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

During the off-season for farming, Fang Wei also found himself with some free time.

He took some time to visit the experimental forest in the mountains and saw that there were some rare medicinal herbs growing in this large area of ​​woodland.

Although the absolute number is not very large now, compared to when the rare herbs were first transplanted, there are quite a few new plants.

Next spring, a large number of rare herbs will be transplanted to the herb cultivation base, and the exploration of natural propagation of rare herbs will continue in the experimental forest.

Based on the production volume in the next year or two, it will not affect the price of these rare herbs.

In many prescriptions, these rare herbs play a leading role, and the huge gap between supply and demand cannot be filled by this small quantity.

"However, the weeds in this area are growing too wildly. We'll have to send some people from Sanqi to deal with it later."

The rapid growth of trees in the mountains and forests is not noticeable, but the rampant growth of other plants, especially wild grasses, will squeeze out the growing space of rare herbs.

So the next day, Fang Wei led a large group of princes to the experimental forest to eradicate the weeds and ensure the healthy growth and propagation of the rare herbs. Their hard work wasn't in vain; everyone received a bonus at the end.

The brothers didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Wild grasses grew wildly in the mountains, and trees took even longer to mature. It's been like this for many years, okay?
Therefore, Fang Wei often preferred to use the Yao people as leaders. Whatever he said was law, and no one in the village would question him or betray him.

Next.

Fang Wei began a new round of inspections.

The target of this inspection is all enterprises under the group, including all factories in the industrial park, Xiangyang Locks, electrical appliance group company, real estate development company, property management company, logistics company, etc.

He is not the kind of entrepreneur who likes to sit in the office and look at reports. He has always believed that seeing is believing, so he has stuck to this habit to this day.

After traveling around, he arrived in Guangzhou.

"We're meeting today for one thing: to discuss this year's profit-sharing plan. Also, several cooperatives are strongly requesting to build houses, but their funds are limited. Let's see if we can help."

On the second day after arriving in Guangzhou, Fang Wei convened a meeting at the group company.

The meeting had two agenda items, but ultimately it boils down to one: the issue of distribution. Besides individual profit sharing, the other was how to support the cooperative's collective housing construction.

Among them, the Yaoling Cooperative has the strongest demand for rebuilding its houses and requires the most funds.

The Yao village doesn't plan to demolish and rebuild; it only intends to renovate it. However, opinions within the Tian Bingyi Cooperative are divided. After all, they didn't engage in collective housing construction in the first place; later, as members became wealthier, many built their own houses, and most were unwilling to go through the hassle of rebuilding.

"The company should support the demands of its members, after all, we are a collective enterprise and belong to all members. However, the company is not suitable for direct donations, but can only increase the proportion of dividends."

"Yes, individual dividends will be distributed according to last year's standards, while the cooperative's retention can be increased significantly."

Everyone spoke up, and they generally agreed to receive more dividends. This is determined by the nature of the enterprise; otherwise, the so-called collective enterprise label would be meaningless.

Fang Wei nodded. The members used all their savings and land to start the company. Every penny they earned belonged to everyone and could only be spent on all the members.

For example, improving the environment, repairing roads, and building recreational and sports facilities will inevitably include improving everyone's living conditions.

I thought today's meeting would take a long time, but we reached a consensus not long after it started.

"That's settled then. This year's individual dividends will be the same as last year's, while the cooperative's retention will increase to 6 million yuan."

Fang Wei then made a decision and then adjourned the meeting.

But this only solved the funding problem; many more troubles await.

Fang Wei only stayed in Guangzhou for a few days before hurriedly returning to the company.

His inspection trip lasted for about half a month, and there were still many things in the company that needed his attention.

"Inform everyone that a general meeting of all members will be held tomorrow."

After returning, Fang Wei rested for only one day before convening a general meeting of all members.

Everyone welcomed the idea of ​​building new houses, and there was absolutely no opposition. However, there is a problem: where will so many people live during the demolition and reconstruction process?
"Let's all figure out how to overcome this ourselves. We can't rely on the club to solve everything."

One of the board members was unhappy and complained.

But the reality is that rural areas are different from cities. The entire Yaoling Township is facing demolition. Are we supposed to go to other townships to stay?

"Please be quiet, everyone. Let Secretary Fang say a few words."

The scene was a little chaotic, but a staff member picked up a megaphone and shouted something, and everyone gradually quieted down.

"We apologize for not explaining this clearly to everyone. Now let me explain: although the reconstruction project is a whole, the demolition work of each brigade will not be carried out simultaneously."

Fang Wei glared at the director. He should patiently explain when the public has difficulties, so why did he get angry?
According to the plan, the houses of one of the two adjacent brigades will be demolished first, and after the houses on this side are built, the houses of the other brigade will be demolished.

This way, everyone has a place to stay temporarily.

The arrangement of "help me first, and I'll help you after I move into my new house" won't cause resistance from some people. Although the construction period of this project has been extended, it has effectively solved everyone's accommodation problem during the transition period and will not affect everyone's commute to get off work.

The members were discussing among themselves. Fang Wei waited a little longer before starting to vote on several issues.

The housing reconstruction plan and the resettlement measures were approved, and every member of the community was very excited. Everyone works hard all year round, isn't it all for a better life?
Housing is of paramount importance to everyone, and who wouldn't be happy if this problem could be solved?
"Alright! The reconstruction project will begin after spring. Everyone, enjoy the New Year in advance. Meeting adjourned!"

After the members' meeting ended, Fang Wei called the director aside and criticized him a few times.

Fortunately, the director realized his mistake and kept apologizing, so Fang Wei let him off the hook.

The next day.

Fang Wei arrived at Tian Bingyi's cooperative and found her second brother-in-law.

"Brother-in-law, how did your company make that decision?"

"Most of the commune members refused to demolish and rebuild, but there were some people whose housing conditions were very poor, and they were willing to do so. As a result, the two sides have been arguing fiercely these days. If I hadn't stopped them in time, they might have even started fighting."

Tian Bingyi was also worried about this matter, but the Yaoling Cooperative was very united and quickly passed a resolution.

But the people on our side are not united, and everyone has their own ideas, which makes things really difficult.

"Okay, then. You can take a look and collect the signatures of those who are willing to rebuild their houses. We'll help them build new houses. We won't force those who don't want to rebuild. We'll provide them with housing subsidies later."

Fang Wei felt that continuing to argue like this was not a solution, so it would be better to treat them differently, but ultimately keep the amount of money consistent.

In rural areas, such matters must be handled fairly, otherwise there will be endless troubles in the future.

Tian Bingyi slapped his thigh, thinking it was a great idea, and decided to do it.

"Third brother, don't go. Have lunch inside before you go back."

The second sister came in carrying a large pile of groceries, insisting that the third brother eat lunch before leaving.

Fang Wei smiled and nodded. She didn't see her second sister and brother-in-law often, so since they were here, she would definitely have a meal at home.

After the meal, he went to the Yao village.

He arrived at his home in the Yao village, brewed a pot of tea beforehand, and then had someone call Wang Sanqi and Wang Songlin over.

After taking the second course of medication, Wang Songlin has almost fully recovered and can now do some light exercise without any problems.

"Songlin, Sanqi, does anyone have any objections to the village withholding housing construction funds?"

Of the three cooperatives, only the Yao village truly embodies collectivism. Disputes like those in the Tian Bingyi cooperative would never occur in the village.

"No objections, nobody has any objections."

Wang Sanqi is now in charge of most of the affairs in the village. Hearing Fang Wei's question, he quickly answered.

Wang Songlin nodded as well. The two of them had already visited the entire village, and no one had raised any objections.

The houses now are all built by the villagers. When they were built, they deliberately built extra houses, and there are still vacancies now.

The villagers have made a lot of money through tourism, and Fang Wei, Wang Songlin, Wang Sanqi and others are very grateful. No one would disagree with them on this matter.

"Alright, you guys call a meeting later and make sure a decision is reached. I won't participate."

Fang Wei didn't stay long and returned home before evening.

Pan Lianhua is also having a headache about the demolition; she doesn't want to have to stay at someone else's house during the transition period.

"Third Brother, why don't we stay in the factory dormitory for now? A one-bedroom apartment is enough for the two of us."

The bamboo ware factory also had dormitories. Pan Lianhua was assigned a one-bedroom dormitory, where she would rest instead of coming back for lunch.

“I don’t mind staying in the dormitory, but the problem is where to put all our stuff from home? Your small dormitory room can’t hold it all.”

Fang Wei shook his head helplessly, unable to think of any good solutions for the moment.

"Isn't the old warehouse still there? If all else fails, just leave it there, pile everything up, cover it with a tarpaulin, and you can move into the new place in a few months."

Pan Lianhua suddenly remembered a place: the old warehouse in the village was so large that people from the whole village could put their things there without any problem.

Moreover, the warehouse has a ventilation and drying system, so things won't get moldy even after one or two years.

“Look at me, how could I forget about the old warehouse? Well, we can just put our things there. I was originally thinking that if all else fails, we could just buy a house in Nanlu Garden to save ourselves the trouble.”

Fang Wei isn't short of money; an apartment in Nanlu Garden only costs tens of thousands of yuan, so buying one wouldn't be a loss. (End of Chapter)
