From a freeloader to a world leader

Chapter 243: Ding Zhifu's Affirmation

This was the first time that Yang Yuanqing gave a speech at such a scale.

Royal children like them, who are almost kept in captivity, are basically just a decoration in every place.

Possessing supreme dignity but no real power.

Therefore, after Sun Shan entered Hengzhou Prefecture, he was suppressed by the Wang family and the government.

He looked at the endless crowd of Hengzhou elders below, thought for a moment, took out the prepared speech, and read it out with some trembling: "Dear fellow Hengzhou elders------"

Ding Zhilai looked at Yang Yuanqing's speech and smiled secretly in his heart: It has been raised for hundreds of years, and it's all ruined!

Next, he expressed his views on behalf of the entire Chuzhou to Hengzhou and Datong Chamber of Commerce.

However, before setting off yesterday, Wang Baoyu, the eldest son of the Wang family, found me with a handwritten letter from his father, Vice Prime Minister Wang.

He asked himself to suppress the Datong Chamber of Commerce.

But what can the Wang family bring to me?

Is it money, or higher status?

It seems to be there, but not big.

But, with the chips in hand, the world is mine.

So, after arriving in Hengzhou, I revealed a little bit.

Sun Shan was a very tactful boy and allocated 50% of the brick and tile contract to his own family.

As for if you want to get more contracts, it depends on whether you have any trump cards.

After this face-to-face communication, he was deeply shocked. It really lived up to its reputation!

I originally thought that a talented and romantic man like Sun Shan, who became famous at a young age, would be quite proud of himself.

He would be unhappy with this kind of poaching behavior.

However, after he let out a few words, the other party stuffed a contract worth 500,000 taels into his hands.

Even Yang Yuanqing, a veteran in the royal family, was surprised by such courage.

In fact, they didn't know that Sun Shan was looking for an opportunity to establish a relationship with Ding Zhilai, the head of a state.

Anyway, it doesn’t matter who the contract is given to, as long as the quality and quantity are guaranteed.

I believe that with this piece of fat hanging by the horns, Magistrate Ding and his family can be said to have gotten on their own boat.

"Thank you, thank you Prince Heng for delivering an inspiring speech on behalf of our Great Sui imperial family and the people of Hengzhou. Please applaud and welcome him------"

Then, under the stage, a brand new Yue Fei stretched out his voice and clapped his hands vigorously.

"Next, we will proceed to the fifth item of our opening ceremony. Governor Ding will give a speech on behalf of Chuzhou. Please applaud and welcome him!"

After Sun Shan finished speaking, he bent down and extended his hand to invite Ding Zhilai, who had a half-white beard but was full of energy, to give a speech.

Ding Zhilai walked to the front of the stage solemnly but casually. After the audience quieted down, he approached the metal microphone and shouted loudly: "Hello, fellow villagers of Hengzhou!"

Yue Fei saw this fat old man with an official look on his face and sighed in his heart: Is this the prefect? ​​Not so good, not as majestic as the elder brother-----

However, his hands hardly ever stopped.

As long as the people on the stage paused for a moment, he would take the lead and start clapping.

"I am your prefect Ding. I am very moved by what I have seen and heard today and am here to celebrate the opening of the Datong Chamber of Commerce in Hengzhou."

"I have deep feelings for Hengzhou. When I was young, I studied in Chuanshan Academy. In the blink of an eye, time flies, and nearly forty years have passed!"

"Today, returning to Hengzhou again, I feel very familiar and strange."

"What is familiar is the mountains and rivers here, but what is unfamiliar is the increase in population. What is unfamiliar is that in just a year or so, Hengzhou City has undergone such earth-shaking changes!"

"Not only have the streets become wider and more beautiful, and not only have the people found a place to live and work in peace and contentment, but I have also seen a rising hope in our city of Hengzhou."

"As our Datong Chamber of Commerce consultant Sun said, the world has the same dream and the same splendor! I hope that all people can enjoy their old age and take care of their children. I hope that everyone can live a better life. Everyone has enough food and a safe place to live, and no one will suffer from poverty anymore."

Having said this, Ding Zhilai paused.

Yue Fei immediately clapped his hands and cheered.

"Here, I saw the dedication and hard work of all the people of Hengzhou, the perseverance of the Datong Chamber of Commerce, and the colleagues of the Hengzhou government, who worked tirelessly to govern and serve the people."

“I am very pleased about this!”

"Today, on behalf of the more than six million elders of Chuzhou, I express my sincere condolences and support to the Datong Chamber of Commerce and my colleagues in Hengzhou!"

Hearing this, Sun Shan felt relieved and looked at Yang Yuanqing and Wang Fuzhi who were sitting in the chair.

When Magistrate Ding came this time, the two of them made great contributions.

Otherwise, with his and Datong Chamber of Commerce's immature size, it would be difficult to withstand the pressure from a state governor.

Fortunately, Ding Zhilai was somewhat concerned about his alumni and the contract of 500,000 taels, so he kept his word.

After Ding Zhilai gave a long and eloquent speech, Sun Shan and Zhang Yuliang both went on stage to carry out the last item of the opening ceremony - cutting the ribbon together!

This is Sun Shan’s innovation after thousands of years of reference.

"Dear fellow villagers, the next step is the last item of our opening ceremony - cutting the ribbon to start construction!"

"Next, please invite Prince Heng, Prefect Ding, Magistrate Zhang, Shanzhang Wang Fuzhi, Chairman Sun Bing, President Yue Yunfei, and Sun Shan, the policy advisor of our Datong Chamber of Commerce, to cut the ribbon together!"

"Then, after the groundbreaking, all the folks who are interested can go to our sales department to visit and inquire-----"

As Zhang Yuliang finished speaking, several people, young and old, who nodded, came to the side of the stage and stood under the plaque of Datong Real Estate Society which had been built long ago.

Several people stood separately beside a 10-meter-long bright red strip and took the golden scissors handed to them by several beautiful female employees.

Then, amid a burst of firecrackers, the bright red silk was cut in unison.

The cut off lottery heads were placed on the trays of several beautiful female employees.

For this reason, Yang Yuanqing and others asked Sun Shan why.

Sun Shan replied with a smile: "Cutting the ribbon means that everyone works together to cut the ribbon and get a good omen of red!"

Of course, those pairs of scissors made of gold and weighing half a pound were naturally also the ones who would be the main figures in cutting the ribbon.

This is equivalent to the writing fee or appearance fee paid by celebrities a thousand years later.

From then on, the custom of cutting hair began to spread throughout the Sui Empire.

Likewise, there is the groundbreaking ceremony that will follow.

It means that everyone works together to swing the hoe and cultivate the newly moved soil under the roots of one or several small trees.

This means planting the seeds of hope and planting evergreen hope.

At the same time, these planted saplings also represent the prosperity of the newly opened company.

But the hoe used to plant trees is not made of gold.

Because there can be many people who break ground, just like Sun Ziyong, Luo Li Lianxue and other middle and senior managers, all of whom are qualified to break ground together.

Sun Shan has his own little ideas about planting trees.

We hope to plant more trees, protect the environment and reduce soil erosion through various means.
