It is 140 to 150 miles from Shenzhen to Dongguan. The car Zhang Shiqian rented took them to Datan Village, Dalingzi Township in an hour and a half.
The road conditions are bad and there are a lot of cars, so it's like this. If there were a highway, it would take more than half an hour.
At the Dalingzi Township market, Zhang Shiqian bought fish and meat in the afternoon.
"Our Datan Village can't compare to Jiangwei Village. There are no restaurants there, so we can only make do at my house."
It didn't matter where Wan Feng was dealt with, he really didn't like the food in the restaurant. They all tasted almost the same and he was tired of eating them all the time.
Wan Feng had been to Zhang Shiqian's house once and was not unfamiliar with Zhang Shiqian's wife.
Zhang Shiqian's wife probably doesn't do much farm work, so although she looks average, she's well-maintained and plump, with the charm of a mature woman.
In the 1980s, there were very few women in rural areas who maintained themselves so well.
"Where is our son?" Zhang Shiqian asked his wife when he didn't see his son.
"I don't know where he went after you left. He hasn't come back for two days."
"This little bastard is always running around and will cause trouble sooner or later. It's all your fault for not disciplining him properly."
"Blame me? You old bastard, you're always away from home, blaming me for everything. Now explain it to me, or we'll never be done."
Zhang Shiqian immediately became dispirited. It turned out that he was also dominated by his wife!
"Will they fight?" Yang Jianguo asked worriedly.
"That's bullshit, it can't be done."
Sure enough, although Zhang Shiqian's wife looked like a lion roaring like a lion, she bared her arms and rolled up her sleeves to cook, showing no intention of fighting with Zhang Shiqian for three hundred rounds.
"Since there are still more than two hours before dark, let's go out and take a walk around."
"That's right! I'll take you to see a place. This place has many similarities with your Nan Da Wan."
Zhang Shiqian led the way, and Wan Feng and the other two followed closely behind, leaving the house and heading west.
As you leave the village, you will see a mountain range about a mile southwest of the village.
The topography here is somewhat similar to karst topography, with hills everywhere, some big and some small, but none of them are too high.
Wan Feng also looked at this area last time. He wondered if the place Zhang Shiqian liked was the same one he liked.
More than ten minutes later, Zhang Shiqian brought Wan Feng to Sanwankou, which was surrounded by several hills.
This mountain bay is definitely not the place Wan Feng saw last time.
"How is it? It's somewhat similar to Nan Da Wan, the only difference is the location, everything else is the same."
"Same as bullshit! Your bay is much smaller than the South Bay, and the two arms on the left and right are much higher than the arms of the South Bay."
"It doesn't matter if the area is small. We don't plan to attract that many factories to this mountain bay. We'll just use it ourselves."
If I were to use the area of this mountain bay myself, the area that I couldn't use would be estimated to be more than 200 acres.
A few people talked as they walked, following the bay mouth into the mountain bay.
"This mountain has a bit of karst landform. The scenery here must be beautiful in the summer."
"Let me put it this way: the scenery here is definitely incomparable to that of Nan Da Wan. If a factory is built here, the workers will feel like they are living in a painting." Zhang Shiqian finally found something he could proudly brag about.
Comparing the scenery with places with karst features is crazy.
"I've been to this place several times. I'm planning to choose a location due west because that's where the sun shines the longest. How about building it close to the mountain?"
Zhang Shiqian brought Wan Feng to the foot of the mountain on the west side of Shanwan.
Wan Feng looked up at the mountain and asked worriedly, "There aren't any landslides or mudslides here during the rainy season, right?"
"It's a slippery slope! I've never heard of a slippery slope since I was a child."
Since there are no landslides or mudslides, the location Zhang Shiqian chose for building the factory is indeed a good one.
"Here, then."
Zhang Shiqian was overjoyed again after receiving Wan Feng's affirmation.
"So what style do you want the factory to be built in?"
"This is your decision. It's not like you're building a villa. You don't need to ask for my opinion."
"Then I will immediately contact the township to study it, and then start construction before the New Year if it is suitable, and strive to build the factory as soon as possible."
After the factory site was decided, several people started to walk back.
"What will happen to the workers then? Even if the factory is built and the production line is installed, without skilled workers, wouldn't that be pointless?"
This problem is a bit difficult to solve. Should Zhang Shiqian recruit a group of workers locally and send them to Beiliao for training?
The journey is too long and the cost is too high.
For local training, will Nanwan Factory send technical backbones for training?
I'm afraid this is the only way. I'll get parts from more than ten cars for them to practice.
"It's too inconvenient and costly for you to select employees here and train them in the north. Why don't you recruit a group of workers next summer and we can send a few technicians over to train them?"
Zhang Shiqian was very satisfied with Wan Feng's suggestion.
Training will begin next summer, and once the production line is built and installed in the factory, workers will be able to start work seamlessly without any delay in production.
Very good!
When I returned to Zhang Shiqian's house, his wife had already prepared dinner.
Zhang Shiqian's son Zhang Chunlei still hasn't returned.
Zhang Shiqian also has a daughter who is studying indoors in Dongguan and will have a few days of vacation.
Facing a table full of sumptuous food and wine on the kang in Zhang Shiqian's house, Zhang Shiqian repeatedly urged them to drink, saying that it was the first time they had eaten at his table and they must eat and drink well.
He did drink well, and unfortunately Zhang Shiqian ended up getting himself drunk.
There were four people at the table. Wan Feng didn't drink white wine, and apart from Wan Feng, he couldn't drink more than Han Guangjia or Yang Jianguo.
It was normal for him to get drunk in the end.
It is unfortunate that Zhang Shiqian got himself drunk.
Wan Feng and the other two were arranged to live on the second floor of Zhang Shiqian's house.
The three of them discussed returning to the north for a while and then turned off the lights and went to bed.
Now that the factory site has been selected, there is nothing to worry about. Going back is a normal result.
In the middle of the night, Zhang Shiqian, wearing only his shorts, knocked on the door of Wan Feng's room.
"My son has been kidnapped!" Zhang Shiqian said a string of local dialect anxiously.
Wan Feng was half asleep. He rubbed his eyes and asked, "Speak human language!"
"My son has been kidnapped!"
Wan Feng's sleepiness disappeared in an instant.
Han Guangjia and Yang Jianguo also jumped up.
"Your son was kidnapped?"
"I just received a call saying my son is in their hands and they want me to prepare 100,000 yuan!"
What the hell is going on? He called in the middle of the night saying that his son was kidnapped and they had caught up with him.
Wan Feng took a deep breath and said, "Don't panic! Tell us what happened in detail. Brother Yang, Guangjia, help Brother Zhang in."
Han Guangjia and Yang Jianguo helped Zhang Shiqian, who was holding on to the door frame and was about to collapse, into the house.
