Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

With no way out outside and his family unable to leave his job at the farm, Guo Lin, despite his pent-up anger, had no choice but to continue working at the farm.

Two hours ago, Guo Lin was criticized by the factory director again, who said that the technical department was overstepping its bounds. They only needed to ensure that all the fattened pigs in the farm did not get sick, and that the quality of the pig feed was none of their business.

Despite Guo Lin's best efforts and the use of every reason he could think of to persuade the factory manager not to reduce the corn ratio in the pig feed, arguing that it would definitely affect the quality of the pork, the factory leaders were unwilling to give up the huge benefits that purchasing pig feed would bring them and chose to refuse without hesitation.

When I got home, I locked myself in my room and sulked.

"Bang bang bang..."

A sudden, urgent knocking sounded at the door, pulling Guo Lin back to reality from his vexation.

"Didn't I tell you? I'm not eating tonight, so don't bother me..." Guo Lin shouted angrily toward the door.

"Old Guo... someone's looking for you... saying they have something very important to discuss with you..." His wife's voice soon rang out at the door.

Guo Lin's first reaction was that something had happened at the farm.

Although he was very dissatisfied with the factory manager's reduction of pig feed, he was still the deputy factory manager of the farm.

As long as you're in office, you still have to fulfill your responsibilities. Hurry up and open the door and go outside.

Wang Dong was sitting in a chair in the living room drinking tea when he saw Guo Lin come out, so he stood up from the chair.

Guo Lin's first reaction was confusion.

Because he didn't know Wang Dong at all, and he was 100% certain that the Wang Dong in front of him did not belong to the breeding farm.

His brows furrowed instinctively, and he asked with a face full of doubt, "Comrade, I don't think I know you... May I ask what you need me for?"

Wang Dong is very adept at manipulating people's hearts.

He was well aware of the predicament Guo Lin was facing, and immediately gave him a reply that was both anticipated and incomprehensible to Guo: "Deputy Factory Director Guo..."

"What I'm about to tell you is related to your future..."

"Would you do me the honor of coming outside to chat with me..."

"If I remember correctly..."

“My two nephews and nieces will be starting school soon… And because your house is too small, they are still sleeping in the same room with you…”

"But because the family has no money, these two issues have not yet been resolved..."

"The problem we're about to discuss might just be able to help Deputy Factory Director Guo solve it all at once."

Before Guo Lin could even speak, his wife's eyes were already shining.

Seeing that many people around them have moved to bigger houses, while their family of six is ​​still living in a house of less than 50 square meters, it would be a lie to say they are not anxious.

Regardless of Wang Donglai's purpose in seeking out her husband, as long as he can help the family solve the problems of housing and children's schooling, he will be a benefactor to the Guo family.

He immediately replied, "Old Guo..."

What are you still standing here for?

"Are we expect our son and daughter to sleep in the same room as us after they start school...?"

"I can't afford to lose face like that..."

"Since they've contacted you about something, then go and talk to them..."

Guo Lin only realized what was going on after his wife reminded him. Although he didn't understand why the other party wanted to hire a deputy factory director like him who had no real power.

But if it could truly help him solve his current predicament without breaking the law, Guo Lin would definitely seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

He immediately asked, "May I ask your surname, comrade...?" "My surname is Wang, and my name is Wang Dong..." Wang Dong replied with a smile.

Seeing that Guo Lin was still looking at him with a puzzled expression, Wang Dong spoke again: "You should have heard of the Dongjun Hotel in Beijing, right..."

"I am the owner of Dongjun Hotel..."

"If Deputy Factory Director Guo doesn't mind, I'll treat you to dinner at Dongjun Restaurant tonight..."

“My sister-in-law, nephew, and niece will also come over. After dinner, we can discuss the important matters properly.”

Before the issue is clarified, Guo Lin certainly won't easily take advantage of Wang Dong.

Although Wang Dong's proposal was very tempting, and his wife couldn't help but tug at her clothes to indicate that she agreed to Wang Dong's proposal, Guo Lin still frowned and refused.

"Mr. Wang... let's skip the meal..."

"Let's talk things over first..."

Wang Dong knew that the other party was a very principled person. Otherwise, with his position as deputy factory director, he would not have allowed his family to live in such poverty if he were even slightly clever, without even a decent house.

Soon the two arrived at a private room in a teahouse.

After the waiter poured them tea, prepared snacks, and closed the door, Guo Lin, who had been holding back all the way, finally couldn't take it anymore and asked directly, "Boss Wang..."

"I've heard of Dongjun Restaurant. It has four branches in Beijing. It's a very large restaurant, and its daily turnover is almost ten thousand yuan."

"I'm just a deputy factory director in name only, and we don't seem to have any connection whatsoever..."

"Even if Dongjun Restaurant wants to buy pork, they should go to the factory manager and the others. It's no use coming to me."

"And pork from farms is too expensive..."

"Dongjun Restaurant wouldn't waste money buying pork from a farm; they'd buy it from the countryside."

"I wonder why you've come to see me, Mr. Wang?"

Wang Dong took a sip of tea, waiting until the other party's curiosity was fully piqued before speaking: "Factory Director Guo..."

"There's something you're wrong about..."

"Dongjun Restaurant now has six branches, not four, and the remaining two branches will open soon."

"Besides these six mid-to-high-end restaurants, I also plan to open a chain store specializing in fried chicken in Beijing..."

"At that time, the six restaurants plus the fried chicken chain will consume more than ten fat pigs, hundreds of free-range chickens, hundreds of ducks, a dozen or twenty sheep, and hundreds of kilograms of fish every day..."

"If we source everything from outside, we risk having our supply cut off at any time, and the purchase price is also very high, which leads to a surge in the restaurant's costs."

"To solve this problem, I want to build a large-scale breeding farm around Beijing, which will be responsible for raising fat pigs, chickens, ducks, goats, and even various kinds of fish... to supply ourselves, reduce intermediate links, and thus reduce costs."

"I'm a chef by trade, I only know how to cook and run a restaurant, I don't know anything about raising livestock..."

"I heard that Director Guo is frustrated at the Fifth Breeding Farm, and that he has a lot of breeding experience, so I was thinking of hiring Deputy Director Guo to be the director of my breeding farm..."

“In addition to a fixed monthly salary of 350 yuan, I will also give you a 1% share of the farm’s profits.”

"I guarantee your annual income will not be less than 10,000 yuan."

"I heard that you have trained a lot of apprentices at your farm. If they also want to change jobs, they can come and work at my farm. I guarantee that their annual income will not be less than two thousand yuan."

"If you have good skills and become a factory leader, your total income will definitely be no less than five thousand yuan." (End of Chapter)
