The leisurely life of the reborn daddy

People in some places just started setting up stalls in order to buy cheap raw materials, but this does not work in Caojiazhuang.

Therefore, the common people who set up stalls in Caojiazhuang would not consider buying low-quality grilled sausages simply for the sake of cheapness, but the problem is that the quality of those that are slightly more expensive is not much better.

"Brother Chao, it's not difficult to make grilled sausages. The consumption of sausages in the scenic area is not small. Ask if there are people in the village who want to do this job. There is still a certain profit here." Cao Shujie was very calm.

He did not get angry about the result. In fact, the vendors did not know how to control quality. The problem lies with the source manufacturers, not with the small vendors below.

Currently, the only way Cao Shujie can think of to ensure the quality of the sausages is to make them themselves.

Cao Shuchao didn't expect that Cao Shujie thought this way. He was stunned for a moment, and then asked Cao Shujie who would be better to do this job.

"We have to find someone who is responsible," said Cao Shujie.

But Cao Shuchao said, "Shujie, I think it would be better for the village committee to invest in a small processing plant and hire a few people to do this job, with small profits and quick turnover. What do you think?"

Cao Shujie really didn't expect Cao Shuchao to consider this. After thinking about it carefully, he felt that Cao Shuchao's idea was quite good and better than handing it over to an individual.

"Okay, Brother Chao, then I'll leave this matter to you and Uncle Guoqiang. Let's get to work." Cao Shujie said.

"Safety and hygiene must be ensured," he said.

Cao Shuchao nodded. This was not a big problem for him.

……

Time passed quickly. With the addition of Cao Shujie and his wife Cheng Xiaolin, the sales of Xuemeng Food Factory's products increased, the company's production capacity was stabilized, and sales even increased compared to before. However, Cao Shujie did not expand blindly.

There has also been sporadic news coming from Yiling City regarding foreign-invested agricultural and sideline products processing plants.

Cao Shujie also personally arranged for someone to take a look, but he was very surprised that the project had allocated a piece of land of more than 60 acres in the Yiling Industrial Park and surrounded it with iron sheets. The other party also hired a bulldozer to flatten the entire 600 acres of land and cleared away all the trees, weeds, stones and other things on the land.

It was originally messy like a wasteland, but after being repaired, it looks very neat.

Just when everyone thought that this was the rhythm of starting production, but according to the information sent back by the person who arranged it, there was no further action after finishing this task.

They neither saw any construction vehicles entering nor a large number of construction workers entering, and this result made Cao Shujie very confused.

He wasn't sure where the problem was.

However, many people are looking forward to the construction of this project as soon as possible. For many ordinary people, they are still thinking about working in foreign companies.

Five insurances and one fund, very competitive salary, 14 salaries per year, plus other benefits, for ordinary people, this is what they pursue.

Even many people working in small factories in Yiling City secretly went over to ask, but unfortunately, when they got there, they found that there was no one else there except two old men guarding the place.

In the past, people who inquired about recruitment situations also asked people who were stationed on the project where to apply, but those who were stationed on the project could not give a clear answer.

It’s just that every once in a while a report comes out about the project, as if reminding others of the existence of this project, but no one can tell for sure when it will actually start construction.

However, at the municipal meeting broadcast by the news channel of Yiling TV, the leaders of Yiling City mentioned the latest progress of foreign investment several times, as if it would start building factories at any time.

Cao Shujie did not take this matter lightly and he arranged someone to keep an eye on it.

He knew that the time span from the actual project establishment to the start of construction to the final successful production was very long.

It took him more than a year from the time he selected the site and built the factory to the time he put it into use in batches. It took more than three years to complete the entire project. This foreign investor wanted to invest in building a comprehensive agricultural and sideline products deep processing factory, which would not be accomplished in a short period of time.

Those leaders were all very boastful. From the very beginning, they mobilized all kinds of media to report on the event and promoted it desperately. They even brought foreign investors to visit the Xuemeng Food Factory. Cao Shujie was wondering in his heart, what on earth was Wang Xueli trying to do?

……

Wang Xueli has been very distressed recently. William, a foreign businessman who came to Yiling City to invest, has not been heard from since he returned to the East Coast of the United States after having dinner with Cao Shujie last time.

It was agreed that the investment in the entire project would be US$3 million, with US$1 million in the first phase. Although the talk sounded good and the momentum was great, when it came to actually implementing the funding and preparing for construction, there was no movement.

Wang Xueli thought that the benefits he had received from William were real, and he didn't think he would be fooled in this matter. What worried him was that he had boasted too much, and he had said it several times in the meeting. If he suddenly stopped at this time, where would he put his face?

Wang Xueli now really needs some new investment projects to support him, rather than using the investment projects left by Xiang Yuheng to embellish his political achievements.

I waited and waited, but there was still no movement.

Seeing that time was running out and one-third of May had passed with no movement, Wang Xueli began to get anxious. He arranged for someone to contact William to inquire about the progress of the investment.

Fortunately, we got in touch. After communicating with William, we found out that the foreign investors also wanted to start production as soon as possible. However, a large-scale factory construction project takes a long time from the start of construction to the actual production. After consultation with his investment team, William believed that the cost-effectiveness of building a factory by himself was too low, so he wanted to acquire a factory for renovation.

The problem is that they feel that ordinary small factories simply cannot meet their scale expectations, and their goal is to acquire a larger factory.

Hearing the other party say this, Wang Xueli immediately realized the meaning of William's words. However, Wang Xueli felt that the other party was really not very smart. He felt that this foreign investor did not understand China's national conditions at all and took things for granted.

"Does he think he can do whatever he wants just because he has money?" Wang Xueli thought to himself.

In fact, if possible, Wang Xueli felt that William's idea was not so difficult to accept, but William set the wrong target. Wang Xueli did not feel that he had lived enough, so he went to provoke people who were several levels higher than him.

Isn't that just dancing on the edge of a knife with your own head?
Wang Xueli doesn't think he is stupid.

When this news was accidentally revealed to Xuemeng Food Factory, Cao Shujie frowned after hearing it. He really didn't expect that the other party would actually have such an idea. He didn't know what to say.

But at this time Cao Shujie also realized that this group of people really did whatever they wanted.

They are more direct than Jack Ma and Lei Jun who wanted to invest in the company in the first place. Perhaps they have really studied Chinese culture and know how to cooperate with local governments.

"If I didn't know Wang Qinghui, Guan Guotai, and Xiang Yuheng, they might have succeeded in this." Cao Shujie thought to himself.

But Cao Shujie did not become proud of this, nor did he let his guard down. He knew that since the other party could reveal such words, it meant that the other party had not given up.

So the next step is door-to-door negotiations?
……

According to the date, my sister Cao Huifang's wedding is on August 8th of the Gregorian calendar, which is July 30th of the lunar calendar. It is already mid-May, and it won't be long before her wedding. During this time, Cao Huifang and Tong Jiayi will either take wedding photos, book a hotel or a fleet of cars.
There were many things to do, especially considering that there would be many people coming to their wedding day. Both Tong Jiayi and Cao Huifang took it very seriously. The two would occasionally go back to Caojiazhuang together to ask Cao Jianguo and Wang Yuelan about the wedding rules in Yiling.

Cao Shujie did not participate in the discussion on this topic. He had only one principle: as long as his sister was happy, it didn't matter if the rules were simplified.

But if his sister is not happy, what's the point of all these complicated things?

However, when Cao Huifang came back, she also talked about something alone with her brother Cao Shujie. Cao Huifang told her brother about the kiwi fruit trees that she and her classmates planted in her brother's orchard when they came to Caojiazhuang together. There were still plastic labels on them. She wanted to ask her brother if he could send those kiwi fruit to the address given by her classmates?
These were all trivial matters. Cao Shujie directly asked his sister for the address and told her not to worry about it anymore. When the kiwis were ripe, Cao Shujie would arrange for someone to send them out.

After hearing this, Cao Huifang jumped and danced like a little child, holding her brother's arm.

But Cao Shujie brushed him off: "You're about to get married, but you're still so unstable."

"Brother, let me tell you..." Cao Huifang started talking endlessly, but Cao Shujie didn't listen.

During this period, Cao Shujie contacted Wang Qinghui once, but when he called, someone else answered the phone, who said that the leader was busy and would call him back later.

Wang Qinghui didn't call him back until the evening.

Cao Shujie could hear some fatigue in Wang Qinghui's voice over the phone.

He also realized that Wang Qinghui's current job was not easy.

But that level was too high, Cao Shujie couldn't reach it at all, and he couldn't help.

However, Cao Shujie told Wang Qinghui about the recent development of Xuemeng Food Factory and the two groups of foreign investors who had come here. Cao Shujie also told Wang Qinghui about the rumors he had heard.

On the phone, Cao Shujie told Wang Qinghui in a relaxed tone that he should rest assured and that everything was normal at Xuemeng Food Factory.

He also told Wang Qinghui that the first-generation nutrient solution was now selling very well. With the increase in shipments and the reduction in cost price through large-scale purchases of raw materials, the unit price of the first-generation nutrient solution had also dropped a bit, and the company's profits had also increased. Everything was changing subtly.

After chatting with Wang Qinghui for such a long time, Wang Qinghui's tone did not change much.

But when Cao Shujie said that the cost price of the first generation of nutrient solution would be diluted with the increase in production capacity, Cao Shujie heard Wang Qinghui's laughter on the phone.

Cao Shujie also laughed.

"Uncle Wang, are you tired?" he asked Wang Qinghui.

This was the first time Cao Shujie asked this question directly in the few years since they had known each other.

In the past, Cao Shujie did not have such a deep understanding, but after what happened after Wang Qinghui left, Cao Shujie truly gained a deep understanding.

"It's okay, at least I can still do what I like." Wang Qinghui said.

……

After hanging up the phone, Cao Shujie smiled again.

However, as time went on, news of increases in various import and export tariffs on the other side of the ocean came frequently, and the time for the tariffs to be officially implemented was also set, which was in June.

As the news was confirmed, the A-share market fell into a slump. Judging from the market, the A-share market was terrible. The problem was that it was useless to unplug the network cable at this time.

No one can do anything about it, and the deep love, deep respect and painful hatred for Big A on the Internet are such complex emotions that outsiders cannot understand.

After Cao Shujie heard about this, he just laughed it off.

Especially when it comes to matters concerning Big A, Cao Shujie is too lazy to listen.

Under such circumstances, the price of Bitcoin also plummeted all the way, and even fell below the integer mark of 5000 US dollars.

However, Cao Shujie still did not buy it, even though people on the Internet were clamoring that the A-share market had reached its bottom and the price of Bitcoin had also fallen to a trough, and that Bitcoin could return to $2 and the A-share market could surpass 6000 points and reach new heights, but Cao Shujie seemed to have heard nothing and did not even listen.

If such a good thing really existed, from the perspective of human nature, a small number of people would just make their fortune quietly and would never let outsiders know about it.

And when these people find out about these things, they will think about doing the so-called bottom fishing. Cao Shujie feels that they are not far from being cut off.

……

However, when the weather got warmer, most of the elderly people came out to bask in the sun, chat in groups, and walk around to exercise. Cao Shujie noticed that his grandfather did not seem to be in good health.

In fact, my grandfather’s health has not been very good in recent years.

But Cao Shujie had previously asked Lu Yuanzhi to help his grandfather with his medical treatment. He also took some Chinese medicine to nourish his grandfather's body and gave his grandfather the best quality deer antler slices every now and then. However, as Lu Yuanzhi said, his grandfather was in poor health, not lack of nutrition.

As his grandfather had just turned 90 and was about to sprint towards the next century, Cao Shujie began to wonder where to find a good doctor to check on his grandfather.

But this time it's difficult.

There are a lot of ordinary doctors, but very few miracle doctors like Lu Yuanzhi. With the passing of Lu Yuanzhi, Cao Shujie once consulted Liang Shihong to introduce him to a good master of traditional Chinese medicine, but unfortunately, Liang Shihong could not find a better doctor than his teacher Lu Yuanzhi, so Cao Shujie had to give up in the end.

He shortened the time of live-streaming sales in the factory by half. He was busy at the company in the morning and returned to Caojiazhuang in the afternoon. The live-streaming was handed over to Chen Hong and He Ruijia, who were personally responsible for it, and continued the live-streaming using the account of his wife Cheng Xiaolin, instead of just finding an employee of the company to handle it.

People in the company didn’t understand what was going on, but Cheng Xiaolin knew.

Regarding this matter, Cheng Xiaolin felt that her husband did nothing wrong.

As for money, they already have a lot of it.

However, some things are more precious than others.

The wedding of Cao Huifang and Tong Jiayi is also being urgently prepared.

Cao Shujie would occasionally call his sister to ask if she needed anything, and he promised his sister that if she needed something, she could just tell him and he, as her brother, would buy it for her.

"Brother, don't worry. If there is a real shortage, you will definitely have to pay for it." Cao Huifang said with a smile. (End of this chapter)
