Now the obvious candidate is Liu Ruolan. In terms of management level, she returned from studying in the United States and has been working in the family business for a while. It is basically not difficult to manage such a fully industrialized industry. In addition, she is the hostess. With the full support of the Liu family and the Zhou family behind him, it goes without saying that he is authoritative.
It also eliminates one of Zhou Wen's hidden worries, that is, anything could happen to him after he goes to the battlefield. If someone has bad thoughts about his property and family, Liu Ruolan, the hostess, can take care of a lot of things at the rear. Human greed, after all, the daughter of the Liu family, one of the three great families, is not something that ordinary people can afford to offend.
This can't be blamed for Zhou Wen having an idea for his wife before he got married, nor does it mean that his love with Liu Ruolan is not pure. But under the general trend of resisting Japan, as Zhou Wen's wife, you have to shoulder your due responsibilities and obligations. This has nothing to do with feelings or purity, but has something to do with whether you are Zhou Wen's wife.
Although Liu Ruolan has not been in Shanxi for a long time, since she has connected with Zhou Wen, the two have been getting along and communicating very harmoniously, and they have a tacit understanding of everything they say and do.
Both of them felt a little incredible about this. To use Zhou Wen's cheeky words, they must have been husband and wife in the previous life. The marriage in the previous life was not over, so they had no choice but to be husband and wife again in this life.
However, Liu Ruolan had no grudge against Zhou Wenyou's intention to entrust the family business to her, and the love in her heart only increased instead of decreasing. Instead, she felt like it should be. The deeper she got to know Zhou Wen, the more she felt that this little man extraordinary.
Now that I have found such an excellent and ambitious lover, I naturally have to do my best to assist him and be his good wife.
Zhou Wen seemed to know what she was thinking, and without any further explanation in this regard, he directly introduced his business to her one by one, telling her his original idea of starting a business and his future plans without reservation.
Although Liu Ruolan came from a wealthy family and was used to big scenes, she couldn't help but admire Zhou Wen's vision and layout.
Taking advantage of Taobao during the Great Depression in the United States, this kind of prophetic vision is not something ordinary people can possess. Liu Ruolan was surprised that someone who had never been to the United States had a better understanding of this country's economy and policies than herself, who had studied abroad for many years. People still know.
However, the result was that Zhou Wen brought the most generous returns with the least investment. At a cost far lower than the market price, he bought steelmaking equipment representing the latest American technology and a large number of technical talents.
Now in the steel plant, there are dozens of engineers and technical workers hired from the United States. It can be said that in every workshop and every process of the steel plant, there are skilled American workers leading the way. This is also the case for Lishi Steel Plant. A key factor in producing high-quality steel in a short period of time and making a profit quickly.
Zhou Wen also built a large number of houses and two-story villas in the Lishi New Residential District. Ordinary workers were allocated a two-bedroom bungalow, while engineers and senior technicians were directly allocated a villa. He just wants everyone working in Lishi Industrial Park to have a place to live and feel at ease.
It should also be mentioned here that when Zhou Wen was teaching in Nanjing, he asked Gao Xiaoshan to take people to Ertang Village in Henan Province to move all the dozens of families with old people and children from the original supplementary group to Lishi, regardless of whether they were willing to work in the factory or not. Each family is assigned a house, especially the immediate family members of the first team members, and each family is assigned a villa.
Now, Zhou Wen has completely fulfilled the promise he made when he left Henan, so that the relatives of the original supplementary group have a good home, and they no longer have to live in fear. I think Wang Huzi will be in heaven, and he will feel extremely relieved.
Of course, Zhou Wen introduced Liu Ruolan to these situations. His words were intended to tell Liu Ruolan who were his true friends and who could be a source of help at critical moments.
In Lishi today, due to the construction and production of industrial parks, the immigrant population is increasing. Thousands of workers work in steel mills and power plants. Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and there are factions. Representatives of various factions have different interests and have different demands. This requires someone to take charge of the overall situation and balance the relationship between all parties.
Zhou Wen's idea is that before the advent of the all-out war of resistance, a considerable amount of steel must be used for strategic reserves, and it will become the raw material for the mercenary group to produce ammunition for a long period of time after the war of resistance begins.
You must know that in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese army had overwhelming air force superiority. Even if Lishi could be defended from being captured by the Japanese army, the Japanese aircraft would not let go of strategic targets such as steel plants. It would be extremely difficult to achieve normal production. . As long as the power plants and ammunition factories are reduced in size, they can be relocated to the mountains.
Today, the people who accompanied Zhou Wen and the others to visit the steel plant include, in addition to Hongxiu and Wang Xiaohu, two die-hard followers, Zhou Wen’s uncle Wang Wenzhao, cousin county magistrate Wang Chenghao, the factory director assigned by the Liu family, and the chief engineer of the steel plant. , Lin Yun, the big shopkeeper of Fuyuan Company, and others, it is equivalent to Zhou Wen's entire team in Lishi except the army were present.
Zhou Wen wanted to announce Liu Ruolan's existence to everyone in the base camp today, and let Liu Ruolan fully understand the production situation of each factory.
Zhou Wen's time is very tight now, and he must completely entrust his family's financial resources to Liu Ruolan while falling in love.
He doesn't know why, although he has only known her for a short time, and although she comes from a wealthy family, no one knows whether she will use the results of Zhou Wen's hard work for several years under the pressure of her family when something unexpected happens to Zhou Wen. Swallow it in one gulp.
But Zhou Wen just believed in her, believed in this woman whom he loved unreservedly for the first time in his two lives.
Zhou Wen has always had a hidden worry, that is, working hard in the rain of bullets all year round, he never knows that one day his life will be taken away by a bullet or a cannonball.
Having already experienced death, he was not afraid of death. After being reborn in this era, he knew that his mission and meaning of life was to devote himself to the anti-Japanese cause without hesitation by relying on the experience and knowledge accumulated in his two lives.
In his previous life, every time he saw the history of the Anti-Japanese War and the evocative and extremely humiliating stories, he saw those national heroes who faced the Japanese aircraft and artillery with their flesh and blood but never flinched and marched forward bravely and died heroically. As a Chinese, I always feel a fire burning in my heart when I see the heinous and brutal crimes committed by those Japanese beasts who can no longer be called human beings.
And this period of history seemed so helpless and humiliating to the Chinese people in previous lives.
