Chapter 1971

"Are you familiar with Village Chief Xiao?" Hearing Luo Lin's words, Gu Chen suddenly thought about it.

If you want to say whether these people have any doubts, of course they do.

From Gu Chen's point of view, all the people in Fuxing Village are suspicious, including Rowling in front of them, are they telling the truth to everyone? This is also worth studying.

But Gu Chen is now a reporter after all, so it is impossible to ask the other party like before.

So Gu Chen accepted it when he saw it, and nodded slightly: "These people seem to be old acquaintances with Village Chief Xiao? Have they known each other for a long time?"

Seeing that Rowling was a little puzzled, Gu Chen hurriedly explained: "That's right, I'm also interested in the Photographers Association, and I also like to collect stories everywhere, so... I also want to get to know these people well."

"Oh, that's it?" After a pause, Rowling also smiled and said: "This... I'm not too clear, anyway, according to your identity as a reporter, you should have a good deal with them."

"That's not it." Seeing what Rowling said, Lu Weiwei hurriedly reminded: "Just now, we went to the rooftop to find a shooting angle with the colleagues from Jiangnan Daily, and we met them."

"And looking at them, it seems that they are all equipment parties. It seems that you will be despised by them if you take pictures with your mobile phone."

"I don't understand this. It's also photography. Sometimes the effect of mobile phones is actually better than what they use professional SLR cameras."

"What is photography about? It's skills and brains..."

Lu Weiwei stayed here for a long time, but Rowling only knew a little about it.

Gu Chen hurriedly interjected, "By the way, where is Village Chief Xiao now? After hearing your thoughts, I really want to interview the village chief now."

"Oh, maybe... I don't know either." Rowling scratched her head like a headless chicken, and hurriedly explained:

"Old Xiao, he usually sees his head but never sees his tail. In this event, the protagonist is Village Chief Luo, so Village Chief Xiao is willing to work behind the scenes. I feel that he doesn't want to show his face, so..."

Looking at the scenery outside the corridor window, Rowling was also uncertain: "So he may be staying in a corner of Fuxing Village."

"Corner?" Hearing what Rowling said, Liu Jingru immediately became interested, and asked quickly:

"Mr. Xiao usually likes to be alone?"

"Well, Old Xiao seldom talks and only does things. Compared with Village Chief Luo's talkativeness, his personality matches Village Chief Luo very well."

"Then...can you arrange it for us?" Gu Chen asked.

"This..." Rowling hesitated for a few seconds, then nodded and agreed: "That's fine, I'll call and ask."

After the voice fell, Rowling took out her mobile phone and started making calls.

After a while, the phone was connected.

Rowling hurriedly said: "Old Xiao, where are you now? What? Back Mountain? What are you doing in Back Mountain?"

"Oh, so where are you now? Already on the way back? Okay, that's right, we have some reporters here who want to interview you."

"What? You don't want an interview? They are from a TV station, and now they are promoting our Fuxing Village vigorously. Why don't you come over and say hello?"

"Old Luo? His old Luo has already been interviewed, why don't you hurry over here too?"

After a pause, Rowling glanced at Gu Chen and the others, and then said, "Oh, you're almost at the villagers' fitness center behind? Alright, then I'll let them go find you quickly, um, that's it."

"How to say?" Seeing Rowling hang up the phone, Liu Jingru hurriedly asked.

"Village Chief Xiao is already on his way back. He went to the back mountain and is about to arrive at the villagers' fitness center, which is the archery activity area behind the village."

"I know." Gu Chen nodded slightly.

Luo Lin hurriedly said again: "Xiao Yuanshan, he has gray hair, short hair, tall and thin, go there and wait for him, maybe you can meet him."

"Okay." It was also reminded by Rowling that Gu Chen and the others hurriedly set off.

Rowling separated from everyone on the first floor and continued to participate in the busyness.

At the same time, Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei, Liu Jingru and Wu Jun had also rushed to the archery area.

Since it is almost time for the long table banquet, the tourists who were still in the villagers' activity center and participated in archery and other homestay activities have already rushed to the ancestral hall at the entrance of the village.

But at this moment, the activity center was already empty and seemed extremely quiet.

"Junior Brother Gu, haven't you seen Xiao Yuanshan? Where is this guy?" Lu Weiwei looked around, but there was no sign of anyone.

Gu Chen shook his head: "Maybe it hasn't arrived yet, just wait."

"By the way, this person is quite weird. Everyone else goes to the entrance of the village to have fun. Why does he go to the back mountain by himself? Could it be..."

Looking around, she was afraid of being heard, so Liu Jingru lowered her tone again, and continued to whisper in Gu Chen's ear:

"Could it be that Xiao Yuanshan is the person who secretly monitors you in the monitoring room?"

"It's hard to say now." Gu Chen shook his head, and said thoughtfully, "I'll see Xiao Yuanshan later, talk to him, and get to the bottom of it."

"Yeah." With Gu Chen's words, Liu Jingru felt relieved.

At this moment, the photographer Wu Jun hurriedly reminded: "It seems that someone is coming."

After the voice fell, everyone present looked forward.

I saw a tall and thin man wearing a straw hat, walking from the path in the direction of the jungle at the moment.

After Gu Chen and the others calmed down, they stood aside and waited quietly.

The man's hands were empty and his feet were covered with dirt. When he saw Gu Chen and the others, he was not in a hurry. He sat directly under a big tree, took off his straw hat and fanned himself to enjoy the shade.

"Are you Xiao Yuanshan Village Chief Xiao?" Gu Chen asked.

The middle-aged man nodded slightly: "Yes, I am Xiao Yuanshan, and you are...TV reporters?"

"Yes." Liu Jingru walked out first, and also smiled at Xiao Yuanshan and said: "This is the village chief Xiao, our Jiangnan TV station will make a comprehensive report on Fuxing Village, but, as the village chief of Fuxing Village, you should also accept our interview."

"I don't like being on camera very much, and I don't know how to speak." Hearing Liu Jingru's remarks, Xiao Yuanshan also replied calmly.

Wu Jun smiled, raised the camera, made a shooting gesture, and responded:

"Everyone is working. I heard that you, Village Chief Xiao, don't like to talk very much, but you are in charge of and operate many things in the village. I feel that you are quite powerful."

"Really?" Hearing what the photographer Wu Jun said, Xiao Yuanshan suddenly asked curiously:

"Who did you listen to?"

"Accountant Rowling." Gu Chen said.

"She? She just has a big mouth, and she speaks exaggeratedly. I'm not as powerful as she said."

Holding the straw hat in his hand and continuing to fan the wind, Xiao Yuanshan also smiled slightly, and continued: "Usually, the affairs of the village are managed by Village Chief Luo."

"You also know that our Fuxing Village is a bit special, except that our Xiao family is local, and their Luo family migrated from other provinces."

"Our Xiao family has a small population, so when the two groups get together, it's very lively."

"The Luo family brought their local customs and customs, which added vitality to our Fuxing Village and attracted the attention of many superiors."

"I thought about it, since there are such conditions, let's run it well. After all, folk customs are also a kind of business, which can be operated commercially."

Although Xiao Yuanshan said on the surface that he didn't like interviews, when facing the cameraman Wu Jun and raised his camera, he still spoke clearly and logically.

Gu Chen hurriedly asked: "Accountant Luo said that you proposed to build a wheat field homestay, and you also led the monitoring system covering the entire Fuxing Village."

"You also gave a lot of valuable suggestions in promoting the Fuxing Village Bonfire Festival."

"It can be said that without you, Village Chief Xiao, there would be no bonfire festival in Fuxing Village. In fact, you are the protagonist of this bonfire festival. You should participate."

As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, the white-haired Xiao Yuanshan chuckled, "I don't like this kind of event very much, and the protagonist today is Luo Bo and his clansmen, so I won't join in on this." lively."

"Besides, I've also arranged for people from the village to help with the bonfire festival, so it's the same if I'm more or less."

"But..." Facing Xiao Yuanshan's words, Liu Jingru hesitated for a few seconds, and then she took the initiative to ask: "But Village Chief Xiao, will you make others think wrong by doing this?"

"After all, others may think that your absence from the event may be due to a conflict with Village Chief Luo."

"Let them decide." Hearing Liu Jingru's speech, Xiao Yuanshan raised his chin indifferently, and said involuntarily:

"Anyway, everyone in the village knows that I have this kind of personality. Today's protagonist is the village chief Luoboluo. I have done what I should do."

"Let them handle the rest of the matter by themselves. Anyway, I'm happy to be at ease."

Seeing that Xiao Yuanshan also seemed to be a stubborn person, Lu Weiwei saw the needles, and quickly led the topic to the monitoring equipment, so she quickly pretended to do an interview and said:

"By the way, I heard that you are in charge of the monitoring network coverage of Fuxing Village. We happened to visit it just now under the leadership of Accountant Luo."

"We found that in your little Fuxing Village, the coverage of the monitoring network is simply too dense, and the equipment is also very high-end."

"Then, Village Chief Xiao, do you think this is necessary? Why do I feel a little extravagant?"

"Uh……"

As if he had asked his vital point, Xiao Yuanshan couldn't help being embarrassed, but quickly adjusted his state, couldn't help smiling and said:

"What? Actually, this is also one of my ideas, that is, to make Fuxing Village not only a tourism industrial village, but also an absolutely safe village."

"You may not know the previous situation. Thieves often visit us in Fuxing Village, and this kind of theft does not have any time rules at all."

"Of course, this is also an individual imagination, but if Fuxing Village is to be turned into a popular tourism village, then the necessary monitoring network needs to be prepared in advance."

After a pause, Xiao Yuanshan said again: "For example, the entire Fuxing Village has already been overwhelmed by tourists, but it doesn't matter, we have real-time monitoring for management."

"Every move of all the people here can be captured by our real-time monitoring."

"Moreover, our monitoring here is also equipped with an intelligent face recognition function."

"As long as you show your face, as long as you enter the range of the lens, it will be intelligently locked by the lens."

"But." Lu Weiwei thought for a few seconds, and then took the initiative to say: "But Village Chief Xiao, this set of equipment is expensive, right? I dare not say whether it is a waste of money to purchase such expensive equipment just to achieve this effect , but everyone else said so."

"Especially these monitoring equipment, like today's situation, can come in handy, but what about tomorrow? Once the bonfire festival is over, it seems that the cost performance is not high."

"And I also heard that only you can use this equipment, and many people can't even read the instructions, so you haven't thought about teaching them how to use it?"

"This..." Seemingly embarrassed by being asked, Xiao Yuanshan pondered for a moment, then said slowly:

"Actually, it's not that complicated. It's just that people in the village don't like to learn this kind of thing, and it doesn't feel like it has anything to do with them."

"I also taught Village Chief Luo's nephew Luo Ping. He knows a little bit, but the others don't even know how to get started, and they don't want to learn."

"Luo Ping? It's... the nephew of Village Chief Luo Bo, right?" Although Gu Chen knew Luo Ping, he still had to pretend not to know clearly.

In this way, we can communicate with Xiao Yuanshan better, and by the way, we can also inquire about Luo Ping's situation from Xiao Yuanshan.

Xiao Yuanshan nodded silently, and said involuntarily: "Yes, Luo Ping is the nephew of Village Chief Luo, he knows a little bit."

"Uh..." Gu Chen hesitated for a moment, pretending to be curious and said, "By the way, Village Chief Xiao, what is the difference between this Luo Ping and his uncle Luo Bo?"

"Why did we find out that Luo Ping had a big fight with his uncle when we were interviewing outside, and his uncle Luo Bo wanted to transfer money to Luo Ping?"

"this……"

Feeling that the reporter is enough gossip, Xiao Yuanshan hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth: "Actually, it's nothing? It's just Luo Ping, the nephew of village chief Luo, who is doing business outside and owes a lot of money."

"But he has no ability to repay it himself, but in this way, he can only ask the clansmen in the village to borrow money."

"He came and went again and again, and borrowed money more times, which made his uncle disgusted."

"I heard that I have borrowed from all the elders in the village?" Liu Jingru asked.

"Well, almost, but our Xiao family didn't borrow it. After all, it's their Luo family's business."

"So, when Luo Ping asked me to borrow money, I flatly refused."

"What's the situation with this Luo Ping?" Lu Weiwei also pretended to be confused, and couldn't help shaking her head and sighing, and then said: "By the way, Village Chief Xiao, are you familiar with the photographers from the Photographers Association?"

"A photographer from the Photographers Association?" Xiao Yuanshan didn't understand.

So Lu Weiwei quickly explained: "The six men and one woman feel like they are all old mages, and the equipment makes me drool."

"I want to join this organization. If I have a chance, I can use their equipment to practice. I wonder if you can recommend it."

"Why do you want me to introduce you?" Xiao Yuanshan fanned the wind with a straw hat, and put the straw hat on his head again.

"I heard from Accountant Luo that you are very familiar with them. Moreover, they often came to the village to collect folk songs and often stayed at your house for dinner. Therefore, we feel that you should be very familiar with each other."

Gu Chen also followed Xiao Yuan's rhetoric and clarified the situation one by one.

Xiao Yuanshan frowned, but soon he grinned: "Are they? It's strange to say that our Fuxing Village is a bit bigger."

"Although the scenery is good, but you have been here once, and you can basically take pictures of all the scenery here."

"But they are good. They come every ten days and a half months. In fact, I don't know them very well. I just know the female photographer among this group."

"Female photographer?" Lu Weiwei immediately nodded and said in agreement, "Yes, there is a woman among them, the very cold one."

"Yes, it's her. She has a lot of promotional resources in her hands. If we want to expand our influence in Fuxing Village, we really have to rely on her help."

"Rely on her?" Liu Jingru asked weakly when she heard it: "But... what are her promotional resources? I know a big sister, and she also has a lot of promotional resources in her hands."

"Who is it?" Xiao Yuanshan asked.

"Xu Li, Sister Xu, she mainly does stage performances. She has a professional dance team and props, and her main business is also commercial performances. I wonder if her resources are better than the resources of the female photographer you mentioned? "

"Haha." Hearing what Liu Jingru said, Xiao Yuanshan laughed dryly, and quickly explained:

"Xu Li? Of course I know that Xu Li does have a lot of commercial performance promotion resources in Jiangnan City, but compared to this female photographer, she is a younger sister."

"Do you know? This female photographer, she is the president of Fengshang Media, Fengshang Media, have you heard of it?"

"Uh..." was also asked by Xiao Yuanshan, and Liu Jingru frowned slightly, thinking about it carefully.

After a while, she said: "I seem to have heard that the office is in the CBD of Jiangnan City?"

"That's the place." Xiao Yuanshan flicked his right index finger and explained with a smile:

"This fashion media has been deployed in Jiangnan City for many years, and it can be called the first echelon in the advertising industry."

"Even if many big names want to enter the Jiangnan market, it depends on the face of Fengshang Media Advertising Company."

"Because Fengshang Media has almost monopolized many billboard businesses in Jiangnan City, and it also accounts for a large proportion of various advertising channels."

After a pause, Xiao Yuanshan tried to calm down, and then said: "And I think so, since you are the president of Fengshang Media, well, you are interested in our Fuxing Village, which shows that our Fuxing Village is valuable."

"I'll treat her well, and then give us Fuxing Village some support in terms of business promotion, that's just a matter of her words."

With the back of his right hand clasped on his left palm, Xiao Yuanshan said again: "You guys say, it's just such a good resource, I don't have a good relationship with her, can I do it?"

"She belongs to the Photographers Association and has a good relationship with several other photographers. Then I will arrange meals for them to take pictures and let them go home happily."

"Is it necessary to come once every ten days and half a month? Or is it that this female CEO values ​​the value of certain things here?" Gu Chen also cut to the chase, directly opening the skylight to speak frankly.

...
