Chapter 45 Billboard

Shangliang Village has changed its postman. It turned out to be an old man, surnamed Qin, who went to the village to push a cart, didn't talk much, and just smiled when he saw people.Under normal circumstances, he put the letter under the "signpost" in front of the consignment point, and went.For registered letters, remittance slips, etc., I just ask Donglai, who is a consignment point, to stamp it, saying who it is, and Donglai collects and transfers it on behalf of others, which saves a lot of trouble. The new ones are different.This newcomer is a young boy, riding a new postal vehicle, and the vehicle that enters the village will not get off. He just rang the bell all the way, shouting all over the street: "Liu Hanxiang, get the badge! Who is Liu Hanxiang——Liu Granny, get the badge! Chapter!..." He yelled a few times, but there was no movement, and the young man stood in the street, shouting anxiously, "Who is Liu Hanxiang? - deaf?! Hurry up, take me!" chapter!"

At this time, Donglai ran out from the consignment point and said, "Here, here, give it to me." The young postman tied the car, looked at him suspiciously and said, "Are you Liu Hanxiang?" Donglai said, "I'm not. My place is a 'dot'. I keep all the letters here, and I collect and send them on behalf of you. I also sell some stamps for you. Lao Qin returned it?" The young man let out a "hmm", took out a clip from the mail bag, took out a notebook from inside, and wrote something on it, and asked, "Is Mrs. Liu too old? What a blessing, I have raised him." Four good sons, four remittance slips were sent all at once!"

Donglai said, "Who are you talking about?" The young man said, "Liu Hanxiang, Mrs. Liu...is there no such person in your village?" Dong Lai smiled and said, "Yes, yes, it's not the old lady, it's the village chief." The young man said "Oh" again, as if he understood, and said: "The village chief, no wonder, after all, he is powerful and powerful, and sent four sons at once!" Dong said: "It's not her son, she, she doesn't have a son..." With that said, he took a look at the remittance slips and said, "I know who sent them."

The young man looked at Donglai in surprise: "Isn't it her son?" Dong said, "No." He said, "Who is that?" Dong Lai didn't know what to say, he stammered and said, "Well, let's call it a son, let's call it a son..." "Is it the adopted son?" The young man looked very understanding, so he didn't ask any more, and just said, "You sign it, stamp it, and put it away." Dong Lai smiled, and followed his instructions one by one... Then, according to village rules, he put the four remittance slips on the "notice board".When he was about to put it up, he picked it up and read it again. The four remittance slips were remitted from different places, three of which were for 200 yuan, and one was for 500 yuan.The remitters were Feng Jiachang, Feng Jiaxing, Feng Jiayun, Feng Jiafu... Donglai cursed: Bah, bastard!

In just one meal, the whole village saw the four remittance slips... Anyone who saw it would go up and say "bah", cursing and saying, look at the burnt one?A group of white-eyed wolves! Some also said, yes!Just let him send it.Isn't he taking advantage of the money?Do the math for him... Dick, let him send it! Later, Donglai specifically went to Xianggu and asked what to do with the money order?Xianggu was very calm, Xianggu said, ask Jiahe to see if he accepts it, if he doesn't accept it, just return it.Ask Jiahe again, and Jiahe will naturally not accept it.Jiahe said that it was sent to my "sister-in-law" and I couldn't accept it.Dong Lai didn't say anything, he spat on the ground with a "bah", turned his head and left.

Donglai didn't return it right away, so he put the four remittance slips on the "notice board", like an exhibition, for every passing villager to see... After seeing it, someone spit: " Bah!" Thus, this "notice board" became a shame board in the village.Everyone knew that it was someone from the Feng family who had done something wrong and came to pay off the debt.But this debt, can you pay it off? ! After that, for several months, the young postman always rang the bell and came to Donglai's consignment office at the same time, shouting loudly: "Liu Hanxiang—take the stamp!" It also continued to increase, from two hundred to five hundred, from five hundred to one thousand... the highest one was sent over five thousand, and when it reached five thousand, Donglai once again took the remittance slip to ask Xianggu, Xianggu still said the same thing, back.But this person from Donglai was evil, so he accepted it as usual and signed and stamped it on behalf of Xianggu.Then, after a while, return the remittance slip sent last time... The postman said, this village is really evil!And there is no money?

When the amount of money is getting bigger and bigger, the saliva in people's mouths will be less, and they will stare at the "signboard" to see what the incense station has to say... In the end, people can't help but secretly admire her in their hearts.Everyone knows that Xianggu has no money. Although Xianggu's clothes are clean, they are all old clothes. She hasn't bought new clothes for several years, and all her money is spent on planting flowers.Xianggu is a character! The exhibition is as usual...the remittance slip becomes a symbol, or a contest of strength.You don't charge, do you?I still send it every month as usual. This is a kind of fulfillment of the promise, and it is also a kind of condescending compensation.However, to the villagers, it was like a frying pan for refining people, frying people alive!So, when you see it, you will scold and yell again!Repeatedly: Bah, bah, bah! ... However, as the days went by, it became commonplace, and no one went to see it anymore.

However, after a few days, the front of the "signboard" became lively again.Because there is a notice written on it: Anyone in the village who is willing to grow moon flowers can buy the contracted land as a share; those who don't want to buy a share can buy flower seeds for five yuan a grain if they want to do it alone. This notice was written by Xianggu.People looked at it for a long time and discussed it for a long time. They felt that this kind of flower is not a fruit tree. If the contracted land is used as a share, what if it is smashed?Some people saw something from the above and said, no wonder Xianggu doesn't care about the money, does she want to sell flower seeds?No matter how good the flower seeds are, can they be golden beans? She dares to ask for five yuan a grain? !People say that people will change in these years, is Xianggu... So, after much deliberation, that's all, no one wants to plant.

After a few more days, the "notice" was wiped away. But a new notice was rewritten on the "sign board", which said: Anyone in this village who is willing to plant moon flowers can give free flower seeds and free guidance on flower planting techniques. This time, many people gathered around to watch again.After reading it, I became even more disbelieving.Since it cost five yuan a grain last time, golden beans are so expensive!Why didn't you charge me this time?Isn't that a free gift?As soon as it was said "free gift", people became even more suspicious... However, some young people believed it, dead letter!I was arguing with my family about planting, and we started arguing as we talked!But Xianggu refused again. Seeing that the villagers were about to fight again, she said, forget it, I will find another way.

On a dew-splashed morning, someone saw Xianggu walking out of the village carrying a few pots of flowers and a bag of steamed buns. No one knew where she had gone... After about seven or eight days, she was seen empty again. Back with both hands.Someone asked her: "Is that golden bean-like flower sold?" She just smiled and said nothing. Suddenly one day, several cars drove into the village at high speed.Those who got out of the car were all very bright characters.I saw first a gorgeous woman with a half-naked upper body (also wearing clothes, the clothes are shining brightly, with loops here, a girdle there, shimmering light... It makes people too dazzled to tell the quality of the high-end clothes. It’s so famous) “橐,橐” got out of the car, then trotted to open the door, and then a fat old man in a suit came down from the other side of the car… People thought, God, that flower The same beautiful woman used to open the door for people!Then, something even more surprising happened. Someone got off from the car behind, and that person was the county magistrate (I found out later)!The dignified county magistrate came forward like a waiter, and accompanied him with a smile on his face... Turning around, the county magistrate ordered: "Village chief? Go and call the village chief!" Come!"

After a while of fuss, Xianggu was called.At this time, I saw the fat old man in a suit step forward quickly with his long outstretched hands, grabbed Xianggu's hand and said, "Miss Liu, I came here for you!..." The pretty woman standing aside hastily introduced, "This is Chairman Qiu of our company, and he came all the way from Guangzhou to see you." Xianggu said, "Welcome, welcome." At this time, the county magistrate interrupted and said: "Chairman Qiu is the boss of a large company in Hong Kong and the God of Wealth. It is a great joy to be able to come to our small county in the inland! Hurry up and make arrangements." Xianggu nodded, and asked someone to go to Mrs. Tofu to serve hot soy milk... After the guests sat down in the village office, the smile on Chairman Qiu's face disappeared. He lit a cigarette and smoked slowly. , suddenly became calm and sophisticated, he looked at Xianggu, and said calmly: "Miss Liu, in Guangzhou, how can you just leave? Business can be negotiated." Xianggu sat there, smiled silently, and said, "I've already said, I won't sell these flowers." Chairman Qiu said in a low voice: "Cultivating such precious flowers is indeed not easy, and I understand your feelings very well. Is this good? I came here specially to express my sincerity. I am sincere. Lah. Now, I will offer another price. You will definitely be able to accept this price, five hundred thousand! How about it?" Xianggu shook her head, but she still said the same thing: "Not for sale." The county magistrate looked at Xianggu and smacked his lips anxiously... But he is the county magistrate after all, so he hinted: "I think Chairman Qiu's visit this time is indeed sincere. Think again. Some things, ah, don’t be so rigid, they can be discussed.” Chairman Qiu once again said earnestly: "Miss Liu, don't listen to those people talking nonsense at the 'Canton Fair'. I admit that this is a very rare and rare flower. Otherwise, I wouldn't The price is 500,000 yuan. I want to say that no one can afford this price. You should think about it. Besides, to put it bluntly, I am also an expert in this area... ..." At this time, the female secretary sitting next to Chairman Qiu immediately introduced: "Director Qiu is an internationally renowned flower expert and a botanist with a master's degree." Xianggu smiled and nodded, but said nothing. The county magistrate followed up and said: "I know, I know. Chairman Qiu's name is as loud as thunder!" Chairman Qiu didn't look at the county magistrate, he looked straight at Xianggu, pondered for a moment, and said, "That's it, Ms. Liu, is this good? You offer a price, what price?" Xianggu said: "When I was in Guangzhou, I told you..." After listening to Chairman Qiu, he shook his head helplessly and closed his eyes. He slowly rubbed his eye circles again and again...Suddenly, he opened his eyes and said solemnly: "I love flowers." , I like this flower so much. I will quote the price again, and this is my final price. I bought the flower, seed, technology, and patent together, all of them, and the price is five million!" The room was silent, five million is a huge number, it will kill people all at once!I saw the county magistrate looking straight at Xianggu, as if he wanted to eat her!After a while, Xianggu sighed and murmured to herself softly, as if she was speaking to herself: "No matter how much money, no matter how much, no matter how much... I won't sell it." At this moment, the county magistrate couldn't sit still anymore, and the county magistrate slapped the case, and the county magistrate snapped: "—Nonsense! You, you, you, are you sick?! Are you sick?!" No one thought that Xianggu would agree, she said: "They all said so." The room was stuffy for a while, Chairman Qiu suddenly laughed, and laughed out loud!People also laughed... Then, Chairman Qiu stood up and said, "Miss Liu, I'm convinced. Is this okay? Let me look at the flowers again, is that okay?" Xianggu said, "Okay. Check it out." So, a group of people stood up and walked towards the flower shed.On the way, the county magistrate whispered in Chairman Qiu's ear, "Chairman Qiu, don't worry, I will do some work, and I can do this work. Let's talk again, talk again, I think we can still talk about it." Chairman Qiu shook his head and said, "This is already a sky-high price! I don't understand..." In that simple and unremarkable flower shed, Chairman Xi stared at the flowers for a long time... Then, he suddenly asked: "Your place used to be a distribution center for flowers from south to north?" Xianggu said, "Yes, it's recorded in the history books." "The common name of this flower is 'Blue Smoke'?" "Yes. It's recorded in the history books." "Also called 'immortal undressing'?" "Yes. It's recorded in the history books." "You named it Moon Flower?" "Yes, this name was given by me." Qiu Dong stopped asking, and murmured: "Okay, okay." After a while, he called Xianggu aside, and said again: "I offered five million, but you don't want to sell it?" Xianggu said again: "Not for sale." Qiu Dong stared at her and said, "Okay, have courage!" ... At the end, the Hong Kong businessman surnamed Qiu waved his hand and said a little dejectedly: "Let's go, let's go." So they got into the car together.The county magistrate had a dark face, and without saying a word, he slammed the car door shut!He left Xianggu alone at the door of the flower shed. The convoy left in a hurry and slowly drove out of the village entrance.Chairman Qiu sat in the car, holding his head in his hands, and remained silent all the time.In the car, the female secretary kindly persuaded: "Chairman Qiu, forget it, these people are too..." Chairman Qiu didn't speak at first, but after a while, he suddenly shouted: "Stop!" The driver Glancing back at him, he immediately braked the car. Chairman Qiu closed his eyes and remained silent for a while, then said softly, "Drive back for me." So the group sat down again.Chairman Qiu said straight to the point: "Miss Liu, let me ask again, do you insist on cooperative development?" Xianggu said, "Yes." "Are you going to rebuild Flower Town?" "yes." "If I understand correctly, you want to invest in technology patents and contracted land, and we will pay all the funds for joint development, with a 50-50 split?" "right" "So, what about you personally?" "When I was in Guangzhou, I said that I personally don't want a penny." Chairman Qiu said: "Let me take the liberty to ask again, what are you trying to do in this way?" When he asked such a question, Xianggu felt sour and almost shed tears. She pondered for a while and said, "Actually, I really want to sell it to you. Don't say five million, if you give fifty thousand, I will give you fifty thousand." It’s also for sale. It’s just that there are some things that are difficult for people like you to understand...that is ideals. Ideals, I can’t sell them.” Chairman Qiu scratched his head and said, "Well, I won't ask any more. However, I have made a calculation. If we cooperate, we will only invest in the early stage, including the transformation of roads, water, electricity and flower sheds. At least Twenty million! Maybe twenty million is not enough... But, I am still persuaded by you. Well, I have made up my mind and I promise you." But he knew in his heart that he came here this time with the will to win!Of course he wants to make money.A businessman doesn't do things that don't make money.He knew that the cost of building a base here and selling flowers from south to north would be very low... Besides, if such precious flowers were sold to Europe, they would cost at least two hundred dollars a plant! Xianggu didn't say anything, tears came from Xianggu's eyes, and the tears fell down one after another... Xianggu murmured: "If no one cooperates, we will do it ourselves." After all, the county magistrate is the county magistrate, and the county magistrate immediately understood the stakes here!Perhaps, a new city will appear here, that is the Flower City.If it can be realized, there is no greater political achievement than this!The county magistrate stood up excitedly and said: "Cunchang Liu, Chairman Qiu, on behalf of the county party committee and the county government, I fully support you! From today onwards, I solemnly declare that on the issue of rebuilding Huazhen, what do you want me to do? I will do whatever. Within the county, no matter what problems arise, I will come forward to coordinate!" Chairman Qiu first thanked the county magistrate, and then said with a smile: "Miss Liu, if there is nothing else, can we sign the contract?" But the county magistrate said: "Eat, eat first." Xianggu said, "I'll roll out noodles and scramble eggs for you. Is that okay?" The county magistrate said: "No. This time, your village will not be allowed to pay a penny, and the county treats you!" ... In the middle of the night, when Xianggu was sent back to Shangliang Village by the county magistrate's special car, when she got out of the car, she saw a dark crowd, and the whole village stood silently at the entrance of the village.No words, no one said a word.It's just that eyes, layers of eyes, blinking... bright like a lamp!
