Chapter 926 The Troubles of Zhoushui Village's Richest Man
"Mom and Dad, I'm back."
Having not been home for a long time, Zhou Anan came to the factory at the entrance of the village and saw her parents who were busy at work. She greeted them enthusiastically.
He didn't go home the first two times he went back to Lizhou. So, apart from the constant phone contact, it has been more than four months since he was last at home during the Chinese New Year.
Thanks to his mother's booming online store business, she no longer has to urge him to go home all the time like in his previous life, and he would be disliked after being home for three days.
"Finally I remembered to come back. There's watermelon in the refrigerator. Go get it yourself."
Zhou Youliang, who was helping to load the goods, glanced at his son, pointed casually towards the office, and then got busy again. There was a look of relief in his eyes that no one else noticed.
Like most fathers in the world, Zhou Youliang missed his son so much that he just urged his wife to call his son every other day to say hello. He would occasionally interject a few words, but he never showed it so obviously.
"Son, have you had lunch yet?"
As a mother, Wang Jingyu is the first person to be concerned about her son’s diet.
“I’ve eaten in the city.”
Zhou Anan went to the office refrigerator and took out half a watermelon. She took a small spoon and started eating it. She walked outside to watch her parents work and answered their questions casually.
Originally, Zhou Anan could go home in August because she was doing graduation thesis design experiments at school, but it seemed a bit inappropriate for her to come back quietly today.
After briefly checking on his mother whose business was booming, Zhou Anan looked at the scorching sun outside and took a nap at home.
The sun sets in the west, and although the heat is still quite strong, it has subsided a lot.
After dinner, Zhou Anan walked around the village and found that the environment and sanitation had indeed improved a lot. Even the river water was much clearer, a bit like when he was a child.
I guess that elementary school classmate spent a lot of effort on this.
However, the fact that the village has undergone such changes is enough to show that his elementary school classmates who listened to his advice have gained considerable prestige in the village.
"Dad, drive the car for me. I'm going to the city."
After returning home, Zhou Anan found her father who was busy at the factory and asked for the car keys.
Although Xiao Ping is available to pick her up at any time, Zhou Anan doesn't want to be sneaky, so she thinks it's better to drive her father's car back and forth openly.
Driving a mid- or low-end car occasionally is also a unique way to reminisce.
"Be careful on the road."
Taking out his Audi car key, Zhou Youliang gave some instructions.
After the previous experience, he was quite confident in his son's driving skills.
"knew."
After taking the somewhat rough Audi A4 car key, Zhou Anan drove to Zijin Sunshine in the city.
After a quick rinse in the bathing area, Zhou Anan went upstairs to a large room and met her elementary school classmate who had been waiting for a long time.
"An An, have some tea."
Seeing his elementary school classmate coming over, Zhou Xiaoke warmly invited him to sit down at the tea table and personally poured tea for him.
Since transferring the electric car store, Zhou Xiaoke has had more free time and has slowly learned many elegant hobbies, tea making being one of them.
Both Zijin Sunshine and Audi 4S store have a special tea room to receive important guests.
"You have a very comfortable life."
Taking a look at this specially renovated teahouse, Zhou Anan smiled and joked.
"It's just so-so. I'll just do it casually."
After chatting for a while, Zhou Xiaoke asked the other party a serious question: "How do we reform the cooperative you mentioned?"
After listening to the advice of his elementary school classmate, Zhou Xiaoke spent more than half a year to completely change the appearance of Zhoushui Village. The environmental sanitation has been improved by several levels and he has also received commendations from city leaders.
During this process, Zhou Xiaoke also dealt with some troublemakers who were dissatisfied with him and established considerable authority in the village.
To give an example, if Zhou Xiaoke shouts in the village radio room that the river will be cleaned up tomorrow, he can immediately gather a team of hundreds of people, and of course not a penny less in salary.
With such a foundation, Zhou Xiaoke felt that he had met the first-stage requirements that his elementary school classmates had told him about, and felt that he could enter the second stage of village chief, integrating the resources of the entire village and opening up new situations.
"The current cooperative system is too loose and basically useless. If you want to implement the tourist town plan, you must get the support of the whole village. Reforming through a cooperative is the quickest way."
Looking at the ambitious village chief Zhou, Zhou Anan also explained to him the reform plan that she had asked someone to plan.
In fact, the core content is very simple, which is to let all the villagers invest, whether it is investing in farmland or investing in capital.
Once all villagers become real shareholders of the cooperative, there will not be much resistance to the construction of the tourist town.
In Zhou Anan's "plan", Zhoushui Village could choose to plagiarize the "sea of flowers" plan of the neighboring city many years later and build a hundred-acre flower field.
Build a sightseeing train and a colorful light show.
Make good use of the canals and rivers in the village and organize a rafting trip several kilometers long.
Afterwards, the old houses built after the founding of the People's Republic of China next to the village ancestral hall will be replaced by the cooperative, renovated, and built into a nostalgic homestay with the style of the 1950s.
Integrating entertainment, farm stays and accommodation, and taking advantage of the soon-to-be-opened Lizhou-Yiwu National Highway, Zhoushui Village will be built into a star village.
“This plan is simply”
After listening to his elementary school classmates’ stories, Zhou Xiaoke seemed to see the prosperous scene of Zhoushui Village with people coming and going. He was so excited that he didn’t know what words to use to express his excitement.
Being a village chief is not his ideal.
His life pursuit is to be a village chief who leads all villagers to prosperity and is admired by thousands of people.
"Don't get excited yet. The first phase of investment will cost at least 10 million. How are you going to do it?"
“That’s not easy”
Looking at the other person's appearance, Zhou Anan, who seemed to be able to guess what the other person was thinking, interrupted the other person and continued to pour cold water on him: "Don't say that you have to make up the difference yourself. If you say it's a cooperative, then every household in the village must invest. Otherwise, if you lose money, it's not a big deal. At most, the villager who voluntarily invested will scold you behind your back. If you really make money, those who didn't invest will definitely stab you in the back."
This is what it's like to work in a rural area where people's thinking is old-fashioned and conservative.
Laugh at the poor and envy the rich; what worries you is not the scarcity of wealth but the inequality of wealth.
No matter how much you consider everyone, as long as you do something wrong, there will be people nagging you behind your back.
Especially the restructuring of this cooperative, which involves huge investment, if not done properly, will end up causing trouble for the villagers.
Of course, Zhou Xiaoke has a big advantage, that is, he is very rich. He is the undisputed richest man in Zhoushui Village. The villagers all believe that he will not be greedy for the village collective's small money.
When it comes to being rich, even the middle-aged villagers of the previous generation who usually boast about mining outside and earning millions a year have to bow their heads in front of Zhou Xiaoke.
You see, the Lizhou Audi 4S store is always packed with people, and the monthly sales of Audi cars are more than the annual sales of an average county-level 4S store.
"You have to help me figure out a solution for this matter."
When Zhou Xiaoke heard this question raised by his elementary school classmate, he felt a headache and immediately threw the difficult problem to the other party.
It's really difficult for him, a man who hasn't even graduated from junior high school, to consider such a troublesome issue.
“.”
Unexpectedly, Village Chief Zhou reacted so quickly. Zhou Anan, who had the ball kicked back, was a little amused.
