The world of film and television begins from childhood

"it is good."

Of course Qiu Yingjie wouldn't mind. He even hoped that Zhou Chen would get closer to Xu Ruijie so that Xu Ruijie would have a greater chance of staying and investing.

Zhou Chen and Xu Ruijie were sitting in the car. Xu Ruijie asked with a smile, "How was my performance just now?"

Zhou Chen said calmly: "Not bad."

"As expected of the boss, you have high requirements."

Xu Ruijie was not originally from Hong Kong. Instead, he fled to Hong Kong with his parents more than 20 years ago and later settled down in Hong Kong.

Although Xu Ruijie always smiles and looks unserious in front of Zhou Chen, he is actually a top student who graduated from Hong Kong University and majored in law.

This is also the main reason why Zhou Chen was confident in letting him represent himself and return to Hong Kong and the mainland.

Originally, he didn't want to run back and forth so hard, but when Zhou Chen mentioned the annual salary, plus the dividends, he immediately agreed.

With the help of Xu Ruijie, a legal professional, Zhou Chen is not too worried about encountering any traps when doing business in his absence.

As for Xu Ruijie's credibility, Zhou Chen had naturally considered this a long time ago. If he didn't trust him, he would not have entrusted these important matters to him.

Xu Ruijie soon met Xie Shuji, and both sides greeted each other very friendly. Then Xie Shuji took Xu Ruijie to a restaurant for a simple meal.

During the dinner, Xie Shuji and Qiu Yingjie tried to ask Xu Ruijie about this investment indirectly, but Xu Ruijie was very smart and said a lot of nice things, but most of them were evasive and he didn't give any details at all, which made Xie Shuji and Qiu Yingjie feel uneasy.

Finally, Zhou Chen took the initiative to speak up and said that he would take Xu Ruijie to travel around Yiwu and conduct some inspection in the next few days.

Xie Shuji was not in a hurry. He was anxious to get Xu Ruijie to stay and invest, and he also cared very much about the foreign exchange that Xu Ruijie had, but he was still cunning.

If you want people to invest, you must let them investigate first. It is impossible for them to invest directly when they have just arrived and have not seen anything.

Xie Shuji could not accept this kind of investment. What he wanted was sustainable development investment, not a one-time one.

If a foreign businessman comes to invest for the first time and leaves with nothing, and this gets out, who will dare to invest in Yiwu in the future?

So attracting investment is important, but Yiwu’s reputation is more important.

After having dinner with Xie Shuji and resting for a while, Qiu Yingjie accompanied Zhou Chen and Xu Ruijie to go out for inspection.

This time, Qiu Yingjie did not take the county bus, but took Xu Ruijie's car.

Qiu Yingjie is a native of Yiwu and has been working here for half a year, so he is naturally very familiar with Yiwu.

Under his leadership, Zhou Chen and his friends visited many places in Yiwu in the next few days, basically visiting several towns.

Some places that have no investment reference value are naturally just taken a look and left, while some places that seem to have investment potential are paid special attention to.

A few days passed, and although Qiu Yingjie tried many times to find out information from Xu Ruijie, no matter how he asked, Xu Ruijie just responded with a smile, saying that this place is good, that place is good too, but he did not reveal a single word of substantive content.

Qiu Yingjie had no power to defend himself from this bone-dissolving palm strike.

In the evening, Zhou Chen came to Luo Yuzhu and had dinner with her.

During dinner, Luo Yuzhu suddenly asked him curiously, "Zhou Chen, I saw you and Qiu Yingjie accompanying a big boss to our market a few days ago. I heard from people in the market that the big boss seemed to be from Hong Kong and was planning to invest here. Is this true or not?"

Zhou Chen smiled and replied: "You people in the market are well-informed. He is indeed a boss from Hong Kong and he does want to invest, but there is no word yet on whether it can be finalized."

"Oh, I just asked casually. Anyway, whether the big boss from Hong Kong invests or not, it has no impact on us."

Luo Yuzhu was simply curious and never thought about what benefits Hong Kong people investing in their county could bring to her.

Zhou Chen smiled mysteriously: "That's not necessarily true."

Luo Yuzhu's eyes lit up, and she asked expectantly, "Did you hear any gossip? Could it be that the big boss from Hong Kong knows you?"

"You guessed it right. We knew each other when we were in Hong Kong. It was me who persuaded him to invest this time."

"really?"

"of course it's true."

"That's great."

Luo Yuzhu looked very happy, Zhou Chen asked: "What's good about it?"

"Of course, you are the one who brought the boss from Xiangjiang here. If he invests here, the county will owe you a favor, and it will be much easier for you to do anything in the future."

Zhou Chen found it a little funny. Luo Yuzhu's ideas were a little naive and simple, but this was normal. At her current stage, she had too little exposure and naturally lacked a lot of vision and experience.

A few days later, after inspecting for a long time, Xu Ruijie felt that the time was about right, so he asked Qiu Yingjie to make an appointment with Xie Shuji to discuss the investment plan in detail.

In order to demonstrate professionalism, Xu Ruijie also specially called a small team of five people to negotiate with the team sent by the county.

Although both parties were willing to reach a cooperation, each wanted to gain greater benefits, so differences arose shortly after the negotiations began.

So, in the following period of time, the two sides gave each other information, talked about difficulties, expressed their determination, etc., which caused the cooperation negotiations to be deadlocked for a long time. Finally, the cooperation was finally reached after both sides took a step back.

The investment project is that within the next year and a half, Xu Ruijie will build a small commodity trade city integrating wholesale and retail around Chenjia Town, and within three years, he will build several residential buildings around the trade city.

In order to support Xu Ruijie's real estate projects, the county has provided its greatest support and will mobilize all forces to support them as soon as construction begins.

After Xu Ruijie achieved his goal, he readily took out a portion of the foreign exchange and handed it over to the county. At the same time, if he had any financial problems in the future, he could also apply for a loan from a local bank, and the county would give him the green light.

After discussing the matter, Xu Ruijie left first on the grounds that he had other matters to deal with in Hong Kong, and told Xie Shuji to let Zhou Chen represent him in implementing the plan.

Xu Ruijie's decision made Xie Shuji and others overjoyed. Compared with Xu Ruijie, who is from Hong Kong, they would definitely prefer to deal with Zhou Chen, who is also a local.

In their opinion, Zhou Chen was a local and must be on their side. They did not expect to gain any big advantage. As long as Zhou Chen could show a little bit of favoritism, it would be of great benefit to them.

Zhou Chen returned to Chenjia Village, and before he even got home, he saw a large group of people gathered in front of his uncle Chen Jinshui's house.

These people were all from the same village. When they saw Zhou Chen coming, they greeted him enthusiastically.

"Zhou Chen, you're back. Have you eaten yet? If not, come to your uncle's house and ask your aunt to prepare some snacks and we can have a couple of drinks."

"What are you drinking? It's only this time and all you know is drinking."

"Zhou Chen, I heard that you and that big boss from Hong Kong..."

"that…………"

Everyone spoke at the same time, mumbling a lot, but Zhou Chen also understood roughly why they came here today.

They simply heard the news from somewhere that he knew the big boss from Hong Kong and would be in charge of the project here on behalf of the big boss from Hong Kong, so they all came here to curry favor with him and see if they could get some benefits.

Facing these people, although Zhou Chen kept smiling, he was determined not to give in, because he knew the character of these people very well.

It’s not that they have bad human nature, but once they agree to one person, it will be a big deal and all the people will come forward.

The most important thing is that if he relies on these people to help him do things, everything will be ruined.

He remembered very clearly how these people tricked Chen Jianghe in the TV series, so how could he be willing to provoke them?

In the end, Chen Jinshui came out and drove everyone away with a very tough attitude.

Chen Jinshui pulled Zhou Chen into the house and closed the door.

"Xiaochen, leave them alone."

Although Chen Jinshui himself is a member of Chenjia Village and the leader of Chenjia Village, it does not mean that he is responsible for everyone in Chenjia Village.

What Zhou Chen is going to do this time is a big thing. He knows the importance of things, so he will not let these people ruin Zhou Chen's big thing, even if he has to be the bad guy.

If it were Chen Jianghe, he might not be so tough, mainly because although Chen Jianghe was his adopted son, he had eaten a lot of food from other families when he was a child. Many families in Chenjia Village were grateful to Chenjiahe.

But Zhou Chen is different. He has lived in Chenjia Village for more than two years, and he has always lived in his own home. He has no relationship with other people in Chenjia Village and does not owe anyone any favors, so he does not have to worry so much.

"Uncle, don't worry, I know what's going on."

"Second brother." "Brother."

Chen Jianghe and Qiaogu happened to be at home. When they saw Zhou Chen coming in, they both greeted him happily.

Several people sat down at the table, and Chen Jianghe took the initiative to ask, "Second brother, I heard from Brother Qiu that this time, the investment of the big boss from Hong Kong will be fully handled by you?"

Zhou Chen said: "He is not in full charge. He will learn about it remotely and come to visit occasionally. We mostly communicate by phone. So, what do you think?"

Chen Jianghe shook his head and said, "I don't have any idea. I don't know much about building a house."

Zhou Chen said: "Although you don't understand building a house, you can do other things, such as buying cement, bricks and tiles, etc. Aren't these things what you are good at?"

"Can you leave this to me?"

Chen Jianghe was overjoyed, but after a few seconds of joy, he shook his head again: "Forget it, second brother, I know you want to help me, but this matter is too big and the amount is too large. I may not be able to negotiate it alone."

The materials used to build houses are different from other small commodities that are difficult to promote. They are all in short supply. It is impossible for him to negotiate any big discounts alone.

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "You seem to be quite clear-headed. Why don't you come work for me and learn something at the same time?"

Chen Jianghe said: "It's fine to learn, but I don't care about following you. I would rather do business in the small commodity market than building a house."

Zhou Chen understood. He knew that Chen Jianghe had been traveling all over the country in the past few years and must have paid attention to many things, but the one he paid the most attention to must be transactions related to small commodities and department stores, and he had accumulated a lot of experience.

If he is suddenly asked to change his career now, he will definitely not be happy.

"Then I won't force you. If you need my help in the future, you must ask. We are brothers, understand?"

"Of course, second brother, if I get into trouble in the future, I will definitely come to you." Chen Jianghe said with a smile.

When Zhou Chen and Chen Jianghe were talking, Chen Jinshui never interrupted them. He had no intention of interfering in the affairs of the two children and let them make their own decision.

Zhou Chen looked at Qiaogu again: "Qiaogu, you are also nineteen years old this year, right?"

Qiaogu replied coquettishly: "Well, brother, I am nineteen years old."

"You're nineteen now and can go to work. When the construction starts, you can go with me and help me. How about that?"

"Me? No, I can't. I don't know how to do anything."

When Qiaogu heard this, she was so frightened that she waved her hands repeatedly.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 784: One Year, Preparing for Marriage

Qiaogu is a girl who grew up in the countryside. Just like her name, she is a genuine country girl.

If you ask her to do farm work in the village, fetch water, cook, wash clothes and scrub pots, she will have absolutely no problem and will definitely be able to do it very well.

But when you asked her to go out to work, Qiaogu's first reaction was fear. She was afraid that she would not do the job well, so she did not dare to agree.

Chen Jinshui, the head of the family, said directly: "Xiaochen, what can Qiaogu do? Don't let her interfere with your work. Just do your work and ignore her."

Qiaogu, who was originally nervous and afraid, but also a little expectant, suddenly fell in expression when she heard her father say this.

But she didn't dare to say anything. Chen Jinshui was the head of the family, and she and her mother could only obey his orders.

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Uncle, Qiaogu can do a lot of things. Even if there are things she can't do, it's just because she has never been exposed to them before. It doesn't mean she can't learn. Qiaogu is my sister. If I don't take care of her, who else can I take care of? Don't worry, when the time comes, leave Qiaogu to me. I will definitely not treat her badly."

"this?"

Chen Jinshui stopped smoking and looked at his daughter who was full of anticipation and nervousness. Thinking about it carefully, his daughter was indeed not young anymore. If she stayed in the village, she would really be a country girl for the rest of her life.

Although he always felt that it was the right thing for women to stay at home to cook and take care of children, if his daughter could have better choices, he would certainly want better for his daughter too.

If it were someone else, he would definitely be worried, but if it was Zhou Chen, it would be different.

His nephew is a very capable person. If his daughter can be cultivated by Zhou Chen, it will definitely be much better than staying in the village.

"Xiaochen, can Qiaogu really do it?"

"Of course, as long as I take care of her, there will be no problem."

Zhou Chen was very confident. Whether before or after construction, there were plenty of places to arrange people. He could easily find a simple, safe job that did not require much professional expertise for Qiaogu to do.

Chen Jianghe also advised: "Yes, uncle, just let Qiaogu follow the second brother. Who else can the second brother cheat? How dare he cheat you?"

"Hey, you brat."

Chen Jinshui knocked Chen Jianghe on the head, causing everyone to laugh.

Finally, it was decided that after the construction site started, Qiaogu would go over to help Zhou Chen.

In fact, there is no need to hire a designer to build a small commodity trade city. Zhou Chen can do it alone, not to mention those simple several-story buildings, which can be built by any slightly professional engineering team.

Although Zhou Chen was in charge, before starting work, Zhou Chen still asked Xu Ruijie to arrange a team to come over to be responsible for communication and handover with the county. He did not have so much free time to do those things every day.

After the start of work, Qiaogu was assigned a job by Zhou Chen, which was to be Zhou Chen's assistant. Although she was called an assistant, she was actually just there to learn. Zhou Chen didn't expect her to share any of his work.

But it cannot be said that Qiaogu was useless. At least in the office, she did a very good job of serving water and tea to Zhou Chen.

In the blink of an eye, it was the Spring Festival of 83.

Zhou Chen naturally spent the Spring Festival with Chen Jinshui and the others, but after lunch, Zhou Chen and Chen Jianghe left.

Zhou Chen stopped living in Chenjia Village a few months ago. Instead, he rented a house near the construction site and lived there most of the time. Sometimes, when Qiaogu didn't want to travel back and forth, she would stay at Zhou Chen's place.
