Reborn during the early days of China’s reform and opening, the narrator finds himself in the 1980s countryside. In this setting, the past is still a cold reference, yet it is also a fresh start....
Xiao Liang has had a smooth life in recent years. Since he discovered the treasure of Wahou, his reputation in Sutun Agricultural Materials Company has been growing.
When he first took on the contract, he asked Wan Feng about it. After Wan Feng gave him some advice, he went back and won the contract with the agricultural supplies company with a plan that no one else could match.
In recent years, some products produced by Wahou Machinery Factory and Wahou Agricultural Implements Repair Factory have been the main sales force on his company's shelves, and have indeed brought him very good business income.
Upon hearing that Wan Feng had opened a new factory and produced a four-wheeled agricultural vehicle, he wanted to underwrite the first batch of products on the spot.
His shout made some other dealers angry.
"Hey, Lao Xiao, what do you mean? You've already booked us to come and watch the fun?"
"Exactly. You've made sure we're left starving."
Xiao Liang said bluntly: "What's the matter? If you can eat it all in one go, I'll give it to you."
"You're just being argumentative. We can't not eat it all, and we can't just keep it to ourselves. At least everyone should share some, right?"
"You all can point out where I can show my presence." Xiao Liang said proudly.
"This guy is here to show off, beat him up!"
So Xiao Liang ran away with his head in his hands and ran directly into the gate of Nanwan Factory.
Although the Nanwan factory is well prepared, due to time constraints, it can only assemble dozens of products a day.
Of course, these products cannot be taken away by one person alone, and everyone has to share them.
Xiao Liang was allocated five cars, which made him very dissatisfied. He held Wan Feng's hand and said that he was not kind enough, saying that he had made great contributions to opening up the market for Wahou Machinery Factory.
"Just be content. The least dealer only got two."
"That won't work. Dealers are different in terms of their quality. I think they should give me at least ten units."
"Isn't it enough to just give you the agency rights for the Shenyang area? You're such a slow-paced person."
Xiao Liang immediately turned his anger into joy and pulled Wan Feng to treat him to a meal.
The production model of Nanwan Factory is still to produce core components by itself and outsource other equipment.
On the premise that the engine is produced by the diesel engine factory, the core components they produce themselves are the gearbox and rear axle.
An assembly line designed by Chen Dao himself can assemble more than 30 agricultural vehicles a day, and two lines can only produce 60 vehicles a day.
The workshop reserved for agricultural vehicles can only operate one production line at most. Even if this line is put into operation, the annual output will only be 30,000 vehicles.
Judging from the sales of four-wheeled and three-wheeled vehicles at Wahou Machinery Factory in recent years, this scale is still a bit small.
However, there is no more space in the Nanwan factory, and the rest of the space is reserved for motorcycles.
The factory area seems to be a little small. It would have been better if it had been built on an area of 200 acres.
At this rate, the factory needs to be expanded.
Fortunately, there is still a large area left to the south of Nanwan Factory and up to Wanfeng at the foot of Nanda Mountain, which will be used in the future.
Now, the instant noodle factory and the agricultural vehicle factory have also started production, and it is time for me to set off back to Heilongjiang.
My father will come again in a couple of days. Wait until he finishes his business and then go back with him.
A strange scene has formed in Nandawan. No matter whether it is the Nanwan Factory, the instant noodle factory, or even the garment factory, there are fleets of cars waiting to pick up goods outside the gate every day.
So there is an urgent need for hotels and inns here.
Han Guangjia stood on the avenue and looked at the convoy waiting for the goods in the area of Nanwan Factory in Nandawanli, and sighed at the persistence of these dealers.
They waited patiently even in such a cold day.
I finally understood why Wan Feng wanted to turn the entrance area of South Big Bend into an entertainment and leisure area.
He wanted his building to rise immediately, but the weather did not allow it.
Since the building cannot be constructed until the beginning of next spring, should I do something now?
Hiring!
Originally, he wanted to wait until the building was completed so that the security company had a base before starting to recruit people, but now the booming scene of several factories in Nandawan made him feel that it would be better for him to recruit people now.
The people we recruit now and train will come in handy during the Chinese New Year.
As for the venue, the old Wanfeng garment factory in the yard of Jiangwei Brigade is still idle, so I rented its original dormitory to temporarily let the recruits live there.
Having made up his mind, Han Guangjia prepared to ask Wan Feng about the things to pay attention to when recruiting.
A few girls walked out of the garment factory gate, playing and laughing as they walked. They were probably employees who had off work and came to Wahou to visit the market.
Seeing that these girls were about to approach, Han Guangjia, who was originally going to go into Nandawan to find Wan Feng, suddenly turned around like a rabbit and ran towards Shuangqiao Store.
Because he saw one of the girls who scared him.
Liang Hongying!
Now he doesn't even dare to enter Nandawan, and even if he does, he will do so when Liang Hongying is on duty.
According to Wan Feng, this woman was crazy. She actually chased him relentlessly. He had been bathed in blood on the battlefield and was actually very afraid of seeing Liang Hongying.
She also had feelings for Liang Hongying, but after knowing Liang Hongying's background, she wisely chose to retreat.
The two of them are not from the same world, and their social status is not compatible, so there is basically no possibility for them to be together.
Han Guangjia thought that Liang Hongying and the others were going to the big market in Wahou, so they hid in the small shop.
In winter, there are still some idle people in the shop.
If there are idle people in Jiangwei, they are indeed idle people. To put it bluntly, they are real lazy people.
Lazy people can be found everywhere in the countryside and are not rare animals. One notable thing these lazy people have in common is that almost none of them have wives.
It is precisely because they have no wives that they become lazy men.
Anyway, there is no one watching over them, so these guys just live their lives day by day.
Now in the Jiangwei Brigade, if you work hard, it is not difficult to get married no matter how old you are.
But these people obviously don't care about their wives or alcohol.
The lazy guys gathered in the small shop, with a bag of fried peanuts and a bowl of white wine, living like Kong Yiji, so carefree.
Unfortunately, Han Guangjia ended up associating with these people.
This is not the most unfortunate thing.
"Come on, Xiao Han, have a drink! Second uncle is treating us, Boss Zong, give Xiao Han a bowl."
Although the lazy guys didn't have much money in their pockets, they were very generous. They wanted to treat Han Guangjia to a drink, knowing that he could drink.
People like them are generous even though they are poor.
Boss Zong was very quick and delivered two taels of Sanbai in one go.
"This is some good wine that just arrived. It's over 20 cents per ounce. Try it."
Han Guangjia thought he might as well try it, so he picked up the wine bowl and prepared to taste what the white wine, which cost more than 20 cents per ounce, tasted like.
Just at this moment, the door of the shop opened and a group of girls came in laughing.
