Cheng Xiaohu's words made several of us in the car laugh. Cheng Xiaohu is really a funny guy.
However, the journey was not so boring because of Cheng Xiaohu. She also acted as a tour guide to introduce An Lan and the others.
The two-hour drive itself seemed to arrive in no time.
The car stopped at the entrance of the village. After getting off the car one after another, I went to the commercial vehicle behind to help them carry the equipment.
Three or four people got out of the Buick commercial vehicle. One of them was a girl. She was small, sweet-looking, and wearing a furry hat.
She ran towards me as soon as she got off the car. The stationmaster was in front of me, looking at me blankly.
After a while, she finally said: "Mr. Chen, is it really you? I heard from Mr. An that you are still alive. I couldn't even think about it. I really didn't expect to see you again."
It seems that she is another person I was familiar with before, but I have no impression of her now.
Fortunately, Cheng Xiaohu was not with me when she said this, otherwise he would have thought too much if he heard it.
I hurriedly said to her: "I'm sorry, I don't remember who you are now, but please don't say anything about my identity here, please!"
She nodded repeatedly and said, "I know, Mr. An has told me, I'm just too excited."
After I shook my head and said it was okay, I went to help move the equipment on the truck.
Xiaoqi hurried over to me again and said, "Mr. Chen, please stop moving. We can do it ourselves."
Several other people also agreed. I smiled and said, "It's okay. Let's move faster together."
Xiao Qi said with a hint of embarrassment: "Mr. Chen, how embarrassing is it to ask you to personally help us move the equipment! Mr. An will tell us when he sees it later."
I looked towards An Lan and she was looking at me.
I smiled at her, and then said to Xiaoqi and the others: "What's the matter? Don't think of me as your leader. Now I'm asking you to help us promote our place."
An Lan came over to me at this time and said to me: "Let Xiaoqi and the others handle this. Come over and take us around the village."
So I took An Lan, Fu Zhiqiang and He Jing into the village. The road into the village used to be a dirt road, but now it has been turned into a cement road.
There are also many green plants and flowers planted on both sides of the road, which looks much more beautiful.
Walking on the newly repaired cement road, An Lan said to me: "I remember that the last time I came here, wasn't this road not yet repaired?"
"Yes, it's because you want to promote it, so I accelerated the construction period and it was just completed yesterday."
After saying that, I asked An Lan again: "By the way, how do you plan to promote our place? Live broadcast?"
An Lan shook his head and replied: "It's enough to have Xiaoqi and the others. They specialize in tourism promotion."
After An Lan finished speaking, He Jing suddenly said: "Now Xiaoqi is the most popular travel blogger on the Internet. With them here, you can rest assured!"
Cheng Xiaohu suddenly echoed: "Yes, yes, I have watched their videos, and they have a lot of likes."
I looked at Cheng Xiaohu with a smile and said, "Why does everyone know about you?"
Cheng Xiaohu said with a proud look on his face: "I don't watch short videos every day for nothing. Nowadays, I know who is popular on the Internet."
An Lan suddenly answered: "Then tell me about the people you are familiar with who are popular on the Internet. Let me see if I know them?"
Cheng Xiaohu really started talking, but of the people she mentioned, I only know Xiaoqi and He Jing, and Liu Qinglan who hasn't come yet, because I only know them so far.
After he finished speaking, An Lan replied calmly: "Of the people you mentioned, only three are not from our company, and the rest are from our company."
An Lan's words frightened Cheng Xiaohu so much that he stuttered: "No, isn't it?! Then how big is your company?"
An Lan and the others all laughed. I believed she was not bragging, because I had been to their company and it was really impressive.
After joking for a while, An Lan suddenly came to me and started chatting with me alone.
She said to me: "After I came here last time, I had an idea and wanted to communicate with you."
"what idea?"
"Isn't grapes grown here? I want to invest in a red winery here."
Hearing what An Lan said, I was slightly surprised and said, "Really or false?"
"I will discuss it with you very seriously now. Do you think it is necessary?"
Of course I think it is necessary, because when I was planting grapes, I had already thought about the future.
In addition to the sales of grapes, there is also the sale of wine, but this is not simple.
I instantly became serious, was silent for a while, and said to An Lan: "I had this idea early in the morning, but what I was thinking about was whether it would be too much of an investment to build a red winery here by cooperating with those mature wineries.
Big?"
"Don't worry about this. Our group is very confident now. A red winery is nothing."
If another person said this, I think it would be bragging.
But when An Lan said this to me, I wasn't surprised at all, because she was really confident.
After another period of silence, I said to her: "Yes, yes, but you have to think carefully, because the transportation here is not convenient. It takes at least six hours to drive from the city to our place, and there is no expressway."
An Lan nodded solemnly and said, "I have also thought about this problem, so another purpose of my visit this time is to communicate with your city to see if the expressway can be opened, even if it only leads to the county seat.
That’s fine.”
I was extremely surprised and said, "Have you communicated with your superiors?"
"Not yet. Shouldn't I discuss this with you first? If you agree, then I will go talk to the city leaders."
Without even thinking about it, I hurriedly nodded and replied: "That's great! If this thing can be done, it will be a great thing for the people of Dongshan County."
An Lan nodded and said, "Let's just say it. When I go back, I will go to the city to talk to the person in charge of transportation. It shouldn't be difficult."
"Isn't this difficult?" I said in surprise.
"Think about it, as long as the leaders above know that I am here to invest here, then the difficulty will not be difficult."
I understand what An Lan said. In fact, Jiang Tao talked to me about this matter a while ago. He has also been making suggestions to the city leaders, and the city leaders have come to inspect it many times.
If An Lan talks about it now as an investor, then I think the road construction can be completed.
As the saying goes: If you want to get rich, build roads first.
This is true. As long as the roads are better, more and more people will come here to travel, and our grapes will be better transported.
It can be said that building roads is my biggest wish now. As long as the roads are built, everything will be fine.
