Chapter 610: Chapter 213: Sun Dasheng: Easy Work, High Pay, Close to Home—Villagers, Come Back Quickly! (Part 2)

"Secretary Zhu, you must act fast, especially regarding the paper mills in that Along the River Town, quickly get them relocated. Across the Yangtze River is Hunan’s largest Yangtze River Wharf. We have the advantage of water transportation, it’s accessible, with low freight costs. We can establish an automobile assembly plant. "

Upon hearing about the automobile factory, Secretary Zhu was no longer sleepy and excitedly held Sun Dasheng’s hand, saying, "President Sun, I didn’t expect you own an automobile company. Which one is it?"

Although he was excited at this moment, he could still hold back. He had to first settle this matter, otherwise, the promises made by the other party would be in vain if not realized.

Sun Dasheng felt a bit amused looking at him but understood his caution. Without this cautious attitude, the tangled relationships in the county these years might have already pushed this ambitious leader out.

"Weima Automobile and..."

"Weima Automobile? Isn’t that Baidu’s?" Secretary Zhu had heard about this brand as it was recently quite popular online.

He heard it was acquired by Baidu and is fostering Baidu Series intelligent driving cars.

"Yes, this automobile was originally entirely acquired by me, but now I’ve allocated 51% of the shares to Baidu. So now, it’s a Baidu-controlled subsidiary, although I still have some say. Building an automobile assembly plant here is no problem."

Sun Dasheng explained slowly.

"Great! That’s wonderful!" Secretary Zhu’s face was flushed with excitement.

Suddenly remembering that he seemed to have interrupted the previous conversation, he somewhat embarrassedly said, "What else did you say?"

Sun Dasheng smiled, "Secretary Zhu, I have another automobile company."

Secretary Zhu asked incredulously, "Another one?"

Everyone knows automobile companies aren’t like any other random startups, even a modest one is worth tens or hundreds of billions.

He knew the man in front of him was the wealthiest individual in the county, but he didn’t expect him to be this rich. His assets must be worth far more than a hundred billion!

Goodness, he’s not just the richest in the county; he might be the richest in the city... no, the province.

"Yes, I recently went to Little Day and acquired their Mazda."

"What?" Secretary Zhu could no longer contain his emotions.

When it came to new automotive forces like Weima, Secretary Zhu had only heard of them in passing.

But talking about a century-old popular brand like Mazda, it’s a household name.

Unexpectedly, such a globally famous car brand was acquired by him.

The identity of the person in front of him became even more mysterious.

This person must be extraordinary, much more than meets the eye.

Yes, he must have someone backing him.

"Alright, for attracting previous polluting enterprises, the industrial park in Along the River Town was established, just right for your use."

"Not enough, that industrial park area is not sufficient."

"No problem, you visited it with me before, the area around the industrial park is mostly uninhabited tidal flats, the land is very easy to get approval. I’ll let the county’s construction companies start work, improve the facilities, and be ready for your arrival."

Seeing the big promises drawn by Sun Dasheng, Secretary Zhu made commitments without hesitation.

"How large does the automobile factory need to be so that the government can assist with recruitment?"

Secretary Zhu asked.

"Each factory is designed for an annual production capacity of 100,000 vehicles, requiring about 4,000 employees, totaling around 8,000."

"Secretary Zhu, why do you ask? As far as I know, this kind of job requires the operation of complex robots, and employees must at least be high-level talents with a bachelor’s degree. It is generally companies recruiting on their own; can the government recruit so many people?"

Sun Dasheng asked curiously.

Secretary Zhu didn’t hide his thoughts: "It’s not for other reasons, just hoping to reserve these positions for locally trained talents. Every year so many local young university graduates, and yet like their fathers twenty years ago, choose to work south; we can’t retain the talent, so how will our county develop?"

"In the end, economic development still relies on talent."

"I think these local talents, if able to find jobs in their hometown comparable to those in big southern cities, they would also be willing to stay. "

Sun Dasheng pondered, realizing that decisions ultimately still focused on the overall development of the county.

Now urban development is nearing maturity and saturation, shifting from competition for production to competition for talent.

"Alright, regarding recruitment, I’ll leave it to the government to worry, but our company’s human resources department has the final evaluation, and if it’s not up to standard..."

"If they don’t meet the standard, you can refuse; the government won’t make things difficult for you."

Sun Dasheng smiled, "I’m not a person who doesn’t understand; the company will have some flexible quotas, not to make things too difficult for the government."

He knew that some relationships are impossible to eliminate, and rather than blocking, it’s better to have control.

Secretary Zhu patted his shoulder, sighed, and said nothing more, just looked at the rolling eastward Yangtze River water, lost in thought.

....

The conversation by the river ended.

Things began to move on the right track.

Besides the construction of two automobile assembly plants in Along the River Town, which would take some time, the county’s economic development zone’s factories were already completed, ready for use.

Sun Dasheng began to demonstrate his financial power.

Previous enterprises were difficult to relocate, and relocating them would affect local jobs and taxes.

So he spent to build a second factory.

If relocation is tricky, isn’t building a second factory alright?

As for the workers and machinery needed for the second factory, they were ready to be transferred from the first factory.

Supporting brother factory construction.

They’ll return, don’t worry.

These factories are widely distributed: various food factories, beverage factories, daily chemical factories (like Shashi Daily Chemical Huo Li Er Ba), garment processing factories, textile factories, toy factories...

Under the general company allocation, all large and small factories orderly settled.

The county’s GDP data visibly grew rapidly.

Consequently, there was a wave of return migration from county workers who had gone out to work.

With the convenience of WeChat and Douyin spreading information, news of many new factories in their hometown needing recruits traveled across hometown networks.

Moreover, it’s said the salary is similar, if not higher, than outside jobs.

This news is not a rumor but endorsed by government staff.

Though initially skeptical, as the once deserted economic development zone became bustling, with recruitment lines blocking factory entrances, people had no choice but to believe.

So a significant return migration began.

Receiving a local salary comparable to outside, why would anyone still want to leave home for a living?

Working in their hometown allows taking care of children and elders nearby, achieving multiple goals; even the lowest-level workers understand this clearly.

So shortly after, all the positions in the major factories were in emergency demand.

Government departments had to release messages: "Recruitment positions full, further notice awaits!"

The enthusiasm of the hometown folks deeply touched Sun Dasheng. Seeing Secretary Zhu visiting with a furrowed brow, Sun Dasheng proposed a solution: "Those returning without recruitment slots, based on train tickets, our company can reimburse the ticket costs, and we’ll also cover return ticket costs."

Upon hearing this, Secretary Zhu’s brow relaxed: "I thank President Sun on behalf of the local residents. Without compensation, I fear potential mass actions."

Yes, a major concern for leaders is mass actions under their governance; higher authorities won’t care about the reasons; consequences will land on you. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Even if you had well-meaning intentions that turned sour.

"Secretary Zhu, no need for that; I’m also part of the county."

"You’re being too formal."

"Alright, I’ll do self-criticism, haha..." Secretary Zhu was in good spirits and even joked around.

"Unexpectedly, the enthusiasm of the folks is so high, but this year’s plan is already tight; next year, we should plan more factories to increase job opportunities significantly."

Sun Dasheng thought for a moment and said to Secretary Zhu.
