"That's not true. Beiluan is quite suitable for raising dairy cows. Experts say that in fact, the entire Taocheng County is suitable for raising dairy cows. What's troublesome now is that everyone is vying to raise cows. Beiluan Town, Liuqiao Township, and Zhulin Township Everyone is crying and shouting to do this, it’s hard to distribute..."
Man Baoyuan wiped his mouth, took the cigarette handed over by Yu Yan, and said breathlessly.
Ma Changji also drank a cup of tea and said: "Yes, Secretary. Now everyone is very motivated. They know that the things the district is asked to do will definitely make money. Who won't rush to do it? This time, let's go to Cotton It’s a bumper harvest. Many farmers are counting their money and are so happy, hey!”
As he said that, Ma Changji nodded repeatedly, looking very happy.
The cotton that was planted before has basically reached the harvest stage.
As early as last month, two textile factories came to place orders, vying to buy all the cotton from Beiluan. The information provided by the State Planning Commission is very accurate. Textile factories across the country are short of cotton. Beiluan The planting area in Luan District is not small, and the cotton output is not bad. Although for large textile factories, this amount of cotton is just a drop in the bucket. But mosquito meat is still meat no matter how little it is. With the cotton shortage extremely serious, this amount of cotton in Beiluan District , has also become a hot commodity. When harvest time comes, the cotton bolls that have just been picked are often taken away by others. They are all in cash and there is no credit.
The farmers in Beiluan District were very happy when they received so much cash for the first time. They praised the district for doing a good thing for the people. Families who planted a lot of cotton were gearing up to prepare for another big effort next year. Families with relatively little or no cotton cultivation were extremely jealous when they saw people putting a lot of money into their pockets. They slapped their thighs and blamed themselves for being so stupid in the first place and not knowing how to listen to the district cadres?
Large-scale cotton planting is the work that Ma Changji is specifically responsible for. Now that the harvest has been good, everyone has made money. Wherever District Chief Ma goes, he can hear the words of praise from the villagers, and he is really happy.
Sense of achievement!
This is the sense of accomplishment!
Ma Changji has been a grassroots cadre for 20 years, but has rarely received sincere praise from so many farmer friends. For a time, he felt quite satisfied and felt that no matter how hard and tiring he was, it was worth it.
It goes without saying that I admire Secretary Yu.
Now I heard that a dairy factory was going to be built in the district and everyone was encouraged to raise dairy cows. Naturally, everyone rushed to do it. The main leaders of the township personally stepped in and walked around Man Baoyuan and Ma Changji, calling the district chiefs one after another, which was very affectionate. I just hope that I can set up a breeding farm on my own territory.
Everyone now understands that Secretary Wawa is very capable and everything he does is reliable. As soon as the feed factory started, the supply of products exceeded demand, and there was basically no inventory. The production line is still being produced here, and the trucks pulling goods are already there. There was a queue at the entrance of the factory. This was all thanks to the advertisement that Yu Yan had asked to do in advance. The advertisement had already been put out before the feed factory started.
After seeing several factories come into operation one after another, the money flows into the pockets of the district finance department. Next year, life will become richer. Who is not jealous of the towns and villages below? They all took action and prepared to tinker with their own cash cows.
"Haha, I can't help you two with this. You two are more familiar with Beiluan's situation than I am, so you can decide. As I said, places with convenient transportation should be given priority. Fresh milk. Things are difficult to store and must be squeezed out and must be sent to the factory for processing as soon as possible, otherwise they will deteriorate. Rural areas that are too remote are not suitable for building dairy farms for the time being."
Yu Yan said with a smile.
For specific work, if the cadres below are competent, Yu Yan will not interfere. To liberate the minds of grassroots cadres, we must first let go of their hands and feet. Leaders who do everything for the world are not smart. Either they do bad things, or they do bad things. Zhuge Liang is the second best, exhausted to death!
"Yes, that's what we think too... But Secretary, this road really needs to be repaired. If the road is blocked, it's hard to make things happen."
Ma Changji said with emotion.
Yu Yan smiled slightly.
In the past, when it came to building roads, many cadres only agreed with their mouths but disagreed in their hearts. Now Ma Changji has taken the initiative to bring it up. It can be seen that the concepts of cadres are indeed undergoing a significant change. Once the economy starts to develop, traffic problems will change. It is extremely important. At present, only the provincial roads leading to the county are being renovated, and the construction of rural roads has not yet been put on the agenda. But this matter cannot be postponed for a long time. If the traffic problem is not solved, Beiluan will The common prosperity of all people in the district can only be an empty talk. It is not enough for the villages close to the district office to become prosperous, nor is it the result Yu Yan wants.
While he was talking, the phone rang.
Yu Yan picked up the phone, answered a few words, and then smiled.
Man Baoyuan and Ma Changji looked at each other, both thinking, could something good happen again?
In the afternoon, a black Polonaise sedan was driving on the provincial highway from Taocheng to Antai.
The driver was Yu Yan.
This car was owned by the County Construction Committee and was lent to Beiluan District. Long Cheng was a lobbyist that time and personally promised Yu Yan benefits. In the end, Ren Sheng was still arrested, but Long Cheng was not the car. Insisted on lending it to Beiluan District.
Ren Tuliang was arrested, Chen Dong was demoted and transferred, and the world of Taocheng has changed. Long Chengdun lost his backer. Xiali killed Ren Sheng and Chen Dong. The next step must be to clean up the old forces in Taocheng and completely establish Xiali's new Order. If Long Cheng doesn't think of a way to change the door, he is afraid that his position as director of the county construction committee will not be secure.
So this almost brand-new Polonaise became a second-hand car and was loaned to Beiluan District.
Yu Yan didn't say anything. In any case, this car can play a much greater role in Beiluan District than staying in the county construction committee. Anyway, the rumor that Secretary Yu is thick-skinned and evil-hearted has spread in Taocheng County. , and don’t care about one more car.
The feeling of driving an imported car is different from that of a broken Jeep, it is very comfortable.
There was a reason why Yu Yan rushed to Antai at this time. The call just now came from Hu Bo, the mine manager of Kaiqi Coal Mine, a subsidiary of Shengfeng Coal Mine in Liaoning, and Wang Tianyu's cousin.
When we were in Qinan a few days ago, Wang Tianyu made a connection and Hu Bo and Yu Yan met. To be honest, Yu Yan was also shocked by Hu Bo's youth. He looked less than thirty years old. According to Wang Tianyu, He is twenty-nine years old. He has been the mine manager of Kaiqi Coal Mine for more than a year. Kaiqi Coal Mine is affiliated to Shengfeng Coal Mine and is officially at the county and regiment level. Hu Bo used to work in the Ministry of Coal, although he rose relatively high at the ministry level. It’s fast, but it’s still very rare to be placed at the top of a large state-owned enterprise at such a young age.
Hu Bo was very interested in Yu Yan's proposal to contract a mine from Kaiqi Coal Mine to Beiluan. This was originally his idea. The number of workers under collective ownership in Kaiqi Coal Mine reached one-third of the number of workers under national ownership. Second, it was an extremely huge burden, making production and operation difficult. Hu Bo had been the mine manager for more than a year, and the issue he considered most was how to accommodate the more and more children of workers in the mine.
If this problem is not solved, any other work will be nonsense. The workers will not agree at all.
But Hu Bo tried it out and found that this path was simply unworkable. None of the other provinces agreed to open a flag coal mine to contract the mine. Also, why should we let you contract our mine? Don’t we know how to mine it ourselves? You have a lot of unemployed young people in Kaiqi Coal Mine, but are there too few of us?
After hitting the wall twice, Hu Bo was a little discouraged. It seemed that he was still a little whimsical. At this stage, not many people would dare to do such a thing. This is not like wearing a pair of jeans and growing long hair. Being unconventional is closely related to your own future. Who wants to accompany Hu Bo to mess around?
Unexpectedly, Wang Tianyu said that someone was willing to give it a try.
When Hu Bo heard this, he was very doubtful, so he hurried from Liaoning to Shanlu to meet with Yu Yan.
When they met in Qinan, Yu Yan was surprised by Hu Bo's youth, but Hu Bo was almost stunned. He was obviously a college student, how could he have anything to do with the secretary of the district committee?
As the two sides chatted, Hu Bo was soon surprised again. The first surprise was because of Yu Yan's age, and the second surprise was because of Yu Yan's knowledge. Yu Yan's understanding of political, economic and social development Hu Bo truly admired Fang Er's insights.
Of course, Hu Bo had some criticisms about the size of Beiluan District. It was just a county area and the level was too low. It is estimated that there are no particularly rich mineral deposits in the territory. However, this was not a problem. Hu Bo agreed to Yu Yan's request for cooperation. .No matter what, as long as you can take this step, that would be great.
So not long after Yu Yan returned to Taocheng, Hu Bo decided to come to Beiluan District in person for an on-the-spot investigation.
Hu Bo took several assistants and set off from Liaoning and took a train straight to Antai. Originally, mine director Hu Bo was suggested to take a plane for such a long journey, but Hu Bo refused.
Airplanes are too expensive!
There are four of them in total. How much does it cost to fly here and there?
Kaiqi Coal Mine has been losing money for many years, and its financial situation has long been in dire straits. However, it is not that it cannot afford a few plane tickets. But Hu Bo is a young cadre with ideas and is unwilling to spend money indiscriminately under such circumstances. , no one would accuse me of being young and greedy for enjoyment.
Hu Bo and the others arrived at Antai Railway Station around seven in the morning, and Yu Yan had to arrive at Antai in advance to pick up the train.
Two days later, Hu Bo stood on a mountain peak in Beiluan District, looking around and grinning.
"Secretary Yu, the conditions are more difficult than I imagined!"
Hu Bo's appearance is very ordinary, without much distinctiveness. He is about 1.7 meters tall, neither fat nor thin. In short, if you put a person like him on the street, he will be lost in the crowd in less than a second. , is like a drop of water blending into the sea, never to be found again. Hu Bo used to work as a government cadre in the capital. This kind of appearance and temperament that is invisible to everyone is the common feature of most government cadres. In government agencies, especially large agencies, being in the limelight, Being unconventional and different is a taboo. Over time, even the appearance has become so ordinary.
But Hu Bo is not without any characteristics. The characteristic of Hu Bo lies in his eyes, which are very clear and brilliant. It seems that no matter what matter, he can see through the essence at a glance.
This kind of look is consistent with Hu Bo's current status. He was able to serve as the director of Kaiqi Coal Mine at the county regiment level in his twenties and less than thirty years old. He stood out among the cadres of the government. There is definitely a reason. It cannot be It all comes down to his family and luck.
This time, the train was delayed, so Yu Yan waited until 11 a.m. to pick up Hu Bo and his party. They had lunch at Antai and rushed back to Taocheng in the afternoon. Hu Bo meant not to alarm Taocheng County for the time being. Leaders, first go to Beiluan District to investigate the situation on the spot. Once you have a general understanding, you can decide whether to meet with the leaders of Taocheng County after discussion. If Beiluan District is not suitable for joint development, Hu Bo plans to go back directly. Okay, there's no need to make things up and down.
There was no precedent for this action, and it was something he and Yu Yan had planned in private.
Yu Yan completely agrees with this opinion.
Hu Bo rested for one night in Beiluan District, and early the next morning, he took his entourage, accompanied by Yu Yan, into the ravines of Beiluan District. The peak they were on was the one that had been discovered. It is a vein with the richest coal resources in Beiluan District.
Regarding the results of the geological survey team's survey, Hu Bo had no doubts that Yu Yan could not lie about such a matter. His on-site survey was mainly to estimate the funds required to invest in a new coal mine here and the difficulty of opening the mine. Spend.
As soon as he climbed the mountain and looked around, Hu Bo shook his head repeatedly.
Yu Yan smiled and asked: "Mr. Hu, what do you mean by difficult conditions?"
Hu Bo said: "Road traffic conditions."
When they entered the mountains, the car could only park in a village several kilometers away, and then they walked up to the mountains and looked around. They were all winding field paths, and there was not even a dirt road in sight. The expenditure on road construction alone was not enough. number.
Kaiqi Coal Mine wants to solve the employment problem of workers' children, but the financial situation of the mine is even worse. I'm afraid it will be difficult to come up with such a large sum of money to invest in other places. If the traffic conditions in Beiluan were slightly better, it would barely be possible. With Lu Ketong, the financial pressure will not be so great.
Yu Yan laughed: "Mr. Hu, to tell you the truth, the reason why I want to invite large state-owned mines from outside to mine in Beiluan is mainly based on two considerations. First, coal resources are owned by the whole people. I don’t want all the huge profits from resource mining to fall into private pockets. Secondly, I want to use the strong strength of state-owned large mines to build part of our roads in Beiluan. If our roads are already open, haha , I’m afraid I won’t seek cooperation. I’ll mine it myself.”
Hu Bo had dealt with Yu Yan once and knew that he also had a very pragmatic character. He was not surprised that Yu Yan was so straightforward. He smiled and replied: "Secretary Yu seems to have a lot of knowledge about the coal market." Faith.”
The current situation of coal mines and coal markets across the country is not optimistic. Basically, there are large areas of losses and few profits. In order to solve this problem, many places are trying to introduce private capital into the coal industry to get out of the predicament. In From what Yu Yan said, it seems that this coal mine is really a gold mine and will definitely make money.
Hu Bo remembered clearly that when he met with Yu Yan, he discussed the current situation of the national coal market.
Loss!
Massive losses!
"Director Hu, the difficulty is only temporary. The key reason why the coal market is sluggish is the country's policy. In order to stimulate the development of the processing industry and other industries and commerce, the country's coal and electricity prices have been kept very low. In one or two industries, losses to promote the development of the entire market economy. This strategy cannot be said to be wrong. In certain specific periods, it is necessary to do this. Just like the industrial and agricultural scissors policy that our country has implemented for decades, it is also to support With the development of national industry, our industrial base was very poor and the foundation was too weak. In the international environment at that time, it was difficult to get help from the outside world, so we could only use this method to adjust. It is the same now. But after all, doing so is If it goes against the laws of the market, it can only be used as a temporary adjustment method, and it will definitely not work in the long run. The energy industry will sooner or later become a pillar industry of the country and many resource-rich provinces. It is not feasible to keep coal prices artificially low for a long time. Just in the next ten years. Inside, the coal industry must turn around. We cannot sell resources at low prices just because of temporary difficulties, otherwise the losses will be huge."
