The ancients said: If you don't return home when you are rich and powerful, it's like walking in fine clothes at night.

From a human perspective, while gaining emotional value, one also bears shackles!
Li Zehua took all this lightly. He felt that he could not afford to leave his hometown and cause the whole village to have difficulty in getting drinking water in the future.

But I haven’t thought about how luxurious houses I will build in my hometown in the future, how many factories I will invest in, and how many jobs I will solve. I just let nature take its course.

Perhaps in the future we will build some food processing factories or supporting processing factories for other industrial chains, and Yida Commercial Plaza can also arrange them in advance.

It’s worth mentioning that in many cities in Hunan Province, salaries are not high, but consumption levels are comparable to those in first-tier cities.

In his past and present lives, he didn't understand why many people didn't work but had enough money to go out, take taxis, play mahjong in teahouses all day long, and have a midnight snack at night.

Where does this money come from?

Really~I just can’t figure it out!
As for the small mountain village where he grew up, not only does he not like it, but anyone who sees it will have to cover their noses and retreat ten miles.

There is a mountain behind my house, less than 50 meters away, which is a garbage dump for the entire city's residents for 30 years. The reservoir, which is more than ten meters deep, has been filled up bit by bit, turning it into a huge mountain.

About 20 meters to the right of the house, there is a high-voltage substation with dozens of iron towers rising into the sky. It is truly a Feng Shui treasure land.

His most vivid memory of his hometown was when he was three or four years old and had nothing to do, he would go to the back of the house to watch the fun.

Then I went home and was stripped naked and tied to a tree, and beaten for more than an hour...

It was as if, for people, there were always those few days every month.

There are always a few weekends when seven or eight jeep trucks or a dozen small cars go into the mountains via the roads specially built by the forest farm.

In the mid-1990s, there were only a few cars in the entire town, and the township government had only one sidecar tricycle, which was used by everyone who went out to do business.

Therefore, jeeps were a rarity at the time, and Jiefang brand trucks were even rarer treasures.

When they were young, they knew nothing. Whenever the convoy went into the mountains, their parents would lock them and their two brothers at home, making them nervous.

Then, with a few loud noises coming from the back mountain, everything gradually calmed down.

He was curious, what was this for?
Curiosity killed the cat. One day, while his parents were working in the fields, he sneaked out of the window, trotted all the way to the back hill and lay down to watch.
"Oh, it turns out to be the Judgment of Justice!"

Growing up I thought it was normal.

He didn't understand at the time. Maybe the scene was too horrifying and his brain automatically blocked it out. Now he doesn't have much memory of it.

Compared to the body that was still moving after the bang, he was more interested in the vehicles next to it. Once, when there was no one around, he even dared to sneak up on the convoy.

Unfortunately, before he could get on the bus and enjoy himself, he was grabbed off by the uncle in the hat. But no one did anything to him. He was just a little kid, so who would take him seriously?
He was fine, cursing, and on his way back he found a hemp rope on the ground. Hey~
Guess what, I don’t know if it was a brain short circuit or what, but I somehow picked it up and played with it.

I thought: It would be nice to take it home and use it to tie things up.

After all, children from poor families have to grow up early, and if they encounter something on the road, they have to consider whether they can use it.

And then, nothing happened~
When I got home, my dad was quite puzzled. Where did he go?
When I went out, I saw what this little bastard was playing with.
Where did the hemp rope come from?
Why do I vaguely see blood stains on the hemp rope?
After asking clearly, the usually gentle and elegant father was rarely furious. He dug out a rope from home and started to dangle.
That day, half of the village heard continuous screams~
The beating was so horrible that anyone who heard about it was heartbroken and anyone who saw it cried. He didn't get out of bed for three or five days afterwards. His mother was so distressed that she cried when she saw him.
You ask about the hemp rope?

It was burned on the spot.

In short, my memory of that small mountain village basically stays here.

When I was a little older, my parents went to the city to do some small business. They wholesaled clothing, shoes and socks, and also used a small tricycle to sell fruits and vegetables.

Unfortunately, his father is disabled and cannot do heavy work for long periods of time, and he is also worried about his mother going out to the wholesale market to purchase goods at three or four in the morning.

The environment back then was different from what it is now.

There are a lot of people asking you to borrow cigarettes or lighters on the road. If you are not satisfied with their requests, I will give you a full body swelling service, the kind that makes you float in the river.

There are a lot of people who take risks for a few hundred dollars. Anyone who has experienced the construction of third-tier cities and the emotional outbursts of hundreds of thousands of industrial workers will have some memories of this.

It's hard to say whether it was good or bad. For Li Zehua, there were brief good days in the middle. His father worked as a contract worker in the factory's communication room in 86.

Working in the message room, the monthly salary is 63.5 yuan, and the benefits are pretty good.

However, after he was born, his father's leg disability became more and more serious. Even with his cousin's relationship, he could not get a permanent job. In addition, he was too honest and was ostracized by others.

In the end, I had to find my own way out. After much deliberation, I decided to rely on my old capital. My family has a tradition of making tofu, so I decided to make tofu.

He got up early and went to bed late just for a few pieces of silver, dragging his almost completely disabled leg to make a living bit by bit.

Li Zehua had a very good relationship with his father, so good that when he was four or five years old, he could count from 1 to 1000 and do simple addition and subtraction.

I have to turn it over and over several times almost every week to clear the meridians on my father's back and relieve muscle necrosis in his legs, commonly known as scratching.

Anyway, he doesn't understand. That's what the doctor said. He has to do it back and forth thousands of times. How can he not be familiar with it?

Every time this happens, he always gets impatient and asks, "Are you done? How many more times do I have to catch it?"

However, if it is not scratched and cleared, a layer of black blood will accumulate on the leg. It will break when touched and start to flow out. A washbasin can hold half of it.

When I grew up, I used to feel resentful about it. People are bullied because they are too honest. Whose good person would be lying on the operating table in the hospital, and in the middle of the operation, there was a power outage and he had to be pushed back to wait?
By the time I got the call, I found out that my entire right leg was disabled. In the end, I didn't get a penny in compensation and was left with a lifelong disability, even though the incident had not happened to me and even though it had been more than 50 years.

Li Zehua still gritted his teeth when he thought about it. He sent people to investigate the cause of the accident, but more than 50 years had passed and the eyewitness would be years old even if he was still alive. He couldn't find anyone to vent his anger on.

……

"What are you thinking about?"

"No."

Standing on the hillside opposite his home, Li Zehua was filled with emotion. Once upon a time, this was the place he dreamed of returning to but did not dare to return to.

Even though his father's grave was there, he only dared to do it secretly, driving over to pay his respects in the dead of night.

He also didn't expect that starting a business would lead to so much debt!
Tens of millions, what number?
Even if it was during the peak period of his sales career, earning 60 to yuan a month, even if he didn't eat or drink for a whole year, it would only be yuan. Well, it would take more than years to pay it off.

In this life, it doesn't matter. More than 10 million is nothing. The loan amount of the company under his name is approaching 20 billion (including bonds issued by the company). He is not afraid of too much debt.

He even feels that it is not enough. He has many goals in his life, such as the goal of 10 trillion yuan in debt, which he is willing to try to challenge.

Don't be afraid of borrowing too much, just be afraid of not being able to borrow.

As long as the company's revenue scale is there, it is not afraid of large debt scale.

In his previous life, twenty or thirty trillion yuan was nothing to Xu Bei. If he wanted to play, he would play something bigger. The main thing was that whoever wanted it when he grew up could just take it.

Whether it is Chimei, Fengniao, Pinxixi, Qingyun Real Estate, property, or investment company.

Even Panda, Honor, Roewe, BYD, Power Technology Company, Dajiang, Googol Technology, Qingyun Travel Group, formerly AutoNavi Map, and Yunyunbang freight platform.

BYD, CATL, WeChat and TikTok platforms, open game platforms, supermarket chains, agricultural companies, and mining companies.

It doesn't matter, just take it. If we lose the advantages of integrating upstream and downstream of the industrial chain, whoever takes it will be unlucky. If you want to eat meat, you must be beaten first. Just look at the trillion yuan of debt.

Without the support of this system, if we compete individually, our advantages will certainly remain, but our operating costs will inevitably increase sharply. If we want to lay off employees, that’s fine.

There are hundreds of millions of people who depend on this system for their livelihood, and one of them can kill him with just a spit.

Li Zehua had no plans to do anything else. When the group grew in size and involved the interests of more and more people, he withdrew from the specific affairs and focused on the company's organizational structure.

Make it as complicated as possible, so that everyone who sees it will feel a headache and give up.

It doesn't matter if there is really a stubborn person who wants to take over. The main thing is to take over. There are countless mines laid. Anyone who dares to lay a hand will be blown to pieces.

Technical patents must be made safer in every possible way, core assets must be divested, and the industrial chain must be backed up and have alternatives available at all times.

It will be given to whoever wants it. The specific business will be spun off and debt will be injected. Other companies will take it and make money without doing anything, but his company will take it and first repay the 5000 billion loan and then the 5000 billion overseas US dollar debt.

Want to default on your debt?
It is clearly written in black and white. Unless you do not plan to have economic and trade relations with the country you are in, you will have to pay off your debts in this lifetime...

"Have you arranged everything for the wedding banquet?"

Under the scorching sun, he didn't feel hot at all. Someone held an umbrella, and someone nearby brought ice cubes to cool down. It was really difficult for the people below, and they had to consider everything carefully.

That's right, one is in charge of administrative logistics, and the other is in charge of public relations maintenance. Both of them do serving work and are particularly concerned about him as the big boss.

Wu Yibin didn't leave. He had to host the big boss's wedding banquet before leaving.

Now I followed him to my hometown eagerly, and I was completely confused.

He finally understood why his boss, who was always known for his humanity, never mentioned investing in his hometown.

Even Liu Qiangdong is in his hometown, setting up an after-sales service center with hundreds of people. He also poached people from the Qingyun Group’s agricultural service company headquarters and is busy contributing to his hometown.

Under such conditions, black water is coming out of the wells, and a quick inquiry reveals that quite a few people are suffering from acute illnesses.

The water in the roadside ditches was turbid and smelled terrible. Looking from afar at the opposite hilltop, there were tall walls and closed iron gates. Only occasionally would a fully loaded, tightly covered truck come in and out.

After following Li Zehua to pay respects, he heard him ask about the wedding banquet. He said calmly, "Everything has been arranged. From the vehicles to the wedding venue, we have confirmed it repeatedly. There won't be any problems."

In fact, there won’t be too many people coming, only about 200 to 300 relatives and some friends, so more than 40 tables will be enough.

Others had already given notice, so not many came. Only those company staff from the local office, branch, or provincial capital were arranged to arrive in advance to send a token of their regards.

This is a good thing, as it avoids extravagance and waste. Otherwise, given Li Zehua's current status, he would have just sent out invitations.

Putting aside other things, who would not give face to competitors who rely on the Qingyun system for their livelihood, or whose monthly cooperation amount is over one million?

Even if you don't have time, you have to send someone to celebrate and give a red envelope of 8,000 yuan, right?

Qingyun Group has over 100,000 employees, so it should send some representatives, right?
Even if a group or a branch company sends a few people, there will be dozens of people in each province. Together with the company headquarters, there will not be enough seats even if a hundred tables are set up.

"Who the hell told that?"

When Li Zehua thought about the phone calls he had received these days, he couldn't stop feeling angry. Is it easy for him?

I work from dawn to dusk every day to formulate development strategies for the company, contact various parties, and coordinate relationships to advance projects.

From time to time, I receive a phone call to congratulate someone, which not only disrupts my thoughts, but also requires me to socialize with a smile on my face.

After a few days, my face was twitching with laughter.

This is the result of being screened by the chairman's office and the administrative department. Otherwise, with hundreds of calls coming in every day, you would be exhausted just dealing with the interpersonal relationships if you don't do anything else.

This is the status and influence that money brings.

There are at least hundreds of thousands of people eating on this big ship of Qingyun Group. Which of those bosses is not a shrewd person?

How could you not seize the opportunity to get closer? As the saying goes, it is better to have a meal, drink and wash feet with your partner than to meet and negotiate a deal a hundred times. You will become familiar with him/her instantly.

There was even a food factory owner from Hunan Province named Liu Xiangtao who drove hundreds of miles to come here, despite the hardships of traveling so far. The couple was busy running around for the wedding banquet and couldn't be driven away.

When he got home, he found that they had been busy for three or four days. Even his mother was coaxed into being happy, saying that it was his friend who came to help. What could Li Zehua do?
For cold dishes, not only should you be polite and smile to others, but you should also instruct Pinxixi and Chimei Customer Service Department to conduct a thorough inspection of the factory and provide more care if the requirements are met.

It doesn't matter who the order is given to. As long as the brand is well-known, hygienic and healthy, and the food raw materials are not too bad, at least they will place an order of several hundred million or tens of millions to show their appreciation.

As human beings, when it comes to making money, no one should laugh at anyone else.

Although the Qingyun Group has only been developed for a short time, it has created a new track from scratch and does not even have a decent competitor.

New track and new demands mean that whoever establishes a relationship first will be able to get the meat.

Liu Xiangtao opened a food processing factory in Xingcheng and also has a branch locally. It has several hundred employees and annual revenue of tens of millions, which is not considered very large.

But he just ran to the house to help voluntarily, without saying a word from beginning to end, without making any requests, and working hard without complaint.

Besides, he was a native of this village and had some special connections, so he first went to ask someone in the village who had some influence.

After a while, he finally found a distant relative who was not even remotely related to him.

Through this relationship, and the fact that it has cooperated with Chimei and Pinxixi before, it is not considered an impersonation of a business partner, and it has gained a little trust.

These days, having connections is useful. For a wedding banquet, you need to order hotels, ceremonial supplies, contact fleets, and so on.

They don't ask for help easily and can provide perfect solutions whenever you need them.

With an annual income of several million, you can be considered a big shot in this small fourth- or fifth-tier city (with a registered population of over 800 million), and it will be no problem to find a car or a person.

If Guo Xinyi hadn't come to preside over it in advance, the latter could even have borrowed the first five cars of the prefectural yamen. What a ruthless person!

People are all made of flesh and blood. Even though he knew the other party's actual intention, Li Zehua did not reject the kindness. He only gave a few instructions to the captain about the three shifts he had arranged.

From now on, we should directly warn people of unknown origin. There is no need to resort to such tricks. We should just do business honestly.

Although most of his information can be hidden on the Internet, there are many local people who are interested in it.

I've been back for less than a day, but I already know everything I need to know from top to bottom.

After investing hundreds of billions in Star City, you should at least invest a few billion in your hometown, right?
Thinking of this, his head ached. "The wedding banquet is one, and the investment is another. Don't let me find out who is spreading the rumors!"

He instructed Wu Yibin, "Investment matters must be handled with caution. You should negotiate with the local officials on my behalf, in my personal name.

Donate 500, no, 10 million to the local education, civil affairs, social welfare institutions, retired workers in need, the Disabled Persons’ Federation and the Women’s Federation. "

It is better to spend money to buy peace, even if you donate 10 million a year, than to invest rashly and be strangled in the future.

Wu Yibin saw the situation very clearly. Hearing this, he said nothing and just nodded in agreement.

Only Yu Li, who was accompanying him, was not happy. She pouted and asked, "Why donate so much?"

Ten million, not counting options and benefits, would take her more than ten years to earn.

“Some money has to be spent.”

Li Zehua smiled and said, "People are afraid of being famous just like pigs are afraid of being fat. You don't want me to be criticized when I go home in the future, do you?

Besides, the investment company's negotiation team will also come here after the National Day holiday. Let's choose a good location and open a large supermarket first."

My eldest brother runs a resale trading company in Pengcheng, and is involved in the Dongguan OEM business with my eldest cousin.

My second brother is at home and he got shares in a supermarket chain, which will give him a career in the future, which is good.

“Make it clear to the investment promotion department here that supermarkets are not allowed to have any weird things, and my second brother’s share will never be donated.

No one can achieve anything through him.

No matter what he personally promised, Qingyun Group will never admit it. Those who are not afraid of death will just drag him into the water. Even if the sky is broken, I can make up for it for him.

As for those who participated, they should be shot or sentenced. If anyone wants to die, I will bury his entire family!
As for my personal share of the supermarket, no matter how much dividends are distributed each year, I will donate it directly to the welfare department under the local government. I don’t care what it is used for, I just want a quiet life.”

Wu Yibin nodded, and then asked: "Then should we also reject the villa area we provided?"

It refers to the villa specially designated by the government, which is surrounded by dignitaries and is considered the most luxurious and scenic location in the area.

"Keep it. No matter how much you sell to others, you should pay for it."

Be tough when you need to be tough, and be polite when you need to be polite, and give others face.

Although I didn't plan to let anyone live in it, I had to do a good job on the surface and buy it at the original price, which was considered as a tacit acceptance of the unspoken rules...

When I got back to the car, my worries were gone and there was only Zhang Tao in front of me.

Someone no longer had any scruples, and whispered to me, "We've met and received the red envelope. From today on, you are mine~"

Yu Li's face was flushed and she felt dizzy. How could she not understand what he meant? The two of them had only failed to break through the last level, and they had spent a lot of time playing.

But there was only thunder but no rain. He always felt something was missing. It was not until Yu Li came to his hometown that he realized that what he lacked was the recognition of his family. (End of this chapter)
