"Madam, it has been more than ten years since the agricultural machinery factory you asked me to check closed down. During this period, there was a farm product operation base built here, but it closed down two years ago. You see, the rusty movable house panels piled there were left behind after the base was demolished. As for these abandoned plants, they should belong to the former agricultural machinery factory." Tom said, puzzled, "Ma'am, do you want to buy this land? But we are not here to invest in Hengtian scenic area this time? The scenic spots have been bought by others, so it's meaningless to buy this land, isn't it? "
"Who told you I wanted to buy this land?" Lady Catherine took a look at Tom and said, "Tom, you seem to have said a lot today?"
Tom was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat and bowed, "I'm sorry, madam... I'm just curious..."
"You just wonder why Lady Catherine, who is always ready for her trip, is so confused this time that she decided to invest in Yong'an County temporarily and didn't give you any time to investigate in advance, right?" Lady Catherine sneered, "Tom, you don't understand... This man, no matter how he plans, will be influenced by his feelings one day. When I come to Yongan County, I say it's investment, but it's not. You want to come here and have a look at the scenery, don't you think? "
"Ma'am is joking. Of course, of course." Tom wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and nodded hastily. In fact, he didn't understand what Catherine had just said, but all he knew was that Mrs. Catherine was dissatisfied with his talkativeness, and now the most urgent thing was to shut up.
"I asked you to investigate the information of the farm machinery factory. Did you investigate?" Lady Catherine turned to look at him and said in a faint voice, "show me."
"Oh, it's here. Have a look." Tom respectfully took out a stack of information from his wallet and handed it to Catherine, who took it and looked at it carefully.
"Madam, these materials are all obtained from the archives in the town. When those cadres in the town heard that our company was interested in this abandoned land, they showed great enthusiasm and cooperation. They took the initiative to take me to the archives to obtain the materials. Otherwise, I'm afraid it's really hard to get them." Tom said that, seeing that Catherine was still looking at the information carefully, he would not make a sound and stood behind her quietly waiting.
Mrs. Catherine looked at these materials, most of which were about the scale and changes of the farm machinery factory, but this was not her relationship. When she began to be impatient and kept turning the materials page by page, she finally fixed her eyes on a table. After watching it for a long time, Mrs. Catherine laughed and murmured to herself, "I didn't expect that you would become the factory director later. At last, you were transferred to a large enterprise like Yong'an jade factory to be the leader. It seems that your family life should be very good, so I can rest assured."
don 't worry? Don't worry about what? Tom is a master of Chinese, and he is proficient in Chinese. Although Catherine only murmured to herself from the corner of her mouth, she was clearly heard by him. But what puzzled him completely was how strange Mrs. Catherine, who had always been aggressive, was today, especially now, as if she was chatting with someone. Who is the person in her mouth?
Tom was very curious, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions. After all, he also deeply understood that the more secrets he knew, the less his subordinates would live long.
"Ma'am... Well, what shall we do next?" After waiting for more than ten minutes, Tom could not help reminding Mrs. Catherine that she was still standing in the same place.
Lady Catherine took a look at him and handed the information back to Tom. She turned around and walked towards the golden Rolls Royce not far away. She said, "now let's go to Yong'an county."
To Yongan county? Didn't you come from there before? Why are you going again? Tom was stunned for no reason, but he soon realized that he was in a hurry to chase Catherine to the car.

"Uncle, how long has your fruit shop been open?" Xiao Qiang took a bite of the banana he had just bought and stood in a fruit shop in Yongle Town. He said to the boss, "is it good to open a shop in this town?"
The boss said with a smile as he worked, "it's OK. There are not many local people in the town. They are all foreign bosses. They like to eat fruit and their business is OK."
"Oh, are all the bosses here to collect jade?" Xiao Qiang said with a smile, "I heard that jade here is very cheap, and I want to try my luck."
"You? Young man, this collection of jade is not something that ordinary people can play with. It's not good without family background. " The boss took a look at Xiao Qiang and thought that he was so young and obviously didn't believe it. But after thinking about it, he said in a low voice, "young man, the owners who come here to collect jade are all old customers. Generally, the newcomers who don't know how to make money are very difficult."
"Oh? Is there anything else in it? " Xiao Qiang asked.
"Hey, it's easy to say and difficult to say. The key lies in the way." The boss continued, "young man, for the sake of your forthright shopping, my uncle reminds you that in Yongle Town, there is no way. Don't take the risk to collect any jade. It's too risky. You don't think it's easy to collect jade. The water in it is very deep. "
The more Xiao Qiang listened, the more interesting he felt. He took out a hundred yuan note and said, "uncle, you see I'm new here and I don't understand anything. In this way, I'll give you a tip. How can you tell me? You see, your fruit shop is in the center of the town, and the decoration is very old. Should you live here for a long time? I'm sure I know the routine. "
"For me?" As soon as the boss saw that money could still be dropped from the sky, he was so happy that he gave up the work immediately. After receiving the money, he said with a smile, "still young man, you will come. Since you gave me a tip, I'll talk to you well. The information I keep for you is worth more than the money."
"All ears." Xiao Qiang replied with a smile. After he came out of the red hot restaurant just now, he drove around the prosperous area of the town, and finally found the fruit shop to buy fruit alone. In fact, he was just asking for information. If you want to know something about Yongle Town quickly, you have to find these people who set up shops on the roadside, which is the most effective.
"Well, you are the one who purchases jade. Naturally, you know that in the Huanghua jade mining area of Yongle Town, basically all the minerals identified as medium and top grade or top grade are given priority to be processed and sold by state-owned enterprises? The state-owned enterprise is Yongan jade factory, but now it seems to be a public-private joint venture. Anyway, it's almost the same. " The boss said with a smile, "in addition to the raw stones supplied to the jade factory, the rest of the poor ores will be sent to private trading. However, although the rest are identified as medium and low-grade raw jade ores, it is very difficult to identify the ores themselves, so there are still some Appraisers who take a blind eye to them. And a lot of bosses just want to buy these raw stones at a low price. If they are lucky enough to get a few pieces of good jade, it will be a success. But if we can't open it, we don't have a lot of losses. After all, the ores in the mining area that are exiled to the private market are very cheap. Am I right? "
Xiao Qiang nodded. In fact, as early as when he bought the jade factory, the county explained the situation. After all, the amount of ore produced by Huanghua jade mine is huge every year, and the jade factory alone can't swallow all of it. Those low value raw jade factories don't even bother to cut, so it's normal for them to enter the private market for digestion. To put it bluntly, the acquisition of the reserve price raw stone from the mining area in Yongle Town is itself a gamble. If you are lucky enough to buy a batch of raw stones and cut out a lot of medium-sized jade, you will make a profit. Otherwise, you will lose, but not a lot.
