The entire Jersey Mine mine has lanterns and red and green, and has set up high color platforms on the most spacious site in the mine. Dozens of mine workers have already set up the venue under the command of Huang Lao since yesterday, and have only been waiting for the hammer ceremony.

Wu Di came to the mine early. For such a big thing, how could the master not be careful in everything?

More than a dozen colleagues came to the Daning Jade Association. The leader was naturally Tian Yiping, the president of the Jade Association. Although everyone is not optimistic about this mine, people have a lucky mentality. If the mine really mines rose stones, then you can get some good raw materials with that young man. Even if the mine is really a garbage mine as people expected, it doesn’t matter. Just think it’s coming out to relax, and you won’t lose anything anyway.

Ling Huaqiang had arrived long ago, and the work at the Jersey Mine had been handed over. If it weren't for the hammering ceremony of this brat, he would have been sitting in the office of the deputy director of the Daning Mining Bureau.

Wu Guozhong also came, but he took the initiative to marginalize himself and walked around the mine with his second uncle. This was the first time he came here. When he saw the basic project here, he was a little astonished. This little bastard originally thought that his mine was a rat hole, but he didn't expect such a large scale. The office area, living area, production area, and this construction scale could not be built without a one-to-one.8 million yuan. Especially when Wu Guofa mentioned to him that there would be a supporting project such as manganese dioxide production plant, sewage treatment plant and other supporting projects in the later stage, Wu Guozhong couldn't help but feel a little timid. If such a large investment, if something happens, wouldn't it be lost?

The hammering ceremony was scheduled at 10 o'clock. It was still early, but there were already many guests.

Mr. Huang brought Wu Di to introduce a group of colleagues from the Daning Jade Association to him, and naturally he was polite. Ling Huaqiang was also in this circle. He was a member of the Jade Association and was familiar with most people. He also had common topics together. When everyone was having a happy chat, some guests who were invited arrived one after another, including officials from the Dagou Township Government, the jurisdiction of the Guishan Mine, and some officials who came from some relevant units in Qiushun County. Originally, like the Guishan Mine

A small enterprise will not alarm so many officials when holding a start-up ceremony. However, some relevant departments have received a notice from Kou Liping's secretary Xu Ying. Today, the acting secretary, County Mayor Kou Liping, will make an important speech on the county party committee and government on vigorously supporting private enterprises at this start-up ceremony. This has to attract people's attention. Besides, well-informed people have long known that the background of this Guishan Mine is not simple, so it is not harmful to take the opportunity to build a good relationship, right?

With more people, it will naturally become a little messy. Ling Huaqiang has retreated from the circle of the Jade Association and greeted these officials with Wu Di. Fortunately, his second uncle is versatile and has not neglected the people in both circles.

Wu Di grinned secretly. He originally planned to have a simple start-up ceremony, but he didn't expect that it would be such a big battle now. Even the interview car from the county TV station has arrived. Sister, even if you want to use my small business to build momentum, there is no need to make such a big noise, right? This has become a government office meeting. So, will the county government reimburse the hospitality at noon?

At this time, Wu Di's land cruiser drove into the mining area. As soon as the car stopped, Liu Yuliang and Shen Cheng jumped out of the car and looked around looking for Wu Di.

Wu Di and the new party secretary of Dagou Township next to him sued the two of them.

"Is it done?"

"I've done it. I bought fifty packs and fifty lighters at the Nanhai wholesale market, which cost more than 8,000 yuan." Chen Cheng felt so painful as he said this. It cost more than 8,000 yuan. He couldn't make so much money even if he planted wheat for two seasons. He spent it in the blink of an eye and still had to give it to others for free.

Wu Di laughed loudly: "It's done well. Have you booked the banquet at Qiushun Hotel?"

"Well, I've ordered it, Jingru is there to take care of her." Liu Yuliang nodded and said.

This was the trend of the 1990s, and no one could avoid the custom. As long as they attend banquets of all sizes, no matter what nature they were, they would receive souvenirs from their hosts before leaving. Wu Di originally prepared fifty gifts. After seeing this attitude, he hurriedly sent Liu Yuliang and Shen Cheng to the wholesale market in Nanhai City to re-issue a batch.

At 9:40, three black Audis and four Santanas turned over the foot of the mountain and drove towards the mining area.

Applause rang out, and people surrounded and walked towards the entrance of the mining area, forming a welcoming posture in the middle of the road. It seems that government officials are familiar with this kind of ease. The guests of the Jade Association and the employees of the mine only reacted later. As the general trend was in progress, they also entered the ranks of welcoming.

Wu Di and Ling Huaqiang were pushed to the forefront by people, and Wu Di consciously lagged behind Ling Huaqiang half a step behind.

Here, Wu Di is the identity of a landlord, while Ling Huaqiang is due to his identity.

A burst of smoke and dust stopped steadily at the entrance of the mining area.

Before Xu Ying opened the door, Kou Liping had already pushed open the car door and walked out, strode towards Ling Huaqiang: "Secretary Ling is here too, how dare you work for Secretary Ling to greet him in person."

After Ling Huaqiang was transferred to the Provincial Mining Bureau, the administrative level was transferred to the deputy department level. Although there has not been any report yet, this is an indisputable fact. Among the people on the scene, only Ling Huaqiang had the highest administrative level, and he also thought that Kou Liping had such a stance. However, Ling Huaqiang had not reported his duties yet, and Kou Liping still called Secretary Ling to Ling Huaqiang according to his original habits.

Ling Huaqiang smiled and held Kou Liping's hand, but took the lead in changing Kou Liping's name: "Secretary Kou, here, I am just Wu Di's father-in-law, not Secretary Ling."

Kou Liping is the deputy secretary of the county party committee and now the acting secretary, so this title is a perfect match.

Kou Liping giggled, glanced at Wu Di, and reached out to him: "Congratulations, Mr. Wu, your career is getting bigger and bigger. Should I tell you congratulations on getting rich?"

Wu Di hurriedly took a step forward, held Kou Liping's hand with both hands and shook it: "Secretary Kou is here."

Kou Liping turned her face to avoid Ling Huaqiang's gaze, and the smile on her face disappeared. She lowered her voice and said in a low voice: "Don't think I don't know the mess of you and Xiao Zhen, let's see how I turn back and deal with you."

"Ah?" Wu Di opened his mouth a few times and said teasingly: "Sister, you can't wrongly accuse a good person."

Kou Liping giggled and squeezed Wu Di's hand hard: "Let's go back and get rid of you."

As he spoke, Kou Liping let go of Wu Di's hand and shook hands with the officials who rushed over in advance in order.

Those who came with Kou Liping were all amazing figures in the county, including executive deputy county magistrate Liu Delin, secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee Wang Zili, county party committee propaganda minister Bai Zeyan, public security director Jiang Ruiping, director of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau Zhao Junhong, and the new director of the Taxation Bureau Chen Zhiming, the deputy director who received Wu Di when he paid taxes for the first time. However, when Chen Zhiming met Wu Di again, he had been intimate several times.

The officials were greeted with a lively greeting, and walked into the ribbon cutting scene with humility and ingenuity. Where did the workers have the opportunity to see so many high-ranking officials at one time? They were rushing to shake hands with officials who had only seen on TV. Only Huang Lao and some members of the Jade Association shook their heads and smiled bitterly. Is this starting to cut the ribbon or holding a government work meeting? No matter what people think, Huang Lao knew one thing that with this ribbon cutting ceremony, there would be less trouble in the Guishan Mine.

Kou Liping and others were invited to the rostrum by Mr. Huang. Ling Huaqiang smiled and refused the invitation from Mr. Huang and Mr. Kou Liping, and sat down in the VIP seat in the audience, indicating that he was attending the hammering ceremony in his private capacity today.

There was really nothing to say next. Huang Lao’s speech and Wu Di’s speech were nothing more than some polite words such as thanks. Finally, he invited Kou Liping, acting secretary of the county party committee, to speak.

Kou Liping was obviously prepared for a long time. She took the speech handed over by Xu Ying, and emphasized a central theme, vigorously supported the development of the private economy, imitated the economic development model of the central and southern coastal areas, created a local economy with Qiushun characteristics, and drove the development of industry and commerce in the county, thereby injecting new vitality into agriculture and fishery.

Kou Liping's speech was very exaggerated, and she received warm applause with her powerful body movements. The camera of the county TV station also recorded this passionate moment. But the employees in the mine kept blinking their big eyes. The county magistrate is the county magistrate. Look at how profound the other speech was. Although we didn't understand what the leader was saying, did you not see the other leaders applauding? There would be nothing wrong with it when we applauded, right?

Kou Liping's speech ended, and Mr. Huang, who presided over the hammer opening ceremony, announced the last ceremony: hammer opening.

Most people don’t know what the hammering ceremony in the mine is, and they don’t understand how the hammering ceremony in the jade industry will be carried out, so they are all excited.

Amid the warm applause of people, two young men walked onto the stage with a large wooden pallet covered in red cloth. Looking at their difficulty, it was obvious that the large wooden pallet was quite heavy.

Under the command of Mr. Huang, the two young men put the wooden pallet in the middle of the rostrum.

Old Huang smiled and reached out and pulled off the red cloth covered by the wooden tray, revealing the large stone weighing 100 kilograms that he carefully chose and dug from the python in the first cave.

People's eyes were attracted by this big brown-red stone. Isn't this an ordinary stone? It's no different from the stones all over the mountains of Guishan.

"Now, please ask Mr. Wu Di, chairman of Guishan Mine to hammer." Mr. Huang said loudly, handing a eight-pound sledgehammer with red silk to Wu Di.
