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

In particular, Cai Tong, although he is the deputy general manager, Fang Wei rarely appears in the group office, and many things are decided by him.

Despite being hampered by Hu Linwei, he still held high hopes for the position of general manager.

But through his conversations with Fang Wei over the past two days, he suddenly realized that he seemed to be getting further and further away from that position.

Fang Wei convened a board meeting on time, but the directors' opinions were not aligned. The meeting lasted all morning, and Fang Wei's proposal was finally passed, appointing Hu Linwei as the group's general manager.

Cai Tong will no longer serve as deputy general manager, but will join the group's board of directors as a director. One of the original directors will retire.

At the same time, Lin Bingkun and Lu Zhiwen were appointed as deputy general managers of the group company, and they no longer serve as general managers of Yaoling Agriculture and Xiangyang Locks.

Fang Wei made this adjustment after careful consideration. He voluntarily stepped down as the group's general manager to make room for a more capable person.

After the personnel adjustments were completed, Fang Wei and Cai Tong had a meal together at Yangcheng Restaurant.

“Secretary, I personally have no objection. After all, I’m getting old, and my thinking is no longer keeping up with the times. It’s more beneficial for the company to let younger people take the lead.”

Cai Tong didn't show much emotion. In fact, he was well aware that he and Hu Linwei were both qualified to be general manager.

There were only two competitors for that position; there was no third party.

"You are a veteran of the company and a capable person who came from the cooperative. I have no doubt about my trust in you. You are right. Now the company has a group of young and energetic employees who have grown up. They are knowledgeable and educated and have become the backbone of the company."

"Old Cai, I won't say anything more. Your appointment as an executive director on the group's board carries heavy responsibilities; you must diligently fulfill your duties as a director."

Fang Wei did not sideline Cai Tong. Although Cai Tong was no longer in charge of the company's daily affairs, she still had a say in major issues such as company decisions.

Another responsibility of this position is to supervise and constrain the company's management and to be accountable to the board of directors and the chairman.

Cai Tong smiled; he knew, of course, that he had not been marginalized.

"Secretary, don't worry, I understand everything you've said. I can assure you that once I'm in my new position, I will definitely fulfill my responsibilities and make due contributions to the company's development."

"Good! I'm relieved that you're so aware of this. Come on, let's drink."

Fang Wei didn't say much. After they finished eating and drinking, they went home separately.

The management reshuffle of the group company is now complete. Next, personnel adjustments will take place at companies such as Yaoling Agriculture and Xiangyang Locks. Candidates will be reviewed by senior management at a meeting of the group company, and then submitted to Fang Wei for approval.

He doesn't need to rack his brains to find the right candidate; he already has several options in mind. He just needs to make sure the final selection is successful.

"Third Brother, fewer and fewer of the elderly people who came from the cooperative are working at the company."

During dinner that evening, Pan Lianhua couldn't help but sigh.

In fact, she was well aware that the older employees leaving the company were partly due to their advancing age and partly because their knowledge level could no longer keep up with the company's development.

Cai Tong is considered one of the best among this group; some others are far behind.

However, this is only from the perspective of business management. Ultimately, the enterprise belongs to all the members, and the board members can only be people from the three cooperatives.

No one else can represent me.

"Yes, the older employees have gradually left their important positions in the company, but that will not affect the company's growth and development."

After these people retire, they can take on a sinecure position; they will only retire when they reach a certain age.

Fang Wei has no need to do something like discarding someone after they've served their purpose. As long as she doesn't make any mistakes, she'll still receive a generous severance package even if she leaves the company.

In addition, a group of young people have grown up in the company. Many of them went to university outside and returned to work for the company after graduation, so there's not much to be sentimental about.

At this time, Pan Lianhua and her sister also came to Guangzhou from Shenzhen. They had gotten used to the life of traveling back and forth, which was not a burden for them, but rather a spice of life.

Fang Wei has no plans to leave during this period, and he will go to the company almost every day to oversee things.

Although the personnel adjustments did not cause any major upheavals, the current priority should be maintaining stability, and we cannot let our guard down.

morning.

Fang Wei was handling official business in his office when Yang Feng knocked on the door and came in.

"Chairman, Shenzhen Port Group has officially completed its investment and become the second largest shareholder of Yaoling Real Estate, with a shareholding of 30%."

After Fang Wei and Qin Sicheng reached an agreement, the negotiations between the two parties went exceptionally smoothly, and they quickly completed a series of procedures such as capital injection and share transfer.

The new company is registered in Shenzhen, and its office is located in Yaoling Building in Shenzhen.

The unsettled projects from previous collaborations between the two parties were injected into the new company, with the port group injecting nearly 5 million yuan, greatly increasing Yaoling Real Estate's strength.

"Yes, I'll be going to Shenzhen in a few days to meet with President Qin. Make a note of this and remind me in a week."

Fang Wei planned to meet with Qin Sicheng again to reiterate her stance and avoid any problems in future cooperation.

As the controlling shareholder of Yaoling Real Estate, Yaoling Group may disregard the other party's thoughts, but this is not a cooperative attitude.

"Okay, I remember."

Yang Feng remembered Fang Wei's instructions and wrote it down in his memo after he turned to leave.

Fang Wei waited a few days until the aftermath of the personnel adjustments subsided before convening a meeting with Hu Linwei, Lin Bingkun, and others to discuss this year's profit-sharing plan.

"My opinion is that this year's dividends should be distributed at a standard of 8000 yuan per person. Prices have risen in the past two years, and everyone's actual standard of living should not be lowered."

The profit-sharing plan is usually a one-man show by Fang Wei; he proposes it, and everyone just agrees. This time is no exception. The profit-sharing standard of 8000 yuan per person is perfectly fine for the company and will not affect its development.

So everyone agreed, and the profit-sharing plan was successfully passed.

The plan was then submitted to the company's board of directors, and after it was approved, several cooperatives were notified.

The dividends are the most important source of income for the members throughout the year, and everyone is very happy to hear that the dividend standard has been greatly increased this year.

If anyone says that taking the path of collective economy is bad, they will spit in the other person's face.

The members of the three cooperatives are the envy of the entire county, with income levels far exceeding the average income levels of the county, the region, and the province.

After finishing this important matter, Fang Wei took Yang Feng with him to Shenzhen.

night.

Qin Sicheng hosted Fang Wei at a Western restaurant. Although Fang Wei didn't like Western food, she was familiar with the restaurant's environment, food, and dining habits.

"Come on, Secretary Fang, let's have a drink to celebrate."

Both of their glasses contained red wine. Qin Sicheng raised his glass in a gesture of respect, and Fang Wei picked up his glass and took a sip.

There wasn't much serious business to discuss during today's meeting; the main focus was on building rapport. Fang Wei also reiterated his requirements for the real estate company.

The requirements aren't particularly demanding; they simply require strict control over the debt ceiling, avoiding blind expansion, and developing steadily and step by step.

Qin Sicheng expressed his understanding; he wasn't a risk-taker either, otherwise he wouldn't have partnered with Fang Wei. The purpose of the collaboration was to leverage each other's strengths while sharing the risks.

"President Qin, it seems we have similar ideas. It's a pleasure to cooperate with you!"

"Happy cooperation!"

The two exchanged a smile, finished their glasses of red wine, and began to eat.

After having eaten and drunk her fill, Fang Wei politely declined the other party's invitation and went straight back to the lakeside villa to rest.

The next day at noon, he had a meal with his daughter and son-in-law, and then returned to Guangzhou.

"Lotus, the New Year is just around the corner. Why don't you and your sister go buy some clothes?"

Fang Wei planned to return to the village. Before leaving, he accompanied his older sister and Pan Lianhua to a clothing store and bought them several sets of clothes.

He bought himself a Zhongshan suit and a Western suit, which he would need on certain occasions.

in the afternoon.

The couple visited Binbin's clinic. There were still quite a few patients, but due to the appointment system and weight control, Binbin wasn't too overworked.

"Binbin, where do you plan to spend the New Year?"

After Binbin finished his work, Fang Wei, Pan Lianhua, and their son chatted for a while.

"Mom, Xuemei's parents said they're coming over for the New Year, so we can't leave Guangzhou."

Binbin responded with a sentence, then secretly observed Pan Lianhua's expression, afraid that his mother would be unhappy.

Pan Lianhua just smiled and said, "Then you take good care of your parents-in-law. We don't need you to worry about us. When you have time, you and Xuemei can go back to the village for a few days."

She was a little disappointed, but not angry.

Now that her family's financial situation has improved, she can visit her son's family anytime, and she can also go to Shenzhen to visit her daughter's family anytime. So, she's become more accepting of these things.

A little later, another patient came in to see Binbin, and Fang Wei and Pan Lianhua got up and left.

Upwards.

The family ate a meal together outside, and the next day, Fang Wei, Pan Lianhua, and their older sister returned to the village.

Time flies.

New Year's Day has arrived in the blink of an eye.

Fang Wei's expression was not good throughout his inspection of the oil pressing plant in the industrial park.

With the factory's rapeseed inventory nearly depleted, several major edible oil giants have increased their supply again and launched a new round of advertising campaigns.

Yaoling brand rapeseed oil has already begun to be supplied in limited quantities in many areas. If the problem of raw materials cannot be solved, then it will face the crisis of shortage.

Back in the office, Fang Wei called Lin Bingkun.

"President Lin, how long until our rapeseed can be harvested?"

"I just received a report that the harvest will be ready in about half a month to twenty days. Secretary, this is a month earlier than our original harvest time, so please don't worry."

After taking office, Lin Bingkun was still in charge of agriculture.

He hasn't been idle lately; he personally visited various planting bases to guide the work, so he has a good understanding of this season's rapeseed production.

This season's rapeseed not only had a shorter production cycle, but also exhibited extremely strong resistance, growing well even in lower temperatures. (End of Chapter)
