To form a group?
Zhang Bin was a little slow to react.
Li Weidong laughed: "You remember the old production teams, right?"
"I know!"
Zhang Bin still didn't get it: "But what does this have to do with us?"
"Are you stupid?!"
Li Weidong was speechless: "A production team is just a group of several households together, then a team leader is elected to manage it. The people above that only need to manage the team leader. Do you understand what I mean?"
Zhang Bin suddenly realized and slapped his thigh: "I know! You mean, let the farmers in each village who want to cooperate form their own groups, and then choose a representative to talk to us?"
"That's right."
Li Weidong nodded: "In this way, our workload will be greatly reduced, and management will be much easier in the future."
After saying that, he added, "The most important point is that now every village is eager to cooperate with us, especially the village chiefs, who are all trying to make a good impression."
After all, only when the villagers prosper can the village become wealthy.
When the village becomes wealthy, the village chief is also praised.
Li Weidong said smugly, "That makes things much simpler."
He picked up a pen and paper and started drawing on the paper: "Look, let's do it like this, divide the farmers into villages, and let the village chief be the team leader."
"Then we will only accept cooperation with teams from each village if they reach fifty households. And if any of these fifty households cheat or use inferior materials, we will terminate the cooperation for the entire village."
Zhang Bin was both surprised and delighted: "I understand! This way, farmers can supervise each other and ensure that the produce is of high quality!"
"Yes."
Li Weidong breathed a sigh of relief: "This way, we can save a lot of time and manpower, and it will be easier to manage. Isn't this better than going door to door before?"
After saying that, he added, "One more thing, our sales representatives are all recruited from various villages. When they go to discuss business, you have to make arrangements so that the sales representatives from the village are not allowed to go. They should be scheduled to meet at different times."
In today's society, personal connections are paramount. It's troublesome to deal with people from your own village trying to build relationships, while it's much easier to let people from other villages handle things in the past.
Zhang Bin nodded repeatedly: "I know, Wei Dong, you're really amazing!"
"I think the best decision I ever made was following you!"
He hurriedly walked out, saying, "I'll go make arrangements first!"
Li Weidong quickly stopped him: "Wait a minute, there's still something I haven't told you!"
Zhang Bin blushed and said, "I was too impatient. Tell me."
Li Weidong then explained it to him in detail.
For example, the rules and procedures for cooperation were explained and written down simultaneously, quickly filling two large sheets of paper.
Finally, he instructed, "Tell those village chiefs that we can only go over to discuss cooperation once they have completed all the preliminary work."
"As for any questions, we can ask them to send representatives to our company for consultation. If necessary, we can send technical personnel to provide on-site guidance, but we cannot spend too much time on this."
"The most important thing is to let them master the technology themselves."
For example, in the first year, you can send someone to teach you how to build greenhouses, manage fruits and vegetables, and even spray pesticides. But you can't do that every year after that, right?
That would be such a waste of manpower.
Zhang Bin nodded repeatedly, and finally looked at Li Weidong with eyes full of admiration: "No wonder you can be a boss, Weidong, you're amazing!"
Li Weidong chuckled: "Alright, stop flattering me, get back to work!"
With this method, work efficiency has indeed improved significantly.
Li Weidong and Zhang Bin were originally extremely busy, but now that this team system has been introduced, they have both become much more relaxed.
Aside from occasionally visiting the village, he even has time to drink tea, play chess, and discuss the company's future development direction at the company.
When you're busy, time flies by.
Before we knew it, it was April.
In the season when orioles sing and grasses grow, the first batch of greenhouse vegetables has also hit the market.
The world today is not like the world of later generations. People's food baskets are far less abundant than in later times, and the variety of vegetables available for consumption is very limited.
Li Weidong recognized this opportunity, and with the help of Zhang Bin's technical team, various vegetables that are typically only available in July and August were brought to market several months earlier.
People in the countryside live a hard life, but city dwellers don't lack money.
The off-season vegetables from Yimeng Farm were snapped up as soon as they hit the market.
It wasn't just the restaurants and hotels that were cooperating; even ordinary people were scrambling to get their hands on them.
In the entire northern Inner Mongolia region, Li Weidong is the first to operate a greenhouse vegetable business; he has no competitors whatsoever.
Therefore, even though his vegetables are expensive, they are in high demand and he has no worries about sales.
With good sales, money naturally flows in like water.
Li Weidong had more and more money in his hands.
If money is not a problem, then naturally the company should continue to expand.
By June, Li Weidong's Yimeng Farm had thousands of partner merchants, and countless farmers were working with him.
These farmers learned greenhouse technology, and they no longer had to worry about selling their vegetables, so their pockets naturally became fuller.
Li Weidong, the company owner, became their savior.
People from all around speak highly of him.
"Wei Dong, he's truly a bodhisattva descended to earth. If it weren't for him, how could my family be living such a good life now?"
"That's right! The house I used to live in was so dilapidated that it was uninhabitable. Later, I heard that he was recruiting cooperative farmers, so I went to the village chief and got a spot. After these two crops of vegetables were harvested, the new house was built. When the next crop of vegetables is sold, we can even buy some furniture for the house. Life is getting better and better!"
“My son is 22 years old this year. He couldn’t afford the bride price and couldn’t get a wife. Now it’s all good. My in-laws know that my family is building greenhouses. They immediately agreed to marry their daughter to us, saying that if she works with Li Weidong, she won’t be poor.”
"Wei Dong is truly capable and has a conscience. If he weren't already engaged, I would have wanted to marry my daughter to him!"
The farmer who said this was ridiculed by the crowd.
"If your daughter marries him, wouldn't that be repaying kindness with enmity?"
"I think you're not trying to repay a debt of gratitude, but rather to climb the social ladder!"
"What kind of person is Wei Dong? He's like a bodhisattva descended to earth! How could an ordinary girl be worthy of him?"
"Let's not worry about those other things, let's just focus on growing the vegetables well."
In the past, when people met, they would greet each other with "Have you eaten?", but now the first thing they do is praise Li Weidong.
After all, anyone who wasn't lazy had followed suit and started growing crops in greenhouses, and they were all living good lives. To them, Li Weidong was like a savior.
Some villages are even making plans to build a temple and cast a statue for Li Weidong!
Li Weidong was both amused and exasperated. He couldn't stop them, so he simply let them go.
He is now so much better off than he was a year ago. His money is growing like a snowball, and his company is growing bigger and bigger.
Just as he was planning how to further expand the company, Shen Xiaoyan returned.
