Rebirth 1979: Hunting wild boars and saving educated youth

Chen Feng and Director Sun pondered it carefully for a while.

Chen Feng volunteered and said that he would be responsible for building a factory in Mashan Village. Director Sun nodded in agreement, and the two of them hastily signed an agreement.

Director Sun hurriedly went to report to his superiors with the agreement in his pocket, while Chen Feng turned around and returned to Mashan Village, diving into the preparations for building the factory.

This is the first time to build a factory, so we have to solve the land problem, which cannot be avoided by the village collective.

Chen Feng thought that it would be difficult to deal with Village Chief Ma, so he specially prepared a set of strategies to deal with it, ready to use both soft and hard tactics when Village Chief Ma made things difficult for him.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped into Village Chief Ma’s house, he was greeted by a smiling face.

Village chief Ma was extremely enthusiastic and kept calling Chen Feng "Brother Chen", which made Chen Feng feel uneasy.

"Brother Chen, you've brought great things to our village this time!" Village Chief Ma patted Chen Feng on the shoulder and spoke in official language, "To respond to the country's call and develop the rural economy, our village needs capable people like you to take the lead!"

When Chen Feng heard this, he was happy. Why is Village Chief Ma so easy to talk to today?

He took the opportunity to ask for land for factory construction. Village chief Ma agreed without hesitation and took the initiative to help solve various procedural issues.

This made Chen Feng secretly wonder, okay, it's always a good thing to successfully obtain land and build a factory.

In fact, Village Chief Ma has a clear mind.

How could he not feel jealous when he saw the villagers making money and building new houses thanks to Chen Feng's project?

Who doesn't want money? Even the village chief!

He originally wanted to find an opportunity to get close to Chen Feng, but when he thought of the previous unpleasantness, he couldn't bring himself to do it.

You dare not offend him. Now this guy is rich and powerful. Even Deputy Mayor Jin can't suppress him, let alone you, a village chief?

Now that Chen Feng has taken the initiative to come to him and proposed to build a factory and ask for his help, isn’t this a good opportunity to repair the relationship!

Village Chief Ma naturally gave his full support.

After obtaining the land, Chen Feng immediately started to set up the factory.

He thought that since it was a village-run factory, it didn't need to be too fancy, as long as it was practical.

So he mobilized the villagers to take action together.

Everyone responded to the call enthusiastically and was willing to follow him. After a period of intense work, a simple but sturdy brick and tile factory building rose from the ground in just a few days.

Although this factory is not a modern one, it is still a pretty good village-run factory these days!

Although this factory is not gorgeous, it exudes a sense of reality.

Red brick walls, gray tile roof, open door, and spacious space inside.

The factory is well organized. This side is the raw material area, that side is the processing area, and further in is the finished product area.

The villagers felt so proud when they looked at the factory they built with their own hands.

Chen Feng stood in front of the factory, watching all this, and felt a sense of accomplishment.

Once the factory is up and running, it will not only provide a good place for Phnom Penh dollars to go, but will also boost the economic development of Mashan Village, making his and the villagers' pockets fatter.

He said to the villagers around him: "Thank you for your hard work. When the factory makes money, we will all have a share!"

When the villagers heard this, their faces lit up with joy and they became more motivated.

In this way, Chen Feng's Mashan Village factory was successfully built.

However, building the factory is only the first step. To make the factory truly operational, the key lies in people.

As for workers, it's easy to find. People from this village, as well as those from neighboring villages, will definitely be happy to come here to work.

Chen Feng is capable of doing the job of a technician himself. He can teach while practicing and it is not a problem for him to train a few capable assistants.

During these days, the villagers have also accumulated a lot of experience in breeding Phnom Penh Yuan, and every household is familiar with the winemaking process.

The key is to strictly control the quality. I need to discuss this with Director Sun and ask him to send a few people from the Red Star Pharmacy to keep a close eye on the quality of each batch of Golden Edge Wine.

Chen Feng was well aware of the marketing and sales responsibilities, and he had to shoulder them himself. However, the remaining two positions, management and accounting, were a real headache for him.

Management isn't something that just anyone can do. Without experience, even if you put them in that position, they'll just be busy doing nothing and won't achieve anything meaningful.

Accounting, needless to say, requires training, double-entry bookkeeping, and the knowledge of vouchers and reports. Such people are hard to find these days!

The college entrance examination has been suspended for many years. Where can we find talents who understand management and accounting?

Even if there are any, they are all in large state-owned factories. Who would be willing to set up a factory in their village?

Chen Feng rubbed his temples, feeling a little troubled.

When he got home in the evening, he kept thinking about it while eating.

There was no rice in the bowl, but he was still using chopsticks to slurp food.

This scene made mother Chen Yufen burst into laughter, and even Yaya and Ning Yao were amused.

"Kid, why are you distracted while eating?" Chen Yufen asked with a smile.

"Brother, are you trying to pick up rice grains from the air?" Yaya joked with a crisp laugh.

Now that the family conditions are better, Yaya's personality has become more cheerful, and she looks like a lively little girl.

Chen Feng was stunned by what he said, then he waved his hand in a feigned anger, "Alright, alright, go eat your meal."

Seeing this, Ning Yao spoke gently, "Chen Feng, if you have something on your mind, just say it out loud. Don't keep it to yourself."

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng laid out the factory's difficulties in staff shortage, especially in management staff and accountants.

"In the factory, management, finance, and sales are the three pillars. I personally handle sales, but management and finance need to be shared with others. I can't shoulder the burden of three people alone. Even if I had unlimited energy and time, it wouldn't make sense. Too much power is concentrated, and the organizational structure is unbalanced..."

Ning Yao listened carefully. Although he didn't fully understand, he could feel the thoughts and knowledge contained in the words, and couldn't help but admire them secretly.

She thought for a moment and said, "I don't understand management, but as for accounting, I happen to know someone who is suitable."

When Chen Feng heard this, his eyes lit up immediately, "Who? Can you come?"

"She's a friend of mine, also an educated youth, named Xu Wei." Ning Yao sighed softly at this point. "Her family used to be private entrepreneurs in Shanghai, but later suffered some setbacks. She learned accounting from her family when she was young, so it's a family tradition. Sigh, it hasn't been easy for her these past two years..."

After hearing this, Chen Feng had a rough idea in his mind and became very interested. "Can we ask her to come over?"

"Okay, I'll ask someone to go to Hu Shiwa tomorrow to give her a message and ask her to come to Mashan Village to meet me." Ning Yao agreed readily.

Three days later, Chen Feng met Xu Wei who was with Ning Yao at Mashan Village Primary School.

After Ning Yao brought her the letter, she asked for leave without hesitation, and even had a big unpleasantness with the village party secretary of Hu Shiwa Village because of this.
