Chapter 51 "The World's Beautiful Diamonds" Naju Island
(In the future, when it comes to the names of cities in the mainland, abbreviations, aliases or former names will be used, I hope you can understand!) )
In the afternoon, accompanied by the secretary of Moyang County and the county magistrate, Zhang Shaoping set foot on Luozhou Island.
Luoju, also known as Luozhou, is named because many years ago, its topography resembles a horizontal conch shell.
Zhangjia Village, not all surnamed Zhang, just because the first resident who moved here was the ancestor of the Zhang family, and the people behind called this place Zhangjia Village. There are less than 400 people in Zhangjia Village, and the children of the Zhang family account for two-fifths of them.
The joint arrival of the secretary of the county party committee and the county magistrate had already alarmed the village committee of Zhangjia Village, and the village secretary and the old village chief hurried over and took them to the old village chief's home. At this time, the village committee did not have an office location, and most of them shouted with a loudspeaker, or called all the people to stand in a row on the Dadi Hall, and announced it loudly.
When he arrived at the old village chief's house, Zhang Shaoping explained his intention, and the old village chief was surprised: "You said that your father went out of our village?" What's his name? ”
Zhang Shaoping said: "My father was famous and the country was complete. ”
"Guoquan? Zhang Guoquan ......" The old village chief read a few times, "It's been more than ten years since the famine, I can't remember, I'll look at the Zhang family tree first, and see if there is your father's name at the end." ”
Zhang's father fled to Hong Kong at the beginning of the 10-year crisis, when many people fled the country and starved to death. It's not surprising that the old village chief can't remember.
The old village chief is not only the village chief of Zhangjia Village, but also the highest ranking patriarch of the Zhang family, and the Zhang family tree is in his hands. Flipping through the family tree with the edges worn and the paper yellowed, the old village chief looked through the pages line by line, and finally found Zhang's father's name in the third room.
He pointed to the name on the family tree and said, "There is indeed a name here called Guoquan, but it is not your father, I dare not say it." Did your father speak of your grandfather's name? ”
"Nope!" Zhang Shaoping shook his head, thought about it, and said: "I seem to have heard him say that our Zhang clan migrated more than 100 years ago, and what is the branch of the Zhang clan, so there is only a genealogy, no ancestral hall." ”
"Our Zhang clan only has a genealogy, not an ancestral hall. It seems that your father should be in the three-room department. The old village chief set the tone.
Zhang Shaoping breathed a sigh of relief and said, "In that case, can you add the names and surnames of my two brothers and sisters to this family tree?" ”
Originally, Huo Zhenting investigated through the power of the official, and it should not be wrong, but the matter of recognizing the ancestors and returning to the ancestors is too big, not afraid of 10,000, just in case, it is the safest to be confirmed by many parties.
The old village chief said happily: "This is how it should be. After that, he took a brush and added the names of Zhang Shaoping and Zhang Mengying to the bottom of the first series of the third room.
"Ah, by the way, my mother also has to make up, she is the authentic daughter-in-law of the Zhang family."
The old village chief had no choice but to ask Zhang Shaoping's mother's name, and then made up for Zhang's Wang Qingyun.
This trip to find the roots and ask the ancestors, so far, has been successfully completed.
Zhang Shaoping immediately stood up and said happily: "Zhang returned to his hometown this time, and being able to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors can be regarded as fulfilling his father's last wish, and his heart is infinitely happy." But when I came, I didn't have a meeting gift, and when I saw all the folks and elders, I could only have a whole banquet and talk about my heart, so please be sure to show your face. ”
This is true, Zhang Shaoping really forgot to prepare gifts.
Originally, a relative from Hong Kong came, and the villagers felt that there was light on their faces, and when they heard Zhang Shaoping's words, word of mouth passed down, and the whole village was suddenly sensational and boiling. This year, no more than a few years later, the restrictions were relaxed, and now there are still certain restrictions on going to restaurants, buying groceries, entering department stores, etc. If you want to have a whole banquet, it's not a simple matter, you may not be able to eat it if you have money, not to mention that there are really few rich people now.
However, with the names of the two bosses, the secretary of the county party committee and the county magistrate, things are much easier, and the ingredients for the whole banquet are openly served.
The villagers happily went to help set up the fire and prepare the dishes, Zhang Shaoping was happy for a while, calmed down, and said embarrassedly to everyone present: "Zhang was so overjoyed that he lost his temper, which made everyone laugh." ”
The county magistrate said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang was born and grew up overseas, far away from his hometown in the motherland. This is a natural situation, and it is not surprising. ”
Zhang Shaoping smiled and asked the old village chief again: "Old man, I don't know if there are still relatives alive in my house?" ”
The old village chief shook his head and said: "The Zhang family in Zhangjia Village originally had three brothers, and when the founding of the People's Republic of China, the second room was moved to Gaozhou County, and the third room was your house to Chunzhou County. Originally, there were contacts with each other, and every child of the Zhang family was born and would come to our big house to add a family tree. It's a pity that this connection was broken ten years ago, and I'm too old to go far, so I really don't know what they're doing now. ”
Zhang Shaoping frowned and asked, "So, my father's hometown is actually in Chunzhou County?" ”
The secretary and county magistrate of Moyang County were anxious when they heard this, and they finally looked forward to a rich Hong Kong overseas Chinese, and they were thinking about trapping him with hometown affection and asking him to invest some money to improve the local economy, but you gave me this!
Fortunately, the old village chief's next words made them breathe a sigh of relief, and the old village chief said: "It's not, your grandmother is the only daughter of the Situ family, and she has to take care of her father, so your grandfather stayed and didn't move away with the Sanfang team." ”
The old village chief babbled a lot of things about the Zhang family, and the old man was old and loved to chatter. Zhang Shaoping also found out from his mouth that his grandmother's father was a martial arts master and was quite famous in the Liangyang area. Zhang Shaoping has affirmed that his father's boxing and martial arts should have been taught by his grandmother.
Zhang Shaoping never thought that his father would be a native of Moyang County, the "kite capital", and he was also an authentic fisherman from Luozhou Island.
After the development of Luozhou Island in later generations, it was known as "Beidaihe in the South" and "Hawaii in the East", and was known as an uncarved jadeite, and even had the reputation of "the world's beautiful diamond". The island has many natural and cultural landscapes, beautiful scenery, historical precipitation, after being developed, it is an excellent seaside eco-tourism resort.
Walk to the top of the mountain, jump high and look into the distance, the scenery is beautiful, and the scenery is charming. Zhang Shaoping looked at the open sea and praised: "I can't imagine that my hometown is such a beautiful place, I am almost reluctant to leave here!" ”
When the secretary of the county party committee and the county magistrate who were following him heard this, they glanced at each other, and saw the county magistrate smile and said: "Since Mr. Zhang loves the mountains and rivers of his hometown so much, why not invest in this to benefit the villagers." ”
Zhang Shaoping first nodded, then shook his head. The two leaders of Moyangjiang were strange when they saw it, why did they nod and shake their heads, so did they agree or not?
Zhang Shaoping explained: "Naju Island is very suitable for development as a coastal eco-tourism resort, but the current traffic is not smooth, and even if it is developed, it is difficult to flourish. I really want to invest in this area, but I can't catch it alone, and I have to find someone to cooperate with infrastructure, communications, transportation, etc. Whether I can invest or not, I don't dare to pack a ticket now, and when I go back, let's see how many large companies can be involved in joint ventures. ”
The secretary said urgently: "In terms of transportation, Mr. Zhang doesn't have to worry. The construction of the Guangzhan Highway has already started, and it will run through the entire Liangyang area. This is by land, and by water, our port terminal on the Moyang River is preparing to be expanded, and after completion, the ferry can go directly to the Pearl River Delta region, which is very convenient. ”
"As I said, the development of Naju Island is too expensive, even if the water transportation you mentioned goes hand in hand, I will find someone to partner in the investment." Zhang Shaoping said patiently.
Hearing Zhang Shaoping say this, the two parents of Moyang County were disappointed, the big investment in the future is like a castle in the air, you can't see it or touch it, maybe Zhang Shaoping just said it casually. They want real investments that they can see now, even if it's small.
The county magistrate suddenly thought of something, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, if the investment is too big, we can cooperate in the future, but we also need a small investment in Moyang County." Do you think this is okay, we also have a lot of excellent investment projects in Moyang County, so you should take some time to investigate and see if there is anything you like? ”
"Okay! I also want to do something practical for the villagers, so I'll trouble you two to arrange it. ”
Having said this, Zhang Shaoping couldn't refuse, and made up his mind that he would invest 1 million or hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars at that time, and he would have the right to take care of the villagers.
On the third day after arriving in Moyang County, the county magistrate accompanied the whole process and inspected the investment environment of Moyang County with Zhang Shaoping.
In addition to the infinite beauty of the cultural and natural scenery of Luozhou Island, the dragon boat race of the Dragon Boat Festival in May and the kite festival of Chongyang in September are all unique traditions. As for the cultural relics and historic sites, there are a lot, such as Shijue Temple, Kongtong Rock, Beishan Stone Tower, etc., all of which are worth seeing.
After a while, Zhang Shaoping was also fascinated by it, and became more and more determined to develop Luozhou Island. Through the development of Naju Island, it is possible to bring prosperity to other places, and when the time comes, the Liangyang area will be built into a famous tourist attraction at home and abroad.
Zhang Shaoping was only interested in developing Naju Island and had no interest in other investments, but he was not insignificant. First of all, he donated 100 yuan to renovate classrooms and buy new desks and chairs for primary and secondary schools in Moyang County. Secondly, another 500,000 yuan was invested to establish a joint venture with a state-owned scissors factory to establish a knife company to integrate the local originally loose and disorderly knife workshop.
Zhang Shaoping didn't care much about the 500,000 yuan invested, and let a few local supervisors hire him to do it. And what Zhang Shaoping really cares about is the 1 million donated, he doesn't want the money to go into his private pocket and not spend it. So, for the next five or six days, he kept an eye on where the money went.
It wasn't until the twelfth day after coming to Moyang County that Zhang Shaoping received a call from Chen Guanzhong, telling him to rush back to Suicheng, saying that many things had been negotiated and waiting for him to sign the contract. Zhang Shaoping had to leave, but before leaving, he paid homage to the ancestral tomb of the Zhang family.
