The Self-Cultivation of a Reborn Massage Therapist

Chapter 476 Three Women in One Frame
Just as everyone was still immersed in the visual shock, Ou Xiaokui spoke again in the video call window:
"Before I give you a formal tour, I need to make an important announcement."

“Everything you see here today—” her gaze swept across the lush green park on the screen, “is replicable in a way that none of you can replicate.”

“We welcome all peers, enterprises and research institutions to visit and exchange ideas, but we firmly oppose anyone blindly copying the model here without sufficient preparation or on a whim.”

"I believe that friends who have recently traveled to Europe and America should know that our Slow Weaving Life linen products are selling very well in those places."

She leaned forward slightly, her tone becoming serious:

"Recently, there has been a view in society that the economic downturn is caused by the backwardness of the manufacturing structure, and it seems that as long as industrial upgrading is completed, the problem of overproduction can be solved."

"This is an extremely dangerous misconception!" her voice was firm and resolute. "Since the industrialization of capitalism, overcapacity has never disappeared due to technological upgrades; it will only change its form and may even intensify."

"Therefore, please allow me to emphasize the most crucial point:" Ou Xiaokui looked directly at the camera and said, word by word, "Without clear market demand and smooth sales channels as a guarantee, do not easily replicate this heavy investment and long cycle model."

Ou Xiaokui's gaze swept across the camera:
"We're making an exception and opening the park to visitors today so that everyone can see for themselves what Relaxing Slow Travel is actually doing, after all the mudslinging it's been getting lately!"

"We've never spent money on online marketing or hired any online trolls!" she said with a hint of pride. "But why is it that every time something happens, so many strangers spontaneously stand up for us? Why do so many people still genuinely call the controversial Mr. Zhao Xiaochui 'Brother Hammer'?"

At this point, Ou Xiaokui lowered her head and remained silent for a moment. When she looked up again, her eyes were exceptionally solemn:
"Please allow me to conclude today in advance—"

"In the latest edition of 'Principles of Economics,' the eighth edition, that European and American economics expert, when discussing supply and demand, still used the example of 'Chinese people producing socks'!"

"..."

One sentence completely emptied the chat room, plunging it into silence.

Ou Xiaokui took a deep breath, her voice soft yet clear, reaching every audience member:

Friends, it's already 2021.

"Many people choose to leave this land because they see no hope."

"But there are also countless people who are still silently gritting their teeth and persevering for just a small wish."

"And the desire to travel at a relaxed pace is very simple—"

"It's about getting more Chinese people to sit behind desks and type on keyboards, wearing socks made by Europeans and Americans!"

After the words were spoken, the live stream remained quiet, but the number of viewers silently surged, indicating that this was not a peaceful live stream.

Zhao Xiaochui didn't pay any attention to the commotion in the live stream, nor did he care what Ou Xiaokui was saying. He wasn't a person with many grand ideals; he simply couldn't stand the way certain people acted and liked to do the opposite of what they did.

As for how Zhou Yaqin and Ou Xiaokui interpret his intentions, that's their own business.

At this moment, he is holding his phone with great interest, strolling around like a primary school student on a spring outing, visiting the super industrial park that he invested his money to build.

At the entrance is the technologically advanced "Tree of Technology" main plaza, next to which is a lush smart forest park. Further in, there is a secluded sunken "Quiet Contemplation Water Garden", an interactive dry fountain plaza, and various science trails with plant nameplates.

He strolled leisurely, the faint voice of Ou Xiaokui explaining through a live stream coming from his phone: "...The park's greenery is not just for aesthetics, but more profoundly, it echoes the national 'Yangtze River Protection' strategy. We have preserved and restored the original water system, built waterfront boardwalks and platforms, allowing the water features and greenery to blend seamlessly, pursuing an ecological realm of 'though made by man, it seems to have been created by nature'..."

"We invest so much effort in creating this environment for one fundamental purpose only—to allow every researcher and engineer working here to focus on their creative endeavors in the most comfortable and healthiest environment."

"Only when you are in a good mood can inspiration strike; only when you are breathing fresh air can you overcome the most cutting-edge technical challenges."

This explanation finally caused a stir in the quiet live stream, and viewers were jolted out of their reverie:

"Holy crap! This isn't an industrial park, it's a 5A-level scenic spot!"

"I'm so jealous, there isn't even a decent tree downstairs in our office building..."

"So the pros are producing socks in the forest! No wonder I couldn't get the bug to work!"

"I strongly suggest our boss come and see this! It shows what 'people-oriented' really means!"

"Is it too late for me to quit my job and apply for a cleaning job? I'd even be willing to clean toilets!"

"Hey upstairs, stop dreaming. Didn't you see those cleaning and landscaping staff in the camera's view?"

"Damn it, they even spit into tissues, wrap them up, and keep them safe!"

"Look at the smiles on their faces. There's only one possibility: their wages have been paid!"

"Haha, check out the well-known supplier code of conduct of Easy Slow Travel."

"I dare say there is no temporary employment system in this park!"

"..."

Zhao Xiaochui listened half-heartedly, strolling leisurely through the forest. When the view suddenly opened up before him, he couldn't help but stop—

In the distance, rows of modern factory buildings are cleverly connected by winding sky bridges, gleaming in the sunlight.

A young woman who had been waiting at the intersection quickly stepped forward, a professional smile on her face, and introduced "Guo Fulai" as she led the way:

"Mr. Guo, the park is currently undergoing a transformation and upgrade to a zero-carbon energy system."

She pointed to the faintly visible array of dark blue photovoltaic panels on the rooftops of several buildings in the distance: "We're trying..."

"Wait a minute~" Zhao Xiaochui stopped her, "Zero carbon... is that what I mean?"

The young lady nodded in agreement.
