First Secretary of Rebirth

"Mayor He, look, this is our pearl trading market in Zhongjiang." Liu Yu introduced it proudly while standing in front of a large trading market.

He Chaoyang nodded, looking at the big market in front of him, his face was very calm, and he didn't seem to be overwhelmed by the huge market in front of him.

"Let's go in and take a look?" Liu Yu glanced at him and said to himself that the new mayor is really calm. When looking at such a big market, people's eyes will flash with admiration.

Zhongjiang's artificial pearl cultivation was driven by the old secretary, and it is also the pillar industry of Zhongjiang Town. It is true that one-third of the country's pearl demand is supplied by Zhongjiang Town.This is not only a topic that Zhongjiang people like to talk about, but also an important achievement of the old secretary.

Under Liu Yu's guidance, the two entered the hall, and saw rows of booths filled with large and small white pearls. Under Liu Yu's guidance, He Chaoyang walked over step by step, carefully observe.

There are many merchants who come to Zhongjiang to buy goods. Customers from all over the world not only come to purchase Zhongjiang's pearls, but also drive the local service industry.

Of course, with the development of the pearl industry, some aquaculture in Zhongjiang has also started. With pearl processing and some aquatic products processing, the people of Zhongjiang are getting richer and richer.

The market is very big. Two people went from the first floor to the second floor. The second floor is no longer a booth but a special counter separated by a glass wall. The decoration and pearl quality have been upgraded to a higher level. Many of them are processed into jewelry for sale. of.

There are fewer buyers on this floor than on the first floor, but according to Liu Yu, the transaction volume on the second floor is much larger than that on the first floor. The added value of pearls made into jewelry or other accessories is much stronger than that of bare pearls.

"The mayor can buy some jewelry for his family." Liu Yu joked, "I can find a store I know and help you get the lowest price."

"Let's take a look first." He Chaoyang smiled.Although these pearls are beautiful, Ling Wei doesn't necessarily like them.He watched while walking, and asked Liu Yu for some data from time to time.

As the questions deepened, Liu Yu's perception of the young mayor gradually changed. This person asked questions to the point. Judging from his level, he was not as simple as a young man who just got out of the office.

"Director Liu, we have roughly seen the market." He Chaoyang smiled and said, "If you have time, can you take me to the pearl breeding base?"

"Okay." Liu Yu naturally agreed, but looking at the time, he turned around and said: "Mayor, it's almost noon, let me arrange a place for you to eat first."

"Look at me, I've forgotten the time." He Chaoyang smiled and said, "There's no need to find a place to arrange it. I see a restaurant in front of it. Let's go there and eat."

The place He Chaoyang pointed at was a restaurant, and it looked quite clean.

Liu Yu dared not follow the mayor's words. The two of them walked a few steps and entered the restaurant.

Not long after He Chaoyang came to Zhongjiang, he was not afraid of being recognized, so he followed the waiter to a seat by the window and sat down.Liu Yu sat across from him a little awkwardly.

"What would Director Liu want to eat?" He Chaoyang handed over the menu.

Liu Yu hurriedly smiled and said, "I'm not jealous, so come the mayor."

"You are old Zhongjiang, come and order some special dishes." He Chaoyang put the menu in front of him, and said, "Let's not waste it, two people, three dishes, and drinks."

"Okay." Liu Yu was a little speechless when he took the menu, seeing that the new mayor drove a pretty good car, why is he so stingy after a meal?

Take the cadres of Zhongjiang as an example, two people have to order at least six dishes for a meal, six or six are smooth.But he didn't know that the Ling family and the He family didn't have a tradition of wasting food. He Chaoyang grew up with Elder He. He was an old revolutionary. Although he was in a high position, he never let his family waste food at the dinner table.

The dishes came out quickly, and the soup is also a local old soup.

The two chatted while eating, and the atmosphere was quite lively. He Chaoyang had just arrived, and there was no suitable driver or follower for him yet.Liu Yu recommended two to him, but one looked a little slippery, and the other was from the Yan family background, so He Chaoyang simply chose to drive by himself. Anyway, the mayor, it's normal to have no driver and secretary.

"Hey, let me tell you, that girl was very exciting last night!" They were eating here, and the wine bottles on the table next to them were knocked down one by one, and the sound became louder and louder. As the atmosphere on the wine table rose, The topic also gradually brought out the color.

He Chaoyang turned his head to look, and found that the person who said this was a middle-aged man in his forties, his face was flushed, and two strands of hair were floating horizontally on the top of his bald head. He looked a little funny.

"Brother Zhou, where did you go last night?" a man with a thin face asked.

"Where else can I go?" Another person laughed and said, "I think Brother Zhou went to the White Swan last night."

The middle-aged man surnamed Zhou laughed and said, "Don't tell me, the service of White Swan is good, and the lady is more beautiful than other places!"

"I heard that White Swan is the largest nightclub in Zhongjiang?"

"Of course, that place is..." The man surnamed Zhou didn't finish his sentence, but pointed to the sky with his finger, "I heard that the second child of that family opened it."

"Whose family?"

The man surnamed Zhou stared at his long and thin face, and said, "Why don't you even know Zhongjiang's No. [-] family?"

"You mean..." The long and thin face paused, looked around cautiously, and said in a low voice, "The Yan family?"

The man surnamed Zhou and the other accompanying guest laughed, and the man surnamed Zhou even gave his long and thin face a thumbs up.

"White swan?" Those people started to discuss which lady's skill is better, He Zhaoyang turned his face, smiled at Liu Yu and said, "Is this family famous?"

When Liu Yu heard the man surnamed Zhou mentioning the white swan, his face was a little ugly, but he couldn't say much because of He Chaoyang's presence, but he didn't expect that the mayor Xiao He not only pretended not to hear, but also asked with great interest. said a word.

"It's a pretty big hotel in the town." Liu Yu said lightly.

"Then take some time to take me to see and see?" He Chaoyang joked.

Liu Yu choked on a mouthful of vegetables, neither spit nor swallowed, and stared at He Chaoyang.

"Haha, I'm joking."

Liu Yu finally swallowed the food, and said to Mayor He, Mayor He, that place is not something anyone can go to.

As if he didn't know what Liu Yu was thinking, He Chaoyang finished his lunch without changing his expression.

"Let's go, let's go to the bead field."

"Okay." Liu Yu said with a smile: "The bead field is a bit far away, please excuse the mayor."

He Chaoyang waved his hands and went on his way.

The scale of pearl cultivation in Zhongjiang Town is very large. At a glance, there are densely packed floats hanging in the sea, and under each float are pearl mussels that hide pearls.

Some rare pearls are raised in the open sea, but Liu Yu has no plan to arrange for He Chaoyang to board the boat today.

"Mayor, look, this is our largest pearl breeding base in Zhongjiang." Liu Yu pointed to the pearl field that could not be seen at a glance, his face was full of pride.

"It's spectacular." He Chaoyang looked at it from a distance, and couldn't help but be shocked by this bead field.

But apart from the shock, there was also deep worry.Judging from the scale of Zhongjiang's cultivation, in a few years, not only the production of pearls here will decline, but the quality will also be much worse than before.In another ten to 15 years, Zhongjiang's pearl industry has almost become history.

This is not He Chaoyang's scaremongering, but a real memory.

Choosing to come to Zhongjiang, the first is to be entrusted by the Li family to come to Zhongjiang to find out.Li Jun's desk accumulated a lot of materials to sue the Yan family and his son, but due to Yan Keji's prestige, these materials were all suppressed.Second, He Chaoyang really wanted to do something for Zhong Jiang.

Although Zhongjiang's pearl farming scale is large, there is no method at all. In order to maximize profits, Zhongjiang people have overdrawn their resources for the next few years.If there is no way to stop these almost crazy expansions, Zhongjiang Pearl will eventually disappear on the pearl map one day in the future.

However, it is not easy to challenge the Yan family's starting business.

"Mayor He, do you want to go down and have a look?" Liu Yu pointed to the boat on the shore.

The owner of the bead field is the head of the Yan family. After hearing Liu Yu's introduction, he did not neglect, but his face was full of color, and he kept showing off the scale of his bead field and the density of pearl oysters.

He Zhaoyang just laughed when he heard this. People in Zhongjiang are too eager for quick success. Taking the most precious Tahitian pearls as an example, the cultivation density of Tahitian pearls is almost only one-third of that of Zhongjiang pearls, and the cultivation cycle is also long, and they will be special. Pay attention to the maintenance of water quality.

Looking at the pearl field in front of me, the density of pearl oysters is close to the maximum density of pearl cultivation, and the water quality is not good. The number of such pearls may be guaranteed, but it is difficult to produce high-quality pearls.

The worry in He Chaoyang's eyes was naturally unknown to Liu Yu and the owner of Zhuchang. They took He Chaoyang aboard the boat and scooped up one or two big clams to open He Chaoyang's horizons.

"What are you thinking?" At night, it was a routine phone call.

He Zhaoyang lost his mind when calling Ling Wei, which is very rare, so Ling Wei couldn't help but become curious.Could it be that He Chaoyang had a new idea just after two days away?

"I'm thinking of pearls."

Ling Wei nodded, Zhongjiang's pearls are famous, but I don't know what He Chaoyang wants to do with the pearls?

"The Yan family started with pearls, what do you mix in?"

After hearing this, He Zhaoyang smiled proudly and said, "I'm going to snatch the Yan family's bead field and give it to you as a betrothal gift!"

"Betroth gift?" Ling Wei was also happy, "Isn't it a dowry?"

"You can think that way." He Chaoyang said with a smile, "Anyway, what's mine is yours, and what's yours is mine. We're going to be with each other!"

After hearing these shameless words, Mayor Ling was very speechless. He was thicker than others, and he would not succeed unless he surrendered.

"Seriously, what happened to Zhong Jiang's pearl?"

He Chaoyang told Ling Wei about his thoughts on Zhongjiang Pearl, and after hearing his opinion, Ling Wei also fell silent.

"Daughter-in-law, what do you think of my thoughts?"

"Uh, how do you say something?" Mayor Ling frowned, "The ideal is full, but the reality is skinny? Your thinking is right, you can't overdraw tomorrow's resources just to pursue today's money, but Pearl cultivation is the foundation of the Yan family, if you are not sure, you'd better be safe first."

"Look at what you said, your husband is not such a reckless person!" While speaking, He Chaoyang opened the window. He lives on the third floor, and the cool night breeze blows in. He can see the bright moon outside the window when he looks up.

"Yan Keji is not easy to deal with, so be careful." Ling Wei warned.

"I see, thank you Lord Mayor for your guidance." The bright moon outside the window aroused the lover's sorrow of parting, "Daughter-in-law, come to the window."

"What are you doing?" Ling Wei sat up from the bed and came to the window.

"The moon is so round tonight!"

"Ah."

"Don't you want to do something?"

The sweet love between the two has just begun, when the spoiler comes.Just when He Chaoyang coaxed Ling Wei to do something, there was a sudden commotion downstairs.

"Help! Killer!" A short and fat man ran from the other side of the street while shouting for help.

He Zhaoyang's eyes were fixed, and he saw that several young people with sticks and machetes in their hands had chased after him.

"I hung up beforehand!" He Chaoyang hung up the phone and went out.

When he arrived at the gate, the middle-aged man was blocked across the street with his head bleeding.

Seeing that Manager Yu had already caught up, He Zhaoyang slowed down, touched his pocket, and said to Manager Yu, "Old Yu, is there a place that sells cigarettes nearby?"

"Ah?" Manager Yu was taken aback. There was an armed brawl on the other side of the street, and the boss went downstairs immediately. It is obviously impossible to say that he didn't see it, but judging by his posture, It doesn't seem to be for this matter.

"Do you want to buy cigarettes? Our hotel has them." Manager Yu quickly realized.

"I checked, but there is no brand I smoke." He Chaoyang put his hands in his pockets and said with a smile, "Is there a supermarket nearby?"

"Yes, you can go there yourself, if you have something to do, just let Xiao Liu go."

"No, I was going for a walk."

After asking the address of the supermarket, He Chaoyang strolled outside. When he got outside, his eyes rolled slightly, and he quickly saw the man who was beaten badly.

This person was bleeding from the brow bone just now, his clothes were torn, and he was very embarrassed.

Seeing that there were too many onlookers, the young men took out all the money from the man's pockets and patched up his feet, and then walked away with a stick and a machete in their hands.

He Chaoyang didn't step forward when he saw the excitement, because he didn't know if Manager Yu was still watching him.

The man curled up on the ground, moaned for a while, and then stood up tremblingly.

When the blood on his brow was wiped away, He Chaoyang was slightly stunned. This person seemed familiar?
