Chapter 1334

Su Xinghui nodded and said, "Yes, it's even poorer here than the Meng Hu Ling of a few years ago. Otherwise, why would I call you brothers over? Everyone has to help me."

Yu Ruizhi said, "That's a must. Just say it, what do you need us to do?"

Su Xinghui said, "You should have seen the situation today. The biggest bottleneck in Changshan County should be transportation. This road coming in is too rotten; good things can't be shipped out, and people from outside find it hard to come in. Actually, Changshan County's scenery is very good, and there are quite a few good things."

Xu Xiaoguang said, "Yes, this road is too rotten, and there are quite a few trucks carrying stones running on the road. Coming here this trip today was truly not easy; there were quite a few times it was truly thrilling."

Hou Wenhai laughed and said, "Xinghui, do you want to build a road?"

Su Xinghui nodded and said, "Yes, I want to build this road from the border of Changshan County and Yulin City to Changshan County town. It's about thirty-some kilometers, and the cost will probably need more than twenty million yuan. But the county can't come up with this capital; it needs financing, guaranteed by the county's fiscal revenue, and will probably be paid off in ten years, including principal and interest."

Hou Wenhai nodded and said, "My grandfather told me about this matter. Our Hou Group can provide this capital."

Su Xinghui said, "Brother Wenhai, then thank you very much!"

Hou Wenhai laughed and said, "What does this count for? It's not free, is it? Isn't it guaranteed by your county's fiscal revenue? And there's interest; our Hou Group originally has this business."

Yu Ruizhi said, "Since Wenhai has provided the capital for building the road, then the charity foundation that Ruoqiu and I run will donate a school to your town, and then donate a library. Later, we'll see the situation and donate some other expenses."

Su Xinghui said, "Has your charity foundation already been registered?"

Registering a charity foundation is not that easy; the procedures are very cumbersome, and it's very difficult for ordinary people to register successfully. But for Yu Ruizhi and his sister to want to run one, it was still much easier than for others.

Yu Ruizhi said, "Yes, it's already registered. These bosses have all donated to our foundation."

Yu Ruizhi pointed to Chu Zheng, Han Xiang Dong, Hou Wenhai, Min Tong, and Feng Yuandong, jokingly calling them bosses. They all said that doing good deeds was what they should do.

Su Xinghui said, "I represent all the common people in our town to thank you for your donations. However, relying solely on donations is not a long-term solution; we still need to develop the economy."

Yu Ruizhi said, "No need to say more, I'll invest here to run a leather factory."

Chu Zheng said, "Old Second Yu, the scenery here is so good, you can also run a tourism industry here. Pull Old Xiang in to run it together. This time, don't you dare leave me and Monkey behind."

Chu Zheng and Han Xiang Dong had always been very jealous of the tourism development company that Yu Ruizhi and Xiang Tianlu ran in Shangjun County, always blaming Yu Ruizhi for not pulling them in to work together at the time. This time, this opportunity, they couldn't miss it again.

Actually, in terms of scenery, Changshan County's scenery is of course even better than Shangjun County's. There isn't much scenery to see on the plains; to see scenery, you have to look at mountains and water. In this aspect, Changshan County has unique advantages. It can be said that many places, as long as they are slightly developed, are very good scenic spots.

If they also ran a tourism development company in Changshan County, the prospects would definitely be better than in Shangjun County. They didn't doubt this at all.

Yu Ruizhi said, "Fine, this time I'll definitely pull you in. But then you have to start raising money now. Running tourism development here will definitely require much more capital than in Shangjun County. I estimate that without one or two hundred million, it won't even be enough to get started."

Yu Ruizhi's judgment was still very accurate. When they ran tourism development in Shangjun County, they invested more than eighty million in the initial stage. Over the past few years, they had invested half of their profits back in, continuing to carry out development, and the cumulative invested capital had already reached more than one hundred million. Changshan County was all mountains, transportation was inconvenient, and infrastructure was much worse than in Shangjun County. Starting with one or two hundred million was still a conservative estimate.

Han Xiang Dong said, "That's no problem. We'll start working hard to raise money now, striving to occupy a bit more shares."

Min Tong said, "I saw quite a few mountain spring waters on the mountains here today. I've tasted those spring waters; they're sweet, and the taste is quite good. I plan to have the factory send technical personnel to test the spring water. If it meets the standards, our factory plans to build a production base here, specializing in producing mineral water. It just so happens that the water output at Xianren Spring is a bit insufficient, and the mineral water we currently produce is in short supply, so we need a new water source."

The Xianren Spring brand mineral water in Min Tong's factory was indeed selling very hotly right now, and it was already in short supply. Relying on this one water source at Xianren Spring, no matter how much they increased production, it wouldn't be enough to supply it. And this kind of mineral water source couldn't be developed without restraint; if they took too much, it would destroy the water source, and that would truly be killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.

Therefore, they were currently looking for a new high-quality mineral water source. If the water source in Matou Town met the requirements, then investing and running a factory here would be killing two birds with one stone: it would both satisfy their need to expand production scale and also help Su Xinghui.

Su Xinghui laughed and said, "Min Tong, you really have business acumen now. You discovered the spring water here as soon as you arrived."

Min Tong said, "I've been in this line of work for three years now. If I didn't even have this bit of sense of smell, what would I be doing?"

Everyone laughed. Su Xinghui said, "Then I'll thank you!"

Min Tong said, "Don't say thank you to me. Aren't we buddies?"

Feng Yuandong said, "Xinghui, if you can develop Chinese medicinal herb planting here, then I can persuade my father to build another production base here. It just so happens that our pharmaceutical factory also needs to expand its production scale. But the raw materials around Shangjun County are no longer enough to support us in expanding our scale."

Xu Xiaoguang said, "Then our family can only come in to bid for building roads and houses."

Yu Ruizhi said, "Mi Xiuyuan and Xie Junqiang, those two, will probably also invest here. I'll talk to them again in the evening."

Everyone just said this casually, and there were quite a few investment projects. Su Xinghui felt moved in his heart, and he laughed and said, "Then I'll thank everyone. I'll toast you a few more glasses of wine in the evening."

Yu Ruizhi laughed and said, "You'd better drink a few glasses less. You drink wine like you're drinking water, with no feeling. I have to pay for that wine money!"

Everyone burst into laughter.
