Siheyuan: Happy Life of Jia Zhang Family

After Zhang Dabao arrived at the company, "Mr. Yan" company manager Hu Yongjia hurried out to greet him.

"Manager Hu, please arrange five rooms. Nine security guards will be coming tonight. I will send them over then," Zhang Dabao arranged.

"Okay, Mr. Yan." Hu Yongjia is a professional manager with strong execution ability. As long as it is the boss's order, he will arrange it directly without asking the reason.

"Mr. Yan, I have informed the kitchen and reserved food for ten people. When the time comes, I will ask the new colleague to call Lao Liu to prepare it," said Hu Yongjia. Lao Liu is the chef here.

"Okay, we will hold a meeting tomorrow to introduce you. I will be in charge of the security department myself, and you can discuss anything with me," Zhang Dabao said to Hu Yongjia. He should understand what he meant. Although you are the company manager and have the position of deputy general manager, you cannot be in charge of the security department.

"Okay, Mr. Yan, I received the news about the steel bars. They have already shipped them out and are expected to arrive at the port next Monday," said Hu Yongjia.

"I see. By the way, Manager Hu, please find out where the most advanced looms are. I plan to open a textile factory specializing in making towels, quilts, handkerchiefs and the like. Also, if there are any skilled craftsmen, you can recruit a few of them. The salary should be a little higher than the market price, but not more than 20%. We cannot disrupt the market situation." Zhang Dabao arranged two more things.

"Okay, Mr. Yan." Hu Yongjia wrote down what Zhang Dabao had arranged in the notebook he carried with him. His work attitude was likable, as it showed respect for the leader.

Zhang Dabao waited in the company office until midnight, then drove his van to the road by the sea and walked to the beach alone.

After waiting for more than an hour, a small boat came over. After the boat stopped, dozens of people got off at once. Huang Xinsheng and nine others were among them. "Xinsheng, this way," Zhang Dabao shouted and waved to Huang Xinsheng and the others.

After getting on the van, Zhang Dabao reminded everyone, "Brothers, this is a place occupied by capitalism. In our words, this place has not been liberated yet and is still an enemy-occupied area. My current name is Yan Ming and I'm a company boss. You can't call me company commander anymore, call me Mr. Yan."

"I understand, Mr. Yan," Huang Xinsheng agreed.

"We have to be careful when doing things here. We must always say that we are here to make a living and don't talk about anything from the mainland. We will live in the factory today and take over the company's security work tomorrow," Zhang Dabao said to Huang Xinsheng and nine others.

"Yes, Mr. Yan," the nine people answered in unison.

When they arrived at the factory, Chef Liu from the canteen prepared meals for everyone. After the meal, it was already daybreak, so they didn't take a rest. Instead, Zhang Dabao took the nine people around the factory to let them know what was going on.

After visiting the factory, Zhang Dabao brought his comrades to the conference room. "Dear comrades, let me tell you about your work tasks." Zhang Dabao looked at everyone. Everyone straightened up and listened to Zhang Dabao's speech carefully.

"The first task is to recover your body. You have suffered a lot in the village. You can't eat too much and the work is tiring. Your physical fitness has been affected. This is not acceptable. The second is gradual training. While protecting the factory, you also have field missions. It is necessary to explain in advance that there are certain dangers. It is very chaotic here now, and it is common to use knives and guns. The third task is that we don't have enough manpower. I don't trust these locals very much. I only trust my comrades. I hope that after a while, everyone feels that it is okay here, and then we can contact a few more comrades." Zhang Dabao looked at everyone again.

"By the way, has Xinsheng told you about the salary and benefits?" Zhang Dabao looked at Huang Xinsheng.

"I said it's 300 yuan a month and 500 yuan for settling-in. The settling-in allowance has been paid," said Huang Xinsheng.

"By the way, start with 300 yuan a month, and then raise your salary after the factory starts operating." Zhang Dabao looked at his comrades again.

"Company commander, is the three hundred yuan you mentioned our money?" Liu Hu asked.

"Of course it's our money. If you want to buy something here, you can also pay here, but the things here are not cheap," Zhang Dabao said with a smile.

"It's really three hundred..." The comrades couldn't help it.

After getting to work, Zhang Dabao held a meeting with everyone, introduced the existing personnel in the company, invited the security personnel from Zhong Daohao's company who were helping in Huabang to have lunch, gave each of them a red envelope, and Zhang Dabao personally sent the security guards back.

Zhang Dabao said goodbye to the security guards downstairs, took some domestic specialties from the van and came to Zhong Daohao's office.

"Uncle Zhong, this is authentic autumn tea, which I asked a friend to buy from Rizhao. It's also authentic local pancakes, and I brought two servings, one for you and one for my uncle." Zhang Dabao put the things on Zhong Daohao's desk.

"Xiao Ming, I like these packages. When people get old, they miss home especially, and miss everything at home, the jujube tree in front of my door, the stone house at home, and my parents' graves. I don't know if I will have the chance to go back and take a look again," said Zhong Daohao.

"Of course there is a chance. When the policy there gets better, I will make some connections for you. You can go back and take a look. You can even invest and set up a factory. Mr. Zhong's steel bars will arrive next Monday. We can deliver them directly from the port to your construction site, so you don't have to put them in our warehouse and then ship them out, wasting freight," said Zhang Dabao.

"No problem, Xiao Ming. I heard from Ah Xing that your security personnel are here. It's not enough to have only people. You need to prepare some weapons. Not all the people in Hong Kong are good men and women. You need to be able to protect yourself if you do business," Zhong Daohao instructed.

"Thank you, Uncle Zhong, I am prepared. It's a different era now, we can't just rely on our fists," said Zhang Dabao.

"Xiao Ming, the real estate in Hong Kong is so hot right now, and you can make a lot of money. Are you interested in playing around with us?" Zhong Daohao asked.

"How do we play?" Zhang Dabao asked after taking a sip of tea.

"Xiao Ming, I told you last time that I have a real estate company. Real estate is making too much money now. All the bigwigs in Hong Kong want to get a piece of the pie. To be honest, my strength is still far behind those people, so I can't get good land. Especially now there is a company that always targets me. Whenever I want to bid, they always raise the price, and they raise it regardless of the cost. This puts me in a passive position." Zhong Daohao took a sip of tea and paused.

"So what?" Zhang Dabao asked.

"Xiao Ming, the so-called market competition is like a hungry dog ​​attacking its food. It's a fight to the death. At that time, I said I would give you 20% of the shares. Now I've thought about it. If you pay one million, I'll give you another 21%, then you will have 30% of the shares. To be honest, that's more than the shares of my three sons combined. If you don't have the money, just owe it to me first. When you make money, pay me back," Zhong Daohao said to Zhang Dabao.

"Uncle Zhong, if I don't agree, I would be really ungrateful, but I have two conditions," said Zhang Dabao.
