The world begins with Hong Kong movies

Chapter 470 is very eye-catching! (Seeking monthly votes)
At this time, my hometown county town finally began to resemble a town.

Instead of the previous style, which was definitely reminiscent of a rural-urban fringe area.

The aroma of breakfast at the county guesthouse restaurant is so enticing.

Not to mention the starving third uncle, even the county's bigwigs were enjoying their meal immensely.

Well, the officials at that time were still relatively simple and unassuming.

They cherish their reputation and are quite restrained when it comes to eating and drinking.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they got down to business.

"I've discussed the matter of investing in and building a factory with General Manager Wu!"

"Due to various limitations, the county should consider the four aspects of clothing, food, housing, and transportation!"

"Forget about garment and textile factories; the competition outside is just too fierce. But some specialty foods might be worth a try!"

"Take bottled water, for example. It's quite fashionable right now, and if done well, it could even create an entire industry chain!"

"But the problem remains: transportation costs are too high. It would be more convenient to do it in the city, and the city would probably compete for it!"

"As for the medicinal herbs in the county, we could make a good plan, as the hospitals near the company have a huge demand for them!"

My third uncle didn't keep me in suspense; instead, he laid out his thoughts clearly.

This is due to practical reasons, not because the factory group doesn't want to help its hometown.

In fact, because my hometown is located at the junction of three provinces, it is a veritable mountainous and forested area, and many places still retain their original features.

That vast area is rich in wild medicinal herbs, but unfortunately, due to transportation and sales issues, its development is currently extremely difficult.

The leaders present were aware of these things, but they still wanted to try.

"Is there any way for the factory and hospital to directly purchase the processed medicinal materials?"

"Okay!"

My third uncle agreed without hesitation, and chuckled, "It would be best to ask the experienced craftsmen from the relevant pharmaceutical factory to help with the quality control, and the quality absolutely cannot be compromised!"

This made all the county leaders very happy.

In their view, these are all minor issues.

As long as money can be made, the county can mobilize a considerable number of local people, and it is not difficult to mobilize even the entire township.

Who doesn't want a good life?
Who wouldn't want to be the next villager of Longwan Village?
Longwan Village is the village where Wu Feng's maternal grandparents lived.

Originally, it was just a poor and backward mountain village. Even electricity was only brought in in the last two years, which shows how remote and impoverished it was.

But in just over two years, Longwan Village has undergone a dramatic transformation.

The neat rows of two-story villas and the clean, tidy cobblestone roads make this place look nothing like a small mountain village; it's even more pleasing to the eye than the streets of a county town.

For no other reason than that most of the young people in Longwan Village who did not get into university or vocational school went to work in factory groups.

After all, they were true neighbors, and when it came to taking care of each other, Wu Feng didn't even have to ask; his third uncle would arrange everything perfectly.

As long as one isn't cunning or lazy, and doesn't succumb to the temptations of the outside world and quickly fall into depravity, accumulating savings of over five thousand in two years shouldn't be a problem.

Five thousand yuan in 1990 could buy so many things in the countryside.

With a little help from Wu Feng, Longwan Village has transformed into its current modern form, standing out from the surrounding villages and towns. Of course, no one in the village owns a car or motorcycle yet, but the classic 28-inch bicycle is now ubiquitous; almost every household has one.

Having gained experience outside, some of them went to night school or skills training centers to become technicians or other skilled workers.

Under their guidance, every household in Longwan Village raises chickens and pigs, and some have even bought cattle, making them quite conspicuous.

They not only increased the breeding of poultry and livestock, but also spared no expense in educating their children.

Those who could go to study at the school affiliated with the factory group were all taken along without exception.

If not, then studying in the town or county seat is fine too.

Every time they go home for holidays, they have to check their grades carefully, and some even go to the school in person to find out what's going on.

Indeed, they had seen the benefits of being educated outside.

Leaving aside getting into university or vocational school, simply obtaining a certificate from the factory group's internal training school is highly desirable in Guangdong's factory circles.

However, some people learn technical skills much slower because they had a poor foundation in their childhood.

Students with some basic skills can generally obtain the corresponding skills qualification certificates within the time limit stipulated by the training center.

Sometimes, the difference is measured in years!

If you convert that into salary, bonuses, and benefits, the difference is at least three thousand yuan a year, which is not an exaggeration at all.

Having personally experienced the difference between those who have studied and those who haven't, how could I possibly let my younger siblings or nephews and nieces repeat my mistakes?
Furthermore, the factory group frequently conducts broadcasts and television promotions to encourage employees to strive for excellence, and the effort is considerable.

In fact, everyone knows the truth!
No matter which factory you work for, the basic salary is pretty much the same.

However, if one can successfully grow into a technician or skilled worker, the difference in salary and benefits will immediately become apparent.

Even if you work hard for ten years, even if you develop health problems from the hard work, it's already quite remarkable if you can save up ten or twenty thousand yuan.

Given the development speed of the town where I work, housing prices will definitely outpace wage growth.

If it were a skilled worker or technician, and they couldn't save more than 50,000 yuan in ten years, they would be considered a failure.

With 50,000 yuan in savings, buying a house in the suburbs where the factory is located shouldn't be a problem.

It was only after experiencing it firsthand that the factory group's employees became so concerned about their family members' schooling.

This caused quite a stir in the local area, and even throughout the county.

People said all sorts of strange things, but no one dared to mock them to their face.

When the third uncle returned to Longwan Village, it was already the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, and the whole village was eagerly awaiting his return.

After all, Third Uncle is a big shot who came from Longwan Village. As for Wu Feng, who has already joined Hong Kong Island, he has been automatically expelled by them.

Anyway, since returning to the village, my third uncle has basically been attending banquets at villagers' homes, and it wasn't until New Year's Day that things finally calmed down.

Then, it's just family members talking behind closed doors.

Outsiders had no idea what the family had said, but when they went out to pay New Year's visits on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Wu Feng's uncles, cousins, and other relatives stopped using his name to boast.

Wu Feng, however, encountered a troublesome matter at this moment.
