Chapter 197: Walkers Without Borders 7
Early the next morning, Chen Feng began to prepare for departure. And the local first and second leaders also waited at the hotel early, and got up earlier than Chen Feng. In this regard, the sense of responsibility of these two local officials is quite strong.
Chen Feng politely invited them to have breakfast together, and the two couldn't ask for it.
The number one is named Chen Kefan, in his fifties, thin, wearing thick black-framed glasses, dressed plainly, and has the bookish temperament of a middle school teacher. Through conversations, I learned that he was really a teacher before.
Second-in-command Wang Aiguo, in his early forties, can be the second-in-command at this age, it can also be said that you are rich and strong, his dress is a little more elegant, it is a more popular style in this era, at a glance at his temperament, he knows that he is not from an ordinary family, with an enterprising aura. Compared with the number one, he seems to be more hopeful, and he doesn't have too much of a city government. When we talked, I directly said that their county is very poor and has many problems, and the main problem is not the problem of the natural environment, but the problem of people. It is these officials who have not played a good role as leaders and have not given full play to their subjective initiative to solve problems, as long as we all think of ways together and concentrate our efforts to do it, then we will definitely be able to solve the current problem of poverty. And this time, he also believes that as long as Chen Feng, a big philanthropist and the richest man in the world, helps them invest some money in a random project, he can help solve a big problem in the poor mountainous areas of their county.
If the two are compared, Chen Feng still appreciates this second-in-command. Chen Kefan's hand is calm, and he really hopes that Chen Feng can invest in their county, but he is also more twilight, and Wang Aiguo's vigorous enterprising spirit is missing.
After all, it was just breakfast, and he was going to the extremely poor township below, and Chen Feng didn't talk to them too much. After ten minutes, they finished this breakfast, and then set off together for the real first stop Xiaji Township, which is a special poor township with a total population of more than 50,000 people and a poor population of more than 20,000 people, and it is also the most famous in the province.
Chen Feng's charity trip this time, the team on the studio's side naturally helped collect some materials in advance.
Chen Feng had no intention of inviting two county officials to share the car with him. It's not that he deliberately put on a show, but his cousin and Haruko want to be in the same car with him, and it's obviously not easy to stuff the two strange old men in, not only the two girls are uncomfortable, but he is also uncomfortable. And he didn't want the two girls to change cars.
In the car, Zhao Xiaoyu told Chen Feng that Su Yuluo would arrive at the county seat here in the afternoon, and if there was no accident, everyone could meet in the evening. Then, she will go back to Xiuzhou tomorrow.
In fact, Zhao Xiaoyu can not be used at all this time. Chen Feng didn't mean to ask her to come, but she felt that she should follow Chen Feng's agent as her agent. just came to such a show, and it turned out that it was obvious that such a long journey by car was not what she liked. So, the plan to follow for a few more days was canceled by herself.
In a word, Zhao Xiaoyu is not a woman who can endure hardships, and she has been pampered since she was a child. The previous life. Chen Feng remembers that his cousin is rich and noble, and he has never suffered anything since he was a child. As soon as he graduated from university, he entered a foreign company with a good salary, and then he married a rich foreigner, and there was no possibility of hardship. And not to mention in this life, the family situation is much better than in the previous life, and he has been chong by Chen Feng's family since he was a child, and he is more pampered. She herself is also the kind of person who is not keen on going out and exercising. So. Chen Feng's charity trip this time, running outdoors all over the country, is obviously not suitable for her.
The first half of the road was normal, basically a hardened road, but the rest of the road was a bit choking. Not to mention the dirt and gravel roads, there are also potholes. It's also a shame that the quality of their team's cars can be good, but they are also bumpy enough.
Originally, there were only 20 kilometers of road, but it took less than two hours to drive.
As soon as they came, they saw a large number of people waiting at the entrance of the township government, and they also put up a long red banner that read, "Warmly welcome Mr. Chen Feng, a county leader and world-class philanthropist, to visit and guide."
What's more, there are two teams of primary school students wearing red scarves and school uniforms at this gate, one team of boys and one team of girls, after seeing Chen Feng and the county leaders getting on the bus, they waved the flowers in their hands in unison under the command of the adults, and shouted in unison, "Welcome! Welcome!"
This scene made Chen Feng feel a little painful, and he wanted to turn around and leave directly. But again, if he wants to really carry out charity and poverty alleviation on this side, even if he doesn't need these local snakes, he can't offend them.
Sure enough, there was no accident, the group of children, led by a group of adults, walked quickly towards them, and then the leading elementary school students presented flowers to them...... Wear a red scarf.
In fact, this process has been slowly abandoned in some developed areas, but it is obviously still very popular here, which can be seen from the expressions of the first and second leaders of the county who followed together, both of them were very useful and happy expressions at this time, and they also spoke to the two little girls who gave them flowers for a while with a friendly face.
Presenting flowers to Chen Feng is also a primary school girl, in her teens, she looks very cute and beautiful, especially a pair of big eyes, full of innocence and simplicity, otherwise she would not have been selected to offer flowers. Chen Feng also squatted down and talked to her for a while, knowing that she is now in the third grade of primary school in the township, and her name is Wang Erya, and looking at her appearance, she obviously doesn't know whether she knows Chen Feng, a world-famous star, just secretly looking at her big brother with a little curiosity, and there is no excitement or excitement in her expression.
Chen Feng liked this little girl very much, so he was not so disgusted by her act of offering flowers and wearing a red scarf for him just now, and took her hand and stood up.
At this time, the adults who had been surrounding him finally seized the opportunity to come up one by one to shake hands with Chen Feng very warmly, and desperately introduced themselves one by one, and several young people seemed very excited. A fat woman in her thirties, when she shook hands with her, she even cried excitedly, saying that she was a loyal fan of his, and then she held his hand and didn't let go. Chen Feng pulled several times and didn't pull her away, but it was not good to really pull her away. Fortunately, a leader beside her found out. Hurriedly helped pull away the hand given to the middle-aged woman. And then there was another bunch of polite and warm words.
Chen Feng was really impatient to deal with these officials, but he had to find a local guide here, and it was best for the township government to come forward, not to mention that the first and second leaders in the county were still with him.
Therefore, Chen Feng finally entered the gate of the township government under the embrace of their large group of people. Then he went with them into a large conference room and attended the welcome party they held for him.
Originally, the leaders of the township wanted the first and second leaders in the county to speak first, but both of them modestly signaled to let Chen Feng speak first.
Chen Feng did not shirk, if they let these big and small leaders speak first, it would not be over in half an hour. He didn't come here for a meeting, but to practice charity on the ground.
"I am very grateful for the enthusiasm of the leaders of Xiaji Township, but I am mainly here to do things this time, and I am very efficient. So, I don't think there's any need for that extra red tape. Don't treat me like a superior. I don't like this myself, and I don't want to trouble everyone. What I am most anxious about now is to go to the poorest villages in Xiaji Township to have a look and learn about them on the spot, so that those poor households can be helped as soon as possible. I have to travel to many places across the country for this charity trip, so I don't want to waste too much time every time I go to one place, and I hope you can understand. So, now I think you can send me a guide locally, okay?"
After Chen Feng's words were finished. After the scene was silent for several seconds, Wang Aiguo was the first to wake up. hurriedly took the lead in applauding, and then the applause on the scene rang out.
"What Mr. Chen said is very reasonable, let's all listen to him. Wang Aiguo said loudly. Chen Kefan also nodded in agreement.
The two county leaders agreed, and the people below naturally had nothing to say. So before everyone's buttocks were hot, they immediately got up and came out of the conference room together. Walk outside.
When he arrived at the gate of the township government again, Chen Feng saw that a large group of dozens of people were going to follow them together, so he immediately frowned, and immediately went over and whispered to Wang Aiguo.
Wang Aiguo immediately confessed that as long as two people who were very familiar with the local area came over, the rest did not need to follow together. This discouraged the rest of the people from trying to accompany them together.
Soon after, with the guidance of two local guides, we went to the nearest impoverished village. However, although it is the closest to the township, because the road is not easy to walk, the car cannot continue to drive after driving a few hundred meters, because there is already a mountain road up the mountain in front, so everyone can only stop and walk.
According to the two guides, they probably had to walk for more than half an hour to get to the first poor village, and the farthest poor village, they probably had to walk this mountain road for two or three hours to get there, and this is still a good weather, if the weather is bad, for example, if it rains, it may take three or four hours to walk the mountain road to get there.
Underdeveloped transportation and relatively closed traffic are common characteristics of poor areas. Even if Chen Feng has money, he can't build roads in these poor areas in one go, because in that case, even if he is the richest man in the world, he may not have enough money to build them. What's more, this article is mainly the scope of the political axe's functions, although he is a great philanthropist, he can't be too overstepping. He wasn't so truly selfless either.
To be honest, if he is allowed to invest money to build roads in these poor mountainous areas, a small number of areas are okay, and most of them, even the richest man in the world will feel sorry for money, because it is really too expensive to build roads, especially to build hardened roads. One kilometer in the plain area will cost at least two or three hundred thousand, and if one kilometer of hardened road is built in the mountains, the cost will be directly doubled. And there are too many such poor areas across the country, and Chen Feng can't fill this hole no matter how rich he is.
In the future foreseen by Chen Feng, the state will soon further promote the "village-to-village" project, which includes the explanation of rural road hardening. The country's policies in the coming years will be heavily invested in this area.
The first thing Chen Feng himself needs to do now is education, medical care, and investment in poverty alleviation, although road construction is also within the scope of his consideration for this charity trip, but it is not the most important.
The group got off the bus, dozens of people, and more than half of them were going to go with them. First of all, Chen Feng's bodyguards, as well as the film crew and engineering team, and the other is the assistant team on the studio's side, mainly accompanying the chores. The rest of the people didn't have to go up the hill with them. As soon as Zhao Xiaoyu heard that he was going to climb the mountain road for more than half an hour, he immediately stayed on the "legitimate excuse" of not bringing sneakers out.
Chen Feng didn't expose her either, although she didn't bring sneakers, but now she is wearing flat casual shoes instead of high heels.
And Haruko followed along, and she, a female ninja, was too easy for climbing mountains or something. She was in the mountains when she was a child and trained as a ninja.
Even though his team has been reduced a lot, there are nearly seventy or eighty people. Everyone walked along the mountain road, and the team was long, which could be called mighty.
At the beginning of the journey, the two county leaders could still talk and laugh with Chen Feng, but after only walking for about ten minutes, the two of them were panting, which made Chen Feng secretly despise it in his heart. Needless to say, the two of them are usually used to sitting in the office, and they don't go to the grassroots level very often.
Chen Feng didn't mean to stop and rest, so he only walked for about ten minutes on the mountain road and rested, and then the mountain road couldn't be walked. He planned to visit at least three villages within today's day, but he didn't want to be dragged down by these two.
The two of them were also a little hard, although they looked very tired, but seeing that the people on Chen Feng's side didn't mean to stop one by one, they could only blush, panting, and continued to hurry, but they didn't have the leisure to talk to Chen Feng anymore.
Half an hour later, turning a mountain bend, a small mountain village with the atmosphere of the last century appeared in front of everyone.
The mountain village is located on the slope, from the top to the bottom of the hill there are old houses, and at the bottom of the hill is a small mountain stream. The scenery is very good, but when you look at the old houses in this village, most of which are still stone houses, you can see that the villagers living in this village are not very wealthy.
However, according to the two local guides, this village is relatively good among the poor villages in their township, because it is relatively close to the township, and it is easier to find a job than other poor villages that are farther away. In addition, in other poor villages, most of the labor force has gone out to work. (To be continued.) )
