Go to the junk village, see the billion dollar villa

When it comes to Nghe An, if you ask about Dien Thap commune, Dien Chau district, no one will not know. This place is very famous for its wealth. If in the past, Dien Thap was known as the village of scrap metal, now, with billion-dollar villas growing close together, it has become a "villa village".

On both sides of the road to the center of Dien Thap commune are rows of adjacent villas.

Being a purely agricultural commune, each household has a few acres of contracted rice fields, so people have to work hard everywhere to make a living. Most of them go to collect scrap to make a living and also to serve the traditional bronze casting profession in the commune.

When they got information about low scrap prices in Laos, Dien Thap people flocked to Laos to buy and bring recycled household products to exchange and trade.

After being purchased, the scrap is transported back to the country to be sorted, recycled, and then brought back to Laos for sale. Just like that, the trucks are like shuttles running to Laos and then back to the country, bringing a considerable income to the people of Dien Thap.

Having a stable capital, since the year 2000, Dien Thap people have competed to build multi-storey houses. In just a short time, Dien Thap has a completely new face, with billion-dollar villas located close together, forming a long street along the commune center.

Stately, magnificent villas like this one in the "scrap village" are not rare.

According to statistics, the whole commune has over 1,000 people regularly doing business and trading in Laos; about 40 households have established large and small agencies to collect goods to supply to Laos.

From the scrap metal trade, Dien Thap commune has become one of the richest communes in Nghe An province. Currently, there are hundreds of rich households, countless villas, not to mention hundreds of family cars, including dozens of billion-dollar cars.

Billionaire Villagethanks to going abroad

Do Thanh Commune, Yen Thanh District (Nghe An) used to be a poor area, people's lives mainly depended on rice. However, Do Thanh is located in a low-lying area, flooded all year round, so crop failure is more common than profit.

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, people from Do Thanh commune (Yen Thanh) began to export labor to Germany, Poland, England, Australia, etc. to seek business opportunities. At first, only a few people from the whole commune went, but later, when they saw that the business was good, they returned and brought their brothers and relatives to go abroad to earn a living. Thus, the number of people "going to the West" increased day by day.
