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

Chapter 615 Don't Invest Too Much Emotion, A Helpless Compromise

In its previous life, Daohuaxiang's brand was ruined by someone for two reasons: first, due to licensing issues, and second, due to improper operation.

Yu Dawei's words made Duan Dahai fall into deep thought; talent in market development is indeed very important.

The two men exchanged a glance, then simultaneously turned their gazes toward Boss Liang, making him feel uneasy.

"Why are you two looking at me like that! I'm not going!" Boss Liang quickly shook his head and explained, "My wife just gave birth to my precious daughter, I definitely can't go!"

“But right now, no one can compare to you in terms of market development.” Duan Dahai looked at Boss Liang hopefully. “Here’s what we’ll do: if you go, the agency rights for Daohuaxiang in Shenzhen and the entire Guangdong and Guangxi region will be given to you.”

"Ah, this..." Boss Liang suddenly fell into a dilemma. On the one hand, he could see the potential of Daohuaxiang. In less than two months, some of his employees had already made a fortune.

Furthermore, the rice market in the south is indeed easier to operate, since the local rice there is simply not competitive. If you bring Daohuaxiang rice there, it would be like a father beating his son.

But if he goes, he'll have to move south with his wife and kids... What will happen to his business here?!

Yu Dawei seemed to have seen through Boss Liang's dilemma and took the initiative to speak up: "Going to the South doesn't mean you have to stay there all the time. It just means you're in charge of developing the market. As long as you follow the model you have in your local area, lead your team to develop the market, and then find a reliable person to manage the brand."

"Once you have the provincial agency rights, it's not a big deal to delegate them to city agencies."

In an instant, Boss Liang had a sudden realization!

"Not only that, after you go to Shenzhen, you can also find Jiang Shang. He is now the CEO of Wanjia. Considering that we are from the same hometown, he can quickly help you promote our Daohuaxiang products." Duan Dahai patted Boss Liang's shoulder and said earnestly, "Old Liang, you can use Shenzhen as your base and then expand to the surrounding areas. You will definitely be able to promote our Daohuaxiang products within a year."

Jiang Shang is Jiang Erdanzi, the one who sent Brother Claw and Brother Biao to work for Yu Dawei. Yu Dawei only found out about it from Brother Biao last year.

After returning to Shenzhen, the other party has been constantly outwitting and outmaneuvering others, and was even placed under house arrest for several years. According to Brother Biao, it seems to be due to issues related to the group's equity.

However, Jiang Shang eventually resolved the matter. He had once sent a girl named Su Xiaoxiao to prison, and after she came out, the two of them somehow ended up together.

The former sister-in-law and brother-in-law are now a quietly married couple.

Brother Claw and Brother Biao were invited by Brother Erdan. I wanted to ask them if they had any intention of returning to his side to help. Now that Brother Erdan is considered the real boss of the group, the situation has stabilized.

However, they were rejected by Claw and Zhang Biao. The reason was simple: although the two of them worked hard driving cars with their team every day, their lives were simple. Besides, they were both married with children, and their children were even attending kindergarten in town.

They've already settled in Luhe and don't want to leave again.

It was during the time when Yu Dawei was spending the Spring Festival in Qingcheng in the south that he heard Erdan's voice for the first time in a long time. The other party's voice was much hoarse than before, and if the other party did not introduce himself, Yu Dawei would not have been able to recognize that it was actually Erdan's voice.

That night, Yu Dawei heard many stories from Erdan, about being coerced, tortured, surviving against all odds, and finally turning defeat into victory.

However, the price was quite high. His entire esophagus was sabotaged, and his legs went from being disabled to needing to walk with a single crutch.

Erdan also said he was very grateful to Mr. Ye, who is now Boss Ye in the United States, because Mr. Ye had once helped him when he was on the verge of death, which truly saved Erdan's life.

In short, after several years of hardship, the good times have finally come.

Just as I had heard in my previous life, Jiang Erdanzi from the Jiang family in Jiangxiagou, Team 5 of Heshan Village, became the CEO of Jierun Group in Shenzhen, and owned many supermarkets and the like.

"Brother Duan, how was Erdan's health when you saw him last time?" Yu Dawei asked, raising his wine glass.

"He's fine, but he has a full head of white hair, uses a cane, and looks quite old," Duan Dahai recounted truthfully.

Yu Dawei fell silent. Even though he already knew that Erdan was not doing well, he still couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness when he heard that the other man had a full head of white hair.

"Hey, don't worry, when I get there I'll definitely show you guys our Brother Erdan." Seeing that Yu Dawei was in a bad mood, Boss Liang took the initiative to raise his glass and clink it with his.

"You're just taking advantage of her, she's younger than you." Duan Dahai rolled his eyes, but didn't stop drinking.

"Haha, that doesn't stop me from calling him Brother Erdan."

"Shameless..."

"Shameless +1"

The dormitory and repair shop in Fanfan's repair shop have been changed several times in the past two years, but the only thing that has remained unchanged is the small brick house facing the gate.

This is the small brick and tile house that Duan Dahai built himself when he was running a waste recycling station, and he also used concrete.

This is also where Yu Dawei has been working, sleeping, and drinking and chatting with friends since he bought the courtyard.

It's just that I don't know how many more gatherings like this will happen.

As the business grew, the three of them became increasingly busy. It would probably take Yu Dawei a few years to allow Fanfan Repair Shop to operate independently in Luhe Town and move the workforce to the oil city.

Duan Dahai's flour mill has also opened several branches in other cities in Heilongjiang Province, and its scale is gradually expanding. In addition, since the main production area of ​​Daohuaxiang is in Qiqihar, in order to facilitate management in the future, it is possible that only the flour mill in Luhe will be left to operate independently.

He then led his core team to continue expanding the market.

After his parts business ruined him, Lao Liang started acting as an agent for various branded small commodities, essentially turning his business into a department store.

Now he mainly targets small department stores and supermarkets; you can find all kinds of things by contacting him, as his warehouse has everything.

Furthermore, Yu Dawei rented one of the two large warehouses that he had acquired from Fang Jing to Comrade Lao Liang, whose department store business has been thriving for the past two years.

Of course, this wouldn't have been possible without the help of Duan Dahai and Yu Dawei's investments, as well as Li Fubao, who runs a jewelry business, also investing.

Yu Dawei had promised Lao Liang that if he ever expanded his department store business and needed further financing, he could help him find a wealthy patron.

However, Lao Liang wasn't the kind of person who couldn't get enough money. When they were drinking and talking about the department store business that night, Lao Liang said that once he took over Shenzhen, he would semi-retire, since the money he had earned was enough for his retirement.

Everyone has their own ideas, and both Yu Dawei and Duan Dahai expressed their respect. However, Duan Dahai couldn't stop. He had many people working for him who were waiting for him to make a living, and he didn't want to let down the Daohuaxiang brand that Yu Dawei had helped him find. He sincerely hoped to promote Daohuaxiang so that people all over the country could enjoy it.

Yu Dawei, however, still has some regrettable issues that remain unresolved.

He wanted to take two more steps forward. As long as his wife and children were by his side, he had nothing to worry about.

January has arrived, and the children in the countryside have already started their winter vacation early. Yu Muyu has also started first grade.

Perhaps he feels like a little adult, because he likes to wash his own clothes and underwear, even though there is a washing machine at home. Yu Dawei doesn't understand why he insists on hand-washing them.

In the end, it was his mother, Han Jingfan, who took the clothes he had washed and put them in the washing machine again.

Nowadays, there are fewer people in the village. Many of Yu Dawei's generation have chosen to work in the city, and migrant workers have become increasingly common in this era.

Besides these, there are the children of migrant workers, who carry a stigma.

Yu Dawei recalled watching a skit about migrant workers' children studying in the city one year, and it was quite heartbreaking to watch.

Because people in the city look down on migrant workers, and by extension, they also look down on the children of migrant workers.

Yu Dawei had transferred Yu Muyu to another school for a semester in order to give his eldest son a good education. However, it was because of that transfer that his son developed a strong sense of inferiority and became extremely sensitive in personality after he grew up and entered society.

In the past two years, in addition to young able-bodied men leaving the village, some elderly people have also left to live with their children.

On Yu Dawei's side, firstly, the elderly couple went to Sixth Sister's house to help take care of the children for several years. Sixth Sister was in poor health and lived in a remote village called Tarqi, at the foot of the Arshan Mountains in Hohhot.

Sixth Sister almost lost half her life after giving birth. Auntie loved Sixth Sister the most, and after hearing the news, she couldn't sit still. Within two days, she took Uncle and some other things and went to that poor mountain valley north of Xing'an League.

This stay lasted for two years.

Besides the elderly couple, Yu Dawei's father and mother, Zhang Yunqin, also passed away. They were probably frightened by Sixth Sister's impending childbirth. Although Mulunhe Town, where Eryan lived, was much better than Sixth Sister's poor mountain village, the medical conditions were still not reassuring.

After learning that Er Yan was pregnant, the elderly couple did not delay any longer and took their train tickets to Mulunhe Town.

The old man also found a job as a security guard at the farm.

It can be said that most of Yu Dawei's real relatives in Yujiatun have passed away. Judging from the situation in the previous life, the population of Yujiatun will continue to dwindle.

There's nothing we can do; this place is just too poor.

The family next door to the old man, the family that Yu Dawei also called Second Brother, had a youngest son who later got married, but not long after, his wife ran away, leaving behind a baby girl.

"Dawei, the snow on the toilet in the backyard is too thick. We need to clean it when we have time, otherwise it might collapse." Han Jingfan walked in with the child, carrying a basket of corn cobs in her right hand.

"Okay, I'll go in a bit." Yu Dawei reached out and took the corn cobs, throwing them into the stove little by little, and then weighed down with coal.

The couple were worried that their parents' old house in the backyard would go out of business if they didn't live there for a long time, so they would come to stay overnight at the old house every few days.

Anyway, the house had everything: blankets, pots and pans for cooking, and in October, Yu Dawei even replaced the stove with a new one that was a bit bigger in diameter, which made it very warm.

If the coal is pressed down at night, there's no need to worry about the house being too cold the next morning.

Xiao Muyu loves to put coal into the stove, and now she has become the boiler manager of the family's boiler.

Vice Captain Han Jingfan, Team Member Yu Dawei.

Appointed by Xiao Muyu.

The worst part is that this guy is even imitating Yu Dawei when he was at the company, occasionally holding meetings for the two team members, which makes the couple both laugh and cry.

"By the way, you'll have to take care of the kids tomorrow and the day after. There are some things I need to take care of at the tutoring center in town." Han Jingfan took off her coat and turned to look at Yu Dawei with some embarrassment.

Since He Huihui stopped coming back, she has had to take on all the responsibilities of the kindergarten and tutoring center that she and He Huihui jointly ran. Fortunately, she has the help of Boss Liang's sister-in-law, who has shared a lot of the burden.

Otherwise, Han Jingfan wouldn't even have time to return to the village.

He Huihui also taught Han Jingfan some management skills and how to cultivate management talent. If she could cultivate a capable manager, Han Jingfan wouldn't need to worry about anything else.

Moreover, He Huihui didn't take the children's training school in Luhe Town too seriously. It was mainly out of interest; she would keep it running if it could, and if it couldn't, she would just quit.

Anyway, I've already made back the money I invested back, with interest.

However, Han Jingfan was not the kind of person who would easily give up. Besides, it was the only bilingual kindergarten in town, as well as the only tutoring center and extracurricular activity center. Han Jingfan didn't want the children to suddenly be left without any school to attend.

Over the course of the year, Han Jingfan steadily promoted the talent attraction plan. With the help of his sister-in-law Xu Guiling, almost all the talented people in the county came here to teach. The salary was not low, the workload was easy, and the internal environment was quite good. It was a good place.

“Go ahead, leave the child to me.” Yu Dawei squatted by the stove, adding firewood as he spoke to Han Jingfan. He hesitated for a moment, then advised his wife again, “My dear wife, I still suggest you don’t invest too much emotion in the kindergarten’s extracurricular classes. We might have to leave town at any time.”

"Didn't the leaders say before that Luhe Town was expanding and would become a county? Didn't you and Brother Duan agree that you two would expand the factory after the expansion?" Han Jingfan squatted down to take off Xiao Muyu's coat.

"Sigh, they've been arrested. The population is disappearing too fast. It was possible when the town was more populous, but now it's absolutely impossible." Yu Dawei and Duan Dahai had also thought about building up their hometown.

However, it's too remote and has limited space, so any expansion would just leave it as a slightly larger empty shell, which is really unnecessary.

The town leaders were also trying to find a solution. They knew that given the current situation, they simply couldn't keep Yu Dawei and Duan Dahai, these two big shots, but they were indeed powerless to do so.

Nothing can be done.
