Chapter 384: Implementing the Vegetable Greenhouse Plan in Shuangfeng Town

Honey, I'm preparing to fully implement the vegetable greenhouse planting plan in Shuangfeng Town. Will you support me? Lin Wei is now the deputy mayor of Shuangfeng Town. Since Mayor Wang Xigui's health is poor and he needs long-term recuperation in the hospital, she is also exercising the mayor's authority.

Dongyang County Party Secretary Gong Wen made this arrangement, mainly because he considered that Lin Wei's work experience is short, and directly promoting her to mayor would cause controversy.

Although acting as deputy mayor while exercising the mayor's authority does not change her rank, it grants her absolute authority. Once Lin Wei establishes herself in Shuangfeng Town, she can rightfully take over the mayor's position.

After inspecting Shuangfeng Town, Lin Wei finally decided to adopt Xu Li's promoted "vegetable greenhouse plan" as the breakthrough for the town's economic development.

She urgently called Chen Yang back, hoping to get financial assistance.

Chen Yang felt Lin Wei's vision wasn't high enough. "Honey, you should build more factories. The GDP generated by a vegetable greenhouse base is far too low compared to factories."

Lin Wei gave Chen Yang a glance and said: "Shuangfeng Town is all farmers. Building a factory there, if the scale is too small, farmers won't see any benefit; if the scale is too large, everyone will stop farming and the land will lie fallow."

"But developing vegetable greenhouses maximizes land use and stabilizes farmers' income growth. This is my rural revitalization plan."

Chen Yang felt Lin Wei was still too deeply influenced by Xu Li. Since he couldn't persuade her, he could only let her try it first.

"What scale of vegetable greenhouse base are you planning? Will you organize it by collective or by individual households?"

Lin Wei said confidently: "I'm making two-handed preparations. Not only will I set up a collective vegetable greenhouse base, but I will also support individual farmers using their own land for individual greenhouse planting. Here I need your trading company to give some support, and try to sign all their greenhouse orders."

Chen Yang nodded: "As long as the product quality is fine, our trading company can sign a distribution agreement with them."

Lin Wei looked at Chen Yang and said: "Honey, about the funds, could you cover half? The other half I can have them borrow from the credit union."

Chen Yang frowned slightly; he really didn't have a good impression of Shuangfeng Town's farmers. Especially those troublemakers who caused a scene at Laobaixing Meat Industry Limited Company last time—they were nothing but greedy ghosts reborn, daring to demand 200,000 in compensation for a scrap of land. If we gave them money to build greenhouses, who knows if they'd just pocket it outright.

If one or two people embezzle the greenhouse subsidies, Chen Yang can still use legal means to recover them. But if an entire village bands together to swindle him, there's nothing he can do.

"Honey, other villages in your town need financial support; I can consider it. But that Liu Shu Village on the town's outskirts—a gang of troublemakers and layabouts—I really don't want to invite trouble for myself."

Lin Wei had also heard Chen Yang mention the incident where Liu Shu Village villagers caused trouble at Laobaixing Meat Industry Limited Company. She smiled and said: "I've already discussed it with Secretary Hu. Liu Shu Village will develop the vegetable greenhouse base under the collective's name. If any problems arise, we'll directly hold the village cadres responsible."

Chen Yang reminded her: "Honey, you'd better keep your guard up. Even when they go crazy, Town Party Secretary Hu Tianyu can't handle them, let alone you, who's just a newly appointed deputy mayor."

Lin Wei smiled calmly: "I'm not as easy to talk to as Secretary Hu. If they dare to cause trouble at the town government again, I'll have them arrested—several at a time."

Seeing Chen Yang was determined to carry out the vegetable greenhouse plan, he could only go along.

"Go calculate roughly how much money is needed and give me a round number."

"Also, you must make it clear to any units or individuals wanting to join the plan that, before my investment is repaid, they are not allowed to sign sales contracts with other enterprises or individuals."

Lin Wei joked: "You're now the largest agricultural products seller in Qingshui City—are you afraid someone will poach your business?"

Chen Yang said sternly: "You can never be too wary of others. The better your business does, the more likely it is to attract envy. If a few people who dislike me deliberately sabotage things and cut off my supply chain, the entire sales system of Laobaixing Agricultural Products Trading Company will be affected."

Lin Wei snorted: "Anyone who dares to cause trouble in Shuangfeng Town, I'll make sure they regret it."

After saying that, she opened her computer and began making an investment budget for the vegetable greenhouse plan in Shuangfeng Town.

After driving for several hours, Chen Yang was tired, took a shower, and fell asleep in bed.

When he woke up again, it was already daylight. Lin Wei was no longer in the room, leaving only a note on the table saying she had important matters to attend to in Shuangfeng Town first.

Faced with such a workaholic wife, Chen Yang was speechless.

They hadn't seen each other for over ten days; when they met, they only talked about work, neglecting even the duties spouses owe each other as she slipped away.

Still, despite the complaints, Chen Yang still had to handle the logistical work for her properly.

After breakfast, he drove straight to Shuanglin Market, found Ouyang Sheng, and had him go to Shuangfeng Town to help Lin Wei settle the investment agreement for the vegetable greenhouses.

After Ouyang Sheng left, he went to the Laobaixing Advertising Company opposite Shuanglin Market to look around.

The new company had been fully renovated; Wang Haiyang and Yang XiaoXue moved their offices to the first floor. Besides the cleaner Xiao Chunhua, Wang Haiyang also hired a finance officer, a graphic designer, and a creative designer.

Despite the spacious office, only six people work there, and it actually feels rather empty.

Moreover, Chen Yang had originally set up this advertising company just to place relatives and connections; he didn't really care whether it could grow big and strong.

On the contrary, Wang Haiyang wasn't satisfied with the status quo; as soon as he saw Chen Yang arrive, he immediately submitted the several advertising deals he'd taken on privately for Chen Yang's review, hoping to get approval.

Wang Haiyang assured Chen Yang: "Boss, rest assured, the company's business over there is specially handled by Yang XiaoXue, and there will be no mistakes."

Chen Yang told Wang Haiyang: "Old Wang, you're the person in charge here; as long as it's beneficial to the company, you can decide on your own. But no matter how much business you take on outside, if the sister company has a demand, you must prioritize handling the sister company's business."

Wang Haiyang assured Chen Yang: "Boss, rest assured, the company's business over there is specially handled by Yang XiaoXue, and there will be no mistakes."

Chen Yang suddenly thought of something and told Wang Haiyang: "If you have free time these two days, prepare a few public service announcements focusing on epidemic prevention knowledge. Then put up a few ad spots in crowded places in Qingshui City and hang those PSAs there."

"Got it, I'll get ready right away!" Wang Haiyang often coordinated work with Shen Anna and had some understanding of the dangers of the S virus. Seeing Chen Yang suddenly want to do public service announcements, his expression turned grave.
