Chapter 333 Hometown

Jiang Shan doesn’t have many friends.

When he was a blue-collar worker doing hard labor, he had some friends he could get along with; but one time, Jiang Shan had a conflict with his "leader", and after that, he could not get along with them much.

Jiang Shan could understand this. Because he had offended his superiors, his fellow workers who were also suffering were afraid of being pissed off by him if they got close to him, so they distanced themselves from him - this was understandable.

Because they all have elderly parents and young children to support, they dare not lose their jobs.

This is the helplessness of ordinary people.

In reality, as long as it's not meant to take advantage of someone's misfortune, it can be understood.

Of course, we can’t be good friends.

So after Jiang Shan became successful, he never talked about helping his old friends.

If we go back further, to our hometown, our childhood playmates, classmates, etc., if we don't specifically dig into our memories, they are actually very vague.

Jiang Shan's family conditions are not really good.

He had no parents and was brought up by his grandfather; his grandfather had a bad temper and had poor relationships with his neighbors; some of his peers called him an orphan and they often fought with each other.

Every time this happened, my grandfather would get angry, and the neighbors would start quarreling and even fighting.

So Jiang Shan’s childhood was not really good.

Jiang Shan did not grow up to be a bad person, thanks to a teacher in middle school; whenever he thinks of him, Jiang Shan is particularly grateful to him. It is a blessing to meet such a teacher at the age when he is building his worldview.

He made Jiang Shan understand how to be a qualified "person" and how to love this land and this country.

"Repay kindness with kindness, why complain? Repay evil with justice" and "All men are created equal" were the words he taught Jiang Shan word by word when he spanked him.

However, he died of illness when Jiang Shan had just entered his third year of high school.

Then not long after, Jiang Shan's grandfather also passed away.

Therefore, Jiang Shan failed to go to university and ran away from home to work after graduating from high school.

That’s getting off topic.

The main point is that Jiang Shan doesn't have many friends - words like hometown or childhood friends seem very pale in his mind.

Now, the only two or three people who can be considered friends, or with whom I can talk, sit down and have a cup of tea and chat, are probably President Li and Cui Wei.

Knowing that Jiang Shan had returned to Shanghai, he started to receive invitations like snowflakes, as well as phone calls from people asking others to pass on messages and want to meet Jiang Shan.

Jiang Shan ignored him.

I drank a pot of tea with President Li and chatted with him. I learned that he was about to be promoted and would soon join the central bank and head north to Beijing.

Jiang Shan congratulated him.

Afterwards, he called Cui Wei out and had a meal with him.

When I turned around, I found an official from my hometown there - he was the deputy director of a bureau in the county.

Jiang Shan entertained him.

Although I knew his intention, since he was from my hometown, I had to entertain him.

After some chatting, Jiang Shan realized that he was indeed here to solicit investment, but not just to solicit investment - Jiang Shan's reputation grew bigger and bigger, until everyone knew him; but in his hometown, no one reacted at first.

Later, when they found out Jiang Shan's hometown, everyone was stunned. So Jiang Shan is from here?

Since the middle of this year, we have sent people here several times, but unfortunately, Jiang Shan was not in Shanghai.

But they didn't give up.

This time, Jiang Shan was finally blocked.

He said: "Our main purpose is not to ask you, Mr. Jiang, to donate money to your hometown; our main purpose is to hope that you can act as a matchmaker."

Said: "Shenzhou Industrial Group has set up branches everywhere"

Jiang Shan already understood.

It's not about money, it's about a future.

Jiang Shan nodded slightly and said, "I remember there was a sugar factory in our town. When I was in middle school, the factory worked day and night, with thick smoke billowing out. Half of the town was shrouded in the stench. But within two years, the sugar factory was closed down. I heard that it owed more than 10 million yuan."

Anyway, that's the way it is.

Everyone says that no matter how big a factory is, if it is located in a town, it will shut down sooner or later.

Upon hearing this, the deputy director's expression slightly calmed down and said, "The environment has improved a lot in recent years."

Then he said, "Let's take a step back and say, who dares to mess around with the branch of Shenzhou Industry Group?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

That's true.

Jiang Shan nodded and said, "It's my hometown after all. I remember my teacher once told me, 'If you think your hometown is not good, don't complain, don't be resentful, work harder, and then change it and make it better.'"

"I've only been successful for two years. At this time last year, I was just starting to gain momentum. This year I've been very busy. It's also because I was too hasty and didn't pay attention to my hometown."

"Now Shenzhou Industry and Shenhua Intelligence are both expanding their branches - in fact, I have already made plans in this regard. Even if I didn't meet you this time, my hometown would have been allocated a branch of Shenzhou Industry and Shenhua Intelligence."

"Although my hometown didn't give me a very good impression when I was young, it doesn't matter. I hope that people with the same background as me in my hometown will not repeat my mistakes in the future."

Giving his hometown some future rewards is indeed in Jiang Shan’s plan; not to mention making his hometown like a paradise, he has to do something practical anyway.

As for whether the sugar factory would repeat its mistakes, Jiang Shan was not worried about that.

Shenzhou Industry and Shenhua Intelligence are by no means comparable to a small sugar factory. How should I put it? Now Shenzhou Industry and Shenhua Intelligence are directly linked to the top and are related to national policies.

Moreover, the comprehensive introduction of artificial intelligence applications can ensure thorough clarity in all aspects, whether at the head office or at the branch offices.

Any mess will not be allowed to happen.

Let me explain briefly here - that is, all assessments regarding personnel and promotions will be separated out and handled by artificial intelligence.

In other words, there are no personnel interest conflicts between employees and management of various companies under Jiang Shan.

If an employee wants to get promoted, it is very simple. He or she just needs to pass the regular attendance check and sign up for the professional skills test for promotion. Those who pass the test will be promoted without the involvement of the management. The same goes for management who want to be promoted.

Daily attendance and professional skills tests for promotions are all done with artificial intelligence.

Artificial intelligence keeps detailed records of whether every employee and management is diligent in their daily duties. When they are about to violate the rules, artificial intelligence will give a warning. If they stop, the stain will be recorded; if they don't stop, security will arrive in three minutes.

Therefore, Jiang Shan's company, under the premise of easy work, generous salary, full welfare benefits and clear career path, does not have the soil for such troublesome things as "eating empty salaries, playing tricks, selling out company interests, and management bullying employees".

Jiang Shan himself actually didn’t know what kind of situation would arise if things continued in this way.

But that's what he did.

Gotta give it a try.
