Chapter 1204 Good Son-in-law
Leader Wang said earnestly, "Liang Cheng, don't be angry, this was unavoidable."
Liang Cheng laughed, "Boss, why would I be angry? This is a good thing, because more people will see the benefits and expand production. The country is so big, the market is huge, and it's not something that one beef jerky factory can monopolize."
Hearing this, Leader Wang breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. I thought you were unhappy. After all, you have a good relationship with Boss Yang, and he stole your business."
Liang Cheng disagreed, “Boss, Mr. Yang isn’t stingy. We advertise nationwide to build our brand. Naturally, the price will be higher, and the quality will be relatively better. Other factories can make beef jerky, but first of all, their names can’t be the same as Mr. Yang’s, nor can they be similar. In addition, beef jerky from our province is made with the reputation of our province, so we must pay attention to the raw materials and quality of these beef jerky factories.”
"If beef jerky made from inferior raw materials is put on the market, it will damage our own brand. When people hear that beef jerky is from our province, they will criticize it, which will be extremely detrimental to local development. Leaders, we must pay attention to this issue and not let our guard down."
Leader Wang nodded. "Liang Cheng, you're right, you make a lot of sense. Are there any new projects coming up?"
Liang Cheng thought for a moment, then said, "I recently heard that a jade mine has been discovered here, with a lot of Yu Tai Cui?"
Yu Tai Cui is actually a quartz rock jade. The white variety is mainly composed of dolomite (content exceeds 60%), while other colors are mainly composed of quartz (content exceeds 80%), with minor minerals including mica, calcite, etc. [7-9].
Jade has a Mohs hardness of 6-7, which is lower than jadeite but slightly higher than other jades. Its density is 2.65-2.85 g/cm³. It is translucent with a semi-greasy luster, and its basic colors include emerald green, white, cyan, and transitional colors. Among them, the green variety is classified as aventurine due to the presence of chromium mica.
"Yes, it was recently discovered, and the reserves are abundant," Leader Wang replied. "Many people are now pulling strings to prepare for mining. Liang Cheng, what are your thoughts on that?"
Liang Cheng thought for a moment and asked, "Boss, do you know about Dafu Jewelry?"
Leader Wang nodded, "Of course I know. My son's fiancée got engaged, and the three gold pieces, pearl necklace, earrings, and stuff like that were all bought from Dafu Jewelry. They're beautiful and affordable. What's up? Can you get Dafu Jewelry to work here?"
Liang Cheng smiled and said, "Dafu Jewelry deals in gold and silver, high-end jade and pearls. Our stones are not very valuable, so we can't go the high-end route, but we can go the low-end route. Dafu Jewelry also has a mid-to-low-end brand. We can attract investors to bring it over and then make it into beads, bracelets and ornaments to sell."
Leader Wang frowned. "I have no objection, but the local area... well, it's better to leave the mining to the locals, because there are more strange and unruly things to encounter when mining, and outsiders may not be able to handle it."
Liang Cheng pondered for a moment, "The leader is wise, your consideration is very correct. We can start mining, and then attract processing plants and distributors, but there is a problem we have to consider?"
Leader Wang asked, "What's the problem?"
Liang Cheng replied, "We can't sell this mine to just one company. Otherwise, once we finally manage to attract investors, the mine owner will raise the price on the spot. The investors won't make any money and will just leave."
Leader Wang's expression was grave. "Liang Cheng, what you said makes sense. So, how many companies do you think should be contracted out to for this mine?"
Liang Cheng thought for a moment, "We can't let one person make this money. We need to sell to at least five companies! Those who can do jade business are usually quite powerful. We should choose those that are not so bad to us, so that they won't monopolize prices in order to compete. We should compete fully according to market demand."
"Investors can purchase jade at reasonable prices here and make a profit, so they will continue to operate here. We also hire local people, providing employment and generating tax revenue for us!"
Leader Wang wholeheartedly agreed, "Liang Cheng, your suggestion is excellent! I'll have someone look into it later. We can't let them form a united front and drive up prices; in the end, it's the local people's interests that will be harmed!"
Liang Cheng laughed and said, "Maybe if we do it this way, we can sell this jade mine for an even higher price! The mine belongs to the state, and we can get some government revenue from selling it."
Leader Wang laughed heartily, “Of course! Only when the treasury has money can it invest more and create a virtuous cycle. If you can bring in investors, I’ll give you the credit.”
Liang Cheng nodded, "Boss, I'll do my best!"
I gave a report to several leaders, and it was already 4:30 pm by the time it was over.
Liang Cheng returned to his office, sat for a while, tidied himself up, and then had his bodyguard take him to Linghua's house.
Over there was the house allocated by Linghua's parents' work unit. When the people in the family compound saw a young man carrying large and small bags, they all talked about it, wondering whose relative he was.
When they saw Linghua come out to greet them, everyone suddenly realized why there was such an outstanding young man; he was Linghua's boyfriend.
Some of their colleagues also worked in government departments and recognized Liang Cheng as a local government leader. Considering the beef jerky factory that Linghua's family had invested in, they were all envious.
The beef jerky was indeed very good. Although locals still buy from established brands, they also wanted to try the beef jerky produced in the factory.
One bite at a time, easy to chew, well-packaged, I prefer to take this kind of beef jerky with me when I go out.
The allure of nationally renowned brands is immense, and they are recruiting agents in various regions, indicating a huge market demand.
Every day, many vehicles park at the factory gate, waiting for the beef jerky to be shipped out and then transported to be sold all over the country.
The news spread quickly throughout the residential compound that there was a famous singer's daughter and a government official's son-in-law living near Old Yang's house.
Aunt Xie and her husband returned from the factory. As soon as they entered the residential compound, a neighbor they recognized stopped them. "Linghua has such a good boyfriend, why don't you tell us and share your joy? By the way, where's your wedding candy?"
Aunt Xie was slightly taken aback when she heard this. Her daughter's boyfriend? How come she didn't know?
Although she could tell that Liang Cheng was pursuing her daughter, her daughter hadn't agreed yet.
Besides, Linghua is a celebrity, both big and small, and many people pursue her; it doesn't necessarily have to be Liang Cheng.
"Hehe, young people! It's different from our time. They're free to date, and we respect that! You're still a long way from getting married, but you'll get to enjoy wedding candy sooner or later!"
The neighbors looked on with envy. "What a wonderful son-in-law! I've heard that County Chief Liang is the youngest county-level leader in our county. He's brought a lot of investment to our area, and the industrial park is booming. My nephew even found a job there!"
