My Lord, you need to stand up!

Chapter 322 The Capitalists Have No Good Intentions
No one could have imagined that Wei Dong would profit from contracting the zoo.

Of course, it's not that each shoot is worth tens of thousands of yuan now.

But this means having a large group of "animal actors" filming without any restrictions.

Qin Yuye clapped and said that they should hire animal actors to advertise the colorful jeans and denim jackets as soon as possible, and even imitated a monkey dressing up in the car.

The whole car was shaking with laughter, so Wei Dong didn't dare to look back, fearing a car accident.

That would truly be a case of beauty causing trouble.

But the zoo was basically brought under control that day.

Fifteen young men and five young women, selected from the new sales staff at the Xishan factory, along with seven former employees from the moving company, were selected as the first batch of staff to be stationed at the zoo. They rented a few rooms in the residential area outside the middle gate on the side of the zoo to live temporarily. They went to work in the park every day to familiarize themselves with all their positions.

Including the construction team and surveying team remaining in the park, every corner and every aspect needs to be thoroughly investigated.

The data Dong Xueqing has received so far is: "There are a total of ten departments: Administrative Office, Animal Management Department, Animal Exchange Department, Infrastructure and General Affairs Department, Greening Department, Finance Department, Security Department, Political Work Department, Comprehensive Support Department, Wildlife Rescue and Veterinary Department, and I'll add an Amusement Department first, hahaha!"

She was so happy that even Shi Tou, hiding in the passenger seat, thought she must have lost her mind.

Qin Yuye was eager to take over her business: "How about I help you when I have time? I've participated in animal protection organizations in Africa and Southeast Asia and learned some basic knowledge. The animal exchange department should be responsible for this!"

Fengchu generously agreed: "Great! I heard that animal trade is also a very important source of breeds. Many of the animals here were obtained through trade. There are currently more than 240 species and over 4,000 animals, and the annual food cost is over 800,000..."

The whole bus gasped. These guys can really eat!
More than four thousand people probably couldn't eat this much.

This was in 1985, when the average salary was only 40 or 50 yuan, and people still had to raise children.

It adds up to more than ten yuan per month when spread out.

Even Wei Dong was puzzled: "Among more than four thousand animals, most of them probably... don't eat that much, right?"

Dong Xueqing also admitted: "Yes, a considerable proportion are small animals such as birds, monkeys, and badgers. Lions and tigers are particularly voracious eaters. Yes, there are also hippos and elephants!"

Wei Dong could only shake his head: "This thing... Hmm, I should go to Japan next month to inspect mechanical and electronic equipment, and while I'm at it, I should also check out how Japanese zoos are run. They must be very advanced."

Just as Qin Yuye was about to speak, Shen Cuiyue silently pressed her down, signaling the garden owner behind her to gently shake his head.

This person understood immediately and chuckled to himself.

Then, in a serious tone, he said, "I'll buy another car, or could you ship my car from Hong Kong?"

Wei Dong pondered for a moment and said, "It might be difficult to get it in. I'll go to the car factory to discuss some business these next few days and see if we can get it done through the back door."

The Hong Kong girl and the gangster girl both had different sly smiles on their faces, clearly indicating that they thought the conversation was going too far.

It was truly joyful; we were so happy we forgot about Hong Kong.

After sending these people back to Gangnam District and then picking up Dong Xueying from get off work in the city center, I really felt I needed to buy two more cars. After all, Boss Qin was a Hong Kong businessman who owned a denim clothing factory.

Today, not only were overalls provided to the construction workers, but the zoo also promised to provide new work clothes to all its employees. The factory is also preparing new uniforms for all construction company employees.

They still made many contributions.

At this moment, Fengchu, who had caught his breath while lying in the back, got up and moved with difficulty to the back of the driver's seat: "Brother-in-law, I am very happy today. Can you let me stay by your side and do things for you? I have seen so many completely different lives because of you. Please don't send me away anymore."

The sincerity of their feelings softened Wei Dong's heart. He hadn't been so accommodating towards Li Erfeng, Shi Linyan, Zhang Lanzhi, or even Shen Laosan and Qin Yuye.

They're our own children, what else can we do?

"Then let's buy a bigger house. If we don't have one, we'll build one ourselves. A bigger one, with rooms spaced further apart!" After meeting up with Dong Xueying, Wei Dong was asked to come up with his solution.

Dong Xueying was both amused and exasperated. "What are you thinking about all day long?"
But at least I feel that going to work at the zoo alone every day and interacting with others is a good thing.

I agree to let the Hong Kong businessman buy a car, but not other cars.

She forbade her younger sister from learning to drive, saying it was unsafe for a girl to drive.

The purpose of forced marriages to create opportunities is very clear.

Wei Dong didn't care about this or that, he was busy during the day and chiseling at night, living a really exciting life.

In just a few days, they got various things moving forward, including factory construction, zoo opening, and new factory building commencement. They also sent a team of about ten junior salespeople to each branch office in various regions, and assigned two agile veterans to each location to serve as sales staff and part-time security guards.

Just then, Chi Shih-ming flew back from Hong Kong and handed over all the real estate matters related to the zoo to him.

I took the opportunity of attending a meeting at the Sales Association of the United Front Work Department of Jiangzhou City to exchange ideas with the part-time secretary appointed by the city about how many college students who go out to open up sales markets in various provinces across the country have established contact with local officials. I also took the opportunity to get the contact information of the company that makes imitation Suzuki vans in Jiangzhou. I made a phone call and then went to their store.

With introductions from the city government and connections to Xishan Factory, which was also under the Fifth Ministry of Machinery Industry, Jiang'an Automobile Factory received them quite warmly.

First, a lot of people came out and gathered around his "modified" factory-assembled four-wheel drive van.

I asked him carefully about his feelings about driving the 318 highway for several thousand kilometers.

He even took Wei Dong to visit the assembly workshop.

When I went in, holy crap...

Purely handmade workshop!
The factory was even more dilapidated than the Xishan factory, resembling a smelting workshop like the Hongguang factory, filthy with coal dust everywhere, and broken bricks and windows on the walls. And yet, the workers, in this environment, used original imported parts to load trucks…

There's no question of assembly line operations, let alone automated production lines.

All Wei Dong could say was that his repair workshop, which consisted of repairmen from five fleets of Xishan Factory, plus repairmen from the transportation company, and now had an engineering corps auto repair company with more than 80 people, was probably better than yours in terms of skill and quality!
Because he had at least seen the auto repair shops and 4S stores, he preferred watching those popular videos of new energy vehicle production lines and high-end car refurbishment and maintenance.

It goes especially well with rice.

Therefore, from the very beginning, the entire repair workshop was required to be bright, clean, and spotless, in order to be worthy of the bright and beautiful sanitary napkin factory, and worthy of the reform and opening-up study groups from all over the country that Director Tang brought to visit almost every day.

I had some reservations about the cars produced here. If I actually saw the production quality, I wondered if I would still dare to drive them on the 318 highway.

They still expressed their intention to provide spare parts.

failure.

The reason is simple: they dare not use plastic parts made of bakelite.

It shatters at the slightest impact, offering no elasticity or cushioning whatsoever. Consumers are bound to be furious.

Moreover, large items like bumpers are more prone to breakage, making replacement and repair too costly.

Of course, Wei Dong did manage to get some work for the denim factory. He gave them a bag of jeans he brought, mentioning that his construction company used these jeans for work clothes, and asked if they wanted a set for the car factory, saying the factory price was around ten yuan, comparable to workwear.

After seeing the photos that Wei Dong was carrying, the senior colleague from the Fifth Ministry of Machinery Industry still supported the work and ordered a thousand sets.

But if Wei Dong wanted to take advantage of the situation and buy a car on the spot, there really wasn't one available!
Even the hand-made vans sold out instantly after they came off the production line last November when they were officially launched.

All public security, procuratorial, judicial, postal, and other departments must do everything possible to obtain the goods.

Six months ago, when it was not listed and had no reputation, Weidong was able to pick up a bargain, but that's no longer the case.

This left Wei Dong with no choice but to try and find those hand-made minibus manufacturers to help the Hong Kong businessman build another one.
In fact, he probably knew that he could buy ZS cars from the coast, and even assemble them himself with a full set of imported parts. His subordinates were fully capable of doing so.

But he never gets involved in anything illegal.

This made Qin Yuye purse her lips and subtly inquire whether Wei Dong would be going to Japan for an inspection in early April, and whether the city was processing his visa.

I'm planning to go back to Hong Kong ahead of schedule.

At this time, the first batch of transport convoys that had gone to eastern Guangdong and then returned after the holiday finally came back.

They brought eight imported vehicles equipped by Hong Kong businessmen!

They claimed that they owned six Hong Kong-funded factories, plus Wei Dong's sanitary napkin factory and Qin Yuye's denim clothing factory, totaling eight factories, each with one vehicle.

It's also a way to wish for good fortune, like "get rich, get rich, get rich".

The factory now has four or five thousand workers, and with the addition of construction teams, repair shops, and engineering corps, nearly a thousand more have arrived this month.

They all carried the same amazed and awe-inspiring feeling that people in later generations would have when watching a car show.

The white Toyota Corolla is not considered a luxury car, but it is the world's best-selling sedan, and one of its variants is the AE86.

The black BMW E28, the second-generation 5 Series, is perfect for factory owners.
The Mercedes-Benz W124 with its gold-grey body and black lower waistline was one of the cars whose arrival in port had delayed several other vehicles. It was the latest E-Class executive luxury model.
The light blue Volvo 760 is a prime example of Scandinavian luxury cars. I especially love this car because "Hong Kong" is translated as "rich man".

The silver-gray Toyota Land Cruiser later became the famous Land Cruiser, the off-road king of ruggedness and durability.
The third-generation Nissan Patrol, with its red body and silver trim, is said to be the main model used by the United Nations to navigate the world's most challenging terrains.

The light blue Land Rover Defender is the spiritual home of Hong Kong people, even though it looks like a construction vehicle.

Finally, there was a dark green Mitsubishi Pajero.

After the Spring Festival, the Hong Kong representative who flew back with Chi Shiming proudly introduced to the boss that the company had arranged for the vehicles through its branch in Guangdong, and the vehicles were only shipped to Jiangzhou after the Lantern Festival, which fully expressed Lao Heng's expectations for you.

Unexpectedly, Wei Dong just looked around and gestured to Boss Qin, "Don't you need a car? Pick one yourself."

The corona is for your Hong Kong representative's office; I'll provide you with a driver.

All the rest that aren't used can be parked in the garage... Let's show them to visiting groups from all over the country, to demonstrate the strength of our Hong Kong businesses' investments.

Then he continued to work in that four-wheel drive minivan.

Qin Yuye was a little confused: "Why don't you drive those fancy cars?"

Wei Dong calmly retorted, "I don't need these external things to show off my status. They're just for transportation, so it's better to keep things simple."

The Hong Kong girl believed it and chose the most inconspicuous Land Rover Defender to drive. She had previously driven a manual Jeep in Hong Kong and was very familiar with this car.

Wei Dong could only admit to Shen Cuiyue: "Damn, there aren't any cars this nice in the city. How could I dare to drive this thing around so ostentatiously? People who know me would think it was a gift from a Hong Kong businessman, but those who don't would think I made a fortune selling sanitary napkins. Keep an eye on those cars. Unless a Hong Kong businessman comes, they are absolutely not allowed on the road!"

Shen Laosan immediately understood: "It's just clever talk, he just wants to drag you down with him."

The principle is the same.
