Chapter 1085 The Money Is Gone (40008000)

Chapter 1085 Money is Gone (4000/8000)

Zuo Yongsi has arrived at Qingshi Town, which is not far from Caojiazhuang.

As the road from Taodong Village to Caojiazhuang in the north has been widened into a two-way four-lane road, and Taodong Village and Zhujiazhuang have expanded their parking lots, the overall congestion has been greatly alleviated.

Cao Shujie brought Cao Shuchao to the door of his house and did not wait for long before Zuo Yongsi's driver drove him over.

When he saw Cao Shujie, Zuo Yongsi seemed particularly enthusiastic.

Along the way, Zuo Yongsi looked at the vehicles on the road and knew that Caojiazhuang had successfully opened the park again.

For him, the success of Caojiazhuang's tourism business is his guarantee for upward development, and all of this was created by Cao Shujie.

Regardless of whether he admits it or not, he owes Cao Shujie a great favor.

"Director Zuo, let's go to your house and sit for a while, and then go to the scenic spot later." Cao Shujie invited Zuo Yongsi and Cao Shuchao to go home together.

Father Cao Jianguo set up a stall at the door, still selling bread, eight-treasure porridge and pure milk, but now they make their own bread. The cost ratio is not lower than the price of purchasing from the county bakery, but now they can strictly control the quality and ensure the freshness of the bread.

The price has not changed, and it is still sold at 5 yuan each.

Wang Yuelan still helps her son take care of the children and takes care of the health of her father-in-law.

As Cao Zhenghu gets older and his body functions further deteriorate, the family can see that Cao Zhenghu may not last for a few years, but Cao Shujie wants to let his grandfather live a few more years within his ability.

When he took Zuo Yongsi and Cao Shuchao in, Wang Yuelan was playing in the yard with his grandson Cao Yirui.

Seeing her son coming with guests, Wang Yuelan nodded and said hello, and then didn't ask any more questions.

Her daughter-in-law Cheng Xiaolin went out to shoot videos again.

Completely giving up the way of selling data cables, Cheng Xiaolin now seems to be particularly attentive to running her own self-media account, and the frequency of updating videos is also higher than before.

With the further development of mobile Internet, Cheng Xiaolin now earns a lot more money from converting traffic through videos than before.

In addition, Cheng Xiaolin now also accepts some product advertisements, which are embedded in videos. The price is not low, and the cost of one advertisement is about 300,000.

In actual calculation, Cheng Xiaolin's commission income from advertising is higher than that of many first-line stars, and the cost of the videos she shoots is much lower than those stars.

However, this data is not made public, and few people who are also in the self-media circle know it.

She is pure and silent to make a fortune.

This is also a major reason why Cheng Xiaolin does not take the profit of selling data cables seriously now, she has the confidence.

Entering the house, Zuo Yongsi saw Cao Shujie's grandfather Cao Zhenghu sitting in the living room listening to the radio.

He took the initiative to greet Cao Zhenghu.

"Grandpa, this is my guest, Director Zuo of the County Cultural and Tourism Bureau." Cao Shujie introduced his grandfather.

Cao Zhenghu nodded and motioned Zuo Yongsi to sit down.

He actually didn't care about Zuo Yongsi's identity. Even when Xiang Yuheng, Wang Qinghui and others came over, Cao Zhenghu would not have much reaction.

At this point, he has let go of everything, even life and death. Perhaps what Cao Zhenghu can't let go of are his grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

After making tea, Cao Shujie introduced Zuo Yongsi to the situation after the opening of the park and orchard. Especially when he heard Cao Shujie introduce the roller coaster and the flow of people on the renovated barren mountain, Zuo Yongsi seemed more attentive.

Under the joint witness of the County Culture and Tourism Bureau and the Municipal Culture and Tourism Bureau, Cao Shujie and the Caojiazhuang Village Committee invested more than 120 million yuan to renovate this barren mountain. Regardless of how much profit they get, they can attract more tourists, which is what Zuo Yongsi cares more about.

Hearing Cao Shujie talk about the beautiful scenery after the transformation of the barren mountain, Zuo Yongsi was also very itchy in his heart. He wanted to go and see it now.

Cao Shuchao saw that Cao Shujie and Zuo Yongsi had something to talk about, so he said goodbye first and took the people from the public security brigade to patrol the whole village.

Before Cao Shujie and Zuo Yongsi sat down and finished a pot of tea, he took the curious Zuo Yongsi around the park and the orchard.

After the two sides, it was past lunch time, so Cao Shujie took Zuo Yongsi to Xinjiang Hotel for lunch and drank a few less cups at noon.

At this time, Zuo Yongsi was still thinking about the people queuing in front of the roller coaster. He really didn't expect that a roller coaster would attract so many tourists.

While sighing, Zuo Yongsi had to admit that Cao Shujie's 19.8 million roller coaster investment was indeed worth the ticket price.

Zuo Yongsi didn't dare to say that Cao Shujie could get his money back in a year, but according to the density of people in the park, he believed that the time to get his money back would not be too long.

When Zuo Yongsi got on the car and left, he felt that he had gained a lot.

He was still thinking about how to write a report after returning to report the situation here to Director Pan.

Cao Shujie didn't go to see the situation in the park and the orchard. After knowing the general situation, Cao Shujie already had a rough idea of ​​the two sides.

He was still thinking about the topic he talked about with Cao Shuchao this morning.

Cao Shuchao didn't know that Cao Shujie had invested a lot of money to build this laboratory and invested a lot of money to buy high-tech scientific research equipment.

Individual research and state-led research are not the same thing at all. The amount of money consumed is huge for ordinary people.

Cao Shujie told Cao Shuchao that building this laboratory is a money-eating beast, which is not an exaggeration at all.

Since the last bull market, Cao Shujie has taken 400 million yuan from the stock market.

Only a small part of these funds is used as daily expenses for their family, and most of the funds are used as investments in various projects and continue to be invested.

For example, the infrastructure construction of Caojiazhuang Children's Theme Park cost more than 30 million yuan, plus the 19.8 million yuan for the roller coaster, adding up to more than 50 million yuan. This was all paid by Cao Shujie himself, and no second person was used to invest.

For example, the investment company established for the barren mountain transformation project raised a total of 120 million yuan.

Among them, Xuerui Investment, established by Cao Shujie, invested more than 100 million yuan in the barren mountain transformation project, accounting for 70% of the shares.

This 100 million yuan of funds was also cash Cao Shujie paid out. He did not play word games or make false investments like others. He was doing business seriously.

In a sense, 70% of the rental income of the stalls attached to the barren mountain transformation project belongs to him.

The investment in these two areas has exceeded 150 million yuan.

In addition, he spent more than 40 million yuan to buy land in the town and build a modern cow farm, which is already an investment of about 200 million yuan.

These investments wiped out half of Cao Shujie's original funds.

The remaining 200 million yuan was invested by Cao Shujie in the construction of the laboratory and the purchase of equipment.

His wife paid for the recent expenses at home.

But the problem is that the large amount of money invested is just the beginning, and it is far from the time to see the benefits.

Cao Shujie has not touched the company's profits in the past few years. He has always kept the money in the company's account, but this time Cao Shujie considered the critical moment and he still wanted to use the money.

The initial investment of 200 million yuan in building this laboratory does not mean that the project is done and no additional funds will be invested in the future. On the contrary, this is just the beginning. With the establishment of the research project and the purchase of more sophisticated experimental equipment, the amount of funds required in the future will be greater.

It is very likely that the price of a high-precision experimental equipment will exceed 100 million yuan.

Another point is that research does not mean that you will definitely get results if you spend money to buy equipment and find people.

Even though Cao Shujie's research on nutrient solution has reached a very mature second-generation product, for subsequent research, Cao Shujie still has to spend a lot of money to do experiments.

No one can succeed casually, this is not a joke.

Cao Shujie is now mentally prepared to face the more severe challenges ahead.

If a large amount of funds is needed for research one day, Cao Shujie has also thought of a way for himself. He doesn't mind selling the bitcoins in his hands one after another.

For Cao Shujie, the money he can get is money, and the so-called high price has nothing to do with him.

Who knows whether Bitcoin can rise to its original high price in this life?

It's just that Cao Shujie is a little disappointed that his research has not received any national funding subsidies.

Otherwise, he could get a lot of subsidies and special research expenses from the state every year, just like the research institute where he used to work, so he wouldn't have to pay for it himself.

Sometimes Cao Shujie would also consider that if the funding gap in the later stage is too large, he doesn't mind introducing other funds.

But judging from the current situation, there will be no such worries for at least one or two years.

For the time being, the money-making speed of Xuemeng Food Factory can fully meet the expenses of this laboratory.

"If I spread the word about the laboratory, I guess a lot of venture capital will come to invest in this project?" Cao Shujie thought to himself.

At present, this matter is only known to a small number of people, but those people don't know what project Cao Shujie is going to do.

"Shujie, can you help me see if there is anything wrong with this video?" Cheng Xiaolin called her husband for help.

Cao Shujie responded and went upstairs to watch the video shot by his wife.

This is a video imitating the landscape renovation project of Kanas Mongolian Township in Hemu. The scenery in the video is eye-catching. This is the video edited by his wife. All the scenic spots in different places are displayed in a very short time.

Cao Shujie looked at this video with a strong publicity effect and his eyes were brightened.

It must be said that his wife understands his thoughts best.

Cao Shujie also found the problem after watching it. Some of the content in this video is obviously separated from the overall video concept.

This feeling makes people feel particularly uncomfortable.

Cao Shujie watched it from beginning to end twice again, and he pointed out a part of the content to his wife.

Hearing him say this, Cheng Xiaolin immediately realized what the problem was.

After the modification, Cheng Xiaolin patted her husband on the back and said, "Husband, it still has to be you."

"Hey, they are all small problems. How is it? Is there anything else?" Cao Shujie asked her.

When he saw his wife shaking her head, Cao Shujie went back to his own business.

…

On March 15, after the Children's Theme Park and Mengmeng Orchard officially opened, except for the first day when they were packed with people, there were not many people during the next two working days. However, on Saturday and the weekend, there were so many people that Cao Shujie was surprised.

Taodong Village and Zhujiazhuang have both expanded two large parking lots, but the parking lots are still full of cars in a short period of time.

Zhuang Xuejian and Zhu Hongwei were very happy to see this result.

They knew very well that the parking income alone was a considerable fortune for them.

In addition, those who parked in their village would more or less buy some small things in the countryside and take them back.

This can also be regarded as a way to generate income for the villagers.

But they also knew that these incomes were really just scraps, and they could not be compared with the overall income of the people in Caojiazhuang.

There was no way to compare with the people who got 60 stalls.

After the 60 people who got the right to rent the stalls at the foot of the mountain in Caojiazhuang shared their gains with the villagers, the most direct consequence was that more people came to the Caojiazhuang Village Committee to ask if the remaining 140 stalls could be built and rented out as soon as possible.

They have realized that these stalls will definitely make money, but it is just a matter of how much they make, but they did not expect it to be so profitable.

It is really far-fetched.

This also made the more than 300 households that were eliminated after the lottery feel very unwilling. They wanted to urge Caojiazhuang to speed up the construction and rent out the remaining 140 stalls as soon as possible.

Some people swore that they would grab a stall this time.

On the other hand, the villagers of the two villages really envied the villagers of Caojiazhuang.

The income difference between the two sides is quite large.

Under the premise that the people of the three villages have invested in agricultural planting cooperatives and planting and breeding cooperatives, the biggest difference comes from the income of Caojiazhuang villagers who can set up stalls around the two scenic spots of parks and orchards.

It would be a lie to say that they don’t envy the villagers of Caojiazhuang.

But they know very well that envy is useless. The village party secretary of their village is not as powerful as the village party secretary of Caojiazhuang.

Moreover, the village party secretary of Caojiazhuang is too young, only in his 30s, and it is not a problem to work for another 30 years.

They really can’t imagine how far Caojiazhuang will develop under the leadership of such a capable village party secretary.

Once this issue was considered, the villagers of Zhujiazhuang and Taodong Village had a deeper idea about merging their two villages into Caojiazhuang.

And some brave villagers took a few people to ask their village cadres about this matter, mainly asking whether there was any possibility of merging them together.

Although Zhuang Xuejian and Zhu Hongwei would usually talk about this matter.

But they felt uncomfortable when they heard the villagers bring up the old things again and again.

Still thinking, how could the villagers in their village do such a thing.

Isn't this just looking down on them!

The resentment went straight to the sky!
