Chapter 11: First Taste of Fame and Fortune

The next day, Zhang Degui went to the town early in the morning with great interest and reported Tan Wenlin's heroic rescue to the town mayor He Ping and the deputy mayor Xie Dan.

On the same day, at the behest of He Ping, the town's propaganda officer came to Xinhe Village to interview Tan Wenlin, and reported the interview video on TV through the county TV station on the same day.

Originally, such a thing had been broadcast on the county TV station, but at this time, a disgraceful thing happened in the neighboring county, an old man in the town at the bottom of the neighboring county was starved to death because of his children's unfilial piety.

As a result, Jiangnan City, from the mayor Long Wenxuan to the county magistrate of the neighboring county and the deputy in charge of people's livelihood, were all unlucky, and were disgraced by the superiors, and the deputy in charge of people's livelihood almost lost his position.

Tan Wenlin's heroic deeds of saving people happened not long after this happened, and it was also a coincidence that the report on saving people was broadcast on the county TV station just in time for the mayor of Jiangnan City, Long Wenxuan, to inspect the people's livelihood in Hongjiang County.

He immediately instructed the propaganda officers who came with him to dig deep into Tan Wenlin's deeds and personally came to Nantou Town to prepare to meet Tan Wenlin.

So a group of people from the city and county went straight to Nantou Town, and under the guidance of He Ping, the mayor of Nantou Town, and the secretary of the town party committee, they came to Xinhe Village.

Suddenly, Xinhe Village was boiling, not to mention that the mayor and even the county magistrate had not come to the village for so many years, everyone in the village gathered at the door of Tan's house, and watched with envy as the mayor and county magistrate and other senior officials walked into Tan's house.

Tan family, Tan Changqiang, Zhang Guifang and his wife have never seen such a big posture, and the two of them don't even know how to put their hands and feet when they stand there.

However, Tan Wenlin had seen the world in his previous life after all, and he was calm and calm in the face of Mayor Long Wenxuan and county magistrate Li Hongsu, and he talked eloquently, without any childishness.

Tan Wenlin's calm performance made Xie Dan and the others who came with him in the town secretly surprised, this nineteen-year-old young man was a little not simple.

This is the first time Xie Dan has met Tan Wenlin.

Long Wenxuan spoke first, praised Tan Wenlin for his heroic rescue, and then took out a bonus of 500 yuan and handed it to Tan Wenlin.

After the meeting, Long Wenxuan inspected the village committee again, asked about the situation in the village, and looked at Li Xiuxiu's rescued children.

Long Wenxuan also took out a few hundred yuan to express condolences to Li Xiuxiu.

On the way back, the City Daily reporter in the same car reported to him the news he had obtained from interviewing the villagers, and when it was mentioned that Tan Wenlin had made some money by contracting the reeds and giving the village 50,000 yuan, Long Wenxuan was obviously a little excited.

"It's a pity that such a young man doesn't follow the official path." This is the first time Long Wenxuan has dealt with Tan Wenlin, and he said the truth.

At this time, he did not expect that in the future, because of this young man, he would prosper in his official career and become famous.

The day after everyone left, Tan Wenlin's heroic deeds of saving people were published in the city daily, and the provincial daily newspaper also published the news on the third day.

For a time, Tan Wenlin became a celebrity in Hongjiang County, and from time to time someone asked him to give a speech, Tan Wenlin was also tired of it, the so-called one more friend and one more road, and of course he would not let go of the matter of fame and fortune.

Through this incident, Tan Wenlin can be said to have earned enough capital, which has invisibly cleared many artificial obstacles for his future great cause of making money.

Time passed slowly, Tan Wenlin's heroic deeds of saving people gradually faded away, and he also devoted himself to crab seedling breeding.

As Tan Wenlin expected, when his crab seedlings were raised, the entire Hongjiang County and several neighboring counties set off a craze for raising crabs, and for a while, Tan Wenlin's crab seedling farm was full of people who came to buy goods every day.

Tan Wenlin spent nearly 100,000 yuan on the cost of the crab seedling farm, of which he also entrusted people to borrow tens of thousands, and later expanded the breeding area and dug several ponds near the reeds.

Now there are about ten tons of crab seedlings in his farm, according to the current market situation that a seedling is hard to find, a pound of crab seedlings can earn fifty yuan, and he can earn about one million by selling all the crab seedlings, which is still a conservative estimate, because the number of people who want to buy goods is increasing every day, and the price is also rising.

Tan Wenlin's family was too busy to face the daily rush of customers, and he posted a recruitment notice in the village again, this time raising the price to 71 days.

Suddenly, all the laborers in the entire Xinhe Village ran to the Tan family, desperately asking the Tan family to hire themselves, seventy yuan a day, which was definitely a high salary in 1996.

Tan Changqiang and Zhang Guifang of the Tan family faced this situation, and they couldn't stop smiling happily every day, Tan Changqiang walked around the crab seedling farm happily every day with crutches, although his legs and feet were inconvenient, he still helped Tan Wenlin watch the field.

In fact, the farm does not need to be taken care of by him at all, Tan Wenlin hired Li Xiuxiu and her brother Li Zhongyuan to take care of it, and Li Xiuxiu's family has been destitute since the grocery store was burned.

Fortunately, Tan Wenlin hired them at this time, and the wages were much higher than others, which made Li Xiuxiu and the other three grateful to Tan Wenlin, and they worked very hard.

It turned out that after Tan Wenlin's farm became prosperous, he considered the problem of manpower supervision, and after thinking about it, he felt that Li Xiuxiu and Hong Erniu were not bad, so he invited them.

That day, when Tan Wenlin arrived at her house, Li Xiuxiu and Hong Erniu were sitting at home with sad faces and sighing, and his younger brother Li Zhongyuan did not tease his dog but was in a daze on the side.

When they saw Tan Wenlin coming, they hurriedly poured tea to give up their seats, Tan Wenlin is a great benefactor of their family, if he hadn't discovered the fire in time and saved his little sister, then now Li Xiuxiu and the three of them have the heart to die.

When Tan Wenlin explained the purpose of his visit, he said that he would give them 80 yuan a day and let them help in the crab seedling farm. Li Xiuxiu almost didn't cry, this is just sending charcoal in the snow, if Tan Wenlin doesn't come to invite them, they all plan to drag their families out to work!

Hong Erniu said in disbelief on the side: "Wenlin, didn't you really coax us?" ”

Tan Wenlin smiled: "Of course it's true. ”

The husband and wife cried and laughed, and thanked Tan Wenlin vigorously.

Before Tan Wenlin left, he saw Li Zhongyuan looking at him with blank eyes, which meant that he also wanted to work in the farm, Tan Wenlin thought about it, this big man with a tendon to take care of the farm really no one dared to steal, so he let him go by the way.

For this, Li Xiuxiu and his wife are even more grateful.

Although there were Hong Erniu and three people to take care of him, Tan Changqiang couldn't stay idle, and he was uncomfortable when he didn't get to the farm for a day.

In addition to visiting the farm, Zhang Guifang also began to visit the house enthusiastically, and she walked around the village early in the morning with needles and threads and soles, enjoying the flattery and compliments of her family.
