In Zhuang Yonghua's eyes, allowing her daughter to stay and work in Caojiazhuang is the same as those in old state-owned enterprises.
Her daughter graduated in July, and she wanted her husband to talk to Cao Shujie at that time to see if her daughter could stay in Caojiazhuang or go to work in Cao Shujie's factory.
But her husband was too proud to open his mouth. The last time he was asked to do this, he still failed to do it.
Zhuang Yonghua no longer counted on her husband at that time. During that time, Zhuang Yonghua often gave his wife a blank look.
Later, in order to prevent the old couple from quarreling again, her daughter took the initiative to find a job in the city. This incident made Zhuang Yonghua think that Cao Jianlong was unreliable at critical moments and served as the village party secretary of Caojiazhuang for several years in vain.
But she didn't expect that two months after her daughter graduated, Cao Jianlong suddenly called her and said that during today's meeting, Cao Shujie took the initiative to ask her daughter to work for the Caojiazhuang Tourism Company, and also organize some part-time event planning for the Caojiazhuang Village Committee, and then take the village
Commissioned subsidy of 1,000 yuan.
Upon hearing this result, Zhuang Yonghua cried with joy.
But she also wondered what happened in the middle to cause such a change.
The time was too short, and Cao Jianlong didn't have time to give her a detailed explanation on the phone. In the end, he just said that he would invite Cao Shujie to dinner tonight, and other people from the Caojiazhuang Village Committee would accompany him, and asked her to come with her daughter.
Zhuang Yonghua thought to himself, just go and ask what happened.
After hanging up the phone, Zhuang Yonghua went to another room and called her daughter Cao Shuli: "Shuli, Shuli."
"Mom, did you call me?" Cao Shuli responded and ran out of the house.
Zhuang Yonghua said: "Your dad just called and said that your brother Jie has arranged a job for you in the village committee. Your dad is going to treat him to dinner tonight. Let's go together. You hurry up and change your clothes. Let's go there quickly."
Don't keep your brother Jie waiting too long."
"Village committee work?" Cao Shuli was a little confused and didn't know what was going on.
She remembered clearly that her father was unwilling to speak, so the matter was dropped. Why did he bring it up again?
Ah, could it be that her father secretly found Brother Jie to use the back door for her job?
Unable to figure it out, her mother urged her again and again, but Cao Shuli finished changing her clothes and went out with her mother.
At this time, Cao Shuli remembered something and asked her mother where she was going to eat tonight.
"They said they were going to the Fuxing Hotel in town. Anyway, your dad arranged it. Just ask him to pay for it, and you don't have to worry about it," Zhuang Yonghua said.
Cao Shuli wanted to laugh, thinking her mother was really interesting.
The mother and daughter walked together towards the Caojiazhuang Village Committee compound. They met many villagers along the way and stopped and lost a lot of time.
After coming over, Cao Shuli found that her father, Cao Jianlong, was standing outside talking on the phone. She quickly walked a few steps to greet him: "Dad, why are you going to eat again today?"
"Didn't your mother tell you?" After Cao Jianlong hung up the phone, he turned to look at his wife, his eyes drooping.
Cao Shuli shook her head: "My mother said that Brother Jie arranged a job for me. Dad, what's going on?"
Cao Jianlong quickly told his daughter the whole story.
Zhuang Yonghua came over and listened patiently. After Cao Jianlong finished speaking, the mother and daughter finally understood what had happened.
Zhuang Yonghua specifically looked at her daughter: "Shu Li, what kind of market did you tell your father about?"
Cao Shuli nodded: "Mom, I told my dad, but I didn't expect my dad to tell Brother Jie."
"I also accidentally told him about this matter. I thought it was nothing at first, but I didn't expect that your brother Jie takes this matter very seriously." Cao Jianlong was also a little dizzy.
He told Cao Shujie four things. The reason why he put the theme market at the end proved that he did not value this matter himself, but he did not expect that what Cao Shujie valued most was this matter.
This is called unintentional planting of willow trees.
After hearing this, Cao Shuli also scratched her head a little: "What should we do now?"
"Shu Li, tell dad honestly, do you want to go back to work in Caojiazhuang?" Cao Jianlong asked her seriously.
To be honest, Cao Shuli definitely wants to work in Caojiazhuang.
In this way, it is convenient to go home, and Cao Shuli is not a pragmatic woman. She knows that working in Caojiazhuang will be very convenient for her in the future.
But Caojiazhuang is now a popular place, and it is not that easy to get a job at the Caojiazhuang Village Committee or the Caojiazhuang Tourism Company.
Even going to work in Xuemeng Food Factory is now more difficult than before.
Cao Shuli didn't want her father to be embarrassed by this matter, so she never showed it, but this time Brother Jie took the initiative to talk about letting her come back to work. Cao Shuli suddenly realized when she heard her father talking about the theme market, but
She didn't think it was a big deal either.
"I'm not sure. Anyway, it was your brother Jie who said so. He asked me to ask you if you would like to come back to work. If you are willing, you can join the travel company and they will give you a salary of 3,000 yuan."
"If you help the village committee plan some activities, the village committee will give you a monthly subsidy of 1,000 yuan." Cao Jianlong directly told his daughter about his salary.
In terms of salary alone, Cao Shuli wants to come back to work.
The planning job he was looking for in a shopping mall in the city paid more than 2,000 yuan. She didn't want to do it, but she couldn't find a more suitable job for the time being. Cao Shuli thought of finding a job to make ends meet first, and then slowly find a suitable job.
But she didn't expect that the most suitable job would fall from the sky, which made Cao Shuli feel like a pie in the sky.
"Come in with me first. Your brother Jie will have a chat with you. If you have anything to say later, just say it directly. Don't play tricks with your brother Jie." Cao Jianlong specifically told her daughter.
Cao Jianlong knew that Cao Shujie didn't like people who played tricks.
"Dad, I know." Cao Shuli nodded, still feeling a little uneasy, and followed her father in.
At this time, Cao Shujie, Gao Changyin, Lu Ping, Cao Shuchao, and Liu Guoqiang were chatting in the conference room. When they saw Cao Jianlong coming in with his daughter and wife, everyone started laughing.
After Cao Jianlong came in, he said to Cao Shujie: "Secretary Cao, I asked Shuli to come over."
"Uncle Long, you are too polite."
Cao Shujie then looked at Zhuang Yonghua and Cao Shuli: "Aunt, sister, you two sit down quickly."
After the two sat down, Cao Shujie asked Cao Shuchao to pour water. He then looked at Cao Shuli and asked her about the theme market.
I want to ask her how she came up with this idea?
Cao Shuli didn't hesitate and started talking on the spot.
It turns out that this matter has something to do with her going to college.
When they were in college, there was a fund-raising event for classmates in their school.
It's just that this fundraiser is not a donation in the traditional sense, but the school uses a 'small fund-raising themed fair' activity, allowing students and teachers to voluntarily participate. Based on the principle of free buying and selling, all the proceeds from the ceremony will be used for donations.
At the same time, the school will make donations in equal proportions.
At this fundraising fair, the prices of the items sold were definitely at a premium, but there were still many people participating, and everyone wanted to do their part. What they bought was not something, but a goodwill.
Besides donating money, you can also buy some commemorative gifts at the market, so why not.
This incident left a deep impression on Cao Shuli.
After Cao Shujie heard what Cao Shuli said, he suddenly realized, but he also didn't understand something, and then asked Cao Shuli: "Where do the things you sell come from?"
"Brother Jie, this is what our classmates voluntarily put out. We have a lot of things we don't need. It would be a pity to throw them away, but we don't know who to give them to, so we take them out as souvenirs and sell them in the market. We also donate money.
Even so, we do share our thoughts." This is what Cao Shuli told Cao Shujie.
What she said was very clear, and Cao Shujie understood it immediately.
When others heard Cao Shuli give this specific example, they understood instantly. At this moment, they were more interested in this kind of themed market.
Cao Shuchao was also clamoring to come up with a theme as soon as possible. They also took advantage of Caojiazhuang's tourism to hold a "theme market" to see the effect.
Cao Shujie waved his hand, telling him not to act too hastily.
The more this kind of thing happens, the less likely it is to be confused, and it must be taken seriously.
No one is a fool. If you approach this matter with a foolish attitude this time, you will definitely suffer backlash later on.
Cao Shuli also said: "Brother Jie is right, theme markets must be sincere to each other."
"Shu Li, if Caojiazhuang also wants to hold a theme fair, what do you think should be done?" Cao Shujie asked her directly.
After hearing Cao Shujie's question, Cao Jianlong and Zhuang Yonghua became nervous.
Gao Changyin, Lu Ping, Liu Guoqiang, and Cao Shuchao are all thinking about what should be done?
But they have never been exposed to this aspect at all, and what they have seen and heard limits their thinking, and they cannot come up with better ideas.
Before they could come up with a clever idea, they heard Cao Shuli say: "Brother Jie, I think we can use our own advantages."
Cao Shujie asked him again: "What do you think are the advantages of Caojiazhuang?"
Cao Shuli pondered for a while, then said: "If it is a holiday, we can hold a holiday market or annual market. Instead of selling fresh vegetables, we will sell fruits and fruit-related products, and sell festive things."
"But if there is no such festive atmosphere, we can also make our own theme." Cao Shuli said.
She expressed her thoughts from the most down-to-earth perspective, saying that she could organize a food fair, a handicraft fair, and other things.
"These are all too common." Cao Shujie shook his head and denied it.
He felt that this kind of market had no selling points, and it was not worth giving Cao Shuli a monthly salary of 4,000 yuan.
In some respects, Cao Shujie is a businessman, and what he needs is talents.
If Caojiazhuang wants to continue to develop, it cannot rely solely on himself, and it also needs more talents to join.
Just like Cao Jianlong and others mentioned this time that they want to extend the closing time of parks and orchards by 20 days, which means 20 more days of buying and selling transactions. This shows that Caojiazhuang's tourism economy completely relies on his orchards and parks. Remove these two
Factors, the so-called Caojiazhuang tourism economy is zero.
That won't work.
This is not what Cao Shujie wants.
So when he heard Cao Jianlong mention the theme market, Cao Shujie had a vague idea in his mind, but he didn't form an overall outline.
He called Cao Shuli over because he also wanted to complete this link for Caojiazhuang.
Judging from what Cao Shuli just said, it is not enough to meet his requirements.
Cao Shujie was thinking about this matter in his mind, and Cao Shuli continued: "Brother Jie, let me ask you something."
"Say." Cao Shujie was also curious about what she wanted to ask.
Then I heard Cao Shuli ask: "Brother Jie, I heard before that you want to tell a story about the mountain we are developing?"
Cao Shujie subconsciously looked at Cao Jianlong. This matter was only discussed at the village committee meeting, and not many people knew about it.
Cao Jianlong was stared at by Cao Shujie, and he was a little embarrassed because he didn't do a good job of keeping secrets.
But Cao Jianlong stood tall and straightened his neck for the sake of his daughter. He could not lower his head.
Cao Shujie admitted: "There is such a thing. Speaking of which, I picked up a broken bottle on the dam. When I went to the capital last year, I took the bottle to identify it. I thought it was a treasure, but I didn't know.
valuable."
After hearing Cao Shujie complaining about being worthless, Cao Jianlong and others became interested.
Everyone knows that Cao Shujie is rich. What if his so-called worthless money is hundreds of thousands? How about millions?
Gao Changyin also asked him specifically how much that thing was worth?
"At that time, the appraiser told me that if I found something that I liked, I could give him hundreds of thousands. If I didn't find something that I liked, it would only be tens of thousands of dollars at most. I wouldn't even pick it up if I dropped it on the ground," Cao Shujie said.
of.
Everyone else curled their lips after hearing this.
Just know that this is the case. The so-called worthlessness in Cao Shujie's eyes is not the same concept as them.
But Cao Shujie didn't care about these things. He continued to ask Cao Shuli: "Sister, please continue talking."
Cao Shuli continued what Cao Shujie just said.
She wanted to let the whole village of Caojiazhuang learn about the culture of the Three Kingdoms, especially looking for any handicrafts with obvious culture from the Three Kingdoms period.
In addition to those who set up stalls in Caojiazhuang, there are actually some people who live at home. These people can be gathered together, let them learn to make simple handicrafts, and organize a market with the theme of promoting history, culture and folk culture.
.
Cao Shuli only said this, and Cao Shujie started to applaud.
Although it is the same thing, compared with the previous statement, this statement is much fresher and more attractive.
Of course, this is not yet to the extent that a theme fair can attract people from other places, but everything has a beginning, just like there was no tourism economy in Caojiazhuang before. Cao Shujie also started by planting orchards, bit by bit.
Attracting people from other places to come and pick kiwis and apples in his orchard, it took several years to slowly accumulate, and this is how Caojiazhuang's current tourism economy has emerged.
"Shu Li, I leave this matter to you, do you have confidence?" Cao Shujie asked her again.
Cao Shuli nodded directly without thinking: "Brother Jie, I have confidence."
She said it very simply.
Regardless of whether it works or not, hypnotize yourself first, otherwise why would others believe you?
Cao Shujie believed what she said: "That's it, you take the time to go through the entry procedures."
"But let's talk ugly first. I also have to assess this. If you don't meet the requirements, I will adjust your work later." Cao Shujie said.
Cao Shuli said "hmm" twice: "Brother Jie, don't worry, if I can't do it, I won't be able to stand still."
This matter is finally settled.
Cao Jianlong was so happy that he didn't know where to put his hands, and his wife Zhuang Yonghua was also at a loss.
Lu Ping and the others were also happy for Cao Shuli.
Gao Changyin also urged Cao Jianlong: "Secretary Jianlong, let's go to dinner. You need to drink two more drinks in the evening."
"Let's go, I just called Boss Wang. He arranged for a car to pick us up and send us back after dinner." Cao Jianlong said this.
Cao Shujie and the others are not polite either.
When he was about to leave, Cao Shujie called his wife Cheng Xiaolin and told him that Cao Jianlong was going to treat him to dinner tonight and asked him not to wait for him to eat.
"Shujie, drink less wine." Cheng Xiaolin said to him.
Cheng Xiaolin knows her husband's temperament very well. If she doesn't say a few words, her husband may have two more drinks.
Drinking actually doesn't matter, but drinking without restraint is not okay.
Cao Shujie naturally agreed and said he would not get drunk.
…
When he was driven back by the Fuxing Hotel in the evening, he was really not drunk.
Only Cao Jianlong and Gao Changyin were drunk, and the others didn't drink much.
Cao Jianlong was so happy that Cao Shujie helped him accomplish this, so he became greedy and drank two more drinks.
Gao Changyin is a bad drinker. He gets drunk whenever he drinks, and he also loves to drink.
After returning home, Cao Shujie told his wife about Cao Jianlong and his daughter. Cheng Xiaolin said: "Why are you thinking of setting up this market?"
"Promote it, hold it twice more. Even if Caojiazhuang does not have such history and culture, others will believe it. Also, when the time comes, you can also go over and shoot some videos to promote it." Cao Shujie said to his wife.
Cheng Xiaolin thinks this is indeed a selling point, but she always feels that her husband is too optimistic and this matter is not that easy to handle.
Cao Shujie told him: "Don't try to make something grand as soon as it starts, and don't expect to do it on a large scale from the beginning."
"Think about how many people there were in a day when we first started picking kiwi fruit?" Cao Shujie asked his wife.
Cheng Xiaolin really remembered it, she said: "I remember there were a few hundred people a day at that time, and sometimes there were more than 1,000 people. Then one day suddenly four to five thousand people came, and we couldn't accommodate it."
How can it be like now that after stabilizing, there are tens of thousands of visitors every day, and hundreds of thousands of visitors on Saturdays and weekends. Such a huge passenger flow not only makes their family a lot of money, but also allows the people of Caojiazhuang to trade by setting up stalls.
I made a lot of money along the way.
"So, take your time." Cao Shujie said.
Cheng Xiaolin didn't believe it. She always felt that her husband's thoughts were not that simple, but Cheng Xiaolin didn't ask any more questions.
The next day, Cao Jianlong took his daughter Cao Shuli to the city to quit his job.
The planning activity of his daughter was not an important position in itself. The salary was 2,000 yuan a month, and it was just a small role. The resignation went smoothly, and even the handover of work was skipped.
After going to the dormitory to pick up their personal belongings, the father and daughter rushed back to Caojiazhuang together.
On the third day, Cao Shuli went to work at the newly established tourism company in Caojiazhuang. The office was still under renovation and there was no fixed office location for the time being.
There are actually a few people like Cao Shuli, all of whom were recruited by the Caojiazhuang Tourism Company. (End of this chapter)
