Spring Breeze Twenty Years

Chapter 1335 Not Getting Involved

They left the affairs in Inner Mongolia to Liu Hongliang, the professor from the Agricultural University, and the military. On Monday, Xiaowei, Chen Hui, and Mile returned to Xingcheng.

Zhang Jun and his family returned last night.

A few people went to the shopping mall here and took a look around.

Miler really liked the architectural style here, especially the central tower-style office area and the terraced houses, which felt very Russian.

"Your headquarters buildings in various places should all be built like this, magnificent and imposing."

"This needs to be adapted to the specific circumstances, right? The style is consistent, though."

"No, no, no, we can build a central main building complex like this, and then consider the others, so that no matter where people see it, their first reaction will be that it's a sister company, you understand? I'm serious."

Xiao Wei said, "We had actually thought about this before, but we decided to unify the style and let each region have its own unique characteristics. This includes the names."

We each have our own unique names, we just don't want to be too conspicuous, brother. There's no need to show off, we don't need to be famous. Do you really need everyone's attention?

Miler smacked her lips: "I don't know what you guys are afraid of. Is being famous bad? You have the talent, why are you hiding it?"

Xiao Wei shook his head: "We have no real strength. Compared to others, we're nothing. We can only be proud of ourselves in this small area. We'll only know how high the sky is when we go out into the world, young comrade."

Chen Hui nodded: "There are too many truly powerful bosses; we're nothing special. Not to mention those far away, just in Liaodong alone, there are quite a few with assets in the hundreds of millions or billions. And in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and eastern Guangdong, how many? As for Beijing and Shanghai, it's better to be honest."

Miler pursed his lips and said, "I heard that famous mine owner from Liaodong got arrested, right?"

Xiao Wei shook his head: "I don't know, I don't recognize them. Anyway, we don't touch state-owned enterprises or those kinds of things, it's too much trouble to cover it up."

Chen Hui said with a smile, "There's really no way to avoid it. Fengtian is preparing to carry out a major overhaul of Tiexi District and renovate several commercial center areas. The official letter has been sent to me, hoping that our company can respond to the call and participate in the urban transformation, contributing to the construction of our hometown."

Xiao Wei asked, "What are the specifics?"

Chen Hui scratched his head: "Anyway, it's just a bunch of factories being sold off in a package, and some land being put up for development. I took a look, and it seems they want to relocate all the factories out of town, move the people to the outskirts, and then create commercial spaces."

Xiao Wei shook his head: "I don't want to get involved. It's too complicated and hard to understand. Besides, what we do has nothing to do with those things. Why would we buy that factory? Who knows where a huge landmine might be planted?"

Miler said, "Isn't the main reason for the decline of state-owned enterprises the old welfare system? Now everyone is talking about reform and restructuring, saying they want to get rid of the burden and start afresh."

Xiao Wei glanced at Miler: "You believe whatever they say? How much money do welfare benefits make? It's all due to lax supervision, outdated product technology, old and obsolete equipment, and no one managing the business or the market."

Everyone's thinking about climbing the ladder, building new buildings and buying nice cars, but nobody wants to do anything productive. The capable ones can't get promoted, and those who do are useless; they know nothing but scheming. Forget it, I'm not getting involved.

Miler said, "Once I buy it, it's yours! How you operate it is entirely up to you!"

Xiao Wei said, "It's not that easy. Don't you watch the news? Aren't there plenty of cases where former leaders incite workers to riot to protect their own interests? They buy the factory but can't do anything or start any work, just grinding their teeth every day. Wouldn't it be better if I used that time to build a new factory?"

Chen Hui said, "The key issue is that the property rights, debts, and creditors are not clear. The government only says things that sound good, but the actual situation becomes complicated, which is really pointless."

The older sister-in-law came over from the other side: "Xiaowei, Xiaohui, why aren't you coming inside? What are you doing standing here talking?"

Xiao Wei turned around and said, "It's nothing, just chatting." The group went into the sister-in-law's office.

Now my sister-in-law has also mastered the skills and is fully adapted to the management work of the shopping mall property, doing a very good job. People need to be pushed.

The group sat down on the sofa and learned about the company's operations from the older sister-in-law.

After sitting for a while, a few people came out of the square and strolled along the road. The city here is still small, with few people, and the streets are quite empty.

They chatted idly for a while, then wandered over to the station and went to Zhang Jun's office. Xiao Wei gave Zhang Jun a general overview of the plans for the ranch. Since they wouldn't be staying there anymore, there were some things that Zhang Jun would need to communicate with.

In the afternoon, Zhang Jun drove the group to the airport.

It was already dark when we got off at Kyoto Airport, mainly because we had to transfer in Hohhot, which took too long.

Yang Ying and Shi Xinyang were waiting in their car outside the airport. Three female soldiers arrived; the other one was named Zhang Juan.

"Yangyang." Chen Hui raised his hand to greet Shi Xinyang, only to be met with a big eye roll in return.

"Yingying." Another eye roll.

"Hey, are you out of control? Rolling your eyes at me like that."

Wang Jiwei laughed and said, "Yes, that's an insult to you. Go and have a one-on-one fight with them, practice."

Chen Hui looked at his arms and legs: "Forget it, I can't beat them."

Xiao Wei introduced them: "This is Miler, this is Yang Ying, this is Shi Xinyang, they are in the same unit as my brother-in-law."

Mile said, "Your family has contracted out the military? Is this how the military is used?"

Xiao Wei said, "We cooperate a lot with the military, which is both for protection and surveillance. Anyway, it's a win-win situation, and it's also a policy requirement."

Miler nodded: "That's true."

Back in the courtyard, everyone was still awake. It was noticeably cool in the courtyard at night, and leaves kept falling with the wind.

The pool roof in the front yard has been removed and replaced with a glass floor, which is covered with fallen leaves.

"It's getting cold, winter is coming, another year has passed."

"Dad!" Chen Xiaohui ran over.

"Uncle!" Wang Yan ran over too. That's how kids are when they're together; they do everything like a competition, always striving to outdo each other.

Xiao Wei and Chen Hui each picked up one of the two little ones and kissed them.

Wang Yan laughed and leaned back to avoid it: "The beard is prickly."

Wang Jiwei said, "Now everyone's looking for their uncles and not their fathers anymore, right?"

Wang Yan giggled and swayed from side to side: "No, I want Daddy."

Xiao Wei handed Wang Yan to Wang Jiwei: "What's the big deal? We'll have our own in a few days."

Wang Jiwei kissed Wang Yan and said, "Then you'll have to wait. It'll be several years before they start calling you and running over to you."

Aunt Chen came out of the living room: "You're back? Xiaomi Le's here. How's your dad?"

The group quickly greeted him, and Miler said, "It's fine, things are going well, and I'm not getting angry as often anymore."

Aunt Chen laughed and said, "Yes, your dad is a bit impatient."
