Back to 90s small fishing village

The next day after returning home, Xu Caimei and Xu Pingli were in the office sorting out various materials needed to receive Boss Wang tomorrow.

Xu Caimei paid special attention to Boss Wang's first visit. After all, she was not here to reminisce, but to check the operation of the investment project. Wouldn't it be disappointing if she couldn't even report the data clearly?

Fortunately, she and Xu Pingli are both people who pay attention to details. They usually keep detailed records of all matters and bills of the farm. The only thing that made Xu Pingli a little embarrassed was the loss of fry caused by Xu Pingcai.

"Boss Wang's investment is in Nanzhu. This fry is a sideline business that we invested our own money. It's enough to mention it, and there is no need to go into too much detail," Xu Caimei suggested, "Also, Xu Pingchang poisoned Since there is no damage to the clam seedlings, let’s not mention it – reporting everything in detail will only make people think that we are making a fuss and our vision is too narrow.”

Xu Pingli nodded, "You are right, I have learned a lesson."

"This is what Boss Wang taught me. People who do big things should not pay too much attention to details and should take a long-term view."

Perhaps because it was the first time that the farm was inspected by an investor, the two of them were a little nervous. They simulated the possible questions and answers several times before they relaxed and went home.

The next day, at around ten o'clock in the morning, Boss Wang's car stopped at the entrance of Xucun.

Also coming with Boss Wang was Yao Zhihua.

As soon as he saw Xu Caimei, Boss Wang greeted her warmly.

"Oh, Caimei, I haven't seen you for a while, and you look much better. It seems that you are doing quite well in the breeding farm, right?"

"The farm is running pretty well now. In the final analysis, it is thanks to your investment that the farm can start smoothly. We are all very grateful to you."

Xu Pingli handed the paper information to Boss Wang in due time and said, "This is a detailed report of the breeding farm. Please take a look."

"You are Caimei's partner Ping Li, right? You are quite smart at first glance. Caimei, you not only have a business acumen, but you are also very discerning about people."

Because he had greeted them in advance, Boss Wang didn't ask much about Xu Pingcai and Xu Ping'an.

After exchanging pleasantries, the two led the visitors straight to the breeding farm.

"Very good, very good." After looking around the farm, Boss Wang nodded repeatedly, "It's well taken care of, which is quite reassuring. What do you think, Zhihua?"

Yao Zhihua, who had been silent for the whole time, finally spoke, "It seems that your previous worries were unnecessary. Caimei and the others will never encounter something like our village here."

Xu Caimei and Xu Pingli looked at each other. Yao Zhihua noticed their doubts and explained -

“Perhaps you have also heard that something happened at the breeding farm in our village, but the details may not be clear.

"At that time, our village opened a breeding farm, which was a joint investment by the whole village. However, because of the large number of people, everyone had their own opinions on the specific operation of the breeding farm. They all wanted to sit in the office or cultivate clam seedlings based on their own experience. Listen to the experts.

“As a result, the mortality rate of clam seedlings remained high. Some people even caught immature clam seedlings privately and sold them secretly. Some people wanted to divest from the farm because the farm could not recover its capital quickly. In the end, it almost collapsed.

Fortunately, the village chief had some friendship with Boss Wang. He happened to need a stable supply of goods, so he paid for the shares of the villagers who wanted to divest their capital, helping to stabilize the situation. "Now it seems that nothing like this has happened to you. The next batch of clam seedlings in the pond look healthy, so Zhihua and I can feel relieved." "Boss Wang said.

The four returned to the office, and Xu Caimei took the opportunity to raise her own questions.

"I saw it in a shopping mall in the city. It seems that the boundary between southern pearls and natural pearls is not so clear yet. I wonder what you think, Boss Wang?"

"Don't worry about this. I'm a serious businessman after all. There's no good in doing that kind of cheating and kidnapping. I won't do such a thing." After all, Boss Wang is also an old businessman, and Xu Caimei understood it as soon as she heard it. "However, the phenomenon you mentioned is not unheard of. As a middleman, I can only do so much. I can only say that I have a clear conscience. If such a dispute arises in the future, I will do my best to help." Yours, after all we are all 'grasshoppers on a rope'."

It was almost lunch time. Yao Zhihua looked at the watch on his wrist and said to them: "It's rare for Boss Wang to come here, why don't you drop by my place and sit down? It's almost noon. I knew you were coming. I'm in the market." We’ve made a reservation, let’s go have a meal together, right?”

"Okay, it's true that I haven't been to your village for a while to check on the situation. How about we leave? Do you want to go together?"

Xu Caimei and Xu Pingli also knew that Yao Zhihua intervened because it was difficult for them to start a business. In order to help them, they offered to treat Boss Wang to dinner.

In this case, it was better to be a favor and give him a chance to be alone with the investor, so the two of them politely declined the dinner invitation and sent them to the entrance of the village.

The two were about to return to the breeding farm, but they happened to meet Xu Jinfu walking towards them.

"dad."

"Uncle Jin Fu."

Xu Jinfu nodded and smoked his pipe leisurely. After a while, he slowly said: "Your uncle called and asked if our two villages would like to travel together during the Chinese New Year this year."

"It's a good thing," Xu Pingli said, "It's rare for two villages to come together. This year we have to do something big. Who will be the leader? Have you and your uncle decided?"

"It's been so long. It's troublesome to look up the records from that year. Our village is ours. If others want to be in the village, that's fine. The one in Yao Village can decide for themselves." Xu Jinfu said, "But if that's the case, you have to call your brother back."

"Okay, I'll go to the town to look for him soon. I know where he is." Xu Pingli responded with a smile, and then looked at Xu Caimei, "Caimei, do you want to tell Ping An about this? When will he come back? ?”

"24, he told me last time in the city." Xu Caimei said, "If you want to go to town, just go directly. I will go back and pack up the things at the farm."

"The 24th of the twelfth lunar month? It's too late. Needless to say - I'll leave the breeding farm matters to you. Thank you Caimei for your hard work." Xu Pingli said goodbye to Xu Caimei and ran away quickly.

"Hey." Xu Jinfu smoked a cigarette and shook his head.

"It's such a good thing that the past feud has been settled, why are you still sighing?" Xu Caimei asked with a smile, "Let's go, it's cold, and it's not possible to blow in the wind at the entrance of the village. I'll walk with you for a while, and you should go back as soon as possible."

Xu Jinfu didn't say anything, just held the pipe in his mouth and followed Xu Caimei back. (End of chapter)
