"Manager, are you looking for me?" The door of the office was pushed open, and a rather delicate-looking young girl wearing a suit, slightly taller, somewhat dark-skinned, without makeup walked into the office and faced the desk. Mai Miao, who was sitting behind, asked.
"Xiaomei, come here! Sit down!" Mai Miao smiled and waved to Li Xiaomei.
Li Xiaomei is not from Jintan Village, but from another immigrant village. She has a high school education. She originally wanted to work in Fujian Province. Later, when she heard that Shanhai Group was recruiting, her parents signed her up.
At first, Li Xiaomei was a little unhappy, because compared to the Northwest she was familiar with, she yearned more for Fujian Province, which has a warm and humid climate and abundant rainfall, and she yearned even more for the sea she had never seen before.
But after joining Shanhai Group, passing the training, and receiving the first month's salary of 1,200 yuan as a regular employee, I was completely relieved.
"How have you been lately? Are you getting used to work?" Mai Miao asked with concern, a warm smile like a spring breeze on her face.
"Very good!" Li Xiaomei sat opposite Mai Miao, and the two looked at each other across the desk. Li Xiaomei was a little nervous, holding her hands tightly in front of her lower abdomen, and asked anxiously: "Manager, what did I do wrong? ?”
"No, no!" Mai Miao comforted her softly: "You have only been full-time for more than two months, and you still need to adapt to a lot of work. Our financial department does not have so many rules. Please relax and don't be nervous."
Li Xiaomei was obviously relieved.
"Xiaomei, among the people who joined our department together, although you are not the most highly educated or the smartest, you have one thing that makes you do better than other colleagues."
"But your shortcomings are also obvious."
Mai Miao said bluntly: "If you want to do a good job in finance, it's not enough to be careful. You also need to have a certain understanding of the professional knowledge of finance and accounting."
Li Xiaomei was a little confused and didn't know what Mai Miao meant when he told her this. But Li Xiaomei had a very good attitude and listened carefully with her ears erect.
Mai Miao also changed her voice: "Recently, the construction company is about to enter the settlement stage of the third phase of the Minning Village project. You must seize this opportunity and use what you learned during the training. , pay close attention to practice, and turn the knowledge taught by the teacher in the training class into your own."
"If there is something you don't understand, don't figure it out on your own, just ask the team leader, supervisor, or me directly."
"Ah?" Li Xiaomei was a little confused: "The third phase of the project is about to be settled?"
Mai Miao said: "The project is completed and the acceptance inspection has been passed. The settlement must be settled!"
"But don't we have the final payment yet?" Li Xiaomei asked puzzledly.
Mai Miao explained with a smile: "You just came here, so it's not surprising that you don't know. Our group is different from other construction companies and construction teams. This is our company's rule. As long as each project passes the acceptance inspection, no matter whether it is from After Party A receives the final payment, our company will advance the payment to settle the wages with the construction team."
"The folks have worked hard for so long, and what they are looking forward to is the little wages!"
Li Xiaomei nodded in agreement and asked curiously: "What if Party A keeps delaying and doesn't pay us the bill?"
"This is nothing we can do!" Mai Miao explained, still smiling: "Okay, you go back and clean up, and follow me to the construction company tomorrow."
"Good manager!"
······
On the way back to Jintan Village, Debao was riding a motorcycle, with Mai Miao sitting behind him. His hands passed under Debao's ribs and hugged Debao's waist.
"How are things going?" The whistling wind carried Debao's voice into Mai Miao's ears.
"Don't worry, everything is done. I will take Li Xiaomei to your construction company tomorrow to do the settlement of the third phase of the project."
"You have to make peace with Gawa! Teach him well." Mai Miao was a little worried. Gawa didn't have the emotional intelligence as high as Debao and didn't know how to make the baby girl happy.
"You can rest assured about this. With me personally teaching you, Gawa is just a stone. I can teach him to enlightenment."
"Look what you can do!" Mai Miao replied angrily to Debao. If Debao hadn't been unable to turn around at this moment, he would have definitely seen the white eyes of Mai Miao.
"By the way, what's going on with Brother Defu?" Mai Miao suddenly remembered Ma Defu, who hadn't been home for a long time, and asked curiously.
"Looking at him like that, he must be inseparable." Every time Debao asked about Defu and Qingxia, although Defu said it was nothing, the aunt's smile on his face was not even his own. In retrospect, in the past few years in Debao's construction company, Wang Zhongjiao's skills had fallen behind a lot, but his ability to observe people's emotions was good.
"When are you going to call Brother Defu to bring Sister Qingxia home so that we can meet her too?" Mai Miao's eyes lit up, she shook Debao from behind and said anxiously.
"It doesn't matter what I said."
"Try talking!" Mai Miao didn't want to give up.
"Okay, okay, I'll tell you later."
······
Time entered the year 2000. After more than a year, Minning Town was initially completed. Ma Defu was promoted by the superiors because of his outstanding performance in the immigration work and became the deputy mayor. At the same time, he almost had the beauty in his arms. I talked to Qingxia about my partner and they were going to get married soon.
Jintan Village was also merged into Minning Town. Shanhai Group invested and built all the main roads into the village into asphalt roads. The headquarters of Shanhai Group was also determined. In the newly built Minning Town, the government specially allocated funds to Shanhai Group. A piece of land was granted to build their headquarters.
Shanhai Group is gradually getting on the right track. The Agricultural Trade Company’s bisporus business is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more orphan farmers. The farmers have signed contracts with Shanhai Farmers. During the spring, summer and autumn production periods, every day Shanhai Agricultural Trade has dedicated personnel who go to the villages to purchase the fresh fruits from the farmers.
Part of it is transported to the cold storage in the city, and part of it is reprocessed in a factory on the outskirts of town, made into dried fruit, and sold to pharmaceutical companies in Sichuan Province.
At the same time, the scale of beach sheep breeding in Minning Village is also increasing. In order to avoid overgrazing and ecological damage, Shanhai Farm Trade and the government district government have jointly agreed on the strategic decision on the sustainable development of animal husbandry in Minning Town, stipulating that The upper limit for farmers to raise Tan sheep has been set, and the pastures suitable for breeding in Yuquanying have been divided.
Many villagers saw that the wolfberries grown on Wang Zhong's farm were selling for a high price, and they imitated Wang Zhong and planted wolfberries in the fields. They also signed an agreement with Shanhai Farm Trade, and the farmers were responsible for planting and drying. Shanhai Agriculture is responsible for the purchase.
The villagers don't have to worry about not being able to sell what they grow in the fields. As long as they take care of the crops and animals with peace of mind, they will naturally make money.
Moreover, the prices given by Shanhai Farmers are very fair, and every purchase is based on the market price.
Moreover, Shanhai Agricultural Trade has cold storage, transportation channels, and trade channels from other provinces. Farmers do not have to worry about the purchase price plummeting due to excessive production.
Shanhai Agriculture has also become the largest subsidiary of Shanhai Group, once surpassing the construction company.
The construction company also carried out reforms this year and formally established Shanhai Real Estate. With the help of the group and other subsidiaries, Shanhai Real Estate also expanded rapidly during this year and embarked on the road from Party B to Party A.
First, we acquired two plots in the center of Xingqing, the provincial capital of Ningxia. One plot was completely developed in the form of a commercial mall + residential CBD, and the other was completely a residential area.
This can be regarded as a big gamble by Shanhai Real Estate. In order to build these two land parcels, the real estate company invested all its assets and borrowed 100 million from the bank.
When making this decision, Debao didn't dare to make the decision himself. It was Wang Zhong who was in charge. For this matter, Debao even moved to Xingqing City and went to the site to supervise the work in person, not daring to let any problems go into the project.
He owed the bank 100 million and had to pay interest. How could Debao dare to make any mistakes? He wished he could keep an eye on it all the time.
The couple, who had just been married for just over half a year, had to live apart in two places due to work commitments.
Fortunately, Xingqing is not far from Minning. It only takes more than two hours by car.
It was not until 2002, after two years, that the Shanhai Plaza project was officially completed. After the completion acceptance, it was immediately put into use.
In order to promote the project, the construction company spent millions more and bombarded it with advertisements on TV every day. In reality, they hired motorcades and bands to parade in the streets and alleys of Xingqing City to promote the project.
Under such a large-scale advertising bombardment, Shanhai Plaza ushered in a huge crowd of people on the first day it opened. Especially the supermarket located on the first basement floor attracted countless citizens to rush to buy under the super discount.
Cheap rice, white flour, vegetables, as well as toilet paper, toothpaste, toothbrushes, towels and other daily necessities.
If this were placed in the real world, people would have been accustomed to these marketing methods for a long time. However, it is only 2002, and even the housing market has not reached the turning point of rapid development. People's thinking is still stuck in the past. Xingqing City Although it is the provincial capital of Ningxia, it is also a city located in the barren and backward northwest region, so its development is naturally not as fast as that of the big cities along the southern coast.
Fortunately, Xingqing City is the provincial capital of Ningxia. Although it is not as prosperous as those first- and second-tier cities, it is still the capital of a province. The overall economic conditions are not too bad, and there are many people who are willing to spend. The shopping malls are barely running. But the really popular thing is the big supermarket underneath.
On the contrary, the residential area next to it is very popular because of its advanced design concepts.
There is also the office building, which is entirely covered with laminated glass and has a strong sense of technology and modernity. Once completed, it attracted countless local private companies to settle in.
Seeing that the square gradually recovered its capital and began to enter the profit stage, Debao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
On the other side, just over a month after the Xingqing City Plaza opened, Wang Zhong received a call.
"Director Lei?" Wang Zhong was really surprised when he received this call. Last year, during the change of office, the original director of the Chengguan Water Conservancy Station was transferred to the Haiji County Water Conservancy Bureau as director.
"I didn't expect Comrade Wang Zhong would still remember me!" Director Lei's hearty voice came from the phone.
"Even if I forget someone, I can't forget Director Lei." Wang Zhong said with a smile.
"I don't know why the director called me specifically, why are you here?" The previous words were naturally polite. Although Wang Zhong and Director Lei had a friendship, it was only limited to the original water supply incident. After that, the two The person did not continue to interact in depth.
However, in recent years, Jintan Village, including Wang Zhong's farm, has been using water from the Chengguan water pumping station. Naturally, Wang Zhong and Director Lei, the former station director, inevitably come into contact.
But that's all. Apart from that, the two of them have no other contact.
After all, one is an official and the other is a businessman.
"It's nothing. Didn't the leadership team of your Minning Town change? The three-level water pumping station project has also been re-established. As for our Water Conservancy Bureau, I will be responsible for this project for the time being. Your construction company under Shanhai Real Estate is in charge of this project. We are the most powerful in this area. I wonder if Wang Zhong is interested in talking about the construction of a three-level water pumping station?"
"You must be interested!" Wang Zhong said with a smile: "But I have long ignored these matters. I don't know when Director Lei will be free. I will ask the person in charge of our construction team to go to your office to find you in person. , would you like to inquire about the construction of a three-level water pumping station?"
"That's right, your Shanhai Group doesn't just do engineering!"
"Okay, how about tomorrow morning?" Director Lei's voice rang again on the phone.
"No problem, I'll ask the person in charge of our construction team to come over early tomorrow morning."
·······
After hanging up the phone, Shui Hua, who was driving next to him, couldn't help but curiously asked: "Is the third-level water pumping station going to be repaired?"
Wang Zhong nodded and said: "It's about to be repaired! I guess Director Lei came to me just for the purpose of bidding."
"Our construction team has the highest qualifications and the strongest strength. For such a big issue as the Yangshui Station, they will definitely come to us." Shui Hua was not surprised at all.
As he spoke, his voice suddenly changed and he said with emotion: "This water pumping station should have been repaired a long time ago. It has been many years since we came to Diaozhuang. First we bought the expensive well water from the motorized well, and then the irrigation canal was repaired. And I have been using water from the Chengguan Yangtze Water Station, and the water price is two-thirds more expensive than normal.”
"We have been talking about building a three-level water pumping station for many years, but there has been no movement. Why is it suddenly being built now?"
Wang Zhong said: "The leaders of the town have changed. Director Zhang has been back for so long. It is already too slow to say that he wants to build a water pumping station now."
Shuihua laughed when she heard this: "Yes, Director Zhang is different from the previous leaders in the town. When we came to Diaozhuang, it was Director Zhang who led Defu to the village to do the work together."
"Yes!" When talking about this, the past can't help but come to mind: "How many years have passed!"
Shui Hua looked at Wang Zhong in the passenger seat, and the smile on his face became brighter, like a blooming sunflower.
