After getting the detailed demobilization list of the soldiers they led, Uncle Shen, Uncle Shen and his second brother Shen Anchen all started to act. This was also because the Cao and Qin families had done great business in the past few years after the reform and opening up, and there was a momentum for continued expansion. Otherwise, it would be really tiring to arrange jobs for retired soldiers.
Most of those who hold official positions in the army will be arranged to work in relevant units in their registered places after retirement, but ordinary soldiers do not receive such treatment. At most, the army will provide them with a little more retirement compensation.
Looking at the three men in front of them, Shen Anning and Qin Wan sat upright, feeling a great deal of pressure.
"Ningning, Xiaowan, this is the situation. The list of disarmament has been released, and the number of people assigned to each division is quite large. Especially in the past ten years, many people joined the army, but there were almost no wars. For these soldiers, the intention is to implement a streamlining policy. The good seedlings will still be retained, and the rest will definitely be sent back to their hometowns."
"Yeah, that's right. You two should look at the available jobs in each city. We'll prioritize those with injuries or those who are older and have trouble finding work. As for healthy young people, we'll still encourage them to venture out on their own."
Shen Anning nodded. She knew the intention of her uncle and uncle in making such an arrangement. After the reform and opening up, the advantages of some state-owned factories turned into disadvantages and they were unable to adapt to the market economy. Many factories had begun to default on their employees' wages. Therefore, if they could not enter a formal government department, entering a private factory was a better choice.
In the past two years, Hua Yan's development has been unstoppable. Coupled with the market and connections opened by Peng Zhe in the south, it has now opened branches in eight cities. Some of the Cao family's own industries are also thriving under the operation of Grandpa Cao, the business tycoon. Together with the Qin family's factory, it can provide jobs for at least tens of millions of people.
But this place doesn't have the final say for them.
"Uncle, uncle, some soldiers' families live in remote areas. Our factory isn't there yet. If they're willing, we'll try to arrange for them to stay nearby. It might take them a day or two to get home by train."
Uncle Shen and my uncle both expressed their understanding. This is normal. Compared to returning to their hometown to farm, having a job in the city is better than anything else. They are all children born in ordinary families, and it is unrealistic to talk about them going into business.
With the help of Shen Anning and Qin Wan, Uncle Shen and Uncle Peng's pressure was much less. Every leader was reluctant to see the soldiers leaving the army, so they all wanted to try their best to arrange a good place for these people and use their best abilities and connections.
Although Peng Cheng said that he wanted to be an open-minded parent when it came to his youngest son's business, he still had some objections in his heart. This time, with the large-scale downsizing, he finally saw his own advantages. Having a son who runs a company and does business is not completely useless!
Shen Anning sat on the sofa, listening to Peng Zhe's quacking voice, and was very happy. "Really? My uncle can talk like this. The fatherly love that has disappeared for so many years has returned, right?"
"That's right, sister. You didn't hear the tone my dad used when he spoke to me on the phone. It was a bit corny to me. I'm not used to it."
Shen Anning was laughing so hard that her teeth almost fell out when she heard what her cousin said. Since she was a child, what she loved to watch most was the love-hate relationship between her uncle and Peng Zhe. Peng Wei was of steady temperament and inherited his father's business under the influence of his uncle. Only Peng Zhe had an older brother to support him and no younger brothers or sisters. They were the only two children in the Peng family's generation, and they had always been rebellious and willful.
"But, Xiaozhe, you're truly outstanding. I heard from my uncle that you even set up a transportation company specifically for this military downsizing and bought over a hundred trucks. This immediately provided jobs for over a thousand people. Furthermore, your trucks can cover long distances, so it's convenient for the drivers who escort them to visit their hometowns when they pass by. With such generosity, if I were your uncle, I'd be supporting you."
Of course, Peng Zhe told his father that the transport team was set up to help his father's men in the army get good jobs, but he didn't need to hide it in front of his sister.
She said, "Sister, I did consider the old man when I set up this transport team. In recent years, many of his retired soldiers who were difficult to find jobs have been sent to me. Our foreign trade company needs people who can handle management and sales. However, soldiers who have been in the army for a long time are used to following orders and are not suitable for our business."
"So, for the past few years, I've been thinking about how to find a good way out for them. Starting this year, the national policy has come out. Our country will vigorously develop transportation, and highways are being slowly built across the country. Now we have a population of one billion. Whether it's transporting goods or people, we can't still rely mainly on trains. Coincidentally, our main foreign trade business this year is the exchange of goods with those foreign countries."
"Many of our country's local specialties, light industry, and heavy industry are very popular abroad. If we set up a transportation station in each province, deploy a dozen trucks, and employ a hundred or so people, wouldn't that establish a transportation network?"
"Sister, I'm not exaggerating. According to my vision, in three years, this transportation network will definitely be fully established. Each station can serve as a transfer station for other stations, and the transportation of vehicles can be coordinated according to the distance. It just so happens that the large-scale downsizing must be completed within three years. The old man in our family will praise me in the future. I can't even imagine it. He will call me a good son every time he sees me. I'm afraid I'll go deaf, hahahahaha!"
Peng Zhe's laughter on the phone was arrogant and confident. This was his absolute belief in his plan and his complete affirmation of his future career. Shen Anning couldn't help but sigh when he heard it. This was simply the logistics of the future. In his previous life, it was those things that happened in his family. No wonder Peng Zhe often talked about what he would have done if he had gone into the sea in his middle age. He is worthy of being the most business-minded child in the family!
"Okay, your idea is really great. Even though I don't know much about business, I can tell that this is very feasible and will definitely be a huge success in the future. Keep up the good work. If you need any money, just let me know."
"Don't worry, sister. If I have any problems, I will definitely ask you for help first. But for now, your brother can handle it." After hanging up the phone and looking at the vast and endless sea outside, Peng Zhe secretly encouraged himself in his heart. In three years, just three years, he must build a business empire of his own, strive to develop it from a company to a group, so that his old man will no longer have to worry about doing things!
