My Lord, you need to stand up!

Chapter 665 If the direction is right, you've won most of the battle.
Lin Wangfu was indeed very interested in the atmosphere of the factory area.

Six high-rise residential buildings have been completed and delivered, while seven, eight, and nine are under construction. In addition, a row of four temporary residential buildings, an auto repair shop, and a stepped factory building surround most of the plot of land.

The remaining area consists of temporary prefabricated houses for the infrastructure team that are still in use.

The open space in the middle was temporarily paved and turned into an open-air cinema. The final decoration and renovation of the entire factory area will only be carried out after the prefabricated houses are demolished and the huge six-story factory building is completed.

You can see the haste caused by rushing to meet the deadline, but everyone also lives in peace and comfort within it.

It's basically a carbon copy of the old Pengzhen Wharf Industrial Zone, but it lacks this atmosphere.

Having read several books, Po-zai described it as the utopia he imagined.

Wei Dong was a little surprised. What kind of utopia was this? He knew the word. Wasn't this just the atmosphere of a standard state-owned factory or a third-tier factory?

"This seemingly warm and comfortable work-life situation actually hides a system of equal distribution of labor, a lack of ambition, and a gradual decline in skills. Once people become comfortable and complacent, they will slowly get used to the simple work in front of them and lose the determination to work alone!"

Po-zai was surprised: "You see things so clearly?"

Wei Dong was used to it: "Otherwise, why do you think everyone on this land is shouting about reform and opening up? We've tried this path, and if it doesn't work, we'll change direction. But right now, there's always a gradual adaptation process."

Lin Wangfu's thinking was different: "That is, as a leader, you have the obligation to lead and care for so many followers."

Wei Dong almost covered his mouth: "Don't use such words, this is just a small factory area."

The young man from Singapore scoffed, "Singapore is still so young, it's not even..."

Wei Dong simply stuffed a chicken leg into his mouth, telling him that people from small towns talk nonsense.

Fortunately, Wu Shengyun and He Yuzhu didn't spout nonsense when they arrived.

Only then did the shipping company's boss have a chance to report to his elder brother: "Mr. Fang conveyed your strategic thinking, and I think that's where your genius and uniqueness lie..."

He Yuzhu and Lin Wangfu quickly focused on observing his flattering words, wondering if this was the company culture.

Even Wei Dong couldn't stand this guy anymore: "Speak properly!"

Wu Shengyun still felt wronged: "It was originally... Our acquisition of barges was indeed an accident, and the subsequent expansion into transportation was only to serve our own business. Now you have expanded to the entire waterway shipping, which is something that state-owned enterprises can do well!"

Even if we put it forty years from now, and Wei Dong has never heard of this, it's still uncertain whether it will work.

"Shanghai Port Machinery will assist in repairing and clearing out the crane ships, and gradually equip them from the branches and sales companies in Jiangzhou, Shangzhou, and Shanghai Port Machinery. I heard that they have already contacted more than 40 crane ships, which must all belong to shipping companies. But how to hand them over to various places and get them up and running without any accidents is something you need to work hard on."

Wu Shengyun had already gathered a pile of things and immediately presented his explanation.

Lin Wangfu also seized the opportunity to impart his knowledge to He Yuzhu: "You should notice that Pete and his team have a bold and meticulous work style. They are very daring when setting directions and pulling out strategies, but they are also very meticulous in their specific operations. Computer sales work requires not only paying attention to international technological trends, but also caring about the users' thoughts. I have been in the computer business in Singapore for several years, and Pete is the person who has amazed me the most!"

Wei Dong listened: "I'm not that glamorous. Remember this: we just happen to be standing at the forefront of the times. It's not that we're so great, and neither are you. While you're here, could you go to Kuizhou for me and sort out that tourism branch and such? It's not appropriate for me to go directly there."

Lin Wangfu clapped, while He Yuzhu seemed to be deep in thought.

To explain the document, Wu Shengyun bent over and knelt beside his boss, his voice filled with a chorus of "yes, yes, yes" as if he were about to kowtow.

At this moment, he was pushed aside from behind. Xiao Die, with a stubborn expression and a brand-new schoolbag on her back, was hugged by Shen Cuiyue. She pushed people away and rushed into her father's arms, silently shedding tears.

Maybe it was Shen Laosan who instigated it. The way he's staring at that pretty boy is practically screaming, "Stay away from my man!"

Wu Shengyun respectfully greeted Sister Shen and then gave a brief report on this part of the work. Theoretically, he was still under Shen Cuiyue's management.

Lin Wangfu had seen Xiaodie before, and immediately glanced at the young woman holding the baby.

However, Wei Dong felt a little embarrassed, so he looked down and teased the child: "Hey, I didn't see you carrying a schoolbag when we went to Singapore and Malaysia last time. Have you started kindergarten?"

That's pretty good workplace emotional intelligence.

Xiaodie ignored her.

Now Wei Dong had to discipline him. He picked him up and made him stand on his lap: "Now that you're in kindergarten, you have to answer Uncle's questions..."

The little guy is still stubbornly insistent, "Damn it!" If you ask him again, he'll just yell "Damn it!"
Wei Dong has seen countless spoiled and misled children. One child hadn't attended kindergarten and had mental health issues, so he kept him close and cared for him. After more than half a year, he felt the child was doing better, so he tried to enter the child's environment to influence their growth, as suggested by the Hong Kong experts.

As long as it makes a sound, that's fine.

So she gently wiped away her tears, criticizing him for not responding unless he called her uncle, and told him to just stand there. But the little girl, who was just as stubborn as her mother, stood there sulking, listening to her father continue talking to the uncles.

Shen Cuiyue's style was somewhat similar to Qin Yuye's. She acted like the hostess, ordering people to change a few dishes, and then quietly took Ram to another table to get along well with Dong Xueqing.

So when Wei Dong received Gao Yuan's call, he held up the black pearl and, under the spotlight, responded to Yu Songhai: "Come on, I happen to be in Jiangzhou and I'm hoping he can help bring in two or three hotels. I told you this hotel would definitely be very profitable for you, right? He's willing to fully invest in its construction? Hahaha, this is also a way to squeeze money out of American imperialism, but we still need to be careful that they might use this as a base to do bad things. Don't underestimate this trick, especially in your area..."

Chi Shiming brought twenty sets from Hong Kong and cleared customs normally. At that time, there were no restrictions on these high-power cordless phones, so they were allowed to enter the country as ordinary telephones.

Each set is a 1-to-4 or 1-to-8 system, which is much more powerful than the typical household cordless systems.

They were directly distributed to construction sites across the country for use as trunking telephone and walkie-talkie systems.

For construction sites, they are simply production tools.

The factory also kept a set; apart from a few bosses' homes, one of them was always carried by Shen Cuiyue, perfectly matching her domineering nature of wandering around all day.

The entire factory admired this high-tech product more than Supervisor Shen's overwhelming power.

Yu Songhai was also blinded by the US dollar, and Mr. Awald proposed to invest 200 million US dollars in the construction of a scenic hotel on the plateau over the next ten years.

Wei Dong could tell that it was similar to the trick in Shanghai. The two hundred million sounded frightening, but even with the current exchange rate, it was more than one billion RMB.

The risk of the injection is not significant, and losses can be stopped at any time. It can even be seen as a carrot dangling in front to ensure the safety of the industry.

Moreover, by bearing almost all the construction costs, yet complying with policy requirements of not holding a controlling stake, the hotel tycoon is clearly focused on future prospects.

First, spend money to build an unassuming luxury hotel by the sacred lake that Dawa mentioned, and then promote it to become a world-class benchmark for top hotels.

Combined with the dreamlike scenery, it will definitely become a must-visit destination for the world's wealthy.

In particular, when Mr. Awald led his team to the plateau, two-thirds of his entourage succumbed to altitude sickness, while the hotel tycoon remained unaffected.

He felt like he was chosen by heaven, and he loved the scenery so much that he immediately contacted top landscape photographers to come and take pictures.

Previously, the number of domestic tourists visiting the plateau each year was almost zero, excluding pilgrims from surrounding provinces.

The number of foreign tourists was strictly controlled until recent years when it was relaxed somewhat.

Upon hearing what Rang Weidong said, Yu Songhai gasped a few times in alarm.

Wei Dong quickly reassured her: "How can there be no risks in doing things? I think it's better to have a hotel with such a view. It's easier to manage because it's far from the city. You need a car to accompany you wherever you go. The key point is that the hotel uses all my people. We can replace some of the people from the plateau to work at this hotel. This is an internal transfer within our hotel management company. The purpose is to isolate these negative possibilities."

Yu Songhai said helplessly, "It's because of such a large investment that many comrades are saying that imperialism is being overly solicitous for no reason, and there must be a conspiracy involved!"

Even Wei Dong had to correct him: "No, no, no, tourists come for the unparalleled beauty of the plateau. The scenery is the plateau's greatest treasure. Protect the environment and the scenery, and sell it to foreign tourists at high prices. This is the most environmentally friendly way to make money on the plateau. At least before the domestic tourist market is established, this is the most profitable way on the plateau... I have thought about it repeatedly."

Yu Songhai was still a little moved: "Xiao Dong, I know that your support for me is not for any personal gain. It comes from the bottom of our hearts. Only by vigorously developing the economy can we ensure people's well-being and happiness!"

Wei Dong understood that his older brother was probably having a hard time, and he had to try his best to encourage himself with these words.

Speak softly: "Don't rush, don't rush. Many of us are working hard. You taught me. Are we just going to hide in Shangzhou, making a little money and living our meager lives? If you have the ability, you should take on the responsibility. This hotel group is interesting. They operate in everything from budget hotels costing 20-30 yuan, business hotels costing 40-50 yuan, mid-range hotels costing around 100 yuan, to luxury hotels costing hundreds or thousands. The most important thing is to learn their business model. Once you master it, you can apply it to create jobs for thousands of people. That's how business works—everyone gets what they need and makes their own money. It's fair cooperation. I don't think they would resort to any underhanded tactics. The more established a large group or brand is, the more commercialized they become in this regard. But you need to cultivate a sense of vigilance from the beginning, preventing others from using you for bad deeds. Don't be foolish enough to be sold out and still help count the money, like the time you sold me out..."

Yu Songhai laughed heartily and happily hung up the phone.

Wei Dong felt sorry for his older brother, thinking that even his wife couldn't say such things, while he was at least better off.

After hanging up the phone, I realized that all three of them were listening intently, but Wu Shengyun was probably wishing he could hold up a Little Red Book to take notes, while Lin Wangfu was slowly thinking and chewing his food with his head down.

Only He Yuzhu completely lost control of his facial expressions, as if every word he had just spoken was a golden decree.

He clearly understood everything, and the wildfire in his eyes turned into fervor.

Before Wei Dong could speak, Xiao Die suddenly whispered, "Uncle... hello."

Leaning on her father's shoulder, she finally spoke.

Wei Dong was so happy that he wanted to order more dishes for everyone. He was even happier about raising his children than running a hotel.
