1979 The Life of Idle Fish

Chapter 634
The spring breeze was blowing all the way, and six or seven small cars, large and small, drove out of downtown Chuncheng when spring was just beginning to show its light, and rushed towards Simao on the flat asphalt road.

If you don't take a car, you don't know how hard it is. This journey has been very difficult for Luo Tao. He can't help but think about the goodness of the expressway. He is willing to pay an extra dollar in road maintenance fees.

Fortunately, he is not the only one to suffer this crime, "Mr. Luo, this is Simao. There is no severe cold in winter and no scorching heat in summer. The climate is pleasant and the scenery is very beautiful. Even the foreigners like this small border town." As soon as the car entered Simao, Comrade He Qiang began to introduce Luo Tao.

"Oh? Leader | How come our Simao's scenery has captured the hearts of foreign friends?" Luo Tao was very puzzled. Why does this foreigner like to run around? Even border areas like Simao have their stories. .

Comrade He Qiang laughed and said, "Did the scenery of our Simao capture them? I don't know, but the coffee that Westerners like to drink is left to us."

At this moment, there was a string of big question marks on Luo Tao's head, what kind of coffee?This old man is so old, he also likes to play charades, which doesn't fit his perception of officials at all.

When Comrade He Qiang saw that Luo Tao didn't understand the meaning, he called himself Wang Po, selling melons and boasting. "Hey, last year we cooperated with a foreign coffee company on a coffee planting project, and the planting site was in Simao. You don't know if you don't have contact with it. Only after contact do you know that it is not easy to cooperate with foreigners."

"On this one project, I have lost so many pairs of shoes and fought so many wars. It was not easy to negotiate, but people still said we were not sincere enough."

These words not only subverted Luo Tao's understanding of this person, but also made him confused. Which foreign coffee company?And when does Simao have coffee?In my previous life, I had eaten and seen Simao tea and drank Simao tea, but I had never heard that Simao also produced coffee. I was so ignorant.

It doesn't matter if you don't know, just stay calm.

"Haha, foreigners are like this. They like to eat meat and don't like bleeding. From what the leader said, it seems they didn't get any advantage from the leader."

Nowadays, when foreign companies come to do business with us, we all come to visit them. Since their status is unequal, they need more discounts and special care. However, judging from our current situation, this is a normal phenomenon. Who can tell others? rich.

But we must strongly condemn those spineless bastards who kneel down when they meet and give away the land at cabbage prices. To paraphrase an old antique saying: isn’t this back a hundred years ago?

Although Luo Tao doesn't like old antiques very much, he still thinks that they are far-sighted on this issue.

Don’t you see how the school is run in the small days!

Comrade He Qiang laughed out loud after hearing what Luo Tao had said, not caring about his identity at all.

"As you said, they came out of that world and only have interests in their eyes. Not only does the lion want us to give them more discounts, but they also want to directly sweep us out as masters on some issues. ······

What's even more ridiculous is that they treat us as bumpkins who have never seen the world, and they think they want to get rid of us with three melons and two dates. Haha, it's a pity that in the end it was all in vain.

More discounts can be given, and policies can be appropriately tilted towards them, but technology must take root in our Simao area...
However, having said that, they still took advantage of it. It is not easy to find an area suitable for growing coffee like Simao. "

The car was driving rapidly on the asphalt road. In Luo Tao's eyes, Comrade He Qiang, a capable and promising man, was the old man in the alley who liked to talk about important things. He was very lively and a familiar yet unfamiliar feeling came over him.

Now Luo Tao is suffering from mute disease - a good ear with a bad mouth - he can only listen but not speak.

You can remain silent, but your desire for knowledge must be expressed sincerely.

After his explanation, Luo Tao finally understood the ins and outs of this matter.

The year before last, the internationally renowned coffee company Nestlé was looking for a cornucopia in China. I don’t know how long they secretly searched for it. It was not until last year that they finally settled on the Simao area.

I don’t know much about professional matters, but I just know that the Simao area is uniquely endowed with the innate conditions for growing high-quality coffee.

I also learned that coffee was planted in the Simao area more than 100 years ago. It is said that it was brought by missionaries. I don’t know whether it is true or not. However, the credibility of this statement is still very high. There are footprints of missionaries in the Menglang area. There is still a church in the territory to prove it.

After hearing this, Luo Tao really realized that he was really ignorant this time.

In fact, Simao coffee is still very famous in China in later generations. For example, the Catim coffee variety is popular among everyone because it is strong but not bitter, fragrant but not strong, and slightly acidic.

A brand like Beigui was a coffee company founded in 1988 by a large coffee grower named Dunjia Road in the Simao area.

This is full of knowledge points.

After ending the topic of coffee cultivation, Comrade He Qiang leaned back on his seat, tilted slightly towards Luo Tao, and said very casually: "Mr. Luo, Simao has a saying that one city connects three countries, and one river connects five neighbours. The location is still very good.”

Listening to his casual words, Luo Tao understood what he meant with just a few clicks.

It is said that Nestlé invested in growing coffee in this area, and now it is talking about the location conditions of Simao. It is clear that it wants to invest in construction in Simao area!
Here is good and that is good, but this road is not good at all.

In addition, the current Simao is not the same Simao that is famous for its tourism industry in later generations. Not to mention poor and white, but there is no place worthy of investment in Xichang.

If you come here to build a factory and do clothing business, not to mention the capital investment required for early construction, the problem of sales will stop people.

Restaurants can be considered, but no matter how big a restaurant is, it will not solve the employment problem of hundreds of people. It will only be a drop in the bucket to stimulate the local economy.

As for the Xichang vegetable basket project, there is not much need. The Spring City vegetable basket has just been launched this year, and it is really impossible to spare more manpower to take care of this stall.

The more than [-] schools and hospitals that have been aided in the construction have allocated many staff. If they continue to spread the pie, Ning Quan, the person in charge of the South, should call himself Grandet.

While Luo Tao was weighing the pros and cons, Comrade He Qiang didn't care about this and continued his usual conversation: "Simao is also very rich in mineral resources. As an old geologist, I know all about them... "

Since it is so clear, wouldn’t it be good for you to build a stove, cook a pot, and cook?
"...The forest coverage rate has reached more than 60.00%. This kind of natural resource is not available in other sister cities. Even those foreigners who inspected it said that Simao is the pearl of the green sea. Haha, the Canglang River is even known as the Danube River of the East, so why is it suitable for retirement? Haha, these foreigners are also free, and we here have not enough to eat, so how can we have time to retire?

This kind of thinking is very negative and depraved, and this is their sugar-coated bullet. "

This person is really good at talking. It seems that he will never give up until he achieves his goal. If I don't show some sincerity today, my ears will never be clean.

Looking at his kind smile, Jiang was still too old to accept it.

"The leader is so eloquent. After hearing what you say, I want to invest in Simao."

"Hahaha, if Mr. Luo is willing to come, we are very welcome. The beautiful mountains and rivers of Simao need people with vision like Mr. Luo to build it."

It turns out that he is still a wise man.

Luo Tao's face was full of smiles, "It turns out that the leader is waiting for me here. It seems that yesterday's care and love were mixed with a little water."

At this time, Comrade He Qiang didn't care at all whether Luo Tao's joke was true or not.

He laughed, the secretary also laughed, and the driver also laughed, and the small car was full of laughter.

"Hey! You can't blame me for this. It's all President Jin's responsibility for his policy of courtesy first and then fighting."

The person in charge of Jin Chaodong: I have to take the blame.

Luo Tao didn't dare to say this, and I wouldn't dare blame you if you gave me ten courages. Talking in front of elders, especially joking, should be done in moderation.

A few sentences are fun, but too many sentences will offend people.

“You, Xichang, are a well-known large company in our country. I wonder if you, the God of Wealth, can give our fellow villagers here a job where they can have enough to eat!
Don’t add a thousand places, let the folks in Menglang area slow down. "

Seeing the old man's sincere face, his tone as gentle as the spring breeze, which seemed to be a discussion and a request, Luo Tao couldn't say anything.

From the short words, I know that the following days will be difficult.

There was a long silence.Some things still need to be made clear.

Sighing: "To be honest with the leader, it's not that I don't want to invest in Simao and let the villagers come to work, but that I am powerless and cannot let my family's bad reputation go public. But there is nothing I can't say in front of the leader today." .

Xichang looks strong in the eyes of outsiders, but in reality it is just an illusion. "

This is a bit of an understatement, but it is also true. There are many problems in Xichang now.

"Oh?"

"Xichang has developed too rapidly in recent years, and the stalls are too large, which makes management very difficult. In addition, many places now also need funds. I hope the leaders can understand."

After Comrade He Qiang learned about the situation, he repeatedly accused him.

"I'm really sorry. We thought it was our fault and only wanted you to support our work without understanding your difficulties."

Luo Tao felt warm in his heart when he heard these words, long live understanding!
"I didn't expect that your company would have its own difficulties, but you would spare no effort to help us. This makes me don't know how to thank you."

"The leader's words are serious, this is what should be done." The leader also understood the situation, but he still had to put in some effort.

"Although we can't help with big things now, we can still do some small things. Open a restaurant in Simao area and arrange [-] jobs for the villagers. But we have to go to Yangcheng to work."

With Luo Tao's promise, the old man's big hands became even stronger.

"I have benefited a lot from talking with you all the way. What do you mean you can't be of great help? There are more than [-] schools and hospitals. This is a thousand-year-old virtue. This kindness will not be forgotten for many lifetimes." Luo Tao said with shame and praise. It's too high, and I always feel like I don't deserve it.

"Before, when the leaders came to Yunnan for inspection, they told me and Lao Jin about you. They said that although you are a young comrade, you are highly qualified, thoughtful, talented, responsible, and have a sense of the overall situation.

We didn't believe it at first, but now it seems that we judge the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. "

Before he had time to think about the slight misunderstanding of himself expressed in the leader's words, he quickly resolved his self-deprecating words.

After this profound heart-to-heart conversation, the two began a lifelong friendship.

ps: In the last chapter, I went in to drink tea. I might be able to come out tomorrow, or it might take a few days. 404.

Long time no see, I miss you very much.I will definitely update it properly when I come back this time, otherwise I won’t be able to pick up my integrity.
