Chapter 523: Selected as an outstanding representative (800.01 million)
"Shujie, this is too valuable."
Cao Zhen pushed it back, but Cao Shujie ignored him and put it directly into the net pocket under the baby stroller: "Cao Zhen, this is for my niece, not for you. What right do you have to refuse? If you have the ability, just let it go."
My niece refused on her own."
Cao Zhen looked at his daughter, not sure if it was because of the gift she received, but she was looking silly and happy.
Her hands and feet were dancing wildly, coupled with her pure smile, it seemed that it could melt people's hearts.
"Tsk, tsk, Cao Zhen, Cao Fei, look at how cute the little guy is. She knew I gave her a gift and she still smiled at me." Cao Shujie was very happy when he saw the little guy and wanted to hug her.
But she is young now, and since she has just come in from outside, she might have something dirty with her, so she'd better be careful.
Cao Zhen glanced at what Secretary Cao was carrying and asked him: "Are you here alone? Where are your wife and niece?"
"They are all at home. I told you earlier that I came here alone, but you still don't believe it." Cao Shujie said.
"This is not like your style." Cao Zhen also said to him.
"Let's go and sit in my shop. I'll arrange for the chef to cook some dishes later. Let's have two drinks at noon." Cao Zhen greeted them and walked into the shop.
"Look at the kids, who's looking after the store?"
Cao Shujie was puzzled and asked him: "Your wife?"
"Yes, she is watching."
Speaking of this matter, Cao Zhen was full of complaints: "Just a few months after giving birth, I asked her to rest for a while, but she was still unwilling. She said the rent was so high and she would panic whenever she was idle.
, might as well do more work."
He pointed at the little baby in the stroller: "If you think I'm an eyesore in there, let me come out to look after the baby."
Seeing his unlucky appearance, Cao Shujie and Cao Fei wanted to punch him.
"You've got all the good things going on, and you're still complaining. Why don't you go to heaven?" Cao Fei said to him.
Cao Zhen laughed: "No matter what happens, I will complain to you."
Cao Zhen took them into the store. As soon as they entered, Cao Shujie saw people everywhere.
I glanced over and saw no empty tables. There were people queuing up at the entrance of the restaurant, waiting to be called. Business was really good.
At the front desk, Cao Shujie saw Cao Zhen's wife Patiguli, and went over to call her sister-in-law.
"Shujie, why are you here? Where are Linlin and Mengmeng?" Patiguli also seemed very cordial when she saw Cao Shujie.
Cao Shujie helped them a lot, and she learned from her husband that when her husband helped sell apples last year, Cao Shujie gave her husband 200,000 yuan in hard-earned money.
Besides, the relationship between her husband and Cao Shujie is very strong.
"Sister-in-law, I came here alone this time because my wife and Mengmeng were at home." Cao Shujie did not say what he was doing.
Patiguli and Cao Zhen didn't ask either.
Cao Zhen took out the gold bracelet Cao Shujie gave to his daughter from the net pocket under the trolley, showed it to his wife and said, "Look, my wife, Shujie gave it to me."
"Oh, it's so valuable. I'll thank her uncle on behalf of our Pamir." Patiguli accepted it generously.
She thought about finding an opportunity to return the favor later.
Cao Shujie smiled and said, "That's right."
There is also a specific private room in the Xinjiang Hotel, which is not open to the public. It was mainly left by Cao Zhen and Patiguli to deal with special situations, such as entertaining friends and relatives.
You can't let relatives and friends come over and the store be so busy that there isn't even a place to eat.
In the room, Cao Zhen, Cao Fei and Cao Shujie chatted and boasted, and then talked about what happened in their hometown of Caojiazhuang.
"Shujie, I heard that before the National Day, our village sold cattle, and the villagers who raised the cattle made a lot of money." Cao Fei mentioned this matter.
Cao Shujie did not brag about this matter, but said truthfully: "Don't listen to other people's nonsense. In fact, I don't make much money. A cow can only earn a few thousand yuan."
At this point, Cao Shujie clapped his fingers and told them: "Last year, a calf cost 3,300 yuan. Should we get rid of this one?"
"In this year, I have to buy corn, bean cakes, feed, forage, and medicine. Don't these things all count as money?"
"You have to hire a laborer to raise cattle. Our village doesn't count labor costs. If we do count, how much money can we make from raising cattle? In other words, our hometown has low consumption and few places to spend money."
This is the truth.
Seeing that Cao Fei still didn't believe it, Cao Shujie told him: "Unless you are the kind of person who raises a lot of cows, if you raise few, you really won't make any money."
"I can save some money at least in my hometown, but I can't save any money I make outside." Cao Fei complained.
He originally thought that the salary offered to him here was high, so he would spend less money and save more, so as to save a down payment so that he could buy a house early. But in fact, when he actually saved money, he realized that in a short period of time, this was
An almost impossible task.
His salary is high, but he also has a lot of social activities and many drinking places. Even if many people invite him to dinner, he can't just not return the invitation, right?
After going back and forth like this, deducting the rent, and working hard for a year, Cao Fei discovered that the actual situation was far from what he thought.
Cao Shujie didn't know what happened to Cao Fei. Just looking at Cao Fei's expression, he knew that he wasn't doing so well here: "Cao Fei, our village can now raise cattle and plant fruit trees.
It’s the time when things are starting to develop the fastest, so if you have some spare money, you can go back and invest.”
"I dare not say more. If you raise a few more cows and plant more fruit trees, it will still be fine if you can produce 100,000 or 80,000 a year." Cao Shujie said.
After hearing what Cao Shujie said, Cao Fei fell into deep thought, and he was not in a hurry to reply to Cao Shujie.
"Actually, many people in our village who work outside have returned to their hometowns. I think it's good for them to stay in their hometowns."
Cao Shujie told the two of them a very core data.
"Our three villages, Caojiazhuang, Zhujiazhuang and Taodong Village, join the Zhongcheng Agricultural Breeding Cooperative. Guess how many calves we bought in total?"
Cao Fei heard his mother talk about this matter, and because of this matter, his mother wanted him to go back to his hometown to hang out.
He also told him that his relationship with Cao Shujie was so good, and he would definitely be taken care of when he returned to his hometown to develop, and it would be better than living outside.
Moreover, Cao Fei's mother also plans to save money for another two years, and after the kiwi fruit harvest in the field is sold, she will renovate the house in her hometown and build it into a small two-story building like Cao Shujie.
After the construction is completed, it will be renovated properly. It will definitely be more comfortable to live in than in a building.
She hopes that her son Cao Fei will quickly return to his hometown to develop.
But Cao Fei didn't tell Cao Shujie about these things, he still wanted to make a name for himself outside.
"I heard that more than 1,000 calves were purchased this time?"
"That's right, 1,382. This number is far beyond my expectation." Cao Shujie said.
There is light in his eyes.
At noon, the three of them had some food at Cao Zhen's place. Cao Zhen originally wanted them to drink some wine, but Cao Fei had to go to work in the afternoon, and Cao Shujie was not sure if there was anything else in the afternoon. Cao Zhen's own shop
You have to watch it too.
"Shujie, aren't you going back tonight? Where do you live? Find a place to have a drink together in the evening." Cao Zhen didn't give up yet.
Cao Shujie laughed: "I'm over there at the city guest house."
"It's hard to tell if there's anything going on tonight," Cao Shujie said.
After he finished speaking, Cao Zhen wondered: "Why do you live there?"
The city guest house is the abbreviation, and its full name is the Yiling Municipal Party Committee and Government Guest House. In the early years, it was not open to the public, but now it is open to the public following the market.
The doubts in his heart disappeared in a flash. Before Cao Shujie could say anything, Cao Zhen said: "It depends on your plans for the evening. If you are not busy, just call me and let's have a drink."
"OK!"
Cao Shujie took the things he bought and left.
Cao Fei also blended into the shopping mall crowd and continued his work. This was a convenience of his job.
Cao Shujie drove back to the city guest house. No one looked for him or disturbed him. He had a good sleep in the guest house while he had nothing to do in the afternoon.
It was only after four o'clock when I woke up, and I saw that there was a computer, a TV, and a refrigerator in the room.
Cao Shujie was a little thirsty and went to open the refrigerator. Unexpectedly, there was a row of juice, drinks, and mineral water inside.
Taking a bottle of mineral water from the refrigerator, Cao Shujie sat in front of the computer and saw that the computer was connected to the Internet. He thought about it and opened the Bitcoin trading platform, but did not log in to his account and watched the rise and fall of Bitcoin.
Such a curve, Cao Shujie couldn't help but sigh, he was selling at a high point.
Although the prices sold in the first few batches were lower, on average, the overall price was not low.
And if he can earn more than 50 million, he should be satisfied.
Then he opened several Bitcoin-related forums, and Cao Shujie found that it was really lively here.
Many people buy Bitcoin through online loans, small loans or credit cards. Now that Bitcoin has fallen directly from its high point, those who bought Bitcoin through loans were dumbfounded on the spot.
Even if they sell all the Bitcoins they have, they will still lose a lot of money, and they don't know how to fill the hole.
"Holy shit, shit, another one jumped off the building."
"This is the first time. I have told you not to borrow money to speculate. I have to refuse to listen. Now it's better. Who knows when it will fall to the bottom."
"Look at this bearish look, how it rose and how it fell back. I guess it will fall to more than 100 US dollars anyway."
"Nonsense, the price dropped from more than 1,000 US dollars to more than 100 US dollars, and it's not even a fraction. Do you have any brains? He doesn't allow the big funds inside."
"Damn it, if it dares to fall to more than 100 US dollars a piece, I will sell the house and sell it all."
"Who doesn't know how to brag? If the price really drops to more than 100 US dollars, you don't dare to buy it, and you even want to sell your house. How much is your shabby house worth?"
"What should I do? What should I do? I used the down payment of a house to buy 30 houses for 1,000 US dollars, and now almost half of the down payment is gone. Can anyone tell me what to do?"
"You idiot, you actually used the money you spent to buy a house to buy Bitcoin. It's frivolous to say that you don't have any brains. Your ancestors would be so angry that they would crawl out of their graves and take you down with them."
"..."
Cao Shujie continued to look down. He only saw all kinds of violence in the comment area of this forum.
But scrolling further, the comments from at least a week ago are praising Bitcoin everywhere, and some people are clamoring to use the down payment for buying a house to buy Bitcoin, and prepare to sell it all when the price reaches 2,000 US dollars.
money to buy a house.
Secretary Cao also took a special look at the ID of this comment. He thought that he would check the previous comment later to see if it was the same person who used the down payment for a house to buy Bitcoin.
For this kind of person, Cao Shujie felt that he really did not deserve sympathy.
They also took this path because of their own greed.
After reading for a while, the comments in several forums were all very similar. Many people were arguing in the forum. At this time, they began to criticize the experts and curse the world. It was not their fault anyway.
But these people forget that the money invested belongs to them, even if it is money borrowed from other channels, they will pay it back in the end.
After turning off the computer, Cao Shujie turned on the TV and watched for a while.
There are no good TV series either.
Seeing that it was already getting late, no one from the Yiling City Government had been looking for him. Cao Shujie simply stopped waiting and called out to Cao Zhen and Cao Fei, making an appointment with them to find a place to eat outside.
Order dinner.
…
When Cao Shujie returned to the guest house, it was already past 11 p.m.
The three of them didn't drink much in the evening. They mostly chatted and talked about their respective depressions.
One night passed, and on the morning of the second day, Cao Shujie got up early as usual.
I did push-ups and squats in the room, exercised for a while, took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and then went out to have breakfast.
Before he finished eating, a person claiming to be from the city government office called him and wanted to meet with him and tell him some of the rules for tomorrow's awards.
This man introduced himself as Li Kang.
Cao Shujie didn't know the specific position of the other party. He called Director Li and then told the other party that he was at the guest house restaurant. After asking where Li Kang was, Cao Shujie hurriedly finished his breakfast and went there.
Li Kang looks to be between 35 and 40 years old, perhaps because of his work. He is dressed very neatly and seriously, and his hair is neatly combed.
After meeting Cao Shujie, Li Kang's first sentence was: "You are Director Cao Shujie, right? Mayor Zhu told me to convey to you that after the awards are presented this time, you will be one of the city's top ten outstanding young pioneers in rural revitalization."
Is it okay for the representative to speak?"
Cao Shujie was stunned. He really didn't know about this and was not mentally prepared, but he was not afraid of speaking on stage.
"No problem, Director Li, do we have a speech?" Cao Shujie asked.
For such serious occasions, there is usually a speech.
Li Kang told him that he had a manuscript because the award ceremony would be broadcast live on Yiling City TV station. Li Kang hoped that Cao Shujie could memorize the manuscript today.
"You want to live broadcast?" Cao Shujie was a little confused.
