Xiang Yang was stunned for a moment, then cleverly changed the subject and said, "Are you guys praising me or scolding me? Am I as dumb as you say?"
"I'm not kidding you." Shen Huan said while peeling shrimp shells, "Not to mention our class, you should be the one who went the furthest in our class."
Li Xiaole said, "Don't even mention our class. Liancheng County No. 1 Middle School was founded 40 years ago. To be honest, the highest donation during the last school anniversary was only 100,000. That doesn't mean that all promising schools donated, nor does it mean that those that didn't donate are not doing well. But there shouldn't be many schools that can come up with 2 million at once."
"Not just a few, but very few."
Xiang Yang shook his head and interrupted everyone, saying, "I was just lucky and took a step ahead of others. We are all young now, and it is too early to talk about who is doing better than who."
"I'm actually a fisherman. I have a big boat. If I'm lucky, I can bring back millions of dollars in one trip. But fishing is getting harder and harder now. There are basically no fish in the near sea, and a trip out to the open sea costs hundreds of thousands. If I can't catch any fish twice in a row, I'm done. Let me tell you about you. Shen Huan is now a lawyer, Li Xiaole is a clerk in a watch shop, and what are the others doing?"
Xie Jin smiled and said, "Xiao Le, I will also stay in Liancheng from now on, how about I cooperate with you?"
"Ah?" Everyone looked at Xie Jin.
"Are you going back to your hometown to develop?" Xiang Yang asked.
"Yeah." Xie Jin nodded and said, "After graduation, I have been working at CRRC Corporation. As you know, CRRC Corporation is a public institution. What it lacks the most is capable people. For someone like me who has no ability and no connections, I am afraid that I will only be a small clerk after decades. Thanks to my career, I have been to many places in the past two years and learned about the local customs and practices of many places. I think I have accumulated enough experience and it is time to step out of my comfort zone and pursue a career I like. Just last month, I resigned and prepared to take out a loan to start a travel company in Liancheng."
"Starting a travel company in Liancheng?" Xiang Yang raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "That's a good idea. Liancheng's consumption level is not high, but the overall salary level is still relatively high. Everyone has some spare money, which is very suitable for developing tourism."
"Maybe we'll have a chance to work together again in the future."
Shen Huan asked curiously, "Aren't you doing deep-sea fishing? They are doing tourism, how do you cooperate with them?"
Xiang Yang shrugged his shoulders. "I'm from Qinglongwan. Qinglongwan's geographical location is actually unique and very suitable for tourism development. The reason why it has not been developed in the past is mainly because everyone is too poor and the transportation is not very convenient. Now Qinglongwan has been planned as a tourism development zone by Longcheng and is being vigorously developed. I am a local of Qinglongwan, so naturally I can't get away."
"Then I have to ask you, Boss Xiang, to take care of it in advance. Come, I'll toast you alone." Xie Jin raised his glass and said.
"Let's work together." Xiang Yang clinked glasses with her and then drank it all in one gulp.
It was almost afternoon when we finished the meal.
In fact, no one ate anything, they just chatted.
It’s easy to imagine that seafood is so expensive nowadays. With so many people buying seafood worth hundreds of dollars, what can they eat
"How about we just do this for noon and meet again at the hotel in the evening." Li Xiaole said.
Xiang Yang asked curiously, "Do you have something to do?"
"I want to go to the store to take a look. There's nothing to do. The main thing is that I have finished the food and I will get drunk if I drink any more wine." Li Xiaole said.
Xiang Yang nodded, "Okay, then we'll meet again at the hotel tonight. I've already ordered dinner, and we'll invite all the classmates who came up to join us."
"Xiang Yang, are you going back to the hotel now?" Shen Huan asked.
"I won't go back to the hotel. It's so boring to stay in the hotel in broad daylight." Xiang Yang shook his head, then looked at Li Xiaole and said with a smile: "How about I go to the store with you to take a look? Anyway, I have nothing to do now."
"Okay." Li Xiaole chuckled and said, "Then you have to take care of my business."
Xiang Yang was immediately amused, "It's not your store, how can I take care of your business?"
Li Xiaole stopped talking and just looked at Xiang Yang eagerly.
Xiang Yang pretended not to see it.
In fact, Xiang Yang also knew that Li Xiaole received commission, but Xiang Yang was really not very interested in watches.
In other words, Xiang Yang is reluctant to buy the watch he likes now, and he is really not interested in those that he can buy without blinking an eye.
When Xiang Yang arrived at the store where Li Xiaole worked, he took a quick look around. As expected, it was a good thing that he did not agree to Li Xiaole's offer. There were no watches in the store that Xiang Yang liked, let alone any that he recognized.
After walking around the store where Li Xiaole worked, Xiang Yang went out alone. He didn't come to the county town often, but since it was a rare trip and he had nothing to do, he had to have some fun.
As a result, Xiang Yang had only walked a few steps on the street when he met an acquaintance.
Xiang Yang stared at the two figures chatting outside the milk tea shop in front of him and walked over quickly.
"Fatty Zuo, Xiaohui?" Xiang Yang shouted.
"Ah, Brother Yang, why are you in Liancheng too?" Fatty Zuo and Xiang Hui were both startled when they saw Xiang Yang suddenly appear.
"Why can't I come? What are you doing in Liancheng?" Xiang Yang asked unhappily.
Then Xiang Yang turned his head and looked around. "Two of the Qinglongwan Iron Triangle have arrived. Where is Fang Youqun? Where is he hiding?"
Xiang Hui saw that Xiang Yang had misunderstood, and hurriedly said, "Fang Youqun didn't come, so Fatty Zuo and I are the only ones here. We are here to do serious business."
"Oh?" Xiang Yang said with a half-smile, "So what you two call business is drinking milk tea here?"
"We just arrived in Liancheng and I'm a little thirsty, so let's have a cup of milk tea first. Brother Yang, do you want to drink something too?" Xiang Hui asked.
Xiang Yang nodded, "Please bring me a cup of double skin milk."
It takes some time to make the double skin milk, so Xiang Hui asked, "Brother Yang, do you know the Liandong Reservoir?"
Xiang Yang nodded. Of course he knew about the Liandong Reservoir. It was the largest reservoir in Liancheng. It was said that it was dug manually. In order to dig the Liandong Reservoir, thousands of workers and hundreds of excavators were mobilized.
"I've heard of it, but I've never been there. Why are you asking about the Liandong Reservoir?"
Liancheng is close to the sea on the west, but the terrain on the west is high. Once there is heavy rain, rainwater will accumulate on the east side, which can easily cause floods.
In addition, Liancheng has few fresh water resources.
Therefore, Liancheng dug the Liandong Reservoir in the early years.
But twenty or thirty years ago, the Liandong Reservoir was contracted out to a private individual and is now the largest freshwater aquaculture base in the entire Longcheng.
