Chapter 44 Laughing happily
"What kind of car is the Cayenne?"
Kang Youxin knows Toyota, Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz and BMW.
But I've never heard of Cayenne, and there is no Porsche in Beian.
The economic development level of small counties is too backward, and the wealth of rich people has an upper limit.
A car that costs more than two million is the ceiling.
The best cars are just 570, X5, LS500 and so on.
Jiang Ning said: "Porsche."
Jiang Youxin asked, "How much is the car?"
Jiang Ning smiled happily: "About two million!"
Jiang Youxin opened his mouth, but no words came out.
Jiang Ning said, "Dad, you said you should buy it for Feng Yu."
Jiang Youxin glared at him unhappily: "I don't have that much money."
Jiang Ning lowered the standard and said, "Then let's go with the G-Class!"
Kang Yoo Shin asked, "What is a big chicken?"
Jiang Ning said: "Mercedes-Benz G Series."
Jiang Youxin's eyelids twitched: "How much?"
Jiang Ning said, "The cheaper ones are over one million."
Jiang Youxin: “…”
This bastard is clearly making fun of himself!
Jiang Ning smiled happily.
Jiang Youxin said: "I will give you 300,000, no more."
Jiang Ning said, "Come on, I'll accept the gift on behalf of Feng Yu, but forget about the money. You can keep your money for my mom's retirement, and don't be reluctant to spend it. Didn't I give you some money? Tingting will run away, and my sister-in-law can take care of her alone. When the vegetables are harvested in winter and there's nothing to do, you and my mom can go traveling, and enjoy life while you're still young."
Kang Yoo Shin said, "What's the point of traveling? I can't even find a toilet when I go out."
Jiang Ning said: "If you can't find it, my mom can. My mom is better than you. If you go out more often, you will know everything."
Jiang Youxin nodded: "Let's talk about it after we finish harvesting the vegetables."
Jiang Ning didn't say much, just took a look and left.
Go watch a bunch of old guys play chess.
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and people in Bei'an are going crazy from the heat.
The weather has been a bit abnormal in the past two years.
Normally Bei'an is not that hot. In previous years, the summer temperature was only about 32 degrees at most, and it was over without even feeling the heat. But in the past two years, the weather has been weird. It was very hot last year, and it is even hotter this year. In mid-May, the temperature was over 30 degrees every day.
It soared to 38 degrees a few days ago.
The people of Bei'an, who have never experienced such heat before, are indeed beginning to doubt their lives.
If young people can afford the electricity bill, they can also use air conditioning.
Most elderly people don’t like air conditioning, so Lao Yang brought a group of old men to the farm to escape the summer heat.
We cleared an area in Forest Area No. 8 for leisure and relaxation.
When Jiang Ning arrived, there were a dozen old men, some playing chess and some playing poker.
There are also people playing the erhu, looking lazy and relaxed.
The weeds in the woods have been cut, leaving only the lawn.
We set up a few tents and laid out some moisture-proof mats.
There are some small stools and tables, but not much food or drink.
The old men knew Jiang Ning and greeted him with a smile when they saw him.
Jiang Ning was no stranger to these old cadres, all of whom were semi-retired elderly people in their fifties or almost sixties, such as the chairman of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, the chairman of the Writers Association, school inspectors, and the like. They had nothing serious to do, so they just wandered around everywhere.
I didn't know when I was in office.
Anyway, everyone is very happy now.
No airs either.
Just an ordinary old man.
But if you just ask, you will find out that a certain student might have been the principal of No. 1 Middle School last year.
A certain supervisor was the director of a certain bureau last year.
Old man Yang used to be in charge of the mouthpiece department. This department was quite special as it had to deal with various units and knew a lot of people. He would organize activities with a group of old guys every now and then. I don't know if he was afraid of being alone.
Chairman Song of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles is a skinny and simple old man. He doesn't look like a leader at all. It is not wrong to say that he is a farmer. According to Lao Yang, this old man has been clean all his life and has never taken a single penny from the masses.
But this old man is better than Lao Yang. He can drive and his driving skills are quite good.
I have a manual transmission Jetta, and I often take my wife on a road trip when I have nothing to do.
Although he is thin, his physical fitness and health are better than Lao Yang.
Old Man Song was writing calligraphy on a small table. When he saw Jiang Ning coming over, he put down his brush and said with a smile, "Boss Jiang's farm is well built. It feels like spring when you go into the woods. It's so comfortable. But the conditions are really a bit poor. I think you can learn from those who run farmhouses and improve the infrastructure. It would be nice to do some tourism and catering!"
Jiang Ning said casually, "Old man, please don't give me random instructions. I have such a big farm. If I try to imitate others and run a farm stay, that would be putting the cart before the horse! If we really let people in, it would be troublesome to prevent thieves, among other things."
Old Man Song thought about it and nodded. “This problem is really hard to solve. It’s a pity that such a good place would be a waste if we don’t build a leisure resort!”
Jiang Ning smiled and said, "Of course you can do it. You can contact more elderly people and pool some money to build a leisure resort or a nursing home. You can come here to relax when you have nothing to do. I won't charge you for the land."
Old Man Song was also happy when he heard it: "You are indeed a businessman. You are so good at calculating. Let us pay for you to build a farm. If the people in the park's investment promotion office were as capable as you, they wouldn't have to worry about attracting investment every year!"
Jiang Ning said: "This is a win-win situation!"
Old Man Song said: "It's a good idea, but the problem is that we don't have money. We have to buy milk powder for our grandson with our pension, and we have to pay for food and insurance for our car. How can we afford to build a nursing home?"
Jiang Ning chuckled twice but didn't expose it.
These old guys are the ones living the most carefree lives nowadays.
I have savings and no debt, and my salary is too high to spend.
Unlike young people, they have elderly parents and young children to support, work hard and have low wages, and have mortgage + car loans. They have to pay monthly, but they don’t make ends meet. They borrow high-interest loans, can’t pay back their wives, and have to sleep with others. They live worse than dogs. I was talking nonsense with old man Song for a while, and heard two old men next to me talking about the car accident.
Jiang Ning pricked up his ears and listened to some gossip.
Old Man Zhang said, "I heard that Wang Chengtai has gone crazy and wants someone to pay with his life."
Old man Zhang said: "That driver is also unlucky."
Old Zhou sighed: "He is also a poor man."
Old man Li broke the big news: "I heard that the head of the Public Security Bureau was scolded by Boss Lu."
"real or fake?"
"It seems true."
"Then there is hope."
"Honestly, this boss is incredible."
"Of course not. I haven't seen such a righteous boss in many years."
"It's too straight to do!"
"It's not easy, in this world... ah!"
Jiang Ning asked, "Boss Lu also knows about this?"
An old man said, "Yes, I know. How can I not know about such a matter that concerns human life?"
Jiang Ning asked again: "What is Boss Lu's attitude?"
Another old man said, "I heard that the Public Security Bureau must handle this matter fairly and impartially. It must not be a case of false charges or wrongful convictions. Whoever is responsible must be held responsible. Whoever dares to abuse his power for personal gain must be investigated thoroughly."
Jiang Ning felt that this was quite dangerous and the matter was quite risky.
Wang Chengtai is not someone you can easily mess with. His only grandson is dead. Anyone who encounters this kind of thing would go crazy. Perhaps he doesn't dare to confront Boss Lu openly, but it's not difficult to arrange an accident for the driver.
The power of money is too great.
Jiang Ning himself has this ability.
There are several poor families on the farm, the kind that are almost being crushed.
Don't give too much, just give them half a million and those people will do anything.
However, if Jiang Ning really wanted to do such a thing, he would not need to ask anyone else for help. He could do it quietly by himself and would not leave any traces. Taking money from others would always involve some risks, and it would be troublesome if they were sold out.
After listening to the gossip for a while, Jiang Ning left.
Two days later, construction of the new fence of the farm was about to begin.
Jiang Ning went to his nursery garden. He had commissioned this piece of land to cultivate thorny roses. The mother plants were dug from the mountains. Dozens of them were dug up at the beginning. Two months later, dozens of thorny roses had grown lush and leafy, and had grown to a height of one person.
It bloomed twice and produced two crops of fruit.
Jiang Ning asked people to collect seeds and planted dozens of acres.
Now these thorny rose seedlings have grown to half a foot tall and it is time to transplant them.
The barbed wire is unreliable; people always break in.
This thing is pretty good and much more reliable than barbed wire.
Jiang Ning stood in front of a thorny rose tree, looking at it and admiring it.
This thing actually doesn't grow very tall. When it grows up, it looks like a hedgehog, with one-centimeter-long barbs all over its body. It is more than one meter wide horizontally, and its branches and leaves are very lush, with many branches growing out from the roots.
If they really grow together into one, even rabbits won't be able to pass through.
As for large animals, except for those with thick skin and flesh like elephants.
I guess no animal would want to touch this thing.
The workers on the farm are very busy because the trees on the farm are growing too fast.
It's simply too busy to prune the branches every day.
The outsourcing team for transplanting these thorny roses was the same two contractors who had planted the trees before. Jiang Ning did not bargain for the price. It was still three yuan to plant a thorny rose. He outsourced the work to two contractors. Although it cost a lot of money, it saved trouble.
The two contractors were also happy. After working hard for half their lives, they rarely met a boss as good as Boss Jiang.
As long as the job is done well, I will never hesitate to pay.
Although I don’t earn much, I can get money.
I would rather earn the 50,000 I can get.
I don't want to earn the 500,000 yuan that is hanging in the account.
The two guys upgraded their weapons. At the beginning of the year, they earned money by planting trees for him. Now they drive a Land Cruiser, wear branded clothes and watches, and have a Porsche phone. They pass around Dahua cigarettes. The workers who planted trees all call them "boss" and look very decent.
All that's missing is a big gold chain.
As a result, meeting Jiang Ning was like the bureau chief meeting Boss Lu.
It seemed as if my back couldn't straighten up in an instant.
Jiang Ning looked at the two nouveau riche, then at the Land Cruiser parked in front. His face twitched a few times, and he went over and patted the front of the car twice, asking, "How much does this car cost?"
The contractor surnamed Li quickly replied: "Just over one million!"
Jiang Ning looked at him and said, "You can only earn one million yuan by planting trees for me. After deducting taxes and other expenses, do you have 600,000 yuan? How much money do you have in your credit card to buy such an expensive car? Are you trying to make a living by pretending to be rich?"
Boss Li smiled apologetically: "Isn't it all about my face that I live my life for? It's all thanks to Mr. Jiang's care that I am where I am today."
The contractor named Wang next to him also nodded quickly.
This is really the truth.
If it wasn't for the fact that Jiang Ning happened to be planting trees, he would have outsourced the work to save trouble. And since he saw that the two of them were sensible and capable, he divided the work among them. If it weren't for this opportunity, I'm afraid I would have been a pauper all my life, with no chance of making a name for myself.
So, whether a person can turn things around in this life depends on whether he can do so.
It all depends on whether you can meet your destined noble person.
It is said that there are many opportunities in this world, but not many people can seize them.
But the reality is that there are many people who can seize the opportunity.
But opportunities are not everywhere.
