Zhuang Zhou got out of the car, looked at everyone, and said with a smile:
"Hello everyone, my name is Zhuang Zhou, and from today on, I will officially take over the Longxi Fertilizer Plant.
But don't worry, I won't be involved in the specific affairs of the factory.
I am only responsible for two things. One is to pay everyone's salary on time, and the other is to sell the fertilizer.
So, everyone should follow Liu Xin, he is the chief technical engineer of our factory."
Everyone applauded and cheered again.
Zhuang Zhou waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet, and continued:
“Also, I have an announcement.
Starting today, Liu Xin will not only be the chief technical engineer of the factory, but will also serve as the deputy factory director. If you have any questions, you can come to him.
Okay, I won’t say any more unnecessary words.
Our factory will officially start operations in three days, and everyone will come to work then.
I will never delay paying wages!"
When everyone heard this, they cheered.
Zhuang Zhou looked at Liu Xin again and said:
"Mr. Liu, please organize the staff and compile a list of names, then make a table and send it to me.
From now on, you will be in charge of the factory. What are your salary requirements?"
Liu Xin was already extremely surprised and kept saying:
"Boss Zhuang, the salary should still be paid as before, as long as there is no delay."
"No! You still have to be the deputy factory director now, so you'll have a lot of work to do. It's time for a raise."
Liu Xin smiled and said:
“I haven’t even achieved any results yet, so it’s not appropriate to raise my salary.
Mr. Zhuang, how about this? Wait until the factory starts to make a profit, then give me a raise!"
What a real person!
Zhuang Zhou said no more:
"Alright then! I'll do as you say... Also, I'll give you an address and have you ship the 100 tons of fertilizer from the factory there."
"Don't worry! I'll take care of it."
After finishing his work at the factory, Zhuang Zhou prepared to go back to his hometown in the countryside.
As soon as I walked out of the factory gate, Meng Xuan called me.
"Zhuang Zhou, how's the discussion about the fertilizer plant going?"
Meng Xuan's tone was full of concern.
Zhuang Zhou smiled and said:
"It's settled."
When Meng Xuan heard this, she immediately smiled happily:
"Great, can you come back tonight?!"
"No problem. I'll go back to the countryside and then go straight back to Qingdu."
Meng Xuan smiled when she heard this:
"Okay then, I'll wait for you to come back!"
…
Construction of the villa in my hometown has already started.
Zhuang Zhou drove back to the countryside and took a drive.
Then he explained some details to his cousin Zhuang Fei, mainly about structural safety issues.
I don't ask about anything else.
When he left, he gave his family two kilograms of cordyceps sinensis for them to soak in water and also left 20,000 yuan in cash as a backup.
I don’t dare leave too much money at home, as it would be unsafe.
4:30 in the afternoon.
Zhuang Zhou called Meng Xuan, drove onto the highway and headed straight for Qingdu.
In the car.
Zhuang Zhou thought that he had to return to Chang'an tomorrow to take part in the imperial examination.
The one hundred tons of fertilizer in the factory have already been delivered.
Next it will be transported to the warehouse mentioned by Zhuang Zhou.
It is already April, and it is time to plant rice in Chang'an.
Hybrid rice must be developed, as it is the key to solving the food problem.
Thinking of this, Zhuang Zhou called Li Tao again.
Ask him to help purchase high-yield hybrid rice seeds.
In addition, there are high-yield barley, wheat, pesticides, etc.
Li Tao was completely stunned:
"Boss Zhuang, what on earth do you want to do?"
Zhuang Zhou smiled and explained:
"I have leased a few plots of land in my hometown and plan to invest in agriculture.
Now that I have some spare money, I can't just sit back and enjoy it all!
Not only can I make money from farming, but I can also contribute to my hometown.”
Li Tao suddenly understood after hearing this:
“So you want to go into agriculture!
This is a good idea. The current agricultural product market does have great potential.
But, Mr. Zhuang, how much do you plan to invest this time?"
Zhuang Zhou thought for a moment and said:
"Let's invest a few million first and see the results."
Li Tao nodded:
“Okay, then I’ll contact the seed company and pesticide manufacturer to get the supplies as soon as possible.
By the way, how many high-yield hybrid rice seeds do you need?"
Zhuang Zhou had already made a rough calculation.
One acre of land requires about 15 kilograms of seeds.
Zhuang Zhou plans to try out a hundred acres of land first.
That is 1,500 kilograms.
This is just a trivial matter for the Tang Dynasty.
Take Chang'an for example, there is not enough space for planting.
However, Zhuangzhou is now considered a test field, and it is impossible to promote large-scale planting this year.
There is insufficient technology and staffing.
Don't rush, take it one step at a time.
…
Seven o'clock in the evening.
Zhuang Zhou finally arrived at Meng Xuan's residential area.
Then I remembered that I hadn’t brought any gifts yet!
Given the nature of Meng Xuan's father's work, it is definitely not easy for him to accept expensive gifts.
I never knew what his family liked before.
Asking now doesn't seem sincere.
After thinking about it, Zhuang Zhou remembered that there were some precious medicinal herbs.
How about some health supplements?
Meng Xuan's grandfather is also old, so he can also take some supplements.
Thinking of this, Zhuang Zhou directly took out a pair of fifty-year-old wild ginseng and a pound of cordyceps sinensis.
This is a rare treasure in modern society.
Most people can't tell the price at all.
I found the packaging box in the trunk and packed it carefully.
