Chapter 355 Shocked Cao Shien
In fact, Zhang Yunxi's proposal was similar to what Cao Chunyuan had said to Cao Shi'en before. However, Zhang Yunxi's identity was different and his way of speaking was different from Cao Chunyuan's. That's why Cao Shi'en felt that Zhang Yunxi's proposal was a new idea.
In the final analysis, Cao Chunyuan and Zhang Yunxi both have the same idea, which is to let the villagers develop side businesses on their own, rather than Cao Shien leading everyone to jointly run some side business with everyone, like cooperative planting.
"I previously wanted the villagers to raise some livestock, such as chickens, ducks, geese, or cattle and sheep, to expand the villagers' industry. But I felt that this method was unreliable and would even widen the gap between the rich and the poor among the villagers.
As for the secondary industry you mentioned, it will also cause this kind of problem, which is inconsistent with my concept of leading everyone to get rich together."
After just a few words of exchange, Zhang Yunxi understood Cao Shien's thoughts. Cao Shien's thoughts were too naive. There were at least hundreds of households in Liujia Village, with thousands of people. Naturally, the villagers were rich and poor. How could everyone's income be so high?
About the same level?
Besides, no matter what business you do, there are always profits and losses. How can there be a business that is guaranteed to make profits but not lose money?
The fruit business of Cao Shien and Cao Chunyuan was very good, and the villagers all made money. However, in the face of unfavorable circumstances, it is possible to lose everything.
In Cao Shien's eyes, it seems that as long as everyone operates a certain industry, they will definitely make money. This idea is simply ridiculous. He doesn't understand how Cao Shien came up with this idea.
In this way, Cao Chunyuan dared to hand over the management of the Delicious Cannery to Cao Shien. She was really arrogant!
"Uncle, have you ever thought that no matter what industry you run, you will definitely make money. You are just a village chief, not the parent of all villagers.
It is impossible for one's own children to be able to hold a bowl of water evenly, let alone thousands of villagers?
I think your idea is too extreme. What you should be thinking about now is not how to lead all the villagers to become richer. What you should be thinking about is how to make Liujia Village rich.
Only when the conditions in Liujia Village improve, will the villagers have more possibilities to improve."
Hearing this, Cao Shien fell silent, and he smoked dry cigarettes one after another with a straight face. Cao Chunyuan also told him before that he should first deal with the road construction and infrastructure in the village with peace of mind.
The matter of how to make the villagers richer should be put on hold for now, and then we can consider it when the conditions in the village are better.
He also knew in his heart that Cao Chunyuan and Zhang Yunxi were right, but he had promised Yan Ruixing before that he would be the representative of Dazhangzi Township and take the lead in leading the villagers to get rich.
This is not just the result of him being fooled by Yan Ruixing, he really wants to prove himself to the people around him.
Cao Chunyuan's halo is so heavy that even if Cao Chunyuan is in a different place, some people still say that Cao Shien's success today is all due to Cao Chunyuan's help, and that without Cao Chunyuan, he would have accomplished nothing.
Even sometimes, when others just praised Cao Chunyuan, he felt that the other person was making fun of him.
This is really not because he is being petty, but because there are too many people saying these things, so he is eager to prove himself to everyone and prove that he is also capable of doing things.
Facts have proved that everyone has sharp eyes. Without Cao Chunyuan's help, he really can't do anything well.
He took a long puff of the dry pipe, burned out the last bit of cigarette powder in the pipe, then smoked the pipe twice on the corner of the table, and pinned the pipe to his waist.
"Well, you young people know better. I am older and know less. I don't seem to be suitable for this kind of work."
Zhang Yunxi didn't know why Cao Shien's attitude suddenly changed so drastically. He glanced at Cao Shien with a confused look on his face, and then secretly glanced at Cao Chunyuan beside him.
He found that this father and daughter were simply weird. The daughter was very clever, but she had already started a whole series of businesses from scratch at such a young age.
But the old man is an out-and-out farmer, and what he has in mind is the very old idea of everyone getting rich together.
Such a father and daughter never look like a family!
"Uncle, don't underestimate yourself. Under your leadership, Liujia Village is prospering. This is something that everyone can see.
It's just that you are a little too hasty. Liujiacun's foundation is relatively weak and is suitable for slow development. The breeding and other projects you mentioned before are actually quite good.
It is a very good plan to let the villagers raise a few livestock while planting. Maybe the villagers will start building breeding farms and start a secondary industry when they have experience."
"Um!"
Cao Shien snorted lightly. He had already figured it out. If he wanted to prove his ability, he did not have to let the villagers run some side businesses. He followed what Cao Chunyuan told him before and built Liujia Village well, which was also his contribution to Liujia Village.
As for the side jobs of the villagers, he had to calm down and think about it slowly.
"The meal is ready, come and eat!"
At this moment, Cao Fengxia walked into the house with bowls and chopsticks, and Li Jianguo at the side quickly followed suit to set up tables and chairs. Cao Shien no longer bothered about the affairs of Liujia Village, and generously greeted Zhang Yunxi to sit down and eat with everyone.
It was the first time for Zhang Yunxi to experience such a scene, and he seemed a little embarrassed. Sitting between Cao Chunyuan and Cao Shien, he felt as if there were nails under his buttocks, which was particularly uncomfortable.
Cao Chunyuan saw Zhang Yunxi's nervous look and suppressed her smile. She gently bumped Zhang Yunxi's waist with her arm and signaled with her eyes that Zhang Yunxi should not be nervous and just calm down.
With Cao Chunyuan's encouragement, Zhang Yunxi's nervousness was relieved and he seemed a little normal.
Afterwards, it was a more routine meal. Li Xianglan and Cao Shien had already taken turns questioning Zhang Yunxi. At the dinner table, they just briefly chatted with him about his family situation and Zhang Yunxi's career.
The focus is on the water park project that Zhang Yunxi and Cao Chunyuan jointly developed in Rehe City. Zhang Yunxi did not tell all of Cao Chunyuan's exaggerated ideas, but only talked about Cao Chunyuan and his main ideas.
Even so, the two people's generosity still shocked Li Xianglan and Cao Shi'en.
"Just a water park, you need to invest 100 million?"
Zhang Yunxi nodded. 100 million was just a conservative estimate for the water park project. Adding in the additional entertainment projects he and Cao Chunyuan would plan later, at least an additional 120 million would be needed.
"After all, this is a planning project of Jehol City, so the investment will naturally be higher. Our project is not just a water park, but also some other entertainment projects.
Fortunately, with the blessing of the tourist city, this project should be a sure-profit business, so you don’t have to worry about investment.”
"hehe!"
Cao Shien smiled awkwardly but politely. The agricultural scientific research center that Cao Chunyuan had invested tens of millions to build was already a sky-high investment in his opinion.
In just one year, Cao Chunyuan partnered with Zhang Yunxi to invest hundreds of millions in building a water park in Rehe City. This large-scale investment was beyond his scope of knowledge, and he didn't know what to say.
