In the 1990s, the tiger-head Benz worth 1.6 million yuan was not only a symbol of wealth but also represented status and reputation.

Especially in some remote areas, even if you have money, you may not dare to buy it, and even if you buy it, you may not dare to drive it.

Therefore, it also gained the name of "big Benz".

The tiger-head Benz of the big brothers and bosses!

As the saying goes, the richer you are, the more superstitious you become.

Whenever it involves numbers, the big brothers and bosses try to avoid homophones as much as possible.

For example, the number 2 should not appear in funeral matters, so as to avoid double mourning.

For example, the number 3 should not appear in birthday celebrations or weddings, so as to avoid dispersing like smoke and clouds.

Especially the number 4, it's associated with death, accidents, and troubles, and it's simply taboo.

And the tiger-head Benz with the license plate number 44444, it's probably the only one in the whole country.

Whether it's the village leaders or the county leaders, they are all overwhelmed by it.

On the other side.

The car stopped, and Half Blind Huang, dressed in a white suit and black leather shoes, slowly opened the back door while holding a big cigar.

When he saw the two police cars parked next to him, he was slightly stunned at first, thinking that someone had reported him for selling dogs at a high price!

But then he thought it was impossible.

"Could it be that someone reported me for misusing public funds to buy the tiger-head Benz?"

Half Blind Huang was well aware that the 1.5 million from selling dogs had all gone into someone's pocket.

This time, when he bought the tiger-head Benz, the other party claimed to go through the company's accounts, but in reality, they made him write down "Xu Fei".

Now that he had bought the car, it had nothing to do with the company.

Where could the company make up for the funding gap?

With this thought in mind, Half Blind Huang opened the door of the Chinese-made car and approached everyone, "Factory Director, good news! The higher-level company has approved your application, providing additional funding for expansion, and also treating this car as a year-end bonus, rewarding it to you personally."

Village leader: "!!!"

County leader: "!!!"

Xu Fei: "???"

Where did you find the higher-level company?

Can you take me to see it?

After Xu Fei's astonishment, he pretended to be excited and raised his fist, "That's great!"

Then he introduced, "Director Gong, Director Shang, this is Huang Banxia, the sales manager of our branch. After the toy factory was established, Manager Huang gathered the old sales team from the electric fan factory and opened up a path for our branch in the toy market, making great contributions. I have already applied to the higher-level company and promoted him to regional sales manager."

It's another reward with the tiger-head Benz, and another investment of five million...

The county leaders, who were skeptical about TEP, believed it this time.

The toy factory only received a loan of 500,000 yuan. The equipment, funds, and production materials couldn't just appear out of thin air, right?

It was obvious that they had help from the higher-level company.

But then again.

If the higher-level company doesn't have an organizational code, where did they get so much money?

But if they don't have that much money, how did they invest in this toy factory?

Especially those imported equipment, all brand new.

And there were various documents signed by the customs... Wait, the customs?

No organizational code, but they can pass through customs?

Could it be...

Does this foreign enterprise have connections?

The two county leaders felt a chill in their hearts and paid attention to Xu Fei while not neglecting Half Blind Huang.

"Manager Huang, nice to meet you!"

"Leaders, you've worked hard."

After exchanging pleasantries, they entered the office.

Looking up, they saw ten computers and ten small blackboards.

The simple decoration style and neat arrangement of documents made the county leaders nod in approval.

These days, not to mention township enterprises, even companies in the county town don't have many that use computers for office work.

Look at this foreign enterprise, so fashionable!

Director Gong looked at the business license hung up by Huang Banxia and smiled as he turned around, "Xiao Xu, when the toy factory was established, the village secretary came to me overnight. When I opened the documents, I was surprised to see that it was TEP, a big company!"

Half Blind Huang agreed wholeheartedly.

The village leaders felt the same way.

Everyone in the room, except for Xu Fei, was particularly confused.

Could TEP really exist?

But why couldn't they find any information about it?

Director Gong continued, "When I saw that it was TEP, I didn't hesitate and stamped it right away. Then I contacted the food supervision and certification agencies overnight... It was a busy night, and Director Shang also helped a lot."

"But after the documents were processed, our procedures were not completed. For example, we need to verify the capital before obtaining the documents. This morning, while I was in a meeting with Director Shang, the village secretary called me and said that the factory was almost ready, and the leaders should come to verify the capital. I thought, TEP is such a big company, and they came to our poor and remote place to establish a branch, so we should pay them a visit. That's why Director Shang and I came together."

Village secretary: "???"

"I originally didn't plan to come, thinking that I could go through the procedures based on the documents. But later, I thought that TEP, such a big company, came to our rural area to establish a branch, so we should pay them a visit. So, Director Shang and I came together."

Village secretary: "..."

Xu Fei: "Leaders, can't we call this a visit? This is called going deep into the grassroots, coming to correct and guide the achievements of the toy factory, and making further progress. Isn't that right, comrades?""Yes!"

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Upon hearing the commotion, the employees who had quietly gathered at the entrance of the traditional toy production workshop, along with the sales and security staff, all began to applaud enthusiastically.

The village secretary was stunned.

He felt that he had underestimated this old and young duo.

The old one could lie without batting an eye.

The young one could flatter without missing a beat.

These two should just team up and go attract investments!

...

As everyone chatted and walked, they arrived at the production workshop.

Xu Fei first explained the 'Digital Fully Automatic Integrated Production Module', which included a smelting electric furnace, a magnetic energy stabilizing coil, built-in fully automatic assembly equipment, 33 full-metal safety conveyor belts, and a conceptual model simulator for design purposes.

When the leaders heard that the daily production capacity was 80,000 tin toys...

They all gasped in unison.

Their surprise quickly turned into delight.

Especially Director Shang, who almost jumped up in excitement.

Xu Fei didn't want to reveal so much, but with such production capacity, taxes would have to be paid in the future. Especially since their major clients were involved in foreign trade, this information couldn't be hidden.

Next, they visited the large cafeteria.

In the 1200 square meter factory building, there were earthen stoves built by five master chefs. It seemed simple, but with the rows of chairs left over from the Electric Fan Factory, it looked quite decent overall.

Moreover, after deciding to implement three shifts, Xu Fei had also contacted a mutton soup restaurant, a bun shop, a donkey meat restaurant, a strong bread stall, a clatter stall, etc., to set up small food stalls to enrich the workers' meals, improve their taste, and earn some small change from the workers' pockets.

Of course, Factory Director Little Xu was very upright and never asked for any kickbacks from the small restaurant owners.

With all the walking and stopping, the morning passed quickly.

At noon, everyone had a casual meal in the large cafeteria.

The best restaurant, the best hotel, the best of everything in Yellow Mud Hillock was in the Electric Fan Factory.

But with the bankruptcy of the Electric Fan Factory, these good things were also abandoned.

After a satisfying meal, they sat in the office to rest. The toy factory welcomed a long line of logistics trucks.

The equipment for the manufacturing of the Three Kingdoms machinery had arrived.

With 20 new slots added, it was equivalent to adding 20 production lines.

Smelting electric furnaces, various coils, metal conveyor belts...

'Isn't this the capital expansion that Manager Huang talked about?'

The county leaders were even more convinced of TEP.

In the afternoon.

The village secretary brought a photographer from the photo studio.

The toy factory held several friendly matches.

Tug-of-war, three-legged race, single-knee jump...

In memory of the Electric Fan Factory, they also planned a basketball court and held a basketball game on the cracked cement floor.

Everyone was overjoyed.

By four in the afternoon.

All the villages in Yellow Mud Hillock had resolved the issue of profit distribution arising from collective shares ahead of schedule.

Just as Xu Fei had predicted, there were a total of 185 qualified applicants.

Seeing the toy factory's capital expansion and the addition of so many positions, Director Gong didn't hesitate and offered one million!

What one million?

A loan, of course. With so much production material occupying funds, and a piece of land in Large Swamps waiting to be developed, how could they proceed without money?

Moreover, carrying some loans would give them advance notice in case other places tried to attract the toy factory.

Before leaving.

Director Gong had a private chat with Xu Fei.

"Little Xu, actually, I'm also from Yellow Mud Hillock, and I'm a cousin of the village secretary. I've always been straightforward about the development of Yellow Mud Hillock. If you have any troubles in the future, feel free to come to me."

"Thank you, leader!"

"Also, about your father's situation, I really can't help. I hope you can understand."

"I understand, the waters are too deep."

"Haha... You're quite ambitious for your age!"

Immediately after.

Director Shang also came to have a private chat.

"Little Xu, you see, there are actually many projects in our Gu City that can be explored. If your company has other businesses, remember to come to me first."

Thinking of his own plans, Xu Fei decided to pave the way in advance, "Leader, what do you think about building a tractor factory?"

Director Shang immediately held up three fingers, "It's worth at least three thousand acres of land, given for free!"

"Hiss..."
