Chapter 181: Water is wealth

Jingyu County is located in the southeast of Jilin Province, at the western foot of Changbai Mountain and the upper reaches of Songhua River. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers. The natural resources are very rich. Its forest coverage rate reaches more than 80%, and its natural form is very well preserved. Jingyu County was formerly known as Mengjiang County, to commemorate the heroic martyrdom of General Yang Jingyu, commander-in-chief of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces. It was renamed Jingyu County and belongs to Baishan City.
One of the important projects of Zhou Hao's "Tianhe" beverage company is the development of mineral water. The most famous mineral water resource in China is Jingyu County, which will be called "Mineral Water City" in the future. In Zhou Hao's previous life, the mineral water resources of Jingyu County were truly developed after 1998. Famous mineral water brand companies including "Nongfu Spring" and "Wahhaha" have all entered Jingyu County.
Before Zhou Hao's rebirth, there were 47 proven high-quality mineral waters in Jingyu County, with daily water inflows of more than 150,000 tons.
Today, the real development value of Jingyu County is still unknown. And Zhou Hao is about to take advantage of his own advantages, try to include the mineral water resources of Jingyu County in his hands, and reserve sufficient mineral water resources for his "Tianhe" beverage company.
Zhou Hao and Zhao Yuqin came to Jilin Province by train. As the temperature here is still relatively low, even the air is cold. However, the environment here is much fresher than in Beijing, which makes Zhou Hao and Zhao Yuqin feel relaxed and happy.
It cannot be said that the natural environment of Jingyu County is very good. Although it has not yet been developed, the beautiful scenery here is no worse than other places in China.
This time I came to Jingyu County with Zhou Hao, but Zhao Yuqin did not bring a guard. Because Zhou Hao is by her side, she is absolutely safe. If even Zhou Hao can't guarantee her safety, even the presence of a guard will not help. On the other hand, although the main purpose of coming to Jingyu County this time is to purchase the right to develop its mineral water resources, Zhao Yuqin also regarded this trip as a trip to the mountains and water with Zhou Hao. How could it be disturbed by others? It was also the reason why she chose trains instead of planes, so that she could spend more time with Zhou Hao.
On the train, the two close friends made the rest of the passengers think they were newly married couples, which made Zhao Yuqin even more sweet.
However, their sweet journey to Jingyu County has come to an end. In order to obtain the development rights of Jingyu County more easily, Zhao Yuqin notified the mayor of Baishan City before coming here.
Before that, Ou Wanqun, the mayor of Baishan City, had always believed that Jingyu County was a remote village. Apart from Yang Jingyu's reputation, Jingyu County was a small village hidden in the mountains. And when he received someone who wanted to invest in Jingyu County, he still thought that it would be better to put the investment in the city and use it in more potential projects than to throw the money in that small village.
But when he knew that Zhao Yuqin was coming, he hurried over from Baishan City in person. He knew the weight of the Zhao family, so he decided in his heart how to meet Zhao Yuqin's requirements, not to mention that they want to invest in Jingyu County, even if they throw money in the Yalu River, Ou Wanqun will applaud.
Joining him to greet Zhao Yuqin and Zhou Hao were Zhang Guiqing, the magistrate of Jingyu County, and local officials, large and small.
The two Zhou Hao who arrived in Jingyu County by car were shocked when they saw the greeter team headed by Ou Wanqun. The officials even raised banners with the red background and yellow letters on it that read "Welcome to Mr. Zhou Hao." Come to Jingyu County to invest with Ms. Zhao Yuqin."
"Sister, your name is really loud, I think we can take the entire Jingyu County down." Zhou Hao smiled at Zhao Yuqin.
Zhao Yuqin said in a funny and angry way: "Really, who do these people think of us?"
As soon as they saw them, Ou Wanqun and Zhang Guiqing greeted them with smiles, and enthusiastically shook Zhou Hao's hand, "Welcome, welcome, it is our honor for both of you to come to Jingyu County to invest and promote our economic development here. ."
After his rebirth, Zhou Hao had already had a lot of contact with these government officials, and now he was more than proficient in dealing with Ou Wanqun and others. As for Zhao Yuqin on the side, she seldom spoke, and completely gave the initiative to Zhou Hao. Ou Wanqun, who made Hua's mind to please her, was depressed, and many good words that had been prepared for a long time were of no use.
Then, Zhang Guiqing took Zhou Hao and the two to visit Jingyu County.
As in the memory of previous lives, apart from the large-scale production base that has not yet appeared, the green mountains and green waters in Jingyu County are so beautiful. However, Jingyu County has abundant reserves of natural mineral water, stable flow, and relatively concentrated distribution of mineral springs, which provides convenient conditions for large-scale development.
In Zhou Hao's eyes, the clear waves and clear waters that looked around were piles of money.
Zhao Yuqin said in Zhou Hao's ear: "Xiaohao, after the survey and estimation by the people we sent earlier, there are more than 40 mineral springs that can be developed in Jingyu County. If you want to buy all their development rights, you should It costs about 400 million yuan. If I come forward to discuss with Ou Wanqun, the price should be lower by 30 to 40%."
"Sister, we will give out five hundred million." Zhou Hao said, "However, my request is that all the mineral spring development rights in Jingyu County belong to us, and the period is fifty years."
"Five hundred million, isn't it a bit too high?" Zhao Yuqin was already saving Zhou Hao money.
Zhou Hao shook his head, "No, it's not expensive at all, sister, I believe that in a few years, the money we invested here will be back ten times a hundred times, compared to 500 million is not expensive at all. And We will also build a production base here to develop Jingyu County into a veritable'mineral water city'."
Now that Zhou Hao said so, Zhao Yuqin also nodded and told Ou Wanqun and Zhang Guiqing of Zhou Hao's opinions.
Ou Wanqun and Zhang Guiqing were stunned when they heard that they would invest 500 million yuan in Jingyu County and build a production base here. Originally, Ou Wanqun thought that Zhou Hao and the others were only investing in tourism resources in Jingyu County. Ten to 20 million would be more than enough to make the finances of Jingyu County and Baishan City easier.
But now, one vote is 500 million, and Ou Wanqun is already thinking in his heart that with this political achievement, he might leave Baishan City in the next term and go to the province to get a job.
"But..." Ou Wanqun said hesitantly to Zhou Hao and Zhao Yuqin: "Fifty years, isn't it a bit too long?"
Then Zhou Hao smiled and said to Ou Wanqun: "Mayor Ou, I can give you a promise. We are building a production base here and can hire local people here. I believe we can provide you with more than 10,000 positions. Moreover, from now on, Jingyu County and even your Baishan City can develop rapidly, Mayor Ou, I even wonder if fifty years are too short."
Hearing that Zhou Hao could provide them with more than 10,000 jobs, Ou Wanqun's eyes were bright. Because many state-owned enterprises are now laid off due to poor management, the number of unemployed groups in Baishan City is increasing, which has become a very headache for the municipal government.
After weighing it repeatedly, Ou Wanqun gritted his teeth and nodded, "Okay, I promise you all. But, Mr. Zhou, can you guarantee that your funds will be in place as soon as possible?"
"This is naturally no problem." Zhou Hao laughed, and then shook hands with Ou Wanqun and Zhang Guiqing happily. Turning around and looking at the blue waves and green water, Zhou Hao was very excited.
The notion of "water as wealth" exists widely among the people, and Zhou Hao is now turning this concept into reality. The water in Jingyu County is real wealth.
Zhao Yuqin said to Zhou Hao: "Xiaohao, money matters are not a problem. I have already negotiated with the bank, and they have also agreed to provide us with this loan."
In fact, Zhou Hao originally wanted to cash out the money in the international futures market, but Zhao Yuqin said that the money could not be moved. You know, Zhou Hao's money in the Hong Kong stock market and the international futures market grows every day, just like a snowball constantly rolling. If the money is cashed out, its growth rate will be greatly affected, which means that Zhou Hao's loss will be great. Instead of doing this, it is better to borrow from the bank. Compared with those that doubled in the futures market, the bank's interest of 10 to 20% is obviously more cost-effective.
"Thank you, sister." Zhou Hao said gratefully.
He knew that the reason why the bank was willing to lend him a loan was all for Zhao Yuqin's sake. However, Zhou Hao will repay these loans at normal interest rates in the future, unlike other government-business collusion that turns the loans into bad debts and causes the country to suffer losses. In this way, Zhou Hao would not leave the Zhao family in dust.
After discussing the relevant investment rules, Ou Wanqun invited Zhou Hao and Zhao Yuqin to rest in a hotel in Baishan City, but Zhou Hao declined. Compared with those hotels, Zhou Hao and Zhao Yuqin liked the natural scenery of Jingyu County more, so they planned to stay here.
As the magistrate of Jingyu County, Zhang Guiqing naturally arranged for them very thoughtfully. He guessed that the two might have been tired of the luxurious life, so he ingeniously let them live in a fruit farmer's family in Jingyu County, which really satisfied Zhou Hao and Zhao Yuqin, who were tired of the bustle of the city.
The family members of this fruit farmer are very many, there are a full twenty or thirty people, and they all become a small clan, and the family gets along very well, which is lively and warm.
They thought Zhou Hao and Zhao Yuqin were a couple, and enthusiastically cleaned up a spacious room for them.
