After Being Reborn and Regaining Her Identity, the True Heiress Is Spoiled in the Seventies

Chapter 362

However, things did not develop as she had imagined.

The sixteenth day of the first month after New Year was the time for children to start school, and also the day Hongfeng Appliance Factory started work.

The first batch of recruited employees was not too many, even counting cousin and his wife from Zhou Village, there were only more than 20 people, all gathered at the factory gate.

Liu Xuan and Wu Xiaohua's side sent gifts to celebrate the opening, after Zhi Xia, the leader, gave everyone a speech, a large plate of firecrackers exploded with a bang, and the government also specially sent someone to participate in the ribbon-cutting ceremony to strengthen momentum.

Hongfeng Appliance was the first private enterprise established in Jin City, and also the only appliance factory in Jin City. Jin City wanted to vigorously develop real estate, so it naturally had to have attractive places to first provide employment opportunities.

Although the factory only recruited more than 20 people in the first batch, looking at the area it occupies, this was just the beginning. Once it was successfully opened, it would definitely not just be this.

Moreover, the current situation has changed. The development of the city relies on the support of various industries and businesses. The policy that the government will adopt next is to vigorously attract investment and build the city.

A few days ago, Zhi Xia had already taught the assembly procedures to the leaders she was preparing to train afterwards. The 20-odd people were divided into three groups, each led by one person to carry out their respective procedures.

While Zhi Xia was busy over here, Gao Second Sister was so angry over there that she almost flipped the table.

"Gao Dalin, what on earth are you doing?" Gao Second Sister pointed the spearhead at her brother, "Didn't we agree that it would be foolproof? The factory has already been set up, and you tell me this is foolproof?"

Thinking of the original plan, Gao Dalin was also a little afraid, "I went there specially and spent a lot of money to investigate. Boss Huang was the only one who could get these things. The profit we gave was the best he could get. It was impossible for him to betray us."

"What's the use of saying this now? The key is that An ZhiXia's factory has opened. We have invested all our money to monopolize the controllers. Tell me what we should do now?"

Gao Second Sister was also a good schemer. She chose to cut off the core controller after Zhi Xia had everything ready, just to make her at a loss, and then think of a way to take over the factory she had built at a low price, and then sign an agreement with Boss Huang to let him supply goods. They would produce on this side, and after making money, they would give him a certain profit, which would definitely make more money than his simple supply.

But plans cannot keep up with changes. Just in case, the controllers on Boss Huang's side had been taken away by her. Where did An ZhiXia find the source of goods?

"Don't worry, I'll call Boss Huang now. If it doesn't work, we'll get the other parts ready, find someone to assemble them, and we won't lose money anyway." Not losing money was just the worst plan he could make. Anyway he could make a profit, just not as fast and big as scheming against An ZhiXia.

"You have good ideas, but we don't have the procedures. It's still smuggling." Gao Second Sister glared at him, "The current market conditions are not like before. The checkpoints are all checked very strictly. We can't do it like before. We must find a proper channel."

"As for An ZhiXia's side, it was cheap for her that we didn't plot against her. Don't bother her for now. You try to contact the people around An ZhiXia. Remember, never let her know that we are contacting them. Try to sell the controllers to her as much as possible to get the capital back first."

She wanted to focus on real estate next, and now she just looked at what policies the government would introduce. She must have money on hand. Since the plan failed, she had to liquidate quickly so as not to affect her proper business.

"Then aren't we losing a lot?" He was able to intercept the goods that belonged to An ZhiXia from Boss Huang's side, which was originally spent a lot of money, Boss Huang would not breach the contract at normal prices, and it also cut off his business in Shen City.

He knew last time that people in Shen City were still looking for his news and urging him to complete it here.

If Boss Huang knew that the appliance factory plan had fallen through, he would probably want to eat him alive.

"It can't be helped to lose a little. After all, we can't fight others and dig up our own foundation." Gao Second Sister always acted prudently, which was the reason she had never had an accident in these years.

But obviously Gao Dalin didn't think so.

Having money these years made him more complacent. Although he still believed Gao Second Sister very much, he inevitably had his own thoughts.

Especially after getting married, people always have to consider themselves.

Second Sister said next they would wait for real estate development. He didn't know where this path would lead, but appliance assembly had shown him the prospect.

The most popular scarce commodities on the market now, as long as they were produced, they would definitely sell. And they had already paid such a high price that he was reluctant to give up easily.

He also felt that Gao Second Sister's courage was too small. Now it was just the beginning of the contest, only one round, and she already had the idea of retreating.

Perhaps An ZhiXia only temporarily obtained a batch of controllers from somewhere, the quantity must be limited. As long as he firmly controlled Boss Huang's side, An ZhiXia would come to him sooner or later. By then...

Speaking of which, the girl used to be thin and shriveled. She had really changed a lot these years, especially her face and figure...

Gao Dalin was reckless, and his mind went to who knows where, but suddenly, Pei Jingjian's sturdy figure appeared in his mind and disrupted all his fantasies.

He had only glanced at him secretly in the corner back then. That man was so vigilant. At that time, just one cold glance from him made Gao Dalin almost unable to stand still.

Forget it, unless he could overthrow the Pei family and An family, otherwise he really couldn't move that dead girl.

He still knew his own limits. Doing some small actions behind the scenes was fine, but really confronting the Pei family and An family, his small stature would surely be annihilated without a trace.

Not long after, Zhi Xia received Wu Lei's contact.

The researchers she wanted had been found, and they could bring the technology with them, but there were still some minor problems. He wanted to set up his own research and development department independently, with 5% equity share, and no one could interfere with him.

This condition was not excessive, provided that he had the ability to match it.

"How's it going with the person I asked you to find?" Zhi Xia asked.

She had originally wanted to dig people from state-owned factories, but people's cherishment of iron rice bowls now was extraordinary. With stable jobs, no one wanted to take risks, so she could only start with talented newcomers.

"I've found them, a total of two people, one of them is very talented, he assembled semiconductors by himself..."

"You're in charge of this. Arrange them in the R&D department. I will find some books in this field abroad for them. Tell them to study hard..."

This was also in case something happened. This foreigner was brought over at a high price. Since she could dig him over, others might dig him away too.

Of course, if he could focus on R&D steadfastly, she would be even happier, but it never hurts to leave a backup plan.

"Also, I remember Jin City University has quotas for government-sponsored overseas students every year. Contact the school and let Hongfeng sponsor more top students to study abroad, but they must work at Hongfeng for more than ten years after returning from studying abroad, and volunteers must sign a contract."

Ten years is not a very long time. Currently, to send someone abroad to study not only requires paying for tuition but also paying for their basic living expenses for those years. This is already a very large expenditure to begin with. Spending so much money and effort to train someone, if they come back and participate in other work, it would not be too bad of an investment, at least they are making contributions to their motherland. But the worrying thing is if they stay abroad and don't come back.

Examples like this are not uncommon. She was even more unwilling to spend money training talent for other countries. Therefore, this must be considered prudently.

Moreover, this is 10 years of paid work, a win-win with no loss.

Jiao Yan Chu Jian was only Wu Lei reporting the situation to her occasionally. She did not participate personally or feel particularly tired.

But one person's energy is limited after all. Hong Feng relied entirely on her alone from the beginning until now. Although she had started training talent, it was not something that could be accomplished in a short time. Competing with state-owned enterprises for talent was futile, so she could only work harder by herself for the time being.

Fortunately, everything was going relatively smoothly.

With the establishment of the R&D department, and the various preparations, Hong Feng was now able to independently manufacture all parts of electric fans, no longer having to rely on importing components from abroad for assembly.

Let alone it was only 1983 now. Even in the 1990s when various industries were neck and neck, having mastered this technology would allow them to lead the pack for some time.

After the establishment of the R&D department, the company also set up a sales department. As they had anticipated, it was not like when Jiao Yan was just getting started and had to look everywhere for sales channels and advertise.

Once summer arrived, the demand for electric fans from the people was huge. Aside from those who could not even afford meals at home, who wouldn’t want to scrimp and save to buy an electric fan to bring home?

And the inability of state-owned factories to meet demand created an opportunity for private enterprises.

It was only May, and inventory was already sold out, with orders placed until November of the second half of the year.

Some who could not get orders this year were also making preparations for next year. The discerning could see that at least in the next few years, there would be no lack of sales channels for these types of products.

While Zhi Xia was busy with all this, Jiang Tao, as the deputy factory director, was specially invited to attend a banquet.

He actually did not have much time either, but a childhood friend had invited him repeatedly, so he could not decline to give face and had to make time to attend the appointment.

The most luxurious private room at Huasheng Hotel, the dining was not only with the highest grade ingredients, but Jiang Tao also discovered upon arriving that beside his childhood friend were two attractive young women, dressed slightly provocatively and behaving intimately.

He suddenly had a bad premonition, and warily sat in the spot furthest from them.

“Brother, you’ve made your fortune!” Jiang Tao looked at the specifications before him. Even as a deputy factory director, if it wasn’t a business meal that could be expensed, he would not dare to eat such a meal either.

However, he had not heard of his friend making any fortune, only hearing from others that he was still idling around wasting time.

Jiang Tao would never look down on that sort of time-wasting person. Nowadays, idling around, who knows, he might have become someone that others could never catch up to.

“Can't say I've made a fortune, just found a way to make a living that's a bit better than before.” With Jiang Tao's praise, his friend could no longer keep a straight face, the corners of his mouth almost cracking to his ear.

It was clearly the state of someone who had gotten rich overnight, with unstable thoughts.

“Tao, it wasn’t easy to treat you to a meal. Order whatever you like to eat today, brother’s treating.” Anyway he didn't have to pay the bill in the end. He should choose the best dishes.

Besides, the other party said that as long as he could get the job done, there would still be a considerable remuneration for him.

As for the matter he was asked to handle, he felt it was no big deal. Jiang Tao was already the deputy factory director; this bit of power should not be a problem.

After speaking, he glared at the girl beside him, “Why isn’t there any entertainment? Hurry and move over there, pour some drinks for my brother!”

Jiang Tao hurriedly stood up and waved his hands awkwardly, “No need for that. Let me make this clear first, I’ll sit down since you want to treat me to a meal today, but if you want anything else, I’ll head back first.”

“Hey, don’t...”

It wasn’t easy getting him to come out after all the invitation, so he quickly stopped the woman from going over. Only then did Jiang Tao shrink to the side, looking like a wronged little daughter-in-law.

He had just returned from the countryside last year, and it had been many years since he last saw this childhood friend. When they were little they got along so well, but now he had become like this, he didn't know why.

It gave him the feeling that he was not a good person.

“If there’s anything you want to discuss with me, just say it directly. As you know, I finally found a job after coming back, busy with big and small things every day, not much time to come out and delay things.”

“Brother, you’re being too modest. But since you say so, I’ll get to the point.” His friend smiled, but it was somewhat sinister. He waved away the two women at his side before moving closer to Jiang Tao and whispering something in his ear.

“No, I can’t agree to this.” Jiang Tao's attitude changed as he rejected sharply, “Our factory makes everything from fans to controllers by ourselves now, we don't purchase externally. Don’t bother pitching this idea to me, I can’t help you.”

Jiang Tao glanced at his watch. This was a reward from the factory director when he became deputy factory director. He even encouraged him to work hard, and that there would be opportunities for further promotion in the future. He might even become a shareholder of Hong Feng.
