Just like my classmate, Chen Taizhong happily hung up the phone, turned on the phone and bumped into his mother, who had been listening for a long time.
"It's a girl?" The old lady was very happy, "Haha, girlfriend?"
Girlfriend...well, I don't know what to do now. Chen Taizhong was speechless when he was asked, "What, Mom, I'm hungry, hurry up and cook."
His good mood was completely wiped out by this question. Sitting on the sofa dully, he began to wonder: Who is my girlfriend?
Ren Jiao, she must be counted as my girlfriend; Yang Qianqian, she seems to have a good impression of me, otherwise she wouldn't be able to help me get a house like this, right?
But, Wu Yan... what should Secretary Wu do? I made a promise this afternoon. If Ya really admits his death, we can't say anything. This is really... a headache.
Thinking of this, he complained a little bit about Yang Qianqian: Qianqian, couldn't you have told me this news in advance? If you had told me for a long time, you wouldn't have done such a dirty thing!
After much deliberation, he didn't think anything of it, so he simply thought, forget it, let's just do whatever it takes to love them. After all, they both have a life span of several decades, so if they just bite their teeth and fight, won't it just be over?
Once he figured out this problem, he didn't even hold any grudges against Lu Qiang. Well, boss Lu suffered an unreasonable disaster, and it was not Ya's fault in the first place.
It's all the white tiger's fault!
Lu Qiang really had something to do with Chen Taizhong. Early the next morning, he blocked Secretary Chen at the door of the street office, "Ha, Taizhong, are you going out this early in the morning?"
"Well, I'm coming back soon. I have a lot of things to do here, and I have to report to the district every day." Chen Taizhong nodded and smiled, "Haha, Lao Lu, what are you looking for me for?"
What is it? What Lu Qiang encountered is the most difficult problem to deal with these days. It requires money!
Let's put it this way, after the Verdun Cement Plant was put into operation, tests confirmed that the 32 and 425 cement it produced were superior products of the same grade. With the grade certificate in hand, Boss Lu started public relations.
However, the Verdun Cement Plant is too new. Although Lu Qiang has consciously started publicizing it since the day it was built, it will take a while for new products to be recognized by people in the industry.
Therefore, the sales of cement from other countries were not very good at the beginning.
On the other hand, some private builders and contracting teams wanted to buy Verdun cement, but they kept the price very low. They were simply buying inferior cement from small cement factories, which was unacceptable to Lu Qiang.
He is accustomed to buying and selling, so he naturally knows that once the price drops and wants to rise again, it is basically a dream. He has to do it thousands of times. Trading in this bad market cannot be done!
As a result, the Verdun Cement Plant was in trouble. Lu Qiang's own funds were not enough to support him to build such a large site independently. Like most people who got rich first, he built the plant with loans.
He works in a factory and can't sell his goods. Not to mention repaying the loan, he can't bear the interest alone!
Fortunately, at this critical moment, someone introduced him to a distinguished person, Yang Bin, member of the Standing Committee of the Tiannan Provincial Committee and brother-in-law of Fan Xiaojun, deputy governor of Tiannan Province!
Yang Bin is in his thirties, and he speaks and acts very neatly. He does not hide his thoughts at all, "Selling cement? This is not a big deal. Well, how much can you give me?"
Lu Qiang cautiously proposed that he could consider commission based on sales. Who would have thought that Yang Bin wouldn't listen at all, "What's the big deal? Commission? Let's do this. Give me 100,000 first, and I will give you a long-term supply.
Wherever it works, it will work, but if it doesn’t work, it will be pulled down.”
After Lu Qiang carefully checked and confirmed that Yang Bin was indeed Fan Xiaojun's brother-in-law, he happily sold out 100,000 in cash, and Yang Bin was unequivocal and really found his next home, the Phoenix City Construction Committee!
The Verdun cement factory is finally back to life!
Unfortunately, things were not as simple as Lu Qiang imagined. Yes, the Urban Construction Committee recommended his cement to the municipal engineering company, and the dosage was not small. However, another grim reality was immediately faced by Lu Qiang.
, the municipal engineering company did not settle the payment on time.
As a result, Lu Qiang felt the financial pressure. However, supplying goods to the municipal engineering company was something that ordinary manufacturers would never dare to think about. He did not dare to attack the municipal engineering company, so he had no choice but to try every means to raise funds.
To alleviate the pressure on the capital supply chain.
In fact, he later approached Yang Bin again, hoping that Yang Bin could come forward and let the municipal engineering company settle some payments. However, this request was coldly rejected by Yang Bin, "I only promised to help you find a home.
It’s done, don’t come to me about the payment collection!”
Ban's heart was open, knowing that it wasn't that he couldn't help, but that he had to calculate the money every time. Money was needed for sales, and the payment naturally needed money. "Brother Yang, how much do you need?
Just say it, we brothers, what can't we say?"
Yang Bin saw that he was well-behaved and well-behaved, so he didn't hide it, "I'll pay 30% of the money I want back, and I'll leave. You can tell me if it's possible."
This request is really unacceptable to Lu Qiang. I am engaged in serious business. Do you think I am involved in arms smuggling or drug trafficking? How can there be such a huge profit?
After a few months of going back and forth like this, Lu Qiang couldn't hold on any longer, and he was running low on funds. Unfortunately, the cement market was booming at the moment, so he stopped the expansion project and couldn't produce normally.
Therefore, he came to Chen Taizhong because this year the country will control the soft landing of economic development and it will be difficult to get loans. He wanted Secretary Chen to help find a way.
"Looking for a loan from me?" Chen Taizhong was really dumbfounded this time, Lao Lu, are you okay? Why, do I look like the bank president? "This matter, Lao Lu, I still can't help."
"The funds for the activity... are all on me," Lu Qiang didn't think so. A capable person can do anything. Taizhong has some helpers in the officialdom. He knows this. As long as he has the right, a small matter like a loan can be considered a trivial matter.
What the hell? It’s not like I’m not going to pay it back!
He glanced around and explained to Chen Taizhong in a low voice, "Eight million, or four million. I have a mortgage. Well, I will give you 10% to work for you!"
Do you really think money is everything? Chen Taizhong was a little unhappy. He squinted at Lu Qiang, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, "Old Lu, you can't even borrow the money in the bank.
What’s the use of me?”
Are you unwilling to take action? Lu Qiang sighed, "Oh, you are so loyal. I recruited about thirty people in the village of Donglinshui. This was all for your sake. God has proven that you are gone.
What I promised you was unequivocal, and..."
"Donglinshui?" Chen Taizhong frowned and repeated it. This name had gradually faded away in his mind, but once it was mentioned, an inexplicable emotion surged up.
Everyone has a little bit of nostalgia in their hearts, and he also has a little bit of it, but now his thinking is gradually approaching that of ordinary people. This is where he started, and there are many kind-hearted villagers.
Thinking that before he left, more than a hundred villagers walked to the countryside with him, Chen Taizhong actually felt a feeling of "sadness" in his heart. This must be said to be a miracle.
"You mean, if I don't help you, they will lose their jobs, right?" His expression was a bit gloomy and ferocious. Of course, some people may think it is coldness.
Lu Qiang was startled by his look, and immediately waved his hands, "Taizhong, what are you talking about? I'm just telling you that I, Mr. Lu, have done my best to be affectionate and righteous, and I don't want to play tricks with you."
Trick, as for those villagers... As long as I, Lao Lu, have a bite to eat, of course they have a bite to eat!"
When he said this, cold sweat broke out on his back. To be honest, he was under financial pressure, and the current production tasks were not full. He really wanted to fire some people. The first ones to bear the brunt were naturally the villagers, technical and management backbones.
But it must be kept.
But with Chen Taizhong's expression now, how could he dare to admit that he had such thoughts?
You are affectionate and righteous... Well, you are saying that I am heartless? Chen Taizhong sighed, it was about the villagers who were once under his jurisdiction, and he really couldn't bear to refuse Lu Qiang's request again. Isn't it just a loan? No
Will it be difficult?
However, he still had to ask some questions clearly, "Lao Lu, who did you listen to to say that I can get a loan?"
Is there any need to ask? I saw that you and Wu Yan are very affectionate. Lu Qiang smiled bitterly. There is no need to ask the master behind you. As long as Secretary Wu is willing to help, a few million doesn't matter.
Of course, you still have to talk in a methodical way, "I have a secured loan, Taizhong. It wouldn't be a problem in normal times. Now the country is tightening money, and banks only lend to state-owned enterprises, so if I want a loan, I have to get it."
Someone from the government should come forward."
As Lu Qiang explained this, he carefully observed Chen Taizhong's expression. He believed that as long as he emphasized the fact that "there is a mortgage", which meant that Chen Taizhong would not make mistakes, this guy would probably help.
However, he was also a little bit strange in his heart. When did Chen Taizhong change his temper? Speaking of the villagers, they were willing to help without paying any money. This is not like a qualified national cadre, at least in this era, it is rare!
