Cold chain transportation exists in this era, but it is not common, and most of it is in the hands of large state-owned enterprises. If you don’t have it and want to use it, it is still quite difficult.

Boss Chen had already prepared the cash and paid Liu Xia Lian directly with a full bag.

"I'm going back to my hometown to celebrate the New Year tomorrow. If you want any gifts, I'll bring them back for you."

Liu Xia Lian smiled and said, "No one asks for gifts. Just bring whatever you want."

"That's true. The problem is that I don't know what you like."

"Don't bring any gifts. When you go back, find a way to buy me a few hundred Chenghai Lion-head goose breeders. It just so happens that I have a round-trip carriage from Pengcheng."

When Boss Chen heard this, he thought of the delicious lion-head goose, which was the taste of his hometown.

"Okay, I haven't eaten the lion-head goose from my hometown for a long time. The delicious taste makes me linger. But the lion-head goose is big, lays few eggs, and reproduces slowly, so it may not be popular in the Northeast."

"That's for sure. My goal in raising geese is for the south. A lion-head goose weighs 16 or 17 kilograms, and only people in the south are willing to spend money to eat it. We still like to eat local large white geese. Chaoshan people seem to like goose necks the most, and goose meat is not expensive either."

Boss Chen smiled and said, "No wonder you are successful, you know everything. Braised goose head tastes so good, but it is also expensive. Cut a braised goose head into several pieces and pour the thick braised meat soup on it. It tastes so good."

Liu Xia Lian took out two thousand yuan and said, "Boss Chen, this is the money for buying the breeding geese. Take it first. If it's not enough, I'll give you more later."

"Okay, no problem. I'll definitely arrange it for you. I'll take the money and I'll settle the bill when I buy it later."

Liu Xia Lian raised her wrist and looked at the watch: "We can't chat anymore, it's past four o'clock, I should go."

When Liu Xia Lian returned to the factory gate, she happened to see Daya and Erya eating candied haws. Daya was making rapid progress. Recently, she could buy movie tickets and candied haws by herself, and could have simple conversations with strangers.

"Da Ya, Er Ya, what are you two doing?"

"We went to the video hall to watch a movie. It was so noisy that we left halfway through. It's not as big as a movie theater."

"It's different. The cinema is a large auditorium built by the forest farm in the 1960s. It can accommodate thousands of people. The video room is just three rooms with some stools. There are so many people at this time, it must be crowded. You can go to the cinema tomorrow. Let's go to the county farm machinery factory."

"Ok."

The two of them were fine, so Daya drove the jeep and rushed to the Daqiang Agricultural Machinery Factory.

Although the agricultural machinery factory was established not long ago, its business has not fallen behind at all. It has over a hundred employees, and fifty of them are still working now.

In the workshop, there is the sound of clanging wheels and hammers, or the flash of welding that sounds like lightning.

The tractor-mounted snowplow has been warmly welcomed by the market due to its good performance. Hundreds of sets have been sold and the company is still working overtime to produce it.

The Daqiang Agricultural Machinery Factory is known as a men's nest, and it really lives up to its reputation. At a glance, there are almost no female workers to be seen, which is completely opposite to the situation in the kimchi factory.

Liu Daqiang is improving the rotary tiller in the workshop. The rotary tiller equipped with tractors will be a hot seller in the spring of next year.

The diesel three-wheel production equipment ordered some time ago has not arrived yet, and the old equipment is used to produce various simple accessories.

"Director Liu, I'm here to inspect our work." Liu Daqiang took off his gloves that were covered with burn spots.

"Have the factory's benefits and wages been paid?"

"They have all been paid, and we have also advanced one month's salary to workers in need. The benefits are definitely about 20 percent higher than those of similar factories."

"It's a good arrangement. It's almost the New Year, so it's time to take a holiday. The workers are distracted at work."

"It's fine here. We are all old men and don't really care about family matters."

Liu Xia Lian chatted with Liu Daqiang for a while and then called Chen Ziguang to the office.

Chen Ziguang was still wondering, he hadn't made any mistakes recently. Even if he had, shouldn't his direct supervisor Liu Daqiang have criticized and educated him?

In the office, Liu Xia Lian was sitting on a chair and Chen Ziguang was standing in front of her, just like a class teacher criticizing a child.

Liu Xialian said, "Sit down, don't be nervous, I came to you to ask you something."

"Okay, boss, go ahead."

"It's like this. I heard that you have read military books and strategies. How about sending you to fight in a war?"

"Go to war? Lead troops? How many people?"

"Yes, we are fighting. We have about a hundred people at the moment. It's like this. We have a jadeite mine in northern Myanmar, which mines jade. Now everything else is complete, except for a factory manager. The monthly salary is 800 yuan, and I will give you 1% of the profit as a dividend, which is about 50,000 yuan a year."

Chen Ziguang hesitated and took a breath. Fifty thousand yuan, what does that mean? With his current salary of one hundred yuan, how many years would it take?

"I heard that most people in that area grow flour. I wonder if our mine is also doing this business."

"What are you thinking? This is a legitimate business, registered with the Yunnan Provincial Mining Bureau. Needless to say, if anyone takes a stab at this business, they will be shot. Why do they pay so much? Because they are really risking their lives. Our mine has always been ridiculed by local forces. Now there is a brave and courageous general over there, and the weapons are also complete. The only thing we lack is a factory director who can manage the overall situation and who also knows the art of war."

"What if I die in battle?"

"That means he died in the line of duty. The mine will pay him 30,000 yuan in compensation."

"Okay, I'll do it then. I'll go to work sometime."

"You will leave after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Random publicity is strictly prohibited. Salaries are confidential. Do you understand?"

"Understood. Can I bring a few people with me? I have some childhood friends who are good at martial arts and I want to bring them with me."

"Sure, bring you here for an interview. If you pass, you will get a salary of 400 yuan, but no shares. Oh, and if you are incompetent and can't control the situation, I will remove you. You can either come back or stay there as an ordinary employee. The salary for an ordinary employee is 400 yuan."

"Understood. I believe in my own abilities. More than a hundred people should be enough to deal with the surrounding warlords. I'll go call my childhood friend."

Chen Ziguang rode his bike home, and after a while, he brought back two rough men. These two men should be brothers. They were big and strong, and looked like capable men. They were in their thirties.

"This is my boss, Mr. Liu. Chai Yong and Chai Meng are calling for help."

The two of them were quite presentable: "Hello, Mr. Liu."

"Zi Guang has also told you that being a guard in a mine means carrying five or six semi-automatic patrols and fighting with nearby armed forces. You have to risk your life."

"We are both bachelors. Our parents died early, and we have no wives or children. We like playing with guns. Money doesn't matter as long as we can play with guns," said Chai Yong.

"Okay, that's settled. Salary is 400, bonus is extra, departure after the New Year. Salary is confidential, no disclosure to others, anyone violating the rules will be fired immediately."

"Okay, don't worry."
