"We know that too. Building a villa complex can be sold, and the increased profits will be even greater."

"That's true."

"Which eco-park does Chairman Zhang plan to invest in?"

“My hometown is Toucheng, so I’ll choose that location! It will be more convenient to go back to my hometown to pay respects to my ancestors.”

"Sure, how much does Chairman Zhang plan to invest?"

"How about 1 million?"

"Okay, I'll have someone estimate it later, and I'll show you the contract. If there are no problems, we'll sign it!"

"OK!"

One million may not seem like much, but in the late 1980s, it was no small sum. A rough estimate would suggest that it represented about 30% of the shares.

This month, Chairman Zhang is truly a shrewd old fox. With just this small investment, he's made a fortune in his hometown, and the returns could multiply many times over in the future.

But it doesn't matter. I don't plan to own all the eco-parks by myself. Wouldn't it be better to have someone to do it with?

"Chairman Wang, how was your visit to the Beijing Ecological Park?"

"To be honest, Mr. Li, you are very capable and have a long-term vision. The ecological park provides Beijing with a continuous supply of vegetables, meat, and other products."

Moreover, the ecological park can be developed into a tourist destination, which can also maintain the ecological environment. It can be said to be a win-win situation!

This project is great. I think this place in Guangzhou can replicate the Beijing Eco-Park. I dare say, in the future, this eco-park in Guangzhou will definitely be no worse than the one in Beijing!

"To be honest, Mr. Wang, that's what I think too."

“Chairman Li, you can invest in this eco-park or not, but you must guarantee that it must be built in accordance with the environment of Guangzhou.”

"Chairman Wang, you're being too serious. Let me be blunt with you. In my opinion, no matter how things develop in the future, everyone will still be inseparable from the two words: food and drink!"

Moreover, as people's living standards improve, their demands will increase. The construction of this ecological park is entirely based on the principles of being green and pollution-free.

"That's good. Here's what we'll do, Mr. Li. I'll invest 3 million in this ecological park in Yangcheng."

"No problem, I'll send you the contract back later, and we'll officially sign it."

"Chairman Li is so straightforward."

"Chairman Wang is joking."

3 million means that 40% of the area in this ecological park in Guangzhou is still quite a lot!

Over the next few days, I negotiated several contracts with other people, all related to the eco-park. However, in the end, I became the largest shareholder in all of these eco-parks, so I could say that I still had the final say.

After finishing up in Guangzhou, I returned to Beijing. With the development of the ecological park in Beijing, I basically no longer need to keep an eye on it.

In particular, the design and construction drafts for the previous few ecological parks had already been completed, and the construction teams and personnel responsible for the construction were all familiar with the projects.

As for the experts, needless to say, when the ecological park was being built in Beijing, the experts and professors from Beijing Agricultural University would visit it whenever they had free time.

When they heard that I was going to build an eco-park in another place, they all rushed to go.

In their view, this was an invaluable experimental base.

That's true, after all, they not only grow grain there, but also raise livestock and so on.

They can conduct experiments there, since some crops or other things are not suitable for growing in the north. If other places have this ecological park, they won't have to worry about land approval; they can just help with construction. Why not?

...

"Honey, I heard from Dad that you mailed back a lot of electronic products. Why are you suddenly thinking about investing in electronics again?"

"Yeah? What do you think?"

"It should be possible, but I don't know if the government will regulate it."

“I don’t think it’s a big problem. I met Miss Linda in the port city this time. She told me that small computers are already common in ordinary households there. I think it won’t take more than 20 years for our country to be able to do the same.”

"Since that's the case, then go ahead and be bold!"

"Aren't you afraid? I'll lose all the money I worked so hard to earn."

"What's the big deal? I may not earn as much as you, but my salary is still enough to support my family."

“You’re right. During my trip to the port city, I found that their cultural industry is developing quite well, which is a promising direction.”

"Cultural industry? What is that?"

"The cultural industry, primarily engaged in the production and provision of intellectual products, aims to satisfy people's cultural needs. It refers to the creation and sale of cultural meaning itself, and in a narrow sense includes literary and artistic creation, music composition, photography, dance, industrial design, and architectural design."

"You mean submitting and publishing articles is also a kind of cultural industry."

That's right.

"So you mean you're planning to open a newspaper?"

"No, I'm planning to open a comprehensive cultural company. You don't know, right now, celebrities are very popular in Hong Kong, and this alone accounts for a large proportion of Hong Kong's financial revenue."

Will this work?

"No problem, I plan to cooperate with the port city."

"I don't understand this, you can decide for yourself."

"By the way, there's something I want to discuss with you. I'm planning to set aside a portion of my annual income to help with rural development."

"Rural development isn't something that's been overlooked in cities. How do you plan to support rural development?"

Do you remember that Fusong County produces mountain products?

"You know that?"

“I plan to build a road for the villages that used to be sent to the countryside, so that I can collect mountain products from them and transport them to Beijing to sell.”

"Aren't you always smart about where to source your goods?"

"But the quantity is too small. I think we can sell the local mountain products to more distant places and expand the market."

This will stimulate economic development in the surrounding areas, thereby boosting the economy of Fusong County.

"You're using the countryside to encircle the cities!"

"You could say that?"

"But wouldn't that be very troublesome?"

"Actually, it's not troublesome. My main job is to build roads for them for free. Whether they can develop or not depends on themselves."

In other words, if a place wants to get rich, it must first build roads; only in this way can economic development be rapid.

"I see. So what are you planning to do about Tongshi? You can't build roads there too! It's very close to the city center, it's just that the roads are difficult to travel on."

"It still needs to be repaired; we can't favor one over the other, right?"

That's true.

"By the way, I heard that there are quite a few female comrades in the compound who are now staying at home doing nothing."

"What, what are you thinking now? Can you help me get a job?"
