Chapter 689
Su Miao seemed to be thinking: "So, Brother Xiaopang, are you worried that I will encounter a similar situation when I expand the factory?"
Little Fatty took the teacup handed to him by Su Miao, and the tea swayed slightly in the cup:
"Although you are a local, you are young and a girl after all."
He paused, as if weighing his words. "Some people in this village can't stand seeing others do better than they do, especially when young people are better than them. Your business is booming, so there's no guarantee there won't be people who are jealous."
Su Miao looked up at the big tree that provided shade and shelter from the rain. A breeze blew, and an old leaf swirled down, landing right in the newly planted flowerpot.
She turned around, the sunlight outlining a slender figure behind her. "Little Fatty, my situation is different from Boss Feng's. First of all, he suffered from a lack of foundation.
Large-scale land leasing is still very rare nowadays, and many procedures are not standardized by anyone. Apart from the lease agreement, everything depends on the good faith of both parties.
There was indeed a mentality in Nitang Village that was jealous of him making a lot of money and bullied him because he was an outsider in order to profit from it.
In fact, this kind of thing happens not only in the village, but everywhere. Brother Xiaopang, we have been doing business for so long, haven’t we encountered too many of them? "
Little Fatty sighed and said, "That's true. Before I started my business, I thought that as long as I made good products and sales channels, I would naturally be able to do well in business.
But after actually setting foot in it, I realized that it is useless to just do your best, you also have to be on guard against others.
In the past, everyone was poor. Even those from well-off families didn't look that rich. Now think about it, what we earn in a day is what others have to earn in a year. With such a gap, even if I were in their shoes, I would still feel uncomfortable.
"Well, then what do you think is the trigger that turns the villagers' jealousy into real action?"
The fat boy scratched his head. "This... Boss Feng is dishonest? He didn't hire the villagers to do the work as agreed?"
"Yes. If you think about it more deeply, he didn't treat the villagers as equals. He invested with a 'charity' mentality, thinking that providing a few job opportunities was a favor, but he didn't consider truly integrating into the local community. That's why he couldn't wait to play tricks."
The fat boy seemed to be thinking: "Now that you put it that way, it seems to be true."
"Speaking of my factory, Sujia Village is my hometown, and most of the villagers are my relatives. The village secretary is also my close uncle. Even if there are some who are jealous, with a few elders to suppress them, no big trouble will happen.
The fat boy suddenly laughed out loud: "I remember your fifth uncle. At that time, the factory had just been completed. I went to cut the ribbon and sat at the same table with him during dinner. We even had a drinking contest. He was really a nice guy, and it was obvious that the villagers also trusted him."
Su Miao also smiled and said lightly: "Moreover, my family also gives priority to people from the village when hiring workers. My second uncle and second aunt carefully selected them. Now there are more than ten workers who are capable and have a say in their families.
The pillars of ten families in the village work in my factory. Not to mention other people, these ten families alone will naturally maintain this factory in order to continue to do this stable job with good salary.
In addition to workers, we also need to purchase raw materials. In addition to the papayas produced in our own garden, at least one-third of the papayas need to be purchased, and we also give priority to purchasing from our own village.
This will amplify the benefits, increase support, and make the foundation more stable."
The fat guy laughed and said, "That's true! No wonder your factory has never had any disputes. If we want to do big business, we really can't be picky about everything. Sometimes we should just relax..."
He made a gesture of scattering money.
"But, Brother Xiaopang, you're right. As the factory grows bigger, we should be more cautious."
Su Miao thought for a moment, and a strand of hair was blown onto her face by the wind. She brushed it away casually:
"I plan to hold a village meeting before expanding the factory. I'll explain the benefits of expanding the factory, including providing more job opportunities and increasing the village's collective income."
The fat boy nodded in agreement. "That's a good idea. It makes everyone feel like this is a village-wide enterprise, not just something you're trying to grab. Just like you said, expand the scope of the benefits."
This way, if anyone causes trouble for the factory, you don't even need to intervene; the villagers will be the first to object!"
In the evening, Su Miao and his father discussed the matter for a long time and finally decided on the welfare plan.
Su Yuanzheng was very happy that his daughter proposed to provide welfare for the village:
"Miao Miao, let's not talk about you. Actually, I, your father, was not born in the village. As for feelings, there is definitely some, but compared with the relatives who were born and raised here, there is still a gap, not to mention you who seldom returned to the village since you were a child.
It's really rare that you can think of such a comprehensive way to benefit the village. Dad admires you!"
There was a hint of emotion in his voice.
Su Miao put away the notebook and said:
"Dad, I feel guilty when you say that. In fact, this is not only for the village, but more for our factory to become bigger and stronger.
Compared with the stable development environment, this expenditure is really nothing."
Su Miao's expression suddenly turned serious, and he continued:
"However, we also have to be on guard against anyone who might overreach. We have already completed all the formalities for the factory, and the procedures for this expansion also need to be completed.
The agreement with the village also needs to be converted into a formal contract. Brother Xiaopang will ask the company's legal department to help us draft one. In addition to our share, it will also include the village committee's breach of contract compensation.
"If you stay in your place, you gain; if you don't, you lose. There are rewards and punishments. This is an equal treaty that has restraining and binding force on both sides."
"Okay, I agree. When the contract is ready, we'll go back to the village and talk to your fifth uncle first. Then we'll have him organize a village representative meeting to explain all the welfare agreements clearly, get them signed, and put their fingerprints on them. That way, we can have no worries."
A day later, the father and daughter received the formal contract.
Su Miao carefully checked each page of terms. The sunlight shone through the glass window onto the paper, making the terms shine.
Just as they were preparing to return to the village the next day, an unexpected news interrupted their plans.
After Su Miao answered the phone, a surprised smile appeared on his face: "Dad! The dryer arrived early!"
Therefore, the villagers' meeting could not be held immediately because priority had to be given to seeing the dryer that Su Miao had been thinking about.
Su Miao stood at the factory door, looking at the dryer wrapped in dustproof cloth in the back of the truck. The metal shell shone coldly in the sunlight.
The workers had already cleared the installation site and gathered around curiously.
Thanks to Manager Xie’s help, progress was fast and the machine was delivered in just a few days.
Although Manager Xie said that there are relatively few manufacturers ordering this type of machine now, it is good to have an order for a large machine a week, so there is no need to queue.
But Su Miao knew that Manager Xie must have also intervened, and he was extremely grateful to such a dedicated partner.
