Chapter 713 It’s Time to Evacuate
I also talked to my hometown and learned that the first batch of paper has been burned. It was a grand and grand ceremony.
Except for Xia Ran's absence, everything else is fine.
A lot of gold and silver ingots and paper with holes were burned.
No one criticized Xia Ran, this is the advantage of being strong enough.
Especially because of Xia Ran's existence, many people in Chenjia Village were transformed from farmers into workers who received government wages.
No one would say anything bad about Xia Ran anymore.
No matter how angry or upset I am in my heart, I won't say anything nonsense on my face.
When you are weak, everything you do is wrong.
When you are strong, even if you fart by mistake, others will think that it was for a reason and it is not a big deal.
Some people even try to make up for it by saying that the fart smells better because it comes at the right time.
This is true human nature.
As for the shopping mall in his hometown, Manager Min has reported before that it is doing well.
Even people from several nearby counties come to our own shopping mall to purchase goods.
Because the quality of the goods in our own shopping mall is guaranteed and the price is not high.
This was something Xia Ran specifically requested.
Her expectation for her hometown is not to make a lot of money, but to let the people here use high-quality and inexpensive products.
I hope it can improve their quality of life to some extent.
The second brother Jianmin has successfully registered a construction company in Lan City.
Xia Ran gave the second order.
That is to look into buying a place in Lan City.
Build a Northwest Glasses City, currently it is built to a height of 6 floors.
The four floors below are used as an eyewear store, one floor is used as an office for a construction company, and another floor is used by its own branch.
Because the existing eyewear stores are doing very well, how well are they doing?
Many people from other cities come here by bus specifically to buy things because the goods are both cheap and of good quality.
Although Li Changshun cooperated with Xia Ran at the beginning, he didn't take it too seriously.
It was not until he saw the amazing flowing water before his eyes that he took the matter seriously.
Because the sales were so good, two more employees were hired later.
In fact, we should also recruit people in accounting.
However, Xia Ran specifically asked the current accountant if she was willing to hire someone else to share her work pressure?
Or does she take on all the responsibility alone and receive one more person's salary?
As Xia Ran expected, the other party chose her to do it alone.
And she gave Xia Ran a military order, promising that she would do a good job.
If something made Xia Ran unhappy, she would let Xia Ran deal with it.
Xia Ran didn't say anything else and just agreed.
Because she has also been someone else's employee, many people would rather work more and earn more money to take home.
Unfortunately, too many bosses only want to increase workload without increasing wages.
Later, Li Changshun suggested raising the price, saying, "I sent someone to inquire about it, and our pricing is a bit low."
But Xia Ran disagreed. "Why raise the price? This price is fine. It's already three or four times the profit. What else do you want?"
As long as we can make some money, the people here are all our fellow villagers. Why would we charge such a high price?"
Li Changshun: "Boss Xia, don't forget that we are businessmen first. We must be businessmen. We cannot talk about morality and loyalty at this time."
Xia Ran: "If we don't talk about it now, when will we talk about it? There's no end to making money. Some money can be made, and some money can't be made.
Do you know why I have to do this? Because I have been truly poor.
I have experienced the embarrassment, awkwardness and anxiety of being penniless.
I don't mind taking advantage of the rich, but I'm afraid of being the last straw that breaks the camel's back for the poor.
You and I are both well-off, so we don't need this, really.
If you want to make a lot of money, you should pay more attention to my previous suggestion. Let's do something big and make money from truly rich people.
Instead of squeezing the last bit out of ordinary people, I don't want to bear the consequences."
That's how it was finally settled.
But the previous store was still a bit small, and sometimes it was impossible to accommodate too many customers at the same time.
That's why Xia Ran has this plan now.
She wants to build an eyewear city and also take wholesale business into consideration, and she wants to be the general agent in the northwest.
While making these businessmen pay franchise fees, prices in the northwest are strictly controlled.
We cannot have the kind of price chaos that occurred in later generations.
Then he called Li Huaimin and asked him to bring a lawyer to discuss the matter of the Northwest general agent of the glasses.
Li Huaimin on the other end of the phone naturally agreed and mentioned the situation here, saying that the flood had basically receded.
It may not be easy to return to the previous state.
Based on his understanding of Xia Ran, he emphasized several areas that Xia Ran was most concerned about.
I still lack food and medicine, especially medicine.
The water receded, but many people suffered complications from the flood.
Although this thing won't kill you with one or two hits, it's enough to make you unable to do any heavy work.
Another thing is that the number of infants and young children in many orphanages has increased dramatically.
Many of them, especially girls, were thrown at the door of the orphanage as soon as they were born.
Xia Ran just listened without saying anything.
Xia Ran didn't think it was a big deal to eat this piece.
Donations are coming in from all over the place, and a steady stream of money is flying in from all over the world.
The problem of eating in a short period of time is not serious, and there is no need to intervene at this time.
Finally, Li Huaimin said, "Those of us who are staying here to help can retreat. Where are you going to send these other people?"
"If you can and are willing to drive, you can arrange for transportation. It would be best if you could build roads across the country.
The rest of the people will be sent to my side and I will be in charge of the arrangements.
You can also continue to recruit people, especially those who can drive and do transportation.
Have we completed the formalities for the transportation company?"
“All approvals have been obtained and we can now open for business.
This came down a while ago, but I've been busy and haven't taken care of it yet."
"Okay, got it. You can make the arrangements yourself from now on."
Xia Ran then called Director Liu.
I specifically asked about the current situation of the Shanghai Orphanage.
As a result, Director Liu said that the number of children in the orphanage had increased many times more than before.
There are more and more people abandoning their children recently.
Some of them were abandoned by disaster victims who could not afford to raise their children and wanted to find a way for them to survive.
There are also some people who don’t want to raise their babies after giving birth, so they just throw their babies away wherever they see others do.
"Director Liu, can you please ask the higher-ups if there's anyone supervising this matter?
If someone above guarantees that they will pay attention to this area and supervise it.
I can take responsibility for some of these children's daily food and clothing issues.
I want to make it clear in advance that I will only provide supplies and not a penny of money."
Director Liu knew that Xia Ran never asked meaningless questions, and it turned out to be true.
He just asked with some concern: "This is not something you can promise casually, and it's not a small amount. Have you thought it through?"
Xia Ran: "I should be earning a large sum of money, so it shouldn't be a problem to cover this.
But the money hasn't arrived yet, so I can't say much.
Also, Director Liu, it seems that some people have developed a lot of complications after the flood.
Could you please send some experienced Chinese doctors to take a look?
If you need any Chinese medicinal herbs, I can find some from other places."
