Jiang Huashu stood in front of the unfinished pharmaceutical factory, feeling a mixture of emotions. He knew full well that this pharmaceutical factory was not only the largest enterprise in the area, but also a tempting piece of "fat meat", attracting countless greedy eyes.

Looking back on his decades of doing business in the modern world, he's seen all kinds of people and dealt with all kinds of problems. Now, he's no longer surprised by the behavior of the nearby villagers. Back in the modern world, when his company expropriated land for a factory, the local village elders and clan leaders led the villagers into a frenzy, digging up roads, cutting off power and water, and even stealing cables in the middle of the night. All for one reason: money.

Now, despite the different time and space, people's greed remains the same. Jiang Huashu knows that if he wants to successfully build this pharmaceutical factory, he must face and resolve these challenges. He understands that this is not just a business competition, but also a battle of hearts and minds.

Why didn't people dare to find fault with pharmaceutical factories for decades? Because everything was state-owned before, it belonged to the country, so they didn't dare to do so.

Now pharmaceutical factories are contracted out to private individuals, and we see such tall buildings being built every day. Such a large factory is privately owned, so how rich must the boss be?

This big piece of fat meat is right next to my mouth every day, and I was just worried about finding something to eat, and then Qin Shuilian came to "deliver the meat"!

To keep the villagers in line, they had to see tangible benefits. Therefore, Jiang Huashu decided to take measures to ensure the smooth construction of the pharmaceutical factory while allowing the villagers to share in the dividends of development.

First, he actively negotiated with the local government and secured some policy support. He promised that after the pharmaceutical factory was completed, the commercial rights surrounding the factory would be divided equally among several nearby villages. Simply put, he intended to build several rows of stores near the factory and rent them out to the villagers. This way, the villagers would not only have businesses right at their doorstep but also earn a stable income through their labor. Crucially, the pharmaceutical factory would also receive monthly rent from the stores.

Secondly, Jiang Huashu also funded the construction of a wide road. While this was primarily intended to facilitate the transportation of goods to the pharmaceutical factory, it also improved local transportation. He also planned to invest in public facilities such as schools and medical stations, improving the villagers' quality of life. These initiatives resonated with the villagers, expressing Jiang Huashu's sincerity and goodwill, and filled them with anticipation for the pharmaceutical factory's construction.

Despite Jiang Huashu's efforts, there were always those who wanted to take advantage of the situation. Qin Shuilian and two other village elders were among the troublemakers. Acting as representatives of the villagers, they constantly made unreasonable demands to Jiang Huashu, hoping to gain more benefits.

Jiang Huashu was not bothered by these people's requests. If he blindly satisfied their greed, more people would join the ranks, bringing more trouble to the construction of the pharmaceutical factory. Therefore, he decided to take decisive measures to teach these people a profound lesson.

He first used legal means to refute the unreasonable demands of Qin Shuilian and others. He then organized a village meeting to explain the significance and value of establishing a private pharmaceutical factory and the difference between private factories and state-owned factories. At the meeting, Jiang Huashu's sincere and resolute words won the support and trust of the majority of villagers.
