After Professor Ling left, Xiang Nan began to write "The Unknown People" to commemorate those people who silently contributed to poverty alleviation work.

Professor Ling, Ma Defu, Zhang Shucheng... they could have lived a very comfortable life.

For example, Professor Ling can take classes and conduct scientific research in school without being exposed to the wind, rain, or sun...

Ma Defu and Zhang Shucheng can also sit in the office, have a cup of tea, a cigarette, and read a newspaper for a long time, and their lives can also be very comfortable.

But for the sake of the people, they all gave up their comfortable lives, worked hard, and made selfless contributions. Even when they were misunderstood and reviled, they were able to continue to persevere.

This spirit is really great.

Xiang Nan originally didn't believe that there was such a fool in the world. But now, he was deeply shocked and felt that his soul had been baptized.

Therefore, he wrote "The Unknown Man" very carefully, and it can be said that he worked hard. After finishing writing, he felt weak for several days.

…

Subsequently, this 70,000-word novella was sent to People's Literature Magazine by Xiang Nan.

After the magazine read this article, they immediately decided to publish it as soon as possible.

Subsequently, "The Unknown Man" was published in the magazine "People's Literature" and was reprinted and reported by major official media again.

First of all, "The Unknown" celebrates those unknown poverty alleviation heroes who make selfless contributions, and the official media wants to vigorously promote this positive energy.

Secondly, the story of "The Unknown One" is really well written, and the three protagonists are flesh-and-blood, vivid and touching, so it is naturally popular.

"The Unknown Man" was so widely praised that after reading this article, senior executives called Nie Xia to ask for details. Naturally, Exia took it very seriously and immediately started investigating and learned that the three "Unknown Man"

Each protagonist has a prototype.

It was Zhang Shucheng, the former director of the Hoisting Office, Ma Defu, the head of Jintan Village, and Ling Yinong, a professor who supported agriculture in southern Fujian... These three people worked hard and dedicated their lives to help immigrants live a better life. They really made a lot of contributions.

.

For this reason, Zhang Shucheng and Ma Defu were named and praised by their superiors. At the end of the year, they were awarded the title of Provincial Advanced Individual in Poverty Alleviation, and they were officially recognized by their superiors.

Professor Ling, who is far away in Xinjuan, has also received many honors, and even received hundreds of thousands more yuan in scientific research funding.

…

Entering 1999, Xiang Nan discussed with Li Shuihua and planned to have a child.

First of all, they are both very old. Xiang Nan is twenty-nine and Shui Hua is twenty-six. If they don't give birth, they will soon become advanced mothers.

Secondly, in the past two years, the operations of their factories have been relatively smooth and there have been no major incidents, so they can just seize the opportunity.

Shuihua naturally agreed very much with the proposal given to Xiang Nan.

Over the years, it was only with the help, encouragement and encouragement of the Communist Party that she grew from a poor girl in a ravine to a private entrepreneur worth hundreds of millions.

While she was growing rapidly, Xiang Nan was growing even faster than her.

Breweries, canneries, fruit vinegar factories, livestock farms, vegetable greenhouses, herbal cultivation... various industries are booming, not only making money for themselves, but also benefiting hundreds of thousands of people.

Therefore, she is grateful, worshipful and loving to Xiang Nan.

Shui Hua immediately decided to leave the garment factory to her subordinates for the time being, so she could prepare for her pregnancy at home with peace of mind and prepare to have a baby.

…

In June 1999, after Xiang Nan's hard work, a young seedling finally grew in Shuihua's belly.

Therefore, she completely put down her work and raised her baby at home.

Xiang Nan only works for half an hour every day, making decisions and managing accounts. The rest of the day is spent at home with Shuihua.

The year 1999 was relatively smooth.

Beauty Clothing continues to expand. It was previously an unknown brand full of local flavor. Now, after years of development, it has become a well-known clothing brand.

There are brand stores in more than 30 provinces and more than 600 cities across the country. Some are directly owned stores and some are franchised stores, and the total number has exceeded 800.

Last year, 130 million pieces were sold, with sales exceeding 5.3 billion yuan and net profit of 340 million yuan. Compared with the same period, the results have increased significantly, which is quite good.

As for Xiangnan's breweries, fruit vinegar factories, canneries, etc., their development this year is also very good.

Although the wines of Quanjun Winery have only been established for three years, they have already gained quite a reputation.

First of all, the price is affordable. Wine imported from abroad, with a foreign brand, can be sold for hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands of RMB.

In comparison, the high-end wines from Quanjun Winery only cost a few hundred yuan, while the low-end wines only cost thirty or fifty yuan. And they are made from real grapes, not low-quality wines that are blended with alcohol, spices, and pigments. They are cheap and good quality. If it’s a good product, there will naturally be people who know how to appreciate it.

Secondly, the aroma of wine is also afraid of deep alleys, so Xiang Nan has been helping Quanjun Liquor Company in publicity in recent years.

Or they would advertise on TV stations, touting the wine produced by Quanjun Liquor Industry as being brewed using the authentic ancient method. The so-called [Grape Wine Luminous Cup] represents the authentic ancient brewing method from the Western Regions, touting it as a real Chinese wine, playing the patriotic card.

Otherwise, the wine is sent abroad to participate in the selection of some red wine awards. Regardless of whether the award is formal or not, it is a pheasant award. Anyway, when it comes back to China, it will be a big boast.

A lie repeated a thousand times becomes the truth. After several years of marketing, the wines of Quanjun Winery have become very well-known and their sales are very good.

In 1998, we sold 7,500 tons of wine, with sales reaching 650 million and net profit of 230 million, which is very good.

The cannery is also developing very well now, and its main products are canned grapes and canned mushrooms.

The sales of canned grapes are very stable. Only in winter, the sales will surge. Because there are more weddings in rural areas in winter, canned grapes are considered as a dessert as a dish.

Canned mushrooms are now mainly used for export. Nowadays, Fulinmen brand canned mushrooms are very popular overseas.

Firstly, the price is affordable and the common people can afford it; secondly, it tastes very good. The climate and soil of Yuexia are very suitable for growing mushrooms. The mushrooms are plump and plump, so they taste very chewy.

…

As for fruit vinegar, the current sales volume is also good. It is not sold as a drink, but as a health product, so the price is higher and the profit is naturally higher.

To be honest, a bottle of fruit vinegar costs less than 50 cents, but can be sold for eight or nine yuan, which shows the high profit. However, its marketing expenses are also huge, with annual advertising expenses alone amounting to more than 50 million. , accounting for one-tenth of the total expenditure, which shows how exaggerated the marketing is.

As for greenhouses, they have also developed very well in recent years. The cucumbers, tomatoes, beans, lettuce, etc. they produce are very popular, greatly enriching the vegetable baskets of Yinchuan people.

Experts from Northwest Agricultural and Forestry University are still trying to grow wild vegetables such as shepherd's purse, gray cabbage, bitter cabbage, and malantou in greenhouses.

With the improvement of residents' living standards, these wild vegetables are becoming more and more popular and expensive.
