Catch the sea: start with a sand shovel and take over the entire beach

In the morning, Zhao Qin was hiding in the processing plant, studying with Mr. He to classify the lapis lazuli they brought back. There were too many lapis lazuli brought back, so Mr. He would come to sort them out when he had nothing to do.

He also took over the jade that he treasured.

"Aqin, this kind of emerald is not suitable for young women. You might as well choose the stone No. 73. The purple one is quite nice."

Zhao Qin scratched his head, thinking about what gift to give to A Ke for her wedding.

Not only will he give it to her, but Axue will also give it to Han Yingsha. After all, they are like best friends now, and this bracelet is a gift prepared for Axue.

“Isn’t this more expensive?”

"This one is definitely more valuable, but when giving gifts, we can't just consider the value. This bracelet is suitable for women over 40 years old."

"Okay, I'll listen to you and use the purple one."

After confirming with Mr. He, Zhao Qin continued to help divide the stones until he received a call from Mr. Sun.

This time, Lao Sun did not come to the village office, but went directly to his home.

"Oh, Director Sun, you are so honored to have come to our humble home."

Old Sun shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Stop joking around. I came here to tell you that the land west of the town dock has been approved. The county hasn't notified the town yet, so I came here to confirm the price with you first."

"That's not right. Can this matter be dealt with by bypassing the town?"

"The county said that the town committee is new, and they are worried that both sides don't know each other well enough. Now the problem has fallen on me."

Zhao Qin showed a touch of emotion. This must be something Old Sun had taken on himself. "Does the county have any offers?"

Old Sun took the tea in front of him, drank it in one gulp, and then expressed his thoughts, "The county still wants to hear your offer first.

Ah Qin, I think that 50,000 per mu is a reasonable price. That piece of land is bigger than Tianqin's, about 200 mu, so it's about 10 million, which can be paid in five years."

Zhao Qin weighed it in his heart and said, "Boss, the price is okay. You don't have to pay it off in five years. I'll pay it all at once. Let me make it clear first. This is because you came to discuss this with me."

Old Sun grinned, naturally understanding what he meant. When he reported in the future, he could say that he had obtained the payment terms through his own efforts.

The matter was settled, and Old Sun was about to leave. Zhao Qin thought of something else, "Has the county approved our village's plan to build a Mazu statue?"

"Your spending is really huge. A statue that's over a hundred meters long must cost two or three hundred million, right?"

Zhao Qin said angrily, "It's my father. He made a wish in the Mazu Temple, saying that if I could return safely, he would rebuild the largest statue in the country.

Leader, we can cheat anyone, but we can’t cheat Mazu.”

"Okay, I'll go back and urge the county. Why don't you report directly to the city?"

What surprised Old Sun was that Zhao Qin actually snorted, glanced outside, and then said in a low voice, "A few days ago, I was tricked and became a pawn of power..."

Old Sun was so shocked that he gasped. After listening for a long time, he tried to comfort her, "Ah Qin, this is normal. You should be more open-minded."

"I'm very open-minded. I guess it's because I was too easy to talk to before. I was only thinking about the village and the city.

I won't do that anymore. I plan to place my future business in Beijing, Shenzhen and other places. I am not familiar with the leaders there, so it is easier to negotiate terms with them.

Uncle Sun, sometimes being too familiar is not a good thing.

You treat them as family, but they use you as a bargaining chip. It's really disappointing."

Before, Zhao Qin would sometimes change the way he addressed him. Every time he heard him called him uncle, Old Sun was very happy. But at this moment, he couldn't be happy no matter what.

"Have lunch at home?"

Old Sun sighed and stood up. "I have something else to do in the county, so I have to go back. I'll ask about the statue for you."

After seeing Old Sun off from the hospital, Zhao Qin's face suddenly turned cold as he saw him getting into the car. He murmured in a low voice, "You really treat me like dough, kneading me however you want!"

After getting in the car and leaving the village, Lao Sun was restless and said to the driver, "Stop the car, I want to smoke a cigarette."

The car stopped, he got out and lit a cigarette, then took a few steps to the side, took out his cell phone and hesitated for a while before dialing the number.

"Boss Wang, I'm Sun Zhengcheng. Yes, I just came out of Comrade Zhao Qin's house. I asked for 50,000 yuan for the land in the town, to be paid in full. Considering the difficulties faced by the county, Aqin agreed to it."

"Haha, I knew that this matter would be much easier if you were in charge." Leader Wang's hearty laughter came from the receiver.

"There is one more thing I want to report to you. I feel that Ah Qin's condition is not right. He also mentioned to me that the future business focus may be moved out of this city."

"Did you tell me the reason?" Leader Wang's laughter stopped and his tone became extremely serious.

"I asked him, but he didn't tell me. Ah Qin has always been concerned about his hometown, and our county has been very supportive of him. It's not like he would suddenly change his mind. I just can't figure it out, but I feel like I have to report this to you."

"Well, this matter is very important. I'll report it here. You have a good personal relationship with Qin, so see if I can ask him again."

After hanging up the phone, Lao Sun breathed a sigh of relief.

Ah Qin told him the truth, but he couldn't report it truthfully, especially when it came to the power struggle at the upper level. He had to play dumb when it was time to do so.

On the one hand, it is for my own good, and on the other hand, it is also a protection for Aqin.

……

In the afternoon, Zhao Qin's house had more guests, Li Gang and Wu Jindong came together.

"Gangzi, I had something to do this morning and didn't go to pick you up at the airport."

Li Gang waved his hand and said, "Old Wu can pick me up, but we'll have lunch at Xiangwei and it'll be on your bill."

Pointing at Wu Jindong, he smiled and said, "He wanted to pay the bill, but I stopped him. Boss Zhao, it's okay to reimburse him for the meal, right?"

"One year's reimbursement is fine."

Just as he finished speaking, Dayu also stepped in and said, "Boss Zhao, we can't come to Tianqin to discuss business. We have to come to your house. Your office in Tianqin is almost moldy."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, let's get down to business now that everyone is here."

After hearing what he said, the three of them adjusted their sitting positions and took out paper and pen from their bags.

"The acquisition of Xiaxin cannot be delayed, but I hope Old Wu will take the responsibility first."

He turned his head and looked at Li Gang, "Gangzi, have you heard of an agricultural and sideline products company called Good Day?"

"I haven't heard of it. Just tell me directly."

"Well, you can buy all the tea plants in the city in your own name. It doesn't matter if the price is a little higher."

"How much?"

"Take as much as you can. I'll ask my uncle to cooperate with you. My uncle can calculate the specific valuation of the tea trees on a mountain."

"Then I will take action tomorrow?"

"Okay, the sooner the better. I'll arrange two brothers to protect you. Remember two things. First, don't show any connection with Tianqin.

Second, if someone threatens you, don’t be afraid.”

"Does the other party have a background?"

"What I know is limited, so I won't let you use Tianqin's name, do you understand?"

Li Gang nodded, "Let me get in touch with them and find out the truth."

"That's right. I think once you take action, they will definitely keep an eye on you, or even send someone to contact you. You have to find a reason, just say..."

"Hey, this is easy. I'll just say that I'm optimistic about the market for high mountain tea and plan to vigorously develop this area."

"You can think about the details yourself. That's about it. What do you have to say?"

Old Wu put away the notebook and said, "Boss Zhao, the electric tricycle factory you asked me to contact has made some progress."

"Oh, tell me more specifically."
