Return to the small mountain village in 1983

After looking at the resume for a while, Lin Yue said in surprise: "Brother, there is someone with a high school degree here."

Lin Heng stopped what he was doing, took the resume and took a look at it. It said that he had only attended one year of high school, there were eight people in his family, he was currently single, and he had only done odd jobs before.

"Put it over there." Lin Heng smiled.

Lin Yue was curious: "Brother, do you think there is a problem with this?"

"It's hard to say. We'll know when we meet the real person." Lin Heng shook his head and said.

The preliminary screening was completed in a short while. There were more than fifty people who submitted their resumes. Thirty were selected in the first round, and then Lin Heng screened out ten again, leaving twenty for re-selection.

After reading it, he took the written list and went out. Looking at the people waiting outside, he said, "Twenty people have been selected. Please follow me in if your name is read."

"Here is the list of the selected candidates: Zhang Zijun, Li Yongshi..."

As Lin Heng read out the names, young people came in one by one and looked at him excitedly. Thirty yuan a month was a very high salary for them.

After these people entered the room, Lin Heng first called out a name: "Who is Li Yongyin?"

Soon, a young man with his hair covering his eyes came out, looked at Lin Heng and said, "Hello, leader. I am Li Yongyin."

"You said you have a high school education and you are in the first year of high school?" Lin Heng looked at him and asked curiously.

"Yes." Li Yongyin nodded.

Lin Heng looked at him and asked, "Can you recite Qin Yuan Chun·Snow?"

Hearing Lin Heng's question, Li Yongyin's calm face suddenly showed a little nervousness: "I could recite it when I was in school, but now I have forgotten it."

Lin Heng smiled and asked, "Then you should know who wrote this poem, right?"

Li Yongyin stopped talking. Lin Heng laughed and said, "You don't even know this, and you still dare to say that you have only a high school degree? You should at least pretend to be more convincing if you want to fool people."

In this era, even in the city, there are many people who have not graduated from junior high school. Many of them just go to primary school and stop studying. The best ones go to technical secondary schools and wait for assignments. If you have a high school diploma, at least you can go to rural areas to teach in primary schools. Why would you come here to find a job?

Then he looked at the others. These people were also nervous now. They did not expect there would be such a test. Why did this young-looking leader give people such a strong sense of oppression?

"Go out. Those who cheat like him should go out by yourself. Don't make me question them one by one." Lin Heng said to everyone.

After Li Yongyin walked out, six other people walked out soon after. It was obvious that none of them could withstand the stress test from Lin Heng.

"Okay, the rest of you come here one by one and tell me your specific situation." Lin Heng nodded, sat down and said.

The remaining 13 people lined up and walked in front of Lin Heng, taking the initiative to introduce themselves to Lin Heng, and Lin Heng would ask some questions from time to time.

It took him nearly an hour to communicate with these people. Finally, he stood up and looked at everyone and said, "I have already selected the specific candidates. This time, I will recruit five people. These five people are Liu Jinqiang, Zhang Lei, Li Aiguo, Zhu Wang, and Wang Ran."

"Thank you, leader!"

The five people who were chosen were very happy and nodded repeatedly to express their gratitude.

The selected ones all looked dejected. One of them pointed at a short man and said, "This Li Aiguo only has a third-grade education and is from the countryside. How come he was chosen, but I, who graduated from elementary school, was not chosen?"

Li Aiguo looked over nervously when he heard the question. He really didn't expect that he would be chosen. His level as a third-grade primary school student was just enough to recognize a few words and do simple multiplication and division.

Lin Heng glanced at the man and smiled, "I have my reasons for choosing who to choose. There is no need to tell you. Please leave."

These people were so angry at his words that they turned around and left. Li Aiguo was suddenly grateful to Lin Heng. He had just wanted to give it a try, but he didn't expect to be really selected. He secretly decided to work hard.

In fact, Lin Heng chose him because he had a difficult life. Not to mention that he came from a rural area, he had eight brothers and sisters in his family, and he got married and had two sons and one daughter.

Lin Heng counted the detailed data of these eight people again, then looked at them and said, "Does anyone need to go back and prepare?"

No one raised their hand at the scene, as everyone wanted to go and take a look at the work first.

"Okay, come with me." Lin Heng nodded and took them out. He could carry three more people on his sidecar, and he rented a motorcycle for two more people.

Soon everyone arrived at the place and came to the door of Hengxiu Feed Factory.

After the five people got off the car, Zhang Lei, who had only finished junior high school, asked, "Leader, is this a newly opened factory?"

Lin Heng nodded and said, "Yes, it's newly built. They are debugging the machines. You can go in and take a look. The factory mainly produces feed. If you do well, you will all be the veterans of this factory and have great opportunities for promotion in the future."

He is not just making empty promises, he is serious. If you can really get promoted if you do a good job, hard-working people should get the corresponding rewards.

“New factory!”

After hearing this, everyone was so happy that they couldn't express it in words. They didn't expect that they had picked up such a big bargain. There was no doubt that the chances of promotion in the new factory were great, and they became very motivated at once.

Lin Heng led everyone in with a smile. The machines were being installed inside and there was a shortage of manpower. These people came in and took the initiative to help, wanting to show off themselves.

Lin Heng was not polite and asked them to get familiar with the environment here first, which was considered half a day's salary for today.

He chatted with technician Li Yue for a few words, then went back to the office building with his elder brother. They sat down and drank a cup of tea. Lin Yue said, "Brother, you will need many days. How about I go back and tell my family today and come back in two days?"

"Brother, you stay here and watch. I'm going to go back. I'm going to drive the truck down and buy raw materials these days." Lin Heng said.

"That's fine." Lin Yue nodded, and then asked Lin Heng about some precautions.

After Lin Heng gave him instructions, he drove his sidecar home.

When he got home, it was already past four in the afternoon. The children, who hadn't seen him all day, surrounded him.

He spent some time with the children and then went into the house.

"You came back temporarily, so the work may not be finished so quickly." Xiulan said as she handed him an apple.

"Yes, I'll be up early tomorrow morning and driving the truck to the city. It'll be a busy day for a while this time."

Lin Heng nodded and said, "Is that so." Xiulan nodded, her tone somewhat sad.

Lin Heng asked with a smile: "Do you want to bring the child with me?"

Xiulan shook her head: "No, I'll wait for you at home."

"Okay then." Lin Heng nodded, sat down and drank a sip of tea, then went next door to tell his sister-in-law so that she wouldn't worry.

After leaving his eldest brother's house, he went to Hongfeng Mountain again. Father and Mother Lin were digging astragalus with a few people. There were ten acres of astragalus at home, and they had only dug three acres so far, so there was still work to do.

Lin Heng told his parents that he would be staying in the city for a few days, and then went back home. He was a little tired and didn't want to help much.

"Son, what should we do with the apples? If we don't sell them, they will rot." Father Lin looked at his son and asked.

"That thing won't rot in a short time, so I'll have time to sell it when I come back." Lin Heng said.

"Okay." Father Lin nodded after hearing this.

After returning home, Lin Heng made a small hot pot for dinner in the evening. He used an electric stove to cook some dishes he wanted to eat, and had a few drinks with Xiulan.

I don’t know why, but he always can’t get motivated to work in the city. He still prefers the mountains and fields.

But even if you are reborn, there are still some things you have to do.

In the evening, Lin Heng finished telling the children the story of Journey to the West, then silently hugged Xiulan, feeling the peace and warmth she brought him, and gradually fell asleep.

The next morning, he got up very early, made breakfast with Xiulan, and then drove the three-wheeler to Hongfeng Mountain. He then loaded the three-wheeler onto a Dongfeng truck and drove to the city.

The situation here in the city remains the same. The machines can be installed in one day today, and then they need to be debugged. Lin Heng has seen and used these old machines, and even knows where they are prone to malfunction, but he did not operate them. He let the technicians hand them over to Wang Zhou and the new employees. His eldest brother also learned some on the side.

He himself had more important things to do, which was to purchase raw materials for making feed. In addition to grains, there were also various by-products of grains such as rice bran, wheat bran, etc. In addition, bone meal and other things that provided trace elements were needed.

He first reported to the Ministry of Industry and Commerce. Now that the economy is recovering, what he is doing is very welcome. It can not only increase labor jobs, but also drive the rise of the breeding industry.

Although you cannot start a company now, there is no problem in registering under the name of an individual business owner, and there are even people who go to his factory to conduct an assessment.

It took him a few days to resolve all the issues at the Industrial and Commercial Administration and Supervision Bureau, and the registration was completed smoothly.

Then he went to buy a small amount of various raw materials. At present, during the trial operation phase, he mainly produces shrimp feed and fish feed, because these two types of feed can be used for the shrimps and fish he raises himself.

Once everything is ready, we will make other feeds when the official production starts.

When buying grain, you still have to cooperate with the grain station, and the prices are basically the same, because in those days all grain is controlled by the state.

In addition, they also need to customize their own bags. He found a small workshop to cooperate in the production. The current demand is not particularly large. When the scale is really expanded in the future, he will find a large factory to do OEM, or he can buy machines to produce them himself.

It was October 30th when all this was done, and Lin Heng paid the balance of the machine.

In the past half month, the technicians have handed over all the information about the use of the machines to them. If there is any problem, they can call later and they will receive remote guidance.

After finishing his work, Lin Heng returned to the factory. Machines were roaring in the main factory building, producing feed.

There are quite a few people here today, including Lin Yue, Lin Hai, and Caiyun who came here after school on Sunday. Lin Heng went to the main factory building to take a look. The machines are not producing very fast and are not running at full power.

Lin Yue and Lin Hai were both here. When they saw Lin Heng coming back, they hurried out. Lin Yue asked, "Brother, have you finished your work?"

"Yes, it's all done." Lin Heng nodded and pointed to the office building, "Let's go to the reception room and talk slowly."

When he entered the reception room, Caiyun was doing homework there. Seeing him come back, she shouted happily: "Second brother, you are finally back."

"Yeah, I'm back." Lin Heng nodded and walked over to pour a few cups of tea.

Lin Yue took a sip of tea and asked, "Brother, when are you going to officially open for business? Aren't you going to have an opening ceremony?"

Lin Hai also said: "Also, you only produce fish and shrimp feed now, so I won't promote it. I think pig feed is good, and every household feeds pigs."

Lin Heng took a sip of tea and looked at the two of them and said, "Although the factory has started to operate initially, there is no rush for these things at the moment. Let's take our time."

After taking a sip of water, he continued, "We will start with producing fish and shrimp feed this year. I have been selling green shrimps for the past two years and have gained some understanding of the aquatic product market in Taibai City. I plan to promote this type of feed first, and then expand production after the Chinese New Year to produce feed for chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, etc."

Now he has little money for advertising, so he can only do the legwork himself to promote his products. However, he has experience in raising shrimps, so he can convince many people to promote his products.

As for pig feed, he plans to build a large pig farm himself, produce his own feed and raise his own pigs. Pigs are easy to sell, so he will first stabilize the company's production chain and then gradually expand the scale.

He doesn't want to do any promotion this year, mainly because it is almost winter and fish and shrimp are not eating much, and it is also difficult to get feed for other livestock. He plans to wait until the beginning of next spring to promote it in the formal area.

After listening to Lin Heng's explanation of some of the problems, Lin Hai nodded and said, "That's true. Winter is not suitable for promotion."

Lin Yue looked at Lin Heng and asked, "Then let's keep running like this. If we can't sell them, won't we be losing money?"

Lin Heng nodded and said, "The factory must be open and cannot be shut down. We cannot make money for the time being. We may not make much money tomorrow or a year. But when sales pick up later, we can make money easily."

Before the product is promoted and sales increase, he is losing money and needs to keep getting money from other places to make up for it. It must be a huge investment to open a factory, even though it is still a small workshop now.

"As for the two of you, don't worry. What you need to do most this year is to learn how to drive with me, and then get a driver's license. Then it will be convenient for you to do things when the time comes."

Lin Heng looked at the two of them and said again.

"So Brother Lin, according to what you said, we don't have to worry about things here anymore?" Lin Hai looked at Lin Heng and asked.

"The main thing is to learn how to drive, everything else can be put aside." Lin Heng nodded.

After talking about things here, he went to the production plant with them. In the factory, Wang Zhou and six others were busy producing feed, producing and transporting.

Lin Heng came over and shouted: "Stop the machine first, I want to tell you something." (End of this chapter)
