Agriculture Maniac

Chapter 79: Light Rail and Fruit Plate Profits
Recognizing that Sanyuan Agriculture’s track is a light rail will only benefit the city of Tai and not harm it.

First, the city doesn’t need to pay for it.

Second, Sanyuan Agriculture plans to take over two million acres of arable land from Shiliying to Dongyue Tianwaiqiao.

The third is to lay this rail transit and then connect it to the Taiqian Railway Station in the west, which is equivalent to adding a new transportation system to the Dongyue Scenic Area, including Tai City.

Fourth, it is conducive to the development of Thai city.

Fifth, Yu Yang is one of us.

The problem is, taking abandoned tracks and adding a few electric locomotives that are close to being scrapped, they claim to have created a symbol of a developed city: light rail.

Is it too outrageous?
Isn’t that a bit self-deceptive?
Mr. Dong didn't hesitate for too long because he really wanted it.

And he knew why Yu Yang wanted to change the track category to light rail.

Once it is converted to light rail, the overall value of the mountains of discarded rails in the township compound will rise sharply.

The 2000 million yuan loan that I had previously applied for from the county agricultural branch now had collateral.

Unfortunately, the Dongyue Scenic Area occupies most of Tai City’s budget.

The merger of Dongshan Agricultural University with Dongshan Water Conservancy and Dongshan Forestry also requires funds to expand the campus.

In addition to the reform of state-owned enterprises, money is needed in all aspects.

Tai City, which has only two county towns and relies entirely on state-owned enterprises to support its GDP, is far inferior to Wei City, where Shouguang is located. It has little fiscal revenue at all, and cannot provide much funding.

Old Dong sighed with regret and followed Yu Yang onto the passenger electric rail car.

Just like the rail buses in nostalgic movies from the 1930s and 1940s, they have now changed a lot.

The shell is round and white in color. The two sides are painted with blue primer and the word "harmony" is sprayed on them.

It does look more upscale than the subway.

Perhaps people who don’t know the inside story would really think that this is Thailand’s light rail, a new type of transportation.

Mr. Dong felt a little relieved.

But as soon as he stepped into the carriage, he suddenly lost his composure.

There were many small stools piled up at the door, and the carriage was completely empty.

Yu Yang next to him naturally picked up a stool, opened it, and sat down in the window seat according to the number on the ground.

"Boss, making chairs takes time and costs money. Now is an emergency, so please make do with it!"

Old Dong took a deep breath, picked up a stool, and sat down by the window on the other side. "How can I include it in the light rail if you do this?"

“I believe you can handle it.”

"..."

A little bit.

Under the operation of the vice president of Tai City Transportation College, the Harmony train was started, with a speed far exceeding that of the current train. In a breath, it had left the brick kiln area and entered the Shiliying Township compound.

Then, on the shore of Pingdong Lake, we made a U-turn and returned to the brick kiln, heading north along the vertical axis that had not yet been repaired.

But it only ran for more than thirty seconds before its speed began to drop until it stopped at the construction site of the ballastless track project.

Yu Yang got out of the car, took the safety helmet from the project manager, and handed one to Mr. Dong.

"Before the end of the year, we will complete the laying of the vertical axis track, which will not only run through the entire factory area, but also connect Shiliying to the Buddha Temple. In the spring after the New Year, we will complete the laying of the horizontal axis track, as mentioned before, passing through the highway bridge tunnel and leading to Hangai Township."

While listening, Old Dong held a telescope and looked into the distance.

3 acres of arable land is indeed very large.

If we remove the canals and roads, we can build 3500 plastic greenhouses.

Compared with Shouguang, these are just a fraction, but Sanyuan Agriculture has just started out and has produced all of this in just over a month. Coupled with the soybean seed project, its future growth will definitely surpass Shouguang.

"Xiao Yu, when your company acquires the 40 mu of farmland in Hangai Township and Buddha Temple, you will have to adopt mechanized planting. How will you arrange for the more than people?"

"There are four to five million people in Tai City, and no one has starved to death."

"really."

"Of course, what needs to be arranged must be arranged. In addition to selling vegetables and seeds in Tai City, people must go out and open stores in other places to facilitate the subsequent sale of agricultural and sideline products, and even form a national chain."

"We must learn from the lesson of the old-style state-owned enterprises that became too big to be eliminated."

"know!"

While talking, the two visited several plastic greenhouses and several sunrooms.

After Sanyuan Agriculture recruited many talented people.

Just like the kang, some people proposed floor heating.

That is to burn a large boiler to supply the plastic greenhouse coils.

The project was recognized by Zhao Qian, the person in charge of the plastic greenhouse planting project, so Yu Laoliu began to purchase large boilers.

Once it is completed, perhaps Shiliying will be able to use heating next year.

The two of them finished visiting the greenhouse area.

I was just planning to go to Yujia Village to rest and discuss the vegetable basket project.

The boss's secretary suddenly received a call and after a few words of communication.

"Boss, Yang, the manager in charge of traffic at Dongshan Compound, is here and is going crazy on the highway."

"Is this old Sun really going to make things difficult for me?"

Old Dong picked up the telescope and looked at the highway under construction at the intersection.

Yu Yang took the opportunity to stop a farm four-wheeler and said, "Leader, do you want to go over and take a look?"

"go!"

Wait until you reach the highway and go uphill or downhill.

There were seven or eight cars from the Tai City Road Administration, four or five cars from the Dongshan Prefecture Transportation Agency, and two buses from the Dongshan Expressway Management Agency parked on the highway.

Some traffic police maintained order at the scene, while others surrounded the Shiliying township head, deputy township head, and traffic station chief.

In the crowd, a middle-aged man in cadre uniform was shouting loudly.

"Brother Yang, when did you come?"

The old boss' secretary pushed through the crowd, and the old boss walked in with Yu Yang.

The middle-aged man heard the familiar voice and his expression eased a little, "Old Dong, aren't you going too far?"

"where?"

"Don't play dumb with me. All these people will be imprisoned for illegally modifying the highway." "Imprisoned modification? Who said that? Didn't it say Old Sun?"

"No matter who said it, I just want to know, how can this be explained?"

"There's nothing to explain. Didn't I file a report some time ago? Your approval is on it."

"Some time ago? Didn't the bridge tunnel get adjusted some time ago?"

The boss stepped forward and hugged the middle-aged man. "Yes, we are adjusting the bridge tunnel. Isn't this part of the construction? Are you picking on me for this?"

Then he whispered again: "Brother, you should know that I went to the capital and took care of the matter that even the chief steward of Dongshan couldn't approve, Pingdong Lake. Do you know who I found?"

"Who?"

"Mr. Wan, who came from our Pingdong County."

"hiss……"

"So, don't get involved in this, especially don't let others use you as a tool." The old boss held the middle-aged man's hand, turned around, and looked down at the Sanyuan Agricultural Factory. "Look at this, what a big project it is. It will be even bigger in the future. What will I be like by then?"

"But privately modifying the highway is against the rules after all."

"I applied for it. We allocated 500 million yuan to renovate the bridge tunnel."

"What if something goes wrong?"

"I will take the responsibility. When the time comes, you can push it onto me. I will take it all."

"Row!"

After the two of them communicated in a low voice.

The old boss turned around and called out, "Xiao Yu, come and meet your Uncle Yang. Let me tell you, he once worked in the Buddha Temple and almost became a monk."

"Hello, Uncle Yang!"

"Yu Sanyuan, I've eaten your bean sprouts, and they really taste much better than those grown in the south."

"That's great." Yu Yang gestured to Chang Fu, "Go, load a car with bean sprouts and leeks and take them back to Uncle Yang."

"No, no, two or three baskets will be enough. We can't eat more than that."

"Go back to the unit and send it out."

"The boy really knows how to do things."

After a while.

The vehicles on the highway drove away one after another.

Old Dong glanced coldly at the person in charge of Tai City Road Administration, who came forward with sweat all over his forehead and trembling legs.

"Boss, I don't know what's wrong with him. He came here all of a sudden. It was only after we passed the Yellow River Bridge on the highway that I received a call from the highway management agency."

"You have to know the consequences of betraying your own people."

"Understood. I will communicate with the highway management agency and ensure that I get the news as soon as possible next time."

"Go."

Old Dong lit a cigarette, watched the Tai City Road Administration Director leave, turned around and looked at Yu Yang.

"Old Sun must have been frightened by the fact that I killed a few people this morning, so he started to find fault. Otherwise, he would have used his power to bully others."

"Then I'll arrange for someone to go to his house at night?"

"No, this should be the end of it."

"Leader, killing those ruthless guys shouldn't cause any trouble, right?"

"Trouble? Believe it or not, the Tai City News will report tonight that the Municipal Courtyard commended the Municipal Military Department for its achievements?"

Yu Yang suddenly remembered the last time Shiliying suppressed the bandits, "We destroyed a large gang of ruthless people and protected a company with assets of tens of millions. Should I donate some money to the Municipal Military Department?"

"Donate some hot pot gift packs and send a banner, just as a promotion."

"You're killing two birds with one stone!"

"Don't be so trendy. It's better to say that old ginger is still spicy!"

……

That night.

Mr. Dong looked through the PPT of the vegetable basket project.

That is to say, before the end of the year, we will ensure that more than 20 kinds of off-season vegetables are available in all farmers' markets in Tai City to solve the problem of single dishes during the Spring Festival.

Then I looked at the PPT on the types of hot pot.

For example, clear soup, mushroom soup, bone soup, spicy, hot and spicy, and tomato.

But currently there is only mushroom soup.

Moreover, the effects of vegetable packs are only to nourish the stomach, dispel cold and treat dysmenorrhea.

The boss thought for a long time and said, "Let's move a few companies here, such as meatballs, fish balls, and fish tofu."

"The village has supported a number of self-employed businesses, including tempura, kelp buttons, and slippery meatballs, which are enough to enrich the hot pot side dishes, and launched gift packages at different price points."

"That's good. We should focus on local development and let the rich help the poor."

Mr. Dong then looked through the PPT of semi-finished vegetables similar to hot pot.

And they praised the chef's door-to-door service.

After all, this is also a way to solve the employment problem.

But after seeing the PPTs of the six vice presidents of Taishi Road and Bridge...

There were six people in particular, three in front and three in the back, leading more than sixty subordinates in suits and leather shoes, running around at weddings and funerals, giving gifts and delivering fruit plates.

Even kneeling in the tent, carrying the coffin, and attending the funeral
Mr. Dong spat out the tea he had just drunk on the spot.

"Talent!"

"Why didn't I know before that the six vice presidents' brains were so flexible?"

Yu Yang was also filled with emotion, "You may not believe this, but when four projects were launched at the same time, the six of them made the most money."

"Is it true?" Mr. Dong couldn't believe it. "Don't be ridiculous."

"Like in our village, there is an old man with six daughters but no sons. His nephews and nieces don't want to change their surnames, so he has no offspring. Recently, I heard that a fruit tray company is responsible for the funeral, and a hundred years later, they will burn incense and paper for the deceased during festivals according to the prepaid deposit. The old man took out the bean sprout money he had saved recently, plus the coffin money, and the future income from the yard as a deposit."

The boss was silent for a moment, "Where is the fruit plate headquarters, and is there a deposit limit?"

"???"
