After finishing the annual meeting, Zhao Yi, Zhou Jinjue and Zhou Jinyu went to buy new year's goods and gifts to take home. As a result, I walked around and found that there was actually nothing to buy. These days, most of the time I go here to eat and drink, and there are relatively few industrial products consumed.
In the end, the three of them could only hold a TV and the clothes that Zhou Jinyu helped buy for Zhou Zhigang and his wife. The two older men didn't know how to pick out clothes, so this task was left to Zhou Jinyu, who was just a bag carrier.
After getting ready, the three of them took the train home on the day before the Little New Year. The green leather car clanked and crawled leisurely and slowly on the railway track. This makes Zhao Yi very uncomfortable, but there is nothing he can do. The country's development has not reached that level yet, so it can only be done step by step.
After traveling all night and all morning, the train finally arrived at Jiujiang Railway Station. I got off the bus. Since there were no taxis, I had to take a bus to the bus station, then take a bus to Xiaoyang County, and then take a bus in the county to Gaoqiao. Town, the road home can be said to be extremely twists and turns. This is not bad. I heard that some people who came from other places to work in their hometown in Sichuan had to spend a whole day walking on mountain roads to celebrate the New Year.
If you want to get rich, you must first build a road. This is a wise saying. If a person cannot get out of the mountains, he will not be able to increase his knowledge and broaden his horizons, and he will not be able to find a way to get rich and a personal way out. If the product cannot get out of the mountains, the quality will be poor. Even if it is good, it has no market and can only rot in the ground.
The Beijing-Shanghai Expressway that Zhao Yi cooperated with the government is a good start, but the construction of this expressway will have to wait until at least the end of the year. If his ranch can have as much output value as he expected in 2083, then Zhao Yi will have enough money to cooperate with the government to build infrastructure.
Money is not something that Zhao Yi really values much now. Although he has so much money, Zhao Yi still lives almost the same life as ordinary people. The only luxury item is Prince Gong’s Mansion, which was bought by a wealthy slut. , what are the other differences
When the car arrived in town, they got off the car, and the three of them each carried large and small bags and rushed towards the door of their house. Since they had called when they arrived, Zhou Zhigang and his wife knew the approximate time they would arrive home. So when the three of them arrived at the door of the house, the delicious smell of food wafted out from inside, making Zhao Yi a little greedy.
The bacon in the south is not so delicious in the north, let alone the sausages in various flavors. After knocking on the door a few times, Zhou Zhigang opened the door and saw three beggars. He knew how much they had suffered along the way. He quickly took the luggage from Zhou Jinyu and led the three of them into the yard.
After putting away the luggage, Zhou Jinyu went to the kitchen for a walk, then fetched hot water and went to take a shower. However, Zhao Yi and Zhou Jinjue could only wait for Zhou Jinyu to finish washing before they started taking a shower.
Zhao Yi and Zhou Jinjue each went back to their rooms to pack their luggage. It was the same room that Zhao Yi originally lived in. Zhou Zhigang and his wife still kept this room.
Except for some extra furniture, everything else is the same as when I left two years ago. The room has obviously been cleaned and there is no dust.
I first took out my toiletries and put them in order, and then put some clothes in the closet. Apart from these, there seemed to be nothing else.
I finished cleaning up quickly and lay down on my original bed, staring at the ceiling in a daze. Zhao Yi always feels that he is a passerby in this world, a bit out of tune with this era. Only here can he feel the warmth of home.
After all three people took a shower, the sky had dimmed, and stars were hanging on the edge. Zhao Yi and the others sat around the original Eight Immortals table and ate dinner happily as a family. Since the three of them had just come back and it was the New Year, they prepared a lot of dishes with cured fish and bacon. The three of them had their mouths full of oil and a cheerful atmosphere filled the air.
In the next few days, everyone stayed at home and played mahjong or chess, while Wang Huilan and Zhou Jinyu were more interested in watching TV.
In fact, there were very few TV programs at this time, just a few channels. Domestic TVs have not yet been launched on the stars. They are all built-in TV stations, and the broadcast time is not 24/7, but it is not without its good points. That means there are no ads.
After New Year's Eve, Zhou Zhigang's family went to visit relatives, but Zhao Yi did not go with him. Instead, he just walked around the town. During this period, he took the time to bring some gifts to Dr. Luo, which made him very happy. Zhao Yi finished reading the book in two years. The graduate student said it was incredible and asked him about his current work situation. Zhao Yi could only say that he was doing some small business, which made Dr. Luo think he was self-employed and said it was a pity.
In this way, he lived a life of eating and waiting to die. Finally, on the seventh day of the lunar month, Zhao Yi decided to go to NC City to visit the mayor, talk about establishing a university in NC City, and purchase the land by the way.
When Zhou Jinjue and Zhou Jinyu heard that Zhao Yi was going to Nanchang, they wanted to follow him for a visit, but Zhou Zhigang refused to let them follow because Zhao Yi was going to do business. And Zhao Yi himself probably didn't have much time to accompany them, and the public security was not very good now. He let them wander around on the street. He was afraid that something would happen to them, so he didn't insist on letting them follow him.
When he arrived in Nanchang, he went straight to the city government. However, due to his limited reputation here, he was stopped in the reception room. He refused to let him go to see the mayor. Zhao Yi had no choice but to ask them to call the Minister of Education. The receptionist finally knew that this person was really there for business.
By the time he sat in the mayor's office, two hours had passed. Zhao Yi didn't want to play Tai Chi with the mayor, so he directly explained his intention and made a request to purchase the land.
Since the approval to establish the university has not yet been approved, these are just intentions. The land should be circled first so that the government here can make plans in advance. Once the approval is approved, the agreement will be signed immediately and the demolition work will begin.
Then I went to the provincial government again. I came here just to get acquainted. After all, I will be under their rule from now on, so it is definitely right to build a good relationship. When the provincial government heard about Zhao Yi's plan and the scale of the investment, they expressed their full support and said that they would also open up relations with the Ministry of Education so that the construction of the university could start as soon as possible.
Just kidding, the local government at this time has never seen 10 billion US dollars. This is already an astronomical figure. It would be strange not to support it. Not to mention the money for selling land, just for the construction of the school, we have to find workers and building materials from here. You have to buy it here. It’s all money, and it will also be consumed by the teachers and students of the school in the future. This is a long-term business. What’s more important is that you don’t have to spend a penny to run this university.
At this time, they had not yet realized the importance of arranging related industries around the school, but the benefits that could be seen now were enough for them to work hard to promote this matter.
After handling the matters here, Zhao Yi returned to Zhou Zhigang's house, preparing to return to Beijing with Zhou Jinjue and Zhou Jinyu.
It was a long road again, and after a lot of twists and turns, the three of them finally returned home to Kyoto. A trip is a war. (End of chapter)
