He paused on purpose to let everyone digest what he had just said. After a minute, he said, "My idea is just a preliminary idea. It's not mature yet and might not be effective. However, I'm willing to throw a brick to attract jade and expand everyone's thinking. The situation is like this. I know an entrepreneur who built a dry fruit and grains processing plant in Jiupo Town's granary. The business has been pretty good, so the supply is very tight. Jiupo Town's local dry fruits, such as walnuts, chestnuts, hazelnuts, jujubes, and other grains, such as sorghum, soybeans, black beans, and so on, have all been bought out by her plant. Now, she needs to go to other mountain villages to buy raw materials. I'm thinking, if her processing factory can continue to develop, that means that there will be a long-term demand for dried fruits, grains, and other raw materials. Then, can we start a dry fruit forest and grains plantation industry in Xishan Village because of this? "
Zhang Hui was the first to speak. "I think it's possible. As long as the plant continues to operate, there will always be a demand for raw materials. Then, if Xishan Village manages to grow raw materials, they will never have to worry about not having a market. They will be able to form a local production, processing, and sales chain in Jiupo Town. Who knows how many jobs will be created. I think this idea is pretty good. Director, I support your idea. "
Yuan Xiaodi pondered for a while and said, "If this plant can continue to develop normally, Director, your idea shouldn't be a problem in theory. However, I think that we should consider many other aspects. We can't just rely on this plant. Unexpected situations can happen …"
Li Rui nodded and said, "Director Deeny is right. In fact, as I said just now, relying on this processing plant can only solve the poverty problem of some poor families. After all, some poor families may not have enough or good enough farming land. If we want to achieve poverty alleviation on a village scale, we obviously need to think of more ways. "
Ling Shuyao said lightly, "Your idea is good, but I don't know if you've considered how long it will take for your idea to be effective. Coarse grains were still manageable since they were planted and harvested in the past. But for the mountainous areas, how much land was there that could be used to grow coarse grains? As for the dried fruits, they belong to economic trees. The planting cycle is long and the fruiting period is long. As far as I know, it takes three years for the walnut seedlings, which are specially used for grafting, to reach a high yield, and five years to reach a peak yield. Can you wait for such a long time? Other departments can produce poverty alleviation results in a few months or even half a year, but you need three years? Do you think it looks good? "
Li Rui was repeatedly questioned by her, but he was not angry. He looked at her with a smile and thought that he was right to invite her to this small meeting. She was simply a female Zhuge Liang in poverty alleviation and development work. Besides her, who else could give him such practical and tricky suggestions? Apart from her, who else in the entire Municipal Party Committee was so proficient in poverty alleviation and development? This cold, arrogant, and noble female investigator was simply a work assistant that God had specially sent to him. He said with a smile, "You are right. It seems that I have been careless. Like I said just now, my idea is just a preliminary idea. Whether it can be practical or not still needs to be discussed and revised by everyone. Now, it seems that it is still not very practical and needs to be modified. "
His mind worked quickly, and in the blink of an eye, he came up with a corrective measure. He smiled and said, "Then how about this? The director of the processing plant came forward and cooperated with the poor families in the village to establish a mutual aid forest planting base. What kind of base would this be? In this way, the processing plant would rent the hills of the poor families and plant and graft high-quality dried fruit saplings. The poor families would be responsible for the daily planting and pruning of the dried fruit trees planted in their hills, such as watering, spraying, pruning, and harvesting. After the dried fruits are harvested, the processing plant would collect them. Under this model of cooperation, the poor families would be able to get rent from renting the hills, and they would also be able to get a salary from managing the dried fruit trees. With these two sources of income, a considerable number of people would be able to get out of poverty and become rich. "
Zhang Hui frowned and said, "Director, according to your method, will the owner of the processing plant be willing? What benefits would he get? " Li Rui smiled and explained, "The processing plant can get a stable source of dried fruit raw materials. Isn't this the biggest benefit he can get? It also depends on how he negotiates with the poor families. If the negotiation is good, he can get the dried fruit raw materials without spending any money. If the negotiation is not good, he can also buy the dried fruit produced by the processing plant at a price far lower than the market price. In short, he can only profit and not lose. "
Ling Shuyao expressed her opinion, "It's impossible not to spend money. The poor families are not stupid. Your method is not bad. Although it's impossible to plant crops in the mountains, it's not a problem to plant dried fruit trees. It's easy to plant a few hundred acres of large hills. When harvesting, the yield will be shocking. It's enough for the processing plant to use. And the investment won't be too much. I think that if the processing plant owner knows how to calculate, he will agree to set up this cooperative planting base. "
Li Rui smiled and thought to himself, 'You definitely don't know that I'm actually the boss of that processing plant. I'll find someone who knows how to do the math and see if I'm losing money or making money. If I can make money, then I'll help myself win this pair of poverty alleviation.'
Among the eight people in the small conference room, except for Li Rui and Ling Shuyao who had worked in the poor villages for a period of time, and except for Zhang Hui who admired Li Rui very much and was very interested in the work he wanted to do, no one else had studied poverty alleviation work. Some of them even didn't understand what kind of work it was. These big pen holders buried themselves in piles of official documents all day long. Their work style was the same. It had been the same for more than ten years or even decades. Their brains had long become rigid. They came to this kind of meeting that had nothing to do with their own work. They only came with their ears. Who would think with their hearts? Seeing that the director had already proposed a way to help the poor, they all agreed to support, but no one gave any other way.
Thus, Li Rui awkwardly saw that after a wave of support and praise, the conference room fell into silence. No one else expressed their opinions. He had thrown out a brick, but it didn't attract any jade. He was rather disappointed, but he also understood that he couldn't expect these pen holders and bookworms to come up with a good plan. After all, none of them were professional poverty alleviation workers.
The meeting could only end here. Everyone left one after another. In the end, Li Rui and Ling Shuyao were the only ones left in the room.
The two of them looked at each other. Li Rui sighed and said, "Other than you, who else can help me?" Ling Shuyao curled her lips and got up to leave. Li Rui hurriedly said, "Don't go yet. I want to take some time to lead a team to Xishan Village for field research. Come with me." Ling Shuyao said, "Why should I? Do you think that just because I'm here for a meeting, I'm from the First Department of the Secretary? That you can order me around as you wish? " Li Rui smiled and said, "Of course not. I've never thought of it that way, and I've never dared to think of it that way. Good fellow, you're a well-known Deputy Director. Your rank is one level higher than mine. I have to treat you as my boss. How would I dare to order you around? Aren't I inviting you? Let's go to Xishan Village and take a look around. We can also climb the mountains and see the water. We can relax and at the same time, reminisce about our life in Little Dragon King Village helping the poor. "
Ling Shuyao said, "That's more like it. If you beg me, I can consider it." Li Rui smiled and said, "Okay, I beg you." Ling Shuyao curled her lips and said, "Is this how you beg? Where's your sincerity? I don't see it. "Li Rui said," Can I treat you to a meal another day? "Ling Shuyao said," That's more like it. Go back and take a look. Let me know when you want to go. I'll go with you when I'm free. "After saying that, she brushed past him.
Li Rui looked at her skinny figure and then looked at her arrogant walk like a red-crowned crane. He was amused and proud. He thought to himself, It's fine if you, Ling Shuyao, are so arrogant in front of others, but why do you have to put on airs in front of me, Li Rui? Others may not know, but don't you know? What's the relationship between us? That night in your dormitory, who hugged you to sleep? In his heart, he knew that this walking posture was already a habit of hers. He was afraid that she would not change it in this lifetime. He was afraid that she would walk like this even when she was old. He smiled and followed her out the door.
After returning to the office, he called Yang Peng and told him about his idea of the mutual aid forest planting base. He asked him to immediately organize people to study the feasibility of the base and produce a feasibility report.
