CCTV News: In Beijing, Chen Shuting brings a woman to her door.

They were also afraid that if things didn't go well, they might end up harming the entire village!

Hearing this, Zhong Xiaoai wished she could immediately raise her hand and slap herself twice across the face!

Because, Zhong Xiaoai felt that her way of looking at the problem was still too naive.

Seeing that others are doing well, one might assume that they don't want to help their fellow villagers, when in reality they do want to, but simply can't.

Some issues cannot be explained in just a few words, let alone something as complex as doing business.

Thinking about all this, Zhong Xiaoai felt quite ashamed.

In her view, others actually did it, while she was just taking it for granted.

Zhong Xiaoai is very clear about how far the distance is between thinking and doing.

After experiencing that time in Shangguan Village, Zhong Xiaoai understood even more what it meant for these impoverished people.

For someone with a background like Zhong Xiaoai, the gap between thinking and doing is much wider.

For Zhong Xiaoai, as long as her dream isn't too outrageous...

Then, his dream can become a reality.

But for the villagers of Shangguan Village, the distance between dreams and reality is vast.

Perhaps much farther than the distance between the sun and the earth!

Chapter 288 Sincerity

"Miss Zhong, Mr. Gao, my name is Li Bo, and my family is in the fruit business!"

"In the past, we tried many ways to get out of poverty and become rich, but unfortunately, our strength was too weak and our investment was too small!"

"We have also encouraged villagers to grow fruit and vegetables, which have higher economic value."

"But no matter how we try to persuade them, they just can't make up their minds!"

"Now it seems that it's not the villagers' fault, but simply because the village is too poor and the villagers really can't afford this economic loss!"

As Li Bo said this, tears welled up in his eyes.

Although he left Shangguan Village starting with his grandfather's generation.

However, their family has always maintained contact with Shangguan Village, especially during festivals and holidays.

Li Bo would bring the villagers to the city to play. Now, several children from the village are studying in Jinghai City.

Their tuition was also paid by Li Bo, precisely because Li Bo is a person who values ​​relationships.

That's why Gao Qilin brought Zhong Xiaoai to his house. In Gao Qilin's view, it was indeed a problem to get all the villagers to grow fruit.

The reason I say this is because growing fruit is inherently a technical skill.

Moreover, fruits are different from ordinary crops, and that's why.

That's because fruit trees don't just grow in the ground and automatically flower and bear fruit; you have to cultivate them.

Sometimes it may take two or three years for them to flower and bear fruit, especially if they encounter floods or pests.

If things go wrong, the planted fruit might yield no harvest at all. However, if you encounter a fruit farmer with some resources, this isn't such a big problem.

After all, fruit farmers can buy insurance, so even if they lose money, they won't lose much.

However, the villagers of Shangguan Village have to borrow money to celebrate the New Year every year and to eat at the end of each month.

They're already so poor, it's really unrealistic to expect them to pool their money and borrow to grow fruit.

“Li Bo, your suggestion is good, but I think the people of Shangguan Village really can’t afford this loss.”

"However, I will remember your suggestion. For the people of Shangguan Village, this is a way out!"

After saying goodbye to Li Bo's house, Gao Qilin took Zhong Xiaoai to the next house.

On the bus, Zhong Xiaoai asked in confusion.

"Well, if the people of Shangguan Village don't have money, can't we help them with money?"

Indeed, Zhong Xiaoai's suggestion is one possible solution.

For Gao Qilin, let alone a million, even an investment of tens of millions is just a matter of signing a document.

As long as the amount doesn't reach the level of hundreds of millions, it won't be considered a serious blow to Gao Qilin.

The problem is, if the villagers of Shangguan Village have to ask him for money every time they encounter a problem, wouldn't they then develop the habit of always asking others for help?

Thinking of all this, Gao Qilin smiled at Zhong Xiaoai.

“That’s right, Xiao Ai, I can indeed provide funds to help the people of Shangguan Village resolve this matter.”

"But what happens next? If they fail to grow the fruit, will they still expect me to cover for them?"

"If that's the case, it's such a hassle. I might as well just give them the money directly, don't you think?"

Indeed, Gao Qilin's statement is correct.

Zhong Xiaoai was momentarily speechless at Gao Qilin's question, but the problem was, if the people of Shangguan Village wanted to invest...

They have to bear the risks themselves, which is no easy task for these poor people.

"Qilin, I know you're right, but the problem is that the people of Shangguan Village aren't capable of bearing the risk alone!"

"For us, a few hundred yuan is just the cost of a meal, but for them, a few hundred yuan is several months' income!"

Zhong Xiaoai is now pleading for the villagers of Shangguan Village, but in Gao Qilin's view...

By doing this, she harmed the people of Shangguan Village. In fact, Gao Qilin was not a heartless person.

He understood that the people of Shangguan Village had a hard life, and he knew that if he didn't help them...

Then, these ordinary people will never have any hope of escaping poverty and becoming rich, but if they take care of every little detail...

No matter what happens to the people of Shangguan Village, Gao Qilin (Good Money Good) will always step in to handle it.

Then the villagers of Shangguan Village would have even less chance of escaping poverty and becoming prosperous.

The reason he said this is because, in Gao Qilin's view, if ordinary people want to escape poverty and become prosperous...

They can only find out which path to wealth is right for them by feeling their way across the river and gradually exploring the market.

But if others teach them everything in detail, things will go wrong.

Ordinary people have developed a habit of relying on others for everything. What will happen if their support collapses in the future?

The people will simply return to their previous state of poverty, and their living conditions will only worsen! (Eating)

Chapter 290 The Great Discussion

"Qilin, I just don't understand why you insist on letting these villagers try and make mistakes. You know the people of Shangguan Village are poor. If they try and make mistakes on their own, they can't afford it given their current economic conditions and capabilities!"

Zhong Xiaoai was furious at this point. She saw Gao Qilin answering questions about how to lead the people of Shangguan Village out of poverty and into prosperity.

When she saw how calm he was, Zhong Xiaoai couldn't help but criticize him.

In Zhong Xiaoai's view, the people of Shangguan Village were too poor. Every minute she and Gao Qilin delayed here meant that the villagers would have to wait an extra minute.

They're going to suffer from poverty for just one more minute, so we have to get this done as quickly as possible.

Zhong Xiaoai thought she could persuade Gao Qilin, but she didn't expect that no matter what she said...

Gao Qilin remained unmoved, even though Zhong Xiaoai was a woman who was prone to acting on her emotions.

When she saw that Gao Qilin remained unmoved, Zhong Xiaoai became furious. She stared at Gao Qilin with her fiery eyes, hoping he would give her an answer.

Seeing Zhong Xiaoai glaring at him angrily, Gao Qilin knew that if he said anything this time, it would definitely be unacceptable.

At this moment, Gao Qilin smiled slightly at Zhong Xiaoai.

"Xiao Ai, why do you think an individual or a group might become poor?"

"That's because they don't control the means of production; without resources, they'll naturally be poor!"

Gao Qilin nodded upon hearing this, agreeing with Zhong Xiaoai's assessment.

But in Gao Qilin's view, Zhong Xiaoai had only said a few correct but meaningless words to him.

This is just like saying "when you're hungry, you eat" or "when you're thirsty, you drink"—it's all useless nonsense.

Gao Qilin knew that if the people of Shangguan Village wanted to escape poverty and become prosperous...

They can't rely on this nonsense, or if ordinary people were to live on nonsense, it would definitely harm them!

Thinking of this, Gao Qilin nodded first, but then shook his head at Zhong Xiaoai.

“Xiao Ai, I admit that what you said is correct, but it is not correct for the people of Shangguan Village. What you said is just a lot of nonsense.”

“You’re absolutely right. The people of Shangguan Village do indeed lack means of production.”

"But the problem is, these means of production don't just fall from the sky; you can't just have them whenever you want."

"Yes, I can indeed provide the villagers of Shangguan Village with means of production, but what if they try to take advantage of me because of that?"

"Of course, I can also use money from the Qiangsheng Group to support them."

"I don't care whether Shangguan Village makes a profit or a loss in the future!"

"Given the current strength of Qiangsheng Group, supporting Shangguan Village would be a very easy task."

"Even if we supported ten people, Bai Shangguan Village wouldn't be unable to afford it. The question is, can you guarantee that Qiangsheng Group will always remain this strong?"
