I was reborn without dreams

Chapter 217 This Wenquxing is incredibly brave.
In response to the disaster caused by the heavy rainfall in western China, Zhang Da'an prepared 300 million yuan. The first 200 million yuan was used as an advertisement to make an appearance in western China.

The latter 100 million can be seen as "money to save lives" or as post-disaster reconstruction funds; it depends on the need.

"Yes, the tents and prefabricated houses will be transported there. I've already made arrangements, and the province will send someone to follow up and coordinate."

Disaster relief tents and travel tents are two different things. Normal organizations don't stockpile these things. Even large enterprises with security forces stationed there will only make routine purchases in small quantities for emergencies.

But Zhang Da'an was not a normal person at all. Because he had two militia battalions, he got a batch of field military tents and just printed "for disaster relief use" on them.

Besides that, there are prefabricated houses, which he started using at Xindongwei Port Middle School a few years ago. Now, a new version has been developed, and they are all modular components. Once all the interfaces are set up, the wiring is also convenient.

A prefabricated house can easily house a family. It comes with a shower room, a toilet, and a small kitchen. Drainage can be handled by connecting a sewage tank outside.

External power can be supplied by a diesel generator or a gasoline generator. If that's not possible, a battery array can be used. Unless you're being particularly extravagant, you won't use more than one kilowatt-hour of electricity per day.

The supplies departed from the airports in Jiangning City and Taihu City, and were directly shipped by contracted passenger and cargo aircraft. Two thousand disaster relief tents were deployed in central Sichuan, Guanzhong, and central Guizhou.

The disaster relief emergency funds allocated by the Ministry of Finance mainly involve stamping and signing. The money is transferred from Jiangkou Province to Guanzhong Province and Shuzhong Province. Once the money is in place, it follows the people and is used wherever it is needed, with frontline specialists confirming the details.

The confirmation method was quite crude. In addition to signing, there was also a small program that was urgently launched on the "Jinbang Mobile" app, which was like checking off a list of items, and finally the information was submitted to the reporting center for compilation.

Nobody really knows what this center is, but since no one has any objections, it's just been running for now.

In reality, it is an emergency fund management center under the guidance of the State Council. It is a temporary agency and can be considered an attempt at an "emergency disaster relief and response mechanism".

The center needs to track the flow of funds and fund applications and allocations within 24 hours. However, the delegation of authority and approval hierarchy have not yet been established. We are just trying to get it working right now.

Originally, because the amount of money involved was too large, using public funds for the experiment was feared to cause problems. Now that a hundred million has suddenly appeared, many collaborations have become much simpler.

Anyway, the Ministry of Finance allocated eight million to Guanzhong Province, and this time it was quite fast. They even gave it a special commendation when it reached Estonia.

As for "Zhang An Education," "Zhang An Electronics," "Zhang An Health," and the like, there were no special awards. Actually, things would be much easier if it became "Zhang An Group." Now we have to deal with them one by one.

"Boss, China Mobile in Sichuan said they want to talk to us about the 'Champion V1 series'."

"There are flash floods everywhere right now, so there's no need to worry about it for a day or two. Just focus on publicizing the disaster relief efforts. But remember, it's strictly forbidden to promote your own products or let others report on them."

"clear."

"By the way, I'll talk to the local state-owned investment companies in the province. If they want to donate money or goods, they don't need to come one by one. We're all from Jiangkou Province, so twelve companies are one family. I'll just add some lighting equipment and generators."

"it is good."

The heavy rainfall disaster in western China has caused enormous losses, with hundreds of casualties and millions of hectares of farmland flooded. The investment in post-disaster reconstruction will be substantial.

The civilian rescue teams organized by the "Zhang An Group" are now highly equipped and staffed. Both militia battalions have been mobilized, along with administrative cadres on rotation, totaling around 900 people.

Their food, drink, toileting, and sleeping are all taken care of by their work unit, but this is not just for show. The reason is simple: most of them are veterans themselves.

Once the red flag was raised, they began assisting in the relocation and resettlement of disaster victims in the local disaster area.

Because of its advanced equipment, hundreds of assault boats were airlifted over, and countless other communication equipment, power banks, field medical kits, and so on were also transported there. The amount of money spent left the local officials dumbfounded.

Originally, the major media outlets in the western region wanted to take some traditional shots, but everything from uniforms to equipment to facilities was too photogenic, so they gave up and could only take a picture of the red flags of the "Zhang An Electronic Militia Battalion" and the "Zhang An Industrial Militia Battalion" in the rain.

It was originally the "Zhang Xiaobai Militia Battalion", but they found a small black dog symbol on it, so they changed the flag.

no way.

While it was still raining, Zhang Da'an did not go to the disaster area. It was only after the transitional rainfall on the 19th that he set off for Guanzhong and Shuzhong.

The main area of ​​activity was in Bacheng City, and more than 200,000 people were evacuated from three or four surrounding cities. This, combined with the more than 100,000 people who were previously evacuated from Guanzhong Province, shows the extent of the trouble caused by this heavy rainfall.

Fortunately, the railway was restored shortly after the interruption. At that time, a batch of supplies was transported directly from Taihu City to the disaster area. The advantage of railway transportation is that it is from center to center, and then distributed.

In addition to a large amount of traditional disaster relief supplies, the supplies shipped from Taihu City this time also included three-wheeled motorcycles and electric tricycles. This is because in some small places where the terrain is relatively high, it is sufficient to ensure that food is available. However, if there is an emergency medical need, three-wheeled motorcycles and electric tricycles are more advantageous when coming from remote areas.

Another option is that the battery of an electric tricycle can be connected to an inverter to become a high-quality power source, which is suitable for distributed rescue operations.

The local "Veterans' Home" played a coordinating and communication role. When choosing the location for the prefabricated houses, many veterans were themselves operators of construction machinery, so loaders, excavators, and bulldozers could be used as long as they were available.

These devices were transported from Jiangning; they were all secondhand goods that had been stockpiled and were originally intended for teaching and internships. Now they are finally putting them to a proper use.

The city of Bacheng did not expect the disaster relief funds and supplies to arrive so quickly, especially the drinking water, which was quickly allocated. In addition to bottled water, they also did not expect that Wenquxing would have professional water purification equipment.

Actually, it would be strange if there wasn't one. Zhang Da'an had already snatched orders from the French and secured waterworks in more than a dozen counties, so procuring and developing various equipment was only natural.

Moreover, the laboratory itself is a major water user with a huge demand for purified water. Apart from large equipment that is inconvenient to bring, everything else that can be brought can be brought.

So apart from the two militia battalions being "guest soldiers" who didn't participate in the risk mitigation work, they could handle all the other tasks related to food, clothing, shelter, and transportation without any problems.

This is also mainly related to the large number of skilled workers in the militia battalion. They don't all become security guards after leaving the army. The workshop directors, foremen, and skilled workers in many workshops already possess technical skills.

In this situation, you don't even need an electrician's license. It's just like the militia battalion's usual 15-day field training in Jiangning.

The intensity of field training during most of my military service was actually much higher than it is now.

Compared to burying themselves in their work, the militia members were more nervous about Zhang Da'an's upcoming arrival in the disaster area.

I'm afraid Zhang Da'an might bump or fall here; if he gets hurt, I'll be devastated.

"Brother Da'an, I thought only the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River would experience heavy rain. Isn't it supposed to be the 'Land of Abundance'? How come it's raining so heavily?"

"Does God consult you before it rains?"

Zhang Da'an, wearing a T-shirt and rain boots, wandered around the temporary resettlement camp, mainly to check if the donated supplies had arrived.

They didn't intend to promote "Zhang An's" products themselves, but "Zhang An's" products should be visible everywhere on the front lines of disaster relief.

Among the supplies, what Zhang Da'an was most concerned about was the "Little Champion Series" candy. Parents would normally be reluctant to spend money on it, but now they could eat as much as they wanted.

In addition, the functional beverage "Zhuangyuan Jinbang" is also very popular, and a large number of "Zhuangyuan Jinbang" cans and bottles can be seen at garbage recycling points.

Normally, people give these as gifts, but this kind of activity takes a lot of energy. So, giving a bottle of taurine to stimulate the body can be quite effective.

The lighting uses solar energy and is also a product of the "Zhang'an Industrial Alliance". Taihu City's photovoltaic panel industry has not yet been taken over by old Europe, so many things can be done.

"Hmm, not bad, not bad..."

Unlike the people from the Civil Affairs Department who were inspecting people everywhere, Chief Instructor Zhang went straight to the front line of delivering his own products.

This is similar to artillery delivery; the more precise the delivery, the better the effect.

If you eat a "Little Champion Smart Candy Hard Candy" at this moment, Zhang Da'an is sure that both adults and children will only buy more of his own candies in the future.

At this time, after finishing their official interviews, the major media outlets in the Huaxi region seized the opportunity to advertise for the "Zhang An Group." Although the "Zhang An Group" did not pay them, they had already made arrangements with various parties.

They showered him with praise, saying things like "donated 200 million yuan" and "a team of top-scoring students."

The interviews with the two militia battalions were quite extensive, making it a kind of "special report on the disaster area." The boss, Fang Daqiao, was actually in the disaster area as well, but not in Bacheng; he was in another disaster-stricken city.

Old Fangtou just goes through the motions, saying whatever people want to hear, thanking this person and that person, expressing his attitude, and that's it.

On the 17th and 18th, the CCTV Evening News gave Lao Fangtou a two-second shot each time.

not bad.

As for Zhang Da'an, there were no photos of him, only a few brief mentions in written reports: "Mr. Zhang An, Chairman of 'Zhang An Education,' personally visited the disaster area."

There is no time, no place, and no people.

Normally, it would mention who received or accompanied them, but there was none of that.

The level has been reached.

The fact that people couldn't watch the Chinese national football team win the World Cup caused quite a stir.

There are also records of the tattoos that Hu Xianda got from burning his body.

Ultimately, they were afraid that someone might take advantage of the chaos to kill Zhang Da'an. The Hu family still had some old connections in Sichuan. The fact that Zhang Da'an didn't go to the neighboring Guanzhong Province but came directly to Sichuan Province still startled many people.

There were quite a few people accompanying him, some of whom knew Zhang Da'an and some of whom did not. However, the local officials were not stupid. Those who were called to accompany him were all "young talents" whose families were all from large Kshatriya households.

This time, the family gave instructions to ensure that the post-disaster reconstruction work proceeded in an orderly manner. At the same time, the family also reminded this "three-time champion" who came from afar that he had a very high say in the matter of disaster relief funds.

"Mr. Zhang, more than 30 million people in five provinces and cities have been affected by the disaster, and the situation in nine cities and 52 counties is quite urgent. Thank you for your help at this critical moment."

"Enough with the nonsense. Give me some of the flooded farmland in Bacheng after the disaster. Start with one million mu."

"..."

"What's wrong? Are you having trouble? If so, I'll find another place."

"No, no, no, Mr. Zhang, this... one million mu..."

"Am I discussing this with you? I've spent so much money, brought so many people, and donated so much supplies. Who would do this without personal gain? Do you think I'm here to do charity? Normally, when places like yours are trying to attract investment, even a glance from me would be disrespectful to my wealth. Taking a million acres of land from your Bacheng City is an act of great compassion, a sign of respect. You should be grateful. What kind of official are you? You have no sense of propriety at all."

"..."

"..."

"..."

The moment he opened his mouth, the people in the policy research office wanted nothing more than to tear Zhang Da'an's mouth apart. The Chengdu people who came along were also completely dumbfounded, wondering if this kid was really brave.

However, he does indeed have the strength to be that brave.

Zhang Da'an's unseemly behavior startled the members of the "Brahmin" family who accompanied him from Bacheng. However, since their business was not based on farmland, they were not flustered.

Anyway, if something really happens, it's the farmers who are in trouble, what does it have to do with the city people?
In ancient times, this was called land annexation.

Unfortunately, land consolidation is not allowed these days, but something similar to "land consolidation" does exist, except that it is not agricultural means of production, but industrial means of production.

“President Zhang, one million mu…that’s about the food supply for over a million people! This…this…”

"Fucking retard."

Zhang Da'an showed no mercy to the local officials, hurling insults at them without restraint. "Are you out of your mind? I said one million mu, can't you even haggle? The saying goes, 'Ask for the moon, bargain for the land,' can't you offer 1.2 million mu?" "..."

"..."

Divine gold.

Several of Zhang Deli's cronies had already heard him say that Wenquxing was a lunatic, and now that they saw it, it was indeed true.

A year of great disaster... well, not exactly a "year," but a "season," though that's not an exaggeration.

They actually took advantage of the chaos to loot; is this something a human being would do?
Zhang Da'an not only did it, but he also acted as if he was completely unafraid.

It should be understood that in terms of local power, the most prominent force is the clan power in South China, but in reality, it has already suffered from the impact of modernization. The collective control of the means of production has been transferred from farmland to "land rent" and "building rent," which is similar to "land annexation."

So, does this kind of "land consolidation" similar to land consolidation form an internal closed loop?

That's not the case. In fact, both "land rent" and "building rent" are closely related to urbanization and industrialization. When industrial clusters are transferred, spread, or relocated, these similar items will inevitably become dead costs.

Although the old man in flip-flops and a white vest has made a fortune with a bunch of keys hanging from his waist, that is an increase in individual wealth. For the entire South China region, this amount of wealth is nothing, but the risks are greatly reduced and social stability is greatly enhanced.

To put it bluntly, real land consolidation is the most terrifying thing.

While clan power is out in the open, there aren't many tricks they can pull off. On the contrary, the former incense halls and water-related organizations of the Southwest F4 are a hidden, conservative and stubborn force. They also have the functions of clan power that has been destroyed. In addition, they have integrated the social status of "county Brahmins". Their contagiousness is far stronger and faster than that of clan power.

Therefore, during this process, the outflow of population from western Sichuan accelerated dramatically, which was not simply a "siphoning effect," but also involved spatial squeeze and channel competition within the region.

Only when "dogs fight each other" and the conflict escalates to a real standstill can the lower classes actually manage to pick up a lot of scraps and earn enough to build a comfortable life.

However, people as far away as Fujian province also get scammed, so they can be considered to be in the same boat.

At this point, Zhang Da'an is playing the role of a complete "Jiangdong rat".

Their arrogance and domineering nature makes people hate them to the core, yet there's nothing they can do about it.

Who would dare to point their finger at a local "prefect" and humiliate him?

You are absolutely lawless!
However, what the local officials didn't know was that Zhang Da'an wasn't just utterly lawless; he was part-time lawless.

Lawlessness was a side job he did in addition to his regular work.

Doing part-time work is a very normal thing.

The policy research office staff wanted to reason with him and appeal to his emotions, but Chief Instructor Zhang insisted on eating "carp noodles" during a year of great disaster. What could anyone do to him?
Anyway, it won't make it into the newspapers.

He didn't need to put on a show; he just casually looked at the farmland distribution map and transportation lines, occasionally circling off plots of land, and then said to a "young talent" who was about to be parachuted into Chengdu: "I heard from your deputy director that you'll be in charge of propaganda work in Chengdu?"

Grow your mother's head.

Of all those present, Zhang Da'an was the biggest target. There was no way around it; he was the biggest, and his position made him a perfect target for a sniper to achieve great results.

However, since all the surrounding high points have been cleared, he may not care about his own life, but many people in Jiangkou Province with dreams still hope that he can live to be thirty.

Thirty years old, ten years—enough time for a master in their thirties to progress to the point of being free from confusion.

The "Triple Top Scholar" is a rare treasure of Jiangkou Province, and experts from the imperial court and sects all desperately want to use it to improve their skills.

It's a pity that it has now become a public good, which is truly regrettable for many people.

Two hundred billion yuan worth of public goods, not to mention that their value is even higher than two hundred billion yuan, is truly a waste of resources.

The people from Jiangkou Province who came to coordinate funding, supplies, and rescue teams were not surprised at all. For a sacred place like Jiangkou Province in East China, it was very reasonable and logical for the twelve branches of our sacred place to jointly raise a divine beast.

If a mythical beast doesn't bite, can it still be a mythical beast?
Mythical beasts are supposed to bite people.

If you're not convinced, don't play.

"In terms of publicity work, we must align with the spirit of the times, grasp the trend of development, and have forward-thinking ideas. I personally have some experience in this area. Since I have a connection with the disaster area this time, I don't mind helping you get things done in order to help me make money."

"..."

The other party's expression was somewhat varied, clearly not expecting that Zhang Da'an actually had a plan, and that he would say it directly in front of the people of Bacheng.

Actually, it doesn't matter whether you say it or not; it won't affect the final result.

Whether it's the F4 region in Southwest China or other similar areas, in the process of urbanization, we must always choose a route that conforms to the laws of development and benefits the most people.

This is an inevitable result of the modernization of the "Mandate of Heaven" concept since ancient times. In ancient times, the "Mandate of Heaven" was the "Mandate of Heaven" of the emperor and the scholar-officials. However, in modern times, after revolutions in the armed forces and culture, the "Mandate of Heaven" has been abstracted and its rights and responsibilities have been equalized. Even with various problems and setbacks, it still represents the fundamental interests of the broadest masses of people in general.

Ordinary people on the streets and alleys mostly don't really understand what productivity or relations of production are. Those who can bark and rave on the internet are mostly college graduates. They may be poor, but they understand these things. Most of them have received higher education, and most of them are also arrogant.

This is a common problem among intellectuals.

At the moment, the people of Bacheng were very annoyed that the "three-time champion" from out of town was just a rich man, but they were not so angry that they would kick Zhang Da'an out. However, in a couple of days they would find out that this Zhang was not just a rich man, but also a wicked person.

When I went to Chengdu, I stopped by a teahouse.

The saying "Don't go to Sichuan when you're young" is really true. Although there are many "Tyrannosaurus beasts", there are also many beautiful women. Moreover, due to the geographical climate, the place is indeed a good place to live. Chief Instructor Zhang spent a whole day looking at girls in many places in Chengdu.

I also handed over a charter to the newly arrived "Hanlin Academy Compiler," and held an online video conference with the Policy Research Office to discuss some ideas about urban publicity work.

"Judging from the floods caused by the heavy rainfall in five provinces and cities this time, it is necessary to establish a rapid response emergency management mechanism. I won't offer any opinions on the national level, but I do have some suggestions on the provincial level. After all, I contributed 300 million yuan, and if I'm not allowed to speak, everyone should feel bad."

"..."

"..."

"..."

As always, Zhang Da'an launched into an outrageous opening, immediately escalating the pressure on the Policy Research Office. The attendees were left bewildered, finding this style utterly unacceptable.

However, since Zhang Da'an spent so much money this time, the right to bark in the West China region was not implemented from the bottom up, but from the top down. In addition, he had other people cooperating with him, such as in Rongcheng City, which changed the situation.

When this "young talent" arrived, his elders said that the "three-time champion" would lend a helping hand.

Not bro...

You sent me flying with a firecracker, didn't you?

But can we really take Zhang Da'an's words as a joke?
Something that doesn't exist.

Because Zhang Da'an always prepares the data in advance for meetings with the Policy Research Office, he also sends project plans and designs to Beijing for archiving, so that they can be easily checked.

If something seems absurd, then you need to calm down.

While Sichuan province was overwhelmed with disaster relief efforts, the sudden appearance of 300 million yuan in supplies and cash allowed the five provinces and cities to recover from the emergency phase and were not short of money and supplies.

Therefore, while the focus of work at this time is ostensibly on disaster relief, it has actually shifted to post-disaster reconstruction.

The land contracting and investment in the Huaxi region proposed by Zhang Da'an are actually the same thing.

It's a "package deal," just on a larger scale, but it's only a part of it. Expanding it to the entire western China region would reveal the full scope of the investment.

It should be noted that this is Zhang Da'an's own capital, several billion yuan in pure cash. There's no other way; the French team is too rubbish, and the South Korean team is too incredible.

The World Cup is so much fun.

The entire investment scale of the Southwest F4 is closely related to reservoirs, roads and bridges, and mineral resources. The semiconductor investment mentioned is also related to mineral resources.

The upstream industries of semiconductors are still mineral development and rare metal smelting.

Electrolytic aluminum and magnesium-aluminum metal production are still considered peripheral to semiconductors, not even counting tin mining.

The scale of the entire industry distribution is not enough with just one Southwest F4; it simply cannot satisfy the appetite of the fifty large and medium-sized cities across the country in the future, let alone the national market, which has an even greater demand.

It would take about fifty Southwest F4s to slightly balance the total processing capacity of the domestic coastal areas from north to south, not even counting the areas along the Yangtze River.

If you go all in on a billion or two billion in a remote, impoverished area, the future profits will be zeros off, and you can have as much as you want.

Strictly speaking, if you include Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, and Cambodia, these mineral resources would be enough to meet the needs for the next ten years.

After all, the full-scale promotion of "home appliances to the countryside" has stimulated consumption, but it has also started a competitive environment. As the prices of various industrial products have been brought down from their pedestals, the demand for mineral resources has been further expanded.

Zhang Da'an is currently at an awkward juncture, taking advantage of the Southwest F4's dire financial situation to first suppress the local "district and county Brahmans".

A true hero dares to start with fifty times the investment and casually remarkably make a hundred times the investment...

After the meeting, the handsome middle-aged man in charge of publicity looked bewildered: "Mr. Zhang, how can we cooperate with the publicity work like this? Your investments are too concentrated, almost all of them are in Chengdu."

"Nonsense, I've already had a report prepared on the 'necessity of building Chengdu into a regional central city,' and Chengdu will mainly be responsible for attracting investment from now on."

"What are you smoking?"

"It sucks blood."

"..."

Could it be that they want to follow the example of Jiangkou Province and develop their business in multiple locations?
What a joke! I don't have the ability; I can't learn even a little bit.

Only by absorbing the size of Chengdu can we narrow the gap, but not the gap in the scale of urban development, but the gap in household income.

After all, for ordinary people, where they go to work doesn't matter.

Going to Chengdu, a city with a large population, at least ensures that various supporting facilities can keep up while you're working.

As for what constitutes a supporting package...

This brings us to "Zhang An Education" and "Zhang An Health".

By the end of this year, "Zhang'an Health" will have its own independently operated private hospital, which may be able to compete with the emerging "Putian system" hospitals.

As for now, let Chengdu take the first step. If Chengdu doesn't take the first step, how can Jianghan (the region south of the Yangtze River) take the first step? How can Luzhou (another region in China) take the first step?

If no one smokes, how can Coach Zhang's business be further upgraded?
