Zhan Lingfeng waited for a while in the Countryside with He Zhenxiong before he saw a car drive into the courtyard.
Leaders of various ranks greeted the arrival.
However, Zhan Lingfeng did not join them; instead, he watched from behind. He had little interest in these leaders, knowing that He Zhenxiong brought him along merely for inquiries, hoping to promote his project.
As expected, after a brief meeting inside, the village secretary Xiao Cao came over and said that Zhan Lingfeng should return to the construction site, as the leaders would be arriving shortly to inspect it.
Sitting on the back of Xiao Cao's bicycle, they quickly headed toward the construction site. Zhan Lingfeng chuckled and said, "Brother Cao, don’t be in such a hurry; they won’t arrive that quickly."
"How can I not be in a hurry? They are driving while we are riding. By the way, He Zhenxiong mentioned that you should be ready to respond."
Upon reaching the site, Xiao Cao quickly rode off again.
Standing at the construction site, Zhan Lingfeng took a look around and found it quite lively; the Construction Team was working diligently.
Seeing Zhan Lingfeng arrive, the team leader Chen Qingqiang quickly approached and said, "Brother Zhan, come take a look?"
"He Township Head didn’t tell you? The leaders are coming to inspect."
"He did mention it. Don’t worry; we are working fast and will have everything ready in a month."
Zhan Lingfeng began to observe seriously. His Restaurant was not just an ordinary establishment; it was actually a large entertainment dining complex that would feature flowing water and performances. His biggest headache at the moment was hiring staff.
"Brother Chen is from the Countryside, right?"
"Yes, I am indeed from this Countryside."
"Is business good?"
The two of them squatted down and started chatting.
"Little Da Brother is doing well."
"Have you always been in this line of work?"
"How could that be? Isn't everyone talking about going into business now? I used to be an actor in the County Song and Dance Troupe. The troupe is no longer viable, so I took the plunge and contracted some small projects."
"You were in the song and dance troupe!"
Zhan Lingfeng was genuinely surprised, not having seen it coming.
Laughing, Chen Qingqiang said, "You didn't see it, did you? I really was in the County Song and Dance Troupe. Our unit is truly struggling now; everyone is idle. You see over there, there are two brothers who are also from the County Song and Dance Troupe."
Zhan Lingfeng's heart stirred as he said, "Captain Chen, can I ask you something? You’ve seen my situation here. I'm planning to hire someone for singing and dancing next. If I wanted to collaborate with the County Song and Dance Troupe, would that be possible?"
"You want to do a performance here?" Chen Qingqiang was also a bit surprised. He only knew that this was a large restaurant; he didn't expect they would be doing this kind of thing.
"Yes, the next step is definitely to incorporate singing and dancing. Not only that, but as you can see, there are also some areas for relaxation after dining."
"You want to provide a full-service experience?"
"Yes, but no adult entertainment!"
Chen Qingqiang laughed and said, "That's impressive! I didn't expect you at your age to manage such a big operation. If you can really pull it off, that would be incredible."
"Right now, I'm really worried about the singing and dancing aspect. It would be great if we could collaborate with Inside the County."
"Brother, how do you calculate your costs?" Chen Qingqiang asked, his interest piqued.
"I really don't know about this. I have no idea how they charge, but I will definitely double their fees."
"The actors in Inside the County all have salaries. If it's a formal arrangement, it can be quite challenging. However, if you invite them when they are not busy with performances, the price is actually not high, Brother. If you cover their meals and accommodation, you can just give them a few hundred yuan after the performance. The cost of living isn't that high right now. But I suggest you could form your own dance troupe and invite people from the County Song and Dance Troupe to help teach."
"Brother Chen, if you have any acquaintances, please introduce someone. I can offer a salary of 100,000 a year."
"What did you say?"
Chen Qingqiang widened his eyes and looked at Zhan Lingfeng. At this time, having ten thousand yuan was already impressive, and suddenly mentioning a salary of 100,000 was quite extraordinary.
"Well, the person in charge will earn 50,000 a year, and those actors will get 2,000 a month. If it's someone from the county's dance troupe working part-time, then they will be paid per performance."
Chen Qingqiang glanced at the construction site again and said, "To be honest, your offer is tempting even for me. If I didn't have so much on my plate, I would consider doing it myself."
"Brother Chen, as long as capable people come in, we can sign a contract and everything will proceed according to that contract."
"Well, I actually have someone in mind. There’s a person in Inside the County who has been suppressed and is currently free. However, her abilities are truly impressive. If she is willing to join us, she can definitely help you out."
"Alright then, I'll trouble you with this matter, Brother Chen."
As they chatted, both seemed much friendlier.
"Brother, your investment in this project seems quite substantial. If it doesn't work out, it could be a loss."
"I naturally have my methods for this project; I'm confident it will succeed. We will also focus on recruiting and training talent."
"What kind of people do you need? I actually have some friends who are interested."
"I'm also planning to recruit in the county town; I'm just worried that no one will want to come here to work."
"As long as you can afford it, what kind of person can't you find?"
Zhan Lingfeng smiled; this statement was indeed reasonable.
While the two were talking, a convoy approached.
"Zhan Lingfeng, this is Secretary Zhou from Inside the County," He Zhenxiong introduced.
Clearly already aware of some of Zhan Lingfeng's situation, Secretary Zhou came over with a smile and shook hands with Zhan Lingfeng, saying, "Impressive! I've heard some things about you. Starting from scratch, being able to see markets that others haven't noticed, and beginning with small Soft-shelled Turtles before creating such a large scale operation."
"Everything is just beginning; we still need the support of Inside the County."
"Tell me what you plan to do. What kind of vision do you have?"
The leaders were all watching.
Zhan Lingfeng began to share his ideas. Besides dining, there would also be performances; he wanted to bring in some ethnic songs and dances.
Upon hearing this, Secretary Zhou happily responded, "That's great! It can also promote the prosperity and development of culture and arts. I see it as a positive direction."
In truth, Zhan Lingfeng understood that these were just formalities; if he couldn't get things off the ground here, no amount of talk would matter.
