“Gu Qingming said that she plans to set up an online shopping platform to help our village sell things. I wonder if it’s true?”
“This should be true! There’s no need for her to lie to us, right?”
“That’s hard to say. Didn’t she contract so many plots of land? These plots of land were rented to her by the entire village. If everyone was like Zhang Liuying and asked for the land back just because of a disagreement, she would definitely be annoyed. Look, she’s painting a beautiful vision for everyone.”
“That’s not right.” Someone immediately retorted. “The Gu family is rich. There’s no need for her to do that! Also, if we rent this land to her and want to withdraw it, we’ll have to pay ten times the compensation. Who would be willing to withdraw the rent if we lose a few thousand for no reason?
“Also, she said it herself. If someone is really willing to withdraw the land, as long as the compensation is in place, she will allow it. She can just tear down this greenhouse and rebuild it again. Although it’s a little troublesome and costs more money, they have money and are willing to spend this money, right?”
“That’s true. I heard that this Gu family isn’t a multimillionaire, but a billionaire!”
There was a huge difference in wealth between a multimillionaire and a billionaire.
“Ha, a billionaire. That’s really rich!”
“She’s a billionaire, so she donated a few million dollars to build a road. A greenhouse is also a few million dollars. Previously, she planted greenhouse rice and invited an expert to teach at the location. Do you think it’s easy to hire such a rice expert? It definitely won’t be easy. But she only invited one.”
The expert Gu Qingming had hired back then was hired through Gao Wenwens connections.
However, this expert was too busy. Not long after he came to the Shi family’s field, he examined it and gave a few suggestions before rushing back.
However, this expert had left a contact. If the Shi family had anything they didn’t understand in the future, they could ask him.
With their rich farming experience combined with the professional theoretical knowledge of experts, Eldest Uncle believed that their cultivation techniques for greenhouses would become better.
“The Gu family is so rich. But what I don’t understand is why Gu Qingming, a rich young lady, is willing to stay in our countryside?”
The rich heiresses they had seen on television despised the countryside.
It was considered that the countryside was poor and backward and that the hygiene was dirty and bad.
Although Gu Qingming’s biological family was in the countryside, she rarely came in the first ten or twenty years.
Every time she came, she would be dressed cleanly and beautifully. Standing in this village, she was like a princess and was exceptionally eye-catching.
“That’s right. Why would she like to stay in the countryside? What contract? I heard that this contract farming won’t earn much money.”
Compared to Gu Qingming’s net worth, it was indeed not much money.
“I think she’s hiding in the countryside to give birth, right?” A villager whispered. “After all, the reputation of getting pregnant out of wedlock isn’t good!”
When it came to getting pregnant out of wedlock, many people were unwilling to continue talking about it.
They were afraid that the Shi family would hear them again.
It was fine if they heard about it, but they were afraid that the Shi family would never hire them to work again if they were the ones who were heard saying it.
“However, Gu Qingming said that she wants to set up this online shopping platform to help us sell things. When is it going to start? I still have a pile of sweet potatoes at home. I want to sell them as soon as possible.”
“I still have some soybeans and peanuts at home. I want to sell some too!”
“I still have taro and pickles at home. I want to sell them too.”
“Haha, it looks like everyone has something to sell.”
“Oh, I thought of a problem.”
“What kind of problems?”
“Gu Qingming set up an online shopping platform to help us sell things. Does she earn money?”
“It should be profitable, right?”
“If she doesn’t earn from it, why would she do this?”
“Her family is so rich. Why would they care about this bit of money?”
“Then how does she earn money? She won’t get a commission from the things she sells, right?”
“This should be…”
…
Just as the villagers were suspecting Gu Qingmings intentions for setting up an online shopping platform, Gu Qingming and her third brother, Shi Yaoqing, discussed the operations for the shopping platform.
Relying on the video of “Second Senior Brother”, Shi Yaoqing went from an ordinary person to an internet celebrity with a million fans in just a month or two.
As Shi Yaoqing became more and more popular, many advertising companies came looking for him to advertise and sell things. The live-stream sales were all rejected by Shi Yaoqing although those sky-high advertising fees actually tempted him.
However, Shi Yaoqing listened to Gu Qingming’s words and rejected those advertising companies. At the same time, he temporarily rejected the manager Gu Qingming had hired for him.
He was now just a simple internet celebrity.
Back then, Shi Yaoqing’s goal was to reject some tourists from coming to Stoneback Village.
Now, his goal had indeed been achieved.
Some tourists watched Second Senior Brother’s various performances on the live-stream.
However, there were still a small number of people who wanted to come to the event location to watch.
Therefore, there were still some tourists coming to Stoneback Village one after another.
There were a few restaurants and farm accommodations in the village that still had some business.
However, this did not affect the lives of the Shi family.
In fact, Second Senior Brother’s spirituality and popularity attracted people from the zoo. They wanted to persuade the Shi family to give the pig to the zoo, but the Shi family rejected them.
After that, the zoo was unwilling to give up and offered a price. They wanted the Shi family to sell it, but they were also rejected.
Not to mention 30,000 dollars, even if they offered two to three million, they would not sell it.
Second Senior Brother had already become a member of their family. Who would be willing to sell their family?
This made the zoo very popular. They even sent people from the government to persuade them to threaten the Shi family to give up Second Senior Brother on the pretext that they could drive the city’s economic development.
However, compared to the backers, the Shi family’s relationship was stronger. Therefore, they did not submit to the threat of those people.
In the end, Second Senior Brother stayed in the Shi Family.
The house that Second Senior Brother was living in now was a very beautiful small villa that the Shi Family had built for him. Second Senior Brother lived in it happily every day.
…
“Sister, you want Second Senior Brother to be the spokesperson of our village?” Shi Yaoqing was surprised when he heard Gu Qingming’s words. “But there’s nothing for sale in our village.”
Gu Qingming smiled and said, “There’s not much to sell now, but it might not be the case in the future!”
Shi Yaoqing immediately reacted. He immediately patted his head and said with a smile, “Yes, we contracted more than 200 acres of land and planted a lot of things.”
“Yes! However,” Gu Qingming said a little seriously, “To be precise, Second Senior Brother is not our village’s spokesperson, but my company’s spokesperson.”
Shi Yaoqing asked in confusion, “Ha, your company’s spokesperson? Didn’t the Gu Corporation invite those big celebrities to be their spokesperson?”
“Pfft!” Gu Qingming laughed out loud. “It’s not the Gu Corporation!”
