When migrant workers recruited from various places continued to pour into Kunshan farms, Mr. Zhao quietly left Kunshan.
This is the first time he has gone out after the New Year. He has to go to many places, and Secretary Ma has filled his schedule to the fullest.
In order to concentrate on his work, he left the little county owner in Kunshan. Jiang Xueying also went to Suzhou to inspect the construction progress of the headquarters.
Of course, Sister Ma and Qiaoqiao have to go on the road together, otherwise Mr. Zhao will not be able to eat well, sleep well, or do his job well.
With its white hull and white sails, the extremely popular Science has set sail again. After leaving Xujiang River and entering Taihu Lake, we arrived at our first stop, Xishan Island, at dusk.
He will spend the night on the island and set off again tomorrow morning.
Hua Boxhen was notified in advance and waited at the dock early to welcome the young master into the military camp.
While accompanying the young master towards the small courtyard where he was staying, Hua Boxhen explained for Jin Ke:
"General Jin took the 500 security guards recruited a year ago to go around the island for training yesterday, and he hasn't come back yet."
Zhao Hao¡¯s security personnel only informed Xishan Island of his itinerary one hour in advance, so of course Jin Ke had no way of knowing.
"Can you come back tonight?" Zhao Hao really wanted to see him for something.
"It's hard to say. If I just walked around the island, I would have come back a long time ago. But he said that in accordance with the young master's request of 'be strict and difficult and start from actual combat', he would deliberately increase the difficulty, so I can't say for sure." Hua Bo Zhen asked for instructions: "Let me send a signal to call him back."
"That's fine." Zhao Hao thought for a moment and nodded.

In that small courtyard, which was still as clean and tidy as new even though they had not lived there for a long time, Mr. Zhao and Hua Boxhen were enjoying the three delicacies of Taihu Lake while casually chatting about the situation on the island.
In fact, Mr. Hua has lost his sense of taste and is just talking nonsense. Fortunately, the rapid development of Xishan Island made him very excited, and he could use dopamine to stimulate the secretion of salivary amylase.
"The third cement plant will be put into operation successfully after the new year. The production capacity can be ramped up in three months at most." Hua Boxhen said excitedly: "The third plant is large in scale, and its output can exceed that of the first and second plants combined!"
"So, Chongming and Pudong can afford it?" Mr. Zhao took a spoonful of fragrant shrimp scrambled eggs and felt the sweetness in his mouth.
"Absolutely." Hua Boxhen immediately became cautious. Now it is no better than when the company was founded last year. At that time, bragging would not pay taxes, and it would be most embarrassing if the bullshit was blown.
Now the group has formulated strict regulations, and the board of directors has strict assessment of its subordinate companies. If the promises made are not fulfilled, they will be held accountable.
"Yeah." Zhao Hao nodded, but he didn't want to go into details, and asked vaguely: "Where is the quarry?"
"There is less material used in Kunshan, but the demand in Chongming Pudong has increased. The current one alone is in short supply." Hua Boxhen said: "I am planning to discuss with the young master to choose a location to build a second quarry in the spring. Woolen cloth."
"You don't need to ask for instructions on this kind of thing, you can just do it." Zhao Hao said, thinking about it and said: "But I have a suggestion, try to use quarrying to create more flat land to prepare for building factories in the future."
The reason why Xishan Island was abandoned by the islanders was partly because of the Japanese pirates. The main reason is that it is an island lifted out of Taihu Lake. Although it is large, it has no flat land. It is very inconvenient to live or farm.
Building a factory is naturally inconvenient.
"Understood." In addition to being the chairman of Jiangnan Building Materials, Hua Boxhen also serves as the general manager of Xishan Island. He spends 80% of his time on this island every month, and has long been familiar with every plant, tree, mountain and stone here.
"But the progress of land creation is too slow just by digging out mountains and extracting rocks." Hua Bozhen paused and said with some displeasure: "And if the businessmen in Wu County and Changzhou also imitate us in Suzhou to extract rocks, they will definitely take away a piece of business. of."
"What's the point of selling resources if you let them snatch them away?" Zhao Hao curled his lips and said proudly: "It would be better if all the business were snatched away, so that we can less damage our base camp."
¡°Then young master, how can we build a factory?¡± Hua Boxhen asked.
"It is not a problem to build ten or eight factories on the open space on the island right now." Zhao Hao waved his hand and said: "In the long run, if we want to realize the value of Xishan Island, we still have to fill in the lake and create farmland."
In another time and space, in the 1960s and 1970s, the people's government reclaimed more than 20 square kilometers of lakes and cultivated land, and Xishan Island finally prospered.
Mr. Zhao, who was about to take the medicine according to the prescription, couldn't help but feel lucky again that there were no environmentalists in this era.
"Filling the lake to create farmland?" Hua Bozhen's eyes lit up, he slapped his thigh and said, "Young master, you have so many clever ideas! Yes, Pudong and Chongming can reclaim the sea to create farmland, and our Xishan Island can reclaim the lake to create farmland."?Without words! It doesn¡¯t matter how much land you want! "
"Having thirty to forty thousand acres of land is enough." Zhao Hao shook his head and said consciously: "Don't damage Taihu Lake too much, otherwise we will be scolded by future generations."
"Hua Bozhen doesn't understand, why do future generations scold him?" We are obviously fighting for them.
"Ask Pan Zhongcheng to help you take a look and come up with a plan according to his wishes." Zhao Hao warned again: "This matter needs to be done quickly. It is best to invite him over this month. If it is too late, we will not be able to invite anyone."
Hua Bozhen was confused again. Calculating, Pan Zhongcheng would not be able to serve until the end of the year. Moreover, if a celebrity like him is not summoned three times by the court, he will generally not rise again. Otherwise, people will laugh at me for being too utilitarian.
So Pan Jixun should still be able to serve as a consultant for the group for one or two years, right? Why do I hear what the young master means? It seems like he is about to fly away.
But if you don¡¯t manage or understand what the young master says, just do it. There will be a time in the future when I will understand

The two talked about the coal mines and pyrite mining on the island.
Zhao Hao is most concerned about pyrite. As long as he can follow the books in chemical experiments, he can learn to use pyrite to prepare sulfuric acid. He will immediately start building Jiangnan Chemical Industry to manufacture this most important chemical industry raw material!
But Hua Boxhen¡¯s biggest headache is the coal mine. He told Zhao Hao that the coal produced on the island was disliked by all parties.
"The coal from our island has long been no longer used in the Summer Resort. I heard from Deputy Director Zhang that all the coal produced from our coal is scrap steel. Director Xing also said that our coal cannot reach the temperature required to burn glass. ." Just listen to Hua Boxhen madly complaining:
"Even the cement factory has been pestering me all day long, wanting to switch to Huai coal for burning." Hua Boxhen said with a wry smile: "But to be honest, the coal on our island is indeed quite choking. Not to mention whether it can warm the furnace. , and it chokes people to death. The quality of the cement produced by the Building Materials Research Institute using high-quality Huai coal is obviously much better than the current products."
"Normal." Zhao Hao said indifferently: "The Huai coal we imported is high-quality coking coal, which is of extremely high quality. The coal on Xishan Island is medium-ash and high-sulfur coal with low calorific value and high sulfur content, so it cannot be used for coking. Iron smelting will definitely not work, and it will also have a certain impact on the output and quality of cement. In the future, it will be replaced by high-quality coal."
When Hua Bozhen heard this, her heart ached. "That is to say, there is still no way to change it in a short period of time?"
"Hmm." Zhao Hao nodded and said: "The coal from Huaibei is good, but it is thousands of miles away, and the transportation cost is too high. We can afford to use the coal from Huaibei for scientific research, and we can use it to burn clinker all day long. The company will lose money."
"Is there no coal nearby?" Hua Boxhen said depressedly.
Zhao Haoxin said that there is one in Changxing on the other side of Taihu Lake, but no one has discovered it yet.
