Even Cao Debao could see the problems in the soy sauce factory, and Qu Xiuzhen was naturally more aware. With the deepening of reform and opening up, foreign high-quality and low-cost agricultural products have entered the domestic market. Northeastern grain crops, such as corn, wheat, and soybeans, have become more competitive. As prices are declining, agricultural and sideline products processed from grain crops are also becoming unsalable.
Wu Yuzhao is almost retired, so why is he so anxious to slap himself in the face and beg Zhou Bingkun to save the soy sauce factory? Three or four years ago, when a factory like the soy sauce factory went bankrupt, factory leaders could be transferred to other state-owned factories or even government agencies and institutions. This is no longer possible. Enterprises and institutions are already overcrowded, and the state advocates that young cadres Internationalization, knowledge, and specialization, those graduates from prestigious universities have to wait in line for a long time to get the establishment, let alone those from bankrupt companies. This road is basically blocked, and he can only retreat this time. The hope is that by contracting the business to capable Hong Kong businessmen, they can at least keep their pensions.
You must know that if young people are unemployed, they can still find other jobs. No matter how hard it is, they can still contribute and they will not starve to death. What about the elderly people? If they really get to the point where they can’t even pay out their pension, what will they be pointing to for a living?
Qu Xiuzhen understood this very well, and for the sake of social harmony and stability, she tried her best to facilitate Zhou Bingkun's contracting of the soy sauce factory. However, now that the contract agreement has been signed, the fundamental question still remains, that is, how can the soy sauce factory turn a profit.
She knew very well that Zhou Bingkun was from Jichun and also a businessman, not a philanthropist who did not ask for anything in return. It was a good thing to save the soy sauce factory and keep the workers' jobs, but if it became a drag on Shencheng Group, then she would have a bad conscience.
Lin Yue said: "Let's pursue balance of payments first and take our time."
"Bingkun, this matter... I'm sorry for you." Hearing his helpless and emotional words, Qu Xiuzhen patted the stone railing on the embankment and sighed heavily, feeling that she was He's causing trouble.
"Mrs. Qu, you seem to have misunderstood what I said."
Qu Xiuzhen turned around after hearing this, her face full of doubts.
"Songhuajiang Soy Sauce Factory is not like Hongxing Wood Processing Factory. The most important thing for daily necessities for the public is word of mouth. If Songhuajiang brand soy sauce becomes a nationally famous condiment, guess what will happen next?" Lin Yue walked to her Beside him, he said while looking at the gurgling Songhua River.
"Are you afraid that... what happened at Jishantang will happen again?"
I have to say that the old lady's mind works very quickly.
Lin Yue nodded: "The world is dangerous and people are unpredictable. I have to take precautions. Wait another two years. When the relevant laws and regulations are perfected, I will let you see a prosperous Songhua River soy sauce factory."
"So confident? Okay, I'll wait for you." Qu Xiuzhen looked calm on the surface, but was actually very excited inside, because according to him, she already had a clue about the success of the soy sauce factory. You must know that as the boss of the soy sauce factory, she The leader has stayed there for several years, and her feelings for the factory are beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.
Tsk~
At this time, a Volkswagen sedan with a Guangdong license plate stopped on the road next to the river embankment. The driver's door opened, and a man in his thirties who was dressed in a fashionable dress came out: "Brother Bingkun, can I find you?" ”
Qu Xiuzhen heard the word "Bingkun" and looked over: "Looking for you?"
"Yes, this guy's name is Dong Zhao, Yao Lisong's brother-in-law, and Dong Weihong's younger brother. As long as you give him enough parts, he can assemble a car for you in minutes."
"So...you plan to hand over the management of the auto parts factory to him?"
Lin Yue nodded: "Don't look at his flamboyant clothes, which give people a sense of indifference, but in Guangzhou Chentian, the bosses are willing to pay this amount to hire him."
While speaking, he gestured to the old lady.
"so smart?"
Lin Yue nodded and smiled.
While the two were talking, Dong Zhao came over.
"Li Wanquan said that you came to the Songhua River with an old lady to see the scenery. Give me a call." Dong Zhao complained, smiled at Qu Xiuzhen, and then got down to business: "The auto parts factory agreed, as long as Let’s make up for the eight million hole and sign a contract agreement with us.”
Lin Yue asked again: "What's the attitude of Weichai?"
Dong Zhao shook his head: "They said they were not interested."
"OK, then we won't take them to play." Lin Yue said: "When will the land for building the factory be approved?"
"My brother-in-law called his brother's unit and contacted the city's competent department. He said it would take two months at the earliest to complete the process, and you would have to sign the agreement by then."
Lin Yue calculated the time: "June? I'm afraid not, I don't have time, let's postpone it to one month later."
"No time? What are you going to do?"
"First go to Japan, then go to the United States, then fly to Canada to meet someone, and finally stay in Austria for a few days. It won't be until July when I come back."
Dong Zhao didn't ask him why he went abroad, because he was already used to it. This was in the Northeast. When he was in Shenzhen, it was difficult to ask him to have a meal. Today he was in Hong Kong, tomorrow he was in Taiwan, the day after tomorrow he was in Singapore, and the day after tomorrow he was in Japan and South Korea. This guy's schedule made him and her sister feel numb. If ordinary people worked like this, they would be exhausted. But Uncle Zhou didn't know what was going on. It was like steel made of iron. They have known each other for more than ten years. I didn't hear him complain about hard work or tiredness.
"What are you doing after wandering around like this?"
From Japan to the United States, from the United States to Canada, then to Austria, and then back to China, we basically circled the earth.
Qu Xiuzhen suddenly became very interested in his work. Ten years later, she only knew that Zhou Bingkun had become a blockbuster and founded Shenzhen... no, it should be said that it was the leading private company in the entire South China region. How did he achieve success? I don’t understand the process and details. It’s precisely because I don’t understand that I’m curious.
"Tiancheng Electronics Factory is preparing to expand an LCD production line. The most commercial patent for LCDs, LCD production technology, is in the hands of the Japanese. I went to Japan to discuss cooperation with them. At the very least, I also need to obtain a patent license. I went to the United States to see if it was possible to circumvent regulation, indirectly acquire or hold a controlling stake in MIPS Technology Company, and obtain RISC processor technology. Canada is very close to the United States, and Matrox is doing pretty well in graphics processing technology. I want to talk to its CEO to see if there is any possibility of cooperation in the future. As for Austria, to be honest, I went there because of Steyr’s diesel engine technology. Although Yao Lisong and I are optimistic about the personal passenger car market, However, given the current economic situation, it is still too early to popularize personal passenger cars, and the market is too small. On the contrary, the public transportation bus business in large, medium and small cities is growing at an exponential rate. Let’s start with passenger cars. With industry accumulation, we can wait for the opportunity. When the conditions are ripe, it will be easy to take another step forward.”
Qu Xiuzhen was dumbfounded. She had never heard of anything he was talking about and had no idea what it was. Except for the last diesel engine technology, Steyr in Austria was a car manufacturing company.
"How do you know about these companies and their information?"
Lin Yue smiled: "Secret."
Qu Xiuzhen took several deep breaths before suppressing the urge to hit someone.
"Okay, it's getting late. Dong Zhao, you can drive Mrs. Qu home. I'll go to Uncle Ding's place to check out his new land." Lin Yue ordered, and then said goodbye to Qu Xiuzhen.
"Look, you are busier than Lao Ma before he retired."
The old lady shook her head, waved her hand somewhat helplessly, and followed Dong Zhao towards the car parked on the side of the road.
…
1991 passed quickly.
In the summer of 1992, Yueyue was admitted to Peking University as she wished, and now she and Xiao Lei could finally live together.
In 1993, Sun Xiaoning graduated from Wuhan University and later returned to Jichun. As an assistant to Dong Zhao, he worked as an intern at an auto parts factory. Three demons, the Zhou family can produce three college students from top universities, how can the Sun family compare with the Zhou family?
Also in this year, with the deepening of reform and opening up, China began to integrate into the world supply chain with its cheap labor force and huge market, and Shencheng Group's business exploded, from light industry clothing and textiles, household paper, home decoration materials, to LCD panels, optical lenses, computer motherboards, peripheral equipment, communication equipment in the electronic field, as well as non-ferrous metal smelting and processing, automobile manufacturing, solar energy technology, real estate development, hotels and catering... spanning more than 20 industries, becoming a private enterprise in South China the leader. As the vice president of the group, even if he has always kept a low profile, with the popularity of telephones, television, and radio, people have more and more channels for obtaining information, and it has become increasingly difficult for him to conceal his identity.
