Poor people have their own hateful qualities. Just as we cannot simply evaluate the cadre Guan Tianming, we cannot simply evaluate the negative attitude of the Huilong Town Government in attracting investment.
General Mao and his party were very surprised by the indifference of the local government and could not understand the local government's reaction at all.
But to him, these are not important.
When doing business, you only consider whether you can make money. The problem is that if the local government is not active, the policies and business environment will have to be reconsidered.
However, these were not within the scope of General Mao's consideration, so this inspection was different from previous ones.
Yao Yuan took President Mao and his entourage to a restaurant outside for lunch, and when he was about to go out for inspection, Deputy Mayor Zheng Hongyu came over, quietly pulled Yao Yuan aside, and whispered, "Xiao Yao, why are you arguing with Mayor Guan?"
Get up, you shouldn’t be responsible for such a big thing.”
"Mayor Zheng, don't you think it's funny that more than 80,000 people in Huilong Town are struggling below the food and clothing line, and we are still discussing to keep the title of a national-level poverty-stricken town?" Yao Yuan said unceremoniously.
Zheng Hongyu shook her head helplessly, "It's not that we don't want to improve the economy. It's true that Huilong Town doesn't have the conditions and doesn't even have a better road. How can we attract investment? It's not that we haven't worked hard before. We have come one after another.
Over the years, no company has been willing to invest in us. It’s really scary to have to entertain people once in the town.”
Yao Yuan really didn't want to argue on this issue anymore. He said, "Mayor Zheng, I have already told Mayor Guan that if we cannot keep several companies this time, I will take the initiative to apply for transfer. I am very grateful to Huilong Town."
The town government is extremely disappointed.”
Waving his hand, Yao Yuan greeted the merchants to get in the car and rush to the scheduled inspection location.
Zheng Hongyu stared blankly at the fleet of cars going away, and suddenly thought of a question - how did Yao Yuan contact these seemingly powerful business owners?
Yao Yuan was completely disappointed with Guan Tianming and the insensitivity of the cadres in the Huilong Town Government. He was heartbroken and mentally prepared for the Dongfeng Group to fully enter the market, which was related to the poverty alleviation of more than 80,000 people.
The first battle in politics must not be failed.
Looking at Wang Yu who was following him, Yao Yuan said, "Director Wang, if you follow me, you are standing on the opposite side of Mayor Guan, which will have an impact on your future work."
Wang Yu smiled nonchalantly and said, "I am just the director of the Women's Federation. I have also figured it out. If this continues, in twenty years I will die here in a muddle like them. I don't want that."
After a pause, Wang Yu glanced at the business owners who were pointing and discussing the mountainous area in front of them, and said, "Assistant Yao, to be honest, I wasn't optimistic when you were going to do these things at the beginning. Huilong
The conditions in the town are so bad. I never thought you could attract the Spring Breeze Fund to donate such a large school and donate so much money."
"In the past, I was determined to be transferred to the county. It would be uncomfortable to stay here for one more day. Now I think about it, if I can achieve something in a difficult environment, it is not an achievement. To put it bluntly, as a party member and cadre,
We have the responsibility and obligation to benefit the people of one place."
With a wry smile, Wang Yu said, "Assistant Yao, to be honest, when I first started working, I was full of confidence and took the world as my responsibility. I don't know when I became like this."
Yao Yuan was surprised. He didn't expect Wang Yu, who often showed off and was not very good in others' eyes, to say such a thing.
Nodding slowly, Yao Yuan said nothing, but lightly patted Wang Yu on the shoulder, turned around and walked towards Mr. Mao.
Wang Yu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt a wave of heat in his body.
Several bosses followed Chairman Mao's lead and were discussing the possibility of contracting to grow tea in mountainous areas.
When Yao Yuan came over, Mr. Mao was very polite and said, "Assistant Yao, the environment here is very suitable for growing tea. If I contract 10,000 acres, I don't know what policies the town can provide."
"As for attracting investment, the city and county have policies. Huilong Town fully supports it and provides preferential treatment in land prices. In the long run, if you decide to invest in Huilong Town, I hope each of you can contribute some money.
, used to build roads leading to national highways." Yao Yuan said with a smile.
Talking about these, he unknowingly switched to the identity of the chairman of the board of directors of Dongfeng Group, and his every move showed the demeanor of a business tycoon.
Mr. Mao and others were surprised that Yao Yuan had the confidence to invest even if he wanted to invest.
Yao Yuan pointed to the mountainous land in front of him, which was no less than 100,000 acres, and said, "This mountainous land is the largest in Huilong Town. I asked experts to study it. The climate and environment here are very suitable for growing tea, and the quality of the tea produced is very good."
Lin Xiaohu brought a bag and handed it to Yao Yuan.
Yao Yuan opened it and found a bag of tea. He pinched out a little and said, "This is green tea grown by local people. Testing by professional institutions shows that the quality is of high quality."
Several tea industry bosses pinched a little bit and looked at it, smelled it, crushed it and looked at it, and some even chewed it. They were very professional.
They all nodded.
President Mao said, "It's not bad."
He changed the subject and said, "Assistant Yao, the investment period for growing tea is long and the initial investment is huge. Let's not talk about whether it is reasonable for our company to spend money to build roads. Even if it is reasonable, we don't have that much money."
"So every family contributes a little. The land price for the first five years can even be waived. In fact, the rent is used to build roads." Yao Yuan said with a smile.
Jin Jiu, the owner of Jinzun Tea Company, said, "Assistant Yao, I have been to many places, and I have never heard of companies paying for road construction on their own. It is the local government that has completed the infrastructure construction, and it is always like this when our company enters the market.
Did it.”
"Mr. Jin, please be patient."
Yao Yuan had already prepared and signaled several tea industry bosses not to worry.
Lin Xiaohu stood aside with a smile and said nothing, knowing that Yao Yuan was going to teach on the spot.
Yao Yuan asked with a smile, "Mr. Mao, Mr. Jin, you guys, you are in the tea industry, producing tea and selling tea. Have you ever thought about making derivative products?"
"Assistant Yao, please continue," said Mr. Mao.
Yao Yuan smiled and said, "Tea drinks."
He introduced the green tea beverages of later generations, and then took out a report and said, "This is the formula I asked the research institute to research, and I asked the mineral water company to trial-produce samples, and they basically met the requirements. Everyone is making tea.
If you are in the industry, I suggest that you invest in setting up a beverage company that specializes in fast-moving consumer tea beverages. This formula can be given to you for free."
Mr. Mao took the report and read it carefully. He was not a professional and could not understand it, but he could tell that it was a very well-researched research report. The issuing organization was national-level. Obviously, there was no doubt about its authenticity.
Suddenly, Boss Mao, Boss Jin and other bosses didn’t know how to deal with it.
This Assistant Yao is too powerful. What kind of inspection is this? He just calls you here and assigns tasks.
What everyone doesn't understand is Chairman Mao's attitude. If it were other people in other places, Chairman Mao would have left long ago. But this time, not only did Chairman Mao not leave, but he was very active.
Yao Yuan said, "The road from the town to the national highway is about 15 kilometers. The road from the town to here passes through nearby villages, which is about 20 kilometers. The cost of the two-way four-lane secondary road is about 800,000 per kilometer.
The total cost is less than 30 million. With the strength of you guys, you can definitely do it."
Jin Jiu couldn't help it anymore and said angrily, "Assistant Yao, this is 30 million yuan, not 3,000 yuan. To attract investment and attract investment, we haven't even built a factory yet. You ask us to collect 30 million yuan first."
You are building roads, there is no such thing in the world, it is simply outrageous."
The other two bosses simply turned away, unwilling to look at Yao Yuan.
Mr. Mao looked a little embarrassed. He had organized the people and he was responsible. Although everyone didn't say it, they were definitely dissatisfied in their hearts.
In everyone's opinion, President Mao would flatly reject the local government's conditions even if he did not leave in a hurry. Unexpectedly, President Mao actually said, "Assistant Yao, as far as I know, the cost per kilometer of secondary roads is
Five hundred thousand is about the same, and eight hundred thousand is almost enough to build a first-class highway."
After a pause, he said, "In Huilong Town, only the road in front of the town hall is a cement road. Beyond this area, it is all dirt roads. Build a two-way four-lane secondary road to connect the national highway, the town and this road.
I don’t think it’s necessary to connect the twelve villages.”
Jin Jiu looked at Mr. Mao in surprise, very confused.
At this time, Yao Yuan pointed to the BMW off-road vehicle not far behind him and motioned for the bosses to come over.
The bosses' limousines were parked in the nearest village, and they all took the BMW off-road vehicles arranged by Yao Yuan to enter the mountain. Vehicles with low chassis and non-four-wheel drive mode could not enter the mountain.
When several bosses followed, Lin Xiaohu had already taken out a traffic map of Xinfeng County and laid it on the hood.
There is no map of Huilong Town. The smallest unit is Xinfeng County, so we will make do with it.
Yao Yuan took the pencil handed over by Lin Xiaohu and said while drawing lines, "Mr. Mao, everyone, come and see, the location of the 100,000 acres of mountain land is here, which is where we are now. You want to build a 10,000 acres of tea plantation here.
, transportation is the primary issue when building a factory. From here to the national highway, this is the shortest distance."
He changed the topic, "However, we have to consider the issue of lifting the people of the town out of poverty. This road cannot be built straight. The result of comprehensive consideration is that after connecting these twelve villages, pass through the town and then follow the old road and
It is connected to the national highway. The designed driving speed is 40-80 kilometers per hour. It only takes 30 minutes to get to the national highway from here. This is the most suitable route."
This is 1995, not 2015, and the cost of highway construction is much lower. Of course, the purchasing power of one million now is far from comparable to that of one million twenty years later.
Some analysts believe that the purchasing power of US$100 million in the 1990s is equivalent to more than US$3 billion in 2018, and the purchasing power of RMB100 million in the 1990s is equivalent to RMB10 billion in 2018.
Although very general, it reflects the monetary value of two eras twenty years apart.
This involves inflation, currency devaluation, price levels, labor costs and many other factors.
Therefore, the construction cost of 500,000 yuan per kilometer of secondary highways mentioned by Chairman Mao is the current common standard. The construction cost of many highways constructed by Shenzhen Development and Guangdong Provincial Government through financing is only 8 million yuan per kilometer. Some of them cost only 8 million yuan per kilometer.
The highest price on this road section is 15 million.
After 2015, the starting price for building a kilometer of expressway is 50 million. In prosperous cities and high mountains, it is normal to cost one or two hundred million per kilometer. Chongqing once set a record - the cost per kilometer exceeded one billion.
Due to terrain conditions, highways are almost always built in the air, and construction costs increase dramatically.
Yao Yuan explained, "Mr. Mao, you are talking about the cost in plain areas. The Yinguan area is mostly mountainous, and Huilong Town is all mountainous. Three highway bridges need to be built for the 35 kilometers of secondary roads, and the cost is 80 per kilometer."
Everything is needed."
Mr. Mao was stunned for a moment. He subconsciously looked at his surroundings, which were difficult to walk, and nodded in approval.
Jin Jiu suddenly asked, "Assistant Yao, you are the assistant to the mayor. When we arrived today, neither the town party secretary nor the mayor came forward. Can you represent Huilong Town?"
Yao Yuan nodded firmly, "I can represent Huilong Town. I am talking to you on behalf of Huilong Town now. This road has actually been planned by the town for many years, and some changes have been made in response to the current situation."
The 100,000 acres of mountainous land here is indeed a very suitable place for growing tea. Considering that this is a poor area and the labor costs are lower, even lower than Ningyu City, it is beneficial to these four tea industry bosses.
Attractive.
However, spending 30 million to build roads first is a bit funny.
Only a fool would invest in building a factory here, Jin Jiu thought to himself.
Jin Jiu felt that it was a waste of time to continue talking like this, so he said to Mr. Mao, "Mr. Mao, I have to go to Guangdong City. I will not participate in the following inspection. We will meet again when we return to Ningyu. I will treat you to a drink."
After saying that, he was about to leave.
"Lao Jin." Mr. Mao quickly stopped Jin Jiu and said, "In the past two days, I think the tea drink mentioned by Assistant Yao is a very good idea. You know Jianlibao, it is actually a drink. It is very popular.
It would be difficult for us to develop just by selling tea."
It's very straightforward.
Jin Jiu was stunned for a moment. What he couldn't understand was Mr. Mao's attitude. After thinking about it, he still didn't want to offend Mr. Mao, so he stayed without saying anything.
Yao Yuan said with a smile, "You are in the tea industry, and several others who want to invest in tourism are going to Miao Village to inspect the Miao Village with the experts hired by our town. If you think it is better to spend 30 million yuan to build roads all at once,
If there are any difficulties, you can discuss it with them. If they engage in tourism, transportation is the first priority and can be comprehensively arranged in conjunction with tourist roads."
"Assistant Yao, they are just here for inspection. They are not sure whether they will invest. The same goes for us," said Mr. Mao.
Yao Yuan said with confidence, "They will invest. The ethnic minority culture and customs in Huilong Town are quite rich, and it is only a hundred kilometers away from the provincial capital. As long as the transportation facilities can keep up and the tourism resources here are developed, then
It’s just a cornucopia.”
"Not necessarily, Assistant Yao, I think we should be more cautious. Let's think about it carefully. This is not a matter of hundreds of thousands or millions." Mr. Mao said.
Yao Yuan said calmly, "Yes, don't be in a hurry. Now that you're here, let's walk around and get to know it more deeply. This will solve the traffic bottleneck. There are treasures that can be unearthed everywhere in Huilong Town."
With that said, he motioned for everyone to get on the bus and continue to the next point.
This is not an investment inspection, but a mission. The bosses feel this way more and more strongly.
