Chapter 280 Villagers’ Meeting (4)
"Do you think what Comrade Oda said is good?"
The leader laughed "Haha", but his tone of voice was full of energy.
When the people below saw him smiling, they immediately relaxed a lot.
"Okay!" Someone took the lead in responding.
Then, most people started to say: "It's fine!"
"Then do you all believe what she said just now, that the village committee should support everyone in starting their own businesses?" the leader asked again.
"Believe it! Why wouldn't you? Xinxin always keeps her word. How many things has she done for us? When has she ever lied?"
"that is!"
"Leader, what does this mean?"
Several villagers spoke to the leader half-jokingly and half-seriously, and the atmosphere on the wheat field instantly eased a lot.
The leader didn't get angry, and continued, "So, if the village committee can't come up with the money, will you still believe it?"
"Even if the village committee can't come up with the money, we won't make it difficult for Xinxin." A villager said: "Xinxin was the one who paved the way for us to make money by opening an online store. If she said it could make money, she would definitely not let us down.
As for the start-up capital, if we can come up with it ourselves, we can start right away! If we can't, and Murakami is willing to support us, then we can do it too. If Murakami can't support us, then at worst we can just put it off for a bit! We can start when we have the money!"
As soon as these words were spoken, there was a chorus of agreement from the audience.
"that is!"
"Yes!"
"That's the truth!"
When the leader heard this, he was immediately happy: "Okay!"
He shouted loudly and began to talk non-stop: "They say the villagers are simple and honest. Today, I see that it is indeed true. It seems that Director Tian has done an excellent job!"
He turned around, glanced at Tian Fushun with a smile, and continued, "Since Xiaotian has promised us and paved such a path to prosperity for us, we must not let him down. We must work hard! We will strive to get out of poverty as soon as possible and build your Xiaowan Village into a better, more beautiful, and more complete place. What do you all say?"
"Good..." The audience applauded.
The leader continued, "Before coming here, I learned that the website where you opened your online store is a local enterprise. As a local enterprise in Huayuan County, and as an emerging industry like online stores, it can encourage villagers to spread our local specialties and culture to all parts of the country through the Internet. This is a remarkable thing in itself."
Therefore, the county has decided to allocate a portion of funds specifically for this purpose to resolve your current situation. Families in need should report directly to Xiaotian.
The village committee will purchase all the necessary equipment, including the internet, for the online store. As for the registered capital, everyone can pool their money. If you really can't come up with enough, Xiaotian—"
The leader suddenly called on me: "Aren't you familiar with these?"
"Uh...yes!" Tian Xin replied.
"Go find the person in charge of this website. With so many people registering at the same time, see if they have any policies that benefit the people," said the leader.
Tian Xin was stunned and didn't react at the moment: "Oh...oh..."
At this moment, Lin Zhou suddenly stood up from the crowd and shouted to the front: "Don't look for me anymore, I'm right here!"
These words were like a thunderclap, and as soon as they came out, everyone's eyes were instantly focused on him.
He lowered his head, walked out of the crowded crowd, walked slowly forward, and went to the front.
"Hello, leaders!" He bowed to the group of leaders and nodded, saying, "I am Lin Zhou, the general manager of the 'Chang'an Avenue' website."
"Lin Zhou?"
Tian Fushun was stunned: "You are not the one from last time..."
"It's me! You read that right!" Lin Zhou said, "I'm here to help everyone solve the problem with Tian Xin!"
"So it's you, kid?" One of the leaders suddenly laughed and greeted Lin Zhou: "I knew it! Why are you here?"
Everyone was stunned and turned around to look at the person who spoke.
Lin Zhou quickly stepped forward and shook hands with the man: "Uncle Li!"
This person was Li Changan, who had come to issue the appointment letter to Tian Xin before. Lin Zhou had come to the village committee with him last time.
Seeing everyone staring at him, Li Changan quickly explained with a smile: "Oh, this is the grandson of one of my father's comrades-in-arms. We have some contact with him on a daily basis. He is a promising young man!"
"Oh? Really?"
After hearing what Li Changan said, the leader looked Lin Zhou up and down: "You just said that you are the person in charge of that website?"
"Yes, hello!"
Lin Zhou hurried over and bowed to the leader again. Then he stepped forward and shook hands with each of the leaders one by one.
"I heard that your website mainly absorbs and sells our local products?"
After sitting down, the leading leader asked Lin Zhou.
Tian Xin didn't react for a moment. When did Lin Zhou come?
Lin Zhou had already started talking to the leaders over there.
"Yes, the purpose of creating this website is to promote the culture of our ancient city," he said. "As the ancient capital of 13 dynasties, many people don't know much about us. That makes it difficult for dried persimmons, Sichuan peppercorns, Hanfu clothing, and our ancient city's history to spread abroad."
"Hmm! You are indeed young and promising..."
The leader looked at Lin Zhou with admiration and said with a smile, "Since the purpose is to promote our local culture and products, don't be too restrained. Take a long-term view. For villages like Xiaowan that are willing to invest their entire resources, the conditions will be relaxed appropriately. If this village can achieve success, the county will encourage other villages and towns to follow suit. Then, your business will also prosper!"
"Yes, yes, you are right!"
Lin Zhou nodded repeatedly and behaved like a cat in front of all the leaders.
"This time, I came here to see if anyone has any difficulties or needs help," he said. "Since the county is so supportive of villagers starting their own businesses, as a local enterprise, we certainly have an obligation to help."
At this point, he turned to look at Tian Xin, then at the crowd below. He solemnly said to the leader, "This time, all villagers who register businesses on the website will be exempt from all registration fees. After registration, if the store's performance is poor, no fees will be charged for the first three months, and a certain amount of exposure support will be provided until the performance stabilizes."
He said these words to his leader in a low voice.
However, the hundreds of people in the entire wheat field were silent at this moment, and they all listened attentively from the moment he started speaking to the leader.
By this point, every word of the conversation between the two had been heard by everyone without missing a word.
As soon as he finished speaking, the wheat field erupted in applause, accompanied by some villagers' exclamations of "good, good." It was like thunderclaps from the blue sky, booming and exploding, and lasting for a long time.
The people above were startled, and when they realized what was happening, they also started clapping.
Lin Zhou stood up and bowed to the crowd again. When he turned around, Tian Xin was not far behind him, giving him a thumbs-up.
Then, as he smiled calmly, she quickly changed her gestures and silently said something to him. This time, Lin Zhou didn't understand...
