The Xiaoyunshan Iron Mine was replaced, which caused controversy in H County.
Geng Tongpeng hasn't been nice to Zhang Hongcheng for more than a week.
Deputy Secretary Zhou also sighed, but he could only hope that the investment from Hong Kong businessmen was more reliable.
Old Yang Shuji decided to just stay out of sight and not be bothered, and just stay away from external affairs while staying at the cotton farming company.
Some people in the county government felt that this move was a case of losing the big picture for the sake of gaining a small gain, but others felt that County Magistrate Zhang had a long-term vision.
As for what those sets of brewing equipment could be exchanged for from the Hong Kong businessmen, everyone tactfully kept silent.
Instead, it was a small matter that caused everyone to talk about it - Xiao Tu, who had worked with County Zhang for a period of time, was transferred to the newly established 543 Office, which was considered a half-level promotion.
The document regarding the land exchange between the two counties quickly reached the provincial level from the city level.
Since everyone agreed, the provincial government approved it very quickly.
One copy is sent to the capital for filing, and the other is sent to the city for execution.
After getting this newly issued approval document, Zhang Hongcheng actually got himself drunk for the first time.
Eight points is already the best, the remaining two points depend on God's will.
After waking up from his drunken sleep, Zhang Hongcheng immediately asked Guo Tao to organize people to form a county forestry patrol team, stationed in Zhengjiayu.
There is only one request, that signs for protecting the forest area be hung all over the mountains - from today on, no one is allowed to cut down trees in this area.
The "failure" of Xiaoyunshan has greatly reduced the morale of the H County government staff.
But everyone was soon so busy that they forgot all about it.
Probably because in late March, spring plowing began.
The water level in the ditch is much higher than in previous years. Families across the county who have already divided their land are holding their breath, determined to have a good harvest this year!
Both teams in the county went to the countryside to do field work, and they didn't meet again until early April.
Spring plowing has not yet been completely completed, but Comrade Lao Li has returned to his hometown with cotton seeds from the new province!
The educated youth who had studied for a long time finally found their skills useful.
The cotton fields are full of busy young figures.
Minister Li looks in good spirits, but he has lost a lot of weight compared to before.
The welcoming ceremony was held at Old Yang Shuji's house. There was a small wooden table, a bottle of old wine, a pile of peanuts and a plate of braised pork. Minister Li, Old Yang Shuji and Zhang Hongcheng were sitting there.
"Yang Huaisheng, don't overthink it," Minister Li first gave Zhang Hongcheng a few affectionate big thumbs-up, then pointed at Zhang Hongcheng and said to Old Yang with a chuckle, "Don't try to figure out this guy's tricks."
"By the time you figure out the first level, the result is already out. It's all in vain!"
"He's taking this crappy winery equipment to open a sauce factory in the south," Minister Li sneered with a knowing look. "I guess he's probably just using the tiger's skin as a banner. He probably wanted this equipment himself."
Yang Huaisheng looked puzzled.
"What do we need those things for? We have to be subsidized with grain every year. Making wine? That's ridiculous!"
Minister Li took a bite of the braised pork and shook his head cheerfully.
"Don't ask me, I'm too lazy to think about it. If this guy doesn't tell you, it's either because the time is not right or it's really difficult to tell you."
Zhang Hongcheng also laughed.
"Old Secretary Ji, actually, opening a winery doesn't necessarily require local grain contributions..."
"What about importing grains...raw materials from other places to brew the wine?" Old Yang continued to shake his head. "Believe it or not, kid, even though I'm old, if we really do that, the leaders above us will still dare to point fingers at me and curse at me."
Things have come to this point, and Zhang Hongcheng can finally reveal a few things.
"We don't need to import grain. We can just buy the wine from somewhere else."
"Then what?"
Minister Li stopped drinking and started asking questions, but in fact, he was very curious.
Zhang Hongcheng's faint voice sounded.
"Let's adjust the taste, then change the name and packaging to Hong Kong capital and sell it."
Old Yang Shuji was stunned for a moment: "What's the price?"
Zhang Hongcheng stretched out his palm and flipped it.
Scream~~~~.
Old Yang Shuji was a little unsteady in holding the cup in his hand.
"Double it, it's too dark!"
Minister Li glared at Lao Yang unhappily.
"You're useless! Look carefully! This kid is extending a slap, but the front and back are equal ten times as strong!"
"He can sell you the wine he bought for two yuan!"
Old Yang Shuji's hand suddenly trembled, and the cup fell to the ground with a thud.
Well, isn’t this just speculation? Well, no, Hong Kong capital and joint ventures don’t count!
Zhang Hongcheng entrusted all the cotton planting matters to Yang Shuji and Minister Li, who were more familiar with farm work. He began to order the entire county to clean up - the investment inspection team led by Chen Beilei had arrived in the city.
It was also thanks to Chen Beilei's aggressive leadership that leaders from several counties came secretly to poach customers' projects, but they were all scolded away by her.
“Awesome!”
When they met again, Zhang Hongcheng gave a thumbs up without hesitation.
Chen Beilei has completely changed her hairstyle to a fashionable, slightly curly, shoulder-length style, giving her the image of a typical Shanghainese beauty.
"Don't flatter me," Chen Beilei said with a smile, "When can you give us a clear idea about these projects?"
"The guests are here, but it's not certain whether you can keep them."
Zhang Hongcheng smiled but said nothing. He just had a long private chat with two experts (masters) from Hong Kong Island in the evening. The atmosphere was harmonious and both the host and the guests enjoyed themselves.
Zhang Hongcheng did not take the Hong Kong businessmen to see the cityscape, but instead took the guests to see the thermal power plant that was undergoing its second phase of expansion - 50% of H County's budget in 1983 was invested here.
Then Zhang Hongcheng led the guests to visit a spring located on a mountain on the west side of H County.
This mountain was called Eryang Mountain last year, but during the Chinese New Year, the county issued an order asking everyone to change its name to "Guquan Mountain".
The spring was well repaired using bluestone slabs, and an old-fashioned monument was erected next to it. The road up the mountain was also turned into a gravel path.
Someone once complained that the county was really wasting money.
"The legend of brewing wine from the springs of Guquan Mountain is ancient, and our county technicians have spent decades researching and refining the ancient Ming Dynasty recipe. The taste of this wine is unparalleled."
Zhang Hongcheng pointed at the stone tablet that had been erected less than a month ago and started talking.
Several Hong Kong businessmen also nodded and smiled in agreement.
As for business, everyone understands it.
"As for the wine bottles and packaging, don't worry. I've already reached an agreement with my alma mater's handicraft factory. We'll buy shares, and they'll provide the manpower and equipment to set up a branch factory in our county, specifically to produce wine bottles and packaging for us!"
Several guests nodded in satisfaction.
They all know the status of Minda Handicraft Factory, and the bean paste packaged by them can be sold at the price of caviar.
The gimmick is there, the wine is processed from supplied materials, and in the end it all depends on the positioning and craftsmanship of the wine.
Zhang Hongcheng uses the trick of blending liquor into wine, a trick that was popular from the 1990s to the 20th century. He is considered a relatively conscientious businessman.
After all, his wine would be considered a quality product in later generations.
So several of his new winery technicians were former chemistry teachers in the county.
