Chapter 1005: Five-legged Rabbit

The test of the AX100 engine began at 8:00 am.

"Ignite!" With Chen Dao's order, the engine started with a soft sound.

A group of technicians surrounded the engine, listening to the engine sound, observing the changes on the engine surface, and recording various data.

Five minutes, ten minutes, fifteen minutes, the engine continued to work until twenty minutes later, when changes began to occur. The sound became muffled and crackling, the body temperature overheated, and a burnt smell filled the air.

Chen Dao ordered the engine to stop.

Obviously there are still some problems with the engine, but the fact that it can work for more than 20 minutes shows that it is really not far from success.

Maybe it will really succeed when Wan Feng comes back next time.

But as a result, the plan to launch the motorcycle this year may have to be postponed.

Engine success, engine approval, and vehicle approval all take time. It is certain that the plan to launch the vehicle will be postponed to next year.

Wan Feng encouraged these technicians who were working on public relations day and night, then walked out of the Nanwan factory and came to his uncle's small hardware factory.

The two children went to school, and the grandmother and the old aunt were busy doing something in a vacant lot behind the small factory.

When Wan Feng got closer, he saw that they were clearing land in preparation for planting vegetables.

Wan Feng was speechless. Isn’t this just idleness?

"Grandma, why don't you just enjoy your life peacefully? You and my aunt are so idle that we're here to plant some crops. You can buy any vegetables you want at the farmers' market."

"Silly child, you can't be idle all the time. If grandma doesn't do something to move her body more, she might get sick."

This makes a lot of sense. It is indeed not a good thing to be idle all the time, especially for older people.

Wan Feng thought that he didn't have anything to do this morning, so he rolled up his sleeves and picked up the hoe to start digging ridges.

"Oh my, my grandson is so precious, how could he do this? Put it down!"

"It's okay. I don't have anything to do this morning. I haven't done farm work in a long time, so I might as well move around today."

After his rebirth, Wan Feng rarely used shovels to do farm work. This was his first time doing farm work seriously.

Grandma and my aunt grow quite a few kinds of vegetables, including cucumbers, beans, tomatoes, peppers, etc., which they both plant and cultivate.

Wan Feng worked and chatted with his grandmother and aunt, and before he knew it, the morning had passed.

"Can we have lunch here?"

"No, I have some things to do at the garment factory, so I'll eat in the cafeteria there."

I worked up a sweat, and although my body felt sticky, I felt a lot better.

Seeing Wan Feng's rosy complexion and the heat coming out of his body, Luan Feng was a little puzzled: "Did you go up the mountain to chase rabbits?"

"Yeah! I just saw a five-legged rabbit behind the Nanwan Factory, and I chased it for a long time."

"Did you catch up?" Luan Feng simply ignored the loophole of the five legs.

"I caught it. The rabbit said it was the king of rabbits in this mountain. If I didn't catch it, it would give me a few rabbits every winter."

"And then?"

"Then some foolish people believed it."

Having been fooled by this guy again, Luan Feng glared at Wan Feng angrily.

"Don't fool me anymore."

"Who fooled you? You believed such a simple lie. You'd better not go out in your life. If you go out, you will definitely be deceived and sold, and you might even help them count the money."

Luan Feng giggled: "No way!"

After having lunch in the canteen of the garment factory, Wan Feng strolled to the entrance of Nandawan. Coincidentally, Han Guangjia had just finished his lunch and came out of his house to his construction site.

The two men squatted in front of the grassy hillside, looking at the two-story building and chatting.

"When did Liang Hongying and I come back last night?"

Han Guangjia looked at Wan Feng in surprise: "Did you see us?"

"Haha, of course I saw it."

"What did you see?" Han Guangjia seemed a little nervous.

"You two went to the snack bar to eat, and then walked back under the moonlight. You two even kissed on the way back."

Han Guangjia looked at Wan Feng without blinking. How could this guy speak as if it were true?

"What are you doing? Are you trying to silence someone? It's just a few kisses, look how scared you are."

"There was no one around when we kissed. I watched very carefully."

Look, what a simple child.

"Do you want to go with me to the north for a stroll today as autumn begins?" Wan Feng handed a cigarette to Han Guangjia.

"What are you going to the north for?" Han Guangjia asked as he took the cigarette and lit it.

"I'm doing business with the Russians. I have three people who used to be from the military reconnaissance company. I told them about you, and they admire you very much."

"What am I going to do? I don't know how to trade."

"Protect me! Your security company is just for bodyguards, right? If you go there to protect my safety, why don't I give you 30,000 or 50,000 a year?"

Thirty or fifty thousand seems like a lot of money.

Han Guangjia scratched his head: "It seems like a good idea, but I have to wait for the building to be completed and I have to hire people. I can't leave!"

"Haven't you already recruited some people? Why don't you pick two of them to be captain and vice-captain and have them lead the training and missions?"

After the New Year, Han Guangjia recruited more than 30 people, all of whom were recently discharged soldiers. These people had not been demobilized from the army for long, so there was no problem with training. Now several factories in Nandawan use them as security guards.

Nandawanli has now approved the construction requests of more than a dozen factories. All of them are manufacturers that provide supporting services to the Nanwan Factory and want to set up branch factories here. In addition, dozens of supporting factories of the Nanwan Factory have the intention to build factories here and are currently seeking consultation.

It is said that Li Quan is so busy now that he wishes he had three heads and six arms.

Once these factories are completed, the security company will need a lot of people just for security purposes.

"How many more people do you think I need to recruit?"

"There will be no fewer than fifty factories settling in Nan Da Wan in the next three years. Even if each factory needs two security guards, that's going to require around a hundred people. If you add a bodyguard team, you'll probably need around thirty or twenty. So, your security company, including the odd jobs and support staff, will need to have around a hundred and fifty people. You should recruit accordingly."

This does not include the hotel service staff. A hotel must have 20 to 30 chefs, purchasers and waiters. Do you have the nerve to call yourself a security company if you don’t have a team of 200 people?

"I also estimated that there were so many people."

"Oh, right, I have something to warn you about. I'm telling you to run a security company, not a gang. Don't let your security company become a bully and cause widespread complaints. That's not what I want to see."

"Brother, don't worry. We are from the military after all, and we can't bring shame to the army."

This is best.
