Traveling through the Great Northern Wilderness and marrying the most beautiful educated youth.

"Who made the call?"

The smile on Dong Guangping's face vanished instantly.

Secretary Xiao Liu glanced at the record in her hand.

"Regional non-staple food processing plant".

"Director Qian Dahai went to the Land Bureau in person."

"They also want to build a chili oil factory."

Dong Guangping's hand, holding the export contract, froze in mid-air.

"Is it also chili oil?"

"That's right."

Xiao Liu opened the notebook.

"The first phase of investment is 300,000 yuan, covering an area of ​​60 mu."

"The requirements are proximity to the freight station, and access to water and electricity."

"The chili peppers will be sourced from Sichuan and Chongqing."

The office fell silent.

Why do these words sound so familiar?

I was in Xiangyang Village a few days ago.

That's what Su Qingyun said to Dong Guangping!

Let's not talk about the amount of investment.

Even the land area and the origin of the raw materials are exactly the same.

When did they submit their project application?

Dong Guangping asked in a deep voice.

"The Land Office said it was reported last week."

"The procedures were completed earlier than those of Beidahuang Trading Company."

Xiao Liu paused for a moment.

"Director Qin means it's first come, first served."

"Besides, the non-staple food factory is a state-owned factory and should be given priority."

"hehe……"

Dong Guangping sneered.

First come, first served?

Is it really that much of a coincidence?

He had just reserved the land with the land bureau.

Soon after, a local food processing plant sprang up.

It's the exact same project!

"Call Qin Haisheng."

"And that Qian Dahai."

"Tell them to come over right now!"

"Yes."

Xiao Liu turned to leave.

"Wait a minute."

Dong Guangping tapped his fingers on the table.

"Bring the land bureau's project receipt book as well."

"Find someone to get it."

"Don't let Qin Haisheng touch it!"

Xiao Liu felt a chill run down his spine.

"clear!"

An hour later.

Qin Haisheng and Qian Dahai arrived at the prefectural committee.

Qian Dahai was in his forties, carrying a black briefcase.

Upon entering, he first glanced at the contract on the table.

Then, he smiled and extended his hand.

"Secretary Dong, you wanted to see me?"

Dong Guangping did not reach out.

He simply pointed to the chair.

"sit."

Qian Dahai's hand stiffened for a moment.

He touched his hair before sitting down.

Qin Haisheng only got hit on one side of his buttocks.

His back was ramrod straight.

"Tell me about it."

Dong Guangping picked up the project proposal for the non-staple food factory.

"When did you guys suddenly decide to make chili oil?"

Qian Dahai coughed lightly.

"Secretary Dong, the factory's performance has been poor these past two years."

"More than 800 employees are waiting for their meals."

"Our team has been studying this for a long time."

"We always need to develop some new products."

"How long did the research take?"

Dong Guangping raised his eyes.

"About three months, I guess."

Qian Dahai answered.

"Where's the money?"

"this……"

Qian Dahai straightened his cuffs.

"Logically, the land should be approved first."

"The funding will come from the regional government."

"Where's the equipment?"

"Under investigation."

"What's the recipe?"

"The factory's technicians can work on it."

"Where can I buy the chili peppers?"

"Sichuan and Chongqing."

Qian Dahai patted the project proposal.

"It's written very clearly here."

Dong Guangping laughed in anger.

So, apart from a few sheets of paper, there was nothing there.

No money.

No equipment.

No recipe.

They don't even know where to buy the raw materials.

He dares to ask for 60 acres of land without even opening his mouth!

Qin Haisheng picked up the teacup and took a small sip.

"Secretary Dong, logically speaking, for the same project, a state-owned factory would be more suitable."

"The food processing plant has employees and management experience."

"Beidahuang Trading Company is, after all, a township or brigade enterprise."

"Regarding the impact..."

He didn't finish his sentence.

Dong Guangping raised his hand to interrupt him.

"Don't talk to me about the impact."

What happened to the village and brigade enterprises?

"The development of production by commune and brigade enterprises is also a way of supporting national construction!"

Don't make a big deal out of nothing.

Qin Haisheng's face turned pale.

Put down your teacup quickly.

"Secretary, that's not what I meant..."

"So what do you mean?"

Dong Guangping stared at him.

"The investment has already been received."

"Where is the money from your food processing plant?"

"this……"

Qin Haisheng was speechless.

Qian Dahai remained calm.

He opened his briefcase and took out another document.

"Secretary Dong, there is actually a way."

"We can have Beidahuang Trading Company form a joint venture with us."

"They are responsible for funding, equipment, and sales channels."

"The factory is located below the non-staple food factory."

"Production and personnel are managed by us."

Speaking of it.

Qian Dahai revealed an expression that suggested he was considering Su Qingyun's feelings.

"As for Comrade Su Qingyun..."

"Young and capable."

"You could offer me the role of a technical consultant."

"Once the project yields results, we'll try to secure him a permanent position."

"Deputy factory director, that's not out of the question."

A voice suddenly rang out from the doorway.

"Director Qian is so generous."

Qian Dahai was taken aback.

I turned my head to look.

Su Qingyun walked in carrying a canvas bag.

After Xiao Liu notified him, he rushed over from the paper mill.

I had just arrived at the door when I overheard the last few sentences.

Qian Dahai quickly got up.

He looked Su Qingyun up and down.

"You must be Comrade Su Qingyun?"

"He's really young."

"Come, sit down."

That enthusiastic demeanor.

It was as if this were his office.

Su Qingyun did not sit down.

He placed the canvas bag on the table.

"Director Qian, let's do it your way."

"I'll take 300,000."

"I provide the equipment, formula, raw materials, and sales channels."

"What does your food processing plant produce?"

Qian Dahai chuckled and patted the chair.

"We provide the land, workers, and management."

"The brand of a state-owned factory is also an intangible asset."

"With us here, all the procedures will be easy to handle."

"oh."

Su Qingyun nodded.

"I'll take 300,000 yuan and exchange it for a permanent job."

"Thirty-six yuan a month?"

"You've got a pretty good plan."

"Moscow is almost hearing it."

"puff……"

Xiao Liu couldn't help but lower his head.

Qian Dahai's smile froze on his face.

"Young comrade, you can't say that."

"Being able to get a job in a state-owned factory is a dream come true for many people."

Don't be ungrateful.

"Pooh!"

Su Qingyun opened the canvas bag.

"No matter how valuable a state-owned factory's brand is, it cannot be used to make a quick buck."

He first took out two canning jars.

The red oil in the glass bottle was clear and bright.

Below lies a layer of finely crushed chili peppers and sesame seeds.

"This is a sample made by the cannery as a trial."

Su Qingyun unscrewed the bottle cap.

A rich, spicy aroma immediately filled the air.

Qian Dahai subconsciously sniffed.

But his mouth still betrayed his disdain.

"It's just chili oil."

"Who doesn't know how to make this?"

"Yeah?"

Su Qingyun picked up a pair of chopsticks.

I picked out a little bit and spread it on the slice of steamed bread.

"Director Qian, please try some."

Qian Dahai hesitated for a moment.

Dong Guangping looked at him.

"Try it."

"Didn't you say that everyone knows how to make it?"

That's all we've said.

Qian Dahai could only accept the slice of steamed bun.

Take a bite.

At first, it smells of sesame and soybean oil.

Immediately afterwards, a spicy aroma wafted up.

It's spicy, but not pungent.

The aroma is actually stronger.

Qian Dahai couldn't resist taking another bite.

By the time he realized what was happening, the steamed bun was already gone.

"How is it?"

Dong Guangping asked.

Qian Dahai wiped his mouth.

"Well, it's nothing special."

"We people from Heilongjiang Province don't like to eat such spicy food."

"It definitely won't sell."

"Who said it was sold to people from Heilongjiang province?"

Su Qingyun took out another contract from her bag.

"Moscow Wings Trading Company"

"The first batch is two hundred tons."

"1,200 rubles per ton."

"The sample has passed inspection."

"Two hundred tons..."

The color slowly faded from Qian Dahai's face.

1,200 rubles per ton.

The total price is 240,000 rubles!

The project proposals in his hand.

It won't even bring back a single penny.

Su Qingyun's products haven't even been officially manufactured yet.

It's already been sold to the Soviet Union!

Qin Haisheng quickly picked up the contract.

Turn to the last page.

The official seal on it is clearly visible.

Even the date of the first prepayment was written down.

All that's left is for the factory to start construction.

The Soviet Union immediately paid 20%.

"This, this..."

Qin Haisheng's forehead was covered in sweat.

Qian Dahai gritted his teeth.

"Secretary Dong, it is precisely because there are foreign exchange orders that they should be handed over to state-owned factories."

"With such a large project, can the local community and brigade enterprises be managed effectively?"

"If something goes wrong, who will be responsible?"

Su Qingyun reached out and took back the contract.

"Director Qian, you don't need to take responsibility."

"If this land can't be approved, I'll just go somewhere else."

"Change locations?"

Qian Dahai was stunned.

"Before I set up the factory, I looked at three sites."

"There are eighty acres of wasteland to the east of the cargo yard of the military reclamation farm."

"The county is also willing to provide a piece of land."

"It's just a matter of walking a few dozen more miles."

Su Qingyun carefully put the contract away.

"If I invest 300,000, where can I build it?"

"Who can stop them?"

Now, Qian Dahai was truly panicked.

What if the project goes elsewhere?

The region lacks more than just an investment of 300,000.

And there are hundreds of thousands of rubles in foreign exchange every year!

Who will bear this responsibility?

Qian Dahai can't afford to carry that burden.

"Qingyun, please have a seat."

Dong Guangping gestured for him to stop.

"Since the prefectural committee promised to support you, it cannot go back on its word."

He looked up at Xiao Liu.

"Did you bring the items?"

"I've brought it."

Xiao Liu pushed open the door.

Two staff members from the prefectural committee carried in a document receipt book.

A young female clerk followed behind.

She was wearing blue work clothes.

He was clutching an old pair of arm sleeves tightly in his hand.

Upon seeing Qin Haisheng, her face paled.

Dong Guangping threw the project proposal for the non-staple food factory onto the table.

"The date of receipt above is last Thursday."

"Is that right?"

"right……"

The female clerk spoke very softly.

"Bring me the receipt book."

Dong Guangping extended his hand.

Xiao Liu placed the notebook in front of him.

Last Thursday, the Land Office received a total of six applications.

Numbers 36 and 38 have the same handwriting.

The thirty-seventh one in the middle was clearly a different pen.

The ink colors are all different.

Even stranger is...

The registration space for Project No. 37 was clearly squeezed in.

Even the characters are written very small.

Dong Guangping pointed.

"What's going on?"

The female clerk glanced at Qin Haisheng furtively.

Her lips trembled slightly.

"To tell the truth."

"No one dares to make things difficult for you!"

Dong Guangping's voice turned somber.

The female clerk shuddered in fright.

"The materials for the food processing plant were delivered this morning."

"Director Qin told me to make up for it by last Thursday."

"Collecting articles was also something Director Qin asked me to do..."

Finished!

Qin Haisheng's head buzzed.

His face turned deathly pale instantly.

"Secretary, let me explain!"

He suddenly stood up.

"The non-staple food factory is a state-owned factory."

"I considered that priority should be given to ensuring the needs of state-owned enterprises..."

"fart!"

Dong Guangping slammed his hand on the table.

The teacups jumped up.

"Does supporting state-owned factories justify falsifying data?"

"You are the head of the land bureau."

"Who gave you the authority to change the document receipt date without authorization?"

Qin Haisheng opened his mouth.

But he couldn't utter a single word.

"Suspend him from his post!"

Dong Guangping pointed at him.

"Go back and write a self-criticism."

"Investigate all the land bureau's accounts and projects!"

"We need to find out exactly how many more of these things are happening!"

Qin Haisheng's body went limp.

He plopped back down in his chair.

He had worked his way up to the position of land bureau chief over more than a decade.

Today, it's all over!

Qian Dahai couldn't sit still any longer.

He quickly stood up.

"Secretary Dong, I knew nothing about the date change."

"I was just reporting the project as usual..."

Whether it's normal or not, we'll discuss that after the investigation.

Dong Guangping gave him a cold glance.

"Director Qian, you should go back now."

"The approval of the non-staple food processing plant project is temporarily suspended."

"But that piece of land..."

Qian Dahai was still not giving up.

"The local committee has already agreed to give that piece of land to Qingyun."

Dong Guangping interrupted him directly.

"We'll discuss this at the meeting this afternoon."

"No one is allowed to move until the meeting results are in!"

"besides."

"Your factory has no money, no equipment, and no products."

"Don't just think about grabbing a spot first."

"This country's land isn't for you to sunbathe on!"

Qian Dahai's face flushed red and then turned pale.

In the end, he could only pick up his briefcase.

They slunk away.

Qin Haisheng was also taken away by the staff.

We arrived at the corridor.

Qian Dahai suddenly stopped.

He looked back at the office.

She then moved closer to Su Qingyun.

"Mr. Su, let's keep things separate."

"Would you sell your chili oil recipe?"

"Five hundred yuan, how about it?"

Su Qingyun was somewhat surprised.

It's come to this point.

This guy is still thinking about the recipe.

"Director Qian, didn't you spend three months researching this?"

"Let's go back and continue working on the problem."

Qian Dahai blushed.

Don't get cocky.

"Making food requires more than just a recipe."

"Glass bottles and soybean oil must be subject to planned quotas."

"Could you have gotten this without our food processing plant's help?"

Su Qingyun smiled.

"There are 200,000 glass bottles in the cannery warehouse."

"As for soybean oil..."

"This year's 10,000 mu of soybeans all came from my seeds."

"If I'm short of soybean oil, who isn't?"

Qian Dahai's lips twitched a few times.

He could no longer speak.

Raw materials, packaging, funding, and sales channels.

They have it all in their own hands.

The only brand that the food processing plant could offer.

In Su Qingyun's eyes, it was worthless!

in the afternoon.

The meeting of the prefectural party committee passed it unanimously.

Sixty acres of land next to the freight station.

It was officially assigned to the Beidahuang Trading Company to build a chili product factory.

Water, electricity, and roads will be resolved through cooperation from relevant departments.

Complete the preliminary procedures within seven days.

When I received the approval.

Su Qingyun merely glanced at it indifferently.

They dared to snatch food from his mouth.

First, you need to check if you have good teeth!

He was just about to leave the prefectural committee.

Holding a telegram, Xiao Liu quickly chased after them.

"Qingyun is from the State of Su."

"Just delivered!"

Su Qingyun took the telegram.

There are only a few lines of text above.

The first aircraft has been dismantled.

Engine, spare parts, and technical documents were all loaded onto the vehicle.

Three days later.

Officially shipped to China!
