Chapter 271: Thoreau-esque romance
After the Spring Festival, Ivanov had already used state relations to completely open up the Romanian market, and the first shipment to Romania had already been shipped out at the end of the first month.
The factory was expanded again, and at the same time, Jasmine also led the team to negotiate the acquisition plan with two other food companies in the county, and successfully incorporated those two food companies into our company and became our company's branches.
Jasmine's strategy is undoubtedly the most correct decision for the company's development needs at this stage, if it is still the same as before blindly expanding our own company, it is really difficult to meet the pace of the company's development today, if we can reintegrate the industry, mergers and acquisitions of those smaller volumes, we have the strength to swallow the company, it is naturally twice the result with half the effort.
This once again shows Jasmine's business acumen and vision, and I feel very relieved to give her all the rights, and I know that in some ways, I am very inadequate compared to her.
At the time of the financial accounting a year ago, Xiaoyu told me that after all the investments and the share given to Jasmine, the company already had nearly nine-figure assets on its books.
When I first heard this number, I was a little shocked, since Jasmine joined, the company has grown faster than I expected under her leadership.
When I first established the company, I never imagined that the company would develop to such a scale in just over two years, and it has become a leader in the industry.
There are also more and more workers in the factories, and the people who come to work are no longer limited to people near the town, and many workers come from far away.
Therefore, out of the needs of workers, the company improved the company's facilities and built a staff dormitory building next to the factory. The village has gradually become lively, due to the gradual increase in the number of foreign population, there are a lot of vendors, such as small restaurants, small supermarkets, barber shops, snack bars, breakfast shops, and gradually there is some commercial atmosphere, which I really did not expect.
Seeing all these changes, I have to admit that my company has really changed a lot of things, and I have benefited no longer only the villagers in my village, but also the people within dozens of miles with the company as the center have gained some benefits. This can be seen from the leaders of the town government who come to visit the company twice in three days, and they will never hesitate to approve anything that needs to be approved by them.
When the weather warmed up, the town leaders approached me to discuss something else, and they wanted me to fund the construction of a school for the town. I had been thinking about this for a long time, because I often heard workers complaining privately about the long distance their children had to go to school.
In the early years, due to the economic backwardness of the local area, the town could not even afford to open a school, and the students had to go to other towns dozens of miles away to go to school. Every Friday afternoon, a significant number of factory workers take time off work to pick up their children from school.
So I came up with the idea of running a school, and this time the town leaders took the initiative to talk to me about it, and I naturally had no reason to refuse, and with my current wealth, building a school is really not a big deal.
The location of the school is located in the middle of the village and the town, which is naturally elegant, and this place can take into account the more villages near the town, so that these villages are not too far from the school, and it is convenient for students to go to and from school to the greatest extent.
Once the idea is established
The project began to be implemented immediately, and the town leaders meant to try to get the children to the new school in the fall, and there was still half a year to go, so it should not be a problem for the project to catch up.
I handed over this matter to the village director to be responsible for the overall planning, considering that the village director is old, I have removed him from the breeding base a few years ago, and now I have arranged for someone else to be in charge of the breeding base.
The village director was very happy that I was able to entrust him with important responsibilities, and showed up at the construction site of the new school on time every day to urge the construction workers to speed up the progress. With him here, I am confident that the school will be able to carry out teaching work as scheduled in the next semester.
Don Jr. and Jasmine finally came together, and they became a sweet couple, but occasionally Jasmine still looked at me with resentment. She even told me that she was indeed in love with Don Jr., but she still loved me, and her words made me uncomfortable, because Don Jr. was by her side when she said this, and when I looked at Don Jr. with a little embarrassment, I found that he was looking at me and smiling without saying a word, which shows that this is not the first time Jasmine has said this.
In addition to being helpless, all I can do is to avoid being alone with Jasmine as much as possible, even if there are occasional work reasons that I can't avoid getting along, I will call Xiao Tang to join me.
Xiao Tang didn't mind much about this, and even thought I was a little too hypocritical, in his words: "There is no need for this between you and my brothers!" ”
By the time summer comes, the new school has already been built with an enclosure, and only needs to be renovated and equipped with some outdoor facilities.
The work of the Education Bureau has been done well, the leaders of the town have already taken back their qualifications, and as long as we have the teachers and the conditions to run the school, we can open the school.
Through the website, I have hired a retired old principal who has devoted his life to education, and now he can be said to be old and virtuous.
After I explained to him the situation here, he seemed very happy and said to me confidently: "You can rest assured, it is my honor to be able to dedicate my last light and heat to the cause of education here, you can leave it to me, you don't have to worry about teachers, I can solve this, you can rest assured that the quality of teaching will not be worse than the schools in the county or even the city!" ”
The principal's words made me very relieved, and I believe that since a person like him can say such a thing, it is naturally not a mouthful.
The town leaders also sent some staff to cooperate with the principal, on the one hand, to step up the construction and decoration of the school's final facilities, and on the other hand, to recruit teachers and go to the countryside to visit the villages and count the number of students.
Looking at the old principal's busy and orderly work state, I was even more relieved, if Xindao solved the problem of the difficulty of students in the town to go to school, it could be regarded as another good deed, and I was relieved.
After the summer vacation, the school opened smoothly as expected, and on this day, in addition to the leaders of the town government to celebrate in person, even the Municipal Education Commission specially lined up two people to guide the work.
Almost all of the children in the town who had been attending other schools have moved to our new school, with classes from the first grade to the lower secondary level, and the teachers are fully equipped to meet the needs of the school.
It is said that on the day of the opening of the school, the commissioner of the Education Commission specially wanted to meet me, a well-known private entrepreneur, and I also funded this school in my own name. In their words, I have made a great contribution to the cause of education.
It's just that as the funder of the school, I didn't show up at the founding ceremony, and I really didn't like such an occasion, and I have handed over all matters to the principal.
While the school leaders celebrated the establishment, I built my canoe in my yard.
One morning I went to the beach for a run, and I found a log floating from somewhere, more than one meter in diameter, and I was very happy to see it, so I asked Da Zhuang to help me transport this log back to my yard.
I thought what I could make it into. After thinking about it, I finally decided to transform it into a canoe. I wanted to experience Thoreau's idyllic life on Walden, where he was lonely and lonely, but he was willing to fish, hunt and farm.
There is no Walden, but there is a sea, no land for me to cultivate, but I have a green yard, I don't have a log house in the woods, but I have an old house away from the crowds. I seem to be able to understand why Thoreau's lonely time in the woods in the eighties of the last century made him so happy and satisfied.
It seems that I am in that state now, and I am probably short of a canoe that can float on the water all day long compared to Thoreau.
So I bought a chisel and a hammer and an axe, and began my own Thoreau romance in my yard.
I used an axe to peel the logs, flatten one side, and then began hollowing out the trunks with a hammer and chisel to create the cabin. Although I am not productive, I have my own pleasure, which I don't think others will understand.
As for the school, everything has been arranged, and although I have the title of honorary headmaster, I don't need to show up at all, and I believe that the old headmaster will arrange everything properly.
What I didn't know was that after I did this, the story about me had quietly spread among the people. Of course, they are all unanimously praised.
I naturally learned that it was only later that I went to the town to buy food and overheard a few people talking about me in person, and I realized that I had already become famous, and luckily my name was not known by many people.
As I said, life is unpredictable, and you can't predict the consequences of your small actions.
Just like I built this school, I wouldn't have known that I would get into another emotional entanglement because of it.
When everything comes, we suddenly realize that every unintentional act and every casual choice we make actually has its unchangeable fate.
It was another twilight day, and it seemed that all stories began with a beautiful backdrop, and this time was no exception.
Half a day of burning clouds are red and gorgeous, the sunset has not yet sunk into the sea, the sparkling sea surface is dyed golden by the sunset, dazzling and dazzling people dare not stare for a long time.
Then, the moment the sun dips into the sea level, the sea surface changes from gold to a soft orange red, which is the reflection of the sunset.
It was in this kind of scenery that I met another woman in my life who made my heart ache so much, her name is Huai'en!
