"I heard that the government will take Japanese businessmen up the mountain today. If the bridge is demolished, they will not be able to get in." Zhao Yongli pointed to the single-plank bridge, and then looked at the villagers who were united, with a complicated expression.
Liu Jun frowned, feeling that demolishing bridges to prevent foreign businessmen from entering the village was not an option, so he said, "Old man, confronting the government like this is not an option, is it?"
Zhao Yongli coughed twice and said, "I don't care. Anyway, this mountain is going to be leased to you, Arjun. The villagers will never allow it to be leased to foreign businessmen, let alone Japanese businessmen."
"Well, old man, we have something to discuss. The government serves the people, so we should be able to talk about it." Liu Jun felt bad. Zhao Yongli insisted on leasing the mountains and forests to him. This situation will definitely offend the Japanese who want to contract the mountains and forests to him.
From this point of view, businessmen and local officials are afraid that the investment in tourism projects in Tujia mountain villages will not go smoothly and the prospects are worrying.
Zhao Yongli shook his head: "Ajun, there's no need to talk. Not to mention that the conditions of the Japanese are very strict, and the villagers are not willing to deal with the Japanese. Besides, this land has already signed an agreement with you.
If a girl doesn't marry a second husband, how can she subcontract to a Japanese?"
Liu Jundao: "What you said makes sense, uncle. It's just that attracting investment is now the government's top priority. Uncle, you and the villagers have hatred for the Japanese, but they can't resist the people's government of our country. No, I am also an investor, so I can
The only thing we talked about with the local government is, I wonder if the agreement signed by your village and me on this mountain forest is valid? Does the collective of this mountain village have the right to lease it? "
Zhao Yongli nodded affirmatively: "This piece of Tujia Mountain is village collective land. The village committee has the right to rent it out, but of course it has no right to sell it. But people from the Qingfeng Town Government said that although the village committee has the right to rent out collective mountain land, it does not have the right to develop tourism.
The project still needs to be approved by the local government. There are clear opinions from above that in order to revitalize the economy, foreign investment must be introduced. They say that the forest lease agreement that our village previously signed with you is invalid and that it has not been registered with the government. Are you angry?"
"It's quite irritating, and quite bluffing. It's obvious that someone above wants to designate this tourism project to Japanese businessmen. Invigorating the local economy can attract investment, but there is no hard and fast rule that only foreign investment must be introduced. This
There is something in it.”
"That's right, I don't care anyway, so I will accept the principle and sign a land lease agreement with you first, and this mountain will be reserved for you to use. No one except you, Ajun, can even think of taking advantage of this mountain."
While Liu Jun and Zhao Yongli were talking, four strong young men, Zhongyong Renyi and Zhongyong Renyi, who had just carried the tobacco, wine, rice oil and other food brought by Liu Jun into the village, returned and asked the old village chief Zhao Yongli if he should demolish the bridge now.
Liu Jun said to Zhao Yong: "Old man, the bridge really does not need to be demolished. Although demolishing the bridge will block the incoming people, it will also cut off the villagers' escape route, which is not advisable. Am I not here now? I am here to negotiate with local officials and Japanese businessmen.
If the talks don’t work out, it’s not too late to break it up.”
Zhao Yongli sighed: "Okay, let's talk if we can. Except for you, our Tujia Mountain villagers will not agree to contract the forest to anyone else."
Liu Jun looked around and said: "Okay, old man, you can ask the villagers to evacuate. We are all a lot older. Don't be tired. Besides, it's not good to resist openly like this. I'm right here."
Wait for them to come by the bridge."
"Folks, you go home first. Take this guy with you. If there is an emergency, I will play the gong. We can rest assured that Ajun is here." Zhao Yongli's wrinkled face showed a slight smile.
, leaving behind four strong young men who were loyal, brave, benevolent and righteous, all the other villagers returned to the mountain.
As soon as the villagers left, Liu Jun's tense heart relaxed. The people in the mountains are very barbaric and don't know the law. It can be seen from the reckless actions of Zhao Yongli and the villagers that he really wants to fight against the state's violent machine. Zhao Yongli gathered the crowd to fight.
He was sentenced to ten to eight years for obstructing official law enforcement, interfering with investment promotion, etc. Zhao Yongli will probably spend his later years in prison.
Liu Jun urged Zhao Yongli not to demolish the bridge and to persuade the villagers to go home. These two things inadvertently saved many villagers. If Liu Jun had not arrived, Zhao Yongli and a few people who could speak to the village leaders would have been arrested.
Got up.
Relevant officials of the Qingfeng County Government have received accurate information. Zhao Yongli blatantly incited villagers to obstruct the government's investment promotion, and brought fighting tools to fight government workers. The Qingfeng County Party Committee and County Government attached great importance to it. County Party Committee Secretary Mo Yunzhi urgently convened the County Party Committee Standing Committee
The meeting will deploy response measures. Qingfeng Town Party Committee Secretary Zhao Xu and others attended the County Party Committee Standing Committee.
The villagers did not realize how serious the consequences of resisting the government would be. Naturally, Liu Jun had no way of knowing about the emergency meeting of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee in Qingfeng County. After seeing the villagers leave, Liu Jun had time to talk to Zhao Yongli for a few common words.
.
Liu Jun asked Mengting to take out the message note from Zhao Xiaohu, handed it to Zhao Yongli, and said: "Old man, I forgot to tell you something. Xiaohuzi is learning animal training from a friend who works in the zoo, and his culture has also improved.
Not missing, you see, after only a few months, I can write you a letter, and the handwriting is also good. He asked me to bring you a message, saying that he must take care of his health, and he will come home to see you during the Chinese New Year.
."
Zhao Yongli unfolded the message from his grandson Zhao Xiaohu, looked at it, tears of joy shed from the corners of his eyes, and smiled: "Ajun, I knew that little tiger would be successful if he followed you."
Liu Jundao: "Huzi is really smart, hard-working, and very courageous. You don't know that Huzi has only been in the zoo for a few days. Lions and tigers have been tamed by Huzi so much that they wag their tails all day long to please him.
Where is he?"
"Haha, don't I know? Huzi has been very strong since he was a child, he likes hunting, and he is well-behaved. Now that I can see Ajun in the provincial capital, I feel relieved." Zhao Yongli saw the letter as if he were seeing a person.
Zhao Xiaohu followed Liu Jun, and he was relieved.
"Old man, let's sit in the car and have a chat. What's going on when a Japanese businessman comes to Tujia Mountain Village to invest in tourism? How much money is the Japanese businessman going to invest? What conditions are he offering? Tell me, Yue Xiangxi
The better.”
Liu Jun let Zhao Yongli into the back seat of the Land Rover and asked Yue Sheng to take out his notebook to record. He needed to know the details of the Japanese businessman who wanted to snatch the Tujia Mountain Village tourism project from him. He felt that coming to Tujia Mountain Village was like
In a business war, a war with Japanese businessmen, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win the battle.
Although Liu Jun has not met Japanese businessmen yet, he has already smelled the smoke of the business war. He must understand the ins and outs of Japanese businessmen and cannot invest in the dark.
…
More than ten or twenty kilometers away from Tujia Mountain, in the courtyard of the Qingfeng County Party Committee, there is a two-story brick and wood structure of the County Party Committee Xiaohong Building built in the 1980s. The Xiaohong Building is holding an emergency meeting with the county magistrate, deputy county magistrate, disciplinary inspection secretary,
Eleven members of the County Party Committee Standing Committee, including the Director of the National People's Congress, Chairman of the CPPCC Committee, Organization Minister, and Propaganda Minister, attended the meeting, as well as the County Public Security Director, Armed Forces Minister, Urban Management Director, Investment Promotion Director, Qingfeng Town Party Committee Secretary and other relevant officials.
Mo Yunzhi, secretary of the county party committee with slicked back hair and sharp eyes, sat at one end of the oval conference table with a serious look on his face. After briefly briefing Tujiashan Village Chief Zhao Yongli on obstructing investment promotion and inciting villagers to gather and cause trouble, he suddenly
He slapped the table with a sharp voice.
"Comrades, it has been said since ancient times that unruly people come out of poor mountains and poor waters. This is true. The villagers of Tujiashan openly resisted the government and obstructed investment promotion. This is extremely bad in nature and must be severely punished. Please express your opinions on this matter."
