Qi Hong frowned and said with a wry smile, "It's too much. Now the provinces and cities are very strict about the fund limit for poverty alleviation projects. It's difficult to apply for more than 100,000 yuan. Moreover, the application for large project funds generally has clear conditions. For example, the planting project needs to exceed a certain standard, such as 200 mu or 300 mu. Only then will a large amount of financial support be given; for example, the breeding industry needs to have more than a certain number of stocks, such as 300 or 500. Although your friend's wild vegetable project does have the effect of poverty alleviation and can also apply for project funding support, it can't be applied for so much money. "Li Rui asked," How much can it be applied for at most? " Qi Hong thought for a moment and said, "Work hard and think of a way. It's still possible to get 300,000 or 400,000 yuan."
After Li Rui heard this, he had a little intention of backing out. He thought to himself that he had promised Ou Yangxin that he would build this processing plant for her, not just give her an investment of 300,000 or 400,000 yuan and let her invest her own money. Although she could afford it, it would be against his original intention. Instead of getting less than half of the investment for the processing plant from the Poverty Alleviation Office, it was better to give this small one million yuan. It just so happened that his old friend, Liu Annie, gave him a card before emigrating abroad. There should be some money in it. Although he had never seen the amount, it should be at least one million yuan. It was definitely enough to set up the framework of the processing plant.
Qi Hong seemed to be afraid that he would not completely give up and added difficulty to him, "Your friend's project, if she wants to apply for financial support, she can't go to the Municipal Poverty Alleviation Office. The Municipal Poverty Alleviation Office is not responsible for the specific project. She must be affiliated with the Hanshui County Poverty Alleviation Office. In addition, according to the project application process, she has to cooperate with the two committees of the poor villages that will benefit. She has to submit a project application and then submit it to the upper levels for approval. After the approval of the township government, the county's Poverty Alleviation Office, and the Agriculture Committee, she will return to the city and we will approve it for her … "
Li Rui scratched his head when he heard this. He wanted to cry. He waved his hand and smiled, "Forget it, it's so troublesome. I thought it would be easy to apply for project approval and support for poverty alleviation. Who knew there would be so many things. Forget it, I won't do it."
Qi Hong, as the director of the project division under the Municipal Poverty Alleviation Office, was only a cadre at the section-level. he rarely had contact with such a big shot like him. How could he give up so easily? Seeing that he was backing out, he hurriedly persuaded, "Trouble? Hehe, of course it's troublesome. How can it not be troublesome to get money from the government? However, even though it sounded troublesome, it wasn't that troublesome in practice. How about this, Director Li, as the director of the Poverty Alleviation Office in our city, I have a good relationship with the directors of the Poverty Alleviation Office in various poverty-stricken counties, including the director of Hanshui County's Poverty Alleviation Office. You can leave your friend and this project to me, and I will be responsible for running it for you, okay? "
Qi Hong's calculation was also very good. He wanted to use his own connections to do such a thing within his ability, so that Li Rui, the first secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, would owe him a big favor. Li Rui would not return it. The key was that he could make friends with Li Rui from now on. Being friends with such a popular official was equivalent to being promoted.
Li Rui naturally guessed his thoughts, but he didn't want to expose him. He thought that even if he helped to get the project funds, it would only be 300,000 or 400,000 yuan. What could he do? It was better to invest all of it himself. It would also show that he cherished Ou Yangxin very much. Thinking of this, he smiled and said, "Forget it. My friend is afraid of trouble, but I am more afraid of trouble. Thank you for your kindness, Director Qi …"
On the way home after work, Li Rui found an ATM machine and inserted the bank card that Liu Anni had given him into it. He entered the password written on the card and checked the amount inside. The result was that he didn't know if he didn't check, but when he checked, he was shocked. The number inside started with "2" and was followed by six zeroes (before the decimal point).
"Two million!"
Li Rui cried out involuntarily. He couldn't believe his eyes. He looked at it carefully and looked again and again. In the end, he confirmed that it was indeed two million. At this moment, his shock had completely turned into emotion. Thinking about the deep friendship Liu Anni had with him, and then thinking about how she had been exiled in a foreign country, his heart felt bitter and a bit of longing.
"Well, there are two million yuan in the card. Just take out half of it, and it's enough to help Ou Yangyang open a vegetable processing factory. But I can't give her the money directly, otherwise she is likely to refuse. I should rent the factory directly, buy processing equipment, and then take her to the factory after all the debugging is successful … Uh, unfortunately, I don't have time to do these things. It seems that I have to find someone to help me, but who should I ask for help? "
Li Rui had very few trusted people around him. He thought for a long time and couldn't think of a suitable person who could do this. He could only wait. Fortunately, the vegetable processing factory was not in a hurry. Ou Yangxin could always spend money to find other factories to process it for her in the short term. He planned to wait for his old classmate, Yang Peng, to come back to the city and let him be in charge of this matter.
The next morning, Song Chaoyang took time out of his busy schedule to go to the City Academy of Music and Art for research. Two leaders, Du Minsheng, the secretary general of the Municipal Party Committee, and Li Jing, the deputy mayor, accompanied him. The city's education bureau chief, Sang Tongguang, and two cadres from the bureau were also accompanying him.
This research could be said to be light and simple. There were not a large number of attendants or guards, nor were there any reporters from the city's television stations or newspapers accompanying him for interviews. It was more like a casual visit.
The City Academy of Music and Art was one of the first arts colleges in the city. It was located in the eastern suburbs of the northern district of the city. The school covered an area of more than 300 mu, and the building area was more than 100,000 square meters. The school facilities were perfect, and the teaching staff was strong. It had more than 200 full-time teachers and more than 3,000 students. It was the first arts college in the province. Some of the outstanding students cultivated by the school had won prizes in domestic arts competitions. Some were even accepted by national arts groups.
When Song Chaoyang and his group arrived, the school's director and the school's leaders were lined up at the entrance to welcome them. The academy had even made meticulous arrangements for this occasion. Colorful banners were a must, and there was even a red carpet at the entrance. On both sides of the entrance, there were six pairs of tall baskets of flowers. In addition, there were eight beautiful female students arranged on each side. They were dressed in cheongsams and sashes, standing gracefully as they welcomed the arrival of the city leaders. Each of them was tall and had long legs. They wore heavy makeup and had beautiful appearances, forming a beautiful scenery.
When Li Rui saw this scene, although he was used to it, he could not help but criticize in his heart. It's understandable that the school's leaders want to welcome the city's leaders. But can't they just stand at the entrance to welcome them and show their sincerity? Why did they have to let the female students dress up like fairies, bare their chests and bare their thighs, and show off at the entrance? Could it be that they're not your own daughters? Hmph, if I'm not a leader, I would definitely teach them a lesson.
The city's education bureau chief, Sang Tongguang, stepped forward to introduce the school's director, Xu Shenghua, to Song Chaoyang.
Xu Shenghua was in his fifties. His hairstyle was a typical "Central Support Area" hairstyle. There was not a single strand of hair in the center of his head. It was bald, and his hair was all over the sides. He looked very funny. He had a shoe-shaped face, and his appearance was average. His distinguishing feature was that he had a large brandy nose, as if there was a red pepper on his face. When he saw Song Chaoyang get out of the car, he immediately trotted forward to greet him. He nodded and bowed, stretched out his hands, and said with a respectful smile on his face, "Respected Song Shuji, hello. You've worked hard. Welcome to our school to guide us. I represent the school's leaders and all the teachers and students to express our warmest welcome to you."
Song Chaoyang came with a mission. He did not have the time or the mood to play the role of welcoming and sending off the school's leaders. After shaking hands with Xu Shenghua, he wanted him to bring him in for a tour. As for the other school leaders, there was no need to get to know them for the time being. But before he could say anything, he saw Xu Shenghua turn around and shout, "Present a garland for Song Shuji!"
Song Chaoyang looked up in surprise. He saw a beautiful female student walk out from behind the school leaders. She was also dressed like a welcoming lady. She held a colorful garland in her hands and walked towards him with a smile on her face. He thought to himself, What the hell is going on? Why is she giving me a garland? What kind of welcoming etiquette is this? But thinking that this might be the school's unique etiquette for welcoming leaders, he did not refuse. When the female student walked over, he lowered his head and let her put the garland on him.
Xu Shenghua looked at this scene with a smile and led the crowd to applaud. Then he shouted behind him, "Play the music!"
He did not know where the band was hiding. Anyway, after he gave the order, music soon sounded from the gate. It was a famous song, "The Story of Spring." It was a song that reflected the great changes brought about by Deng Xiaoping's speech in the South. The school chose to play this song and compared Song Chaoyang's visit to the school for research. Obviously, it was a high praise for Song Chaoyang, the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee.
Song Chaoyang was stunned again. He stared blankly at Xu Shenghua, feeling extremely bewildered. He didn't know if this was the Dean's personal arrangement or the arrangement of the school's leadership. What was going on? He had come here for research and had proper business, not to be a guest at the school. To play a song to welcome him, wasn't this too exaggerated?
Du Minsheng, Li Jing, and the others also felt that the school's welcoming ceremony was a little too grand. They even accidentally revealed that they were flattering Song Chaoyang, the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. It was a little too much. However, one does not hit a smiling person. After all, the school had good intentions to welcome him. They did not nitpick and just accepted it.
