Chapter 249: Rarely Recruited
Chapter 249: Rarely Recruited
Aunt Feng Yu's cousin Zheng Tongbo is in the system. He is 30 years old and still unmarried, which is considered an older youth in a small county in the northwest. If he is not in the system, he would be an older bachelor, not an older youth.
They are all cousins, but there is a big gap between them.
Feng Yu's cousin doesn't want to get married simply because he's not ready yet.
I don't want to get married too early.
In fact, we have been in love for several years and all we need is the formalities.
If my cousin doesn't get married, no one will marry him.
So the situation is still different.
I remember that on the day Feng Yu got married, it was Zheng Tongbo who carried her downstairs.
I received a call from home just after I got to work in the morning. My cousin and her family were coming over.
Last year during the Chinese New Year, my cousin and her family went out.
We haven't seen each other for almost half a year, so I have to entertain you no matter what.
Zheng Tongbo went to his leader to ask for leave.
When the leader heard this, he asked, "Which cousin? Is she Teacher Feng from Bei'an?"
Zheng Tongbo nodded: "Yes."
The leader asked, "Is your cousin's husband coming?"
Zheng Tongbo said: "It seems to be coming."
The leader became excited: "Your cousin's husband is very powerful now. The big boss can't even meet him. Bei'an was not as good as our Qi Ze. Look at its development in the past two years. In just two years, it has become the largest breeding county in the province. Last year, its GDP ranked among the top 20 counties in the province. This year, it is expected to be in the top 10. One farm has solved Bei'an's billions of debts. Now Bei'an is lightly equipped and has entered a high-growth stage. It is rapidly widening the gap with its brother counties."
Zheng Tongbo said: "I heard that Jiang Ning spends most of his time abroad."
The leader asked, "Would it be convenient for Fang to arrange to come to the county to meet with the boss?"
Zheng Tongbo was embarrassed: "Leader, I can't say this kind of thing!"
The leader talked about feelings: "Xiao Zheng, you are also from Qi Ze, don't you want Qi Ze to develop better? You know how much Qi Ze has worked over the years, but Qi Ze has no mineral resources and no location advantages, so it can only develop agriculture and animal husbandry, but it has never been large-scale and the quality is not high. Since you have this relationship, shouldn't you make some contribution to your hometown?"
Zheng Tongbo was helpless and simply told the truth: "Boss, I talked to my cousin. Jiang Ning's career is all overseas and he has no intention of developing in China. The ranch was only started because Lu Shushu from Bei'an approached Jiang Ning several times. The big boss also went to inspect it several times. If Jiang Ning wanted to invest, the big boss would have approached him long ago."
The leader said earnestly: "That's why we need you to make some contributions to the development of Qi Ze! You are relatives, so it's easier for you to communicate. You can play the emotional card. The organization is so confident in you, shouldn't you make some contributions to the development and construction of your hometown within your capacity?"
Zheng Tongbo was speechless. This was even a case of moral blackmail.
This is so meow...
I really want to curse.
This is the most terrible thing.
I was just interviewed a while ago, and I was told that there will be a chance for promotion next year.
If you don't obey, you'll probably be in trouble.
My cousin came at a really bad time.
Zheng Tongbo left the unit with a sigh and drove home.
He bought his own house and now doesn't live with his parents.
When we arrived at the community and went upstairs, my parents had also taken leave and returned from work.
I also bought a lot of things, such as vegetables, meat, eggs, etc.
Apparently preparing lunch.
Zheng Tongbo asked as he changed his slippers, "When will they arrive?"
Zheng Kaiming said: "I think she'll be here soon. Your mom said she had already left when she called."
Zheng Tongbo asked: "Why don't you come on the weekend? You're busy during the week."
Feng Yumei said: "Xiaoyu said Jiang Ning will leave the day after tomorrow, so he is free today."
Zheng Tongbo was speechless: "Rich people are really busy."
Zheng Kaiming said: "No one has it easy in this society. No one gets anything without hard work. Ordinary people don't have enough money to spend, and big bosses don't have enough time. Isn't it the same principle?"
Zheng Tongbo also understood this and said, "I accidentally let it slip when I asked for leave. When our director heard that Jiang Ning was coming, he asked me to arrange a meeting between Jiang Ning and the big boss. I should have known better than to tell him that Jiang Ning was coming."
Zheng Kaiming said: "Don't do anything that makes people embarrassed."
Zheng Tongbo nodded, a little worried about how to explain to his leader.
As we were talking, someone seemed to come up.
Zheng Tongbo hurried to the door and looked out through the peephole.
I saw Feng Yu holding the baby in front, and Feng Xue following behind.
Jiang Ning followed behind with a box in one hand.
Just turned the corner between the second and third floors.
So he opened the door, went out and stood at the door.
Feng Yu saw him open the door and come out, and greeted him, "Brother is here too!"
Feng Xue could only gesture.
Zheng Kaiming said: "I was just talking to my dad about when you guys would arrive. I didn't expect it to be so soon."
As Feng Yu walked up the stairs, he said, "Jiang Ning drove too fast. It only took more than half an hour."
Jiang Ning followed and called out "Brother".
Zheng Kaiming smiled and nodded: "Come into the house quickly."
When I entered the house, Uncle Feng Yu and Aunt Feng were greeting me at the door.
Saying hello.
Zheng Kaiming saw the box in Jiang Li's hand and said, "It's not a festival, why are you taking things?"
Jiang Ning was quite honest: "It's embarrassing to visit relatives empty-handed."
Zheng Kaiming smiled and asked the person to sit on the sofa.
The little guy got down to the ground and stood between his two mothers.
Look at strangers with curiosity.
Feng Yumei poured tea while saying, "I haven't seen you for almost half a year. Tiantian is so old now. Call me aunt."
Of course the little guy didn't cry.
Feng Yu then taught: "Tiantian, call me auntie."
The little guy listens to his mother the most, and said in a baby voice: "Auntie."
Feng Yumei was so happy that before going out for the Spring Festival last year, the three of them brought their child here. At that time, the little one had just turned one year old and could only call dad, mom, grandpa and grandma, and not anything else.
I haven't seen it for five months. Look how smoothly its little mouth is barking.
Feng Yu continued to teach her daughter: "This is my uncle."
"Grandpa."
"Give my regards to my uncle."
"..."
"Say hello to my uncle."
"Hello, uncle."
"This is my uncle."
"uncle."
"Give my regards to uncle."
"Hello, uncle."
Zheng Kaiming and Zheng Tongbo were both very happy. This little guy was really adorable.
Not only is she pretty and cute, but she also has a strong talent for languages.
There are many children who cannot call dad and mom at the age of two.
Feng Yumei poured tea and made a fruit plate.
Then she sat down on the side and called the little one, "Come here, Tiantian, let your aunt hold you."
The little guy turned his head, looked around, and leaned into his mother's arms.
Do not care.
The more Feng Yumei looked at him, the more she found him rare. This little guy was so adorable.
I wonder if my son can give birth to such a lovely granddaughter after he gets married.
Tease the little guy for a while.
Feng Yumei then asked the adults: "Where are your parents-in-law? Are they still in Australia?"
Feng Yu said: "I came back in April, stayed for more than half a month, and then left again when school started."
Feng Yumei asked: "Can you get used to it over there?"
Feng Yu said: "I was definitely not used to it at first, but I got used to it after a while. My mother-in-law learned English very quickly and can already communicate with foreigners. My father-in-law can also speak a few words, but not as well as my mother-in-law."
Feng Yumei nodded and asked Feng Xue: "When will Xiaoxue have a child?"
Zheng Kaiming and his son Zheng Tongbo both looked at Feng Xue.
I didn’t know this when I came here last year.
Feng Yumei found out about this when she met Feng Yu's aunt in April.
The eldest niece also followed Jiang Ning.
Feng Xue was embarrassed and gestured with a red face.
Feng Yu took the initiative to explain: "I plan to wait until Tiantian is older, when she is three years old and goes to kindergarten, and I will also have one. Then I will be able to get away and won't have to be around Tiantian all day. It will be a good opportunity for me to take care of the child together with you."
Feng Yumei said, "That's good too. Xiaoxue is 28 this year. In two years, she will be 30. It will be in time for her to have a child."
It's not good for men to get involved in this topic.
And it is not very ethical after all.
It's embarrassing to listen to.
Zheng Kaiming asked Jiang Ning: "Is your brother still growing medicinal herbs?"
Jiang Ning said: "Next year he won't plant it. He'll get a piece of land next to it and do the farming himself."
Zheng Kaiming nodded: "That's good too. Lu Shushu from Bei'an is gone?"
Jiang Ning said: "He just left yesterday."
Zheng Kaiming said: "What a pity."
“It’s a pity indeed.”
"I heard that you settled the county's debts before leaving?"
“I sold a portion of the farm’s shares.”
“This is truly serving the people wholeheartedly!”
Zheng Kaiming was quite impressed and said, "I have been working for most of my life, but this is the first time I have seen such a person in real life. No wonder Bei'an has developed so fast in the past two years. Projects have been implemented one after another, and its GDP is almost catching up with Linhe District."
Jiang Ning said: "The total operating income of the two farms last year was just over 10 billion. I don't know how the GDP of over 10 billion was calculated."
Zheng Tongbo continued, "That's different. GDP is the gross national product of the entire county, which is different from the calculation method used by companies to calculate operating income. In the past two years, Bei'an has built many meat processing factories and wood processing factories. Although these companies are not as large as farms, they are also creating value and can contribute to GDP."
Jiang Ning nodded. Of course he understood this.
And just when he was chatting with Feng Yu's uncle and cousin.
Qi Ze County Government Office.
The big boss also received a report that the God of Wealth from Bei'an came to visit relatives in Qi Ze.
"You must keep him here. I'm going back now."
The big boss was in the city and couldn't sit still when he received the call.
The conditions in Qi Ze are actually better than those in Beian, because it is located in the upper reaches of Ruoshui River and has no shortage of water. Agriculture has always been a pillar industry, and its development in the past was better than that of Beian. However, in the past two years, Beian has developed very rapidly as if it had been equipped with a rocket booster.
The whole city is discussing this.
There is a high probability that the total GDP this year will exceed that of Linhe District where the municipal government is located.
Bei'an has scarce resources, with only some coal resources at most.
But if the industrial chain cannot be established, that thing cannot drive economic development.
It will also cause huge damage to the environment and ecology.
However, the establishment of Xianling Field 1 and 2 directly solved the problem of insufficient resources in Bei'an. In the past two years, various wood processing plants and meat processing plants have been built one after another. Seeing that they are about to take off, how can we not envy our brother counties to death? Compared with Bei'an, Qi Ze is also short of resources.
Even though it is located in the upper reaches of the Ruoshui River, the water resources are more abundant than those in Beian.
However, the agricultural economy is small and scattered, and cannot form economies of scale.
The major problem of insufficient resources still cannot be solved.
Qi Ze had worked before, but Jiang Ning didn't want to invest in other places. He had previously wanted to make a breakthrough from Feng Yu through exchanges in the education system. The big boss had also approached Jiang Ning several times, but he either declined or declined.
Or the person is not there and runs outside to enclose the land.
It is particularly hard to see them this year. I asked several times and they were all abroad.
It's a rare opportunity for the God of Wealth to come to visit us, so how can we not seize the opportunity and strive for it?
This time node is too delicate. Only two years have passed since the critical year, and there are still three years to the next critical year. However, the following transfers will basically begin one after the year after next, so there are only two years left at most.
If you don't work harder, you won't be able to hand in a good transcript.
It’s hard to say where we will go then.
Without resources, the economy has no engine.
For the northwestern counties, the only thing they can rely on for economic development is resources.
What Boss Jiang is best at is creating resources.
Let the barren land grow valuable resources needed for economic development.
In the eyes of the big boss, it is also the only lifeline for Qi Ze's economic takeoff.
No matter what, we have to try again.
The main reason is that it’s so difficult to meet people.
If I don’t seize the opportunity this time, I might end up flying abroad again.
He rushed back to Qi Ze and asked about the situation first.
The second boss said, "He's at Zheng Kaiming's house. It looks like he's going to have lunch. The car is still downstairs. Someone is waiting. We'll report back if anything happens. Liao Junping has sent a message to Zheng Tongbo. Let's find out the itinerary first."
The big boss said: "Then find out as soon as possible and make proper arrangements."
The second boss said, "This is what I thought. Let the people below go over and invite him. Even if he comes for the sake of face, it may not solve the problem. According to the information we have, Teacher Feng will not only visit his aunt's house when he comes to Qi Ze to visit relatives, but will also most likely go to his uncle's house. Bei'an said that Boss Jiang will go abroad the day after tomorrow, and he will most likely not stay overnight in Qi Ze today. I guess he will go to Teacher Feng's uncle's house in the afternoon. After lunch, I will wait downstairs at Zheng Kaiming's house to personally express my sincerity."
The big boss said, "I will go with you. If you want to show your sincerity, then show your utmost sincerity. As long as we can get an economic engine for the development of Qi Ze, let alone three visits to the thatched cottage, it would be worth it even if we serve as gatekeepers for a while."
The second boss nodded and agreed with this statement.
Strive for a career, no matter how it works.
Results are always the hard indicators.
Bending down for the sake of good results is nothing.
There is no shortage of investment in developed regions, but it is different in the Northwest, which is almost an investment depression. In order to attract investment, the big boss and the second-in-command have personally traveled to the south to meet the bosses of those large enterprises many times.
However, the northwest is too far away and has no locational advantage.
There are no resources, no matter how hard you try, you will only have a lot of intentions.
Very little investment can actually be made.
If only we could convince the God of Wealth of Bei’an to come to Qi Ze to invest and build a farm.
Why visit again if you wait downstairs?
at the same time.
Zheng Tongbo chatted with Jiang Ning for a while, and suddenly received a message from his leader on WeChat.
When I opened it, I was speechless.
I was in a dilemma for a while.
Zheng Tongbo asked again: "Jiang Ning, our leader sent me a message asking me when you will return to Bei'an?"
Jiang Ning was a little surprised: "Your leader?"
Zheng Tongbo said helplessly, "When I asked for leave this morning, I accidentally let it slip that our leader heard that you were coming over and wanted me to arrange a meeting between you and the big boss. He probably wanted you to invest in Qi Ze. I didn't intend to tell you, but the leader just sent me a WeChat message asking me to find out about your schedule. It's really embarrassing..."
Jiang Ning smiled and said, "What's the problem? Just tell me directly. I have to leave the day after tomorrow. I won't stay in Qi Ze tonight. I have to go to my uncle's house after dinner..."
Zheng Kaiming said, "You will leave the day after tomorrow. Don't leave today. Stay in Qi Ze for one night. It won't be too late to leave tomorrow."
Jiang Ning said, "I have to go back. I have something to do tonight."
Zheng Kaiming didn't try to persuade him to stay.
Zheng Tongbo replied to his leader and reported his itinerary.
Jiang Ning didn't know that there was someone keeping watch downstairs.
After chatting for a while, Feng Yumei went to the kitchen to prepare lunch.
Zheng Kaiming also went to help, leaving his son to accompany Jiang Ningyi.
Feng Xue originally wanted to help, but was stopped.
Don't let her into the kitchen.
Zheng Tongbo really wanted to ask Jiang Ning what it felt like to have two wives.
But since it involves my two cousins, it’s really difficult to ask.
I observed secretly and found that Jiang Ning and his two cousins were quite natural.
There was nothing wrong, nothing different from before.
Perhaps the only difference is Jiang Ning's attitude towards Xiaoxue.
In the past, they treated each other with respect, but now they treat Xiaoyu the same way.
Xiaoyu acted as if nothing had happened and didn't feel bothered at all.
Zheng Tongbo felt quite jealous. Which man would not envy such good fortune?
Chatted for a while.
Jiang Ning's cell phone rang. He looked at the number and saw it was Kong Fangfei calling.
I got up and went to the window to answer the phone.
After answering the call, I sat down and continued chatting.
Feng Yu heard a few words and asked, "Did you buy another car?"
Jiang Ning nodded: "Didn't you say that the European car was nice-looking? So you asked Kong Fangfei to go to the port and buy one."
Feng Yu was speechless: "I already said I won't buy it."
Jiang Ning was eating melon seeds: "Who told you to say it's good-looking? If you say it's good-looking, I'll buy it for you."
Feng Yu was suspicious: "Why do I feel like you want to buy it?"
Jiang Ning nodded and said, "Just think of it as me wanting to buy it!"
Feng Yu was extremely speechless and thought that he should never express his opinions carelessly again.
Otherwise, one day you might have to take the blame for no reason.
The corners of Zheng Tongbo's mouth twitched. The poor will never understand the world of the rich.
If nothing unexpected happens, the car he bought should be a Bentley Continental.
A car worth several million dollars, just because Xiaoyu said it looked good.
Just let people buy it directly.
Zheng Tongbo asked, "Your farm has been very popular recently. Do you want to organize workers to travel abroad?"
Jiang Ning nodded: "Many people have never been abroad in their lives. It's not good to give too much money. Let's organize everyone to go out and see the outside world and gain some knowledge."
Zheng Tongbo said, "Everyone in Qi Ze knows that the wages at your farm are very high. The year-end bonus is hundreds of thousands. Even a handyman in the cafeteria can get a year-end bonus of nearly 100,000. I wonder how many people envy you."
Jiang Ning said: "It's not easy for the workers either. They used to suffer a lot, and many of them were still in debt. If they were paid more, their lives would be better, and my ancestors would have a more stable life. Otherwise, I don't know how the workers would greet them."
Zheng Tongbo's face twitched, and he couldn't help laughing: "Everyone in Qi Ze is saying that your farm is a Feng Shui treasure land. Whatever you plant will grow, and with so many rabbits, you can sell them for a lot of money in a year."
Jiang Ning did not explain: "Selling rabbits is okay. Last year, we sold more than 4 million rabbits, which is a little over 200 million yuan. The income from selling rabbits is almost catching up with the income from selling wood. This year, it should exceed the income from wood."
Zheng Tongbo asked: "What is the cost?"
Jiang Ning said: "Not counting the tens of millions in salary, it's mainly fuel, equipment maintenance, and water and electricity costs."
Zheng Tongbo took a breath and said, "This is even more profitable than high technology."
Jiang Ning smiled and said, "The expenses are also high. Last year, the researchers alone spent tens of millions. The labor costs are also high, and the salaries are more than 100 million. The county also collects wool from time to time, and the surplus is only a little over 300 million."
Zheng Tongbo said: "That's also scary. Among these companies in Qi Ze, only two have an annual profit of more than five million, and none have an annual profit of over ten million. The total annual profit of the thirty companies is less than eighty million, which is less than one-third of the farm."
Jiang Ning said: "It's good enough if small businesses can survive."
Zheng Tongbo nodded and asked, "Why doesn't the farm use large machinery? There should be large machinery that can replace manual labor for logging and catching rabbits, right? Using machinery should reduce labor costs a lot."
Jiang Ning said, "It's not necessary. The farm is enough to support the people. If the large machinery is installed, the workers will have no work. Then the people of Bei'an will scold me for being rich and unkind. Maybe someone will even dig up my ancestral graves in the middle of the night."
Zheng Tongbo's face twitched.
Feng Yu couldn't help laughing, and Feng Xue also smiled.
Jiang Ning asked, "How much debt does Qi Ze have?"
Zheng Tongbo said: "More than 5 billion."
“What about fiscal revenue?”
“Less than 400 million.”
“How much is the non-tax amount?”
"Nearly 200 million."
"What about the land?"
"The land transfer payment was just over 100 million yuan."
"The fines account for the bulk of the money!"
"No way, there is really no place to get money."
Jiang Ning said, "I remember seeing Qi Ze's financial report once. It was last year or something. One of the items in the budget expenditure report was more than 30 million for technological innovation. Where did the money go?"
Zheng Tongbo said something.
Jiang Ning didn't think much of it.
Feng Yu smacked his lips and said, "You really know how to have fun."
The little guy took an orange and after a long time he finally peeled the skin.
He broke off an orange segment and ran over to stuff it into Jiang Ning's mouth: "Daddy, eat it."
Jiang Ning took a look and saw that the orange segments were broken into pieces, but he didn't dislike it and just opened his mouth to take it and eat it.
The little guy broke off another one and ran to feed it to Feng Yu: "Mommy, eat it."
"Mmm, eat, mom!"
Feng Yu opened his mouth and ate.
The little guy broke off another one and ran to feed it to Feng Xue: "Mommy, eat it."
Feng Xue ate it, touched the little guy's head, and pointed at Zheng Tongbo.
Feng Yu also taught her daughter: "You still have your uncle, why don't you feed him?"
The little guy looked at it, didn't want to give it, and leaned in Feng Xue's arms.
That little look is so cute.
Everyone laughed.
We chatted for two hours and I don't know how many times we refilled our tea.
Uncle Feng Yu and Aunt Feng Yu finally prepared lunch.
Zheng Kaiming came out and greeted them, then moved to the restaurant to eat.
While eating, Zheng Tongbo replied to messages from time to time.
I don’t know if it’s my girlfriend or my boss.
After lunch, wait for Aunt Feng Yu to finish cleaning up.
We sat on the sofa and chatted for a while before getting up to say goodbye.
Getting ready to go to Uncle Feng Yu’s house.
Aunt Feng Yu tried to persuade her to stay, but when she saw that she couldn't keep her, she sent her downstairs.
When they got downstairs, everyone was stunned.
