Siheyuan: My wife is Xu Huizhen

Today, He Yuzhu suddenly felt his hands itchy for some reason, and he was thinking about showing off his cooking skills so that his lovely baby daughter Anna could taste his superb cooking skills as a father.

He started working right away. The kitchen was filled with the clanging of pots and pans. Soon, a table full of delicious food was prepared by He Yuzhu.

He happily picked up Anna and let her sit steadily on his lap. Looking at his well-behaved and lovely daughter, He Yuzhu said lovingly:

"My dear daughter, look at this table full of delicious food. They are all made by Daddy for you! Try them and see if you like them. If you want to eat them again in the future, Daddy can make them for you anytime."

Anna blinked her big watery eyes and responded sweetly:

"Thank you, daddy!"

After saying that, she couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of food and put it in her mouth and chewed it carefully.

Every time she tasted a dish, Anna would express her sincere admiration and was full of praise for He Yuzhu's cooking skills.

Those words of praise were like the warm sunshine in spring, which made He Yuzhu feel warm and happy, and the smile on his face became brighter.

After the family enjoyed this warm lunch and took a short rest, He Yuzhu got up and went into his wife Elena's room.

Only Du Weifang was left standing there alone, snorting helplessly.

There's nothing we can do about it. Who can blame them for being such a happy family of three?

She had no choice but to turn back to her room in disappointment, facing the empty bed alone and spending the long night.

For the next three days, He Yuzhu stayed with his wife and daughter, enjoying the family happiness.

However, life will eventually return to normal.

Seeing that his daughter was old enough to go to school, He Yuzhu asked around and finally found a kindergarten with a good reputation nearby for Anna, and sent her to the school smoothly.

In this way, he finally had some free time to manage the family business.

First, He Yuzhu dug out his long-treasured braised meat recipe, carefully selected the ingredients, and meticulously cooked a variety of delicious braised meat products.

Due to the unique flavor and mellow taste of his braised meat, it quickly became famous locally.

Gradually, several capable leaders under him helped him control five or six prosperous streets, and his business flourished.

Seeing that the time was ripe, He Yuzhu acted decisively, rented several spacious and bright storefronts in the area, and opened several stores named "He's Braised Meat Shop".

With excellent craftsmanship and good reputation, these shops are crowded with customers every day and business is booming. He Yuzhu's career can be said to be thriving.

At the same time, he not only successfully registered the Heji Company, but also successfully opened the Yuzhu Company.

Elena questioned, "Can your taste really cater to the crowd here?"

He Yuzhu thought for a moment and replied:

"At present, I'm afraid that some adjustments are still needed. Let's just do it this way for now. Next, I will spend some time to study the production process of roast chicken, roast goose and roast duck in depth."

As we all know, in the prosperous and bustling Hong Kong area, people have a special liking for roast goose, and there are all kinds of roast goose restaurants everywhere in the streets and alleys.

He Yuzhu himself has tasted the roast goose here and has to admit that the unique flavor is truly unforgettable.

However, all things are difficult at the beginning. At the beginning, the braised meat business was not satisfactory.

Due to the differences in food culture between the north and the south, the taste of southerners is different from that of northerners, so the taste of this braised meat does not seem to quite suit the preferences of the local public.

Fortunately, there are still a considerable number of northerners living here, and coupled with a series of preferential promotions launched in the early days of opening, business is barely acceptable.

When recruiting employees for the braised meat shop, He Yuzhu deliberately chose those who were former gangsters or their relatives.

The reason is simple. Although these people may have operated in a gray area in the past, they often know how to obey orders and have certain experience in the world.

Of course, He Yuzhu did not recruit them to his team in an attempt to get involved in underworld-related industries, but hoped to have a group of loyal, reliable and obedient subordinates, and gradually guide them to transform into qualified industrial workers.

In addition, in order to better meet customer needs and improve product quality, He Yuzhu also ingeniously set up a suggestion book in each store, and specially arranged for store staff to actively solicit opinions and suggestions from local people, and finally collect and organize them in a unified manner.

Based on these feedback information, he will make targeted improvements and optimizations to the taste of the braised meat.

After just a few days, He Yuzhu successfully adjusted the taste of the braised meat shop to just right, thereby attracting more and more customers, and the braised meat shop business is booming.

Although the daily profits were not particularly lucrative, they were enough to make his gang of gangsters feel grateful.

After all, as business improved, the family's financial income did increase significantly.

Seeing that the business of the braised meat shop was gradually getting on track, He Yuzhu immediately embarked on his second important task - establishing a training school.

In fact, He Yuzhu had already had a clear plan for opening a training school, because he had accumulated a lot of relevant experience before that.

It’s just that we haven’t been able to purchase the ideal industrial building as the school site yet.

However, this did not pose a problem for He Yuzhu. Relying on his own connections and resources, he quickly rented an entire house in the area under his control and quickly purchased a batch of lathes and various production equipment.

In this way, a training school specializing in training lathe operators opened successfully after intensive preparations!

When Du Weifang learned that He Yuzhu was going to provide free training, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and asked in surprise:

"What did you just say? We're going to provide free training to people?"

Facing Du Weifang's astonishment, He Yuzhu smiled and nodded, and patiently explained:

"Yes, we do provide free training services to trainees. But at the same time, we also have to sign a contract with them. The contract stipulates that after the training is completed, if these trainees are willing to join our own factory to work, then all their previous training fees will be waived. Of course, they need to work in the factory for at least one year in a row."

Hearing this, Du Weifang still felt a little bit unbelievable and asked:

"Does that mean that as long as they can work in the factory for a year, we won't charge them a cent for training?"

He Yuzhu nodded affirmatively again and replied:

"That's right! In this way, we can not only recruit a sufficient number of students for free, but also continuously train a large number of qualified professional and technical workers!"

"If you do this, the initial investment required will be quite a lot!" Du Weifang said worriedly.

Another person responded:

"The key problem is that there are too few professional workers today."

It should be remembered that it was only 61 at that time, and only a little over ten years had passed since Hong Kong was liberated.

In today's society, the proportion of illiterate people is very high, and it is almost impossible to find a group of industrial workers who meet the standards.

In particular, the kind of lathe workers that He Yuzhu hopes to be able to operate lathes skillfully are almost rare in the entire society.

As we all know, Hong Kong's economic boom began in the 70s and reached its peak in the s and s.

However, He Yuzhu's timing of coming this time seemed a little too early. According to his original plan, he should have waited until around 70 years ago before taking action.

Because by then, both Hong Kong's social security situation and business environment will be more ideal.

However, things are unpredictable, and he never expected that he would be sent here for this trip in 60.

Now that he is here, he might as well make the best of it. He Yuzhu does not intend to miss this opportunity. He has already made plans in his mind to purchase several industrial buildings and open a large-scale machinery factory.

In this way, Daniel can take on the role of person in charge and lay a solid foundation for the long-term development in Hong Kong in the future.

He was born in 1935. If he had to wait until 1984 to start a company, he would have been fifty years old by then! He Yuzhu was unwilling to wait any longer.

"So, in your opinion, how big a staff size is needed?" the other party asked.

"The first batch of training will have about 50 to 60 people. We will select a group of outstanding people to serve as masters, and then they will serve as training teachers."

He Yuzhu talked freely.

In fact, he already had his own printing factory and had printed a large amount of training materials. Now, he had more than enough training materials, but the only thing he lacked was training teachers.

But now that they have just started, he has to take on the role of training teacher himself for the time being.

Therefore, he planned to lead a training class first, and then select several trusted people from it.

After all, there is not enough manpower on hand, and many things have to be done personally.

"Okay, I'll take care of it right away."

Only sixty vacancies are available for this recruitment. The best candidates should have a junior high school education or above. Not only will free training be provided, but food and accommodation will also be covered.

The entire training cycle takes approximately one to two months. After completion, the trainees will enter the factory and become lathe workers.

As long as you can work diligently in this position for a full year, the training expenses incurred previously will be directly waived.

For the next full year, a portion of the employees' wages will be deducted every month as training fees.

But don’t worry, as long as one year has passed, all the fees previously deducted will be returned in full.

Not long after, the carefully crafted leaflet was handed to dozens of gangsters.

They had different reactions after seeing the flyer. Some people signed up on the spot without saying a word; while some who had little education quickly contacted their relatives and friends to sign up.

You have to know that at that time in Hong Kong, the monthly salary of an ordinary worker was only more than 200 Hong Kong dollars.

But He Yuzhu solemnly promised that in the future the minimum wage for lathe workers here will start at 300 yuan!

Moreover, the specific salary amount will fluctuate according to different positions and personal skills. Such salary is definitely considered high salary in the local area.

As expected, in just one day, the number of people who came to sign up reached as many as two to three hundred.

Faced with such a large number of applicants, He Yuzhu immediately organized an interview and carefully selected 60 people.

As for the others who were not selected, he patiently explained:

"Don't worry, we will start the second training course in a month, and you are all welcome to join us then."

Just like that, everyone was finally calmed down.

However, He Yuzhu, who has some free time, is still very busy.

Since he is the only teacher at present, both the basic operation of lathe and the complex parts processing technology have to be taught by him personally.

Although Daniel's leg injury had not yet healed, he still added a single bed to the classroom and lay on it to listen to the course carefully.

The role set by He Yuzhu is not only the principal of this training school, but also the director of the machinery factory to be built in the future.

You know, before this, Daniel was an officer with the rank of colonel!

If there had not been an unexpected situation that caused him to deviate in his political stance and stand on the wrong side, otherwise, according to the normal development trajectory, he would most likely have been promoted to the rank of general.

However, even so, his outstanding talents and rich experience should not be underestimated.

Even being the director of a machinery factory would undoubtedly be a waste of his talents.

On this day, He Yuzhu finished his work and left the company, choosing to walk home.

The distance between his home and the small building where the training class is located is only about 300 meters. On weekdays, he basically walks back and forth and rarely drives.

When he turned a corner and walked forward a few meters, he suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart.

When I looked up, I saw five men walking towards me. They were wearing fancy shirts and had various tattoos on their arms.

These people all had hideous and ferocious faces, which made people afraid. With his keen intuition, He Yuzhu quickly used his powerful mental power to investigate, and found that these guys actually had sharp machetes hidden on their waists.

Not only that, right behind him, there were five or six burly gangsters with fierce looks on their faces.

These people all had fierce looks in their eyes, as if they wanted to eat the people in front of them alive.

At this moment, they all drew out shining long swords from their waists, and the sharp blades flashed a chilling light in the sun.

At the same time, there were more than a dozen equally ferocious thugs in front, holding machetes and blocking the way tightly.

Everyone's face was filled with ferocity and brutality. With the machetes in their hands raised high, they chopped straight towards He Yuzhu with a fierce momentum.

For a moment, the atmosphere was extremely tense with the flashing of swords and the shadows of sabers.
