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

Fang Wei considered it for two days before signing his approval on the report.

This report then needed to be approved by the group company's board of directors. He made a special trip to Guangzhou to hold a board meeting and discuss several topics.

Ultimately, the investment and expansion plan was successfully approved, and the oil mill's expansion plan was launched.

"Secretary, we've invested a lot of money in cooking oil. Can Zhang Chu and Lin Bingkun handle this responsibility?"

The matter had been settled, and Cai Tong treated Fang Wei to a meal alone.

He implied that he wasn't very confident in Zhang Chu and Lin Bingkun. Zhang Chu's vision was a bit narrow, and Lin Bingkun's style of doing things was too radical, which made him very worried.

"The oil mill is getting bigger and bigger, so we should give Zhang Chu a capable deputy to take charge of this. As for Lin Bingkun, you're still there to oversee things."

Cai Tong is in charge of agriculture, including breeding, planting, and deep processing of agricultural products.

Hu Linwei is mainly responsible for businesses outside of the main business, including an electrical appliance group, Xiangyang Locks, a real estate development company, and a property management company.

Of course, major decisions require collective discussion and decision-making by the group's senior management, and may even require approval from the group's board of directors.

Therefore, even if company leaders at various levels make wrong decisions on major issues, they cannot implement them. Moreover, Fang Wei, Zhang Chu, and Lin Bingkun all understand this and believe they can adapt to this rapid development.

"I was just saying. Come on, Party Secretary, let's drink!"

Cai Tong said no more. He carefully considered Fang Wei's meaning, which was probably to strengthen the management of the food company and Yaoling Agriculture.

He couldn't get involved in personnel matters; Fang Wei basically made all the decisions.

Over the next few days, Fang Wei instructed the human resources department to find a way to recruit several senior professionals in the edible oil industry. The company offered relatively high salaries, but the recruitment requirements were also very high.

In addition, he also made minor personnel adjustments within the group company.

After finishing these tasks, he returned to the village.

Before we knew it, it was the off-season for farming again.

Yaoling Agriculture signed a land contract with Suiyang County for 200,000 mu (approximately 13,333 hectares) of land, intending to establish the company's first peanut planting base. While the land has basic infrastructure, it does not meet the company's requirements.

Next, taking advantage of the off-season for farming, the base will also vigorously construct farmland irrigation facilities, office buildings and dormitories, a large canteen, and a large grain warehouse.

The senior management of Yaoling Agriculture are already very familiar with this process, so Lin Bingkun doesn't need to personally oversee it.

Fang Wei took some time to visit Suiyang County and had a meal with Secretary Liu.

The other party was still fixated on investing in and building the oil mill, but Fang Wei just kept dodging the question. Now that the land contract was settled, he really didn't need to make any more promises.

"Secretary Liu, we can talk about the future later. Let's focus on getting the peanut planting base up and running first. If anything comes up, we'll need your help. Maybe we can even expand the planting scale in a couple of years."

"Once you arrive in Suiyang County, rest assured, I guarantee I can provide you with a favorable business environment."

Secretary Liu smiled and then dropped the matter of investing in and setting up a factory.

For him, he naturally hoped that Yaoling Agriculture could build an oil pressing plant locally, and ideally, also place its peanut breeding work there. However, he couldn't influence their decisions; after all, Yaoling Agriculture was his cash cow.
After dinner, Fang Wei went to a hotel to rest for the night.

He generally avoids walking at night unless it's an extremely urgent matter.

Just a few days after I returned home, the expansion project of the oil mill began. Apart from some small lock factories, the rest of the industrial park consisted of enterprises under the Yaoling Group.

The park's planning was excellent at the time, but unfortunately, Xinlin County is really not suitable for industrial development.

As a result, a group of "Yaoling Group" enterprises benefited greatly, making it incredibly easy for them to expand their scale. The county was more than willing to give away the land.

Fang Wei naturally wouldn't go to the industrial park to keep an eye on things; that was Zhang Chu's job. He could just occasionally go and inspect the work.

morning.

After having breakfast, he drove into the mountains and first went to check on the experimental forest. Several kinds of tree seeds that had been planted earlier had already sprouted and become small saplings.

By April or May of next year, the trees can be transplanted into the wild forest, and the tree species replacement plan will officially begin.

After leaving the experimental forest, Fang Wei drove to the Sanqing Temple.

The completion of the mountain road made things much easier for him; taking this route was much shorter than taking the national highway.

He hadn't visited Master Sun for a while, not because he couldn't find the time, but mainly because he didn't want to interfere with the old Taoist's cultivation.

"Master, you look radiant! Did you take some magic pills?"

Fang Wei parked the car at the back of the mountain and then entered the Taoist temple through the back gate. Soon he arrived at the white-haired, youthful-looking Taoist Master Sun.

The other person had a ruddy complexion and bright, piercing eyes, leading Fang Wei to believe that the old Taoist could live to be a hundred years old.

"I don't have any elixirs. I've started fasting now. Why don't you try it too?"

Master Sun laughed heartily and couldn't help but make a joke.

He ate and drank well all day long, and besides his spiritual practice, he also insisted on exercising [health-preserving exercises], so he had no health problems at all.

Afterwards, the two went inside, where a Taoist priest brought them tea.

"How's Binbin's work? Is Xiaochenchen doing alright?"

As expected, not long after sitting down, Master Sun began to inquire about Binbin and his son Chenchen's situation.

Fang Wei told them everything, and then took out several recent photos of Chenchen, one of which was a group photo. The photo showed Fang Wei and her husband, Binbin and his wife, Chenchen, and her older sister. "Binbin has just started seeing patients on his own, let's take it slow. After all, hospitals are places where seniority matters. The little guy is naughty now, but he's very smart and lovable."

Fang Wei and Sun Daoren started chatting casually. His purpose in coming was simply to visit the other party, so naturally he said nice things to him.

"You think you can bully Binbin just because he's young? If you ask me, you should quit working at that lousy hospital and open your own clinic. You'll be free and won't have to suffer."

Sun Daoren was able to judge Binbin's skill level, which was no less than that of many chief physicians in hospitals.

Unfortunately, he had no opportunity to make a difference in the hospital and could only slowly build up his seniority.

“It’s none of his business. If he wants to go to work, he can go to work; if he doesn’t want to go to work, he can find another job.”

Fang Wei laughed and spoke the absolute truth.

Pan Lianhua had long felt sorry for her son working so hard. Even if the family didn't have a gold mine, it wouldn't be a problem to provide a comfortable life for the whole family.

"Don't just say you don't care, you have to try to persuade Binbin."

Sun Daoren rolled his eyes at Fang Wei; he couldn't bear to see Binbin suffer even more.

"Okay, okay, I'll call him when I get back, alright?"

Fang Wei was treating Sun Daoren like a child.

The old Taoist priest didn't mind, and the two then chatted about the past. It was clear that he was in high spirits.

Fang Wei had lunch on the mountain, then had his belongings carried inside before driving back home.

night.

Wu Tianming called and showered Binbin with praise over the phone.

"I've been feeling very tired and drowsy lately, so I thought I'd go to the hospital to get checked out. When I got to the hospital that day, I ran into Binbin and asked him to take a look at me."

Guess what? Binbin prescribed seven doses of medicine for me. After taking them at home, I felt completely better and didn't feel sick at all. Later, I went for a checkup, and everything was fine.

"Old Wu, that's a minor ailment. Any doctor can cure it."

Fang Wei was delighted to hear this, but he couldn't show it, so he simply said something modest.

"You're talking nonsense. Later, when I met Principal Chu, I told him about my experience seeking treatment from Binbin, and he also spoke highly of him."

Wu Tianming made this call for no particular reason other than to chat with Fang Wei.

The two chatted for more than half an hour before hanging up.

"This kid is good; he made a deep impression on Old Wu right away."

Fang Wei walked over with a smile and praised her son.

Pan Lianhua was also very happy; her son's success was the most important thing.

The next day.

Fang Weiyi went to the office early in the morning and handled several official matters.

He has always had a good attitude and is willing to delegate authority; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to live in the village for so long.

The entire Yaoling Group is like a well-functioning machine, with everyone performing their duties. Unless it involves issues of overall importance, personnel changes, or large-scale fund transfers, it's basically the same whether he's there or not.

In recent years, I have rarely been involved in specific matters; most things have been handled by Cai Tong, Hu Linwei, Lin Bingkun, and others.

"Has the logistics company encountered obstacles in its development?"

Fang Wei picked up a document, and as she looked at it, she couldn't help but frown.

The logistics company, formerly known as the transportation company, has now developed into a large logistics enterprise.

According to the document, Yaoling Logistics is being targeted by strong competitors at every turn. The company has encountered difficulties in several provinces and has even been fined.

The logistics company must have established connections in various regions to have grown to its current scale.

However, this matter is difficult to resolve. The other party is demanding that the company abandon two highly profitable routes, otherwise it will face suppression from all sides.

"Yuan En, come here."

The logistics company's development had long been hampered by bottlenecks. Fang Wei originally planned to discuss the relocation of the logistics company's headquarters with everyone when he went to Guangzhou at the end of the year.

As a result, the logistics company ran into trouble.

Shortly after, Deng Yuanen arrived at Fang Wei's office.

"Third Brother, that's the gist of it. Our company is bigger and stronger than Sitong Logistics, but their boss is no ordinary person. He has extensive social connections, and we can't beat him."

Deng Yuanen recounted his grievances with Sitong Logistics over the years, which involved no right or wrong, only interests.

The two sides were vying for resources, customers, and routes. As a result, because a manager of one of Yaoling Logistics' branches transported goods in violation of regulations, the other side seized on this weakness and launched a series of attacks.

Well, to put it simply, the opponent is definitely using this as an excuse to cause trouble, and Yaoling Logistics isn't entirely innocent either. (End of Chapter)
