Chapter 130: Continuous Self-improvement
Wei Jie and others didn't have to wait long before someone notified them that someone was coming.
Wei Jie had actually been waiting for this kind of thing for a long time. First of all, it was inevitable that the city government would come to visit Wei Jie. Unless there was an accident, they would come sooner or later.
Wei Jie is a disabled person and also the most profitable young man in the entire Hunan Province.
The former is nothing, but not everyone can suffer worse than Wei Jie and still survive.
Vegetative patients are a separate matter. Apart from vegetative patients, there is basically no disabled person whose injuries are more serious than Wei Jie and who has not yet stopped breathing.
The key point that makes a miracle a miracle is its uniqueness.
With extensive paralysis all over the body, people either commit suicide or die from worsening of the disease. Few people can survive.
Considering Wei Jie’s actions in the second half of last year, it would be abnormal if the municipal government did not come to contact Wei Jie.
In fact, they had met at the end of last year, and Wei Jie originally thought that it would take some time before they met again.
But the actions of Gu Xiaoai and the other person might have alarmed some people, and those people alarmed some more people, which led to this visit.
Wei Jie looked at Gu Xiaoai, who was trying hard to find something to do and wanted to pretend to talk to Wei Jie like the other nurses did as they had rehearsed.
This time, perhaps, was the closest she had ever been to a bureau-level official since she was born.
Soon, after someone knocked on the door and the nurse inside went to open it, more than ten people walked in one after another.
The hospital's director was responsible for introducing the two parties, and Wei Jie also put down what he was doing and greeted everyone.
Of course, I greeted him while lying on the bed.
The dean enthusiastically introduced the various people, and then they started chatting with each other.
They first talked about the pig farm. Wei Jie roughly talked about the plan for the second half of the year. There was nothing to hide about this kind of thing. It should be developed step by step and steadily.
After hearing about Wei Jie's development plan, Mayor Su said, "The current policy strongly supports breeders. Wei Jie, your farm has already reached the level of 10,000 heads. Have you ever thought about expanding production?"
Wei Jie had no such idea. He chose to raise pigs last year at the most critical time.
It's too early. It's not allowed to keep it at all. The policy at that time would not support it.
It's too late. There are too many competitors. It's impossible to buy other people's surviving pigs at a low price.
At that time, many farmers did not want to raise pigs. They were completely desperate about this industry. In order to avoid huge losses, they sold the pigs worth 500,000 yuan in the pigpen for 150,000 or 160,000 yuan.
The more money the pig farmers made in the second half of the year, the more losses the pig farmers suffered in the first half of the year.
Some things are not invisible or unexpected to others, but no one dares to take the risk.
Yang Guozhi also believed that pork prices would definitely rise, but he did not dare to invest in pig farming because he had seen hundreds or even thousands of pigs die from a disease, and he had also seen what happened to those pig farmers.
Wei Jie dared to use the money borrowed from his father to invest in a business he thought might make money. In fact, he was also prepared for the risk of failure. He had only 80% confidence in himself, and the remaining 20% was luck. No one could guarantee that his family would not be one of the tens of thousands of unfortunate people.
"No, the scale is already very large now, and with the increase of a large number of practitioners, the market is slowly approaching saturation." Wei Jie refused.
After hearing this, Mayor Su added, "I heard that you have started a cold storage business to store vegetables and fruits."
What kind of business Wei Jie has is no secret to the municipal government, and all tax payments will be reported.
"Yes, I have thought about expanding the cold storage business so that I can store more fruits, vegetables and other supplies. It's not that I mainly do this kind of business, but more customers will stock up on these supplies right now."
Because of the location, this is actually not very profitable.
There are national material reserve bureaus in various places. They purchase low-priced materials for storage when prices are low and sell them when prices are high.
Private cold storages are just the opposite. They sell off when prices are low and store and freeze the products to lower prices when prices are high.
Mayor Su found that Wei Jie was very talented, able to understand things very well, and had a very keen eye for economics.
Whether it is pork or vegetables and fruits, he has a forward-looking vision and understands it better than the economic experts who cooperate with the municipal government.
Because we are also tasked with providing food, and stabilizing prices is an important responsibility, so we pay more attention to the matters concerning cold storage and farms than other matters.
"Regarding the expansion of the cold storage, what are your thoughts? The province is now supporting local talents and enterprises . Wei Jie, your situation is special. If you have any difficulties, please tell me."
Wei Jie thought for a moment and said, "The most stable business in the cold storage is still aquatic products and agricultural and sideline products and fruits. Because the main customers are people in the urban area, most of them are built around the city. Our city does not have a large demand for this. If we want to expand, I plan to double it."
After hearing this, Mayor Su said, "Safety work must also be done well."
Wei Jie said, "Yes, I told people to do a good job of safety registration when I asked them to manage the cold storage, and also to cooperate with the inspections of various departments."
Mayor Su was very satisfied. The market has been too chaotic in recent years, and some people dared to speculate in everything. It was time to regulate it.
Control cannot be blind. He needs to know how much uninvested materials are in the market, otherwise it will be bad if prices rise.
Others may not be able to see it, but Wei Jie is very clear that his cold storage is now half confiscated.
The Material Reserve Bureau is a trump card that cannot be easily mobilized locally, and specific control can only be carried out with an order from the state, so Mayor Su now hopes that Wei Jie will take on this role.
Price rush.
Mayor Su felt that Wei Jie was a talented person, so he said with regret: "It's a pity for you. If you were fine, you would be doing great things now."
Wei Jie said seriously, "Yes, if I hadn't accidentally fallen from the building, I would have been fine."
Mayor Su was stunned for a moment. What he heard was that Wei Jie jumped off the building because he was heartbroken.
However, this kind of thing was not filed and was not recorded in the archives, so no matter what Wei Jie said, he was right.
Since Wei Jie said so, Mayor Su didn't care about such a small matter. After all, it wouldn't sound good when publicized.
"Well, we should be more careful indeed. This person is prone to accidents if he's not careful."
Mayor Su characterized the incident as an accidental fall from a building.
The two did not say anything more about this matter. Mayor Su quickly said, "Wei Jie, how is your recovery recently? I heard from the comrades in the hospital that you have recovered very quickly and your mentality is very optimistic."
Wei Jie said: "Yes, with the help of the doctors and nurses in the hospital, my body is gradually recovering. I can now use my left hand with difficulty. Although I can't sit up yet, I am very confident about my recovery!"
"That's good. It's rare to find a young person as strong as you nowadays. I heard that you haven't applied for a disability certificate yet. The comrades from the Disabled Persons' Federation are here to help you apply for one."
Mayor Su did not bother to talk himself, but introduced the purpose of bringing the local Disabled Persons' Federation personnel here this time.
Wei Jie has always been very idle, but because of many things, he has not had time to apply for a disability certificate, nor has he thought about joining the Disabled Persons' Federation.
Wei Jie's parents did think of this, but neither of them was willing to go through the procedure for Wei Jie, as they always felt somewhat reluctant to get this certificate.
It’s not that Wei Jie himself was unwilling, he just simply didn’t think about it.
This time the person came by himself and quickly helped Wei Jie complete various procedures in the ward, keeping everything simple.
After chatting with people from the local Disabled Persons’ Federation, Mayor Su quickly talked with Wei Jie about the affairs of Lvliu Town.
This actually has little to do with Duansha City, and it is the responsibility of senior officials to take care of it. However, Mayor Su has his own ideas.
"Wei Jie, the intimate chat app you created is very well-known in our city of Duansha. Currently, the largest number of users in the country are from Duansha, so have you ever thought about establishing the company in Duansha?"
Lvliu Town is under Honghua County, but Honghua County is not under Duansha City, and there is not only one Duansha City in Hunan Province.
Wei Jie's company's clients are mainly people from Duansha City, but the company has moved to a township under the jurisdiction of the neighboring urban area.
It’s okay now, but when I have more income in the future, I won’t have to pay taxes here in Duansha.
In order to avoid future disputes and difficulties in relocation, Mayor Su mentioned this matter in advance.
Wei Jie was from Duansha City, and his business was aimed at the citizens of Duansha. It was reasonable and logical for Wei Jie to move his business to the jurisdiction of Duansha City.
Whether Wei Jie sells the company or runs his own business in the future, it will be very difficult to change locations, so it is necessary to do things well now.
In the past, the higher-ups turned a blind eye to this issue, but now that all the major companies have come, it would be unacceptable for them to ignore it.
Wei Jie had no problem with this and said, "It is indeed necessary to expand. The staff in Green Willow Town is already saturated, and I plan to maintain that scale."
"We will build a larger company in Duansha City, with about 1,000 employees. It would be best if it is located near the county seat. However, I am not in good health right now, and due to the cost of equipment and factory construction, I plan to wait until the second half of the year. It will mainly target laid-off workers."
"This is not very profitable, mainly because of the lack of resources and users, but there should be no shortage of investors. The most important problem is not money, but the test of society and the market. It is currently in the trial operation period."
"My goal is simple, just enough to support my spending and the cost of my current treatment."
Seeing that Wei Jie was willing to set up the company's headquarters in Duansha City, Mayor Su said with satisfaction: "Now our city has always received very friendly feedback on your product. We also encourage more people to follow your example and strive for self-improvement!"
At this time, the dean looked at Wei Jie, then looked at the words hanging opposite, and his eyes hinted.
Wei Jie did not pretend to be blind. He told everyone that the calligraphy on the opposite side was a gift from the dean, and said some words of thanks.
Hello, I am fine, and everyone is fine. Wei Jie will participate in the election for this year's National Model of Self-reliance for the Disabled!
Before leaving, Wei Jie asked Gu Xiaoai to support his back and took a photo with the mayor.
The main purpose of today is this photo!
Without Wei Jie saying much, Gu Xiaoai printed out the photo, enlarged it, framed it and hung it in her and Xu Zhaorui's office.
On this day, there were countless likes and comments in Gu Xiaoai’s circle of friends.
At this point, Xu Zhaorui’s plan for getting rich, his life, and his future plans were no longer attractive to Gu Xiaoai.
No longer an essential spare tire, but an optional spare tire.
