() In mid-April, it started to get hot in the mountains. Qiu Youpeng walked out of the train station carrying a lot of luggage, and suddenly he was sweating like rain.
Qiu Youpeng is from Qiansheng area, oh, now he is from Qiansheng City. After graduating from Xichuan International Studies University, he was lucky enough to be assigned to work in Guangyang City, a coastal city. In the past, when he went home for the New Year, he would transfer trains in Wan County to save time.
It has been five or six years since I have been to Chongshan, a city I became familiar with when I was a student.
Not to mention Shennan City in the Special Zone, which is different every day, Guangyang City, where I work and live, also changes every month, but Zhongshan is actually similar to what I remembered a few years ago.
The development is really unsatisfactory!
Qiu Youpeng sighed and walked outside. Just as he was deciding whether to call a taxi or take the bus, he was stunned when he walked out of the door.
Opposite me, a young man in his twenties, wearing a suit and leather shoes, all wet with sweat, held up a sign with the three words written on it exactly the same as his own name.
The exit of the station was already very crowded. Qiu Youpeng was stunned for a moment and was immediately pushed hard by the crowd of people behind him. He almost stumbled to the ground while carrying a lot of luggage.
Qiu Youpeng couldn't help but stumbled towards the young man holding the sign, but he barely stopped until he was grabbed by the opponent.
"Thanks."
Qiu Youpeng stood firm, suppressed the strangeness in his heart, smiled and said thanks.
"You're welcome, brother, are you taking the Guangyang City bus?"
The young man looked indifferent, waved his hand and asked casually, looking around the station.
"Yeah, are you looking for someone?"
Qiu Youpeng stood still and asked. At this time, he didn't want to leave just like that. He recognized the other party by his voice and took advantage of the situation to take a look.
The young man in front of me has a square face, a bold smile, and a strong body. However, he is wearing a suit and leather shoes that don't really fit him well. He also looks awkward in his clothes and stretches his shoulders from time to time.
"That's right, why haven't you come out yet? Didn't you see my sign?"
The young man smiled and continued to wave his sign anxiously to look at the increasingly sparse crowd.
"My name is Qiu Youpeng, are you that Wei Zhihao?"
Qiu Youpeng had no choice but to draw the other person's attention directly. Seeing the young man looking at him in surprise, a smile appeared on his face for some reason.
I've already declined, why don't I go and take a look?
Qiu Youpeng is thirty-one years old this year. He has been working at the Guangdong Branch of the State-owned Metal Import and Export Company for seven or eight years. He is in a career bottleneck period. Some colleagues have been promoted to become leaders, while others have been working hard.
It also means to move.
At the beginning of this year, Qiu Youpeng returned to his hometown of Qiansheng City to celebrate the New Year. He also complained to some relatives at the dinner table. Unexpectedly, his cousin-in-law called last month and said that his neighbor had a girl who was now working as a female employee in Nanlong County, below Qiansheng City.
Officer, the other party knew the boss of a rural enterprise. The boss had set up a brown fused alumina factory and wanted to find a foreign trade professional to be responsible for export. He asked him if he was interested.
Nanlong County also has bauxite, and are there any companies exporting brown corundum?
Qiu Youpeng didn't believe it and was not interested at all. After all, people go to higher places. He was used to the prosperous life in Guangyang City. Even Zhongshan felt that it was nothing more than this. How could he go to Nanlong, a poor and remote country that was not as prosperous as a thousand people?
Work?
Last weekend, Qiu Youpeng made rude remarks after drinking, which angered a former colleague and current boss. The other party got angry and asked him to take a break. Then he went home and quarreled with his wife over buying a car. In anger, he simply went home alone to relax.
Qiu Youpeng didn't expect that he just called back to his hometown to say something. He received a long-distance call that night. Mr. Wei Zhihao, the young-voiced Mr. Wei from Jinquan Gangyu Company called him. He heard that he was planning to come back and sincerely invited him to come and have a look first.
He also said he would buy him a round-trip air ticket.
They were so polite. Qiu Youpeng naturally chatted on the phone for a few words even though he didn't want to go. He also said that he had bought a train ticket. He originally wanted to delay the attack, but if he couldn't go over and have a look, he could find some excuse to decline. However, Wei Zhihao was very polite on the phone.
Excitedly said he would drive to pick her up.
Qiu Youpeng said it was not necessary at that time, but he did not expect Wei Zhihao to actually come, and he still felt a little touched in his heart.
"I just said, oh, I didn't recognize Mr. Qiu's voice. I'm so sorry."
When Wei Zhihao found out that the person he was picking up was right in front of him, he felt both happy and embarrassed, and he quickly threw the sign away in embarrassment.
"Why are you here? I told you I didn't need to pick you up."
Qiu Youpeng smiled, looking at this young man who couldn't look like a boss except for his suit, he just felt unreliable.
"Come on, give me your luggage and we'll talk outside."
After all, Wei Zhihao has been in the medicine business for several years and has a good way of judging people. He saw Qiu Youpeng's smile with some contempt, but he was annoyed but did not show it. He just stepped forward to pick up the luggage enthusiastically.
Lu Yang said that the company needed high-level talents. This Mr. Qiu was found through the help of Mayor Lu. He was said to be a professional in metal export. Wei Zhihao did not dare to be rude. Anyway, he had served several people, so he just tolerated it and passed it.
.
Qiu Youpeng couldn't push him through, and he had a lot of luggage. He followed Wei Zhihao to the parking lot outside with a few polite words, and stood in shock in front of a brand new Beidu Cherokee.
"Mr. Qiu, get in the car. It's air-conditioned inside. Let's go eat first and talk while we eat."
Seeing Qiu Youpeng stunned, Wei Zhihao put his luggage away and picked it up again.
Qiu Youpeng got into the car and turned on the air conditioner, but he was still a little dizzy. These mine bosses are really nouveau riche, and they are not willing to buy a car worth more than 200,000 yuan. He also wanted to buy a Changping Alto worth more than 70,000 yuan for transportation, but his wife always disagreed, saying
It’s not easy to save so much money after working for so many years.
Isn't it said that Jinquan Corundum Company was established not long ago? It just made some money and it seems like it won't last in the long run.
Qiu Youpeng blew the air-conditioner and couldn't help but curse in his heart. He carefully inquired about the background of Jinquan Company on the phone. Wei Zhihao was also very frank, saying that he built a factory with an annual output of more than 3,000 tons last year and it was very profitable, and he was planning to build a 10,000-ton factory.
For a level-one factory, funding has not yet been fully secured.
Wei Zhihao took Qiu Youpeng to Lao Wu's land first and said hello. As a landowner, Wei Zhiwu naturally wanted to treat him.
Qiu Youpeng looked at Wei Zhiwu, who was younger and hairless, but he drove a Santana and looked like a boss. He was even more surprised that the Wei family didn't seem to be simple.
After a hearty meal of Chongshan hotpot, Qiu Youpeng drank happily and started talking more. When he heard Wei Zhiwu talking enthusiastically about his fortune history in more than half a year, from nothing to now earning hundreds of thousands a year, he could only be dumbfounded.
I just feel like my ten years of hard work have been in vain.
After taking a rest after dinner, Wei Zhihao drove Beidu Cherokee and asked Qiu Youpeng how to get there.
There are two provincial roads from Chongshan to Qiansheng, the one from the north is direct, and the one from the south passes through Nanlong. Qiu Youpeng was embarrassed to take the road like this, so he had to go and take a look first.
We entered Nanlong County after dark. Although it was only a few dozen kilometers away from Qiansheng City, it was still the first time for Qiu Youpeng to come here. He couldn't see anything at night. Wei Zhihao asked him what he meant and drove directly to Yaoquan.
.
Construction of the cement road to Yaoquan Town had already begun. It wasn't that far along the way. However, within 20 minutes, the Beidu Cherokee stopped outside a hotel. It couldn't be seen clearly in the night, but the gurgling creek gave people a sense of tranquility.
"Mr. Qiu, this Jinxiangshan Hotel was the guest house of the former Red Shipyard. It has a nice hot spring. After dinner, let's take a dip together and have a good chat."
Wei Zhihao led Qiu Youpeng inside and introduced him to Yourong Yan.
Now the tourism company run by Yaoquan Town has been transferred to Nanlong City, which is jointly managed by the Municipal Tourism Bureau. However, the Jinxiangshan Hotel and the Red Shipyard Auditorium were previously contracted and managed by Wei Zhiwen.
Qiu Youpeng has seen a lot and is not too fond of this so-called state-owned guesthouse-style hotel. However, the hot spring suite inside is unexpectedly unique.
Wait for him. If he is willing to come to the company in the future, this room will be reserved for him.
The two of them had a simple meal. The cooking skills were average, but the ingredients in the mountains were indeed fresh.
After eating, the two of them went to the hot springs together. Of course, the Chongshan side was not as open as the coastal area. The person who served the hot springs was a rural aunt in her thirties.
Qiu Youpeng was henpecked, but he didn't take it seriously. He just happened to have a serious chat with Wei Zhihao, and was even more shocked to learn that the other person had only been the general manager for a few months.
The next day, Qiu Youpeng, accompanied by Wei Zhihao, walked out of the Jinxiangshan Hotel. What he saw was that many workers were renovating a nearby red brick building. The small part that was completed looked very unique.
Seeing that Qiu Youpeng was a little interested, Wei Zhihao happily introduced that the decoration was done by his relative's company, and even took out the renderings from the document bag as a gift.
After looking at it, Qiu Youpeng understood that this was a typical American style. He didn't expect that Chongshan also had this kind of decoration.
The two then went to the Yaoquan Industrial Park in the factory area. There were quite a few companies inside. Although the scale was small, one factory could accommodate up to a dozen workshops.
Zhao Jiandong, the deputy mayor of Yaoquan Town, who was inspecting the work in the industrial park, and Wei Zhihao were obviously very familiar with each other. They said hello and the three of them went to the busy Yaoquan Brown Corundum Factory. Acting Factory Manager Liu was a local and had worked in the Red Shipyard for ten years.
Temporary workers.
After listening to Director Liu's enthusiastic introduction, Qiu Youpeng found that the management level of this township enterprise, which was mostly manual work, was not low.
"The key to management is people. Township enterprises like ours have a low starting point, but that is no excuse to lower their management level. As long as management requirements are directly linked to income and managers lead by example, employees will naturally be motivated to actively participate in management."
Qiu Youpeng was not a technical person, so he asked curiously, and was in awe when he received Wei Zhihao's answer.
The annual output is only 3,000 tons. It is not easy for the boss to have this awareness.
Later, Qiu Youpeng discovered a strange phenomenon. Among the products, brown corundum blocks and brown corundum sand, the parts that seemed to be of obviously better quality actually had special packaging, which was clearly different from the ordinary goods pulled by trucks.
"Oh, these are for export, so the packaging must be better, otherwise foreign businessmen will not be satisfied and the price will not be high."
Wei Zhihao's casual explanation surprised Qiu Youpeng even more. It turned out that most of the products of this small factory had already been exported through Xiangjiang, and he was asked to open up the direct export market.
During lunch at a restaurant in Yaoquan Town, Qiu Youpeng discovered that this restaurant, which was said to have been renovated from the former library of the Red Shipyard, was run by Wei Zhihao Nainai. He became more and more aware that the Wei family in Yaoquan was very powerful.
In the afternoon, we continued to see new projects. Next to the newly paved cement road from Yaoquan Town to the provincial road, a large piece of land on the waterline of Longquan River has been leveled. Many workers are working in full swing inside, and the foundations of several buildings have also been repaired.
stand up.
Qiu Youpeng's thoughts were a little wavered at this time. He asked more and more carefully. Wei Zhihao also felt this change and introduced more details in high spirits.
The biggest problem of Jinquan Corundum Company at present is the capital bottleneck, so the company's development goal in the next few years is 1357, divided into four phases of construction, and strives to complete 10,000 tons, 30,000 tons, 50,000 tons, and 70,000 tons within four years.
The production expansion goal is to have a production capacity of 160,000 tons by then and become the world's largest corundum producer.
Of course, funding is always the biggest problem for private enterprises, so the six thousand ton project is currently under construction. With the support of Nanlong City Government, we have contacted the third-tier enterprises that are about to relocate and plan to purchase their second-hand 2,500 kV
Electric furnace, a new mechanized production line with an annual output of 16#-120# brown corundum sand of 7,000 tons, and a bauxite clinker roasting cellar with an annual output of 10,000 tons.
In terms of civil construction, it is necessary to pre-build a site for the second phase of the 30,000-ton project, which requires an investment of 5 million, plus 2 million for equipment, manpower, etc., for a total investment of 7 million.
As for the old Yaoquan factory, it is different from the original plan. It has been planned to be merged into Jinquan Corundum Company, and it is planned to move there and merge it into a 10,000-ton project in six months.
"Mr. Qiu, you don't need to worry too much about the funds. All our shareholders have raised two million, and another two million will arrive in May. We have received the full support of Nanlong City Government and are applying for four million from the bank.
Loans and working capital are no problem.”
Wei Zhihao tried his best to introduce to Qiu Youpeng confidently. Although he was different from the second, third, and fifth eldest son, he told Lu Yang that he was not very confident that he could get two million by the end of May. Most of the current investments were made by the newly joined shareholders.
expenses, but this situation cannot last long.
Qiu Youpeng listened without comment. He also planned to meet with the leaders of Nanlong County. Although the county magistrate was not easy to meet, the director of the county government office who was said to fully support the project should be fine.
When Wei Zhihao heard that Qiu Youpeng wanted to meet Lu Weiyang, he agreed wholeheartedly and took him back to the Jinxiangshan Hotel to find Wei Zhiwen. He asked the other party to make a call first, and then they rushed to Nanlong City together.
