Goldfinger is a bit strange

Chapter 385: Horse Racing and Occupying the Wasteland (1/2)

The chefs who guard the restaurants by the river are all experts at cooking fish. Especially today, the chef's wife personally gave the order and showed her utmost skill.

A steamed seven-grain float was served, and the hotel cabin was filled with aroma.

Everyone stretched out their chopsticks. The fish meat was tender and delicious, especially the cartilage in the body, which tasted even more special.

When a big fish was almost eaten, a fat middle-aged man in white work clothes came out: "How is it? Is it delicious?"

"Master, your skills are amazing!"

Xiao Wu praised it. He had seen it before, but this was the first time he tasted such delicious steamed fish.

The master rubbed his hands with his apron honestly: "These seven floats are not the best. If we can get the big catfish, that will be the best food in our river."

Of course Liu Qingshan knew: the giant catfish is the largest fish in the river here, weighing more than a thousand kilograms.

During the Qing Dynasty, local Hezhe fishermen caught a big catfish. It happened to be winter, so they transported it all the way to the capital and presented it to the then Emperor Qianlong.

This was the first time the emperor saw such a big fish. He thought it was the emperor of fishes, so he named it "Bayu".

Especially the roe of the female giant catfish is more expensive and is called "black gold".

The fat chef chatted for a few more words and continued to work in the kitchen, while Liu Qingshan and the others chatted while eating.

"Brother Qiangzi, which unit do you work in?" Liu Qingshan asked about Xu Guoqiang's situation.

"In the pickle factory." Xu Guoqiang's work unit is average, mainly making soy sauce, vinegar and pickles. His job is to deliver goods. To put it bluntly, he can make a dozen soy sauces.

After speaking, he added: "But I heard that the city is going to set up an economic and trade bureau to be responsible for trade with Maozi. They are deploying manpower from various units. I don't know what the economic and trade bureau is like. Maozi is not easy to deal with. "

Liu Qingshan was overjoyed: "Go, you must go!"

Of course he knows how prosperous the border trade will be here in the future, and the Economic and Trade Bureau will definitely be the most lucrative job.

Xu Guoqiang's handsome face showed some embarrassment: "We are not outsiders, so I won't hide it. I can't change my job without giving gifts."

The old squad leader next to him interjected: "Qiangzi's family has many brothers and sisters, and they all depend on his salary."

"Haha, anything that can be solved with money is nothing."

Liu Qingshan laughed and asked Hou San to bring his backpack, then took out two bundles of large unity and handed them to Xu Guoqiang.

This scared Xu Guoqiang and waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, no, no, I can't take your money."

At this time, Zhang Long said: "Qiangzi, in this money, we old comrades also have a share."

Xu Guoqiang smacked his lips: "It won't cost so much. I have three to five hundred yuan and buying some gifts is enough." wAp.

These days, someone with a hundred or two hundred yuan can change his job. Liu Qingshan's two thousand yuan is really a bit scary.

But Liu Qingshan had already made arrangements: "Brother Qiangzi, this money is considered as activity expenses. When you arrive at the new unit, you need to spend money to manage things with your superiors, eat and drink with your colleagues, and maintain good relationships."

"If you feel embarrassed, then we can borrow it from you first."

After hearing what he said, Xu Guoqiang accepted the money and became much more cheerful than before.

Liu Qingshan asked again: "Brother Qiangzi, there is one more thing. You are familiar with the situation, so I need to trouble you."

Xu Guoqiang nodded and looked at Liu Qingshan firmly. Now he finally knew why the old squad leader and the others followed this young man.

"We are going to find a place to stay first. We can't live in a hotel every day. It is inconvenient. It is best to find a relatively spacious place. Abandoned factories can be used. They are mainly used as warehouses. We will also need to build some warehouses by then. , used to hoard goods.”

Liu Qingshan and the others did not want to deal with small matters. Trading bulk goods would not be possible without a large-scale warehouse.

The border trade will be put into trial operation this winter, so before winter, they need to expand the warehouse and mobilize as much goods as possible from all directions.

Even if the goods are exchanged from the other side, there must be a place to store them, so the place must be big enough.

After Xu Guoqiang understood, he couldn't help but feel happy: "Our pickle factory has an idle site by the river. It was originally used as a vegetable warehouse. In the past two years, we no longer carry out winter storage, so we abandoned it."

"How big is it?"

Liu Qingshan was also a little tempted.

"It's probably not more than 20,000 to 30,000 square meters. Anyway, it's just a race to occupy the wasteland." Xu Guoqiang also seemed very excited. He was now eager to help and do something in return.

Their area is vast and sparsely populated. I dare not say anything else, but there is a lot of wasteland.

Liu Qingshan also thought it was enough, so he assigned the matter to the old squad leader and asked Xu Guoqiang to take him to the pickle factory to discuss with the leader.

The principle is to sign as many lease contracts as possible. Ten or twenty years is never too little, and thirty or fifty years is never too much.

After all, with the rise of border trade, rents may increase many times in the future.

As for buying it directly, haha, don’t even think about it for now.

He was also a little worried that the people from the army were too upright and did not know how to be diplomatic, so he sent Hou San there as well.

"I'm going for a stroll too." Li Tieniu couldn't help but volunteered.

"It's not like we're going to fight. Why are you following me?" The old squad leader was reluctant to take him.

Hou San was more happy. He had seen Li Tieniu's fighting power. With such a bodyguard following him, he felt at ease.

The rest of the people should not be idle. First, check out some factories here in Heihe City. When the time comes to purchase goods, it would be best to be nearby. These days, transportation is too laborious.

At least there are local wineries and canneries, if not, just place an order.

By then, their Jiapigou ham sausage factory and instant noodle factory should also be put into production, and the products can also be brought over directly.

By the way, it seems that in the early years of border trade, Lao Maozi had a special liking for DaDa bubble gum. When he saw Chinese vendors, he enthusiastically called "DaDa".

At first I thought he was being polite and willing to act like a junior, but later I found out that he was actually asking if he had any big bubble gum for sale.

However, Big Bubble Gum will not come out until three or four years later, and Liu Qingshan really has no place to get it now.

If you can't find it, just see if you can produce it yourself. This thing doesn't have too high technological content.

To put it bluntly, it is edible plastic processed from natural resin into a colloid, with some sugar and flavor added. In future generations, even black workshops can produce it.

Liu Qingshan made a mental note of this matter, and when he returned, he would discuss it with Qian Yuzhen and Hong Yunsheng to see if they could build a joint venture.

All the troops were dispersed, and Liu Qingshan stayed at the hotel.

When it was getting dark, the three groups came back one after another.

At the winery, Zhang Long led the people there and brought back good news: there are dozens of mi of liquor in stock.

What they produce here are all high-alcohol wines, but Maozi prefers high-alcohol wine.

Liu Qingshan waved his hand: "Brother Dalong, you can make another trip tomorrow and place an order directly. Everything is covered."

Others were stunned when they heard it: Is this for drinking or for taking a bath?

Just listen to Liu Qingshan continue: "And I have agreed with them to produce at full capacity. We will produce as much as we can, excluding the monopoly on purchasing and marketing, we all want it!"

When doing business with Maozi, liquor always comes first.

Liu Qingshan felt that this was not enough, so he thought for a while and picked up the map: "You will also visit the wineries in the surrounding counties in the future, and they will all operate according to this standard."

Zhang Long nodded and took note of it.

Then Gangzi and the others talked about the several factories they ran, most of which were too small in scale and could only maintain local supply, without much profit or water.

There is one cannery, but it mainly produces one kind of can: Huang Taiping.

Because the local climate is cold and the frost-free period is too short, only a few small berries are produced.

There is nothing you can do about it, just order it from the place of production.

In the end, only the old squad leader and Hou San were left. They didn't come back until after eight o'clock in the evening. Everyone was drunk. Only Li Tieniu, although he also smelled of alcohol, his two big eyes were brighter than before.

Hou San's face was red from drinking, and his tongue was too big to speak, but his thinking was quite clear. Luo Li recounted what happened.

The whole process went very smoothly, and it was settled immediately: a ten-year lease was signed, and the annual rent was two thousand yuan.

Yes, it is so cheap. Of course there is Xu Guoqiang's factor in it. In addition, the tobacco and alcohol brought by Hou San also played their due role.

In order to express his gratitude, Hou San made arrangements to invite the leaders of the pickle factory to come to the restaurant and

As it turned out, everyone here was a better drinker than the other, and he and the old squad leader soon became overwhelmed. This wine shop was sometimes another battlefield for men.

At the critical moment, Li Tieniu came on stage, opened a bottle of high-strength liquor, blew directly into the bottle, drank a bottle in one breath, and completely drank the other party. He said on the spot that he would sign the contract tomorrow.

Li Tieniu curled his lips: "What's the point of drinking? It's like drinking cold water."

"Junior brother, okay, you still have this ability. You will definitely need it in the future when dealing with Maozi. If you don't drink them down, they will still look down on you."

Liu Qingshan is also very happy. He never imagined that there are such talents. He must make the best use of his talents.

Wait until tomorrow morning, Liu Qingshan will sign a contract with the pickle factory on behalf of Longteng Company, and then take people there to check it out excitedly.

The site is really not small, basically a large open space about 200 meters square, surrounded by broken wooden boards, and full of big holes and small holes.

The door was still locked, but the lock head was rusty, so I simply climbed in through the stick.

There was a red brick house at the end, with about a dozen rooms. When I walked up to it and took a look, I saw that all the glass windows were broken, not a single one was intact.

There were radiators in the house originally, but they were all removed.

Liu Qingshan went around and realized that he still had to start from scratch, so he gave instructions:

"Clean up, replace the doors and windows with glass, burn the stove in the house first, then build some beds, buy some bedding, and make do with it."

It's easy to work when there are many people, so everyone took action immediately.

Especially veterans like Zhang Long, their execution ability is quite strong.

While everyone was cleaning up, they heard a roar of motors coming from outside. Hou San went out to check, and immediately ran back into the house in fright.

"Several motorcycles and a big truck came, and the truck was full of people, all holding steel pipes in their hands. It seemed like they were coming with bad intentions!"

Hehe, this battle is not small, even big trucks are coming.

Liu Qingshan quickly took the people out and saw Hu Er, who had had friction on the riverside, leading a group of people to rush over.

Seeing Liu Qingshan and the others, Hu Er pointed out: "Fifth brother, these are the guys!"

The turbid eyes seem to have some resentment, looking at the mottled stones in front of them alone.

There, a figure is lying.

This is a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, with tattered clothes, full of dirt, and a broken leather bag tied around his waist.
