under the foggy mountain

Chapter 7

After Yuan Guishan finished his meal, he drank a cup of tea, checked the time, and greeted Liu Meihui. Some golden osmanthus flowers are already blooming on the big osmanthus tree beside.He hurriedly walked down the steps, out of the yard, and walked downstream along the embankment road in front of the door for half a mile, and arrived at the paper factory.Seven years ago, he, his brother-in-law He Yihai, his neighbor Zuo Dongming and others jointly built this paper mill named "Qianjin".

Yuan Guishan walked into the office of the paper factory, and saw He Yihai wiping the desk with a rag, and there was a thick layer of dust on the desk.

Seeing Yuan Guishan come in, He Yihai smiled and said, "Brother Shan, look, the dust is so thick."

"I haven't come in for more than a month. It's strange that there is no dust on it." Yuan Guishan said, paused and asked again, "Dongming hasn't come yet?"

He Yihai said: "I didn't see it, so it probably hasn't come yet."

Yuan Guishan said: "I just received the notice that there is a meeting at nine o'clock in the town, and I have to go to the meeting. Our shareholder meeting will not be held today."

After the heavy rain two days earlier, the Qingjiang River, which was almost dry, was half full of water. Yuan Guishan was going to hold a shareholders' meeting to discuss production and the return of payment.

He Yihai asked in surprise: "There is no meeting? Will the production continue?"

Yuan Guishan said: "There is so much water in the Qingjiang River, why not do it? Boss Yu will deliver the paper in the afternoon. Dongming is here, and you want him to prepare a payment of 3 yuan. I promise Boss Yu that this time it will be cash on hand."

Boss Yu is the owner of the largest waste paper purchase station in the county and the raw material supplier of Jinjin Paper Mill.

He Yihai nodded in agreement.

At this moment, a car horn sounded outside, and Yuan Wuhua arrived by car.

Yuan Guishan came out with his bag, got into the car, and asked, "Has the notice been delivered?"

Yuan Wuhua said: "It's delivered. When I went, Mr. Sun just came back from outside."

Yuan Guishan said: "Well, that's good. Let's go."

Before the words were finished, Yuan Wuhua stomped on the accelerator, and the car roared forward. Yuan Guishan felt the person leaning back, and there was a strong force pushing from behind, and he quickly shouted: "You drive so fast! What, there are still twenty minutes until nine o'clock."

"Grandpa, you can rest assured." Yuan Wuhua said with a smile, "hehe", and turned his head to look at Yuan Guishan, "Grandpa, Weiming said, it's his grandpa's birthday today."

Yuan Guishan said, "I know."

"Master, you know Secretary Zhou's birthday!" Yuan Wuhua was a little surprised, and turned his head to look at Yuan Guishan, "Wei Ming said that no outsiders are invited, but the two of them have a meal together."

Yuan Guishan said loudly: "Drive better! Don't worry about other things!"

The car was driving very fast, with the sound of wind blowing all the way, Yuan Guishan grabbed the armrest on the door with all his strength, and looked ahead nervously.When turning a corner, a motorcycle suddenly came in front of him, Yuan Guishan's heart was raised in his throat, and he closed his eyes in fright.

Wuhua smiled: "Master, it's okay."

Yuan Guishan scolded: "Slow down!"

Wuhua didn't mean to slow down at all, and said, "Master, relax."

Yuan Guishan yelled several times, but it didn't work, so he fell silent and sighed softly.He knew in his heart that Wuhua's character was cultivated by him and his family.Yuan Wuhua is the youngest in the family, and has four older sisters. Since he was a child, Yuan Guishan and his family have been used to him.

In a blink of an eye, he arrived at the Huangqiao Town Government. Yuan Guishan got out of the car, leaned on the car door and looked down at Wuhua, saying, "Do you remember what I told you in the morning? You are free, go and press for the payment!"

Yuan Wuhua said: "I'll go later."

After hearing this, Yuan Guishan lowered his head to look at Yuan Wuhua, closed the car door and walked towards the venue. After walking a few steps, he saw Sun Chengye's car entering the gate of the town government, driving over quickly, and stopped in front of him .

Sun Chengye opened the car door and got out, greeted with a smile: "Good morning, Secretary Yuan."

Yuan Guishan nodded with a smile and replied, "Mr. Sun, you are too early!"

After Sun Chengye came over, the two walked towards the venue while chatting.

"Mr. Sun, today is Secretary Zhou's 70th birthday. Will he celebrate his birthday?"

"It seems not, Secretary Zhou disagrees."

Yuan Guishan said with a smile: "Secretary Zhou, just let it go! People in Wanli usually have to celebrate when they are 70 years old, and make birthday wine in a beautiful way. If you don't do it, other people will meet you." Talk about jokes for future generations!"

Sun Chengye looked at Yuan Guishan and said with a smile: "To be honest, I like Secretary Zhou like this! It would be nice for the whole family to sit together and have a meal happily. Why use such a false name! I wanted to go to Secretary Zhou's house early to accompany him. He didn't expect to have a meeting today. Secretary Yuan, this meeting won't last too long, will it?"

Yuan Guishan said with a smile: "I don't know, probably not for a long time. If the time is long, you can ask for leave and leave early."

Sun Chengye smiled and said, "I think so too."

Not long after the two arrived at the meeting place, the meeting began. Secretary Liu presided over it, and Jiang Huaimin, the deputy mayor in charge, made a report.Sun Chengye listened for a while, and it turned out that it was to meet the supervision of the county's environmental protection work.The town government requires all paper mills not to produce any more from now on until the inspection is over.All villages and paper industry associations must earnestly implement the work. In the next few days, the government will organize special personnel to inspect paper mills in various villages.When Sun Chengye heard this, he turned his head and whispered a few words to Yuan Guishan, got up and left the venue.

A week ago, Sun Chengye had just finished the production and sales meeting in the factory, and Zhou Weiming brought his brother Zhou Changming here.Zhou Changming seldom came to Sun's Paper. Sun Chengye smiled and said "rare customers" and took Zhou Changming's hand to the office to sit down.After Zhou Changming came in, he explained the purpose of his visit. It turned out that his father Zhou Yunyi’s 70th birthday will be in a few days. The two brothers wanted to hold a grand birthday banquet for their father, but the father disagreed. The two had worked for a long time and did not change. Because of his father's attitude, he had no choice but to come here, and wanted to ask Sun Chengye to help persuade him.

Sun Chengye immediately agreed.Over the years, Sun Chengye has always been grateful to Zhou Yunyi. The scale and performance of Sun's Paper Industry today are inseparable from Zhou Yunyi's support and help.However, he understood Zhou Yunyi's character, and trying to persuade him might not change Zhou Yunyi's mind, so he called his wife Liu Liping, and they came to Zhou Yunyi's house together.Zhou Yunyi was still firm at the beginning, but later he couldn't stand the persuasion of his in-laws and his wife, so he let go and promised to celebrate his birthday, but only for the two families, and no outsiders were invited.Seeing this situation, Sun Chengye knew that it was useless to say more, so he asked Zhou Changming to agree.

Eleven years ago, the county paper mill was closed. After more than half a year of doing nothing, Sun Chengye was called back to his hometown in Jiangwan by his father Sun Yiming, who asked him to return to his hometown to open a paper mill.His father told him that Zhou Yunyi, the party secretary of Wushan Village, entrusted him to make this request. Zhou Yunyi was indebted to the Sun family and could not refuse.

As the deputy director of the county paper mill in charge of sales, Sun Chengye knew that starting a paper mill is no small task. Personnel, capital, technology, and the market are all indispensable. More importantly, the problem of sewage discharge from the paper mill must be solved, which is also the reason for the closure of the county paper mill. reason.He immediately rejected his father's request, but his father ignored him and called party secretary Zhou Yunyi and village director Yuan Guishan, who led him to the Wushan Lime Factory.

Sun Chengye was immediately attracted by the location and topography of the lime plant.It is only two miles away from Zhangshuwan, and you can enter the lime factory along the road from Zhangshuwan to Wushan.The lime factory has a rare open land in the foggy mountains. Four dilapidated factory sheds stand at the foot of the mountain on the right side. The front lawn of the factory sheds is flat and wide. There are ponds of different sizes and heights, the lowest pond is the largest, and further ahead is a small river called Qinxi, which flows continuously all year round.Zhou Yunyi told him that this lime factory was built in the period of the Republic of China. Because of its good quality, the whole Huangqiao area came here to buy lime. The lime factory was at its best in the 70s and [-]s, but then it went from bad to worse. It gradually became like this. .Zhou Yunyi pointed to the ponds in the distance and told him that these ponds were the original quarry pits, and the biggest quarry pit was so big and deep that people would feel dizzy standing beside it.

At that time, Sun Chengye felt that this was a good place to build a paper mill, and he was very excited.From the moment the county paper mill closed, he has been looking for a suitable place to build the mill. He is not willing to just stay at home like this, nor is he willing to engage in a job he is not familiar with.He has worked in the county paper mill for 20 years. He started as a technician and later went into supply and marketing. He knows both the technology and the market by heart.He remained calm and proposed to visit Qinxi. After learning about the perennial water volume of Qinxi and the surrounding ecological conditions, he made up his mind to build a factory here.

The construction process of the paper mill was very smooth. Sun Chengye recruited some business backbones of the county paper mill to solve the problems of capital, technology, sewage treatment and discharge. Zhou Yunyi solved the problem of land use in the form of an overall investment in the lime factory, and arranged for Yuan Guishan to stay in the factory Coordinating and handling the relationship between the factory and the company. In less than half a year, the paper factory was completed.After the working group jointly established by several departments in the county passed the inspection and issued a production license, it was put into production. The paper product market was very good that year, and good profits were obtained.From its completion to the present, the paper mill has been booming in both production and sales.
