Zhang Xudong looked at Master Jiang and asked:
"Master Jiang, this is just one of my plans.
I'm sorry I gave you a task without asking for your opinion.
Look, are you willing to serve the Chinese youth?"
“Boss, I do, I do.
As long as the boss doesn't mind, I, Jiang Dahai, will hand over my life to you.
It's not easy for those of us who have left our hometowns to live.
Now that you can lead us to live with dignity and give us such a good way out, I, I bow to you."
Master Jiang, with tears streaming down his face, was about to bend down and bow to Zhang Xudong to express his gratitude.
Zhang Xudong quickly supported him and said:
"Master Jiang, if we want to live with dignity, we can't rely on others.
Dignity is something we need to strive for together.
Our roots are in China, and our reliance is also in China.
Only when China behind us becomes strong, can we, the wanderers abroad, truly succeed.
Now, let's work together to build strength.
When we have saved enough capital, I will take you back to our hometown.
Our hundreds of thousands and millions of overseas Chinese have returned with enormous wealth and advanced technology to build our motherland.
By that time, it will no longer be a myth for our country to catch up with the UK and the US.
When that day comes, no matter where we are in the world, we will be able to speak with our heads held high.
Whether you say this is my dream or my ambition
I firmly believe that this day will come.”
Master Jiang said with trembling lips:
"Boss, are you saying we still have a chance to go back?
Can I return to my hometown before I die?"
Zhang Xudong nodded affirmatively and said:
"Yes, I, Zhang Xudong, promise you that going home is not a dream.
Within twenty years, as long as you are willing to go back, I will definitely bring you back to your hometown in glory."
After hearing what Zhang Xudong said, Jiang Dahai covered his face with his hands and began to sob.
"Boss, my biggest wish is to be able to go back alive and burn some paper money to pay respect to my parents, grandparents, and ancestors.
I believe what you say and I'm looking forward to the day when I can follow you back.
Please tell me what to do, Old Man Jiang?
As long as you tell me to, I, Jiang, will do it even if it costs me my old bones."
Zhang Xudong patted his shoulder and said:
"Master Jiang, it's not as serious as you say.
Just register those who are willing to join Huaqing Construction.
We must master the proportion of each type of work.
In addition, each type of work must have a team leader, whether elected or appointed.
You, please take over as captain temporarily and manage all these team leaders.
I'll pay you, the captain, two hundred dollars a month.
The team leader is paid 180 yuan a month.
The other technician ratings and laborer ratings are up to you to decide.
However, if anything unfair or unjust happens, I will hold people accountable.”
After hearing what Zhang Xudong said, Jiang Dahai said with his veins throbbing:
"Boss, don't worry, if something like this happens.
I will deal with him even if it costs me my life, without your order.
Then, I, Old Jiang, will deal with myself and not let you embarrass yourself."
"Master Jiang, whether you can keep your spine straight depends on how we do it.
After renovating this place, our Huaqing Company will also set up literacy classes and skills training classes.
As long as you are Chinese, regardless of gender, you can come and study for free.
Our company has no shortage of low-level workers, but it lacks mid- and high-level technicians.
So I'm going to start training our own people.
You have to explain this to everyone.
Don't let short-sighted parents hold your children back from learning.
If something like this happens among our Huaqing employees.
If I find out, I will fire such parents and never hire them again."
After hearing what Zhang Xudong said, Jiang Dahai asked cautiously:
“Is it the same with the girls?
Many parents don’t want their girls to waste time on studying.”
Zhang Xudong sneered and said to Jiang Dahai:
"My request is directed at those who favor boys over girls.
Filial piety, brotherhood, loyalty, propriety, integrity and shame. I am not asking everyone to be blindly loyal or filial.
But if they have lost even the most basic conscience and morality, we don’t want them in our company.”
After hearing what Zhang Xudong said, Jiang Dahai felt a little relieved.
"Boss, do you have any other instructions?"
Zhang Xudong waved his hand and said, "Master Jiang, that's all for now.
You just need to implement these things.
From now on, the team leader and team leader of any project will not be fixed.
If someone is not competent, then someone else will have to take charge of him.”
Zhang Xudong sent Jiang Dahai away and sat there watching Master Gao and the others steam buns and cook dishes.
"Boss, everyone is here. There are two hundred of us here, including the ones we brought with us.
I told them all to wait in the front yard.”
Just as Zhang Xudong was staring at the blazing fire in a daze, Hu Minghai came over and said.
"Then let's go and meet the brothers."
Zhang Xudong came to the front of the building and frowned at the chaotic scene in front of him.
Among these two hundred people, some were squatting and some were standing.
Some were chatting and joking in groups of three or four, while others were leaning against the courtyard wall smoking.
Zhang Xudong stood on the steps in front of the building, looking at the group of people below without saying a word.
