Chapter 475: Chapter 475: I am the landlord_1

While Wang Ye has been super busy at his end, in his hometown, his father has recently started to get busy as well.

After Wang Ye left after the New Year, on the ninth day, Liu Mei and a few others came to Wang Ye’s small county town.

Naturally, she came at Wang Ye’s behest, coming to purchase the Flour Improver Factory in the county.

As per Wang Ye’s instructions, Liu Mei contacted Director Li directly and under his guidance had a cordial discussion with the county leaders.

The discussion went very smoothly, with the county agreeing to essentially all the conditions suggested by Liu Mei.

From reassigning employees to tax concessions and free land allocation for future expansion, all kinds of favorable policies were promised!

The only requirement made by the county was to operate the Flour Improver Factory under the name of a wholly foreign-owned enterprise and the purchase funds must be in US dollars...

Of course, this was no problem. Liu Mei promptly agreed to it.

After taking care of the procedure, Liu Mei contacted Wang Ye’s father and hired him as the general manager fully in charge of the Flour Improver Factory, all in the company’s name.

After sorting all this out, Liu Mei returned to the capital.

......

Wang Ye’s father, too, had been bustling from February until now. As a newly appointed official, he was so busy with work that he didn’t even have time to call Wang Ye.

Everyone in the county now addressed him as Manager Wang.

Only after sorting things out at the factory did he remember to discuss things with Wang Ye.

Another issue was the recent rumor circulating in the county that Wang Ye donated one million US dollars to the school to build a gymnasium!

Although Wang Ye had clearly indicated that he didn’t want to publicize his donation at the time, asking the school to keep it confidential as much as possible...

Despite the school administration’s best efforts, the county was too small and everyone knew each other. So, keeping it a secret was simply impossible...

When he first heard the news, Wang Ye’s father didn’t believe it because the lad just gifted a million dollars to the family and bought the Flour Improver Factory with several hundred thousand dollars. How could he possibly have another million dollars to donate to the school!

However, after making inquiries with his acquaintances, he was dismayed to find out that the donation was probably true!

Since the work at the factory was done, he decided to call Wang Ye to discuss the factory’s affairs and to verify if Wang Ye had indeed donated the money.

......

"Did you donate a million dollars to the school?"

As soon as the call connected, his father bluntly asked.

Wang Ye was taken aback before he responded adamantly: "Um, I had an old classmate deliver it before I left, and I asked the school not to publicize it. How did you find out about it, Dad?"

"You... where did you get all that money from! Don’t tell me you spent all your earnings on this home visit! Oh, what am I going to do with you..."

If Wang Ye were present, his father would probably be yanking his ear right now.

Because based on Wang Ye’s "account" to his parents, his current net worth probably amounts to three to four million dollars.

But having splurged it all on a home visit for the New Year...

With a chuckle, Wang Ye reassured his father: "It’s fine. I still have all those shops generating income. The market has been booming lately! Just the rent brings in several hundred thousand dollars a month. I can live comfortably even if those two companies I own don’t make a cent. I am a professional property renter now!"

This caused his father to burst out laughing and feel at ease.

Nevertheless, he warned, "You donated too much to the school! If you had discussed it with me earlier... Eh, never mind. You already donated, and it is a good deed after all. Our county is too poor. Otherwise, our high school would definitely be better off."

In Wang Ye’s previous life’s memories, no one ever donated a million dollars to his high school!

Due to certain "undescribable" factors, the high sponsorship fees received by the school each year weren’t entirely spent on its development. As a result, the key high school in the province, which once blazed in glory, gradually declined...

The school was the only path to a different life for the children of the county, but that gate has been slowly closing on them. Honestly, it’s quite a pity.

Wang Ye made this donation to prevent history from repeating itself.

Zhongyuan Province is poor to begin with, and his hometown is the poorest county in the poorest region of the province...

With a large population, there could have been quite a few college students every year because of having a good high school in the district, and many lives would have been changed as a result.

Now that he has the capability, Wang Ye wanted to do something for his fellow villagers

It’s a one-time donation, but Wang Ye will continue donating as long as the school administration uses this money for tangible progress.

Until the Alma Mater is made into a top school in the province, if not the best!

And the money needed to achieve that isn’t much in comparison to Wang Ye’s current financial situation. A small portion of his income will cover it.

......

After discussing the donation, his father started talking about the Flour Improver Factory.

This is his area of expertise!

His father had too much free time over the past few years, so much so that he was falling sick from idleness. Now, he finally has the chance to spread his wings.

With an entire factory under his command, not needing to look up to anyone, how could he not feel thrilled?

It must be said that Wang Ye knows his father too well!

Merely giving him a lot of money doesn’t have as much meaning as giving him a task to immerse himself in. The latter makes his father even happier.

As his father incessantly talked about his strategies for managing the factory, Wang Ye simply sat and listened with a smile.

He didn’t voice any opinions because, honestly, if it was him managing a factory, he wouldn’t do it as well as his father...

In the end with a sense of lingering regret, his father said, "Such a pity. The factory wasted two years. There are now similar factories in the market. If we had taken over two years back, this factory could have grown a lot."

"So, how big can it get now?" Wang Ye, with a laugh, asked.

"Well, it can generate tens of millions in annual revenue, even potentially surpassing a hundred million! In such a case, the Flour Improver Factory will be the biggest company in the county." His father pondered for a moment before responding.

His father wasn’t exaggerating. The biggest company in the county, in terms of revenue, probably hasn’t crossed the ten million dollar mark yet!

Previously, the Hemp Spinning Factory, Fertilizer Factory, Leather Factory and winery enjoyed a brief period of prosperity, especially the Fertilizer Factory, which was a major industry!

However, since the nineties, these factories haven’t been doing well.

The craziest thing is, the wealthiest institution in the entire county turned out to be the high school...

"Well, that’s not too shabby. You will become the richest man in the county, Dad, a status that not even a deputy director could match." Wang Ye replied with a teasing smile.

At this, his father even laughed, "The richest man in the county?"

The title sounds quite impressive. Maybe he really has a shot at it!
