When Wang Dingmei came back, Zheng Bajin had already left.
Qingqing had already cleared the dishes and bowls on the table, and the rice was gone, all eaten by Zheng Bajin.
Zheng Bajin did not ask Qingqing for money, but Qingqing settled the accounts with him and gave Zheng Bajin the rest of the recent sales, except for a part of the change that needed to be used as replacement.
Zheng Bajin went out with more than a thousand yuan and was filled with emotions. For an ordinary person, this money is a year's income, but for him now, it is a drop in the bucket and it can't change anything at all. .
After going out, he found a landline phone and called Secretary Zhao, saying that he wanted to treat her to a casual dinner.
Secretary Zhao was at work, sorting out a document in his hand. He picked up the phone and suppressed his happiness when he understood Zheng Bajin's purpose.
I originally wanted to make a joke, saying how could you, Boss Zheng, have time to treat this young lady to dinner when you have so many things to do.
However, at this time, Mr. Yang walked in and asked, "Has there been any news about Zheng Bajin recently? How is his factory going?"
Secretary Zhao was stunned, reached out to cover the receiver, and said, "This is from Zheng Bajin. I haven't had time to ask him about his situation." What he was thinking was, this man is really interesting, what a coincidence, right?
Yang Lao's expression was also stagnant, and he said: "Ask where he is? Come to my office when you have time."
Secretary Zhao nodded hurriedly, pulled away the jade hand on the microphone, and said, "I just happen to be free, please come to the office."
Zheng Bajin, who was opposite, felt happy and said hurriedly: "Right now, we'll be there in three minutes."
With that said, he hung up the phone, paid fifty cents, and ran towards the municipal building without having time to prepare anything.
Secretary Zhao over there heard this and disagreed. He did not dare to say that Zheng Bajin would be there in three minutes. Instead, he said with a smile: "Zheng Bajin said he would be there soon."
Mr. Yang nodded and said, "Bring him to my office when he comes." After saying that, he walked into the office next door.
It just so happened that he didn't have a meeting today and would attend the decoration completion and opening ceremony of the department store in half an hour. He just had time to meet Zheng Bajin and hear about the construction status of his factory.
In less than three minutes, Zheng Bajin appeared in front of Secretary Zhao's office.
Seeing the way he was panting, Secretary Zhao knew that he was running and said hurriedly: "Mr. Yang is in the office. I will take you there. I haven't seen you in the ham store for a long time. This time is Are you really busy?"
"I was a little busy, but I'm feeling better now." Zheng Bajin took two deep breaths, calmed down, and followed Secretary Zhao to Mr. Yang's office.
Not long after Yang Lao sat down, he saw Secretary Zhao standing at the door, reaching out to knock on the door, and hurriedly said: "Come in!"
Zheng Bajin followed her into the office.
Yang Lao nodded and said, "Sit down!"
Zheng Bajin did not sit down, but took the cup that Secretary Zhao was about to pour for him and said, "I'll do it!"
"Okay, go and do your work. I'll have a word with Zheng Bajin!" Mr. Yang gave the order. Of course, Secretary Zhao would not be like some fools and say to the leader, "I'm not busy, I'll stay here." Listen to what you two have to say.
Watching Secretary Zhao go out, Mr. Yang looked at Zheng Bajin and said, "You have become the boss, why are you still dressed like this? Do you have no money?"
Zheng Bajin looked at his clothes and felt a little embarrassed. He did not say that he was used to wearing them and was reluctant to change them. Instead, he took the opportunity to say: "I really have no money. Now that I have repaired the factory, I am a polished commander again."
"Has the factory been repaired? It seems that your work efficiency is quite high." Mr. Yang nodded with admiration, and then changed the topic, "However, even if you have no money, you still have to buy two pieces of clothes. You can't lose money. Own."
"Okay, thank you for your concern, Mr. Yang. I'll get two new ones later." Zheng Bajin looked at Mr. Yang and laughed.
He didn't want to mention the money because he wanted to wait for Mr. Yang to come up with an idea.
"Then tell me, how many pigs can your factory raise now?" Mr. Yang got down to business. Of course, he didn't have time to talk nonsense with Zheng Bajin. His time was very tight, only half an hour.
"It can raise more than two thousand heads." Zheng Bajin told the truth. He was not like some people in later generations who exaggerated and ended up borrowing things to make up for the loss.
Mr. Yang is not someone who is easy to fool, nor is he the kind of old man who helps people smooth things over by offering some benefits. He is a person who really wants to do things and improve Qiucheng's economy. Otherwise, he will not think highly of himself. A loser with no capital and no background.
Yang Lao looked at Zheng Bajin with a deep look in his eyes, as if he wanted to see through Zheng Bajin's surface and penetrate his heart.
Zheng Bajin was shocked in his heart, but he was not panicked at all. What he said was all true and could withstand discussion.
"Is it really that big?" Yang Lao seemed to see his calmness and believed it a little, and said, "Then tell me, how much more money is needed?"
"Of course, the more, the better." Zheng Bajin secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile.
"There is no money in the finance department now. You know that. By the way, how many animals did the Animal Husbandry Bureau give you?" Mr. Yang said, pointing to the office building and the wooden boards on the ground, which were all severely deformed.
"Five hundred!" Zheng Bajin told the truth without thinking. This is not a joke. Who is Yang Lao? Moreover, they know the specific number. After a phone call, the truth will be revealed, so there is no need to be clever here.
Yang Lao nodded and said, "Drink water, you're welcome."
Zheng Bajin was really thirsty, so he took a sip, picked up the kettle, helped Yang Lao refill it, and refilled it for himself.
Yang Lao took a sip of tea and said in an approachable manner: "Well, there are not so many piglets in the Animal Husbandry Bureau. After all, they have to deal with ten counties and one city, and they can't give them all to you. Otherwise, People will gossip about you. I think you might as well apply for a loan from the bank?"
Zheng Bajin nodded and said, "I've thought about it too, but the bank won't give me too much money at once. I'm just an unknown little character, and people are afraid that I won't be able to repay it."
This is the truth. Of course, there is no precedent of using a factory as a mortgage loan.
"It's okay. Try to coordinate as much as possible. I'll tell the Agricultural Bank of China later. I can't guarantee if it's too much. A few thousand yuan shouldn't be a big problem." Yang Lao said still smiling.
Zheng Bajin nodded and said with a look of great joy: "Great, as long as there is a word from Mr. Yang, no matter how much, the urgent need can be solved. Then I won't disturb Mr. Yang and leave now!"
What he wanted was this sentence, otherwise, it would be difficult to deal with banks nowadays. With his own status, others would not feel at ease even if he borrowed a thousand yuan.
Yang Lao nodded and called Xiao Zhao, asking her to give Zheng Bajin a gift.
Secretary Zhao was in her office and couldn't hear what was being said here. However, as soon as Mr. Yang called her, she would come over immediately and take Zheng Bajin downstairs.
