Rebirth of the Age of Wealth

Chapter 556 Development

Li Weihong's proposal seems simple, just pay for it, but it is not easy to implement it.

There are many interested parties involved, especially the people in several nearby villages!

It is said that if you rely on the sea to eat, you will eat the sea, and if you rely on the mountains, you will eat the mountains. The surrounding villages all rely on this mountain for food. If the interests of the local people are not balanced well, it will be difficult for anyone to do it.

However, Li Weidong did not object, he just said: "It's easy to say, how about you come?"

"You..." Li Weihong rolled his eyes angrily, then turned to Liu Jinhui and said pretentiously: "Sister-in-law, I'm really making things difficult for you. My brother is just like this, and you can only blame the sky, the ground, and the air for nothing. You can't bear it!"

Liu Jinhui also sighed and said: "Oh, long live understanding!"

Then the two looked at each other and laughed.

It's not that Li Weidong doesn't have this idea, it's just that he already has many industries under his name, and it seems that there are no industries related to tourist attractions.

Moreover, tourist attractions are not an emerging strategic industry. If a company is set up to engage in these small businesses, the gains outweigh the losses.

Several people passed through a canyon that resembled a ray of sky, and then appeared in a relatively open area.

The sun shines in from the top, making the surrounding environment a lot brighter. Along with the breeze of late spring and early summer, it makes people feel relaxed and happy.

Li Weidong looked at the surrounding scenery. Although it was still undeveloped and the roadside was still overgrown with weeds, it had a unique flavor.

This kind of scene is very reminiscent of the kind of scene in ancient martial arts dramas where a peerless master is hidden.

It's just that some modern products such as mineral water bottles, food packaging bags, and cigarette butts left behind by someone who didn't know who were there next to it are a bit weird.

"Captain, there is no road ahead. It's blocked by a cave. It seems to be the end!" Ding Yuan's walkie-talkie heard the sound of electromagnetic waves, and then the voice of a bodyguard exploring the road ahead.

The intercom was very loud, so Ding Yuan did not need to repeat it to Li Weidong. He just looked at Li Weidong and asked for his opinion.

After Li Weidong heard the intercom, he frowned at first, and then suddenly remembered that the passage to the Great Rift Valley might not have been opened at this time.

The last time he came here in his previous life was after it was developed into a tourist area.

As for when the Great Rift Valley was opened, he really didn't know.

What he saw when he was a child was only the outside. After development, some stalactites and underground lava caves were completely exposed.

"Go over and have a look!" Li Weidong became interested and said happily.

Ding Yuan and other bodyguards protected Li Weidong and his party as they continued to move forward.

The children had a mysterious sense of adventure, and with a little curiosity in their expressions, they walked at the front of the team.

Following the traces left by the bodyguard in front, the group of people wandered around for a short time before they saw the small entrance of the cave that the bodyguard just mentioned.

The entrance of the cave is small and arched. It looks like it was formed by the collision of the rock walls on both sides. The soil below is very soft, like rock fragments.

Several children were already surrounding the entrance of the cave, talking and guessing where the cave came from and what would be inside.

"Will there be treasures inside, such as gold, silver and jewelry? This is how it is shown on TV?" Gao Haiyan said excitedly.

"Have you watched too many martial arts dramas? Who put the gold and silver jewelry here for you to dig up?" Li Weihong said, patting his head.

Gao Haiyan didn't say anything, but Li Tai explained: "Sister-in-law, you don't understand. I heard people say that we used to have many bandits. Those bandits must have hidden gold, silver and jewelry. If they were killed, they would all become ownerless.

Items belong to whoever digs them up!"

"We bandits are all bandits who were too hungry to eat. Where did the gold, silver and jewelry come from? If you have nothing to do, read more serious books and study hard. Don't read villain books every day!"

"Hey, who still reads little books nowadays? There's nothing on the Internet?" Gao Haiyan said disdainfully.

"Who are you? You only know how to surf the Internet. When I get back, I will tell your mother to stop surfing the Internet!" Li Weihong said warningly.

"Auntie, we won't complain. Besides, how can I dare to offend you? You are our role model!" Gao Haiyan immediately said with a smile.

Li Weidong ignored the quarrels among them, walked to the entrance of the cave, took a look, and shined a light inside.

It's just that the inside of the cave is not straight. It turns in another direction two or three meters away, and the situation inside is no longer visible.

Ding Yuan took out a lighter and lit it, then placed it at the entrance of the cave to see if there was any wind, but the lighter was windproof and he couldn't feel the wind at all.

Ding Yuan smiled coquettishly, as expected, this kind of knowledge obtained from textbooks may not necessarily be useful.

At this time, Liu Jinhui took out a piece of facial tissue from her bag, folded it, and lit it with Ding Yuan's lighter. The flame slowly grew bigger.

Put the lighted paper at the entrance of the hole. You can see that the flames have obviously shifted. You can confirm that there is wind in the hole.

"I****cao, there is wind in the cave, there is wind in the cave!" Gao Haiyan shouted loudly, and Li Tai also shouted.

After Li Weihong heard this, he hit each of them on the back and said angrily: "Who did you learn to swear at at such a young age?"

"Auntie, why do you always carry out sneak attacks?" Gao Haiyan said angrily.

Li Weihong hit him twice more, and while beating him, he said: "I'm going to teach you a lesson, but you don't need a sneak attack. Ah, do you need a sneak attack?"

Gao Haiyan hid far away and muttered in a low voice: "With this temper, it's no wonder that I can't get married!"

"What did you say?" Li Weihong didn't hear clearly and asked in confusion.

"I said you are so good!" Gao Haiyan said quickly.

Li Weidong looked at the small hole and touched the soft soil at the bottom of the hole. He knew in his mind that the Great Rift Valley had not been completely opened yet, and this was where it would be opened.

I heard the old man say it was connected to both sides before, but I didn't pay much attention to it. Now it seems that this rumor is true.

The entrance to the cave was not big, and Li Weidong and the others were not here to explore, so they naturally had no intention of going deeper inside. They had no choice but to go back when they reached the end.

When I stepped out of the sky, the sun was already above my head, and I instantly felt its warmth.

Standing at the foot of the cliff and looking down, I saw large acacia trees in full bloom with snow-white acacia flowers, and the fragrance of the flowers filled my nostrils.

This smell reminded Li Weidong of the bean curd and sophora flower rice he had eaten when he was a child.

Flatten and crush the soybeans, wash the sophora flowers and put them in hot water, mix them together and steam them in a pot, mix them with minced garlic, and roll them up with pancakes. The taste will be forgotten.

Li Weidong thought in his mind, smelling the taste in his nose and drooling in his mouth. It would be a pity if he didn't have a meal.

"When we get to the foot of the mountain, let's go back and pick up some locust flowers and make a locust flower rice to eat!" Li Weidong muttered.

This sentence also aroused Li Weihong's appetite and expressed his strong agreement.

When a few people went up the mountain, they saw a beekeeper raising bees to collect nectar on the roadside. At that time, Liu Jinhui proposed to buy some original honey.

When going down the mountain, they happened to meet a beekeeper taking honey from the beehive. Several people thought it was strange, so they stood on the road and watched.

It's not that they don't want to get close, it's the buzzing bees that scare them away.

The beekeepers are a couple, and they should be over forty years old. The husband is responsible for taking out the honeycombs in frames from the hives, shaking off the bees on them, and cleaning them.

There are no bees in the hive, and the shiny thing inside is exposed. You don't have to think twice to know that it is honey.

The wife is responsible for putting the honeycomb into the honey shaker, shaking it vigorously a few times to shake the honey out of the honeycomb, and then puts the honeycomb into the beehive and closes the beehive lid.

The two have a clear division of labor. Just like the assembly line in a factory, no one is idle and no one is particularly busy. They all perform their duties.

Moreover, two people are perfect for this job, one more or less cannot do it, and their movements are as smooth as water. This is probably the most beautiful picture of working people.

Li Weidong was not the only one who felt this way. Li Weihong had already taken several photos with his camera, even making the hostess a little shy.

"Boss, do you want honey?" At this time, the male host paused for a moment and greeted Li Weidong and others.

Only then did Li Weidong realize that the beekeeper was not from the north, and his accent sounded like a southerner from Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Although the boss tried his best to speak Mandarin well, the accent still made Li Weidong very confused. It was not until the boss repeated it twice that Li Weidong understood what the boss meant.

Li Weidong asked in local dialect like an ordinary person: "This is acacia honey, how much does it cost per pound?"

At this time, the hostess said: "Look at the mountains of acacia flowers, they must be authentic acacia nectar, five yuan a pound!"

Although the hostess still had a strong southern accent, she could at least understand it clearly to Li Weidong.

Li Weidong didn't know whether five yuan per catty was expensive or cheap, but thinking about the time when he poured white sugar seven or eight years ago, it was one yuan per catty more. Honey must be more expensive than white sugar, so this price should be more appropriate.

"How many do you have? Did you take them out today?" Li Weidong asked.

"I made them all today, and they are all stored here. They weigh about more than 200 kilograms!" The woman said with a happy face, pointing to the two large iron buckets next to her.

Although I don’t know who Li Weidong is, looking at the dozens of people shouting and cheering, I know that he is not an ordinary person.

Hearing Li Weidong ask again, I vaguely guessed that I might have met a big customer!

Li Weidong smiled and said: "Hey, you guys make a lot of money, more than 1,000 in half a day?"

The hostess explained: "You can't make much money, and you can't harvest honey every day. It's good if you can harvest it twice during the flowering period. If you can collect some this year, you won't be able to harvest it next year?"

"Why won't it work next year? Honey harvesting is divided into different years?" Li Weidong asked curiously.

"No, as long as there are flowers and the weather is suitable, there will be nectar. As long as there is nectar, bees will definitely collect it!"

"I heard from the villagers that this large area of ​​acacia trees should be killed and pepper trees planted. There won't be so many trees next year?" the hostess said regretfully.

Li Weidong also sighed after hearing this. He remembered that in his previous life, his village also cut down a forest on the mountain to open up wasteland and plant cash crops at this time.

The mountains here are different from the plains. There are many people but little land. Simply growing food can only provide enough food and clothing. It is not that difficult to develop the peasant economy.

The only way out is on this mountain, planting some fruit trees and cash crops.

Cutting down green water and green mountains and converting them into crop land or planting cash crops cannot be said to be the limitations of farmers.

Farmers can't just have enough to eat. They also need to spend money, daily expenses, favors, and children's education. Everything requires real money. There is no other way.

At this time, the real estate market has not really started to explode, and the majority of farmers have not yet had the opportunity to work as migrant workers in cities. It is not that easy to make two bucks.

Li Weidong didn't say anything and asked directly: "What do you use to pack honey? Do you have the tools?"

"Yes, yes, we have plastic buckets here, they are all new, some are 5 catties, some are 10 catties!"

"The five-pound one can hold nearly eight kilograms of honey, and the ten-pound one can hold fifteen and a half kilograms. How much do you want?"

The hostess's face was full of joy. Looking at Li Weidong's clothes, she knew that he was a rich man and would definitely buy a lot.

At worst, it has to be a 5-pound bucket. You can't buy a one-and-a-half-pound bucket like the people in the village.

"You only have 200 pounds?" Li Weidong looked at the spectacular crowd behind him and asked.

"There are others, some of which are rapeseed honey brought from the south, and some of which are made for the first time, and the color is not as beautiful as this one!"

The hostess didn't know what Li Weidong meant by asking, but she still told the truth.

"Forget it, use a 5-pound bucket to pack all your more than 200 kilograms for me. I'll take them all!" Li Weidong said domineeringly.

Before the hostess could speak, Liu Jinhui said from the side: "Why did you make so much? How long do you have to drink?"

Li Weidong rolled his eyes and said, "I have to drink it myself. Can't I give my father-in-law a few barrels?"

The hostess was afraid that the big order would be lost, so she quickly called her husband, who was still busy, to come over and pack the honey.

The wholesale price of more than 200 kilograms of honey is half of the retail price. It's rare to find a boss who doesn't bargain with the price. You can make hundreds of dollars from this amount.

The beekeepers were packing honey, and Li Weidong and the others were not idle either, picking acacia flowers on some relatively lush acacia trees nearby.

Li Weidong was masturbating vigorously when Ding Yuan came over with his mobile phone and said to Li Weidong: "Boss, Mr. Luo Jialiang of Guangying Entertainment, he said that what you asked him to do last time has been almost completed, and he wants to report to you.

!”

Li Weidong was a little confused and asked in confusion: "What did I tell him to do?"

Li Weidong thought about it, and it seemed that except for Luo Jialiang's involvement in the incident when he was in the United States, nothing else seemed to happen?

Li Weidong once felt a little regretful for not controlling his own affairs, but wasn't that matter settled long ago?

Ding Yuan saw that Li Weidong didn't think about it, so he reminded him: "Last time in the capital, you asked him to find a few screenwriters to use the story of the hotel cook to write a script and make it into a TV series!"

Li Weidong remembered it, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Hey, I thought it was a big deal. He can just let him take care of this little thing. I don't know what to report to me!"

Ding Yuan was about to agree when he heard Li Weidong say again: "Hey, by the way, does Guangying Entertainment have a tourist attraction development business?"

Ding Yuan knew what Li Weidong meant, so he said: "Guangying Entertainment Management has developed several tourist attractions in the film and television city. It should be a tourist attraction development business!"

Li Weidong nodded and said: "Then let him take a trip. I think the development potential here is quite large!"
