Reborn in 1994, escaping from marriage and going sea fishing, I won!

Liu Yiwen explained to his brother, "Third brother, I do need a lot of construction workers here, and I can guarantee their salaries. But there's a problem. Have you ever thought about this? You're the one who pushed this thing. What if these men make money outside and end up with other women, breaking up their families? And you're the one who organized them to leave? What will you do?"

Liu Yibang was stunned. With such a long distance between them, it was indeed easy for problems to arise for a couple to be separated for a long time.

Liu Yiwen continued, "If you really want to arrange it, it's best for both husband and wife to go out! The key is that since they are a couple, they have children. If the parents are not around, the elderly will easily spoil the children, which is not good for their growth."

Liu Yibang smiled bitterly. He certainly didn't want local people to go out to work as long as they could find jobs locally. "Second brother, I would like to attract investment, but the situation here is not very good. There is no advantage for the time being!"

Liu Yiwen replied: "So, I have been thinking about it these past few days, and I have also discussed it with Meilan, Xiaoyu and others. I have to build a few factories for you in the town."

"Factory? The most common crop here is potatoes. Do you want to make vermicelli?" Liu Yibang asked.

Liu Yiwen replied: "It's really hard to buy pure vermicelli on the market now. You don't even know what's added to it! Potato vermicelli factories are indeed well-run. Without any additives, they can still be sold at a high price in big cities."

"Your sister-in-law has had pregnancy reactions recently and can't eat anything. When I was shopping with her, she smelled a snack in the hands of other children and her mouth started watering. They're called potato chips, fried and made from potatoes. We could open a snack chip factory."

"There's a small freight station in your town, and we can ship all of this stuff out! Rail transport is relatively cheap. I think this is feasible. Also, you produce cotton there, so we can make a big deal out of it!"

Liu Yibang blinked his eyes. "Second brother, I think the two things you mentioned can be done. Regarding cotton, there are three major textile mills in the county, and they're all going bankrupt! Many laid-off workers are making a fuss!"

Liu Yiwen smiled and said, "Of course, this cotton isn't used to weave fabric. Instead, it's used to make diapers for children and sanitary napkins for women. Just think about how many children there are in the world, and almost all women of childbearing age need sanitary napkins. That's a huge market."

"Using cotton is a bit more expensive, so we can go for the high-end route! Domestic sales may not be huge, but we can export! Then the price can be higher, and we can also employ a lot of workers. I'm looking into the relevant equipment!"

Hearing this, Liu Yibang scratched his head. He had learned about diapers from his nephew Liu Xiaobao, and they were indeed quite convenient. As for sanitary napkins, he had learned about them from Cao Yuanyuan, whom he had bought for her before.

"Who will invest in this factory? I can't work here forever, but the factory has to stay here so I can take care of it. If I stop working here, I might not be able to take care of it. And since you and Meilan can't come here often, this investment might be affected."

Liu Yiwen replied, "Don't we have an investment group? We're collaborating with the local government through group investment. We provide the capital, the local government provides the land, and we take 70% of the profits, while the local government takes 30%. We own the brand and sales channels, and that place is just a processing plant!"

"If the locals want to take over the factory, then give it to them! They won't be able to use the brand name anyway. For us, it's just a matter of changing factories."

Liu Yibang heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this: "That's good! Although I hope to get help, I can't let our family lose money to gain publicity!"

"Of course!" Liu Yiwen replied with a smile, "Don't worry, I've thought about this a long time ago! As for the vermicelli factory, let your local people run it! They can make simple potato vermicelli, or they can make it into a spicy and sour snack. After brewing, pour the seasoning on it and it's delicious. Just like instant noodles."

Liu Yibang blinked his eyes: "Second brother, can it be sold?"

Liu Yiwen replied: "If you think this is too big a step, then just make potato vermicelli! Pure!"

"Okay!" Liu Yibang nodded. "Then I'll take a look over here first! No rush."

Liu Yiwen smiled and said, "I've already discussed the production of sanitary napkins and diapers with Ye Qiang, and we've already started! We'll send a manager to inspect your business when the time comes."

"Welcome!" Liu Yibang smiled. This is indeed a cotton-producing area. If they can really make it, this will be a very good way out.

Not only can it be sold domestically, but the containers can also be transported directly from the railway to the port and then loaded onto ships for shipment.

After Liu Yibang hung up the phone, he called Ji Heng again and told him that the labor supply was suspended.

Ji Heng was surprised: "It's only been a while, why did you change your mind again?"

Liu Yibang certainly couldn't say he didn't want to take responsibility. He smiled and replied, "The effectiveness of going out to work is immediate, and you can get paid in a very short time. But the result is obvious: young people who go out are unable to take care of their parents or their children."

"After much thought, I decided to start with local agriculture and industry! I'll vigorously develop agriculture, plant potatoes and cotton, and introduce new technologies for animal husbandry. I just happened to contact an investment company and they're willing to invest here. Take it slow, and everything will work out!"

Ji Heng laughed when he heard this: "You make sense! Making money is important, but family is also very important! Well, if you can't take care of your parents and educate your children because of making money, there will be big problems."

"Yibang, our company is planning to go to developed cities like Shanghai and Shenzhen to attract investment these days. You're from there, could you introduce me to some channels?"

Although Ji Heng's area is in the eastern coastal region, he relies on the local private economy and has to introduce foreign investment.

To be honest, Liu Yibang felt a little envious. Even if he wanted to go to those high-end investment promotion conferences, he couldn't.

So poor!

Can't take it!

"Okay!" Liu Yibang replied, "My second brother has a friend who specializes in investment! He has a wide network of contacts. I'll give you his email address. Please prepare the relevant information and send it over."

Before coming, Ye Qiang had told him that if any of his friends had good projects or wanted to attract investment, they could contact him.

Ye Qiang's investment company now covers a wide range of areas, including his own investments and those he helps others with. Such connections are very useful to Ji Heng.

Ji Heng was extremely grateful: "Yibang, thank you so much! If you need anything, just let me know! I will do my best."

"Help each other!" Liu Yibang replied. This road is very tortuous and full of setbacks, but it may be easier if there are like-minded people walking together.
