Chapter 331 A Silent Night
The next day came after a speechless night.
The chickens raised by the grandpa next door started crowing before seven o'clock, and the big black dog raised by the second uncle also kept barking "bark woof" when the morning light showed.
After Chen Pingsheng got up in the big room on the second floor, he finished washing.
In the cold winter, you can only wear warm clothes, long johns, and a thick down jacket.
Song Yanxi is no exception. Her belly is already a little pregnant. The two of them are going to visit the Tenghui Department Store Times Square in the village today.
As for the big fart kid in the other room, she gets up earlier than a chicken and goes to bed later than a dog.
If you ask her what she is doing, she is thinking about how to make two more handsome appearances for the villagers.
Actually, I'm practicing dance.
Chen Pingsheng went downstairs to cook a few bowls of noodles and fried a bowl of chili-fried pork on the way.
Counting the time, he hadn't cooked in some days.
There are still more than ten days before the Chinese New Year, and most young people have not come back yet.
Only some old people and children were left in the village. After breakfast, the family took a car to visit Tenghui Department Store.
He spent 50 million to build this place, and the merchants inside have some plans.
For example, most of the first floor is filled with various electrical appliances and supermarkets.
The second floor is all about shoes and hats, and the third floor is the restaurant.
Further up are the tea room, billiards hall, and entertainment arcade.
The top is a KTV and a cinema. Because the store is free, many businesses in the town have moved to this place.
The main thing is that it is lively, and it has quickly developed into the largest shopping mall in Shilibaxiang.
Compared with the top shopping malls in the city, this place is naturally a little messy, and there are not many brand clothing stores.
It is even more unattractive to KFC, the foreign fast food that children like to eat most.
After all, it is not a profit target that it has to meet.
It is about improving the consumption environment of the whole village. Compared with cities, what is most lacking in rural areas is the consumption environment.
Next are things like education and medical care.
Without a good consumer market and no place to spend money, who would want to stay in the countryside.
Naturally, they all have to go to the city to work.
This is the first Tenghui Department Store Plaza they have opened in a rural area, and they may open ten more in the future.
Until the day it can achieve self-profit, everything is still being explored slowly.
"The Chen family member is here."
"Everyone, come out and take a look..."
"Who is it? It's so lively!"
"Who else could it be? Look at all the cars parked outside. The Wangxian Village Committee is here and Chen Pingsheng has returned to his hometown."
"How come there is no movement at all when he returns to his hometown?"
"If I don't want you to know, why don't you go to Lao Chen's house and ask?"
"This is the Internet age. I didn't look at the news some time ago. They were all about Tengying Group."
"This old Chen is the founder of Tengying Group."
"Let's look at the village. It's a truly outstanding person."
"Who says it's not? Look, he is building a school and a health center. Now he has invested 50 million to build such a big super plaza. We come here to play mahjong every day. We only pay a little rent. None."
"They are doing charity projects to repay their hometown, and they still care about your little rent."
"The one wearing a snow-white down jacket next to her is probably his wife Song Yanxi. My husband is from their side. I often saw this girl when she was young, and now she is enviable."
"Don't just be envious. She had nothing when she married her husband, and then she quickly became rich. Over the years, the old Chen family member has been extremely kind to his wife."
"No one can find anything wrong with it."
Chen Pingsheng and his family were still visiting the first floor, and the second floor included the merchants on the third and fourth floors.
At this moment, everyone has stood at the corridor to watch, maybe he will come up later.
To these small business owners in the village, Chen Pingsheng is nothing short of a legend.
Every time he returns to his hometown, he causes great commotion. This has nothing to do with his high profile, just because of his status.
At ten o'clock at noon, the secretary of the county secretary came over in person, hoping to invite him to the county.
Chen Pingsheng did not go.
At 12 o'clock at noon, the Shacheng Municipal Committee called. He didn't say anything specific but just asked when he would go to Shacheng.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, the secretary contacted him personally, hoping that he could take time to visit the main residence.
The secretary wants to see him.
The main reason is that Tengnong Breeding has set its headquarters in Shacheng, and has successively established its own extremely powerful agricultural breeding technology team.
As well as a dual R&D team to support farmers, more than 3 billion have been invested in Southern Province.
It also recruits a large number of graduates from major agricultural universities. No matter how you look at it, it is one of the largest public welfare and agricultural assistance projects in Southern Province.
The key point is that such a project was initiated by a private company, which makes people feel a little ashamed.
The secretary did not make a big fanfare to make an appointment with him, but first set a time to meet.
Later, during this time, Chen Pingsheng was asked about his overall plan for Tennong breeding in the future.
Chen Pingsheng came with his wife to participate.
After chatting with the secretary for more than an hour in the afternoon, he also spoke openly and positively for the first time about his expectations for the future of Tennong Breeding and the ultimate significance of founding it.
To put it bluntly, Tengnong breeding has two hopes placed on Chen Pingsheng.
The first one is that he must use his own strength and rely on the platform of Tennong Breeding.
Let most of the empty-nest elderly or families in rural areas truly have a place to rely on in old age.
The second is to make the wasteland in rural areas realize real secondary utilization with the help of his personal large funds and professional team.
While growing safe, healthy, organic vegetables, you can also raise a series of the best chickens, ducks, fish and meat.
Tengnong Breeding relies on the funds of Tengying Group to promote it.
Let alone the next five years, he has no plan to make a profit even in ten or twenty years.
And one thing that can be confirmed is that in 2017, Tengnong Breeding will inject another 500 million to 800 million in support funds.
In the next three years, no less than 15 billion will be invested again.
By that time, Tengnong Breeding will definitely be the first public welfare project in Nan Province.
The secretary was a little surprised. It stands to reason that enterprises do charity either for fame or for profit.
There are always some ideas in it.
However, the Tengnong Breeding project is truly working for farmers and the people.
Apart from other things, every year, the wasteland in rural areas has to be rented at a rent that is more than ten times the market price.
God knows how big the risk is.
This is different from a one-time donation, and there is no worry at all.
Tengnong Breeding is truly teaching people how to fish, and it will allow the people on this land to benefit from it forever.
This is thousands of times more difficult than a simple donation.
It is no exaggeration to say that if Chen Pingsheng donated all 3 billion to Nan Province.
Then he would immediately become the top philanthropist here, but he chose to take a longer and more difficult road.
He intends to use the super agricultural breeding group of Tengnong Fresh to complete the continuous help to rural families or empty-nest elderly people in the next ten or even decades.
This is the real great kindness.
The secretary convened a study on Tengnong Breeding that night and proposed to do his best to help it.
This is not an empty talk, after all, the person who said this is too simple.
Everyone has no problem with the opinion.
The main thing is that this project is a pure public welfare project no matter how you look at it, let alone making a profit.
It can be thankful that it does not lose money.
Especially if this project wants to continue, it needs to continue to invest money in it.
As for the return, they can't see it anyway.
The main reason is that the rent is too high, and he has to ask the villagers to help him raise the livestock, and then pay a salary that is not lower than the average income in the city.
No matter how you look at it, it will take four or five years to make a real profit.
At this investment, even if it makes a profit, God knows how long it will take to get back the investment.
Combining all the above factors, Tengnong Breeding can basically be defined as a super-large agricultural support project of purely charitable nature from a commercial project.
This coincides with the government's advocacy of poverty alleviation in recent years.
It is rare for a real entrepreneur in China to be based on agriculture.
They naturally have to escort this project.
At least ensure that the unreasonable troubles of the Liu family will not happen again.
...
Speaking of entrepreneurial charity.
Many people are doing it, but the meaning or purpose of doing it is very different.
Some people do it for tax deduction, and some people do it purely to improve their reputation.
Of course, no matter what the purpose is.
The meaning of charity itself is good, but the foundation of all this should be based on the employees of the company having enough salary.
The income of employees of Tengying Group has always been the highest in the industry, even the highest.
It is the same for Feiyangyang Catering and Lujiao Coffee.
In his opinion, it is a crime for a boss to try to make high profits by squeezing the labor of employees.
They should all be eliminated by history.
However, the easiest way to get a good reputation in charity is to donate to your alma mater, that is, university.
Unfortunately, his highest education is junior high school.
If he donates 100 million or 200 million to Wangxian Junior High School, the principal will have to drive a Mercedes-Benz in less than a month.
Most people from top to bottom will become rich because of this.
The money in small places is checked layer by layer, and only one in ten can be put into practice.
Donating is actually a very simple thing, just spend a sum of money.
But teaching people to fish is different.
This can allow ordinary families in the village, even the elderly, to actually enjoy the rental income for five years or even ten or twenty years because of these acres of land.
This is similar to the concept of supporting three generations with one shop.
Chen Pingsheng would not spend all his money in Wang County, or even in Nan Province.
That would have too little influence, and the huge agricultural output would affect the income of other places.
He needs to develop in a balanced way, which is destined to be a long road.
He held a meeting in Shacheng for two days, and he would rush back every afternoon or evening to accompany his parents, grandparents, and have a reunion dinner.
It was the end of January, and the New Year was approaching.
Chen Pingsheng boarded the private plane for the return flight. In the future, whenever he wanted to return to Nan Province.
The route could be approved as soon as possible.
His younger sister Chen Qi did not follow him, she had to stay at home until the end of the New Year.
He went home in a hurry, and left in a hurry.
The old lady did not leave either, she had to stay at home at least until after the Lantern Festival.
By then, the private plane would come to pick them up.
When leaving, Chen Pingsheng once again allocated 1.5 billion to Tengnong Breeding to further expand agricultural production and animal husbandry.
Without his support, this project would never have developed into the first agricultural public welfare support project in China.
So far, he has allocated 4.5 billion yuan for this project.
It benefits hundreds of thousands of rural people.
Unlike Wang County, Shanghai is a real world city.
It shows its elegance and material desire everywhere.
In this place, as long as you have money, there are countless beauties and endless school beauties.
I don’t know when it started, but the most praiseworthy beautiful love has become vulnerable in the face of money.
16 years is destined to be an extraordinary year for Tengying Group.
Their family has completely risen in the business world, and has successively defeated Huayi and the business myth Dareshi.
While reaching the top of the entertainment industry, it has also established a firm foothold in the technology industry.
It has completely become the fastest-rising super-large group in China.
The first thing to deal with when I came back this time was the five-star internal hotel for employees that their family invested 300 million yuan to build in Shanghai Jinshan.
It opened.
Chen Pingsheng did not go to cut the ribbon, but asked Yang Mi to go.
With the opening of the internal five-star hotel for employees, it means that parents of employees who come from afar no longer have to spend money to stay in hotels.
They can all stay in the internal public welfare hotel for free and enjoy a one-stop free service of food and accommodation.
The reason why Yang Mi was asked to cut the ribbon is mainly because of her reputation.
Some time ago, Tengying Group mobilized the influence of public opinion and quickly promoted the investigation of Reshi, which has made many people dissatisfied.
Even those retail investors, many of them blamed the root of all this on Tengying Group.
At this time, he must vigorously promote public welfare projects.
It is also used to dispel some "characters" who should not have ideas.
To put it bluntly, Tengying Group also has a lot of shareholders, including many bigwigs in the capital world.
There is also the strong support of Tong Zelan, a family with a similarly deep foundation, and a lot of top rich women in Beijing.
Not afraid of some small winds and waves at all.
As the saying goes, the bigger the wind and waves, the more expensive the fish.
He used Yang Mi to cut the ribbon for the Tengying Charity Hotel, and also eliminated the dissatisfaction of some bigwigs with Tengying Group in advance.
Along with the opening of the Jinshan five-star hotel, the internal private education primary school built by Beijing with an investment of 500 million yuan also opened.
Zhao Liying was called to cut the ribbon.
The internal private primary school also includes infrastructure such as kindergartens, which are also provided for employees.
The simultaneous opening of two super-large public welfare projects still caused quite a shock in China.
Including the Shuiyunjian Public Welfare Library built by him with an investment of 800 million last year, and the public welfare hotel in Beijing.
In two years, 2 billion yuan has been invested in charity.
This is a conscientious enterprise no matter how you look at it.
Unlike his unlimited glory, Huayi has been particularly miserable during this period.
At the last moment, he was completely kicked over the wall by Jia Yueting who will return to China next week.
I am afraid that not many people will disagree with saying that he is the most miserable in 2016.
In just one week since he returned, Huayi’s stock price has completely fallen below the market value of 10 billion.
Compared with his previous 100 billion, it is simply a world of difference.
Now he didn't need to do anything, Huayi was pinned to the wall by Reshi.
If he couldn't pay the bank's mortgage in February, Huang Zhongshi's Huayi headquarters building, the super villa in Xiangjiang, and the super-large courtyard house in Beijing would all be auctioned off.
By then, he would definitely go to join in the fun.
As for now, he should deal with the things in front of him first.
...
The days passed slowly, and it was really time for the New Year.
Instead, only their family was in Shanghai, and everyone else went back for the New Year holiday.
While Chen Pingsheng was making dumplings at home, he also prepared a few hard dishes.
The big fart kid was helping on the side, and the little fart girl was trying to make trouble over there with her little butt up.
She was taken aside by her sister and stayed there honestly.
"Dad, can you make me some fried rice later?"
"Why are you making fried rice with so many dishes?"
"I want to eat it. I haven't had your fried rice for a long time!"
"Okay." Chen Pingsheng asked her, "Where's your mom? Why doesn't she come down to cook?"
"She's doing the accounts upstairs. She's drooling as she does it."
Chen Anan laughed. She always felt that her mom was more obsessed with money than she was.
Only about half of the 20% of Tencent shares were cashed out, which added up to 80 to 90 billion.
Song Yanxi didn't know how to spend it.
"Go call her. Why is there so much money to calculate?"
Okay... Chen Anan ran upstairs quickly. Song Yanxi didn't have much to do now.
The group was on holiday, and Shuiyunjian also had 15 days of annual leave.
She will come to work on the ninth day of the first lunar month.
Most people are busy all year round just to have a good New Year, so they must have enough vacation time.
After all, many people have to spend a day or two on the way home.
