Chapter 1042

Third was investment attraction. Su Xinghui set a goal for investment attraction in Pengjiawanzhen this year, which was to strive for an actual introduced investment amount of over 300 million yuan.

Fourth was per capita income. In 1994, the per capita income in Pengjiawanzhen reached over 800 yuan; in 1995, this figure would strive to reach around 1,100 yuan.

Fifth was infrastructure construction. In 1995, it would strive to renovate the village-level roads in every village, and water conservancy and power facilities would also be further improved.

Sixth was village and town cultural and health construction. One of the town government's work goals in 1995 was to build a village reading room in every village and improve the technical strength and medical facilities of village clinics, so that villagers could receive better medical services.

Su Xinghui's inaugural speech was very pragmatic, without any big, cliché, or empty words. Basically, he proposed very specific data with clear goals. His inaugural speech won enthusiastic applause from the People's Congress representatives in the audience time and again.

Among the target figures Su Xinghui proposed, one figure caught everyone's attention, and that was the figure of over 300 million yuan in investment attraction that Su Xinghui mentioned. This figure happened to be the investment amount of the steel mill that Tian Xiaopeng wanted to introduce. This couldn't help but make everyone let their imaginations run wild: was this Mayor Su wanting to compete with County Magistrate Tian?

It is said that in late February, at the Shangjun County People's Congress, Tian Xiaopeng was also very smoothly elected County Magistrate of Shangjun. Under Zhang Kaishan's strong control, the election did not see any waves, and Tian Xiaopeng's vote rate was also very high.

In his inaugural speech, Tian Xiaopeng also officially proposed some of his governing platforms, one of which was to increase the intensity of investment attraction, implicitly proposing the goal of introducing a large enterprise with an investment of over 300 million yuan. Although he did not explicitly say what kind of enterprise he wanted to introduce, everyone knew he was talking about that steel mill.

Now Su Xinghui had also proposed an investment attraction goal of 300 million yuan in his own inaugural speech, which couldn't help but make everyone generate some associations.

Su Xinghui had made some preparations; he planned to go to Yuedong Province in late March to hold an investment attraction activity, hoping to have some gains from this investment attraction activity.

Just three days after Su Xinghui was smoothly elected town mayor, Yu Ruizhi, Yu Sister Sister Ruoqiu, Chu Zheng, and Han Xiang Dong arrived at Pengjiawanzhen together.

Before they came, they didn't call Su Xinghui. When they arrived at Su Xinghui's office, it really gave Su Xinghui a shock, and immediately he was pleasantly surprised. He stepped forward and shouted: "Brother Yu, Sister Sister Ruoqiu, Brother Xiaowu, Brother Xiang Dong, why are you here? Why didn't you call me before you came?"

Yu Ruizhi laughed loudly and said: "Wouldn't there be no such surprise effect if we called?"

Yu Sister Sister Ruoqiu revealed a gentle smile, a smile that made Su Xinghui feel amazed.

Chu Zheng said: "We came specifically to thank you!"

Su Xinghui smiled and said: "Thank me for what? Did you make money in the postal market?"

Some time ago, Yu Ruizhi had called Su Xinghui, saying that the postal market was soaring. Su Xinghui certainly knew they must have made money, but during this time Yu Ruizhi hadn't called again, and Su Xinghui himself was busy with the town mayor election, so he hadn't called to ask either.

Han Xiang Dong said: "This time we made a big profit! Xinghui, you are truly divine. Just one sentence allowed us all to earn several million."

Su Xinghui smiled and said: "Sit down quickly, I'll brew tea for you."

Su Xinghui brewed four cups of tea and placed them in front of them. Chu Zheng couldn't suppress his joyful mood and said: "Xinghui, you are truly divine. The operation method you taught us was not wrong at all. The money we invested in the postal market has on average multiplied four or five times. Less than three days after we sold everything, the postal market started to plummet again. If we had been a little greedier, we would have been trapped!"

Multiplying four or five times on average—Chu Zheng and Han Xiang Dong had both invested two million. That meant these two million had now become at least over eight million. This investment was truly as cost-effective as it could get; no wonder they were so happy.

Han Xiang Dong sighed: "We have been doing business for several years, and the money we earned over so many years isn't as much as what this one idea of yours allowed us to earn. These years were truly lived in vain. Xinghui, do you have any other money-making ideas? Teach us again."

Yu Sister Sister Ruoqiu scolded: "Brother Monkey, you have really become addicted to getting something for nothing, haven't you? If Xinghui had so many money-making ideas, that would be something. Then everyone wouldn't need to work, just wait to count the money."

Han Xiang Dong cheekily said: "This can't be called getting something for nothing, right? These days I haven't slept well, caring about the postal market trends every day, studying the direction. Now I feel like I've almost become an expert in the postal market. Isn't this also a kind of mental labor?"

Several people laughed loudly. Yu Ruizhi said: "You brat, you got the benefit and are still acting coy. In just over a month, you earned so much money, and you still dare to say you labored?"

Su Xinghui smiled and said: "Brother Monkey, actually this time the opportunity was good. The postal market had just been sluggish for so long, and it was time for a rebound. Next time, who knows how many years it will take to encounter such an opportunity again. It's not certain that one can see it accurately every time. If you do this again next time and lose money, that wouldn't be good."

Su Xinghui was really afraid that after they tasted the sweetness, they would become addicted to the postal market and get lost in it, which wouldn't be very good. Actually, China's postal market is similar to the stock market; it is not a smooth upward process, but an extremely unstable spiral upward process.

With economic development, the prices of those good stamps of course have an overall upward trend, and the magnitude of the rise is very large. For example, when the Monkey Stamp reached its highest point, it could rise several hundred times compared to now, but this process is not smooth. If one encounters a postal market crash, the money earned before will all be lost.

Chu Zheng asked: "Then do you have any other good ways to make money?"

Su Xinghui said: "My meaning is that speculation is not as good as investment now."

Han Xiang Dong said: "Your meaning is that investing in the postal market is speculation, right?"

Su Xinghui nodded and said: "Right, this is speculation. In a situation where you are absolutely certain, you can go in and test the waters, but in a situation where you are not absolutely certain, it is best not to go in. It is best to engage in solid investment like Brother Yu. Although making money is slightly slower, it is steady."

Chu Zheng and Han Xiang Dong both nodded thoughtfully. To tell the truth, the rich harvest in the postal market this time did indeed make their hearts a bit restless. They felt that making money was not difficult. If this mentality continued, it might not necessarily be a good thing for them.

Su Xinghui just wanted to let their restless mentality calm down again. Of course, if there are good opportunities to make quick money in the future, Su Xinghui will still tell them, but in this era, the best and steadiest way to make money is still investing in real industry.

It is still the nineties, and investing in real industry still has great prospects. After they earn enough capital, there will be many good investment opportunities in the future, such as the internet, real estate, and the Asian financial crisis. These once-in-a-thousand-years money-making opportunities are all in Su Xinghui's mind.

Yu Ruizhi said: "I think Xinghui's words make sense. You are just too restless, always unwilling to settle down to engage in real industry. You spend more than you earn. You should be like me, engaging in real industry solidly, and you will definitely be able to get rich in the future."

Chu Zheng sneered: "As if you are much better than us. Haven't you just started engaging in this so-called tourist area in the last two years?"

Han Xiang Dong asked: "Xinghui, then which industry do you think we should invest in?"

Su Xinghui said: "It's a bit too early to say this now. It's almost twelve o'clock. Let's go, I'll treat you to a meal."

Su Xinghui went out with several people, called He Weidong who was driving, and went directly to Chaochao Restaurant. On the way, Su Xinghui said: "The conditions here are limited, not as good as Sister Sister Ruoqiu's private kitchen. Don't take offense!"

Yu Sister Sister Ruoqiu scolded: "You say this as if I don't eat earthly food. Do I have to bring a private kitchen chef when I go out?"

Several people laughed loudly together.

Arriving at Chaochao Restaurant, Su Xinghui asked the boss to open a private room for them. Although Chaochao Restaurant's decoration and furnishings are not luxurious, it has one good point: the boss here is very diligent, the hygiene here has always been kept very well, it looks clean and reassuring, and the taste of the dishes is also good, so whenever Su Xinghui treats guests to a meal, he basically does it here.

After sitting down, Chu Zheng said: "Xinghui, this time coming to your Pengjiawanzhen, it counts as coming to your base camp. You must help me buy a few cases of 30-year-old Pengwan Daqu no matter what. After drinking it last time, I still can't forget it. This time I must bring a few cases back, even if it's a bit expensive, it doesn't matter. My buddy has money now."
