Chapter 187
"Good, then let's not talk here; let's go inside and talk."
Liu Ximin's face was rippling with a smile, and he seemed to be much more energetic than before, looking ten years younger.
Sure enough, power is a man's spring medicine. Even if he is just a Village Party Secretary, he can be much younger.
The temporary Village Committee board room had already been built, mainly because many things had to be solved at the Village Committee, so Su Yang had asked the old secretary to lead people to build the temporary office of the Village Committee in advance.
"Town Mayor Su, thank you. I won't say any extra words. I am a person with a clumsy mouth and can't speak well. But in the future, just look at my performance. I will absolutely not drop the chain for you." On the way to the office, Liu Ximin leaned into Su Yang's ear and said very gratefully.
This time, after Zhao Jiefang was arrested, he naturally had a longing for the position of Village Party Secretary in his heart. Originally, he wanted to find an opportunity to tell Su Yang and send some gifts, but he didn't expect that before he had time to find Su Yang, Su Yang had implemented this matter for him. And he didn't ask him for a single cent of benefit.
At the beginning, as soon as Li Tian came, he asked him for benefits, and he just sent the position of Village Party Secretary a little late, and it was topped by Zhao Jiefang.
Of course, even if he sent it, this notice position couldn't be kept. After all, Zhao Jiefang and his son were unscrupulous and bottomless in order to squeeze the villagers. This point was very much to Li Tian's appetite.
If he had done it, he would definitely not have squeezed the hard-earned money of the common people like Zhao Da Yong and his son, and bullied people with extremely low prices to acquire apples.
Su Yang laughed and said, "Old Secretary, this is the will of the people. Even if I didn't mention it here, I believe that besides you, no one else would want to be the Village Party Secretary."
After entering the Village Committee office, Su Yang said directly to the point, "President Zhou, President Dai, Old Secretary, I called you together today mainly to choose the address for the apple processing plant and build the factory."
"My opinion is to build it next to our village. After all, the apple processing plant has no pollution, and it is convenient for us to be close, and the villagers can come to work or sell apples in the future, etc."
"Oh, of course, selling apples doesn't exist either. Once the apple plant is built, sign a purchase agreement with the villagers and sign it in advance according to the market price."
"In the future, when the apples are mature, just pull them all over. I believe there should be no problem with this point." Zhou Chao and Old Secretary Liu Ximin both nodded.
"Of course there is no problem. The people in our village who want to work basically don't see anyone for a year. Now that they can work in the village, they will be so happy."
"I guess they will be too late to thank you when the time comes."
Zhou Chao also said, "If that's the case, then it's even better. We don't need to go out to acquire apples; we just need to arrange for people in the factory to be responsible for receiving them. Most of the energy can still be placed on production and sales."
"Now the whole production line I brought over, just waiting for Town Mayor Su to choose the site."
Su Yang laughed and said, "Just the place I just mentioned at the east end of the village, where the place is wide and close to the road."
Zhou Chao and Liu Ximin both indicated no problem.
Then Su Yang said to Li Hu, "Old Li, you watch this matter. Start construction officially today. Don't engage in any opening ceremony."
"You first let the Finance Office allocate 30% of the advance payment to President Dai."
"President Dai, I won't say any extra words. The project quality is our need and also your reputation. So the construction speed must be caught up, and the project quality must be guaranteed."
"Otherwise, I have no way to explain to the villagers, and no way to explain to our President Zhou. He was invited back by me from the neighboring county after going through all kinds of hardships. Whether our village can get rid of poverty and get rich depends entirely on President Zhou."
Dai Nan hurriedly said, "Town Mayor Su, rest assured, whether it is this housing construction or factory construction, I will complete it with guaranteed quality and quantity."
Dai Nan is also a smart person. People Su Yang gave his sister so much face, he couldn't hold back, and he also wanted to make friends with Su Yang. According to his sister's statement, following Su Yang has soup to drink and meat to eat.
But the premise is that he must be obedient, do things seriously, and absolutely cannot cut corners and deal with it.
And before construction started, people paid the money. This kind of thing, they who do projects don't dare to dream even in their dreams.
"Good, since that's the case, then this matter is settled. Still according to the original established plan, complete the factory construction within a month, and must complete production within three months."
"During this period, President Dai, President Zhou, and Old Secretary Liu, you three communicate with each other if you have any problems. I believe that the big and small problems encountered during this period can be solved by you."
Dai Nan, Zhou Chao, and Liu Ximin nodded heavily. For the three of them, Su Yang's words were orders. Don't say that this matter didn't have any difficulties. Even if there were, they would do their best to complete it and would absolutely not add any trouble to Su Yang.
After the matter was finished, Su Yang originally wanted to return, but Liu Ximin wouldn't let him go no matter what. He had to invite Su Yang to have a lunch together. Su Yang couldn't refuse, so he could only agree. Then, taking advantage of this time, he also wanted to turn around in the village.
He lit a cigarette and walked around the periphery of the entire resettlement site, and a picture of the reconstruction was already in his mind.
Smoke from kitchen chimneys everywhere in the village, children playing and frolicking, old people basking in the sun under the walls of the newly built homes, and adults in the village working in the apple processing plant at the entrance of the village. What a beautiful picture this is.
The biggest dream of rural people in their lives is to be able to accompany the elderly in the village, to be able to earn some money at the entrance of the village, to be able to watch their children grow up, and to be able to live a safe and healthy life. This is such a simple and plain ideal, but it often cannot be realized.
To make money and live a life, one has to leave their hometown. Once some people leave, the elderly have to be forced to farm and work in the fields, and the children all become left-behind children.
If it's not handled well, the wife runs away with someone, and in the end, nothing is left.
Being able to change this status quo for them, for Su Yang, is more meaningful than personal promotion and the so-called political achievements.
He was squatting on a field ridge imagining when a soft call came from behind, "Town Mayor Su."
Su Yang looked back and saw it was Wang Erni.
Wang Erni, who was already outstanding in appearance and good in figure, had put on light makeup today, tied a ponytail behind her head, and wore a white shirt. The proud part of her chest was pushed up into a small mountain, which was very seductive.
Especially in a place like the village, it looked particularly outstanding, coupled with her slightly shy expression, which made Su Yang tremble.
"Oh, it's Teacher Wang. When were you discharged from the hospital? Why didn't you tell me? I was thinking of going to the county to see you in the hospital in these two days."
Wang Erni said, "I've been out for two days. I originally wanted to thank you specially, but you haven't been in the town for these few days."
Wang Erni's words were actually half true and half false. She really wanted to thank Su Yang, but the village was destroyed, and there was nothing left in her home.
She had no money on her, so she couldn't go to thank people empty-handed. That wouldn't be appropriate. Mainly, there was nothing she could send. Even if it was a native chicken egg, there wasn't one.
Today, hearing that Su Yang was coming, her mood was excited and uneasy. She really wanted to see Su Yang, but she didn't know what to say after seeing Su Yang. Just now, she wandered around the door of the temporary office of the Village Committee for a while, and finally saw Su Yang squatting on the field ridge smoking alone, so she gathered the courage to come over.
