Half Blind Huang took down a big order and decided to go to another toy factory. But thinking of Manager Xu's instructions, he decided to learn how to package himself...

Immediately rented a motorcycle, carrying three thousand yuan, and went to the county town to buy clothes.

Xu Fei returned to the stall and found that the one hundred toys he brought had been sold out.

Village Chief Liu Sixi took out three hundred yuan and said seriously, "These toys sell really well. Three yuan each, no loss, right?"

"..."

"Xiaofei, you see, there is still a market for toys in our Yellow Mud Hillock."

"..."

"And, I have some insider information."

Liu Sixi leaned close to Xu Fei's ear, "The province is going to build a highway, passing through the west side of our Yellow Mud Hillock, connecting the provincial capitals of Nanhe and Jiangbei, and connecting the East Mountain provincial capital in the north. Our place is not only a roundabout road, but also a gateway."

"You mean, in the future, can we still call our place remote?"

"With developed transportation, not only can people go out, but goods can also go out."

Liu Sixi just heard it clearly, and Half Blind Huang got a big order.

And looking at the white paper, densely packed with a minimum of ten thousand pieces, especially with no upper limit.

If this order is left in Yellow Mud Hillock...

Maybe in this lifetime, he can take another step up.

"Xiaofei, you just joined a foreign enterprise, and I don't want to trouble you in my heart, but look at the current situation in Yellow Mud Hillock. If it continues like this, is there still a future, is there still hope?"

Xu Fei remained silent, not knowing what to say.

Yellow Mud Hillock used to have its own glory.

It used to belong to Pingyuan Province and was the administrative residence of Nanwa County.

Later, there was a flood, and Pingyuan Province was divided into three parts.

The south was given to Jiangbei, the west was given to Nanhe, and the east was given to East Mountain.

The flood was merciless, causing heavy losses, and Nanwa County also fell apart.

Yellow Mud Hillock fell from the county district to a town, and then withdrew and changed to a village.

The railway stopped, and when he was eight years old, his mother river dried up, and the dock disappeared.

The "Little Ya Electric Fan Factory" that Nanwa County was proud of, which was a collective enterprise where his grandfather worked, went bankrupt overnight.

The south was a saline-alkali land left by the mother river, where no grass grew.

The north was a series of clay embankments, where a little bit of farming could be done.

On the east and west sides were other towns.

The people of Yellow Mud Hillock had to plant a few acres of sweet potatoes after paying the public grain every year, otherwise they couldn't support their families.

This led to a large-scale outflow of labor from the village, or choosing to join the army.

The population drastically decreased, from hundreds of thousands to tens of thousands.

And because of this, there is a saying.

Yellow Mud Hillock, every family is poor.

Local girls are proud to marry out.

Girls from outside are ashamed to marry in.

The surrounding cities all sneer.

So at the age of sixteen, Old Xu was eager for him to get married.

As a local, Xu Fei also wanted to do something for his hometown.

But foreign enterprises are nonsense, and establishing a factory requires relevant documents.

Where can he get these things?

Liu Sixi saw that he was not speaking, and lit a cigarette again, "Xiaofei, is there any difficulty?"

Xu Fei pondered for a moment and thought that even if he added ten more model card slots, the core of the base might not fit in his own yard. He decided to test and see if he could get through the procedure of establishing a factory.

"Village Chief, the foreign enterprise I am in is indeed quite large. Although I just joined, as the regional sales manager, I still have some say."

"Oh?" Liu Sixi was pleasantly surprised, "Don't worry, I will definitely ask the secretary for special approval for the treatment and benefits you deserve."

"That's all small matters. What I want to say is that our company has just come to China for development, and we lack everything. Otherwise, they wouldn't have hired me and given me the position of regional sales manager... In other words, the funds are not in place, the relevant procedures are not complete, especially the import and export equipment, which is very complicated. You have worked in the electric fan factory, so you should know the process that import and export equipment needs to go through."

Liu Sixi frowned, "Can the equipment be transported here?"

"It should be possible."

"Hmph, as long as the equipment can be in place and can be produced, nothing else matters."

"Funds?"

"Isn't it just money? The village can help you with a loan, even if the bank doesn't waive the interest, the village will help you guarantee it."

"Hmm, how much can be loaned?"

"It depends on the scale of our factory and how many job opportunities it can provide. It's a bit complicated."

Liu Sixi thought for a moment, "Let's put it this way, if you provide 100 job positions, the village can loan you 500,000 yuan and transfer a piece of industrial land of no less than 200 mu for free. This is the maximum authority of the village. If you need more, you need to apply to the county."

"That's about right." Xu Fei didn't want the nonsense of the foreign enterprise to reach the county, so he nodded quickly.

Seeing Xu Fei's reaction, Liu Sixi was overjoyed, "Is everything settled then?"

"Well, there is also... Our company has just come to China for development, and the relevant procedures are still stuck at the customs, the procedures for establishing a factory..."

"The village can help you with that. However, when the time comes, there will be a capital verification from above, and we must be prepared for the production equipment of the foreign enterprise."

"What about the rest?"

"The rest? What else?"

"Is there nothing else?" Xu Fei was a little confused. Is it really that simple to establish a factory?

Liu Sixi frowned again at Xu Fei's words, and his thoughts quickly turned.

Although this investment promotion was as simple as it could be, it was settled in just a few words, but everything that needed to be discussed had been discussed.

Is there anything I didn't understand?

Looking at Xu Fei's face again...

Confused!

Why is he confused?

Are the benefits too few?

Right, they are a foreign enterprise!

"Cough cough, Xiaofei, tax exemption, tax refund, and so on, we have to wait for the project to land. Of course, to show our village's importance to your company, we will provide a few storefront houses as your office. It's just that our village is poor, and the storefront houses are not that good, so please don't mind."

"..."

The village chief saw that Xu Fei still didn't speak, and gritted his teeth, "The village can also help you build a road, connecting to the provincial road, directly to the factory, and it will be paved with asphalt."

"..."

"Why aren't you nodding?"

Liu Sixi saw the door, and there was only one step left. In the middle of winter, sweat was already dripping from his forehead. He took a deep breath of smoke and suddenly glanced at the distant agricultural machinery station.

Oh?

Right!

All of the above are the benefits for the foreign enterprise.Foreign enterprises are not Xu Fei's thing. He is just a regional sales manager and not one of the foreigners themselves.

Others take the risk of being criticized by foreigners to help their hometown attract investment. This is an individual act!

We should reward personal benefits.

Liu Sixi's eyes turned, Xu Fei must not lack anything in a foreign enterprise.

But it's been almost half a year since Old Xu was demoted back to his hometown, so that matter should be over.

And the old stationmaster of the agricultural machinery station is nearing retirement, so it's better to retire early and make way for Old Xu.

Although he couldn't interfere with personnel matters in the business, he could chat with the old stationmaster.

Once is not enough, twice, chat a few more times, and things will eventually turn around.

Besides, this is for Yellow Mud Hillock!

"Xiaofei, you are a very practical person. You have made many outstanding contributions at the agricultural machinery station..."

"???"

Xu Fei just snapped out of his thoughts about the generous "treatment" from the hometown and heard this, feeling confused again.

Old Xu and the old stationmaster, in order to show that they are "active", have dismantled nearly a hundred diesel engines in the past half year. Is this considered "many outstanding contributions"?

"The hometown has decided to promote you to be the stationmaster!"

"What about the old stationmaster?"

"He's retiring."

"..."

"Xiaofei, the hometown has given everything it can. Say something."

Xu Fei digested the information and said, "Okay, let's do it."

"Really?"

"Definitely, in a foreign enterprise, I have a say... By the way, the power supply, is it industrial electricity?"

"What do you mean? Don't you want to use industrial electricity?" Village Chief Liu Sixi pursed his lips. "This is not easy. After all, our factory is engaged in industrial production. Household electricity is not compatible with production equipment in terms of voltage and current."

"No, I'm worried that the power supply won't be enough."

"That's not a problem. We can connect to the same power line as the Small Lake Town Toy Factory. They have been using it for several years without any problems. There are no other factories nearby, and the voltage is stable."

"That's good."

"By the way, Xiaofei, what does our factory produce?"

"Toys, wind-up toys, tinplate toys."

"That's great. I'll give you a surprise later."

"Huh?"

"We'll talk about it later. I'll go and report the good news to the secretary."

After Village Chief Liu Sixi finished speaking, he ran to a nearby roadside ditch and pulled out a bicycle. After getting on it, he waved his hand and headed straight for the village courtyard.

Xu Fei felt a little uneasy, but thinking about their conversation, the most important things like funds and procedures will be taken care of by the hometown.

He only needs to provide equipment, construction, and recruitment, and there won't be much else to worry about.

As for the equipment, he will separate the No. 1 basic production line from the core of the base.

For construction, he needs to wait for the funds to be in place.

For recruitment, he needs to wait for the procedures to be completed.

"Starting a factory is not that difficult!"

Xu Fei had been pondering over the power supply issue for the past two days, feeling conflicted. Now that it's settled, he felt a bit... relieved!

He no longer needed to do market research, so he packed up his things and walked into a nearby store.

After a while.

[Technology List Entry: Wind-up Toy - Tinplate Locomotive.]

[Technology List Entry: Wind-up Toy - Tinplate Children's Car.]

[Technology List Entry:...]

Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the "[pawread.c𝘰m]"

"It seems that wind-up toys, whether they are wound up or wound back, have the same structure, principles, and materials."

After visiting three stores in a row, Xu Fei finally managed to secure the first ten samples for the big customer order.

And his energy value became 3521/13521.

In addition.

The parameters of the core of the base have changed to:

Three meters high, ten meters long, fifty meters wide, with ten conveyor belts.

The power has also reached a staggering 500 megawatts X14.

"Hold on a little longer, once we connect to industrial electricity, we can produce with peace of mind."

"When the time comes, we will produce one million tinplate toys for the big customer. With energy and money, this nonsense foreign enterprise should disappear."

Xu Fei felt hopeful and looked up at the sky.

It was snowing.

...

Village courtyard.

Liu Sixi ran all the way and entered the office of the village secretary. "Leader, good news."

"Oh?"

"We have attracted a foreign enterprise!"

"Oh?" The village secretary stood up abruptly. "Is it true?"

"It's a verbal agreement, but there won't be any mistakes."

The village chief explained, "Xu Dayou's son has joined a foreign enterprise, and coincidentally, their company has just come to China to develop business. Everything is just beginning, and his son Xu Fei is now a regional sales manager, so he has some say and can apply to open a branch in our village."

"Are you sure?" The village secretary knew about Old Xu's demotion, so he naturally knew that Xu Fei wasn't crazy, but the idea of entering a foreign enterprise was truly unbelievable. "He didn't even graduate from high school, and he can enter a foreign enterprise?"

"I'm sure. I've seen the labor contract of the foreign enterprise."

"I see." The village secretary nodded. "What kind of business does this foreign enterprise do?"

"They produce toys, and the scale is not small. They have agreed to provide 100 job positions."

"Oh, this is indeed good news." The secretary sat down and took out a document. "In that case, with this foreign enterprise settled, we only have one target left for our annual investment attraction task."

"Yes, it's already October in the lunar calendar and November in the Gregorian calendar. It's almost the end of the year. I thought we wouldn't be able to complete it, but who would have thought that there would be a turning point all of a sudden. I don't have to go down anymore." The village chief looked regretful.

"What conditions did you offer?"

"A lot. This foreign enterprise is really demanding. I have given everything I can. I even promised to give his father the position of the stationmaster at the agricultural machinery station, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to negotiate."

As Liu Sixi spoke, he listed all the benefits promised on a piece of paper.

After a while.

"It's normal for foreign enterprises to be picky." The village secretary finished reviewing and said, "But as long as we can get it done, we will give it our all, even if we have to sell the pot and the iron."

Then he continued:

"For the agricultural machinery station, including land approval and treatment for the foreign enterprise, I will handle it.

For the loan and opening of the branch, you will handle it.

As for other trivial matters, such as publicity, repairing the storefront, and cleaning up the factory, leave them to the investment promotion director.

Also, arrange a few more people to buy office supplies, souvenirs, firecrackers, banners, and other things, and send them to Xu Fei as a token of the village's goodwill.

By the way, when the factory is established, hold a ceremony, find a photography studio, record if possible, and if not, take more photos and publish them in newspapers and on TV, and report the good news to the county!""There's not much time left this year. We need to settle things as soon as possible so we can get the financial allocation and have a good New Year."

"Yes, leader!"

Since 1992, China's economy has developed rapidly.

The scale of infrastructure construction has been growing, and the prices of basic resources have been rising straight up.

Whether it's wealthy people in the country or foreign enterprises, seeing the potential for profit, they have crazily invested in industries such as steel, coal, and manufacturing.

Correspondingly, all kinds of large projects, without even needing approval, were launched directly.

As a result, the production of basic resources was too much, and supply exceeded demand.

By 1998, the prices of basic resources such as coal, steel, and cement suddenly plummeted.

According to registration data, at least millions of state-owned enterprises went bankrupt, and the foreign enterprises that suffered losses and withdrew their investments were one after another.

Thus, a wave of layoffs came.

And now, the most important task in the countryside is to attract investment, attract investment, and attract investment!

Because only by attracting enterprises can employment problems be solved, and thus economic problems can be alleviated.

Every time they attract investment, the secretary leads the team, the mayor is the deputy, and everyone participates.

If it goes well, the whole team gets promoted.

If it goes poorly, the light punishment is criticism, and the heavy punishment is a change of team.

To put it bluntly, it's: whoever performs well gets the position.

"If it weren't for this strange encounter, I'm afraid I'd have to go and keep Old Xu company next year."

The mayor walked out of the secretary's office, took a long breath, checked the time, and headed straight for the credit union.

The problems facing the countryside are so severe, and it's not easy to attract a foreign enterprise, a loan of 500,000...

Whoever dares to delay, will meet in the detention center!
