Super first-tier cities: Starting from village committee secretary

"He even offered me a cigarette at the end, saying he couldn't afford the expensive ones, so he just smokes the five-yuan Da Qianmen to get by."

Xiong Jingchun shook his head with a wry smile, and said slowly, "Son, let me give you a lesson today. The 'quiet place' he mentioned refers to a hotel. He meant for you to treat him to drinks and a meal. If you take good care of him, there won't be any problems with your application."

"And when he said he couldn't afford expensive cigarettes and just smokes the five-yuan Da Qianmen to get by, he meant for you to give him fifty thousand yuan, and he'll get the job done for you."

"Damn it!"

Xiong Xu was stunned by what he heard, and couldn't help but utter a curse.

He's still too young and inexperienced.

This time, he's learned something new.

"Don't you dare send him money, I'm telling you. Otherwise, he's done for, and you'll be done for too." Xiong Jingchun warned sternly, afraid that Xiong Xu would embark on a path of no return for the sake of the one million yuan interest-free loan.

"Your son isn't that stupid."

Xiong Xu would never bribe someone for a one million yuan interest-free loan. If this Li Chunfu falls, he'll definitely be in trouble. And since he has the system, his future is infinitely bright. If he gets arrested and goes to jail because of this, it would truly be picking up sesame seeds and losing a watermelon.

"Looks like I have to think of other ways to get this loan."

Although he didn't want to bribe anyone, Xiong Xu still wanted to try for this interest-free loan.

Because as long as he could get three hundred thousand, he could get one more mu of land. One mu of land has 20 cement ponds, and each cement pond can easily hold 1,000 bullfrogs, so 20 cement ponds would be 20,000.

At 3 jin each, and 12.7 yuan per jin, 20,000 bullfrogs would be 760,000 yuan.

Getting a 300,000 yuan interest-free loan would mean earning an extra 760,000 yuan in just two months. If he used this 760,000 yuan to expand the breeding base, then he could expand by another 3 mu, and in two months, that would be 2.2 million yuan in revenue.

The time limit for Task 1 and Task 2 is very tight. Earning a little more would make it easier to complete the tasks, and completing the tasks would allow him to obtain new technology, which he could then use to get rich.

"Just give up on that idea. Don't even think about it." Xiong Jingchun didn't think there was any other way to get the loan besides bribery.

"What kind of father are you? You don't help your son think of a solution, and you even undermine your son's confidence." Xiong Xu couldn't help but retort to Comrade Xiong Jingchun.

Xiong Jingchun was speechless.

"You two, stop chatting and come eat!"

Comrade Zhang Qin shouted from inside the house.

"Let's eat, let's eat."

Xiong Xu hadn't even eaten lunch. As soon as he heard that it was time to eat, his eyes lit up, and he quickly went inside to eat. Old Comrade Xiong Jingchun also followed closely behind.

....

It was a little after nine o'clock in the evening. Xiong Xu was lying on his small bed, staring intently at the ceiling, with a look of contemplation on his face.

Xiong Xu was thinking about how to get the interest-free loan.

Should he go directly to the town party secretary?

Speaking of the town party secretary, in Xiong Xu's impression, Shiganshi Town had always been managed by Li Chunfu. He didn't even know the town party secretary's name, as if he didn't exist.

Out of curiosity, Xiong Xu picked up his phone and checked the list of Shiganshi Town government personnel, and immediately found the town party secretary's name.

Zhang Wenjie!

Xiong Xu continued to investigate further, checking Zhang Wenjie's resume.

His experience was considered rich.

Zhang Wenjie, 34 years old this year, started working in 2009, serving as a staff member in the Le'an County Party Committee Office.

In 2012, he voluntarily applied to go to the village, serving as the village committee secretary of Jianshan Village, Wukou Town, Le'an County.

In 2017, after serving a full term, he became the deputy mayor of Zhongpu Town.

In May 2023, he was promoted to town party secretary of Shiganshi Town.

"It's June now, and he was transferred over in May. He's only been here for a month."

Xiong Xu had a rough understanding of the situation of Zhang Wenjie, the town party secretary of Shiganshi Town. Then, he checked Li Chunfu's resume and the previous government teams of Shiganshi Town.

After investigation, it was found that since Li Chunfu began serving as the town mayor in 2012, every town party secretary sent from above applied to be transferred away in less than two years. Some were transferred away in one year. The most outrageous was Zhang Wenjie's predecessor, who only stayed for five months before being transferred away.

One or two cases are coincidences, but five or six cases mean there must be something fishy going on.

Xiong Xu now had a guess that although Li Chunfu was not the top leader of Shiganshi Town, he relied on having someone behind him and his deeply rooted power in Shiganshi Town. His power in the town government was already equivalent to the town party secretary and the town mayor combined.

The town party secretaries who were transferred here left in such a hurry every time, most likely because their power was hollowed out and they couldn't accomplish anything in Shiganshi Town, so they all ran away quickly.

"Zhang Wenjie's days are not going to be easy."

Xiong Xu smiled faintly, and a plan was brewing in his heart....

The next day, June 15th!

Around nine o'clock in the morning, Changqi Cement Shop in the town and the sand and brick factories in Sanjiang Village successively sent truckloads of cement, sand, and red bricks in old agricultural transport vehicles.

After the materials arrived, Xiong Jingchun called Xiong Xu's second uncle, third uncle, eighth uncle, seventh grandfather, and third grandfather, several half-baked bricklayers, to the vegetable field at the foot of the mountain south of the village to start work.

Since the village roads were not passable, the transported sand, cement, and red bricks were placed at the entrance of the village in the north, while the construction site was in the south of the village. Therefore, Xiong Jingchun also called 25 men from the village to help carry the materials to the construction site, and at the same time help mix the cement.

Once the people were all there, they immediately started work, with a total of 30 people participating.

There was no salary, only lunch and dinner were provided. The requirements for lunch and dinner were only to have pork and beer.

Xiong Xu would naturally not be stingy with this little bit of money, and directly gave three thousand yuan to Comrade Zhang Qin, asking Comrade Zhang Qin to be responsible for buying vegetables, and then working with the second aunt and third aunt to cook.

When eating lunch, Xiong Xu asked his second uncle, Xiong Jingshan, how long it would take to complete the work. Xiong Jingshan said that with so many people helping, and the task not being complicated, it would be done in five days.

Xiong Xu had a rough idea in his mind. In the afternoon, considering that the water source in the south of the village was limited, and the bullfrogs needed to have their water changed every few days, the demand for water was very high. Therefore, he asked Comrade Xiong Jingchun to go to the town to find a well-drilling team to drill a well in the south of the village.

Comrade Xiong Jingchun's efficiency was good. The things he was told to do that day were arranged with the well-drilling team that day. It's just that the price was slightly more expensive.

Drilling a well in the town costs 2000-3000 yuan per well, while in Shanxiong Village, it costs 5000 yuan per well.

The well-drilling team gave the reason that Shanxiong Village was too remote, the fuel consumption was high, the road surface was not good, the car wear and tear was high, and the most important thing was that the geology of Shanxiong Village was a rock layer, which caused great wear and tear to the drill bit.

Xiong Xu also knew that the wells in Shanxiong Village were not easy to drill, so he agreed to 5,000 yuan for drilling a well.

June 16th, the second day of construction of the bullfrog breeding base.

On the morning of this day, Xiong Xu received feedback from the County Administration for Industry and Commerce that the company registration application had been approved, and he could come and get the business license and official seal in two days.
