Dang Shaobo's eyes lit up, but then dimmed: "Lin Yuan, this amount of money is an extremely huge number. I know you have some friends with deep pockets, but as far as I know, your friends have invested a lot outside.
, where can you get so much funds?"
Lin Yuan thought for a while and said: "Let's check out Minister Ji's tone first. As long as Minister Ji can approve it, anything can be said. China's private capital is very abundant now. As long as the conditions are favorable, it is still very easy to raise funds."
The report was written quickly and was easy to sign. When I told seniors like Xie Zhikun about the situation, everyone expressed their willingness to sign the report.
After getting everyone's approval, Lin Yuan couriered the report, passed it through the hands of Xie Zhikun, Tian Yuanbo and other seniors and signed it, and finally handed it to Ji Wanglou.
When Ji Wanglou saw this report, he felt both excited and troubled.
What is exciting is that Lin Yuan and well-known domestic experts have determined that Jasper bamboo is a new species with extremely high medicinal value. Some special medicinal properties can even trigger huge changes in the use of some prescription drugs.
This is definitely Ji Wanglou's political achievement, because Lin Yuan had called him in advance. Although it was to talk about the Yang'an District Health Bureau, it also explained what Lin Yuan was doing there. Moreover, this report was delivered directly to
He must have a share of the credit for what he has done.
The trouble is, Lin Yuan and Ji Ji, the country's top experts, have put forward ideas and suggested that the Ministry of Health should take the lead in establishing a Jasper Bamboo research and protection base.
This is completely allowed in terms of policy. With so many expert inspection reports, there is no doubt about their authenticity and authority. If it was just for confirmation, Ji Wanglou could even sign on the spot.
But when it comes to establishing a protection base, especially when it comes to money, Ji Wanglou is in a bit of a dilemma.
It’s not that the Ministry of Health has no money, and it’s not that Ji Wanglou has no authority to approve. The key issue is that such a protection base requires at least one billion investment. Let alone reporting to the National Development and Reform Commission for approval, even here at the Ministry of Health.
Very difficult to pass.
Because the Ministry of Health manages so many things, the annual state allocation can be described as massive. The key is that the things to be done are also massive.
When it comes to the use of funds, various places have shown their magical powers in order to allocate funds to multiple points. Of course, some of them serve small groups, but most of them apply for funds to do things.
It is indeed possible for the Ministry of Health to take the lead in building bases, but just shouting is definitely not enough. Money is also needed. If it costs several million, Ji Wanglou can grit his teeth and approve it with a swipe of a pen.
Now, even if one or two billion were thrown in, it might not make any difference. Thinking of having a headache, Ji Wanglou called Lin Yuan.
"Xiao Lin, you have really posed a problem for me. I find that you are quite courageous now. As soon as you open your mouth and raise your hand, you will create a big project that will cause a stir across the country. As a minister, I feel a little embarrassed."
"Minister Ji, you are joking. I understand your difficulties, but Jasper Bamboo can be developed regardless of its rarity or its new medicinal value. Minister Ji, you also know that similar
Such a rare species that lives in a corner cannot withstand being stolen by covetous people. I am afraid that overnight, we will be insulated from it."
"Ahem, I'm worried about this too. Xiao Lin, news like this cannot be blocked. If anyone knows that Jasper Bamboo is unique to Hongjiazhai, not to mention used as medicine, even if it is stolen to make a specimen, it will be all
Unimaginable wealth. If Jasper Bamboo is destroyed by such people, all of us who know its value will be sinners of history."
"That's why, Minister Ji, I will come to you to find a solution. Hongjiazhai is now overcrowded, and reporters from all walks of life are gathering. The matter of Biyuzhu cannot be covered up even if it is tried. We must come up with protective measures quickly, otherwise,
The consequences are unimaginable.”
"Haha, Xiao Lin, you are clearly trying to trick me. You attracted attention at Hongjiazhai and then threw the investigation report to me. If I didn't do something, netizens would be drooling.
Could drown me."
"Minister Ji, it's not that serious. This is what I think. No matter whether it is rare, ornamental or medicinal, Jasper Bamboo is of the highest quality. We haven't discovered it, so if it becomes extinct, it has nothing to do with us.
.But once we know it, we have an obligation to let this species continue or even develop, don’t you think?”
"I don't understand this truth, but the key issue is money. Xiao Lin, if you take the lead in launching an initiative and go through some approval procedures, I won't worry. Whenever money is mentioned, there will be a lawsuit. Look at me as a minister
It's quite impressive, but in fact, I just use my pen to send out millions, and that's all money that must be allocated according to the law."
In fact, Lin Yuan understands Ji Wanglou very well. He has the power to review and decentralize special funds, but each amount is not allocated casually. It is approved by subordinates after a long period of application, and he finally makes the decision to decentralize it.
of.
Among them, there are research funds, equipment funds, upgrading funds, and a lot of miscellaneous funds. Which of these items are basically funds that must be paid? If you want your subordinates to do things, how can you do things without paying them?
For example, the funding for the project that ranked first in Lin Yuan's training class was approved by several big shots, and the president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences personally nodded.
The costs of internal systems are controlled at all levels, let alone applying for a project like a protection base that requires a lot of financial support.
The Ministry of Health has a specially approved budget, but this budget requires approval from the National Development and Reform Commission. In short, it is very difficult to obtain an unplanned budget.
Thinking of this, Lin Yuan said: "Minister Ji, I know that your style of doing things is not to give up halfway, and I have the same attitude. Let's put it this way, how much funding can you apply for?"
Ji Wanglou thought for a while and said: "Your report needs to be evaluated. From my experience, if you want to apply for funds quickly, it cannot exceed 50 million."
Fifty million sounds like a lot, but when it comes to building a Jasper Bamboo Protection Base in Hongjiazhai, the difference is really too far.
But this is already the best that Ji Wanglou can do, and there is still so much funding gap left. Lin Yuan feels numb when he thinks about it.
After pondering for a long time, Lin Yuan said: "Minister Ji, let's evaluate the report quickly. I need documents officially recognized by the official authority. As long as the 50 million you promised can be received, I will find a way to do the rest.
"
"Okay, no problem. I will organize an expert group evaluation immediately. According to the organizational procedures, such a large-scale evaluation will take at least half a month. I will try to shorten the time as much as possible and give you the official documents within seven days. Also, 50 million
The special support funds need to be claimed by a legal person, that is, the person in charge of preparing to build the protection base. Do you want to do this yourself?"
"I'm afraid this won't work. I have other things to do. I will find a very reliable person to do it."
Ji Wanglou asked Lin Yuan some issues that he should pay attention to, and then hung up the phone.
Lin Yuan found Dang Shaobo and recounted the conversation with Ji Wanglou. Dang Shaobo was surprised and said: "President Lin, do you really dare to do this? If Minister Ji really approves the 50 million assistance fund,
You can’t back down even if you want to.”
"Do I still have a way out? Look at the situation in Hongjiazhai. There are so many people and piles of media reporters. The matter of Biyuzhu will soon be known to the outside world. If we act a little slower, I'm afraid Biyuzhu will suffer
A devastating disaster."
"Yes, jade bamboo was not recognized by the world before, and the people in Hongjiazhai were still able to protect this bamboo forest. If too many people knew the value of jade bamboo, how could the people in Hongjiazhai be able to resist so many thieves?
Where are the cutters?”
"So, we have to do it if we can, and if we can't do it, we have to do it with gritted teeth. It's just that we didn't discover Jasper Bamboo. As long as we discover it, we must hold on to this precious gift that nature has given to all Chinese people.
resource."
"President Lin, you are so broad-minded and courageous! Tell me what to do? I will listen to you in everything."
"Although the biggest shortage at the moment is funds, the top priority is to protect Hongjiazhai. The people in Hongjiazhai alone are not enough. We must persuade the local departments of Yang'an to intervene so that we can have enough people."
Its power protects the Jasper Bamboo."
"Yes, we have to find the local department. By the way, is the city secretary Sun Ming here? We can contact him."
Dang Shaobo's reminder made Lin Yuan happy. He was still worried about how to contact the local department in Yang'an and how he had forgotten about Sun Mingyou. This was a secretary to the highest-level local official in Yang'an.
Lin Yuan and Dang Shaobo quickly found Sun Mingyou and expressed their thoughts. Sun Mingyou was shocked and quickly called the municipal party committee.
Although the leader did not come in person, he gave Sun Mingyou full authority to discuss with Lin Yuan in detail. All aspects involved could be discussed at any time and resolved at any time by asking for instructions at any time.
Regarding the safety issue of Biyu Bamboo, Sun Mingyou immediately gave an answer. The forest public security department deployed special personnel to protect the bamboo forest in Hongjiazhai 24 hours a day. No one is allowed to approach without permission.
here.
Sun Mingyou's reply made Lin Yuan temporarily relieved. In any case, the first step to protect the jade bamboo was taken. Next, there was the issue of money. Without money, protecting the jade bamboo was just empty talk.
The Hongjiazhai protection base needs someone like Dang Shaobo who is responsible, proficient in pharmacology, and has certain management capabilities. Lin Yuan thought about it for a long time, but couldn't think of a suitable candidate.
Suddenly, the image of a person flashed in Lin Yuan's mind. This person is simply the perfect candidate for the legal person of this protection base. But because of his special status, can the official allow him to be the legal person? Having said that, this person may not accept it.
