Today, he was called to the stage by Uncle Long, Zhou Fangyuan actually didn't care, there was not much information about him on the Internet, but the people of Beitong knew a lot about him.

Although he has not had a very clear concept all along, how many people in Lin'an don't know about Brother Da Ma? I'm afraid there are very few. The same is true for the people of Beitong, Yuanfang Group has become the largest private enterprise in Beitong from about two or three years ago, and now it covers many fields, occupying a certain market share in the field of Internet and offline life.

"I never thought that your company would actually do so much work to benefit the people, and if you do this, it will put a lot of pressure on the company's capital chain, right?"

Uncle Long doesn't do a company himself, he has some investment outside at most, but he has been born in society for so many years, and has experienced the golden age of Hong Kong Island films, when film companies have ups and downs, on average, hundreds of companies will go bankrupt every day, and hundreds of companies will be established, including himself, he also ran a film company when he was young, so Uncle Long still knows more or less about the company's operation.

And his question is actually what many Beitong people are concerned about.

Yuanfang Group assists the municipal government to stabilize the prices of some commodities in Beitong City, of course, it is impossible to go against the trend, if this year, all commodities have a slight increase in price, and it is the kind of nationwide, no matter how powerful the Yuanfang Group is, it is impossible to keep the price alive, so it is really necessary to drag down the group. What Yuanfang Group has done is to suppress the prices of some artificially inflated commodities within its own capabilities. It's like saying this year, no, it's last year, that is, in 05, the pumpkin in Beitong City was deliberately hyped.

The price of pumpkin even climbed to about 5 yuan per kilogram at one point. Pumpkins are a huge amount of production, and it is difficult to increase the market price significantly. But on the contrary, some people want to fry in different ways, including but not limited to deliberately reducing the amount of delivery, deliberately blocking inferior melons in the ground, and so on. These speculators, when they make this kind of money, don't care what the people and melon farmers think. Zhou Fangyuan has seen similar reports on the Internet more than once in his previous life, such as some speculators, when speculating on crops such as garlic and peppers, they deliberately lower the purchase price for farmers, making it unprofitable for farmers, and raising the purchase standards, resulting in a large number of crops that are actually not very good-looking rotting in the field.

Turning around, on the sales side, they have frantically raised prices, so that the common people have to accept high-priced crops.

These people are actually quite hateful, but they are still very smart, and they will not fry agricultural products that are related to the daily life of ordinary people, such as rice, flour, grain and oil, such as cabbage and potatoes. On the one hand, it is not moving, and on the other hand, it is also worried that it will be hit hard by going too far. What they are eyeing is often something dispensable.

It's like chili, do you say it's a necessity for daily life?

It may be that for some areas, it is not only a matter of living habits and tastes, such as Yunnan Province, where the climate is humid and rainy, so you need chili peppers to calm the moisture in your body. But for the people in more places, chili peppers cannot be regarded as a necessity, there is a can, there is no, and it is not impossible. The same is true for pumpkins, now that the people are living well, the market has a complete range of commodities and sufficient supply, and pumpkins can only be regarded as a concoction at most. Speculators fry pumpkin, even if the price of pumpkin soars, it doesn't matter, people who want to eat it, naturally pinch their noses and admit it, and those who don't want to eat it simply don't buy it.

Middlemen, reduce the pressure of freight, reduce labor, logistics and other losses, but the money is still the same, one in and one out, in fact, the income is still increased.

It seems that they are not wrong, but in fact, what to do is more uncomfortable for those melon farmers who grow pumpkins, and the people are not comfortable. Yuanfang Group took this into account, and in 05 years, it used the group's channels to transport pumpkins from other places, and local pumpkins were also purchased in large quantities, and then sold at normal prices. Let's not talk about the background of this group of speculators, anyway, as far as Zhou Fangyuan knows, this group of people has fried the prices of pumpkins in several provinces this time.

But on the Beitong side, the price of pumpkin is affordable, and the price is much cheaper than other surrounding cities.

This is what Yuanfang Group has been doing in recent years, as long as the price fluctuations are abnormal, they will assist the city government to stabilize prices. On the other hand, if it is a normal price rise, then there is nothing to say, people cannot act against the sky, the price of a certain commodity, the price of the whole country is rising, but you want to suppress it here? That is just like a joke, it belongs to the Arabian Nights.

"There must be pressure, but our distant group, since it started in Beitong, and I myself am also from Beitong, born and raised here, I thought that I should do something for my hometown. ”

Facing Uncle Long's question, Zhou Fangyuan replied simply.

"But it's not that simple, is it?"

Uncle Long looked at him with a grin.

Zhou Fangyuan was a little dazed.

Then I saw Uncle Long take out a small notebook from his pocket.

"Actually, when I came to Beitong City, almost a week, I was fortunate to meet with some leaders of the Beitong Municipal Government, and also chatted. ”

Uncle Long began to flip through the book in front of everyone.

Zhou Fangyuan was stunned, and then smiled helplessly.

"On this, are the Yuanfang Group in recent years, the specific contribution made to Beitong City, let's take a look, 01 years, Hongqi Square renovation project, Yuanfang Group invested 20 million, donated to the government free of charge, I also have all the expenditure details of the appendix here, it is indeed all used in the construction of the square. In 02, the renovation of the post and telecommunications building, the internal maintenance of the exhibition hall, the internal maintenance of the Cultural Palace, the maintenance of the stadium runway, and the Municipal Games, Yuanfang Group invested a total of 50 million. In 03, the maintenance and renovation costs of Beitong Park, the overall decoration of the children's park, and the new construction of Yongtai Park, Pingshui Park, and Confucian Temple Street Park, especially the latter three parks, were funded by Yuanfang Group, with a total investment of 300 million yuan. There are also 04 years, 05 years, Binxi Road renovation, Dongmen Street renovation, Confucian Temple maintenance ......"

Uncle Long said one by one, and the entire stadium of Nuoda gradually quieted down.

Even if it is a Beitong person, to be honest, few people know that these projects will be related to the Yuanfang Group.

However, in fact, Zhou Fangyuan did this, and there were many disagreeing voices within the group, but they were all suppressed by him.

Many people say that Huaxia is not good and that it is not good, Zhou Fangyuan advised these people from the bottom of his heart, if you think Huaxia is not good, then hurry up and immigrate. There are also people who think that their motherland is very good, but they feel that their hometown is not good or bad, for such people, Zhou Fangyuan advises, why don't you study hard and work hard to transform your hometown?

Zhou Fangyuan is very satisfied with the country and his hometown, of course, it doesn't mean that he can't find faults, there is no absolute perfection in the world.

Beitong City, there are actually a lot of problems, and he also had various complaints in his previous life. In this life, when he has money and ability, he no longer complains, but wants to transform his hometown. What does it matter if you spend some money? As long as your hometown is better, you will feel a sense of accomplishment when you see it.

These things have little to do with the daily life of the people, but when they are really said one by one, everyone is stunned: it turns out that Yuanfang Group has done so many good facts for Beitong City?

In particular, the renovation of those roads has made the most congested area in the west of Beitong City smooth. The construction of several large parks has also allowed the people to have a space for fitness and rest after tea and dinner.

It doesn't directly bring any direct benefits, but the change in the living environment still changes the whole life a lot.

At this moment, countless people looked at the young figure sitting next to Uncle Long and felt admiration.

There are many entrepreneurs and people who make money, and there are more and more people who have money to do charity, especially in recent years, with the development of the Internet, these news have gradually spread among the people. However, like the Yuanfang Group, it has silently participated in urban renovation projects, and has repeatedly donated money and materials by itself, often spending hundreds of millions of dollars, but there is no rumor. It stands to reason that no matter how secretive, there are always locals who have something to do with the government, even if any relatives in the family work in that department, they can more or less know some news that ordinary people don't know.

But even these people don't know about it, just look at how hidden the distant group is.

It was also Uncle Long, who bypassed Zhou Fangyuan and quietly contacted the Beitong government to get these materials. Then when Zhou Fangyuan was completely defenseless, he poked it out so straight, in fact, it doesn't matter, the Yuanfang Group is a good person, and he doesn't worry about eating and hanging, but he didn't have any preparations before, and this is actually a little troublesome.

"But I'm curious, the urban renewal project should be the work of the government. As an enterprise, as long as you do a good job of paying taxes, in fact, it is already beneficial to the country and the people, and you are still investing money in urban reconstruction, and all of them are unprofitable projects, what is your purpose? Also, you have invested so much money to replace part of the government's work to a certain extent, so wouldn't the government's work be saved? Shouldn't this be what you do?"

Uncle Long closed the small notebook and asked with some curiosity.

Zhou Fangyuan turned his head to look at Uncle Long and raised his eyebrows.

Uncle Long nodded slightly, meaning that the leaders of the city already knew what he wanted to ask, and they also agreed.

Zhou Fangyuan put his mind at ease, he thought about it, "Yuanfang Group, there is no intention to replace or replace government projects, it is impossible and unrealistic, Yuanfang Group, just hope to contribute to the development of Beitong City." Whether the project makes money or not is not a question that we have considered from the beginning, and some people in the group also have objections, so I told them that it should be regarded as charity, but not for a single person or individual, but for the whole city. As for the part that Uncle Long, you said that the government can save it...... I know what you're trying to say, but I don't think it's a question to ask.

Local finances have always been very tight.

There are too many places to spend money in the city, urban construction, maintenance, construction and maintenance of public facilities. Healthcare, Education, Rule of Law, Energy...... The scope of a city to cover is too big, but today's Beitong City, is in the critical period of transformation, the government needs to spend a lot of money to try to transform the city, today I can let the government spend less money, then the government has more money, to do other things, in fact, theoretically, is not to save, but to save the part, into other results. ”

This is the truth, don't underestimate a city, even if it is the smallest prefecture-level city, the fixed annual consumption is not a small number. Yuanfang Group contributes to the construction of Beitong City, and the Beitong Municipal Government can put the saved power in other directions, and ultimately benefit Beitong, which does not matter.

Listening to his answer, Uncle Long couldn't help but applaud him.

There was also applause in the surrounding audience, and then the applause intensified, and finally it almost roared.

Zhou Fangyuan had to stand up, folded his hands, bowed around, and thanked everyone.

After the applause finally subsided again, Uncle Long stepped into the topic.

"Today's film week, you may not know, in fact, the earliest, it was Xiaoyuan who proposed it. We didn't know him at the time, and I hadn't met him, and then one day, my helper told me that the owner of a company in the mainland wanted to contact me, saying that he was going to have a movie week or something. In fact, I refused at first, because I didn't know who you were, and I was also afraid that you would be a white wolf with empty gloves and want to cheat me out of any benefits?

I was relieved and accepted the invitation for Film Week.

After I came to Beitong City, I also talked with Dong Chou many times, about the future of the domestic film market, about the future of action movies. We are generally optimistic about the domestic film market, but we have the same concerns about the future of action movies. So this film week, if it can be held, I hope it can be held every year, I hope this film week can become a gathering of our action filmmakers, telling the domestic audience that action movies are not dead, and there are still our people. Also tell young people who want to become action filmmakers, don't worry, don't hesitate, if you really like action movies, please join us.

This is the original intention of this movie week, and all of this started from Dong Chou's side, so I still want to thank you for your contribution to action movies. ”

Then, there was another round of applause. Zhou Fangyuan could only smile and accept everyone's kindness.
