Reborn in Changbai Mountain, I rely on my divine eyes to dig ginseng and hunt

This is the general pattern in all places. First recruit them, grow them, create jobs, and drive economic development. After a few years, problems will arise one after another. This is not up to standard, that is not up to standard. In short, pay the money. Except for a few places in the south, it is almost the same everywhere, so Liu Xialian still has great concerns.

Seeing that Liu Xialian was silent, Mayor Wang introduced himself: "My name is Wang Zhong, and I'm from the next county. I've been the mayor for two years. I don't have any big ambitions, but I hope to make the people in our village rich as soon as possible. I hope they can have some white flour buns to eat during festivals. When I'm transferred, I'll be satisfied if the villagers can say that Mayor Wang is not a bad person when they mention me."

Liu Xialian nodded: "I don't doubt the good intentions of Mayor Wang at all, but I am just an agricultural product dealer. To put it bluntly, I make pickles and canned food. What kind of factory can I open?"

Township head Wang drank about 300-400 grams of liquor, and now he was a little tipsy. He opened the small package and took out a map: "Director Liu, look, this is the map of our township. It is 20 miles from west to east and 15 miles from south to north. Although the place is not big, the population is really large. There are more than 40 villages and nearly 50,000 people. I don't know much about business, but I think we can do anything here. If you really don't know what to do, I will grant you a small hill in the east. You can flatten it and turn it into stones. Now roads and buildings are being built everywhere. You don't need to pay business tax, but only a mineral tax. Workers must be hired from our local area. Don't you think the profit is high?"

Building materials is an industry with super high profits, but people in the industry are well aware that there are only a few formal companies in this industry. Because good people cannot control the situation, if you finally get a job and deliver the goods but can’t get the money, wouldn’t that be stupid?

Liu Xialian nodded slightly without commenting. Mayor Wang continued, "In our village, the production of pineapples, hawthorns, and yellow peaches is still very large. If you open a canning factory, you can get people to work there with a monthly wage of 30 yuan. The cost is low, and you can make money no matter what you sell. It doesn't need to be too big. I would be satisfied with a scale of 200 to 300 people."

"That's right. A canning factory is more in line with my idea. However, a canning factory with 100 to 200 people is considered a small workshop. It's fine if I don't do it. Once it is launched, it will require at least 1,000 people. But where do the raw materials come from? Although the yellow pears and hawthorns you mentioned are grown, they are scattered, the varieties are old and not uniform. Without good raw materials, how can we produce high-quality canned food?"

"Okay, Director Liu is young and promising. He is indeed a rare talent. He makes a big move at a time. As for the pineapple, yellow peach, and hawthorn I just mentioned, I don't think it will be a problem. Our more than 40 villages are basically in mountainous areas, and there are only a few plains. It is not possible to grow wheat in the mountains. We can plant some economic forests according to local conditions. If you are sure to open a cannery, we will mobilize the people to grow the same fruits as your factory, but we must ensure that they are purchased and not let the people rot in the fields. There is no pressure for us to grow 10,000 acres of fruit in one township. If it is not enough, it doesn't matter. There is a town next to it, and the area there is several times that of our township. The profit of growing fruit in the mountains is much higher than that of other crops, and it saves labor. As long as your cannery can receive the goods, you don't have to worry about the raw materials."

Liu Xia Lian thought about it and realized that the best-selling of the three canned foods were canned yellow peaches and hawthorns. Canned pineapples were too watery and not very popular. If the raw materials could be solved, it would be a good idea to build a canning factory.

"What Mayor Wang said makes sense. If we can solve the problem of raw materials, we don't have to worry about it anymore."

Mayor Wang pointed to the big wardrobe in my uncle's house and said, "All kinds of boards for building decoration are also a good way to set up a factory, that is, a wood board factory. The situation in my hometown is different from that in the Northeast. Wood is extremely scarce. Whether it is furniture or decoration, it is difficult to use solid wood. The usual practice here is to slice poplars and then press them into boards. The sales volume is still quite good."

Liu Xialian grew up in a forest farm, so she is no stranger to this kind of plywood. There are all kinds of plywood, including pure pressed boards and plywood with good materials on the surface and inferior materials inside. The profit of this kind of wood products is not low.

"Well, we are not allowed to cut down trees here, so where will the raw materials come from?"

"It is definitely not allowed to cut down trees in closed-mountain forestation, that is the red line. But it is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Some farmers' land is in the river ditch, and there are floods every year. Crops are not harvested nine out of ten years, so they plant fast-growing poplars. Now there are quite a lot of fast-growing poplars planted, and the normal poplars can be cut down."

After saying this, Village Chief Wang looked at his uncle.

The uncle had no choice. Since his superior had given him the task, he had to say something: "Xia Lian, please think about it. Mayor Wang is very sincere. If you can do it, you will make money, the villagers will have jobs, and Mayor Wang will have political achievements. It will be a three-pronged approach."

Liu Xialian laughed and said, "I can't give you an immediate answer. Investment matters are not decided by me alone. I'll think about it when I get back and calculate the costs and pros and cons. If possible, I'll ask Mr. Sun from the company to come and inspect it. Personally, I really hope that my hometown will become prosperous as soon as possible."

Mayor Wang picked up a pen and wrote down his office phone number: "Director Liu, if you arrange for someone to come, please call me and I will arrange the reception. I won't disturb you all."

Liu Xia Lian and her uncle sent Township Chief Wang to the street. Township Chief Wang's vehicle was a Jialing motorcycle, which was quite small and sped away.

The uncle looked at Liu Xialian and said, "You don't need to consider my face. Just do what you need to do. You can definitely do the business he mentioned, but the inspection every now and then, making fun of you today and tomorrow, is quite disgusting."

"Okay uncle, I got it. Let's go up the mountain and take a look after dinner."

When the two came back, everyone had almost finished eating. Zhao Hua and Sixth Uncle were so drunk that they actually called each other brothers.

Liu Fuhong drank quite a bit, but he was finally sober. He made a pot of jasmine tea to sober the two of them up.

Liu Xia Lian called her fifth uncle and eldest uncle, and Daya and Li Daniu followed from a distance.

After getting used to Changbai Mountain and Daxinganling Mountains, the mountains here are bare and there is nothing on them.

The water from the canal up the mountain is irrigating the honeysuckle field. Just as Uncle Wu said, some people are serious. For example, this family in front of us planted a full two acres of honeysuckle. The first batch was planted on National Day last year, and the flower buds have already grown this year. The old couple are in their sixties, bending over to weed and fertilize, making everything tidy.

The farmer asked Liu Xialian: "Do you want to harvest dried flowers this year since the quantity is small?"

"We'll take whatever we can get this year. Next year, you need to build a simple drying shed in the yard to avoid rainy days."
