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

Of course, Fang Wei and Pan Lianhua could also stay in the Yao village. In short, there were many ways, and they managed to get through the months.

Living in the village is a bit inconvenient, especially driving on the winding mountain roads at night, which is always nerve-wracking when the weather is bad.

The couple discussed their options over dinner and finally decided to stay temporarily in their dormitory and the Yao village. Their circumstances were considered quite good; others didn't have the luxury of being picky and had to stay with other people.

"Let's leave it at that. I need to remind the communal organization that they should do a good job of publicizing the arrangements for those staying overnight and establish rules in advance to avoid conflicts later."

Rural work is difficult because it's often these trivial matters that are hard to handle.

But Fang Wei was very experienced; he believed in speaking frankly beforehand and making sure the work was done meticulously.

the next day.

Fang Wei then took a few directors to the old warehouse to take a look, and it turned out to be a very suitable place to store things.

"During the transition period, people can store some large items here, but there should be designated personnel to register and supervise them, so as not to cause chaos."

He made the decision, and no one else had any objections.

Both the Tian Bingyi Cooperative and the Yao Village held member meetings. Ultimately, the Tian Bingyi Cooperative decided that some people in need would build new houses, while the rest would receive housing subsidies.

In the Yao village, it's even simpler: the funds for building houses belong to the village and are used for the repair of houses and the construction of related supporting facilities.

Yaoling Cooperative holds the majority of shares in Yaoling Group, so it received the most funding for housing construction. Several directors from the cooperative were responsible for the specific construction matters, and the design and construction companies were quickly selected.

The project will officially start after the Lunar New Year, and the members will spend their last Lunar New Year in their existing old houses.

Fang Wei and Pan Lianhua are in the same boat; they don't plan to go to Guangzhou this Spring Festival and will spend it at home. As for whether Binbin and Xuemei can come back or not, it doesn't matter; the children are busy, and they understand.

"I've lived in this house for so many years, and it's going to be demolished soon. I'm really going to miss it."

After returning from her evening walk, Pan Lianhua wandered around upstairs and downstairs.

We need to plan ahead which items we no longer need and which items we should store in the old warehouse.

Pan Lianhua's words reminded Fang Wei that if the house is demolished and rebuilt, the level of the [Main Residence] will return to level 1, and he will have to spend points to upgrade it again, which is really heartbreaking.

He then checked the remaining points, which were currently 134.66 trillion points.

Total points: 190.66 billion.

He hasn't settled accounts for the last year yet; he plans to settle them all together after the rapeseed harvest after the New Year.

Fang Wei thought about it and decided not to upgrade any areas or facilities, planning to save it for after the house was built. Mainly, there was no immediate need, so he'd just leave it for now.

Time flies, and New Year's Day is here in the blink of an eye.

Fang Wei and Pan Lianhua had a meal in the county to celebrate the arrival of the New Year.

With the new year comes a new look. After the year ended, all kinds of seeds from Yaoling Agriculture were sold out, including the "Yuxiang No. 1" variety, which was completely gone.

The impact of New Cage's new corn seeds on "Yu Xiang No. 1" has long passed. "Yu Xiang No. 1" has only seen a decrease of less than 2 percentage points in market share, which is a very small impact.

In the past year, Yaoling Agriculture achieved its best results in history, and no single product can shake the company's position as a seed industry giant.

"Third Brother, let's take some time before the New Year to go to Guangzhou. We can visit Binbin, Xuemei, and Chenchen, and also buy some New Year's goods there and bring them back with us."

After the end of the year, the bamboo ware factory basically completed its production tasks, and Pan Lianhua also had some free time.

So she took the man to Guangzhou, stayed there for three days, and then returned to the village with bags and bags of New Year's goods she had bought.

Actually, the flow of goods is much more convenient now, especially since Xiangyang Supermarket has a very good supply. I mainly brought back dried seafood, non-staple foods, and some clothes from Guangzhou.

Binbin and Xuemei won't have time to come back this year. Xuemei's parents are coming before the new year, and their child is just over six months old, so it's not appropriate for them to travel back and forth.

The older sister happened to come back with the two of them. She heard that her house was going to be demolished and wanted to spend the New Year inside.

This morning.

The company posted the profit-sharing plan, and the profit-sharing payments will be distributed this afternoon.

Everyone already knew about this plan in advance, and there were no objections to the amount of dividends this year, as everyone knew that the upcoming housing renovation project would cost a huge sum of money.

Fang Wei and Pan Lianhua also went to the team to collect their dividends on time. It was definitely a good thing to receive money, so the couple and their sister went to Linhe Restaurant for dinner that evening to celebrate.

"Third Brother, are Tao Tao and Ting Ting coming back for Chinese New Year this year?"

Fang Wei has always maintained contact with his nephew and niece, which is why Pan Lianhua asked that question.

"They didn't say, but I guess one of them will come back."

Fang Wei took a bite of food and answered somewhat uncertainly.

He can now understand his older brother's feelings. If the child becomes successful, he won't stay by his side. Everyone will be scattered in different places, and they will see each other very rarely.

His two children are both in Guangdong, and he and Pan Lianhua can still visit there from time to time, but they still don't get to spend much time together.

Fortunately, they got used to it and the couple didn't care too much about it.

Fang Wei, Pan Lianhua, and their older sister were busy preparing for the New Year. The commune was preparing to slaughter a pig for the New Year, and other chickens, ducks, fish, and meats could be bought at the supermarket.

In the afternoon, Sister and Pan Lianhua went to Xiangyang Supermarket. Fang Wei went to the office for a quick look, and seeing nothing was wrong, he turned around and went home. He was surprised to run into Xiao Jie at his doorstep. "Xiao Jie, you didn't even call ahead to let me know you were coming home, so I could have picked you up from the station!"

"I'm not a child anymore. I took the bus back directly after getting off the train."

Xiao Jie looked a little tired, and Fang Wei didn't say much. He went straight into the house with his daughter.

Later, Pan Lianhua and her sister also returned, and they were equally surprised to see Xiaojie when they entered the room.

The older sister hurried to prepare dinner, while Pan Lianhua pulled her daughter aside to ask her all sorts of questions, but the daughter seemed to be in a low mood.

"Third Brother, what's wrong with this girl? She looks like she has something on her mind."

Pan Lianhua found it strange, so she pulled Fang Wei into the courtyard and asked him.

"It might be something to do at work. Xiaojie is tired today. I'll ask her tomorrow."

Fang Wei guessed that her daughter was in a bad mood, possibly because of the company.

He had heard from Xiaojie in Shenzhen that the company she worked for seemed to be having financial problems, the original shareholders wanted to withdraw their shares, and the boss was even planning to issue internal employee shares.

Later, Xiaojie didn't ask him for money, so he put the matter aside.

"Yes, you must ask. I'm worried that our daughter might be having relationship problems. Do you think she might be dating someone?"

Pan Lianhua was worried and kept having wild thoughts.

Fang Wei had no choice but to talk to her daughter after dinner.

"Dad, don't worry, I'm fine. It's just that the company isn't raising funds very smoothly. The boss said that if we can't get through this difficult time after the New Year, the company may have to lay off employees."

Xiao Jie isn't a deep-seated person; she told Fang Weiyi everything when asked.

The company is not only facing shareholder withdrawals, but also an upcoming bank loan maturity. How much money can the employees contribute? And since everyone wants to go home for the Chinese New Year, fundraising will have to wait until after the holiday.

Xiao Jie has no idea how much longer she can work at this company.

"Xiaojie, tell me about your company."

Fang Wei seemed to be deep in thought, and then asked her daughter to explain the company's situation in detail.

Actually, this telecommunications company is quite good. It started by distributing products and has gradually developed its own technology and products. However, the high investment in research and development has resulted in very thin profit margins, which is why the original shareholders are demanding to withdraw their investment.

Taking the path of independent innovation is arduous, no wonder the original shareholders couldn't understand.

"Dad, I'd like to buy more shares in the company. Is that alright?"

By selling shares to employees to raise funds, business owners are also giving themselves a chance to breathe.

This was a last resort, as the company was finding it increasingly difficult to obtain loans from banks and had repeatedly failed to attract investors. This method was the last resort for raising funds.

If it fails, the company may really be unable to continue.

"Do you think your company's existing products, and the products under development, have vitality?"

Fang Wei wasn't very knowledgeable about the telecommunications industry, but he was aware of the general trends.

As for the company where Xiao Jieju works, he was too lazy to spend time finding out more; he figured it was better to ask his daughter than others.

"I believe the company's products will definitely be able to break into the market. The current investment in research and development will bring the company a hundredfold or a thousandfold return in the future. As long as we can overcome the current crisis, the company's prospects will be very good."

Xiaojie is very optimistic about the company's future development, so her answer was very affirmative.

Fang Wei nodded, determined to support her daughter.

"how much money do you need?"

"A small amount of money is useless; I need to buy at least 50 yuan worth of shares, right?"

Xiao Jie didn't know how to bring it up with her father, but he took the initiative to ask about the amount of money. She hesitated for a while before boldly answering.

“50 is a bit too little. I’ll give you 200 million to buy company shares. Half of it will be yours and half will be from your family. Even if we lose money, I won’t blame you.”

He could make the decision himself, but he would still have to talk to his wife about it afterwards.

I believe Pan Lianhua wouldn't object.

"Dad, you're so good to me!"

Xiao Jie was overjoyed. Her father's promise to give her 200 million yuan to buy shares in the company was completely unexpected.

So she grabbed her father's arm and shook it to express her gratitude.

"You're such a grown man, yet you're still acting like a child! Alright, it's settled then. I'll transfer the money to you after you return to Shenzhen after the New Year."

Fang Wei gently patted her daughter's forehead, then got up and left the room.

I told Pan Lianhua about it that night, and she agreed that the man did the right thing. It seems my daughter has a deep connection to this company; otherwise, she wouldn't have asked the family for money. (End of Chapter)
