In the second half of 1999, Jiang Village is confirmed for demolition.
However, earlier that year, An Jianping's family made two significant moves:
First, they sold two plots of the...
Chapter 437: Unity of Jiangcun People
That’s true!
An Songyu nodded as he listened.
"But there are so many farmhouses in Jiangcun. We can't just make Jiangcun a famous farmhouse village in the whole Shuncheng area."
“We can also help each other while competing.”
"Even our own family members may not be able to do this!"
"But your entire village actually did it."
Are you saying that there are no annoying people in Jiangcun?
That’s definitely not!
Even in the An family, there are people like An Songshu.
But even in this situation, Jiangcun is still able to unite and make farm stays profitable for every family.
That's more than just the power of unity.
An Songyu listened and found it quite unbelievable.
In the past, she had never thought about the reasons behind this.
After all, she could only go back to Jiangcun a limited number of times throughout the year.
When I actually lived in Jiangcun, the farmhouses in Jiangcun were already booming.
And even if their family returned, they built several buildings to welcome guests.
No one in the village said that they came back to steal business.
Even when guests came to pick the fruit when the orchard was ripe, they didn't hear anything unpleasant.
So...the people of Jiangcun are really united?
In the evening, An Songyu asked An Jianping this question.
An Songlin and his wife, An Songxiang and the other two, who were also thinking about this question deeply for the first time, all looked at An Jianping with wide eyes.
"This matter...is actually not that simple!" An Jianping looked at the three children and couldn't help shaking his head.
It seems that if Ayu and A Nian hadn't reminded them, they wouldn't have reacted at all!
"When we went back to build the house, people kept calling me to ask about this." An Jianping revealed something that the three siblings had never known.
"Even for picking in the orchard, we never actively solicit customers."
"Apart from some people who just wandered over there, the others were brought over by other families in the village!"
"Most of our orchard's produce has always been picked directly by your uncle and sold at his fruit shop."
"So although these will have some impact on the village, the impact is not too big."
"Xiaoyu, you have always known in the village that all the guests who come to stay at our house are introduced by the villagers."
"Isn't it because we don't run a farm stay that we have no guests?" An Songyu replied subconsciously.
An Jianping couldn't help but laugh. He asked, "So the guests of your hotel are also introduced to you by Fengyinwan?"
An Songyu immediately shook his head.
At the same time, I also fully reacted.
Yes, because she built the house for the demolition compensation, she had never thought deeply about some things.
However, even in a place like Jiangcun, if we don’t open a farm stay, can we not just open a B&B?
At that time, she really didn't care about the little income from guests' accommodation, so she didn't think about these issues at all.
An Jianping looked at An Songyu's reaction and felt quite surprised.
He couldn't help but ask, "Xiaoyu, you really haven't thought about anything, have you?"
An Songyu turned away awkwardly.
An Jianping was really helpless.
Although he did bet on the possibility of demolition at the beginning.
But the several B&Bs in Jiangcun also wanted to give An Songyu some practice.
Of course he knew that such a B&B was different from a hotel manager.
But some of the things we need to do in daily life are still exactly the same.
But he really didn't expect that this child really hadn't thought about anything.
Hearing An Jianping's thoughts, An Songyu quickly raised his hand weakly: "It's not like I haven't thought about it at all!"
“When I was managing the B&B, I still thought about it seriously.”
An Jianping looked at his daughter in silence.
"How did the farm stays in the village start? And how did they develop into what they are today?" An Songlin quickly changed the subject. On the one hand, he was really curious, and on the other hand, he didn't want to see his sister in trouble.
"Of course, Uncle Wenlin and the others stepped in to control it! Otherwise, do you really think that everyone in the village... has that kind of vision?"
"Even the public environment in the village was renovated and maintained bit by bit by Uncle Wenlin, who spent a lot of effort organizing people."
"Xiaolin, Xiaoyu, Xiaoxiang, haven't you returned to the village several times every year since you were little?"
"Have you ever felt that every time you return to the village, it seems a little different?"
"Do you really think any village can become as big as Jiang Village?"
"That's because Uncle Wenlin and his team seized the opportunity when the farmhouse business first became popular, and they were ruthless!"
"Even the old trees and stone paths in the village, except for some of them that were originally there."
“The rest have been refurbished.”
"I heard that they put a lot of effort into making Jiangcun attractive."
"Even Jianxing went to other places to learn from them."
"Later, the village committee developed the most suitable management method based on our village's own situation."
Otherwise, can any random village really continue to attract tourists?
Everything that Jiangcun has achieved later is the result of the joint efforts of the entire village!
This is true!
An Songyu and his two siblings looked at each other and felt as if their eyes had been blinded.
I didn't even discover the great wisdom hidden in Jiangcun.
An Jianping looked at the three children's reactions and analyzed the situation for them more seriously.
When An Jianping's mouth was dry from talking, An Songxiang sighed and said, "Is that why Grandpa Wenlin set these rules when the house was first demolished?"
"Of course, without rules, there will be no order!" Bi Lizhu nodded affirmatively and said:
"Setting up rules first will at least help those who are confused and hesitant know that there are certain things they can't do."
"It can also scare some timid people!"
"People... sometimes they do something wrong, not necessarily because they want to do it!"
"It's because he doesn't know the consequences of doing something wrong, or he didn't think about the possible consequences and acted impulsively!" An Songyu also felt the same way.
The information nowadays is not as developed as that in later generations.
But in later generations, with the increase in long and short videos, people can watch all the strange things in the world while sitting at home.
Only then did I realize how many things and how many people were ruined by impulse.
"That's why there is a saying that impulse is the devil!" An Songxiang summed it up quite playfully.
She was really not used to such a serious atmosphere.
"Impulse is indeed the devil!" An Songlin nodded in agreement. "Perhaps many people have the courage and determination to be good people, but most people don't necessarily have the courage to truly do bad things from the bottom of their hearts!"
Xuan Ying, who was next to him, couldn't help but look at her husband when she heard this.
It was actually the first time she heard that being a bad guy also requires courage.
But think about it, if you really set the rules first and then knowingly enforce them... that does require courage.
As the conversation went on, the family strayed off topic.
It was not until it was getting late that everyone hurried to rest.
The end of the year is approaching.
Several of the An family’s companies have also settled their accounts for the year.
To everyone's surprise, none of them spent less money this year.
But with just a few small companies, they have almost made back all the money except for the building in Fengyin Bay.
Seeing such results, the An brothers were instantly filled with motivation.
If it weren't for the end of the year, it would be difficult to make too many changes.
They all wanted to call their families for a meeting immediately!
Let’s plan our money-making strategy for next year.
However, the brothers were not in urgent need of money.
After distributing a portion of the money, the rest remained in the company's account.
Next year, they really plan to do something big.
It was not until the next day that An Songyu discovered that most of the money distributed to their family by these small companies had been transferred to her card.
An Songyu hurried downstairs to find her parents: "Dad, Mom...I didn't even mention the money for building Fengyinwan Hotel."
"Why did you transfer all the company's money to me?"
"What do you mean I called you everything?" An Jianping immediately turned a blind eye: "Your sister and I broke up too!"
"And your mother and brother and sister-in-law also received red envelopes!"
