I'm reborn and I'm an international student again?

"This water dispenser still needs someone to manage it. I call it a water steward. I know that the supply and marketing cooperative also wants to do rural e-commerce. This water steward can not only sell water, but also help people deal with e-commerce ordering issues. Of course, we will also give corresponding rebates, otherwise others will not work for nothing." Chen Xi added.

Haha, isn’t this the same as my service station model?

Can you solve a problem that even I can't solve?
The result will be the same as mine.

After hearing this, Feng Yun sneered in his heart.

In fact, Feng Yun was right. This model was indeed flawed in his previous life. Human nature is complex. No matter how much or how little the plumber earns, there will always be people who are lazy.

Chen Xi offered a large sum of money in the beginning, thinking that these guys would do more work for the money, but the result was similar to the service station of Feng Yun.

So some people think that if the boss offers high wages, employees will definitely work hard and actively. This idea is rather naive.

However, it is normal for some small projects in a large project to lose money or not make money. In fact, there is no need to worry too much about this issue, as long as the overall project can make money.

"The water quality in rural areas of the north is indeed a headache. Can this thing really solve the drinking water problem?" Fan Hongyuan was a little unsure.

Chen Xi continued: "The water quality problems in rural areas in the north are indeed complex and diverse, mainly reflected in high hardness, high sand content, and possible excessive heavy metals and microorganisms. High hardness is mainly due to the large amount of calcium and magnesium ions in the water, which not only affects the taste of drinking, but also may increase the risk of stones if consumed for a long time. High sand content is caused by soil erosion and surface water pollution, which not only makes the water look turbid, but also wears out drinking water equipment. As for excessive heavy metals and microorganisms, they may come from agricultural pollution and industrial emissions, and the threat to human health is self-evident.

The water dispenser we are equipped with adopts multi-stage filtration technology, which is specially optimized for the water quality characteristics of northern rural areas. First, the pre-filter intercepts large particles of impurities and sediment to effectively protect the subsequent filter element from damage. The activated carbon filter element is used to absorb residual chlorine, organic matter and some heavy metals in the water, while improving the taste of the water. Next, there is the reverse osmosis membrane technology, which can efficiently remove tiny impurities such as soluble solids, bacteria, viruses, etc. in the water to ensure that the water meets the direct drinking standard. There is also a post-activated carbon filter to further improve the taste of the water, making the drinking water sweeter and more delicious.

This purification process can greatly improve the quality of drinking water in rural areas in the north and reduce health risks caused by water quality problems. Of course, regular maintenance of equipment and timely replacement of filters are also key to ensuring the purification effect. This requires our water stewards to not only be responsible for sales, but also to take on the responsibilities of equipment maintenance and user education to ensure that every household can use safe and reliable drinking water. "

After hearing this, Fan Hongyuan nodded.

Actually, when it comes to the issue of water, there are problems with water everywhere.

The official statement is that the tap water in Tu'ao is drinkable directly. However, Chen Xi drank water directly from the tap in Tu'ao and had not boiled hot water for drinking in more than ten years.

As a result, the Australian media suddenly revealed that tap water causes cancer.

Taxes in New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland and Kansas City are almost the same.

The news said that high concentrations of perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) were detected in tap water. The Environmental Protection Agency has warned that these two substances may cause cancer.

"Mr. Feng, do you have anything else to say?" Fan Hongyuan looked to the side again.

Feng Yun knew that the leader wanted to see which side had a higher price, so he immediately said: "If we want to solve rural problems, we have to start with cultural education, medical facilities, etc. Now many rural people are unwilling to come back after moving to the city. Salary is a problem, and the bigger reason is the future schooling and medical insurance of their children. Our Aba Aba Group is financially strong and can build schools and hospitals in rural areas..."

"Well, Mr. Feng's idea is good. But what you just said requires a lot of money. Mr. Chen also said just now that there are so many towns and villages in the country, and now even building roads is a problem. What about hospitals and schools..." Fan Hongyuan smiled.

He felt that Feng Yun was bragging. Not to mention one Aba Aba, even a hundred Aba Abas couldn't come up with that much money.

Actually, what Feng Yun said was not bragging, it just seemed a bit exaggerated at this time.

I guess few people know that Aba Aba launched something called the "Hot Soil Project".

What is the Hot Land Project?
That is to launch an overall plan to help rural revitalization and promote the comprehensive revitalization of rural areas through multi-dimensional means.

These include industrial upgrading, scientific and technological revitalization, people's livelihood, and special projects.

However, this plan was not implemented until later, that is, it was a project jointly undertaken by the Supply and Marketing Cooperative and Aba Aba after the fall of Chen Xi in the previous life.

In short, this Hot Soil Project is almost the same thing that Chen Xi did before, except that it has a different name.

There is a small project in this hot land plan, which is to support rural intangible cultural heritage craftsmen to open e-commerce stores and provide a number of support measures. Then the film and television platforms will cooperate in recording and broadcasting promotion.

It can also be said that whether it is the Hot Soil Project or things like the water dispenser that Chen Xi came up with, many of the ideas were actually thought up by Wang Zhi.

Although he is old, he is always running around, seeing and thinking a lot, and has more plans in his head than many young people in big companies.

At this time, although he was named by the leader, Feng Yun was not embarrassed, but explained with a smile: "Leader, you misunderstood. Let me introduce you to the project I just mentioned. This school is not a traditional school, and it does not require teachers to teach."

"Oh? What kind of school is it without teachers? Don't tell me there are not even students?" Fan Hongyuan's mouth twitched.

His first thought was that Feng Yun wanted to use the name of building a school to make other money, that is, to build a shell school, because many people have done this.

"Well... there must be students. The reason why I don't hire teachers is because many teachers are unwilling to teach in rural areas. So I came up with the idea of ​​building cloud classrooms, which is online teaching! The same can be done in the medical field! As for the construction funds, I plan to set up a dedicated fund..." Feng Yun continued to explain.

This is actually a good idea, but first we have to teach rural children how to use computers.

And the Internet is also a big problem. At this time, the Internet is basically not popular in rural areas, let alone remote areas.

"Mr. Feng, I guess you're not as good at education as Mr. Chen, who is a professional in it." Another junior leader at the meeting smiled.

Feng Yun smiled awkwardly when he heard this, but he also talked about his own method of combining big data analysis with education.

Indeed, in terms of comprehensiveness, Aba Aba is definitely more powerful.

Fan Hongyuan said: "What do you think about the current situation of our supply and marketing cooperative? Feel free to speak up. Our supply and marketing cooperative has a long history, but due to the constraints of the traditional model, it is currently difficult to adapt to the current market changes. This time, we invited you two to discuss cooperation matters in order to seek a path for reform..."

Feng Yun looked at Chen Xi and signaled him with his eyes to speak first. Chen Xi was not polite and said bluntly: "Supply and marketing cooperatives were the product of the planned economy in the past, mainly used for unified allocation of material supply. However, with the development of the market economy, supply and marketing cooperatives have undergone significant changes. Today's supply and marketing cooperatives are no longer channels for "unified purchase and sale" of materials under the planned economy, but are mainly operated in a market-oriented manner.

Supply and marketing cooperatives have become a market entity, and their operating model is similar to that of chain supermarkets. The county-level supply and marketing cooperatives are responsible for unified leadership, while the outlets are mainly franchised. This operating model enables supply and marketing cooperatives to better adapt to market demand and improve market competitiveness.

However, with the rise of e-commerce, this operating model is no longer viable. As you can see, the old way of doing things made it more difficult to buy and sell goods. In addition, the underdeveloped logistics in remote areas made it difficult to transport fresh vegetables and other goods to coastal areas.

According to my observation, the vegetables, fruits and other goods currently supplied in cities are all from rural areas close to cities. In other words, it is very difficult for rural areas without large cities nearby to sell their agricultural products.

There are many enterprises under the General Supply and Marketing Cooperative, but the management and sales models of these enterprises are outdated, resulting in excessive accumulation of products and excessive waste of resources..."

Why did Chen Xi dare to say this? It was because he knew Fan Hongyuan.

He is different from other leaders in that he really wants to carry out reforms.

If you say those confusing words in front of him, he will be unhappy.

In other words, the more capable you are, the more your leader will value you.

Moreover, the composition of the supply and marketing cooperatives was complex, and some people were negative about the reform. Since they had to please the leadership, they naturally had to tell everyone about the drawbacks.

After Chen Xi finished speaking, Feng Yun continued, "My opinion is similar to Mr. Chen's. The old model of supply and marketing cooperatives is just like banks. Reform must be implemented. The things that are not in line with the market economy should be replaced. Times are changing, technology is innovating, and new models may appear in a few years. Therefore, we must keep up with the pace of the times to ensure that we are not eliminated by the times..."

Chen Xi still agreed with what Feng Yun said. The models in many industries in China have been used for decades and are completely unable to keep up with the development of the times. It is a pure waste of resources.

I remember that he went to inspect the companies under the supply and marketing cooperative.

The goods piled up in the warehouse are just like a mountain. If they cannot be sold, they will have to be destroyed. It’s ridiculous to think that there are still a lot of people in the poor mountainous areas who are worried about food.

The meeting lasted for quite a long time. During the meeting, Feng Yun and Chen Xi's mouths became dry from talking so much. Before the blink of an eye, it was time for dinner.

After all, it was the first time they met, so Fan Hongyuan still had to act like a leader, so he politely declined the dinner invitation.

"Chen kid, let's find a place to have a meal and chat?"

"Okay!"

Faced with Feng Yun's invitation, Chen Xi did not refuse.

Seeing Feng Yun sending away everyone around him, Chen Xi also winked at Wang Zhi and the other man.

In a private room of a club with high privacy.

Feng Yun said as he put some food into his mouth, "Chen kid, I see you are so well prepared and brought out so many secret weapons at the meeting. How did the people from the supply and marketing cooperative talk to you?"

"We didn't talk about anything. What was just mentioned in the meeting were projects I had already done. Mr. Feng, please don't think too much about it." Chen Xi smiled.

Don’t think too much?
What a liar!
All of your projects are related to rural areas. There is no such coincidence in the world.

Feng Yun naturally took his words as a deliberate avoidance.

"What I said is all true. I am doing these projects just to build up our motherland. Otherwise, I would not have come back from Australia. The money I have is enough for me to spend for dozens of lifetimes..." Seeing that the other party did not believe him, Chen Xi explained again.

He was not talking nonsense. No matter in his previous life or this life, he could never spend all the money he earned.

The reason why I returned to China to do this and that was because I wanted to do something big. As for building the motherland, that was also a natural thing.

When he was young, he had all kinds of ideals. Building rockets and aircraft carriers seemed unrealistic to him. But he still dared to think and act on major projects for the country and the people.

Of course, one of the reasons for doing these things is to make more money.

He is just an ordinary person, not a great saint!

"Ha, there are only two of us here, so stop pretending. According to my calculations, for this project, it would be difficult for me, Aba Aba, to do it. It would be a waste of money to use your funds to do this project." Feng Yun looked at him cheerfully.

Chen Xi knew exactly how much money was needed to implement this project. But Feng Yun's words were a bit exaggerated. In fact, no company in China could complete it independently.

After thinking for a while, he replied: "Mr. Feng, even if this project is given to you, it is still not enough considering the size of your Aba Aba. The leader asked us to go to a meeting today, and he can also ask other people to go to the meeting tomorrow. In other words, it is not just us two who can be selected as partners by the supply and marketing cooperative. I guess he will definitely choose several companies to cooperate with..."

"But as far as I know, the other companies that were called to the meeting have all been eliminated."

"Mr. Feng, I don't necessarily mean the company doing this project. It could also be other institutions. You know what I mean. Such a huge project will definitely require a steady stream of money."

"Okay, I understand. Let's put this aside for now and talk about the funding issue first. Most of the funds for current projects come from banks. The pawnshop mentality of domestic finance is very serious and has also affected many entrepreneurs. Some entrepreneurs have to mortgage all their assets, which puts them under great pressure. There is also a habit that banks like to lend money to good companies and companies that do not need money. They lend as much as they can, and as a result, many good companies have become bad companies..." Feng Yun's words reminded Chen Xi of a speech he made at a meeting in his previous life.

In his previous life, ever since Feng Yun said this, he had become somewhat silent.

There are all kinds of rumors online. Some people say that he offended people because of his words, so he acted like this. Others say that he wants to steal the bank's job, or that the company has become big, so and so...

Actually, what these people said is not quite right... (End of this chapter)
