When Wu Zhinan arrived at the office, the finance director stopped him. "Little Wu, you don't have any money on you, right?"
Wu Zhinan smiled shyly. "You're right! The director's eyes lit up. I didn't bring much money with me when I was exiled, and I bought some daily necessities during this time. My wallet is already empty. Director, do you have any good suggestions? "
"I don't have any good suggestions. It's not time to pay your salary yet, but I can lend it to you first. Otherwise, how are you going to Hanning tomorrow? "The director smiled." I can't let you hitch a ride there, right? "
"Hahahaha!" Wu Zhinan laughed embarrassedly and hit his head hard. He was now a civil servant, but he was no longer an exiled person. He was no longer unemployed. Everything was organized, and he didn't have to carry a bag of rice to work.
"Director, how much can I borrow?" Wu Zhinan asked.
"At least enough to pay for your trip to Hanning, and a month's salary. The expenses can be reimbursed, and the salary is an advance payment. It's your personal money. Tomorrow, the office will add an extra carriage on the train from Seoul to Hanning. This carriage will be for your staff and family members going to Hanning. Qian Yu will temporarily be the secretary general of the Provincial Party Committee. I will inform him to get some money for the trip. He will be responsible for the food and expenses on the train. You don't have to check out the rooms in Seoul. You can still stay there when you come back for work. If you check out, you can only stay in the hotel. As for how the hotel will be reimbursed, that's Kunling Province's problem. "
Wu Zhinan smiled brightly and walked briskly. He walked to the finance office and received his first salary amidst the congratulations and treats from the finance staff. He also borrowed a large sum of money. After coming out of the finance office, he returned to his desk and packed his belongings in a box. There would be someone to send it to the train tomorrow. The staff gave him a tablet and asked him to transfer his belongings from the office computer to the tablet. The tablet was a government-issued office item, not his personal belongings.
Prime Minister Qiu's office director called him and asked him to come over.
Wu Zhinan put the tablet into his briefcase and walked to Prime Minister Qiu's office. There were seven or eight people sitting in the office. Zhou Qing and Qian Yu were also present. Seeing him come in, Zhou Qing nodded as a greeting. Qian Yu was standing at the side, writing something down in a notebook.
The Governor, Wu Zhinan, and the Deputy Governor were Zhou Qing and Jing Quan. It was obvious that they were Japanese immigrants. His suit was appropriate, he stood upright, he spoke respectfully, and he liked to bow. Jing Quan was in charge of the industry. The Japanese immigrants had moved a group of enterprises to Kunling Province, and they needed someone to communicate with them. Jing Quan's real name was Jiu Jing Quan. There were people with the surname Jiu in China, but there were none with the surname Jiu. The commander of the Kunling Province Garrison Command was surnamed Gan Defu. He was from the Red River. He was a retired military officer from Shin Myung Province, a typical commander without an army. Currently, there were only three people in his garrison headquarters.
A director in charge of cultural education, surnamed Zhong, looked more like a travel enthusiast. He was dressed in denim clothes and was not young. Wu Zhinan was a little worried about whether such a person could be responsible for cultural education.
The person in charge of civil affairs was a woman in her thirties. Her surname was Fan. She was neither beautiful nor ugly.
The director of the Public Security Bureau was a retired battalion commander from the first division of the Special Forces. His surname was Zhang. He had a murderous look on his face and was a little scary.
They did not know each other and just nodded and laughed.
Zhang Weide's job was finance and tax, and Qian Yu's current position was chief executive.
A grassroots team. A standard grassroots team! Wu Zhinan knew that Premier Qiu's thinking was very simple. First, someone had to be in charge, and then slowly perfect it. Those who were suitable would continue to be in charge, and those who were not, would be replaced!
Qiu Cha accompanied Liu Yu over. This was the second time Wu Zhinan met Liu Yu. He was a little afraid of this twenty-year-old king because the first time he met Liu Yu was still fresh in his mind.
That was five days ago. He had submitted a report on the development of Kunling to Qiu Cha. Because he had never been to Kunling Province, his understanding of Kunling Province was completely based on theory and data. Therefore, the report was very empty. Not only did it say nothing, but the biggest problem was that it listed a lot of problems but did not have a solution. According to the rules, it would be strange if such a report was not executed. However, not only did Premier Qiu Cha not execute him, but he also praised him. He said that he was able to find the characteristics and shortcomings of Kunling from theory and data, which meant that he had put in a lot of effort. As long as he could bring these problems to the real world, he would definitely produce a good answer.
Liu Yu asked him a few questions that were difficult for him to answer. One was the border problem with Russia, another was the development of the Caspian Sea, and another was the balance of industrial and agricultural development.
Liu Yu told him that the border problem with Russia was a matter of fighting for every inch of land. There was no need to be afraid of border conflicts. The military escalation would naturally be handled by the military. The development of the Caspian Sea was the same. The countries around the Caspian Sea all wanted to get more water from the Caspian Sea. Their attitude towards them was the same. There was no need to be afraid of conflict, especially Azerbaijan, which was opposite the Caspian Sea. That was the estuary of the Black Sea. Sooner or later, they would be taken over. As for Uzbekistan, their neighbor to the south, there was no need to pay attention to them. The 39th Army was dealing with them. They had a lot of people and poor land. There was nothing to gain.
Currently, there was a very interesting phenomenon in Kunling Province. The original residents were mostly herdsmen. Those who came from China were mostly farmers. Those who came from Uzbekistan were mostly workers. Since it had already been divided naturally, they would let nature take its course. With 800,000 square kilometers of land, it should not be a problem to feed 10 million people. The main problem now was that the industrial products could not be smoothly exported. They had to go through China, and the cost was very high. Therefore, the conflict in the Caspian Sea had to escalate as much as possible. Opening up the transportation route to the Caucasus was the top priority.
Wu Zhinan suggested that if there was a conflict with Russia in the north, he would snatch a piece of land from him. He would use it to exchange with the land south of Volgograd in the north of the Caucasus. The conditions were much better than Georgia, Azerbaijan, and Armenia. Russia's Don River Canal was already connected to the Caspian Sea and the Black Sea. There was also a train from Atrou to Roskov.
Liu Yu told him that the conflict with Russia would not happen for a while. After all, everyone needed time to heal their wounds. If there was a conflict again, it would not be a local war anymore. It would either destroy the country or destroy them. Therefore, although the conditions in the south of the Caucasus were not good, it should not be a problem to build a 700-kilometer-long highway and a high-speed railway in front of large-scale construction machines.
Wu Zhinan knew that expansion was still the top priority of the young King.
Qiu Cha accompanied Liu Yu to the meeting. Everyone stood up. Liu Yu warmly shook hands with everyone present. The first was the governor of South Wu. Everyone said a few words and left. Qiu Cha was left to explain the details to them.
Qiu Cha told everyone that finding a way to develop the economy was the top priority. Kunling Province's unique economic environment required everyone to find a new way of development. At the same time, he brought them a person. He was an engineer from Shin Myung Province's Nanding Steel Factory. His surname was Li Yizhong, and he was from Zhongyue Province. He graduated from Waseda University in Saigon. After Gao Jianling went to Mo Nan Province, Li Yizhong became Wang Xian's main assistant. He pioneered the high-strength steel technology on other metals. A large number of new metals appeared. Among them, the strength of aluminum alloy had reached seventeen times the previous strength. Wang Xian knew that the military products launched with these materials as the foundation would once again explode the world. After careful consideration, the base would be located in Kunling Province's Kunping City (formerly Baiganin District, Akkadibinsk Region, Kazakhstan). He would invest in a high-strength alloy factory there to produce high-strength aluminum alloy, titanium alloy, copper alloy, and superconducting gold. Once the factory was put into production, the entire Kunling economy would be free of worries.
Kunling Province was rich in mineral resources. The main minerals were chromium, copper, cobalt, titanium, gold, phosphorus, bauxite, petroleum, natural gas, sulfur, coal, and potassium. Due to the rich mineral resources, mining, coal, petroleum, ferrous metals, chemical, machine manufacturing, metal processing, and food processing were all relatively developed. Due to the emphasis on the east and the neglect of the west, the population was sparse, and the resources were useless.
No wonder the king confidently told Wu Zhinan not to worry too much about the economy and to focus on the conflict with the Caspian Sea countries. Now that he knew the focus of his work, Wu Zhinan had a plan. He turned to Zhou Qing, who was sitting beside him, and said, "Old Zhou, it seems like you don't have much to do as the one in charge of the economy. I want to improve the schools in the residential areas so that the children can't be delayed. After that, I want to settle down the medical, farmers' market, and department stores. I want you to focus on this area. The enterprise will be handed over to Jing Quan, the finance will be handled by Little Zhang, and the general affairs will be handled by Qian Yu. I might have to run around a bit, especially around the Caspian Sea. Without first-hand information, it feels like a dog biting a pig's urine. "
"I always feel that the leader of the province is different from the rest. Others are most afraid of the economy, but we are least worried about the economy. Instead, we are worried about logistics. We are afraid that the services will not be good enough and the people will not be satisfied." Zhou Qing said, "It doesn't matter if it's the Japanese or the Chinese. When they came here, they were mentally prepared. They know that the conditions here are poor and are willing to use their own efforts to improve this place so that they can live more comfortably. They will cooperate with us."
"Deputy Governor Zhou is right." Jing Quan, a Japanese immigrant, said, "When we came to Singapore from Japan, we were satisfied to be able to have a good night's sleep every day. When we think about the Japanese archipelago, it's like a broken boat that can sink at any time. Even if we have food and water, it's not good enough. I have been in contact with the large enterprises that have moved to Kunling Province from Japan. Hanqiang Heavy Industries, Kun Peng Mining, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, and so on are all ready. They are only waiting for the government's approval before they can start work. If Mr. Li Yizhong's high-strength alloy project is settled, Kun Peng Mining, Hanqiang Heavy Industries, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hansheng Aviation Machinery, and Hanwei Electronics will wake up from their dreams. They will be the first batch of manufacturers to obtain raw materials from the high-strength alloy project. Do you know the Longguang Industrial Park in Shin Myung Province? The director of the park, Chen Weiping, is now one of the wealthiest enterprises in the world, if not the wealthiest. That's because Nanding Steel only provides raw materials to Longguang Industrial Park. "
