Director Chen didn't believe Xiao Jinlang's words. He felt that Lao Xiao had exaggerated the ability of the 'Holy Light'. After all, it was too exaggerated to want to penetrate into the grassroots and do business for millions of people.
“Without enough vehicles, enough personnel, and without convenient communications, how is it possible to expand business to the entire region?
Not to mention anything else, just the two of us came to this small county town, and the mobile phone signal was out of service. The communication couldn't keep up, and many things couldn't be done."
Director Chen shook his head. As expected, he was sitting in an office in the imperial capital, and his analysis and examples were clear and logical. If this were an article, it would be full of flowers and flowers, and it would be very beautiful.
Of course there are infrastructure difficulties, but Xiao Jinlang didn’t say that ‘Holy Light’ can now do business for millions of people.
Zhou Qingfeng is working hard to build three-wheelers, build roads everywhere, and keep spending the money he earns. He can even get a loan with a relatively low interest rate from the bank and build houses everywhere.
The first batch of state-owned non-performing assets in Tianyang City was cleared and rectified, and the land for sale was completed. Zhou Qingfeng handed over 10 million Hong Kong dollars to ICBC, and the construction team began to demolish the match factory building in the city.
This first transaction was so easy, which greatly enhanced the confidence of all parties and cleared many obstacles.
Before ICBC could warm up the 10 million Hong Kong dollars, the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, which had already received the news, sent a document through the People's Bank of China, requiring the funds to be handed over immediately.
The province also sees a new way to solve the problems faced by state-owned enterprises and requires the city to continue to make in-depth and bold attempts in this regard.
This means that Zhou Qingfeng does not have that much foreign exchange. If he had tens of billions of dollars, all the state-owned enterprises in the province would just sell it to him.
The current situation is that the banking system cannot trust the city and would rather lend money to Zhou Qingfeng. Zhou Qingfeng cannot trust the city either and would rather engage in physical investment than give money.
The city was short of money, and he couldn't trust his own system, so he could only hold his nose and accept Zhou Qingfeng's physical investment as a loan, and worked hard to build infrastructure.
As long as infrastructure can be built up, consumption will naturally be boosted.
With such a series of ‘death-free gold medals’, Xiao Jinlang could not think of any other difficulties that could stump Zhou Qingfeng.
As for the communication issue, the cars and roads are being worked on, and maybe a dozen program-controlled switches will be smuggled in one day.
Lao Xiao was too lazy to convince Director Chen, so he just took him for a walk. The two visited the county town and continued driving to the countryside. Their destination was Nantou Township, Zhou Qingfeng's original hometown.
The "Chang'an Star" drives along the Tangjiang River. After leaving Andong County, the road becomes difficult to walk.
This made Director Chen feel that Lao Xiao was talking nonsense. He grabbed the armrest in the car, endured the dizziness caused by the bumps, and complained: "On such a broken road, what kind of business do you want to do?"
The road surface is full of potholes and has been in disrepair for many years. The van seemed to be on a trampoline and it was really difficult to drive.
"With such a bad road, it is difficult for cadres to get to the grassroots level, let alone others."
Lao Xiao couldn't refute such complaints. He could only reduce the speed, avoid potholes along the way, and try to make the car more stable.
After turning around a mountain pass, their sight suddenly opened up, and the water of Tangjiang River appeared in front of them. Old Xiao pointed towards the river, "Have you seen that boat?"
There is a sand dredger at work parked on the river. There are many construction sites in Tianyang now, and you can sell the sand you dig up, making a huge profit.
Director Chen was so dizzy from being jolted that he looked weakly out of the car window and said "hmm" twice that he understood. But just about two or three kilometers away from the car, there were five or six sand dredgers.
"so much?."
The dredging boat is equipped with a diesel engine to drive the bucket deep into the river bed. A boat is about a hundred tons, and it takes half a day to dig. The sound of mechanical machinery comes from the river, day and night.
Sand and gravel may seem inconspicuous, but it is an important and indispensable building material. It has certain requirements on material and size, and its sources are limited.
In another twenty years, the domestic construction industry will stop work from time to time because it cannot find enough sand.
This is also unimaginable to many people, because there is so much construction going on across the country. Being able to use the cement consumed by the United States in a hundred years in three years is considered the pinnacle.
Director Chen looked through the car window for a long time, then suddenly pointed to a towed barge on the river and asked, "What does that boat carry?"
There was something dark on the barge. It looked like coal at first glance, but upon closer inspection it was not coal. It took me a long time to confirm that it was silt.
Xiao Jinlang had never been inside the Taipingqiao Pier, but he was familiar with the silt transported on barges. He said doubtfully: "I don't know exactly what happened. Maybe it was the mud dug out of the Tianyang Xiu Pier and transported to the countryside.
Toppled.”
Construction also requires the disposal of large amounts of waste, which is often transported to the outskirts of the city for landfill.
After just a few more glances, Lao Xiao himself added another explanation, "'Holy Light' seems to have built a garbage recycling dump at Taiping Bridge in the south of the city.
The plan has been submitted and may have been approved by the city. These may also be fertilizers processed in the garbage dump.”
This is a reasonable explanation. As long as no one carefully investigates the amount of silt, no one can guess the truth.
The barges traveling on the river were about two to three hundred tons, pulling the silt to a temporary dock built along the coast. Director Chen asked to stop and take a look, and the two saw a farmland covered with black humus silt near the dock.
There is a mud pump at the dock to pump the silt from the barge into the farmland. In the field, there are about a dozen farmers wearing hats and gloves, holding shovels and shovels to level the land.
This made Xiao Jinlang curious, so he and Director Chen came forward to watch the fun and ask what was going on.
The farmer who was working spoke in dialect and couldn't speak clearly, and Lao Xiao couldn't understand it even after asking for a long time. However, the master who operated the mud pump came over to chat with him for a few words after finishing his work.
After talking about it, I realized that things were more complicated than Lao Xiao thought.
"This mud is transported from the dock of 'Shengguang', which is very good for growing vegetables. At first, it was given to nearby villages for free, but then some brainless person wanted to ask the 'Shengguang' company for a fee for silt treatment.
fee.
As a result, the money was not received and the mud was gone. The land contracted by the village to the Holy Light was originally a wasteland with not much grass growing.
Last month, several bulldozers came to flatten this land, which covers several thousand acres from the river bank to the mountain. If you look in the distance, you can see that the bulldozers are still pushing.
After bulldozing, mud will be piled here, and I heard it should be piled at least 30 centimeters thick. If it is piled well, the land will be valuable. It is close to the river bank and there is no need to worry about irrigation. The land is large and can be planted with machines. It can be used to grow vegetables and grain.
good."
A barge of two to three hundred tons looks quite big, but the silt transported is actually not much to spread on the ground. If it is spread to a thickness of 30 centimeters, it will not be able to spread much.
This field is right next to the road, just over a field ridge. The farmers working on it are hired from nearby villages. Director Chen walked to the edge of the muddy field and took a look, and Lao Xiao reached out and grabbed a handful of black mud.
There seems to be a lot of silt, but it contains a lot of water. To cover thousands of acres of land, it would take hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of tons of silt.
Tianyang is located in the southern hills, and the land is mainly yellow soil with poor fertility. There are only low weeds on the mountains outside the city, and there are no tall trees because the soil is too barren.
If it can be covered with a thick layer of silt, it will be great for agricultural farming.
"Is it possible that that kid wants to start his own farm again?" Xiao Jinlang shook his head and smiled bitterly. But this was a good thing, and he didn't say much.
