During this period, after Jiang Changsheng was defeated, there was no resistance, and various things developed too smoothly, which made Li Xiucheng less aware of crisis.
The medicinal materials factory in Tong County may also have such problems. Li Xiucheng thought that he must go to Tong County to take a look after returning.
"Brother, I will definitely keep an eye on the problem you mentioned and correct it, so that I won't let anyone get into trouble."
Hu Changan said with firm eyes.
"Well, Chang'an, just understand what I mean."
"The main reason is that we are too anxious during this period. In fact, we have said before that we want to reorganize the stone factory, but we are busy with production and dealing with Zhao Zhiyuan's affairs, so we haven't had time yet."
Lu Pingnan explained.
"Just because we are fighting with Zhao Zhiyuan, we cannot let ourselves get caught. Now, if the government sides with Zhao Zhiyuan, it can find reasons to shut us down at any time."
Lu Pingnan nodded. He really didn't expect this. He thought that after signing the contract, the matter was settled.
Now Zhao Zhiyuan is shameless, how could he have thought that there is such truth in this.
The three of them arrived at Zhao Zhiyuan's small workshop.
It's also a tin shed, but it's smaller than theirs, with two large stone cutting machines missing.
Zhao Zhiyuan's people saw that one more person came today and drove a car. They noticed the difference and hurriedly went in to find Zhao Zhiyuan.
Zhao Zhiyuan was still playing cards with the people below. When he heard about it, he threw off his clothes and walked out with a golden sword.
When I walked to the door, I saw Li Xiucheng coming with Hu Changan and Lu Pingnan.
Zhao Zhiyuan waved his hand, and the brothers squatting in the stone factory all stood behind Zhao Zhiyuan with sticks in hand, ready to stand ready.
"Hello, Boss Zhao. I'm Li Xiucheng, the owner of the stone factory over there."
"Why, do you think you can let me move when your boss comes?"
Zhao Zhiyuan did not answer Li Xiucheng, but spoke directly to Hu Changan.
"It is written in black and white in our contract that this area belongs to us to develop, why do you have the shame to hang around here!"
Hu Changan's face swelled, and he started scolding Zhao Zhiyuan.
Li Xiucheng stopped Hu Changan, walked next to Zhao Zhiyuan, and handed out an Ashima, "Boss Zhao, peace is the most important thing in business. If you have any ideas, let's sit down and talk."
"Tonight at Changning Barbeque Shop, let's have a drink and chat."
"My brother is still young, and there are some offenses in his behavior. I will also apologize to you tonight."
Zhao Zhiyuan was a little confused by Li Xiucheng's attitude.
But as the saying goes, if you reach out and don’t hit the smiling person, Zhao Zhiyuan still accepted the cigarette.
"Boss Li, right? OK, I'll give you some face. Let's have a chat over dinner tonight."
After saying that, Zhao Zhiyuan glanced at Hu Changan and the others.
"Then thank you, Boss Zhao, for the compliment. See you in the evening."
Li Xiucheng smiled and left with Hu Changan and Lu Pingnan.
Hu Changan was also very puzzled by Li Xiucheng's attitude, "Brother, we had a good talk with him early in the morning, but we can't talk."
"What did you say that time?"
"I told him to move out. If he doesn't want to be in the stone business anymore, we can pay him a high price to buy all the current equipment. If he still wants to mine stone elsewhere, we will charge him as much as he can produce in the future. How many."
"But even then they refused, so I said I would give them a contract and force them to move out."
Hu Changan feels that his handling of this situation is very good, and it also works well for other small bosses who are unwilling to leave.
Only Zhao Zhiyuan seemed to be deliberately looking for trouble. No matter what conditions were proposed, he would not leave.
"There's something wrong with your idea. According to what you said, Changning's bluestones are easy to sell now. Whether we accept them or not won't have much impact on him."
"Secondly, when we talked about the contract, we just stepped on his sore spot. He originally signed the contract, but now that we have stepped in, he is already unhappy."
"Besides the relationship behind him, he is also sure that the government will not help us."
"So none of the conditions you mentioned pose a danger to him. Why would he agree to you and give up his own interests?"
Li Xiucheng's analysis left Hu Changan speechless. This was indeed the reason, so now he was at his wits' end and couldn't do anything to Zhao Zhiyuan.
"Brother, how are you going to talk to him?"
"Don't worry, let's go to the county. Let's talk to whoever signed the contract with you."
Li Xiucheng must figure out what the current attitude of the government is.
"The person who signed the contract with me is the mayor of Qingshan Town, not from the county."
"The area we contracted belongs to Qingshan Town, so I directly looked for Qingshan Town."
"The mayor was easy to talk to. After two meals and some money, he signed the contract."
Hearing this, Li Xiucheng felt bad in his heart. It is estimated that the mayor will have a hard time in the future.
"That makes no sense. We don't have to go find him."
"Besides opening this stone factory, is Zhao Zhiyuan doing anything else?"
Li Xiucheng asked.
"What he can do is just eat and wait for death every day, take the money his sister sent back to his parents, drink and play cards with his brothers."
Hu Changan hated Zhao Zhiyuan so much that he spoke with disdain whenever he mentioned him.
"Actually, I heard the quarry worker say last time that Zhao Zhiyuan seemed to have done a lot of business before, but all of them were in vain. His sister stopped giving him money and told him to just stop doing anything and just stay alone. That’s it.”
Lu Pingnan said.
"Then why did this stone factory agree to his business again?"
"It's probably because our billiards business is so popular that the name of the billiards center has become public and it has become a sign of Xingrong."
"For their government, it is definitely a bright spot. It is not impossible for other cities to learn from it. What if Wuhu also wants to build a billiards center?"
If this is the case, Li Xiucheng has an idea.
The billiards center is not a patent. Others can open it if they want.
In the next few years, billiards would have become a popular entertainment activity in the country and would be everywhere.
Although he has taken the first step now, it will only take a year or two for those behind him to catch up.
If you want to remain at the top of the industry, it is absolutely not enough to only occupy the market in one place.
Li Xiucheng has long had the idea of expanding outwards, but he has never found a suitable opportunity.
If Wuhu really thinks this way, then he can directly let Zhao Zhiyuan join for free, brand it as Jinxiu, and help him build a billiards center in Wuhu like Xingrong.
This thing is to kill two birds with one stone. It can not only win over Zhao Zhiyuan and solve the current problem, but also further improve their official status of Jinxiu Billiards and open up the Wuhu market.
