Hello 1983

  Chapter 386 Running Horses and Occupying Wasteland

   In the restaurant guarding the riverside, the master chefs are all experts in fish cooking, especially today, the chef's wife ordered it personally, and she showed a lot of skill.

  When a steamed seven-grain float is served, the hotel cabin is filled with aroma.

  Everyone stretched out their chopsticks one after another. The fish meat is tender and delicious, especially the cartilage in the body, which tastes even more special.

   When a big fish was almost eaten, a fat middle-aged man came out in white overalls: "How is it, is it delicious?"

   "Master, your skills are amazing!"

  Xiao Wu was full of praise. He had eaten and seen it before, but this was the first time he tasted such delicious steamed fish.

  The master rubbed his hands with his apron honestly: "These seven floats are not the best. If we can get a large sturgeon, it will be the most delicious in our river."

  Of course Liu Qingshan knows: the big sturgeon is the largest fish in the river here, weighing more than a thousand catties.

  During the Qing Dynasty, a local Hezhen fisherman caught a big sturgeon, and in winter, he transported it all the way to the capital to dedicate it to Emperor Qianlong at that time.

  The emperor saw such a big fish for the first time, and thought it was the king of fish, so he named it "Hulu fish".

  Especially the roe of the big beluga female, which is more expensive and is called "black gold".

  The fat chef chatted a few more words, and continued to work in the back kitchen, while Liu Qingshan and the others chatted while eating.

   "Brother Qiangzi, which unit do you work in?" Liu Qingshan asked about Xu Guoqiang's situation.

   "It's at the pickle factory." Xu Guoqiang's unit is considered average, mainly making soy sauce, vinegar and pickles. His job is to pay for the goods. To put it bluntly, it is a dozen of soy sauce.

After finishing speaking, he added: "But I heard that the city is going to set up an Economic and Trade Bureau, which will be responsible for the trade with Maozi, and they are recruiting staff from various units. I don't know how the Economic and Trade Bureau is. Maozi is not very easy to deal with. "

  Liu Qingshan was overjoyed: "Go, you must go!"

  Of course he knows how prosperous the border trade will be here in the future, and the Economic and Trade Bureau is definitely the fattest job.

  Xu Guoqiang's handsome face was a little embarrassed: "They are not outsiders, so I will not hide them. If I change jobs, I will definitely not be able to do without gifts."

  The old squad leader next to him interjected: "Qiangzi's family has many brothers and sisters, and we all count on his salary."

   "Haha, things that can be solved with money are nothing."

  Liu Qingshan laughed and asked Hou San to bring his backpack, then took out two bundles of Great Unity from it, and handed it to Xu Guoqiang.

   This frightened Xu Guoqiang to wave his hands again and again: "Don't, don't, I can't take your money."

  At this time, Zhang Long said: "Qiangzi, we old comrades-in-arms also have a share of this money."

  Xu Guoqiang smacked his lips: "It doesn't cost that much. There are three to five hundred yuan. Buying some gifts is enough."

   These days, there are 1200 people who can be transferred to work. Liu Qingshan's 2000 yuan is really scary.

  However, Liu Qingshan has already made arrangements: "Brother Qiangzi, this money is counted as an activity fund. When you arrive at the new unit, you need to spend money to take care of your superiors, eat and drink with your colleagues, and maintain a good relationship."

   "If you feel embarrassed, then we will borrow it from you first."

  Hearing what he said, Xu Guoqiang finally took the money, and he cheered up a lot more than before.

  Liu Qingshan asked again: "Brother Qiangzi, there is one more thing, you know the place well, I need to trouble you."

  Xu Guoqiang nodded and looked at Liu Qingshan firmly. Now he finally knew why the old squad leader followed this young man.

"We're going to find a place to stay first, and we can't live in a hotel every day. It's not very convenient. It's better to have a spacious place. Abandoned factories can be used. They are mainly used as warehouses. At that time, some warehouses will have to be built. , used to hoard goods."

  Liu Qingshan and the others don't want to make small troubles, trade bulk goods, and without a large-scale warehouse, they can't do it at all.

  The border trade will be in trial operation this winter, so before winter, they need to expand the warehouse and mobilize as many goods as possible from all directions.

   Even if the goods are exchanged from the opposite side, there must be a place to store them, so the place must be large enough.

  Xu Guoqiang couldn't help but smile when he understood it: "Our pickle factory has an idle site by the river, which was originally used as a vegetable warehouse. In the past two years, we haven't stored it for winter, so we just abandoned it."

   "How big is it?"

  Liu Qingshan was also a little tempted.

   "I don't think there will be more than 20,000 to 30,000 square meters. Anyway, it's all about scrambling." Xu Guoqiang also seemed very excited. He is now eager to help and do something in return.

  The land on their side is sparsely populated. I dare not say anything else, but there is a lot of wasteland.

  Liu Qingshan also felt that it was enough, so he assigned this matter to the old squad leader, and asked Xu Guoqiang to lead him to the pickle factory to discuss with the leader.

  The principle is to sign as many lease contracts as possible, not too few for ten or twenty years, and not too many for thirty or fifty years.

   After all, with the rise of border trade, the rent may increase several times in the future.

  As for buying it directly, hehe, don’t even think about it for now.

  He was a little worried that the people who came out of the army were too upright and didn't know how to be tactful, so he sent Hou San along with him.

   "I'm going for a stroll too." Li Tieniu couldn't stay idle, so he volunteered.

   "It's not going to fight, what are you doing?" The old squad leader was reluctant to take him.

  Hou San was more happy, he had seen Li Tieniu's combat power, and he felt at ease with such a bodyguard following him.

  The rest of the people, don’t be idle, first find out some factories in HH City, and when the time comes to buy goods, it’s best to get them nearby. Transportation is too laborious these days.

   At least like wineries and canning factories, there are also local ones, if not, just place an order directly.

   At that time, their ham sausage factory and instant noodle factory in Jiapigou should also be put into operation, and the products can also be directly brought over.

  By the way, it seems that in those years when the border trade first started, Lao Maozi had a special liking for Big Bubble Gum. When he saw a vendor in Huaxia, he enthusiastically called him "Da Da".

  At first, I thought it was someone being polite and willing to be a junior, but later I realized that I was asking if there was any big bubble gum for sale.

   But the Big Bubble Gum won’t be released until three or four years later, and now Liu Qingshan really has no place to find it.

   If you can’t find it, just see if you can produce it yourself. This thing doesn’t have too high a technological content.

   To put it bluntly, it is edible plastic processed from natural resin into a colloid, with some sugar and flavor added, and it can be produced by black workshops in future generations.

  Liu Qingshan kept this matter in mind, and after returning home, he would discuss with Qian Yuzhen and Hong Yunsheng and his wife to see if they could build a joint venture.

  The brigade has all spread out, and Liu Qingshan is sitting in the hotel.

   When it was getting dark, the groups of three came back one after another.

  The distillery was led by Zhang Long, who brought back good news: there are dozens of tons of liquor in stock.

  They produce high-grade wine here, while Maozi just likes high-grade wine, alcohol is better.

  Liu Qingshan waved his hand: "Brother Dalong, you can come back tomorrow and place an order directly, and it's all covered."

  Others were taken aback when they heard this: Is this for drinking, or for taking a bath?

  Just listen to Liu Qingshan continue: "And make an agreement with them, produce at full capacity, how much will be produced, and remove the unified purchase and sales, we all want it!"

   When doing business with Maozi, liquor will always come first.

  Liu Qingshan felt that this was not enough, so he picked up the map after thinking for a while: "The wineries in the surrounding counties, you should also run around in the future, and operate according to this standard."

  Zhang Long nodded to mark it down.

  Then Gangzi and the others talked about the few factories they run, most of which are too small to maintain local supply without much profit.

   There is a canning factory, but the main production is one kind of canned food: Huang Taiping.

  Because the local climate is cold and the frost-free period is too short, only some small berries are produced.

  There is no way out, so let’s order from the place of origin.

  In the end, only the old squad leader and Hou San were left. They didn’t come back until after eight o’clock in the evening. They were all drunk. Only Li Tieniu, although he also smelled of alcohol, but his two big eyes were brighter than before.

  Hou San blushed from drinking, and his tongue was so big when he spoke, but his thinking was quite clear, so Rory recounted the story in a wordy manner.

  The whole process went very smoothly, and the negotiation was straightforward: a ten-year lease was signed, and the annual rent was 2,000 yuan.

  That's right, it's so cheap, of course there are Xu Guoqiang's factors in it, and the cigarettes and alcohol brought by Hou San also played their due role.

   In order to express his gratitude, Hou San asked the leaders of the pickle factory to come to the restaurant,

   As a result, the people here are more able to drink than the other. He and the old squad leader soon became overwhelmed. This wine market is sometimes another battlefield for men.

   At the critical moment, Li Tieniu made his debut, opened a bottle of high-grade liquor, blew on the bottle, drank the bottle in one breath, completely swallowed the other party, and said on the spot that he would sign the contract tomorrow.

  Li Tieniu curled his lips: "What's the point of drinking, it's like drinking cold water."

   "Brother, okay, I still have this ability, and I will definitely need it in the future. When dealing with Maozi, if you don't drink them down, they will still look down on you."

  Liu Qingshan was also very happy. He never thought that there are such talents, and he must give full play to his talents.

  Wait until tomorrow morning, Liu Qingshan signed a contract with the pickle factory on behalf of Longteng Company, and then brought people over there excitedly to check.

  The site is really not small. Basically, there is a large empty field with a square of 200 meters, surrounded by broken wooden boards, and it is full of big holes and small eyes.

  The door was still locked, and the locks were rusted to death, so they simply got in through the board.

  There is a red brick house at the end, there are more than a dozen of them. When you go to the front, you can see that the glass windows are all broken, and none of them are intact.

   There used to be radiators in the house, but they were all removed.

  Liu Qingshan turned around and understood that he had to start from scratch, so he directed:

   "Clean up, replace the doors and windows with glass, first burn the stove in the house, then build some beds, buy some bedding, and make do with it."

  Many people are easy to work, everyone immediately acted.

  Especially for veterans like Zhang Long and the others, their execution ability is quite strong.

  Everyone was packing up, when they heard a motor roaring from outside, Hou San went out to check, and immediately ran back into the house in fright.

   "Several motorcycles and a big truck came, full of people and steel pipes in their hands, as if the visitors were not friendly!"

   Yo, this battle is not small, even big trucks are coming.

  Liu Qingshan hurriedly led people out, only to see that Hu Er who had been rubbing against the river was leading a group of people rushing over.

  Seeing Liu Qingshan and the others, Hu Er pointed out: "Fifth brother, it's these guys!"
