Super-rich: Spending money is just a job!

This time, Xiao Tang was transferred to a community as the secretary, which is considered a minor top position.

Once you arrive at the grassroots community level, there are even more trivial and mundane things to deal with.

They also frequently have to go around begging for donations to help impoverished households solve various problems, such as delivering supplies.

While others found begging for alms difficult, Xiao Tang didn't find it difficult at all. He could get as much as he wanted; his family was in the grain and oil business, and his company could strongly support him. Most importantly, his grandfather had given his support, so no one else in his family objected.

Anyway, the packaging bags for these donated supplies are all covered in company advertisements, which is practically advertising. Not to mention, they can occasionally bring some honor back to the company. Their family is indirectly paving the way for Xiao Tang's career.

Besides grains and oils, Xiao Tang also promotes community canteen projects, providing affordable and high-quality food to residents of his community.

Guess who the partner is for the community canteen project.

It's just that affordable chain restaurant that Lin's older sister directly manages.

When Xiaomeng saw this good news, she quickly instructed the central canteen to expand its production capacity and supply several canteen outlets. They offered fried rice, fried noodles, steamed buns, and congee/rice dishes—all suitable for the elderly and children. Their restaurant was already very affordable; in Beijing, a breakfast could easily cost less than ten yuan. Now that they were joining the community canteens, they didn't even need to adjust their prices.

Although this activity appears to be a charitable endeavor with very low profits, or even no profit at all, it can expand the company's raw material procurement scale and further reduce procurement costs, thus generating profit.

It can also bring a good reputation to your company. Getting noticed by superiors is like adding a layer of protection to your company.

If this is done steadily and properly, it will make you stand out in the communities of Beijing and attract the attention of the upper echelons.

As long as people say that the Lin family's company has a strong sense of national responsibility, that's enough. From now on, we can do business peacefully and steadily.

With the support of Lin's central kitchen, the community canteen in Xiaotang's neighborhood is doing exceptionally well. It's not only inexpensive, but the food also meets the tastes of most people.

Many people writing budget travel guides for Beijing include these community canteens as essential energy replenishment points. Anyone visiting the area will definitely stop by these inexpensive community canteens.

Because Xiao Tang managed the community well, he was praised when he reported to his superiors.

With his background, he received praise, but no one could suppress his achievements, and he was soon transferred from the capital to work in another city.

……

"Boss, there's an investment project briefing in the city next month, and they've sent you an invitation to attend."

At this moment, Xiaomeng was lying in her family's manor in Chuncheng, enjoying the warm breeze and sunshine, feeling so comfortable that she was about to fall asleep.

Sister Zhang sat behind her at a small table not far away, reporting on her recent work.

"Ah," Xiaomeng opened her eyes, "What kind of meeting is it again? If the meeting is going to be too abstract, just find out who's home in Beijing and send a vice president-level employee to attend."

Sister Zhang's meticulous report stated, "The meeting's main purpose is to facilitate connections between new startups and investment institutions, promoting project implementation. Some university and research institute laboratory projects may be announced at the meeting. It's said that only state-owned investment and financial groups are invited to participate, after a screening process."

"Miss, Mr. Tang also suggested that you go back and have a meeting to discuss this further."

"Oh, I see. I'll go check it out then. A meeting only state-owned companies can attend? I'm a little curious." Xiaomeng nodded. "Let's put this meeting on our schedule."

"There's one more thing. Your beloved horse, Capibala, has been sent back to its stable in Europe. You mentioned last time that you needed me to keep an eye on this for you."

"Huh? What? Where did this child go? Wasn't he always in Europe?" Xiaomeng was a little confused.

Sister Zhang gently reminded him, "Kapibala was sent to the Middle East six months ago, have you forgotten?"

"What? No, it's not like you've been gone for half a year? Didn't you say you'd only be borrowing it for a month or two?" Xiaomeng's eyes widened, and she sat up straight from the recliner. "Did the nanny and training team come with you? How is the horse's condition?"

Ms. Zhang immediately connected with equestrian trainer Charlie's overseas call.

Seeing from the video that the ponies hadn't lost weight and were in good spirits, Xiaomeng was relieved and complained, "What's wrong with Ali? He's been borrowing my horse for so long. How many ponies does he want to breed?"

Old Charlie, far away in Europe, answered knowledgeably, "It's only about ten horses. I didn't let Capibala work continuously; I only let the horses mate once a week. Don't worry, Capibala is in good condition. When she's not in good condition, I don't let them take the horses away. That's why it took a little longer. It's $100,000 per time, and I've already received the payment."

"Hey, these rich people really love raising horses. They're willing to spend so much money on breeding them."

"Madam, our Capibala is a champion horse. Although it's not a speed racehorse, it's still a rare and excellent horse, isn't it?" Old Charlie was very proud of Capibala, especially since the owner, Lin Xiaomeng, paid him such a high salary to take care of this champion horse.

Xiaomeng smiled. "Yes, Kapibala is an elegant equestrian horse, what a pity."

Old Charlie on the other end of the video shrugged. "Age, the length of an athletic career—these are things beyond human control; it's up to God."

Among the five- or six-year-old ponies newly trained this year, there are quite a few good ones. Would you like to take a look sometime?

Xiao Meng thought for a moment, "I won't go. You can choose one for me. Remember to pick one with a good sense of rhythm, like Kapibala, who's really good at hitting the beat."

Old Charlie looked helpless. "Do you think horses like this are everywhere? In all these years, the only horse I've ever seen that can dance on its own is Capibala."

We might have a chance to reproduce on our own.

Seeing the look on Old Charlie's face that said, "You're making things difficult for me," Xiaomeng chuckled twice and hung up the phone. Ah, finding a horse is best left to the professionals.

After lunch, Xiaomeng went to a scenic spot in the afternoon to take a look at the local businesses.

These kinds of scenic spots are also big money-burners, requiring a lot of money to maintain every year. Road repairs, boardwalk construction, adding safety measures, fire prevention measures, and so on—all need to meet standards, which is no easy feat.

Therefore, the local collective economy cannot develop on its own and can only seek external assistance and cooperation.

Xiaomeng's company has been under contract for twenty years, and she has already invested several small fortunes. The income is just so-so, and the output has not yet covered the investment. If she had a different boss, she would have quit long ago.
