Chapter 374 Sort out, business as usual
The key is to put more effort into people, money, material and relationship resources.
To be honest, Chen Tianhua himself feels that he now belongs to the ranks of wealthy people.
Others may not know that before he arrived in Meishan Town, he had assets in Shuangqi Town, Shanyin County, shares in Fengzhong Bank, and money confiscated from Jintianlongyao Gold Mining.
More than two million taels of silver.
Not to mention the potential asset valuation of his current coal mines in Meigui and Guangzhou, the total assets confiscated from the houses in Huaikan Town and Meishan Town reached more than 15 million taels of silver.
Of course, not counting horses, firearms, etc., there are at least two million people and ten thousand taels of silver in this piece of money.
This amount of money is not much, but it is really a lot of money.
However, in the face of the poor infrastructure construction and people's livelihood projects in this autonomous region, if the money is not spent sparingly, it really cannot afford to be wasted.
Just to build a small thermal power plant with a size of 30,000 kilowatts, plus the construction of main equipment and factory buildings, erection of substations, laying of telephone poles, etc., more than two million taels of silver are needed.
There are also subsidies for the tax gap caused by the eradication of opium poppy, as well as difficulties for opium growers, the introduction of various crops, the construction of factories, schools and hospitals, and road construction...
Chen Tianhua understood: These more than 10 million taels of silver are like rootless trees, which are non-renewable and will only become less and less as they are used.
The next step is to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, and find new financial sources to make the snowball grow.
These financial resources are of course mineral resources and net profits generated by various industries.
…
On the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month, Chen Tianhua returned to his home in Hangzhou from Meishan Town. Then on the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month, the couple took their one-year-old son Xiaohu, the nanny and maid, and five guards on a speedboat to Shuangzhou.
Qizhen spends the New Year with her mother.
Wu Laosan, Lin Gen, Jiang Afan, Gao Yutang and other old members from Shuangqi Town all came to the house to get together. Everyone drank and chatted and was very happy.
The lime kiln in Shuangqi Town has now been renamed Shuangqi Building Materials General Factory. In addition to the lime kiln burning lime, there are also brick and tile factories, match factories, etc., and the business is very prosperous.
The aquaculture industry in Guazi Lake is also doing well. The entire Shuangqi Town has made full use of aquaculture to increase income. The living standards of the majority of villagers have improved a lot in recent years.
The people in Shuangqi Town remember Chen Tianhua well. When he returned to his hometown, the people in the town almost crowded in front of his house to welcome him.
During the few days they were in Shuangqi Town, Chen Tianhua and Li Shuzhen, in addition to spending time with their mother at home, took their sons on a speedboat to revisit their old places such as Fucheng, Fushan, Bazi Bridge, and Jingming Academy in Shaoxing.
The two of them were like newlyweds on their honeymoon, playing by the lake, going out for delicious food, carefree, and spending every minute lovingly.
My younger sister Youjuan is nineteen years old today. She is a tall girl now. She is studying at Jingming Girls' School in Shaoxing.
On the early morning of the third day of the first lunar month, she suddenly brought a young man to her home. After meeting her mother and elder brother-in-law, when it was her turn to meet Chen Tianhua, the man seemed very nervous.
Chen Tianhua raised his eyes and took a closer look, and recognized who he was without waiting for an introduction, "Is Xu Mao right?"
"Yes, my brother has a good eye." Youjuan admitted generously.
This Xu Maocai was none other than the poor scholar who was bullied by his classmates. Chen Tianhua felt that he was pitiful, so he only ate sweet potatoes for lunch, and gave him eight copper coins to buy meat buns to eat.
When school was over that afternoon, he bravely stood up and defended Chen Youjuan.
It was for this reason that later on, he and Youjuan were often together.
He helped Youjuan learn culture, and Youjuan gave him half of the extra delicious food she brought from home at noon. Over time, the two developed a secret love.
Later, the family's mother, sister Tingjuan, and brother-in-law Ahua gradually found out about it, but Chen Tianhua was too busy and had no time to tell him.
"Maocai, are you still studying now?" Chen Tianhua asked.
He had a good impression of this poor student with excellent morals and academics, and had no objection at all.
He estimated that Xu Maocai was one or two years older than Youjuan.
"Returning to my brother, I am currently studying at Hangzhou Qiushi Academy for two years and will graduate in one year."
"Wow, you are studying in Hangzhou and your family didn't even tell you. My little sister, you didn't tell me in advance about such a thing?" Chen Tianhua was surprised and glared at Youjuan with dissatisfaction.
Chen Youjuan blushed and hid behind her mother, muttering, "You are busy all year round, and you are still busy when we meet you. Where do you have the free time to care about my affairs?"
"Oh, it's me who is the elder brother, isn't it?" Chen Tianhua shouted pretending to be angry.
"Forget it, don't argue with Youjuan and the others. Mom only found out a few days ago that women are not admitted to the university." The mother quickly tried to smooth things over.
Seeing that his mother had said this, of course Chen Tianhua didn't say anything anymore, so he accepted it.
After dinner at home, Chen Tianhua asked Xu Maocai about his major and school affairs, and said that he would go to the school to see him when he was free after the new year.
This future brother-in-law is not as uneducated as Ah Hua. He can be left by his own side in the future and then be cultivated slowly.
In this way, Chen Tianhua's family of three spent a week in Shuangqi Town before bidding farewell to their mother and sisters and returning to Hangzhou.
Then we spent two days at the home of my father-in-law and mother-in-law.
During this period, Chen Tianhua and his wife also made a special trip to visit Chen Zongyu, and the host and guest had a happy conversation.
Li Shuzhen is now the managing director. If Chen Tianhua wants to know about Fengzhong's business operations, he has to go through his wife.
During the visit, Chen Tianhua proposed that Fengzhong Bank set up a branch in the Meiguang Autonomous Region, believing that business there would develop well.
After Chen Zongyu learned about the situation in the autonomous region, he agreed in principle and would discuss it again when the bank holds a president's office meeting later this year.
Chen Tianhua stayed on the small island in the middle of the lake for another two days. Except for gathering with Sun Yong and a group of senior officers of the New Army, he never left home.
On the tenth day of the first lunar month, he returned to Meiguang Autonomous Region.
The overall situation in the autonomous region is not very stable yet. Chen Tianhua is the anchor of the sea and the soul of the entire military and political system.
Therefore, he cannot stay outside for too long.
According to the overall plan, the center of the Meiguang Autonomous Region will be located in Meishan Town, and the new autonomous region administrative center building will be sited for construction in the spring.
Back at the headquarters office, secretary Sha Ling came in to report on the work.
"Sir, Mr. Zheng Kun of Huaikan Town sent a letter saying that they have just recruited a group of doctors, teachers, etc., many of whom have returned from studying abroad with high academic qualifications. They are undecided about their salary. If you come back, please review it in person.
one time."
