The Lord of the World Begins from the Siheyuan

Chapter 691: Stop holding it in!
Huang Fuyi lamented the cheapness of land in Australia.

Ah Hai agreed very much, "This is a farm with a good location. Those in remote places only cost a few cents per acre."

"The people we transported here have worked here for three or four years. If they can save money, they can buy a farm of 1,000 acres."

If the farm is not for self-occupation but for investment and appreciation, a land tax of 1% of the total amount needs to be paid every year.

This is the fundamental reason why land prices are not high. The holding costs for investors are not low, which curbs the speculation of hot money.

Huang Fuyi commented: "It's not difficult to save money to buy a small farm, but you can't make much money from farming."

"It's not convenient to live in a remote place. If someone robs you, no one can help you."

This is the direct reason for allowing guns. The cost of public security management is too high, which directly gives residents the right to self-defense.

A Hai also thought about the difficulties, "The yield per mu is low, and it is really difficult to make money from farming."

"The prices are also high. If food and accommodation are not included, I can barely live here on HK$300 per month."

Huang Fuyi wondered: "I have never understood why these locals are unwilling to sell their farms and go to southern cities where it is easier to make money and live a better life."

"The progress of acquiring the farm is a bit slow, and I don't know when Director Li will come to Australia for inspection. I will definitely be reprimanded if I don't do my job well."

Although the acquisition of the farm has nothing to do with Ah Hai, Huang Fuyi is having a hard time, and there is no benefit to him. "It would be great if those large farms were willing to sell. If you buy a farm, it will cost tens of thousands of acres."

Huang Fuyi nodded, "Yes."

Ah Hai helped think of a way and said: "How about we spread some rumors?"

Huang Fuyi asked with great interest: "What rumors?"

Ahai still started from the gang perspective, "Just say that so-and-so farm was killed and robbed."

"Let's make up more scary stories. Anyway, there is no real case and the Sheriff will not pay attention to it."

"Scare those farmers, maybe some timid people will leave here."

Huang Fuyi was inspired, "No need to make it up."

"Collect all the cases in Australia, no matter how long the time has passed, bring them all to Broome and publicize them vigorously."

"Those gangsters in the tavern let them go around drinking and bragging."

The problem seemed to be solved, and Ah Hai chatted: "Director Li asked us to abide by the law, otherwise we find some people to hang around various farms every day, and some of them will run away soon."

Huang Fuyi felt that he had an idea for his work and was in a good mood. He said patiently: "We are here to be kind to others and make money, not to make enemies. We still need to pay attention to our reputation."

Ah Hai is used to taking shortcuts through crooked ways. "Actually, we don't need our people to come forward. You can spend money to invite gangsters from Perth to come over."

Huang Fuyi thought of the last time he punished people in Hong Kong City, which led to a series of subsequent disturbances. "We should not make our own decisions or cause many troubles again."

"I'm about to take a flight to Perth. I'll make an international call back to Hong Kong City from the airport and report back first."

Ah Hai smiled and said: "You are still thoughtful and should ask Director Li for more instructions."

Li Ming will definitely not agree. He already regards Western Australia as his own territory and does not want the stable environment to be destroyed.

It is easy for the public security in a place to deteriorate, but to improve it again requires a lot of manpower and material resources.

It's just a farm purchase. He can't add 10% or 20% of the money. The problems that can be solved with money are small problems.

Xingchen Company has a large food business and requires a large amount of flour, sweet potato flour, sugar, pork, beef, etc.

There is a large demand for factories in Hong Kong City, Xinjia Singapore and Ribi. It is a very normal business behavior for investment companies in Hong Kong City to come to Australia to acquire farms.

If you want to save money and secretly transport workers from port cities to participate in farm production, it will not affect the Australian job market.

Induyang Investment Company can bring tax revenue and consumption, and has no adverse impact on local governance, public security, employment, etc.

These are the fundamental reasons why Li Ming's layout in Western Australia can be carried out smoothly.

The strength is not strong enough, he needs the low-key development of his subordinates who abide by the law.

At this time, Ou Mei's internal economic problems have not yet been resolved. Everyone is like a powder keg, and all kinds of messy things are no less than at home.

For example, the famous speaker of "I Have a Dream" was assassinated just on April 4th.

Australia's law that Aboriginal people are human beings has just been voted through.

Many famous laws decades later were introduced at this time.

The power in the East is now strong, and Ou Mei begins to shift from offense to defense, benefiting domestic labor and alleviating internal problems.

If Li Ming's Induyang Investment Company suddenly emerged, it would easily be used by some people as a punching bag to pass on internal conflicts.

Huang Fuyi and others' proposals were rejected by Lou Xiao'e before they were even submitted to Li Ming.

After making an international call at the airport, Huang Fuyi said thankfully: "Fortunately, I asked for instructions in advance. No need to do anything small, just buy it at a higher price."

Ah Hai has seen all kinds of dark sides, "If we add more money, others will probably think of us as a traitor."

Huang Fuyi said disapprovingly: "The chairman has thought of it a long time ago."

"Market price plus 20%, purchase 15 acres, take it as long as you have it, forget about it, and stop taking it when you have enough."

Ah Hai reminded: "When I came here, didn't Director Li say he wanted to acquire 20 acres?"

Huang Fuyi smiled quite proudly and said: "Ah Hai, you have a smart mind, but you still need more training in understanding the world."

"After the acquisition of 15 acres, if there are still people who want to sell, especially if some capable people want to sell, their farm areas are generally relatively large."

Ah Hai suddenly said: "I understand, this way we have enough room."

"I still need to learn more from you."

"It's a pity that although there are tens of thousands of square kilometers of land in Broome, there is not much land suitable for farming."

Huang Fuyi said confidently: "20 acres, which is just over 100 square kilometers, will definitely be no problem."

"Once we acquire the farm, the demand for farm employees here will increase significantly. You must work harder to transport people."

Ahai is also very confident, "Director Li has equipped us with 5 speedboats, and they are working hard to learn the control technology."

"When Director Li's cargo ship arrives, we will directly go to sea to pick up the people by speedboat without having to go to Port Hedland for transfer. The efficiency will be several times higher than now."

Huang Fuyi warned: "Keep an eye on them when you have time."

"I still say the same thing. I don't know when Director Li will come to Australia to inspect the work. We can't let things slip at this critical moment."

Ah Hai promised: "Don't worry, I'll give this task to Shaqiang. Shaqiang will not be lazy."

Huang Fuyi also knows Silly Qiang, "He won't be lazy, but he can be fooled easily."

Ah Hai said awkwardly: "I usually tell him a lot."

Huang Fuyi nodded and did not continue nagging, "The plane to Perth is not that fast yet. I have nothing to do. I will memorize the vocabulary for a while."

Ah Hai also took out his vocabulary book and said, "After studying it for a while, English doesn't seem to be difficult to learn."

Huang Fuyi casually said: "We communicate casually, and others know that our English is not good, and they will understand our difficulties if we make mistakes."

"If your English is like Lawyer Liang's, try it and see if it's difficult."

Ah Hai smiled and said: "A grammar book alone is so thick, it must be difficult."

Li Ming arranged a simplified version of English learning for these people.

There is a fact that the academic performance of local people is very average.

When foreigners use English in real life, they only need to know some very simple words to be able to meet the needs of speaking, listening and reading. People with zero knowledge can basically communicate in two or three months.

The more you use it, the more you'll become proficient. Plus, you'll be able to show off your hands and feet, and there's no obvious difference between you and the locals. Li Ming arranged for these people to learn English as reserve employees for various positions. In the future, there will be many jobs that require dealing with local Australians, so he tried his best to use the people he trained.

As for the people who will be shipped to the mainland in large numbers in the future, these people don’t need to learn English anymore. Of course, no one will stop them if they want to learn English.

Beijing.

Chief Chen Guodong wandered into the office of the Chief of the Security Section.

"I want to hear your opinion on this plan to streamline staff."

Li Ming was busy making tea, "I don't have any objections. You can't streamline me anyway."

Section Chief Chen worried: "The funds have been frozen, and the factory has no unplanned procurement tasks."

"More than half of the people in the third department of purchasing have to work in the workshop. It's really difficult for me to arrange who should go down."

Li Ming chuckled and said, "You might as well go out and campaign and try to become the deputy director of the factory committee."

"You have become the deputy director. It will be easy to arrange Brother Qian and Brother Hu."

Section Chief Chen said in disbelief: "I'll jump in and become the deputy director!?"

Li Ming confirmed: "What's wrong with this?"

"You are also a member of the factory committee now. It is normal for you to be promoted to deputy director."

Section Chief Chen took the tea cup and said, "I am at the deputy director level."

Li Ming poured himself a cup and smelled the tea, "Why do you still use such outdated rules?"

"There are a bunch of deputy directors in the Beijing Municipal Committee who are not even deputy directors."

"You are not ignorant. You don't follow the old rules now."

Director Li Huaide is going to be transferred, and he doesn't know who the current director will be. If Li Ming recommends one of his own deputy directors, he will have more help in the factory in the future and save a lot of trouble.

Section Chief Chen counted on his fingers, "Deputy Director of Production, Deputy Director of Technology, Deputy Director of Supply and Marketing, Deputy Director of Human Resources, and Deputy Director of Life."

"You mean any of them can take over Director Li's class?"

"I think someone from outside will be transferred into the factory. There are no more positions in the factory."

Li Ming persuaded, "Everything depends on human effort. You can ask Director Li first. I think Director Li will support you."

Section Chief Chen remembered the purpose of this and said, "You are talking about nothing."

"I'd better consider arranging the people in our core first. Please help me come up with ideas."

Li Ming smiled and said: "It's actually very simple to arrange them."

Section Chief Chen urged: "Stop holding it in! Let out any farts immediately!"

In the entire Hongxing Steel Rolling Plant, except for that little girl Qin Huairu, only Chen Guodong dared to manipulate Li Ming like this. Everyone else, including Director Li, was very polite to him.

Li Ming did not keep the secret any longer. "The third purchasing department can no longer make purchases, but there are still ways to get supplies back."

"The breeding farm needs people to manage it. If there is a greenhouse or something like that, people also need to be responsible."

Chief Chen's thinking is also very flexible, "You mean to sell the greenhouse built by the joint venture to the factory?"

Li Ming blatantly carried his private goods, "My courtyard house also has a greenhouse built by a joint venture, and we sell it to the factory together."

"There are also pig farms in the ham sausage processing factory. These can be merged into a new department, which can accommodate people from the third department of procurement, and can also provide several positions for family members in the factory."

Section Chief Chen asked sharply: "How can the factory have the money to purchase these?"

"The acquisition report for the ham sausage branch has been pending for several days but has not been approved."

Li Ming answered: "Now that the funds are frozen, I don't have money to buy miscellaneous things, but I can use the welfare fund to pay in installments."

Section Chief Chen thought it seemed possible, "Does your compound agree?"

Li Ming affirmed: "We can only share some supplies purchased with public welfare funds, and we all think about disbanding."

The rule is that dividends cannot be distributed. In fact, the irregular greenhouse in No. 95 used to divide all the money except for the production expenses for the next season.

No one paid attention before, they operated casually, but now someone is watching, and it is a good thing to stop on the grounds that they cannot pay dividends.

He also wants to sell half of his own greenhouse and give half to the Sunflower Brigade.

Section Chief Chen decided: "I will go back to the section and talk to them."

Li Ming advised again: "You'd better look for Director Li."

"The superiors may also consider Director Li's opinion, and for the sake of stable production at the steel rolling mill, they may agree."

"Yeah." Section Chief Chen responded without saying anything more.

Li Ming actually didn't want Li Huaide to be promoted. Promotion would disrupt the balance of the steel rolling mill.

Now Li Huaide is the director of the steel rolling mill. With the support of Li Ming and others, he sticks to his word in the factory.

The other deputy directors all kept to their own standards and did not engage in any extraneous matters.

Employees with some ideas don't have the guts to emerge as influential figures like those in other factories.

He, Section Chief Li, had a happy little life. He walked around a few times at work, chatted with some security officers about daily life, worked hard, and then went back to his office to drink tea and read the newspaper.

When he was having meetings and studying in the factory, he was doing two things at once, dealing with affairs in his small world.

Occasionally, there would be problems that the ham processing factory couldn't handle, and he would convene staff for a meeting to coordinate.

Everything went as planned.

If Li Huaide is to be transferred, the other deputy directors will definitely take action.

Employees' minds may also fluctuate.

There are a lot of troubles in the factory, and the security department is the first to bear the brunt. The trivial matters that Li Ming has to deal with will increase significantly, which will waste his time.

night.

No. 95 Siheyuan.

With a tired face, Liu Haizhong returned to the courtyard holding his bicycle.

"Second uncle, you came back so late." "Second uncle, have you eaten?"

Liu Haizhong cheered up and said, "I ate in the factory and worked overtime for a while."

"Why did you come back?"

Wu Ming said casually: "Let's play table tennis."

Li Junyi added: "There are too many people on weekends, but there are slightly less people on weekdays."

Liu Haizhong didn't have time to explain to the two of them today, "It's good. You guys should rest early and don't be late for work tomorrow."

Wu Ming and Li Junyi casually dealt with it.

Seeing Liu Haizhong entering the backyard, Li Junyi asked in a low voice: "What's wrong with the second uncle?"
