Chapter 2097
When a woman gets ruthless, men have nothing to do with her.
When all hope seems lost, a turning point is likely to come.
Yan Jiekuang wasn't without other options; he had one last one.
Xu Damao's son, Xu Shengli, is doing quite well in the south.
If he goes there, he might be able to get a stable job.
However, there is a special case here.
When his business grew significantly last year, he wasn't very friendly to Xu Damao.
When he first received the wholesale business, he asked Xu Damao for advice, but Xu Damao exposed his true thoughts.
Since then, the Yan family has essentially turned against Xu Damao.
Later, he made money through the wholesale business and made several veiled criticisms of Xu Damao.
Furthermore, he spoke ill of Xu Damao several times in front of the leaders at the toy factory who dealt with him.
To be honest, Yan Jiekuang's goal at the time was to squeeze Xu Damao's business out of the market.
On Xiushui Street, he was the only one who held absolute power.
He can definitely earn much more money.
Xu Damao, that old fox, has far more interpersonal skills than someone like Yan Jiekuang.
Those toy factory leaders might outwardly agree with his contempt and slander of Xu Damao.
Turning around, she might have said those words to Xu Damao.
This is why Yan Jiekuang was unlucky while Xu Damao was excited.
Now he's thinking of asking Xu Shengli for help and having the chubby guy make arrangements.
It's easy to imagine that the chubby boy would send a telegram home to consult with Xu Damao.
If they fail to get help, the consequences will be dire.
It's worth noting that the chubby boy currently works in a toy factory.
Yan Jiekuang must have felt regret when he thought about all this.
If I had known he would end up like this, I would have definitely tried to appease Xu Damao back then.
At least they won't fall out with Xu Damao.
To be honest, the second generation in the old courtyard didn't learn any of their parents' cunning and shrewdness.
They always do trivial things without considering the consequences.
In their past lives, after the reform and opening up, when the Yan and Liu families were doing business with Xu Damao, they were the first to cheat him.
He cheated others, didn't even close the deal, and didn't make any money, yet he stopped being polite and courteous to Xu Damao.
There was absolutely no secrecy.
As a result, a single tip-off call from Xu Damao nearly led to the ruin of both the Liu and Yan families.
It can be said that Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui ended up having to rely on Sha Zhu for their old age because they were tricked by that incident.
Then you can't blame Xu Damao for being vindictive.
It's all because those second-generation rich kids in the old compound are too stupid.
Those with brains get into trouble, those without brains try to smooth things over.
They're too short-sighted, only focusing on the smallest, most insignificant gains.
Nothing has changed in this lifetime.
"Hey buddy!"
There's a great place, would you like to go?
They're also hiring odd jobs in that small southern town.
A skilled worker earns five yuan a day, while a laborer earns three yuan.
I see you're an educated man, so besides doing the work, could you help us with the bookkeeping?
If you come with me, I can put in a good word for you and get you an apprenticeship, where you can earn four dollars a day.
"A man with yellow teeth leaned close to Yan Jiekuang and whispered.
This man was also a day laborer, but he brought seven or eight fellow villagers with him.
He's a small-time contractor.
His skills weren't great, but he was paid the wages of a master craftsman, and he could even squeeze a penny or two out of his fellow villagers every day.
As construction began in the south, all sorts of new ideas started to emerge.
In theory, as long as you have people under your command, you won't be short of work in the South right now. Of course, the local crackdown on these vagrants is a matter of varying degrees of strictness.
Yan Jiekuang was slightly tempted upon hearing this.
After finding a place to stay, he has already explored several foreign-owned factories in Guangcheng.
Some are not hiring temporarily, while others are transferred through the local labor department...
He definitely won't go to the labor department to register.
He is currently an unregistered resident in Guangcheng.
It requires official registration, but it's fine for people from other places.
Places like western Hunan are still relatively underdeveloped, so many people come from those areas.
Those who went from Beijing to the south to look for work were too obvious.
He might register, and they might immediately send his information to the capital for investigation.
He originally had his eye on the newspaper recruitment method that foreign companies initially used.
In other words, foreign-owned factories are the main recruiters, and the recruits are highly qualified talents from society.
His past experience of being admitted to university makes him a very competitive candidate.
It would be much more reasonable to register with the local street office once a job offer is finalized.
These days, there aren't nationwide networks like those, so unless it's a major issue, nobody really investigates it.
Unlike Liu Guangqi, who had locals who took him in and made it much easier for him to get temporary residence permits, he was also different.
Besides, although Liu Guangqi also came over because of a problem, he has no problems at all.
Being fired from your job is really no big deal in the open city of Guangzhou.
Since there's no chance in Guangcheng, perhaps a smaller, equally open southern town could be a good opportunity.
After all, that area is closer to Hong Kong Island and is considered a major gathering place for Hong Kong businessmen.
Thinking of this, Yan Jiekuang nodded and agreed to help Da Huangya.
It was by sheer coincidence that the team that sent Big Yellow Teeth there was a construction team building a residential area for the He Group.
Hearing He Yuzhu's advice, He Xinghua decided to put aside the matter of organizing production for the time being and focus on building the workers' living and recreational areas.
Furthermore, they proactively introduced the mainland's labor union system into the factory.
Even if he doesn't take the initiative, the local government will require them to do so.
It can be said that He Xinghua did these things because he was willing to spend more money to resolve any potential conflicts from the outset.
We need to establish a good working relationship with the mainland first before we can even think about production and making money.
Such a choice is definitely not worthwhile for small business owners.
They're all about quick in and quick out, hoping to recoup their investment and make a profit the next day.
But for a group as large as the Ho Group, that's no big deal.
The dormitory area was always going to be built; it was just a matter of time.
The so-called entertainment area these days is just two cement fields built for the workers to play basketball.
Buy a few ping-pong tables so the workers have more activities to do.
Spending an extra few hundred thousand yuan can leave an impression on the mainland that they value workers.
This will definitely be of great benefit to the future development of the He Group.
The next morning, Yan Jiekuang was running towards a small southern town with a group of strangers.
At this time, in the inner city of Beijing, under the shade of a tree at the entrance of a park, a burly woman carrying a swaddled baby on her back was confronting a burly man with fire tongs in her hand.
The woman glared at him and muttered, "Baldy Hu, you know your mother's a local tyrant."
Every day, everyone has to give you the best spot.
But not with my mother.
If you're so capable, go back to your stall, grab a knife, and chop me up with one stroke.
Otherwise, get the hell out of here.
"Don't get in my way of doing business." (End of Chapter)
