Chapter 222 222
As long as they build and develop according to the plan Jiang Xi gave them, then perhaps in less than two years, the whole Wucheng will be greatly changed.
Jiang Bai needs to stay in Hangzhou for filming, but Jiang Xi does not need to. After filming with the crew for a while, Jiang Xi said goodbye to He Xiaofang and the others, left the crew with the mission of transforming his hometown, and returned to his hometown. After
returning to Wucheng, before going home, Secretary Song once again went to the station to warmly welcome him, and they returned to the county party committee compound together.
It was different from the last time when the son had to meet the object of the courteous reception of her parents. Last time, the identity was that of an elder, but this time it was not, but it was like facing his peers, and the attitude was very friendly and kind.
Originally, their family had already attached great importance to Jiang Wu, but they did not expect that this little girl had much more energy and ability than she had shown before. As soon as she came, she directly changed a city and its economy from the fundamental problem.
He invited Jiang Wu to Wucheng, of course, to hear Jiang Wu's specific words, many things cannot be explained clearly over the phone.
Jiang Wu talked about a series of aquatic economic promotion plans with Wugong Mountain as the core, and this time they talked more in detail.
Song Peifeng's mother also participated.
Song Peifeng's mother was not interested in working in the system, but was very interested in business. In the 1980s, she stopped working without pay and went into business with her friends. Therefore, the Song family was actually in very good economic condition, but they just kept a low profile.
If Wucheng was to be developed according to Jiang's plan, the money from closing down underground casinos and cracking down on women's trafficking would not be enough to build Wucheng. This would require financial support from Song's mother to open factories around Wucheng.
Song's mother had not done this before because people in small places had too strong a sense of grouping. If you were not a local, even if you came here to contract Shahe and cultivate pearls, the surrounding people might have taken away all the pearls when the pearls matured.
These things must be done by local people with enough weight and influence. Song's mother only invested in shares, and the shares could not be in her own name.
She immediately proposed that all the shares she invested in should be in Jiang Xi's name.
According to the new marriage law, this would mean giving Jiang Xi's pre-marital property. From this, we can see that Song's father and mother are satisfied with and trust her.
However, Jiang Xi still refused with a smile. She didn't plan to participate in the series of construction benefits in her hometown, which made Song's mother admire her even more.
It must be said that Song's father and mother also added a lot of points for Jiang Xi.
People are not afraid of dealing with smart people, but they are afraid of encountering fools who can't figure things out.
After leaving Wucheng, Jiang Xi and Song Peifeng separated at the Shuibu Town Pier, and Jiang Xi took a boat back to his hometown again.
Different from the disappointment she felt the last time she returned to her hometown, this time she returned with a complacent and enthusiastic mood. The excitement and satisfaction of being able to change the local economy through her own efforts and making a city better because of her participation and efforts completely overwhelmed the occasional disappointment in her heart.
She stood at the bow, the cold wind brought by the boat blew her hair back in disorder. As soon as she arrived at the embankment of Xujia Village, Jiang Guotai and Mayor Jiang were waiting here early, and also waiting here with him were his son Jiang Xin and daughter Jiang Miao. As soon as he saw Jiang Xiao, he opened his arms, greeted Jiang Xiao, patted her on the back, his eyes full of admiration and praise for the younger generation in his family, and said: "I "My daughter is getting prettier and prettier. Not to mention the surrounding area, there is no one in the whole city of Wu who is more outstanding than my daughter! The whole city is full of spiritual energy, it is really the whole city, and it is concentrated in one person, Xiaoxiao!"
This is not an exaggeration by Jiang Guotai, but he truly feels so. In Jiang Guotai's opinion, he has never seen a better generation than Jiang Xiao, Jiang Bai, and his own two children and future daughter-in-law.
He was also never stingy with praise and recognition for this point, and often praised his younger generations in public. Shen Hongyun was always speechless when hearing this, and complained: "You can brag if you want, but why do you praise your own children like this? Won't others laugh at you?"
Jiang Guotai would smile with great satisfaction and say proudly: "Why can't I brag? Facts are facts!"
Everyone he knew knew that he had a younger generation named Jiang Gui who was studying at Peking University.
Jiang Guotai had known that Jiang Xi had brought a boyfriend back home in the past two days. He wanted to ask her what was going on, what the boy was like, and where he was from, but many people were out watching, so he couldn't ask. He could only suppress his doubts in his heart and wait for Jiang Xi to arrive at Jiang's house and ask her behind closed doors.
Jiang Xi, who was getting taller and taller, walked among the crowd. Her vigorous spirit made her look like she was glowing, and she could be seen at a glance.
This time, there were more migrant workers returning to their hometowns for the New Year, and many young people came to their doors to look at Jiang Xi.
Many of them were away from home and had not experienced the flood in their hometown, nor had they seen Jiang Xi's efforts to fight the flood and provide disaster relief. But after returning, everyone's topic was about Jiang Xi and Jiang Bai, the two siblings from the Linhe Brigade of Jiangjia Village.
Needless to say, Jiang Bai, "The King's Guard" is the most popular TV series this year since "Little Swallow". It was so popular that even Jiang's father, who was far away in Shenzhen, heard about it.
The evening broadcast time of "The King's Guard" just conflicted with their lunch box selling time, which was their busiest time. When they finished their work, packed up their stalls and went home, the TV series was over.
The next day, they were busy watching the reruns and had no time to watch the drama. When Jiang's father heard Jiang Guotai calling him and saying that his two children were very successful but he could not see them, he was itching to buy a TV. Jiang's mother opposed it. Jiang's mother mainly thought that they were too busy to watch TV and it was a waste of money to buy a TV.
Jiang's father was very angry about Jiang's mother's opposition. When he was about to return home at the end of the year, he had to buy a mobile phone and put it on his waist. He returned with a proud face.
Jiang's mother was also very nervous about this newly bought mobile phone.
Didn't she want to show off and hide it? It was because they stole too much. Showing off their wealth was a death sentence. In the future, thieves would come to patronize them endlessly. It was not
until they arrived at Shuibu Town that they felt relieved to take out their own cell phones, put a cell phone bag on their belts, put the cell phones in the bag, and hung them on their belts.
In the freezing winter, Jiang's father had to wear two more sweaters and leave his coat and down jacket open. He has maintained a pretty good figure over the years and has not gained weight. He has no belly, but he has to show off his cell phone on his waist.
Jiang's father now envies others who gain weight in middle age and have a general's belly. That high general's belly is sticking out, and the cell phone hanging on the waist is so obvious!
During the Spring Festival this year, there were a lot of people making phone calls. Anyone who had a cell phone would take out their cell phone and make calls loudly in a thunderous voice.
Jiang's father was no exception. He stood on the most crowded platform and shouted, "Hey! My eldest nephew is getting married on the 26th of the lunar year. Are you coming to the wedding?"
"Yes, yes, I bought a cell phone. You can remember the number and call me later!"
"Yes, yes, I bought a cell phone! I didn't get rich, but everyone got rich!"
He called all the relatives, and those who didn't know thought it was his son getting married.
He also successfully let all the relatives know that Jiang Guoping bought a cell phone! Everyone also knew the cell phone number.
Even the people in Jiangjia Village looked at Jiang Dad like a foreign spectacle, knowing that the big guy was really rich. Not only did he build such a big house, but he also bought a cell phone. Those who looked down on him in the past because he owed a huge amount of foreign debt and thought he was useless in their hearts gathered around him again, complimenting Jiang Dad in various ways, mainly bragging that he had a pair of good children.
"During the summer vacation, your daughter Xiaoxiao loaded several boatloads of rice and clothes and distributed them to people in your hometown. It must have cost tens of thousands of yuan!"
Some people couldn't stand seeing Jiang's father showing off so much, and said sourly: "Your family is really rich. Your son is on TV and your daughter is a spendthrift. You and your wife are capable. You built such a big house and then just sit back and wait to have grandchildren!"
Jiang Guoping still doesn't know what happened to the materials donated by Jiang Xiao. He still doesn't know that those materials were donated by Jiang Xiao personally. He thought that she organized students from Peking University to raise funds in society and was led to her hometown by Jiang Xiao.
He smiled and said, "My hometown was hit by a disaster, and I was thinking about the elders and folks in my hometown. I organized people to come back to help with the disaster relief. That was to build my hometown and give back to my hometown. It was what I should do."
Jiang's mother felt a little complicated. In the past, these people praised her eldest son, saying that Jiang Song was so handsome and would have a bright future.
Now no one mentioned Jiang Song anymore. They only praised her youngest son Jiang Bai and her youngest daughter Jiang Qing.
She never thought that the villagers were praising her for her good fortune, which was brought to her by her youngest son and daughter who had always been unknown.
Especially Jiang Bai.
Jiang Guoping and his family have just returned two days ago. This year is different from last year. This year is more lively. Even though his children are not at home, there are constant guests at home. They all come to visit his big house and praise his son Jiang Bo. Many people want to visit Jiang Bo up close.
Jiang Bo was good enough when he filmed the movie "White Snake", but movies are not as popular as TV series. So many people just heard that Jiang Bo filmed a movie, but they don't know much about it. After all, not every village has its own movie theater where you can watch movies for free during the New Year.
But "The King's Guard" is different. In this era without much entertainment, TV series on TV are all the entertainment for ordinary people.
So all the relatives and friends of the Jiang family knew that the silent, cold and loyal male second in "The Commander of the Imperial Guards" who only cared about the commander but loved him but couldn't say it out loud was Jiang Bai. Jiang
Bai in the play was handsome to a new level.
After all, his character is good, and he is really young and handsome!
Jiang's father has been praised by everyone these days, and the smile on his face has never come down. The same is true for Jiang's mother. They made a little more money this year than last year. Jiang's father bought himself a mobile phone and wanted to buy Jiang's mother a gold necklace. Jiang's mother couldn't bear to spend money, so she bought herself a pair of gold earrings to wear on her ears.
She actually wanted to buy a gold necklace, but she had gotten used to being frugal over the years. Seeing that she had worked so hard all year, she was reluctant to spend the money on a gold necklace that she could neither eat nor wear.
Jiang Xiao and his friends were still walking on the embankment, and the villagers saw Jiang Xiao and Jiang Guotai from a distance and said, "Xing Xiao is back!"
"Hey, big guy, your Xiao Xiao is back!"
"Hey, Guotai went to pick her up in person!"
"He's a very busy man, and it's rare for him to come back to the village, and he went to pick up Xiao Xiao in person!"
Who in the village doesn't know how amazing Jiang Guotai is? He quietly contracted three large sand factories. No one had any news about them. But large cargo ships were sailing on the surface of their sand river, taking away hundreds of ships' worth of river sand every day. It
was useless for others to be jealous. Jiang Guotai didn't care if anyone in the surrounding villages had to pick up river sand to build a house. As long as you didn't drive a tractor to pull sand, he didn't care about the sand for your own house building.
Many people in the neighborhood who didn't go out to work this year and were affected by the disaster went to work in his sand factory. He wanted them all and treated them very well. Not only were they provided with food, but they also had meat every meal.
So all the sand diggers in his sand factory were villagers from the surrounding villages.
Jiang Guotai said, "I, Jiang Guotai, am from Jiangjia Village, Linhe Brigade. Jiang Liu is my niece. My niece is like that, and I, Jiang Guotai, am like that. You all watched me grow up. When have I ever treated people from my hometown badly? We are fellow villagers. We make money together and eat meat together! When our sand factory is built, I will repair the road from Shijian Township to the neighboring city for you, so that fellow villagers will not suffer from the mud!"
"But if outsiders come to contract our sand factory, how will they treat you? Will they hire you to dig sand? Will they provide meat every day like I do? Will they be willing to build roads for our hometown like I do? How many of you fellow villagers present here have worked outside? What did you eat outside? What did I, Jiang Guotai, give you to eat?"
He was a man who was very good at winning people's hearts. If he gave out a little bit of benefit, the villagers in the surrounding villages would take the initiative to protect Jiang Guotai. If outsiders wanted to come in and seize the sand factory, Jiang Guotai would have the support of hundreds of people here, and it would be impossible.
As a result, Jiang Guotai's influence in the area increased rapidly. He could be said to be the most influential person in the area. Anyone who heard Jiang Guotai's name would give him some respect. If they were related to Jiang Guotai, it would be even more amazing.
Many people in the village didn't really understand how much Jiang Guotai valued Jiang Liu. In their opinion, even if Jiang Liu was a college student, a student from Peking University, and worked as a civil servant with a stable job, it was impossible for him to become the mayor right after graduation, right? When Mayor Jiang came back, he never went to pick her up in person. But Liu Liu, a little girl, a junior, actually took his big car and asked him to pick her up in person.
But when they saw Jiang Xi, they were all extremely warm and polite, and they all shouted affectionately: "Xi Xi is back?"
"College students are really different!"
"She is so tall, just like her father!"
The friends who had played with Jiang Xi when they were young, and later went to school and worked part-time, all stood in their own yards and watched from a distance, not daring to get close.
Some were already engaged and would get married at the end of the year or the beginning of the year.
Jiang Guotai waited until the crowd dispersed before he took his two children to the living room upstairs in the Jiang family.
Jiang's mother and Shen Hongyun prepared dinner downstairs, and Jiang's father prepared a fruit plate and went upstairs to listen to them talk.
Jiang's father originally wanted to come up and hear Jiang Guotai bragging about his daughter, but it turned out that was not the case at all. They talked about serious matters.
First, Jiang Guotai talked to Jiang Liu about the division of tea land this year: "By the end of November, all the tea leaves have been planted, and the first batch of tea leaves will be harvested next year. You mentioned before that you would participate in a tea expo, and this is what I think."
Jiang Guotai had unconsciously put Jiang Liu on an equal footing, or even a higher position, and asked: "Aren't there people from CCTV coming to film 'Wugong Tea'? We should keep some of this year's Mingqian tea for ourselves, The rest will be given away, and everyone in the CCTV crew will get ten kilograms."
Jiang Xi emphasized, "The packaging must be exquisite, with a 'logo' that is unique to our Wugong Mountain, highlighting the five great sages of our Wugong Mountain, and writing the stories of the five great sages of Wugong Mountain and their relationship with Wugong Tea on the back of the packaging."
Jiang Miao said, "I'll take care of this, I know someone who's professional in art."
Jiang Guotai didn't know what a logo was, but he still understood the general meaning of what Jiang Xi said.
If Jiang Xi hadn't mentioned it, who among the people present would have thought of such a detailed issue?
Jiang Guotai took notes and continued, "My opinion is that we should send it to the people at CCTV first. Weren't these Wugong Mountain specialties promoted in CCTV TV dramas? After the promotion effect comes, we will send this year's new tea to the city leaders and tell them that this is the tea that the central leaders are drinking and that has been promoted on CCTV."
Jiang Xi said, "It would be best to take the Wugong tea from our mountain to a professional testing agency for testing, and make a horizontal comparison of the specific amino acid content and other elements beneficial to the body in the Wugong tea from Wugong Mountain with other similar teas. We not only need to create a brand effect, but also have specific scientific data to let people know more intuitively what is good and expensive about our Wugong Mountain's Wugong tea."
Several people were taking notes again.
Father Jiang, who had come up with a fruit plate just to listen to the boasting, suddenly stood there in silence.
It was as if a barrier had been silently erected between them and him. He had been pulled back and could not fit in. He did not participate in many things.
Then Jiang Guotai talked about the planting of lotus roots on the river beach.
"Now it is not realistic to plant such a large river beach artificially with the funds of the brigade. This year, in order to invite experts to inspect and purchase suitable tea varieties, the money of the villagers was basically used to buy tea trees. It is difficult to ask them to pay for planting such a large lotus on the river beach." Jiang Guotai said.
This is indeed a problem.
Jiang Guotai said, "I have discussed this with your fourth uncle and your aunt. Do you think this will work? Forget about letting the brigade collectively contract this river beach. I will personally invest and contract it."
Although the three sand factories did not start construction until the floods in the second half of the year receded, the sand factories were natural gold mines. He was also contracting highway construction projects in the neighboring city. All the people he came into contact with had connections in this area. The money he made from the sand factories in the second half of the year alone was several million.
Among these millions, excluding the one hundred thousand invested by Jiang's father, his net profit was still three or four million.
This was just the beginning. As the river sand from his sand factories was sold more and more widely, he would make more money in the future.
He said, "I don't want any shares in this contracted beach. I'll put it in the names of you, Jiang Xin, and Jiang Miao. You get 40%, and Jiang Xin and Jiang Miao each get 30%. "
Seeing that Jiang Xiao was about to refuse again, Jiang Guotai stretched out his hand to interrupt her and continued, "You can say no, but as an uncle I have to give it to you." He raised his head and said to Jiang Xin and Jiang Miao, "Don't think that dad gave Xiao Xiao more and you less. Let me tell you something. Without Xiao Xiao, there would be no three sand factories of mine, no tea mountain land distribution, and no so-called beach contracting. You can't see anything now, but in the future, you all must remember to thank Xiao Xiao for what she did to us today. The contribution and promotion from my hometown, the shares I gave to Xiaoxiao, although it is not written in black and white, but Xiaoxiao is Xiaoxiao, you must remember this. "
Thinking of the daughter of the former team leader Jiang Changhe, Jiang Guotai said: "Remember, you will always be close brothers and sisters. To the outside world, we can only stick together and work together. There is no point in fighting at home. If you want to fight, fight with people outside." He looked at Jiang Xin and Jiang Miao with a stern look: "Do you understand?"
Jiang Xin has been with Jiang Guotai since he was a child, so he understands these. Jiang Miao is a little naive, but they all listen to Jiang Guotai's words and nodded when they heard it.
Jiang Guotai continued to say to Jiang Xiao: "Don't be anxious, listen to me."
"I have heard you propose to your fourth uncle that Yaoba Town should be built into a tourist town integrating tourism, leisure and entertainment, cultivating pearls and aquatic products. In fact, it is not only your fourth uncle's Yaoba Town that has these conditions. The conditions of our Linhe Brigade are no worse than those of Yaoba Town."
Although Yaoba Town has a natural geographical advantage because it is very close to Wucheng, their Linhe Brigade is located right between Wucheng and the neighboring city. It is only two or three hours' drive from the provincial capital. Shuibu Town is an important artery for water transportation. Although the land roads of Linhe Brigade are not so good, the waterways are quite developed. Whether it is leading to Shuibu Town or the neighboring city, as long as there is a boat, it will be fine.
Their Linhe Brigade has one more advantage over Yaoba Town. The mountain stream in Shijian Township is only five miles away from their Jiangjia Village. If this tourist spot is developed, it will actually be more "fun" than the flat waterway in Yaoba Town.
Jiang Guotai said: "According to your plan, the river beach can not only plant lotus, but also pearls, crabs, and even the crayfish you mentioned, which can actually be turned into an ecological zone. When the time comes, I will also contract the mountain stream in Shijian Township, and then build a farmhouse leisure tourism resort integrating rafting, lotus pond, fishing, and lobster."
The concept of farmhouse was proposed to him by Jiang Qian. Otherwise, how could he, a person who grew up in the countryside and yearned for the big city, think of farmhouses?
Now it is very easy to contract these things that no one wants. Can you make money from these useless things? The township government and the town government may be eager to package these river beaches and mountain streams for Jiang Guotai.
It might be difficult in a few years.
The only person who has enough funds to accomplish this and can still keep it is Jiang Guotai.
Jiang Guotai is different from Mayor Jiang. As a member of the system, Mayor Jiang cares about the economic development of the town or even the county, and he really cares about the people.
As a businessman, Jiang Guotai is very selfish. He cares more about the interests of the Jiangjia Village family and himself. So when Jiang Qi was planning the future development prospects of Yaoba Town for Mayor Jiang, he was already thinking about making Jiangjia Village a tourist leisure area like Yaoba Town.
He even wanted to get ahead of Yaoba Town and build up the tourism and leisure industrial park of Linhe Brigade to make a name for himself.
Jiang Xi wanted to let his hometown people make money, but Jiang Guotai wanted to make money for himself and his people.
Such a big hen that lays golden eggs only needs some investment in the early stage, and there will be a steady stream of income in the future. Why should he let others do it?
In the past, he had to compete with others for projects. It was a battle of wits and courage. Those who were not very smart could not get the project. Now his eldest niece has put the golden chicken in front of him, but he still gave it to others. Jiang Guotai, who already knows how hard it is to make money outside, how can he bear to give up this huge cake?
Yaoba Town is very close to Wucheng and can attract tourists from nearby Wucheng, but their Linhe Brigade is also very close to neighboring cities and counties.
He continued, "Then I will open a tea processing factory, a lotus root powder processing factory and a pearl processing factory in our village." When
these factories are established, they will give priority to hiring people from their hometown, not only from Shuibu Town and Shijian Township, but even from more towns and villages. With these factories as the center, his interests and those of all the villagers will be further brought together.
As for the people in the more core Jiangjia Village, the large rice fields along the river beach that Jiang Guotai did not contract are the way for the people in Jiangjia Village to make money.
If the villagers get jealous and want to get involved, those rice fields, whether they are raising lobsters or something else, will all gather around Jiang Guotai, and everyone will make money and get rich, but it is just a matter of how much they make.
According to Jiang Liu's plan, in the future, almost every household in Jiangjia Village will be able to live a life with an annual income of one million.
In Jiang Guotai's plan, there are also some tea-related drinks, which he also wants to try, but you have to eat one bite at a time and walk one step at a time.
What he had to do now was to contract the endless river beach and the mountainous area of Shijian Township, which was less than five miles away from them, so as to form a complete leisure and entertainment farmhouse industry chain.
He stood in front of the window, looking at the large river beach and river outside, pointing his arm outside and said, "I will build a pier there and open a special line from Linhe Brigade to the neighboring city to pick up tourists." He turned to look at Jiang Xi, his eyes full of ambition, and then smiled at Jiang Xi in a very friendly way: "Xixi, do you think your uncle's idea is feasible?"
Jiang Xi did not expect that she only proposed a construction plan, and Jiang Guotai could immediately grasp these and start to act in a planned manner.
With such strong action and courage, Jiang Guotai really deserves to be the richest man in the neighboring city in this era.
Thinking that he even wanted to contract the mountain in Shijian Township, Jiang Xi said: "Since we have contracted the mountain in Shijian Township, why not contract the mountain tops as well? We can grow tea on the mountain tops here. If the mountain tops in the neighboring township are not suitable for growing tea, we can raise free-range chickens and build a mountain mansion on the mountain."
She remembered that it was not until 20 years later that someone thought of the value of the mountain top next door and developed it into a tourist area, raising various free-range chickens and edible peacocks in the mountain.
It's a pity that there is no hot spring in their area, otherwise they could build a hot spring villa. In addition, it is close to the beach, so they can go rafting in the summer, and a group of people can drive down to the river beach to fish, pick lotus, pick water chestnuts, cut water caltrops, eat fresh river food, crabs, and lobsters, and experience tea picking and speedboat surfing on the river in spring.
"By the way, uncle, don't you have three large sand factories now? We can also build an artificial beach here, and then arrange some slides, swings and other recreational facilities that children like to play, and arrange a beach for children to play, so as to attract family tour groups mainly composed of children!" In this regard, Jiang Guotai, who owns three large sand factories, has a huge advantage over others.
Jiang Guotai's eyes lit up, and he directed his two children: "Did you hear that? Write it down! Write it down quickly!"
This series of construction is estimated to cost a lot of money.
But Jiang Guotai, who contracted three large sand factories and had a lot of money after the floods receded, now has nothing but a lot of money!
