Zhang Jiaqiang briefly explained what the village chief had done.
An angry Zhou Lusheng slammed the table, "It's the presence of such bad people in the team that makes it difficult for the people to live a good life. If this continues, the consequences will be disastrous. The foundation will collapse, but the superstructure will still be stable?"
Old man Xie patted his arm and said, "Stop complaining and let the people below solve the problem."
Zhou Lusheng nodded and said, "Now it seems that there are also problems in the villages and towns. I must check carefully this time. Is there a candidate for the new village head of your village, Jiaqiang?"
Zhang Jiaqiang said Zhigang's name and briefly introduced his character and abilities.
Zhou Lusheng nodded and said, "I will arrange for someone to inspect it, if..."
Old Man Xie sneered, "Aren't you tired of worrying about the selection of a village chief?"
Zhou Lusheng said seriously, "I hold both watermelons and sesame seeds. I have to take care of everything no matter how big or small. Don't underestimate a village chief. He can decide whether hundreds of people have enough food, clothing and happiness. Is this a trivial matter?"
"Eat noodles, eat noodles, I'm retired, I can't keep these things in my mind, I just have to use my spare energy for my hometown!"
While everyone was eating noodles, Zhang Jiaqiang winked at Xiaozhen and asked him to take care of the two old people, and then went out to check out.
As soon as he reached the bar, a cigarette was handed over his shoulder.
"Director Zhang, we are from the same family. It is better to meet by chance than to know each other. We are destined, we are destined, haha!"
Zhang Yongzhong held a cigarette and a lighter in his hands, smiling with all the crow's feet on his face.
Zhang Jiaqiang smiled back, gently took back the cigarette, and looked around, "I don't know how. Boss Zhang's store is quite large. Is there usually a lot of customer flow?"
"How dare I call myself boss in front of you? You can just call me Yongzi. This store is just fine. My main energy is not here..."
Zhang Jiaqiang saw that he had a charming smile on his face and was careful to accompany him everywhere. He felt that people must ask for something when being polite, so he interrupted him at the right time.
"Okay, I'll take the time to talk to you some other time. Don't keep the old man waiting. My checkout person has left!"
Zhang Yongzhong pretended to be angry, "What's the bill? Why do you look down on me? I still care about this little money. Just leave. I will set up a table tomorrow and we two brothers will have a good chat. I asked my two little sisters to accompany me. whee!"
There was a wink and a hint of temptation in his tone.
Zhang Jiaqiang randomly took out a few bills, which were only a lot more than the money for the meal anyway. He put them on the bar and smiled calmly.
"We agreed today that I will treat two elderly people. If you don't let me spend the money, wouldn't it mean that I am not sincere in my filial piety? In this way, if you treat me another day, I will not rush to pay the bill. Let's leave it to the head office!"
Zhang Yong was furious in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, so he had to say.
"Then, let's leave each other's phone numbers so we can keep in touch!"
Zhang Jiaqiang had no choice but to leave his phone number and leave in a hurry.
Zhao Jianqiang parked the car at the door and waited.
The two old men had already left the gate first and were about to get in the car.
Zhou Lusheng looked up at the hotel sign and suddenly said.
"There's a nightclub above this hotel. It's really chaotic!"
Zhao Jianqiang saw sweat on his forehead and said hurriedly.
"That was contracted out, not run by Lao Zhang himself. We usually strictly supervise these places, and there will definitely be no problems!"
When Zhou Lusheng saw Zhang Jiaqiang coming out, he got into the car and said, "We must supervise it carefully. This kind of place is the easiest place to harbor dirt and evil. If you just follow me...hey, just drive away!"
It was close to the suburbs, and the car turned onto the national highway. There were few vehicles on the road, and it immediately started speeding straight towards the seaside.
As the faint smell of the sea wafts over, the coastline with white waves and sandy beaches appears in sight.
Looking around, there is a wide open space all around, and there are white flowers everywhere as far as the eye can see.
It's not waves, it's salt on the ground.
Sparse weeds are the only vegetation here.
The sea breeze blows, bringing up countless jade-like salts and weeds, making people afraid to open their eyes.
Looking further into the distance, two hills stand like a pair of vases on this wasteland.
The wasteland suddenly became narrower due to the constraints of the hills. Viewed from the air, it looked like a lady's long skirt was tied tightly by a belt.
The car got off the dirt road and stopped under a hill.
The car door opened and Zhou Lusheng got out of the car first, pointing his hand in the distance and drawing a circle.
"This area is full of everything. Whatever you plant, nothing will grow. Whatever you raise, nothing will survive. Since I took office, I have used all methods including flushing, irrigation, and vegetation improvement. Still like that, it is more stubborn than psoriasis. Ahem, cough, who cares? Let it be close to the sea!"
Old man Xie also came from the seaside, but comparing there to here is simply a world away.
He looked far into the distance and sighed, "Old Zhou, don't you feel guilty for selling this place for 10 million for a place like this where rabbits don't poop?"
Zhou Lusheng's old face turned red, "I know it's not worth it. We don't agree to build roads, and we still follow the foreign company policy of three exemptions and two deductions!"
Old man Xie shook his head and said, "We have a strong family. Listen to me. Don't throw money here. If there is a storm, you won't be able to open your eyes. This kind of saline-alkali land is so solid that it's hard to lay the foundation. Old Zhou, you If you are serious about investing, find a reliable place!"
Zhou Lusheng nodded and said, "There are some elsewhere, but they are more expensive. Let's go and have a look!"
The group of people got on the bus again, but Zhang Jiaqiang asked them to walk around the land before leaving.
Everyone could see that he didn't want to give up, but no one tried to persuade him.
After a full circle from here, the car turned onto the dirt road again, bumping along the way for more than half an hour before stopping again.
This area generally looks like a flat land in a valley, with white rocks exposed on both sides of the mountains. The vegetation is quite sparse, as pitiful as a few hairs on a bald head.
Comparing the two sides, the area here is slightly smaller, but it is not a saline-alkali land. It is just very barren and arid, a bit like a small Gobi Desert.
The car stopped, and old man Xie got out of the car and kicked the stones on the ground and said, "This side is better than that side. There are mountains on both sides to block the wind. It's warm in winter and cool in summer. It's a drought spot. If we divert tap water, everything will be solved!"
Zhou Lusheng nodded and said, "Yes, this place is indeed suitable for building a factory. It is also close to the highway, but the flat land area is smaller, only about four square kilometers, about five or six thousand acres!"
Zhang Jiaqiang walked around and looked around, and even climbed halfway up the mountain to see the whole thing.
They found that the land was like a gourd, with its mouth near the road and its base under the mountain. The waist of the gourd was where they were.
It is a bit small to be used as an industrial base. Due to the influence of the mountain, it is not easy to develop outside.
After coming down the mountain, he asked, "How much does this piece of land cost? Does it cost 10 million?"
Zhou Lusheng said, "If the mountains on both sides of this land are included, the overall area will be much larger, and the location will be much better. We can't give it for 10 million, but at least 1,500!"
Can a large factory building be built on the mountain? How much would it cost to level the mountain?
Old man Xie glanced at him sideways and said to Zhang Jiaqiang, "Jiaqiang, there are pros and cons to both sides. You should look at it carefully before making your decision. If it doesn't work, look elsewhere!"
Zhou Lusheng said, "If there were more suitable ones elsewhere, I would have taken you there a long time ago. Do you think I am a fruit seller who will remember to sell the bad ones first?"
Zhang Jiaqiang nodded and said, "Okay, I want it!"
"Where do you want it?" Zhou Lusheng asked.
"Of course I want both sides!"
