Chapter 755 Specialties
Lu Yiming said: "I'm here to see the old man."
Xu Tengyu curled his lips and said, "Don't lie to me here. Don't I know you? You don't come here for no reason. Tell me the truth. What is your intention in coming to see my grandfather?"
"Bah!"
Lu Yiming said unhappily, "Look at my face. I look upright and dignified. I look like a gentleman. How can I be as unbearable as you say?"
Today, Xu Tengyu is brought up by Lu Yiming, and his assets are ranked at the bottom of the Hurun list, so the relationship between the two has become much closer than before, and it is common for them to make jokes while chatting.
Since being included in the Hunrun Rich List, Xu Tengyu has come to understand even more how awesome Lu Yiming is. As a result, he has lowered his posture a lot and even seemed to be fawning over Lu Yiming.
His transformation fully illustrates what it means that ignorance is fearless. Before, he didn't know how awesome Lu Yiming was, and thought that he was from a family of officials and Lu Yiming was rich, but that was nothing special. But now that he has started to make money, he knows that the world economy is the foundation, and the rich are the masters.
"Xiaoyu, you're back."
Xu Changming walked out.
"grandfather."
Xu Tengyu shouted, "Tell me, is Mr. Lu planning to start a profitable business again?"
Xu Changming laughed and scolded: "You little guy, you are obsessed with money now. Mr. Lu came here to launch a series of poverty alleviation projects to help people in remote mountainous areas get rid of poverty and become rich."
When Xu Tengyu heard this, his eyes lit up immediately and he said hurriedly, "Really? There's money to be made here? Mr. Lu, please take me with you!"
Lu Yiming couldn't help but complain: "You are really obsessed with money."
Facing Lu Yiming's comments, Xu Tengyu didn't mind at all, and even said quite complacently: "Young people don't know the value of money."
Lu Yiming said: "Don't worry, Tengyu Logistics will definitely be able to get a share of this. The e-commerce industry has entered a state of rapid development, and the logistics company's business will only get better and better in the future."
Speaking of this, Xu Tengyu couldn't help but sigh: "Before the battle between Taobao and eBay, I really didn't know that the development of e-commerce was so critical to the promotion of the logistics industry. The business orders were pitifully small before, but now because of the various promotional activities of Taobao Mall and Luming Mall, the express delivery business has begun to grow wildly. It's incredible. The times are changing so fast."
Lu Yiming joked, "Of course. In 1999, the concept of online shopping was no different from a fairy tale to ordinary people. Now, online shopping has entered thousands of households. In a few years, I'm afraid only people from Mars will not know what online shopping is."
"Are there really Martians?"
"..., yes, ask your mother to give you some Xizhilang. You said you wanted to be an astronaut."
Zhonghai, editorial department of Yuedu Chinese website.
At twelve o'clock noon, a few little girls were gathered together, chattering about what takeout to order.
Lu Yiming walked in and said with a smile: "I haven't eaten yet, order one for me too."
Several girls were startled and quickly sat up straight, looking stiff.
Lu Yiming said: "Don't be so nervous when you get off work, relax."
Yuedu Chinese website is now divided into male and female sections. The male section has mostly male editors, while the female section has mostly female editors, most of whom were recruited later. Not only are there graduates from literature majors of major universities, but there are also many who have jumped from traditional publishing companies or magazines.
Lu Yiming was not stingy with the salaries of these people, and basically gave them the highest salaries among their peers. However, only the first dozen or so people got shares in the company.
Shi Qingxue was very happy to see Lu Yiming coming. Now that she has her own career and is studying for a master's degree, she basically stays in Zhonghai, while Lu Yiming travels everywhere, and the two often don't see each other.
"You're here."
Lu Yiming took a look at the flyer of Zhenxiang Fast Food in Shi Qingxue's hand and found that it was all fiery red. Many of the packages were spicy. He was a little surprised: "Why are they all spicy packages? What are Ni Cong and Wang Dazhuang doing? Chili is free?"
Wu Mengmeng smiled and said, "Hehe, you don't know this, right? The reason we launched the spicy set meal is because there is a little girl named Sheng Yongshi in the literature club. The chili peppers at home are unsalable. I heard that there are several tons of them, so Ni Cong bought a lot of them at once."
Lu Yiming was very depressed: "What does the unsalable peppers from the girl in the literature club have to do with Ni Cong?"
Wu Mengmeng curled her lips, rolled her eyes at him, and said, "Do you really not understand or are you pretending not to understand? You are obviously just coveting her body."
Lu Yiming frowned: "Damn, they're together?"
Wu Mengmeng said: "Yes, Ni Cong has started to regard himself as my husband now."
"I lost..."
Lu Yiming gave a thumbs up.
"I haven't seen him for a while, and he even hooked up with a school girl. What a good young man. He's an old man who likes young girls. He's a role model for our generation."
Shi Qingxue's eyes widened, and she said with a long tail tone: "What did you say?"
Lu Yiming quickly turned his head and said, "Remember to order some spicy chicken for me, and make a note to ask for more chili."
Shi Qingxue asked suspiciously, "Can you eat something so spicy?"
Lu Yiming said confidently: "Spicy chicken has no taste without chili."
Wu Mengmeng said: "Sheng Yong's poetry is from the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau."
Lu Yiming: “…”
Finished, wrong decision.
However , once words are spoken, there is no way to take them back. Lu Yiming said, "Sichuan cuisine is spicy, and they are not even in the top of the list."
Although it is widely said that Sichuan cuisine is very spicy, this is actually a misunderstanding, because Sichuan cuisine is actually mostly numbing and not very spicy. The spiciness of the food in the Hunan and Xiangxi regions and the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau is much higher than that in Sichuan.
Everyone ordered their meals, and about twenty minutes later, Ni Cong and an employee came over on an electric tricycle to deliver the meals.
Seeing Lu Yiming, Ni Cong was a little excited and shouted, "Lu Yiming, long time no see. If there was no note on the list, I wouldn't have known you were here."
Lu Yiming opened the spicy chicken dish box and found it was full of dried chilies. He scraped it with chopsticks several times before he saw the charred chicken.
The aroma of chili pepper instantly filled the entire office.
"Oh my god, you're so smart, you gave me so many chili peppers, they're free, right?"
Lu Yiming ate a little spicy chicken and immediately felt like his mouth was on fire, but the fragrant and crispy taste of the chicken also filled his tongue. It can be said that he was in pain and happy at the same time.
Ni Cong handed over a glass of water with a smile and said, "Who told you to add spicy food? Come, drink some water."
"Drinking water is useless. Milk can break down capsaicin. You idiot, you, bring me a bottle of milk."
Watching Lu Yiming gulping down the milk, Ni Cong also put away his smile and said helplessly, "There's nothing we can do. I heard that peppers are not selling well. The farmers over there are worried and worried about it. They are trying to get dried peppers, chopped peppers, and pepper powder. Alas, being a farmer is too hard. Not only do you have to rely on the weather for your livelihood, but you also have to rely on the market for your livelihood. If you're not careful, not only will all your hard work throughout the year go to waste, but you won't even be able to make up for the cost of pesticides and fertilizers."
Lu Yiming said helplessly: "I understand the truth, but you can pick up girls, but what's the matter with buying tons of peppers? How long do you plan to use these peppers?"
Ni Cong said to Lu Yiming with a smile: "Why don't you help me sell the peppers?"
Lu Yiming said: "You want to buy so many peppers yourself, why do you need my help? No help!"
Ni Cong said, "You won't help? Don't forget, you are also a shareholder of Fan Zhenxiang! A major shareholder! You also have a share of the losses!"
Lu Yiming: “…”
"When did you learn to use peppers to control shareholders?"
At this moment, a petite and pretty girl appeared at the door. When she saw Ni Cong, she said , "Ni Cong, you are here too."
Shi Qingxue smiled and said, "Shishi is here? Have you eaten yet?"
Lu Yiming looked over there and saw that the girl was gentle and soft, with a pitiful look on her face. He immediately understood what was going on. No wonder Ni Cong was so bewitched by her. This could really arouse a man's desire to protect her.
Ni Cong turned his head, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said happily: "Shishi."
Sheng Yongshi smiled slightly, revealing two dimples, and called sweetly, "Ni Cong."
Lu Yiming said, "Sheng Yongshi, right? I heard that you are from the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau?"
Shi Qingxue said: "This is Lu Yiming, my boyfriend, the big boss of Yuedu.com, and your senior."
Sheng Yongshi quickly said, "Hello, senior. Senior, I am from Wenshan."
Lu Yiming exclaimed: "Wenshan Qiubei pepper is a good thing."
When Sheng Yongshi heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up: "Senior, you also know this?"
Lu Yiming said, "I've read in a book that your Qiubei peppers are spicy but not overly spicy, and rich in nutrients. I remember that Qiubei peppers have always been in short supply, right? How could they be unsalable?"
Sheng Yongshi sighed and said, "This is a long story, so I'll make it short. We sell our peppers to a middleman called Yindehui. This year, he offered us a very low purchase price, saying that the market was not good. According to the price he offered, we couldn't even make back the money we spent on the peppers we planted. We argued with him, but he controlled the channels and his attitude was very arrogant. Because of this, my dad got so angry that he fell ill."
Ni Cong also said to Lu Yiming anxiously: "Look, I am doing a good deed. What if their peppers can't be sold and uncle gets angry and gets hurt?"
Lu Yiming nodded slightly and said, "You are a good person."
The transportation in the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau is inconvenient. There are only one or two families living on the top of some mountains. It is impossible to transport anything grown on the mountain. It may take two days to go to a county town. Under such circumstances, these agricultural products are first purchased by merchants from outside, and then transported out for sale.
Agricultural products are worthless in the field. The prices are raised by distributors and buyers. Farmers have no pricing power or even bargaining power in front of distributors and buyers. They sell at the price they say. If you don't sell, the products will rot in the field and you will lose all your money.
Ni Cong said to Lu Yiming: "I know you have a lot of ideas, so just think of a way to help them. It's not easy for farmers to grow crops. They face the loess and their backs are to the sky, and they are bullied by unscrupulous profiteers."
Shi Qingxue also persuaded: "Yes, Lu Yiming, farmers work hard to farm, and it is really difficult to encounter such a thing. If you have any ideas, please help them."
Although there was no expression on Lu Yiming's face, he was actually very happy in his heart.
He was planning to launch a large poverty alleviation project, but was worried that he would not have the opportunity to promote it. This was like a sleepy man meeting a pillow.
He said proudly, "Don't worry, my schoolmate's affairs are my affairs. I, Lu Yiming, will take care of this matter!"
Ni Cong yelled, "Old Lu, I don't allow you to have any ideas about my schoolmate."
Lu Yiming rolled his eyes at him immediately. "What nonsense are you talking about? I just discussed a poverty alleviation cooperation project with Xu Tengyu yesterday, and we are looking for specialty products. Since the peppers in my schoolmate's house happen to be unsalable and are also geographical specialty products, I will use these peppers as the main product in the first phase."
Then he told everyone about his poverty alleviation plan.
After listening to this, Ni Cong immediately clapped his hands and expressed his support. He has just graduated and has not been smoothed out by society. He is at the age of full of vigor and enthusiasm.
Sheng Yongshi was very happy to hear that Lu Yiming was willing to help, and hurriedly said, "On behalf of the elders and villagers in the village, thank you, senior!"
Lu Yiming said: "Okay, let's eat first. After dinner, I'll come up with an action plan."
That afternoon, Lu Yiming came up with an activity plan. He contacted Fu Ri University and asked the members of the literature club to form a field trip team with him and go to the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau with the Teng Yu Logistics Alibaba team. Minghua Entertainment also sent a photography team to film the entire activity process, intending to produce a documentary and promotional film.
Without pictures, there is no truth. Just by talking about it , many people may not be interested, nor may they understand the details. It is better to take a picture, which is simple and direct.
The activity plan was handed over to Wang Hongsheng by Lu Yiming himself.
"Principal Wang, long time no see. I recently organized an event. This is my event plan. Please take a look. If this event is a complete success, it will also be beneficial to the school."
Wang Hongsheng looked at the activity plan. He certainly knew that this activity was of great significance and would definitely give Fu Ri University a strong presence.
However, he also had concerns.
"Your activity is very good. In principle, I support you very much. But I am worried about the safety of taking students from the literature club with me..."
What does the school fear the most? The most feared thing is the safety of students. If something goes wrong, it will be troublesome. Not to mention the top universities like Fu Ri University. Those who can be admitted to Fu Ri University are the pride of heaven and the hope of their families. If something goes wrong, Fu Ri University will probably never have peace.
Lu Yiming said confidently: "You don't have to worry about this. I am so afraid of death that I definitely brought enough bodyguards! Moreover, the people in Tengyu Logistics are all retired veterans, so their fighting power is definitely beyond doubt."
Wang Hongsheng was still worried and said, "The school needs to send a counselor."
Of course, Lu Yiming readily agreed to this request.
The next morning, the team assembled on the playground of Fu Ri University. Everyone waved red flags and held banners. They held a brief departure ceremony and then boarded two buses to the airport.
A few hours later, the plane landed at Longdongbao International Airport in Gui Province.
Although Wenshan is in the neighboring Yunnan Province, it is close to your province. At present, the airports in Yunnan Province are all in the west and north of Yunnan Province, which are very far from Wenshan. The local airport in Wenshan has just passed the site selection demonstration and has not yet started construction.
For many people, it was their first time to fly, and their legs felt weak when they got off the plane.
Walking out of the exit and looking at the magnificent airport behind us, everyone felt very excited.
Lu Yiming had already arranged the bus early in the morning, and now he was arranging for the team members to take the bus to Qiubei.
Shi Qingxue asked Lu Yiming: "How far is it?"
Lu Yiming unfolded the map in his hand, found Qiubei County, and said, "I checked before. This road is about 600 kilometers long."
"More than 600 kilometers left?"
Shi Qingxue only felt a darkness before her eyes!
They started from an eastern coastal city and took a flight for several hours to get here, and it turned out that there was still more than 600 kilometers to go!
It was not until noon the next day that the convoy entered the territory of Qiubei County.
The road was very bumpy, mostly gravel and mountain roads, not even a decent cement road. Many people vomited in the car.
Ni Cong looked at Sheng Yongshi, who was shaking in his arms, and said distressedly: "When I think about how you have to go through this every time you go to school, I..."
Then he complained: "Can't the government here just build a proper cement road?"
Lu Yiming smiled and said, "This place is poor. Look at the road we have come here, it's nothing but mountains. Where will the money for building the road come from? Will you pay for it?"
Ni Cong, who holds shares in Zhenxiang Fast Food, has also been speculating in stocks with Lu Yiming over the years and is worth billions. In addition, he wanted to show off in front of his sweetheart, so he immediately pretended to be rich and powerful and said, "I'll fix it if I want. How much? I'll pay for it!"
Facing such a willful upstart, Lu Yiming didn't want to discourage him. He just said, "If we build a road here, theoretically, building a cement road is equivalent to paving the road with 100 yuan. You can build the road wherever your money can reach. Of course, this is only the cost of building the road, and does not include other costs such as opening up mountains and expropriating land."
Ni Cong thought about it and was immediately shocked.
A 100-yuan note is 155 mm long and 77 mm wide. To build a one-kilometer road, the minimum cost is 650,000 yuan. With other expenses, it is estimated to be close to one million yuan.
With his wealth, the most he can do is build a rural road.
He said: "I think some things are better done by the state."
