Lin Chuanbai returned from the capital. Yu Xiangan: "What happened this time?"
Lin Chuanbai, "My teacher wanted me to join one of his projects, but I refused. I helped fight there for two days. How was the fight?"
Yu Xiangan: "It has been completely resolved. Your son has become friends with Zhang Tufei, the student who was beaten. Fighting is the way to friendship."
Lin Chuanbai understood: "It's just boys' friendship."
Yu Xiangan smiled and said, "I took them to sell buns, and I have good news for you."
Lin Chuanbai: "Selling buns means they have to suffer a little, what good news?"
Yu Xiangan: "I went to Changyao Pharmaceutical Factory to inquire about it. It's not doing well. It can still hold on now, but if the people above don't change, it won't hold on for much longer."
Lin Chuanbai also has good news: "The oral liquid I developed is very effective for children's fever and is almost ready for clinical use."
It is not the time when state-owned enterprises are laying off employees on a large scale, but some factories have been running poorly since the 1980s. However, they have been surviving thanks to government support and bank loans.
Lin Chuanbai wanted to open a civilian pharmacy. He did not develop any medicines for serious diseases. All he developed privately were daily medicines, such as cold medicines, antipyretics, iodine, herbal tea, etc. He only participated in some projects on serious diseases in the school research institute.
Daily medicine is one of his obsessions. Before he traveled through time, the old Taoist priest who raised Lin Chuanbai fell ill once. He spent a lot of money in the hospital but was not cured. Finally, someone introduced a very cheap and unknown Chinese patent medicine, which cured him.
He was deeply impressed by this incident and hoped that more such medicines could be available in every household.
Yu Xiangan expressed his support for his idea: Just do it if you want to do it.
It doesn't matter how much money you can make, as long as you can break even.
Not long after, a young lady named Wang Yongle appeared in Yangcheng. Her family used to run a martial arts school, but because of some changes at home, she went out to find a job. Yu Xiangan asked her to come here to accompany the two children. Lin Yining is a girl, and girls are more likely to talk about some things.
At this age, people won’t gossip easily.
Li Quanfu is a farmer in his fifties. He has been farming all his life. Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, he followed his parents to farm for the landlord. Later, when the new country was established, there were no landlords, so he followed other villagers to farm collective land and work according to the allocations from above. Later, when reforms were implemented and the household contract responsibility system was implemented, land was distributed to each household, and he farmed for his own family.
Farming is the only thing he knows how to do and how he makes a living.
Working for the collective is different from working for your own family.
For the same piece of land, if the previous harvest was 100 kilograms, after distributing it to individuals, they can get 120 kilograms.
Li Quanfu is very satisfied now, but most of his children are unwilling to farm. More and more of them go out to make a living and get a salary every month. His children have also gone out, leaving behind his grandchildren who will only come back to help during the busy farming season.
That didn't matter, they could take care of it, and he thought the days would just pass by like this, but he didn't expect that he would still be getting a salary at this age.
A big boss contracted a large piece of land, which included fields, mountains, and swamps.
Speaking of this mountain, it just experienced a mountain fire. I don't know who started the spark, but several hills were burned. Now these hills have been contracted and rented for quite a long time, and then they were hired to help clean up.
After cleaning up the land, they selected experienced people to farm the land. Li Quanfu looked at the salary and signed up tentatively. He didn't dare to say anything else, but he was confident in farming.
The results came out and he was selected.
After being selected, he can get a salary every month!
And it’s right on my doorstep.
The family has land, an old wife, and grandchildren. Life is so convenient.
There are many people like him. This mountain is not just for one village, but for three villages. People from other villages are also hired, and there are also people from other places. Some of them can raise fish, some can raise turtles, some can raise sheep, and some can raise rabbits...
Everyone excels in different areas.
After working for a few months, Li Quanfu wanted his children to come back as well. What was there to do while working in another place?
It’s better to work at your doorstep.
I can get a salary and still take care of my family.
Yu Xiangan invested gradually, and if he wanted to finish it all at once, the financial pressure would be too great.
The mountain top will be cleared bit by bit, and the parts cleared first will be placed according to the plan.
Some of the hills are planted with fruit trees, and some are planted with economic timber.
Li Quanfu was lucky to know some of them, and they were very popular when used to make furniture.
These things cannot be rushed. For example, fruit trees and economic timber cannot be harvested this year or next year after they are planted. Yu Xiangan plans to turn this place into a reliable kitchen. There are so many ingredients that are made with unknown additives, and they are not as reliable as those grown by oneself.
"Attracting investment" is a hot topic.
More and more local governments are seeking external capital injection to revitalize the economy.
As long as you are willing to build a factory there, generate revenue, and provide discounts of varying sizes.
Some are willing to reduce or exempt taxes, and some are willing to provide land for free or at a low price.
As long as the factory is built, there will be workers, and the local income will increase. Only with income can they do other things.
Baishi County wants to attract foreign investment, but this place is not a major transportation hub, has only one train station, and no natural resources, so it is difficult to attract investment.
In the village, Yu Shunwen was thinking about attracting investment.
There is a paper mill and a brick factory in their village.
The paper mill belongs to the town, but the brick factory belongs to their village.
Thanks to these two factories, everyone nearby gives their village a thumbs up when they talk about it. The most obvious thing is that it is easy for people from their village to marry girls from the city.
But Yu Shunwen felt that this was not enough.
Yu Manchang also felt that it was not enough.
After returning from a trip to the Special Administrative Region, they were both filled with excitement.
When they wanted to attract investment, the first person they looked for was Yu Mansheng. Yu Mansheng was in the construction business, and many young men in their village followed him out to make a living. Everyone knew that he was making a lot of money out there.
Regarding this, Yu Mansheng came over to ask Yu Xiangan for his opinion. Yu Xiangan spread his hands and said, "If you want to invest, invest. But if you are thinking about doing charity, then you have to distinguish it from doing business. Doing business is thinking about making money, so the approach is different."
Lin Guangbai, the elder brother of Lin Chuanbai, is now in charge of the development zone. He also asked Yu Xiangan if he wanted to invest there. There are definitely preferential policies, but Yu Xiangan calculated his own capital and felt that the distance was too far, so he did not go and put it on hold for the time being.
The return on investment wasn’t what she wanted.
If you ask her whether she wants to invest in her hometown, Yu Xiangan thinks it's okay to invest or not. If she wants to invest, the cost is not high. She can try the fruit industry. The peaches they grow there taste good. If they can make a name for themselves, they can also build a canning factory to produce canned fruit.
Not investing is not a good choice from the perspective of making money. If you want to do good deeds, you can repair the school and the road.
After hearing this, Yu Mansheng nodded and said, "I'll go back and think about it carefully."
He went back and first checked how much money he had.
His funds are not as good as Yu Xiangan's.
Yu Xiangan had thought about going to other places, as there were incentives for attracting investment, which was good, but he hadn't set up his business here yet.
No rush.
Wait another two years.
Lin Chuanbai and Yu Xiangan received a package, which was sent by Wu Zheng. It was a ginseng that was more than sixty years old. Before, Lin Chuanbai gave her a hundred-year-old ginseng when Wu Zheng went to the capital. She used it up later and wanted to find a similar one to give back to Lin Chuanbai, but she didn't find it. The one that was more than seventy years old in her hand was what she found with great difficulty.
After receiving this, Lin Chuanbai felt helpless. The ginseng was originally given to her, but she refused to take it. He really didn't need it.
Instead of giving him ginseng, it would be better to give him some other precious medicinal herbs, such as saffron.
He can now be considered a professional ginseng wholesaler.
Yu Xiangan couldn't help laughing: "If you take out the ginseng from the medicine garden, the price of ginseng in the market will fluctuate greatly."
Lin Chuanbai: "Isn't it good? This is a huge asset."
In the future, ginseng of older years will become increasingly difficult to find, and will be in short supply.
If rich people can keep one as a treasure, most of them will not hesitate.
Lu Anran set up a plan. One of her friends wanted to come here to do daily chemical business, producing shower gel and other products. She didn't have enough money, so she made an appointment with a beauty salon. They were all women, so they got massages and did skin care together. They talked and chatted while getting massaged, and thus they became good friends. It was also easier for them to talk about business and cooperation.
On the way to the beauty salon, Lu Anran introduced Yu Xiangan: "Her name is Liang Yuan, she is my high school classmate. After graduating from high school, she went to the United States to attend college, got married and had children there, and returned to Hong Kong a few years ago. Her husband is also Chinese and is still managing the business there. She is also a strong woman with a strong personality, but not rigid. I think even if we don't cooperate, we can still be friends."
When I got there, Liang Yuan was already waiting there. She was wearing a casual women's suit, long yellow wavy hair, and raised eyebrows, which was as eye-catching as her bright red lips.
When she saw Yu Xiangan, surprise flashed across her eyes.
Her outfit was more restrained in comparison, which wasn't surprising, but was she really about the same age?
Liang Yuan raised the corner of her mouth and stretched out her slender hand: "I have heard of your name for a long time."
Yu Xiangan also stretched out his hand and clasped it together: "I have heard of you for a long time, too."
Lu Anran: "Okay, don't be polite, let's go in and talk."
The two hands separated as soon as they touched.
Yu Xiangan: Her hands are so smooth...
It was a bit strange for her to sigh like that. If she were a man, it might have come off as vulgar, but she was just being honest about her feelings.
Liang Yuan's hands are well maintained.
The arc of Liang Yuan's mouth corners became bigger: "I have studied piano for several years, and my opponent cares a lot."
Lu Anran: "She studied under a famous teacher. If you have a chance to listen to her performance, you will know how high her level is."
Yu Xiangan: "Then I'm looking forward to it."
They went inside, Lu Anran: "Do you want to put on a facial mask?"
Yu Xiangan: "Forget it, just give me a massage."
Liang Yuan: "I want to have a hand treatment."
Lu Anran, "Then I'll give you a massage to loosen up your muscles. Do you like jade? I know a store that has a lot of fine products. Do you want to go take a look?"
At this time, the price of jadeite had not yet risen.
Liang Yuan: "Jadeite, I like high ice glass bracelets."
Lu Anran: "I am different. I don't have any special preferences, except for gems. Gems are my true love. As for other things, I like them as long as they are well made. Do I have no taste?"
Yu Xiangan: "What taste? I don't have such a concept. Whatever I like is good."
Yu Xiangan's preferences are also simple and rough. She likes whatever she thinks looks good. However, she will also stock up on some things in advance for future appreciation, such as jadeite. The price increase of jadeite is very amazing, and it is also suitable to be used as heirlooms. Jadeite mines are limited, and good jadeite will only become more and more expensive in the future.
"Then let's go to that store later."
Liang Yuan asked Lu Anran's daughter, "Why didn't you bring your child here today? Doesn't she have to go to school today?"
Lu Anran was helpless: "The child was clamoring to go to the zoo, and his father took them both there. I had originally said I would take them out, but they didn't want to."
Liang Yuan was a little envious: "Will the children's father take them there personally?"
Lu Anran: “Yes.”
Liang Yuan: "He's a good father. My father is so busy that he can hardly spare time for his children."
Lu Anran: "He is also very busy, so there are not many times like this. The three of us are similar and each of us has our own career."
Yu Xiangan looked at Liang Yuan's slender waist and asked, "How old is your child?"
Liang Yuan: "Nine years old, a boy."
Yu Xiangan laughed twice, "Then my child is the oldest."
Lu Anran: "You got married early. In a few years, your children will go to college. My children will only be in elementary school by then."
Yu Xiangan: "What does it matter? It's all the same. I don't want them to get married too early. If someone calls me grandma, I'll look so old." Yu Xiangan has always maintained a good mentality. She insists that her mental age is always eighteen.
There's nothing wrong with calling them mom and dad, but calling them grandma or great-grandma is very stressful.
No matter how late they get married, she will never urge them.
Liang Yuan: "Your two children are twins. Do they look exactly the same, are about the same height, and wear the same clothes? So you can't tell them apart?"
Yu Xiangan laughed: "No, they don't look very similar, but when they stand together, you can tell they are siblings."
Liang Yuan was somewhat envious: "You two are fine. I only have one son and I want to have another daughter, but it's too painful." It's been so long, and now when she talks about it, Liang Yuan still has lingering fears, "My body is not good. One is enough. I'm afraid I can't bear another one."
Lu Anran: "Your son is smart and clever, he is worth several others. If you don't want to have a child, then don't have one."
Lu Anran knew how much she had suffered. Everyone’s reaction to pregnancy is different. She was fine, but Liang Yuan’s reaction was too great when she was pregnant. It was no exaggeration to say that she really lost half her life after giving birth to a child.
Yu Xiang'an's birth went smoothly. When she went to the hospital to give birth, even the doctor couldn't help but say, "So fast!" It didn't cause any psychological trauma. She could have another child if she wanted, but she and Lin Chuanbai didn't want too many children. Two was enough.
Liang Yuan: "There's no telling what physical condition is. You two are so lucky."
Yu Xiangan: "Where is your child going to school now?"
Liang Yuan: "In the United States, the children are taken care of by their grandparents. What about you? Do you take your two children with you?"
Yu Xiangan: "My two are in Yangcheng, with their father..."
You and I chat with each other to enhance our understanding of each other. If there is any conflict in our values or opinions, then the cooperation will obviously not go on. This is the process.
Having an unreliable business partner is like throwing money into the water.
After having a massage here and Liang Yuan having a hand treatment, the three of them changed their location and went to the jewelry store that Lu Anran mentioned.
Gold, gemstones, diamonds, emeralds, jade, amber...
This store has strong financial strength. Yu Xiangan saw a lot of good things. The people working here also have sharp eyes. After taking a look at what they are wearing, they surrounded them enthusiastically and said, "Welcome. We have a wide range of jewelry in our store. I wonder what you three would like to see? Gold jewelry or jade?"
Lu Anran: "Let's take a look at the jade first."
"Okay, this side, please. This is the jadeite area. This is the design our designer just released this year. This is a piece of jewelry made of high-ice glass. There are necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and brooches." Seeing that Liang Yuan was more focused, the salesperson said to her, "You can try it on. You will definitely look more dazzling when you put it on."
This set of jewelry happened to be the high-ice glass type that Liang Yuan liked. She took a look and immediately asked her to put it on. "Okay, help me put it on and let me take a look."
Two other people came up to Lu Anran and Yu Xiangan. Yu Xiangan said, "I want to see some more elegant styles. I also want to give my son and daughter a pair of pendants. Do you have any recommendations?"
The salesperson smiled and said, "If you want to talk about grandeur, then I recommend this set. You can take a look at its purity. I can guarantee that if you go to other stores, there won't be many that can compare."
When Yu Xiangan saw this set of emeralds, his eyes were dazzled.
"Can I pick it up and have a look?"
"sure."
Yu Xiangan just picked it up and examined it carefully when a voice suddenly appeared behind him, "This set of jewelry is really beautiful, do you have more?"
Yu Xiangan felt that what he heard was familiar, so he turned around and saw a familiar yet unfamiliar face.
Ke Manyun.
Her college classmate.
It has been a few years since we last met. The last time they met was at the Capital Wuwei Restaurant. She went to dinner with Liu Mingyue and the others, and they had an unpleasant incident. After that, Yu Xiangan forgot about this person.
She works in a state-owned enterprise in the capital, so how come she is here?
And she was holding a man's hand.
Is she married?
Seeing Yu Xiangan, Ke Manyun's expression changed, and then she smiled brightly: "It turns out to be you, deputy class leader, long time no see."
Don't hit a smiling person. The unpleasantness at the beginning was not a serious problem. It was just that she had red eyes. Yu Xiangan didn't show anything on the spot: "Long time no see, weren't you in the capital? When did you come here?"
Ke Manyun: "I have been here for a short time, I didn't expect to meet you here by chance."
Lu Anran came over and took a look. "Did you meet someone you know?"
Yu Xiangan smiled and said, "I met my college classmate."
College classmates, this is a rather unfamiliar answer. It has been a long time since we graduated from college, which means that apart from being college classmates, we have no other relationship.
Lu Anran understood, and Ke Manyun also understood.
She looked a little disappointed and lowered her eyebrows, "Yes, we are college classmates. We haven't seen each other for a long time. We have been separated for so long that we have become strangers. It's time." The implication is that they used to have a good relationship, but because of distance and time, they became estranged.
The man next to her cleared his throat, "Won't you introduce us?"
Ke Manyun: "This is my college assistant classmate Yu Xiangan, and this is my wife, Li Zhimu, from Hong Kong."
Yu Xiangan nodded: "Hello."
Li Zhimu: "You are all classmates? Is this one also a classmate? I'm really curious, are all your classmates beautiful girls like you? It's a pity that I missed it. I should have gone to your school so that I could have met you earlier."
His sincere praise made Yu Xiangan take a closer look at him. He was not tall and was rather thin. He wore a pair of silver-rimmed glasses and looked gentle and refined. Yu Xiangan knew that the watch on his wrist cost tens of thousands of dollars.
Worth a lot of money.
Few women would be unhappy when being praised. Lu Anran smoothed her hair and said, "Then I will take what you said as true. I am Lu Anran and she is my cousin. Hello."
Liang Yuan came back from trying on the glasses at this time. She looked at Li Zhimu and called out hesitantly, "Is it you?"
"Mrs. Chen, what a coincidence! When did you come to the Special Administrative Region?"
The two of them knew each other before.
Moreover, Li Zhimu was very enthusiastic towards Liang Yuan, so enthusiastic that Ke Manyun's expression looked a little strange.
Liang Yuan is really a woman who makes women feel wary in their hearts.
Li Zhimu smiled warmly: "What a coincidence, we will have dinner soon, I will treat you to a meal, I know a hotel with good food, how about going to try it."
Coincidentally, this hotel is the one jointly owned by Yu Xiangan and Yu Mansheng.
Yu Xiangan came here and couldn't help laughing: "If you are talking about this one, I can't help but say it's a coincidence. This hotel is opened by my brother and I."
Li Zhimu and Liang Yuan were both stunned for a moment.
Li Zhimu: "What a coincidence, I've been there twice and the food is really good. It's my honor to have dinner with these two bosses. Do you have any special dishes?"
Yu Xiangan: "That's right, we need to use all our best skills..."
This time, Lu Anran was supposed to introduce Yu Xiangan and Liang Yuan to each other to see if there was any possibility of cooperation. But when he met Li Zhimu in the middle of the conversation, the topic changed.
Seeing how attentive and polite Li Zhimu was towards Liang Yuan, Ke Manyun could hardly maintain the smile on her lips.
Although he always called her Mrs. Chen, it shouldn't be a big deal, but this attitude...
Feeling uncomfortable, Ke Manyun became silent, but Li Zhimu didn't notice anything wrong with her silence.
Continue chatting with Liang Yuan and Yu Xiang'an.
The boss came and the kitchen staff was extremely alert. The dishes were served very quickly and we ate while talking.
Li Zhimu: "It tastes better than the last two times."
Liang Yuan also thought it was good: "I will definitely come back next time."
At the end of the talk, Liang Yuan revealed the main topic of the day: "A friend of mine sent me some information about some shower gels and shampoos that she researched. I tested them and they worked fine. I happened to be back in Hong Kong and wanted to build a factory in the SAR to specialize in producing shower gels and shampoos. What do you think?"
Hearing her say this, Li Zhimu pushed his glasses and couldn't help but smile: "What a coincidence, I just acquired a piece of land that is still vacant. If you have any use for it, please don't hesitate to ask me. I have wanted to enter this industry before. It would be great if Mrs. Chen could give me this opportunity."
Liang Yuan looked at Yu Xiangan: "What about you? I don't know what you think."
Yu Xiangan glanced at Li Zhimu: "I was also interested in making money, but I have a question..."
