Rebirth: The Financial Giant

On the way to the countryside.

The convoy has left Ningzhou city and entered a section of highway. Zeng Hong and others in the medium-sized bus sat around Lu Ming and were communicating.

Let's go to Daping Township in Hushan County first. The first stop will be here.

Lu Ming spoke concisely and to the point. He took a paper map of Ningzhou City's jurisdiction and marked a circle on it with a pen.

At this time, Han Qiulin, who was sitting next to her, asked, Don't you go to the county first?

Lu Ming immediately shook his head and said: No, it takes too much time and energy to deal with various local receptions. You may not be able to cover a whole county in one day, so how can you get so much time.

This time when he went to the countryside for field research, Lu Ming squeezed out all his weekend time. Even if he was busy during non-working days, he would not pay attention to anything that was not urgent.

If you don't do practical things seriously and fish around all day long, you have plenty of time, and you can also have a pleasant and in-depth communication with the beautiful assistant, but it will definitely be a lot of work to get some bigger things done.

During this inspection trip to the countryside, Lu Ming planned to visit one county a day and then select one or two villages to see with his own eyes and learn about the situation for himself.

Zeng Hong, who was also on the bus, said: Chairman, if you don't go to the county town, why don't you say hello to the local leaders?

Hearing this, Lu Ming thought for a while and nodded: That's right. You have to come all the way to say hello to the host. At least you should show respect. The follow-up work will require the joint efforts of local people. Done.

After saying that, he glanced at his assistant Han Qiulin, who understood and immediately contacted the relevant personnel in Hushan County.

…

When Hushan County learned the news and confirmed it to be true, they expressed surprise at first, and then great surprise. It immediately became a top priority in the county.

When the top leaders of the county learned that Lu Ming was going to Daping Township in about an hour, he put down all the work at hand without much thought, and quickly took several important cadres in the county and went straight to Daping Township. It took about 40 days to get here from the county seat. It's only a minute's drive, and he can get there before Lu Ming.

The major counties and regions under the jurisdiction of Ningzhou City will implement the County Opening Model to further expand the pilot project. All major counties have received relevant instructions on this matter, and they even went to the city for a meeting before, just for this matter.

At present, the most important thing for the entire Ningzhou City is to fully implement the county-opening model in the districts under the city's jurisdiction, but it has not yet been officially announced to the outside world.

After learning that Lu Ming personally went to the countryside for investigation and research, the leaders of Hushan County originally hoped that he would go to the county town to rest and entertain him well. However, they learned on the phone that the other party had already gone straight to the countryside. The subtext was that he was in a hurry. I stopped thinking about time and form, so I didn’t say anything out loud.

…

An hour later, Daping Township.

When Lu Ming's inspection team just entered the road at the boundary of Daping Township, there was a small car parked on the roadside in front, and there was a young man in formal clothes standing on the roadside. When he saw the inspection team approaching, he waved quickly Stop the convoy.

Two bodyguards got off the vehicle in front of the motorcade to communicate with them. After a while, Han Qiulin, who was on the minibus, put on a wireless earbud, and the security personnel reported the situation to her.

They are from the county... Han Qiulin explained to Lu Ming the situation of the road ahead.

Then follow. Lu Ming nodded and said.

Soon, the two bodyguards got into the car, and the man who blocked the car also got into his car. The motorcade stopped here for a while and then drove forward again, following the car all the way to the Daping Township Administration Unit.

It arrived at its destination in less than fifteen minutes. The motorcade stopped in front of the gate of the Daping Rural Affairs Office. Lu Ming could already see a group of people waiting outside in the car. He looked at how they were dressed. They are the people in the system.

Han Qiulin gave Lu Ming a tablet. The screen displayed photos of several Hushan County leaders and other cadres and their corresponding positions. Lu Ming looked at it, put the tablet aside and got out of the car.

Welcome, Mr. Lu, you are not welcoming us from afar, and you are not being well received. As soon as Lu Ming got out of the car, Yang Gu, the top leader of Hushan County, greeted him warmly.

Nice to meet you, Secretary Yang, I'm sorry to bother you. Lu Ming said politely with a smile and shook hands with him.

No, it's nothing. Yang Gu said with a smile. After shaking hands, he looked back at the cadres and said: Let us thank Mr. Lu with warm applause. This is a big step for our Hushan County to get rid of poverty and become rich in the future. My benefactor.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone gave him warm applause, but Lu Ming gave up on the high hat and said: You can't say that, we didn't come here with this idea, and we can't afford it.

Yang Gu smiled and said: Mr. Lu's words are wrong, not too much, not too much.

After a few words of politeness during the meeting, it is time to get down to business, and the conversation in person is almost enough.

Yang Gu said that everyone should come from the city to rest for a while after a long journey, but Lu Ming said that there was no need to rest, and he would go directly to the village to visit, and by the way, he would find a family in the village to have a farm lunch.

In this regard, Secretary Yang Gu didn't say much. When he came here earlier, he had already generally judged that Lu Ming was not a formalist.

So everyone went to Shantang Village, a natural village in Daping Township.

It is worth mentioning that Hushan County has not yet been lifted out of poverty. In addition to Hushan County, Longyan County and Xingfeng County are relatively poor counties under the jurisdiction of Ningzhou City.

In fact, several other better counties are not much better, and their development has been very poor in recent years.

But in sharp contrast, Ningzhou City has become a recognized new first-tier city, and its population is about to reach tens of millions. The large urban-rural gap is actually the siphon effect of Ningzhou City itself.

The most typical situation is that young people from surrounding counties are crowding into Ningzhou City. Industry, consumption, education, medical care, etc. are all concentrated in Ningzhou City. It is normal for local counties not to develop, but it is abnormal for them to do so.

…

When Lu Ming and others set off from the countryside to Shantang Village, the village brigade cadres here had already received the phone message. Before the people arrived, the village cadres had already started to get busy. First, they were preparing lunch and killing pigs, chickens and ducks. Everything is set up.

Shantang Village has become lively, the news has spread, and everyone in the village knows that the county leaders are coming to the village to visit and inspect, and the legendary richest man in the world is also coming.

At this time, farmers have been returning from the fields one after another. There is a large locust tree at the end of the village, and there are two square wells next to it. Groundwater gushes directly out of it. The first well contains clean water for drinking. A large number of pipes have also been laid, and these pipes extend to some village households.

The water from the first well flows into the second well. In the past, the second well was used by villagers to wash clothes. Nowadays, people in the village rarely come here to wash clothes. They basically do it at home.

A large group of villagers, old and young, were either sitting on benches under the big locust tree, or using some big stones as stools, or standing with their hands behind their backs. The villagers were eating melon seeds and chatting with each other, and from time to time they walked towards the road in the village. Looking away.

This big locust tree is known as the information station of Shantang Village. Especially at the end of the year, some elders and aunties in the village are here. Young people from other places must pass here when returning to the village. There will be news about who comes back the next day. The whole village knows about it, and this is basically the case in villages all over the country.

The CIA’s intelligence network, which is so efficient, has to admit defeat. At least it cannot cover such a wide area.

Coming, coming, so many cars.

At this moment, suddenly a naughty child pointed in one direction and shouted loudly, attracting other people to look. There was a turning point on the village road 300 meters away from the old locust tree. At this time, the first The car appeared from the corner and caught the eyes of the villagers.

After a while, a car kept appearing, driving towards the old locust tree at a moderate speed. There was a large open space here, enough for all incoming vehicles to stop.

Now the village is even more lively. This kind of scene is rare in the village.
