Chapter 864
"Do you want the 11:30 ticket?" Behind the ticket window, an aunt said without raising her head.
"11:30?" Li Zhixiong thought he heard it wrong, and looked at his watch, it was indeed just after nine o'clock!
"Is there no car in the middle?"
"No, do you want to,"
"Yes, three,"
From the provincial capital to Wuli'ao Town, there is naturally no direct bus, even to the county seat, there are not many buses. After living in the capital for a long time, there are special buses for getting in and out. Li Zhixiong and the three of them are already very unfamiliar with these things. There will be a bus every hour, but I don't know the result now.
The room has already been retreated, the sun is shining brightly outside, the heat is unbearable, the depression is worth mentioning.
Li Zhixiong couldn't help feeling a little resentful, this Jiasheng, is he so awesome now that he doesn't care about building a good relationship with a well-known media like us?
You know, from the fourth quarter of last year to the present, the stock price of our company has performed very well. If the stock price maintains the current upward trend, Mr. Ding of our Dawang%yi will squeeze Feng Yiping from the position of the richest man. Not impossible.
After waiting in the waiting hall for nearly two hours, feeling that their bodies were covered with the smell of sweat and instant noodles, they finally got on the bus to the county seat. Fortunately, the bus was not bad and the air conditioner was strong.
The bus goes all the way from the provincial capital to the north, and what you see along the way is becoming more and more difficult to arouse interest. Later, on both sides of the road, except for trees, there are fields, and some villages can be seen occasionally, but most of them are brick houses. , the three of them didn't last long before they all fell asleep.
In a daze, the car stopped and finally arrived at the county seat.
This is a typical inland town, and the station is also a typical building in the 1950s and 1960s. The original gray exterior wall now looks gray and black, and it is very mottled. It can be used for period dramas without any repairs. .
The sun was too high, and the streets in front of the station were sparsely populated and there were few cars. This was definitely a quiet and peaceful place, but it lacked a bit of vitality.
This time there is no need to buy a ticket, the minibus to Wuli'ao Town is right next to them, and they get on the bus with their luggage, "When are we leaving?"
"We have to wait until the order is full," the driver slept on the driver's seat with his belly like Maitreya Buddha exposed, and the conductor with his head resting on the railing replied in Mandarin with a strong local accent.
Naturally, there is no air conditioner. Li Zhixiong only stayed in the car for less than two minutes, and he felt that it was definitely a steamer. Three, now there are also eight people, "Go or not go,"
"Wait a minute, it's not here yet,"
Li Zhixiong suddenly became angry, "Come on, let's get off,"
"Hey, boss, let's go now," the conductor yelled from behind.
"Then shall we take a taxi?" the assistant asked.
"It's a taxi, but instead of going to Wuli'ao, we'll go to the county government,"
…………
An old bird is an old bird. An hour later, the three of Li Zhixiong and the others were already sitting comfortably in the gold cup car dispatched by the Propaganda Department of the County Party Committee. In addition to a deputy director of the Propaganda Department, there was also an officer accompanying them. In the eyes of many local governments, journalists from Netêse still belong to those who need to be treated well.
However, the Propaganda Department is a little dissatisfied. I will stay in the county for one night, and I will interview the new face of the county tomorrow. It is not too late to go to Wuli'ao, right? But Li Zhixiong's meeting is relatively good at this time. He has no interest in interviewing in this county town that can be seen at a glance, and just wants to go to Wuli'ao immediately.
"In the first few months of this year, our county's GDP has maintained a high growth rate, exceeding the growth rate of most counties in the country...,"
Naturally, there is no need to sleep on this journey. The slow-talking deputy director of the Propaganda Department has been pouring them in on all aspects of the county's situation, and his intentions are self-evident.
Li Zhixiong was not at all interested in what he said. Jinbei was passing through a town at this time. The overall appearance was not comparable to many villages he had been to. He looked at a cement bungalow with a supply and marketing cooperative sign on the door beside the road. , at the dark door, there is a scale with peeling green paint, it feels like returning to the time when I was just born.
"Minister Lu, how long will it take to get to Wuli'ao Town?"
"We are driving by ourselves, and it will take about an hour,"
It takes more than four hours to drive from the provincial capital, and it takes more than an hour and a half to drive from the county to Wuli'ao. Adding up, it takes nearly six hours to go from the provincial capital to Wuli'ao!
This still has to be in the case of driving by yourself. If you rely on public transportation, then, like Li Zhixiong and the others, set off from the provincial capital after breakfast in the morning and rush to Wuli'ao Town. That is, the road will delay a whole day.
And it is clearly indicated on the map that the distance from Chengcheng to Wuli'ao is actually less than 300 kilometers. This traffic situation is really true!
Could it be true that Feng Yiping invested huge sums of money to set up a company in Wuli'ao Town, which was reported in the newspaper?
Li Zhixiong, who has been reporting economic news and is considered an expert, feels that this is not impossible, provided that the person who made the decision had his head caught by a door, and more than once.
Otherwise, regardless of other advantages, who would not invest in a provincial capital with better geographical conditions, instead of going to this valley where the transportation is very inconvenient and there is nothing but poverty and backwardness?
"Do we have any mineral resources here?" Li Zhixiong asked, "There seem to be a lot of large trucks on this road."
"Our county is not rich in mineral resources," Vice Minister Lu shook his head. "The big trucks you mentioned are mostly used to transport raw materials to Wuli'ao, or to transport finished products out."
So it seems that this matter is not false?
Finally, after bumping on the county road for more than an hour, Vice Minister Lu looked at the archway on the road and said, "Here we are!"
Jinbei rounded a bend and overtook a large truck in front. Li Zhixiong and the others saw a small city surrounded by mountains in front of them.
In fact, from the perspective of these people, this city is not very outstanding, but when you look at the green leaves for several hours and suddenly see a small flower, it is naturally very beautiful.
The scale does not seem to be large, but from a distance, it seems that the planning is very good. Judging from the municipal works such as the road at the entrance and the embankment beside the road, it has obviously caught up with most cities in China.
When Jinbei arrived here, he couldn't move. The big trucks in front were lined up and could only move slowly with the flow of traffic. Li Zhixiong already felt that the original reports might be exaggerated, but probably all of them were true. The words were not false, so he signaled, and an assistant immediately asked, "Minister Lu, can you coordinate with the person in charge of Jiasheng here to accept our interview?"
"Hehe, all the staff in the town will definitely cooperate fully with the interview," Vice Minister Lu said haha.
That means that they can't coordinate. It seems that Jiasheng is really awesome here!
Unfortunately, when they arrived, it was just in time for get off work. Crowds of people swarmed out from large and small factories. The wide streets were crowded with people, bicycles, motorcycles, electric vehicles, vans, minibuses, etc. Be full.
Those minibuses are all buses. The conductor stretched out half of his body from the window, patted the bus and shouted, "Let's make way, let's make way, why is it crowded?"
From time to time, some workers flew up and waved to the workers below, "see you tomorrow,"
The large and small restaurants on both sides of the road are full at this time, the waiters are under the wind, holding several dishes in their hands like acrobatics. After a busy day, people finally have leisure. At this time, they are in a very good mood, and most of them are holding Disposable plastic cups filled with beer, eating around the table, chatting and laughing happily.
In other shops of various colors, neon lights flashed on the doors, and the speakers in the shops were fully powered on, advertising vigorously, and in some slightly spacious places, vendors had already set up stalls at every opportunity.
Finally seeing the true face of Lushan, Li Zhixiong and his assistants are rushing to take pictures in the industrial park.
These factories are no different from the most advanced factories they saw at the forefront of reform and opening up. Some factories are also brightly lit at night, and it seems that they are working night shifts. However, the greening of all these factories is really true. A lot of effort has been put into it. How should I put it, ordinary factories can't match it at all, and it's better than the greenery around their headquarters office building.
As the sky was getting dark, Li Zhixiong and the others followed Minister Lu and walked towards the town government on foot. Looking at the bustling scene beside the road, looking back at the modern industrial park that was quite out of tune with this mountainous area, Li Zhixiong said, "It's really here. like..."
"Those economically developed small towns in the south?" Vice Minister Lu continued with a smile, "Hehe, more than one person said that, but it's more than that. Soon, the overall strength of this small town will surpass that of many small towns in the south. , the goal of Wuli'ao Town is to compete with those top 100 counties,"
Li Zhixiong is noncommittal, it's just a small inland remote town, of course, it's always good to be ambitious.
At the gate of the town government, a few people were setting up ladders and holding banners on the door. Reporter Li Zhixiong felt a little refreshed and embarrassed when he saw them, and even held up banners to welcome them. The people below were enthusiastic.
"Mayor Sheng," Deputy Minister Lu greeted Sheng Zheng who was directing the adjustment of the position of the banner in front of the door, "These three are reporters from NetEase,"
"Hello, you three, you have come from a long way, you have worked hard, please come in, we have prepared meals, Minister Lu, please trouble you today,"
"Should be, should be," Vice Minister Lu squinted at the banner above the door, "This is it?"
"You don't know? Yiping will come back tomorrow," Sheng Zheng said with a smile, "You guys, work hard again and pull up all the banners you have prepared. From the streets of the town, to the entrance of the industrial park, to the station, Don't leave behind the archway at the front," he instructed the staff.
"Don't worry, county magistrate," several people carried ladders and chairs, and carried a few rolls of banners, happily walking in the direction where Li Zhixiong and the others came, as if tomorrow was a grand festival.
Li Zhixiong, who was blushing, only saw the words on the banner at this time, "Warmly welcome Yiping home,"
He was a little lucky, fortunately, he was not in a hurry to express his gratitude just now, otherwise there would have been a big oolong.
ps: A group has been established, 454, 231, 228, everyone is welcome to come and give more valuable opinions. I look forward to having the opportunity to communicate with you!
