On the first day of the Lunar New Year last year, Concubine Liu Yafei came to Lai Xiaohu to play here for a day, but she didn't see the shadow of Concubine Liu Yafei all day this year, but in the morning, she made a call to Lai Xiaohu, and then asked Lai Xiaohu on the phone for the New Year, and then asked several other people respectively, as for whether she came here, she didn't say.

Concubine Liu Yafei didn't come, but a few friends Lai Xiaohu knew came to look for him, but after they came, they were all sent out by Dong Cuiyun. Dong Cuiyun knew that Lai Xiaohu and the others hadn't slept all night last night, so he deliberately stopped the people who came to him for him, so that the four of them could have a good night's sleep.

In the next few days, as in previous years, Zhang Ying went back on the night of her first year of junior high school, and she had been away from home for a year, and she finally came back once, Zhang Xiuying had to cultivate a good relationship with her daughter, didn't she. And from the next day, Zhang Ying is going to go with Zhang Xiuying to visit relatives, although Zhang Xiuying has a bad relationship with several relatives and her parents, but she has not completely broken off contact, so she has to go when she should go. Originally, Zhang Xiuying also wanted Lai Xiaohu to go, after all, now that Lai Xiaohu and Zhang Ying know about it, it is time to let the relatives at home see it, but Lai Xiaohu didn't agree considering Song Yaqiao and Ivanka's feelings, and after finding a reason to fool the past, Zhang Xiuying was not reluctant,

As for Lai Xiaohu, they basically stayed at home, and Lai Xiaohu didn't have any relatives here, except for taking the rest of Song Yaqiao and Ivanka to play outside, they were handed over by a few of their buddies who had a good relationship to have fun.

To be honest in the countryside, there is actually nothing fun, the only place in the countryside that is better than the city is the beautiful natural environment, but unfortunately this advantage is nothing in the eyes of rural people. And young people who don't have much place to go during the Chinese New Year often call a few people together to play mahjong at this time, and by the way, they are gambling *some* money. The countryside does not have to be in the city, where there is a lack of entertainment facilities, and playing mahjong is the only amateur fun for many people.

Until the sixth day of the new year, Liu Yafei didn't know what was going on and didn't come to Lai Xiaohu, during which Lai Xiaohu also made two phone calls, but in addition to the first one was answered by Liu Yafei, the second one turned out to be a man, I don't know what was going on on the phone, the man was very angry with Lai Xiaohu, and said that he wouldn't let Lai Xiaohu call his wife again.

was scolded on the phone, and Lai Xiaohu also cried out in vain. He would never scold back on the phone, and Lai Xiaohu didn't expect that the person who answered the phone turned out to be Liu Yafei's husband. Lai Xiaohu didn't remember that there were other men around Concubine Liu, and Concubine Liu had been avoiding telling Lai Xiaohu about that aspect before, so Lai Xiaohu was a little blind at first. But after thinking about the baby, Lai Xiaohu also reacted.

I don't know what's going on over there, though. But it is obvious that at this time, Lai Xiaohu also realized that he was an outsider, so he was not allowed to interfere. Lai Xiaohu also stopped calling Concubine Liu Ya.

And in the days of the Chinese New Year. Another thing happened that on the fifth day of the new year, a person who claimed to be the mayor of Xinzhen Town * Mansion came to find Lai Xiaohu.

The other party is a young man in his early thirties, who looks very capable, has a small head, and his body is beginning to show strength, and after the other party introduces himself. Lai Xiaohu knew that he was not only the mayor of the town here, but also a person from this town, but he was not from the same village as Lai Xiaohu, and Lai Xiaohu was not at home much all year round. So the two sides don't know each other very well.

After the other party came in and greeted for a while, he directly expressed his intention, that is, he hoped that Lai Xiaohu could return to his hometown to invest. It turned out that as Lai Xiaohu's business became bigger and bigger in the past two years, and he didn't deliberately hide it, so unconsciously, Lai Xiaohu became rich and became a rich man, and the news spread in the town.

For most people, Lai Xiaohu has made a fortune, at most it makes them envious, jealous and hateful, but in the eyes of some people in the town government, isn't this an opportunity that can be used.

In this era, although the state began to consciously guide the local government not to focus on GDP, this is only somewhat useful for those economically developed places, and it is not so binding for those backward places.

Backward localities are naturally unwilling to remain backward, and there is only one way to change the status quo, and vigorously develop the economy. is like a person who is still struggling below the food and clothing line, if you tell him to eat a reasonable diet and eat more vegetables, isn't that playing the piano to the cow, people can't even eat, then there is still room for pickiness.

Naturally, in terms of rural areas that are not considered developed in provinces like Xinzhen, what sustainable development and what green economy are a bit empty.

In the backward countryside here, you can't even recruit a single investment, and to be able to develop is to burn high incense, and you are still picky about anything. Xinzhen is a relatively barren place, and there are not many things that can be developed. Agriculture, agricultural output has been higher and higher year by year, so that the price of agricultural products naturally cannot go up, although due to the support of national policies, food prices have not fallen sharply, but if you want to make a fortune by this, don't think about it, for many people to be able not to lose money, it is good, otherwise most of the young laborers in Xinzhen will not go out to work every year. As for the development of industry, then don't think about it, in addition to a few small processing workshops run by self-employed people under Xinzhen, in fact, there are really no formal factories. And most of these small processing workshops are also privately run by the village itself, and don't expect them to pay any taxes.

In fact, the best direction for the development of Xinzhen is tourism, because Xinzhen is at the foot of Guci Mountain. Although Guci Mountain is only the remnant of Zhongyue Songshan, so the fame may not be as well-known throughout the country as Songshan, but in fact, the fame of Guci Mountain is not small.

Located in the Central Plains, it is the birthplace of Chinese civilization, and as the ancestor of Chinese civilization, Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor was born here and then established a cantonment cave on Guci Mountain, and has grown in turn. Mt. Guci is also known locally as the Ancestral Mountain, and it can be said that the fame of this mountain is not small at all, not only is it well known to the locals, but also the fame of Mt. Guci has become more and more famous over the years with the ancestor worship ceremony held every year.

Therefore, it is quite convenient to use Guci Mountain to develop tourism, although it may not be necessary to make a fortune from it, but at least a Guci Mountain can still bring a lot of income to Xinzhen.

But alas, the wishes are good. The reality is cruel, it is precisely because of the special fame of Guci Mountain, so Guci Mountain is actually not under the management of Xin Town, and there is naturally nothing to do with the Xin Town Government below, so a good channel that can bring a lot of income is gone.

In the past, there were not many rich people in Xinzhen, and there was no one who could be called wealthy. And the current Lai Xiaohu can be regarded as one, because it is rumored that Lai Xiaohu is worth more than 100 million, which means that Lai Xiaohu is a billionaire.

Lai Xiaohu's home is not far from the town government's * mansion, how can the billionaire under his nose be run away by him. So as a local mayor, he took on the job of being a lobbyist at Lai Xiaohu's house during the Chinese New Year.

The other party came to Lai Xiaohu naturally hoping that Lai Xiaohu could take out some money to make some investments in the town, whether it was to build a factory or what to do, as long as it was not a factory with too serious pollution, it would basically not be a problem, and the town would also give different generous benefits according to Lai Xiaohu's contribution.

"This?" Hear the other person's request. On the contrary, Lai Xiaohu was a little embarrassed, and it was said that he was rich. It is the right thing to do to contribute to your hometown. After all, isn't he short of that money, and who doesn't want his hometown to be good. But what factories can Lai Xiaohu invest in here? He doesn't have any business contacts here, so naturally it is impossible to open a supermarket here, and this is a rural area, and no one buys it even if you open it, and no one in the countryside grows some vegetables at home.

In addition to opening a supermarket, Lai Xiaohu is also reluctant to get involved in other industries that he is involved in. Not to mention that he is distracted, and it is not an industry that he is sure of, Lai Xiaohu does not dare to guarantee that he will not lose money, anyway, he never thinks that his management ability is strong. It is not his own ability to make a fortune. Although it is a good thing to support the modernization of his hometown, if it is conditional on his own loss of money, Lai Xiaohu is not a stupid person.

Lai Xiaohu expressed his gratitude for the other party's kindness, but in the end, he did not agree to invest in the project because he did not have a good project for the time being. Of course, he didn't refuse, he just said that he could think about it, and if there were good projects in the future, he would definitely give priority to his hometown.

failed to directly get Lai Xiaohu to agree to invest, the other party was naturally a little disappointed, but after all, this kind of thing of investment cannot be forced, Lai Xiaohu really has no project and cannot force the other party to be not, for them, as long as Lai Xiaohu does not refuse, it means that there is still a chance, and the investment promotion has never been successful once.

Although the other party left in the end, Lai Xiaohu did appreciate this matter, he hadn't thought about it before, but now that it has been mentioned, Lai Xiaohu feels that he really has to make a little contribution to the development of his hometown, and it depends on whether he can find a good investment project in the future.

This is all in the future, leaving it at that.

After the sixth day of the new year, the atmosphere of the New Year began to slowly decrease, and many shops also chose to reopen on this day, accompanied by a lot of firecrackers, Lai Xiaohu and Zhang Ying also left their hometown. However, they did not go back to Jincheng directly, but went directly to the moat.

Naturally, the New Year can't just reunite Lai Xiaohu with his family, forget about Ivanka, anyway, people are just New Year's, but Song Yaqiao can't even see his family once during the New Year. So after leaving the house this time, Song Yaqiao strongly asked to go to the city moat.

Considering that the New Year had just ended, it didn't hurt to open a few days late, so Lai Xiaohu agreed to Song Yaqiao's request, and several people immediately refunded the plane tickets to Jincheng and changed them to go to the city.

It is actually about the same distance from Shangdu to Jincheng and from Shangdu to Hucheng, several people have dinner at home in the morning, leave home at ten o'clock, and then arrive at the airport at eleven o'clock. A few people ate a little snack from home in the departure hall, and after feeling not too hungry, they saved their lunch lunch.

At about 12 o'clock in the afternoon, the plane took off from the commercial city on time, and an hour and 20 minutes later, the plane landed on time at the airport in the moat.

When I went to the business city, it was Lai Xiaohu who led the team, and several women followed Lai Xiaohu. However, when they went to Shanghai, it became Song Yaqiao to lead the team, and Lai Xiaohu and the three of them followed. Considering that there were more people who followed Song Yaqiao this time, Zhuo Liya personally drove to the airport to greet her.

The five of them drove back to the Song family's villa in the suburbs, and in addition to Song Yadan, even Song Xin was there. Seeing Song Xin, Lai Xiaohu was slightly surprised.

"It's not all your fault." Seeing Lai Xiaohu's slightly surprised expression, Song Xin smiled a little proudly. Originally, I thought that people like Song Xin only had one place to take with them at this time. That's inside the prison. But who is Song Xin, it doesn't matter if he usually takes it inside, not to mention reuniting with his family during the New Year, even if he takes it inside for the New Year, it is also unlucky, so after the New Year is approaching, Song Xin asked Zhuo Liya to open up the joints, and then temporarily returned to the house for the New Year in the name of going out for medical treatment.

Class inequality is indeed dialectical, if it is an ordinary person, it is strange that he can come out, and it is like a powerful person like Song Xin who can drill a loophole.

Of course. Song Xin's success is mostly due to Lai Xiaohu's credit. Song Xin was indeed very powerful at the beginning, but now that he has fallen apart, even if he still has a little power, he actually doesn't have much power. But I can't help it, and Lai Xiaohu can endure it. Who is the one who is in charge of the city now, it is Li Gan, and the relationship with Lai Xiaohu is very good.

Although this time Lai Xiaohu did not intercede with Li Gan. And Li Gan himself didn't give any instructions to the people below, but last year, Lai Xiaohu gave Song Xin a lot of convenience through Li Gan's relationship many times. The people below are always much smarter than the people above think. There are some things you know to do once. The people below will be able to figure out a lot of things.

So although Lai Xiaohu didn't make a move, and Li Gan didn't have a problem, but when Zhuo Liya really went to take care of Li Gan, no one dared to really stumble, so it was very easy for Li Gan to get all the documents.

As long as he can come out, Li Gan didn't do too much. So after coming back, Li Gan has been staying at home, except for this villa area, he has never been anywhere, and in order not to let people gossip. He also had a decent doctor, and every few days he called a doctor to his home to see him.

The matter between Song Yaqiao and Lai Xiaohu has long been no secret, and Zhuo Liya, Song Xin and others are also very supportive of Song Yaqiao being able to get together with Lai Xiaohu, but when Lai Xiaohu also brought two women, the atmosphere suddenly became a little delicate.

Fortunately, Zhang Ying reacted in time, and when she saw Song Xin's strange expression, she quickly explained, "Hello uncle, I am Zhang Ying, and Yaqiao are colleagues, and this friend Ivanka is my friend abroad." Anyway, Song Xin didn't know if Zhang Ying had ever gone abroad, so he easily deceived Song Xin.

And Ivanka also stepped forward to say hello to Song Xin, and the matter was considered to be in the past, and a group of people happily talked about homely things in the living room.

This time I didn't stay long in Shanghai. stayed at Song Yaqiao's house one day, and after going out for a walk one day, several people went back to Jincheng. Before leaving, Lai Xiaohu also talked to Song Xin about opening a branch in Shanghai.

To open a branch, now Lai Xiaohu must open a branch as soon as possible. The expansion plan was basically suspended in the second half of last year, and now he has a lot of cash in his hand and has nowhere to go, and the energy spar has also been temporarily relieved, so Lai Xiaohu decided that he must carry out a round of expansion in the first half of this year.

Among them, in addition to opening a few branches in the capital, the city protection is Lai Xiaohu's next stop. It is the economic center of the country, and the spending power is also amazing. The occupation of this place by colleagues is as significant as the occupation of the capital.

The location of the Shanghai branch has basically been determined by Lai Xiaohu and Song Yaqiao, and the rest is to hope that Song Xin or Zhuo Liya can do some auxiliary work for them when Lai Xiaohu is no longer there, such as the decoration of the new store, the recruitment of clerks and the planting base.

The short, apprehensive but warm New Year is finally over, and they will be greeted by the beginning of work and the unforeseen of the new year.

"Ha, I'm finally back." threw the bag on the sofa, and the three girls scrambled to lie on the sofa and were reluctant to get up. Although she didn't do any physical work during the New Year, after all, she was still very tired after running around several places, and the natural third girl stopped moving after lying down.

Lai Xiaohu, who returned to Jincheng on the ninth day of the first month, simply cleaned up the house, and then Lai Xiaohu called the main leadership of the company and the store managers of each store at night.

In a hotel, Lai Xiaohu held the first team building of the management before the opening of the new year, and at the same time Lai Xiaohu made important instructions, hoping that everyone can come up with more clean and strive to create more brilliant performance in the new year.

Most of the people only started work from the tenth day of the new year, but Yang Fengze and his transport team had to start operating that night, and it was going to open tomorrow, so they had to be prepared to transport all kinds of things needed for the opening in advance tonight.

After the team building came back in the evening, the three girls had to go to bed early, but Lai Xiaohu was very unwilling, from the beginning of his home to the present, whether at home or in Shanghai, Lai Xiaohu had to always maintain the appearance of a gentleman, and stayed with the three beauties all day long but could only be honest, which was really uncomfortable.

Finally came back tonight, and Lai Xiaohu finally didn't have to endure it anymore. (To be continued......)
