Chapter 286 If you want to be rich, build roads first
"Hmm~ It's comfortable."
"How about Xiaofeng, let me tell you, this is Xiaolu's most precious place."
"Hai~Hai~" Shirakawa Kaede lay on his back beside the hot spring pool with a towel on his head. He closed his eyes and was too lazy to move his fingers.
It's so comfortable and so nostalgic.
This is an open-air hot spring located halfway up the mountainside of Xiaolu, where you can overlook everything in Shikaku City ahead.
The white snow on the mountain next door is clearly visible in front of you.
Steaming hot springs, thick white snow, the winter sun above your head, and your naked body wrapped in warm spring water.
Gee, it’s like a paradise on earth.
"Xiao Feng, Uncle Fujiyama said that this hot spring will be your private property from now on.
It is not open to the public and is strictly prohibited from being used by others. It will belong to the Shirakawa family for generations to come."
"Huh?" Bai Chuanfeng opened his eyes, "Uncle Fujiyama is too outspoken."
"No, everyone thinks this is what it should be." Different from Shirakawa Kaede's casualness, Torataro's expression was extremely serious.
"Hey" Torataro's serious expression shocked Shirakawa Kaede.
But then he smiled in relief and said, "Thank you for your consideration."
"That's right, Xiao Feng. This is everyone's wish, and it's the only thing Xiao Lu can give back to you."
The seemingly reckless Torataro now also has such delicate thoughts.
Think about it, Tokyo is like a big dye vat. People who enter will always be dyed colorfully, whether voluntarily or passively.
Those that remain true to themselves will eventually either turn into rubble, or become more resilient and eventually burst into dazzling brilliance.
Baichuan Feng stretched out his arms and leaned on the bluestone platform beside the hot spring pool. Each of these stones was polished to be extremely smooth, and there was no harsh feeling at all.
Behind him there is a mountain villa for resting. The hot spring here is located on a platform halfway up the mountain.
The scenery here is wonderful and secretive, making it very suitable for development into a hot spring resort.
During the renovation, the construction team also put in a lot of effort.
The layout planning, building materials, and even the diversion of live spring water are all very particular.
Now this hot spring annex belongs to Shirakawa Kaede. Taking a hot spring vacation here every winter will definitely be a very enjoyable thing.
"Sa Ma, rub your back for me."
Torataro, who had been soaking in the steaming spring water for a while, suddenly stood up and turned his back towards Sa Ma, who had been sulking in the water.
"You're too dark. I can't tell if you've wiped it clean or not." Sa Ma, who only had his head exposed, replied honestly.
"Idiot, just wipe it!" Torataro's furious voice echoed far away in the empty mountain stream.
"Haha~" Bai Chuanfeng laughed out loud at being amused by these two people.
In fact, what Xiaolu has given him is far more than just this hot spring villa. Look, there are also these loyal and reliable partners in front of him.
"Sama, remember that Xiaolu's hot springs have skin-beautifying effects. You can even take a dip in it and it will make me whiter."
Torataro was enjoying the massage on his back in peace, and the old man was trying to educate him about the uniqueness of Xiaolu's hot springs.
However, Sa Ma doesn't pay attention to these at all. He is not a girl, and beautifying his skin has no effect on him.
Besides, with Torataro's black skin, it won't turn white no matter how much he soaks in it.
The hot springs here in Xiaolu are acidic. This warm water has a strong bactericidal effect and no bacteria can grow here.
It has a very good therapeutic effect on skin, nerves, gastrointestinal, rheumatic joints, gynecological problems and other diseases.
After soaking in the hot springs here, both muscles and nerves will be relaxed as never before.
Moreover, in such acidic hot springs, some bacteria such as E. coli will die one after another in just ten minutes.
Therefore, medically speaking, the hot springs here are also the cleanest and can be called medicinal soups.
Even a long time ago, there was a legend circulating in the village that the hot springs in Hachimantai can cure all difficult and complicated diseases except lovesickness.
This is a hot spring that is very friendly to women. Shirakawa Kaede wants to let her seniors take a dip in it sometime.
Well, it’s great for skin, I believe girls will like it.
…
During the New Year, in addition to visiting the elders in the same village, Shirakawa Kaede visited all the restaurants along Xiaolu Street.
Most of these restaurants are opened by neighbors in the same village. They cook authentic Akita cuisine, and each has different specialties.
Some are Inaniwa udon, some are sushi, and some are all kinds of barbecue.
Of course, some people from Lukaku City have opened more Western-style cafes and taverns here.
But Bai Chuanfeng treats everyone equally, and everyone is affected by the rain and dew.
The elders in the same village have been cooking for decades, and some of them taste really good.
In addition, he himself also enjoys the process of visiting the store and tasting the dishes from Xiaolu, which gives him a special sense of satisfaction.
However, leisure time is always short-lived. The New Year has just passed and Xiaolu has become busy again.
In the new year, there are still more plans to arrange.
Neighbors who have just learned how to open a store are not very experienced and occasionally feel a little confused.
The taste of the dishes needs to be continuously adjusted based on customer feedback. If there are any unsatisfactory decorations in the store, they should be replaced as soon as possible.
In short, everyone was devoted to their own work. In such a busy atmosphere, Bai Chuanfeng could only get up and start business lazily.
Akita City Prefectural Office.
Shirakawa Kaede, Sasaki Kikuji, Abe Arata and others gathered together.
But in addition to these Akita natives, there are two special visitors from outside here.
"I'm sorry Nagata-san, Ogawa-san, it's really rude to bother you two to make a trip to Akita just after the New Year holiday."
One of these two people is the chairman of Keio Group and the other is the chairman of Tokyu Group.
They were all invited by Shirakawa Kaede to come to Akita for business inspection.
As for the purpose of coming, or the object of inspection, of course it is to solve the most fundamental problem of antlers.
“It’s the cold winter season, so it’s an elegant thing to enjoy the snow in the North.”
"Nagata-san is right. I haven't been to Akita for a long time, and the changes here are quite surprising."
It doesn't matter to Masa Nagata and Kazuo Ogawa. At their level, they can just do whatever they want wherever they want.
In addition to focusing on the operation of the group, it is difficult to find anything else that interests them.
And it happened that a phone call from Shirakawa Kaede after the New Year made them want to come to Akita for a visit.
As for what's going on, well, let's just get together at this moment.
"So the new project Shirakawa-san mentioned is to build a new electric railway line?"
After exchanging pleasantries, Nagata Masaya couldn't wait to get to the point. This was one of the rare things that could arouse his interest.
"That's right." Bai Chuanfeng nodded, and then he gestured behind him, and Sa Ma immediately handed over some information.
"Please take a look, you two. This is information about Tai Kwun and Luk Kok, as well as their respective population distributions.
There is also information and data on Lujiao City’s population changes, economic growth, traffic demand feedback statistics and other information in the past year.”
This information was compiled by the human resources of Akita Prefecture, Shikaku City and Shirakawa Electric, working overtime in the past few days.
Just as Shirakawa Kaede had thought before, Lujiao's geographical environment is not bad, and its population base is also very optimistic.
The only flaw, and the most fundamental problem, is transportation.
As a basin, no matter how excellent the natural scenery is and how many population resources it has, if it cannot open up a rapid communication channel with the outside world, everything will be in vain.
Now that Shirakawa Electric has settled in Lujiao, there is no need to worry about population loss, and it can even attract some outsiders.
According to the law of natural growth, the population of Antlers will be larger in the future, and the level of economic activity will also increase in a positive correlation.
With the natural environment, population, and economy all in place, the only thing left that can hinder the continued development of Antlers is transportation.
If you want to get rich, you must first build roads. This is a wise saying.
Of course, it is impossible for Shirakawa Kaede to solve the traffic problem by himself.
This will only be possible if the Akita government and transportation giants specializing in transportation come forward.
Needless to say, the Akita government, Sasaki Kikuji and Shirakawa Kaede are in their honeymoon period.
Moreover, no one in Akita Prefecture will object to the construction of a new railway in Akita Prefecture.
