Wang Yizhi's parents are both in their seventies, but they are tough, deaf and blind, and can do a lot of physical work.

His mother also prepared a red envelope, one for each person, even Wang Yizhi and his wife also had it, the money was not much, only twenty yuan, and she was very happy to see that they had all accepted it.

They lived in an old-fashioned wooden house, with wooden walls, mud floors, and old tiles on the roof, and many places showing signs of water leakage.

At night they slept in these three wooden huts, and there were not enough beds, so they made three floors with straw. The quilt is thick and heavy, but it's not warm at all, and it's probably been a few years.

Hu Youmin is okay, but Wang Pengfei can't get used to sleeping, and he can't sleep for a long time. Hu Youmin said to him: "Don't move around all the time, a little heat in the bed will make you run away." ”

"I don't want to move, this quilt is too hard, a little musty, and it feels a little damp. He said aggrievedly. Hu Youmin smiled and said: "Others sleep like this every day, you can't stand it if you sleep for one night?"

"No, I said it, and my dad said the same tone. He turned away. Hu Youmin didn't bother to pay attention to him, closed his eyes and fell asleep soon.

After breakfast the next day, they were ready to return, and when they left, Hu Youmin took out 5,000 yuan to his grandmother, and she didn't accept it: "It's too much, I've seen a lot of money in my life, I can't ask for it." ”

Wang Yizhi persuaded on the side: "Mom, you just accept it, this is a little filial piety of the junior." Everyone persuaded her for a long time before she carefully accepted it.

In the reluctant retention of his parents and relatives, Wang Yizhi took everyone away from the home that had raised him for more than ten years, and he turned back step by step, with tears in his eyes.

When they arrived at the township government, the cadres on duty enthusiastically said to Wang Yizhi: "Director Wang, our township chief and secretary have learned that you have come back and want to invite you to a meal." After saying that, he was going to call the leader.

Wang Yizhi stopped him and said: "Thank you township chief and secretary, we are going back to Baisha today, we won't eat dinner, and when I retire, I'll come back to drink with you." ”

Back in Baisha, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening. Hu Youmin and Wang Lei went to make dinner, and Wang Pengfei hurriedly went to the bathroom to take a bath when he entered the house.

After washing, he wiped his hair and said, "It's much more comfortable, Dad, you are too wise, jump out of that poor place, otherwise we will all suffer with you." ”

"You stinky boy, what's wrong with suffering a little? You have to suffer hardship, you are a master, you are not a son, but the score is quite big. Wang Yizhi said angrily.

Wang Pengfei didn't dare to quarrel with his father, turned on the TV to watch the ball game, Jingjing and Bihan wanted to watch cartoons, so he had no choice but to give them the remote control and go to the balcony to smoke.

The days of the holiday pass very quickly, and I have to go to work again in a blink of an eye. Hu Youmin asked Hong Jianming to take his parents back and go to work in the company.

On the second day of work, Meng Wanqing came to Hu Youmin by discussing the matter of BJP Company. He explained: "I have arranged for others to do all this, and I can't interfere anymore." ”

She pouted and said, "You are the boss, it's not up to you to decide what to do?" He said patiently: "It's not like this, there are so many things in the company, I can't take care of everything, right?"

"You can only give the work to other people to do, and if you give it to others to do, you have to respect others, and you step in from time to time to let others do things?"

She rolled her eyes: "I don't ask about this, it's always okay to ask about opening a cosmetics company, right?" He asked strangely: "Didn't you open it first?" Why do you still ask about this?"

"Who said I wouldn't open it? This is the first company I have opened, and I must open it, and I must open it well. She said reluctantly.

He had no choice but to say: "What company you want to open is your own business, you do BJP well first, you can't be half-hearted, if this company is successful, I will consider opening a cosmetics company with you." ”

I finally coaxed her away and let out a long breath. I really don't understand what this little princess thinks about all day long? Throw her into a poor ravine and live for a while, and she won't be so willful.

A few days later, two uninvited guests came to Hu Youmin's office. Zeng Xingwang, the mayor of Yuyang City, brought Director Tao of China Merchants Bureau to visit Hu Youmin, hoping that he would return to his hometown to invest.

Zeng Xingwang is in his forties and comes from the grassroots. He used to be a middle school teacher, but he was transferred to the township government and climbed up step by step.

He is a doer, and he has always looked down on an old officialdom like the secretary of the municipal party committee, and from time to time he wants to squeeze out the secretary of the municipal party committee, and the two of them fight very hard.

Officialdom requires strategy, strength, and more importantly, political achievements. He always wanted to visit Hu Youmin and invite him to return to his hometown to invest, but the last time he had an unpleasant scene, he was embarrassed to come.

Hu Youmin was caught at a class reunion and beaten up at the police station for no reason, and he took this opportunity to arrest the public security bureau and vigorously rectify the public security contingent and pay close attention to social security and the investment environment.

Thinking of the past so long, Hu Youmin's anger also disappeared, so he took Director Tao to try his luck. I hope that Hu Youmin will look at the face of his parents and fellow villagers and invest some money in his hometown.

Hu Youmin received them very warmly, and after listening to their intentions, he asked with a smile: "What do you need me to invest in?"

Mayor Zeng said: "Any aspect is fine, as long as Mr. Hu returns to his hometown to invest, our city will fully support and cooperate." ”

After speaking, he motioned to Director Tao to hand over the information on investment promotion to Hu Youmin. He took a look at it, mainly because of the city's preferential policies for attracting investment.

The preferential margin is larger than that of the economic development zones in the province, and the counties and cities below are also desperate to grab it in order to attract a little investment.

He put down the information and said: "Although I am a native of Yuyang, what are the specialties of my hometown, and what places are worth investing in? ”

Director Tao glanced at Mayor Zeng and first introduced: "Yuyang is the land of fish and rice in southern Hunan, and rice and aquatic products are famous in the whole province. ”

"In recent years, our city has vigorously developed aquaculture, and initially formed an aquaculture industry chain led by soft-shelled turtle and pearls. ”

"There are many bamboo forests in our city, and the processing of bamboo products is also very famous, and the mats in Yuyang account for half of the consumer market in southern Xiangnan. ”

"In the industrial sector, although the city has been supporting and developing, the lack of capital, technology and talent has always been the weakness of our city. ”

"In order to speed up the city's industrial development, the city set up an economic development zone last year, located in Taishan Town, close to highway exits and national highways, as well as water terminals and railway stations. ”

Seeing Hu Youmin smiling and silent, Mayor Zeng continued: "In recent years, we have vigorously rectified the social security and investment environment, improved the quality of the people, and made every investor feel at home. ”

"In terms of preferential policies, we have done our best, and the most important thing is that we have the ability and confidence to ensure that these preferential policies are put in place to ensure that all the legitimate rights and interests of investors are guaranteed. ”

Seeing them looking at him blankly, he was embarrassed to perfunctory them, it is the same wherever they invest, and if there is a suitable project, it is reasonable to invest in their hometown.

He smiled and said to them: "Mayor Zeng and Director Tao, thank you for looking up to me, and it is my bounden duty to contribute to the construction of my hometown." ”

"But as a businessman, you also have to talk about the return on investment, and please understand. In a few days, I will go to Yuyang City to inspect and see if there are any projects suitable for our investment?"

"For the specific itinerary, please contact Director Tao and Minister Tian of our company's strategic development department, and I will invite the two leaders to have a light meal at noon. ”

After speaking, he called Tian Xiaoyu to call her, and after introducing them, he said to her: "The two leaders invited us to visit Yuyang, and you and Director Tao discussed the itinerary." ”

After eating at noon, Director Tao wanted to rush to pay, but Hu Youmin stopped him and said: "Mayor Zeng, Tao Bureau, don't rob me in Baisha, otherwise I won't have the face to go back to Yuyang." ”

Tian Xiaoyu took advantage of this gap and bought the order. The two were polite again, and they said goodbye and returned to Yuyang.

Two days later, Hu Youmin took Luo Juan, Tian Xiaoyu, and He Lijuan to Yuyang in two cars. Now it is open to the highway, and it takes more than half an hour to get on the highway.

Drive directly to the municipal-government compound, and Mayor Zeng and Director Tao will go downstairs to greet them. After a short break in the meeting room, go for a tour of the development zone.

The development zone covers a wide area, although there are not a few enterprises, but basically all of them have three links and one level. I drove around the car and there were no highlights to see.

Mayor Zeng, who accompanied him, saw that he was not very interested, and explained: "Because the development zone has just been established, there are not many enterprises here, but we have talked about several companies, and they all have investment intentions. ”

He said lightly: "Let's go to the townships and towns?" Mayor Zeng asked him which towns he wanted to see? He said indifferently: "Whatever, let's start with the nearby towns?"

"Then start from Taishan Town, pass through Xinghu Township and Chengguan Town, and go back to the city for dinner?" Zeng suggested that he nodded and said, "Okay, let's go." ”

The car drove along the county road to Xinghu Township, which is a hilly area with many small hills tens of meters high, and most of the hills are planted with low plants.

At first, he didn't know what he was planting, but when the car passed by the foot of a mountain, he saw that it was honeysuckle, and all he saw along the way was honeysuckle.

Let Hong Jianming stop the car, and he climbed up the mountain to see. Although it is still early spring, some honeysuckle flowers are beginning to sprout, as if to welcome their arrival.

Everyone else climbed up, and he asked Mayor Zeng: "How much honeysuckle is planted in Taishan Town, and how much planting area is there in the whole Yuyang City?"

"Taishan Town grows the most honeysuckle, followed by Xinghu Township and Fengjiapu Town, and four or five townships are also planted, but not much, and the entire Yuyang City adds up to about 30,000 acres. Mayor Zeng replied.

He asked quietly: "Is there a factory in Yuyang that processes honeysuckle? Where do ordinary people usually sell honeysuckle, and what is the price?"

"There is no honeysuckle processing factory in Yuyang, and the common people basically sell it to the dealers who come to buy it, and the dealers then sell the honeysuckle to the medicinal herb market or hospital. ”

"I don't know the purchase price, it shouldn't be high, the dealers have to make money, the wholesalers have to make money, it's estimated that it's only one-third of the market price. Mayor Zeng sensed his interest and took the initiative to introduce him.

He had an in-depth chat with Mayor Zeng for a while, and asked the farmers if they were willing to plant honeysuckle. Mayor Zeng smiled and said: "They plant the same thing, and if they have money, they will be more interested." ”

On the side of the road, there are many farmers in the paddy fields and pear fields, reinforcing the field stalks. They just looked at Hu Youmin's group curiously, and continued to shout loudly, driving the cattle to do things.

He went down the mountain and returned to the car, thinking that in the countryside of Dongshan Province and Nanzhou, many farmers used cultivators, and there was still a lot of lag here.

Next, Mayor Zeng led him to see the soft-shelled turtle farm in Xinghu Township and the pearl farm in Chengguan Town, both of which were relatively large.

He was very interested and chatted with those bosses for a long time, which made Mayor Zeng a little confused, and he was not sure which one he was interested in investing?

Back in the city, go to the best hotel in Yuyang, Yangzhou Grand Hotel for dinner. The secretary of the municipal party committee also came, and he warmly shook Hu Youmin's hand and said, "Boss Hu, you are welcome to invest in your hometown." ”

Hu Youmin said with a smile: "Secretary Wu, at the invitation of Mayor Zeng, come back to have a look, hoping to do a little bit for your hometown." ”
