Super first-tier cities: Starting from village committee secretary

As it stood, the breeding center hadn't earned a single penny, but had already spent tens of millions.

On August 1st, Xiong Xu placed an order on Pinduoduo, purchasing 1.5 million bullfrog tadpoles at 70 cents each, spending another 1.05 million.

Also on August 1st, Hongchang Construction Group finally completed the procedures for the residential project and officially began transporting construction machinery to Shan Xiong Village. Simultaneously, they started recruiting workers in Shan Xiong Village.

The wages at regular construction sites were quite high, starting at 300 yuan per day. Some skilled technicians earned even more, but Shan Xiong Village didn't have any skilled workers, so they could only provide general laborers.

With a wage of 300 yuan a day, all eligible men in Shan Xiong Village signed up, totaling 540 people. Thanks to the agreement between Xiong Xu and Hongchang Construction Group, Hongchang Construction Group accepted all the villagers who signed up from Shan Xiong Village.

For a typical residential project, 300-600 workers would be sufficient, but Xiong Xu had requested a tight construction schedule. To speed things up, Hongchang Construction Group planned to invest 1,500 workers in this project. After failing to recruit enough people in Shan Xiong Village, they went to Shigan Town to recruit more.

With a wage of 300 yuan a day, there was no shortage of people to recruit. People from the town and other villages came to sign up when they saw such high wages. Some even sought connections with the Shan Xiong Village Committee to work at the Shan Xiong Village construction site, which made Xiong Xu laugh and cry.

At the same time, Huatai Engineering Machinery Company also gave Xiong Xu a budget for blasting the mountain, which was 80 million yuan. It was estimated that 14 million cubic meters of rock would be blasted and removed, freeing up 300 acres of flat land after completion.

Xiong Xu had no problem and paid a 20 million yuan advance payment from the company account.

After receiving the advance payment, Huatai Engineering Machinery Company officially started blasting on August 4th!

On August 5th, Huanyu Intelligent Machine Company also designed a complete set of intelligent feed production equipment, priced at 9.6 million yuan. With sufficient raw materials, this equipment could produce 400,000 catties of feed per day.

Xiong Xu paid a 4.6 million yuan advance payment. Huanyu Intelligent Machine Company also started manufacturing the equipment after receiving the money, which was expected to be delivered in about a month.

On August 6th, the 1.5 million bullfrog tadpoles that Xiong Xu bought arrived one after another. It took 3 days to complete the release, and then 15 women were recruited from the village to feed the bullfrogs. The employee size of Shan Xiong Breeding Company thus reached 21 people.

The area and scale of the Shan Xiong Breeding Center also officially expanded to 100 acres, and the breeding scale also reached 2 million!

On August 8th, Hongchang Construction Group assembled its workers and machinery and chose this auspicious day to officially break ground. The residential area was located at the village entrance in the north of the village. Xiong Xu also attended the groundbreaking ceremony of the construction site.

With the official start of construction by Hongchang Construction Group, Shan Xiong Village was more lively than ever, with a constant hustle and bustle every day. The residential project was in the north of the village, and the blasting project was in the south.

The two projects together had 1,800 workers, of which more than 500 were locals, and the rest were from other villages.

Under Xiong Xu's leadership, the women of Shan Xiong Village seized this huge flow of people and jointly set up fast food stalls and cigarette and alcohol stalls at the entrances of the two project sites.

The business was very good, with a daily turnover of tens of thousands of yuan, and the income of the villagers also increased rapidly.

Shan Xiong Village presented a prosperous scene.

At 2:00 PM on August 10th, Xiong Xu received a call from Zhang Wenjie, the Party Secretary of the town, and was summoned to the Shigan Town Government without explanation.

Xiong Xu met Zhang Wenjie in the Party Secretary's office and asked as soon as they met:

"Secretary Zhang, what's the matter? I'm very busy every day now."

Since the breeding scale reached 2 million bullfrogs, Xiong Xu's time was very tight. 2 million bullfrogs had to eat 20,000 catties of feed a day. If Xiong Xu was slightly lazy, what he did in a day was not as much as what 2 million bullfrogs ate.

"You, the big boss, are still doing the work yourself?"

Zhang Wenjie said amusingly while handing Xiong Xu a cigarette.

Xiong Xu took the cigarette and smiled wryly: "Do you think I want to? But some things have to be done by myself to be at ease."

"Haha."

Zhang Wenjie smiled, and then asked with concern: "How is Shan Xiong Village doing now?"

"Thriving, the whole village has work to do, and they can earn money every day. We will definitely be able to get rid of the poverty label by the end of this year," Xiong Xu said with a smile.

In fact, Shan Xiong Village has now reached the standard for removing the poverty label. The men in the village earn nearly ten thousand yuan a month at the construction site, and the women set up stalls at the entrance of the construction site. Although the stalls are run jointly by the women in the village, everyone can still get six or seven thousand yuan a month.

Calculated in this way, each household in Shan Xiong Village has a monthly income of more than 10,000 yuan. If this cannot remove the poverty label, there are not many non-poor areas in the whole country.

"That's great." Zhang Wenjie was overjoyed when he heard this. He, the local chief, had the greatest credit for Shan Xiong Village removing the poverty label, and he could get a lot of points in the year-end assessment.

"What exactly did you call me here for? It's not just to ask about this, is it?" Xiong Xu leaned against the window, smoking a cigarette and asked.

"Why would I call you for such a trivial matter? It would be better to say it on the phone."

Zhang Wenjie took off the administrative jacket hanging on the wall, put it on, shook it, and tidied it up a bit. He beckoned to Xiong Xu and said: "Let's go, go to the county. It's a dinner party personally organized by the County Party Secretary."

"Dinner party?"

Xiong Xu was slightly stunned.

"This is a dinner party specially organized for you by the County Party Committee. Those attending the dinner party are agricultural suppliers from this county, this city, and even outside the city and province. Secretary Miao Ge spent a lot of effort to call them over."

"Secretary Miao Ge asked me to tell you to perform well at the dinner party and take them all down. As long as you take them down, we won't have to worry about finding a sales market for our bullfrogs."

"Tonight is a night of battle!" Zhang Wenjie said with a solemn expression, already mentally prepared to drink until he vomited today.

"So that's what this dinner party is about."

Xiong Xu suddenly realized. To be honest, he had been so busy with various things recently that he had almost forgotten that the bullfrogs had to be sold, and only cared about raising them.

Thinking about it carefully, the first batch of 80,000 bullfrogs was released in mid-June, and it has been almost two months now.

It has to be said that Secretary Miao Ge is really good at arranging things, and the timing is just right.

"Let's go quickly!" Zhang Wenjie opened the door and urged.

"GOGO!"

Xiong Xu immediately followed.

Before long, the two left the Shigan Town Government in a Mercedes-Benz G, heading to Le'an County. After arriving in Le'an County, they didn't rush to the hotel, but went to a cigarette and alcohol store to buy 20 bottles of Feitian Moutai and 2 boxes of mineral water. Then, they poured out the water and poured the wine into the mineral water bottles.

The inspections are strict now. There are standards for dinner parties organized by the government for local commercial activities, and if the suppliers are entertained according to the standards, they will frown.
