Chapter 768 Wuzhen [Ask for a monthly pass! 】

Lu Yiming went offline after chatting for a few words, but the excitement in the QQ group didn't dissipate just yet.

Zhou Hongyi: @杰克马, where is Wuzhen?I feel like I've heard the name before, but I don't know where it's located. It's not a big city, is it?
Ma Teng: I know, it seems that Wuzhen is not far from Hangzhou City.But there doesn't seem to be anything special there. @杰克马, you are living in Hangzhou, quickly analyze why Mr. Lu chose that place.

Jack Ma was actually dumbfounded—even more so than everyone else.Because it is true that this Wuzhen is not far from Hangcheng, and he also has a certain understanding of the situation there.

"Is there anything special there?"

"Yeah, why did Mr. Lu choose to be there? @杰克马, tell me, so we can understand."

Jack Ma couldn't stand everyone's questioning, so he said: "Fairly speaking, there is really nothing special about Wuzhen. If there is, it is very poor and backward!"

For Jack Ma's statement, the people in the group didn't seem to buy it.

"you sure?"

"Aren't you kidding me?"

"If this is the case, how could the richest man in Lu put our industry conference in Wuzhen? Don't be joking, just say something reliable."

Undoubtedly, everyone has tacitly agreed that Lu Yiming will not raise unreasonable opinions, so Lu Yiming must have a special intention in choosing Wuzhen.

This made Jack Ma very embarrassed, and said: "I really don't know. A protection project for the west gate was just launched there not long ago. I heard that it is going to be a tourist city, and now it is undergoing large-scale development and construction."

He passed by Wuzhen once when he was a child, and his impression of it was only three words—dirty, messy, and poor.

And it's not just his thoughts.
In 1990, the tractors in the Ivory Mountains ran everywhere, but the first road leading to the village was built in Wuzhen.

It is said that with roads you can get rich, but Wuzhen is an exception. After the roads are opened, there are still many dilapidated places, the rivers are stinky, and garbage is everywhere.

Even the artist Chen Danqing once complained: Wuzhen at that time was like a hell where chickens crowed and water flowed.

This is Wuzhen, a broken place that is not only congenitally deficient, but also develops slowly.

After Jack Ma introduced the general situation of Wuzhen, there was a brief silence in the QQ group.

After a while, Ma Teng said, "Then why did Mr. Lu choose there?"

"Yeah, from what you said, it's too much there, right?"

"Did the richest man say something wrong?"

Everyone was stupefied, wondering why Lu's richest man chose Wuzhen. After all, there are so many places in the country to choose from, so why did he choose such a corner of the mountain?
On the other side, Lu Yiming called Li Yiwen and asked him to prepare for the meeting in Wuzhen.

Li Yiwen is well-informed. After hearing the name of Wuzhen, he immediately said: "Hu Xueyan used to do rice market business in Wuzhen and made his first pot of gold. Based on this, he became a red-capped businessman. Now go Do you want to imitate Hu Xueyan when you hold a meeting there? Then this is not your first pot of gold. Besides, is there anything special about this place?"

Lu Yiming replied with a smile: "What's special, it doesn't exist yet, but it will be available soon."

Li Yiwen complained: "You sound like a fortune teller, what, you have learned to read Feng Shui recently?"

Lu Yiming laughed and said, "I can't understand Feng Shui, but I can read people."

Li Yiwen asked: "So, it's not about feng shui, but about appearance?"

Lu Yiming said earnestly: "Cousin, can you stop being so feudal and superstitious? Forget it, come with me to Wuzhen, meet a person, listen to him say a few words, then you will understand why I chose Wuzhen .”

Hearing that Lu Yiming was going to Hangzhou, Li Quanwang, who was bored at home, immediately took the initiative to run over and wanted to follow him shamelessly, so Lu Yiming had no choice but to take him with him.

The group flew from Baiyun City to Hangzhou on the plane that had just been overhauled.

Jack Ma, who had already received the news, was already waiting at the gate of Xiaoshan Airport.

"Mr. Lu."

"Mr. Ma."

Lu Yiming shook hands with Jack Ma, and said with a smile, "Long time no see."

Jack Ma said with emotion: "It's really been a long time since I saw you. A lot of things have happened during this time."

Lu Yiming smiled and said, "It's not a big deal. We're going to Wuzhen for inspection. How can it be more convenient?"

Hearing that Lu Yiming and the others were going to Wuzhen, Jack Ma immediately volunteered and said, "Are you going to Wuzhen? Then I'll take you there. Anyway, I'm still a half-native, so I must do my best as a landlord."

In fact, Ma Jieke was also curious about why Lu Yiming chose Wuzhen as the address of the meeting, so he wanted to follow up to find out.

Lu Yiming was not familiar with Wuzhen, especially the current Wuzhen. Now that Jack Ma took the initiative to ask for a job, he naturally couldn't wait for it, so he said smoothly, "Since you are so polite, then I will not be disrespectful."

A few hours later, Lu Yiming and the others entered Wuzhen in a commercial vehicle provided by Jack Ma.

When the car passed a street, Jack Ma enthusiastically introduced: "This is where the TV series "Time Like Water" was filmed."

After a while, I passed another street, which looked a bit dilapidated. Li Yiwen asked, "Where is this place? Why are you demolishing it?"

Ma Jie looked back, his expression froze immediately, and he said awkwardly after a long time: "Four years ago, there was a fire here. Halfway through, I went to visit other people's houses to chat. In the end, the pot failed to watch, and the house was burned down, not to mention seven historical buildings along the road. The town has been raising money for these years, and plans to repair this place. build."

If it was an ordinary fire incident, it would be fine. After all, people have missteps and horses have stumbled, but these burned buildings are historical buildings, and the meaning is completely different.

In recent years, there has been an upsurge in ancient buildings. Antique buildings are being built in many places across the country. As a result, the real ancient buildings here have been burned. The comparison between the two feels very inconsistent.

This matter is not only a matter of the whole town, but also a matter of the whole township and the whole city. If Li Yiwen hadn't asked about it, Jack Ma would not have wanted to talk about it.

As long as Jing Mimi fixes it again, no one will know about it.

While speaking, Jack Ma has been paying attention to Lu Yiming's reaction.

Because according to the results of everyone's private discussions, it is very likely that Lu Yiming wants to invest in Wuzhen.After all, now that Wuzhen has determined its tourism development route, development and construction are going on everywhere, and Lu Yiming has several real estate-related companies under his name.

This also explained why Lu Yiming chose such a place where the conference was not shit.

And ancient buildings are of great benefit to attracting tourism investment.

Therefore, now Jack Ma is very worried that after Lu Yiming knows the news, he will cancel the possible investment plan.

After all, if Lu Yiming, the richest man in Asia, invested in Wuzhen, it was Jack Ma who brought Lu Yiming to Wuzhen. By then, Jack Ma would not be able to earn some fame and connections?
Seeing that Lu Yiming's expression didn't seem to have changed significantly, Jack Ma couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

At the same time, I was even more confused in my heart. If Lu Yiming didn't come to invest in construction, then why did Lu Yiming choose Wuzhen?
However, no matter what, it was good for Lu Yiming to pay attention to Wuzhen.Jack Ma changed his tone and introduced: "Although Wuzhen is just a small town, it has a history of more than 7000 years, and the culture of Jiangnan water town is extremely strong."

Li Yiwen couldn't help complaining: "The few historical buildings just now were burned down, so what else is there in this place?"

It has to be said that where the economy is backward, the thinking must be backward.After experiencing this fire, Wuzhen began to pay attention to the protection of historical relics, especially those ancient buildings that have been passed down. In fact, "rescue" is more appropriate to describe the development in recent years.

At the same time, Zhouzhuang, the water town next door, has been hopping for more than 10 years, and the ancient city of Lijiang has also entered the world cultural heritage list.

If Wuzhen wants to develop a tourism economy, it has to work hard on its cultural heritage.

Li Yiwen's slander directly wiped out all the topics. Jack Ma searched for a long time before finding an idea, and asked Lu Yiming: "Mr. Lu, you are coming to Wuzhen this time because you plan to hold the conference first?"

Lu Yiming said: "This is just one of the reasons. The most important thing is that I came here this time to meet someone."

"Meet someone?"

When Jack Ma heard this, he immediately became interested and asked, "Who is it?"

He was in Hangcheng next door, and he hadn't heard of any awesome people in Wuzhen, so it was worth Lu Yiming's visit.

Lu Yiming slowly said a name: "Chen Xianghong."

"Who?"

Jack Ma racked his brains, but he couldn't remember that he had ever heard of a famous person named Chen Xianghong.

Ten years later, due to the splendor of Wuzhen, Chen Xianghong, known by the industry as the "Godfather of the Ancient Town" and nicknamed "Contractor Mr. Chen", is now just a little man who begs his grandparents and grandmas everywhere.

Of course, even though he is a small person, Chen Xianghong has made achievements.

First of all, in 2002, he was named as one of the top ten figures in the tourism industry of Xiaguo by the Xiaguo Tourism News, and one year later, he was awarded the Outstanding Achievement Award for Heritage Protection in the Asia-Pacific Region by the UNESCO World Heritage Center, which is quite famous in the tourism industry. Rise up, small achievements.

However, this little achievement is nothing in the eyes of a real boss.

At this time, in Wuzhen, in a very ordinary house.Chen Xianghong took off the towel on his forehead, and he was a little dazed.He yawned and asked, "What time is it? Are you about to leave for the reception?"

A young man in his 20s advised, "Mr. Chen, don't you still have a little fever today? Why don't we go to this reception?"

His name is Long Zhan, and he is Chen Xianghong's assistant.

Chen Xianghong said firmly: "How can I do that?Manager Gong is present at this reception, if we don't go, we won't give him face, do you still want a loan? "

Chen Xianghong knew that his subordinates were concerned about him, but Wuzhen would not be able to develop without money, so he cared more about whether the funds would arrive than his health.

"But……"

"It's nothing to worry about. For our team, all resources must be won by me."

Chen Xianghong said it firmly.

What is most needed to develop an ancient town?

money!
How to get money?
The first thing to do is to find a bank loan.

In order to get the loan, Chen Xianghong went all out this time.

While speaking, Chen Xianghong had already changed into his suit.He urged Long Zhan: "Hurry up, don't be late."

Seeing that the persuasion was ineffective, Long Zhan had no choice but to go out with Chen Xianghong.

In the hotel box, among a large table of delicacies, the most eye-catching thing is a box of Moutai.

As soon as Chen Xianghong entered the door, a bald man with a big belly got up and said with a smile: "Mr. Chen, you are here."

Chen Xianghong forced a smile and said, "How dare I be late for dinner with Manager Gong?"

"Hey, what are you talking about? We are friends, don't make it so awkward. Come, come, sit first. The waiter can serve."

When Manager Gong spoke, he had already pulled the liquor box on the table in front of him, skillfully removed the tape seal, and said, "If you don't get drunk tonight, you won't go home."

Looking at the box of white wine, Chen Xianghong felt his heart pounding, but he had no choice but to say with a smile on his face: "The big guys need to work together so that Manager Gong can enjoy himself."

After a while, the food was on the table. Manager Gong said to Chen Xianghong: "Mr. Chen, I have heard that you are a big drinker. I also felt that you are really good at drinking. How about today, I drink a bottle and you drink a bottle too." , is this fair? If you can drink a few bottles, I can lend you tens of millions. The interest rate is the lowest."

Everyone present knew that Manager Gong was so big that he never had a good time for drinking. It was obvious that he planned to make fun of Chen Xianghong today.

Long Zhan looked at Chen Xianghong with some concern.Chen Xianghong caught Long Zhan's gaze, but he didn't back down. He put a bottle of wine in front of him with a smile, and said, "Manager Gong is a bright person. I haven't had a drink for a few days, why don't you come first?" Two cups to soothe your throat?"

"Look at you, are you angry? It's so troublesome to use a cup to pour, come here, blow the bottle directly."

"Ah this..."

Chen Xianghong choked up suddenly.

He is still running a fever today. If he drinks slowly, as long as it takes a long time, the alcohol will evaporate quickly, so it is not a big problem to get a bottle.

But now Manager Gong is asking for a quick drink. Let's not put it bluntly, even drinking beer is easy to get drunk.

Manager Gong raised his eyebrows and said with some displeasure: "What? Doesn't Chen always want to drink with me?"

Chen Xianghong quickly said: "Of course not. Since Manager Gong wants to drink, how can I not accompany him? I hope Manager Gong will keep his word."

"Of course. Come and drink."

"it is good."

Chen Xianghong grabbed the wine bottle, gritted his teeth, and took off the cork directly, and blew into his mouth.

The pungent white wine penetrated into his throat, making his whole body tremble, as if a ball of fire flowed from his mouth all the way into his internal organs.

When I came here, I didn’t eat anything in my stomach. Now I drink directly. After drinking half a bottle, Chen Xianghong couldn’t hold on anymore. ?"

Looking at Chen Xianghong's red-faced and shaking face, Manager Gong seemed to have seen the clown's funny performance, and laughed loudly: "Okay, keep your word, I'll approve 500 million for you."

"Thank you."

"Come, come, eat some food, let's continue later, you still have 500 million in your hand."

After drinking a bowl of hot soup, Chen Xianghong felt much better. Looking at the wine bottle in his hand, he began to drink again.

President Gong gave a thumbs up and said, "Good job!"

In the end, after only one sip, Chen Xianghong couldn't stand it anymore, rushed out of the box, and threw up in the toilet.

Long Zhan quickly followed.

"This Gong Xingzhi is too much. He knows you can't drink and still pours you like this. It's obvious that he is making fun of us."

Long Zhan complained while patting Chen Xianghong's back to induce vomiting.

Chen Xianghong leaned on the wall with his left hand, bent over ninety degrees, vomited violently, waved his right hand behind him, and said weakly: "I'm fine, just drink a little wine, I can't die, isn't this 500 million yuan?" ? Then I can finally do something good.”

In 1999, Chen Xianghong had already taken over the post of director of the Wuzhen Conservation and Tourism Development Management Committee. At that time, he did not even have an office, let alone a team.

When he came to Wuzhen, he only had one car, 15 yuan for start-up expenses, and 1300 million yuan in company capital allocated by the government.

Until now, no one could have imagined that Chen Xianghong would be able to revitalize the poor and white town into the No. 1 ancient town of Xiaguo in ten years.

After vomiting for a long time, Chen Xianghong felt that his whole body was going to collapse. Naturally, it was impossible to drink and eat again, so he had no choice but to leave.

On the way back, Chen Xianghong sat in the back row with his eyes closed, while Long Zhan drove in front.

Not long after driving out, Chen Xianghong's cell phone rang, he took out the cell phone in a daze, and pressed the answer button.

"Hey?"

The voice of Chen Xianghong's other assistant came from the phone: "Mr. Chen, why didn't your phone get through just now?"

Chen Xianghong already had a fever and drank alcohol, so his consciousness was a little fuzzy, so he replied casually: "I was drinking with Manager Gong just now, so the phone has been turned off."

"Oh, this is a big miss. Just now a big man came to our office and said he wanted to see you, but you weren't here, and the phone couldn't be reached at all."

"See me? Who is it?"

"It's Lu Yiming, the richest man in Lu, who wants to see you! You weren't there when he came just now, so he said he would come tomorrow."

"Oh, then I'll see you tomorrow."

After Chen Xianghong hung up the phone, he shook his head. It was obviously too uncomfortable to drink while having a fever. He now has a splitting headache.

Long Zhan asked, "Who called?"

Chen Xianghong frowned and replied, "It's Xu Yi. He said someone wanted to see me."

"Who?"

"What is Lu Yiming, the richest man in Lu... what the hell, the richest man in Lu!?"

Chen Xianghong sobered up instantly.
