Chapter 1539 Shame

It was a simple car, similar to a golf cart or a scenic battery car. It also had Jiasheng's logo on it. I thought it would not be a battery, but his lithium battery.

Naturally, it also has a strong sense of design, but what impressed Jobs most was the color of the car. It was not his favorite high-tech color such as silver and white, but a somewhat cold color, but a fresh apple green. .

But such a color is indeed very appropriate and full of life in such a fresh town.

"This is an internal entrepreneurial project of a lithium battery company, and it is relatively successful," Feng Yiping said.

As he drove, he greeted pedestrians on the roadside from time to time and people who came out of the shops on the roadside after hearing the news. He took them through the earliest and most mature industrial park and introduced himself to them. His first factory, some of the cabinets produced by this factory have already crossed thousands of mountains and rivers, crossed the vast Pacific Ocean, and finally arrived in the United States.

He led them through a business district that was becoming more and more prosperous, but naturally still not comparable to big cities, but had its own unique characteristics. He would often point to a store and say that it turned out to be a wasteland that no one cared about.

He led them past the residential houses built on the mountains along the mountains, and the factories built on the flat land between the mountains. He said that these places used to have some barren mountains with only lonely mountains. There are only a few trees and even bushes. Now there are not only so many buildings for production and life, but also more trees.

He took them for a walk along the leisure trail by the river. The river was not big and it was entering the dry season. It was not really beautiful. However, this place and the parks before and after it were always the first choice for leisure for the residents of the town. In this place, the river embankment is built of bluestone, which is solid and wild.

He proudly said that this long river beach is not only free of any garbage, but also that children and young people playing barefoot on the river beach do not have to worry about broken glass under the beach when the weather is hot.

He also took them past the very inconspicuous town government and under the town's martyrs' monument...

He took these five world-class entrepreneurs for a large circle around the town. Finally, along an asphalt path that was still surrounded by green trees, he arrived at a place halfway up the mountain behind the town. house.

Under the big ginkgo tree in front of the house, there is a set of rattan leisure tables and chairs, with tea, nuts, fruits and some snacks placed on them.

On the other side, there is a set of sturdy solid wood dining tables. It is empty at this time. However, the kitchen on the left side of the house sounds very lively, and there is an attractive aroma coming from it. It seems that a delicious meal is being nervously prepared. .

"Come on, please have tea," Feng Yiping greeted everyone enthusiastically.

"It seems that the factories in this town are mainly invested by you?" Brin had been wondering why Feng Yiping was so popular here. After looking around, he finally had a rough guess.

"In the first two years, almost all the factories were invested by me. Later, local residents and businessmen from other places also invested and set up factories here. We have now formed several relatively complete industries. chain," Feng Yiping said.

“What was it like here before,” Bezos asked, looking down at the booming town below.

"It's not much better than the small towns we passed along the way," Feng Yiping said. "On average, the annual income of most family members, if converted into U.S. dollars, is less than $500."

Feng Yiping still pointed out that in the past 2003, the per capita income of urban and rural residents in their province had just exceeded 4,000 yuan, so he said that this data was watery. In their place, if we discounted it in half on the basis of 4,000 yuan, it would be a four-digit figure. For a small family, an income of 8,000 yuan a year is an ideal situation.

He has now raised it to nearly $500.

In fact, in national-level poverty-stricken counties like theirs, the per capita income of most people was relatively in line with the national poverty population standard, which was 637 yuan per capita (2003 standard).

"On the whole, there are still many places like ours in our country,"

Even Steve Jobs was a little moved, "The poverty standard in the United States seems to exceed US$5,000?"

"It can't be compared," Feng Yiping said with a smile.

For 5,000 U.S. dollars, the current exchange rate is around 8 yuan, which is equivalent to more than 40,000 yuan in RMB.

Even if inflation is not taken into account, only a few places in the country will be able to achieve this figure in 10 years.

“We have to take into account actual purchasing power,” Bezos said.

At this time, Jobs couldn't help but think of another problem, that is, whether the pricing of his company's products was too high.

"Now, the annual per capita income of employees working in Jiasheng in the town exceeds US$4,000," Jin Ling said.

"What was this town like a few years ago?" Page asked, standing by the fence with his hands folded.

“It seems to be on the town government’s website,”

After a while, the computer connected to the network cable was passed between the hands of several bosses.

Only through comparison can identification be made. When they looked at the shabby and depressed photos of Wuli'ao before, then looked at the prosperous scene now, and then looked at Feng Yiping, their eyes changed.

Although they also donated money and expressed their concern for the poverty and diseases here, no one has made such specific achievements quietly like Feng Yiping.

"It is equivalent to that you have changed the appearance of this town with your own strength," Musk said.

"I just started it and set an example. Now more and more residents have spontaneously joined the ranks of entrepreneurs. You may have also seen the Youjia convenience store under Jiasheng. We can sell qualified products through this platform."

"We also hope that with this small town in front of us as the center, we can radiate to the surrounding areas, which can influence and change the concepts of more people and enable more people to live a relatively prosperous life."

"Although from a business perspective, it is not rational to invest a lot of money in such a geographically remote area with high logistics costs, but from a social perspective, it is undoubtedly successful," even Jobs affirmed.

In normal times, these people would definitely not care about such specific things. For them, charity means donating money to some projects that they think are good, but the sharp contrast between those old photos and the current achievements still shocked them and gave them a new understanding of Feng Yiping.

"Sometimes I feel a little ashamed because I am not as concerned about poverty in other parts of the world as everyone else, and I am not like Bezos and Musk, who are considering the big issue of the future survival and development space of our entire human race. I may spend more time and resources on the surrounding areas of my hometown. Haha, I also think that I am a little petty,"

"No, no," the others denied his statement.

"If you still ignore the poverty and backwardness of your hometown with your current achievements, and talk about poverty and diseases in Africa and the survival of endangered animals at various charity donation gatherings all day long, that will make us doubt your sense of social responsibility and affect our perception of you. What you do is a better action than charity," Jobs's speech is very representative.

This is also what Feng Yiping disliked most about some so-called "celebrities" in China later. They are in line with international standards in many aspects and talk about poverty and diseases in other parts of the world.

They only know how to pursue trends and make themselves international, but they don't think about the reason why Bill Gates and others pay so much attention to Africa because the living conditions of people in his country, where he was born and raised, are already extremely developed.

If the places where they were born and lived were equally poor and backward, I'm afraid that the first thing they would pay attention to would not be the situation in other regions.

And those "celebrities" in China who strive to catch up with international celebrities, when they talk about poverty in other parts of the world with emotion, have they ever thought about whether the places they are familiar with are also like this?

Feng Yiping always feels that with the current situation in China, it is better for the country to pay attention to such things as the development of other parts of the world.

"In fact, our place, not long ago, also had many highly contagious infectious diseases. When I was born, I inherited tuberculosis from my mother. This is also the reason why my family lived in poverty before. But now, our country has been making great efforts to eradicate this infectious disease. All those who are infected with this disease will be treated by the state..."

Feng Yiping made some of his situations and ideas public without reservation for these future key partners. At this time, Mei Yiliang came out of the kitchen with a tray and greeted everyone with a smile, "Lunch is ready,"
