Longkou Village is still the same Longkou Village, but it’s not quite like that Longkou Village.
Because the biggest difference between this place and the past is not only that the village is indeed rich and has built many new large tile-roofed houses.
Every household has bought a large color TV, and it has become a veritable second color TV village in Beijing.
It lies more in the construction and improvement of public facilities.
Under the large elm tree that has witnessed the village's hundreds of years of history, in addition to the village committee and the school, two new buildings of considerable size have been built.
Several large stones and a stone roller where the villagers used to enjoy the shade were removed.
They were replaced with six sets of brand new stone tables and benches from a handicraft factory.
The main yellow mud road that winds through the village has been widened into a cement road, and street lights are being installed on both sides of the road.
In addition, there are public toilets, public bathhouses, public libraries, restaurants, and shops.
The dazzling array of goods in the store were all items re-batched from the "Polar Bear First Service Company" when brothers An Yangyang and An Yueyue went to the city to deliver goods.
Therefore, restaurants and shops imitate the "Polar Bear Day and Night Store" and "Polar Bear Restaurant" at the entrance, with many plastic tables and chairs holding parasols placed at the entrance.
Villagers can sit here and enjoy a bottle of cold beer or cold drinks...
To put it bluntly, this place is no longer the traditional rural area that used to be dull and full of backward small-farmer consciousness.
Instead, it has become a modern village with avant-garde character and urbanization awareness.
You know, most of the small alleys in Beijing have just been upgraded and renovated with urban roads, and the dirt roads have been changed into asphalt roads.
The first color TV village in Beijing, although it also made a lot of money by setting up factories in several villages.
However, not to mention sheet metal and spray painting, which destroyed the natural environment, the village cadres were busy building houses for their own homes and did not spend a single penny on public facilities.
Therefore, the new appearance of Longkou Village now took even Hong Yanwu by surprise, let alone others.
He really didn't expect Zhaoqing to be able to renovate the village so well just by relying on his own planning.
With his foresight and selflessness, many township heads or county heads may not be able to match him.
The six old teachers from "Jingcheng Primary School" who were hired were even happier.
To be honest, they were hired because of the high salary, with certain inherent prejudices in mind, and prepared to go to the countryside to endure hardships.
As a result, I didn’t expect that the actual conditions in Longkou Village were so good.
The teachers' dormitories are equipped with screen windows, heating, electric fans, refrigerators, washing machines, and TVs.
Even the classroom conditions are much better than those in ordinary primary schools in the capital. The blackboard teaching aids are all available, and they are all new.
Looking at hardware alone, for those who don’t know, this can be regarded as the focus of the market.
Even the food is free, and we eat three meals a day at the village restaurant.
Breakfast consists of steamed buns, porridge, eggs, pickles, and fermented bean curd.
The dinner standard is one dish per person. You can order your own dishes and everyone can eat together at the table.
Therefore, in the eyes of several old teachers, Longkou Village is not far away from realizing communism.
They couldn't help being a little moved and said privately that they didn't expect Longkou Village to attach so much importance to education and give everyone such good treatment.
If you can't teach the children in the village to become promising people, I'll be sorry for the kindness given to them by the village.
But in the final analysis, the one who touched the most was Hong Yankang.
Because in his mind, the most profound impression was of the backwardness, conservatism, ignorance, and poverty of the mainland.
On the one hand, he really didn't expect that such a peaceful and prosperous village, full of vitality, striving to keep up with the times, would emerge under the red regime.
On the other hand, as the leader of the village.
Whether it’s Secretary An’s simplicity and enthusiasm, Yuntai’s magnanimity and quality, or Zhaoqing’s humility and friendliness.
They all made him feel good about them and be moved by their personality charm.
But what he didn't expect the most was that through these three people, Hong Yanwu's hidden abilities were revealed.
For example, at the reception banquet.
After Secretary An paid his respects to the teachers, he consulted with Hong Yanwu privately.
What makes him difficult now is that the villagers will not live a good life now that they have money.
There are more and more people gambling and drinking, and there are also people having promiscuous relationships between men and women. I asked him if there was anything he could do.
This is a difficult problem involving human weakness.
It is indeed easy for people to be idle when they are full. Hard control can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause.
Hong Yankang felt that it was difficult to solve, but Hong Yanwu was able to fight poison with poison and suddenly saw the essence of the problem.
He didn't even stutter, saying that it was just because he had too much money, so it would be easy to handle.
"You, take a two-pronged approach. On the one hand, hold crafts and technology and sports and art competitions. Use material rewards and honors to lead the villagers' interests to healthy development."
"On the other hand, we also use financial punishment for morally corrupt behavior. Whoever acts recklessly will have their year-end dividends deducted as appropriate."
"In any case, if you are a good person, you will be rewarded, and if you fall for it, you will be punished. It is up to them to decide whether they want to be rich or poor."
Secretary An was enlightened after hearing this and thought it was reliable.
He immediately raised his thumb and drank the wine in the glass with a tilt of his neck.
After careful consideration, Hong Yankang couldn't help but say that this cousin really understood human nature.
It seems that if he is allowed to manage the company as the general manager, it will definitely be in order.
Then Zhaoqing and Hong Yanwu discussed the business situation,
Only then did Hong Yankang learn that tourism products from the Forbidden City and the Great Wall were also one of his cousin's sources of wealth.
Not only did they earn foreign exchange, but they also had a near-monopoly on sales channels.
Good guy, the entire factory in Longkou Village doesn't have enough for him to sell.
If you add in the clothing business, how much do you have to earn every month?
So Hong Yankang couldn't help but feel that he looked down on his younger brother.
What a terrible young man, with such a vision and such methods, considering his age.
Indeed, he should be regarded as a leader among the younger generation in the shopping mall.
The descendants of Hong Kong's business celebrities have absolutely no such ability to grow their hair from scratch.
No wonder people don't care about his one million, no wonder the second uncle values him so much and feels so relieved...
And just when Hong Yankang felt that he was getting to know Hong Yanwu better and better, and could understand him objectively.
As a result, Yuntai discussed the recently collected antiques with Hong Yanwu again, which greatly refreshed his knowledge for the third time.
He didn't expect that his cousin's cultural literacy was actually quite good.
I have been silently restraining myself from these things that are not valued much in the mainland.
Even with the feelings of family and country, to prevent these treasures from being lost overseas, the money was spent on this aspect.
This is to follow the path of Confucianism and businessmen, and it is also very Zhang Boju's idea.
Far from being comparable to those Hong Kong rich people who are too vulgar and only see real money, villas and yachts.
That's right, that's right, these are called children of aristocratic families, and this is what makes the Hong family unique.
What kind of businessmen are those people, and what real business principles do they know?
They are just speculators who have no foundation and rely on luck.
In short, during this meal, one after another, Hong Yankang discovered more and more surprises in Hong Yanwu.
Of course, he was increasingly surprised by what was hidden on Hong Yanwu.
Good guy, this cousin is really the second uncle's son, he is completely real and does not show his appearance.
It's really hard for him. How can he manage to be so perfect and inconspicuous at the age of twenty?
This is by no means a matter of being stable and mature, or young and mature.
But he didn’t take these things as a big deal at all!
If you look at it this way, how ambitious is he?
What's interesting is that just when Hong Yankang was secretly speechless and couldn't help but ponder this issue.
Only the next day, he seemed to have come across the real answer, but it was absolutely unacceptable to him.
On this day, Zhaoqing led the team and took the Hong family's relatives and several teachers to the Shihua Cave in a car, taking everyone to experience the beauty of the cave that has not yet opened.
The unexpected result came when Zhaoqing and Hong Yanwu were discussing the scenic spot service projects.
Secretary Lin of the county party committee, who had given great support to Longkou Village and had been kind to Zhaoqing, also brought people to inspect the work.
When they saw them, they naturally came over to chat. Seeing Hong Yankang's attire, he found out that they were Hong Kong businessmen.
Secretary Lin was so excited that he not only accompanied us throughout the tour, but also held a banquet and invited us to lunch.
If nothing else, this year is experiencing a boom in overseas investment. Secretary Lin also wanted to ask Hong Yankang to invest in the scenic spot for his own political achievements.
And he has a big appetite. I hope Hong Yankang can build a large hotel with an area of 10,000 square meters.
That means at least tens of millions of dollars of capital investment.
But how much money did Hong Yankang bring? And the situation was unknown, so how could he promise so easily?
Naturally, I left this matter to Hong Yanwu.
Good guy, he never expected that Hong Yanwu, a lion, opened his mouth so loudly that he was almost stunned.
This guy actually brazenly said that if we don’t build an ordinary hotel, the standards are too low.
If you want to build it, just build a standard mountain villa hotel like the "Fragrant Hills Hotel".
The key is to see if the county's preferential policies are sincere.
For example, the cost and age of the land.
For another example, can the credit union in the county provide part of the loan?
Seeing that there is no hope of making a profit in a few years, after building the villa and providing jobs for the store, they can't bear all the financial pressure, right?
Upon hearing this, Secretary Lin immediately glowed with radiance without saying a word, full of promises.
The result was good. After finishing the meal and drinking heavily, it was witnessed by Zhaoqing and many county party committee officials.
A hotel investment involving a capital of 25 million to 30 million was decided so hastily as if it was drunken talk.
