Reborn 1980, Mountains Have Spirits, I Have Fields

Chapter 282 Expansion of Territory ([-])

Ye frowned and thought for a long time, then tasted something: "You mean, you went to Changping to plant strawberries, instead of giving the seeds to the local fruit growers to grow them yourself?"

"Yes." Ling Mei nodded. "Changping is at the foot of the emperor after all. We foreigners may not be able to convince the local people, and we don't have the time and manpower to teach so many scattered farmers like in Nanping. Therefore, we directly allocated land for our company to grow strawberries. At the same time, we can also hire local farmers to teach uniformly during the planting process. In this way, we can generate income for the local area, and our company can also make money.”

He Ye let out a sigh of relief.

This...doesn't it become a landlord?

Lingmei drew a big cake for him: "People's living standards are improving day by day, and the demand for high-end fruits is also increasing. My plan is not only to grow strawberries. It is to develop Changping thoroughly and turn it into a tourism and business center. Strawberry Country in the center. I have already written a proposal, and I plan to take some time to talk to the government leaders of Changping County." She paused, "I just lack a recommendation."

He Ye clicked his lips: "You have a heart and a mind." He paused, "I'll ask the teacher's opinion first. Give me the plan tomorrow."

Lingmei smiled brightly: "Okay."

After the three of them had dinner, He Ye took his leave first.Ling Mei took Zhuo Lin to the bench by the school's lake to blow off some food, and Zhuo Lin reported to her about the company by the way.

"The machines purchased by the textile company are already on their way. In addition, according to your request, I bought two antique lace looms." Zhuo Lin frowned slightly recalling the two behemoths, "But I haven't contacted anyone who can operate the machines. Fortunately, Randy Miller volunteered. He said he was willing to try it. He is currently researching the machine in the factory in Guangzhou."

Ling Mei asked curiously, "Is it the engineer who came from the United States last time? He hasn't returned to China yet?"

A strange smile flashed across Zhuo Lin's face.

"You said, if we could keep him, would you be willing?"

Lingmei smiled and said, "Of course I am willing. Will he?"

Zhuo Lin continued to smile strangely: "There is hope. I will work harder."

Ling Meixi said: "If you can really keep him, I will remember you as a great achievement."

Zhuo Lin suddenly hesitated for a moment, his eyes turned around Ling Mei's face, and he hesitated to speak.

Ling Meiqi asked, "What's the matter?"

He took out a paper bag from his bag: "This is a new candy produced by a food processing factory, and it has been placed in the Friendship Store in Guangzhou. Although the price is more expensive, it is still very popular."

Ling Mei's eyes brightened.

There are many kinds of candy, including milk candy, fruit candy and jelly candy.There are two flavors of each, pure milk and strawberry.The strangest thing is the fudge.The milk-flavored bite is like eating milk cakes, and it is not sweet and not greasy and has a rich milky fragrance.The strawberry flavor is sweet and refreshing, it's like eating a sweet strawberry, and the cheeks are full of fragrance!And the packaging of these candies is very characteristic.The toffee has a cup of fragrant milk printed on the white paper, and the strawberry toffee has pink bubbling strawberries printed on the candy paper.Fruit candies are made of transparent candy wrappers, and the color of the fudge candy wrappers is similar to toffee candies. Each candy is wrapped in a square shape, small and cute.The brand with Chinese and English logos makes people think it is a foreign import at first glance.

Lingmei smiled and praised: "It's really beautiful."

She tasted a few and kept nodding her head: "The taste is also good." She asked curiously, "Candies of this quality are not worried about being sold."

Zhuo Lin smiled: "Isn't the New Year coming soon? The factory has a large output and the products have a good reputation. So I want to promote the brand to the whole country while it's hot."

Ling Mei pondered: "Push to the whole country? It's not easy. But it's not impossible."

The two said in unison: "Advertising."

Zhuo Lin said happily, "I want to do a TV commercial."

Ling Mei snorted: "Of course. If you want to advertise, you should advertise the most effective one."

Zhuo Lin's smile deepened: "I came to the capital this time just to find a director."

Ling Mei couldn't help asking: "Which big director do you like?"

Zhuo Lin couldn't help laughing: "I didn't dare to find a big director to shoot a commercial. I thought of finding a directing student from Nortel to take the shot."

Ling Mei immediately said: "Good idea."

Hello students.Affordable and easy to use.

Zhuo Lin reassured: "I'll report the situation to you after I contact a good person."

After the two finished talking about work, they chatted about the current situation of Lingmei's family.

"Your father started rebuilding the house while you were away."

Ling Mei smiled with crooked eyes: "Then my second uncle's family is going to build a house too? Is the marriage between Sister Zichun and Brother Ling Hai on the agenda?"

Zhuo Lin nodded and smiled: "It's your grandfather who said that your father is the boss, and you build the house first. So your family has moved to the dormitory in the Lychee Garden. By the way, I will help my sister-in-law take care of those old wastelanders."

Ling Mei praised: "My father is thoughtful."

As for the style, layout and decoration of the new house, Lingmei entrusted Xie Genbao with full authority.After staying in Guangzhou for so long, Genbao has seen and recognized the mansion of He's mansion, and he already has hills and valleys in his chest.He was also the one who recruited a group of workers, and together with Yueshan, he drew up the blueprint of the new house.

There's a bit of a hiccup here.

The new house covers an area of ​​120 square meters.According to local customs, one son has one floor.Parents live on the bottom floor.But Yueshan discussed with the village chief, and he wanted to build a four-story house.Leave one layer for Lingmei.

The village chief was in a dilemma: this batch can't come down.

Yue Shan smiled and reminded her: "Is my daughter a talent?"

"Sure."

"Is she going to marry in the future?"

"It's because she's going to get married, so the girl can't get the house and the land."

"But a talent like Lingmei really married out of town. Tell me, is this a loss for our village?"

Hongcun fell silent.

Yueshan continued to work hard: "Lingmei has made great contributions to the prosperity of our village, right? Without her, our village would not be where it is today? Hongcun, the old rules should be adapted according to the actual situation, right?"

Hong Cun took a breath: "If I have that right, let alone leave a house for Lingmei. I can just grant her a piece of land alone. Now the higher-ups can't pass the review."

Yue Shan's eyes lit up: "Solitary batch of land to build a house? That's a good relationship."

Hong Cun gave him a blank look: "Stop dreaming."

Yue Shan said again: "You try it. If you don't try it, how will you know if it will work?"

So Hongcun really sent the report from Yueshan to the Housing Management Bureau for approval.

Not surprisingly, the Housing Authority did not approve it.

There is no longer a mountain to follow.

"Why does my daughter not even have a place to live when she has made such a great contribution?"

In a rage, he saw an opportunity and contacted Deputy Mayor Zhang directly.

Deputy Mayor Zhang sighed slightly.

He can understand the decision of the leadership of the Housing Authority.If it is approved by the Xiao family today, tomorrow a swarm of bees will build a house for the daughter, will they approve it or not?

Yes, men can build houses, but women cannot. This is indeed patriarchal.But the custom has always been like this, and changing the custom is like killing people.The consequences could be disastrous.

But if Lingmei's contribution is so great, if she doesn't even have her share in the family's new house, it really can't be justified.Besides, Ling Mei has repeatedly emphasized that she must continue to build her hometown after graduating from university.

He stood up and looked at the scenery outside the window, rubbing his sore eyes.

Suddenly, his eyes touched the construction site not far away.Construction workers are putting the finishing touches on the windows.This land is a new residential building funded by the municipal government.

Have it.

Deputy Mayor Zhang returned to his seat and swiped a pen: the proposal to reward Xiao Lingmei, who led Xianyun Six Village out of poverty and to prosperity, with a two-bedroom new house under construction was completed in one stroke.
