In 1992, a small village owner became the richest man in the village by owning a car.

Chapter 598 Peace talks? No way!

"That's right! Brother, think it over carefully! If you want to make big money, if you want to grow and make money quickly, come to me!" Boss Liang felt that he still had a chance, so he quickly said everything again.

When Qian Yin heard what Yu Dawei said, he hesitated for a moment, as if choosing to work for Boss Liang was the best option!

Actually, for Comrade Xiao Qian, no matter which side he chooses, he can brag about this interview for the rest of his life.

Having three bosses personally interview you, answer your questions, and even provide career planning is an absolutely unique privilege.

Perhaps one day in the future, when the three bosses accidentally become giants in their respective industries, Qian Yin will surely be glad that he was so reckless and even reckless as to pass on the message to them.

Or rather, the workers in the grain depot were fortunate, as long as they took the initiative to come for the interview; otherwise, they might have faced endless regret.

"I... I still want to work for Boss Yu, hehe." Qian Yin scratched his head and chuckled awkwardly. He looked at Boss Liang, who was looking at him expectantly, with some embarrassment.

"You! Never mind." Boss Liang was speechless and could only silently drink his tea to ease the awkwardness. He knew that what followed was a matter between Yu Dawei and this young man.

It's heartbreaking. I never imagined that the first person to apply would slip through my fingers like this.

"Alright, since it's your own choice, you have to work hard for it from now on." Yu Dawei patted the young man's shoulder to encourage him since he was next to him. "I'll arrange for you to work at an parts store later, mainly in management and sales."

"Okay, then I'll go back and resign!" Qian Yin put down his teacup and got up to return to the grain depot.

"Wait!" Yu Dawei reached out and grabbed the other person. "I suggest you don't rush. Your Lao Yang has actually been looking for a way out for you. It's not too late to resign after a few days and see what the situation is. Besides, if you come to work for me, you basically won't have time to do part-time jobs in the village anymore."

"So take advantage of these few days of free time to properly handle the things you have on hand."

"Understood, boss. I'll get back and get it done." Qian Yin left these words in a hurry.

Yu Dawei watched the other man return to the grain depot. Whether the kid would get beaten up when he got back depended on his reputation at the grain depot over the past two years.

As for advising the other party to postpone his resignation, Yu Dawei was genuinely concerned for him. He seemed to recall that Lao Yang had helped the people at the grain depot apply for early retirement and also provided them with insurance while they were on temporary assignment.

In other words, even if things don't go well for the workers in the grain depot, they can still receive a decent monthly pension when they reach old age.

It's hard to say what extent Lao Yang can actually achieve now, since the timing isn't right.

Everything depends on Lao Yang himself.

"Sigh, I never thought your brother-in-law was such a scoundrel. He's even trying to sabotage things when it comes to getting things done by his own relatives."

As soon as Qian Yin left, Boss Liang couldn't help but complain while drinking tea. He had told them everything Qian Yin had said about the grain depot, and it was clear that Liu Liguo was the one who was interfering.

Boss Liang is someone who can't keep secrets; he speaks his mind without considering whether Yu Dawei will be upset or saddened.

“Sigh, there are all kinds of people in this world. Even brothers can fight each other over some property, let alone strangers like this. Dawei, you have to relax.” Duan Dahai was quite thoughtful. He peeled the sweet potato with both hands, then broke off a piece and handed it to Yu Dawei.

The dog-skin hat was on Yu Dawei's head, and he was sweating slightly from the heat. He first took off the hat and put it aside, then reached out and took the roasted sweet potato. He smiled calmly and said, "This is how my sister-in-law is. I've known for a long time that this is how she is, and she actually has her reasons for doing this."

“He came to me a while ago and asked me to talk to you and arrange for him to be a junior manager at the flour mill or something.” Yu Dawei said while eating, looking at Lao Duan. “But with his personality, he’s not the kind of person who does real work. He’s the kind of person who just wants to coast along and wait to die. I rejected him on the spot.”

"It seems he's holding a grudge now." Yu Dawei crossed his legs, leaned back in his chair, and sneered. "It doesn't matter. No matter what he does, it won't affect our plans. As for whether Lao Yang can figure things out, it's been irrelevant ever since we started recruiting here."

"That's right, these people at the grain depot really don't have many choices." Duan Dahai took a sip of tea, his gaze fixed on the grain depot with a hint of sigh.

He sees things more clearly than those around him, and having lived in Luhe Town for so many years, he knows all too well what unemployment means in Luhe Town.

When the flour mill closed down, what happened to the workers who used to work in the town? Some of them were from rural areas, and they simply took their wives and children back to live in the countryside.

There's no other way; you can't survive in this town without some skills. You can't even be a small vendor because Luhe Town is too small and doesn't have the capacity.

Some people who had always lived in the town even left their homes and families, some going to the city, and others going directly to the oil city to find work.

If it weren't for him, Yu Dawei, and Lao Liang holding things back, the people in the granary would have ended up in a similar situation to those in the granary before.

While the three people here lamented the town's small size and the difficulty in finding work, the people at the grain depot were going crazy.

Because Qian Yin was called to Lao Yang's office as soon as he returned, Liu Liguo directly and severely criticized Qian Yin in front of Lao Yang, saying that he disregarded the collective and was selfish!
Qian Yin was young and hot-blooded. Knowing Liu Liguo's usual tricks and shady dealings, he didn't hold back and directly confronted him in front of everyone!
The argument escalated to the point where they came to blows. One difference between Northeasterners and Southerners is that when they argue, they can never stop.

You say something, I'll retort with something back. If I can't win the argument, fine! Then I'll take you down!
Fortunately, the workers at the grain depot were all present, and they quickly separated the two men.

Qian Yin also expressed his thoughts in front of everyone. He felt that the grain depot was doomed sooner or later because of someone like Liu Liguo. Rather than waiting here to fend for themselves, it was better to seize the opportunity now.

He left without looking back after he finished speaking. He belonged to the third team, and the team leader, Chang Le, was also there. However, among the team leaders, Chang Le was the one with a softer personality.

He could mediate disputes and share joys and sorrows with his brothers, but he was soft-hearted and disliked fighting. He didn't express his opinion on what Lao Yang and Liu Liguo said, and just did whatever they said, showing no sense of responsibility as a captain.

So after Qian Yin left, he didn't even look at Chang Le's expression. This guy couldn't protect his subordinates in normal times, let alone now.

There's a saying that goes, "A bad soldier is a bad soldier, but a bad general makes a bad army."

The second team led by Zhao Hu, however, were all similar to Zhao Hu in temperament—not afraid of trouble. After Qian Yin left, they secretly followed him to inquire which factory he had applied to and what kind of salary he was offered. Subsequently, other people also secretly went to inquire, as if they had a strong urge to do so. Now that they saw Qian Yin had successfully been interviewed, they were even more eager to apply themselves.

In the meeting room next to the grain depot, only Lao Yang and Liu Liguo were present. He looked at Liu Liguo with some resentment: "What are you arguing with a kid about! You're a grown man!"

“He’s over twenty, is he still a child? My son isn’t as bad as him.” Liu Liguo looked at Lao Yang, pursed his lips and continued to put pressure on him, “Now that this kid has successfully interviewed, some people must be getting restless! Lao Yang, if we hadn’t kept him in check earlier, more people would have gone to interview him.”

"If you ask me, you should just fire that Qian Yin kid in front of everyone!" Liu Liguo hated Qian Yin to death, and wanted to expose his dirty secrets in front of everyone! He deserved to die!
"Let me think about it some more." Old Yang paced back and forth in the conference room. "Here's what you do: take a few people and go have a good talk with Yu Dawei. Don't be too harsh. Try to create an opportunity for us to back down gracefully."

Old Yang said this so that Liu Liguo could approach Yu Dawei as a relative, thus giving himself a way out, and then have a proper talk with the three of them.

Old Yang understood the situation perfectly well; it was like boiling a frog in lukewarm water. The three people outside, gathered around the stove brewing tea, had no intention of caring about the lives of the people at the grain depot anymore.

Furthermore, Liu Liguo was unaware that the higher-ups had secretly told him that Yu Dawei and Duan Dahai were beyond his control; they were merely suggesting that the grain depot help solve its future employment problems.

The town had already indicated that the land north of Luhe Town, adjacent to the highway, would be a key development area over the next ten years, and the two individuals would have priority to relocate their factories or build new ones.

The leaders were very blunt. You, Lao Yang, didn't cherish the opportunity that was obtained through a roundabout means. Do you really think that private enterprises are the same as state-owned enterprises?

People could have listened or not, and in the end you just ruined things. It's all thanks to Duan Dahai and his friends for their kindness and for choosing to help the grain depot solve some hidden problems again, otherwise the leaders would have been furious.

After realizing the seriousness of the problem, Lao Yang didn't dare to act rashly. It wasn't that he was without resources, and the town leaders could only offer suggestions. Whether or not the grain depot existed was a matter for his direct superiors to discuss.

The reason why the leaders spared no effort to help was to try to solve the local people's livelihood problems.

Old Yang saw this very clearly.

But now he understands that continuing to be tough is pointless. Perhaps softening his stance and letting the three outsiders take over all the people in the grain depot wouldn't be so bad. As for salaries, he could compromise a little.

"Old Yang? How could you let me down at a time like this!" Liu Liguo grabbed Old Yang's arm and whispered in his ear, "That Yu Dawei is rich. I'm his brother-in-law, how could I not know? Just from the factory and his car maintenance, he makes several million a year! Really!"

"Several million! Can he spend it all by himself? Even if we brothers ask for more wages, he won't lose much!" Liu Liguo was really trying to persuade him, just so that he could pay more money after he went in.

"Alright! The money they earn is their own skill. How much we earn in the future will also depend on our own abilities." Old Yang said seriously, glancing sideways at Liu Liguo. "If you want to do this job for a long time, you have to put away those useless little schemes. You've been with me for so many years, and I've never let you suffer losses at the grain depot. You really need to learn from this and not let someone more than twenty years younger than you say you're a scoundrel."

Old Yang's words contained both admonition and advice. Finally, he waved to Liu Liguo, who was about to argue, indicating that the other party should find a few people to go to Yu Dawei's side.

He was quite confident in Liu Liguo's social skills; he didn't ask for much, just that Liu Liguo wouldn't embarrass himself.

He didn't care how the rest of the discussion went.

But before that, he had something else to do.

After leaving the meeting room, Lao Yang went to the archives room and took out the employees' files one by one, arranging them according to their different ages.

Finally, we opened each file one by one and reorganized the personnel list, especially for employees who had performed well in the filing process, and wrote down their experiences in detail.

He did this for two reasons. He was nearing retirement age anyway, and he didn't have the same obsession with the flour mill that Director Yu had with the mill he had led all those years.

Before retiring, making sure everyone under his command was settled was Yang Jianjun's last wish.

I ask for nothing else.

He had originally planned to keep the grain depot running for a few more years, but now that Yu Da is backing them up, it's really unnecessary.

Once things are settled here, he will go south to find his eldest son. His eldest son lives on Le Island in the south, a coastal city. He has never seen the sea since he was born.

"Hi~"

As Yang Jianjun was writing on the table, a sharp pain suddenly shot through his chest. He instinctively clutched his chest and pressed hard on the spot, breaking out in a cold sweat. It took him a long time to recover.

These days, because of the grain depot incident, he hasn't been eating or sleeping well, and he's been experiencing angina much more frequently than before.

However, he didn't pay much attention to it. He took out a quick-acting heart pill from his pocket, put it under his tongue, and felt better after a while. He then continued working.

Outside the door, Liu Liguo became angrier and angrier after coming out of the toilet. He was furious at Qian Yin's betrayal and for publicly cursing him!
He was angry at Lao Yang's weakness, that he was ready to back down so quickly.

What's even more infuriating is that Dawei is truly despicable, actually bringing people to block the entrance!

Want him to help facilitate communication? No way! How could Liu Liguo accept not getting the money and position he deserved? He was, after all, a minor leader in a state-owned enterprise!

"Let's go! Brothers, come with me outside and meet Yu Dawei and his gang. Old Yang just said we can't let Yu Dawei and his gang cause trouble at the grain depot gate!"

As soon as Liu Liguo entered the office, he started working on the resting workers. There were about a dozen people in the room, and he would go outside to call the third team later.

As for Zhao Hu and the others, Liu Liguo didn't get along with them and didn't want to call them.

When the group heard about Lao Yang's idea, they all stood up. After all, this was a grain depot, and they couldn't let Lao Yang and the grain depot lose face.
