Section 314: Head Secretary Goes South
Soon Li Cong's report was on the table of the No. 1 head of the People's Republic of China. What on earth is this kid going to do? He wants to contract the Taklamakan Desert at an annual price of 5 billion yuan, and he doesn't need underground resources. You don't need to use this trick if you have a lot of burning hands. What's so good about the desert Wututu? Can he find gold from the sand? Impossible, does the energy group have any big plans?
The central government held a meeting of the Politburo overnight because of Li Cong's affairs. Li Cong's report did not say anything. It can be said that such a condition is really beneficial to the government, but the government has always been relatively conservative. If you don’t say what you are doing, you must not give you the desert. What if you conduct nuclear tests there.
The big bosses in the government have studied for several days and don’t know what Li Cong wants to do with that desert. Now that the government’s fiscal deficit is expanding, the pragmatists headed by the Minister of Finance demand that the central government contract the desert to Li Cong, and what he said is very Well, if you sign a 20-year contract at one time, you can hand over the contract money at one time, and you will never use that piece of land for construction. You can build it so that someone can buy it. There are no such stupid people who go to the desert to buy a house.
Not only is the central government wondering, but even the bigwigs inside the energy group disagree with Li Cong's spending 5 billion yuan to contract a useless desert, and Li Cong also wants the group's personnel department to recruit a group of farmers as soon as possible. In the hundreds of thousands, according to Tektronix's calculations, if the number of people in large-scale mechanized agricultural production in the United States is divided by three, 500,000 employees will need to look after 100 million acres of land, which is equivalent to each person looking after 200 acres of land. In theory, it can reach 300 acres per month, but Li Cong still feels that it is better to do sufficient preparations, so as to save himself from being caught when the time comes.
It's useless to object. The leaders of the energy group also know that Li Cong may have some new ideas. Anyway, his boss will always give them some surprises. Maybe this is another breakthrough after the power production. After thinking about this, most people agreed with the boss's approach, but the boss wants to relocate hundreds of thousands of people to the desert, which is a difficult task. Who would want to go to that place if they have nothing to do? Besides, they can guarantee food and drink for 500,000 people Lazar's is no small project.
The matter is of great importance, the secretary of the No. 1 head immediately went south to Qingdao, on behalf of the No. 1 head to have a final discussion with Li Cong, the timing was really coincidental, the secretary's plane just arrived at Qingdao, and Jiang Qinglan's plane arrived at the back. The door to Li Cong's office is also a front and back, so let's do things together, and Jiang Qinglan is also a high-level executive of the company, so there is no need to hide this matter from her.
The secretary of Chief No. 1 is a middle-aged man in his forties, named Wang Weiguo. Li Cong is a person who does not understand politics, so he naturally does not know the skills of this uncle. Many times, the chief will discuss some national policies with this uncle. It can be said that he is The chief think tank of the Republic, generally speaking, the chairman will not send him out if there is no important matter. After all, there must be someone beside the chairman. There are two reasons for him to come to Qingdao to negotiate with Li Cong this time. First, he has reached the boundary. When they are going to retire, these people who are with them should also go out for a while, make friends with some dignitaries, and pave the way for them to go from behind the scenes to the front stage in the future. Secondly, Li Cong's status is not as good as before, and it doesn't mean that he will come to Beijing if he is asked to come. Yes, you have to give him a certain amount of respect, and give the Skull and Bones a certain amount of respect.
"Mr. Wang, please sit down. This is Ms. Jiang Qinglan, the vice president of our company and the president of the New Hyatt Group. If you have anything to say, just talk about it." Li Cong understood his concerns when he saw that Secretary Wang was not talking about business. What's the matter, Jiang Qinglan's background is clear to the central government. It's not an absolute secret to rent out the desert, but what Li Cong uses it for is an absolute secret. It seems difficult to talk about it with such a person present.
That's why I said such words to reassure Secretary Wang. Strictly speaking, Secretary Wang is probably the only outsider in this room.
Jiang Qinglan originally wanted to talk to Li Cong about her problems, and originally wanted to make things difficult for him, but now that she sees herself as such an important person, she even raised herself a level and became the vice president of the group. I know how many people and the secret agent of the No. 1 chief can't wait to dig a hundred meters to the bottom. If you don't carry your back now, even if you feel wronged, it's worth it. At this time, the IQ of women is really low.
"It turned out to be Ms. Jiang. I often see Ms. Jiang in some financial magazines. Mr. Li, no wonder the chairman usually says that your energy group has a lot of talents. Since Mr. Li said that, I will say it directly. , the chairman just wants to know one thing, that is, what are you doing with the desert, and the other chairmen don't want to ask." Sure enough, the people around the chairman are full of arrogance. In this Chinese society, five thousand years of history are here. , no matter how capable you are, you are still a businessman, no matter how inferior I am, I am also an official, this is the iron law.
Li Cong first showed Jiang Qinglan the plan on the table, so that the girl wouldn't know what she was talking about and couldn't talk to herself for a while. Seeing the current posture, Li Cong also understood that if she didn't make it clear to the central government If that is the case, I am afraid that my plan will be difficult to carry out, and I have thrown a lot of bait, but the head of No. 1 is not easy to fool, I would rather not earn your five billion yuan, as long as I understand, their superiors I can't control Li Cong anymore, I can only strengthen my understanding of him, but the No. 1 chief will always remember Li Cong's appearance when he said that I am Chinese, so the government compromised with Skull and Bones, otherwise, according to the previous government's I can't control the way of doing things, and I can't make you get up.
"Mr. Wang, I have a plan here. Look at it. The purpose of my wanting that desert is very simple. I want to use it to produce food and produce a large amount of food. Maybe I will become the largest food producer in the world in the future." " Jiang Qinglan and Secretary Wang's expressions should be richer and richer, what is this nonsense, food from the desert? Could it be that the knowledge I learned in elementary school is all nonsense? That desert is better than arable land?
I don't care about Li Cong being the world's largest grain merchant, Secretary Wang, but you must have your own production base. If you buy the Northeast grain base from the state, it is still possible, but the state will not sell it. A desert is going to be a grain merchant? Is it because I didn't wake up or you didn't wake up?
At this time, Jiang Qinglan held back her great curiosity and read it bit by bit. She felt that this was not a plan formulated by a large international company. It was like a Grimm's fairy tale. What absorbed the energy of the sun? The tree is the same, and the yield is 1,000 kilograms per mu, and the taste is good. If this plan can be implemented, then Yuan Longping, the father of hybrid rice, may feel that his invention cannot be compared with Li Cong.
The country's total wheat production this year is only 100 million tons, which is the output of 800 to 900 million mu of arable land. If you break the desert, you need to harvest twice a year, and the yield per mu is 1,000 kilograms, which means 200 million tons a year. One-third of the international output, if there is this output, the cultivated land in some economically developed areas in the interior can be sold completely, and there is no need for the country to shout the slogan of killing 1.8 billion mu of cultivated land every year, and the whole of China will come to eat it Li Cong is fine.
