"Oh, what you are making bamboo weaving crafts now, right?" Mr. Jiang took the unfinished crafts from an old man. This is a fruit basket made of fine bamboo strips. Although it has not been completed, it can be seen that the thing is exquisitely made. "What a craft, this fruit basket is beautifully woven."

"It's almost done. If you like it, I'll do it for you now." The old man was very happy to hear that the leader liked his skills.

"Then I can't take it for nothing. Dongbao, how much do you plan to sell this thing? I'll pay for it!" Mr. Jiang really liked this fruit basket a little, and said that he wanted to ask the secretary to pay, "Also, Dongbao, how did you think of using this thing to make foreign exchange?"

"Didn't I read this in the newspaper? It is said that Dongyang wood carvings were well received at the Canton Fair and earned a lot of foreign exchange for the country. I thought, although our village does not know wood carving, these elders are good at making bamboo weaving and bamboo carvings, and maybe they can go to the Canton Fair to exchange for foreign exchange." Although the reform began in 1979, the Canton Fair began in 1957.

In the early Canton Fair, because China's industrial development was relatively backward and lacked industrial products exported to the outside world, handicraft products were highly praised by developed countries and regions. Dongyang wood carving was one of the best. After Shen Long discovered bamboo weaving and bamboo carving crafts at the homes of several elderly people in the village, he immediately thought of this.

It is also common for countries with backward industrial industries to earn foreign exchange by relying on tourism and handicrafts. In the era when Shen Long traveled over, when he traveled to countries such as Nepal and Cambodia, he would definitely not bring back industrial products, but most of them would bring some local handicrafts. This market is still relatively broad.

"Dongbao, although your method is good, the province cannot support you. The number of places to go to the Canton Fair is limited. I have to take care of those large enterprises and companies that have already had successful experience." Mr. Jiang hesitated a little. Of course he knew that he used handicrafts to exchange foreign exchange, but not everyone can go to the Canton Fair now. Xiao Lei's stall will definitely not be qualified.

"It's okay, I heard that many people take their own things to the Canton Fair to wait for opportunities. I'm also learning English with my wife these days. Then I'll take things to the door and guard it." Don't be afraid, as long as I go to the Canton Fair, I will definitely be able to sell things. Nowadays, not many people understand the preferences of foreigners better than me.

"You still learn English?" Mr. Jiang was completely convinced. "Oh, with the opening up of our country, there are more and more places where we can use English, but there are not many people around me who know English. They don't have time to learn. This time, they should bring them all and let them see, Dongbao, you, a farmer, are learning English, and they are still embarrassed to not work hard?"

"Come on, Dongbao, let me tell us a few words and see how you are learning?" County Magistrate Xu was also surprised. I didn't even know how to speak English, so I learned Russian in college.

Shen Long said, "Welcome Mr. Jiang to investigate. Xiaoleijia can not get rich without the support of superior leaders."

After finishing, I scratched my head, "These sentences were taught by my wife by the dictionary in advance. I can only know the simplest hello, how much, etc."

"Haha, it's quite like that. Let me tell me what Dongbao said just now?" Mr. Jiang was immediately happy. A secretary who knew English next to him translated it. "Secretary Dongbao said that you are welcome to come and inspect. The Xiao Lei family can get rich in the support of the superiors. Although Secretary Dongbao's grammar is a bit problematic, his pronunciation is still very accurate."

Hearing this, Mr. Jiang became even happier, "Oh, I have heard people say similar things to me over the years, but it is the first time in English! I have to support this one!"

"Come on, Dongbao, tell me, what help do you Lei family need now? Oh, the Canton Fair is not going to happen. The province has already had a unified plan for this matter. It's August now, and the list has been decided." Mr. Jiang said. Chen Long gave him too many surprises today. He now said in his heart: Good comrades like Lei Dongbao must support them.

However, the Canton Fair is divided into spring and autumn. The autumn is held in mid-October. The units that the province is going to have been decided. He really can't help in this regard. The whole province is counting on this foreign exchange to introduce equipment.

"Can I ask you for a favor? Don't... don't spread the news that we are going to the Canton Fair, otherwise there will be more people going there and our Xiao Lei family will not be able to sell it." Chen Long pretended to be embarrassed and said hesitantly.

"Haha, you, you, at this time, you only care about your own interests?" Mr. Jiang was happy again. Chen Long, who had just said that he was not very similar to a farmer. Now this sentence reflects the unique cunning of the farmers, which made Mr. Jiang feel much more intimate.

"But you can rest assured that going to the Canton Fair in private is not a matter of promotion. Xiao Zhong, don't write about this matter first." Mr. Jiang not only agreed himself, but also reminded Xinhua News Agency reporter Zhong Dajun.

Zhong Dajun agreed, and then Chen Long made another request, "Also, I think if our Xiao Lei family is lucky and can exchange for foreign exchange, can we keep it for use by ourselves? Mr. Jiang, I am either planning to buy something else, or the top students from Anyun University have recommended several advanced machines for producing feed abroad, and I want to buy it for use."

At this time, foreign exchange cannot be used casually. The foreign exchange earned by each unit must be handed over to the foreign exchange management department, and then report to the import and export company to apply for the introduction of certain equipment. If you follow the regular channels, village-run enterprises like Xiao Leijia will have no chance at all.

Mr. Jiang didn't think Chen Long could get much foreign exchange, and he could still make the decision on this small amount, so he agreed casually, "Okay, as long as you can get foreign exchange, I promise to leave it to you."

"Hey, thank you, Mr. Jiang; Oh, there is another thing. When the feed factory starts, you will definitely use some planned supplies. I promise that there will not be a lot of them, and I will not resell them to others. We only use them ourselves. Can you help solve the problem?" Although the feed factory also needs to use the planned supplies, they are all trace chemical products, and the quantity is not large at all, which is much smaller than the steel and cement required by the prefabricated plate factory.

"It's okay. I also want to see your Xiao Lei family's feed be produced as soon as possible." This is also a trivial matter. Not to mention that Old Jiang is old, County Mayor Xu can handle it. He finally opened his mouth again. Why is it such a trivial matter? "Dongbao, do you have any other requirements?"
