Rebirth: My 80s

Chapter 687 Northern Shaanxi asks for help

"Dumplings are here!"

"Jiankun, I saw you weren't full last time, but this time Auntie specially packed more. You can eat as much as you want, as long as it's enough!"

The couple from the Hu family studied hard for a year, but they still could not be considered as standard Huipu students, so they warmly entertained Li Jiankun.

The eldest daughter-in-law of the Hu family took advantage of the opportunity when the dumplings were served and silently carried the gifts brought by Li Jiankun back to their room of three.

The eldest son of the Hu family, who has a completely different personality from Brother Qiang and is honest and arrogant, stood aside and smiled awkwardly.

Little Hu Doudou jumped up and down and followed his mother into the house. The mother and son closed the door. The scene inside was unknown to outsiders, but they could generally imagine it.

However, Li Jiankun did not have any resentment. Hu Ziqiang, who had brought a bottle of Wuliangye and was pouring wine, pretended not to see it.

A tall, illiterate rural woman whose family is so poor that she had never eaten meat ten times before she got married, how much quality can you expect her to show when seeing imported food and supplies?

But Hu Ziqiang has never forgotten that on the morning when he went to Beijing to go to school with a broken suitcase, in front of the three adobe houses, his sister-in-law, who had always been stingy, hesitated for a long time, but did not even come out to argue with her eldest brother. He stepped forward and handed it to him with apology.

That's enough.

After the three-bedroom apartment was renovated last year, he took over his parents, who had been living in their hometown with their backs to the sky all their lives. This year, his sister-in-law sent a letter to someone saying that she wanted to come over. He didn't hesitate and went back to his hometown in person to take over his eldest brother's family. Come.

However, his parents had some thoughts about this and were worried that it would be difficult for him to find a wife in the future.

This matter was discussed at the dinner table, and the Hu family also expressed their bitterness to Li Jiankun in a subtle way. Li Jiankun's meal was not in vain, he came with a solution.

Hand-rolled skins, stuffed with pork belly and vermicelli, these northern-style dumplings are really fragrant. There are also several dishes to go with wine on the dinner table. The Hu family's cold dishes are outstanding, with mixed ingredients from their hometown. The sesame oil I brought was fragrant.

While Li Jiankun was feasting, he took out a bunch of keys from his coat pocket and threw them into Brother Qiang's arms.

Hu Ziqiang twisted it with two fingers and took a look. The eyes of the other Hu family members at the dinner table were also attracted, especially the eldest daughter-in-law of the Hu family, whose eyes were shining.

These are obviously the keys to the house, five of them! A key to a house!

Brother Qiang looked at Li Jiankun, "What do you mean? I'm telling you, don't let me make mistakes..."

Many times, Li Jiankun couldn't help but want to hit him. He was obviously very happy and had to pretend.

When it came to making mistakes, the Hu family were startled, with worries on their expressions.

Li Jiankun explained to the second elder: "This house is okay. It is a second-hand house, and it does not belong to me. It belongs to a girl from Hong Kong City. Hu Ziqiang has also seen her. She will never come to live here again. It is a waste to leave it in my hands." Gathering dust.”

Hu Ziqiang was shocked, "The apartment that Miss Huang from Hong Kong City has in East Lake Liyuan?"

"What? If you don't want it, you can give it back to me." Li Jiankun stretched out his hand.

"You're so beautiful." Hu Ziqiang grinned and happily stuffed the key into his trouser pocket, planning to go over there tomorrow and take a look. He didn't even plan to change the sheets.

He had indeed seen that girl, she was so beautiful!

Mother Hu was overjoyed: "This is great, this is great, it can be used as a wedding room for Qiangzi in the future."

Father Hu was honest and didn't know what to say. He picked up the white porcelain wine cup and touched it with Li Jiankun. He picked up the cup and drank it in one gulp.

"Returning to the marital home, I don't even know where his wife is raised." Li Jiankun glanced at the side and mocked.

"Fuck! You have?"

"At least I know where it is."

Brother Qiang: "..."

The eldest brother of the Hu family said seriously: "Qiangzi, you are not too young, so don't be too picky."

Li Jiankun added another blow: "He won't pick? In a few days, the tail will be raised to the sky."

Brother Qiang cursed and said, "Damn, how come you are so well-informed? You know it again." After saying that, he raised the wine cup and saluted him, grinning, saying nothing.

Of course he also knew about the people coming from the capital, and internal news had just arrived: the higher-ups were very satisfied with the development of the special zone.

Hu Ziqiang, as one of several managers of the Special Economic Zone Development Company, is a typical example of unswervingly pursuing development in an environment full of hesitation and controversy.

Under his leadership, the special zone built two large shopping malls, three high-rise office buildings, and several factories.

Therefore, if the development of the special zone is finally confirmed, these will become his political achievements. Going to the next level is not a dream.

If he takes over, he will be the leader of the Special Zone Development Company.

Of course, Hu Ziqiang has not forgotten who gave him the advice and who gave him the reassurance.

I have to admit, this guy is really awesome, his kind of far-sighted insight and foresight is rare in the world. But he won't say it.

"belch!"

Li Jiankun ate a full thirty large dumplings, plus three ounces of cat urine and some side dishes. I touched my belly and my abdominal muscles were exhausted.

After eating and drinking, Hu Ziqiang dragged him into his room, took out his cigarettes, handed him one, then took one in his mouth, and put the cigarette case into his trouser pocket.

A set of movements was so skillful that there was no lag at all, which showed that he had done this kind of thing many times.

"There's a letter from Lao Gao."

"pay a New Year call?"

"Help."

Li Jiankun was surprised. He took a bulging yellow envelope from Brother Qiang's hand, then sat on the armchair next to the five-drawer table by the window, pulled out the thick letter paper, and looked at it carefully.

Lao Gao is a typical honest and honest rural person in northern Shaanxi, and because he is much older than them, he rarely gets any help from them.

If he asked for help, he was obviously forced into a desperate situation.

Li Jiankun read it word for word, and could see a deep helplessness and an unspeakable feeling between the lines.

<divclass="contentadv">There is such a thing in northern Shaanxi:

Some mountainous areas in the old revolutionary base areas are really too poor. The economic development spurred by reform seems to have nothing to do with them, and they are getting poorer and poorer.

There is actually no shortage of gold ingots under that high loess slope.

Since the oil contracting period, relevant policies have become more dynamic. In order to support the construction of old revolutionary areas, the above-mentioned authorities have made an exception to allow the Yanchang Oil Mine Administration Bureau in northern Shaanxi to focus on developing high-yield areas, while at the same time, some old wells, low-yield wells and undeveloped wells in remote areas Land plots are contracted to counties and districts for management, benefiting local areas.

For this reason, the higher authorities also provided a policy of "old wells at the bottom and loans at the beginning".

This means that no matter how you develop it, some oil will always come out of the old well, which means you have a guaranteed source of income. In addition, the bank approved another loan to finance new development.

To say that this policy is really good, all aspects have been considered. In theory, the economy of counties and districts that benefit from this policy will definitely improve.

However, Suixian County, where Lao Gao was located, was losing money.

Not only did he not make any money, he became even poorer as he worked.

The reason is: the overall opinion of the county is too ambitious, perhaps out of fear of poverty. They paid little attention to old wells and low-yield wells that did not produce much oil. After receiving policies and loans, they frantically drilled new wells.

However, the ideal is very full, and the reality is very explicit.

Many new wells were drilled, but in the end no oil-rich well was drilled.

Now not only have all the loans allocated from above been used up, but even the old foundation of poverty has been severely scratched off. Lao Gao's original words were: They haven't paid wages for half a year.

Lao Gao has always disapproved of this overly aggressive plan. He believed that old wells and low-yield wells should be developed as much as possible first, and after some money has been saved over time, he can then consider large-scale investment in drilling new wells.

Too bad no one listened.

What more of his colleagues think is: There are good policies now, but who knows whether they will still be there in two years? Of course, we must take advantage of the good opportunity to develop vigorously.

The purpose of Lao Gao's letter this time is very simple. Their county is about to collapse, and he knows that his two roommates are doing well in the Special Administrative Region. He hopes that they can help introduce a Hong Kong-funded enterprise to their county and they will jointly run an oil refining business in the past. factory--

Direct extraction of oil is highly unlikely, and the Yanchang Oil Mine Management Bureau will not agree.

But when it comes to setting up a joint venture oil refinery in their county, their county can make the decision.

When oil is dug out, it must be sold in the end to create economic benefits. If Hong Kong businessmen invest in refineries in their counties, the oil they mine can be sold directly to the refineries. As we all know, products such as diesel, gasoline, kerosene, lubricating oil, petroleum coke, asphalt and ethylene can be produced from petroleum, which are of great use.

It's a win-win thing.

The only condition is that this Hong Kong company needs to first lend some money to their county to solve the current distressed situation and build a mining project for old wells and low-yield wells. If there is excess money, they will start drilling cautiously. New wells to increase the refinery’s output, bringing greater benefits to both parties.

The person in charge of the oil business is now Lao Gao.

When things got to this point, no one was willing to take over a mess. His colleagues recommended him and he took over.

"I think he is just stupid!" Brother Qiang exhaled a mouthful of thick white mist and said angrily.

"He's not stupid, he just loves that land deeply." Li Jiankun said with a sigh.

"Writing poetry?" Brother Qiang glanced at him sideways, "I really have no way to build an oil refinery. There are no Hong Kong businessmen in the SAR to do this. What about you?"

"How many people have the ability to engage in oil? Is there oil in the port city?"

"What should we do? Lao Gao has not been forced to a certain extent and will not speak to us."

What to do? Serve cold.

Just like what Brother Qiang said, Lao Gao has to help when he opens his mouth.

Fortunately, Li Jiankun thought, there must be no shortage of technology and personnel for the oil refinery in the old oil industrial area. To put it bluntly, this matter is all about money. Investing in an oil refinery and taking charge of the overall situation with Lao Gao's calm temperament, he was very relieved. It was actually a profitable business.

"It's convenient for you to work in the government agency. Send money to Lao Gao. It's winter. I heard it's very cold in northern Shaanxi. Don't starve your children. Then write him a letter and tell him not to worry about this matter. I'll take care of it. We'll go over there at the beginning of the new year, so it's time to check it out."

"Okay. Then hurry up. It's best to leave in the first few days. Unlike you, I won't be able to ask for leave later."

"Has there been a letter from the little hero?"

"It's the same as last time. How many months does he have to travel to send a letter?"

Regardless of whether it is Gao Jinxi or Wu Yingxiong, the letters are always sent to Hu Ziqiang, because he is stable, unlike Li Jiankun, who always sees the beginning and the end of the dragon.

Li Jiankun stood up from the armchair, lit a cigarette, and looked out the window at the night in the Special Administrative Region where thousands of lights were not yet visible. His thoughts jumped back to Yanyuan, recalling some of the past events between the four of them.

"When will you go back to your hometown for the New Year?" a voice came from behind.

"These two days."

For some reason, a pretty girl with a ponytail suddenly appeared in Li Jiankun's reminiscing thoughts. Four years later, how was her study trip in Eastern Europe? Are you living well?

There was always a regret in his heart that he had not gone to see her off. Although she didn't tell her either.

But, didn’t Xu Qing just go?

Li Jiankun thought: Although he is busy, he still has many things that he has not done, and many things that should be done but have not been done, sometimes it is really just a step up.

"Do you have the address of the little hero's home?"

"No. But you should be able to ask your instructor."

Li Jiankun nodded and planned to go back to Beijing to ask around. Now he has a few acquaintances in Magic City. He really can't spare any time during the New Year. It's only a few days before New Year's Eve. At least let his friends from Magic City do it for him. Go visit and see if the Wu family has any difficulties and solve their worries so that the little hero can study with peace of mind abroad.

The same goes for the Zhong family.
