Powerful Career - Chapter 217: Lu Yan Treats a Guest

Professor Zhang and Dean Tang from the Zijin Steel Exploration Institute arrived at Lu Yan's office on time at seven o'clock in the evening.

After inviting them to sit down, Lu Yan did not use too many polite words and directly asked about Zijin Steel's Wugou Village gold mine exploration.

Today's topic was originally about this, so Professor Zhang did not hide anything and reported the situation during this period to Lu Yan.

Professor Zhang's report brings both joy and worry to Sidaogou Town.

The good news is that after exploration, there is indeed a large-scale iron mine in Sidaogou Town, and the reserves are quite objective. The bad news is that the mining conditions of this iron ore are really difficult. It is buried inside the mountain.

Mining can only begin after the mountain top is cut off.

After listening to Professor Zhang's report, Lu Yan fell into deep thought. Flattening a mountain is not a problem for Zijin Steel. There are many precedents for domestic mining. Now Professor Zhang and the people of Zijin Steel

The reason why I came to report this problem to myself must be that there is something else hidden.

Professor Zhang and others didn't say anything, but that doesn't necessarily mean that Lu Yan didn't ask. We are still in the early exploration stage of the project, and it is absolutely necessary to put all issues on the table and make it clear. If we wait until the project is actually invested and constructed,

When the problem was discovered, the ship was so big at that time that it was difficult to turn around.

So Lu Yan directly asked the people in Zijin Steel Industry if they had any problems with cutting down the mountain for mining.

Dean Tang was only a middle-level person in charge of Zijin Steel Industry, but he must have consulted the headquarters on this issue before reporting to Lu Yan. When Lu Yan asked about it, he made a decision and returned in a prepared manner.

Zijin Steel's opinion is that as long as Sidaogou Town decides to cut the mountain, they will have no problem and fully cooperate.

After spinning around, the final ball was kicked to Lu Yan. However, from Zijin Steel's reply just now, Lu Yan also got a hint that there must be some other secrets in this mountain-cutting project. The two of them

None of them were spoken out.

In fact, Professor Zhang came here today to let Lu Yan make up his mind on this matter. After all, they were outsiders and thought that Lu Yan was familiar with the situation in Sidaogou Town, so they didn't tell them anything.

Very clear.

Speaking of Professor Zhang and Zijin Steel's concerns, they are still due to the customs and habits of Sidaogou Town.

There is a tradition in Sidaogou Town that people must be buried in the sky after death. The sky burial they do is to put the person in a coffin and put it on the mountain to weather naturally without sparks or burial. And the mountain behind Wugou Village

, that is, the hilltop planned to be flattened is the location of sky burials in several nearby villages. Over the years,

The mountain was already densely covered with coffins. When the prospectors entered the mountain for exploration, they already aroused dissatisfaction among the local villagers. They were only able to enter the mountain after the village coordinated with them. If the mountain is leveled now, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction among the local villagers.

had objections, so we first sought the town’s opinions beforehand.

Lu Yan has not been in Sidaogou Town for a long time. Although he has heard about the customs and habits of sky burial, he has no specific understanding of it. He also does not understand the iron ore development involving sky burial. At this time,

It's not good to express your opinion rashly.

However, since it has been confirmed that the iron ore resources do exist and the conditions for mining are met, the question is whether to cut the mountain or not. Lu Yan has a rough idea of ​​this matter.

Lu Yan decided to go to Wugou Village to take a look in person and make a decision after understanding the actual situation.

After talking about the serious work matters, the atmosphere became much more relaxed. Especially when he heard that the iron ore mine in Sidaogou Town was confirmed, Lu Yan was very happy. Taking this opportunity, he also planned to reward Lu Yan.

These people on the survey team.

So Lu Yan suggested that they go to a restaurant in the town to have a drink together. Professor Zhang and Dean Tang saw that Secretary Lu personally invited them, so they did not refuse. They called people on both sides and went to the streets of the town together.

Walk to the restaurant.

When Lu Yan went out, he also looked around the offices and called in all the people on the team who were still there.

Gao Yongfu and Li Changsheng were both locals of Sidaogou Town. They had their own houses on the streets of the town and did not usually live in the compound. At this time, the people Lu Yan called were Huangfu Qiang, Wang Junqiang, and Ma Cheng.

.

The team in the town did not often come out for dinner like this. Regarding Lu Yan's sudden invitation, the three of them were a little bit murmuring in their hearts. However, they were idle and they had no reason not to refuse when the top leader called.

When they went out to meet Professor Zhang and Dean Tang, they felt relieved.

The reserved place was Wang Ji, not far from the town government. When Lu Yan and the others arrived, people from the geological survey team and Zijin Steel Industry were already waiting at the door.

The income of the locals in Sidaogou Town is very low, and it is rare to go back to the restaurant. After the people from the geological survey team and Zijin Steel Industry came, they became regular customers of this restaurant. When the boss saw them coming, he quickly greeted them and came in to sit down.

.On the other hand, Lu Yan and the other four town leaders rarely saw each other, so they didn't recognize them now.

There are a total of twelve people from the geological survey team and the capital steel industry, plus Lu Yan and the other four, there are two tables in total.

However, there were only six people sitting at the first table, four town leaders, Professor Zhang and Dean Tang, and the remaining ten people crowded into another table.

As soon as the group of people sat down, the boss quickly served salted peanuts, pig ears and other cold dishes. The conditions in the town were not as good as those in a big hotel, and there were only these two dishes and nothing else, so the boss did not ask for the opinions of the guests.

, I served a few cold dishes first.

Lu Yan estimated that everyone had already eaten, so he ordered the mutton, a specialty of Sidaogou Town, and a few dishes suitable for drinking. After asking everyone, no one wanted staple food.

Lu Yan sat at the main seat, took out two boxes of fine Wucheng brand cigarettes from his pocket, handed them to the restaurant owner and asked him to open them and put one box on each table.

Staring at the top-quality Wucheng cigarettes that Lu Yan took out, the eyes of the people at both tables were shining. These people from the geological survey team and Zijin Steel Exploration Institute have been working in the field all year round, and they are all old smokers. At this time, they saw Lu Yan

Yan took out such a good cigarette, there is no reason not to be greedy.

Lu Yan watched with a smile as everyone grabbed the cigarettes and started smoking them. He took out two whole cigarettes from the bag behind his back and handed them to Professor Zhang and Dean Tang: "Brothers, you have worked hard outside. These two cigarettes

I took the cigarettes back and spread them out for everyone, as a token of appreciation."

The restaurant was not big, and Lu Yan's voice was not quiet. Naturally, the people from the Geological Survey Team and the Exploration Institute heard Lu Yan's words, and they all felt itchy at once, and the influence on the young secretary suddenly improved.

Got up.

The hard food hadn't been served yet, so Lu Yan and the others were smoking and chatting. Everyone had finished their meal, and no one touched the cold dishes on the table at this time.

After seven or eight minutes, the shop owner and a waiter brought up two large pots of Qingshui mutton, a specialty of Sidaogou Town, with a strong aroma, and placed one pot on a table. He introduced with a smile: "How many times?"

The leaders are in luck, this is an authentic Xiagou sheep that was just killed this afternoon, just in time for a few distinguished guests to have a try."

Then he asked Lu Yan, "Secretary Lu, what would you like to drink?" After walking in for so long, the shop owner finally figured out that today's protagonist was actually this young man, the party secretary of Sidaogou Town.

Lu Yan said: "Today is my private treat, and I want to drink good wine. What kind of wine do you have here? The best."

Dean Tang quickly rushed to say that today was a treat from Zijin Steel, but Lu Yan stopped him with a smile and bluntly said that today was a private occasion and he would pay out of his own pocket to express his personal gratitude.

Having said this, Dean Tang naturally couldn't rush to say anything anymore. He had already planned in his heart that he must be the first to do so when paying the bill.

When the shop owner heard what Lu Yan and the others said, he couldn't even close his mouth with laughter, "I have the local Hongchuan special song here, and the Yanghe blue classic. They are both good wines. I don't know which one the leaders like to drink."

?”

Finally, I chose the local Hongchuan Tequ, which is the best type of Hongchuan wine. Although the brand is not very bright, it is an authentic grain wine and is safe to drink.

After ordering the wine, Lu Yan invited everyone to eat meat. In fact, everyone was already greedy for the taste. After hearing Lu Yan's words, they all started to eat.

The shop owner brought the wine in, opened it, and filled a small glass in front of everyone. Lu Yan stopped his chopsticks, stood up, held the wine glass, and said, "Let's have a drink with everyone today. Thank you all for your support some time ago."

Thank you for your hard work, and to celebrate our discovery of a large iron ore in Sidaogou Town!" After saying that, he raised his neck and drank it himself.

Although Lu Yan didn't say many words, they were quite heart-warming. Everyone here also drank the wine in their hands, and they were a little excited. Only then did Huangfu Qiang and the three of them find out.

I am also very happy about the iron ore matter.

Afterwards, they drank and drank happily. Lu Yan also learned about Qishan's concerns from Professor Zhang and others, and he also had some understanding of the matter in his mind.

This was the first time Huangfu Qiang and the others drank with Lu Yan since they joined the same team. The three of them also took this opportunity to express their feelings to Lu Yan.

Lu Yan didn't take those things to heart in the first place, and they cooperated very well with each other during this period. Now when he saw the three of them taking the initiative to move closer to him, there was still some reason not to accept it.

Lu Yan himself was not good at drinking. Although he was treating the guests today, Huangfu Qiang and the others were also members of his family. They kept blocking the drinks for Lu Yan, and he even went out to toast from time to time.

Although there are many people on the side of the Geological Survey Team and the Exploration Institute, the drinking capacity of Huangfu Qiang and his three grassroots cadres is not limited. In addition, there is also "internal strife" between the two waves of people, the Geological Survey Team and the Exploration Institute.
