I am farming in the real world.

Chapter 225 Rui County + racing, is there any future?

In the cafeteria of Rui County General Compound, it was already past 7 o'clock in the evening. There were many civil servants eating in the cafeteria. It was obvious that they had to work overtime at night.

Chen Jue, who had just arrived upon invitation, was enthusiastically pulled by Deputy County Mayor Wang Delong and sat at a small round table in the corner of the cafeteria.

Chen Jue had dealt with County Magistrate Wang several times before, and since they were old acquaintances, he was naturally not polite.

It happened to be dinner time and I was hungry, so I started eating as soon as I sat down at the table, intending to try the cooking of the chef in the county canteen.

The fact that Chen Jue was given special treatment shows how much the county leaders value him.

Of course, in addition to Wang Delong, who was in charge of investment promotion, the county's old secretary Wu Xiujie and county magistrate Li Xiaobo were also present. Several leaders looked at this somewhat outgoing young boss with curiosity.

"Boss Jue, this time your Magic Cube Group has launched a large satellite in front of the people of the whole country!"

"Is it true that the news reported that the World Robot Conference signed orders worth more than 700 billion?" Wang Delong asked with a smile on his face, using the serving chopsticks to put food into Chen Jue's plate.

Rui County's annual GDP is only more than 1300 billion, but the Magic Cube Group quietly went to the capital to participate in an exhibition, and just by selling an industrial robot, it completed more than half of the annual GDP target.

Add to that the billions of orders for "river dredging and desilting" that we had previously placed with several sister cities.

This year, Rui County's GDP growth rate has reached over 60% driven by the Magic Cube Group alone!

Such an incredible growth rate, looking at the entire city of Vancouver... No!
It ranks among the top among the 2843 county-level units in the country!

Such a great political achievement was achieved in a muddled way. What's wrong with inviting Chen Jue to cook in the canteen of the compound?
If such a terrifying growth rate can be achieved again next year, it will boost the local economic development of Rui County and promote the employment environment in the entire county.

The leaders of Rui County present here are all willing to open the TM canteen in Chen Jue's house.

"More than 700 billion is just a preliminary intention order. The amount may be even higher after the actual delivery." Chen Jue replied with a smile, making the Rui County leaders present excited.

The more he looked at Chen Jue, the more he liked him.

As for Chen Jue, after chatting with the leaders about some interesting things at the conference, he picked up a piece of sizzling beef from the table, tasted it, and immediately showed a somewhat 'amazing' expression on his face: "Is this the local Huling yellow cattle?"

Seeing that the young man seemed to be a knowledgeable foodie, the old secretary Wu Xiujie immediately helped pour a glass of homemade bayberry wine: "Local yellow cattle should be paired with local bayberry wine. After eating it, it is salty and fragrant with a little spicy and sweet aftertaste, which is endless flavor!"

Chen Jue did not delay upon seeing this. He followed the old secretary's instructions and tasted a few bites, his face full of enjoyment.

If Chen Ji's roast chicken can get a score of 10 with the help of the MC system, this dish paired with local yellow cattle and bayberry wine can definitely be rated 9 or even a higher 9.5.

As for the Ruixian Huling Yellow Cattle, it is called "Ouyue Fat Yellow Cattle" in ancient historical books and is one of the four major cattle breeds in China.

Don't be fooled by its name "yellow cattle". It is actually a type of black cattle. Like the endangered yellow cattle in Zhoushan, its meat quality can rival the Japanese Kobe cattle.

It is said that during the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, Japanese pirates frequently invaded the coastal areas of Zhejiang and Fujian, and brought local cattle back to Japan for local breeding, which led to the development of the now famous Japanese Wagyu brand.

Snacks derived from Huling Yellow Cattle, such as Huling calf ribs, Huling steak, and Huling beef, are hot-selling in the entire Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions.

However, due to excessive consumption more than a decade ago, the Huling Yellow Cattle were almost eaten to extinction, just like the Zhoushan Yellow Cattle.

Finally, the Rui County government invested money to build a protective breeding base, which maintained the number of pigs in the pens at a normal level.

Chen Jue had previously participated in an international food exhibition in Shanghai and had spent a large sum of money to import several live American Wagyu cattle.

It is currently in the hands of an old farmer who is a breeding expert, and is being crossbred with the local Huling Yellow Cattle.

With the support of the MC system, the growth rate of livestock and poultry becomes very fast, which can greatly shorten the breeding time.

This is also a new dish that Chen Jue has prepared for the Chen Ji brand. However, when it can be successful depends on the performance of the [breeding experts].

……

At the dinner table, after Chen Jue had a few drinks with the leaders, he went straight to the point and asked the reason for inviting him to be a guest.

All of you here are the officials of Rui County, who are so busy every day that you have no time to rest.

If you want to single out Magic Cube Group for praise, just make a phone call and arrange a survey.

If there is nothing important, he will basically not be invited to dinner.

"I still can't hide it from President Jue!"

"It seems that the car manufacturing projects of Mofang Automobile are in full swing in various places! The 11 car manufacturing bases have recruited more than 20 front-line employees at one time."

"We have always had a weak spot in the heavy manufacturing industry in Rui County, and we have a lot of historical debts. After discussing with Secretary Wu and Lao Li, I thought about whether we could let Magic Cube Automobile also build a car manufacturing base in Rui County."

"It just so happens that there are still a lot of vacant plots in the Binhai Industrial Park. If you are interested, just let me know. We won't charge you rent, and we can even give you the land to build a factory!" Wang Delong's face turned red as he spoke.

As a former hometown of auto and motorcycle parts, Rui County’s failure to incubate its own vehicle manufacturing company is definitely a major failure in its past investments, no less than the international small commodity market.

Now that the unicorn Magic Cube Group is beginning to rise, the county leaders have become more active.

I wish Chen Jue could set up a car manufacturing base in his hometown to drive local economic development and manufacturing transformation.

After all, the economic structure of Rui County is still dominated by traditional light industries such as shoes and clothing.

Although there are some forging factories everywhere, they are only entry-level heavy industries that make rough blanks for vehicle parts, and they are far from real cutting-edge manufacturing.

Seeing that several county leaders had spoken up, Chen Jue had no choice but to say something.

So he took a sip of the bayberry wine and expressed his thoughts: "County magistrate, old secretary, it's not that I don't want to move the car manufacturing base back, but there is already a ready-made Weimar base in Wenzhou."

"In addition, Rui County is not a traditional heavy industrial city and has a small local population. Even if I move the car manufacturing base back, there is a shortage of qualified technical workers locally. I need to recruit a large number of people from other places, which is not cost-effective."

When Wang Delong heard Chen Jue's refusal, his face became a little embarrassed: "Really not possible?"

Chen Jue nodded: "No!"

"Hey~ Delong! Please don't make things difficult for Xiao Chen. Getting a deep-water port for free will be enough for our entire county to reap dividends for decades. Why are you looking for a car manufacturing base?" Seeing this, old Secretary Wu stepped forward to help smooth things over.

County Mayor Li Xiaobo also nodded in agreement: "The population of our county is relatively scattered, and there is no reserve of industrial workers who can build cars. If we rashly introduce a car manufacturing base, it will indeed delay the progress of the Magic Cube Auto project."

However, just when everyone thought that this dinner in the canteen of the compound, which was intended to "attract investment", would end in a bad way because of the failure to reach an agreement on the car manufacturing base.

Chen Jue, however, opened a new window of thought for the leaders present who were bent on developing the local economy of Rui County: "To be honest with you, I was deeply touched when I led the team to Germany to break the record of the Nürburgring Nordschleife."

“Why are all the major international automobile events firmly controlled by foreign car companies?”

"There is no place for our domestic car companies in Formula One, Nürburgring, rally and so on."

"Since others are unwilling to take us to play, then we will organize an international car race ourselves."

"I plan to invest a huge amount of money to build a racetrack and turn the entire Rui County, especially the section along the Feiyun River, into a racing mecca that belongs to China!"
