Although Chen Mu and Manny haven't seen each other for a long time, and they haven't had much contact with each other, they chat like old friends who have known each other for many years.
This may be because Chen Mu "knows how to chat", or it may be because Manni has a bit of a foreign girl personality. In short, more than an hour passed between the two of them chatting about something.
Talking about Chen Mu's next stop after coming to Shencheng is Wucheng, Manny couldn't help but said: "My mother is from Wucheng, and Wucheng can be regarded as half of my hometown."
"Oh, is it so."
Chen Mu asked with a smile: "Then can you speak Wucheng dialect?"
"I believe in your evil!"
Manny came as soon as she opened her mouth, and it sounded like that.
"sharp!"
After the two joked, Chen Mu asked casually: "Why don't you come to the mainland to work? The environment in China is very good now. Isn't there more potential for development than in Hong Kong Island? And your Xia dialect can also speak quickly. improve."
Manny said: "I also worked in the Daxia region before, but...well, I was a little uncomfortable, so I went to the Asia-Pacific region of Hong Kong Island."
"Not used, why?"
Chen Mu was a little curious. He felt that with Manny's personality, she should be able to adapt to the domestic rhythm.
Manny thought for a while before saying: "I have worked in several places before, and I often hear some remarks similar to asking me to get out of Xiaguo. This makes me feel very bad."
"Um?"
Chen Mu was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect Manny to say that.
"It may be because my arrival has hindered the path of some people's upward promotion, so they will be hostile to me... But I really often hear or see this kind of words or words that reject me.
In fact, to be honest, Xia Guo has been very anti-foreign in the past two years. Even when my mother returned to China, she heard a lot of words telling her not to come back since she left the country.
You must know that when my mother was in the United States, she was always proud that she was born in Xiaguo. "
Manny's way of expression is relatively straightforward, she can say what she has, and she won't hide it.
Chen Mu thought for a while and asked, "Have you heard of the stratospheric effect?"
"I know."
Manny nodded: "Echo-Chamber was proposed by psychologist Keith Sunstein. Only in a relatively closed environment, some voices with similar opinions are repeated, and repeated in exaggerated or other distorted ways, making people Most people in a relatively closed environment think these twisted stories are the whole truth."
Chen Mu said: "In this world, there are many people who gain benefits by exaggerating and distorting facts, just to gain attention, so some distorted things are constantly fermenting, creating a stratosphere effect in society, but if you spend time Stretch, this will pass."
Now is the era of big data, the data will be selected for the user, so that the user can see what he "want" to see, but not what he "doesn't want to see".
It is precisely because users are limited by big data that they can only see the same type of things.
And these things are distorting the concept of users, creating confrontation and hatred.
The great America, deeply torn internally, originated from this.
At the same time, Europe and the United States wantonly smear the Northwest, and continue to fabricate exaggerated and distorted stories to smear the national cotton. Although it seems to be full of lies, because of the stratosphere effect, these lies are becoming "easy to accept" within them.
As for the xenophobia, it is also the result of a stratospheric effect.
Chen Mu didn't want to talk about this topic, so he quickly put it aside, and instead sincerely invited Manny to visit Jiangqi Province if she had time.
Manny agreed immediately. She likes to travel and the outdoors. A woman who can conquer Mount Everest and K2 in succession is enough to show how extroverted she is.
The two chatted for a while, and finally broke up. Manny had to rush back to Hong Kong Island, and it was said that she had to go to work tomorrow.
After meeting Manni, the matter in Shencheng ended quickly, and Chen Mu and his group went to Wucheng again.
They didn't have any problems with choosing a location in Wucheng. Basically, after going over to check it out, they could sign a contract.
The next stop is Zhongcheng.
The last is the capital.
After walking through five cities in a row, the five-city projects have all been finalized and can be fully started.
After returning to the gas station, Chen Mu felt that he was busy all of a sudden.
No way, building five greenhouse projects suddenly outside is equivalent to splitting five parts from the company's parent body, which requires a lot of manpower deployment, which is not an easy task for Muya Forestry.
However, everything has a beginning. After experiencing this first "split", it should be much easier when there are second and third batches of greenhouse projects to be carried out in the future.
…
The endless sea of sand.
Agudamu planted the last tree in his hand, and then slowly stood up straight.
Bending for too long, even a strong man like him couldn't stand it, so he couldn't help but thumped the position of the back and waist eyes with his hands.
Glancing at the row of saplings he had newly planted, Agudam couldn't help but look up at the sky again, looking further into the sand sea.
"Don't come in a sandstorm..."
Although he knew the survival rate of the saplings in his mind, every time he planted the tree, he still couldn't help but babble, as if he was praying to the Longevity, and also as if he was encouraging himself.
After all, planting trees is a job that depends on the sky. If the sky doesn't reward the face, there will be nothing to eat.
After the saplings are planted, they will be in a weak period for at least three hours. If there is a sandstorm during these three hours, the previous ones will be in vain.
After these three hours, even if the saplings survived in the sea of sand, they only need to water them every few days, and they can survive on their own, and the tree is considered a successful planting.
Of course, Agudam has always felt that God is not a favor, otherwise why couldn't he plant a tree before? Make the whole family so poor that they can hardly survive
Ever since I got to know Mr. Chen, and with his support, I can really live my life.
So, the most important thing is Mr. Chen's saplings, which are simply wonderful.
Agudam is a conscientious person, whoever treats him well will be remembered in his heart for a lifetime.
He felt that he was really lucky. If he hadn't met Mr. Chen and talked to Mr. Chen for a while, he would not have the life he is today at all.
Looking back, he could not help but feel that his heart was full of energy when there were touches of dusty gray and green in the forest land he had contracted.
Do you want to plant ten more
Agudam told himself that as long as he could plant trees and manage the desert well, even if he was allowed to keep working like this until he died, he would not cry out that he was tired.
Just as he was thinking about going back to pick up saplings and plant some more, his wife's voice came from a distance: "Why are you still dawdling here? If you don't leave, you will be late."
Agudam stopped his hands, watched his wife approaching, and said a little embarrassedly: "Let's go after a while."
"What are you doing, hurry up!"
The wife started rambling: "Today is the provincial benevolence university meeting, why don't you hurry back and take a shower and change into clean clothes, don't you want to just go there with your dirty clothes?"
Agudamu laughed and said, "I'm a farmer who works in the field, so what's a little soil?"
The wife said angrily: "Have you forgotten what Leader Qin said? You are now the representative of the Renda University in the province, and you represent all the peasant brothers in Beichaokou. Personal image is very important, and you should pay attention to it." .”
After a slight pause, the wife said again: "Although we are not decent people, we must not be sloppy. This is not good. It will make people think that we do not respect the meeting."
When Agudam heard this, he felt that it made sense, and nodded: "Okay, then I'll go now, go back and change clothes before going."
"Go and go!"
The wife patted the dirt on her husband, and finally nodded in satisfaction.
