"Okay, Chairman! I'll get on it right away!"
Mu Xia and the others left the conference room.
Only Lu Yiming remained, looking utterly dejected.
Damn it.
Why is it so hard to lose money?
With a bitter expression, Lu Yiming opened the news, hoping to find some inspiration from it.
"Shocking! Random inspections by the testing department have revealed that pesticide residues in fruits and vegetables at a certain supermarket far exceed safety standards!"
"This year, we have encountered a once-in-a-century drought, and agriculture in Shanghai and the surrounding areas of Jiangsu Province has suffered an unprecedented blow! Vegetable prices in supermarkets have begun to skyrocket!"
"This year, farmers' income is expected to decrease by 30% compared to previous years, leading countless farmers to abandon farming and leaving large areas of farmland uncultivated, which indirectly causes the prices of grain and vegetables to continue to rise!"
...
Lu Yiming was dumbfounded.
These news items are put together.
Why can't he understand?
With rising food prices, farmers' incomes should increase!
Why did it actually decrease?
Having no other choice, Lu Yiming called Mu Xia back again.
"Mu Xia, what do you think?"
Lu Yiming handed over the phone.
Mu Xia was also dumbfounded.
If you ask her questions about finance or economics, she can answer them fluently.
But if you ask that, you're putting them in a difficult position.
Mu Xia has never even been to a rice paddy in her entire life.
How could anyone possibly understand the relationship here?
"It's alright, you can hire a car tomorrow and we'll go to the countryside to take a look."
"What about inspecting affordable housing?"
"Let someone else from the company do it."
"Okay!"
...
Another day of role swapping has come to an end.
Lu Yiming returned to his luxurious mansion in Tomson Riviera, poured himself a glass of red wine, looked at the camera, pondered for a moment, and said:
"I still maintain that I believe my profits today are all the hard-earned money of ordinary people."
I was just lucky for a while.
But that doesn’t mean I’ll be lucky forever. I won’t let those 10 billion yuan just sit in the company’s accounts!
I want to take all this money out so that more ordinary workers can benefit!
That's how we make the most of every penny we earn!
...
Meanwhile, on Chen Tai's side...
Chen Tai sat on the cold, hard iron chair.
At that moment, he finally realized that something was wrong!
"Help! You fucking have to come save me!" Chen Tai screamed frantically at the location of the hidden camera on his body.
"Director! Come quick! Come and get me out of here! I don't want to stay here!"
Director! Aren't you going to abandon me?!
But unfortunately.
Chen Tai has broken the law this time!
Even the production team dared not forcibly bail them out anymore!
Chen Tai can only shed tears behind bars for now.
...
the next day.
Lu Yiming got up very early.
I left Shanghai in a private car.
Heading directly towards Jiangxi Province.
"Chairman, these are a few villages I've contacted for you. They all have people to receive you. Which one would you like to visit?" Mu Xia handed over a list.
"Huh? Reception? Reception for what?" Lu Yiming was dumbfounded.
"Hmm... This is also a common practice. Usually, wealthy people in Shanghai go to the countryside under the guise of donating money to schools."
"That's why these village chiefs are very hospitable," Mu Xia explained.
Lu Yiming chuckled silently.
To put it bluntly, it's all about the money.
However, Jiangxi Province is a well-known developed region.
Even in the village, almost every household has a small villa.
There's absolutely no need to donate money.
Moreover, no one can say for sure how much of this donation will actually be put to practical use.
"We're not going to any of them! We'll treat this as a vacation! If we're going to see something, we should see the real situation."
As for any enthusiastic hospitality towards these random people, there's absolutely no need!
"OK."
The car continued driving towards Jiangxi Province.
You know what, the infrastructure in Jiangxi Province is really good.
The entire journey was on a very smooth cement road.
Moreover, the scenery along the way is beautiful and refreshing.
After walking quite a distance, Lu Yiming saw an old man and a young man sitting on the edge of a paddy field in the distance, looking worried.
"Stop the car! Let's go take a look," Lu Yiming said.
The car stopped by the roadside, and Lu Yiming got out with a pack of cigarettes in his hand.
The old man was watching his grandson play in the fields when he saw Lu Yiming and his group arrive in a luxury car, and he stood up in surprise.
"Hello, sir. We're just passing by. Can we ask you something?" Lu Yiming casually offered him a cigarette and lit it for him.
The best way for Chinese people to get close to others when they go out is simply to offer each other cigarettes.
Seeing how polite Lu Yiming was, the old man naturally couldn't refuse, so he took the cigarette and took a couple of puffs.
My eyes lit up!
Good cigarette!
"Boss, you're too kind. Please feel free to ask me anything."
"How's the harvest this year?" Lu Yiming pointed to the golden rice paddies next to him.
"well."
It would have been better if you hadn't mentioned it, because the old man started sighing as soon as the topic came up.
"Oh no, the sun is too strong, it's almost killing the rice."
Look, there's no water in the rice paddies now, and the water on the mountain is almost dried up. Where can we find water?
We now irrigate our rice paddies with tap water to prevent the rice from drying out.
But look how expensive tap water is these days!
"I grow one acre of rice, and the money I earn in a year isn't even enough to cover the cost of watering it with tap water just once!"
