As the train moved forward, the old man did not talk about his own affairs. A well-informed old man would not easily cause trouble for himself. In this world, who can tell clearly? If you are not careful, what will happen to you will happen. , if he told them all, he might get into big trouble. Besides, he was not very familiar with Zhou Tianhao and Zheng Qin. They met by chance on the train, and they didn't know each other's identities.
Zhou Tianhao didn't continue to ask. Zheng Qin was a little curious. He felt that the old man was thinking about what he wanted to say, but he didn't speak. He didn't know why. At this time, the young man also came back, carrying the instant noodles. The old man said to Zhou Tianhao and Zheng Qin smiled and started eating instant noodles.
The young man has been secretly looking at Zheng Qin, which makes Zhou Tianhao feel funny. It seems that beautiful girls are popular everywhere. They are gentle ladies and gentlemen.
While the old man and the young man were eating instant noodles, Zhou Tianhao stood up, walked to the middle of the carriage, and lit a cigarette. He had a vague feeling that the old man must have encountered some problem, and this problem was probably caused by the obstruction of the government department. It is currently impossible to judge whether the disturbance is right or wrong. However, when such things happen, it is usually caused by the inability of government departments to sincerely serve the people.
Although Zhou Tianhao has served as deputy secretary of the Municipal Party Committee and acting mayor of Shaoning City, he knows nothing about the specific situation of Shaoning City. What are the customs, specialties, and advantages of that place? Before, he took time to go to the office to collect information about Shaoning City, but there was very little information on all aspects. What can be found is the year-end summary materials. Such materials are not of much interest. They are all official articles that report good news but not bad news. It's a joke to rely on work summaries to grasp the situation, especially for an economically underdeveloped place like Shaoning City.
He once accompanied Song Gonglun to Shaoning City for investigation, but he didn¡¯t see any special features. The only county-level development zone was called Qimiao Development Zone. This development zone is mainly focused on attracting investment. Unfortunately, it seems that no large enterprises have been recruited in the development zone. Most of them are local small and medium-sized enterprises. However, the construction of the development zone is somewhat impressive, especially the district committee area of ??the development zone. Government office building. It looked very luxurious. Zhou Tianhao remembered that Song Gonglun didn't look very good after seeing this office building. The roads in the development zone are very wide. It can be seen that the municipal party committee and the government are determined to build this development zone. At that time, Zhou Tianhao also wanted to understand the situation carefully. Why can't a development zone with location advantages and preferential policies be built? Why are there so few companies settling in the development zone?
You need to know what you are doing, especially when you are the main person in charge of the government. If you take office in Shaoning City and are led by others, or are forced to adapt to some unspoken rules of Shaoning City, then you will be in trouble. Don't think that you can do anything well, Shaoning City cannot develop. There is always a reason why the economic indicators rank last in the province. Regarding the history of Shaoning City, Zhou Tianhao knows a little bit about the planned economy era. Shaoning City is not the worst place in Jiangnan Province, ranking in the middle. However, after the reform and opening up, Shaoning City has the slowest pace of development and soon fell to the bottom of the province.
After smoking two cigarettes in a row, Zhou Tianhao slowly figured it out. Perhaps this time taking the train to Shaoning City to take up the post was an opportunity to know something about the situation through the old man. This way of understanding the situation was rare, and his true Once I take office, I'm afraid I won't have too many opportunities. It seems that I can't be discouraged. I still need to let the old man speak and really tell me what difficulties he encountered. After he understands the situation, he can also find a breakthrough in his work.
Going to Shaoning City and carrying out the work step by step is probably not possible, nor is it possible to make a big fuss in the sky. Changes must be made, but the basis of such changes is the need to truly grasp the situation.
When they came back, the old man and the young man had already finished their instant noodles. They whispered something. Zheng Qin took out his Walkman and was listening to music.
Seeing Zhou Tianhao coming over, the old man smiled at Zhou Tianhao.
"Old man, you are doing business in Shaoning City."
The old man¡¯s eyes lit up for a moment, then dimmed.
¡°I haven¡¯t done any big business, it¡¯s just a small business, just making a living. It¡¯s hard to do business now. When I first started, it was easy to make money. But now it¡¯s not good anymore. If you don¡¯t pay attention, you will lose money.¡±
"I don't think so. As long as the business reaches a certain scale and has regular customers, the problem won't be too big. The remaining focus is on good management."
The old man looked at Zhou Tianhao and was obviously interested. He could not have imagined that a young man like Zhou Tianhao who worked in the provincial capital would actuallyIf you know some knowledge of business management, this is not simple.
¡°It¡¯s very difficult to truly become a large-scale enterprise. We all come from small businesses. When we first started, we didn¡¯t even think about becoming big. We were afraid of poverty and wanted to make some money so that future generations would not continue to suffer.¡±
"So the old man has been in business for many years, so he must be very familiar with it. I don't know what kind of business he is doing now."
"Originally, we purchased konjac, processed konjac gum, and later produced konjac powder. Oh, it's the kind of konjac grown in the ground."
Zheng Qin on the other side had already taken off his earphones, and when he heard what the old man said, he spoke out of curiosity.
"Then do you process konjac tofu? It is often used for cooking in the canteen."
Zhou Tianhao was dumbfounded. Zheng Qin really didn¡¯t understand anything.
"The production of konjac gum and konjac powder has two uses, one is for edible use, and the other is for industrial use. There are many konjac gum and konjac powder for industrial use. These are all intensive processing of konjac and can improve The value of konjac, the konjac tofu you mentioned, is processed by small workshops, not factories and mines. To process konjac powder and konjac gum, special machines and special factories are needed."
Zheng Qin nodded vaguely, saying that she really didn¡¯t understand this.
The old man¡¯s eyes lit up. He didn¡¯t expect Zhou Tianhao to know the intensive processing of konjac. You know, many people in the provincial capital have never seen konjac planted, let alone what konjac looks like in the ground.
"I really can't believe that you still know this. I thought the leaders working in the provincial capital didn't know these things."
"Old man, I don't know much, just some furs. Your processing company should be doing a prosperous business. The current sales of konjac gum and konjac powder are good. There are a lot of exports, so there should be no problem. Besides, , Judging from your appearance, you have been doing this for many years. The processing of konjac gum is relatively simple, but the processing of konjac powder requires sophisticated machinery and equipment, as well as a sterile processing workshop."
"Yes, as the factory gets bigger, there will be more problems, alas"
At this point, the old man fell silent. The young man on the side couldn't help it and finally spoke.
"Uncle, you just don't dare to say anything. When the government asked us to move to the development zone, it agreed on so many preferential policies, but now they can't be implemented. How will the factory continue? If it were me, I would start from the development zone. If we move out of the district and return to the village, we will save ourselves a lot of trouble."
Zhou Tianhao was sensitive to the problem.
"Oh, you said that the government requires you to move to the development zone. I have been to Shaoning City and the conditions in the development zone are very good. If you move in, the environment is good and it will be beneficial for you to set up a factory."
At this point, the old man was no longer silent.
"The conditions are very good, but we can't afford to move. It costs a lot of money. When we moved in, it was really cheap. Thank you to the government for helping us coordinate. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to move in. But then there were more and more requests. Then came the unknown expenses. You said we just moved in and are still in the process of construction. How can we invest so much money?"
When the old man said this, his expression became even worse.
The young man spoke again.
"When I first moved in, I was told that all expenses could be deducted. But now it's better. When I moved in, all the expenses came. I even took out the documents and said everything should be charged. I don't understand. Electricity should be provided, but it would cost us 100,000 yuan to set up the fire. Water should be provided, but it would also cost 50,000 yuan to start the service. There are many other expenses that I have never heard of before, but we can¡¯t afford them now. After asking for so much money, my face changed. I asked you to come in with a smile, but after I got into trouble, no one ignored me. Why did you lie to us like this?"
"Don't talk nonsense. Don't listen to the children talking nonsense. This is not a lie to us. We moved in voluntarily and the government also helped. These things are beyond the control of the government. We also found the leaders of the development zone and the leaders said , there are some things that they have no choice but to manage on a one-sided basis, which we can understand.¡±
Zhou Tianhao frowned. The things the old and young people said were not big, but the problems reflected were not small. In a place, there is no relaxed development environment. Every department regards the company as Tang Monk meat, and everyone wants to bite it. If you take one bite and think that the craving for food is normal, big problems may arise.
"I'm not talking nonsense. I thought no one knew. I just want to give them gifts. If I give them gifts, nothing will happen. If I don't give them, it's just business. It's not their money anyway. Even if the company collapses, they don't care. ."
The old man¡¯s face turned dark.?Young people, young people also know that if these words they say are really spread, they may be in trouble, so they turned their heads and looked out of the car window. (To be continued)
