Foreign company acquisitions, listings, and rising prices are no longer important to Chen Lidong.

The family is preparing for a war, a fight against natural disasters.

Chen Lidong and his wife returned to Nanchen Village from Pease after several transfers. They met Luo Hao and explained some things.

Then we went to a straw weaving factory.

The straw weaving factory will start work after spring and has been in production for several months.

Except for a few electricians and repairmen, the employees here are all women, in their teens and decades.

This period of time is very tiring for everyone, but very fulfilling.

After the work started, everyone thought it was to produce straw ropes, but it was not until they started working that they learned that they would be processing straw bags.

Weaving straw bags is not complicated. The main process is: first use a straw rope machine to weave a thin straw rope with a diameter of 5 mm, and then hang it on a straw blade machine to make the warp; use the prepared rice straw as the weft, and weave it into straw under the driving of the shuttle.

Finally, the straw pieces on both sides are manually folded in half, and then the straw exposed at both ends is woven into a straw bag.

The straw weaving factory implements piece-rate wages. A craftsman can weave 30 to 50 straw bags a day for 5 cents each. He can earn 15 to 25 yuan a day, which was considered a high income in rural areas in 1998.

Straw bags are mainly used in the construction industry for commercial concrete maintenance, ceramic product packaging, floor tile packaging, greenhouse insulation, railway car pad protection, and flood prevention and rescue.

During this time, all the products of the straw weaving factory were shipped to the south.

After leaving the straw products factory, I went to the clothing factory.

The garment factory is run by my cousin Chen Lihong. It mainly processes work clothes and labor protection supplies. Since the beginning of spring, its main task has been to produce life jackets.

Chen Lidong did not go to the workshop, but just chatted with his cousin: "How many pieces have been made?"

"There are more than 20,000 in the library. We have made 100,000 pieces, right? Isn't that enough?"

"To be prepared, you contact your brother personally. He has already gone to the south. This time we will transport another batch of mineral water and instant noodles, as well as life jackets. You can go and settle the accounts with the company's finance later."

"Just put it in the account and count it as my donation. Just keep it in your mind."

"Okay, you little rich woman. Hey, has your sister-in-law introduced you to someone?"

"You can ask my sister-in-law."

"Okay...the life jackets will be produced until the end of the month, and we will ship them as many as we can."

"Is my brother okay in the south? He only knows how to paddle dogs. Don't be washed away by the water."

"You call him and tell him that I will go to the south in a few days to help you take care of him."

The next day Chen Lidong arrived at Donghua Vocational High School.

Two classes at Donghua Vocational High School are not on summer vacation and are undergoing military training.

One is the excavator class and the other is the civil engineering class.

The trainees participating in the military training are all volunteers preparing to go to the south. They have already told their families that they will go to the south in a few days to participate in the war, flood prevention and rescue, and flood relief.

There are nearly two hundred young men in these two teams. Some have studied in vocational high schools for two years, some are about to graduate, and they all have certain technical standards.

The content of the training these days is to use machinery to strengthen the river dam, and also conducted drills to break the embankment and block the opening.

In addition to free food and drinks, trainees who participate in the training can also receive a 50 yuan subsidy.

Chen Lidong met Zhang Hongzhen and learned about the situation of these students.

"The children were very enthusiastic and were ready to go to the front line. However, more than 60 people in front of them backed out for various reasons." Zhang Hongzhen retreated without giving up, and his work energy was comparable to that of a young man. Under his leadership,

The school's development momentum is very good. The enrollment threshold has been exceeded, and a new campus has to be built. It will be put into use when the school starts in early September.

By then, the number of enrolled students in Donghua Vocational High School will reach 3,000. From then on, Donghua Vocational High School no longer needs blood transfusions from the group, and tuition, miscellaneous fees, room and board expenses are enough to maintain the operation of the school.

"I'll meet the kids."

"Well, they are all on the playground, and there are a few teachers. They want to lead the team to follow. Squad Leader Zhang, who is in charge of military training, also reported to the troops and went to take care of the students."

"Well, let's gather everyone together."

On the playground, Chen Lidong stood on the podium, with several columns of students below him.

The instructor and several teachers at the school stood on one side.

Chen Lidong brewed his emotions and said: "Students, as well as instructors and teachers. China is a vast country with rich resources, but it is also prone to disasters. I am a person who has experienced major earthquakes. I still have memories of earthquake disasters in my childhood memories.

The rice bowl I used when I was a child was donated from other provinces.

Also, the school under our feet was once the Lanshi Diesel Engine Factory. It also fell into ruins that year. It was hundreds of soldiers who dug through the ruins and rescued Principal Zhang and the workers.

Students, you are the future employees of Donghua, what is the entrepreneurial spirit of Donghua?"

Some of the students below began to shout: "Contribute to the country..."

Chen Lidong said into the microphone: "Come with me, we in Donghua will contribute to the country, repay our hometown, bring blessings to our relatives, and give warmth to our lovers!"

200 students recited the next few sentences loudly.

Chen Lidong continued: "Students, the kindness of a little water is repaid by the spring. Now that the south is flooded and our compatriots are suffering, it is time for us Lanshi people to pay back. We in Donghua have a duty to fight against floods and provide disaster relief."

Donghua's transportation team has passed, and you will be the second batch of volunteers.

Remember, when you get there, you have to use your talents. You are half engineer and half mechanic. You have to use your brains and the knowledge you have learned to solve problems.

In particular, we must protect our bodies, combine work and rest, and come back in one piece, no one is missing.”

After mobilization, these students will set off immediately and take the train to Chaisang.

Chen Lidong kept the teachers and instructors here: "I originally treated you to a good meal, but the disaster is urgent and we cannot afford to slack off. You are the nannies along the way, and you must take good care of these students.

My father has already gone to Chaisang from Jiangcheng. If you need anything, ask him to arrange it. In a few days, I will go there to fight together.

You should take care of your health. A major disaster is accompanied by a major epidemic. You must pay attention to food safety and rest and maintenance.

We must pay special attention to these children, most of them are the only children in the family, and the loss of any one of them will be a disaster for their family, please."

After speaking, Chen Lidong bowed to all the teachers and instructors.

Two days later, Chen Lidong arrived in Lucheng again.

The first stop was to inspect the flood control project of the tailings pond.

After reading it, he frowned and said to Wang Zhiyong: "The situation in Kuba is not ideal. First, recruit local migrant workers to lift earth to build the dam, and then hire a professional team to strengthen the cracks to ensure that nothing goes wrong. Don't follow me to the south.

Now, just stay here, take command, prepare more building materials, drainage and irrigation equipment. Don’t be afraid of spending money, this is our cornucopia, we can’t make any mistakes.”

Next, Chen Lidong met with Chen Limin alone. "How is the team arriving?"

"It's not ideal. Overall, it's less than half." Chen Limin said.

"It's not necessarily a deserter. There are disasters all over the south now, and transportation must be inconvenient. It's normal for some people to arrive late." Chen Lidong comforted the largest contractor in North China.

The registered capital of Donghua Construction has reached 100 million yuan. In addition to those state-owned enterprises, it is also among the top companies in the Chinese construction field.

If we compare the quantity and quality of machinery and equipment, Donghua Construction is probably not inferior to other central enterprises.

The most noteworthy thing is that Donghua Construction has more than 3,000 employees. These more than 3,000 people are regular employees who have signed labor contracts, paid various insurances, and enjoyed fixed wages.

Of course, Donghua Construction also has various branches, and after receiving the project, subcontracting and measurement are also carried out internally. Employees receive performance wages and bonuses based on piecework.

Different from ordinary migrant workers, although most of these employees have come and gone, they have mastered certain professional skills.

Donghua Construction also outsources labor services. For example, when organizing the construction of Donghua Environmental Protection Plant and the tailings pond flood discharge project, it outsourced a large amount of labor services.

Most of the employees of Donghua Construction are here in Lucheng, where they are constructing the anti-seepage of the tailings pond and the sewage treatment plant. The other teams are doing construction in Yanjilan, doing internal projects within the group.

Donghua Construction employees were the main force in this trip to the south to fight floods and provide disaster relief.

However, going to the south for disaster relief is not a forced order, but is voluntary.

Except for some construction sites where people must be kept, the company gives all employees paid leave. The employees go home to rest first, and then take different means of transportation to report to Chaisang.

Chen Limin finally set out because he had to deal with the project here. After listening to Chen Lidong's words, he muttered a few more words: "Actually, it's not surprising that he is timid. I heard that thousands of people died in the south. My phone calls have been all over the place recently.

It has become a hotline, and some captains feel embarrassed, so their family members come forward to ask for leave, and I agree. After all, fire and water have no mercy, and we have a lot of people, so it is normal to be afraid of water."

Only then did Chen Lidong realize that it was the middle-level managers of the construction company who had fallen behind.

"You're right. We are a private company and we can't kidnap our employees with morality. Okay, we're leaving tomorrow. Is there anything else?"

"Can you let me bring some machinery there? Our construction company has no base in the south, no equipment, and the people there can't play a role."

"Hey, last year I arranged for people to acquire two companies in Jiangcheng and Chaisang as bases. Don't worry, go there. You'll get whatever you want when you get there."

After his rebirth, Chen Lidong has always insisted that "everything is done beforehand and will be ruined if not foreseen." If he is the only reborn person in this world, then he is the biggest cheater. Knowing the trend of events is the greatest benefit for reborn people.

In 1998, China was plagued by many disasters, the biggest disaster being floods.

Floods occur at the north and south ends, one is the Yangtze River and the other is the Songhua River.

Flood peaks have appeared in Jiangcheng in the south, and Chen Shujian has already gone over to make arrangements.

Chen Lidong knew from the experience of later generations that the next city in danger would be Chaisang.

As for the north, he has notified Sun Zhenyuan and his cousin-in-law Li Aiguo to help local flood relief efforts.

Donghua Group has issued an internal notice that this flood relief is a reward for the national support for the Blue City earthquake more than 20 years ago, and Donghua will not count financial and material resources.

Both Chen Shujian and Sun Zhenyuan have decision-making power, and equipment, materials, personnel, and money can be raised locally.

Moreover, Chen Lidong has arranged to weave grass pieces and process life jackets and other emergency supplies since the beginning of spring, so as to prepare for the disaster relief battle in advance.

In Jiangcheng and Chaisang, Chen Lidong specially arranged two groups of mechanical servants, led by Chen Tianyi and Chen Tianchang. Both of them have the authority to use the system platform to exchange equipment. As long as they operate properly, they can do what Chen Lidong said.

What’s the matter?”

As for some people internally saying that senior officials were not doing their jobs properly, Chen Lidong took a small notebook and wrote it down.

As a system host, a son of the earth, it would be childish to be obsessed with making money.

Chen Lidong needs like-minded people, not profit-seekers who fall into the eyes of money.
