Leaving Trevo Farm, Xu Qing returned to Carney Farm, the time was 12 noon, and the farm should have no guests.

The guests who come to visit are courtesy and do not stay for dinner.

When I returned to the farm, sure enough, there was only my grandfather chatting in the living room.

When Grandpa saw Xu Qing coming back, he smiled and said, "You kid is always afraid of receiving guests, so you always avoid it early." ”

Xu Qing sat next to his grandfather and said with a smile: "It's enough to have you to receive guests, I still need a hairy boy there." ”

Grandpa was amused by Xu Qing's words: "I usually say that you are not happy with your hairy boy, but now I take the initiative to say that I am a hairy boy, slippery!"

Xu Qing didn't care about his grandfather's slick comments at all, in front of his family, Xu Qing had always been very cheeky.

Dad said to Xu Qing at this time: "Many of the guests who came to visit this year brought their juniors, and they all wanted to chat with you.

Although it doesn't matter to you whether you chat with them or not, it's not good for you to avoid them every time, after all, they are guests, they are acquaintances for more than ten or decades, and there should still be etiquette.

In the future, if you go back to the farm for the New Year, you still have to come out to receive them, and it doesn't take much time, half a day. ”

Xu Qing nodded and agreed, if it weren't for the fact that there were too many guests who wanted to see Xu Qing, Dad would not have said anything about letting Xu Qing receive guests, because Xu Qing avoided it before, and Dad didn't say anything.

The people who came to visit all lived in Ambo Town, and the relationship with the Xu family was not bad, Xu Qing now lived in San Francisco for a long time, but the grandparents lived on the farm for a long time, so they should have a better relationship with these people.

In the afternoon, Xu Qing and Sophia continued to visit the guests, and the people who needed Xu Qing to visit in person were all people who had a good relationship with Xu Qing before.

Several of them were former members of the troublemaker team, and everyone sat and chatted in the town's café.

However, these people were a little restrained about Xu Qing, and their speech was far less smooth and natural than when they were making trouble before.

Xu Qing sighed lightly, the good childhood partnership can never go back, and there are some regrets.

Xu Qing also quickly saw that not only the relationship between Xu Qing and his childhood partner had changed, but the relationship between most people and his childhood partner would change when they grew up, and most of them would become strangers.

Because of various factors such as status, wealth, power, and situation between the two parties, it is impossible to have a pure partnership like childhood.

Xu Qing chatted with them for nearly an hour before leaving.

After looking at the time, it was only 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and it was still early, so Xu Qing simply went to Rick, the mayor of Ambo Town, to talk about building the airport.

Rick warmly received Xu Qing and them in the mayor's office, he was really warm, and the smile on his face couldn't be more enthusiastic.

Xu Qing was surprised, could it be that Rick already knew that he was going to talk to him about building an airport?

"Mr. Xu......" Before Rick finished speaking, he was interrupted by Xu Qing: "Uncle Rick, don't call me Mr. Xu, still call me Xu Qing as before." ”

"Okay, I'll still call you Xu Qing. Rickle said.

In the past, Rick used to call Xu Qing's name, but Xu Qing has developed too fast in recent years, and now he is a super-rich man with more than 3 billion US dollars.

Rick didn't know if Xu Qing's personality had changed now, and if he didn't like others to call him by his name directly, it would be embarrassing, so Rick first called Xu Qing directly by Mr. Xu.

But Xu Qing refused the title, and it seems that Xu Qing has not changed as before.

After some reminiscences between the two sides, Xu Qing said what he meant: "Uncle Rick, I want to build an airport in Ambo Town, you know that Ambo Town is a few hours' drive from the nearest airport in Grand Rapids.

And it's not a safe ride, there are always various animals jumping on the road, which leads to car accidents, so I wanted to build an airport in Ambo. ”

When Rick heard Xu Qing's words, his face immediately joyed and said, "Actually, I've always wanted to build an airport in Ambo Town, but the cost is a big problem.

It costs at least 10 million dollars to build an airport, and the annual airport maintenance costs are millions of dollars, and Ambo Town can't take out this money at all, now listen to what you mean, do you want to bear all the costs alone?"

"Yes, I bear all the costs. Xu Qing nodded.

Rick was embarrassed: "If you bear all the costs, then the airport is your private airport, and the rest of Ambo Town will not agree." ”

Of course, Xu Qing knew that others would not agree, just now he just said casually, let's see Rick's attitude first, now he already knows Rick's attitude.

"Since this can't be done, then the airport is funded by three parties, I, the Ambo town government, and the others, we each have a certain share of the airport, so that others should not object. Xu Qing said.

Rick pondered for a moment: "The three-party contribution you said is the best plan, but how to divide the shares is a big problem, if the distribution is not good, the airport will not be built." ”

Xu Qing said: "In this way, you inform the people who are interested in building an airport, and everyone will meet tomorrow in the town government to discuss the proportion of shares, the location of the airport and other issues." ”

Rick thought Xu Qing's proposal was good, so he agreed.

Xu Qing left the town government and returned to the farm.

After dinner, Xu Qing talked to his grandfather and father about building the airport.

They didn't object, with Xu Qing's current net worth, it would be no problem to build an airport by himself, not to mention that it was a tripartite investment, so that Xu Qing wouldn't have conflicts with others at tomorrow's meeting.

At 10 o'clock in the morning on the second day of the Lunar New Year, dozens of people sat in the auditorium of the town government.

These people are interested in the establishment of the airport, and their net worth is among the highest in Ambo Town.

Xu Qing sat in the first row, and Rick talked about the situation with everyone on the stage, and then began to speak freely, and he could say anything he had.

In fact, these people really want to build an airport in Ambo, but they can't afford to build and maintain the airport.

They calculated that if an airport in Ambo Town could be built directly to major airports in the United States, the total construction cost would be about $20 million.

If it goes directly to the airport in the western region, then it will cost more than 10 million US dollars, and they are not willing to pay any fee.

It's not that you can't afford it, but because the airport in Ambo Town is destined to be unprofitable.

There are too few people in Ambo and the surrounding towns who need to fly frequently, and only the wealthier people fly often.

Not only will it not be profitable, but it may have to put millions of dollars back into it every year.

So no one wants to pay all this money, it's a big deal to take a few hours of car to Grand Falls for a plane.

But now listening to Rick's meaning, Xu Qing seems to be willing to pay most of these expenses.

If Xu Qing's request was not excessive, they would be happy that there was an airport in Ambo Town.
