Jingting was quite surprised. "You're such a rich second-generation, why do you need to personally promote products?"
Wen Xu: "You don't understand, do you? Making money is something you only feel a sense of accomplishment when you earn it yourself! Let me tell you, I used to think that spending money was the happiest thing in the world, but ever since I took over the factory and started making money, I've increasingly felt that making money is the happiest thing in the world."
Jingting:...
Okay! Sometimes I really feel that you and our Abbot are very compatible in some ways, and it feels like you two are a match made in heaven.
When Jingting's fans learned that Jingting was going to start live-streaming e-commerce, their first reaction was to go to the live stream and mock him. Sure enough, these days, the ultimate goal for live streamers is to sell products. However, once they actually got to Jingting's Jingting stream and saw Wen Xu's appearance, they forgot about mocking him and just wanted him to Jingting quiet and not disturb their enjoyment of the handsome guy.
Jingting as she introduced, "These are Daoist-style chicken feet, Daoist-style chicken wings, and Daoist-style hand-shredded chicken, a collaboration between our Clear Breeze Temple and the Wen Group..."
Fan: [Don't say anything, let that handsome guy talk to us.]
Jingting: "These co-branded products were personally formulated and strictly developed according to proportions by my senior brother, Daoist Chang Kong. The taste has been certified by everyone in Clear Breeze Temple, and every customer who has tried them raves about them. Most importantly, these three products cover several flavors, including fragrant, spicy, and tender, making them suitable for people of all ages..."
Fan: [Don't say anything, let that handsome guy talk to us.]
Jingting later got so angry at her own fans that she grabbed a bag of shredded chicken and covered Wen Xu's face with it, saying with a dark expression, "If you don't buy it, you can't look at the handsome guy."
Fans in the live stream placed orders one after another, while Wen Xu, whose face was covered and who hadn't said a word the entire time, Wen Xu, "6!"
-
Wen Xu and Jingting were having a love-hate relationship with their fans in the live stream, while Yun Zhaozhao received a phone call from Chairman Jiang of the Taoist Association.
Chairman Jiang brought Yun Zhaozhao another piece of good news over the phone.
In recent years, the government has vigorously supported agricultural production. Young people like Yun Zhaozhao who return to their hometowns to start businesses can not only drive the economic development of the surrounding villages of Clear Breeze Temple, but also improve the employment rate of nearby universities. This makes them a very good target for the government to support and promote.
Moreover, Yun Zhaozhao herself leads the villagers in planting tea trees and raising poultry, so she is essentially working on the front lines of agricultural production. Therefore, when Chairman Jiang called Yun Zhaozhao this time, he was telling Yun Zhaozhao that the government planned to allocate a startup fund to her to support Yun Zhaozhao business.
If cooperating with Wen Xu was considered an easy win, then Chairman Jiang's phone call was like a windfall for Yun Zhaozhao.
Therefore, Yun Zhaozhao immediately expressed her deep gratitude to Chairman Jiang. Chairman Jiang told Yun Zhaozhao that she might need to fill out some application materials and go through some procedures, to which Yun Zhaozhao readily agreed, "Don't worry, don't worry, my phone will be on 24 hours a day, ready to be summoned by the organization at any time."
Chairman Jiang laughed heartily, "There's no need for that. They're calling you during working hours anyway. If you have any questions or encounter any problems, just call me then."
After hanging up with Chairman Jiang, Yun Zhaozhao was so happy that she started humming a song.
Then I hummed along the way to the cafeteria.
She longed to share this joy with someone, but since the money hadn't arrived yet, and she hadn't even filled out the application materials, she didn't dare share it. So she could only keep it to herself, secretly gloating.
Martial Uncle Chuli was sitting at the octagonal table drinking tea when he saw Yun Zhaozhao humming a song as she entered. He immediately smiled and waved to her.
Yun Zhaozhao walked over, Martial Uncle Chuli pushed a cup of tea towards her.
Yun Zhaozhao took a sip and felt even more refreshed. "Good tea!"
Martial Uncle Chuli: "Is there some good news?"
Yun Zhaozhao: "This is fantastic news, but I can't tell you yet. I'm afraid it won't work if I say it."
Martial Uncle Chuli, "It's right not to speak. One must be patient and able to endure loneliness."
Yun Zhaozhao had previously considered asking Martial Uncle Chuli to work at the guesthouse once it opened, but since it was still under renovation, she hadn't felt in a rush and kept putting it off until now. Now that the time was right, she spoke to Martial Uncle Chuli about it, "Uncle, when I went to True Yang Temple last time, they mentioned that many Daoist priests wanted to consult you about the secrets to longevity. Since you're usually at Clear Breeze Temple, it's not very convenient for the priests to come and ask you. Our Daoist temple guesthouse will be opening in a month or two, and I was thinking if it's convenient, could we invite you to stay there for a few days each month? Firstly, it would help attract more visitors to our guesthouse, and secondly, it would be a good opportunity for you to relax."
Martial Uncle Chuli seemed very agreeable. "Sure! I'll do whatever you say."
Yun Zhaozhao readily offered a compliment. "Who said you have a bad temper? These days, you rarely see an old Daoist priest as good-tempered and cooperative as you."
Martial Uncle Chuli said matter-of-factly, "I do have a bad temper, but it doesn't matter. As long as I live long enough, history will be written by the long-lived. Then I'll tell everyone that Daoist Jingyang is the one with the worst temper in our True Yang Temple. I'll make him furious."
Yun Zhaozhao: "..." Poor Daoist Jingyang.
Chapter 109
On Monday, Yun Zhaozhao spent half a day filling out the relevant forms for applying for agricultural subsidies at the relevant government departments.
According to the information, the main subsidies that Yun Zhaozhao can apply for this time include farmland subsidies and subsidies for actual crop producers.
She currently rents land in a nearby village to grow crops, and receives a subsidy of 10-20 yuan per mu. If it's 1,000 mu, that's a subsidy of 10,000-20,000 yuan per year. This is just the farmland subsidy. In addition, Yun Zhaozhao can also receive subsidies for actual crop producers and subsidies for rural complex projects, etc.
If all the random applications are approved, the amount I can get is probably around 200,000 yuan.
Although the amount of money wasn't particularly large, it might be able to save a small business in the early stages, especially at a critical moment. Yun Zhaozhao only regretted that she didn't know about government subsidies when she first inherited Clear Breeze Temple. If she had known earlier, she wouldn't have had to struggle so hard with Daoist Chang Kong.
Tang Li, who accompanied her to complete the procedures and fill out the forms, was very good at providing emotional support. He kept Yun Zhaozhao in a very considerate way. "It's not bad like this now. If you had known about the government subsidies from the beginning, you might have just been lying around enjoying them, and you wouldn't have been able to lead Clear Breeze Temple to achieve what it has today."
Yun Zhaozhao: "... What you said makes sense."
After all, the reason she was able to start from Daoist Chang Kong Changkong was because she was penniless and inexplicably in debt! When a person has nothing, the only thing they can think of is to strive. And when she had everything she wanted, she started to think about how to enjoy life.
Right now, all Yun Zhaozhao could think about was where to take her colleagues from Clear Breeze Temple for some fun.
Or perhaps, while housing prices are relatively stable now, we should simply buy some more land or a house?
As for striving? She has now handed over the banner of striving to Jingting and Wen Xu.
Since Jingting went to Wen Xu's company and did a live-streaming sales event with Wen Xu last time, he has been doing a live-streaming event with Wen Xu every Wednesday night.
With the support of Jingting's live stream traffic, Wen Xu's good looks, and the added bonus of Daoist Chang Kong's culinary skills, the sales effect of Wen Xu and Jingting's live stream can be said to be better than that of many professional top live streamers.
Some merchants even approached Wen Xu and Jingting, wanting to invite them to help promote their products. And the prices they offered were quite attractive.
However, both Wen Xu and Jingting ultimately declined.
After all, promoting your own products is unavoidable, but promoting other people's products is a different story. In Wen Xu's words, "Why would I give up being a proper Young President Wen to become an internet celebrity? It's not like I don't have a family business to inherit."
Jingting, I felt... Wen Xu was right.
Having spent a lot of time with Wen Xu, Jingting now quite admires Wen Xu. He thinks Wen Xu is the kind of person who can endure hardship and also knows how to enjoy life.
Suffering is easy to understand; many people are very capable of enduring hardship. But enjoying life is not something everyone knows how to do. For example, Jingting entrusted all the money he earned to Yun Zhaozhao for safekeeping, and he didn't have any hobbies related to spending money.
But Wen Xu was different. After making money from Wen Xu streaming, he immediately bought himself a supercar and even set up a gym near the factory. He hired a personal trainer and masseur to massage and relax him, saying that sitting in front of the computer was too tiring.
When Jingting went for a massage with Wen Xu for the first time, she felt very uncomfortable. On the one hand, the masseur was a man who was not only big and burly but also very robust. On the other hand, the massage required taking off clothes, which was really inappropriate for Jingting, a Daoist priest.
So in the end, he did nothing that day. He just watched with a smile as Wen Xu was being pressed down by the masseur until he was screaming and howling, while silently adding the massage to his blacklist.
Wen Xu was still stubborn. "Let me tell you, don't be fooled by how loudly I'm shouting, massage is all about pain at first, then pleasure. You don't believe me? Try it."
Jingting, "I believe you, but wipe your tears first."
Wen Xu: "..."
He realized that these Daoist priests were indeed trained by Yun Zhaozhao; they could infuriate people with just as many words as Yun Zhaozhao did.
Mentioning Yun Zhaozhao also made Wen Xu Wen Xu. He had invited Yun Zhaozhao to go to the water park a couple of days ago, but Yun Zhaozhao said, "There's no rush to play. You should focus on promoting our products first. Our Clear Breeze Temple is counting on you to help us succeed!"
Wen Xu was immediately displeased and said, "Do you think I'm just a tool for promoting products?"
