"Okay, since Director Zhang has spoken, and Xiao Zhou is so outstanding, it makes no sense that the refinery should be handed over to Xiao Zhou... The city and I are very relieved."
Jiao Huaxian came and pushed the boat along.
The refinery was originally a temporary project, and the other party was responsible for all investments. The city mainly invested in land, and it was natural to give up the management rights.
Hearing this, Zhou Hengming immediately picked up his glass and said, "Thank you, leader. I'll do it first as a courtesy. You can do whatever you want."
"Drink less, don't waste this table of delicious food."
Jiao Huaxian gave timely advice.
After drinking for three rounds, Zhang Hao took the initiative and said:
"Leader, you just said that you want to ask my opinion on something, but what is it?"
"I almost forgot." Jiao Huaxian patted his forehead and then explained: "The thing is like this. Several brother cities next door heard that we are opening up the purchase of firewood and want to get a share of the pie."
"What do you mean? They want to compete with us for supply?" Zhang Hao frowned.
"It's not about robbing the supply of goods. In fact, it's quite the opposite. They want to sell the wood to us."
Jiao Huaxian quickly corrected him.
Zhang Hao immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "This is a good thing, just agree to it."
"It would be nice if it were that simple. To tell you the truth, I want to keep these two tens of billions in the city. This will at least solve the employment problem of tens of thousands of people."
Jiao Huaxian’s words are sincere and sincere.
"Leader, isn't it? Our Minde is about to usher in great development. A slight unemployment rate is not a problem at all. Don't worry about it."
Jiao Huaxian shook his head: "It's winter now, and if we want to hire workers on a large scale, we have to wait until next summer.
I think this way, the city can just take advantage of this window period to organize people to go to the mountains to cut firewood, which is equivalent to providing work for relief, and temporarily responding to emergencies."
"I still don't think it's appropriate. After all, the current weather conditions are so bad that ordinary people can't go up the mountain to cut firewood. It's too dangerous and requires a professional team.
Rather than letting everyone take risks up the mountain, it is better to buy more firewood from outside, which can also speed up the hoarding. Why not?"
Zhang Hao persuaded patiently.
"This..."
Jiao Huaxian hesitated.
"Leader, let me say something unlucky. If an accident does happen, who will bear the responsibility?"
Zhang Hao reminded softly.
Zhou Hengming helped persuade: "Leader, Director Zhang is right. The temperature is so low now and the mountains are dark, so accidents are very easy to happen."
"Well, what you both said makes sense, so I'll think about it later."
Jiao Huaxian nodded solemnly.
Others can be ignored, but the casualties must be taken seriously. The mainland is not overseas, and overseas is in chaos. Sometimes a human life is not even as important as a piece of bread.
In contrast, the land beneath their feet is still in a "greenhouse" where human life is at stake.
……
After a day and night of sailing, the passenger ship finally arrived in Zhucheng.
As for Zhou Hengming, he disembarked at Shenzhen Port.
An hour later, the group checked into a high-end hotel near the Federal Executive Yuan for convenience. The capital is not a small city like Minde. Hotels can be found everywhere, and the conditions are not bad.
In the guest room, Zhang Hao hugged Yang Huaqing and asked:
"Honey, are you going back to Huicheng now, or are you staying with me?"
"When will it end here?"
"I don't know either." Zhang Hao shook his head, "If it's fast... it will take a week, if it's slow... it will probably take more than half a month. It's possible."
"Forget it, I'd better go home!"
When Yang Huaqing heard that she would have to wait another week, she immediately backed down. She had been out for more than half a month, and she really couldn't stay any longer. She had reached her limit, both physically and mentally.
Zhang Hao didn't force himself, and nodded immediately: "Okay, have a rest tonight, and I'll ask Captain Fang and the others to take you home early tomorrow morning."
"No need to go to such trouble, I'm not a child, I can just charter a car back."
Yang Huaqing refused directly.
"No, the current public security is not very good. How can I rest assured that you are a single woman? Don't be willful, it's better to be careful."
Zhang Hao shook his head.
"Okay, I'll just listen to you."
Yang Huaqing did not insist anymore.
Early the next morning, Zhang Hao personally put Yang Huaqing in the car, and then told Captain Fang to drive slower.
In the next few days, Jiao Huaxian has been busy making connections everywhere. The federal government strongly encourages local self-reliance and soon gave a series of preferential policies.
On the contrary, the refinery had some troubles and encountered a lot of troubles.
Zhang Hao, on the other hand, plunged into Dawning New Energy. On the one hand, he urged Professor Chen Benrong to return quickly. Europa was in danger and was not a place to stay for a long time;
On the other hand, he was also preparing for cooperation between the two companies. At his request, Sugon quickly established a graphene battery research and development team.
"Controllable nuclear fusion" itself has related issues in energy storage, so it does not count as seeking power for personal gain.
The weekend soon came, and just as Zhang Hao was about to take time to return to Huicheng, Mayor Jiao called him over with a phone call. It was finally his turn to contribute.
"Leader, what do you need me to do?"
"I just made an appointment with Minister Yin from the Ministry of Energy to have dinner with me. You can come with me later."
Jiao Huaxian replied with a smile.
"Minister Yin?" Zhang Hao's eyes widened instantly, "Isn't it just a small oil refinery, and you actually asked this big boss to come forward in person?"
"The refinery is just an introduction. If what I expected is correct, Minister Yin should have other plans."
"What does he want to do?"
"I don't know the specific reason, but it should be related to the Haixi Industrial Zone. In addition, Minister Yin asked you to come with me by name."
"Me?" Zhang Hao pointed at himself and asked with confusion on his face: "Why did you ask me to come over? Apart from the oil refinery, I don't have any energy-related business."
"Why not? Whether it is Minde Times or Shuguang New Energy, which one is not related to energy?"
Jiao Huaxian quickly reminded.
Zhang Hao smiled and said: "It shouldn't be. The technical strength of Minde's era is not good, so it's better to look for BYD. As for Sugon New Energy, it's even more unreliable. It's still gone."
"Don't make random guesses. You'll know when you go there."
Jiao Huaxian waved his hand.
"Leader, tonight won't be the Hongmen Banquet, right?"
Zhang Hao couldn't help but feel nervous.
If it wasn't for technology, it was for money. If I had known that, I shouldn't have gotten involved in this matter.
"What? Are you scared?"
"I'm not afraid, I really have no money." Zhang Hao spread his hands and smiled bitterly: "You must also know that most of the money I invested in Minde Era was borrowed, and the annual interest rate was nearly 20 points.
."
"So cheap? Where did you borrow the money?"
Jiao Huaxian immediately shifted his attention.
"Well, I borrowed it from CompuTong. Because we are from the same hometown, the interest rate is relatively low."
Zhang Hao didn’t hide anything.
Hearing this, Jiao Huaxian couldn't help but sigh: "Mr. Li is really so kind and righteous. When I return to Minde, I will definitely pay him a visit."
】
"Leader, Mr. Li has no money."
Zhang Hao quickly reminded.
"What's going on?" Jiao Huaxian frowned.
"Our Tongxin Association has invested in so many projects, almost all of which were financed through Mr. Li. As far as I know, Computime's wealth has almost been wiped out."
"I see, what a pity!"
ps: On the last day of the month, remember to vote!
