"Brother-in-law, isn't the Huang family's ancestral hall in Wenzhou? We got married there before!" After the film crew left, Leng Zhiruo, who had been in the back and hadn't shown herself, suddenly walked out curiously and asked in confusion.
She had held her wedding in the Huang family's ancestral hall with Huang He. She had always thought that Boss Huang's family was local, and she never expected that a Huang family from Yingxiong Town would suddenly appear.
"The Huang family here is indeed our Huang family, and the Huang family in Yizhou Province is also our old home!" Boss Huang said with emotion, "I checked the diary left by my father and found out that my father was not originally from the Wenzhou Huang family, but followed that shoemaker to Wenzhou and joined the Wenzhou Huang family!"
"The shoemaker he left with that year also had the surname Huang, was unmarried, and naturally had no children. After my father followed him, he treated him as his own son. My father also recognized him as his adoptive father and returned to Wenzhou with him. They even held a ceremony, which was considered joining the Wenzhou Huang family and becoming a local."
"Later, this adoptive father, who was my grandfather, joined the Wenzhou leather factory. When he raised my father to about 20 years old, he passed away due to illness, so my father took his grandfather's spot and also joined the Wenzhou leather factory!"
"So my father is not actually from Wenzhou. He should be from Yingxiong Town in Yizhou Province as seen in the video. At that time, he probably hated that place to death. There are no words in his diary, and I don't even know where my father's real hometown and relatives are!" Huang He explained.
"So that's how it is!" Leng Zhiruo nodded, then said emotionally, "Dad was so pathetic when he was young!"
"Yes, but it was precisely this hardship that tempered him!" Huang He and Leng Zhiruo chatted for a while longer, and Leng Zhiruo suddenly felt tired. Under Huang He's concern, she went to rest. As for our Boss Huang, after the film crew left, he quickly wiped away his tears and sighed, "Being an actor is not easy either. It took so long to get into character to cry. It's too difficult!"
After saying that, Huang He looked at the photo of his cheap old father again.
"I'm sorry, my cheap old father!" Huang He sighed, "I know this is great filial impiety to you, but for the lives of tens of thousands of people, I can only wrong you. But if you know this in the afterlife, you won't blame me, right!"
——————————
At this time, the whole country was paying close attention to Boss Huang. So on the third day after the interview, this special interview was broadcast.
As he was the only one who could interview the world's richest man face-to-face, this episode received extremely high attention, and many people stayed in front of the television to watch. The quality of the program did not disappoint. Boss Huang made several astonishing statements and pointed out many problems profoundly.
Later, during the reporter's free question session, the reporter boldly asked Boss Huang what he thought of China's future. Boss Huang smiled and said, "If the 19th century was the century of Britain, and the 20th century was the century of the United States, then I believe the 21st century will be the century of China."
Although China in 2008 had already shown signs of prosperity, most people still did not believe in China's future. Therefore, these words caused a minor debate.
As for the segment of family recognition that appeared at the end, it moved many people. Seeing Boss Huang crying so profusely on television made many people feel a sense of closeness. It turned out that the richest man was also human and could cry, and could cry so sadly and with such genuine emotion.
Of course, with this, no one would doubt whether Boss Huang's hometown was in Yizhou Province. Didn't they see how sad he was crying? Would anyone fabricate a hometown for themselves?
What would he gain from that!
The people of Yizhou Province were very excited. They never expected that the world's richest man would be one of their own. Now they had another topic to brag about.
And the most excited were probably the people of Wenhe County and Yingxiong Town.
The leaders of Wenhe County were not interested in Boss Huang at first. That evening, when the program was broadcast, he was watching a fishing show. He turned off the TV and went to bed at 11 p.m., maintaining a very healthy and regular routine.
At the same time, those who were familiar with this leader knew that they should absolutely not call the leader after 11 p.m., otherwise, it would be a big trouble. No matter how big the matter was, it had to be postponed until after 6:00 a.m. the next morning.
Of course, generally, there wouldn't be any major issues that required immediate attention at night, and it would be fine to postpone it to the next morning.
However, just as the leader got into bed and closed his eyes to fall asleep, the mobile phone by his pillow rang.
The leader's expression was initially distressed, but when he saw the caller ID, it was his secretary, which immediately made him serious.
His secretary had been with him for so many years. How could he not know his habit of not answering the phone after 11 p.m.? But now that he was calling directly, it clearly meant something big was happening, otherwise, he wouldn't be so bold.
So the leader immediately woke up, answered the phone, and indeed, the secretary hurriedly stated on the phone that he had just received a call from a municipal leader, who wanted the leader of Wenhe County to call him immediately.
The leader dared not delay. After a phone call, he learned that the world's richest man, who had been making headlines recently, was actually from his jurisdiction. This was a great event!
The municipal leader clearly pointed out on the phone that Wenhe County should exert its high initiative and actively invite this world's richest man to visit his hometown, and also invite this tycoon to contribute to the development of his hometown.
In short, in one sentence, they must find a way to invite Huang He to invest locally. After all, Wenhe County, and even the administrative region above it, was notoriously poor. It was almost impossible for local residents to develop on their own, so it was only possible through investment promotion.
However, this area was precisely mountainous and dangerous. Building roads was a very difficult and extremely costly matter. Apart from a few agricultural enterprises and the tourism industry, normal enterprises could not invest in these areas. Therefore, no matter how hard these leaders worked, it was difficult to attract large investments.
Now that Huang He, such a great benefactor, had fallen from the sky, they had to find a way to make him contribute to his hometown and help its development.
Wenhe County acted very quickly. They immediately sent a team to Wenzhou, led by the second-in-command, to warmly and sincerely invite Huang He to visit his hometown.
Huang He also warmly received this delegation from his hometown, treating them with very high standards. Boss Huang himself even accompanied them for a day. Finally, Boss Huang excitedly stated that he would definitely live up to the eager expectations of his fellow townsmen, visit his hometown's environment in a short period, and surely contribute to the development of his hometown.
This statement was naturally well-received by everyone. Boss Huang was also very true to his word. Not long after the delegation returned, he received a call from the relevant departments of Jiangnan Group to communicate and confirm Boss Huang's itinerary.
It was decided that the entire trip would last for three days. On the first day, they would visit and inspect Wenhe County to understand potential investment opportunities. On the second day, they would go to Yingxiong Town to see his relatives and stay in Yingxiong Town for one day. On the third day, they would continue to stay in Yingxiong Town and fly back in the afternoon, thus completing the entire trip.
It is worth mentioning that although Wenhe County stated that the reception expenses would be borne by themselves.
However, Jiangnan Group's attitude was very firm. They would absolutely not spend the money of their fellow villagers, let alone Wenhe County, which was a notoriously poor county. Therefore, all expenses would be borne by Jiangnan Group.
Even after the communication was completed, Jiangnan Group directly transferred 3 million yuan for the expenses, and the rest would be paid after the trip.
The entire Wenhe County was stunned. Three million yuan, given away without batting an eye. But for a three-day trip, and in such a poor place as Wenhe County, even if the reception standards were the highest throughout, it would not cost 3 million yuan.
The leaders of Wenhe County could only sigh that Boss Huang was truly thinking of his hometown people.
However, as soon as the itinerary was finalized, the city called. First, they praised the Wenhe County officials for their work and efforts, and then they stated that a three-day trip might be too short, and perhaps it would not allow for a comprehensive understanding of the entire region.
Therefore, they hoped that Wenhe County would try to extend the three-day trip to five days, and the extra two days would be used to visit Ba City, which Wenhe County belonged to, and so on.
This request put Wenhe County in a difficult position. But considering that they had a good opportunity and could not miss their brothers, they shamelessly called Jiangnan Group and proposed the idea of changing the itinerary.
Unexpectedly, the attitude of Jiangnan Group was unusually friendly. After listening to the other party's request, they immediately stated that they were very happy to have the opportunity to see more of their hometown's mountains and rivers.
Therefore, they not only agreed to the other party's request in full but even proactively increased the itinerary from five days to seven days. The teacher wanted to take this opportunity to see all the counties under Ba City, to see if they could create a regional linkage effect and carry out construction within the entire Ba City.
With Jiangnan Group being so accommodating, Ba City had nothing more to say. The two parties quickly finalized the new itinerary, which meant adding another four days of visits and inspections, thus completely finalizing the entire itinerary for this return visit to their hometown.
On February 4, 2008, Huang He, who had never returned to his hometown, finally returned to his hometown under the warm anticipation of his fellow townsfolk. Because both sides were very enthusiastic, the entire process went very smoothly. Boss Huang successfully saw his father's old house and a group of relatives and friends he had never contacted before.
There are currently a total of 19 blood relatives of Boss Huang, all descendants of his three great-uncles.
The three great-uncles had a total of 5 children, and these 5 children in turn gave birth to 7 children. These 7 children are Boss Huang's peers. As for the remaining 7 people, they are the children of these 7 peers. The oldest among them is already 17 years old and looks taller than Boss Huang!
