Chapter 413 A Colossus! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Wu Feng invested a considerable amount of money in the development and manufacturing of computer hardware and software without batting an eye.

At the same time, they have also invested heavily in the manufacturing of white goods.

They launched everything at once—air conditioners, refrigerators, washing machines, color TVs, microwave ovens, rice cookers, and so on—all to create a grand spectacle.

Fortunately, Eastern Europe can provide inexpensive home appliance technology.

Last year, Germany reunified, and East Germany suffered terribly.

The state-owned enterprises over there are suffering an unprecedented disaster.

With the combined power of West German capital, the government, through various overt and covert means, frantically plundered East German collectives and industries.

East Germany was in a state of panic, and various assets and technologies were sold off cheaply, including various home appliance manufacturing technologies.

Compared to other high-tech fields, such as the world-renowned Zeiss optical lenses, home appliance technology is quite insignificant.

At this time, Wu Feng had no shortage of electronic engineers under his command. With just a few modifications, he could adapt the home appliance technology he had obtained from East Germany or Eastern Europe to the different home appliance standards of Hong Kong Island, the mainland, and Southeast Asian countries.

Several more large companies with tens of thousands of employees!
The Wu family owns almost half of the industrial land in Shekou.

Not to mention high-ranking officials in Shenzhen, even high-ranking officials in Guangdong Province are all happily coming to the construction site to cut the ribbon and show their faces.

Well, at that time, the mainland was quite enthusiastic about investments from Hong Kong.

Especially someone like Wu Feng, a model patriotic Hong Kong businessman!
The investment was in high-tech white goods, so it was naturally more popular, as it involved the construction of several large factories with tens of thousands of employees.

Wu Feng implemented a very clear state-owned enterprise system!
Unless someone has ulterior motives, anyone with a sound mind would consider him one of their own, or at least a potential member of their own group.

Including other industries, Wu Feng alone employs more than 200,000 workers in mainland China.

Half of them are veterans!
By this time, there was very little external interference.

There are some things that everyone knows!
Of course, there were still quite a few people who wanted to squeeze in, and Wu Feng did not refuse them outright, but made arrangements for them according to their individual circumstances.

But that’s it!
Since you're here to work, you should act like you're at work.

Having reached his current level of power and status, he really doesn't need to care about anyone's feelings.

Even setting aside the construction of the factory buildings, just the dormitories for so many workers would have been a massive undertaking at that time.

The dormitories were all 18 or 15 stories high, which would be considered high-standard, well-furnished apartments by today's standards, except for their small size.

Wu Feng's requirements were quite high; everything had to be built according to the 2020 housing construction standards and models, causing considerable trouble for relevant design units in mainland China and Hong Kong.

However, such apartment-style dormitories are quite beautiful when built.

Even placed in the most bustling city center in mainland China at that time, it would still be a unique and beautiful sight.

Moreover, it is fully equipped with fire-fighting measures, safety passages, and underground parking garages.

Anyone who has personally gone upstairs to see the room layout and decoration is amazed by the exquisite and beautiful staff dormitory.

Some people were so jealous that their eyes turned red.

They wanted to buy it at a low price, but naturally, nothing came of it in the end.

To put it simply, at least Wu Feng and his companies won't directly enter the real estate industry; it's too easy for problems to arise. The construction of other employee hospitals, canteens, and schools is also a significant undertaking, and all are being built to 2020 standards.

To put it simply, those five-star hotels and high-end sanatoriums are probably similar to or even better than the various staff buildings under Wu Feng's command in terms of architectural style and aesthetics.

The rest of the buildings belonging to Wu Feng's employees all had a somewhat rustic feel to them.

It's hard to say about other places, but at least in the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone, there are already quite a few newly built buildings that follow the construction model for Wu Feng's employees.

Factory owners, especially those from Hong Kong Island, were all very enthusiastic.

There is a hierarchy of contempt among Hong Kong businessmen.

Fortunately, Wu Feng has set a good example.

At least, many factories run by Hong Kong businessmen in the Special Administrative Region provide better logistical support and employee rights than in normal times.

The wages are quite good, and some have followed suit by building staff dormitories and canteens, so the situation is not bad.

This favorable situation is also due to Wu Feng's frequent support for the businesses of certain Hong Kong businessmen he finds agreeable.

His main sales channels are all overseas!

In fact, the reputation of businessmen at the airport is quite good under normal circumstances.

With role models like Wu Feng in the current climate, it's natural that his reputation and public image would be better, which is quite normal.

Speaking of which, Wu Feng also has considerable influence in the mainland industry.

At this time, there were a large number of demobilized and retired military personnel in various local units.

Most of these demobilized soldiers could be considered Wu Feng's connections.

Another point is that Wu Feng himself was quite surprised.

His factory group in mainland China has set up a large number of internal training schools, the main purpose of which is to cultivate talents in various fields.

The factory group is in a phase of rapid development, and its demand for technical talent is no joke.

The factory group alone needs no fewer than a division of long-distance transport drivers.

At that time, in mainland China, drivers were highly respected skilled workers; they were either state employees or seasoned veterans who made a lot of money running their own businesses.

These highly skilled drivers have no chance of joining the factory group unless the factory group is willing to invest heavily.

But there's really no need for that!
Wu Feng's idea was simple: recruit retired military drivers on one hand, and train them internally by setting up a training school on the other.

The trade with the Russians required several large transport fleets to exist long-term, and there was no shortage of practical opportunities, so qualified freight drivers were trained batch by batch.

Who knew that other companies in the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone seemed to have their eyes on the internal freight driver training school run by Wu Feng's factory group, and poached all the graduates with high salaries.

It's not just truck drivers; there are also mechanical maintenance and repair technicians, as well as other technical personnel trained in internal schools—all highly sought-after by numerous factories.

Although this slowed down the training of technical personnel for the factory group, its influence quickly spread to other factories.
