Hearing everyone gloating about Huacheng, Chen Taizhong couldn't feel relaxed.
To the people of Beichong, the people of Huacheng are very annoying, but... the tobacco leaves in Huacheng are not annoying. Without the supply of raw materials, the production of the cigarette factory will be affected.
Seeing the young district chief squatting there in a daze, a wretched man in his early thirties came next to him. He bared his yellow teeth and asked, "District Chief Chen, are you worried that the tobacco leaves from Huacheng will not be able to get through? I have a solution."
"Just tell me if you have a solution," the old man next to him scolded him impatiently.
"That's not..." The wretched man laughed dryly, rubbed his hands, and swallowed, "It's popular these days to sell ideas for money. District Chief Chen, this and that..."
"You deserve a beating!" The man with the child glared and pretended to beat him up. "You want the money to go to District Chief Chen? I say, we men in Beichong should be conscientious in doing things. There is no such thing as District Chief Chen."
Sir, who can collect your tobacco leaves fairly?"
"It's true, you are too ignorant," the people next to him agreed.
"Did I say I wanted money?" The wretched man glared and glanced at everyone with dissatisfaction, "I just want to ask District Chief Chen to do something, it's not a big deal."
"Okay, I promise you," Chen Taizhong nodded without thinking, "As long as what you say is reasonable, you can make a reasonable request. You won't be able to trust me, right?"
"How can that be possible?" The wretched man rubbed his hands with a dry laugh, "Even if I can't trust my old man, I can still trust you... Then let's take a step to talk?"
"No," the old smoking man stretched out his hand and stopped the other party, "Don't bully District Chief Chen to talk about his credibility. Tell him what you want to ask the District Chief first, so that you don't open your mouth like a lion and ruin the lives of our Beichong men.
reputation."
"There's nothing I can't say, I just build a kang cigarette," the wretched man also got angry. "If you want to borrow 20,000 yuan, you must have a cadre guarantee... I'll ask District Chief Chen to guarantee it. This is not a big deal.
Bar?"
"It turned out to be a cigarette kang," everyone lost interest when they heard it. Who among the tobacco sellers doesn't know about cigarette kang?
This tobacco kang is called a kang, but it is not really a kang. Or it is more appropriately called a kiln. It is used to bake tobacco leaves. After the green tobacco leaves are tied, they are sent to the kang to be smoked with fire, and then come out.
It’s just the yellow tobacco leaves.
For example, Tang Liping originally wanted to buy a flue-cured tobacco machine to process tobacco leaves. This would replace the role of the tobacco kang, but machine-processed tobacco is often not as effective as the traditional method.
There are many mountains in Beichong, and many kangs are built against the mountains. They are not much different from cave dwellings. But if you want to build them on flat land, you have to build such a thing with earth and rocks. The shape is roughly similar to a bunker. Except for a few
The opening was sealed tightly.
Tobacco farmers hand over tobacco leaves, which are all baked, and the harvest season of tobacco leaves is fixed, and the tobacco kang is only busy for a while, so for tobacco farmers, it is necessary to have their own tobacco kang, or to have a tobacco kang with a certain family.
Sharing a tobacco kang means you don’t have to worry about curing tobacco leaves.
If you are planting tobacco leaves and there are no tobacco beds around, it will be miserable. You have to go to the neighboring village to negotiate a reservation. If you can't negotiate a good time, the harvest will be affected. So as long as you grow tobacco leaves, everyone is eager to have it.
Your own tobacco kang - you can roast your own tobacco leaves at will, and you can get some money by helping others kang cigarettes.
"Okay, I guarantee you," Chen Taizhong nodded without saying anything. Not to mention it was just a guarantee. It was a good idea. It's not harder to give you a cigarette kang than to give you a cigarette. "Then put it in my
Tell us in detail in the car?"
This guy wants to talk to me quietly. There must be some content that is not convenient for others to know. Well, I can understand it.
"You agreed, then it doesn't matter where you say it," the wretched man laughed, and extended his two fingers to shake, "Can you give me a cigarette? I've always wanted to see it, the special cigarettes are for us.
Beichongyan is so strong."
As soon as these words were spoken, countless pairs of eyes looked over. There were all tobacco farmers here. There were not many laymen who could comment on the quality of cut tobacco. However, District Chief Chen’s cigarettes were also said to be amazing in Beichong. Who wouldn’t want to start?
Open your eyes?
"It's easy to say, everyone here has one." District Chief Chen glanced around and found that there were at least fifty or sixty people surrounding him, so he waved his hand to Liao Dabao, "Xiao Liao, take a cigarette from the trunk and let everyone have a try.
"
Liao Dabao took out four or five boxes of cigarettes, and each person scattered one cigarette. Some people took it and smoked it, while others carefully put it away. Others surrounded Director Liao and asked him to twist two cigarettes and give some shredded tobacco to everyone.
Make an appraisal.
There are even more curious people who have twisted out a little bit of tobacco from the cigarettes in their hands, carefully identifying and tasting them. Everyone has different ideas, and the scene is extremely lively.
However, after all, someone remembered the theme. The old smoking man held the panda cigarette to his ear and grabbed the wretched man. "I said, District Chief Chen promised to guarantee it, and you also took the cigarette. It's your fault."
Got an idea?"
"That's right, I have to say it." The middle-aged man confiscated the cigarette his child was given and continued talking, "What you said is inappropriate, and everyone really doesn't agree."
"I've already said it," the wretched man winked at Chen Taizhong with a smile. His expression was as wretched as possible, but he had to act like he was understanding. "District Chief Chen already knows.
Right, District Chief Chen?"
"Yeah," Chen Taizhong nodded slowly. This guy was obviously testing him. He couldn't let others underestimate him. Besides, he also had some guesses, but he still needed some time to sort out his thoughts.
"What on earth is that idea?" the old man asked curiously.
"Yankang," Chen Taizhong spat out two words lightly. He intuitively realized that the problem lies in these two words - at least it is an extension of these two words, but he has not yet figured out the specific operation.
, but you have to speak up, lest others underestimate the IQ of government cadres.
"Yan Kang... aren't we talking about Huacheng's tobacco leaves?" The middle-aged man blinked, indicating that he could not understand.
"Ask him," Chen Taizhong raised his chin at the wretched man, looking like "I'm too lazy to explain."
"I admire you!" The wretched man clapped his hands, extended his thumb to District Chief Chen, and said with a sneer, "I always thought I was smart. District Chief Chen, you... are worthy of being a district chief. The brains of a cadre are enough."
.”
"You're welcome. Talents are among the people. You have a good idea." District Chief Chen smiled mysteriously. Now he has analyzed the clues. So this sentence is not an empty compliment - the guy in front of him is really smart.
.
"Nima, if you don't say anything, believe it or not, I'll beat you up?" The middle-aged man got angry and reached out to arrest someone. People from Beichong have really hot tempers, and they would start to attack after just two sentences.
"Look at your IQ." The wretched man ducked and let his hand pass, and sneered disdainfully, "I just can't compare with District Chief Chen. Let's build more cigarette kangs on the border of Huacheng. Huacheng
Aren’t the tobacco leaves coming here?”
"Buy more cigarette kangs?" The old man held the cigarette rod in his mouth and pondered for a moment before speaking, "It's not like there are no cigarette kangs in this flower city. Why do people have to come here?"
"Old man, you are so confused," the wretched man pointed at him and said with a look of disdain, "The green leaves they brought here are for processing, and there is no reason to stop the tobacco... The leaves are shipped here. Can they be shipped back?
It’s not something that tobacco can control.”
"Damn it, brother, you have such a good idea." When the middle-aged man heard this, he reached out and slapped the other person on the shoulder. Beichong men are like this, they fall out quickly and reconcile quickly. "At first glance, you are making a fuss.
.admire!"
Chen Taizhong has completely figured out his thinking at this moment. This idea is really good. Beichong does not talk about tobacco leaves or anything, but directly builds cigarette kangs. People from Huacheng come to kang cigarettes, and the good tobacco leaves can be sold on the spot. No one can say
What.
As for why Huacheng people don’t smoke in the local kang, do you care if they are willing to go to other places to smoke? Do you want to forcefully stay in the local kang? It’s not possible. You have to pay for the cost of kang cigarettes, tobacco - this cost is really
It's not a big deal. You have to pay for using someone else's cigarette kang, and you also have to spend money to buy coal and firewood.
The reason for the decline of Beichong tobacco is that one is that the purchase of high-grade tobacco has hurt the hearts of tobacco farmers, and the other is that the harvest is too cheap. No one talks about fertilizers or the like, just one sentence - even the firewood for kang cigarettes is not enough.
If it’s not enough, what else should we plant?
Otherwise, Chen Taizhong lamented that great talents are among the people. This is indeed the case. The suggestion of the wretched man cannot be said to be very original, but it is the most effective, especially since it is an upright conspiracy. After it is revealed, the people of Huacheng cannot have a temper.
"The district will support everyone in building cigarette kangs," the old man said happily. As long as he is a tobacco farmer, who doesn't want to have his own cigarette kang? It is a bit luxurious for one family to build one, but if seven or eight families build one together, it will be enough.
No need to look at other people's faces.
"Then it's a loan, so I didn't dare to say it in front of you just now," the wretched man said proudly. He was in case his colleagues swarmed him and affected him. "District Chief Chen agreed to give me a guarantee. I
I’m not afraid that you will hear me.”
"Nah... you are so insidious," the middle-aged man patted his shoulder again, with extra force.
"Tsk, I just realized... this money is really not worth spending," Chen Taizhong sighed, and then he threw 15 million at the ramie factory. He came to the cigarette factory to observe the public sentiment, and then he had to spend money again.
"If we don't have money, we won't accept them," the old man muttered. "We'll accept those from Beichong first, and then we'll accept those from other places when we run out of tobacco leaves. Anyway, people in Huacheng are used to hoarding things... Just sell them at a good price.
"
"Have I, the Huacheng people, provoked you?" Three or four young people in the distance spoke up. Two of them looked like gangsters at first glance. Those who dare to complain about the Huacheng people in Beichong must not be ordinary people if they are not intelligent enough.
.
One of the gangsters smiled at Chen Taizhong and said, "District Chief Chen, your purchase here is fair, so we're here, and we don't mean to offend the folks in Beichong. In fact, we have to figure it out ourselves, and let outsiders see... not yet
Are they all from Yangzhou?"
"No one said that when you Huacheng people bullied the Beichong people," someone said with a sneer, and then seven or eight people gathered around him.
Chapter 3837 Not enough money (Part 2)
"Okay, business is business, how can there be so much to say?" Chen Taizhong waved his hand and said with a smile, "I think you guys are quite brave. Do you dare to set up a stall in Huacheng and help Beichong collect tobacco leaves?"
"As long as you give us a name, that's no problem," the gangster who spoke nodded without hesitation, "You don't have to worry about whether we make more or less, just buy Beichong at a normal price. As long as others come to your door,
You bear witness."
"I can promise you this," Chen Taizhong nodded, "but I will not explicitly authorize it, and... you'd better not violate your conscience, otherwise, you know the consequences."
This is definitely an act of wandering in a gray area, but the world is not black and white. In fact, District Chief Chen said it tactfully - I will not allow you to use my name to force others to buy.
For sale, it's just that you are helping Beichong. If someone troubles you, I can protect you.
In fact, in Chen Taizhong's view, there is no need for him to help safeguard the rights and interests of people outside Beichong, but if Beichong wants to develop, he must also worry about his reputation - Beichong people hire gangsters to buy and sell at low prices.
Purchasing tobacco leaves has a really bad reputation.
But it won't work if he doesn't express his position. The shortage of raw materials will affect the production of Beichong Cigarette Factory. Tobacco barriers must be broken through the private sector.
"We won't mess around. We can make enough money by making the difference openly," the gangster replied with a wry smile. "We don't have a monopoly on the business. We still have to bear the pressure of tobacco. How can we have the guts to lower the price randomly?"
He also heard the conversation between Beichong people. So after hesitating, he emphasized again, "We will never stop tobacco farmers who want to come to Beichong Kang to smoke. We will only make what we deserve."
"Then this is a gentleman's agreement," Chen Taizhong nodded. He has been emphasizing the system recently, but some practical situations cannot be solved by improving the system. "Xiao Liao, please register their names. There is no need to report them to the cigarette factory.
Ready..."
It was getting late when he came back from the cigarette factory, and at this time Chen Taizhong received another complaint call - the power bureau was shutting down power more and more frequently, and the caller was the district hospital.
Summer is here, and Beichong has been the hardest-hit area by power cuts in the past. However, the district hospital has two lines that can be switched, but what's worse is that both lines were stopped today.
Power cuts are usually forecasted, but one line in the district hospital was forecasted, and one line was a temporary failure. At that time, there was an operation in the district hospital. With the ding alarm, various instruments stopped working, and the shadowless lights
Also destroyed.
Fortunately, there was a generator next to the operating room, and power was supplied again three minutes later. The operation was not very important, otherwise I would have been blinded at that time.
"This... understand it," Chen Taizhong sighed, and could only comfort him, "Our own power plant will be able to generate electricity soon, and then we won't have to look at other people's faces."
Before Wang Ninghu, the previous secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, left, he vowed to ensure Beichong's electricity supply. Kang Xiao'an, the boss of the underground power station, also said the same thing, but now Beichong's electricity supply is still stretched.
However, it must be pointed out that Beichong's electricity consumption has not been reduced much, so the influence of Secretary Wang and Mr. Kang still has a certain effect - you know, Beichong has now built its own power plant.
The Electric Power Bureau has a thorn in its side.
We have received many similar reports recently. Even during the expansion of Beichong Hotel, Ma Yuanyuan also called in a report, requesting the purchase of a generator of no less than 50 kilowatts, preferably 100 kilowatts.
This requirement is not high. Beichong Hotel is based on one hundred rooms. Fifty kilowatts is only five hundred watts per room. At least in Chen Taizhong's view, if he wants to build this hotel, he must first build two hundred watts.
Kilowatt generator.
"The money is getting tighter and tighter." After hanging up the phone, District Chief Chen saw that it was late, turned around and walked towards the small courtyard angrily. Unexpectedly, he bumped into Bai Fengming and Ding Xiaoning - they were just about to
Standing in the small pavilion in the courtyard.
The district government was originally a residence for wealthy merchants. It was well protected after liberation, and there were many halls and pavilions. The two of them were chatting in the pavilion, probably just to keep cool, and there was no other reason. It was just that there were a lot of mosquitoes.
"District Chief, I am discussing with Mr. Ding the construction of our urban district in Beichong," Bai Fengming saw him and immediately stood up to report.
"The recent electricity problem has had a huge impact," Chen Taizhong gave instructions casually. He was not too free to be jealous of Bai Fengming. "You should report it to the Electric Power Bureau... If this continues, we will not agree."
"I've reacted many times," District Chief Bai sighed and replied helplessly.
"What's their attitude?" Chen Taizhong pondered and asked, indicating that he was planning to find trouble.
"Attitude... I definitely can't say yes. I don't want to see us at all." Bai Fengming knew the leader's temper, but the current Electricity Bureau has been very restrained towards Beichong. He didn't want to cause any more accidents. "But it's okay."
They showed me the power dispatch plan and we were treated normally."
"Alas," Chen Taizhong sighed. There is a power shortage across the country now, and there is really nothing we can do about it. He thought about it and asked, "Do you think we should buy a few high-power generators?"
"There is no need to have too many high-power generators," Bai Fengming shook his head. "Three or four are enough to cover the main departments of the party and government. The key is to have a group of small generators. Even if the power supply is sufficient in the future, remote mountain villages and other places will
.It will also come in handy.”
"Another batch," Chen Taizhong gritted his teeth when he heard that. It doesn't matter how many bigger ones he buys, but a batch of...even small ones. How much will it cost? For a while, he was willing to take out farmers' loans to buy this one again.
Already.
But this is just a casual thought. The farmers are much poorer than the district government. How could District Chief Chen pick the farmers' pockets again?
I just spent so much money after wandering around for a long time. Chen Taizhong sighed inwardly, nodded slightly, and walked away without saying anything else.
"District Chief Chen is worried," Bai Fengming saw that the leader was leaving so rudely. He couldn't help but smiled bitterly at Ding Xiaoning and explained that he was not sure about the relationship between the leader and this girl. There was news that Ding always relied on District Chief Chen.
Some people say that Mr. Ding is a member of the Fenghuang Ning family. No matter what the truth is, it would be right to explain more.
"It's just a batch of generators, isn't it?" Ding Xiaoning was happy to pretend to be confused, "It doesn't cost much."
"That's not what you said," Bai Fengming smiled and shook his head. "In addition to key projects, there are also a lot of scattered investments in the district, and the financial pressure is very high. For example, the allocation for greenhouse planting, the investment in mobile greenhouses, and the ramie pressure on funds are also very serious. Again
Including the generator, a small generator may cost tens of thousands of yuan, but if there are two hundred generators, how much will it cost?"
"Are we going to get two hundred units?" Ding Xiaoning felt that this number was too big.
"Why not? There are 180,000 people in Beichong's 16 towns. On average, there are only ten units in each town." Bai Fengming shook his head, "Now we are at the critical point of power shortage. There will still be power shortage next year, even if it is a power plant.
No matter how fast the construction goes, it would be great if one unit can generate electricity by the end of next year and ensure the power supply for the summer after next year."
In the past, Beichong was a backward and lazy urban area, so the electricity gap was not that big. But now there are projects going on everywhere, and electricity has become a huge bottleneck restricting the development of Beichong. In addition, it is the busy farming season, and the two
One hundred generators is really not that much - District Chief Bai is already used to District Chief Chen's generosity.
Chen Taizhong really thought so. He made many calculations and figured out that he must have at least two hundred generators. After returning to the small courtyard, he called Liu Haifang and said, "You and Wang Yuanyuan come over."
The news that Liu Zhutiao is going to be the deputy district mayor is already known to everyone. All he needs to do is hold a meeting in the city to finalize it. There is already news from the district committee, and it will only be a matter of time before Wang Yuanyuan is promoted to director of the planning committee.
Therefore, District Chief Chen didn't mind calling the two of them to his home to discuss matters. The purchase and distribution of generators must be handled by the Planning Committee, and Liu Haifang was not only in charge of the Planning Committee, but more importantly, once she stood up to Meng Zhixin,
If there is a vacancy, he will naturally take over the position of deputy leader of the Beichong District Bidding Leading Group.
Not long after, the two women came together. After understanding what the district chief meant, the two subconsciously exchanged glances, and both saw deep shock in each other's eyes.
For these two people, this is really a big expense. Liu Haifang has always been engaged in a relatively pragmatic job and has never mastered such a large procurement project. This is especially true for Wang Yuanyuan. A few months ago, she was just a
The role of a waiter.
"Why, do you think the burden is a bit heavy?" District Chief Chen looked at the two of them with a half-smile.
"I still haven't had any similar experience," Liu Haifang was the first to react. She smiled and looked at Wang Yuanyuan, "I will prepare carefully with Director Wang and report to you in time. Please also
Please give me your instructions."
"This is not just a matter of procurement. The research on the generator market and the following needs must be collected as soon as possible. Time is tight and the task is heavy," District Chief Chen nodded and gave instructions immediately.
"You also need to come up with a reasonable plan on how to distribute the goods after purchasing them. Who has more and who has less is a question... You can't just buy it and give it away. People may not cherish things that are too easy to obtain."
"I think the towns and bureaus that benefit must also contribute some money," Liu Haifang's reaction was quick.
However, District Chief Chen's cell phone rang the next moment, interrupting her. Chen Taizhong looked at the phone number, answered it and laughed dryly, "Hello, Secretary Li, please give me instructions..."
