The three brothers of the Meng family who were moving things over there saw that Ma Wencai was so happy with the cigarette party, so they came over to help. As a result, more and more villagers came after hearing the news, including both smokers and non-smokers.
It’s not fancy enough at all, but luckily Marvin was prepared in advance. There wasn’t much else in the trunk of his car, but a lot of high-end tobacco and alcohol!
As a result, this group sent out ten soft-boxed Greater China. Calculated at a price of 700 yuan a piece, ten pieces were worth 7,000 yuan! As soon as they made the move, they gave out a "red envelope" of 7,000 yuan. Meng Jishui and Meng Xiunong on the side looked at it secretly.
Shockingly, although they didn't know whether Meng Hu or Ma Wencai bought these cigarettes, even if they belonged to Ma Wencai, it was enough to show that his relationship with Meng Hu was extraordinary.
Looking at the high-end gifts that could barely fit in the room, Meng Xiunong's wife Zhang Yuee was elated, proud and happy. She was thinking proudly: This time our family finally has a wealthy relative! Of course, Meng Jiaqiang and Meng Jiabao brothers
The two of them and their wives were also filled with pride and joy.
But Meng Jishui was frightened by the room full of valuable gifts. Although he could not recognize them all, he conservatively estimated that the value would not be less than 100,000 yuan!
"Ahu, it would be nice if we came back. Why buy so many things? It's too expensive." Meng Jishui scolded.
"It's not a waste, it's not a waste, uncle, these things are not worth much. Except for Wencai and Ziyou, my father and eldest brother asked me to bring them. They said they were to honor your old uncle." Meng Hu said disapprovingly. He was not lying.
, the money to buy gifts is really nothing to him.
"This... forget it, don't buy so many things next time." Meng Jishui smiled bitterly and said, his nephews and grandnephews are filial, so they can't be blamed.
"Ahu, why don't your parents and your brother come back together this time? It would be better if they come back, and we will be reunited as a family." After seeing the gift, the smile on Zhang Yuee's face became wider, and she asked
The problem is exactly what Meng Jishui is concerned about.
"My dad hasn't been feeling well recently, and my mom has to take care of him, and my brother can't leave because he's busy with work, but they both said that after I understand the situation in my hometown, they will come back together next time." Meng Hu laughed.
road.
…
The dinner was very rich, including chickens, ducks, geese, tofu, vegetables, etc., and they were all raised in my own home or in the homes of neighbors. They were definitely not green food grown with feed or chemical fertilizers. The ducks and geese were donated by neighbors on their own initiative.
Come. For Meng Hu, who is used to eating American food, these foods are simply delicacies on earth, and he eats them with relish.
In such a happy occasion, wine is naturally indispensable. Meng Jiabao likes drinking very much and has a good capacity for drinking. When it comes to drinking, he is the first to suggest drinking foreign wine because he has not drunk foreign wine and wants to eat foreign meat. He
Meng Jishui's words made Meng Jishui glare, but Meng Hu didn't care and immediately opened a three-pound bottle of Martell Cordon Bleu.
When you meet a close friend, a thousand glasses of wine are too little. Meng Jiaqiang and Meng Jiabao are both good drinkers, which suits Meng Hu's appetite. Naturally, the three brothers clinked glasses together. Of course, at such a happy moment, Meng Jishui and Meng Xiunong's father and son also
They drank a lot. As for Long Ziyou and Ma Wencai, they also drank a lot under the care of the three Meng brothers.
In the end, two three-pound bottles of Cordon Bleu were consumed in just one drink. This was because Long Ziyou and Ma Wencai didn’t open their bellies to drink, otherwise two bottles would have been enough. The stamina of foreign wine is very strong, and those who drank the most
The three brothers of the Meng family were drunk, and they were talking and singing with their arms around each other. Seeing that Meng Hu had such a good relationship with his two grandsons and got along so harmoniously, Meng Jishui felt very happy.
After dinner, Ma Wencai left his car with Meng Hu, got into Long Ziyou's car, and went to the town to open a house.
Du Wenwu drove around the town twice and finally found a hotel that Ma Wencai nodded to. There was no way, these places were no better than cities, so Ma Wencai could only make do with it.
At eight o'clock the next morning, Meng Hu drove Ma Wencai's off-road vehicle and took his cousin out to meet Ma Wencai and Long Ziyou for breakfast.
"Fat man, Ziyou, please give me some advice on how to deal with the piece of ebony at my uncle's house better." Not long after breakfast started, Meng Hu asked Ma Wencai and Long Ziyou what the domestic laws and regulations were.
He didn't know the environment clearly, so he naturally wanted to consult the two people for their opinions.
Just after getting up this morning, Meng Jishui told Meng Hu in detail how the Meng family discovered Wu Mu and the current dispute, and then asked Meng Hu to come forward to help resolve the matter. Meng Hu agreed immediately without saying a word.
It was only because he didn't know much about domestic laws and situations that he dared to agree so readily.
"Ahu, wouldn't you agree to help your uncle's family?" Long Ziyou asked with a wry smile. It's not that he refused to help, but because of his status, it was really inconvenient for him to intervene in this matter.
"Yes, what? Is there any problem? Ziyou." Meng Hu nodded.
"Ahu, don't get me wrong. It's not that Ziyou doesn't want to help you, but it's because of his status that it's inconvenient for him to help you, so he still leaves this matter to me. But first, let's talk about the relationship between the law and the system.
I'm not absolutely sure that I can keep that ebony in your Meng family." Ma Wencai understood Long Ziyou's difficulties, so he immediately responded.
Meng Hu was not stupid. Thinking of Long Ziyou's status as an official, it was indeed inconvenient for him to help him, so he didn't take offense. "Don't worry, Ziyou, I understand your difficulties. In fact, I only want you and Fatty to guide me behind the scenes."
Just do whatever you want."
What does Ahu's young friend do? Hearing what Ma Wencai and Meng Hu said, the Meng family brothers couldn't help but become curious about Long Ziyou's identity. Meng Hu didn't introduce it to the Meng family last night
To clarify the identities of Long Ziyou and Ma Wencai, they simply introduced that one of them worked in Beiling City and the other worked in the provincial capital.
"I can still help with things like giving ideas." Long Ziyou smiled. He didn't need to worry about giving ideas behind his back.
"Ziyou, please give me some advice." Meng Hu said impatiently.
Seeing the Meng brothers and Ma Wencai's eyes turning to his face, Long Ziyou smiled bitterly in his heart. He was carried on the shelf, and he couldn't even think about making a fool of himself. In fact, regarding the Meng family's piece of ebony, Long Ziyou yesterday
He thought about it for a long time before going to bed because he had a premonition that he and Marvin would be involved.
After sorting out his thoughts last night, Long Ziyou said slowly: "Ahu, actually it's best for you to come forward in this matter, with Brother Ma as your assistant, because your overseas Chinese identity is the best weapon..."
"My identity is the best weapon? How do you say this?" Meng Hu pointed at his nose and asked a little confused.
Long Ziyou smiled bitterly. He didn't know how to explain it to Meng Hu. Should he tell him the social reality of "first-class foreigners, second-class officials, third-class minorities and fourth-class Hans"? It's embarrassing to say it!
Ma Wencai naturally understood what Long Ziyou meant, but he couldn't say it out loud. However, this did not trouble him. He explained for Long Ziyou: "Ziyou means that our domestic government particularly respects foreign businessmen."
Or a foreigner, as long as you reveal your identity, the Shimen Town Government will immediately respect you a lot, so it will be a lot more convenient for you to come forward to handle this matter."
"That's what I mean." Long Ziyou nodded a little sweatily.
"Oh..." Meng Hu nodded as if he understood.
"After revealing your identity, Ahu, you then expressed your interest in returning to your hometown to invest. In order to show your sincerity, you first built the road from your village to the town..."
"That's no problem, I just have this idea." Meng Hu had no objection at all to building roads. He even had this idea yesterday.
"Haha, if you really repair this road, the next things will be easier to handle," Long Ziyou smiled, "Then you can talk about the ebony thing, you can directly contact the local government
Officials expressed that they are interested in building an ebony museum in Mengjia Village for everyone to visit. In this way, they can keep the ebony in Mengjia and find a way to make money. If they develop a tourism project in line with the surrounding environment,
That would be better."
"Ziyou, you officials are so smart. It didn't take you long to come up with such a way to kill two birds with one stone. I'm really impressed by you!" Ma Wencai praised with a smile.
It turns out that this handsome guy is an official! The Meng brothers were muttering in their hearts.
"Okay, Ziyou, I will do it according to your method." Meng Hu nodded. Ma Wencai already recognized Long Ziyou's method, so naturally it won't be any worse.
"And we can reveal this matter to the media first and make the Ebony thing a hot topic. Then... hehe, we can save a lot of advertising money." Long Ziyou continued to give instructions.
"Take one step, think five steps, and count all the tricks. Ziyou, you are born to be an official!" Ma Wencai gave a thumbs up and praised.
Meng Hu was a very straightforward person, and he had to do what he decided to do. After returning to the village after breakfast, he immediately told Meng Jishui the method suggested by Long Ziyou. At first, Meng Jishui did not agree, saying that the cost was too high.
When it got older, it was no different than buying ebony, but Meng Hu insisted, saying that this was the best way, and that he really wanted to return to his hometown to build roads and invest in order to change the backwardness of his hometown. Only then did Meng Jishui agree.
The secretary of the town committee of Shimen Town is Lin Lanxin, and the mayor is Shi Jingquan. Yesterday, Shi Jingquan took action in person, but the Meng family still had no intention of giving in, so Lin Lanxin decided to take action in person today. If the Meng family
If he doesn't know what is good, he will take tough measures
He finally discovered such a treasure, so he couldn't miss it. Moreover, he also had strong confidence, because ebony had been discovered in other parts of the country and was eventually nationalized. With such a precedent, he was naturally not afraid.
