Chapter 395: Fantastic Idea
The village chief came back after the meal was ready. He was a middle-aged man with a weathered face.
His skin was very dark, or to be more precise, all the skin that was exposed was dark. This was the result of the ultraviolet rays from the subtropical zone, and almost everyone here was like this.
He was also very thin, although there were not many fat people at that time. Although he was thin, he was very strong.
The village is by the sea and there is not much land for farming. Although people can fish and go fishing, these things cannot be sold at a high price, so there are not many wealthy people here.
This is just what is on the surface. This place is very close to the port city, and many people choose to smuggle through here. Those people are not short of money. There are also people here who do this kind of business, so naturally they are not poor.
Those ten years just passed, and now few people dare to show off their wealth.
"Hello, village chief. My name is Qin Wangshu and I'm from Beijing." Qin Wangshu stood up to greet the village chief who had returned from outside.
"Jing City? Then what are you doing in this poor place like ours?" The village chief looked at Qin Wangshu in confusion.
He suspected that the girl in front of him was also one of those who wanted to sneak into Hong Kong, but most people who wanted to sneak across would ask around secretly. This was the first time he had seen someone find his home so openly.
If such a reckless person really wanted to smuggle into Hong Kong, he couldn't agree to her request. Not only could he not agree to her request, he also had to remind others not to agree to her request easily.
It is not a good thing to bring people across the border illegally, and it cannot be done so openly.
"I'm from the Department of Chemistry at Peking University. I set up a workshop and produced some things. The results are pretty good, so I want to build a factory here and sell the products to the other side." Qin Wangshu did not keep anyone in suspense and directly stated his purpose.
"You are such a proud girl, you have such a big mouth!" The village chief was shocked by Qin Wangshu's words.
In the eyes of the village chief, the other side is extremely advanced and prosperous. Separated by a sea, there are tall buildings over there, while here are shabby and low huts. They have been looking at this gap for a long time, and they have a yearning and expectation for that side in their hearts.
It was just that it was hard to leave their homeland, and with the strict control on both sides, they didn't have the courage to go. Some brave and unburdened people had already gone, but they never heard from them again, which made them even more afraid to take the risk.
Now when he heard her say that she wanted to sell the things to the other side, the village chief thought she was daydreaming.
"There's nothing over there, so why would they want to buy your stuff!"
"The bolder the people, the more productive the land. Besides, it's just a city after all, with so many people, and there are many things missing!" Qin Wangshu remembered that the prices there had always been high, especially some agricultural and sideline products.
She has many fruit trees in her space. After she opens up the trade route, she plans to sell a few batches of high-quality fruits and vegetables there. The money she earns will be enough to build a factory.
Moreover, she can also cooperate with the large shopping malls there. With this cooperation, it will be much easier for her products to enter the shopping malls.
After opening up the channel, Qin Wangshu believed that his products would sell well.
"You are such a simple-minded kid." The village chief shook his head. The people over there have seen everything, so how could they appreciate the things here?
"It's time for dinner. The food is on the table. Stop chatting." The voice of the mother-in-law came from the room.
"I'm coming. Mom, please sit down first." After shouting to the house, the village chief looked at Qin Wangshu, "Eat first, and we'll talk after dinner."
Building a factory is a good thing, but the girl in front of him is taking too big a step. He doesn't think her factory can last long.
"Okay." Qin Wangshu nodded.
The lunch was mixed grain rice. There was not much rice in it, most of it was sweet potatoes. Qin Wangshu's bowl had more rice than the others.
At noon, there were two tables for lunch, one for men and one for women and children. Most of the dishes on the table were from the sea, which was quite rich for Qin Wangshu, an inland person.
Sitting next to Qin Wangshu were the eldest daughter-in-law and daughter of the village chief. The daughter-in-law was a relatively introverted person. She just greeted Qin Wangshu when he just sat down, and then began to take care of the children around her.
The village chief's daughter had no scruples. She chattered about Qin Wangshu's situation. After learning that Qin Wangshu was from Jing City, her interest grew even stronger.
"Is Beijing particularly prosperous, like the other side of the strait?"
"Not really. That's a new city. Everything there is new, so it naturally looks more prosperous. But Beijing is a city with history. Some historical buildings need to be preserved. Naturally, it doesn't look prosperous as the skyscrapers there. But the heritage of Beijing cannot be compared to the other side." Qin Wangshu explained to her.
While Qin Wangshu was speaking, everyone else in the village chief's family put down their chopsticks. They were actually curious about Jing City as well, but they didn't dare to come over and ask. Now that the little sister asked, they might as well listen.
"Aren't there so many tall buildings in Beijing?" The village chief's daughter was a little disappointed.
"They will be there in the future. Those tall buildings are not rare things. You will have them here in a few years." After Qin Wangshu said this, he saw the distrust on the girl's face, and the same was true for others.
"Don't you believe it?"
"High-rise buildings are so nice, how can you say they are not rare things?" The girl said unhappily. She was the youngest daughter of the village chief and was very favored, so she spoke more directly.
The village chief at the next table heard her words and cast a disapproving look at her. The girl immediately lowered her head and shut up.
"High-rise buildings are nothing but made of steel bars and concrete. Anyone can build them as long as they have money. And the reason why the buildings over there are so high is simply because there is no room. If there is no room on the ground, one can only look up in the sky. The really rich people over there don't live in buildings like that." Rich people naturally live in villas halfway up the mountain, which have large spaces and good environments.
"Have you been there?" The village chief's eldest daughter-in-law asked in disbelief after hearing her talk like this.
"No, but I can imagine it." In fact, she had been there. During the summer vacation of her sophomore year, she and her friends applied for Hong Kong and Macau Passes to visit there.
To be honest, apart from the convenience of buying some luxury goods, it's just that. The salary there is very high, but the prices are even higher, so "poor" students like them can only go shopping.
"So you haven't been there!" the village chief's little daughter muttered softly.
"I am very confident in my country. We will develop quickly and build tall buildings like these." Qin Wangshu said this with unconcealable pride in his tone.
In later generations, China was called the "infrastructure maniac". A high-rise building like that could be built in just ten days or half a month. What's so strange about it?
