Song Tan's Notes

In fact, you can ask Secretary Xiao Zhu about this matter. Her answer will definitely be more down-to-earth.

But Secretary Xiao Zhu did a good job in benefiting the people, and Boss Chang had a good grasp of business and people's hearts. Song Tan just happened to think of this, so he asked about it.

Boss Chang really thought about this question for a while. After a while, he spoke first: "I have been to your place and stayed there several times. In my opinion, the overall atmosphere in the village is quite good. And because it is in the mountainous area, the clans and ancestral halls are not very important, right?"

Song Tan nodded.

It's more than just not caring, it can be said that it is quite people-oriented.

Just by looking at the meaning of burning paper at home during the Qingming Festival, you can know that in other traditional places, death is treated as life, and they always focus on the present - of course, what should be done is still done, such as inviting Taoist priests when an elderly person dies.

In addition, although there are a few unfilial sons in the village, if we really talk about the overall atmosphere, it is really good in the surrounding area. As for the clan ancestral hall and the like... there is no such thing.

Song Tan explained: "Many people in our village fled here during the famine and flood. Their ancestral homes are not here, and their surnames are all different. They can't form a clan."

"Back then, the older generation just wanted to survive, and gradually, there were fewer rules."

The advantages are quite good. At least the village is not as patriarchal as other places... Of course, this is all by comparison.

For example, if Aunt Lianhua gets divorced, it will be difficult for her to apply for a homestead before Secretary Xiaozhu comes.

Boss Chang nodded and said, "Look at some coastal cities. After they make a fortune in business, they either build ancestral halls or pay respect to their ancestors. This is also a way to give back to the hometown and connect with the hometown spirit."

"But I guess you don't like these empty words... Many charities are not easy to do now, such as road construction. If the government refuses to recognize the road you donated, you may be fined."

"There's also transportation... Transportation is inconvenient in your area, with only one bus going from village to village a day. If you donate two cars to open a route to town, that's a good thing... Then this brings up another issue. If you get into a traffic accident, will people come to trouble you?"

"Also, will the business of those who used to drive private cars in the village be affected by your business?"

Boss Chang analyzed it one by one, and Qiao Qiao and Lu Chuan listened carefully. The former opened up his mind, and the latter, although he couldn't understand many parts, didn't stop him from writing them down first.

The more you analyze, the harder it becomes.

Because working in the village is really hard! If you are not careful, you will be in trouble both inside and outside.

Boss Chang now understood why Song Tan had received the money for a while but had not taken any action yet - he really couldn't take any action!

There are even some things that Secretary Xiaozhu can do with the support of the government, but she cannot.

He pondered for a long time, and finally said: "You may only have 10 or 20 million in your pocket now, and you can't do anything. It's better to put this plan aside for now."

"If you want to give back to your hometown, the safest way I can think of is to give everyone a higher salary - but you must not do this right after you return home, you have to discuss it with your Party Secretary Zhu!"

Boss Chang has his own business acumen.

"For example, the staff in my hotel are very busy now, but even the most ordinary and lax waiter can earn more than 5000 yuan a month."

"But the base salary is only 3000."

"First of all, a base salary of 3000 plus a bonus of 2000 is different from a fixed salary of 5000. The subjective initiative is different."

"Secondly, if a woman with a base salary of 3000 yuan has her bonus deducted for poor performance, she will feel sad but will generally work harder. But if a fixed salary of 200 yuan is also deducted, it is likely that she will find it difficult to accept." "This is not because we capitalists are exploiting people, but because human resources management should be done in moderation. Other villages pay 300 yuan a day, but you pay 300 yuan and work a few more days. Not only will other villages grumble about you, but the villagers here who are paid yuan may also complain that you are being taken advantage of, or why don't you pay them a little more?"

"Of course, it's not that we can't give it, but it would be best if the extra money is in the form of a bonus."

Song Tan understood these principles.

In fact, Wulan and Song Sancheng are the ones who understand it best. They may not be able to sum it up in words, but they have their own wisdom in life.

After giving the instructions, Boss Chang added, "Anyway, I can't come up with any good ideas for the time being. I'll ask those clients who made fortunes in the early years."

Song Tan nodded. Boss Chang originally wanted to linger for a while, but when he saw the three of them eating quietly, he said goodbye reluctantly.

As soon as he left, Lu Chuan laughed first: "I was too superficial before, afraid that you wouldn't be willing to spend money and enjoy life. You were obviously living a hard life before."

It's really bitter.

Wulan and Song Sancheng's lifelong hardships, Qiaoqiao's childhood deprivation, Song Tan's precocious and poor adolescence, and bringing vegetables to school would be looked down upon...

He has experienced all of this and knows how it feels to have no money and even dignity becomes cheap.

But now that I hear Song Tan ask this, I realize that I was the superficial one.

Song Tan doesn't think so: "Whether to spend money is everyone's life habit. The reason why I am willing to spend money is because I don't have such a high desire to spend money and I can earn it. What's more, you are rich enough."

"Besides, I'm just asking. It hasn't been spent yet. At least you continue to donate every year."

Lu Chuan's smile deepened, and his eyes were soft, as if they could shed gentle starlight. Qiao Qiao stared at the two of them blankly, and suddenly she was a little stunned.

After a while he asked, "Are you going to donate to the village? Should I donate too?"

"No need." Song Tan refused. "You are not sick or in any disaster, why donate? Besides, many people in the village bullied you when you were a child, why don't you donate?"

"Besides, your salary isn't high."

"Oh." Qiao Qiao also nodded seriously: "It's really hard for me to make money!"

As soon as he said this, Lu Chuan and Song Tan both laughed and quickly picked up another eggplant box for him: "Yes, you worked really hard! Eat more!"

Qiao Qiao also squinted her eyes happily: "Sister, this fried eggplant can also be made into a sweet and sour one, it's also delicious! I'll make it for you when I get home!"

Song Tan declined the offer: "I don't like sweet and sour dishes. When we eat beef again, you can try stewing beef with last year's dried eggplant!"

"By the way, Qiao Qiao, ask your new friends which hotel they are staying in. If it's on your way, you can go back together."

Those who can get to the zoo early in the morning probably have booked a hotel nearby.

Qiao Qiao nodded: "Okay! I'll ask now!" (End of this chapter)
