When we arrived at Director Huang's office, he poured me another glass of water and said to me: "Xiao Chen, what happened to Boss Wei last time is really thanks to you. Otherwise, I would really be sorry for the whole village.
I, the village chief, have no shame in going down like this."
I smiled and said straight to the point: "Director Huang, didn't you say last time that you didn't know how to develop the industry in the village? I have an idea here."
"Oh, tell me what you think." Director Huang sat next to me as if he was very interested.
"It's like this. I want to open a small workshop in our village, and I want to ask Director Huang to help me get a business license."
"Open a small workshop at your home?" Director Huang frowned, seeming a little difficult to do.
I know this is quite difficult. After all, the village is self-built for civilian use and is not a commercial building. It is very difficult to get a business license. Otherwise, I would not come to see Director Huang.
I nodded and said, "Yes, it's just a clothing workshop."
When Director Huang heard this, he immediately said: "If you make clothing, that's no problem. As long as it doesn't involve environmental pollution and noise issues, then there's no problem."
When I heard this, I said excitedly: "Really? Then Director Huang, I will trouble you about this."
"Okay, I hope those of you who are doing big things outside will come back to your hometown to do some practical things. This will help the construction of your hometown. The town will definitely support this."
I didn't expect it to go so smoothly, so I asked again: "By the way, Director Huang, are there any people at home in our village who have any technical expertise?"
Director Huang was silent for a while and said: "Not many. Many college students are working outside. There are only some elderly people in the village, but there are a few younger people who can't say much."
"It's okay, just one or two will be fine."
"Hey, I'm thinking about it." Director Huang picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea.
I was not in a hurry to ask. After a while of silence, Director Huang asked me: "Xiao Chen, what specific technical expertise are you referring to?"
"Any electrician, lathe worker, or someone who has worked in a garment factory outside will be fine."
After another period of silence, Director Huang said: "As you said, there is one person, Wu Jianbo in the village, who used to work in a power plant. Some of them have electrician certificates and have worked in clothing factories, but I have to go and make detailed statistics."
I nodded and said, "Okay, Director Lao Huang will make a trip for me."
"It's okay, Xiao Chen! I support you if you can go back to your hometown to do your business. Wouldn't it be better if you can bring your fellow villagers with you?"
After continuing to chat with Director Huang for a while, I returned home from the village office.
The next step is to prepare to use the house as a production workshop and office. The conditions are a bit crude, but it is better than nothing.
However, after discussing with An Lan that night, we felt that once the workshop was opened, the legal representative must not be me, Gu Lisa or Li Sheng.
Li Yuchen will definitely target me. If the legal representative is me or someone Li Sheng knows, then our small workshop will not be able to operate at all.
We just need to take control. As for the legal representative, we can let someone whom Li Yuchen doesn't know at all assume the responsibility. Of course, the risk lies with us.
Based on this matter, the only person I can think of is Zhang Bin. Li Yuchen does not know Zhang Bin at all, so it is most appropriate for him to be the legal representative.
The next morning I went to the street and found Zhang Bin. He was sitting in the store, looking lifeless, and there was no business in the store.
After I walked into the store, Zhang Bin thought there was a customer and hurriedly raised his head to look at me.
"Brother Feng, why are you here?"
"I want to talk to you about something. I'm not busy now."
Zhang Bin spread his hands and said: "It's been half the morning and there's not a single customer. But the newly opened hardware store has a much better business than me."
"Don't worry, I have a good thing for you."
"What's a good thing?" Zhang Bin immediately asked excitedly.
I found a place to sit down, took out a cigarette and handed him a cigarette, and then said slowly: "I'm going to open a small workshop, and I'm going to let you be the legal representative."
