Chapter 393: Go Home
Since the establishment of a national centralized planting center in Xinzhen, a commercial city, has been approved by the main management of the whole company, Lai Xiaohu can start planning this matter.
First of all, there are well-prepared personnel, and it is still relatively difficult for Lai Xiaohu to complete this matter alone. Because there are many things involved, in addition to negotiating with the government of Xin Town to lease land and planting, there is also a very important thing to complete, that is, to prepare for the construction of an air transportation system belonging to Lejia Supermarket.
In the past, Roca supermarkets used to build a planting center on the outskirts of the city with branches, so that only a few trucks were needed to complete the transportation work. However, now that the cultivation center is located in the commercial city, it is necessary to establish a sound and large-scale air transportation system. In addition to the airport, it is necessary to negotiate with the airlines responsible for the transport, and to set up a transport fleet in each city where there is a Roca supermarket for the final stage of transport.
Generally speaking, there are more things involved, let Lai Xiaohu be responsible alone, I don't know how busy it will be, and in fact, the time left for Lai Xiaohu is limited, and he can't provide vegetables when a large number of new stores are ready to open.
As soon as he left, Lai Xiaohu handed over the power of the company for the next period of time to Song Yaqiao that day, and then took Zhang Ying, He Li and several staff responsible for business negotiations and finance to fly back to the business city. The reason why Zhang Ying was brought was mainly due to the fact that Zhang Ying and he were both locals, and it was undoubtedly much better for the locals to be in charge of this kind of business negotiation, after all, there is a tradition of bullying everywhere.
Moreover, Lai Xiaohu's plan is to be responsible for the planting base, and the establishment of an air transportation system will be handed over to Zhang Ying to be specifically responsible, and the two will work together to complete this work as quickly as possible.
After getting off the plane. Lai Xiaohu found a hotel near the airport, and then asked He Li and other staff to stay in it temporarily, and then he took Zhang Ying home.
This time, Lai Xiaohu didn't notify his family in advance, so when the two of them came back, they found that there was no one at home. Not only Dong Cuiyun was not at home, but even Zhang Xiuying was not at home. Then no one answered the phone, and Lai Xiaohu thought that the two of them must have forgotten the phone at home.
After inquiring with the neighbors on the side, Lai Xiaohu was told that Dong Cuiyun and Zhang Xiuying had both gone to work in the fields. Although Lai Xiaohu is rich now, Dong Cuiyun and Zhang Xiuying did not follow Lai Xiaohu to leave their hometown, but continued to live like they had in the future. The only benefit that Lai Xiaohu and Zhang Ying brought after they became rich was that Dong Cuiyun and Zhang Xiuying did not need to do odd jobs in addition to farming to subsidize their families as before. However, the two did not leave behind the family's fields. This is not just after the wheat harvest this year. The two people hurriedly planted peanuts, and recently it rained too much, not only the flowers grew rapidly, but even the weeds in the field also grew.
Lai Xiaohu, who knew where the two were going, walked to the village with Zhang Ying. When they arrived at the head of the village, there was a dirt road on the left, and after walking along this road for more than ten minutes, the two saw the shadows of Dong Cuiyun and Zhang Xiuying.
Obviously, the two mothers were also very strange to see Lai Xiaohu and Zhang Ying who suddenly appeared. "Why did you two get back?"
"We're back for a little thing." Lai Xiaohu said.
originally saw Lai Xiaohu and Zhang Ying come back. Dong Cuiyun and Zhang Xiuying were planning to go back, but Lai Xiaohu saw that the grass in the field had been pulled out and there was not much left, so he directly took Zhang Ying and began to help the two of them work.
With the addition of Lai Xiaohu and Zhang Ying, Dong Cuiyun and the others sped up a lot, and it didn't take long for the last weed to be pulled out, and the four of them walked back together.
I went home and washed up briefly. Dong Cuiyun hurriedly killed a watermelon and beckoned Lai Xiaohu and Zhang Ying to relieve the heat. After that, the four of them sat together and talked for a while, and Lai Xiaohu explained his return.
"Mom, that's right, I'm coming back this time to see if I can rent the land in our village and a few villages on the side. I'm going to get a vegetable growing base here. "I'm done wiping my mouth. Lai Xiaohu said to Dong Cuiyun.
"That's right." Hearing this, Dong Cuiyun and Zhang Xiuying both said: "This is a good thing." And I remember that during the Chinese New Year, there was a leader in the town who came to you, and he just wanted you to invest at home. You are now rich, and investing in your hometown to drive the people of your hometown to get rich together is what you should do. ”
Hearing this, Lai Xiaohu thought in his heart: "This is really a lot of energy, how much responsibility." When to bring my hometown to become rich, it has become my responsibility. However, Lai Xiaohu couldn't stop nodding at Dong Cuiyun's words when he arrived.
After that, Lai Xiaohu told the two old people in detail about his plan to build a planting base here that can supply vegetables to all Lejia supermarket branches in the country, "This planting base must not only be able to grow vegetables, but also be able to transport them out." Otherwise, the vegetables grown at that time will not be transported, and all of them will rot here, and there will be a big loss. ”
"So this time I and Zhang Ying came back to have a division of labor, I only need to be in charge of this planting base, and Zhang Ying is responsible for liaising with the airport and airlines, and then we will establish a nationwide air transportation system to be responsible for the supply of vegetables to Lejia supermarkets across the country."
In the past, Lai Xiaohu was called Zhang Ying at home, and he was always called Sister Ying, which he called since he was a child. But now Lai Xiaohu has begun to call Zhang Ying's name in front of the two old men. And this is exactly the result of the request of the two old men. According to the two of them, Zhang Ying is indeed older than Lai Xiaohu, and Lai Xiaohu was also brought up by Zhang Ying, so there is no problem with Lai Xiaohu calling Sister Zhang Yingying before, but if she doesn't call it, it is a problem. But since these two people have become boyfriend and girlfriend, Lai Xiaohu can no longer call Zhang Ying like that.
In the countryside, the idea of the man in the family being the master is still far-reaching, so in the eyes of Dong Cuiyun and Zhang Xiuying, when Lai Xiaohu and Zhang Ying get married in the future, it must also be Lai Xiaohu's decision. And Zhang Ying, as the hostess, will never be able to climb on Lai Xiaohu's head. Therefrom. The two old men slowly began to ask Lai Xiaohu not to call Zhang Ying Sister Ying anymore.
Regarding the thoughts of the two old men, Zhang Ying remained completely silent. It's as if it had nothing to do with him. And Lai Xiaohu felt a little awkward, after all, he had been called for so many years, and it was really a little uncomfortable to suddenly not be called. However, under the high pressure of the two old men, Lai Xiaohu also slowly changed. At home, he did what the two old men requested, and he could call whatever he wanted outside, and the two old men couldn't hear it anyway.
And after Lai Xiaohu finished talking about his return, Zhang Ying also said a few words, but the two old men replied to them: "You can do whatever you want, we don't understand anyway." ”
After dinner. Lai Xiaohu asked Zhang Ying to accompany the two old men at home, while he took some of the Jincheng specialties he brought back.
He was going to visit a person at night, and this person was the village party secretary of Lai Xiaohu's village. Their village party secretary is also surnamed Lai, not only Lai Xiaohu's own family, but also a little kinship with Lai Xiaohu's family.
However, in the past, Lai Xiaohu would never take the initiative to visit this relative unless it was necessary. Because Lai Xiaohu didn't know what to call the other party after they met.
It's not because of the identity of the other party's party secretary, but because of the problem of seniority. In rural areas, seniority is more important. Basically, a surname in the village can pull out the kinship. This strengthens relationships. But sometimes it can be embarrassing.
For example, between Lai Xiaohu and the village party secretary surnamed Lai. According to age, the other party is very old, and he is almost fifty years old now, several years older than Lai Xiaohu's mother. It is said that at this age, it is not an exaggeration for Lai Xiaohu to call his uncle that is, uncle. But in fact, according to the seniority, the other party may have to call Lai Xiaohu uncle.
No way. Whoever let the other party in the village is too low. They have lived here for hundreds of years, and almost every generation of the older and youngest can be at least a few years apart, and this gap can be continued in each generation. Over the centuries, the direct result of this was that some people were very young, but they were of high seniority in the village. Just like Lai Xiaohu. And some people are very old, but their seniority in the village is very low, just like the village party secretary that Lai Xiaohu is looking for. Of course, the level of this generation is only relative, Lai Xiaohu belongs to the senior level relative to the village party secretary, but it is not enough to see the seniority compared to some people.
This huge gap in seniority has brought a lot of problems to Lai Xiaohu. Just like when facing the village party secretary, Lai Xiaohu generally doesn't know what to call it appropriately. Call the other party's position, it seems too raw, and no one in the village calls it that. Just call the name.,Although the other party is very young, but it's not young.,Calling someone's name obviously doesn't sound respectful enough.。 It's even worse to be called by an elder, you can't mess with seniority in the village, you call it out and let others do it, this can affect the whole body.
In the past, the intersection between the two sides was not too much. Lai Xiaohu's family is at the very edge of the village, and there are not many opportunities for everyone to meet each other. And in the past, Lai Xiaohu was small, and the adults in the family usually came forward to do anything, and he was not needed. But distance is no longer a problem.
Since the news that Lai Xiaohu had become a rich man spread in the village and even in the town, the number and frequency of the other party coming to Lai Xiaohu's house have increased significantly.
In the past, although everyone was in their own family, and there was still a little bit of kinship. But who knows which generation this relationship is, and the surname in the village is generally an ancestor, so no one usually talks about this kinship. In addition, Lai Xiaohu's family used to have a very ordinary family background, so under normal circumstances, the other party would not come to them when they were idle.
This is also a very normal thing, although the village party secretary is not a cadre in the establishment, but after all, he is also in charge of a village, isn't it, plus his own family affairs, he is usually very busy. And Lai Xiaohu's family is usually very ordinary, it is normal to be ignored.
However, this ordinary family is not ordinary after Lai Xiaohu made his fortune. At least now, who in the dozens of miles nearby doesn't know Lai Xiaohu's name. In this case, the number of times the village party secretary came to Lai Xiaohu's house immediately increased.
The previous Lai Xiaohu could be ignored, but the current Lai Xiaohu must be won over by the village party secretary. This is the difference between rich people and ordinary people, which is very realistic.
This time it was the first time Lai Xiaohu took the initiative to go to the other party, and it was the other party who found Lai Xiaohu's house before. And this time, Lai Xiaohu is to discuss things, so he naturally has to be more proactive. There are only a few villages in Xin Town. The leased land will definitely not be able to bypass Lai Xiaohu's own village, and Lai Xiaohu himself has privately decided to put the center and office area of the future planting base here. It is the best place for the planting base, and the driving effect on the economy is also obvious. It can be seen that Lai Xiaohu's idea of using * power * for personal gain is still very serious, but given that the entire company is Lai Xiaohu's, no one will stand up to correct Lai Xiaohu's mistakes.
After walking for more than ten minutes, Lai Xiaohu arrived at the door of the village party secretary, and a large iron gate had been closed from the inside. Standing at the door, Lai Xiaohu slapped a few times, "Is there anyone?" ”
"It's coming, it's coming." After more than ten seconds, a brightly dressed young woman ran over and opened the door. This person is recognized by Lai Xiaohu. is the daughter-in-law of the village party secretary. The other party is three or four years older than Lai Xiaohu, and has been married here for five or six years, and he is already the mother of two children. Rural people generally get married early if they don't go to college, so this is not unusual. However, although the other party already has two children, he still looks very beautiful. And the figure is also very good. Needless to say, the daughter-in-law of the village party secretary must be a well-known beauty nearby, and the other party doesn't have to work for a good life after marrying. The natural bleaching of the maintenance is beautiful.
The other party obviously knew Lai Xiaohu. opened the door and saw Lai Xiaohu standing at the door, and hurriedly said, "It's Xiaohu, why did you come back?" Hurry on in. After that, the other party took Lai Xiaohu and walked into the house.
In the living room, several people are eating around a table. Several people in it, Lai Xiaohu, also knew each other, one was the village party secretary and his wife, and the other was the son of the village party secretary. There are also two little ones, the two children of the young woman just now.
Before she could enter the house, the daughter-in-law of the village party secretary shouted inside: "Dad, it's Xiaohu here." ”
Hearing this, the village party secretary who was eating turned his head to look outside. Seeing that it was really Lai Xiaohu coming, he immediately put down the dishes and chopsticks and greeted him. "Oh, Xiaohu, don't say hello in advance when you come back, so I can go and see you." stepped forward to the village party secretary and said to Lai Xiaohu enthusiastically. It is not convenient for Lai Xiaohu to call him, but it is a little easier for the other party to call Lai Xiaohu at that time. After all, he is many years older than Lai Xiaohu, so it is completely appropriate to call Xiaohu directly, and this title does not reflect the confusion of generations.
"I just came back this afternoon, and I was in a bit of a hurry to come back and didn't notify my family in advance." After handing over the gift to the other party, Lai Xiaohu followed him to the house.
"Have you eaten? Want to eat again? After entering, the village party secretary asked Lai Xiaohu politely.
"No, no. I just ate it. Lai Xiaohu hurriedly waved his hand, and then said. If you're polite, just be polite.
Lai Xiaohu had never taken the initiative to visit before, but this time not only came, but also came with gifts, needless to say that Lai Xiaohu must have something to do. The village party secretary, who probably guessed Lai Xiaohu's thoughts, was talking to Lai Xiaohu while signaling several other people on the table to leave quickly.
Obviously, several other people who have lived under one roof all the year round have a better understanding of the habits of the village party secretary, and after seeing the look of the village party secretary, the rest of the people finished eating the things in the bowl in three or two, and then began to clean up the table.
After a few minutes, several people, including the village chief's daughter-in-law, all went to the back room, while Lai Xiaohu and the village party secretary were left in the living room watching TV and talking.
After the gossip was almost over, Lai Xiaohu explained his intention, "That's right, I came back this time to build a vegetable planting center at home, probably using the land in our village, and the area is not too small." So I'm here tonight to discuss this. ”
In fact, it is okay for Lai Xiaohu not to discuss this matter with the village party secretary. After all, the village has no right to decide on the lease of land, and it is still up to the town to make a decision when the time comes. As long as you discuss it with the town, you can just come down and inform it when the time comes. It's just that considering that everyone is in the same village, if you look up and don't look down, if that's the case, it will inevitably seem a little disrespectful to the other party, so out of human feelings, Lai Xiaohu came to inform in advance. It is said that it is a discussion, but in fact, the opinion of the other party is not important.
"Really? That's a good thing. The village has been farming for so many years and has not made any money, and now that you have money, if you are willing to come back and invest, the village will definitely thank you. After Lai Xiaohu finished speaking, the village party secretary directly patted the table and said. For the village, farming is not profitable, and it would be better if the land could be used for other purposes. And if people from the village like Lai Xiaohu are willing to invest here, of course it will be even better. After all, it's our own people, and we trust each other a little more. And after Lai Xiaohu invests, the village will definitely follow the benefits. Under normal circumstances, unless there is any grudge between two people, the village party secretary will definitely not object to this matter.
"Well, if the village supports it, then this matter will be easy to handle." Lai Xiaohu said with a smile. The reaction of the village party secretary was completely expected by Lai Xiaohu. (To be continued......)
