I met Fu Minzhi in the secretary's office. Secretary Fu might have just returned from a social event. He was very drunk. His eyes were bulging like a toad, and his tongue was tied when he greeted people. However, being good at drinking and fighting has always been a fine tradition of party members and cadres. After a cup of strong tea, his mind immediately returned to a sober state. He leaned on the boss chair and listened to Yao Shang's explanation of the cooperative. Wen Liang made necessary supplements on the side.
After listening to the report, Fu Minzhi waved his hand and agreed that all tea-producing areas in the county should set up cooperatives based on the model of Donghe Village. He also told Wen Liang that he would draw personnel from the county finance, land, agriculture and forestry departments to set up a special agency to coordinate the relationship between the cooperatives and the tea companies, and that both parties must be happy and mutually beneficial.
Fu Minzhi's understanding made Wen Liang feel something was wrong. Judging from the secretary's lifestyle, he didn't look decisive, shrewd, or capable. He thought the cooperative's affairs involved a lot of people, and it would take a lot of effort to get him to accept it, but he didn't expect it to be so easy, and the result was so ideal.
After finishing the business in a few words, Fu Minzhi yawned repeatedly. Wen Liang was so delicate and exquisite that he got up and said goodbye. Yao Shang opened the door first and waited by the door. Just then, a breeze blew through the hall, lifting her long hair on her shoulders. The black hair touched her pretty face against her slightly opened red lips, and for a moment, it even amazed the whole room. Fu Minzhi shook hands with Wen Liang, but his eyes were looking at Yao Shang's graceful figure. Her attractive curves showed the charm and plumpness of a young woman. The evil fire after drinking could not be suppressed and rushed straight to his heart, saying: "Xiao Yao, you..."
He was just about to ask Yao Shang to stay, but Wen Liang smiled and said, "Secretary Fu, you are too polite. I can go back by myself. Don't ask Director Yao to send me off! We can visit each other more often in the future. There is no need to be so distant!"
Fu Minzhi was stunned for a moment, and quickly changed his words: "What are you talking about, Mr. Wen? I should send it off, I should send it off... Xiao Yao, please send Mr. Wen off for me..."
The two of them walked out of the county party committee office building one after the other. Viper was waiting downstairs in his car. Wen Liang smiled and said, "Director Yao, please stay. I will be leaving Wujiang tonight. I hope we will have a chance to cooperate again in the future."
Yao Shang did not answer him, but walked past Wen Liang and headed out the door with her head down. Wen Liang smiled at her from behind, gestured for Dushe to follow him, and walked quickly to walk side by side with her.
"What's wrong, Director Yao? Are you blaming me for saying the wrong thing to Secretary Fu?"
Yao Shang shook her head and walked all the way to the path outside the county party committee before she stopped and stared at a dry roadside tree. She said, "You were kind enough to help me just now. I can't thank you enough, so how can I blame you? President Wen, although I have known you for a short time, I don't know why, from the first time we met this morning, I knew that you were a unique person, different from many people I have met."
She turned around and chuckled, "Later on the road, in Donghe, your words and actions verified my opinion. A gentleman loves money, but he gets it in a proper way. Many people say this, but you are the only one who says this and does this."
"Haha, maybe I'm just talking! Director Yao, Confucius said that we should listen to what they say and observe their actions. It's too hasty for you to draw conclusions just by listening to me talk."
Yao Shang laughed and said, "See, this is what makes you different! Others are so happy to hear the compliments, but you are the only one who is afraid that others will think you are a good person... Although I am not smart, I also know what the tea industry in the county is like. If you really don't give in, the goal of purchasing 7,000 acres of tea gardens at a very low price may be achieved. No matter how dissatisfied the people are, they can't influence the final result. At that time, you will have the final say on production, purchase, and sales. If the cost is reduced to the lowest, the profit will at least double. Moreover, the market is sluggish, and buying low and selling low is also in line with market rules. No one can find fault with you. But you not only gave up the tea gardens that were within your reach, but also pointed out a very feasible way to the tea farmers. In fact, it also gave them the confidence and courage to start a new life in the current sluggish tea market..."
Wen Liang looked at Yao Shang in surprise. The reason why he rejected Fan Bo's acquisition plan was not only because it would encounter some resistance. In 1995, when there was no Internet, no Weibo, and no external publicity channels, such a small-scale mass incident was not worth mentioning. He was more concerned about how to promote the common prosperity of an industry or even a region through the development of the enterprise. Especially when facing those hard-working, simple and kind people, he could not be a purely rational social person in any way, and use cold and ruthless cost accounting and profit statements to judge their fate.
If you live this life again just to make money without caring about the lives of people, then life would be too boring.
Therefore, he adopted the cooperative method, dividing part of his monopoly on the tea market and power to make rules with the tea farmers. This painstaking effort may not be fully understood by people including An Baoqing and Zhao Xiaoquan.
Unexpectedly, it was this beautiful woman who saw through his good intentions at a glance.
"Why, you're not talking anymore? Did I guess right?"
Wen Liang shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands, and said, "You must think so well of me. I'm not a pervert, so of course I don't mind! But Director Yao, you sent me here specially, not just to give me a good guy card, right?"
Yao Shang didn't know what the good guy card was. She gently lifted the black hair beside her ear, her eyes gradually became more tender, and said: "You are kind to the tea farmers, which certainly touched me, but it's not enough for me to tell you this... Mr. Wen, you have a good heart, but your eyes are so sharp that it's scary. We have only met twice from this morning to now, but you can see that Fu Minzhi has bad intentions towards me!"
Wen Liang smiled and said, "It's not that I'm good, it's that some people's acting is too bad!"
Yao Shang also smiled and said, "Yes, my acting skills are indeed very bad, so bad that many people in the county committee know it, but among so many people, you are the only one who is not afraid of offending him and helped me in person! To be honest, I am very grateful..."
Wen Liang sighed and said, "It's just a small favor for me, but Director Yao, this is not a long-term solution after all. You still need to make plans early. If you really can't continue working in the county party committee, you can come to the company to find me. Although private enterprises are not as respectable as civil servants, you don't have to worry about food and clothing!"
Yao Shang smiled coldly, and the gentleness of a Jiangnan woman suddenly became a little more sharp. She said, "I just arrived new and don't want to cause trouble for myself and my husband. Fu Minzhi didn't do anything excessive, so I endured it. If he really dares to do something reckless, I will make him regret it!"
After saying that, his eyes turned, but he stared at Wen Liang with interest, and teased: "Boss Wen, do you really want to recruit me into the company?"
The woman's face, the June sky, Uncle Wen raised his hands and said with a wry smile: "Just pretend I didn't say anything!"
Yao Chang chuckled and said, "Okay, let's get serious. You may not know that Fu Minzhi is now trying to get transferred to Wuzhou as deputy mayor after the party congress in March! In order to have a good political performance, he must keep your investment. Not to mention 7,000 acres of tea garden, even if it's 70,000 acres, he will find ways to meet your requirements. Do you understand?"
Wen Liang suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Fu Minzhi was not worried about the potential concerns and consequences of the cooperative and gave such strong support. It turned out that he was ready to leave at any time. For him, as long as the funds could be kept in Wujiang before the end of the month, the initial revitalization of Biluochun tea, a pillar industry, would have already written a heavy stroke on the report card. As for what would happen after he left, who would care if there was a flood
Yao Shang took a step forward, leaned close to Wen Liang's ear, and whispered, "Of course he is not the only candidate for the position of deputy mayor, so some people are hoping that Wu Jiang will get into trouble..."
Wen Liang frowned slightly. He didn't expect that little Wu Jiang would be so restless. From what Yao Shang said, Biluochun had obviously become a chess piece for some people to fight for power, no matter whether this chess piece was willing or not!
Yao Shang stared at his face and exclaimed, "Boss Wen, you are really different! Most people would be shocked to hear such news. But I have been observing you carefully. You understand what I mean, but you don't seem to take it to heart at all."
Compared to the thrilling and treacherous fight that took place in Qingzhou, this certainly did not shock Wen Liang's mind. He looked back at Yao Shang's eyes and smiled, "I was so scared that I was stunned! Thank you Director Yao for revealing these inside stories, otherwise I would have died in Wujiang without knowing how I died!"
Yao Shang was captivated by his bright and deep gaze. Her heart beat violently twice and her earlobes flushed slightly. However, she was unwilling to avoid it. She bit her lower lip and said, "You lie to me again..."
Before he finished speaking, a black Santana suddenly stopped by the roadside. The door opened and a man in his twenties rushed over. Jealousy was evident on his face. He shouted, "Xiao Shang, what are you doing? Who is this man? Why are you guys getting so close?"
When Yao Chang saw the person coming, a look of shame and anger appeared on her pretty face. She turned around and stepped aside, scolding: "What are you crazy about? This is Mr. Wen who came to Wujiang to invest. I just sent him out from the county party committee and said a few words to him. He is not as dirty as you think!"
The man half believed and half doubted, stared at Wen Liang's face and said, "That's true. I don't think this guy is ugly. I don't think your taste is that bad..."
"Shi Ruyang, what nonsense are you talking about? Shut up!"
Yao Shang was both embarrassed and angry. She stretched out her hand and grabbed the man's ear. The man immediately cried out in pain, bent down and begged for mercy like a grandma: "Oh, grandma, be gentle, be gentle! Yesterday you were calling me by my nickname, but today you're like a tigress again..." (To be continued.
