At the same time, on the road leading to the capital, Lu Zhengjun in the jeep was talking about the matter with his cousin Lu Zhengying.
"Third brother, what on earth are your ministry thinking? Why do you suddenly use people from the Yan family? Aren't you afraid of being implicated?"
As a powerful person in the organizational department, Lu Zhengying is very clear about how bad the situation the Yan family is facing now.
According to the judgment of their ministry, if there are no major changes, they will not be able to return to Beijing for at least three to five years.
Now that the Ministry of Commerce suddenly appoints Yan Gengdong, this will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among some people.
And this cousin of his is actually Yan Gengdong's recommender, so he may be offended by some people.
Lu Zhengjun looked at his cousin, then said with a smile: "I'm afraid, but he is worth the risk!"
"You are so optimistic about the Yan family?" Lu Zhengying asked in surprise.
"No, Yan Gengdong's ability is indeed good, but it is not worth the risk for our commercial department. What we value is actually Zhou Yang!"
Lu Zhengjun did not hide his cousin.
"Zhou Yang? That's the young man standing with you just now. He looks to be in his twenties, right?" Lu Zhengying frowned.
"Yes, he is 23 this year...no, he should be 24, he is indeed very young!"
Then Lu Zhengjun changed his voice and said again: "But brother, do you know how our minister evaluates him?"
"explain!"
"He is worth 1 billion!"
"What?"
Lu Zhengjun was very satisfied with the shocked expression on his elder brother's face, and then said: "Our minister's original words are that Zhou Yang is a business genius, and he is worth at least 1 billion!"
"One billion, is that young man really that powerful?"
"Brother, you may not know that Zhou Yang has formulated a business plan for us. After evaluation by economic experts in the ministry, if this plan is implemented well, it will earn at least US$100 million in foreign exchange for the country every year!"
Lu Zhengjun looked confident when he said this, without the worry he had when talking to Zhou Yang just now.
If Zhou Yang were present, he would definitely point at his face and say: "You are such a good actor!"
"hiss!"
Hearing this, Lu Zhengying couldn't help but take a breath.
He knows how important foreign exchange is to the country today.
Without foreign exchange, many things can only be exchanged for precious metals such as gold or silver, and these precious metals are very important industrial raw materials. The country itself does not have enough, so how can there be so much used as foreign exchange.
Zhou Yang's plan can earn the country 100 million U.S. dollars in foreign exchange a year. He is indeed worth 1 billion.
Although the exchange rate between the RMB and the US dollar is currently stable at 1.5:1, on the black market, ten yuan in RMB may not be exchanged for one US dollar.
If you look at it this way, one billion is too little, even 10 billion is not an exaggeration!
"That being the case, why didn't you just transfer him to your commercial department? Why did you resort to such a roundabout strategy?" Lu Zhengying asked in confusion.
"Do you think we don't want to, but now many departments, including the military, are competing for him. Our Commercial Department has no advantage at all. We have no choice but to tie the people around him to our tanks!" Lu Zhengjun said.
To be honest, Lu Zhengying was really shocked when he heard what his cousin said.
He was very curious as to how good a person was that so many powerful departments were competing for him.
Even his friends can be won over by the Ministry of Commerce. Isn't this a typical example of one person achieving enlightenment and ascending to heaven?
"Then you are not afraid that he will fall out with you if he sees it?" Lu Zhengying said again.
"Haha, don't be afraid, this is a conspiracy, not a conspiracy!"
Then Lu Zhengjun said again: "Besides, the decision-making power on this matter is in his hands. If he really doesn't want to put in more effort, there's nothing we can do about it!"
"In addition, we also prepared a gift for him. I think for the sake of the gift, he won't argue with us even if he sees it!"
"Well, they all say that your minister is a genius, but no one else can do this!" Lu Zhengying said with emotion.
"The only thing we are worried about now is that Yan Gengdong is not important enough for Zhou Yang to do his best to help us!" Lu Zhengjun said.
"Then continue to start with the people around him. Isn't this the strength of your Minister Huang?"
"We would like to, but Zhou Yang's immediate family members are really useless, especially his uncles. Otherwise, we wouldn't choose Yan Gengdong!"
Then Lu Zhengjun said again: "But we got Zhou Yang's eldest brother back through connections. Our minister's intention is to get his brother to the Ministry of Commerce at all costs. Then we won't be afraid that he won't go all out!"
"You guys have worked so hard for that kid!"
"Haha, that's not true!"
.......
As for Zhou Yang, although he and Yan Gengdong had guessed this, they didn't expect that they had already set their sights on his eldest brother.
The two returned to the village. Yan Gengdong was busy taking care of some pigs in the pig pen, so he went back to the pig farm first.
Zhou Yang, on the other hand, had some things to deal with, so he turned around and went to the brigade headquarters.
The moment the two separated, Zhou Yang couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
Even though he has lived two lifetimes, he is still a little too naughty.
Not to mention the people in the Ministry of Commerce, even compared with Yan Gengdong, there is a lot of difference.
If Yan Gengdong hadn't analyzed it for him today, Zhou Yang really wouldn't have thought that Yan Gengdong's transfer to the Ministry of Commerce had anything to do with him.
However, thinking about the past few hours, I have been introducing plans and making suggestions. Isn't this the result that those above want to see?
They had obviously investigated the relationship between themselves and Yan Gengdong and knew that after he became the project leader, they would not be able to ignore the plan, so they transferred Yan Gengdong to be the executor of the plan.
And it was indeed impossible for him to remain indifferent. Unknowingly, he had entered into the trap set by the other party.
To be honest, Zhou Yang has always positioned himself as a relatively smart researcher.
He has always felt that he is a little clever, and most people still have to go through some tricks if they want to trick him.
But now it seems that he still overestimated himself.
In terms of popular tricks, I am no match for those professionals.
Fortunately, the above just wanted to put more effort into it and had no ill intentions.
Otherwise, he wouldn't even know how he was killed.
Sure enough, you have to stay calm and stay away from the waves, Gou is the king!
Carrying the small cloth bag back to the brigade headquarters, Zhou Yang saw the little girl Tan Shiqing adding charcoal to the stove.
Next to her feet was an iron teapot full of water stains, and a thermos bottle that had not had time to cover the wooden stopper. It seemed that it had just been filled with water.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Yang couldn't help but nodded. This girl is really diligent!
He knew that because of the television, many people in the brigade headquarters watched TV every night.
Therefore, Tan Shiqing would boil a few warm pots of tea early every day so that everyone would have hot water to drink while watching TV.
I have to say, this little girl is really enthusiastic.
Even though she is young and has not been in the village for a long time, everyone from the village cadres to the educated youths who are ordinary members of the commune is quite curious about this girl.
"What about boiling water?"
Hearing the sound, Tan Shiqing immediately looked back.
After realizing it was Zhou Yang, he immediately smiled and said, "Well, now that it's cooked, everyone will have tea to drink in the evening!"
"fine!"
Then Zhou Yang said again: "There are some middle school and high school textbooks that I got back in the conference room next door. You can sort them out later, and then when everyone gets off work, ask the educated youth to stay and clean out the conference room. This is where they will study from now on!”
"OK!"
"In addition, please tell them again that they can read and borrow all the textbooks at will, but try not to take them away. If you really want to take them back to the dormitory to read, please register with Cui Jinjin!"
"Okay, I'll notify them!"
"Okay, then get busy!"
After saying that, Zhou Yang took the small cloth bag given to him by Lu Zhengjun and walked towards his home!
