Chinese people have a strong sense of local sentiment. Mr. Yu Guangzhong wrote a song called "Nostalgia" that vividly describes this feeling.

This plot is due to Chinese traditional culture, clan habits and family concepts.

Chinese civilization is an agricultural civilization, and Chinese people have different feelings for the mountains, water, grass and trees.

This farming civilization forms a society based on families, clans, and clans. It pays attention to filial piety and family affection. Chinese families take meticulous care of the old and the young.

The Chinese advocate "Don't travel far when your parents are here." Westerners are extremely opposed to this custom and concept. The designers of the capitalist system broke the barriers of local constraints hundreds of years ago. Why?

It's a very simple truth. If young people take care of their parents, who will go to work in a factory?

This is the clash of two civilizations.

By 2000, after more than 20 years of reform and opening up in China, industry quickly replaced agriculture as the pillar of the economy. Countless young people left the countryside and came to the cities to become migrant workers.

Modern industry is fragmenting traditional customs and turning more people into "wanderers". Donghua is also accelerating this change.

China has a large but barren land, a large population and poverty. Since the founding of New China, it has been subject to blockade by developed countries.

How can China get rid of barrenness and poverty? How can China stand strong among the nations of the world?

Only rely on people.

Just after the Lantern Festival, Hu Zhenyu, a veteran from Meiyuan County, Jiangling, was packing his clothes. He was also preparing to leave his hometown to work.

When Hu Zhenyu graduated from high school, his parents were swept away by floods. He and his grandmother depended on each other. In order to make a future for him, her grandmother sent him to join the army.

Unexpectedly, after Hu Zhenyu joined the army, the cataracts in his grandmother's eyes worsened and developed into blindness. This is also the reason why he chose to retire and return home after fighting floods and providing disaster relief.

That year, Donghua.com reporter Sun Aili interviewed Hu Zhenyu, and the two kept in touch.

At Sun Aili's suggestion, Hu Zhenyu spent his retirement allowance and took his grandmother to Jinling for eye surgery, which restored a certain amount of vision.

After that, Hu Zhenyu hoped that Donghua would come to Meiyuan County to build a factory, so that he could work nearby and take care of his grandma.

But after waiting for more than a year, Donghua went to the remote west to develop, and there was probably no chance of success here in Meiyuan.

In the first month of this year, Hu Zhenyu's grandmother began to urge him to go out to work again.

Meiyuan is a land of plenty, with developed agriculture and lagging industrial and sideline industries. Many young men from neighboring villages go out to work, and most of them go to Pengcheng.

A few days ago, Sun Aili called Hu Zhenyu. Donghua opened a battery factory in Pengcheng and asked him if he wanted to go. If he was interested, he could recommend it.

Hu Zhenyu was moved. Several of his classmates came back from Pengcheng during the Chinese New Year. When they got together, Hu Zhenyu felt alienated from them. It was a world of separation.

The students described the colorful world of Pengcheng, the large and small factories, the legends of getting rich overnight. The fire in the eyes of the friends was very similar to that of Donghua employees, and Hu Zhenyu was tempted.

Grandma has sick eyes but a clear heart. On the 16th day of the first lunar month, she prepared a bag for her grandson. The quilts, blankets and drinking cups issued by the army were all usable, and they were all packed into the backpack.

There was also a purse in the luggage, stuffed with soil that Hu Zhenyu brought from his parents' graves. It felt like he was closer to home with these.

Grandma said: "Our house is right across the street and your second uncle is responsible for it. You should work hard when you go to Pengcheng and become famous as soon as possible."

The naughty maid in the village has also gone to Pengcheng. You should bring one back as soon as possible. I can still take care of your child..."

Hu Zhenyu threw himself into grandma's arms and suffered for a while, then put a wad of money into the mattress behind grandma.

...

After the Lantern Festival, Chen Shuzhi also embarked on a journey.

His position was the chairman of the supervisory board, but in the past two years, Tang Wenliang had taken over all the affairs of the supervisory board. Chen Shuzhi was confused for a while.

Both girls have their own in-laws, so they have nothing to worry about.

He is 60 years old in two years. If he had been in a state-owned enterprise, he would have gone to see his grandson on the second line, but his daughter's children would not be sent to him.

Moreover, he felt that his health was not bad, he could drink a pound of alcohol, and he knew more about national policies than the county magistrate, so Chen Shuzhi wanted to do something.

What does Donghua lack most now? Firstly, it lacks funds, and secondly, it lacks equipment. What it lacks most is manpower.

So Chen Shuzhi took the initiative to ask Ying to recruit workers.

The first stop he went to was Changlong.

Blue City is the cradle of industry in northern China. It has iron mines in the north, coal mines in the center, and seaports in the south. Its resource endowment and geographical location are very advantageous.

Changlong belongs to Qinyu, and Qinyu was affiliated to Lanshi more than ten years ago.

Qinyu has its own port, which is an important hub for the transportation of coal from the north to the south of China. With this port, Qinyu City's life is better than the worst.

However, Changlong is located in a mountainous area in the north and is not connected to the port. It has insufficient land and weak industry, so there has been little development change in the 20 years since it was reopened.

In another life, Changlong once made a lot of money for several years by supplying iron ore to Bei Iron and Steel.

Now, several iron mines have been granted mining rights by Donghua, and they have not been mined for two years.

The reason is obvious. Nowadays, the grade of foreign ore is high and the price is still cheap. There is no need to invest huge sums of money in building roads and mining in deep mountains.

Therefore, Changlong's senior management had some views on Donghua: Donghua bought several mines in Changlong and left them there, paying only a small amount of mining rights fees every year. It really didn't deserve the reputation of a large company.

Chen Shuzhi came to Changlong in the name of inspecting the mines, but the news was accidentally "leaked" to the county. At the Changlong Hotel, the county leaders entertained Chen Shuzhi with delicious food and drinks.

After eight liang of wine, the county magistrate Zhang Guangyin asked: "Uncle Chen, tell me, when will our mines be mined? Will I have any success this term?"

Chen Shuzhi put down the chopsticks in his hand and said: "Guangyin, what I say does not represent Donghua. I don't think so. I personally estimate that these iron ore mines will not be moved within five years."

After saying this, the whole table became silent.

Chen Shuzhi understands everyone's feelings. When a mine is opened, there will be resource compensation fees. The resource compensation fees are extracted based on the sales revenue of the mine. Judging from the situation in other places, the income is at least tens of millions.

When a mine is opened, it is necessary to recruit workers, and it can provide employment for two to three thousand laborers.

Ore transportation can also make money, at least those roads need to be repaired and reinforced.

There are many other benefits. But Chen Shuzhi’s words extinguished everyone’s hopes.

I just heard him continue: "You don't have a railway here, and the roads are in such a bad shape, even if you open the mine, you can't transport it."

Someone said: "We can transport the ore to Anxi County and sell it to Bei Iron and Steel."

Chen Shuzhi glared at the other party: "Beigang has started to use foreign ore, and the grade of foreign ore is above 60, which is transported directly to the blast furnace.

Foreign ore is very cheap now. It costs less than 200 yuan per ton to transport it from Australia to the port. The mining cost here is 150 yuan, and the grade is half as good as others. So the iron ore in Changlong costs 300 yuan per ton. You

Do you think Beigang is stupid?"

Everyone at the table spoke loudly, they were all cadres and they had no shortage of brains, and they could calculate the accounts clearly.

Chen Shuzhi felt happy, it felt good to teach these cadres a lesson.

Everyone in Binhai knew his background and only regarded him as the village party secretary, but outside, he was the chairman of the board of supervisors of Donghua Industrial Group.

Donghua has two sets of teams: a board of directors and a board of supervisors. I, Chen Shuzhi, am the chairman of the board of supervisors.

The boss of Donghua can sit in the same row as the provincial leaders, and the chairman/chairman of the supervisory board Lai Changlong can be regarded as condescending.

Zhang Guangyin picked up Chen Shuzhi's chopsticks, picked up a piece of pheasant, and two chestnut mushrooms, and put them into Chen Shuzhi's plate.

These actions are done very seriously, and everyone at the dinner table understands them. This routine is like offering incense to the God of Wealth.

Zhang Guangyin said: "Uncle, to be honest with you, I can only work in Changlong for two more years. If I do well, I can just leave. If I don't, I will move to a good person."

But I'm not willing to give in. The tree wants its bark and the person wants his face. I don't want the people in Changlong to mention my name and say: This person has been here eating and drinking for free for several years and has done nothing.

You are experienced and experienced, please help us to find out whether there is a way out for Changlong."

Chen Shuzhi thought about it for a while and said: "Guangyin, since you said so, I will explain it to you.

We often say that we rely on mountains to eat mountains and water to eat water. There are mines in Changlong Mountain, but the reserves are not large.

Not to beat you, but the proven reserves of less than 2 million tons are not enough for Donghua to mine for one year.

So who do you rely on?

Our Donghua senior management once discussed this. In addition to irrigation, the economic function of large rivers is shipping.

As for the Changlong section of the Blue River, you can only walk on rafts.

We can’t rely on mountains or water, so what else can we rely on?”

Director Zhang of the Bureau of Land and Resources couldn't help but ask: "On what basis?"

Chen Shuzhi picked up the wine glass and drank the wine in one gulp: "Rely on people!"

When everyone looked at each other, Chen Shuzhi asked: "How many people do we have in Changlong?"

Zhang Guangyin said: "Three hundred and ninety-seven thousand and eight."

Chen Shuzhi groaned: "It's really a lot, with more than 200,000 labor force."

Zhang Guangyin asked: "You mean to let these people go to work?"

Chen Shuzhi said: "That's right."

Someone asked: "But when people leave, how can we do the work at home? Has Changlong District announced development?"

Chen Shuzhi continued to look at a silly boy: "Confused, this is a sign of not liberating the mind.

When people stay at home, can money come to them automatically?

Let me tell you, in Nanchen Village we have more than 1,000 acres of land, but only 10 households are still farming.
