After traveling all day and night, Zhu Tong, Qin Keqiang, and Cookie finally arrived in Chongqing.
Today is the day when I made an appointment with Yin Shifeng to go to Jiangjiacun. The agreed meeting place was the Orchid Tower, the first nightclub of the Eighth Grade Orchid in Chongqing.
In May, Chongqing is cloudy and rainless, and the sun has not yet come out. This morning, you can see the blue sky and white clouds in the early morning, the blurry streets have just woken up, and the air is filled with moist moisture, which is a great enjoyment for tired travelers.
Along the way, the three of them changed into two cars.
The taxi with Shanghai license plate was too conspicuous to drive, so when I went to Nanjing I changed into a car with Nanjing license plate, which was also a taxi.
When they arrived in Wuhan, the Nanjing-licensed taxi was handed over to the Shiqimen disciples who came to pick them up. The three of them got on a long-distance bus and staggered to Chongqing.
Liu Xilan drove a small car and picked up the three grown men back to Orchid House.
Liu Xilan has changed a lot in the past year, especially when she looks at Qin Keqiang, her eyes are watery.
Zhu Tong pulled Cookie into the room and blocked Qin Ke from the door.
"Why?" Cookie asked puzzledly.
"Brother Qin is her boyfriend. I haven't seen him for a long time. Brother Qu, how old are you this year? Do you have a girlfriend?" Zhu Tong took off his coat and prepared to take a bath. He came all the way and was really undressed. Zhu Tong has always lived a good life.
I'm very particular and I'm not used to smelling like myself.
"I am only twenty this year, and my boss said that Xiaoyao Valley disciples cannot approach women before they are thirty." Qiao Qiao said honestly.
"Who is the boss?" Zhu Tong had taken off only his underwear.
"The boss is my uncle. You call him Qu Laoyi, and we all call him boss." Qiao Qiao also started to take off his clothes, faster than Zhu Tong.
"You can't get close to women and you can't get close to men. Go ahead and wash yourself after I've finished washing you." Zhu Tong pushed the cookie out of the bathroom and thought to himself, this child is really a gem and needs to be tempered.
As the water washed away the dirt on his body, Zhu Tong's mind began to spin, thinking about what Qin Keqiang and Liu Xilan were doing in the other room. Then he thought of Ye'er, who was also in this city. Liu Yilan said, Huang Hai chose
The Huajiang Hotel is just across the river from the Orchid Building. As long as the weather is good, you can see the building from your room window.
Thinking of this, Zhu Tong quickly dried his body and rushed out of the bathroom, saying to Cookie: "It's your turn to wash up."
I opened the long window and leaned against the window sill, feeling the river breeze blowing in my face.
Looking at the vaguely tall buildings on the other side, the neon lights at the top of the Huajiang Hotel have not yet extinguished. Because of the presence of Ye'er, the cold and hard buildings of Huajiang have become as tender as water. It stands quietly on the other side of the river like a shy girl.
, stands out from a group of gray buildings.
The straight-line distance between the two places was about 1.5 kilometers. Zhu Tong urged the Butterfly God to look carefully, and he could actually feel a vague shadow.
Qin Keqiang pushed the door in with a pile of clothes and joked: "It's all in vain. It's just past six o'clock and I haven't gotten up yet. It's only been two days, how will I survive the next month?"
"If you don't see it, you won't see it." Zhu Tong took the clothes.
The background of the new identity Ren Qiang is the business manager of a food company in Hebei. Age is not a problem, but his appearance needs to be modified a little.
"I just had a phone call with Boss Qu. We both think you shouldn't go to Jiangjiacun today," Qin Keqiang said.
This issue has been discussed countless times on the road. Zhu Tong insisted on accompanying Yin Shifeng to Jiangjiacun, but Qin Keqiang thought it was too risky.
Rationally, Zhu Tong also knows that he should respect Qin Keqiang's wishes. The investigation of Jiangjia Village by the task force led by Huang Hai is nearing completion, and there must be spies of the task force in and outside the village. On the other hand, Zhu Tong's escape this time
It's not the police, but a more efficient system. If the operation against him has been launched, there must be something arranged around Ye'er.
However, Zhu Tong rejected Qin Keqiang's suggestions many times on the pretext that he must do what he promised.
Zhu Tong also knew that he was being ridiculous. He had been forced to agree to the reconciliation requested by Jiang Xiaoyu, but he couldn't help the impulse in his heart. He wanted to watch the fifth-grade Qingyang bow to Yin Shifeng in front of his eyes. He wanted to watch
Yu Lang, who transformed into a fantasy master, was forced to hand over the seventeen thin swords representing the family's honor and the Yin family's secret book.
After the cookies were rinsed out, Zhu Tong also changed his clothes, sat in front of the mirror and began to disguise himself in front of a photo of Ren Qiang.
Ren Qiang is slightly fatter than Zhu Tong, and his face shape is 80% similar. The biggest difference is his eyes and eyebrows.
Cookie was surprised to see that Zhu Tong used a razor blade to scrape his eyebrows a few times, and drew a few times around his eyes with an eyebrow pencil; he rubbed his eyes and adjusted his facial muscles, and he seemed to become a different person.
"How did you do it?" Cookie picked up the photos and compared them, not believing what he saw.
"The most important thing in the art of disguise is not the disguise, but the skill. The first thing is to find his charm and the brilliance of his eyes, and the second is his appearance." Zhu Tong stuffed two braces into his mouth, which made him look a little fatter.
; Then keep gnashing your teeth and adjusting your facial muscles to enhance the disguise effect.
Cookie looked at it for a while, and then began to wink at the mirror. After a while, he seemed to have become a different person.
Zhu Tong was surprised by Cookie's level of understanding. The secret muscle control ability of Xiaoyao Valley should be higher than that of Peng Ma Gong. It took Zhu Tong half a year to barely master the disguise technique. He could only tell a little bit about Cookie.
I understood the essence of it.
In the following time, Zhu Tong began to read a comprehensive information. This was a summary of intelligence related to Jiangjia Village compiled by Qin Keqiang and Liu Xilan.
Jiangjiacun is located on the Jialing River, a two-hour drive from the main city of Chongqing. If you take a boat, it takes four hours.
The rise of Jiangjiacun began more than 20 years ago, and the real leap in development began five years ago.
More than 20 years ago, Jiangjiacun built its first food processing factory with a start-up capital of 300,000 yuan. It was the first village-run enterprise in Chongqing and attracted considerable attention and support at the time.
However, due to inconvenient transportation and policy reasons, the food processing factory did not bring much wealth to Jiangjiacun.
Immediately afterwards, Jiangjiacun secretly picked up a very old industry, smuggling illegal salt. In the name of a food processing factory, they purchased large quantities of illegal salt from the Sichuanbei salt mine in eastern Sichuan, processed it in Jiangjiacun, subcontracted it, and then used small boats to
Transported to Jialing River, Fujiang River, Qujiang River, and various towns and villages along the Yangtze River for sale.
At that stage, food processing plants had become a cover for smuggling illegal salt and a tool for money laundering.
Smuggling private salt involves great risks, and the profits are not huge. At that time, life in Jiangjiacun was only better than that of other surrounding towns.
The real leap forward for Jiangjia Village has been in recent years.
Almost overnight, more than a dozen companies were established in Jiangjiacun, 70% of which were wholly foreign-owned or Sino-foreign joint ventures. The areas covered expanded from food processing to clothing, mechanical processing, ship repair and manufacturing, and catering.
services, tourism and many other industries.
Jiangjiacun has become a development zone that is not a development zone. The unnamed mountain water next to Jiangjiacun was mined for hot springs, and it immediately became a tourist hotspot. In fact, given Chongqing's geological conditions, hot spring water can be produced by drilling wells to a certain depth.
What is important is not the hot springs, but the large sums of money needed to promote the hot springs and the scenery surrounding their development and construction.
In the Yangtze River Delta region, because of its market and transportation advantages, Yiyuan Village is nothing. In the surrounding areas of big cities, Yiyuan Village has nothing to show off. However, Jiangcun is located in a mountainous area with inconvenient transportation. It is still one hundred years away from Chongqing.
With many kilometers, its sudden rise will naturally become the focus and banner of publicity in all aspects.
What is rare is that Jiangjiacun has not received a penny of loan support or project support from banks or local governments since its development. It is not like some billion-dollar villages that frequently ask the government for special care. Even from Jiangjia Village
The high-grade highway leading from Jiacun to Chongqing was also built with money from Jiangjiacun.
With the completion of this highway, Jiangjia Village began to penetrate into the urban area of Chongqing, and it was a big deal from the beginning. The specially designed Jiangjia Fish Village catering service company had a good start as soon as it opened. In just two years, it has opened
It has many branches and has begun to spread to surrounding cities.
Liu Xilan sent people to investigate several Jiangjia Fish Village hotels and found that the business was indeed booming and the customer base was very stable. Further investigation revealed that there was something wrong with the hot pot and dish ingredients in Jiangjia Fishing Village, which contained a special addictive substance.
Flavor. Many hotpot restaurants and hotels in Chongqing secretly use poppy shells as flavoring. There are reasons for this, including historical habits and geographical environment, and more importantly, profit factors.
The problem is that the fragrance used in Jiangjia Fishing Village is not poppy shells. According to the clues obtained by Liu Yilan's secret investigation, this fragrance is a yellow granular object, and its specific ingredients are still a mystery.
Jiangjia Village is no longer just a village worth 100 million yuan. Their annual output value has already exceeded 100 million yuan. According to information released by the government, the combined output value of the companies in Jiangjia Village exceeded the 500 million yuan mark last year, making it a dazzling star in Chongqing.
Star Village.
However, the growth of Jiangjiacun has not been smooth sailing. Because it does not require bank loans or support from local government, although it looks very prosperous, it has also caused a very serious problem: profit distribution.
Banks need to make money by charging interest on loans. Jiangjiacun only deposits money from the bank but does not borrow money. Naturally, the bank will not be satisfied.
In the past few years, Jiangjia Village has been like a phoenix rising from the ashes, transforming from a remote mountain village on the Jialing River into a rich cornucopia. The local government has publicity resources and tax revenue has increased significantly. This should be a happy situation for everyone. However, people
His greed is so profound that he has no sense at all.
Except for the villagers of Jiangjia Village, government officials have not benefited from this. Whether it is the functional departments with the power of approval or the Qingshui Yamen, they have all been sharpening their knives very fast and waiting for Jiangjia Village to come and kill them. Some people even designed
Once you have one or more plans in place, you should not only benefit Jiangjia Village but also get generous rewards for yourself.
Their knives were all sharpened in vain. After all, the plan only stayed at the level of dirty ideas and had no chance of implementation. Jiangjiacun was very wealthy and never asked anyone for anything. Whenever they encountered difficulties, they would solve them in their own way. Especially when dealing with government departments.
, even more cautious, clearly showing respect for ghosts and gods and keeping away from them.
For example, the secondary highway leading to Chongqing needs to be built first if it wants to get rich. In the name of serving enterprises and developing the local economy, the local government has used celebrities like Jiangjiacun as its banner, and has done a lot from planning and design to the implementation of project funds.
The preliminary coordination and preparation work; it can be said that everything is ready and all we need is the east wind.
But the problem lies with Dongfeng. On a beautiful spring day, a large team of local party and government leaders went to Jiangjiacun for inspection and research. The banner was to build a new countryside and solve practical difficulties for enterprises and farmers.
This is a scene where everyone is happy, it is very simple and boring.
Before the chief official takes action, the people below him must first communicate and coordinate. Half a month before this research and inspection, the township officials contacted the head of Jiangjia Village, a demobilized soldier, to communicate.
According to the administrative level, the village chief of Jiangjia Village at that time was not considered a village chief, but a village group leader, because Jiangjia Village was originally a small fishing village; together with the four surrounding villages, it constituted an administrative village.
