Chapter 29 This is filial piety, great filial piety
Although Guo Yongren did not invest, he did not ask for anything in return. He just wanted to take back the original ancestral home. This was not a big deal at first. He had to do it for others. Now that people are donating money without any expectation of return, he must do a good job.
Just say thank you.
I picked up the phone and called Wei Ming first, with a very polite tone. I expressed my gratitude to Wei Ming for introducing such a god of wealth, and then directly held an emergency meeting to implement the project and see where the school would be built.
Wei Ming had a good smile on his face this afternoon. Xu Wenlong and the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee Secretary both called and said that they owed him a favor and told him about Guo Yongren.
Xu Wenlong spoke in the most detail, not only about Guo Yongren's performance in Guojiacun, but also about his donation to three schools. Wei Ming also felt that his face was bright, and Guo Yongren had gained a lot of face for himself.
On that day, many people in the village sent a lot of things to the village chief's home, asking the village chief to entertain the Guo overseas Chinese well. The village chief's wife accepted the gift, but there was really nothing at home. If she didn't accept it, dinner would be a problem.
That night, in addition to the village chief, several respected elderly people also came. I wanted to thank Guo Yongren. Drinking and other things were unavoidable. What these elderly people cared about most was the ancestral hall.
Guo Yongren, Xu Wenlong, and Guo Mingde were all present. There was a big table with more than a dozen people in a circle. They started drinking and thanked Guo Yongren one after another. Guo Yongren also returned the gift one by one. They were all his elders and behaved very humbly.
After drinking and drinking, some people suggested that Guo Yongren move the old man's grave back, so that the fallen leaves can return to their roots. This is what Chinese people are most particular about. Some people objected, saying that the cemetery was old and full of weeds, and it was difficult to clean it up, fearing that it would affect Guo Yongren's fortune.
.
"In this way, elders and juniors are here, then we in Guojia Village should renovate our ancestral tombs. Those who need to support the monuments should support the monuments, unified planning, unified construction, unified standards, I will pay for it."
Repairing ancestral graves is filial piety and great filial piety.
Guo Mingde was so happy that he couldn't smile from ear to ear. The ancestral graves were really messy and he could only think about sorting them out. Now that Guo Yongren was paying for it, manpower was not a problem at all, so he ordered it on the spot.
"If anyone fails to contribute this time, let him leave our Guojia Village." An old man said directly. It is a rare thing to be able to renovate ancestral graves.
"Yes, whoever dares to cause trouble this time must be punished." Another old man also spoke, and a unified opinion was reached. These people were unified, which meant that the opinions of Guojiacun were completely unified, and no one dared to mess up.
After the drinking, Guo Mingde went to see these people off. In name, he actually called these people to the brigade headquarters, and a group of them started a meeting.
"Let me tell you, this kid Yongren came over and helped our village a lot. He is named Guo. We can't ask him for anything anymore. It's not easy for this kid to be outside. This is my opinion." Guo Mingde said
Said while smoking.
"That's right, we can't embarrass the children. Counting up, their family is the mainstay of our old Guo family. They spent a lot of money this time. We can't be greedy." An old man said tapping the ground with his crutch.
The other people nodded one after another and agreed with this opinion. They could not let Guo Yongren spend any more money, so they began to express their opinions one by one.
After Guo Yongren returned to the room, Fang Zhan came over, a little unable to open his mouth. Guo Yongren smiled and said, "Brother Fang, just tell me what you have to say. Is there anything else we can't say between us?"
Fang Zhanzhan scratched his head and said, "Well, young master, I want to go back to my hometown and see the people at home. I haven't been back for a long time. I miss them. I can't help you here."
Guo Yongren thought for a while, and it was really like this, "Okay, you can go back tomorrow, how long will it take?" Guo Yongren asked, Fang Zhan's hometown is HN, which is not close to here.
"Master, I will be back in two weeks at most," Fang Zhan said with certainty.
"Okay, you can go tomorrow and bring this with you." Guo Yongren took out a check for 100,000 yuan and handed it to him, asking Fang Zhan to take it back.
"No, young master, I have money, so no need." Fang Zhanzhan declined repeatedly.
"Here, this is what I want. You must return home in fine clothes when you go back. You can exchange it directly for RMB when you go to the Shanghai market tomorrow, so that it can be used easily when you go back." Guo Yongren directly stuffed the check into Fang Zhanzhan's pocket, without allowing Fang Zhanzhan to object.
"Thank you, Master," Fang Zhanzhan said gratefully. Normally, he hardly used any money, so to speak, he saved it all. Now that Guo Yongren had given so much, he was very excited.
The next day, Guo Yongren and Xu Wenlong were about to return to the city. Guo Mingde saw them off with the villagers, and Guo Yongren spoke in front of the villagers.
"Uncle Guo, hurry up and do the calculations to see how much the various projects cost in total, so I can arrange funding," Guo Yongren said seriously
"Don't worry Yongren, we will ask someone to figure it out as soon as possible," Guo Mingde said loudly. This matter is a certainty and will not be changed. The people in the village were very excited.
After getting in the car, Guo Yongren and Xu Wenlong were puffing away in the back seat, "Yongren, you have to be prepared. This time when you go back, the municipal party committee secretary and the mayor will treat you to dinner. Thank you for your generous donation."
"Thank you, Uncle Xu." Guo Yongren knew that Xu Wenlong's efforts were indispensable in this. If he wanted to invest in Shanghai in the future, he would definitely get the green light all the way.
"Thank you, you deserve this. To be honest, I originally wanted you to donate to one school, but knowing that you donated to three schools, I have benefited from you," Xu Wenlong said with emotion.
Guo Yongren's performance has helped him a lot. When the time comes, he will probably be promoted to the next level. He has signed a favor with Guo Yongren.
"Uncle Xu, it depends on what you said. Uncle Wei treats me well. You are his old comrade-in-arms. We are not outsiders. Isn't it right for me to do this?" Guo Yongren said modestly. Xu Wenlong is very considerate. This
Young people are really not simple, they are very good at talking.
There was no words all the way, and they soon arrived at the guest house. A few people ate a little hastily, and Fang Zhanzhan said goodbye to Guo Yongren. Guo Yongren walked him to the door of the guest house and watched Fang Zhanhan leave. Guo Yongren then returned to rest.
In the evening, the Secretary of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee, the Mayor, and Xu Wenlong all came over and invited Guo Yongren to dinner together. The three big bosses were here. How dare Guo Yongren not give him face? None of them went out. They were in the small restaurant of the guest house.
.
Because of Guo Yongren's humble performance, he made a very good impression on several big bosses. He was always talking and laughing. Guo Yongren was quick in thinking and stood up with a glass of wine. The others looked at him and knew that he had something to say.
