Spring Breeze Twenty Years

Chapter 1332 People are the most important

Chen Hui said with a smile, "Brother Huang, actually your unit really got a good deal. I wouldn't let you take the shares for free in any other place, so I'll have to hold you to high standards and strict requirements from now on. Be prepared."

Minister Huang said, "That's no problem at all. I can't speak for other things, but we're not afraid of anyone when it comes to organization and discipline."

Xiao Wei said, "In terms of safety, it's not just about the ranch itself, but also the staff on the ranch, as well as outsiders who are active on the ranch."

Minister Huang frowned: "Outsiders?"

Chen Hui said, "Once the pasture is grazing, we will open a tourist route and build some special attractions and projects. Considering the special nature of the grassland, these attractions and projects cannot be located next to each other and require transportation, such as horseback riding or oxcarts."

We offer a variety of grassland recreational activities, including yurt experiences, authentic grassland cuisine, bonfire parties, song and dance performances, hunting, and archery. This can generate a considerable income. However, ensuring the safety of our guests is entirely up to you.

Minister Huang thought for a moment and asked, "Is all of this considered income from the ranch?"

Xiao Wei said, "No, we don't need to be so calculating and petty. It's pointless. What's important is to get things done together."

Minister Huang nodded: "I like to hear that."

Xiao Wei thought for a moment and said, "We need quite a few people. I plan to use people from our army, except for the necessary herders. Ideally, it would be a mix of active duty and veterans. I trust the people in the army more. They're reliable."

Huang's expression turned serious: "In recent years, the employment and resettlement of retired personnel has been poor and increasingly difficult. We see it all and are very concerned, but the local area is, after all, a local area; no matter how far we reach, we can't do everything we can."

In recent years, we've even assigned dedicated personnel to oversee this area, liaising with local authorities and monitoring the resettlement offices and armed forces departments. Frankly, the results haven't been very promising. Actually, my desire to invest in refined processing stems from this intention; it would allow me to resettle some demobilized soldiers.

Chen Hui said, "We'll arrange things for the demobilized soldiers, so you don't need to apply, okay?"

Minister Huang picked at his ear: "Oh dear, I've been feeling a bit feverish these past few days, with tinnitus. What did you say, Xiao Chen?"

Everyone burst into laughter.

Xiao Wei said, "We can't stay here for long. Manager Liu Hongliang, who is in charge of this area, will be here soon. He can discuss the specifics with you, Brother Huang. Overall, we'll proceed as we agreed."

Regarding demobilized soldiers, we've been working on this for the past few years, and the military region has been discussing it repeatedly. We'll do our best, and I'd like to utilize as many as possible. According to plan, a large-scale recruitment drive will be launched in Kyoto this year and next.

Once this area is built, we'll recruit a group of people here. Let's take it one step at a time; we'll solve it eventually.

Chen Hui said, "We'll need a batch from Hainan too, right? They need some swimmers there."

Xiao Wei said, "Yeah, we need some good swimmers. There's no rush over there; it'll take at least two years to build. Let Gao Zhijun handle the security; let's not interfere. Even if you don't let him use demobilized soldiers, he has to agree."

Minister Huang sighed: "To be honest, the security guards are a bit wronged. Oh well, it's good enough to have a stable job."

Xiao Wei said, "The soldiers are different too. Our security guards are divided into two groups. One group is responsible for standing guard, patrolling, and that's the basic security. The other group is responsible for the drivers and bodyguards of company departments, buildings, and senior executives. This also includes cargo escort."

Chen Hui's phone rang. He glanced at it, apologized to Minister Huang, and went to the side to answer it.

He hung up the phone and walked over: "Hong Liang has arrived in Xingcheng. He'll be here soon."

Minister Huang asked, "How do we get there? By train or by car? Or..."

Chen Hui said, "The camp management office sent a car to deliver it. After all, we are considered family members of the camp management office."

Minister Huang stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray, leaned back on the sofa and stretched a bit, saying, "Actually, we also ran a ranch in Bayangol, covering more than 100 square kilometers. That was a long time ago."

Later, it was assigned to the General Logistics Department to raise military horses, becoming the August 1st Military Horse Farm. Ever heard of it? Later still, the cavalry declined, the military horse farm was abolished, and the pasture was reorganized into a farm under the jurisdiction of the Agricultural Reclamation Bureau. However, the name remained the same: August 1st Farm, and internally, it was still organized into company-level units.

Xiao Wei said, "There's a difference between raising horses and raising cattle and sheep, isn't there?"

Minister Huang shook his head: "There's not much difference. In fact, military horses have higher requirements for pasture and feed, as well as water and soil. But now, it's hard to say, the original pastures have been almost completely destroyed."

Actually, in terms of the current state of natural grasslands in China, this area is worse than the Hulunbuir region. However, it seems that Ili has already established ranches there. Yeah, are you trying to compete with Ili?

Xiao Wei shook his head: "How could that be? Why do you always say that we're attacking Taiwan? Just because he runs a ranch doesn't mean others can't. There are plenty of companies that produce dairy products; it's not like he's the only one allowed to produce them."

Minister Huang nodded: "That's true, but it seems like he's the only one in the country that has built his own ranch, right? You know, like people, you never know what will happen to the factory in the future."

What started as a small Hui-run dairy factory with 95 cows has grown to become number one in the country in just a few years, maybe two? Its assets have increased more than a hundredfold. When it was restructured, its assets were less than 400,000 yuan, and its profits and taxes were less than 50,000 yuan.

Chen Hui looked at Minister Huang in surprise: "Brother Huang, how do you know so much about them?"

Minister Huang smiled and said, "I'm in charge of logistics, so I deal with them all the time. There used to be many factories that were stronger and bigger than them, so talent is the key. Old Zheng is quite capable."

That's why I agreed to your shareholding structure and investment so readily. I know that how much money is invested and how many shares one owns isn't that important; the key is the leader.

Can half of Bayi Farm's shares compare to Yili's 10%? Actually, compared to Yili, I feel your company is more amazing. You haven't been around for many years, yet you've already developed to this extent.

I've seen some of your materials. You initially invested tens of thousands of yuan, right?

Your foundation is even weaker than Ili's. They are, after all, state-owned enterprises; you can't compare in terms of resources. Now, in your eyes, they're nothing, are they? Tens of millions in assets, five or six million in taxes.

Chen Hui looked at Xiao Wei: "Yili is so famous, and he only has this little bit of stuff? We pay several times more taxes than him, almost ten times more."

Xiao Wei looked at Minister Huang: "Where else would be suitable, besides Khulunbuir?"

Minister Huang said, "XLGL. These two are the largest natural grasslands in the country right now. They were originally royal pastures during the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties."
