Who are you calling powerful?.

Chapter 777 Extra 34 Returning home in wealth and glory, one of the greatest romances of the Chinese
Boss Wei spent more than ten days on four live broadcasts in central Shandong, western Shandong, southern Shandong, and Jiaodong, with sales exceeding 30 billion+.

There are at least a dozen products and brands that have become popular and widely followed, with popularity and sales soaring by no less than three digits. Even several cities that have performed well have increased their visibility.

Don't underestimate this point. There are about 300 prefecture-level cities in the country, but only a few dozen of them are truly famous.

The public has no idea about most prefecture-level cities. Even among people from the same province, there are many who cannot even count how many prefecture-level cities there are in their province.

Shandong Province is one of the most well-known provinces in the country.

But apart from Quancheng and Dao City, which are well-known throughout the country, the remaining places such as Yanshi, Zibo, Linshi, Taishi, etc. are relatively better. Places like Binshi, Liaoshi, and Dongshi are very only known to very few people across the country.

What's even more embarrassing is that the counties and cities below are more famous than the prefecture-level city itself, so much so that many people mistakenly believe that the former are the prefecture-level cities.

The most typical example is Qufu, the hometown of Confucius, is much more famous than Jishi, to which it belongs. Even Yanzhou, another city under Jishi, is more famous than Qufu.

If the "Cosmic Cao County" meme hadn't become popular, many people wouldn't even know that Hezhou belongs to Shandong Province.

Wei Yang has met people more than once who thought Hezhou was in the neighboring Henan Province.

There is also Boss Wei’s hometown, Zao City.

In his previous life, when he told others about his hometown, not many people from other provinces knew about Zaoshi. But when he mentioned Taierzhuang, they immediately understood.

In this time and space, because of Wei Yang, Zao City has one more label, and its popularity is better than the previous generation.

Therefore, for some ordinary prefecture-level cities, it is indeed rare to be able to show their faces in a positive and active manner in front of the people across the country and deepen a certain impression. That is why all parts of Shandong Province attach so much importance to Boss Wei’s live broadcast.

The only pity is that now is the mask period, so we can basically not get any benefits from tourism.

Otherwise, not only will Boss Wei’s influence in selling goods be greater, but it will also promote cultural tourism in various parts of Shandong Province.

Even so, many provinces and cities are now keeping an eye on Boss Wei, hoping that he can come to their provinces and cities to live broadcast, help farmers and advertise at the same time. Wei Yang's Douyin account is full of official accounts from all over the country acting cute.

This really puts Boss Wei in a difficult position!

If I don't agree, it will be disrespectful and hurt the hearts of local fans and netizens. If I agree, I will be completely tied up and it will be endless.

Boss Wei does live streaming for charity and fame purposes, and has no intention of making it his main business as he has other things to do in his company.

Therefore, this matter was temporarily put on hold, and even the originally scheduled live broadcast in Zaoshi was delayed for a few days.

It was not until others saw the benefits and there was official support behind the scenes, and celebrities from all provinces and regions also stepped forward to support their hometowns, that Boss Wei was able to avoid this wave.

At the end of June, Boss Wei went to his hometown, Zao City, to complete his last live broadcast to help farmers in Shandong Province.

There is no airport in Zao City, so Boss Wei took a bus from the airport in the neighboring Xu City to his hometown.

The team that came earlier had already arranged a hotel. Boss Wei thought about it and decided not to go to the hotel. Instead, he said hello and went to visit grandma with his bodyguard assistant first.

My grandfather passed away a few years ago, and Wei Yang's return to his hometown to attend the funeral became a hot topic.

Grandma is still alive, but she is already very old. Every time Boss Wei comes to his hometown, he always comes to visit.

In fact, Grandma Wei and Wang Yunping also thought about bringing the old lady to Shanghai to take care of her.

At that time, he was afraid that the old lady would not be able to adapt to the situation, so he even called several aunts to Shanghai in shifts. Wei Yang paid her a monthly salary, and her job was to accompany the old lady.

As a result, the old lady couldn't stay there for long and wanted to go home. Several aunts said that the old lady was missing Grandpa Wei Yang and was afraid that he would die in a foreign land and couldn't return home.

Later, Wang Yunping no longer brought the old lady to Shanghai, but instead came back to live with her for a while every year.

During the mask period, Wang Yunping was always thinking about her mother. She visited her mother twice after the lockdown was lifted. If it weren't for taking care of her grandson, she might have moved back by now.

Boss Wei watched it once when he returned to his hometown last year. After the mask, he also watched it again when he had time during this trip back to his hometown.

The old lady lives in the countryside. Wang Yunping paid for the house she built. Her two uncles live in the same village, and her aunts come to visit from time to time.

Usually, the person who mainly takes care of the old lady is her eldest uncle's cousin who married nearby and was raised by the old lady.

This candidate was chosen by Boss Wei. In the previous life, this cousin had been taking care of my grandparents. She can be said to be the most filial grandchild.

So, when Wang Yunping wanted to find someone to take care of her mother, Wei Yang thought of this cousin.

Although she takes care of the elderly full-time, on the surface she does not receive any money, after all, several aunts and uncles-in-law are interested in her, so Wang Yunping will give them some money privately. Boss Wei also helps with the schooling of her cousin's son.

Wei Yang and his group of two cars were stopped at the entrance of the village, and an old man with a red headband asked them to register.

It is very common nowadays. We are still wearing masks, which are loose and tight to prevent accidents. Many places do not hinder entry and exit, but some basic information will be recorded.

The driver took out a pack of cigarettes and stuffed it into the old man's hand: "Uncle, please help me."

The old man looked at the cigarette in his hand and exclaimed, "Wow, it's a Zhonghua."

The driver laughed innocently, the old man put the cigarette in his pocket, his face became noticeably kinder, and he took the registration form.

"Just remember it twice, it's not a big deal."

Seeing this, the driver nodded and said, "Ask."

"Young man, what do you want to do in our village?"

Wei Yang came in a low profile, and the driver didn't want to leak the news, so he casually replied, "Visiting relatives."

"Heh, your accent doesn't sound like a local. Do you know the way? Whose relative are you? I'll show you the way."

"No need, sir, we know the way."

"Oh, how many people are in the car?"

“Just two cars.”

"From where?"

"City."

The old man asked a few questions, but the driver was beating around the bush and avoided the question.

Seeing this, the old man put down his pen, his face darkened, turned around and greeted the other two companions at the entrance of the village, blocking the car. The old man picked up a shovel and spoke righteously.

"Xiao Qi is a straight-laced guy. I felt something was wrong when he took out the cigarettes just now. How could someone come up and give you Zhonghua cigarettes?"

"You don't say anything when I ask you. You're sneaking around like a sly. You don't look like a good person. Tell me, are you here to steal dogs or children?"

The old man's expression changed so quickly that the driver was stunned. At this moment, the car door opened, Wei Yang got out of the car and took off his mask.

"Uncle, it's me."

The old man, Wang Yunxin, Boss Wei’s second uncle, saw Wei Yang in a trance for a moment before he reacted.

“Yangyang?!”

Boss Wei felt a little embarrassed to be called that. Since his status and position became higher and higher, even the old couple Wang Yunping no longer called him by that nickname.

However, his relatives in his hometown have watched him grow up since he was a child and have long been accustomed to it, so they feel awkward calling him by his full name.

The second uncle was not aware of his nephew's embarrassment at all. He was very happy to see Boss Wei.

"Why are you here? Why didn't you call me when you got home so that I could ask your cousin to pick you up? Is your mother here? Is my grandson here? Have you eaten? I'll ask your aunt to make you a meal..."

The series of questions confused Boss Wei. Why didn't he realize that his second uncle was such a chatterbox before?

To be disrespectful, he almost thought it was his eldest son who came over. He was also so talkative that it was almost impossible to get a word in.

"Uncle, get in the car first. This is not the place to talk. Let's talk when we get home."

Boss Wei could only force himself to mute the microphone. My second uncle nodded and turned around to greet his companions. Even from a few meters away, he could hear my second uncle's bragging.

"My nephew is here. Yes, he is my third sister's nephew, the richest man, Wei Yang. OK, go ahead and do your best. I will go and have dinner with my nephew."

My second uncle got on the car, and at the signal of Boss Wei, the driver got off the car and gave each of his two companions two packs of cigarettes, hoping that they would keep the trip secret.

To be honest, Wei Yang didn't expect them to really keep it a secret. He just hoped they could control it a little bit and not shout it all over the village with a loud speaker.

Wei Yang wasn't going to stay long anyway, so after a brief delay, he looked at the old man and then left.

"Hey, just give me two. Why give me so many? It's not easy for you to earn money."

Second uncle's habitual words of being stingy with money almost silenced Boss Wei. If it was not easy for him to make money, then there was no one in China who could make money easily.

However, he did not argue with the old man, and just one word made the other person smile.

"Isn't this a disgrace to you?"

Grandma's house was right next to the village road, and it only took two minutes to get there. The driver parked the car to get something, and Wei Yang and his second uncle knocked on the door.

"My mother, my mother, Yangyang is here."

The second uncle shouted at the top of his lungs, and took the time to explain to Wei Yang: "Your grandma's ears are not working well now. Your second sister Ni is not at home, so you have to shout as hard as you can, otherwise you won't be able to get her to open up."

It is now close to noon. According to my second uncle, at this time, cousin Wei Yang would normally prepare dinner for grandma and then go to pick up the children from school, so she would most likely not be at home.

But today my second uncle miscalculated. My cousin's child's school was suspended and she happened to be at home, so she opened the door quickly.

Seeing that it was Wei Yang, the cousin was also surprised. At this time, the neighbors were alarmed and came over to watch the fun. After a few greetings, Wei Yang was surrounded and went to see the old lady.

"Grandma, do you still recognize me?"

Wei Yang half-knelt in front of the old lady, held her hand, and greeted her loudly in his hometown accent.

The old lady is old now. She is not only deaf but also has blurry eyesight. Although she is still confused, she is not very good at recognizing people. Wei Yang only comes once a year, so it is hard to say whether the old lady remembers him.

However, Wei Yang still underestimated his position in the old lady's heart. The latter was slightly stunned and immediately recognized him.

"It's Yangyang, why are you here?"

"I'm back home to do some work and came to see you."

Boss Wei raised his voice, but the old lady didn't know whether she could hear him or not. She smiled and nodded, holding his hand and kept muttering.

"I'm fine. I have food and drink. You and your mother don't have to worry about me."

Wei Yang talked to the old lady for a few words. The old lady was so deaf that she could hardly hear half of the ten sentences she said. When Wei Yang came last year, her hearing was not so serious. I didn't expect that in just one year, her hearing would deteriorate so much.

"I'll get the old lady a hearing aid later."

My cousin shook her head and said, "It's useless. My second uncle and third aunt both bought one for her. Your mother, my third aunt, bought one from Shanghai before. They said it cost tens of thousands of dollars and it was a little better. But she stopped wearing it because she felt uncomfortable."

Wei Yang understood. It seemed that ordinary hearing aids were not enough and the old lady was not used to it. He decided to find an expert to take a look.

During the time Wei Yang was talking to the old lady, the news had already spread outside.

There was a circle of people gathered at the gate, and a lot of people were crowding into the yard. Fortunately, my second uncle asked the neighbors and bodyguards to guard the house, otherwise they would have been broken into long ago.

However, this could not prevent outsiders or family members. Soon, my uncle, aunt, cousin's wife and others heard the news and rushed over.

Wei Yang has a good relationship with his second uncle and has always been very affectionate to his cousin, but he is not very interested in his snobbish and troublesome uncle. He is just being superficial.

As soon as my uncle arrived, village cadres also came and brought people to help maintain order, which made Boss Wei temporarily give up the idea of ​​leaving.

Not wanting to deal with all this, Wei Yang let his elder uncle, who was very concerned about his reputation, show off to the village cadres, while he mainly chatted with the old lady and his cousin.

How is your health? Have you had your usual physical check-up? Is there anything missing at home? Are you having any difficulties?

Although Wang Yunping came here not long ago and they still contacted each other by phone from time to time, it was a rare visit by Wei Yang, so he couldn't help but express his appreciation.

Just because Wang Yunping can't do something doesn't mean Boss Wei can't do it.

His grandparents passed away early, and his grandfather is also gone. He is the only close ancestor Wei Yang has still alive. He rarely comes, so if money or effort is needed, Boss Wei will not be stingy.

My cousin is a kind person and said everything is fine and she lacks nothing.

Even though her mother, aunt, sister-in-law, and cousin's wife were glaring at her frantically, she just pretended not to see anything.

Boss Wei couldn't help but sigh that his uncle's family all had some issues with their character, except for this cousin, who remained untainted by the mud.

This may also be because she was not liked by her parents and was brought up by her grandmother since childhood. She is simple and honest, hardworking and meticulous, doesn't talk much and has a good temper.

Really, if she wasn't his cousin and had to take care of the children, Wei Yang really wanted to invite her to his home as a nanny.

As he was talking, his assistant came over and said, "Boss, someone outside is filming a video and live streaming it. It has become a local trending search. There may be a lot of people coming to join in the fun. The authorities contacted us and said they would send someone to maintain order."

"Tell them not to come over, we'll leave now."

Boss Wei didn't want to make a big fuss, and since they couldn't finish the conversation today, he could just arrange a dinner at a hotel tomorrow and invite the old lady over.

If Wei Yang hadn't felt that it would be too arrogant for the old lady to see him if he didn't come back home, and if he hadn't wanted to see the old lady's usual condition and whether the house needed anything, he wouldn't have come to visit.

It turns out that sometimes it’s not that Boss Wei is being arrogant, but it’s just that it’s really inconvenient.

You see, Brother Dong from JD.com is always surrounded by a group of people when he returns to the village. Boss Wei is much more famous than him.

Before he became the former richest man, he was also a top star.

Coupled with the fact that his live broadcast went viral not long ago, Wei Yang can now be called a human-shaped hot search machine.

You don't have to do anything. Just hold your phone and shoot a video with Boss Wei and you might become popular. If you start a live broadcast in a slightly better position, you can get four-digit online views.

It’s not an exaggeration at all. This is what Wei Yang had experienced when he was live streaming to sell goods.

Whenever he left the hotel or got in the car to go back to the hotel after work, there would always be a group of people holding their phones to watch the live broadcast and take videos, which consumed a lot of traffic.

Now that Boss Wei has returned to his hometown, there are more topics and gimmicks, and many people like to follow him.

If we weren't all from the same village, we would see each other every day. There were also several bodyguards guarding the door, and if you didn't break in, you would have to put your phone against the window to take pictures.

After briefly explaining the situation to grandma and second uncle, Wei Yang took his people out.

The yard is now almost full, and there are people at the door. Boss Wei estimates that even if the village holds a meeting, the crowd may not be so crowded.

The village cadres shouted a few times but it was of no use, so the eldest and second uncles had to lead the way, and several village cadres blocked the way outside, while bodyguards and assistants protected Wei Yang as he squeezed out.

The villagers and the first group of well-informed people from nearby areas who rushed over were shocked when they saw Wei Yang appear.

The scene suddenly became noisy, with constant shouting, mostly of names and titles, such as Wei Yang and Mr. Wei, but also some strange noises.

"Boss Wei, please sign for me."

"Wei Yang, Wei Yang, we played marbles together when we were little, do you remember?"

"My last name is Wang too, and I'm your mother's cousin."

"Look at this, look at this, awesome."

“Dad (heartbroken)!!! Wei Yang’s dad (crying and wailing)!!!”

Boss Wei was blocked by people. Although he was not squeezed, he was not moving fast. Wei Yang was not in a hurry either. He kept smiling and waving at everyone around him.

After all, they are my old family members and many of them are my relatives, so naturally I have to greet them with a smile.

But when he heard the word "Dad", Boss Wei couldn't hold it in anymore.

It's not like Wei Yang hasn't heard other people shout like this before. After all, there are too many people who want to have rich men as their fathers these days.

As the richest man, he has become accustomed to people calling him "Dad" wherever he goes.

It’s just that because he is relatively young, and because of his appearance and style, more people call Boss Wei “husband” rather than “daddy”, and they call him that both men and women.

But today is my mother's hometown after all, not to mention that many of the people around are his relatives, and some may even be Wei Yang's elders.

The key point is that these are all people from the same village, and they basically know each other. This person shouted so emotionally, full of desire and yearning for a rich life. Is there really nothing he cares about in his hometown?

What made Boss Wei even more nervous was that a village cadre who was maintaining order nearby heard the shout, turned around, and was so angry that he took off his shoes and went over to beat the person.

"You little bastard, you don't have the slightest shame."

Wei Yang: "..."

If he guessed correctly, this person should be the biological father of his "godson"...

Because of this little episode, Wei Yang was delayed a little and took a few minutes before he was able to leave by car.

Several village cadres drove or rode motorcycles to help clear the way, saying that they had heard the news nearby and there were many cars on the road.

Wei Yang did not stop them, he knew that these people had their own little thoughts about following him.

But he did help out just now, and my grandma and second uncle at home also count on him to take care of them, so if the request is not excessive, he will naturally satisfy it.

Wei Yang went straight to the hotel where they were staying and chatted with several village cadres. They all returned satisfied.

Wei Yang declined the reception hosted by local officials and some companies, planning to take a rest and sell goods in the evening.

During his rest period, news about him visiting his grandmother began to spread online.

Netizens gave mixed reviews, with many finding fault, but overall the comments were positive, with many fans explaining the situation to the locals.

The positive comments come from the fact that Wei Yang respects the elderly, and on the other hand, they express admiration for Boss Wei’s popularity and treatment in his hometown.

Not only the scenes in the village, but also some pictures and videos posted by local people in Zao City.

For example, the entrance of the hotel where Boss Wei worked was crowded with people who wanted to catch the attention and watch the fun, as well as Wei Yang's fellow countrymen and fans. Because of the masks, they couldn't get too close, so they gathered in groups of three or four, almost filling up the entire street.

The streets, bus stops and billboards of all sizes in Zao City are also covered with advertisements of Boss Wei’s live broadcasts to help farmers and some personal posters.

Several of the largest buildings in the province and city, as well as some park walls and bridge intersections, have large slogans displayed through projection, spray paint graffiti, and banners.

【Wei Yang, welcome home! 】

All these scenes show the support and love that the people of Zao City have for Boss Wei, which makes people feel emotional and envious.

Return home with wealth!

It has been one of the supreme romances of the Chinese for thousands of years. The person who lives in a foreign place has never thought that one day he will return home in glory.

This time, Boss Wei not only returned to his hometown with wealth and popularity, but also gave back to his hometown, bringing benefits to the people of his hometown, and adding a bit of warmth and affection, satisfying most people's imagination of this word.

Countless people on the Internet were deeply moved, not to mention Wei Yang, the person involved.

He saw these after his break, at the reminder of his assistant.

To be honest, he thought he would be welcomed after returning this time, but he never expected to be loved so much by his fellow countrymen.

Therefore, Boss Wei worked very hard in the live broadcast that night. Not only did the length break the record, but the sales volume was also the highest.

However, Wei Yang was still not satisfied, and at the end of the live broadcast, he simply announced that he would pay out of his own pocket and take out 1 million yuan to help support some struggling small and medium-sized enterprises and farmers in Zao City, making this drama of returning home to give back to his hometown more perfect.

The day after the live broadcast, Wei Yang arranged a banquet at a five-star hotel in his hometown and invited relatives to dinner.

Normally, Wei Yang would go back to his hometown in his free time, unless it was a festival or something. If there was no gathering, he would not meet so many relatives at once.

If I count carefully, I realize that we haven't had this kind of gathering for two or three years, and we didn't get together very often before that.

So at this gathering, apart from his cousins, sisters-in-law, brothers-in-law, nephews and nieces, Wei Yang didn't recognize many of them. He even didn't recognize several of his grown-up cousins.

Most of these people were very reserved when they saw Boss Wei, which made Boss Wei feel a little uncomfortable.

Of course, there are also some who are not reserved, such as a cousin from Boss Wei’s aunt’s family.

This kid is the youngest son of my aunt. He is a dozen years younger than Boss Wei, but they are not very familiar with each other and have only met each other many times.

But this cousin had the demeanor of a spirited young man, very outgoing and would stay close to Boss Wei as soon as they met and not move.

She always talks about entering the Internet industry and becoming a big internet celebrity, and she also wants to ask Boss Wei to do live broadcasts to increase his followers.

Later, my uncle-in-law, who couldn't stand it anymore, grabbed me by the collar and dragged me out to deal with me.

Boss Wei was also speechless. Is it so easy to collect the fragments of Cullinan? He might as well flatter his cousin and curry favor with him.

If he gives some support, it's hard to say if he can get a Cullinan, but if he works hard, there's still hope that he can get a Land Cruiser...
