Era: I was a farmer at the foot of Yaoling Mountain

Pan Lianhua and her sister were both very happy. The New Year should be lively and festive. In previous years, the two families of brothers would usually have a reunion dinner together, and this year was no exception.

However, the group company has not yet given a holiday, so Fang Wei and Fang Ping still have to go to the company for two more days.

Fang Wei still had some official business to attend to, so Fang Ping took this opportunity to report to the group company.

They didn't need to worry about preparing for the New Year; just tending to the lotus and osmanthus flowers was enough. The market had an abundance of goods; with money, what couldn't you buy? It wasn't the old days of ration coupons anymore.

After two busy days, the Fang brothers also joined the purchasing team.

As Lunar New Year's Eve approached, the commune slaughtered a pig for the New Year and then sent pork, ducks, and chickens via a logistics company. Other items like cured meat and dried bamboo shoots were also brought along; there should be enough for the New Year.

"Third Brother, it's almost time. Hurry up and go to the airport to pick up Tingting and her family."

The day before Lunar New Year's Eve, Tingting and Taotao's families arrived one after another.

Fang Wei went to the airport to pick up Tingting's family, while Binbin drove to the train station to pick up Tao Tao's family and his sister Xiao Jie. By the time they had their New Year's Eve dinner, there wasn't enough room at the table.

In the end, the problem was solved by putting the two tables together.

There's no need to worry about accommodations at all. Fang Wei and his son each have a large villa, so these people can be easily accommodated.

This was the first time the two brothers had spent the Lunar New Year away from home, and the large number of people at home made it especially lively.

Fang Wei and Fang Ping leisurely sipped their drinks, while the children ran around inside and outside the house. Unfortunately, fireworks and firecrackers were banned in the main urban area of ​​Guangzhou, and the lack of the smell of gunpowder in the air made the two of them feel somewhat uncomfortable.

After eating and drinking their fill, those who like watching the Spring Festival Gala will go to watch TV, while those who don't like watching TV will play cards indoors.

Xuemei felt a little sleepy due to her health condition, so Binbin accompanied his wife back to rest early. Tingting, not wanting to disturb the pregnant woman's rest, also went back to sleep early. The whole family stayed at Binbin's place that night.

Fang Ping and his wife, along with Tao Tao's family, stayed at Fang Wei's place. No one was sleepy, and they kept making noise until 2 a.m. before finally resting.

the next day.

Fang Wei and Pan Lianhua accompanied everyone to the flower market, where the streets were packed with people, a unique sight in the area.

Staying cooped up at home all the time during the Lunar New Year is no fun; going out for a walk can make you feel happy.

Guangzhou is a city steeped in history, with many places worth visiting. Except for Xue Mei, who has mobility issues, everyone else had a wonderful time during the Spring Festival, keeping busy and enjoying themselves immensely.

Unfortunately, the holiday was too short. Tao Tao and Ting Ting's families left first, followed by Fang Ping and Tian Guihua returning to the county.

Xiao Jie was the last to leave. The company had a longer holiday, and it was nearby, so she could get to Shenzhen in just a few hours.

After the holiday, Fang Wei also started working at the group company.

We've had many meetings these past few days, covering topics such as the development plans and production schedules of our subsidiaries. Finally, the board of directors reviewed and approved the year-end financial statements for the previous year.

The previous year's dividends have been distributed, with a standard of 5400 yuan per person. In addition, 20% of the total dividends will be allocated to cooperative expenses.

After a busy week, Fang Weicai and Pan Lianhua returned to the village.

The older sister will stay in Yangcheng to take care of Liu Xuemei. Liu Xuemei's parents will come after the spring, at which time the older sister can go back and rest for a while.

After returning, Fang Wei first went to Qinghe County to inspect the spring planting preparations at the Qinghe rice planting base.

“Secretary Fang, the base is not yet fully equipped, but it will not affect the spring planting. We plan to increase our efforts in building various facilities after the rice transplanting is completed, and make sure it is fully completed before the summer harvest.”

The person in charge of the base reported the relevant situation to Fang Wei. The company has already made a plan, and all that is needed is to strictly implement it.

The person in charge seemed very confident about the spring planting work.

He used to be the farm manager at Yangshan Farm, and now that he's been transferred to Qinghe County, it's just a change of location. The job is still the same, and he believes he can do it well.

"You all know what's going on. I only care about the result, not the process."

Fang Wei nodded, having no objection to the personnel arrangements at Yaoling Agriculture.

He is a results-oriented person, so no one dares to boast in front of him. If someone exaggerates their abilities and can't deliver, then that person's outcome will certainly not be good.

At this moment, a staff member from the base walked into the conference room and said that Secretary Xie from the county had arrived.

Fang Wei and the person in charge quickly got up and went to the corridor outside the conference room to greet them. It was a matter of basic courtesy, but there was no need to be overly enthusiastic, so he didn't go downstairs.

"Secretary Fang, I heard you were here, so I rushed over without stopping. How are things? Are there any difficulties at the base? If there are, please tell me, and I will do my best to solve them."

Xie Changfu was very enthusiastic. He shook hands with Wei Fangwai and said in a hearty manner.

"Thank you! We can overcome these temporary difficulties. If we really can't overcome them, we will go to see Secretary Xie."

Fang Wei smiled and invited Xie Changfu into the conference room.

The other person walked in, looked around, and couldn't help but frown. The meeting room looked very rudimentary; the tables and chairs were old, somewhat like a classroom in a rural primary school.

“Secretary Fang, is the base facing a financial strain? If you’re struggling, please let me know, and I can contact the bank to secure some working capital for you.”

Xie Changfu was unaware of Yaoling Agriculture's plans, so he probed the issue. Fang Wei quickly clarified that the company had no financial problems; it was just that spring planting was imminent, and they couldn't attend to other matters at the moment.

Afterwards, he and the base manager accompanied Xie Changfu and his group to visit the newly arrived large-scale agricultural machinery, as well as various water pumps.

Xie Changfu was relieved. Putting everything else aside, the agricultural machinery alone would require a huge investment.

night.

Xie Changfu insisted on inviting Fang Wei to dinner, and Fang Wei, unable to refuse, had no choice but to accept the invitation.

There were some influential figures from Qinghe County at the dinner table. Everyone treated him very politely, and after a few drinks, they started calling each other brothers.

Fang Wei wasn't afraid of being pressured to drink, and she understood Xie Changfu's intentions. If she wanted to settle down here, it would be essential to cultivate good relationships with these people.

He felt that Xie Changfu was also a wonderful person, whose words and actions made people feel very comfortable.

Fang Wei was always very approachable and easily became friends with everyone. However, there was a price to pay for being on friendly terms with him at the dinner table: most of them ended up lying under the table in the end.

"Secretary Fang, thank you for going easy on me! Now I know how much you can drink. You're a giant wine vat. Anyone who tries to drink with you is doomed."

Xie Changfu's "thank you" was very sincere. If Fang Wei had taken care of him, he probably wouldn't have escaped getting drunk either.

Fang Wei smiled and waved his hand. He hadn't asked anyone to drink with him today; it was all their doing to get him drunk.

But no matter what, having a drink together does help to strengthen relationships and make things easier in the future.

the next day.

Fang Wei returned to the company, and life went back to normal.

Of course, there are some differences from before. Since his older sister is not at home, Pan Lianhua will not come back for lunch either, and he can only eat at the canteen by himself.

If he wanted to try something different, he would make an appointment with his wife in advance so that the two of them could go to Linhe Restaurant for a treat.

To be honest, they've returned to their life as a couple, and it feels quite liberating.

A few days passed quickly.

All production units have begun spring planting.

Fang Wei's focus is on breeding, while also keeping an eye on rice cultivation. After all, he is the company's authority on breeding, as well as on agricultural production.

As long as he makes an occasional appearance, everyone feels very reassured.

Therefore, as usual, he inspected everywhere after the spring planting work began, visiting every production unit.

Lin Bingkun and other senior executives of the company also went to the production line to oversee operations. This is a tradition of Yaoling Agriculture, which has been maintained for a long time.

Fang Wei inspected the area and found no major problems, which put his mind at ease. However, the meeting notice for this year was delayed. He made some inquiries and it seemed that the meeting would be held later this year.

So he simply went to Fragrant Hills, since it had been quite a while since he'd been there, and he felt he should come and take a look.

In fact, Hu Linwei and his team have never relaxed their inspections of the electrical appliance group and Xiangyang Locks. Last year alone, Hu Linwei personally visited Xiangshan no fewer than 10 times.

The entire group is large and complex, and there are always times when Fang Wei can't attend to everything. Cai Tong, Hu Linwei, and others will help him share a lot of the work.

Aside from serving as chairman of the group company, he currently holds almost no positions in subsidiary companies, including the chairmanship of the listed company.

But no matter what, he remains the soul of the entire Yaoling faction.

On the evening of his arrival in Xiangshan, Zhang Wenyuan treated him to dinner. Yu Hao and Lu Zhiwen also came. Everyone drank some wine and tasted the local specialties, which was quite pleasant.

Everyone tacitly avoided discussing work throughout the evening, and Fang Wei didn't ask any questions either. After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, they returned to the hotel to sleep.

the next day.

He began his formal inspection of the electrical appliance group company, and Zhang Wenyuan and the company's senior management gave him a work report.

Although the electrical appliance group is a listed company, Yaoling Group is its largest shareholder and controlling shareholder. As the head of Yaoling Group, Fang Wei naturally has the authority to do so.

After listening to the report, Fang Wei began to inspect various departments and factories.

To be honest, the electrical appliance group company has very standardized management. It undergoes more than two audits and multiple inspections every year.

The company has now grown to a considerable size, with annual revenue exceeding 150 billion yuan, and its business covers refrigeration equipment, household air conditioners, various small household appliances, and more.

Its stock price has performed quite well in the Hong Kong market. For example, the market value of Fang Wei's shares, calculated based on the current stock price, has exceeded 5000 million yuan.

Now that the lock-up period has ended, he can cash out whenever he wants.

However, he wasn't short of money, so he didn't touch those shares, and they actually appreciated significantly. (End of Chapter)
