Chapter 229 Adding Obstacles
After the meeting ended, the senior executives of Fenghua Group all showed signs of relaxation.

The most troublesome thing in mainland China is dealing with disputes with local authorities.

Not only will it go on endlessly, but it will also most likely have no effect.

As for products being counterfeited, that's something that's hard to avoid.

Unexpectedly, the learning machine and game console, which had only been developed recently, were copied.

Fortunately, Wu Feng, as the big boss, was prepared, otherwise this would have been a huge mess.

Building a prestigious brand is difficult, but destroying it is very easy.

The group's first priority was to use television to widely publicize the existence of counterfeit products on the market and remind consumers to be careful.

Incidentally, while figuring out the Fenghua Group, they didn't publicize their anti-counterfeiting measures.

Laser anti-counterfeiting technology is quite advanced for this era.

Fortunately, the group has cooperative relationships with some digital research institutes!
Anything that mainland China's current technology can achieve, as long as you propose the idea and are willing to invest money, can eventually be accomplished. Laser anti-counterfeiting technology is no exception.

At worst, we can import the relevant precision machinery and equipment, as well as the manufacturing materials, from abroad.

Fenghua Group may have the funds to integrate high-end technologies in mainland China, but that doesn't mean other private companies have the same capability.

With the advent of laser anti-counterfeiting technology, maintaining a technological advantage for one to two years should not be a problem.

The group's senior management is well aware of these things.

My third uncle quickly returned to the sales department and didn't officially leave work until he finished his afternoon tasks.

Fenghua Group operates on an eight-hour workday, with overtime pay doubled.

Of course, employees can only work a maximum of two hours of overtime, otherwise they are prone to having difficulty concentrating.

Business units like the sales department do not encourage working overtime.

Unless there are major quality issues, there is no need to work overtime to complete simple order transactions. At this time, Fenghua Group is in a pure seller's market.

With its technological and quality advantages, it remains just as formidable not only in 1988, but even twenty years later.

As per Wu Feng's request, the sales department had already implemented internal networked office operations.

If it's an outside buyer who insists on coming after get off work, then I won't serve them.

After nearly two years of development, Fenghua Group has established various clear work processes.

As the head of the sales department, my third uncle really doesn't need to keep working after get off work.

After going downstairs, I took out my well-made and comfortable bicycle from the bike shed, got on, and headed home.

At this time, Fenghua Group occupied hundreds of acres of land, which was quite a large area.

It has office buildings, research workshops, and factories, as well as staff dormitories, canteens, and even a small hospital, nursery, and kindergarten.

In short, this place is similar to a traditional state-owned enterprise, where almost all aspects of life and work can be met.

The staff dormitory building is divided into single-person and couple-person dormitories, all built and decorated in the style of 2020, with the tallest building being eighteen stories high.

In today's era, it would definitely be considered a high-quality residential building.

Fortunately, the group implements a semi-closed management system; otherwise, the sheer number of outsiders visiting the staff dormitories each day would have been enough to cause the group's security department endless trouble.

As a senior executive of the group, the third uncle was assigned a duplex apartment in a high-rise building.

The two floors of rooms are connected together, with a living area of ​​over 300 square meters.

Six months ago, my third uncle brought his family to live in Shenzhen.

Originally, Wu Feng's plan was to bring his mother over.

Unfortunately, my third uncle went back to his hometown, but my mother was unwilling to come.

According to my third uncle, my mother was living a very comfortable life back in her hometown.

Not only does he have relatives and friends, but he also works in the labor bureau, making him a minor leader with some real power. He lives a very leisurely life.

Because Fenghua Group keeps hiring, my mother is treated like a goddess at the Labor Bureau.

Perhaps there are other factors as well, but in any case, my mother was unwilling to travel all the way to Shenzhen.

After confirming his mother's true wishes, Wu Feng did not force her to comply.

"Hey, Uncle's back!"

My third uncle had just entered the door when he heard the sound coming from the sofa in the living room.

Looking at him, his complexion seemed rather unwell.

Sitting on the living room sofa was a young man, a distant relative of his.

"Hey Xiao Hei, didn't I make this very clear to you before?"

Third Uncle walked over and said helplessly, "As long as you do your job honestly, I will arrange a position for you in a while!"

"But Uncle, I'm not convinced!"

The young man's tone was somewhat unpleasant as he angrily said, "Why is it that the guy who joined the factory at the same time as me, who has only been here for three months, can become a team leader?"

"He's a bright high school graduate, and he's also incredibly hardworking!"

Uncle San said somewhat displeasedly, "Besides, in just three months, they not only became familiar with the production process of the assembly line, but also learned basic mechanical repair skills through night school!"

"With a performance like that, what makes you think you can compare to him?"

"But you're my cousin!"

The young man also felt wronged: "How about you transfer me to the sales department, Uncle? I will definitely listen to you and do my job well. After all, we are relatives!"

"Precisely because we are relatives, we must avoid suspicion!"

Uncle San said with dissatisfaction, "You should know how many people come to work in our family, right?"

"If you really want to talk about it, you can find connections in all sorts of roundabout ways!"

"If they all had to be taken care of like you, wouldn't the group be in complete chaos?"

"Uncle, that's not very interesting. Who doesn't know that the entire Fenghua Group is made up of outward-looking brothers?"

The young man argued confidently, "What's wrong with taking care of a relative?"

"If you ask me, it would be best if all the top positions in the entire group were filled by relatives!"

"If there are benefits, they should naturally go to our own people. Why should outsiders benefit from them?"

"Heh, you wish!"

Uncle San suddenly stopped being angry and said with a faint smile, "If you really have such ability, then I might as well send you to Hong Kong Island and see if your fake brother will take care of you!"

"I don't think that's necessary. I think Fenghua Group is perfectly fine!"

The young man didn't care at all and said with a grin, "No matter what, Uncle, you have to get me a good seat, or I'll tell my family!"

"Hehe, I think you're a great talent!"

My third uncle said with a forced smile, "Fenghua Group is just a small temple; it can no longer accommodate a big shot like you!" "How about I take you back with me next time I go back to my hometown?"

"No need for that, I'm quite satisfied with my life right now!"

The young man's expression finally changed, and he subconsciously stood up and said, "By the way, Uncle, I still have some things to finish here, so I'll go back and do them first. I'll come over for a meal next time!"

After saying that, he quickly left his third uncle's house.

"Hey……"

My third uncle sat motionless on the sofa, feeling utterly exhausted and quite depressed.

Although I knew that recruiting workers from my hometown would inevitably lead to such incidents, I was still quite disappointed when I actually encountered such a shameless jerk.

At the beginning, his position was not high, so he could conceal some of the truth.

However, as the group expanded rapidly, he had no choice but to quickly become the head of the sales department.

The employees recruited from their hometowns were all very excited.

Some of the more resourceful ones thought of using their third uncle's connections to become lower-level managers.

Like that guy just now, I don't know what rumors he heard, but he was convinced that the big boss of Fenghua Group was his third uncle's nephew, so he would come to harass him from time to time.

In fact, most of the employees who come from their hometowns are very honest.

They are indeed quite satisfied with their current jobs and salaries, as they certainly wouldn't earn this much money back in their hometown.

But some people just want to take shortcuts and be opportunistic.

Don't they realize that there aren't that many shortcuts for them to take?

Those who are truly capable would have been promoted to junior management positions long ago during the group's rapid expansion. The group's senior management isn't brain-dead.

For those with greater ambitions, or those unwilling to settle for a fixed salary, the group will provide support to help them quickly establish themselves within the company's supply chain and become part of the group's supply system.

Not to mention that there are opportunities everywhere in Shenzhen right now!
With the backing of a large factory with tens of thousands of employees, as long as you don't try to take shortcuts and just make money honestly, it's quite easy to succeed.

In fact, the group has already cultivated quite a few of these "insiders"!
In particular, some of the employees that my third uncle recruited from his hometown have already become wealthy.

Do they really think they can succeed so quickly based on their own accumulated funds?

Without the support of the group, and without more than ten years of painstaking accumulation, you can forget about it.

In fact, even if you work diligently within the group, with the group's salary and other benefits, it is not difficult to buy a subsidized apartment within the group within five years.

Furthermore, the group has collaborated with relevant institutions in Shenzhen to develop a wide range of training programs.

It includes things like simple machine repair, car driving, and technical training in various related fields, which is similar to night school. As long as you are willing to learn, you have the opportunity to improve.

Once your skills reach a certain level, a raise is almost guaranteed, if not a promotion.

Under such circumstances, the enthusiasm of the group's employees is exceptionally high.

However, a few employees from their hometowns, after seeing the glitz and glamour of the outside world, are no longer willing to settle down and work hard to make money.

They dreamed of instant success and wanted to exploit the group for personal gain.

The young man who just left was one of them, and he was quite annoying.

Taking advantage of his distant kinship with his third uncle, he was not serious at work and often brought up his uncle's relationship with him, which led to conflicts with the team leader.

My third uncle has had a lot of headaches because of this guy!

Unlike later generations, people at that time rarely interacted with relatives who were distantly related by blood.

The current family relationships are truly very close!

As long as someone is willing to make contact, you should at least give them some face!
If you have the ability, it is only right to take care of them.

That doesn't mean that my third uncle was willing to be a nanny for a distant relative.

At this moment, Auntie San came out of the kitchen and couldn't help but complain when she saw Uncle San: "Look at what kind of person that was! If you didn't know better, you would think you were his father!"

"Alright, stop talking about him!"

My third uncle waved his hand irritably and said in a low voice, "Next time I go back to my hometown, I'll send him back. I really can't handle an old man like that!"

"You should have done this a long time ago!"

Auntie San finally smiled and immediately changed the subject: "When is Dafeng coming to Pengcheng? I haven't seen him in a long time!"

"How do I know this?"

Third Uncle shook his head and said, "Da Feng's business is very large, and he has quite a few businesses in Hong Kong as well!"

"How about we help Dafeng after Xiao An graduates from junior college?"

Auntie San suggested, "With Xiao An's help, I believe Da Feng's business will only get better and better!"

The third uncle glanced at his third aunt with some annoyance, but showed no intention of responding.

Although in the eyes of parents, their own children are all the best.

But his third uncle was worldly-wise. When he was entertained outside, the people who entertained him were at least bureau chiefs in Pengcheng. Over time, his horizons broadened considerably.

Anyone who didn't know better would think that Fenghua Group was created out of thin air.

He knew that most of the group's senior management were professional managers hired from Hong Kong.

Their abilities speak for themselves. My third uncle worked with them for a long time and greatly admired their capabilities. He certainly didn't think his own son, who hadn't even graduated from college, could compare to these elites.

Besides, don't you have any idea how your own son got into college?
After dinner, ignoring his aunt's nagging, he went to his study and made a phone call to Wu Feng, who was in Hong Kong, briefly explaining the situation at the group.

As for family troubles, I naturally wouldn't talk about them on the phone; I couldn't bear the embarrassment.

"Let's do it the way you've agreed!"

Wu Feng's answer was simple: he fully trusted the decisions of the Fenghua Group's senior management.

On Hong Kong Island, he was in a very good mood.

When Wang Jing's film "Gambling God" was released, it raked in an astonishing 35 million yuan at the box office during its 30-day run, becoming an instant sensation.

Wu Feng never expected that the first installment of "Gambling God," after being completely revamped, would still achieve such astonishing box office results, proving that the gambling craze in Hong Kong is indeed raging.

Since Wang Jing has set a good precedent, what else is there to say?

Next, ATV's drama series "Gambling God" took over, continuing to bombard the television industry.

Given this enthusiastic momentum, the development of the arcade machine and game cartridges of the same name has already entered the process.

In short, most of the entertainment companies under his management will benefit greatly from the "Gambling God" phenomenon.

As for the impact on Australia, what does that have to do with him?

Fortunately, Li Saifeng and Weng Hong had recently taken turns making time for Wu Feng, allowing him to fully experience the wonderful pleasures of a gentle and loving relationship.

With the support of Fengrui Films, Li Saifeng has successfully established herself as Hong Kong's number one female kung fu action star.

Whether it's a period kung fu film set in the Republican era or a modern urban kung fu film, she always delivers outstanding and beautiful performances, and her box office results are also quite impressive.
