Chapter 101 Difficulties abound
Regarding the economic development of Xingfu Reservoir, after carefully formulating a detailed plan...
Qi Tongwei suddenly realized that there was still a key problem that was seriously restricting the future development of Xingfu Reservoir.
The thorny problem is traffic conditions.
Because Xingfu Reservoir is located in a secluded and remote mountain forest, its geographical location is extremely remote, making it very inconvenient for people and supplies to enter and exit.
If we want to develop the economy of Xingfu Reservoir, we must decisively and effectively solve this transportation bottleneck.
In other words, when Qi Tongwei was ambitiously preparing to start large-scale farming of crayfish and fish...
His primary task was to improve the treacherous road connecting Yanshan Township and Xingfu Reservoir.
Looking back to his time in Gushanling Township, Qi Tongwei was able to boldly plan the roads throughout the entire township.
This was mainly due to the fact that the village and township had purchased a large number of stock subscription certificates.
After the second lottery, the substantial profits will be generated by selling these stock subscription certificates.
That would be more than enough to easily handle the huge financial investment required for road construction.
Of course, the township purchased the stock subscription certificates through two township-owned enterprises: a vegetable company and a mountain produce processing plant.
It is illegal for townships to directly purchase stock subscription certificates.
However, the situation facing Xingfu Reservoir today is quite different.
This area lacks both strong policy support and financial assistance from higher-level authorities.
They also do not have a substantial enough financial foundation to support such a massive project expenditure.
Faced with such a difficult predicament, Qi Tongwei couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Without solving the transportation problem, fish farming cannot be carried out in Xingfu Reservoir, since fish farming requires the introduction of fish fry.
The fish fry need to be transported in from outside.
Once the fish have grown to a certain size, they need to be transported out before they can be sold.
If the fish can't be transported out, raising more won't generate economic benefits.
Good transportation is also necessary to attract people to fishing; otherwise, fishing enthusiasts won't go to such a far place.
If no one comes to fish, the subsequent plans cannot proceed.
As a result, the reservoir economy, which was originally well-planned, could not proceed and develop smoothly according to the established plan.
This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Qi Tongwei, who was eager to make a name for himself and achieve great things here.
Fortunately, there's always a way out.
After careful consideration, he realized that the only thing he could still do well was raise crayfish.
It's important to know that crayfish are highly adaptable creatures, and there is considerable market demand for them.
In later generations, crayfish became incredibly popular throughout China, becoming a beloved culinary star on the dining table!
Whether it's the fragrant garlic lobster, the irresistible spicy lobster, or the uniquely flavorful thirteen-spice lobster, etc.
Each flavor is so enticing that it makes diners' mouths water.
From upscale restaurants in bustling cities to roadside stalls in alleyways, and even lively barbecue restaurants, crayfish can be seen everywhere.
They were displayed in baskets of various sizes for guests to choose from.
Of course, there are also prepared crayfish.
They were served on exquisite plates, emitting an enticing aroma that attracted the attention of passersby.
Many people will not hesitate to order a delicious crayfish dish when dining out.
Imagine this scenario:
Friends and family sat together, with plates of bright red crayfish laid out in front of them.
Everyone put on gloves and enthusiastically peeled off the shrimp shells, revealing the tender and juicy shrimp meat.
Some people like to dip the shrimp meat in garlic sauce to enjoy the perfect blend of rich garlic flavor and fresh shrimp meat.
Some people prefer the stimulating taste of spicy food, and they can't stop eating even when they are sweating profusely.
Some people are particularly fond of Thirteen-Spice Lobster, savoring the unique flavor created by the interplay of various spices.
At the same time, people will also pair it with a cold and refreshing beer.
Take a bite of spicy and delicious crayfish, then gulp down a big mouthful of ice-cold beer.
That wonderful feeling of being both hot and cold is intoxicating and incredibly pleasant!
In this cheerful atmosphere, everyone chatted and shared the joy of delicious food.
If they can be successfully raised and marketed, it could bring in a considerable income.
However, the transportation process that followed became a problem for Qi Tongwei.
Because of its remote mountainous location and extremely inconvenient transportation, the options for transporting crayfish are very limited.
There are two relatively simple and feasible methods:
One method is to transport crayfish out of the mountains by carrying them on one's back;
The second method involves using local livestock, such as donkeys, to transport the crayfish.
Of course, these two modes of transportation are relatively easy to operate.
However, they all have one obvious drawback—the transportation speed is too slow!
If it's just a small amount of crayfish, it's not a big deal, but once the production increases, relying on manpower and livestock is clearly far from enough.
Therefore, from a long-term perspective, building a cableway for transporting crayfish is the best solution.
After all, using a cableway can not only greatly improve transportation efficiency, but also reduce the damage to crayfish caused by bumpy roads.
However, ideals are often grand, while reality is often harsh.
The cost of purchasing the steel cables needed to build the cableway alone is substantial.
Add to that the subsequent construction costs and other expenses, and it's no small sum!
Given the current situation of Xingfu Reservoir, it is simply unable to afford this huge expense in the short term.
They had no choice but to temporarily abandon the idea of building a cableway and instead try to solve the immediate transportation problem by relying on manpower and livestock.
In addition, Qi Tongwei suddenly discovered that raising crayfish in Xingfu Reservoir might cause the dike to collapse, and the raised crayfish would also be difficult to harvest.
The dam of Xingfu Reservoir is an earthen dam, and crayfish can burrow into it, which can easily damage the dam.
Initially, Qi Tongwei planned to use nets to confine the crayfish in one place.
But crayfish can burrow, so they can't be caught in a net.
Moreover, Xingfu Reservoir is relatively large and deep, making it easy for crayfish to scatter and difficult to harvest.
Therefore, Qi Tongwei hesitated about raising crayfish.
After hesitating for a long time, Qi Tongwei finally decided to start crayfish farming.
He can't just wander around the reservoir every day and waste his time; he wants to achieve something at Xingfu Reservoir.
If crayfish can't be raised in Xingfu Reservoir, then we'll dig a pond next to the reservoir to raise them.
Therefore, Qi Tongwei immediately took action and began to travel around actively searching for high-quality crayfish seedlings.
At the same moment, a huge uproar broke out at Handong University.
Almost all the teachers and students learned that Qi Tongwei had been transferred to guard the reservoir.
The news spread like wildfire, sparking heated discussions and widespread attention.
Many people were outraged by Liang Lu's actions after hearing about this, and condemned her behavior as shameful.
Everyone felt that Liang Lu was far too arrogant and domineering!
It was already a pity that Qi Tongwei was sent to a remote town.
Now, they've gone even further, sending him to those desolate, remote mountains and forests to guard the reservoir.
This practice is absolutely outrageous.
People couldn't help but feel sorry for Qi Tongwei, who had suffered great injustice and grievances.
As a result, Liang Lu's image plummeted in the public eye, and she became the target of public criticism.
Of course, no one dared to publicly criticize Liang Lu, after all, her father was Liang Qunfeng, the secretary of the Provincial Political and Legal Affairs Commission.
If you publicly criticize Liang Lu, she will definitely hold a grudge and ask her father to deal with you.
