33 Child Labour (1/2)

Following according to the route provided by Zhou Yi, they went straight to the Sparrow company.

Although they had a partners.h.i.+p, this was Zhang Xiaohua's first visit to Sparrow.

There was a contract in place, so Zhang Xiaohua didn't fear that Sparrow would cut corners, and therefore did not go to check up on them till now.

One hour later, the car had completely driven out of the city and into a remote small village. Afterwards, under the guidance of several villagers, Zhang Xiaohua and his party saw the company's location.

Soon afterwards, Zhang Xiaohua parked the car in front of Sparrow's gate. At this time, the surrounding area was filled with people. It seemed that they were all employees of the Sparrow Company and they behaved like the villagers here. Everyone's face was filled with a happy smile, they actually came to welcome the arrival of Zhang Xiaohua and others.

Not waiting for Zhang Xiaohua to unfasten his seat belt, Zhou Yi helped to open the door, which touched Zhang Xiaohua he felt a bit flattered, this feeling of being a leader was seriously addicting.

The company building was surrounded by chickens and pig farms, the smell coming from there actually made Zhang Xiaohua feel queasy.

”Welcome Brother Zhang, you finally came to visit!” Zhou Yi always smiled and took the initiative to extend his hand and expressed his welcome to Zhang Xiaohua.

Zhang Xiaohua shook hands symbolically with Zhou Yi, and suddenly people around them applauded making him feel even warmer. It was like a firecracker banging and almost resounded throughout the entire village.

Zhang Xiaohua made a cursory calculation. There were around one thousand people here, more or less. Both men and women, both young and old, judging by their clothes, their didn't seem to be rich, but everyone's face was full of simple and honest smiles, making people feel comfortable and at home.

Zhang Xiaohua was a first time guest, so he immediately approached Zhou Yi's ear and whispered: ”These people around, are they all employees of your company?”

”Boss Zhang is really perceptive, yes, these people are almost all employees of our company.”

After Zhou Yi said this, Zhang Xiaohua was a little surprised.

Zhang Xiaohua did not think that the scale of the company was even larger than he had imagined. It was no wonder that Zhou Yi was confident that he could produce 300,000 records in half a month. It was because he had so many people working for him. What!

”Boss, please, let's go to the warehouse for inspection.” Zhou Yi said

Zhang Xiaohua nodded his head, and entered the Sparrow company with Yuan Datong and co. As Zhou Yi lead the way ahead, a large number of employees followed. The number of people was so large that if they did not know it, they would really think it was an inspection by the city leaders.

In this atmosphere, Yuan Datong and Emma felt more confident. After all, it was the first time in their lives that they got this kind of high-level treatment.

After Zhou Yi's explanation on the road, Zhang Xiaohua also had a general understanding of the company.

The original name of the village was Sparrow Village, which was Zhou Yi's hometown and had more than 500 households. Because of its remote location and small size, it had never received the government's attention and development. The villagers' lives were not easy.

After Zhou Yi graduated from University, he still couldn't find a job. Then he and several cla.s.smates pooled together their cash to set up the Sparrow Company. To save money, Zhou Yi set up the company in the village of Sparrow. All the office places were provided by the villagers free of charge. It could be said that this was not only the headquarters of Sparrow Company, but also their workshop and warehouse. There was no need to pay rent, which also saved a lot of money for Zhou Yi and allowed him to employ more technical personnel.

Zhang Xiaohua also learned that Zhou Yi was an orphan since he was a child. He was brought up by the villagers and was able to pay for university due to the villagers sponsoring him. So in order to repay the kindness of the villagers, Zhou Yi gave the villagers jobs. And this company was where the villagers worked, in fact, almost everyone in the village worked here!

In order to ensure that the villagers had food and drink, Zhou Yi did not hesitate to visit the city every day, but unfortunately, the current recording industry was almost monopolised by those big companies.

Fortunately, Zhou Yi was lucky enough to meet Zhang Xiaohua. If nothing unexpected happened, the business would provide them with a stable income, but what was most worthy of satisfaction was that he could guarantee that the villagers would have an enjoyable meal for a while after struggling to make ends meet lately.

After learning about these things, Zhang Xiaohua stopped and looked at Zhou Yi. Once again, those plain-hearted villagers were behind. Zhang Xiaohua faintly felt that his nose was sour, his eyes were still hot, and he wanted to say something.

At this time, Emma had already broken into tears. This kind of person-to-person relations.h.i.+p was the most simple and affectionate.

In this gorgeous world, perhaps only in this country side could you fully feel the genuine emotions between people?
