"What is this for?"

Seeing so much money, Qin Zhengguo raised his eyebrows, and his face instantly fell.

"It's always good to have a little more money when you're poor, but it won't do any good if I leave it to you." Seeing that he was almost finished smoking, Song Yuanchao handed over another cigarette and said, "In addition, this money is also useless."

It’s not given to you, it’s just for you to take with you and do something by the way.”

Qin Zhengguo held the cigarette and looked at Song Yuanchao without saying anything.

Song Yuanchao lit a cigarette by himself, took a puff and said: "Actually, Daqi had planned to go to Yangcheng before, but later he stayed because he had to do things with me in Shanghai. Not only him, I also went to Yangcheng to see

I want to see it, but I can’t go there yet. This time you go there and act as a front stop for us.”

"What do you mean...?" Qin Zhengguo's expression softened and he lit a cigarette and asked.

"The country's policy has gradually opened up. The south is different from the north. Yangcheng is close to the Xiangjiang River and has been greatly influenced by that area, so it opened up earlier and more comprehensively."

"It is said that doing business has become normal in Yangcheng, and the policies are much more relaxed than in other places. And I got news that the country is still discussing the establishment of a special economic zone in the south, which is likely to be set up in Pengcheng, not far from Yangcheng.

.”

"When you arrive in Yangcheng, you first need to find a place to settle down. It's best to buy a house, and then follow Li Daqi's friends there to see more and see if there is any business that can be done. Then start some."

, Song Yuanchao glanced at Qin Zhengguo, he did not say how to do business in detail, because he knew that with Qin Zhengguo's ability, there was no need to teach him, not to mention what the situation in Yangcheng is like now. Song Yuanchao didn't know very well. Qin Zhengguo would know everything after he went there.

.

"In a word, first establish yourself and then find out the situation. You can take care of the rest by yourself. This money is for you to open up the situation over there. It can also be regarded as an investment for all of us in the south."

Hearing this, Qin Zhengguo understood Song Yuanchao's intention. He nodded and rewrapped the money without saying a word.

He stood up, put out his cigarette butts in the ashtray, and continued to pack his luggage.

Song Yuanchao helped him pack. In fact, Qin Zhengguo didn't have much. Besides, the weather was getting warmer now. It wasn't cold even in the winter in the south. There was no need to bring those cotton-padded jackets, just a change of clothes and toiletries.

After finishing, the two walked out of the three-story pavilion with their luggage, closed and locked the door, and Qin Zhengguo left the key to Song Yuanchao.

When they got downstairs, Song Yuanchao rode a bicycle to take Qin Zhengguo to Laobei Station in person. When he got there, he asked about the train bound for Yangcheng at 11 o'clock in the middle of the night. He bought the ticket for this train. Song Yuanchao took Qin Zhengguo to the entrance.

.

"Go back, it won't be safe on the road if you go back later." It was getting late. Qin Zhengguo took the backpack and smiled at Song Yuanchao: "I will ask Daqi's friend to call him when I get there. If nothing happens here,

Send me a telegram. Anyway, you don’t need the money to send a telegram. We’ll see you when this matter is over!”

"Okay!" Song Yuanchao nodded heavily: "Take care and be safe along the way!"

"Mother-in-law, you're so verbose!" Qin Zhengguo clenched his fist and punched Song Yuanchao's chest, grinned, picked up his luggage and turned around to leave. When he entered the entrance, he didn't stop at all, and his figure disappeared from Song Yuanchao's eyes in the blink of an eye.

Early the next morning, Song Yuanchao counted and verified the remaining materials in the workshop. The printing work officially ended today, and it would be completed in the next day after finishing and binding.

Song Yuanchao has been busy with this work all morning, and the comrades in the workshop are also seizing the last moment to complete these tasks. Although they are a little busier and more tired, everyone is in a very happy mood, because yesterday Song Yuanchao announced the bonus to everyone.

Today I will send it to everyone before work, and then I will give you the good news of a day off.

Everyone has been looking forward to this for a long time, and when they think about the bonus they are about to receive, their whole bodies are as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

Song Yuanchao didn't see Director Ma in the factory all morning. He must be at the school.

After lunch, Director Ma arrived belatedly. He first asked the cashier to arrange everyone's bonus distribution, and then waved to Song Yuanchao.

"master!"

"I just discussed what I said yesterday with the principal. Now go to the principal's office. The principal wants to see you for something." Originally, Song Yuanchao thought that Director Ma would bring good news, but who would have thought that the principal wanted to see him.

"The principal is looking for me? What's the matter, master?" Song Yuanchao was immediately stunned.

"Haha, I should talk to you. After all, you brought up this matter. It's normal for the principal to ask you. Go quickly. The principal has something to go out later. Don't keep him waiting for a long time." Director Ma looked on.

As usual, Song Yuanchao responded and rushed towards the school.

After a while, he knocked on the door of the principal's office. Principal Zhou, who was sitting at his desk and looking at documents, saw Song Yuanchao coming and waved to him to come in.

"Principal, are you looking for me?"

"Yuanchao, you sit down first." Principal Zhou said kindly, and stood up to pour water for Song Yuanchao.

Song Yuanchao quickly took the water bottle and poured it himself, while filling Principal Zhou's tea cup with water, and then the two sat down on the sofa.

"Lao Ma came to see me this morning. You should know what's going on." After sitting down, Principal Zhou asked straight to the point.

Song Yuanchao nodded, of course he knew this, wasn't it just what he told Director Ma yesterday.

"The school has no objection to this matter," Principal Zhou said.

"So you agree?" Song Yuanchao didn't expect Principal Zhou to agree so readily, and his face immediately showed joy.

"Why don't you agree? I'm not an old-fashioned person." Principal Zhou smiled immediately when he saw Song Yuanchao's expression: "This is a good thing for our school and factory, and it is also a good thing that benefits the country and the people. What reasons do I have to object?

"

"That's great!" Song Yuanchao finally felt relieved. With Principal Zhou's words, the anxiety he had felt before coming was gone in an instant.

Principal Zhou waved his hand, looked at Song Yuanchao and said, "I asked you to come here for two things. The first thing is to tell you the school's opinion on this matter. In addition, I am also curious about how you figured this out."

As he said that, Principal Zhou looked at Song Yuanchao, as if he wanted to find the answer in him. Song Yuanchao hesitated for a moment and said immediately: "Actually, I was just thinking about this, mainly because I was reviewing materials for the college entrance examination this time.

I feel that since there are so many students in need of these things, we can definitely use our own advantages to serve them.”

"As you know, the school-run factory has always been producing labor protection supplies, but orders for labor protection supplies have been on a downward trend since this month. Originally, the master thought it was due to the normal seasonality of the factory, but I went there specially to deliver the goods some time ago.

After taking a look, I realized that this was not the problem."

"What's the reason?" Principal Zhou asked with interest.

"The reason why other companies compete with similar products." Song Yuanchao said calmly. He gave a detailed account of what he saw when he was delivering the goods, especially when he mentioned that the other factory already had other suppliers of labor protection supplies in the same industry, and they

Their products are much better than the current factory products in terms of style, color, and practicality, and there is not much difference in price between the two. In addition, the other party has opened up the supply and sales channels using the factory. If this continues

It will greatly affect the future orders of the school-run factory.

While listening, Principal Zhou frowned slightly, and with a serious expression he asked, "Have you mentioned this matter to Lao Ma?"

"Of course, how else would my master think about doing this?" Song Yuanchao replied. In fact, what he said was somewhat untrue. Director Ma did not pay too much attention to the competition of labor protection supplies. In his opinion, this is a national enterprise.

Even if the fixed production tasks of their factories are affected, the impact will be limited. The country cannot take it lightly. They are all units of the country and must keep a bowl of water equal.

Perhaps it is precisely because of his idea that the school-run factory, which was originally relatively popular, will cease to exist next year. It will not be able to survive for long and will no longer be able to support it, thus ending its history.

In the early days of reform and opening up, business leaders like Factory Manager Ma were not uncommon. In some respects, he had no problem with his ability to manage the factory and his sense of responsibility. However, due to the huge changes brought about by the tide of the times, the entire

The social structure, including the market, has begun to undergo earth-shaking changes.

The decades of experience and deep-rooted ideas that their generation was proud of suddenly failed to keep up with the great changes of the times, leading to a series of irreversible consequences. This is an extremely painful lesson.

Director Ma is Song Yuanchao's master. As an apprentice, naturally he cannot undermine his master. It is impossible for Song Yuanchao to criticize Director Ma in front of Principal Zhou.

Song Yuanchao once persuaded Director Ma to change the production structure of the school-run factory, but Director Ma rejected it. But this time he saved the country through the opportunity curve of producing college entrance examination review materials, leading Director Ma's thinking to another path. Only then did he

With the current situation happening.

"It seems that Lao Ma also has a sense of crisis. After all, he is an old revolutionary comrade. This acumen is good." Principal Zhou nodded happily after hearing Song Yuanchao's explanation.

"Principal, since you think this is feasible, if our school, including the factory, can take this opportunity to transform, we can find another way. Even if there are fewer orders for labor protection supplies in the future, at least the factory does not need to pay for it.

This is a shame, but the school can also take this opportunity to gain both fame and fortune, what do you think?"

"Hahaha, you're such a good guy, it sounds pretty good."

Principal Zhou suddenly burst out laughing, reaching out and nodding at Song Yuanchao. Song Yuanchao also laughed sheepishly.
