Chapter 470: The Avenue to Wealth Plan
Knowing grace and repaying is a traditional Chinese virtue, and those who do not forget to dig wells do not forget to do so, and those who do not know how to repay must be condemned by society.
Li Yan himself admitted in front of the media that he spent his childhood in Zhangjia Village, which is his second hometown, and after making a fortune, he did not provide much help to the village, which will inevitably be criticized.
There are mixed reviews of him on the Internet, saying everything, and some more rational netizens believe that those people in Zhangjia Village have no right to ask Li Yan to do anything, and there is no law that stipulates that if you get rich, you must help the people in the village find jobs.
Reporters from other newspapers and television stations rushed all the way to Zhangjia Village to conduct interviews, hoping to know the most real situation from more villagers.
As the head of Zhangjia Village, Zhang Run has a high prestige and is also the person with the most right to speak, and in an interview with reporters, he made excessive demands on Li Yan from some villagers, proving that what Li Yan said before was true.
In addition to finding a job, several families had difficulty borrowing money from him, and as long as the situation was true, Li Yan would borrow some more or less.
In their mouths, Li Yan is still quite good, not as impersonal as he said in the interview video.
A more clever reporter did not go to Zhangjia Village, but to Li Yan's hometown of Qixing Town, Dening County, which was his first hometown.
I interviewed the leaders and residents of the town, and they had a completely different rhetoric, and they spoke highly of Li Yan, and some interviewees even scolded the people of Zhangjia Village for not knowing what to do.
In any case, Li Yan funded the construction of mountain roads in the village, otherwise it would be a question whether the mountain roads could be built by now.
Walking on the flat cement mountain road every day, but scolding the road builders, is this what people should do?
At the beginning of the establishment of the Rock Distillery, Li Yan invited a large number of experienced winemakers from his hometown, many of whom are now high-paid families with a monthly income of more than 10,000 yuan.
Moreover, with the expansion of the distillery's business, the number of employees continues to expand, as long as they apply from Qixing Town, they will be hired first, so now many people in the town are working under Li Yan.
If they are farming at home, or doing a small business, where do those who have no education or education have the opportunity to earn more than 10,000 yuan a month, these are all given to them by Li Yan, and many people are grateful to Dade from the bottom of their hearts.
Li Shang is in charge of the rock wine industry, and some projects in the town need to raise funds, and Li Shang often contributes, so that the town leaders are full of good feelings for their family.
As soon as the report of Qixing Town came out, the trend of public opinion on the Internet suddenly changed, and most netizens knew what was right and what was wrong.
If Li Yan was really an ungrateful person, he would never take such care of Seven Star Town, which shows that he is not a black-hearted businessman who forgets his roots.
As for the original interview video, it is obvious that some reporters deliberately took it out of context and deliberately used it to attract the attention of netizens.
In the interview, it was only mentioned that Li Yan refused to help the villagers arrange jobs, but did not say the specific reason, that is, he deliberately misled the public.
It's a pity that the public is not completely stupid, similar things have happened more than once, and netizens will only listen to the words of the villagers of Zhangjia Village.
Now that the truth has been revealed, it is nothing more than that some people in Zhangjia Village are not greedy enough, and the conditions put forward are more excessive than the other, so Li Yan will refuse their request.
Not only does he have a monthly income of more than 10,000 yuan, but he has to work easily and decently, and he has no education and work experience, this kind of good thing can only be found in a dream, and Zhangjiacun has become a big laughing stock on the Internet for a while.
After clarifying the truth, Li Yan did not pursue the villagers who smeared him, but asked the two reporters who provoked trouble out, and he wanted to see who was behind the trouble.
The two little reporters offended Li Yan and have been fired from their original units, knowing that it is difficult to continue to mix in this industry, and they want to go back to their hometown to avoid the limelight.
However, before he could pack his luggage, he was "invited" by Chen Aili to a private room in a hotel with a few strong men.
Looking at the two people in front of him, Li Yan said indifferently: "I heard from the people in Zhangjia Village that the two of them took the initiative to go there for an interview, and they went to me, and they maliciously slandered me in this way, which is not small." ”
The eyes of the two reporters flickered a few times, and one of them said a little timidly: "Mr. Li, we didn't mean to slander you, but those villagers have something to hide, and we are also deceived." ”
Li Yan's cold gaze swept over the faces of the two, and said lightly: "I don't care if you mean it or not, if no one instructs you, you dare to report it on the Internet?"
The two glanced at each other, and another male reporter wearing glasses smiled bitterly: "It's not a command, someone provided information anonymously, we think that as soon as this news is released, it will inevitably become a hot topic, so we posted the manuscript on the Internet without finding out the truth." ”
"Anonymous information?"
Li Yan couldn't help frowning, it seemed that the clue was broken here, and it was more difficult to find out who was behind the scenes.
"Then why did you give money to the villagers being interviewed?" asked Chen Aili.
The man with glasses pursed his lips and said: "Li is always a big boss with a net worth of hundreds of millions, and the villagers are afraid of offending people, so they are reluctant to speak at first, and they are not willing to be interviewed until I promise to pay them." ”
Li Yan was quite speechless, just for the small profit of a few hundred yuan, those relatives sold him, it was really cheap.
"Mr. Li, we did not do it right, I apologize to you and punish myself with three cups. ”
The man with glasses poured a full bottle of liquor into the goblet, and without waiting for Li Yan to agree or not, he drank not a drop of the wine in the cup in one go.
"It's the first one and two more. The man with glasses endured the discomfort, slowly added wine to the empty cup, and quickly drank the second glass.
After three glasses of white wine, the man with glasses burped, his cheeks became bright red, and he could smell his wine from afar.
The other expression changed, he didn't drink as much as the other party, but now he couldn't pick and choose, and it was rare to get out of the hotel safely.
After three cups of self-punishment, the two became a pair of difficult brothers, their faces were terribly red, and their walking steps were vain and weak.
Seeing that the two of them poured three glasses of wine in one go, Li Yan was stunned, and then smiled bitterly: "I didn't say what I want to do with you, there's no need to do this, but I drank it all, and the matter was written off." ”
The man with glasses stammered, "More...... Thank you Mr. Li for your magnanimity. ”
Sending the two reporters away, Chen Aili asked in a low voice: "Boss, is it really easy to let them go like this?"
"Otherwise, what else can I do?" Li Yan smiled faintly: "I can't catch the big fish behind them, these small fish and shrimp are useless, now I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at me, if something happens to the two reporters at this time, many people will suspect that I am maliciously retaliating." ”
After hesitating for a moment, Chen Aili continued: "Boss, what they just said may not be the truth, do you want me to send someone to secretly watch them again?"
Li Yan felt that there was no need for this, but he was not afraid of 10,000, just in case, Chen Aili considered this, and then left it to him.
In a previous interview with reporters, Li Yan promised that he would pay more attention to the development of Zhangjia Village and help his second hometown embark on the road to getting rich quickly.
You have to do what you say, otherwise someone is likely to make a fuss about it.
It is not a simple matter to help a village with hundreds of people get rich, as the saying goes, it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish, rather than sending money directly to the villagers, it is better to teach them a long-term way to make money.
Zhangjia Village has mountains, fields and rivers, resources are quite abundant, there are people in the village who have tried to plant herbs before, but the harvest is not optimistic, and the price can not be sold, and finally the loss of money.
Li Yan and his uncle Zhang Run discussed the matter in detail on the phone, and learned that the soil in Zhangjia Village is not suitable for growing most herbal medicines, so the poverty alleviation method of the rock medicine industry is not suitable for Zhangjia Village.
Li Yan quickly changed his thinking, it is not suitable for growing herbs, it is always suitable for growing vegetables and raising poultry.
There is a chain store in Dening County, and although the business is not as hot as in the provincial capital, it also needs to purchase a lot of ingredients, which can turn Zhangjia Village into a food supply base for fake taste.
If the scale is expanded in the future, it can not only supply Dening County, but also deliver high-quality ingredients to other cities.
Zhang Run listened to Li Yan's idea and felt that it was extremely feasible, and that a large number of laborers in the countryside were now going to work in the cities, and once Li Yan's plan was successfully implemented, it would definitely be able to attract some of the laborers back.
Otherwise, if this goes on for a long time, when the older generation is gone, Zhangjia Village will sooner or later become an uninhabited ** and be completely abandoned.
Jiangnan is an economically developed place, and it is difficult to find a poor village like Stone Village, and if you pull out a family at random, you can save tens of thousands of dollars, and you don't need Li Yan to lend them money.
After Li Yan and Zhang Run carefully summed it up, they named the project "Prosperity Avenue", and villagers who are willing to participate in Prosperity Avenue can sign a contract with the fake taste restaurant to ensure that the ingredients will not be unsalable, and the restaurant will regularly and quantitatively send cars to the village to buy them.
After the news spread, the villagers of Zhangjia Village were skeptical, and some people were worried that Li Yan was taking revenge maliciously, instigating them to spend their money to raise chickens and vegetables, and when they were ripe, they were unwilling to buy them, or buy them at a low price.
Of course, there are also some villagers who have a good relationship with Li Yan and immediately choose to join, they know that Li Yan is a person, and he is by no means the kind of person with a small belly.
Zhang Run naturally hoped that every household in the village could have a wide range of financial resources, so he held a villagers' meeting and made a guarantee for Li Yan at the meeting, and if there was a problem in the future, he would come to him.
In fact, the villagers can understand when they think about it, with Li Yan's identity, it is unlikely to do that kind of thing that breaks his word and gets fat, and these rich people care about face the most.
In less than three to five days, most of the families in the village have voluntarily joined the Prosperity Avenue plan, which family raises chickens, which family feeds pigs and which family grows vegetables, all arranged by the village, if there is a disagreement, and then draw lots to decide which aspect to engage in.
Those relatives who had said bad things about Li Yan in front of reporters didn't know what to do, and seeing that other people in the village were on the road to getting rich, they also wanted to join, but they were worried that Li Yan would not agree.
They regret that they shouldn't be greedy for those hundreds of dollars, but it's a pity that there is no regret medicine in the world, and they don't say anything about offending Li Yan, and they let other villagers look down on them, and they are often pointed at and gossiped behind their backs.
It is because of these few rat feces that the reputation of the entire Zhangjia Village has been ruined, and now the people of Zhangjia Village are said to be white-eyed wolves on the Internet.
Forget about the others, two of them are relatives of Li Yan, and they also complained in front of reporters, counting all kinds of things he is not, making it seem that Li Yan owes them tens of millions and refuses to repay the debt.
As the vast majority of families became members of the Avenue to Prosperity, those few people couldn't sit still and cheekily came to Zhang Run for help.
Zhang Run didn't agree, he knew that Li Yan must still be angry with these people, and if it were someone else, he would still be half angry.
Ruining people's reputation is like killing their parents, not to mention a public figure like Li Yan, who regards reputation more than money, and was stabbed in the back by several relatives in Zhangjiacun, how could he not be resentful.
Before, he didn't even care about his relatives, and now he still wants to enjoy the benefits brought by Li Yan, but he doesn't have a door!
It was useless to beg Zhang Run, but a few people did not give up, brought gifts to Li Yan's grandparents and asked the two old men to help intercede.
The second elder didn't know what the situation was at first, but later Zhang Run told them what happened, and the second elder directly drove out the people who came to intercede, and even confiscated the gifts.
Li Yan was brought up by them since childhood, and regarded him as their own grandson, these people slandered Li Yan so much, and now they see the benefits and want to get a piece of the pie, even if Zhang Run agrees, they will not agree.
