Chapter 147 Write a Book for You
Jiang Ning was a little surprised that Li Anquan invited him to dinner.
He is not a person who gets carried away by success and he has never shown off to his classmates.
But the reality is that even if he invited his classmates to dinner, they refused to come.
Not to mention inviting him to dinner.
It was the first time that a classmate took the initiative to invite him to dinner. Although he knew that the meal would not be that delicious, Jiang Ning went happily anyway and asked Feng Yu to come along. They were a couple and it would be a bit impolite for him to go alone.
Recently, Feng Yu has been educating him every day on how to respect others.
For example, when eating out, sometimes you can’t bring your wife along.
But sometimes you need to bring your wife along.
When Jiang Ning became a little impatient, Feng Yu said that fathers are role models for their children.
If you want to educate your children well, fathers must set a good example for their children themselves.
The reasons were so convincing that Jiang Ning had nothing to say and could only listen to her.
Feng Xue didn't come because she didn't want to come.
Cooking at home by myself.
We had dinner at a small restaurant, which was actually quite good.
It is considered a medium consumption level in Bei'an.
They asked for a small private room and Li An asked Jiang Ning to order the food.
Jiang Ning followed the host's wishes and said, "It's enough to order the pork chop noodle rolls. It would be a waste if we couldn't finish more. My wife is pregnant and can't eat spicy food. Just a simple dinner will be fine."
Li An ordered the pork rib noodle rolls.
Yang Qiuyan glanced at Feng Yu's belly and said, "Congratulations. How many months have you been pregnant?"
Feng Yu smiled and said, "It's only been two months, it's still hard to tell."
Yang Qiuyan is very familiar with people: "I tell you, when you are pregnant, just let everything take its course, don't worry about this or that. When I was pregnant, I didn't care about anything. I just ate and drank as I should, and I gave birth smoothly. Some people are timid and afraid of this and that. They are afraid that the baby will choke if they drink more water, and in the end, the baby will have problems with this or that..."
The two women chatted with each other.
Jiang Ning didn't hold it, took a sip of tea and asked, "Is there something wrong?"
Li An was a little embarrassed: "Yang Qiuyan insisted on making trouble and opened a fruit drink shop and planned to buy fruit from you."
Jiang Ning was surprised: "Opening a store again?"
Li An nodded and said, "She still owes a lot of debts. I didn't let her open the car, but she insisted on opening it..."
Jiang Ning said, "This is a good thing. People should make more efforts. Those who love to make efforts may not necessarily get rich, but those who don't make efforts will definitely not get rich. Which boss has not made mistakes before? Only those who make many mistakes can have the opportunity to become a boss."
Li An asked curiously, "Have you ever fallen down before?"
Jiang Ning covered his teacup and said, "I've fallen so many times. I've suffered so much in those years out there. I was sold out and barely had enough to eat. When something happened in my hometown, I needed help from my relatives and friends. Out there, I can only rely on myself."
Yang Qiuyan asked curiously, "Have you ever been cheated by someone?"
Jiang Ning nodded: "I have been cheated before. Who hasn't been cheated before when they come out to work hard?"
Yang Qiuyan glared at Li An: "Listen, I'm telling you, you still have to work for yourself. What future can you have by working for others? You work yourself to death just to earn that little money. If you don't work for yourself, you will never be able to turn your life around."
Jiang Ning was a little surprised. This was really the east wind overcoming the west wind. He asked, "Where is your store?"
Yang Qiuyan said, "The tenth son of the Chen family originally wanted to open a bookstore opposite the No. 1 Middle School to do business with students. Now the bookstore business is not good. I heard that the school no longer allows students to buy books. However, the house prices over there are too high, and the transfer fee is too expensive. We can't afford it."
Jiang Ning nodded: "Student business is indeed easy to do, but Wangjia Cross is not bad either."
Yang Qiuyan said, "It's still under renovation. It will be ready in a few days. I plan to open it on June 1st. The problem now is that if it's too expensive, there will be no business. If it's too cheap, there will be no profit. The cost is too high. I've eaten the fruits from your farm and they taste good. So I want to make fruit drinks with the fruits from your farm. Can you give it to me at a lower price?"
Jiang Ning said, "The fruit trees planted in the orchard of the farm are all for our own consumption. At most, we sell some to the company. There is not much left, and the supply is actually unstable."
Yang Qiuyan said, "I don't need much in my small shop. How much do you sell it to the company for?"
Jiang Ning thought for a moment and said, "Apples, pears, etc. are all two pieces."
Yang Qiuyan was surprised: "So cheap?"
Jiang Ning asked, "How much is it sold in the fruit and vegetable store?"
Yang Qiuyan said: "It depends on the variety. Some pears are cheap while others are quite expensive. Apples are generally more than five or six yuan."
Jiang Ning smiled and said, "Then I'll sell it at a low price."
Yang Qiuyan said, "In fact, the wholesale price of apples is very cheap. Bei'an doesn't grow apples, but the city grows a lot of apples. The wholesale price in the orchard is about two yuan. When they are not selling well, we still sell them for one yuan. We who make fruit drinks definitely don't use very good fruits, otherwise we will lose a lot of money. We will buy some goods that cannot be sold in supermarkets and fruit and vegetable stores. We can only make money if the price is low."
"This……"
Jiang Ning paused for a moment and asked, "Can you just casually tell others about this kind of business secret?"
Feng Yu was also quite surprised, because she used to like fruit drinks.
From time to time, I would buy a fruit drink from those fruit drink shops.
I didn’t expect that all the goods I used were unsaleable…
I felt cheated instantly.
Yang Qiuyan said nonchalantly, "What's the big deal? Anyone who has done this knows it. There are also people saying it online. Fruit drink makers all say they use the freshest and best fruit. Nobody knows what they really use. But this is not the right way after all, and the business won't last long. So I plan to use good fruit. Can you give me the apples from your farm at a lower price?"
Jiang Ning asked: "How much do you want?"
Yang Qiuyan chopped hard: "How about one dollar?"
Jiang Ning laughed: "You cut it quite hard!"
Feng Yu was a little embarrassed. She had never seen such a shameless woman.
Yang Qiuyan was not embarrassed at all and gave a good reason: "If my business is good, the demand will definitely be large. I will open branches in the city and the provincial capital. We can cooperate for a long time."
Jiang Ning smiled but said nothing. This woman is quite good at making promises.
Feng Yuze tried very hard to hold back his laughter.
Li An quickly changed the subject: "I heard from Lao Li that you bought a plane?"
Jiang Ning nodded: "I bought a helicopter to travel around."
"Really awesome!"
Li An didn't know how to describe his feelings, he could only sigh.
Yang Qiuyan also thought it was awesome.
Buying an airplane is a dream that ordinary people dare not have.
Jiang Ning said, "What's so great about this? Planes are just like cars. A QQ worth 30,000 or 40,000 yuan is a car, and a Bugatti Veyron worth tens of millions is also a car. The same goes for planes. There are business jets worth hundreds of millions of yuan, and there are small planes worth millions of yuan. I just bought a helicopter worth 4 or 5 million yuan for fun. I can't afford a business jet worth hundreds of millions of yuan, and I don't have the need for it."
Li An said: "That's awesome, a helicopter is also a plane."
After chatting for a while, the food came.
It was just a meal, no wine was served.
When the meal is almost finished.
Yang Qiuyan asked again: "Can you give me a discount on the fruit?"
Jiang Ning put down his chopsticks and said, "I don't know if Lao Li has told you that my personal relationships are personal, but if we are talking about business, we have to follow the rules of business. Li An and I are classmates. If we are unhappy because of business, it is better not to do it."
Yang Qiuyan could only nod and say, "I heard from Lao Li."
Jiang Ning said, "According to what you said, I can give you apples for one dollar, and other fruits can also be given at a lower price. This is a discount I give to my old classmates, but you can't owe money, you have to pick up the goods in cash."
Yang Qiuyan said happily: "No problem, thank you!"
After eating and drinking, we left the restaurant.
Everyone goes back to their homes.
Before getting in the car, Yang Qiuyan glanced at Feng Yu's G-Class with eyes full of envy, but she quickly cheered up. Being poor for a while does not mean being poor for life. Being poor is not scary. As long as you have high ambitions, you will become rich one day.
Jiang Ning also took a look and saw that the couple was driving a Changan car.
In fact, it’s not bad. It’s enough for an ordinary family to buy a car worth tens of thousands of yuan for transportation.
He has been abroad for five years, and his concept of cars is actually different from that of Chinese people.
I don't think it's shameful to drive a domestic car worth tens of thousands of dollars.
This thing is a means of transportation.
If you have money, buy a better one. If you don’t have money, one worth tens of thousands of dollars will do.
Unlike Jiang Wei, who bought a Land Rover to show off his wealth even though he had no money.
If he cared about those things, he would have bought an Agusta worth tens of millions.
I won't buy a small helicopter worth millions.
It’s not like I can’t afford it.
I didn't drive when I came, so I asked the driver to bring me here.
Go back and drive Feng Yu’s G-Class.
Feng Yu was driving and Jiang Ning was leaning lazily on the passenger seat.
While driving on the road, the two men were still commenting on Yang Qiuyan.
Feng Yu never talks about others behind their backs, and her words are quite positive: "Yang Qiuyan is quite capable. If it were me, I would definitely feel embarrassed to bargain with her like that. Besides, she is quite ambitious. I think she is suitable to be a boss."
Jiang Ning didn't take it too seriously: "There are many people who can brag, only those who can get things done count."
Feng Yu was depressed: "It turns out that the fruit drinks I drank were made from rotten fruits."
Jiang Ning said, "That's why I told you to drink less of that stuff. Nowadays, even in small restaurants, there are a lot of technological advances in the food out there, not to mention the drinks. If you want to eat, it's better to make it at home, which is cleaner and more hygienic."
Feng Yu said: "The taste of the ones made at home is not good. Making fruit drinks requires skills. The ingredients and craftsmanship are very important. Many popular ones are the result of people experimenting countless times to come up with the recipe. The ones you make yourself won't have that taste."
Jiang Ning scratched his head: "Then I'll learn a skill and make it just for you?"
Feng Yu laughed out loud, her eyebrows and eyes curved: "Okay!"
Jiang Ning thought for a moment and said, "Forget it. I'm so busy every day. It's not worthwhile to waste time learning that. It would be most cost-effective to hire a professional fruit drink maker to make it for you. At most, I can support one more person. I'd better save my time to make big money!"
Feng Yu gave him a blank look: "All talk and no action."
There was a tick.
There is new message on the phone again.
Jiang Ning took it out and took a look. It was a file sent to him by Lao Yang.
When I clicked on it, the header read "Notice on the Handling of Certain Issues Concerning Retired Personnel".
I looked up and saw the guiding ideology and so on.
It's all repetitive talk.
I looked down and only read a few lines.
Then came the call from Lao Yang.
Jiang Ning picked up the phone and said, "I'm reading the document. What does it say?"
Lao Yang said in a heavy tone: "I may not be able to work on the farm anymore."
Jiang Ning was surprised: "What's going on?"
The old man was in mixed emotions: "Boss Lu is going to punish those who are not paying for their salary."
Jiang Ning was puzzled: "You are about to retire, so you are not considered to be drawing a salary without working, right?"
The old man explained: "Look at the document, the focus is not on us retirees. Now many units have people who are paid but not on the job. The focus is on these. Of course, retirees also have problems. I may not be able to worry about you anymore."
Jiang Ning said, "I haven't seen Wen Bo yet, I'll see first."
The old man said okay and didn't say anything more.
hang up the phone.
Jiang Ning opened the file and read it carefully.
There are two parts, one part is for retired personnel.
It was pointed out that some retired personnel are working in enterprises or are receiving salaries as nominal consultants, and these people should return to their original posts. Retirement does not mean retirement, and even if they are too old to hold important positions, they should continue to contribute to the county's cause.
How can I go to work in a company?
The second part is about those who draw a salary without working. The wording in the first part, which targets retired personnel, is relatively mild, but the latter part is very harsh on those who draw a salary without working. Many units are named and the wording is very harsh. In the end, it says that they will be dealt with seriously.
Feng Yu asked as he drove: "What happened?"
Jiang Ning said: "The boss wants to punish those who are not working for the company and will not allow retired personnel to work in the company."
Feng Yu exclaimed: "Is the old comrade going to leave?"
Jiang Ning shook his head: "I don't know yet, let's go back and ask about the situation."
Feng Yu was worried: "If the old comrade really passes away, who will worry about you?"
Jiang Ning scratched his head and also felt a headache.
It is easy to find someone these days, but it is not easy to find a hardworking and responsible person.
The old man was really leaving, and he was really at a loss.
Not only is he dedicated to his work, but he is also willing to take the blame.
It is the old comrades who are doing all the offending things.
Where can you find such a good comrade?
After much thought, there is no one who can take over.
The old man is too irreplaceable. Even if Kong Fangfei is capable of taking on the responsibilities, she is still lacking in other aspects. Her prestige, means and wisdom cannot be compared with the old man, and her connections are even worse.
There are some things that the old man can solve with just a phone call.
Kong Fangfei doesn't have that kind of connections.
As for daily management, the old man fined my uncle Deng Qiang 500 yuan, and no one dared to say anything. The relatives even said that the punishment was good. But if it was Kong Fangfei, it would be questionable. Without the prestige and qualifications, it would be difficult to convince others.
Jiang Ning thought about it all the way and felt really troubled.
Back at the farm, Feng Yu took him to the office building.
I watched him get off the car before driving away.
Jiang went upstairs to the office to discuss with the old man.
The old man was in mixed emotions. From a personal perspective, this incident undoubtedly hurt him.
But he couldn't complain because things were good.
Jiang Ning asked: "I saw in the notice that the positions will be reassigned. Where will you be assigned?"
Old Yang shook his head: "I don't know yet."
Jiang Ning asked: "What do you think?"
Old Yang sighed: "After all, I am a public official, so of course I have to obey the arrangements made by the public."
Jiang Ning said directly: "The farm cannot do without you, can you think of other ways?"
The old man thought for a moment and shook his head: "I'm afraid it's difficult. If you open a loophole here, there's no need to send this document."
This is indeed the truth.
Jiang Ning thought for a while and said, "I'll give the boss a call!"
Old Yang nodded.
Jiang Ning called Boss Lu and said, "Boss, I just read the document on handling retired personnel. Can you please consider the actual situation? I will have a lot of trouble if there are no old comrades on the farm to worry about me."
Lu Jingwei said: "This is a matter of principle, and it is not an excuse for you to be lazy and not work."
Jiang Ning asked, "Can't we discuss it?"
Lu Jingwei said: "It cannot be discussed. If you are paid by the state, you should serve the people."
Jiang Ning finally asked, "Where will the old comrades be placed?"
Lu Jingwei said: "I don't know, the hat department will arrange it."
Jiang Ning hung up the phone, feeling really worried.
Old Yang thought it over and said, "Forget it. Everything is beyond our control. There's no point in thinking too much. I plan to take a few days off and visit my grandson in Beijing. You should not go out recently and stay on the farm as much as possible!"
Jiang Ning nodded helplessly and informed Kong Fangfei to book a plane ticket for the old man.
This kind of thing cannot be buried.
There are also workers on the farm who have relatives or whose relatives eat public meals.
The news spread quickly and the workers discussed it privately.
It is rumored that Yang Laohei is going back to the government office and will no longer be involved in the farm's affairs.
Most people think it’s a pity and are reluctant to part with it.
After all, the old comrades are very fair in their work, and as long as they don't make mistakes, everything can be discussed.
Whether there is a big or small problem at home, you can ask the old man for help.
A few people secretly high-fived each other in celebration, wishing the old man would get out of here as soon as possible.
A few days later, the old man was still in Beijing with his wife and grandson.
The document from the county came down, and the old man was recalled to the Federation of Literary and Art Circles to contribute to Bei'an's cultural undertakings.
Jiang Ning came up with a clever idea and called his old comrade to discuss: "How about this? You go back to the Federation of Literary and Art Circles. You still have to worry about the farm's affairs. You can work over there and the driver can go with you. You can work over the phone. Just call for small matters and come back to the farm when you are free. It won't delay anything."
The old man thought for a moment and said, "I'll talk about it when I get back!"
Jiang Ning hummed: "Stay in the capital for a few more days, no need to rush back."
After chatting for a few sentences, he hung up.
I thought that was the end of it.
result……
There was bad news from my aunt's house. It was that my uncle was summoned by the God of Hell.
The operation was successful and the patient has returned home.
It is said that living another ten years will not be a problem.
The county has drawn up a list of people who are drawing salaries without doing any work and they need to be dealt with.
My eldest cousin Zhou Aiguo is on the list.
I've been away from work for a long time and have been busy doing business and making money every day.
He is a veteran and the leader can’t control him. He is really a big shot.
Now, I’m on the blacklist and will be removed from the public service.
The news spread, and relatives all went to visit Zhou Aiguo's home. There were a lot of people sitting in the house, and my eldest aunt also came.
Zhou Aiguo was in a very bad mood, but he could only force a smile.
Everyone talked at once for a while.
The eldest aunt wiped her tears and asked the second aunt: "Can Youping tell me about it?"
Second Aunt sighed: "How can Guo Youping have a say in the affairs of the county?"
The eldest aunt asked Jiang Ning: "Jiang Ning is the most capable, can you think of a solution?"
Jiang Ning did not refuse: "I'll call and ask."
The living room became quiet and everyone was looking at him.
Jiang Ning made several phone calls in person and turned on the speakerphone.
When they heard it was about this matter, they all declined.
There is really no way.
The relatives sighed, and the hope in my aunt's eyes disappeared.
Jiang Ning spread his hands and said, "My aunt heard it too. Boss Lu is watching. No one dares to interfere in this matter now."
The eldest aunt could only force a smile and said, "As long as you try your best."
After sitting for a long time, I had comforted those who needed comforting.
The relatives did not stay for dinner and left one after another.
Jiang Youxin came in Jiang Ning's car, and on the way to the farm he asked him, "Why don't you call Boss Lu?"
Jiang Ning said speechlessly: "How can I call Boss Lu and ask him to let me off the hook for this? Old Yang has to go back, not to mention my cousin. This isn't just a matter for one person, so how could Boss Lu let me off the hook?"
Jiang Youxin sighed and had nothing to say.
It’s a pity for my eldest nephew.
Instead of attending class, he chooses to do evil things.
Now I have lost my job.
I'm in my forties. What else can I do if I lose my job?
There is no proper way to run a business.
Are you just counting on getting rich through speculation?
The key point is that it's embarrassing!
He used to be a public servant, but now he is an ordinary citizen.
This is the most unacceptable thing.
When I went there, I thought I could get a free meal, but Feng Xue told me that I didn't want to eat.
Who would have thought that I wouldn't get a free meal, so I had to eat in the cafeteria with Dad Jiang.
I met Xu Wenjing in the cafeteria, taking pictures of the workers eating with her mobile phone.
Jiang Ning called him over and asked, "Why are you taking pictures of the workers eating?"
Xu Wenjing said: "Record the life on the farm!"
Jiang Ning asked her: "How many fans do you have?"
Xu Wenjing suddenly became excited: "It's more than 30,000. Many of my farm photos are very popular. My followers are increasing very quickly. Many people like farm life and follow me. If I increase my followers a little more, I can take on advertising."
Jiang Ning encouraged casually: "Then do your best."
Xu Wenjing nodded happily and sat next to him with the plate in her hand.
In the evening, my brothers and I called our eldest cousin to go drink beer.
Zhou Aiguo lost his spirit and spoke less than before.
Eating skewers and drinking beer.
Jiang Ning asked his brothers about their plans: "When do you plan to open a supermarket?"
Jiang Wei said: "I can't find the store."
Jiang Ning was surprised: "Can't find the store?"
Jiang Ze said: "There is no suitable storefront."
Jiang Ning didn't ask any more questions, thinking that the three of them were wasting their breath.
After comforting Zhou Aiguo for a while, a young couple came over.
I saw people in their early twenties, a boy holding a microphone and a girl holding a camera, walking around in the crowd, as if they were filming. There weren't many people taking short videos last year, but this year there seem to be more and more. Many workers on the farm have learned how to take short videos.
Mother Jiang also learned it and takes pictures of her granddaughter every day.
My sister-in-law Chen Huiru was also filming.
Only Feng Yu doesn't shoot, and never even watches short videos.
There is no TikTok on my phone.
The young couple found a spot and it looked like they wanted to take a photo of them.
When Jiang Ning looked over, his unruly face seemed to scare the young couple a little.
The boy pushed the girl and they both walked away immediately.
Jiang Ning didn't know whether to laugh or cry. What was that serious?
Jiang Wei suddenly sighed, "We people born in the 1980s really can't keep up with the times. We are not as good as the girls born in the 1990s. There was a girl born in the 1990s in my store before. She shot short videos and became popular for no reason. She got millions of fans and quit her job to do live streaming. She made 500,000 yuan a year. I heard that the big brother gave her tens of thousands of yuan in tips each time."
Jiang Ning asked, "You are considered a big brother, have you ever given rewards to others?"
Jiang Wei waved his hand: "Reward, what kind of big brother am I? How can I throw away the money I worked so hard to earn? I can't understand what those big brothers do and why they are so rich."
Jiang Ze said, "Isn't it all reported? I feel depressed in real life, so I act like a big brother online, using credit cards and even taking out small loans to reward my sister. Jiang Ning has the capital to be a big brother, have you ever rewarded your sister?"
Jiang Ning took a sip of tea and asked, "Do you think I'm mentally retarded?"
Jiang Ze chuckled twice.
Jiang Wei added: "Nowadays, there are more people born in the 1990s than in the 2000s. People born in the 2000s have already started to enter society."
Jiang Ning nodded: "Feng Yu's cousin is from the millennium."
A group of people born in the 1970s and 1980s are lamenting that time makes them grow old quickly.
Jiang Ning thinks that's all problems. He was born after 95 and doesn't have so many feelings about this.
The responsible forest in Shaba is in a lot of trouble.
Ordinary people are worthy of sympathy, but sometimes their unreasonableness can also be a headache.
Even after the township stepped in, it was unable to stop the herders from driving their sheep to their responsibility forests.
The police station couldn't hold him for several days. After releasing him, they couldn't release him during the day. So they had to wait until after get off work and then drive the sheep over and release them for an hour or two. If they didn't catch him, it would be fine. If they did, the worst that could happen was that he would be locked up for a few days, and he wouldn't lose a single hair.
After Boss Lu came, he has been catching all kinds of irregularities.
In the past, there were plenty of ways to deal with these troublemakers.
But now it’s no longer possible, I feel restricted.
Even if you arrest someone, you can only persuade him.
Jiang Ning went to take a look and found that the grassland in the responsibility forest was not growing well.
After being nibbled by the sheep, it became bald again.
It's definitely not going to work like this.
Planting trees alone cannot hold back sand or retain water.
Other vegetation is necessary to effectively prevent soil and water loss.
After a round, I spread some fertilizer.
Let Lao Wang's men open the sluice gate and sprinkle water for a day.
Then we arranged for someone to come and sow more high-yield forage seeds.
Since we can't stop it, just let the grass grow faster.
But this is not a long-term solution.
Jiang Ning went to Lin Tou for help.
Lin Tou pushed bluntly: "I've already given it to you. There's nothing we can do about it."
Jiang Ning cursed: "Bullshit, I am only responsible for the maintenance of the responsible forest, not for dealing with those herdsmen. This is a force majeure factor, it is not my responsibility, you guys figure it out."
Lin Tou complained: "We can't control the herders either. You should ask Shaba to solve the problem."
Jiang Ning was unhappy: "If Shaba can solve the problem, why would I need to look for you?"
Lin Tou evaded the question: “The herders are from Shaba. If they can’t solve the problem, it’s no use for you to come to us.”
Jiang Ning revealed his purpose: "I plan to build a fence around the responsible forest, and you will pay for it."
Lin refused: "We don't have the budget."
Jiang Ningliang's trump card: "I will quit next year, you guys can do it on your own."
Mr. Lintou's boss suddenly got a headache and was so angry that he wanted to curse.
I'm used to being the boss and have never been threatened by anyone!
After a lot of arguing, they still refused to pay.
Jiang Ning filed a complaint, but Boss Lu was still able to handle the situation clearly.
It was not Lin Tou’s fault that he criticized the two squad leaders and deputy squad leaders of Shabasha.
This matter cannot be blamed on Lintou.
It can only be Shaba Township’s fault.
Shen Liming called and complained.
The affairs of ordinary people are the most complicated, especially now that they need to abide by the rules.
It is even more troublesome to deal with, which is really worrying.
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the farm workers are not going home.
After dinner, I strolled around the farm.
Walking on the road in the forest area, I felt a cool sensation all over my body.
Once outside the farm, the heat was unbearable.
Today is Saturday, and Feng Yu is also resting at home.
Jiang Ning returned to the farm and when he entered from the east gate, he saw several cars parked at the gate and several people were talking to the guard.
I stopped the car, rolled down the window and asked.
The guard replied, "He said he was a tourist from the city who wanted to go in and take a look."
Jiang Ning didn't ask any more questions and drove away.
This is a private farm, not a tourist farm.
What a fun visit. Before, we let people in to catch rabbits and it caused a lot of trouble.
The workers were cursing as they picked up garbage.
How could you do such a stupid thing?
There are so many things to do this weekend that I can't spare a single day.
The next day I was called to the county to meet several experts.
In the small meeting room, people from the county sat on one side.
A few ordinary-looking people sat opposite.
Jiang Ning walked in and had no idea where to sit.
After Boss Lu greeted him, he sat down next to the county people.
The deputy squad leader introduced them: "These are the expert members of the Northwest Scientific Expedition Team of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project."
Jiang Ning was confused and greeted them, "Hello, experts."
Several experts were also confused and couldn't figure out what he was doing.
The deputy monitor introduced: "This is the representative of the Bei'an entrepreneurs. He can provide some help to the experts."
Several experts were relieved.
Jiang Ning was even more confused. What help could he provide?
It's not a formal meeting, just a casual chat.
Jiang Ning listened for a while before he finally understood.
Several experts came to investigate the geography of the mountains and rivers. The west route project of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project has not been finalized yet. The authorities send scientific expedition teams every year to conduct repeated investigations and demonstrations. However, this time they were invited by the province to investigate the arid area of Hexi.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have come to Bei’an.
The county is so enthusiastic, of course it’s not for no reason.
Although the project is still a long way off, it is still unknown when it can start.
But finally, I had an idea. If the construction starts in the future and water is brought here, whether Bei'an can get some water and whether it can get some benefits in the planning depends on the results of the research and demonstration of these experts, so I am very concerned about it.
Several experts talked about the itinerary of this scientific expedition.
After chatting for half an hour, the expert was sent to Xincheng Hotel to rest.
Jiang Ning turned around and asked Boss Lu: "As far as I know, the South-to-North Water Diversion Project is mainly to divert water from the southwest rivers to the Yellow River, and it only solves the water shortage problem in the riverside areas. Bei'an is so far away, how can water be diverted here?"
Lu Jingwei said: "Of course we can't divert the water from the Yellow River, but there are several tributaries of the Yellow River in Xihai. The Huangshui River, which is closest to us, is separated by the Qilian Mountains. If we can divert the Huangshui River, the drought problem in Bei'an can be solved."
Jiang Ning was stunned: "Do you think this is realistic?"
Lu Jingwei said: "No matter if it is realistic or not, we must try our best. The higher-ups must also consider the drought problem in Hexi. We can't just solve the water shortage problem along the river basin without solving the water shortage problem in Hexi. Water from the south can be diverted to solve the drought problem along the river basin. The Huangshui River can also be diverted to solve the water shortage problem in Hexi. There must be some hope."
Jiang Ning nodded: "If this is successful, I will write a book specifically for you."
Lu Jingwei asked: "Can you write a 300-word essay?"
Jiang Ning: "..."
Lu Jingwei said, "The county has contacted Qi Ze. Tianxing Aviation will arrange a helicopter to come tomorrow. We will also use your helicopter. We will gather at the farm tomorrow morning. I haven't asked you yet, are you good at driving?"
Jiang Ning is full of confidence: "It's no problem for me to be a coach."
Lu Jingwei said: "That's good, safety first, there must be no problems."
The next morning, just after eight o'clock.
People from the county came with several experts.
When several experts arrived at the farm, they were all shocked.
I didn’t expect that such a farm could be built in the arid Northwest.
I had no plans to visit the farm originally, but after seeing it, I changed my plans and decided to take a look.
The county arranged a Coaster, so Jiang Ning didn't need to arrange a car.
So I got in the car and took a tour around.
They looked at the forest area that had been transformed, and then looked at the forest area that was being transformed. They were amazed at the wild rabbits in the forest area. They did not return to the office building until they heard a helicopter rumbling in the sky and flying over the farm.
The helicopter sent by Tianxing Aviation is the same model as Jiang Ning's.
It is also a four-seat Thunderbird.
The driver was in his early thirties and looked very capable.
We went downstairs and talked for a while.
Tianxing Aviation's helicopter was the pilot, with Jiang Ning following behind.
The scientific expedition team was divided into exactly six people. The team leader and two experts took Tianxing Aviation's helicopter, and the remaining three took Jiang Ning's helicopter. The team leader, Ke Yutian, was in his early forties and looked more like an old farmer than an expert.
The three people Jiang Ning was carrying were named Wang Qi and Zhou Zhichen.
There is another one, a woman named Jiang Lu, who is a master’s degree holder who just started working.
Two helicopters took off from the farm with some portable equipment.
After circling in the sky for a while, it flew towards the southwest.
Zhou Zhichen was very curious about Jiang Ning, mainly because he was worried about his youth, so he asked, "How many years have you had your pilot's license?"
Jiang Ning said: "I don't have a driver's license."
"..."
The three of them were stunned for a moment, and then they became uneasy.
Wang Qi leaned over from behind and said, "You can't be kidding. How can you fly a plane without a license?"
Jiang Ning hummed: "I'm studying now, and I'm going to take the test next week."
The three of them looked at each other, feeling frightened.
Jiang Lu was worried: "How can you fly a plane without a driver's license?"
Jiang Ning said, "I have five years of driving experience. I won't fall off. Don't worry."
The three of them couldn't feel at ease and were always tense.
It wasn't until we had been flying for twenty minutes that I saw that he was indeed driving steadily.
This and a little reassurance.
Helicopters fly in a straight line and are much faster than cars.
In ten minutes, we entered the mountains. The majestic Qilian Mountains passed below. Most of the mountains were barren with no grass, but there were also green mountains, large pine forests, and snow-capped mountains.
The snow never melts all year round.
The female comrades were quite interested. Jiang Lu looked at the mountains below and sighed: "Although the Qilian Mountains are not as famous as Mount Tai and Mount Huang, they are majestic and magnificent, and their momentum is not inferior to those famous mountains at all."
Zhou Zhichen said: "How can they be compared? Those mountains are just a few peaks, but the Qilian Mountains are a large mountain range, stretching 800 kilometers from east to west and 300 kilometers from north to south. The terrain and landforms are varied, and the climate is even more varied. If there is any comparison, it should be compared with the Kunlun Mountains and the Tianshan Mountains. The small mountains like Mount Tai and Mount Huang are not comparable to such a large mountain range."
Jiang Lu felt the same way and nodded.
Looking down, you can see peaks and ridges rising and falling among the mountains. The high and low mountains complement each other in the sun. The nearby mountains are surrounded by forests, like beautiful waves. Nature has endowed this land with the most primitive elegance and vastness.
It's really spectacular.
Compared with those famous mountain scenic spots, Qilian Mountains offers a completely different kind of scenery.
