Chapter 17: Three Visits to the Thatched House (Ask for Support!Ask for Collection!)

"Reindeer Old Man" once represented a legend in Pucheng County.

The "reindeer old man" is named Wang Jingming, who is now in his sixties.

In the late eighties of the last century, he wrote a classic inspirational chapter in Pucheng County.

When Wang Jing was young, the death of his parents made him have to shoulder the burden of the family on his weak shoulders, relying on his hard-working hands and the spirit of not admitting defeat, after the reform and opening up, he knocked on the door of fate.

Starting from scratch, the road is blue, from a small farm with only seven or eight deer to the deer herd size of thousands of the first deer farm in China, Wang Jingming only took ten years, the products are sold at home and abroad, is the first foreign exchange earner in Pucheng County, but also the first 10,000 yuan household in Pucheng County in the eighties and nineties of the last century, is known as the "king of reindeer", people who come to visit and study are endless.

Then a tragedy struck, and fate kicked him off the trough of his life when he was standing at the peak of his life. When he introduced foreign investment to expand the deer farm, because of the uneven distribution of benefits, the previous partner went crazy and poisoned the deer farm, almost burning the deer herd, and causing the death of many employees, including Wang Jingming's wife, who lost his head overnight.

The accident caused a shock throughout the city. With the death of his family, the government's involvement in the investigation, and the prosecution of foreign capital, Wang Jingming was even almost imprisoned...... During this period, he did not know how much pain and struggle, but in the end he resolutely stood up, poured all his family wealth and took all the responsibility.

After this incident, Wang Jingming returned to a simple life of deep simplicity. But just like back then, there are still many visitors who come to visit us every day, including many familiar faces and some strangers who have never met before. Although Wang Jingming was no longer the "king of reindeer" at this time, and his foundation was declining, with his personality charm and rich experience in raising deer, people still affectionately called him "the old man of reindeer", and there was an endless stream of people who wanted to invite him out of the mountain, but they were all refused.

If the story ends here, then it is just a tragedy of life that is not uncommon.

But in Qi Zheng's memory, many years later, Wang Jingming re-started his business in the twilight of his life, and single-handedly created the largest deer park in the country.

It truly verifies the saying that "the greatest moment of life is not to never fall, but to always rise again after falling".

In his previous life, Qi Zheng had a relationship with him after the failure of his second venture, and was deeply encouraged and guided by him, so to speak, in Qi Zheng's previous life, this old man was definitely one of the people who had a profound influence on him.

But in this life, the two have not had the opportunity to meet before.

Wang Jingming lives in the suburbs of Pucheng County, quiet, good environment, he made two acres of land in the backyard, planted some fruits and vegetables, one is for exercise, and the other is to have a spiritual sustenance.

Qi Zheng's first two visits were in vain.

The first time he came to the door, he received Qi Zheng easily, without even asking his name, and after listening to Qi Zheng's intention, he did not stir up a ripple in his heart, and calmly refused Qi Zheng's warm invitation.

The second time, he knew Qi Zheng's name, and in the face of Qi Zheng's perseverance, he still did not let go, saying that he was not in good health, his pride was no longer there, and he just wanted to enjoy a free life. Then, after encouraging Qi Zheng, he sent him away.

Qi Zheng had a headache, he didn't know why Wang Jingming was full of pride in his previous life, and he was able to recreate miracles when he was dying; he didn't know if it was because he was too young to be convincing; anyway, Wang Jingming just showed an attitude that no matter how fanciful you are, I will not move, which made him very frustrated.

A person who can start from scratch when he has almost nothing, a person who was knocked to the bottom when he was at his peak, and a person who can re-emerge after the twilight of his life, will his heart be like water now? Qi Zheng didn't believe it, he could only attribute it to the fact that he hadn't touched the point yet, so he couldn't hit him directly.

......

After careful consideration, Qi Zheng came to the door for the third time.

Today's "reindeer old man" has gray hair and a slightly thin body, but he is energetic and agile.

Wang Jingming was a little helpless about Qi Zheng's persistence.

Because they are afraid of irritating themselves through twists and turns, the guests who have visited over the years have invariably avoided sensitive topics and rarely talked about them.

Many visiting guests also often send some books, most of which are self-cultivation and sentiment.

Wang Jingming understands what everyone's intentions are, he is no longer beautiful, and in the face of people's caution, he has also learned to interact with people easily, and even developed the habit of not asking the names of guests. After experiencing the wind, frost, rain and snow, Wang Jingming found that his heart was quiet and peaceful, and the past could no longer stir up much waves in his heart.

Generally, people who want to ask him to go out of the mountain basically give up after realizing their resolute attitude, and everyone believes that he really does not want to revisit his old business.

So he didn't know why Qi Zheng was so persistent.

"Elder Wang, I came here today mainly to talk about my confusion, and by the way, listen to your guidance. Qi Zheng said simply when he entered the door.

"Oh?" Wang Jingming was a little hesitant at this time, and he didn't know how to say this.

Qi Zheng sat down, and talked about his college entrepreneurship, about the construction of the manor brick by brick, about the joy of the harvest, about the helplessness of being targeted by the evil wolf and having to take action, and about the incomprehension of his classmates and friends after returning to his hometown to devote himself to agriculture......

"Do you know Mr. Wang? My girlfriend's family is very good, and now she is studying abroad. Although she chose to support my cause without hesitation, I know that she is also anxious about the future. Choosing the agriculture industry, the investment is large, the risk is high, and the return is low, once it fails, her family will be even more optimistic about us, and then what should we do next?" Qi Zheng sighed.

Wang Jingming was a little absorbed when he heard this, and couldn't help asking, "Then why did you choose to step into this industry?"

Qi Zheng seemed to have a light in his eyes, "But it's just a passion and passion." ”

"Elder Wang, I can see that the country's urbanization process has begun to accelerate, no one wants to live in poor and backward rural areas, and even inconvenient to travel, and the speed of absorbing people in big cities with perfect living facilities and more job opportunities will be faster and faster. ”

"However, the price of agricultural means of production has risen too fast, and the farmland water conservancy infrastructure is lagging behind, which has increased the cost of farming, weakened the ability to resist risks, and farmers have no profit. A large number of young and middle-aged laborers in rural areas have to give up agricultural production and leave land to women or the elderly at home to cultivate, which will directly lead to the aging of the agricultural population, the hollowing out of agriculture, and the bankruptcy of rural areas. ”

"On the other hand, peasants who go to the cities to work bear the high cost of living in the cities, but they do not enjoy the benefits that urban residents should have. A large number of left-behind children and left-behind elderly people have become a common phenomenon, and the land in their hometowns has gradually been forgotten to the point of being barren. ”

"Over the past 20 years, countless people have made class leaps in the midst of the surging rivers. But it must be admitted that the class status of the vast majority of people has not changed fundamentally – although their lives have also been turned upside down. When the turbulent flow of the times slowed down, people gradually discovered that wealth can be inherited, and poverty and hardship are also a kind of hereditary shadow. ”

Even more than a decade later;

There are still 900 million people in our country who have never used the toilet in their lifetime;

Never been on a plane;

Their per capita monthly disposable income is only more than 400 yuan.

Nearly 600 million people don't know or have never been online;

This is the silent majority that belongs to our country......

"My goal in establishing Jiagu is to keep more resources in the country and leave them to our people. But on the ground, I hope that Jiagu's responsibility is to let ordinary people who work hard and work hard live a prosperous and dignified life, and at the same time leave a green mountain and clear water for future generations to develop. Qi Zheng raised his head and looked into the distance, and said with a smile, "In the next ten years, or the ten years we are going through, we will definitely walk on thin ice." The dirtiness between reason and desire, the contest between long-term and short-term interests, and the contradiction between the acquisition of individual real interests and the overall ideal value identity...... Gambling will be everywhere. ”

Wang Jingming was silent for a long time, and said in a deep voice, "Qi Zheng, your ideas are really wild, I really didn't expect that at this stage, a young man's mind in his twenties could reach such a mature and thick point. ”

Different from today's young people, Wang Jingming's generation has a great sense of responsibility that cannot be escaped. They always hope to do something good for their hometown, for the nation, and for the country. Therefore, he has a deep recognition and touch of the sense of responsibility in Qi Zheng's discourse.

Qi Zheng knew that it was a critical moment, and whether he could convince Wang Jingming to do so, he continued, "Miracles are born every day in this world, and there are always some people with dazzling halos, but I am not. I need to take one step at a time, raise the land well, lead those who trust me, and let everyone's wealth accumulate quickly on the land of China! Most people have no faith, and they have lost to the life in front of them. If you don't have a passion for something, you can never be at the helm, and I'm not looking for employees, but people who can steer for me. ”

These words seemed to stab Wang Jingming's heart deeply, making his eyes darken and he was stunned for a long time, but he still had some measure, "I know about this matter, but even if you have any ideas, I am old and can't keep up with your footsteps." ”

"Elder Wang," Qi Zhengzheng said, "In Yunnan, the once famous 'Smoke King' has been released on medical parole. I heard from a friend that he still refused to admit defeat and was ready to start his own business again at an advanced age. You are much younger than him, are you willing to spend the rest of your life like this, what kind of dead life is this?"

Yunnan's most admired entrepreneur Qi Zheng, who is over seventy years old, was once knocked off the altar, and then spent more than ten years to ascend the throne of the "Orange King". Qi Zheng doesn't know if he has the idea of starting a business at present, but he might as well learn about him in the future to inspire Wang Jingming.

Wang Jingming's heart was moved. The former glory was short-lived, but many times he woke up at midnight and was always awakened by an inexplicable palpitation. There is always a strange circle, from relatives, friends, from the world around him, shackles him, shackles his body, blocks his thoughts, he is suddenly afraid to look back on himself before he dies, it turns out that life is like this and does nothing.

Perhaps passion is always associated with a person's responsibility to make a difference, and it will never fade.

"I hope that Elder Wang can take the time to go to Daling Village to see my farm and see the reality of my exchange. "Thinking about it at this stage, if Wang Jingming wants to fully trust himself, he can only work his grades and tell him in person that he doesn't have to mind his age at all, and he has the ability to make his ideals come true!

"I just hope that after a hundred years of you, Wang Lao, facing the old woman, I can tell her that you have lived up to the rest of your life after all. ”

Qi Zheng patted his buttocks, left these extremely bold words, and said goodbye to Wang Jingming, who was glaring when he heard this.
