【Chapter 693】 Qingming Anecdote (Ask for Subscription!)

For the people of Ginkgo Village, the Qingming Festival is a grand festival second only to the Spring Festival, and even the Mid-Autumn Festival is slightly inferior.

On this day, no matter where they are, if conditions permit, the people of the Xiao clan will rush back to Ginkgo Village to worship their ancestors!

In the past, the road connecting Ginkgo Village to the outside world was quite inconvenient, and it was quite troublesome for people to go back to the village, so some people who worked in other places did not necessarily come back every year.

Now, the opening of the 'Yaoyin Expressway' has made the return journey of many ethnic groups smooth, and the economic prosperity of the village has made many ethnic people who work abroad have great enthusiasm for returning home.

In the past, for people working in other places, every time they returned to their hometown, it meant that they had to help their families, and those who were shy in their pockets really didn't dare to go home. Because going back home is equivalent to several months of salary disappearing, and everyone is afraid!

Now that my hometown is doing well, not only do I have to pay for it when I come back, but I can even get some help from my parents and brothers, so that my life in the city is not so stressful.

In this way, during the Qingming Festival in the past two years, the clansmen who worked in other places returned to Ginkgo Village with their families, which made the whole village much more lively.

…………

For the Xiao family, there is no financial pressure to go back to their hometown to sweep the grave, at most they need to adjust their work schedule in advance.

No, two days before the Qingming Festival, Xiao Jasmine in Ludao, Xiao Yuegui in Spring City, and Xiao Dujuan in Nanzhao all returned to Ginkgo Village as a family of three, and there were three more children in the family, which was not much different from kindergarten.

Looking at their children and grandchildren around their knees, the happiest people are the old people, which can be seen from their smiling and squinting expressions.

There are more children, and Xiao Feng's trouble will come, because these little guys are entangled with him, either for him to take around to play, or for Xiao Feng to make food for them.

All of a sudden, Xiao Feng, the richest man, became the king of children, and took his family's eight children to have fun in the village, which amazed some tourists!

Modern society is an era of information explosion, and the news that Xiao Feng is acting as the 'child king' at home quickly spread on the Internet, making everyone laugh!

For fans and netizens, it is difficult to define Xiao Feng by ordinary standards, which makes Xiao Feng a very special being!

said that Xiao Feng is a star in the entertainment industry, but he rarely participates in film and television dramas, does not appear in too many variety shows, rarely shoots advertisements, and even has very few opportunities to take the initiative to appear in front of the media.

Saying that he is super-rich, his daily life is not like the impression that super-rich people have to associate with private jets, luxury yachts and various drinking parties, but not much different from an ordinary family cook.

Whether you are a fan of Xiao Feng or not, you have to admit that Xiao Feng has a very special charm, and it is difficult for people to hate him.

People may hate an arrogant and domineering drag racing rich second generation, but it is difficult to be disgusted by a super-rich man who is full of love and willing to cook for his children.

In the minds of many people, Xiao Feng is unique!

…………

The Qingming Festival is still as usual, Xiao Duliang and Xiao Dushan led the clansmen to worship their ancestors, praying for good weather and prosperity in the coming year!

For the Xiao clan, the annual routine worship can well enhance the cohesion and centripetal force between the clansmen, which is also the key factor for the Xiao family to stand firm in northwest Yunnan.

Xiao Feng likes the scene of the whole clan worshipping together, even if he goes to the United States to start a new business in the future, even if he can't come back for the Spring Festival every year, Qingming must bring the children back to let them know where their roots are?

Anyway, I own a private jet, so it's so easy to come back!

Compared with previous years, this year's Xiao family's ancestor worship and tomb sweeping activities have attracted much media attention, although the cemetery is not open to the media, but there are many long guns and short cannons guarding the periphery of the cemetery.

Although the movement of the special period classified 'feng shui' as a feudal superstition and cracked down, this tradition, which has been passed down in China for thousands of years, can never be completely eliminated.

In recent years, with the relaxation of national policies and the fact that the traditional customs retained in Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and Southeast Asia have become more and more well-known, both the media and the public's attitude towards tomb sweeping has undergone some changes.

Now, even the state has included the Qingming Festival in the list of statutory holidays, and the media has become more radical in reporting on some issues.

In the eyes of many media, Xiao Feng can become the richest man in the mainland, and it is estimated that his ancestors have accumulated virtue, and the ancestral tomb has good feng shui, otherwise there are so many people in the country, why would this name fall on Xiao Feng's head.

Therefore, some media went to Ginkgo Village to shoot interviews during the Qingming Festival, but there were not too many surprises.

Some so-called 'feng shui masters' even commented on how good the feng shui of the Xiao family cemetery is on their website columns, so that the masses who don't know the truth still think that the rise of the 'Jinghu Group' is a decisive factor played by feng shui, rather than the result of the Xiao family's hard work.

When Xiao Feng saw these remarks, he was also a little speechless!

However, these remarks and media reports will not affect Xiao Feng's life, let alone cause any adverse factors to the preparation and construction of the 'Dream Ranch'.

…………

After the merger and clean-up of the 'Dream Ranch', the total area exceeded 150,000 acres, which is converted to 600 square kilometers!

If you calculate it in a standard rectangle, the 'Dream Ranch' is a huge area 30 kilometers long and 20 kilometers wide, which is even larger than the area of the 10 smallest countries in the world combined!

Managing such a large ranch requires a lot of manpower, not to mention that Xiao Feng plans to raise more than 300,000 beef cattle in the ranch, and the demand for human resources is not small!

The labor cost in the United States is very high, Xiao Feng has already inquired, and the salary of an ordinary cowboy is 3,000 US dollars per month, about 20,000 RMB. Moreover, the trade union power here in Lao Mei is too strong, and the so-called 'overtime' is not very feasible, so Xiao Feng naturally feels that the cost performance is not high.

Besides, 'Dream Ranch' can't hire all the ghosts, right?

Therefore, when Xiao Feng had just started the investment plan, he had already begun to select employees in the village to work in the United States.

With an annual salary of 200,000 yuan per year, plus various welfare subsidies, the income must be much higher than that of the family, but the corresponding requirements for employees are higher.

After the initial selection notice was posted, it immediately caused a huge sensation among the employees of the 'Jinghu Group', especially the employees of the 'Jinghu Ranch', and everyone was a little nervous.

You must know that ordinary employees can double their income when they work in the 'Dream Ranch' in the United States, and maybe they will have the opportunity to obtain a U.S. green card in the future, which is quite good no matter what.

However, when the selection criteria were released, many employees who did not meet the standards were saddened, and those who were qualified to enter the final selection were very excited.

This time, the number of basic employees working at Dream Ranch is 100, and it is best to go there as a single employee or as a couple, after all, it is always inhumane to separate couples across the Pacific Ocean.

In addition to these hardware, including marriage and age, the employees must be the front-line employees of 'Mirror Lake Ranch', which means that they must be good cowboys of the ranch, which is essential for the operation of 'Dream Ranch' in the future.

Of course, every selected employee must pass the English conversation, after all, there must be a considerable proportion of American employees there, and there is no shortage of daily communication.

After fierce competition, 100 grassroots employees and several middle and senior managers carefully selected from the more than 10,000 employees of 'Jinghu Group' will become the backbone of the employee system of 'Dream Ranch' together with Ma Wanli and others!

Xiao Feng has promised that in the future, 100 outstanding employees from Ginkgo Village will be selected to work in the United States every other quarter, so that they can participate in the global expansion of the 'Jinghu Group'.

This policy makes all employees happy, after all, it is better to earn dollars in the United States than to nest in Ginkgo Village, according to the current development of 'Jinghu Group', maybe everyone will have better development space in the future!

After the selection of 100 employees and managers, Ma Wanli, Xing Wenjun and others also put down their work and took turns to give lectures to these employees every day, first, to train their English conversation skills, and secondly, to let them understand some laws and regulations and related taboos in the United States.

After all, the 'Mirror Lake Group' in the United States is for the purpose of making a fortune, and it must not cause some unnecessary trouble because of the negligence of some of its employees.

…………

When the Jinghu Group's staff group went to the United States for collective training, the news of the Jinghu Group's investment in a super-large ranch in the United States was finally reported by the mainstream media in China.

Unlike other wealthy people who buy ranches overseas for leisure and vacation, the 'Mirror Lake Group' this time purchased super ranches with a total area of more than 600 square kilometers, completely aiming for the top beef market in the United States.

To describe it in a commentator's article in Huaxia Daily, this is an important step for Huaxia agricultural enterprises to step into the country and realize the internationalization strategy!

In recent years, companies including real estate, machinery, textiles, chemicals and other companies have invested overseas, and these industry leaders are gradually enhancing the voice of Huaxia Capital in the global economy.

However, this is the first time that a large agricultural enterprise in China has taken the initiative to participate in international competition, which has attracted wide attention to the 'Jinghu Group'.

The media in China have been authorized by the higher authorities, and they have exaggerated the fact that the investment of the 'Jinghu Group' in the United States is a corporate behavior of private capital, and has diluted the political color as much as possible.

No one would have thought that the 'Dream Ranch' was nothing more than an appetizer for Xiao Feng, and as time went on, the industrial empire of the 'Jinghu Group' expanded rapidly, and finally developed into a jaw-dropping storage zài!R1152
