Chapter 30: Approval of funds and generous spending
The packaging of these two boxes of cigarettes is very ordinary. There is nothing noble about it. It cannot even compare with Zhonghua. The red packaging of Zhonghua is very eye-catching and looks noble.
But compared to panda cigarettes, China's class image is naturally lower. Although panda cigarettes can be bought now, they are just ordinary panda cigarettes in orange packages.
The packaging of these two boxes of cigarettes is made of transparent paper with a red opening string. The base of the pattern is sky blue. There is a pair of cute and naive pandas printed on the packaging. One of them is looking around and the other is eating bamboo. The pattern is marked "Panda is
The words "Treasure among beasts, this smoke is a treasure among smoke".
Panda cigarettes are the favorite of Grandpa Deng, the chief architect of China’s reform and opening up!
Qiao Ziliang knew that this kind of specially packaged pandas was a panda special that only senior officials in the temple could get! Not to mention that he, Qiao Ziliang, couldn't get it, and it was extremely difficult for senior officials in the province to get a few packs to try. But now, Xu Fan
It was two boxes at a time, so why not give him a huge surprise! This symbol of status suddenly raised Xu Fan's status in his mind by more than three or five levels?
Qiao Ziliang slowly calmed down and put the two precious boxes of cigarettes in his arms. Xu Fan saw that he was reluctant to smoke, so he took out another unpacked pack, took out one and lit it for him. Qiao Ziliang was pleasantly surprised.
He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and the smoke slowly seeped out from his nostrils in curls. It was obvious that he was reluctant to spray it out all at once, and was carefully savoring and enjoying it.
After a while, he praised and said: "It smokes so well...".
Xu Fan smiled and said: "This cigarette is indeed rare. If I have it again in the future, I will bring it to you again, haha."
Qiao Ziliang looked at Xu Fan happily and said with a smile: "Well, don't be busy now, let me finish smoking this cigarette. Xiao Zheng, give them a cup of tea for the Dahongpao I brought back, haha".
He completely ignored Xu Fan and slowly smoked his cigarette with his eyes closed.
Xu Fan wanted to laugh when he saw it. He looked very much like those drug addicts, and his satisfaction was really evident.
After finally smoking the cigarette until only the filter was left, Qiao Ziliang reluctantly put it into the ashtray and said with a smile: "Xiao Xu, what do you want to see me for this time?"
Xu Fan handed the Shitou County road reconstruction planning report to Mayor Qiao and said: "Mayor, this is the Shitou County road reconstruction planning report. Now the county is so poor, and if the roads are not good, it will be impossible to develop the economy. Now
Our plan is to transform provincial roads into secondary roads; township roads will also be transformed into cement roads, with a total investment of about 500 million. Now we plan to complete the 50 kilometers of provincial roads as the first step, with an investment of about 1.5 billion
"About 100 million".
Qiao Ziliang nodded while reading the report. After hearing what Xu Fan said, he said: "Yes, Shitou County is too poor. Not only does it have a bad reputation, it has also lowered the overall economic indicators of our city a lot. Develop the county's economy."
Now we have reached the point where we can’t wait any longer. By the way, then you are here just to ask for money? Haha.”
Xu Fan nodded and said with a smile: "The county finances have no money, and they can't even pay wages. I can only go to the city to ask for help. We just met Director Zhuang at the Municipal Transportation Bureau and asked the Transportation Bureau to allocate some money.
But he refused to pay a penny because he needed to submit the application six months in advance. It’s difficult, ugh.” Thinking of Zhuang Zedong’s indifference, Xu Fan did not forget to burn him in front of the mayor.
Qiao Ziliang thought for a while and said: "The city's finances are also tight. Let's do this. I'll ask the Municipal Transportation Bureau to allocate 10 million, and I will give you another 10 million from the mayor's fund. No more will be lost."
When Xu Fan heard that he was overjoyed, he said: "Thank you, mayor. I will be satisfied if I can get 20 million. If it is not enough, I will think of another way, haha."
Qiao Ziliang smiled and said: "Oh, by the way, are you planning to go to the province to ask for money? There are too many people asking for money, so it's not easy to get it."
Xu Fan thought for a while and said: "Let me think about it first. The money is still too low now. I can't go. How about asking the mayor to call me? It's better than me running around alone. The provincial government is too big
There are so many government offices, I’m afraid I won’t be able to find anyone if I get lost, haha.”
Qiao Ziliang laughed and scolded: "You kid, do you ever get lost? Really. Okay, for the sake of these two packs of cigarettes, I'll give you a call. You can go to the provincial capital to find Secretary Jiang tomorrow."
Xu Fan was startled when he heard this: "You mean Secretary Jiang of the Provincial Party Committee?" Qiao Ziliang nodded. Xu Fan felt his heart pounding. He quickly picked up the teacup and drank all the tea before calming down. Be careful.
asked: "Mayor, I,,, my little deputy county magistrate, go to the secretary, will he pay attention to me?".
Qiao Ziliang laughed loudly and scolded: "You? Are you afraid of the Provincial Party Committee Secretary? Do you think I don't know? You dare to meet the Minister of the Organization Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. You tell me, what is so scary about the Provincial Party Committee Secretary, huh?".
Xu Fan was shocked again: "Mayor, how did you know?" Qiao Ziliang said with a smile: "Don't worry about this, I will keep it a secret for you. You kid, you have a bright future, haha."
Xu Fan scratched his head in embarrassment and said: "Mayor, please stop laughing at me. You don't know that the old man said that he would only give me the deputy county magistrate, but he would not help me anymore. You said, if I don't work hard,
Where is the future? Maybe,, maybe even having a girlfriend,,,oh, it’s difficult.”
Qiao Ziliang then said seriously: "Xiao Xu, what the old man said is right. If a person wants to grow, mature and then succeed, he must do it step by step on his own. It is not reliable to encourage growth and walk on crutches.
Yes, work hard."
Xu Fan said: "Well, thank you mayor, I will try my best."
Qiao Ziliang nodded and said, I'll call Director Zhuang, and in the afternoon you will arrange for someone to go to the Municipal Transportation Bureau to transfer the money back.
After chatting for a while, Xu Fan felt that he could not take up too much of the mayor's time, so he took Li Sanhe and left.
