Chapter 260 Marching Into the Great Northern Wilderness

"Okay, please slow down, your stomach won't be able to bear it for a while. How many days have you not eaten?"

Qin Hao watched Zheng Tong munching the steamed buns and couldn't help but speak out to dissuade him.

Zheng Tong took a sip of the porridge, and then he regained consciousness. He exhaled and said, "I haven't had a full meal in half a year for how many days."

As he said that, Zheng Tong glanced at the educated youth who were dining: "Do you eat like this every day?"

Qin Hao did not answer, but picked up the remaining steamed buns: "It's not that I can't bear to part with a few steamed buns. I've been hungry for too long, and eating like this will cause problems. When you come, you can eat these as you like."

"Eat whatever you want? Is that enough?" Zheng Tong swallowed.

Qin Hao nodded: "Well, that's enough, I won't miss this little ration."

Zheng Tong put his hands into his sleeves and his eyes suddenly turned red: "To tell you the truth, before I came here, I thought you would humiliate me. After all,"

Qin Hao raised his hand to interrupt: "Okay, just that little thing. Are you tired from remembering for so long? Just work hard when you come. Our goal is not just to eat enough for ourselves, but also to let more people eat." People have enough to eat.”

If it were in the past, Zheng Tong would definitely think that Qin Hao was singing a high-key tune to win over people's hearts. However, judging from Qin Hao's actions, he was indeed moving towards this goal.

With this kind of heart, Zhong Yuemin is not even qualified to carry Qin Hao's shoes. This time Zheng Tong is completely convinced.

"Can you give me some more steamed buns? Jiang Biyun is still hungry."

Zheng Tong requested before walking out of the cafeteria.

Qin Hao walked to the cafeteria window: "Take ten steamed buns and wrap them in gauze."

Zheng Tong carried ten steamed buns back to the village despite the heavy snow. He stuffed the buns into his clothes and covered them all the way, but they were still as frozen as stone.

But when Zheng Tong took out the steamed buns, the educated youth immediately burst into cheers.

"Okay, Lao Zheng, white flour steamed buns, where did you get them?"

"Take it out and heat it up quickly. We haven't eaten these white flour buns in a while."

Only Jiang Biyun knew what Zheng Tong was doing. She waited until everyone swarmed into the kitchen and said to Zheng Tong.

"when are we leaving?"

"Hurry, you can go to work after adjusting the files."

There was no joy on Jiang Biyu's face, but her eyes were red and she said, "That's good."

Zheng Tong was puzzled: "What's wrong with you?"

Jiang Biyun suddenly pounced on Zheng Tong and bit him hard through the cotton-padded clothes: "You went to the factory so stupidly to be honest with me. If I find out that you are messing around with women, see how I deal with you!"

Zheng Tong gritted his teeth in pain: "How jealous are you? How can I provoke others while you are watching?"

"What do you mean?" Jiang Biyun's IQ is not low, and later she was admitted to college with Zheng Tong through self-study.

"I asked Qin Hao for two places. We can both go to work in the educated youth factory." Zheng Tong whispered.

Jiang Biyun suddenly cried with joy: "Is everything you said true?"

"How could I lie to you about such a thing?"

At this time, the steamed buns were hot, and the educated youth came to ask them to eat. After all, Zheng Tong brought the steamed buns.

"Sister Biyun, what's wrong with you?"

Jiang Biyun wiped her tears and said perfunctorily: "No, it's nothing, I just feel a little homesick."

The other party didn't think much about it.

Jiang Biyun looked at the other party's figure, feeling inexplicably guilty, but there were only two places, so she could only follow Zheng Tong and leave quietly.

"Suddenly I understand Zhong Yuemin a little bit. If it were me, I would probably make the same choice."

Zheng Tong spat: "Bah, Zhong Yuemin is a coward. He only thinks about himself when things happen. We are such a good buddy, but he ran away without saying a word. How can he compare with Qin Hao? Today I just This is an insight into what a pattern is and what a big mind is."

Jiang Biyun couldn't help laughing: "I remember you said before that you and Qin Hao are sworn enemies."

"Personal grudges are nothing in the face of ** justice."

"Pfft, I just like your shameless look."

Zheng Tong:.

Three days later, Zheng Tong and Jiang Biyun finally arrived at the Educated Youth Factory. They registered, assigned dormitories, and distributed some daily necessities. This made the two of them feel like they were in another world.

Zheng Tong was a good talker, so Qin Hao placed him in the sales department, while Jiang Biyun was placed in the finance department.

That afternoon, Qin Hao also held a management meeting.

"I believe everyone has seen that the grain production in our county is far from meeting our production needs. Coupled with the inconvenience of transportation, our transportation costs are also very high, so it is imperative to go abroad."

No one has an opinion on this, and everyone is well aware of the situation in the factory.

"There are two questions now, where are we going, and where can we go." After Qin Hao finished speaking, he sat down and there was a lot of discussion in the conference room.

Where to go is subjective, where to go is passive.

Despite the fact that the government has issued management measures for the establishment of collective enterprises by educated youth, in fact, across the country, the number of enterprises actually established by educated youth can be counted on one hand.

On the one hand, the educated youth had no original capital and could not afford to start a business. On the other hand, there were more policy restrictions. The reason why the county leaders gave Qin Hao the green light to start a business was because Qin Hao had been given the green light to start a business since the beginning. It has brought political achievements, but other local leaders are not so easy to talk to.

"Go to Xi'an. After all, it is the provincial capital. It will definitely develop faster than this."

"No, no, Shaanxi and northern Shaanxi are not grain-producing areas. Let's go to Suzhou and Hangzhou. There is plenty of grain there and the cost will definitely be low."

Everyone was arguing and the discussion was very intense, but no one could convince anyone. There was no other way. In the end, they could only turn their attention to Qin Hao and let him make the decision.

Qin Hao directly took out a newspaper, which contained a report about the "Great Northern Wilderness".

"There are two reasons for choosing Beidahuang. First, there are a large number of educated youths here who are reclaiming farmland. Second, I have asked people to understand the policies there. As long as they are willing to work hard to build Beidahuang, they are welcome there. We Once we get there, we can set up the factory as quickly as possible."

"Director Qin, we all listen to you."

"You have the final say, we just follow you."

After more than a year of getting along, everyone has almost superstitious trust in Qin Hao, and no one questions Qin Hao's decision-making.

Qin Hao suppressed his gesture and waited for everyone to calm down before continuing.

"Although we are going out, we cannot lose the fundamentals here, not to mention there are so many educated youths who rely on factories for their livelihood. My idea is to bring only some technical backbones and management staff there, and the rest will stay here temporarily until then. Let’s wait until it stabilizes.”

Without waiting for many managers to express their opinions, Qin Hao directly named them.

"Ning Yu, Qin Ling, Zhang Yu, Liang Hansen and others are coming with me. I will leave the factory to Deputy Director Zhou. His words are mine. Do you understand?"

Deputy Factory Director Zhou was promoted by Qin Hao. He is relatively steady in his work. He usually arranges the factory's production.

Everyone has no objections to this. This is also the benefit of the new team. No factions have yet been formed.

After half a month of sorting out, Qin Hao and his group of more than 20 people finally boarded the train to the Northeast.

"Beidahuang" used to refer to the vast barren area in northern Heilongjiang in the Sanjiang Plain, the Heilongjiang River Plain and the Nenjiang River Basin. This place has not been desolate and uncultivated since ancient times. The Jurchens who once defeated the Liao and Northern Song Dynasties lived and developed here. However, there is still a large amount of wasteland. In the 1940s, it was still an inaccessible desert.

Since 1958, Beidahuang has entered a period of large-scale development. Tens of thousands of demobilized officers and soldiers, educated youth and revolutionary cadres responded to the call and came to the "Great Northern Wilderness" with the lofty ambition to build the frontier. They climbed on the ice and slept in the snow, drained the swamps and reclaimed the wasteland. After ten years of construction, they have issued Effectiveness.

Of course, the "Beidahuang" at this time was far from the scale of the "Beidacang" in later generations. There was still a large amount of wasteland that was not cultivated, and a large number of educated youth were sent to the "Beidahuang" almost every year.

On the train that Qin Hao and his party took, 80% were educated youths who went to the countryside, and the vast majority of them came from Qilu.

Just like Qin Hao and others before they arrived in northern Shaanxi, these educated youths were still very excited. They felt that going to the countryside was a vast world with great potential, and they were all thinking about a fulfilling and beautiful future.

Ning Yu looked at these educated youths and whispered to Qin Hao: "Brother Hao, why do I feel like I'm back two years ago?"

Qin Hao did not answer, but Qin Ling and the others nodded in agreement. Seeing these educated youths, it was like seeing themselves two years ago.

Zheng Tong leaned lazily on his seat and sighed: "Oh, I hope their mental quality is better than Wang Mingyu."

Everyone's faces were a little gloomy. Wang Mingyu was also an educated youth who went to the countryside with them. Later, he couldn't bear it after staying for less than a month, so he ran away secretly. He suffered a lot before returning to the capital. As a result, he was reported by his neighbors and was arrested again. He was sent back to northern Shaanxi, and the county criticized him as a model. Wang Mingyu couldn't bear it and went crazy.

Perhaps seeing that Qin Hao and his gang were a little out of tune with them, a tall man with a Chinese character asked curiously.

"Where are you educated youth from?"

Zheng Tong was the best at talking, so he started chatting with the other party.

When he learned that Qin Hao and the others were educated youths from the capital, Guozixian's eyes lit up: "Are you from the capital? Have you ever been to Tiananmen?"

When he said this, the educated youths nearby also came over curiously.

Zheng Tong had not enjoyed this kind of treatment for a long time, so he suddenly became interested and began to talk nonsense, which confused these educated youths who had never been to the capital.

"Comrade, my name is Zhao Hongbing. Nice to meet you." The tall man with a Chinese character shook Zheng Tong's hand enthusiastically.

Zheng Tong suddenly realized that he seemed to have stolen the leader's limelight. He smiled and took out his hand, and then introduced to educated youths like Zhao Hongbing: "Ahem, this is our factory director Qin Hao. Yes, he is the one who has taken the internal reference examination. that."

"Are you Qin Hao?"

"Is he Qin Hao?"

Suddenly, all the educated youths in the carriage rushed over. There was no other way. Qin Hao's reputation among the educated youth group was so great that even those who had not read the newspaper had heard of his deeds.

Qin Hao instantly felt as if he was being imprisoned in a zoo, and couldn't help but glared at Zheng Tong fiercely.

"Comrade Qin Hao, I heard that you have successfully established a factory and provided hundreds of jobs. Is it true?"

"Comrade Qin Hao, isn't your factory in northern Shaanxi? What are you planning to do in Northeast China this time?"

Qin Hao was almost overwhelmed by all kinds of messy questions. He had no choice but to stand on his seat and shout.

"Dear educated youth comrades, the train is running now. It is easy to cause accidents if everyone gathers together. Please return to your seats first. I will answer your questions one by one."

After shouting several times, these educated youths retreated, but those without seats immediately blocked Qin Hao.

In order for the educated youth to see him, Qin Hao had no choice but to stand on his seat and answer questions.

"First of all, our educated youth factory has provided more than 600 jobs in northern Shaanxi and has provided more than 50,000 yuan in tax revenue to the local finance."

The two numbers in succession made the educated youth present a little confused. After half a minute, noisy discussion came from the carriage.

"My God, there are more than 600 jobs, but our county's steel rolling mill only has more than 400 people."

"If you contribute 50,000 yuan in tax, how much will this turnover cost? I'll be a good boy."

When Qin Ling and the others faced the surprised gazes of the educated youths, they felt proud, with proud smiles on their faces.

After everyone gradually calmed down, Qin Hao answered some questions from the educated youth about the purpose of their trip.

"We are going to Beidahuang this time to build a branch factory in Beidahuang and expand production."

Before he finished speaking, an educated youth suddenly shouted: "Director Qin, can we join your factory as workers?"

Suddenly the carriage became a mess. Although the educated youths all have the enthusiasm to build rural areas, who can resist the temptation of working in a factory as a worker?

They were rushing toward Qin Hao one by one. If Ning Yu and the others hadn't stopped them, they might have torn Qin Hao apart.

"Quiet, everyone, listen to me first. In principle, our educated youth factory will give priority to recruiting those educated youth who have been in the countryside for a long time. The specific situation will not be determined until we arrive in Beidahuang." Qin Hao quickly stated.

"Besides, we are only conducting inspections now, and it will take a long time before the factory is built and put into production, so we cannot agree to your request for the time being. I hope everyone can understand."

Everyone thought it made sense when they heard it, but they were a little disappointed and no longer as enthusiastic as before.

Qin Hao also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After three days and three nights, Qin Hao and his party finally arrived in Heilongjiang. As soon as they exited the platform, they saw people from the Educated Youth Affairs Office guarding the exit.

"Uncle Lin, long time no see."

In front of a jeep, Qin Hao and a middle-aged man in military uniform hugged each other.

Lin Xibai was an old subordinate of Qin Hao's father. After he changed his career, he led a team to reclaim farmland in Beidahuang. It was also because of his relationship that Qin Hao chose to build a factory in Beidahuang this time.

"Haha, yes. The last time I saw you, you were not even close to my waist. In a blink of an eye, you are already a grown man. Yes, Uncle Lin has read about you in the newspaper. You are more ambitious than our family. That brat is much better." Lin Xibai patted Qin Hao's shoulder enthusiastically.
