Super first-tier cities: Starting from village committee secretary

Xiong Xu felt pleasantly surprised, not expecting foreigners to join in the fun.

“I remember foreigners don’t like bullfrogs, right?” Xiong Xu asked curiously.

Xiong Xu remembered very clearly that bullfrogs were rampant in some European and American countries, and no one ate them.

“Looks like you haven’t thought about entering the international market. You haven’t done any research. Little Xiong, think bigger. Don’t just think about making money from us Chinese; you need to earn the foreigners’ money.”

“You can check. Foreigners don’t eat bullfrogs because bullfrog meat isn’t elastic and sticks to the teeth. But the Mountain Bear bullfrog is elastic, and most importantly, it can be eaten as sashimi. Foreigners love these strong flavors.”

Secretary Miao Ge had done more homework than Xiong Xu.

Actually, the main reason was that when Secretary Miao Ge learned that foreign companies were also participating in the bidding, he was just as puzzled as Xiong Xu, so he asked the foreign companies and learned the reason.

“Sashimi…”

Xiong Xu was slightly stunned. Thinking about it, the freshness of Mountain Bear bullfrogs wasn’t much worse than seafood. Because they were raised on Chinese herbal medicine, there were almost no parasites. They could indeed be eaten as sashimi, which suited the foreigners’ tastes.

“Secretary Miao is right in his criticism. I need to think bigger. This time, we’re going to make a fortune!”

Xiong Xu couldn’t close his mouth from smiling.

This time, selling the agency rights was conservatively estimated to earn three to four hundred million.

“So you need to prepare in advance, not only to auction off the agency rights for Mountain Bear bullfrogs in our country, but also in other countries.”

“The municipal and provincial party committees attach great importance to this auction. Secretary Xu of the municipal party committee will also come in person.”

“In short, perform well. I hope the Mountain Bear Breeding Company can achieve significant gains in this auction.”

Secretary Miao Ge repeatedly instructed on the phone.

“Okay, okay, I understand.”

Learning that Secretary Xu of the municipal party committee was coming, Xiong Xu couldn’t help but feel a little nervous.

After all, the biggest official he had ever met in his life was Secretary Miao Ge of the county party committee.

Secretary Miao Ge had nothing else to say and quickly hung up the phone. Xiong Xu also began to think about whether to auction off the foreign agency rights for Mountain Bear bullfrogs by country or by state, province, or even the western or eastern regions of a certain country, and so on.

“Ding-dong!”

A text message notification sounded on his phone.

Xiong Xu glanced at it. It was from BOSS Zhipin [a Chinese recruitment platform].

【You have received a resume!】

Wuhu! [an exclamation of excitement]

It had been three days since the job posting was uploaded, and finally, a resume had arrived!

Xiong Xu was somewhat excited. Although the salary for the posted job was very high, no one had submitted a resume these days, probably because they couldn’t accept working in the village.

After all, the countryside isn’t the city, and some hard conditions can’t be compared, such as safety.

Xiong Xu clicked in to view the resume and found that the position applied for was professional manager.

【Name: Sun Zecheng】

【Gender: Male】

【Hobbies: Women, especially beautiful women, but refuses to be Cao Mengde [a historical figure known for his lustful behavior]】

【Age: 33 years old】

【Native Place: Honggutan District, Hongchang City, Jiangnan Province】

【Education: Postgraduate of Business Administration, Zhejiang East University】

【Work Experience: Served as the leader of Group A in the Administration Department of Zhongjing Trading Company, with a total of 6 years of work experience; Served as the Deputy General Manager of the Business Department of Modu Keda Foreign Trade, with a total of 6 years of work experience; Served as the Vice President of Hongchang Daerbu Trading Company, with a total of 7 years of work experience; Served as the Business Department Manager of China Petroleum Hongchang Branch, with a total of 1 year of work experience】

After reading this resume, Xiong Xu was a little silent.

33 years old, but he has 20 years of work experience!

How did he do it?

Did he graduate at the age of 13, a legendary child prodigy?

Xiong Xu couldn’t help but be curious, so he sent a message in the BOSS Zhipin backend to ask if he had graduated at the age of 13, otherwise how could he have 20 years of work experience.

Sun Zecheng: 【From working overtime. An ordinary person normally works 8 hours a day; I work 16 or even 18 hours a day.】

Seeing this reply, Xiong Xu laughed.

What an interesting person.

Sun Zecheng successfully aroused Xiong Xu’s interest in him, and he continued to type and ask: 【Where are you now?】

Sun Zecheng: 【Hongchang City. I haven’t resigned yet. Is my resume okay?】

Xiong Xu: 【Tomorrow at 3 PM at the coffee shop in front of the Education Bureau, don’t leave before we meet】

He was going to Hongchang City tomorrow anyway, so it would be just right to meet this Sun Zecheng. If they talked well, it would be him.

Next, Xiong Xu and Sun Zecheng exchanged WeChat contacts and agreed to meet at the coffee shop in front of the Education Bureau at 3 PM tomorrow.

After doing these things, Xiong Xu went to sleep.

He hadn’t slept well for a single day during these days of being cyberbullied, so he had to catch up on sleep.

At 7:30 AM the next morning, Xiong Xu had breakfast and then went to the village’s southern mountain blasting site to see the progress of leveling the mountain.

The progress of leveling the mountain wasn’t very fast. So far, only 2 hillocks had been leveled, freeing up twenty-odd acres of land.

But twenty-odd acres was enough. After leaving the blasting site, Xiong Xu found his old man, Xiong Jingchun, and asked him to recruit people in the village, buy cement, sand, and stone bricks, pave the cleared flat ground with cement, and build cement ponds for a new round of expansion.

As long as they could expand by 20 acres, the breeding scale could increase to 400,000 bullfrogs, about 1.2 million jin [600,000 kg].

After explaining the matter, Xiong Xu drove his Mercedes-Benz G500 away from Mountain Bear Village and embarked on the road to Hongchang City.

Since going to Hongchang City passed through Lean County, Xiong Xu went to the county government to visit Secretary Miao Ge and express his gratitude in person for the Double-Edged Sword Plan.

Xiong Xu also prepared some gifts, but Secretary Miao Ge didn’t accept any of them and even reprimanded Xiong Xu.

Secretary Miao Ge criticized: “The logic of giving gifts for doing something practical is the root cause of unhealthy practices. It is our duty to serve the people. Don’t do this again in the future.”

Xiong Xu took the criticism and slipped away with the gifts, embarking on the road to Hongchang City again.

At 12 PM, Xiong Xu arrived in Hongchang City and came to the coffee shop in front of the Education Bureau.

Comrade Lin Yuanqing happened to be off work, and Xiong Xu asked her out.

“Idiot!”

As soon as they met, Comrade Lin Yuanqing cursed unhappily.

“Oh, come on, I'm a man, try to understand.”

Xiong Xu said with a cheeky smile.

Lin Yuanqing sat down opposite Xiong Xu, ignored Xiong Xu, scanned the code with her phone, and ordered two glasses of plain water and a serving of spaghetti.

“Didn’t I tell you to leave at noon? How did you get here at noon? Doesn’t it delay company matters?” Lin Yuanqing asked casually.

“I’ve arranged to interview someone, to find myself a capable helper.”

“Hello, two glasses of plain water and spaghetti.”

The serving speed was very fast. The waiter brought two glasses of plain water and a serving of spaghetti.

Comrade Lin Yuanqing politely said thank you and then started eating with chopsticks. Comrade Lin Yuanqing didn’t like to eat spaghetti with a knife and fork. She always used chopsticks, saying it was more convenient.
