Long Xiaochuan suffered a knee injury and had difficulty moving, and Long Zaiyuan always deliberately kept his distance. The job of receiving Boss Du was completely left to Long Zaitian and other elders of the village committee.
They led Boss Du around the village, from ancestral halls, bluestone walls and other historic sites to the ordinary stilted buildings of each household, and even introduced the basketball court that was being renovated and expanded.
Du Qiu listened carefully to their plans for the future development of the village and made many valuable suggestions.
His foresight was unanimously recognized by the two committees of Leizhai Village, and Long Zaitian immediately invited him to stay overnight and drink to his heart's content until he returned home.
But on the other side, Long Zaiyuan closed the door and emphasized to Long Xiaochuan again: "This Du Qiu is very mysterious. I have only played a few games for him. I have no idea about his company, industry, and family background. I advise you
It’s better to keep distance from him.”
"Uncle, you have seen everything today with your own eyes. Boss Du is very kind to me. He gives me money generously. He doesn't look like a bad person."
"A businessman cannot afford to be early if there is no profit. The more enthusiastic he is towards you, the more he has a purpose."
"But I'm broke, what can he do for me?"
"I don't know, but I trust my judgment."
In order to increase his persuasiveness, Long Zaiyuan also told what he had warned Huang Kunbo before, guessing that his opponent was collecting Long Xiaochuan's intelligence data, and in order to advance smoothly in the "village ba", he did not hesitate to injure Long Xiaochuan.
"What am I talking about? You insist on going to play pick-up with him to make quick money. Are you injured? Do you regret it?"
Long Xiaochuan said sternly: "I don't regret it! Why should I regret it? I got to know Boss Du and made a lot of money by playing field games with him. I feel that my life will save me many years of detours. If he can invest in Lei Village,
Let the whole village increase their income and become rich. Even if my leg is lame, what will it matter?"
"How could you have such thoughts at such a young age? You are the first college student in the village. Your life has just started. You should have your own life ambitions, responsibilities and responsibilities!"
Long Xiaochuan immediately retorted: "Why do I train every day and work hard to play 'village ba'? Is it just for myself to make money and live a good life? Or is it just to make a living for my brothers? I
He’s already carrying the revitalization of Leizhai on his shoulders. Doesn’t that count as having ambitions in life and taking on responsibilities?”
Long Zaiyuan punched the table: "No! You are following my old path, a path destined to be difficult to follow. You are a college student, and you should have greater ambitions than the rejuvenation of Leizhai!"
"More ambitious than the rejuvenation of Leizhai?" Long Xiaochuan shrugged: "Uncle, you think too highly of me. Even if my lofty ambition is the reunification of the motherland and world peace, am I worthy of it?"
Long Zaiyuan hadn't read many books, so he couldn't come up with any rationale to refute him, so he could only slam the door angrily and leave.
Long Xiaochuan just felt that his uncle was inexplicable today and couldn't understand why he was so malicious towards Boss Du.
When Long Zaiyuan was going out, he happened to meet Pan Lei and others who were coming back by bus. With a thought in his mind, he stopped the three of them: "Follow me to the basketball court!"
Pan Lei had a grimace on his face: "Uncle, let's take a rest today. I've been punched and kicked so many times that my whole body hurts."
Long Zaiyuan himself also looked hurt, but his attitude was extremely firm: "Most of those people on the field today are the opponents you will encounter in the "village ba" in the future. I saw their performance on the field.
, can you still sit still?"
Sun Changxing remembered the rumors that this person beat up his teammates in order to win, and immediately pulled Pan Lei: "Okay, no problem, let's go change our training shoes and we'll be back soon."
The Leizhai basketball court still has a concrete floor. The rough cement particles and various cracks make them reluctant to wear basketball shoes for training. They still wear a pair of yellow rubber shoes each on weekdays.
Long Xiaochuan carefully formulated a training plan for the three of them to upgrade their specialties. His idea was very simple. Long Xiaochuan would fall down one day, and he hoped that these friends could step forward to help them at the critical moment.
At dinner time, Du Qiu was treated as the guest of honor, and Long Xiaochuan limped to accompany him to the last seat.
Du Qiu took the initiative to talk about the daytime baseball game and talked about the fight after the game without hesitation. He praised Long Xiaochuan and everyone in Lei Village for being brave enough to fight on his behalf.
"Just because of your sincere devotion to me today, I will definitely help Leizhai get out of this predicament!"
There was loud applause during the dinner, a small part of it was for Boss Du, and more of it was in response to the outstanding performance and dedication of the younger generation in Leizhai.
Grandpa Wu, representing the older generation of Leizhai, met with Boss Du and toasted with a glass of wine.
This means that Du Qiu has gained the trust of the people in Leizhai.
Boss Du mentioned his thoughts after today's visit at the wine table: "You have planned very carefully. I think the forest fungus, forest medicine, forest poultry and other projects are all feasible and have a high probability of success. But there is a problem with these.
Prerequisite, if you can’t do this well, don’t even try the previous ones.”
After Long Zaitian, Pan Qingguo, Yang Hongbing and others looked at each other, he sighed and put down his wine glass: "Are you talking about the mountain road outside Lei Village?"
"Yes, if you want to get rich, build roads first. What a simple truth!"
Long Zaitian dreamed of building a road, but Yucun was stuck at the foot of the mountain. There were other people's farmland on both sides of the mountain road. Due to the feud between the two villages, the road was never completed.
He explained these difficulties.
Du Qiu patted his chest and said that the matter would be taken care of by him, and he would do Shi Zhenxing's ideological work.
Long Zaitian was instantly alert and asked tentatively: "Do you also have a relationship with Shi Zhenxing from Yucun?"
"Haha, you're sensitive, right?"
Du Qiu made a joke to everyone, put his hands on the table with his fists, and spoke his thoughts slowly.
He can invest in Leizhai and find several projects in Yucun. In this way, he becomes a common friend of Leizhai and Yucun.
"You two, in fact, just lack a bridge and link to bring the relationship together. There are some things that are not convenient for the government to do. We investors are different. What we pay attention to is harmony and wealth, and everyone makes money. Let's sit together and drink tea and talk.
By talking, many difficult things were gradually settled."
In order to show that he really had this idea, he immediately called his secretary and asked them to prepare investment information and gather at the village committee compound of Yucun tomorrow morning.
Long Zaitian was still a little worried, thinking that Boss Du might not understand how deep the hatred between the two families was.
Du Qiu told the historical origins that Long Xiaochuan talked about during the day, and completely criticized the greed of the Yucun people from the perspective of the Leizhai people.
He clinked glasses with everyone and combined his heroic words into one sentence: "I will go to Yucun as soon as I get off the mountain tomorrow morning. Just wait for my good news."
