1980s: He was picked up and brought home as a son-in-law

Chen Jianshe thought Zhou Feng was holding a grudge against Sun Fuqiang for his rude remarks, and said with a smile:

"Although Sun Fuqiang is a bit short-sighted, he is still good at doing things. He was a top farmer when he was in the production team, otherwise he would not have become the village chief."

Zhou Feng knew that Chen Jianshe had misunderstood, but he had reminded him of what he should have done. If he continued to talk about it, people would think he was deliberately retaliating, so he stopped talking about it.

In the afternoon, the old and the young went to Hongshi Commune together.

Wu Yongfei was even more low-key than he had imagined. He stood at the door of the office in a faded military coat with his sleeves covered.

"Uncle Chen, why did you think of me, your cheap nephew?"

"Haha, you are just talking nonsense. Let me introduce you to Zhou Feng."

"Director Wu!" Zhou Feng stepped forward and shook hands with Wu Yongfei.

Wu Yongfei enthusiastically invited the two into the office and poured water for them.

If Zhou Feng hadn't known in advance, he would never have believed that this was the son of Wu Di, a founding hero.

Chen Jianshe and Wu Yongfei were very familiar with each other, so he didn't say anything polite and directly told them his intention.

Wu Yongfei didn't take it seriously at first, but the more he listened, the brighter his eyes became. When he heard the last sentence, he slapped his thigh and said:

"My back is itchy, please give me a scratch."

"The city just held a meeting a few days ago. Because of a series of problems caused by the return of educated youth, the state is now encouraging the development of commune-brigade enterprises to solve some employment problems. I was worried about it these days, and you came."

Chen Jianshe was very happy to hear this, thinking that this matter was 80% done, but Wu Yongfei gave him another blow.

"However, the project you chose is not very good. Currently, we encourage planting, breeding, agricultural and sideline product processing, and even the production of building materials, such as bricks, tiles, cement, etc."

"I know you have your own plans for choosing antennas, but this requires raw materials such as copper and aluminum, which means competing with state-owned enterprises for the supply of raw materials. The industrial and commercial approval is easily blocked. If you insist on doing it, it’s fine, but the commune’s financial resources are too limited, so it can only give priority to supporting the industries I mentioned earlier."

"Why don't you build a brick and tile factory?"

Chen Jianshe's face was a little gloomy. Brick and tile factories and cement factories are the most popular industries for village-run enterprises. The technology is low and there is no problem selling them.

But Kaoshantun is not an option. He has already investigated and found that there is no suitable soil around Kaoshantun. Raw materials are a problem, and the more troublesome thing is the transportation problem. Kaoshantun is too remote and has no advantage when the transportation cost is taken into account.

Wu Yongfei was also a little worried after hearing this. He had thought about building a road, but a good cook cannot cook without rice. The commune has no money, and building a road is a big expense.

"Is there really no other way?" Chen Jianshe said with some bitterness.

"If you are optimistic about this industry, the commune can also support it. I will take care of the formalities, and you will have to solve all other problems."

Chen Jianshe and Zhou Feng understood that Wu Yongfei meant that he could help them from a personal perspective, but they had to solve the raw material supply, sales and even funds just mentioned by themselves.

And the meaning of his words was also very clear. He himself was not very optimistic about the antenna industry. It was too restrictive.

Chen Jianshe was not very satisfied with the result and wanted to say something. However,

Zhou Feng gently patted the old branch secretary's hand. Wu Yongfei was very respectful to achieve this level when he was not optimistic at all. Chen Jianshe could shamelessly make some requests for him and the villagers of Kaoshantun, but Zhou Feng did not want to consume Chen Jianshe in this way.

"Director Wu, I will do as you say, but I have an idea. Please see if it is feasible."

"You say."

Wu Yongfei was somewhat uninterested. If it wasn't for Chen Jianshe's sake, he wouldn't have continued the conversation. He had already said this, but Zhou Feng still wanted to build the antenna factory. He didn't know whether to say he was persistent or stubborn. After all, he was still young!

"The factory is located in Kaoshantun, and the factory building is located in the warehouse of the village branch. I want absolute control over the factory, including the appointment and removal of personnel and the development direction of the factory. The commune will not conduct direct management, but only enjoy the distribution of profits."

Wu Yongfei was almost amused by this ignorant boy. He could even make such a request. I don't know who gave him the courage.

"Why should I agree to your request? Once the factory suffers losses, the commune will have to clean up the mess in the end. Isn't this asking for trouble?"

Zhou Feng smiled and didn't care about Wu Yongfei's attitude. His request was indeed excessive, but the premise was that the commune could not provide any support.

"You also said that the commune is the main body. You only considered the loss of the factory in the end. What if it succeeds? The commune accounts for 60%, taking away most of the profits, and there is no support. If I don’t have the dominant power of the factory, how can I build this factory?"

Wu Yongfei labeled Zhou Feng arrogant again at this moment. He was really confident to the point of arrogance.

Before he could refute Zhou Feng, he spoke again.

"Of course, as the leader of the commune, you must consider the consequences of the factory's losses. I can sign an agreement with the commune. If this happens, I will bear all the losses. If I can't bear it, you can arrest me."

"Of course, putting me in jail won't help solve the problem, but this is my attitude."

Wu Yongfei didn't react, but Chen Jianshe was somewhat moved, and said decisively:

"If that happens, I am willing to take the responsibility together!"

As soon as Chen Jianshe said this, Wu Yongfei could no longer maintain his previous attitude. He still admired this elder very much. After a slight silence, he nodded gently. He waved his hand weakly and said:

"Just do as you said, and go and handle the formalities later. I hope you won't let Uncle Chen down."

When Wu Yongfei said this, Chen Jianshe and Zhou Feng both breathed a sigh of relief, and the stagnant air in the office began to flow again.

Zhou Feng then followed a clerk from the commune to run around for formalities, and only returned to the village with Chen Jianshe after submitting all the information.

By the time Chen Jianshe was sent home, it was completely dark.

Zhou Feng rode his bicycle home, and just as he walked to a sparsely populated place, a figure rushed out of the darkness.

Afraid of hitting someone, Zhou Feng subconsciously pulled the handlebars to the side, and as a result, he felt a hit on his back, making a bang, and the bicycle lost balance.

The moment he fell, Zhou Feng realized that someone had done something to him....
