Farming and Bend the National Husband
Chapter 109
The evening news of Yucheng TV station that night broadcast the news of the establishment of an agricultural cooperative in Xiajiazhuang.
This is a new type of agricultural management model, and the leaders of the municipal TV station attach great importance to it. It took 10 minutes to make a key report. The scene of Zhu Honggao, the deputy mayor, giving a sonorous speech on the stage, and the content shared by farmers and cooperative social media, Almost nothing was cut, it was all let out.
Of course, it is also necessary for the reporter to interview the farmers. Looking at the farmers facing the camera with restrained and expectant smiles, every audience can understand from the bottom of their hearts that this cooperative will bring Xiajiazhuang Village. The change.
Finally, the reporter added his own comment: Zhangtang Town, where Xiajiazhuang is located, has always been the most economically backward town in Yucheng City. Bring rapid development to this economically underdeveloped area.
"This Zhu Honggao is really lucky! This kind of good thing can happen to him." Since Mayor Xu put down his face and made friends with Zhu Honggao at the banquet last time, he never dared to underestimate him. contacts.So, overtly and secretly, I tried my best to support his work, but the contempt for him in my heart did not change at all.
Who told people to have a good life?This is his true state of mind right now.
"What are you complaining about? A good life is also a kind of ability. If you have the ability, how many companies can you introduce? Maybe after a year or two, you will be eligible to be transferred to the city." His wife is straightforward and taunted road.
"To put it lightly, if I had married Xiaoqing back then, I would still have this hope." Mayor Xu rolled his eyes at his wife and hummed.
Xiaoqing was his college classmate, they were in the same class, and they even confessed their love to him when they were sophomores.But he felt that her temperament was too strong and not suitable for him, so he rejected her and walked with his current wife.
Only after she got married did she find out that Xiaoqing was born in one of the richest families in Yongcheng. Her parents were the bosses of an electrical appliance company with assets of more than one billion yuan.And now this wife was born in an ordinary family, and her parents are ordinary employees of state-owned enterprises.
Such an ending made him depressed for a long time, and what made him even more depressed was that the little woman who was obedient to him before marriage was not a fuel-efficient lamp after marriage. The gentleness in it.
If I had known that women's tempers were like this, why not marry Xiaoqing?He regretted it so many times.
"Go and marry if you have the ability! See if his husband doesn't slap you to death, making you unable to turn over forever." His wife knew that her husband only dared to say that, so she just hit him on the head with chopsticks and scolded him. road.
That's right, Xiaoqing's current husband is the deputy secretary of the Yaocheng City Committee, and there are elders in the family who are senior officials in Yongcheng City.Unlike himself, he was purely a descendant of farmers. If he wanted to slap himself to death, it would be like swat a fly.

At the same time, Secretary Ding and his wife of the Yucheng Committee were also sitting at the dinner table watching the evening news of Yucheng.
"The officials and lords in Zhangtang Town have finally found the right path this time. It seems that they can make a comeback this year." Secretary Ding put down his job, looked at the news with great interest, and sighed.
"Let's eat your meal." Mrs. Ding gave him a blank look, put a piece of octopus into his bowl, and urged. "The food is getting cold."
"Eat first, leave me alone." Secretary Ding said with a smile. "It's been a year since I came to Yucheng, and the problem of slow economic development in Zhangtang Town has been unable to find a solution. I didn't expect them to be desperate for change, but they have found a new path, which is not easy."
"It's not as mysterious as what you said." Mrs. Ding said disapprovingly: "Agricultural cooperatives have already existed in other places. What a new way."
"You didn't pay attention." Secretary Ding was rarely interested in discussing this matter with his wife today: "Agricultural cooperatives are naturally not new. When I say new, I mean their order-based cooperation method, which not only ensures farmers It also guarantees the profit of the cooperative.”
"Really?" Mrs. Ding is the vice principal of Yucheng Middle School, so she must have some knowledge.
"Many places now have cooperatives, but most of them are formalistic, and few of them can really survive for a long time. After all, they just can't achieve a win-win situation." Secretary Ding habitually extended his index finger and pointed forward. "If a cooperative relies on government investment, or the help of entrepreneurs and philanthropists, it will definitely not last long."
"That's right, many cooperatives are now political achievement projects." Mrs. Ding also understood what her husband meant.
A term of officials took office, in order to achieve results, they set up cooperatives to benefit the common people.But cooperatives rely solely on appropriations from above, or rely on the personal relationship of officials, and let entrepreneurs do it.
Such a result may benefit the common people in a short period of time, but once the officials are transferred away, the entrepreneurs are naturally unwilling to spend this unjustified money to fill that bottomless pit, and the cooperative will naturally exist in name only.
"That's why I said they are not simple." Secretary Ding laughed. "I hope that the path they have embarked on will inspire other villages and let everyone get rich together."

With this news, the second uncle caught the eyes of all strata in the city, but the life of Xia Jiusheng's family did not change because of it.
He is now focusing on two issues, one of which is naturally the base for cultivating fine varieties.
After the farmer signs the contract with the cooperative, he will buy a large number of seedlings from him, and he has to prepare in advance.
When the cooperative confirms the order, talk to him.He naturally knows the order quantity of each type of melon, fruit and vegetable, and he only needs to prepare seedlings according to this quantity.
This time the seedlings may be supplied to the whole village, and even several nearby villages will come to buy them, so the quantity is not comparable to before. Wen Yue initially planned more than 20 mu of land as a breeding base for seedlings.
For the convenience of transportation, it is naturally impossible for farmers to pull out plants one by one like before. Wen Yue bought a large number of seedling trays like other fine seed bases, and sprinkled the seeds directly on the seedling trays covered with nutrient soil, and waited until they grew to A certain size, let the farmers buy the seedling trays and take them away directly.
In this way, a large number of seedlings are raised, and the efficiency is indeed improved.
Xia Jiusheng and Wen Yue accompanied the lab to see the agricultural technician introduced by Nie Hongjun. After sorting out all the experimental data, he handed it over to himself. He felt that the technology was mature, and then handed it over to the recruited staff to operate.
Another thing, of course, is to build a farmhouse restaurant.
The farmhouse restaurant is built by the reservoir, not far from the courtyard house, and it takes less than 2 minutes to walk there.
The house of the restaurant is mainly made of wood with blue bricks, which looks antique.Different from other places, except for the kitchen, the dining area is all semi-open-air, filled with various flowers and trees, and each dining table is surrounded by green trees, as if dining in nature.
As for the chefs, Zhao Zezhong selected a few senior local chefs from the National University who were older and liked living in the countryside.As for the handyman, it's simple. These masters, who don't have a few apprentices and grandchildren.
Because the goal is a private restaurant, the material requirements are relatively high.The materials bought from outside are basically unusable. Xia Jiusheng decided to provide all of them by himself in Da'ao. Now the breeding has not kept up with it, and the main fish are the main ones.
Xia Jiusheng went back to his hometown, caught more than half of the fish and eels from the pond and drainage ditch, and raised them in the reservoir and drainage ditch here.
As for the vegetables, Xia Jiusheng built several greenhouses next to the restaurant, where he grew all kinds of vegetables, and usually watered them with space water, so that the quality of the dishes was different from ordinary ones, and it also improved the level of private restaurants.
As for the issue of planting, the area here is much smaller than the backyard of my hometown, so I can leave it to Father Xia and Mother Xia to plant it.
After arriving in Da'ao, Xia's father, Xia's mother, did not have the pressure of providing for NUS every day, and was often bored in the house.Xia Jiusheng thought it would be nice to have a piece of land for him to play with.
Of course, Xia Jiusheng would also weed when he had nothing to do.
※※※
On the day when the restaurant was officially completed, Xia Jiusheng took out some of the ingredients he could provide now, and asked the master chef to make a few tables of dishes. He entertained the management and staff of Da'ao, as a thank you for their hard work recently.
As for the old man and his family who lived in the courtyard, they would naturally not miss it.
After living in the courtyard for a few days, the two old men have fully adapted to the place.
In addition to growing flowers, growing vegetables, and weeding every day, I just play chess, or chat and play with An An and other children, and I seem to be living younger and younger.
Older, the body's internal organs are exhausted, and it is necessary to take reasonable supplements to maintain the balance of the body. The food provided by Xia Jiusheng's family, even ordinary vegetables, have a certain amount of aura. For the elderly, they are more effective than ordinary tonics , Their bodies are naturally better than before.
Today was to celebrate the opening of the farmhouse restaurant. Xia Jiusheng caught dozens of catties of fish alone and killed ten chickens, so everyone ate with open stomachs.
To Xia Jiusheng's surprise, the last two old men unknowingly ate too much.
The health care doctor was a little depressed. The old man was in good health recently, and they were used to it, so they neglected to pay attention to their food intake this time. Unexpectedly, they still encountered trouble.
"Xiao Xia, what should we do?" Xia Jiusheng is the owner of this place, so we need to hear his opinion on this matter. "Should we send the old man to Hangzhou or Shanghai?"
They didn't think about it in Yucheng.They are also worried about the limited level of medical care in small places.
"Don't worry, Doctor Zheng, the old man just eats too much and has indigestion. I'll just give them a massage." Of the two, old man Zhao is not a serious problem, while old man Li is more serious. Xia Jiusheng smiled and said to the health doctor who comforted old man Li.
"Can massage only work?" Dr. Zheng was a little worried.
After coming here, he soon discovered that the old man had blind trust in Xiao Xia's medical skills, and everything was based on Xiao Xia's opinion.
If something happens, Xiao Xia will definitely be in big trouble, but he is Mr. Li's full-time health care doctor, so he must also bear the responsibility.At this time, although I hoped that Xiaoxia would create a miracle, I still couldn't help but panic.
"Don't worry, Dr. Zheng." Mr. Li said to his health care doctor as he leaned weakly on the chair because of stomach discomfort. "Xiao Xia will definitely do it."
I'm getting old, I really shouldn't be greedy, now I'm suffering, right?The old man also felt a little regretful at this time.
But Xiaoxia's food is really delicious, if you want to hold back, it's a test of your endurance.
Several people helped Mr. Li and Mr. Zhao into the health care room. This was specially built by Xia Jiusheng for the two old people. In addition to the wooden barrel for bathing, the massage bed for massage, and the hydrotherapy bed and other equipment, when the old people are tired , you can come here to rest.
The usual massage is given to two health doctors. They are experts in this field and know how to massage to relieve fatigue.
As for Xia Jiusheng, his main function was to replenish their spiritual energy.
The room is well heated.Mr. Li was stripped of his coat and was supported on his back on the bed. Xia Jiusheng rolled up his sleeves and pressed his hands on his abdomen. His true energy flowed into his hands and gently rubbed his stomach. After a while, he went up again Down, push slowly.
The elderly have poor gastrointestinal function, slow peristalsis, and are prone to food accumulation.Under the stimulation of Xia Jiusheng's true energy, Mr. Li's body regained its vitality and accelerated the digestion process.
In less than 5 minutes, Mr. Li felt his bloated abdomen make a sound of ventilating, and his stomach seemed to be relieved all of a sudden. He breathed out comfortably, opened his eyes and shouted: "Xiao Xia, my stomach is ventilating."
"Okay, Grandpa Li." Xia Jiusheng helped Grandpa Li up.Handed it over to the nanny and said, "Help the old man to the toilet for convenience. I'll prepare a medicinal bath for him. After a while, the old man will regain his spirit."
"Xiao Xia, thank you." The old man said gratefully as he was supported and walked to the bathroom.
He has soaked the medicated bath prepared by Xiaoxiate several times, and after each bath, his body will feel better for a few days.
I don't know how many precious medicinal materials Xiaoxia used to achieve such an effect.
So he was grateful and admired Xia Jiusheng.
If Zhao Zezhong hadn't taken the lead, he really hoped that his grandson would be favored by him.
Xia Jiusheng walked into the bathroom, unpacked the medicine package that was ready to be placed in the space, poured it into a wooden bucket, and poured the space water into a large iron bucket specially designed for hot water, and turned on the boiling switch.
When the temperature is up, pour water into the wooden barrel, test the water temperature, and see that the old man has come out.
Give the inside to the health care doctor to take care of and take a bath. They are used to taking care of the old man, and they are more careful than him.
After the old man cleaned up, he soaked in the water easily, closed his eyes and leaned against the chair to rest.The smell of Chinese medicine in his nose made him feel peaceful and comfortable.But they didn't know that these were all ordinary health-care traditional Chinese medicines, Xia Jiusheng just bought them as a cover-up, and what really worked was the aura of space water.
When the water temperature cooled down, the old man stood up and wiped off the water, feeling refreshed.
Alas, if you go home, you will never enjoy this wonderful feeling again.Mr. Li thought with emotion, after getting used to it here, he might not be able to do without Xiao Xia.

The following works are basically completed, and the orchard on the mountain has begun to break ground.
A large amount of labor was dispatched, and the above bushes were almost dug up, and fruit saplings were planted. As for the weeds, they were not moved.
After the fruit trees are planted, they will not bear fruit for the first few years, so they are most suitable for raising chickens, ducks and geese. These grasses are also one of their foods.
Raising goats is easy. As long as there is grass, they can live well. The main reason is that raising pigs is a little more troublesome. They like to roll in the mud, and if they do not do well, they will arch or break the fruit trees, so they need to be marked separately. place for them.
I found a place with a little barren land and blocked half of the mountain as a pig activity area.
In this way of open-air stocking, the meat quality of the animals will definitely be better, but unfortunately, the breeding time will be longer.
Fortunately, they are all eaten at home or served in restaurants, and they can afford to wait a little longer.
There are quite a few chickens raised in the space, Xia Jiusheng took the time to release dozens of chickens and supply them to the restaurant temporarily.Someone asked, and he said it was a local chicken bought from another farmer's house.
As for the dogs in space, it's time to let them see the light of day.
He released one every few days, and then continued to release it after everyone got used to it.
Although these dog breeds are different, they have one thing in common. They are all intelligent and kind to people, and they quickly become one with the residents of the courtyard house.
With such a large area in Da'ao, it is very useful to keep some dogs, at least it can prevent some wild beasts from ruining the crops.

This afternoon, Da'ao ushered in a group of unexpected guests.
Zhao Zezhong's group of buddies in Yucheng, summoned by Bai Qishun, took their wives or girlfriends, drove a row of luxury cars, and rushed to Da'ao in the style of sightseeing.
"Xiao Xia, you are too stingy, the restaurants here are open, and you didn't notify us." Bai Shunqi and his group walked into the private restaurant of Nongjiale, looked back and forth, and then sat down carelessly, and shouted.
"Brother Qi, how can I be stingy? Everything here has just started, it's a mess, and there's not much food to eat, so I didn't notify you." Xia Jiusheng called Qu.
He originally planned to wait for the weather to be warmer, the flowers in Da'ao to bloom, the scenery to be seen, and the strawberries to be eaten, before inviting them to come and play.
"There aren't many delicious things? It's okay, Xiao Xia, you can just give it as you see it. You can fry a few plates of loach, rice eel, chicken and bacon." Bai Qishun rolled her eyes at Xia Jiusheng, not accepting his reason.
Xia Jiusheng was also used to Bai Qishun's weird personality, so he didn't argue with him, but went outside to prepare the ingredients, and then went to the kitchen to discuss the dishes for the chef.
The guests are all friends, and Xia Jiusheng will not be stingy.Whether it's fish or loach and eel, he gives a lot of food in each pot, so that they can enjoy it.
Most of the people came here for the first time, and they lost their image after being stimulated by these delicacies.
"Xiao Xia, these private dishes of yours are absolutely delicious. They have spoiled our mouths. If we want to entertain friends in the future, or if we get hungry, we can only ask you to solve it." Bai Qishun rubbed her stomach and sighed.
"Of course it's okay to come and eat, just pay." Zhao Zezhong interjected.
"Don't worry, we won't let Xiaoxia suffer." On this point, Bai Qishun and the others have no objection. Unlike them, Xiaoxia is backed by family power, and everything depends on him. Naturally, they are embarrassed to close down his shop .
"You guys still have a conscience." Zhao Zezhong said triumphantly.
"What do you mean I have a conscience." Bai Qishun snorted, and said unhappily: "You are here every day now, you don't go back to the Shanghai stock market to manage your company, and you don't look for new investment projects. Are you planning to ask Xiaoxia to support you? "
"Yes, are you envious?" Zhao Zezhong shouted shamelessly.
Of course he wouldn't be idle all the time, but he didn't leave because he couldn't bear Xia Jiusheng.
As for investment, he will naturally not stop.Recently, Uncle Huang recommended a script to him. It was about the hero who was murdered and reborn, and then entered the entertainment circle to fight with his enemies in his previous life. He was very satisfied after reading it. After discussing with the scriptwriter for a long time, he planned to adapt it into a series.
The scriptwriter of the first film had almost finished his revisions. He was very satisfied after reading it, so he was waiting to find a suitable director and form a crew.
As for the budget, he didn't pay much attention to it.
If you want to make a good movie, you naturally have to be willing to spend money and polish it with your heart, so that you can produce a high-quality film, so it will not be a small amount.
I originally planned to wait for these matters to be finalized before discussing with my brothers to see who is interested in cooperating and investing.Now that they brought it up today, he stopped being hypocritical and explained his plan again.
Hearing that it was going to invest in filming again, everyone present shouted with excitement.
Sitting next to Zhao Zezhong, Xia Jiusheng saw their investment of 500 million, 1000 million, and [-] million. He really had nothing to say except envy.
It's so easy for rich people to make money.One movie can earn tens of millions, but he is exhausted, so he probably won't be able to earn it.
※※※
Time flies, and it will be March in a blink of an eye.
The weather is hot this year, and the green vegetables in the vegetable field have grown to half a foot high, and it won't be long before they can be harvested.
In the strawberry garden, sporadic flowers are already blooming. It seems that next month, there will be strawberries to eat.
The two old men still live in the courtyard, not to mention their health, they have lived in seclusion here for more than a month, have less contact with the outside world, live a simple life, and feel happier.
This morning, the health doctor took the electric hair clipper as usual to cut the hair of the two old men.
When I get older, I generally like to have flat hair, which is easy to take care of and hygienic, as long as I push it with the electric hair clipper regularly every month, it is convenient.
Unbelievably, after the old man's gray hair was pushed away, the roots of the less than one centimeter long hair were almost all black.
"It's terrible, grandpa, your white hair has turned black, is this going to be rejuvenated?" Zhao Zezhong saw it, screamed, and couldn't help making fun of his old man.
The two old men opened their toothless mouths and laughed like children.
"The feng shui here is good, and it's impossible to be a child again. You should be able to live a few more years." Mr. Li smiled proudly.
"Chief, call." The nanny hurried out of the room, brought the phone in front of Mr. Li, and called hurriedly.
"What's the matter?" Mr. Li's laughter was interrupted by the nanny, and he was a little unhappy. Seeing the nanny's flustered expression, his heart skipped a beat. Did something happen at home?
This is a new type of agricultural management model, and the leaders of the municipal TV station attach great importance to it. It took 10 minutes to make a key report.

Several people helped Mr. Li and Mr. Zhao into the health care room. This was specially built by Xia Jiusheng for the two old people. In addition to the wooden barrel for bathing, the massage bed for massage, and the hydrotherapy bed and other equipment, when the old people are tired , you can come here to rest.
The usual massage is given to two health doctors. They are experts in this field and know how to massage to relieve fatigue.
As for Xia Jiusheng, his main function was to replenish their spiritual energy.
The room is well heated.Mr. Li was stripped of his coat and was supported on his back on the bed. Xia Jiusheng rolled up his sleeves and pressed his hands on his abdomen. His true energy flowed into his hands and gently rubbed his stomach. After a while, he went up again Down, push slowly.
The elderly have poor gastrointestinal function, slow peristalsis, and are prone to food accumulation.Under the stimulation of Xia Jiusheng's true energy, Mr. Li's body regained its vitality and accelerated the digestion process.
In less than 5 minutes, Mr. Li felt his bloated abdomen make a sound of ventilating, and his stomach seemed to be relieved all of a sudden. He breathed out comfortably, opened his eyes and shouted: "Xiao Xia, my stomach is ventilating."
"Okay, Grandpa Li." Xia Jiusheng helped Grandpa Li up.Handed it over to the nanny and said, "Help the old man to the toilet for convenience. I'll prepare a medicinal bath for him. After a while, the old man will regain his spirit."
"Xiao Xia, thank you." The old man said gratefully as he was supported and walked to the bathroom.
He has soaked the medicated bath prepared by Xiaoxiate several times, and after each bath, his body will feel better for a few days.
I don't know how many precious medicinal materials Xiaoxia used to achieve such an effect.
So he was grateful and admired Xia Jiusheng.
If Zhao Zezhong hadn't taken the lead, he really hoped that his grandson would be favored by him.
Xia Jiusheng walked into the bathroom, unpacked the medicine package that was ready to be placed in the space, poured it into a wooden bucket, and poured the space water into a large iron bucket specially designed for hot water, and turned on the boiling switch.
When the temperature is up, pour water into the wooden barrel, test the water temperature, and see that the old man has come out.
Give the inside to the health care doctor to take care of and take a bath. They are used to taking care of the old man, and they are more careful than him.
After the old man cleaned up, he soaked in the water easily, closed his eyes and leaned against the chair to rest.The smell of Chinese medicine in his nose made him feel peaceful and comfortable.But they didn't know that these were all ordinary health-care traditional Chinese medicines, Xia Jiusheng just bought them as a cover-up, and what really worked was the aura of space water.
When the water temperature cooled down, the old man stood up and wiped off the water, feeling refreshed.
Alas, if you go home, you will never enjoy this wonderful feeling again.Mr. Li thought with emotion, after getting used to it here, he might not be able to do without Xiao Xia.

The following works are basically completed, and the orchard on the mountain has begun to break ground.
A large amount of labor was dispatched, and the above bushes were almost dug up, and fruit saplings were planted. As for the weeds, they were not moved.
After the fruit trees are planted, they will not bear fruit for the first few years, so they are most suitable for raising chickens, ducks and geese. These grasses are also one of their foods.
Raising goats is easy. As long as there is grass, they can live well. The main reason is that raising pigs is a little more troublesome. They like to roll in the mud, and if they do not do well, they will arch or break the fruit trees, so they need to be marked separately. place for them.
I found a place with a little barren land and blocked half of the mountain as a pig activity area.
In this way of open-air stocking, the meat quality of the animals will definitely be better, but unfortunately, the breeding time will be longer.
Fortunately, they are all eaten at home or served in restaurants, and they can afford to wait a little longer.
There are quite a few chickens raised in the space, Xia Jiusheng took the time to release dozens of chickens and supply them to the restaurant temporarily.Someone asked, and he said it was a local chicken bought from another farmer's house.
As for the dogs in space, it's time to let them see the light of day.
He released one every few days, and then continued to release it after everyone got used to it.
Although these dog breeds are different, they have one thing in common. They are all intelligent and kind to people, and they quickly become one with the residents of the courtyard house.
With such a large area in Da'ao, it is very useful to keep some dogs, at least it can prevent some wild beasts from ruining the crops.
※※※
This afternoon, Da'ao ushered in a group of unexpected guests.
Zhao Zezhong's group of buddies in Yucheng, summoned by Bai Qishun, took their wives or girlfriends, drove a row of luxury cars, and rushed to Da'ao in the style of sightseeing.
"Xiao Xia, you are too stingy, the restaurants here are open, and you didn't notify us." Bai Shunqi and his group walked into the private restaurant of Nongjiale, looked back and forth, and then sat down carelessly, and shouted.
"Brother Qi, how can I be stingy? Everything here has just started, it's a mess, and there's not much food to eat, so I didn't notify you." Xia Jiusheng called Qu.
He originally planned to wait for the weather to be warmer, the flowers in Da'ao to bloom, the scenery to be seen, and the strawberries to be eaten, before inviting them to come and play.
"There aren't many delicious things? It's okay, Xiao Xia, you can just give it as you see it. You can fry a few plates of loach, rice eel, chicken and bacon." Bai Qishun rolled her eyes at Xia Jiusheng, not accepting his reason.
Xia Jiusheng was also used to Bai Qishun's weird personality, so he didn't argue with him, but went outside to prepare the ingredients, and then went to the kitchen to discuss the dishes for the chef.
The guests are all friends, and Xia Jiusheng will not be stingy.Whether it's fish or loach and eel, he gives a lot of food in each pot, so that they can enjoy it.
Most of the people came here for the first time, and they lost their image after being stimulated by these delicacies.
"Xiao Xia, these private dishes of yours are absolutely delicious. They have spoiled our mouths. If we want to entertain friends in the future, or if we get hungry, we can only ask you to solve it." Bai Qishun rubbed her stomach and sighed.
"Of course it's okay to come and eat, just pay." Zhao Zezhong interjected.
"Don't worry, we won't let Xiaoxia suffer." On this point, Bai Qishun and the others have no objection. Unlike them, Xiaoxia is backed by family power, and everything depends on him. Naturally, they are embarrassed to close down his shop .
"You guys still have a conscience." Zhao Zezhong said triumphantly.
"What do you mean I have a conscience." Bai Qishun snorted, and said unhappily: "You are here every day now, you don't go back to the Shanghai stock market to manage your company, and you don't look for new investment projects. Are you planning to ask Xiaoxia to support you? "
"Yes, are you envious?" Zhao Zezhong shouted shamelessly.
Of course he wouldn't be idle all the time, but he didn't leave because he couldn't bear Xia Jiusheng.
As for investment, he will naturally not stop.Recently, Uncle Huang recommended a script to him. It was about the hero who was murdered and reborn, and then entered the entertainment circle to fight with his enemies in his previous life. He was very satisfied after reading it. After discussing with the scriptwriter for a long time, he planned to adapt it into a series.
The scriptwriter of the first film had almost finished his revisions. He was very satisfied after reading it, so he was waiting to find a suitable director and form a crew.
As for the budget, he didn't pay much attention to it.
If you want to make a good movie, you naturally have to be willing to spend money and polish it with your heart, so that you can produce a high-quality film, so it will not be a small amount.
I originally planned to wait for these matters to be finalized before discussing with my brothers to see who is interested in cooperating and investing.Now that they brought it up today, he stopped being hypocritical and explained his plan again.
Hearing that it was going to invest in filming again, everyone present shouted with excitement.
Sitting next to Zhao Zezhong, Xia Jiusheng saw their investment of 500 million, 1000 million, and [-] million. He really had nothing to say except envy.
It's so easy for rich people to make money.One movie can earn tens of millions, but he is exhausted, so he probably won't be able to earn it.
※※※
Time flies, and it will be March in a blink of an eye.
The weather is hot this year, and the green vegetables in the vegetable field have grown to half a foot high, and it won't be long before they can be harvested.
In the strawberry garden, sporadic flowers are already blooming. It seems that next month, there will be strawberries to eat.
The two old men still live in the courtyard, not to mention their health, they have lived in seclusion here for more than a month, have less contact with the outside world, live a simple life, and feel happier.
This morning, the health doctor took the electric hair clipper as usual to cut the hair of the two old men.
When I get older, I generally like to have flat hair, which is easy to take care of and hygienic, as long as I push it with the electric hair clipper regularly every month, it is convenient.
Unbelievably, after the old man's gray hair was pushed away, the roots of the less than one centimeter long hair were almost all black.
"It's terrible, grandpa, your white hair has turned black, is this going to be rejuvenated?" Zhao Zezhong saw it, screamed, and couldn't help making fun of his old man.
The two old men opened their toothless mouths and laughed like children.
"The feng shui here is good, and it's impossible to be a child again. You should be able to live a few more years." Mr. Li smiled proudly.
"Chief, call." The nanny hurried out of the room, brought the phone in front of Mr. Li, and called hurriedly.
"What's the matter?" Mr. Li's laughter was interrupted by the nanny, and he was a little unhappy. Seeing the nanny's flustered expression, his heart skipped a beat. Did something happen at home?
