There are factory shops with good quality and low price here.
There are a variety of specialty shops.
As well as unique affordable food.
All these made him reluctant to leave.
Even if it rains, it can't extinguish his enthusiasm for shopping.
Gong Wenbo kept wandering around the service area.
You can always find "treasures" of high quality and low price in an inconspicuous corner.
You must know that the common goods here are hot commodities at their place.
Gong Wenbo waved his banknotes and bought a lot of things.
This kind of pleasure of "Taobao" made him happy.
Of course, what attracts Gong Wenbo the most is the free and open dock warehouse in the service area!
He has already asked clearly.
Regardless of whether the goods are transported by shipping, they are transferred to Dongfeng Terminal for land transportation.
Goods that are transported by land are transferred to shipping here.
As long as you have a letter of introduction from a formal unit, you can use the dock and warehouse for free.
And the goods can be stored in the warehouse for up to half a month.
If the stipulated time is exceeded, you only need to pay the detention fee.
And just outside the warehouse, there is a spacious provincial road.
Even trucks can drive directly into the warehouse.
This is so convenient.
Gong Wenbo made a calculation in his mind.
The warehouse rental fee saved here is enough for him and the crew to have a meal.
You can save this money in one go.
So run a few more times.
It is also a considerable expense.
He made the decision immediately.
Decided to use Dongfeng Wharf as a transfer station and supply station for future shipping.
Satisfied, Gong Wenbo returned to the cargo ship with large and small bags and said to everyone:
"We are not leaving today. We will leave tomorrow. I will invite everyone out for dinner in the evening. You will not come back until you are drunk."
Thunderous applause suddenly erupted on the cabin.
The crew immediately cheered.
Although they didn't stay long, they already fell in love with this place.
.......
Actually.
Gong Wenbo is not the only one who knows how to settle accounts.
Others have the same idea.
And after these people left and spread the news about Dongfeng Pier.
More people know about such a magical place.
Some people come here because of its reputation.
Some people accidentally read the information in newspapers and came to investigate on the spot.
But without exception.
They were all planted by Dongfeng Pier.
And share it with friends around you.
One pass to ten.
From ten to hundred.
Just like that, Dongfeng Pier became completely popular.
There are many ships coming and going every day.
And the merchants who followed the business in the service area made a lot of money one by one.
The brick kiln factory has opened ten stores in the service area.
The performance of the store is extremely good.
Fang Yangqian comes over every day to see.
Look at the account books.
I can’t even close my mouth.
Now he truly knows.
What does it mean to carry money in a sack?
It smells so good.
It seems that the brick kiln factory really changed its fortunes after working with Cao Weidong.
Employees’ wages have been paid as normal.
All reimbursements in arrears have been approved.
Even extra chicken legs are added to the employees’ meals.
Fang Yangqian was even thinking about whether to be acquired by Cao Weidong.
.......
The same scene also appears in other stores.
After all, the passenger flow is here.
And the people who come to visit the service area at this time are all year-round transportation workers.
This is one of the eight members that everyone respects.
Pockets are solid.
I really want to encounter something good.
It’s also a pleasure to consume.
So each businessman made crazy money.
Due to the explosion at Dongfeng Terminal, cargo throughput increased exponentially. The county even established a special handling company and introduced many transportation vehicles and tools to better serve Dongfeng Terminal.
Everything is developing prosperously.
......
At the celebration banquet.
County Magistrate Ji's face glowed brightly and he raised his glass to toast Cao Weidong.
"Xiao Cao, come here, let me toast you again."
For County Magistrate Ji and Secretary Sun, Dongfeng Terminal's performance is considered a success.
These are all solid political achievements.
Promotion is definitely a sure thing.
County Magistrate Ji even received advance notice from the secretary next to Secretary Huang.
Tell him that he will move up this year.
There is a high probability that he will be transferred to work in Sijiu City.
After County Magistrate Ji heard the news, he was so excited that he didn't sleep well all night.
This means that I have officially sprinted on the track of intermediate cadres.
Don’t think it’s just a small improvement.
But for most people, this is a chasm that is difficult to overcome in their lifetime.
My family knows their own affairs.
County Magistrate Ji originally thought that he had no hope of promotion in this life.
I was planning on traveling to the mainland.
As a result, I met Cao Weidong.
It only takes a few months.
It made my life undergo earth-shaking changes.
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt even more grateful.
Cao Weidong smiled.
Although County Magistrate Ji and others are very satisfied with Dongfeng Pier.
But for Cao Weidong, this is far from the bottleneck of Dongfeng Terminal.
Dongfeng Terminal still has great potential that can be tapped.
Now, Dongfeng Wharf is just one of many wharves in the north, and it is only slightly famous.
If you want to stand out from the many docks, you must think of some ways.
So Cao Weidong suggested that the whole county should use its efforts to lift the dock and increase the publicity of Dongfeng Wharf. If necessary, we can seek help from above.
Secretary Sun said with some embarrassment.
"Comrade Cao Weidong, this is a bit difficult to handle. We are not the only ones in the province to have docks. If we are publicized in newspapers, other fraternal units will definitely have objections."
Cao Weidong smiled.
"What can we do if they have objections? As long as we can do a good job at Dongfeng Terminal, the higher-ups will definitely be happy."
County Magistrate Ji hesitated for a moment and did not rush to refute, but said.
"Okay, if you have any ideas, you can tell me."
Cao Weidong smiled.
"Dongfeng Terminal started too late. If it wants to surpass the established terminals in a short period of time, in addition to its own strong hardware strength, it also needs soft power."
"So on the one hand, the county needs to continue to invest more to improve the Dongfeng Terminal."
County Magistrate Ji nodded.
This is also what they will do next.
Cao Weidong continued.
"On the other hand, the soft power I am talking about is to put a label on Dongfeng Terminal."
County Magistrate Ji asked curiously.
"What does tagging mean?"
Cao Weidong said.
"In fact, it is a starting point for people to quickly remember us. Once they think of related things, they will unconsciously think of Dongfeng Pier."
"We can completely take advantage of the service area and build it into a distribution center for goods from the north and south, and a large wholesale market. Whatever customers want to buy, they can find it here."
County Magistrate Ji's eyes lit up and he felt that Cao Weidong's imagination had no bottleneck at all.
It’s just one idea a day.
The trade distribution base involves buying and selling transactions and involves capitalists.
But as long as there is endorsement from the county.
And buyers can avoid this problem if they have a letter of introduction from a formal unit.
Cao Weidong then made a few more suggestions.
County Magistrate Ji agreed and arranged for the Propaganda Department to supervise the matter.
......
Cao Weidong put down his wine glass.
He just sat down and took a few bites of vegetables into his mouth.
Li Taian came over with a big face.
That big square face was filled with a flattering smile.
"Director, when will you come to our Longyin Steel Rolling Plant? We all miss you."
As we spent more time together, Cao Weidong got to know Li Tai'an better.
He pushed Li Tai'an away with disgust and said:
"If you have something to say, just tell me, don't make excuses."
"Hey, you still understand me, so I'll just tell you."
Li Taian said coyly.
"Can you take us with you to the wharf built by the county?"
He was jealous as he watched several factories in the county become rich overnight by doing business in the service area, leading all their employees to live a prosperous life.
There is something in my heart.
My poor brother became rich.
Such a subtle emotion.
Cao Weidong slapped his forehead.
He really ignored this little brother in the steel rolling mill.
Cao Weidong said with a smile.
"I thought you looked down upon this little money."
Li Taian feels miserable.
Don’t look at the high level of Longyin Steel Rolling Plant.
But that's just a shiny surface.
Still no money.
After all, most of the resources have been used to support the project of two bombs and one satellite.
They are just tightening their belts to get by.
Cao Weidong smiled.
"Okay, I still have a few empty shops on hand. You can try to open some hardware and parts shops."
"Or..."
Cao Weidong rolled his eyes and said in a wicked tone: "Maybe you can sell soda."
Li Taian said firmly.
"Impossible, we are a military industry company. Even if I am exhausted and poor, I will not do these things if I don't open this store."
Cao Weidong shrugged.
"You can try it, it's very profitable."
"Really?"
Li Taian said hesitantly.
As a result, a long-established soda pop emerged a hundred years after it was launched, becoming a glimmer of light in most people’s childhood...
.......
After Li Taian, other factory directors also came up to toast.
They had reaped the benefits and looked towards the unallocated shops in Cao Weidong's hands.
Cao Weidong decisively refused.
These empty shops are bargaining chips.
He plans to recruit some high-quality factories from other places to open stores in the service area.
If we only rely on Wan'an County's own enterprises, the service area is destined to decline.
It's Lei Sama's turn to toast.
He suddenly thought of something.
He stopped Lei Sanma and asked.
"Director Lei, does your furniture factory have sales in other places?"
Lei Sanma said proudly, "Of course, our furniture is very famous. We have spots in many department stores, and many people can't get it."
Cao Weidong asked with a smile.
"There is a department store in Mu County. Do you have a seat there?"
Lei Sanma said without thinking.
"Of course, the furniture from our furniture factory is the trump card of Mu County Department Store. Many local people go to the department store just to take a look at our products."
】
"Also, I have a very close relationship with Manager Zhao from the Mu County Department Store. It's a life-long friendship."
Cao Weidong smiled.
"That's great. I'm looking for a relationship with a department store. Can you help me make an introduction?"
