Chapter 167 Where is My Plane?
One day in July, Chen Zheng walked out of the door of Weiguang Company in a depressed mood.

He smoked several cigarettes in succession.

At the gate, he also saw several colleagues in suits.

"Fuck, I tried several times but came back empty handed."

He is a customer manager of a state-owned commercial bank. After learning that Jiahe needed financing, he took the initiative to approach the bank several times.

But I was met with a cold shoulder.

At present, the competition for big customers in the domestic banking industry is particularly fierce, and the practices of hanging out with wealthy people, building up big customers, and trying to cross a single-plank bridge are everywhere.

Commercial banks are like a flock of sheep, usually scattered and bumping into each other blindly.

But if one of the sheep finds a fertile green meadow, the rest of the sheep will rush over and scramble for the grass there.

Jiahe is just like that green grass, which has attracted active marketing from major commercial banks.

Someone next to me said.

"The bosses of Jiahe have all returned to the northwest."

"Gone, gone."

"Jiahe is a big family with a lot of business, so they definitely want to go to the higher authorities. When the time comes, the loan will be sent down with a bridle, and the grassroots will be responsible for management."

"Come to think of it, Chen Zheng, your branch robbed a major client of our bank last month. You were really cruel."

"Hey, everyone eats according to their own ability."

Chen Zheng put out his cigarette and said, "Let's go. Beijing Auto also needs a loan. I'll go and queue up first."

"Lao Wang, isn't BAIC a client of your bank?"

"Damn! This bastard!"

……

evening.

Before the plane landed at Jiayuguan Airport, we looked out over the vast Gobi Desert from the air, where the sky and the earth merge into one.

“I’m still getting used to the vastness and grandeur of the Northwest.”

Guo Yang sighed in his heart, thinking that when he was in Beijing, he always felt like he was being pushed around by various things.

Now seeing this scene, my heart calms down.

At the airport, Guo Yang met Xie Shijie in the parking lot. Next to him was a sturdy man in a black shirt with sharp eyes.

"Boss, this is Luo Xiu, a retired soldier from Jinling Qianlong Security Company. He will be your driver and personal bodyguard from now on."

Luo Xiu gave a stiff smile, "Hello, boss." Then he opened the car door for Guo Yang.

Guo Yang took a look at him. He had a well-proportioned body and could sense the huge energy hidden in his body. He looked very professional.

But isn’t it a bit exaggerated?
The car starts.

Guo Yang asked curiously, "Is it easy to find a security job in China now?"

Luo Xiu: “Not bad.”

Xie Shijie said: "Luo Xiu was trained in Jinling, and after passing the training, he was directly recommended by the company."

Guo Yang saw that Luo Xiu was just concentrating on driving and didn't have much desire to communicate.

It seemed that he knew Guo Yang's doubts.

Xie Shijie said: "The chairman of Longgaoguanqing Group was murdered at home two years ago. Jiahe is involved in many industries in Long Province, so it is inevitable that it will offend people."

Guo Yang frowned. He had also heard about this incident. Hundreds of people surrounded the house afterwards, but the criminal committed suicide in the end.

Luo Xiu also said, "In the past two years, it has happened that wealthy people have gotten into trouble."

Guo Yang was also in deep thought.

As the wealth gap in society continues to widen, more and more problems are emerging.

“The trees are beautiful in the forest, but the wind will destroy them.”

“The first bird to stick its head out gets shot.”

Many wealthy people in the country also want to dress simply, live simply, and shop and entertain like ordinary people.

And find a sense of identity from it.

But the reality is that the unique social field forces them to show off their wealth.

The same is true for Guo Yang. As Jiahe's influence grows, he will inevitably appear in public.

In addition, he often goes to remote areas, so safety issues do need attention.

Luo Xiu's appearance really gives people a sense of security.

There is a security company behind it, and we have participated in training and there are traces to follow, so it is quite reassuring.

When passing through the Gobi Desert between the two cities, Guo Yang asked Xie Shijie, "How was the negotiation on this Gobi Desert?"

“It wasn’t going very smoothly. Both cities were not very enthusiastic about developing in the same direction and were unwilling to invest in infrastructure, but they agreed to our purchase of Gobi grass.”

Xie Shijie hesitated for a moment before continuing, "General Miao from the War Investment Department is strongly opposed to growing grass in the Gobi Desert."

"Let's discuss this matter at a meeting tomorrow."

Miao Lanchun from the Strategic Investment Department is a rare female in Golden Harvest’s senior management team.

He started out as the director of the strategic investment department of a large state-owned enterprise, and later served as the general manager of a large group.

It was recently acquired by Jiahe at a high price.

There is no doubt about his professionalism. He is also efficient and hardworking.

When it comes to drinking, women are just as good as men. Even when they are on vacation, they never miss important occasions.

Guo Yang was deeply impressed by it.

After chatting about other work for a while and having dinner in the city, Guo Yang and Luo Xiu returned to their residence.

Guo Yang's house is big, so it's no problem for one more person to live there.

Luo Xiu was seen looking around the community's environment, and after entering the door, he also observed the structure of the house.

"Just find a room to stay in."

Seeing that Luo Xiu had no intention of chatting, Guo Yang looked at the company's information alone for a while and then took a break.

the next day.

After Guo Yang arrived at the company, he called everyone to a meeting.

The first thing they discussed was the development of the Gobi Desert between the two cities. Miao Lanchun, who had short hair, started talking with full force.

"The Gobi Desert is different from saline-alkali land. The Gobi Desert between Jiuquan and Jiayuguan has complex geographical features, including desert Gobi covered with hard rocks and wind-eroded sand land."

"We consulted relevant experts and the best way to deal with it is to take soil engineering measures."

"It involves excavation, transportation, backfilling of cultivated soil, laying of pipelines, drilling wells and power installation, and other measures, which are extremely difficult.
Moreover, the large demand for imported soil will also damage the farmland around the city, thus defeating the purpose of ecological transformation.”

"The cost of transforming imported soil per mu is as high as 1.5 yuan. Based on 30 mu of land, that's 45 billion yuan!"

"Even if we only take 5 mu of land, the investment will reach 7.5 million yuan."

“But the time to recover the costs is uncertain. In other words, if we can’t build a factory, investing in Gobi Desert transformation is meaningless.”

In the huge conference room, only Miao Lanchun's powerful voice could be heard.

The rest of the people kept silent, like some experienced people, writing and drawing in their notebooks.

In fact, many people within Jiahe are not optimistic about the transformation of the Gobi Desert.

It's just that everyone has experience.

Who else but the boss could have proposed the Gobi Desert transformation project?
Within Jiahe, Guo Yang's image as a dictator has long been deeply rooted in people's minds.

Xie Shijie said: "We can also consider building greenhouses in the Gobi Desert to grow vegetables. Minqin has done a good job, and Suzhou District is also vigorously promoting Gobi greenhouses."

People started to speak one after another.

"It is indeed feasible to build a solar greenhouse in the Gobi Desert."

"Yes, in the past two years, due to the increase in seed production area, the vegetable production area has been shrinking. The vegetable prices in Jiuquan have been rising since the beginning of spring."

"Greenhouse vegetables have advantages in dealing with sandstorms."

"The seabuckthorn industry can also be developed in the Gobi Desert. We can dig sand-accumulating ditches and plant trees in them."

"Doesn't the group have two stone-picking machines? Fengkai can also develop them later."

Miao Lanchun said: "I still say the same thing, the cost is too high and I can't see the profit prospect."

Guo Yang watched the discussion atmosphere gradually become heated, and thought to himself that bringing in an executive with ideas like Miao Lanchun was the right thing to do.

Jiahe’s previous strategic investment team had no problems with various information, procedures, legal affairs, etc., but lacked initiative.

More like a tool.

So Guo Yang replaced the original person in charge and found Miao Lanchun.

Miao Lanchun is like a catfish. He will not blindly agree to development projects, but will put forward his own opinions.

This has prompted more people to think independently.

Guo Yang looked up at Miao Lanchun and said, "Mr. Miao, you just got here, so you may not know what Jiahe's greatest advantage is."

"Three years ago, Jinta Grassland was also a barren salt marsh, but today, it is a nugget of gold."

Miao Lanchun frowned.

Of course she was aware of the 200,000 acres of grassland in Jinta. In fact, she decided to come to the Northwest because of the reputation of Alfalfa Agriculture and Animal Husbandry and Tianhe Seed Industry.

But there is a big difference between saline-alkali land and Gobi Desert. Alfalfa No. 1 cannot grow in the Gobi Desert.

"Are there new seeds?" Miao Lanchun asked tentatively.

"There are new seeds, but there is no rush to transform the Gobi Desert. The cost of transforming imported soil is high, and Jiahe does not need to invest so much money."

"But someone has to do it. Take the land and organize manpower and machinery to dig ditches and accumulate sand before the rainy season every year, and plant trees and grass in the sand. It doesn't cost much."

"Ten years ago, it was called the Gobi Desert. It's still called the Gobi Desert now. Maybe one day in the future it will become an oasis."

Miao Lanchun asked: "How to recover the cost?"

"How much do you think it would cost to buy 30 acres of Gobi Desert?"

"About 1.2 billion."

"The 70-year property rights are enough for Jiahe to recoup its investment, and it is not necessary to get it all at once."

"Now that we have acquired the land, we will do our best to restore the vegetation. When Jiahe has enough funds, we can start building the new headquarters of the group in the Gobi Desert."

The group’s headquarters in the Gobi Desert?

Everyone in the conference room was surprised; it was the first time they heard this statement.

But it's pretty cool to think about.

Jiayuguan City is a city that rose due to the construction of Jiuquan Iron and Steel Company and is known as the Pearl of the Gobi Desert.

Jiuquan is an important town in Hexi.

The transportation between the two cities is very convenient

However, in order to increase their total economic output, both cities want to gather economic factors in their respective areas.

When discussing regional layout, we are limited to the city rather than the prosperity of the entire region.

As a result, the Gobi Desert in the middle has been ignored.

If one day, between the two cities is the headquarters building of Jiahe Group, surrounded by an oasis with herds of cattle and sheep and sandy orchards.

The Taolai River runs through the middle.

Lianhuo Expressway is completed.
Customers and partners, passing truck drivers, and even tourists see Jiahe Group standing on the Gobi Desert.

I have to say it’s awesome!
Miao Lanchun also understood the group's idea, which was equivalent to the boss's toy.

It’s just that other bosses like luxury cars, yachts and planes, but the boss of Jiahe is keen on all kinds of land that no one wants.

It's really hard to understand.

Miao Lanchun said: "Then I will assist Muhe Agriculture and Animal Husbandry in carrying out related work."

Guo Yang nodded. Only alfalfa could be used to grow grass and trees in the Gobi Desert.

In addition to the Gobi project, Guo Yang also arranged the preliminary work for other projects.

and Jiusan Grain and Oil's 10-acre organic soybean base;

The Lop Nur potash project requires coordination between Renhe and the CDB fertilizer working group to get a good understanding of the situation before discussing the next step.

Qu Yang from Denong Agricultural Supplies Store has taken people to investigate;
three milk distribution centers;
Guo Yang from Delong Livestock plans to go and see it in person, and also go to Xinjiang Province to inspect new plots of land.

After the meeting.

Guo Yang returned to the office, looked at the pile of materials on the table, and asked Xie Shijie:
"Where's the secretary you hired for me?"

"Where's my private jet?"
