My Lord, you need to stand up!

Chapter 681 It's just one more pair of chopsticks.

Wei Dong's way of thinking is actually very simple.

Lao Tzu used basketball to expand his sales market, and he can start a new business by doing the same.

Of course, his thinking was simple at that time.

After all, his understanding of Hong Kong society was still limited to the stereotypes formed by Hong Kong movies and those messy short videos.

It's like the old saying, "Ignorance is bliss."

After struggling in Hong Kong for several years, Lao Fang looked at him for a while, then simply turned and left: "If you come here, I'll go home for the holidays. I haven't been back to my hometown for six years since I started this job. Give me your car, I'll be more comfortable. I'm so tired of running between the two places every few days!"

When Wei Dong saw the Mitsubishi SUV with both Guangdong and Hong Kong license plates at the entrance, he vaguely knew that the old man was making it easier for him to cross the border.

But he certainly wouldn't use it to take his son to do chores.

On the contrary, everyone who stayed in the building was given a red envelope to thank them for their hard work. Those who did not have particularly important work could hand over their duties and go on holiday for the Spring Festival.

He's here to lead the team on duty.

Especially for some of the directly affiliated agencies, whose families are all in Beijing, they don't need to be on standby during the Spring Festival.

Another group left immediately, and they were all incredibly friendly.

They all handed over their respective tasks without leaving anything out.

One of the vice presidents of the container company even handed over all the company documents and files to the major shareholder for review.

It wasn't like this last time.

So Wei Dong, carrying a thick stack of documents, went to the five-star hotel next door to check on the Spring Festival accommodation situation, and then packed a few dishes before driving back to the factory area with Mao'er for dinner.

Thousands of people could see the leaders with their families, squatting and eating at the makeshift tables made of bamboo strips.

Anyway, once the hotel's takeout containers are empty, it's impossible to tell what kind of delicacies they contain.

Shen Cuiyue's evaluation was quite good, Dong Xueqing had already been eating with great relish, and Xiao Die could now also grunt and exclaim "Wow!" She even tiptoed to pick some for her father, making Wei Dong beam with joy.

This is a row of temporary dormitory buildings attached to the factory.

Previously, two units of three-bedroom dormitory buildings were allocated from the dock industrial zone and were all given to the management of the infrastructure team.

As a result, when the overseas factory came and started assembling the equipment, the commander of the Jiangxi West Infrastructure Construction Team immediately vacated all his accommodations for the scientific research experts.

Everyone knows that the thing that the boss brought back is extremely valuable, and so many technical personnel have to change their identities to get in, so we absolutely cannot let them suffer.

So a few temporary dormitory buildings were built against the inside of the factory, and they had to be demolished after the work area was completed.

This family also moved in without any hesitation, and it was the woman with the child who stayed in that room.

Wei Dong brought his two younger brothers and squeezed into the technicians' room with He Yuzhu and others who didn't bring their families.

It's not that we can't afford luxury hotels, it's just that there's no other option in this area besides that one.

Wei Dong simply took the lead and fought alongside them.

The fighting power it unleashed was almost like nuclear fusion; the engineering teams, who didn't take a holiday during the Spring Festival, accelerated their work at an alarming pace!
It was obvious that Rang, who was of a higher rank than Commander Geng, brought his whole family to the construction site to eat and stay during the Spring Festival.

What else is there to say?

They might have had some complaints before, but they simply couldn't bring themselves to say them.

Anyway, the basketball court is always packed with people around dinner time in the afternoon.

Wei Dong was also allowed to use the basketball court as his office, openly discussing the next steps in the construction of this factory area and the residential buildings next door. Anyone with new ideas or good suggestions could talk to him, but they had to be substantial, feasible, and reliable.

"The newly built factory over there is a wafer fab, and the packaging plant will be added after the Spring Festival. At the same time, the sound card electronics factory will also be completed. Then the new factory area will be the clothing factory, cosmetics factory, and sanitary napkin factory that were originally planned. However, the equipment in the cosmetics factory and sanitary napkin factory has been idle for three or four months and will be scrapped if it is left idle any longer."

It was only after he finalized the agreement with Lao Fang to develop the industrial park that the construction of the new factory began at lightning speed.

The factory buildings were already in shape, the equipment had been moved over, and they had even started recruiting workers when they unexpectedly managed to acquire a wafer fab in Southeast Asia.

So the focus shifted there without hesitation.

After he left, that part of the equipment was idle.

The people playing basketball here include not only strong young men from the infrastructure construction unit, but also college students who have already participated in various parts of the project.

Even He Yuzhu, who is clearly not good at sports, squeezed to the side trying to participate as much as possible.

Everyone who heard the sound was racking their brains.

Wei Dong then gave another order to the infrastructure team: "Build two more eight- to ten-story dormitory buildings as soon as possible. During this phase, they will be used to house the technical and management personnel of various departments. Once the residential area is completed, they will be vacated and converted into budget hotels."

The construction supervisor and technical draftsmen all left in a flurry to work on plans and prepare for construction. After Wei Dong took over and worked around the block again, a geological exploration technician reported: "West of our factory area, near the dock, there's a factory area that doesn't seem very busy. Could we try to negotiate with them to borrow some factory buildings?"

This is how Wei Dong selects personnel, ensuring that insightful individuals on the front lines always have the opportunity to keep up with him.

Immediately in front of many people, he rewarded those who had contributed: "Good, come with me to the development zone tomorrow morning to learn about the situation. If this project is successful, you will be in charge of leading it."

Why aren't the men below charging in frantically?

Before Wei Dong arrived, gambling had already begun on the construction site, and the college students were restless and looking for opportunities in Shenzhen. The gambling was quickly wiped out.

Familiarity with this area, and understanding of every plant and tree on this land, can potentially translate into improved performance and a change in destiny.

In fact, once Wei Dong returned to the dormitory area that night, took a shower, and looked through those documents, he already had a vague idea of ​​what was going on.

Before Lao Fang brought Wei Dong here, the area only had a few thousand tons of loading and unloading capacity throughout the year, and only a few factories were barely operating.

Old Fang was an outstanding strategic commander. He saw what reform and opening up should do, but when it came to how to set up factories and docks, that was not his forte.

The only talent he could discover was selected from the personnel of various directly subordinate agencies assigned by higher authorities.

It's far less convenient and efficient for Wei Dong, a private entrepreneur, to use his skills.

That factory area seems to be a container factory, a container manufacturing plant with little business.

I'm still a major shareholder.

Sure enough, the next morning, Wei Dong went to the construction site entrance to buy breakfast and bring it to Ram to take care of his older sister's children's meals. He then took Mao'er and the exploration technician to the development zone office building.

The staff on duty were able to skillfully confirm the general's guesses from the map.

What else is there to say? Just lead the team over, occupy the empty factory, sign a lease agreement, and have the technician immediately arrange vehicles and manpower to transport the equipment for installation and debugging. After the Spring Festival, no, starting now, we will begin recruiting workers to prepare for the start of operations.

The staff on duty in the development zone could only stare in disbelief as the once deserted container factory suddenly became bustling and busy.

Whether it's sanitary napkins or cosmetics, bring them over first. Use the two factory buildings first, and you can also build sheds in the open space between them. We'll figure out where the workers will live later. Everything is about getting the machines running so that there will be output.

Wei Dong then returned to his office to continue reviewing the documents, especially those related to the container factory.

The container group company sounds huge, but its main business is container manufacturing. However, it doesn't have much work right now, and its manufacturing capacity is starting from scratch. It's not even as capable as the container factory in Yuezhou Port upstream.

However, Lao Fang's goal from the very beginning was to build this place into the largest container manufacturing enterprise in the country, specializing in manufacturing packaging boxes for the export of goods from across the country.

Just like how online shopping became popular, it couldn't do without those tiny cardboard boxes that are no bigger than the palm of your hand.

Having never been in contact with this place before, Wei Dong even guessed that this container company would undoubtedly become the world's number one in the future.

Then last year, the company was on the verge of bankruptcy and was basically broke. That's why they rushed to Jiangzhou and invested their own ten million US dollars.

But there's still no business.

From the factory manager to the sales staff, everyone was sent out to find work everywhere, while the engineers struggled to figure out the technology for manufacturing containers and had to send them to Yuezhou Port for testing because there were no shore cranes there.

The major shareholder sat in the empty office building scratching his head, at most he could only call Zhong Zhenhua under the pretext of New Year's greetings, exchange pleasantries, and inquire whether the two shore cranes could be delivered and installed around March, which could be considered as a small help to the container factory.

I hesitated about whether to call Mrs. Rang, but I thought I should wait a couple more days. Calling as soon as I arrived would seem like I missed her too much, and Erwa's mother would be watching. Shen Laosan would definitely tease me. Besides, the conditions here aren't good.

He skillfully slacked off until the end of the workday, then strolled over to pack up a few dishes. A five-star Hong Kong-funded hotel would definitely have plastic bags and takeout boxes.

Whistling, I went back with Mao'er. My younger brother, who had been wandering around the parking lot and outside, said that he had seen another long string of animals being caught and led away.

Why swim over there if you still have to work? Can't you stay here and work?

Let Wei Dong explain: "The wages are still higher, but more importantly, there is hope of changing one's fate. Right now, the mainland does not allow people to get rich, for fear of becoming capitalists who oppress and exploit people, and even more afraid that those who make money will seize power, which would be terrifying. So our family is just waiting out the storm at this critical juncture."

Without driving, Mao sat cross-legged in the back seat, and actually struck a wise and sage-like pose, saying: "The way of a master is to advance and retreat at will. Big Brother advanced for a few years and then retreated without hesitation. That is the most remarkable thing."

Wei Dong laughed and dismissed it all as a scam: "You should go and study under that crazy Taoist priest on the summit of Mount Kuimen."

The first time I climbed a mountain, Stone followed along; this time, I definitely won't bring the two guys along.

Mao actually agreed.

But when I returned to the factory area, it seemed to have suddenly changed. Everywhere was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations.

At that time, such complete commercial Spring Festival couplets, the character "福" (fortune), and decorations were not yet popular in mainland China.

Wei Dong almost instinctively thought, could it be...?

Sure enough, as soon as he parked the car, Qin Yuye's flamboyant figure leaned out from the second-floor railing: "Happy Chinese New Year! Give me a red envelope..."

Looking up, Wei Dong finally smiled, but still grumbled, "Damn it, they want more chopsticks and more food..."
