Chapter 1312 A Little Kindness
Seeing that Chen Chuan kept picking and didn't seem to find anything he was satisfied with, Xi Chen pointed to the other side and asked, "Do you want to go take a look there?"
He was referring to the back of the wine rack.
"I went to a mountainous province before and found an ancient village. There is an old spring deep in the mountains there. The water quality is very good. The whole village has made a living by brewing wine for generations, and they use ancient brewing techniques. The wine tastes very mellow and clear, and it tastes different from the wine on the market."
Chen Chuan turned around and saw that the cabinet was lined with small wine jars, all shiny and bright.
As soon as the mud seal was removed, the rich aroma of wine immediately filled the air.
It also has a faint fragrance that goes straight into your nose, which is very special.
The clever assistant quickly brought out the wine dispenser and poured a small cup for each of the bosses. Chen Chuan took a sip.
"Give me one hundred and eighty jars of this wine."
"puff!"
The wine in Xi Chen's mouth sprayed out directly!
"You must be kidding! I don't even have a hundred jars here, and I'll give you eight hundred and ten!"
"You've opened your winery, why are you so stingy as to give me some wine?"
"Fuck, how did you know that?" Xi Chen wiped his mouth in embarrassment: "Where did I reveal my identity?"
Chen Chuan looked at him strangely: "Didn't you just say that?"
"How can I..."
He just introduced the origin of the wine. Where did he say that he was going to open a winery?
"As for you, Xi Chen, you grew up in a wealthy place, where are you surrounded by gold and jade?"
"so what?"
"The conditions in an ancient village deep in the mountains of a mountainous province can't be much better, right?"
When Chen Chuan mentioned this, Xi Chen seemed to think of something unpleasant, and his expression became a little...ugly.
“Are there dry toilets?”
"Stop talking, stop talking! Yes, I opened a winery there!"
Xi Chen confessed everything instantly. Although the village cadres had tried their best to provide him with the best conditions, but... those who understand will understand.
I have never seen such a horrible scene in my life. I went to the toilet and there were animals all down there, real animals, wriggling.
Xi Chen still has nightmares.
Although the conditions are really bad, the drinks are really good.
Xi Chen directly invested hundreds of millions of yuan to help them build roads and factories. If this project is done well, it will not only drive local economic development and employment, but also create a new wine brand.
Xi Chen took a tissue and wiped his mouth. "Come to think of it, I was inspired by you to go there for investigation this time."
Chen Chuan, a miser, actually built ten primary schools in remote mountain villages in the name of Sister Caibao, and provided free lunch.
In addition, it has donated living expenses from elementary school to junior high school, and tuition fees from high school to university to thousands of girls from poor families.
In short, I hope that more children from backward mountain villages, especially girls, will have the opportunity to leave the mountains and change their destiny through studying.
For this purpose, Chen Chuan set up a foundation to handle all donation matters, hired someone to take care of it, and handed it over to Jiuxiao for supervision.
After all, Jiuxiao has a complete supervision and management system, which was personally established by Chen Chuan, so he is very relieved.
No one should think of embezzling a penny of his money, especially the money donated in the name of treasure. Every penny should be used for the people who should use it.
It was inspired by Chen Chuan that Xi Chen thought of going to remote areas to seek some cooperation opportunities, which could not only help the local people get rid of P, but also explore multiple ways out for the group and achieve a win-win situation.
This ancient village is his new project completed years ago.
Nowadays, many ancient villages like to engage in tourism, thinking that the smoke-free industry can make huge profits.
They cultivated some fields and water, tidied up the house, and then waited for tourists to come and collected money.
In fact, among the tens of thousands of ancient villages in China, the ones with prosperous tourism are always those with convenient transportation and good accommodation facilities.
Some hotels in villages even cost thousands of yuan more than five-star hotels in cities.
Just like a certain small country, a fart can cause the whole country to collapse, so why is their tourism industry so developed?
Is it because of the outstanding tourism resources?
Many people go there just to enjoy modern city services and shopping experiences.
Ancient villages like yours have poor transportation conditions. People will never want to go there again after visiting them once. What about tourism? You dream faster.
The best way for remote mountain villages is to develop their own characteristic industries and generate their own income.
Only when the village economy develops, the infrastructure improves, and there is hope, can young people be retained and the village avoids becoming a hollow village or a left-behind village.
Of course, as to what industries to develop, or whether not all villages can have their own characteristic industries, this is another complex issue.
For Xi Chen, of course he would choose a village with development conditions, after all, he is a businessman.
While doing charity, we must also ensure our own profits.
For example, the village he chose this time, although it has poor transportation conditions, is located deep in the mountains, has a backward economy, and the younger generation has all gone out to work, leaving only the elderly and children in the village.
There is not even a decent school in the village, and children have to walk for more than two hours along the mountain road to go to school in the town.
Even if they have good spring water and good winemaking technology, without young people and good transportation conditions, every household can only produce and drink their own wine. At most, they can carry some to sell at the market in town to earn some living expenses, but it is basically impossible to form an industry.
Xi Chen also conducted extensive investigations and completed several rounds of feasibility reports before finally deciding on the project.
Starting a winery is not an easy task.
The first thing to do is to build the road.
That's not just a hundred meters or a kilometer, it's a winding mountain road, and the money spent on it is really not a small amount. The voices of opposition in the group became louder.
Will shareholders agree to a project that may not see returns in three to five years?
They invest to live a wealthy life themselves, not to help others get rich. If they like to do charity, they can just donate some money and it's tax-free.
Whether this kind of winery makes money or not is a matter of several years. They only like immediate benefits and don't like long-term investments.
There has been a lot of opposition, so Xi Chen has been quite troubled recently.
He told Chen Chuan about it, and Chen Chuan sneered: "Although the group belongs to your Xi family, now the group is not controlled by you alone. Don't push all the affairs of the group into the group."
Xi Chen looked at him: "What do you mean..."
"Since you think this is more of a charity than a profit, why don't you use your own money to do it?"
Why complicate simple things?
"I……"
"Although the group's surname is Xi, not all the money earned belongs to the Xi family. You are responsible for the shareholders. But others cannot interfere with your personal investment behavior. Or do you have no money to invest?"
