Chapter 225: Chapter 225: Dream or delusion
On a Saturday afternoon, Huang Jingping secretly returned to the city in the personnel department's car that was used to inspect trainees, without Feng Yiping's knowledge.
As soon as Feng Yiping opened the door, she pounced in, hung around his neck, and her face was full of tenderness, 'I've missed you so much!'
Feng Yiping quickly closed the door, but there was someone on the other side. They had to be careful about their behaviour.
She hung around Feng Yiping's neck like this, slowly moving, and backed onto the sofa, burying her head in Feng Yiping's chest. 'I like to hear your heartbeat,' she whispered.
'Mmm,' Feng Yiping patted her on the head.
She then laid on top of him for a while, and Feng Yiping felt sweat form on his chest. Huang Jingping suddenly looked up at him, her eyes shining, and said, 'I feel that our heartbeats are in sync. Why don't you listen to mine too!'
'This, that...,' Feng Yiping looked up and looked around, not knowing what to say. It's easy to hear a boy's heartbeat, but to hear a girl's, you have to press up against her... That's a bit awkward, isn't it!
Huang Jingping looked at Feng Yiping, who had rarely looked so embarrassed, and laughed. She still placed her head on his chest, took Feng Yiping's hand, and asked, 'How did things go in town?'
'It's almost all settled.'
'I don't quite understand why you want to set up a factory in town.'
More and more new houses were being built, and Jiasheng's business was getting better and better. Feng Yiping felt that the cabinet factory he had mentioned to his brother-in-law could be put on the agenda.
Originally, Feng Yiping didn't want to set up the factory in the town either. His ideal location for the factory was, of course, along the coast, such as our first special economic zone. The reason is well known to everyone: not only are the policies there good and the incentives numerous, the behaviour of public servants is also much more formal, and it will be convenient for exports in the future.
Moreover, there are a large number of enterprises concentrated there, and there are also many large-scale enterprises. An annual output value of tens of millions is nothing. Later, he came into contact with many manufacturers with an actual annual output value of over 50 million, and they were actually still paying a fixed tax!
It's different for them. An enterprise with an annual output value of over 50 million yuan can rank among the best in the province. If it's in a city or county, boy, it's definitely a veritable big enterprise. From top to bottom, countless pairs of eyes are watching, and countless hands are trying to get in. What kind of daydream are you having, trying to secretly pay only the fixed tax!
As for those people in hats and uniforms, they come knocking on your door for all sorts of reasons, looking to take advantage of you, and it's a very common thing.
If you don't look at it, the richest people in our country are generally not in the capital, and the richest people in a province are generally not in the provincial capital, they are all down there. So now it's not good to go to the coast, you can only go down there.
The county is obviously not a very good choice. Any random clerk can find ways to make things difficult for you and demand advantages. And although he doesn't have much power, he is just like the snake that wants to swallow the elephant, with a huge appetite. For most ordinary people, these flies are the most annoying.
Of course there is a way out. As long as Feng Yiping finds a bigwig to hug and gives the right people a little bribe, all these troubles will naturally disappear. Hugging a bigwig is certainly not a pleasant thing to do, and it is the last resort. He is not in a position to hug a bigwig yet.
So Feng Yiping thought about it and decided to set up shop in the town. But of course the town is not a paradise either. Don't be fooled by the promises they made when you were investing. Once you've invested, there are ways to get you.
Feng Yiping later heard about an incident in another town where an investor from outside the area was not only left with nothing after being taken advantage of, but also left with a mountain of debt. In the end, with no way out, he chose to hang himself in front of the local town hall.
Therefore, even if he set up a factory in the town by himself and even if he recruited people from the village to work for him, it would not be safe. They will definitely be grateful when they receive their wages, but it is just like a pipe dream to expect them to help you when something happens. As the old saying goes, 'The people do not fight with the officials.'
Therefore, the safest way is to learn from the ideas of our predecessors, to come from the masses and go among the masses, to draw them in and make them a part of the community.
If they knew that every time a big hat came, it was to cut off a piece of flesh from them for no reason, no matter which unit you were from, they would not be happy.
If you just give them a little encouragement, they will definitely surround the factory and make sure you can't get in or out, no matter which unit you're from, if you try to take advantage of the situation.
Even if you're from the county or city, they're not scared. As long as you dare to take advantage, they absolutely dare to take their whole family to your unit to sit in.
The experience of the older generation tells us that the power of the people is infinite, comrades.
Of course, this is only one aspect of Feng Yiping's plan. Most importantly, he wanted to try and make a small change to the status quo.
Until later, many provinces in such inland areas, most people like migratory birds, migrating between their hometowns and the south, most people are leaving their parents, wives and children at home, earning hard money to help build the hometown, tired like a dog all year round, while also having to endure the scorn of people from other places.
When it's time to go home at the end of the year, and then go to work after the New Year, it's a real struggle. So why don't we try to make the area around our home a better place to live, and then we can work nearby in the future? Or even better, why don't we invite people from other places to come and work here?
Feng Yiping doesn't expect to change the world, he just wants to change this small corner of his hometown.
At present, Feng Yiping feels that this matter, or this dream, is not impossible to turn into reality, and that he can still try hard.
There are various reasons that may make you give up, such as geographical location, government corruption index, civil servant work style, etc. However, the coastal area also went through the same thing at the beginning, and they have also experienced these problems.
Now, aren't they all developing very well? The people are also quite good, and so are the civil servants.
As they always say, if no one does anything about it, these problems will never change. You can only watch helplessly as the place you were born and raised in becomes more and more different from the place where you work, and then your next generation will also be forced to follow in your footsteps.
'You tell me, am I being a bit silly, am I just talking nonsense?' Feng Yiping asked Huang Jingping.
'No,' Huang Jingping sat up straight and looked at him with adoring eyes, 'I think you're thinking straight, I support you, I will definitely work hard with you!'
Feng Yiping suddenly felt that he seemed to have the potential to become a pyramid scheme salesman.
Stared at with such adoring eyes, Feng Yiping enjoyed it very much, and felt as if he had grown taller too. His adrenaline was surging.
Huang Jingping gave him a kiss on the cheek, 'Okay, I'm going to take a shower first.'
The bathroom door closed, and she poked her head out again, "Don't peek!'
Why did Feng Yiping feel that this was completely the meaning of "throwing away silver dollars in broad daylight'?

A total investment of two million, with the village's 20 mu of land valued at 200,000, Lao Cai's family investing 500,000, Mei Yiliang investing all the 200,000 he had, and the rest being funded by Feng Yiping alone.
Once the village had made a decision, there were no more twists and turns in the matter. Cai Lei signed the contract with the town on behalf of Jiasheng Company, and the town immediately began the land levelling work. Cai Lei was also busy contacting design institutes, ordering equipment, and negotiating contracts for raw materials with several forestry farms.
Mei Yiliang also returned with a few people. As Feng Yiping had said, there would be many similar constructions, so he was going to set up another construction company in the town.
However, before he had been in the town for a few days and the construction company had been set up, he had already returned to the province and brought Feng Zhenchang to Feng Yiping, saying, 'I want to set up a brick factory.'
When Mei Yiliang was looking for construction workers, he discovered that the town and many of the villages below were also demolishing tile houses and building buildings. The bricks used had to be transported from the county, and he felt that this was a business opportunity.
At the same time, the town had plenty of river sand, one of the main raw materials for making bricks.
Feng Yiping thought about it for a moment and said, 'I think it's okay, but you always have to make a plan first. How big is the demand? How big is our production scale? How much capital investment is required? How many people are allocated? How much land does it occupy?'
Mei Yiliang's face paled a little when he heard this. He just felt that this was something that could be done, but asking him to make a plan was really putting him in a difficult position.
However, this matter could not be taken lightly. This was not like when they started a noodle shop or a decoration company, just the brick machine and the supporting excavators, bulldozers, transport trucks and other mechanical equipment, the amount of money to be invested was not a small sum.
'What's so hard about it?' Feng Zhenchang said from the side, "If you can't do it, just pay someone to do it!" When he said this, he had quite the air of a hard worker.
'Right, right, I'll go recruit someone.'
'Cousin, take your second cousin with you,' Feng Yiping said, 'He can be in charge of the brick factory.'
