My Lord, you need to stand up!

Chapter 428 Even the Foolish Old Man Couldn't Move the Mountain

Of course, I still need to talk to my parents again.

Prejudice in people's hearts is a mountain. If Wei Dong loses his hand in twenty or thirty years, his parents will definitely be overjoyed that he found a divorced young woman.

My mindset is definitely different now.

In particular, they bought half of a courtyard house in Pingjingdu, and following the old comrades that Lao Rang could still contact, they traveled a long way along the coast of Tianjin and Shandong, and slowly returned to Shangzhou by passenger ship from Nanjing.

My mindset and perspective have undergone a complete transformation.

Not to mention coming back to see my son working in two factories and a large construction site in Shangzhou, with thousands of workers doing the work and eating the food.

Perhaps the only wish in this life is to find a good daughter-in-law to carry on the family line, which would be the ultimate fulfillment.

So Wei Dong didn't intend to move mountains like the Foolish Old Man: "Alright, now that Sister Dong has returned to Jiangzhou, there will be more trouble later."

His mother was just about to start her dramatic performance of crying, making a scene, and threatening suicide.

Wei Dong has already made his move: "I currently have an average daily cash flow of four to five million yuan, including sales revenue, zoo payments, and about two to three hundred thousand yuan in gross profit from sales, which is then immediately transferred to support various construction sites. All of this scheduling and maintenance is handled by Sister Dong. Calling her a virtuous wife is no exaggeration. Now she will definitely abandon her responsibilities. With so many businesses under my belt, if the cash flow is disrupted, I will collapse within a few days and owe tens of millions of yuan in debt. At that time, you won't even want to pick a wife, let alone a sow."

The elderly couple were still frightened.

After all, the sanitary napkin factory is operating on a massive scale, and the brightly lit construction site outside is a familiar scene.

"This...you, you...she..." Old Rang, who was bad at speaking, was so anxious that he trembled.

Mom also stopped herself in her tracks: "Then, what should we do?"

Wei Dong wasn't trying to scare his parents: "You've been traveling for half a year, so now that you're back, you should help out. Dad, keep an eye on the construction site in Shangzhou, and Mom, check on the food factory. I need to hurry back to Jiangzhou to make sure nothing goes wrong."

The parents are probably still agonizing over the messy situation of being divorced, remarried, and raising a child: "Why did you have to find someone like this!"

Let Wei Dong explain without elaboration: "We've been building this empire together for the past two years. You have your opinions, and I don't blame you, but I'll definitely make my own decisions. Our family is already lucky to be where we are today, so let's not be greedy."

His mother continued to argue: "How can this be called being greedy? We're doing this for your own good..."

Instead, Lao Rang stopped him, saying, "Then you deal with it first. I've worked on construction sites for many years, so I'll follow along and see what's going on. You certainly have your own opinions, but you still need to think this through."

Wei Dong sighed, "I just learned this today: 'A person's greed is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant; desires are insatiable and even ghosts will be afraid.' Trying to have everything will only lead to disaster. So be it. I had a lot of things to do when I got back."

When he came out and saw Li Erfeng's concerned look, his anger subsided. He told her to take good care of the situation and to consult with Ding Haifeng and the others if anything happened, or to call Jiangzhou to find him.

They rushed over to the food factory.

This is the main task upon returning.

The construction site has already started work, so there's no need for an outsider like him to interfere. His visit is just to confirm safety details and management standards.

The key focus is on the blood product SOD separation equipment, which was assembled separately by the electromechanical and bioengineering majors of Jiangzhou University in collaboration with Shangzhou Machinery Factory. Trial production has begun on the second floor of the food factory.

After the eight-story food building was completed, it was completely covered with a glass "curtain wall" according to Rang Weidong's vision.

Indeed, the entire West Second Street exudes a unique modern atmosphere.

But more importantly, it was because Wei Dong appeared on this street that people, from citizens cooling off by the roadside to colleagues and suppliers from neighboring factories, all came to chat and try to get close to him.

"It looks good in the TV series. You couldn't tell when it was being filmed, but it really looks like that on TV!"

"I heard that this high-ranking official really did lead an uprising in Shangzhou before, and his family is quite powerful..."

"You're really a producer? What are the requirements for being a TV producer?"

"Wei Dong, what are you doing needing so much blood curd every day? They say you're refining pills?"

Wei Dong answered each question in turn: "The main thing is to extract some useful things from pig's blood. Once we figure it out, we will open a new factory in Shangzhou and hire people to work there."

This sparked a lot of enthusiasm for signing up, with many people wanting to bring all their relatives and friends to work here.

Fortunately, the security guards at the food building were veterans who strictly enforced the rules and kept all unauthorized personnel out.

This allowed Wei Dong to escape and go upstairs.

I still feel a little empty, especially since this food factory was something I started from scratch with Dong Xueying, and building this building was something she painstakingly managed to scrape together when we were short of funds.

Now that the building is repaired, a problem has arisen between the two.

It's true that nothing in this matter can be perfect.

Then I changed into a white coat and went into the workshop, immersing myself in a large number of machines before I could gradually focus my thoughts.

It only started operating in the last two days.

All aspects were restored based on the equipment and experience already in operation at universities in northern China.

But there are always things that need to be adjusted after each setback.

It took almost the whole night to produce a fist-sized bottle of prototype SOD.

They put it in a sealed glass bottle from the lab; it's like those fluffy granules from laundry detergent. The actual testing equipment is only available in Jiangzhou.

Wei Dong instructed the entire production line to keep running and maintain production efficiency during debugging, and to wait until he took the test results back before starting specific product development and production.

Finally, there were results, which allowed Weidong to take to the morning meeting at the Beijiaochang Industrial Park.

Despite only taking a nap in the middle of the night, Wei Dong still had plenty of energy. He showed the MSG-like bottle to the group and said, “The real estate industry will definitely continue to expand and promote in this way. After completing the second phase of the project, we will start the third phase. I was originally going to stay in Shangzhou for a while, but as soon as the active enzyme product is ready, I will take it to Jiangzhou to test and develop new products. I hope that this time, everyone will have the opportunity to hold shares in the factory.”

Originally, Wei Dong was supposed to come to Shangzhou every one or two months to eat. Among those who formed the Beijiaochang Urban Development Company and the Industrial Development Zone, some were slacking off, some were taking it easy, and some started to calculate the gains and losses.

Just as my thoughts were beginning to stir.

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately perked up!
Some people even opened their pockets to refuse the red envelopes, saying, "How can we do this... This is our responsibility to work around Weidong!"

"Well... it's not really appropriate for us to take shares, is it? A new document has just been issued that strictly prohibits government officials from engaging in business or running enterprises."

Wei Dong said, "Then it depends on whether anyone has relatives or friends who need to join the company. Once SOD production is successful, we will expand to many product categories and sell it nationwide in large quantities, just like SOD Honey. The scale of this factory will not be smaller than that of the sanitary napkin factory, and it will also lay the groundwork for the later corn bioengineering plant. Therefore, we need to recruit people from all walks of life to ensure the efficient and successful development of production. Everyone can make preparations in advance. If necessary, it is not impossible to leave the city and go into business."

After examining the glass bottle for a while, everyone clearly regained their focus.

To prevent Wei Dong from being extravagant, the sanitary napkin factory is currently using the area of ​​the bankrupt hemp textile factory for production. The new factory building under construction near the riverside building will be used for this small-scale SOD product factory. When the corn bio-factory starts laying the foundation, it may become a super-large-scale factory with a factory area of ​​100,000 square meters.

In the future, the entire Beijiaochang New Area may have to rely on this giant integrated factory for its livelihood.

It was as if the carrot was being displayed in front of everyone before Ding Haifeng drove him to the dock, during which he reminded him to be wary of the possibility of embezzlement and illegal activities.

Previously, it was a government department with little resources, relying entirely on sanitary napkin factories and the free market to support the meager operating expenses of the industrial park.

Now, starting with the second phase of the project, the company suddenly has over 20 million yuan in funds. If it weren't for the old leaders in charge, people in the city would probably be envious and want a share of the pie.

After all, there are many departments facing financial difficulties these days.

But even if all the money is put into the accounts of the Beijiaochang Industrial Park, how can it be used for the park's supporting construction and how can it provide a modern urban scale for residential communities?

There's a lot of shady stuff going on.

Wei Dong prevented this by strictly controlling the construction company of the Third Battalion Commander, but on the other hand, he also controlled the funds from the beginning to the end. In those days, there was certainly no public bidding process.

It's entirely up to Wei Dong to decide.

So if someone insists on finding fault, you must be able to prove yourself.

Ding Haifeng, who was still working in the police system, nodded silently until they reached the dock, where he handed an envelope to Rang Weidong.

It was a stack of ID cards.

The nationwide push to promote ID card issuance has finally reached Shangzhou.

Moreover, they started directly from the newly constructed Beijiaochang Industrial Park. So, Ding Haifeng went along with processing the two houses that Wei Dong had purchased, and registered his, Shen Cuiyue's, Mao'er's, and Shi Tou's household registrations in the Beijiaochang Industrial Park.

In the large-scale migration of rural residents to urban residents, the lack of a computerized network for identity and household registration makes it too easy for a few people to be mixed up.

Especially considering that she is such an innocent-looking girl and her two younger brothers who are around ten years old.

On the contrary, the ID cards of Dong Xueying and Dong Xiaodie, which were delivered at the same time, are still registered in the old street household registration.

Of course, Dong Xueqing already had a Jiangzhou household registration.

Wei Dong was shown these familiar yet unfamiliar cards. He patted Ding Haifeng on the shoulder to thank him and boarded the ship.

It seems that he exhausted himself in Shangzhou so that he could fall asleep as soon as he got on the ship and not have to think about anything else.

But by the early hours of the next day, before dawn, I couldn't fall asleep anymore.

Wei Dong had no choice but to go up to the deck and try practicing Tai Chi, braving the howling river wind.

Only by immersing oneself in it can one avoid thinking about the various possibilities that are about to come.

Upon arriving in Jiangzhou, I wasn't even notified in advance that a vehicle would be arranged to pick me up; it was just a two- or three-stop bus ride.

As soon as he stepped into the lobby of the "White Building," he felt all eyes were fixed on him, and all around him were people bowing and scraping respectfully.

Finally, someone informed us that the boss had returned.

As soon as Rang Weidong stepped out of the elevator, Dong Xueqing and a large group of people stood at the door to greet him. His sister-in-law, who had changed into a suit and skirt, still maintained a composed expression: "While Manager Dong is away on business, I will temporarily take over the management of financial work and daily affairs. I will now give you a detailed introduction."

They even made a gesture inviting us to come this way.

Wei Dong waved to the stares that filled the entire venue.

I followed my sister-in-law into the largest office.

But as soon as the door closed, Fengchu burst into tears and threw herself into her brother-in-law's arms, crying, "Sister is gone!"

Wei Dong still felt a jolt in his heart!
