Chapter 242: Benefiting the World [Seeking Follow-up Reading]

Baoqing City.

This is a populous city in Hunan Province.

However, due to its poor geographical location, it is located in southwestern Hunan, with the Xuefeng Mountain running across the entire area. Most of the area is hilly and there are very few plains. It is very difficult to develop the economy.

First of all, transportation is a big problem.

The only branch railway line was built because of the state-owned coal mine in Zhao County. A large amount of coal was discovered underground here, and in order to transport the coal, a railway was needed.

So this railway branch line now looks very interesting.

It was like someone was walking and suddenly split his legs, drawing a thin line from the originally planned Beijing-Guangzhou line, passing Zhaoxian County and the state-owned coal mine, and then a station was built on the edge of the city, less than ten or twenty kilometers away from the state-owned coal mine. This station became the terminal station, a dead-end station.

It's just a name.

However, in reality, it is qualified for freight transportation. At least the state-owned coal mines export coal abroad in large quantities, but for passenger transportation, there are very few routes opened.

The people of Baoqing City did not get much benefit from it.

In Lu Yang's memory, this broken railway, a branch line that was built less than ten years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, had to wait until the new millennium, and then until the ten years after the new millennium, before it was slowly changed. Finally, there was a railway line running through the entire territory. Finally, this railway line no longer had to be called a dead-end road, and it began to truly benefit the travel of ordinary people in the city.

Lu Yang parked his car on the curb outside the train station.

Think of this incident.

I couldn't help but shake my head. Although I wanted to, I was powerless.

The planning of railway lines involves many aspects and is a top priority for the country. How much energy does it take for a businessman to influence its planning and make his hometown have a railway that runs through the entire territory decades in advance according to his own will?
I don’t dare to think about it! I don’t dare to think about it!

Let's be more practical and try to open a few more large-scale physical factories in my hometown so that the people in my hometown don't have to go south to coastal cities to work if they want to make some money, as they did before my rebirth. They work hard all year round, and the little money they earn is spent on the travel expenses to go home for the Spring Festival. Even the children at home have become left-behind children.

But what if you could work right at your doorstep?

It’s still not less than what you can earn by working in the coastal areas in the south.

What will happen?
Have I made a contribution to the people of my hometown?
That is required.

Lu Yang nodded affirmatively. There were no outsiders here, so he couldn't tell anyone about this idea.

I have to give myself a thumbs up, just as a encouragement.

"Woooooo ...

The sound of a train whistle came from afar.

Is there a train coming into the station?

Lu Yang raised his watch, checked the time, and found that it was almost time. After getting off the bus, he walked towards the platform.

He didn't plan to be high-profile this time when he picked someone up.

He even saw the Municipal Party Committee's car and Deputy Market Director Xu's driver just now.

But he didn't even go over to say hello.

Because there were reporters present, it seemed that the Investment Promotion Bureau of the Municipal Party Committee had made a lot of efforts to welcome the return of the business delegation. They organized students, held flowers and hung banners, and prepared to line the streets to welcome them later.

Why would Lu Yang join in the fun?

Let's observe and see.

I'll find an opportunity later to say hello to Vice Mayor Xu and pick up Brother Jiang Wanli.

Then the merit will be complete.

All courtesy has been fulfilled.

If you have any business to discuss, you can talk about it slowly tomorrow when everyone is free.

Lu Yang has a good idea.

He did exactly that. After slipping into the platform and blending in with the crowd, he witnessed with his own eyes the train arriving at the station. After Deputy Mayor Xu and a group of business delegation members got off the train, they were surrounded by a group of students who had been arranged and lined up neatly. They held up banners and lined the streets to welcome them.

These scenes that Lu Yang thought could only be seen in TV dramas actually happened in reality.

Lu Yang even wanted to complain: Oh my god, if you don’t know, you would think that this is someone who won an Olympic gold medal, or the head of state of some country. Otherwise, should you arrange for someone to go up and present flowers?
Just thought of this...

Result: Wow, it really exists.

Speaking of Cao Cao, Lu Yang saw with his own eyes a little boy wearing a red scarf holding a bunch of wild chrysanthemums picked from somewhere, and presented them to Jiang Wanli, the elder brother next to Deputy Mayor Xu.

Lu Yang didn’t know whether Jiang Wanli looked embarrassed or not.

But he was already dying of embarrassment at this moment.

Because it was discovered.

There is a type of person whose temperament is incompatible with ordinary people. Such a person may be powerful or rich, or may have both power and money. But in short, as long as he stands among ordinary people, he will stand out from the crowd.

"Boss Lu is here, everyone please make way and let Boss Lu come in."

"Yes, it's him, the young Boss Lu. He is not only a successful businessman, but also a very caring entrepreneur. The Chief Engineer Jiang Wanli next to me was invited by Boss Lu."

"What are you inviting me to do?"

"Let me keep you in suspense for now, Boss Lu, how about you tell everyone about it?"

A city government worker: "Everyone welcome, applause!"

"Clap clap clap clap..."

Deputy Mayor Xu is very good at handling things.

He called Lu Yang to his side and gave him a chance to speak, although Lu Yang might not want this opportunity.

Because not much money was donated in total.

There are less than ten color TV subtitle machines, including a full set of equipment, and the total cost is less than 60,000 or 70,000 yuan. Is it necessary to make such a big scene?

What Lu Yang is actually more concerned about now is the results of this Canton Fair.

Specifically speaking, for a certain unit or company, that is, your own garment factory, how many orders have you signed during the Canton Fair? How many US dollar deposits have you received? If you can complete all the orders, how much US dollar foreign exchange can you earn?
It's obviously a very simple question.

There are obviously more meaningful things to do than this donation of less than 10 yuan.

Lu Yang's mouth was blocked.

Never mind, now that we are here, there is no need to rush.

Think of this.

Lu Yang first shook hands with Brother Jiang Wanli, who also looked embarrassed.

"Thanks for your hard work."

"Welcome to Baoqing, the city at the foot of Xuefeng Mountain."

After saying hello.

Lu Yang turned around, knowing that he had to say something at this point.

So he put his hands down and asked the students to stop clapping. He felt embarrassed to applaud so much, facing those innocent eyes.

He took a breath and said, "Classmates, I remember that there is only one higher education college in Baoqing, and that is Baoqing Teachers College. I believe that all of you are students of Baoqing Teachers College and will become teachers after graduation."

“As a teacher, the most important thing is the teacher’s morality.”

"As for me, I am only a few years older than you, and my education level is not very high, so I really don't have much to say to you."

"But here is a saying, originally from Mencius: 'If you are poor, you should take care of yourself; if you are rich, you should help the world.'"

"Lu Yang is not talented enough to claim to be great, but I am willing to contribute to the benefit of the world."

"Here, I announce that on behalf of our Meisite Garment Factory, we will donate a batch of color TV subtitle machines worth 10 yuan to the city, and invite the most advanced manufacturer of color TV subtitle machines in our country, Anhui Modern TV Electronic Technology Company, General Manager and Chief Engineer Jiang Wanli and his team to visit our Baoqing City."

"Next, we will ask Chief Engineer Jiang Wanli and his team to install these color TV subtitle machines in our city-level, county-level, major people's hospitals and central hospitals, so that they can serve the people and improve the registration speed and medical treatment process of our Baoqing people."

"And this is also the example I set for my classmates. Students, remember: "If you are poor, you should take care of yourself; if you are rich, you should help the world." Remember this sentence, keep it, and you will keep the moral bottom line of your future life in society. Thank you, I'm done."

I can come up with so many words.

He said it in one breath and so fluently. Really, I have to thank certain audio platforms in later generations. I have seen and watched a lot, so I am brave enough to say it out loud.

Otherwise, if it weren't for the decades of memories of rebirth, Lu Yang would not have the courage to say all the words above even if he was beaten to death.
