Siheyuan: Returning to 61 to collect waste

Looking at his parents' expressions, Ye Chuan couldn't help feeling a little complacent, and his eyes were a little vague.

"Pa!" Suddenly, he felt a light pat on the back of his head. He looked up and saw his father glaring at him.

"Boy, what are you so proud of? Even if you are the richest man in the world, I am still your father!"

"Yes, yes, you will always be my father!" Ye Chuan said with a smile.

Ye Hansu and his three siblings covered their mouths and laughed secretly, and a smile also appeared on Tong Yao and Li Huikuizi's faces.

"Madam, this family is so enviable!" said Li Huikuizi.

"Kuizi, just call me Yaoyao from now on, or you can call me sister." Tong Yao was not used to the title "Madam".

"Yes, okay, Sister Yaoyao."

"You just said you envy our family? Actually, we should be the ones who envy you. Your family is so rich in Japan, you have enough food and clothes, you should be living a carefree life."

Li Huikuizi's eyes were a little dim: "My mother died of illness when I was very young. Although my father did not remarry, he was always surrounded by women. Because he had to manage a large company, he was always serious, not to mention joking with me. My father was very strict with me since I was a child, and he trained me as the future chairman of Nikang Company. When I was pregnant, I cut off contact with him for several years, and our relationship eased until Han Yi grew up a little."

Tong Yao could fully understand the pressure an unmarried woman was under. "Kuizi, from now on, this is your home."

"Okay!" Li Huikuizi responded firmly, tears of emotion welling up in her eyes.

Ye Hanyi quickly adapted to the life in her new home. She was always very close to Ye Hansu, chatting with her about everything. Even the two children, Ye Weiqing and Ye Weizhen, had begun to call her "Second Sister".

Seeing such a harmonious family, his heart was filled with joy.

He knew that if the conflicts at home intensified, it would cost him a lot of energy, and the harmonious coexistence between the two women was the source of his motivation to work hard in his career.

"You little brat, you must remember to be grateful. Tong Yao has contributed a lot to this family." Ye Yongshun came over and reminded quietly.

"Dad, don't worry, I will never let Tong Yao down and will definitely treat her well."

As night fell, the capital was surrounded by the sound of continuous firecrackers and a strong festive atmosphere.

"Dad, I love China so much. This feeling makes me so happy!" Ye Hanyi looked up at the brilliant fireworks blooming in the sky and expressed her feelings sincerely.

"Han Yi, you are a child of China, so of course you should love your motherland. In the future, you and your mother will stay in China, and just go back to visit your grandfather from time to time." Ye Chuan taught patiently.

"Okay!" Ye Hanyi answered happily. She loved the Chinese New Year, was fond of this ancient courtyard, and loved everyone in her family.

The New Year’s Eve dinner was held in the foyer in the backyard, and the huge wooden dining table was filled with delicious dishes.

Liu Yue and Tong Yao put a lot of thought into cooking a table full of delicious dishes, preparing eighteen dishes in total.

"Wow, there are so many!" Li Huikuizi couldn't help but exclaim.

"Kuizi, your family is so well-off, shouldn't such delicacies be very common?" Liu Yue asked doubtfully, as if he felt that this second daughter-in-law seemed a little unworldly.

Li Hui Kuizi showed some helplessness on her face: "The food in the island country is mostly sashimi and sushi, how can it compare with the diversity and deliciousness of Chinese food?"

The Ye family was very busy this New Year. It was not until the evening of the second day of the first lunar month that Li Huikuizi took Ye Hanyi back to the presidential suite of the foreign-related hotel in the capital.

On the third day of the first lunar month, Ye Chuan and Tong Yao led their three children to visit the Tong family, officially putting a perfect end to this year's Spring Festival.

Although there is a traditional saying that "the New Year will not begin until the end of the first month of the lunar year", by the fourth day of the first month of the lunar year, most people have returned to work and started the new year's work.

On this day, Li Hui Kuizi flew to the island country to look for production equipment for the electronics factory that was to be established.

In this era, it is not easy for China to obtain the most advanced production technology, but due to the intervention of Tino Cosmetics Company, those industrial companies will still give it some face.

According to Li Huikuizi, if the other party does not cooperate, she will threaten to buy out the other party's shares. With sufficient financial support, she is more decisive and bold in her actions.

While Li Huikuizi was busy looking for production equipment in the island country, Ye Chuan was also busy contacting the raw material suppliers himself.

However, most of these suppliers are state-owned enterprises, and they almost ignore inquiries from private businesses and are unwilling to meet with sales managers or deputy sales managers.

After a round of contacts, the results were all unsatisfactory. Ye Chuan then realized how difficult it was to do things in this era. In desperation, he had to ask Chen Feiming for help, and the other party was quite straightforward and helped him contact some factories in neighboring cities, barely solving the problem of raw material supply.

"Brother Ye, you could have been an official, but you chose to go into business. Now you know how difficult it is, right?" Chen Feiming said with a smile.

Ye Chuan smiled bitterly: "There is no way. People's concepts have not changed yet. When everyone realizes that a stable job can only make a living but not make them rich, it will be time for some state-owned enterprises to restructure."

Chen Feiming didn't take this seriously. Under the current state-owned enterprise-dominated situation, there is no sign of decline at all. People have become accustomed to the rationing system, and private procurement is almost impossible. This time, he was able to help Ye Chuan contact these factories thanks to the old connections he made when he was Mr. Xu's secretary. He often entertained Mr. Xu when he came to Beijing, and established a lot of personal relationships with him.

If you want to purchase raw materials on a large scale, you must get the instructions of Mr. Xu and Mr. Song. Ye Chuan didn't want to alarm these two big men for the time being. He decided to promote his products first, and then go to the two leaders for help after he had sales performance and market reputation.

"Brother Ye, I really don't know where you get your confidence from. Most of the self-employed people nowadays are setting up stalls. There are so many self-employed people in China, but you are the first one to open a factory." Chen Feiming said with a smile.

"We have to have someone who is the best." Ye Chuan was in a good mood. All the problems had been solved and he was just waiting for the installation of the production line.

As for the various preparations, funding was the least of the worries. With $500 million in hand, almost no country would refuse. At that time, the economies of countries around the world were developing rapidly, and the problem of capital shortage was very common. With such a huge amount of capital, Tino Cosmetics Company naturally became the object of pursuit from all sides.

The construction of the factory was also proceeding in an orderly manner. Ye Chuan asked the construction team to fence off the rented land and build a factory and office building near the national highway. Currently, about half of the project has been completed. Fatty Han's recruitment work progressed a little slower. By the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, there were only five or six hundred people. However, Yuan Guowei used his connections to recruit technicians from more than a dozen different factories, and each person's salary reached more than one hundred yuan.

Ye Chuan doesn't care about the so-called high salary, as long as the person is capable, it's nothing more than spending more money. With the support of Tino Cosmetics Company, he is willing to pay even if the salary is ten times higher. Money is indeed an invincible weapon. With the blessing of money, the factory's affairs progressed much faster than expected, and the training of new workers was successfully launched with the efforts of Yuan Guowei.

Although reform and opening up began in the 80s, Ye Chuan firmly believed that with the support of the system, he could reach the world's leading level in the shortest time and let the world see the strength of the Chinese people.

At the same time, he named the factory Huade Electronics Factory.

Ye Chuan has universal circuit board technology and basic motor production technology, plus the camera principle provided by Li Hui Kuizi, so he has all the technology. Regarding the personnel allocation of the enterprise, it only needs to select people who obey orders, are loyal and reliable.

He planned to separate the technical department from the production department, letting Yuan Guowei be in charge of the technical department, focusing on research and development, while production would be completely independent. Yuan Guowei was appointed director of the technical department, and Zhou Kesheng, who also came from the technical department of the Second Electronics Factory, was appointed deputy director.

Ma Jianshe and Han Pangzi, who have been the closest to Ye Chuan for many years, serve as deputy factory director and security chief respectively. Ye Chuan originally planned to let Han Pangzi manage logistics, but Tong Yao's cousin Wang Yanli took the initiative to take over, and Ye Chuan agreed.

Xia Zhongyuan naturally became the director of the sales department and was leading a dozen employees to establish a sales network across the country.

Ye Chuan has not yet arranged for anyone else to manage the HR and Finance departments. Because there is a lack of suitable candidates, he takes on the roles himself. He once considered asking his wife to resign and come to the factory to manage the finances, but Tong Yao insisted on continuing to teach, so he had to give up. Fortunately, there are not many employees in the factory at present, less than a thousand in total, so it can still be managed for the time being. In early April, Li Huikuizi finally returned to China, and the full set of production lines was about to be in place.

She spent a lot of money to buy a series of production lines using the latest technology in Japan. With the brand influence of Tino Cosmetics, these industrial companies have provided the best quality equipment. Li Hui Kuizi originally planned to accept all of them, but Ye Chuan reminded her to only choose the production lines that the factory actually needs to avoid being eliminated too quickly.

With the factory building completed and equipment in place, Yechuan plans to officially start construction and lay the foundation stone on April 4.

By the middle of 1980, many business licenses had been issued, and a large number of street vendors emerged on the streets of southern cities. When they found that no one was interfering, these stalls expanded. In contrast, the situation in northern cities was worse, with many state-owned factories, and people still believed that being a worker was more stable.

Chen Feiming's work is facing challenges, and his superiors and he are paying special attention to Ye Chuan. When they learned that Huade Electronics Factory was about to hold a groundbreaking ceremony and sent out an invitation, they all said they would personally attend to support.

In the early morning of April 4, cars and jeeps filled the yard of the Huade Electronics Factory, and the originally deserted place suddenly became lively.

Ye Chuan's invitations were everywhere, and to his surprise, everyone who received the invitation came as promised. Elder Xu and Elder Song, who were too high-ranking, could not attend the event in person, but they also sent their personal secretaries to show their support.
