Chapter 361

In the days before New Year\'s, Zhou Nan came by for a visit.

"I heard from your third brother that you\'ve been busy with that factory lately. How\'s that going? Do you need any help?"

"It\'s just about done. We\'re waiting to start production after New Year\'s, so there\'s not much to be busy with right now. Why did you suddenly ask about this, mom? Is something going on?"

She had set up factories and shops before, so Zhou Nan had asked about it in the past too, telling Zhi Xia that if she encountered any difficulties to discuss it with the family. Later, seeing that she was doing pretty well on her own, Zhou Nan didn\'t ask anymore.

Zhi Xia figured she wouldn\'t come ask about this for no reason.

"It\'s like this..."

Zhou Nan hadn\'t come for herself, but rather to ask on behalf of her maiden family if Zhi Xia would allow her cousins to come work at the factory, if there were no restrictions.

Of course, afraid that Zhi Xia would be averse to the idea, Zhou Nan asked quite apprehensively, and even said not to feel obligated if it would be difficult, that it was fine if Zhi Xia said no.

She had just come to ask and hadn\'t even brought it up yet with her family back home. If Zhi Xia said no, Zhou Nan could simply not mention it at all.

In terms of hiring workers, it didn\'t matter who, and Zhou Nan knew her two cousins were honest, decent people.

However, there were some things that still needed explaining. Her factory wasn\'t state-owned - state-owned factories could directly change rural residence permits to urban ones, but she didn\'t have the ability to do that here.

Another thing was the housing issue. Dorms had been built at the factory right next door, and there were rooms for couples, but it wasn\'t like at state-owned factories where whoever was assigned a room it belonged to them indefinitely. Here, the dorms were only provided during the period of employment, so if they decided to find another path and stop working at the factory, naturally the housing would be reclaimed as well.

Zhou Nan had already discussed this matter with An Jingzhi beforehand, so she understood these points. She was thinking that after New Year\'s when she went to visit relatives, she would bring it up to her two brothers to see what they thought.

Although they could also do carpentry work to earn money in the village, most payment was in grain and produce, and the actual cash they got was very limited, and prices were not going up either.

If they could really come work in the city, with the current situation, even just the minimum monthly wage was 30-some yuan - that would be far better than farming in the countryside over years and years of work.

After Zhou Nan left, Zhi Xia called Wu Lei.

The other parts for assembling electric fans were all prepared, they just lacked one induction chip, which was also the fan\'s most crucial control component.

Wu Lei was also extremely anxious - the supplier they had a contract with could no longer be reached, even after several days of searching.

In fact, things like this were very common in Shen City\'s side of the business - there were even gangs who specialized in scamming people looking to get rich.

The supplier Wu Lei found had supplied a small workshop for a long period of time, and because they were afraid the supplies wouldn\'t be delivered after everything else was ready, some of the earlier fan blade shipments still hadn\'t been paid off yet.

Even considering everything, they didn\'t expect the other party would choose to disappear at this point, truly incomprehensible that they would be willing to take a loss like this.

Of course, with the dimensional trading hub as a backup, Zhi Xia could avoid taking a huge loss on the investment so far.

To put it another way, if she wasn\'t confident she had no grudges against the supplier, she would suspect their goal was to sabotage her.

Zhi Xia hurried to the factory to get a set of fan blades, and placed an order for a batch of induction chips with the interdimensional farming tycoon.

In the modern interdimensional world, all kinds of things could be purchased.

Her original plan was to get the factory running first, then establish an R&D department, but now it seemed that if she wanted to grasp the initiative herself, she couldn\'t rely on others.

After thinking through this matter, Zhi Xia called Wu Lei again and asked him to try recruiting talent in this area from abroad, but attracting foreign talent would surely require no small expense.

Money was no object for the wealthy Zhi Xia - what she lacked was people and technology. She promised that as long as the technology was sound, she could pay based on the R&D results.

As long as the benefits were attractive enough, she wasn\'t worried people wouldn\'t be willing to come. Wu Lei immediately started looking for candidates.

With the export of Jiao Yan abroad, they were now an influential company in Shen City, and received a lot of government support.

Wu Lei had also risen with the tide - he was no longer the decadent figure from his Jin City days. Whether connections or relationships, he now held quite a bit in his hands.

The Gao family - Gao Dalin was discussing matters with Gao Second Sister.

"Second sister, it seems Pei JianGuo is somewhat out of control now. What do you think we should do about it? Should we abandon this piece on the game board?"

"We can\'t yet. Pei JianGuo being suddenly transferred to the Construction Bureau and valued greatly by higher leadership, we\'ll inevitably have dealings with the Construction Bureau as we move into real estate next. And we still need Pei JianGuo as a piece before we obtain Zhi Xia\'s appliance factory, otherwise it will be troublesome if we want to develop in Jin City in the future."

Unless they had even harder connections in the Construction Bureau, but clearly they didn\'t.

This also surprised Gao Second Sister quite a bit - according to the records of those objects, Pei JianGuo should have just been an insignificant secretary in the government before resigning to go into business in the 90s, even losing all his family assets in the process. If not for Pei Jing salvaging the situation, he probably couldn\'t even afford meals in his later years.

But he was suddenly transferred to work at the Construction Bureau, and with Jin City as one of the real estate pilot cities, the powers of that position, if utilized well, were no worse than what they had struggled for all these years.

"So what should we do? He\'s becoming less and less patient with you, doesn\'t come around as often recently, and his attitude is much poorer than before. Seems to me you might as well just agree to marry him - with his current position, even if he amounts to nothing more, we won\'t be at a loss." Gao Dalin calculated. "It\'s just that he has a son, which would be unfair to you."

This time, Gao Second Sister didn\'t stubbornly reject the idea like before, but seriously considered the feasibility of this matter.

She had never cared about feelings or lack thereof. What she valued more was benefit - the benefit Pei JianGuo could currently bring her.
