Genius One Second Remember Love Go/Small? Shuo → Net provides you with wonderful novels to read.
Wu Liqian felt her head buzzing. She couldn't believe her ears.
Wasn't Song Rui's grandfather the one who appeared on the news every day a few years ago?
He sent his grandson to congratulate a small farm in Changping County on the completion of an office building that cost less than a few million yuan?
Could it be that after retiring for a few years, the old man had nothing to do?
Wu Liqian knew that Master Song was a senior official. Even if he wasn't in his position, his influence in the country was still unparalleled. Moreover, even though he had retired, his Family Song was still one of the top political families in Huaxia. No matter what, he wouldn't be so free as to pay attention to a small farm like this.
The only explanation was that Xia Ruofei held a very high position in that old man's heart.
Wu Liqian couldn't help but look at Xia Ruofei a few more times.
Xia Ruofei was also a little surprised. He said, "No way. The old official actually cares about such a small matter. What have I done to deserve it? "
"I think so too." Song Rui said with a grin, "You must have given my grandfather a bewitching potion!"
Xia Ruofei punched Song Rui in the chest and laughed. "F * ck off! I was just being modest, and you took it seriously! "
"I don't think you're that flattered!" Song Rui said with a smile. "If it were someone else, they'd probably go crazy with joy."
"Nonsense, who do you think I am? I've seen a lot! "Xia Ruofei said.
After he finished speaking, he extended his hand to Song Rui, opened his palm and said, "Give it to me."
"Give what?"
"Nonsense! Since the official sent you here, how could he let you come empty-handed? " Xia Ruofei said bluntly, "Since you're here to congratulate me, take out your gift!"
"You're really impolite …" Song Rui smiled bitterly and handed the long paper box to Xia Ruofei. "You better hold it properly! The Old Master woke up early this morning and personally wrote a piece of calligraphy. You're lucky … "
Song Rui's tone was sour.
Because Master Song rarely gave people inscriptions, his calligraphy treasures could be said to be priceless. Even Song Rui, Master Song's grandson, begged him several times but still couldn't get a posthumous child.
Of course, it could also be that Master Song knew his grandson's character, so he wouldn't write for him easily.
But no matter what, Song Rui looked at Xia Ruofei getting Master Song's calligraphy treasures so easily, and he was quite envious!
As for Wu Liqian, who had been paying attention to the commotion, she was even more shocked after hearing it.
Xia Ruofei also acted as if he had received a treasure, and he quickly took the cardboard box. Master Song's personal inscription wasn't as exaggerated as a protective talisman, but at least it was quite significant.
Then, Liang Weimin came over to remind Xia Ruofei that the auspicious time had arrived, and that he should prepare to go on stage to give a speech.
He spoke as if Xia Ruofei was the groom waiting to go through the wedding ceremony.
Therefore, Xia Ruofei didn't have time to introduce the entrepreneurs and officials to Song Rui. He asked Pang Hao to find a seat for Song Rui first.
As for Master Song's calligraphy treasures, Xia Ruofei solemnly handed it to Ling Qingxue next to him and said, "Qingxue, you have to take good care of it for me. This thing is too precious …"
"Don't worry! I'll always hold it in my hand! "Ling Qingxue giggled.
"Yes, don't give it to anyone else," Xia Ruofei said.
After he finished speaking, he walked towards the small stage temporarily set up in the small square. After taking two steps, Xia Ruofei hurried back and took out the gift box from Hengfeng Group from his trouser pocket.
Xia Ruofei stuffed the gift box into Ling Qingxue's hands and said, "This is from Mr. Ma from Hong Kong. Take good care of it for me. There is a bracelet in it for you. You can open it and see if you like it."
Ling Qingxue nodded and said, "Got it. Ruofei, go do your work!"
The host invited by Liang Weimin had already begun to give a speech on the stage. After a brief opening speech, Xia Ruofei stepped onto the small stage amidst the applause of everyone.
Now that Xia Ruofei had seen the world, he didn't prepare a script. He came to the microphone and began to give a speech.
Of course, the content of the speech was nothing more than thanking the local government for their support, thanking the superiors, thanking the partners, and so on. In the end, Xia Ruofei also announced that the first batch of foreign employees of the Taoyuan Company would be allocated a single apartment in the comprehensive building. If the employees got married and brought their families over, they could apply for a two-bedroom apartment. Xia Ruofei had specially reserved more than a dozen two-bedroom apartments. Five of them were reserved for guests, and the remaining ten were reserved for the employees.
Then, Xia Ruofei also announced some incentives. For example, if they were promoted to the level of supervisor, they would be treated more favorably in terms of housing. In fact, at this stage, only Cao Tieshu and Lei Hu were supervisors of Taoyuan Farm. Pang Hao and Ye Linyun were considered middle-level managers of the company, and their status was higher than Cao Tieshu's.
Of course, Xia Ruofei also announced that the company would recruit several cleaners and chefs. In addition, a new batch of farm workers was prepared to be recruited. The security team was also planned to be further expanded. The farm would provide free lunch to the employees, and the company's cafeteria would also provide breakfast and dinner. The employees could charge their cards, and the price of the food was naturally much cheaper than outside.
When the employees of Taoyuan Farm heard this, they naturally cheered. At the same time, when they heard that Xia Ruofei would continue to recruit people, they were a little excited. Taoyuan Farm's treatment could be said to be first-class in the surrounding area, and it was better than some companies in the city. As for the treatment of the factories in the county and town, it was not at the same level as the treatment of the Taoyuan Company.
In addition to the salary, the company also provided various benefits, insurance, overtime subsidies, and so on. Cao Tieshu and the others were now walking in the village with their heads held high. They all felt that they were proud, and the villagers were quite envious of them.
Now that the company was going to recruit people again, Cao Tieshu and the others wanted to quickly pass the news back. They were all locals, and who didn't have relatives or friends? This was internal news! If their relatives and friends could be one step ahead of others, they might be able to seize the opportunity.
The construction workers who participated in the ribbon-cutting ceremony were very envious. They worked dirty and tiring on the construction site, and many of them were not even treated as well as the farm workers!
Xia Ruofei's speech was not long. After that, it was time to cut the ribbon.
Originally, Xia Ruofei had arranged for Wu Liqian, Liang Weimin, Ling Xiaotian, Chief Zheng, and himself, a total of five people.
Now, with the addition of Feng Yun and Zhou Qing, the ribbon-cutting guests had become seven people.
Fortunately, the company in charge of the ceremony had prepared spare gold scissors, plates, and so on. They had just temporarily lengthened the red silk cloth and made two more silk flowers. Then, they pulled the two girls in charge of welcoming the guests to be the hostesses.
Xia Ruofei and the others cut the scissors at the same time. The red silk was divided into several sections, and each tray had an auspicious red silk flower. Then, according to the division of labor, Lei Hu and the others under the stage unscrewed the colorful flowers, and some went to the other side of the square to light the firecrackers.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony was completed in such a lively manner.
Next, the workers who were pulled in to make up the numbers were dismissed. The guests, accompanied by Xia Ruofei, began to tour the comprehensive building.
The first floor of the building was mainly the security room, the monitoring room, the cafeteria, the utility room, and so on. There was also a part of the administrative office.
The second floor was mainly the office, including the chairman's office, the finance office, and other important places.
This building was not the same as the office buildings in the city. It occupied a large area, and each floor was very spacious. Moreover, Xia Ruofei was used to being a shopkeeper, so he did not waste an entire floor of space to set up a huge office.
The third to sixth floors were all accommodation. There were single apartments, two-bedroom apartments, and guest rooms.
There were a total of five apartments used as guest rooms, ten two-bedroom apartments, and more than 30 single apartments.
For the current Taoyuan Farm, it was enough.
As for the future development of the company, it did not matter. The company's headquarters would definitely not be in this remote countryside for a long time. Now that the Taoyuan Company was becoming more and more famous, it was inevitable that the human resources, administrative logistics, finance, and other departments would be built in the future. The company's headquarters would also inevitably be moved to an office building in the city.
Otherwise, it would not be in line with the image of a big company!
Taoyuan Farm was mainly responsible for the operation of the farm, so these employee apartments were definitely enough.
Moreover, Xia Ruofei only needed to ensure that the first few batches of employees had a place to live. If the new recruits did not have a place to live, then there would be no place to live.
Xia Ruofei had helped Liang Weimin a lot last time, so he was quite attentive to this project. Not only did he ask Manager Li to keep an eye on the whole process, he also came several times to supervise the progress of the project.
It could be said that Liang Weimin did not earn a single cent from this project. The same cost, according to the market price, could at most build four or five floors.
Moreover, the interior decoration was all of high quality and cost-effective materials. It was environmentally friendly, durable, and not a waste of money.
Everyone looked around, and those who knew the industry were secretly impressed.
Even those who did not know the industry were sighing that the employee benefits of Taoyuan Farm were too good. The conditions were too comfortable.
In fact, Xia Ruofei's Taoyuan Farm was different from the average farm. The cost of his raw materials was about the same as the average farm, and he did not use chemical fertilizers, so the cost was very low. At the same time, the price of the agricultural products was several times or even dozens of times higher than the market price, and the profit was huge.
Therefore, Xia Ruofei did not mind giving the employees a higher salary and benefits. Xia Ruofei still felt that it was worth it to use this limited investment to exchange for the loyalty of the employees. This was not a waste of money.
Including renting land from Dongkeng Village, even if the land price was slightly higher than the market price, Xia Ruofei did not hesitate to make the decision.
If other farms learned from Xia Ruofei's extravagance, then they would really go bankrupt in minutes.
After the tour, the guests were led by Xia Ruofei to the newly built employee cafeteria.
In Huaxia, when people came to support you, as the host, you naturally had to treat them well. At the very least, there was food and drinks.
Xia Ruofei naturally could not be a maverick.
All the facilities in the employee cafeteria were brand new. Although the chef had not been hired yet, Xia Ruofei had a future father-in-law who was a restaurant chain tycoon, so the chef was naturally not a problem.
The executive chef of Ling Ji Catering personally led a few chefs to work in the cafeteria and prepared a sumptuous lunch.
Most of the ingredients were vegetables and fruits from Taoyuan Farm, and the meat ingredients were also top-grade products that Ling Xiaotian had arranged for people to buy from Ling Ji Catering's suppliers.
Cao Tieshu was very distressed that Xia Ruofei used so many Taoyuan vegetables to entertain the guests — he was the one who knew the value of these vegetables the best. Cao Tieshu's heart trembled as he watched Lei Hu and the others move boxes of fresh vegetables from the greenhouse into the cafeteria. If these vegetables were sold, they would be worth at least a few thousand or even ten to twenty thousand Huaxia dollars!
Xia Ruofei naturally did not feel distressed about this small amount of money. Not only did he use the Taoyuan vegetables, but even the wine used at the luncheon was all the aged wine from Xia Ruofei's space, Drunken Eight Immortals.
The guests naturally ate with relish, especially those who loved to drink. They were full of praise for the improved Drunken Eight Immortals.
Ling Xiaotian also took the opportunity to publicize the new winery that they had acquired.
Knowing that the wine at the luncheon was not inferior to Maotai Wuliangye, and that it would be officially sold in half a month, the guests were very interested and started chatting with Ling Xiaotian and Xia Ruofei.
Song Rui was very envious of Xia Ruofei's success.
Xia Ruofei was two years younger than him, and now his business was thriving. Song Rui himself had to study in his family's company and face all kinds of restrictions.
The children of big families looked glamorous on the outside, but in fact, they were the only ones who knew what it was like.
Xia Ruofei's company was not big, but that kind of freedom and entrepreneurial sense of achievement was enough to make Song Rui envious.
Song Rui's identity was special, so Xia Ruofei did not introduce it to the guests in detail. Therefore, the luncheon was naturally still centered around Wu Liqian.
Song Rui was naturally not unhappy about this. He was a person who advocated freedom. This could be seen when he wanted to escape his marriage and go abroad. Therefore, he did not like this kind of social occasions.
Moreover, this was a luncheon hosted by his good brother Xia Ruofei. Even if Young Master Song wanted to put on airs in front of others, he would not put on airs in front of Xia Ruofei.
Song Rui obviously did not recognize Wu Liqian, whom he had met a few years ago.
Wu Liqian naturally knew the rules. She did not rashly chat with Song Rui. She only intentionally or unintentionally toasted Song Rui a few more glasses of wine.
The luncheon ended in a happy atmosphere, and the guests left one after another.
As the host, Xia Ruofei took Ling Qingxue to the small square of the complex building to shake hands and say goodbye to them one by one.
Ling Qingxue had gradually entered the role of the hostess. She did not leave with her father. She and Xia Ruofei had not been together for a few days. Now that she had a legitimate reason, she naturally wanted to stay and relieve the pain of lovesickness.
What surprised Xia Ruofei was that Wu Liqian was not in a hurry to leave either.
After the guests left, Wu Liqian walked in front of Xia Ruofei and Ling Qingxue. She smiled and said, "Xiao Xia, congratulations again! Your business is getting bigger and bigger. "
"Thank you, Sister Wu." Xia Ruofei smiled.
Since the outsiders had left, Xia Ruofei naturally would not call Wu Liqian "County Magistrate Wu" in a serious manner.
Ling Qingxue held Xia Ruofei's arm. She looked at Wu Liqian and asked, "County Magistrate Wu stayed behind. Do you have any instructions?"
Wu Liqian could feel the slight hostility from Ling Qingxue, but she did not care. She only looked at the paper box in Ling Qingxue's hand and said, "I don't dare to say that I have instructions. I am just interested in Master Song's inscription for Xiao Xia, so I took the liberty to stay and feast my eyes on it."
