Chapter 2404: Private Visit

Everyone knows that politics in the United States is actually the politics of capital. Politicians are their elected spokespersons.

And the influence of the fourth child and Su Xi is enough for the Ye family to develop smoothly.

Because of the acquisition of Brother Investment Bank, the Ye family's business scope is now broad enough. However, due to funding issues, development has temporarily reached a bottleneck.

At present, Ye Feng's investment in Northern Xinjiang also involves a lot of financial resources. Therefore, Ye Yuze has no plans to expand on a large scale.

He is also waiting for an opportunity and to accumulate financial resources, although he is not an ambitious person.

But once a person reaches a certain height, everything he sees will be different. What does he not want to control?

However, he will never be someone who wants to be controlled by others. The road is long and far away, I will search up and down.

Therefore, in order not to be controlled by others, he can only passively be the one who controls himself.

In the southern part of Northern Xinjiang, in a remote and barren company, several veteran soldiers were carrying water on crutches. This year's drought has been so severe that the land has cracked.

Grapes are planted in the ground. There are few leaves on the huge root system and they are still listless, as if they want to be carried away by the hot sun.

This place is not only dry, but also lacks soil. It can be seen that the soil around each grape is specially replaced.

Is it that easy to grow things on the Gobi Desert? All the crops need is soil, not this combination of sand and gravel.

In order to bring this soil, the soldiers went through many hardships.

A jeep drove up and rolled up a puff of smoke on the Gobi Desert, like wolf smoke in ancient times, covering the sky and the sun.

Several old soldiers stopped and built a pergola with their hands to watch the approaching car.

The car stopped, and two middle-aged women in professional attire got out of the car. They looked at some old classmates and asked:

"Uncle, how far have you walked to fetch water? Aren't you tired?"

The leader, Wei Mingyuan, blinked his presbyopic eyes and finally saw clearly the appearance of the person coming, and asked:

"Comrade is also a member of the Corps, right?"

Zhao Ling'er asked curiously: "Uncle, how did you see it?"

Wei Mingyuan smiled: "We from the Corps, even if we haven't participated in military training for a day, I can tell them apart at a glance."

An old comrade next to him smiled and explained: "Ever since our old company commander was young, his eyes have been known to the entire corps."

Ma Rong's eyes lit up: "Are you Uncle Wei, Wei Shengqian?"

Wei Mingyuan's dissatisfied and wrinkled face immediately broke into a smile. This title used to be his pride, but no one had called it that for a long time.

"Then which group are you from?"

Wei Mingyuan looked at the two people, full of curiosity.

There are basically no outsiders in this place, let alone people driving here. The herdsmen’s sheep are walking around, mainly because there is no grass.

"We're coming from headquarters."

Zhao Ling'er had experience working in poor areas, and she almost made a big mistake that time. Fortunately, Ye Yuze took action to resolve the crisis.

But Ma Rong was still shocked, looking at the barren land and the low dry fortress houses in the distance in disbelief.

She has never left the regiment field since she was born, and the predecessor of Junken City was not too difficult, so she couldn't accept it.

Wei Mingyuan said "Oh" and suddenly lost the desire to talk. He put down the pole on his shoulder and began to pour the water in the small bucket into the ground.

Several old comrades also performed the same action, and the enthusiasm they had just disappeared suddenly.

Zhao Ling'er had a straight temper and was a little baffled by this sudden change, so she asked:

"Uncle Wei, don't you welcome people from the headquarters?"

Wei Mingyuan glanced at her: "How dare you? Aren't I busy? Let's talk after watering the ground."

What else does Zhao Linger want to say? Ma Rong pulled her. Although she didn't understand what Ma Rong meant, Zhao Ling'er still shut up.

This vineyard is about fifty acres, and it would be impossible for a few old men to carry water like this.

Ma Rong wanted to dissuade them, but in the end she said nothing and silently helped the old people start watering.

Seven old people, fourteen buckets of water, all small buckets, watering a grapevine each time has no effect.

It seems that the old people are obeying fate and doing their best.

After pouring the water, looking at the clear sky without any clouds, Wei Mingyuan sighed, turned around and walked towards the company.

After walking a few steps, he turned around and said to Ma Rong and Zhao Ling'er:

"Come home. Although we have a simple meal, we can't let our comrades go hungry."

Zhao Ling'er and Ma Rong looked at each other, followed silently without driving.

The company is not big, and the architectural style is the same as other companies. They are all townhouses and there is no yard.

It's just that the houses of this company are very dilapidated, and obviously not many people live in them anymore, because many doors and windows are either missing glass, or they don't even have doors at all.

Ma Rong and Zhao Ling'er came from their regiment headquarters, which is the 5th Company of the 32nd Regiment. When they came, they didn't know about this situation.

Ma Rong roughly counted that there were no more than thirty families living here. And there didn’t seem to be any young people.

Ma Rong and Zhao Ling'er were caught off guard by this situation. This private interview on Weibo was actually a last-minute idea.

After taking office, the two men originally wanted to make some big moves, but they were shelved because the amount of funds required was too large.

However, since the conditions for seeking political power in one's position are limited, one can only use steel wisely and find those places that really need help.

Their positions were too high, and they learned a lot from the reports of various units. The careful Ma Rong soon discovered a problem.

That is, the reports from many units were not detailed, and even worse, they were directly falsified.

After discovering this problem, she discussed with Zhao Linger and decided to go down in person.

In order to avoid getting the news from below, they did not bring secretaries and drivers, anyway, the two of them had long been accustomed to driving themselves. So they came directly.

The reason for coming to the south is because Zhao Linger had helped a regiment here and was more familiar with the situation here.

Compared with the north, the climate conditions here are much worse, and the bad climate conditions naturally lead to bad living conditions.

After all, the main business of the Corps is either farming or animal husbandry, and in the south, animal husbandry is basically impossible, and they can only rely on farming.

Both of them have read the annual report of the 32nd Regiment, which said that the situation is very good, what leaders set an example, and the employees work together. Today, the GDP of the 32nd Regiment has created a historical high of 30 million.

Therefore, the Corps now distributes production to households, and these things they have no way to understand at the headquarters.

After all, the output value is all grain, and the grain is sold by the workers themselves. How much did they collect? How much did they sell? All they see is the report.

This situation has caused some grassroots units to be eager for success and report good news but not bad news.

After all, only when the economy improves can the positions of their subordinates be stable and have channels for promotion.

As for the inspection by the superiors, the Corps today is not the same as those military reclamation people in the area. Many problems and habits in the local area have been transmitted to the Corps.

It is good for everyone to eat and drink well when people come to inspect. As for whether to go to the company or not, it depends on their mood.

Ma Rong and her team investigated and dealt with several of these situations at the beginning of their tenure. That was because some workers petitioned and made a lot of noise, so they reported it to them.

But in the south where the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, it is estimated that the workers can't find a place to complain.

When they went to the regiment headquarters, they did not reveal their identities. They just said that they were technicians from the Agricultural Research Institute and came here to find suitable land to grow a new variety of grapes.

They didn't see the main leaders because a clerk waved his hand and told them that rabbits don't shit here, so don't bother here, and then sent them away.

The two did not get angry, but chose to go directly to the company. Although they had never been here, they were more familiar with the organization of the Corps than anyone else.

As a result, they came to the fifth company by accident, and then saw Wei Mingyuan and others.

Wei Mingyuan's wife is from Sichuan. When she saw Wei Mingyuan coming back, she started nagging, saying that he was so old, why did he always make things difficult for her?

After mumbling for a long time, she found Zhao Linger and Ma Rong behind her wife, and then she changed her face and greeted them with a smile.

Wei Mingyuan ordered with a stern face: "Make more food, the two comrades want to eat at our house."

Because his attitude was a bit stiff, Zhao Linger was unhappy:

"We will pay for the meal at your house, you should be nicer."

Wei Mingyuan was even more stubborn than her: "You came willingly, I didn't invite you."

Zhao Linger glared: "You old comrade, why didn't you invite me to someone else's house, but came to your house?"

Ma Rong was about to persuade him. But Wei Mingyuan's wife laughed, pointed at the old man and scolded:

"You have brought the people back, but you still want to make them unhappy, what are you trying to do?"

Wei Mingyuan stopped talking, and his wife went to cook swiftly.

The staple food of people here is basically steamed buns, which are ready.

The wife fried a few dishes, and their life was okay, after all, both of them had pensions.

Generally speaking, Sichuan people are better at cooking, and the fried twice-cooked pork, mapo tofu, and minced pork beans made the two people eat with relish.

But Wei Mingyuan was obviously upset and didn't want to pay attention to them, let alone get wine.

The two of them didn't care. They had already eaten. Why would they fight with an old comrade?

After eating and drinking, Zhao Linger took out the money and handed it to Wei Mingyuan's wife, but she said she didn't want anything.

The two of them pushed and shirked for a long time, and Wei Mingyuan got angry:

"Are you here to eat or to irritate people? Have you ever seen a comrade from the Corps come to your home for dinner and charge money? Are you slapping me in the face?"

Zhao Linger directly confronted him: "You keep looking so gloomy, as if I owe you a lot of money. If you don't pay for the meal, I'm afraid you will be heartbroken!"

Ma Rong looked at the two people helplessly, not knowing what to say?

Wei Mingyuan was the first to give in, muttering quietly:

"I'm not targeting you."

Zhao Linger: "Who are you targeting? You're like this when we talk about the headquarters?"

Wei Mingyuan: "I'm targeting those high-ranking officials. They messed up a regiment like this, but they still won awards. Can't the headquarters see it?"

Ma Rong's heart sank at this, and she immediately asked:

"Uncle Wei, tell me the details."

Wei Mingyuan's wife quickly interrupted: "He likes to talk nonsense when he drinks a little. Don't listen to him."

At this point, the wife remembered that the old man didn't drink just now. It was a little awkward.

Wei Mingyuan rolled a Mohe cigarette and glanced at Ma Rong:

"Just say it, you have seen the situation of our company, and it's still a good situation? Almost everyone in the company has left, and no one has come to ask! Can we wait until everyone in this company has left before we can be rated as an excellent company or something?"

Seeing the old man's strong resentment, Zhao Linger's expression suddenly became serious, and she took out a notebook and pen directly:

"Uncle Wei, if there is any situation, please tell me, and I will help you report to the headquarters truthfully."

Zhao Linger's performance frightened Wei Mingyuan's wife at once, and she raised her voice to Wei Mingyuan and shouted:

"Wei Mingyuan, how much have you suffered in your life because of this mouth? You are already retired, do you still want to bring trouble to the children?"

The words of his wife made Wei Mingyuan, who was originally passionate, stop his voice. Yes, although he is not afraid of anything, at this age, he really can't afford any more mishaps to the children.

Zhao Linger suddenly became angry, and just as she was about to continue to say a few words to Wei Mingyuan, she was stopped by Ma Rong with her eyes.

Wei Mingyuan's wife's eyes were full of worry, and she couldn't bear to let an old man be frightened again.

After leaving the house, Zhao Linger asked unconvincedly:

"Why are you stopping me? I don't believe I can do whatever I want in the Corps."

Ma Rong shook her head: "Let's change our identities and come back. In some cases, open plots are more effective than secret plots."

Zhao Linger was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what Ma Rong meant, so she didn't bother anymore. She returned to the car and left.

Three days later, people from the headquarters and the division came to form a joint investigation team, and the matter of the 32nd Regiment was quickly investigated.

Because the main leaders had engaged in fraud and deceived their superiors and subordinates. All were dismissed. Considering the actual situation of the 5th Company, the organization was abolished.

Everyone was merged into the regiment headquarters, and the housing and work issues involved in the process were coordinated and resolved by the regiment headquarters.

When the people of the 5th Company began to move, Zhao Linger and Ma Rong appeared at Wei Mingyuan's house again.

At this time, the old man had already known their identities, and he couldn't help but feel mixed emotions.

As for the population that had left, Zhao Linger and Ma Rong asked Wei Mingyuan to contact them. Those who were willing to come back would receive the same treatment, and those who were unwilling to come back could not be forced to come back.

After a detailed investigation, it was discovered that the 32nd Regiment was the most economically backward in the entire Corps.

However, it was whitewashed by some people and used data to make it an advanced regiment. This matter is a joke, but this kind of joke is really not funny.

Ma Rong and Zhao Linger did not leave. Since they wanted to do something, they naturally had to start from the grassroots level, and the location of the 32nd Regiment was very close to a port in a neighboring country.

The two people opened up their ideas from this aspect. You know, in fact, Junken City started with foreign trade. And the profits of international trade are generally higher than domestic sales.

After a detailed investigation, they decided to produce agricultural machinery. The port here is another country in Central Asia, so it does not conflict with the market of Junken City.

Brothers, charge! The charge has been sounded
