Chapter 249: The Mayor's Family Banquet

"Come on, why do you still bring gifts, isn't this strange!"

Xu Mingmen greeted Zhou You's arrival, and when he saw Zhou You still carrying a gift in his hand, he immediately expressed his dissatisfaction.

Zhou You didn't mind, and immediately replied: "It's not a sensitive thing, you can rest assured." I just heard from the teacher that Mayor Xu was involved in calligraphy, so he did what he liked and got a piece of inkstone. ”

"Duan Yan!"

Xu Jie is not a fool who doesn't know anything, so he naturally knows the value of Duan Yan.

Duan inkstone is the first of the four famous inkstones in China, and it is a knot in the hearts of many people. Duan inkstone has not only been very valuable in ancient times, but also because of the depletion of several famous pit inkstones, in recent years, all the famous pits have been sealed, especially the old pit has been sealed for many years, there is no stone to be mined, the value of all the famous pits is increasing day by day, more and more precious.

It can be said that even if it is not an ancient inkstone, the modern inkstone is sold for one piece less and is becoming more and more rare.

"I have a heart!"

Xu Jie put away the gift and walked into the house with Zhou You.

If it was someone else, if it was another gift, Xu Jie might not accept it, and he wouldn't even be qualified to enter the house. However, traveling around is completely different, not to mention that they took the initiative to invite it, and its meaning is completely different.

Without waiting for them to reach the door, a mature woman with a bit of noble temperament greeted her warmly, and even said in a slightly surprised tone: "Presumably you are traveling around, sure enough, as the uncle said, there is a little bit of vulgarity in the elegance." ”

"Hello sister-in-law!"

Zhou You called Governor Xu uncle, so naturally he couldn't mess up his seniority and title.

Originally, Zhou You used honorific titles for Governor Xu, but after being blamed by Elder Xu and corrected by Governor Xu, Zhou You had to accept this intimate title that was enviable to death.

Mrs. Xu Hao nodded again and again, and invited Zhou You to the seat in the living room before saying, "You didn't treat us as outsiders is the best gift, why do you still bring things, really." ”

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Xu Hao immediately scolded in a reproachful tone: "Xiaoyou, I want to criticize you seriously! We have been in Mingyuan City for so long, and you have only come here for the first time, do you treat us as strangers?"

Zhou You didn't expect Mrs. Xu Hao to mention this, and hurriedly replied: "Mayor Xu has just come to Mingyuan City, and there is a lot of waste to be done, so the kid naturally doesn't dare to disturb at will." ”

Mrs. Xu Hao was very appreciative of Zhou You's answer.

I don't know how many people have such a network as traveling, and they will try all kinds of ways to get close to the Xu family and take the big boat of the Xu family. But it's good to travel around, in addition to being close to Xu Lao and Xu Jie, the others are like avoiding the plague god, if they are not invited, they will not come to visit, it is completely the opposite. But that's the case, Mrs. Xu Hao not only didn't blame Zhou You in the slightest, but valued him more and more.

Mrs. Xu Hao knew that Zhou You was the most proud disciple of Xu Lao, and he was the successor of Xu Lao's mantle, and with Xu Lao's status in the Xu family, this relationship alone was enough for her to value Zhou You;

Mrs. Xu Hao kindly put fruit on the table for Zhou You and asked, "Xiaoyou, I heard that you are going to build a private museum of international standards, I don't know if there is anything wrong?"

"Hmm!"

Zhou You replied very firmly: "Yes, this is not only my dream, but also the teacher's regret. In any case, I will do my best to build a private museum. ”

Mrs. Xu Hao is not a fool, she can naturally see the mystery of it, and sighed: "If it is an ordinary private museum, it is easy, but what you want is a private museum of international standards, which is enough to be compared with the provincial museum." I'm afraid that the difficulty of it can't be completed in a few decades, and even in the end, it will end up in a dead end, I wonder if you are prepared?"

"Whatever it takes!"

Zhou You gave a firm answer.

"I don't hesitate to do anything about it!"

Mrs. Xu Hao admired Zhou You's attitude very much.

In this society, there are many people who are satisfied with wealth and wealth, and would rather stay in place than compete for those achievements that are almost at their fingertips. However, Zhou You has today's financial resources and status, but he still forges ahead, and is even willing to gamble his entire life, how precious this spirit is in today's society.

Mrs. Xu Hao, who was very touched, said to Zhou You: "Xiaoyou, if you need anything, just ask." It's us who dragged down Grandpa, so naturally we have to make some compensation for you. ”

"Thank you, sister-in-law!"

People who know the Xu family can see Xu Lao's helplessness and sacrifice, so it is not surprising that they have such a mentality.

"Xiaoyou is here!"

Mayor Xu, who came out of the study, saw Zhou You and hurriedly stepped forward.

Although he met Xu Hao twice, there was almost no communication between the two sides, and it was not even a meeting in Pingshui. However, this does not prevent Xu Hao's appreciation and enthusiasm for Zhou You, Zhou You inherited Xu Lao's mantle will to start from scratch, and created such a huge family business in just half a year, and now it is even more necessary to realize Xu Lao's wishes, and Xu Hao, who has not overlooked the corner of his eyes, naturally has to respect again and again.

This was followed by some very kind façade words.

After sitting down again, Xu Hao asked very directly: "Xiaoyou, do you need our help with the museum?"

Zhou You didn't want to cause trouble to the other party, but when he saw Xu Jie on the side, he could only smile bitterly and replied: "The current land matter is a bit of a headache." Because international museums are quite huge, and the land they occupy is quite huge, and I can't handle it in a moment. ”

Xu Hao had obviously done his homework in this regard, and replied with a smile: "It's okay, there are not many others in Mingyuan City, but there are many wastelands." As long as enough land requisition fees are given, I believe that dozens of acres of land are still possible. ”

Mingyuan City has a bit of a mountain city flavor, with many mountains and few lands. However, the area of Mingyuan City is among the top three in Guangdong, and the total population is not as exaggerated as those coastal cities, and the average density of the population is actually the lowest in Guangdong.

In addition, the economic development of Mingyuan City in the past ten years is far from keeping up with the Pearl River Delta, and the economy is relatively backward, so that many adult peasant children abandon farming and go out to become migrant workers. Therefore, Xu Hao is the least worried about the land, he is only worried that the money for traveling around is not enough.

Zhou You thought that Xu Jie had gotten so much land in such a short period of time, so he naturally understood it in his heart, and all returned to a smile.

Xu Jie finally had room to speak, and reminded: "Brother, I think the blueprint for the green city we formulated lacks a lot of cultural literacy and is not perfect. If you have a museum to decorate it, it may be able to play an unexpected role. ”

Xu Hao's eyes lit up when he heard this, but he quickly calmed down.

Mrs. Xu Hao also murmured: "Yes, green is not primitive, which modern green city can be separated from the embellishment of culture." Far away, let's talk about Dongguan and Foshan, if they don't have a strong cultural atmosphere, what would they look like. ”

Xu Jie finally came up with a killer idea: "Yes, even if we build Mingyuan City as beautiful as Singapore and Vienna, I'm afraid it won't be recognized, after all, Mingyuan City doesn't even have a museum that records the history of Mingyuan." ”

"You convinced me!"

Xu Hao looked at his wife and younger brother helplessly, and said, "It's rare that you can speak for one person together, and I can't agree if I don't want to." ”

After a pause, Xu Hao said to Zhou You helplessly: "Xiaoyou, I don't ask you to make the museum to any international level, I only ask you to put this stroke on Mingyuan City and play the role of the finishing touch." A garden city that doesn't even have a museum is quirky enough. ”

Zhou You nodded silently.

Xu Hao asked: "If you have any requirements, just put them forward." ”

Zhou You had already thought about it carefully, and replied: "It's not a lot of requirements, after all, I didn't build for profit, so the location doesn't matter, just a little larger area." ”

Xu Hao saw that the ball was kicked back again, but he felt that it was not that he was cunning, but that he was easy to speak, so he didn't care.

Xu Jie reminded: "Brother, isn't there a lot of wasteland near the affordable housing community that is now under close construction? ”

"That's a good idea!"

Xu Hao seemed to be interested, and even took out the planning map of Mingyuan City from the study, spread it out and said, "This is a good idea." Our urban construction has always been a bit general, sports, commerce, entertainment, culture and other functions are concentrated together, causing a certain amount of chaos, this is not a qualified garden city, not even a green city. We can take this opportunity to plan the functions and powers of the city, which will be more conducive to the sustainable development of the city. ”

Xu Jie also said: "The affordable housing community can accommodate a considerable number of people, and in the blueprint, its role is only a diversion of the population in the city center and a means to reduce the pressure on public utilities." But now it seems that we can build on it and build it into a real cultural center. ”

Xu Hao nodded and said: "That's right, recently, those cultural bureau chiefs have complained to me, always saying that there are more and more students now, but the school's classrooms have been the same for ten years, and the teaching pressure is getting bigger and bigger, and many middle schools either want to expand the school scale or move to a better teaching environment." Maybe we can take this opportunity to play a role and make this cultural center a reality. ”

"There is such a good thing!"

Xu Jie couldn't have imagined that things would be so coincidental, it was simply a sleepy pillow, killing two birds with one stone.

Zhou You looked at the pair of brothers who were discussing in front of him, and he really had nothing to say. However, with such a superstructure, there is no place for Zhou You to interject, so he can only listen stupidly and memorize the content in his heart, and maybe he may not be able to use it in the future.

Long.

Xu Hao then woke up and snubbed Zhou You, and hurriedly asked, "I'm sorry, I get carried away when it comes to business." Xiaoyou, how many acres of land do you need? I will definitely meet you within the scope of my ability. ”
