Spring Breeze 1991

After half a day of investigation, in fact, there are not many places to go. The root cause is the traffic problem. In some places, even a BMW SUV with excellent off-road performance cannot run, so we can only walk slowly.

Along the way, Chairman Mao and others have a very deep understanding of the local economic development level and living standards.

What impressed them most was that they went to a Miao village. All the more than 100 households in the village lived in stilt houses built of wood with roofs made of branches and leaves. There is no family planning for ethnic minorities. A couple in their 40s has three children. The eldest child is 20 years old and the youngest is in his teens. The whole family only has two pairs of trousers, the father wears one pair and the other One is worn in turn, and whoever goes out of the three brothers wears it.

This incident left a very deep impression on Mr. Mao and others.

On the night of returning to the hotel in the county seat, other business owners came to Mr. Mao's room at the same time. Mr. Mao simply asked the hotel to open the meeting room, and asked people to prepare fruit tea and so on. He simply held a symposium to communicate about today's situation.

Jin Jiu was the first to ask, "Mr. Mao, we came here for inspection because of your face. Of course, if it is appropriate, it is no problem to invest some money to build a tea garden and build a factory. You heard it today, that person is not even a town leader. The mayor’s assistant actually asked us to pool 3000 million to build roads for them. Isn’t this a joke? How can it be done like this.”

It was indeed for President Mao's sake, otherwise Jin Jiu would have left long ago and would not be wasting time here.

It is unheard of for a national-level poverty-stricken town to even set up thresholds for attracting investment.

Mr. Mao's mood was more complicated, and he didn't want to say anything more to them, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "I decided to invest in Huilong Town, contracting [-] to [-] mu of mountain land to grow tea, and then set up a factory and build roads. If you don’t want the money, I’ll find a way to raise it myself, and if I can’t, I’ll find a bank loan. All in all, I’ve made a decision.”

"Mr. Mao, why are you doing this? There are many better places than Huilong Town." Jin Jiu shook his head and said.

Lin Jiaqiu, the owner of Feida Garment Manufacturing Company, became pensive. He knew Mao Feng, the owner of Maofeng Tea Company.However, Lin Jiaqiu really couldn't see what was particularly attractive about Huilong Town. It was worthwhile for Mao Feng to find a bank loan and meet the conditions put forward by the young assistant to the mayor.

Mao Feng didn't want to say much, and said with a smile, "The assistant to the mayor belongs to the town leaders, and Assistant Yao is talking to us on behalf of the Huilong Town government. Let's put it this way, I really like the environment of Huilong Town. The ones there are very suitable for growing tea.”

Jin Jiu suddenly remembered the tea drink that Assistant Yao mentioned. This is a new thing, and it is unknown whether there will be a market for it.

That’s not how business is done. A new product can be determined in a few words, and there is no international joke, even if there is a technical report from an authoritative organization.

All in all, in everyone's opinion, Mao Feng, who has always been prudent and cautious, seemed to have been drugged this time. He was determined to invest and set up a factory in Huilong Town, and he did not hesitate to find a bank loan to fund the road construction.

Maofeng Tea Company is ranked first in the country. It was established the earliest, developed the fastest, and has a very large scale. Its annual output value exceeds 2000 million yuan and its annual gross profit reaches 3000 million yuan. It is also very difficult to pay [-] million in cash, and a factory needs to be built.

Thinking of this, Jin Jiu couldn't help but said, "Mr. Mao, you are betting on the entire Maofeng Company, there is no need to take such a big risk, right?"

Mao Feng waved his hands and said, "Everyone, although I am the chairman of the Ningyu City Chamber of Commerce, I do not recommend that you invest in Huilong Town this time. You all know the situation. The business environment in Huilong Town is very poor. It’s not very attractive either, as there are all walks of life here, and to be honest, apart from growing tea in Huilong Town, I don’t think there will be any hope for other industries.”

He looked around and said, "To tell you the truth, the development of Maofeng tea has encountered a bottleneck. During this time, I have been thinking about ways to break through. Assistant Yao Yuan is right, it is necessary to develop derivative products, yes Live or die, it depends on this time."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. They had never heard that Maofeng Tea had encountered a development bottleneck. On the contrary, the export business of Maofeng Tea was booming, and the tea produced was exported to Europe. It can be even bigger.

How did you encounter a bottleneck?

Mao Feng said a few more words on the occasion, cupped his hands and went back to his room.

Jin Jiu and the others stayed for a while, but couldn't understand Mao Feng's choice.Most of the business owners have already decided to return the next day, making it clear that they will not invest in Huilong Town.However, there are still several business owners who choose to stay and continue to observe.

The relationship between Jin Jiu and Mao Feng is relatively close, and he always feels that Mao Feng's behavior is very strange.

He came to look for Mao Feng and said bluntly, "Mr. Mao, even if Maofeng tea encounters a development bottleneck, it doesn't have to accept such harsh development conditions, right? Last time we went to Central Sichuan for inspection, the environment there is better, and the local government It also gave a preferential policy of tax exemption for three years and half reduction for five years. The infrastructure has been repaired. If you don’t invest in such a good condition, you have to raise 3000 million yuan to build roads for them. We haven’t known each other for a day or two. I always feel there must be other reasons for this.”

Mao Feng signaled Jin Jiu to sit down, asked the secretary to make tea, then sent the long-legged secretary away, and signaled Jin Jiu to drink tea.

Jin Jiu waved his hand, how could he drink, "Is there something I'm hiding from me?"

Mao Feng showed a bitter smile, heaved a long sigh, and said, "Lao Jin, the truth is, I can't help myself, I can't help it."

Sure enough, there is something hidden.

Jin Jiu asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"

Mao Feng said in a deep voice, "You know Southeast Industry, right?"

Jin Jiu was stunned, "Southeast Industry, headquartered in Quanzhou? I think no one who does business in the southeast coast will know that a large group with billions of assets has a very wide business scope. Southeast Industry signed a contract with the Ludao government. We have signed a cooperation agreement and invested 10 billion Huaxia dollars to comprehensively develop the tourism of Gulangyu Island, which is known to the whole country.”

"It's Dongnan Industrial, Chairman Qi personally called me, and asked me to support Huilong Town's investment promotion." Mao Feng said in a deep voice.

Jin Jiu asked in surprise, "Mr. Qi Junting, Chairman of Southeast Industry?"

"Yes, that's him." Mao Feng said with certainty.

Jin Jiu was shocked and couldn't recover for a long time.
