Chapter 135: Changes in the world, looking for loans
No one who is busy making money is willing to stop what they are doing and calm down to appreciate the scenery along the way.
Even if I occasionally take a train and stand by the window and look at the sky and earth in the distance, my mind is still thinking about irrelevant things.
And now.
You don’t need to calm down or observe carefully.
Just a moment of trance, and the world in front of you will make you feel different from the past.
It is clear and thorough, as if a non-existent filter has been removed, making everything subtle, delicate, but full of reality.
Its sky is filled with wind and residual clouds, white and blue intertwined into a huge vortex, reflecting the late morning sun. The eastern edge is mixed with light red and light gold, the western edge is mixed with light gray and light pink, and then blends into lavender. Orange finally casts a bright light.
Its land is vast and verdant, but with the changes in the sky and the rotating light, the vast land sometimes looks like grassland, sometimes like a desert, sometimes like the sea...
At this moment, time seemed to stand still, but also seemed to pass quickly.
…
Phillips was not the first to discover the beauty of nature.
At this moment, the sparse traffic flow on Section 385 was actually filled with parking spaces within easy reach of the expressway.
Countless people stood on the roadside, either dumbfounded, feeling lost, looking up to the sky, or moved to tears...
When Yu Yang came to the highway intersection, this was what he saw.
Immediately, I was also deeply attracted by the colors in the distance.
It was mid-April, and the soybeans in the experimental field had grown to knee-high, and the soybeans in the ordinary farmland were also growing green leaves.
Normally speaking, apart from the vastness, there doesn’t seem to be much to see.
But can you see green plants 1,000 meters away with your naked eyes?
Here, you can not only see, but also see trees 5,000 meters away.
And the land in the distance is not affected by the curvature of the earth at all. The entire site is like a super sand table, completely presented in front of you.
Then the wind and clouds intertwined, the light and shadow alternated, and everything seemed to pass by like a blur.
‘Is this a changing world? ’
Yu Yang understood.
It should be a rain in the early morning, coupled with the cloudy to sunny weather conditions, triggering the spectacle effect...
Thinking.
On the north highway, at the junction of Shiliying and the Buddha Temple, a large group of monks suddenly appeared.
Thanks to the far-sighted effect of the spectacle, Yu Yang even saw a skinny old monk among the group of monks.
This appears to be the contemporary abbot of the Buddha Temple, who is said to be 121 years old.
Then Yu Yang saw the monks scattering around, finding people watching the scenery, and starting to promote Buddhism...
Grass!
Yu Yang took out his phone and contacted the security department, "Chang Lu, lift them as far as you can!"
A little bit.
Thousands of security guards were like locusts crossing the border, either hugging, carrying, or resisting, and swept away hundreds of great monks.
The Buddha Temple is not a small temple.
Its history can be traced back to the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
Although it is not as well-known as the surrounding Jinshan Temple, Lingyan Temple, Xingguo Temple, Baoxiang Temple, etc., it is the first place to be. It is precisely because it is not famous that it has experienced wars in various dynasties, and even after the Japanese came, it has always been No losses were suffered.
Furthermore, the monks believe in the Patriarch of Buddha, and the Patriarch of Buddha is famous for his ability to fight.
So the monks had guns in hand and dug massive tunnels around the temple.
If you can beat, fight, if you can't, hide, hide and then fight...
Otherwise, there is no way you can save money for incense in this three-nothing zone.
The most important thing is that when the Japanese were fighting against the Japanese from all over the country, the contemporary abbot used the "records of the Patriarch of Buddha to resist the foreigners" to persuade the whole temple to give up gold and buy a large amount of weapons through connections to support the local resistance war.
One of the people who received this batch of weapons was Mr. Wan, who was born in Pingdong County.
This is also the reason why the Buddha Temple is not a traditional Buddhist temple, but is officially recognized.
If we don’t give face to the host, we must give face to Mr. Wan.
Therefore, Yu Yang could at most ask the security department to send the monks back to the temple, but did not dare to charter a flight to Xiangjiang.
…
The commotion caused by the removal of the monks and the gradually clearing of the sky brought people admiring the scenery back to their senses.
Some are looking for people with cameras, hoping that after the photos are developed, they can sell one to themselves.
Some asked where this place was, and then asked why there was an intersection on the highway.
Some people also looked at Phillips who was painting...
Unfortunately, the scene was quickly surrounded by security, and then roadblocks were set up to guide the car, and a simple plastic shed was built to prevent Phillips from being disturbed.
Although Mrs. Smith valued Phillips, investing in inks and pigments was more important. She chatted with Yu Yang for a few words, got into the Hutouben and continued the return journey.
Yu Yang stood in a simple plastic shed and watched Phillips paint. Apart from feeling slow, there was no other gain.
Wait until noon.
Seeing that Phillips would not be able to finish the painting in a while, he looked up to see the ineffectiveness of the changes, and simply got off the highway and returned to the Brick Kiln office area to deal with the investment plan for the chemical plant.
A little bit.
The medical examiner's sister brought lunch.
One portion of minced pork and eggplant, one portion of braised potatoes, one portion of pork and cabbage stewed vermicelli, two steamed buns, and one portion of salty porridge.
Yu Yang picked up the chopsticks and tasted it, "Strange, why has the taste changed?"
"Isn't it as delicious as before?"
"right!"
"I heard that these ingredients are all purchased from outside."
"Why don't we grow it ourselves?" Yu Yang said, dialing the internal number of the secretarial team.
The latter replied: "The potatoes we grow at home are sold at a price of 3 cents per kilogram higher than those on the market. They are also sent to the capital, and the supply exceeds demand. After discussion, we decided to sell the potatoes we grow at home and purchase them from outside." With the potatoes coming back, our family will have three times the number of potatoes, which will not only reduce the cost of cooking, but also maintain market share.”
"I grow such delicious potatoes and sell them at a cheaper price to others, but at the expense of myself?"
"You are not a householder. You don't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive."
"Um?"
"Director Yu, do you know the company's expenses?"
“I really haven’t thought about it.” “As of mid-April, Shiliying, Hangai Township, Jiuxian Township, the surrounding areas of Xiaoqing River, the northern part of Fei City, and the western suburbs of Tai City have all been transformed into enterprises, and the population of the factory areas has reached 270,000.
In addition, after the land expropriation in Pingyang County is completed, if local farmers are included in the factory area and the urban population is not calculated, there will be an additional 550,000 people.
There are a total of 820,000 people, and their daily expenditure is 50 cents per person, which is 1.23 million.
Our Sanyuan Agriculture, Sanyuan Construction, Sanyuan Building Materials, as well as the Sanyuan Cattle Farm, Sanyuan Soybean Oil, Sanyuan Hospital, Shili Nursing Home, Shiliying Nursery, etc., which are under construction, have a formal workforce of 30,000 , there are as many as 150,000 contract workers, with an average salary of 860 yuan and a monthly expenditure of 160 million yuan.
Then there is the most important labor dispatch in our industrial zone, which is to temporarily recruit people to unload, load, and handle other sundries. Although there are not many here and there, the monthly expenditure is as high as 200 million.
As for the construction expenditure, it not only used up the 1 billion invested by Jishui City and the 1.1 billion borrowed by Deputy General Dong, but also used up the 20 million US dollars you used to sell the dog, and the 500 million used up by the county branch to help with turnover.
Although our vegetables, fruits, hot pot, and fast food are profitable, they are far from keeping up with consumption. "
Yu Yang had known about this for a long time, but he didn't expect that his management would tighten their belts.
The main reason why they ran out of funds was that their main industry changed from vegetables to soybeans.
The soybean industry takes time, and it is now in the stage of investment and negative returns.
However, when 8 million acres of soybeans are put on the market, everything will get better and even explode.
Soybean oil, soybean products, feed, breeding, aquatic products...
It's like activating the Big Mac industrial chain, killing gods when God blocks it, and killing Buddha when Buddha blocks it.
"It's okay. From now on, vegetables will be supplied internally first, so that employees can not only eat well, but also eat well."
"But our family doesn't have that much money..."
"Loans, there are so many large companies, plus ADM's investment, I don't believe there are no banks to lend."
"Indeed not."
"Um?"
Yu Yang was stunned for a moment, then understood immediately.
It's probably the tiger in the Kubu compound and Marubeni Trading Company who are up to something.
One dominates the inside and the other dominates the outside.
Domestic banks dare not lend, foreign banks cannot lend, and both ends are blocked, so they cannot get loans.
Yu Yang hung up the phone and contacted Lao Dong, "I have no money. Think of a way."
Then I heard Old Dong's voice coming from outside the office.
"How much difference?" Before he finished speaking, someone walked into the office.
"It's actually not bad. The main reason is that the investment money from ADM will take some time to arrive... Prepare 2 billion first and pay it off in three months."
Old Dong nodded, picked up the phone and dialed the number.
A little bit.
"Hello, I am Liu Xianli, deputy director of the National People's Congress."
"Hello, leader, I am Dong Zheng."
"Oh? Hello, Comrade Dong Zheng."
"Leader, Sanyuan Agriculture has no money. Everyone in the company is waiting for lunch. It's already one o'clock and the pot still can't be turned on. Many people have started to cause trouble, and the city can't suppress it anymore."
"Ah? You, you have to report this to the province."
"I'm communicating with the province, so why do you have anything to do with me?"
"That's right..." Deputy Director Liu said, a little embarrassed, "I mean, let's solve it ourselves first. If we can't solve it, we can go to the province. How can we always trouble our superiors."
"Then can you help me solve it?"
"Can't Yu Sanyuan hold it down?"
"You also know that he is discussing investment issues with ADM and is too busy at all. Besides, can people solve the problem of food? If it can be solved, how could there be so many peasant uprisings in history."
"Comrade Dong Zheng, don't describe the problem so seriously."
"There are countless precedents here. Otherwise, why would you split up Tai Tai?"
"..."
Deputy Director Liu was silent for a moment, then muted his voice and seemed to be busy.
After a while.
"Comrade Dong Zheng, how much do you need?"
"5 billion."
"so much?"
"You can't let this person eat the last meal but not the next one, right?"
"Hey, what do you usually eat? Sea cucumber and abalone?"
"Am I here to talk to you about what to eat? Don't pretend to be confused and pretend to understand."
"..."
Deputy Director Liu said no more, put down the phone, and ran to work again.
The application form submitted before for "merging Shiliying into Changqing" was shelved by the general manager. Then came the news that Shiliying Sub-district Office was established and received special approval from the capital. He knew that he could not defeat Lao Dong.
In other words, he can't beat the old director who developed the general manager of Taishi into one of his own.
Now the other party gives me a step up and extends an olive branch...
Deputy Director Liu gritted his teeth and used all his connections.
"You ask Yu Sanyuan to copy ADM's investment agreement and send it to Qilu Bank and Huaxia Bank respectively. After signing a foreign exchange agreement, temporarily deposit the agreement between the two banks, and each will be given a loan of 2.5 billion."
"Not enough."
"Dong Zheng, how much energy do you think I, a bad old man who is about to retire, have?"
"It's precisely because you have little energy that I came to you. Otherwise, if we shake hands with the tiger in the Kungbu compound, how much money can we make?"
"Since you know there is a tiger blocking the road, you should also know how difficult it is for me to get around the tiger."
"You can think of something else."
"I want a hammer, that's all, love or not."
After Deputy Director Liu finished speaking, he hung up the phone directly.
Old Dong put down his cell phone without saying anything, "5 billion is enough. Maybe we can also build roads."
"You have made many friends and few enemies."
"Deputy Director Liu is not an enemy. He just wants to make progress. I am able to get to where I am today because I am surrounded by motivated people. Otherwise, I would be full of moths without any achievements. I would have entered a long time ago."
