Why contact Li Xianrong?
As the director of the slag discharging workshop, Cao Debao is very aware of the current operating conditions of the Songhuajiang Soy Sauce Factory. Since the Hongxing Timber Factory was contracted to Li Xianrong and changed its original model to the production of composite panels, it has actually come back to life and begun to make profits. And I heard that recently and Some large paper mills and wood pulp mills have signed cooperation agreements to provide them with long-term supplies. This not only expands sales channels and improves profit points, but also integrates into the supply chain, allowing them to sense market changes to the maximum extent and adjust products. strategies to produce products that meet market demand.
Of course, this was not what he said. He who had not studied in junior high school for two years could not have such a level. It was Sun Qunchao who told him, and he did not know what the managers sent by Li Xianrong to the Red Star Wood Processing Factory thought. Yes, Sun Qianchao was made the director of the blanking workshop, and Xiao Guoqing was made the head of the security department. The two of them had been ordinary workers for almost twenty years, and the lowest among the six gentlemen was actually promoted.
Although the scale of Hongxing Timber Factory is smaller than that of Songhuajiang Soy Sauce Factory, one has three to four hundred people, and the other has four to five hundred people, but the current situation is that the wood processing factory is booming, and orders are coming from all over the country like snow flakes, while Songhuajiang Soy Sauce Factory As for the factory, due to the lack of production vitality and the inability to develop products with market competitiveness, it was really worse every year. It seemed that wages could no longer be paid. The factory director was so worried that he couldn't sleep at night and went to the city every day. Run away and beg grandpa to sue grandma for subsidies. However, there are many companies in the same situation as Songhuajiang Soy Sauce Factory, and the city cannot save them even if they want to.
So he, who used to have a sense of superiority in front of Sun Qianchao and Xiao Guoqing, became the object of ridicule by those two people. The first docile passage was when Director Yan, who was sent by Li Xianrong to manage the operating affairs of the Hongxing Timber Factory, held a staff meeting. Sun Qianchao thought it was good, so he wrote it down in his notebook. He also spent some time memorizing it by heart, so that he could serve the cup in front of the newly recruited workers.
Returning to the task assigned to him by the director of the soy sauce factory, it was obvious that the director knew from some source that Zhou Bingkun wanted to bring Li Xianrong to the soy sauce factory. If Yang Kai hadn't sacrificed his asshole for his own future, In order to please Zhou Bingkun, the Red Star Timber Processing Factory is now 80% closed down. Now the soy sauce factory will soon be unable to survive. The director cannot sit still and wants to take the initiative to talk to Li Xianrong about contracting. Judging from what happened at the Red Star Timber Factory, Zhou Bingkun is losing face with Li Xianrong. It was very big, and it was more reliable to go to Zhou Bingkun than to go to Factory Director Yan. However, the two of them were very unhappy in 1981, and they were too embarrassed to go find it in person, so they put the idea on his head.
But the crux of the matter is that not only is the factory director and Zhou Bingkun very unhappy, but wouldn't it be even more embarrassing if he, a man who had been beaten, came forward?
So Cao Debao promised to find an opportunity to talk about it, but actually did nothing.
Looking for an opportunity, he has to find an opportunity. What can he do if he can't find an opportunity? right?
…
The time came to mid-December 1990.
Jichun Railway Station.
Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei stood at the exit and looked inside.
"Why isn't it here yet? It's already half past 11."
"The train is delayed." As soon as Zhou Bingyi finished saying this, Hao Dongmei's eyes lit up: "Hey, here we come."
After speaking, he waved his hand towards the inside: "Wei Hong, Wei Hong..."
Yao Lisong and Dong Weihong followed the flow of people out of the station and came to their side.
The two women over there hugged each other, and Yao Lisong patted Zhou Bingyi's arm: "I heard that you are now the deputy mayor of Hayang City? You are climbing fast enough."
"I can't compare to you." Zhou Bingyi also patted Yao Lisong's arm: "Chairman of Shenzhen Shanneng Group."
"I heard Hao Dongmei say on the phone that you knew I was coming and asked for a day off. Even her wife did not receive such treatment. Oh my, as a comrade in arms, I am very happy..."
"Look at what you said. You have come all the way to Northeast China, how can I not welcome you?"
"Too."
The two of them walked out of the station while talking: "The last time I came to Jichun was in 1981. I didn't expect that it would be 10 years ago. Look at the buildings on both sides of the road. Many of them are newly built."
Zhou Bingyi waved his hand: "It can't be compared with you guys in Shenzhen."
"What are you two talking about behind the scenes? Get in the car quickly." Hao Dongmei interrupted the conversation between the two people and urged them to get in the car quickly.
"Hey, you see she's still in a hurry. Let's go quickly."
Yao Lisong and Zhou Bingyi hurried a few steps, one got into the passenger seat, and the other went to the back seat to sit with the two women.
Fifteen minutes later.
The car stopped on Chunhui Road.
The four of them got out of the car one after another. Dong Weihong looked around and looked at a shop across the road.
"Lu Ning's labor protection supplies store?"
Yao Lisong's eyes were also attracted, and he pointed to the opposite side and said, "I remember it should be Jishantang over there, right? That's where we ate ten years ago. What? It's closed down?"
Zhou Bingyi shook his head: "This matter is a long story, so I might as well not talk about it."
"Okay, then I won't talk about it."
Yao Lisong didn't force it, and they turned around and entered the Longyue Hotel in front.
With the sweet "Welcome" from the receptionist, Dong Weihong reported her name to the lobby manager who came forward to receive them, and the man led them inside.
Zhou Bingyi said: "I remember the last time you came to Jichun, Wei Hong also picked the place to eat. She knows Jichun very well, and she will choose high-end places."
"Hey, I'm busy with work. Among the old comrades in our Corps, I only have a lot of contact with you. Wei Hong is different. Whenever she has free time, she calls her friends who joined the team together and chats all over the place. Oh, she also I have a pen pal who lives in Jichun City, so he knows more about the situation here than me."
"Wei Hong still has a pen pal in Jichun?" Zhou Bingyi was surprised.
"That's not good. Maybe you even know me."
"You're kidding, how do I know her pen pal?"
The two of them chatted and laughed all the way into the Star Hall on the top floor. There are windows on the south and west sides. From here, you can have an unobstructed view of the antique street opposite.
There was nothing to say next. They were eating, drinking and chatting. Yao Lisong was in high spirits and talking about the achievements of the reform in the south with Zhou Bingyi when the door rang.
Zhou Bingyi wanted to get up and open the door, but Yao Lisong held him down.
"Come in, knock on the door, I'm waiting for you."
Click~
With a soft sound, the box door opened and a person walked in from the outside.
After seeing the face of the visitor, Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei were stunned.
"Bingkun? Why are you here?"
That's right, it's Zhou Bingkun, his younger brother.
"Come on, come on, sit down, sit down and say." Yao Lisong patted the seat next to him and instructed Lin Yue to sit down.
"I have something to do, I'm late." He apologized and looked at the boss of the Zhou family: "I've been back for almost a month."
Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei looked at each other.
Has he been back for a month? Why didn't my brother and sister-in-law get any news about this matter?
Lin Yue said: "I don't live at home, and you work in Hayang. There are many things to do, so I didn't ask my mother to tell you."
This is an explanation.
If you think about it seriously, it's understandable. If Zhou Bingkun and Zhou Zhigang didn't deal with each other, they wouldn't have had a big fight for three days and a small fight for two days when they lived together. As for not telling Zhou Bingyi, was it really because he didn't want to disturb his eldest brother because he was busy at work? Is there an element of fear of being lectured? After all, he beat Zhou Rong three months ago - Zhou Rong didn't dare to tell Li Suhua about this, but told Zhou Bingyi.
But it's not appropriate to talk about this matter now in front of Yao Lisong and Dong Weihong.
Hao Dongmei glanced at her husband and quickly changed the subject: "Bingkun, what's the matter? Do you know Lao Yao?"
"Yes, we have known each other for a while."
"It's like this." Yao Lisong further explained: "Wei Hong and I came to the Northeast this time, not just to visit the Corps, but with a mission. I heard, The Jichun City Auto Parts Factory has not been very profitable in recent years, so I want to know more about the situation. If possible, I can buy it through connections in the city. It is also possible to become a shareholder, but I have to take the majority. No, your brother has nothing to do with Jichun. He is familiar with the situation, so I asked him to come over and do some investigation work."
Yes, it seems that his younger brother has returned to his old job as a middleman.
Zhou Bingyi heard from people living in Guangzipian that his younger brother not only helped Hong Kong businessmen with ideas, but also brought people to the Northeast to discuss cooperation and collected benefits from them. Zhou Zhigang was very disdainful of what his younger son did. There is no difference between the pimp and the old Zhou family. If the Red Star Timber Processing Factory is sold to the capitalists, what will happen to the workers in the factory? In the past, Zhou Bingkun was the comprador of foreigners.
Zhou Bingyi didn't see it that way. He believed that no matter what role his brother played in it, for those small state-owned factories that were terminally ill, contracting to Hong Kong companies would at least have a way to survive. It was better to recognize the reality and accept restructuring than to sit back and wait for death.
As for the situation at the Jichun City Auto Parts Factory, he had heard about it. He heard that there was not only the problem of poor management, but also the problem of trusting others and being defrauded of millions of dollars that could not be recovered. It can be said that this was a hot potato. The superior departments didn't know whether they should fill this bottomless pit, but they didn't expect Yao Lisong to be interested in it.
"Auto parts factory? Isn't your Shanneng Group in the energy business? Why are you interested in an auto parts factory?"
Yao Lisong glanced at Lin Yue and said with a smile: "Yes, Shanneng Group's business is mainly concentrated in the energy field, but judging from the current situation, an overly single industrial structure is not conducive to the long-term and stable development of the company, and as a leader Investors must have an awareness of the overall situation, learn to seize the track, and make arrangements in advance to ensure that enterprises are not eliminated by the market.”
"Listen, listen." Zhou Bingyi looked at Hao Dongmei and said, "Is this the same old Yao we remember? What I said really makes me ashamed."
Yao Lisong said: "Am I miserable?"
Zhou Bingyi waved his hand and said: "Really not."
Yao Lisong put his hand on the wine glass, but did not raise it: "To be honest, it's like this. I'm very optimistic about the automobile business. You see, as our country's economic level continues to improve, people's income is rising every year. It's as high as before." Unattainable televisions, refrigerators, washing machines, and motorcycles have begun to enter ordinary households. I believe that the automobile industry will have great development in the future and will definitely become commodities that ordinary people can afford like home appliances. Therefore, we at Shangneng Group I plan to invest in the automobile industry. Compared with the South, the Northeast, as an old industrial base, has a complete automobile manufacturing industry chain. If we start here, we can save time and recruit more skilled workers."
"Hey, I understand when you put it like that." Zhou Bingyi almost pointed at his face and said it sounded like a human saying.
"Let me explain to you again. Regarding the deployment of automobile manufacturing in Northeast China this time, Shanneng Group and Shencheng Group have reached a strategic partnership. They take the majority and we take the small share. Do you know Shencheng Group?"
Zhou Bingyi nodded: "I've heard of it."
“As a Hong Kong-owned enterprise, Shenzhen Cheng Group cooperates with Shang Neng because, firstly, it values our status as a state-owned enterprise, and secondly, they have done well in the battery, electronic components, and solar energy industries, and Shang Neng has some business dealings with it. , so even if you don’t care about my face, for the future of the Northeast economy, you have to take more care of me.”
"No problem, I will help you if I can."
"That's right, come on, drink."
Yao Lisong raised his wine glass and invited the Zhou brothers to drink from the glass.
squeak~
Zhou Bingyi drank the wine in the glass, put some food into his mouth, and looked at his brother sitting next to Yao Lisong: "Old Yao, you know Bingkun is my brother and you still ask him to run errands for you, I tell you , I don’t want to treat him badly.”
Yao Lisong smiled, a little playfully: "Don't worry, I will never treat him badly."
"By the way, there's one more thing."
"What's the matter? Tell me."
"Do you still remember Wei Hong's pen pal I told you about just now?"
"Remember, what's wrong?" Zhou Bingyi glanced at Dong Weihong and found that she was completely unaware that Yao Lisong had brought the topic to her, and was chatting with Hao Dongmei not knowing what he was talking about, but he was very involved in it anyway.
"What did I say when I came in just now?"
"What did you say?"
"Wei Hong's pen pal is far away and right before our eyes."
Far away and right in front of you?
It was definitely not him, nor was it Yao Lisong, nor was it Hao Dongmei who jumped in line with Dong Weihong. Then there was only one person left in the room - his younger brother Zhou Bingkun.
Zhou Bingyi's eyes widened, thinking that Yao Lisong was joking, but after careful observation, he found that it was not a lie.
"Bingkun, is this true?"
Lin Yue nodded.
"..." Zhou Bingyi was speechless.
No wonder Yao Lisong half-jokingly told him that maybe he knew Dong Weihong's pen pal. Not only did he know her, he was very familiar with her.
"Bingkun..."
He wanted to ask Zhou Bingkun how he and Dong Weihong became pen pals, but his expression changed in the middle of the sentence because he suddenly remembered that when he was serving in the Corps in the past seven years, he received a letter from home. Zhou Bingkun asked him where Hao Dongmei joined the team and the conditions were difficult. Not bitter? Where were the educated youths who worked together from? He thought it was Li Suhua who was curious about his daughter-in-law's living conditions. He didn't think much about it at the time, so he wrote some information about Hao Dongmei in the letter, including that Dong Weihong had a good relationship with her.
It won't be that time...
No wonder Zhou Bingkun, who was far away in Jichun, knew about Hao Dongmei's infertility. In all likelihood, it was Dong Weihong, a big mouth, who said it.
Considering that Dong Weihong's hometown is in Guangdong, Yao Lisong changed his career to work in Shenzhen, and Zhou Bingkun went to the south after dropping out of Tsinghua University, he might have joined them.
Zhou Bingyi was a little unhappy, firstly because Zhou Bingkun had been hiding his correspondence with Dong Weihong, and secondly because he guessed that his younger brother probably benefited a lot from his relationship with Yao Lisong. Just talk about helping Hong Kong businessman Li Xianrong contract the Red Star Timber Factory. Is it possible for Zhou Bingkun to meet such a person with his qualifications? impossible! But what about Yao Lisong?
This is not a scam outside under his name, but it is similar in nature.
…
The feast ended soon.
As for the meal fee...the lobby manager gave him a 30% discount. According to her, it was the employee's price because the general manager of Longyue Hotel once worked in Jishantang and was an old friend of Mr. Zhou Bingkun.
Zhou Bingyi asked Hao Dongmei to check out, and he pulled Lin Yue into the bathroom.
"Bingkun, why didn't you tell me about you and Dong Weihong?"
"Did you drink too much?" Lin Yue turned on the faucet, put his hand in the sink and rinsed it: "Why do I have to tell you who I am friends with?"
"You ask why? Yao Lisong and I are comrades in arms." Zhou Bingyi pointed to the south and said, "Did you tell him that you are my brother? Did you ask him to help you introduce business?"
"If you insist on saying so, let's take it as such." Take this time of joint investment with Shanneng Group in Northeast China. Generally speaking, Yao Lisong did mean to help him introduce business.
"How could you do this?"
Zhou Bingyi was so angry that he slapped the sink with his hand: "How was the Hao family before? Did our old Zhou family have any contact with them? No! Dad has been a worker all his life and has been working diligently and without complaint. I have always remembered our father's teachings. No matter who comes to us through connections, we will do everything that should be done and reject everything that shouldn’t be done, but how can you use my name and rely on my comradeship with Yao Lisong to do this? Also, just now, in front of my boss I can’t say anything about you in front of Yao, Zhou Rong is your sister, she traveled all the way from the Northeast to Guangzhou, and you didn’t say good reception and even beat her up, how did you become your younger brother?”
"What does it mean to act indiscriminately? What does it mean to act in your name?" Lin Yue said: "As long as we don't violate laws and disciplines, do business reasonably and legally, win-win with the same interests, and achieve mutual benefit, then there will be no problem at all. The ancients also said The saying that a virtuous person never avoids relatives, when it comes to you, does it mean that I am using your name and your comradeship with Yao Lisong to make trouble? Well, to say the least, even if I really rely on you, this What is the result of this matter? Have you found a contractor for the Hongxing Timber Processing Plant? Have you attracted investment from Shanneng Group and Shencheng Group for Northeast China? Once the project is launched, how many jobs will be created for industrial workers? For such a In the end, what happened to how many favors you owed?"
Zhou Bingyi was speechless when he refuted it.
"The matter between me and Zhou Rong involves Yue Yue, and you have the least say in raising children. Finally, I ask you, even a mother is not a good person, how can she be a good sister? Without first Asking the elder sister to set a good example and criticizing the younger brother for their faults, you and Zhou Zhigang really have a fighting chance."
After saying this, without waiting for Zhou Bingyi's reply, Lin Yue shook off the water stains on his hands, pulled a piece of toilet paper from the box, wiped his hands, and turned to leave.
Zhou Bingyi was very angry because he called him Zhou Rong instead of sister, and he called Zhou Zhigang instead of dad. He wanted to scold him, but he was afraid of being reprimanded. Anyway, every time he talked to him, he was overwhelmed by those big principles.
Yao Lisong and Dong Weihong did not stay in the Northeast for too long. They only spent three days before going to Beijing. Lin Yue visited some auto parts companies on the spot. It was the end of the year and he thought it was not good to summon Dong Weihong's younger brother as the New Year was approaching. Ji Chun, I am planning to go to the auto parts factory to discuss restructuring and cooperation after the Spring Festival.
What troubles Lin Yue right now is whether he will be able to go home this year. Li Suhua knows that he is in Jichun, and Qiao Chunyan also knows that he should not go back. The person who wrote the photo still doesn't know how to convey his relationship with his family, so go back. , a Zhou Zhigang, a Zhou Rong, even if they don't say unpleasant words, they will definitely not give him a good look. Zheng Juan meant to go back, because it had been many years since she had returned to China to celebrate the New Year. At least she had to have the New Year's Eve dinner with Li Suhua. Even if she was like the boss and returned to her home after eating, it would only last for one meal, so she couldn't bear it. It was over. Thinking about the logic, he had no objection.
