Chapter 31: All Those Reporters Have Arrived
For Zhou Wenhua, he now had only one goal, which was to have the ability to protect himself and survive in the years of raging warfare to come, and to pass down all the scientific and technological knowledge he knew,
At the very least, to lay down a foundational scientific and technological inheritance system for the homeland.
So after inspecting the Dumpling New Factory, the Sauce New Factory, and the Toy New Factory, he also hurried to build up his Security Team and conduct military training,
Although he had handed over the basic military training of this Security Team entirely to two elite Naval Officers dispatched by the Navy Department for shooting training and other military training projects, he still went to the training ground every day to bond with these Security Team members and inspect their military training results,
He even personally spot-checked and assessed the Security Team’s military training performance, including shooting and fighting scores.
So whether it was those two Naval Officers or all the Security Team members, no one dared to slack off or fail to earnestly complete the military training projects, because the treatment Zhou Wenhua gave them completely outclassed the military pay of all the troops nationwide,
And they had meat to eat every day, white rice to eat, and accommodation provided,
So for such excellent welfare treatment, no Security Team member wanted to lose it.
Even the Naval Officers Ren Lianjie and Wu Baoshan wanted to follow Zhou Wenhua, this wealthy rice boss, forever, as even their Navy Department’s welfare treatment was not as good as what Zhou Wenhua provided.
So the two of them also desperately and strictly carried out Zhou Wenhua’s military training requirements, training these Security Team new recruits properly,
Especially in the military training of shooting techniques, which was even more of a focus.
Including the Browning pistol, the German Mauser 1924 standard short rifle, the British Lee-Enfield rifle, the Soviet Mosin-Nagant rifle, the Czech Vz.24 short rifle, the U.S. M1903 Springfield rifle, the Austrian Mannlicher 1895 carbine, the French Lebel 1886 rifle, and the Austrian Mannlicher 1895 carbine—these imported rifles’ shooting use.
Even including the prototype of the Japanese Type 38 Rifle, the Thirty Year Style rifle, the Type 35 Navy rifle, and the Type 38 Rifle, all had learning on how to shoot them.
As well as the Type 24 rifle（ Zhongzheng Rifle Cavalry Carbine）, and the Hanyang Arsenal Type 88 rifle—these old-style rifles all needed to be learned for use, so Zhou Wenhua was extremely strict with the Security Team he had formed regarding firearms shooting; he had to make everyone learn the structure and shooting techniques of firearms from various countries.
As for purchasing firearms from abroad and domestically, it was entirely left to Butler Liu Xing to haggle with various foreign arms dealers and homeland arms dealers, secretly buying them back privately.
After hurrying to supervise his Security Team’s military training,
Zhou Wenhua was also preparing to personally go supervise the recruitment for the three new factories he had just established, and the training of employees’ production and manufacturing skills, and management standards.
The Dumpling New Factory was to bring the famous “Wan Chai Pier” dumplings to market ahead of time.
Whether on Hong Kong Island or the mainland, almost everyone knows “Wan Chai Pier” dumplings, and because people in the homeland all like to eat dumplings, dumplings became a major industry.
From street vendors to establishing small factories, then to occupying more than half of the supermarket freezer frozen dumplings market, and becoming a household brand in the homeland.
All of this started when Japan’s largest department store, Daimaru Department Store, took a liking to Miss Zang’s dumpling brand, and after several rounds of negotiations, Wan Chai Pier dumplings appeared in the Hong Kong Island branch of Daimaru Department Store.
With channels like Hong Kong Island’s ParknShop, China Resources, and JUSCO opening up, Wan Chai Pier quickly captured 30% market share of fresh and frozen dumplings on Hong Kong Island.
Then in 1997, “Wan Chai Pier” cooperated with the U.S. General Mills company and began entering the homeland market, thus turning the homeland market into a major industry with annual sales exceeding 100 billion, and it also had 15 production bases,
However, Zhou Wenhua’s requirements for dumpling quality and meat filling were even more and better than the original version.
Actually, in later generations, there were plenty of delicious dumplings, especially those with ample filling and meat, but these brands did not have the advertising penetration of Wan Chai dumplings or the good marketing.
And they had positioned and done advertising ahead of time,
So they were not as famous or successful as Wan Chai dumplings.
Zhou Wenhua was still very optimistic about the dumpling market,
As for the Sauce New Factory, it followed the old Lao Gan Ma style oil chili and Lee Kum Kee soy sauce route to produce these condiments that people needed.
And after new products were developed, he would also use free chili sauce giveaways to attract business.
And carry out overwhelming advertising promotion and marketing to position it deeply in people’s hearts.
But just yesterday he had instructed Butler Liu Xing to speed up recruiting personnel to go to the new factories,
So now only one day had passed, and the workers at the new factories probably had not fully arrived yet,
So after urging on his Security Team’s military training,
He also hurriedly took a car and headed first to the Dumpling New Factory,
To see how many new employees had come to the factory to work today,
He needed to assign work and train on how to wrap dumplings.
On the way as Zhou Wenhua hurried to the Dumpling New Factory,
The domestic car promotion and marketing he had done had already caused a sensation across the entire homeland, drawing attention from many people.
And today, the new Store Manager Chen Ziwen whom he had hired was, accompanied by Butler Liu Xing, preparing to hold a press conference and start the first day of the new model car exhibition and sales event.
For this matter, Zhou Wenhua had no pressure at all and did not pay much special attention.
Anyway, he had completely handed it over to Butler Liu Xing and new Store Manager Chen Ziwen to handle the reporters’ interviews and the sales work of the new model car exhibition and sales event.
But for Butler Liu Xing and new Store Manager Chen Ziwen, who had never experienced being interviewed by a large group of reporters, the two of them still felt considerable psychological pressure.
Even the new Store Manager Chen Ziwen, who had been completely conquered by the new model car made by Zhou Wenhua, was waiting with anxiety and tension for the press conference release, the reporters’ various questions, interviews, and photo shoots,
And the sales situation of the car exhibition and sales event was also a major point of tension for him.
“Store Manager! Those reporters are all here!”
“They are at the exhibition and sales event, photographing our new model car and waiting for you to appear for the interview!”
As new Store Manager Chen Ziwen was arranging his attire and appearance,
The new salesman Zhao Jiawei from the Automotive Specialty Store, just like him, also hurriedly ran to Chen Ziwen’s side to report.
“What! They came so soon?”
“Didn’t they say they would come in another hour?”
“Where is Butler Liu?”
“Is he receiving these reporters?”
Hearing this, Chen Ziwen, who had just finished arranging his attire and appearance, was immediately shocked and said.
“He seems to have gone out for something!”
New salesman Zhao Jiawei answered honestly.
“What? He went out?”
“Then what do I do? This is my first time facing so many reporters for an interview?”
Upon hearing that Butler Liu Xing had gone out, Chen Ziwen’s expression changed dramatically, and he said panickedly.
But new salesman Zhao Jiawei had no way to respond to him about what to do next.
