Taking advantage of this moment, Gao Bin asked Xu Banxia to set up two companies. They did not use the Pinellia in the original drama as the name. Gao Bin didn't like it. Together, they decided to call it "Second" Steel.
Why not number one? Nonsense. Calling number one can easily lead to trouble, but number two is much more low-key.
Moreover, if you can be second in an industry, it is already very good. There is no need to be first.
However, although it is called second and looks quite large, in fact the company only has two people, one is Xu Banxia and the other is Chen Yuyu, not even Zhao Kai, and Tong Xiaoqi counts as half.
For more than a year, Gao Bin and the others kept repeating the routine of selling scrap steel, using the same method as middlemen to make a profit on the price difference, and almost wrapped up the scrap from Binhai Steel Plant.
It was impossible for the factory to not notice such a big movement, but because the man behind the scenes was Gao Bin, the factory director and the celebrity in front of him, plus his own rather mysterious background, even those who were envious
If you are dissatisfied, you dare not say anything.
Of course, Gao Bin also knew that eating alone would easily lead to poisonous attacks, so he decisively pulled Sun into the Yangtze River.
"Director, I picked up a duffel bag on my way to work. Adhering to the traditional virtue of picking up gold, I decided to hand it in!"
In addition to some worthless rags, there was also a thick envelope containing 10,000 yuan in the bag. This was the third time in more than a year.
"Haha, Xiao Gao, you are such a good comrade who is willing to make money without hesitation. I think this year's advanced employee representative of our factory must be you."
Sun Changjiang was not polite at all and took out the envelope and put it in the drawer.
"No, there are too many workers in our factory who are more suitable for this title than me, so I won't compete with them."
"That's okay, but next month, the factory manager Lao Qiu will retire. The position of the office director cannot be left vacant. I thought about it and selected the right person. You are young and energetic. You have to take on this important responsibility.
Come down."
Gao Bin pretended to shirk:
"Is it suitable? I have only been in the factory for a year."
"I say it's appropriate as long as it's appropriate. As the factory director's secretary, it's reasonable to also serve as the office director. Okay, this matter is settled."
Gao Bin understands:
"Then I would like to thank the factory director first. By the way, the members of the Provincial Heavy Industry Committee are about to be re-determined. I heard from my mother that your name is on the list."
Sun Changjiang's eyes lit up and he stood up excitedly. A pair of pig's trotters grabbed Gao Bin's hand and wouldn't let go.
"Oh, Xiao Gao, thank the leader for me and tell her that I, Sun Changjiang, will definitely follow the leader's footsteps and will never fall behind. When I need to charge, just say hello and I will definitely move forward without looking back.
Rush!"
Hearing this slogan, Gao Bin couldn't stop complaining in his heart.
"No problem, I will definitely convey it to the factory director. Recently, Deputy Factory Director Wang has been complaining that this driver class is under his management.
I heard from comrades in the driver class that their recent tasks have been too stressful. Although we advocate hard work, we can't use people to death, right?"
Sun Changjiang's eyes rolled:
"In this way, I will mention it at next week's executive meeting. The driver class belongs to logistics, and logistics is the responsibility of the office. This function must be clearly divided."
Gao Bin got what he wanted, and Sun Changjiang was also very happy. After all, Gao Bin made this request for the sake of better "removing money without being ignorant".
Both of them were satisfied. The so-called exchange of interests was probably like this. If it were an outsider listening to it, they might not be able to understand it.
After leaving the factory director's office, Gao Bin returned to his big house. He shared an office with several leaders' secretaries and employees in the steel plant office.
"Xiao Gao is back?"
The speaker was Deputy Factory Director Wang’s secretary. Of course, he was not qualified to have a secretary, so he was euphemistically called a clerk.
"Hey, Brother Zhang, what are your orders?"
"I don't dare to give orders to you, a popular person in front of the factory director. I just want to ask you, does the factory director have any new instructions?"
Gao Bin laughed and said:
"Brother Zhang, do you want to change your banner?"
"Hey, don't say this nonsense."
The person named Zhang was frightened and looked around, but fortunately no one paid attention to them.
"Xiao Gao, you misunderstood, I just asked casually, you are busy with your business."
Watching the man surnamed Zhang leave, Gao Bin sneered in his heart. This bastard has been digging holes for him for more than a year. Naturally, Gao Bin will not spoil him.
Binhai Iron and Steel Plant is rotten to the core. Gao Bin naturally doesn't mind using more wool, just wait until he is full and drunk and pats his butt and leaves.
...
After work, Gao Bin rode his bicycle to the Second Steel Company.
It's said to be a company, but it's actually just a scrap collection station, but it's definitely much bigger than before.
Looking at tons of scrap steel piled up in the open space, Xu Banxia was calculating something with a calculator, while Gao Bin made no sound.
Knowing that Chen Yuyu came out of the house with a pot and found him:
"Eh? When did you come?"
He still remembers the hatred of those slaps back then, but on the surface everyone can still get by.
"Just arrived~"
Xu Banxia turned around after hearing the sound:
"Are you here?"
"Well, let's go into the room and talk. I have a situation to talk to you about."
Looking at Gao Bin's look, he knew something big was going on. Chen Yuyu didn't dare to neglect, put down the pot, and went into the house with Xu Banxia.
On weekdays, they both live here, firstly, it is convenient, and secondly, they can visit the place in case the scrap steel is stolen.
Chen Yuyu poured a glass of water for Gao Bin and couldn't help asking:
"What happened?"
"Next month I will be promoted to director of the factory office, and by then I will be in charge of the driver class."
Chen Yuyu's eyes lit up:
"Does this mean we can increase transportation volume?"
"You can think so, but there is a lot of scrap steel from Binhai Steel Plant."
"What do you mean?" Banxia seemed to have guessed Gao Bin's intention.
"I contacted people from several other Binhai steel plants, and they were all willing to cooperate. The trucks and drivers from Binhai Steel Plant can work part-time at night."
Xu Banxia is very smart, and there are some things that don’t need to be said clearly.
"I understand, I will plan the time and itinerary."
"Well, let's do it as soon as possible, we need more original funds."
Xu Banxia was stunned:
"What are you going to do?"
"When you have time recently, you can pay attention to the news in the north."
"North?"
"Yes~"
Gao Bin pointed at it, and Xu Banxia understood instantly:
"Old Maozi?"
"Well, don't make this matter public, save money first."
"I know."
Now that Gao Bin has a big plan, Xu Banxia is very willing to cooperate. Isn't that why he decided to hug Gao Bin in the first place?
...
Over the weekend, Gao Bin went back home to see his mother and the little wild cat.
Over the past year or so, the family atmosphere of the Gao family has improved a lot, and Gao Bin wasted no time on this.
Gao Yuejin and the Little Wild Cats were born to be incapable of dealing with each other, and they didn’t know what conflicts they had committed in their previous lives, so they disliked each other.
In order to let them sit down and have a meal in peace, Gao Bin almost used up all his energy in feeding.
Gao Yuejin usually lives in Luzhou, and only returns to the house in Binhai for two days on weekends. After all, his two children are here.
"Gao Bin, how are you doing at the factory?" Gao Yuejin asked with concern.
"Not bad, I will be promoted to director of the factory office next month."
"Haha? Young man, you did a good job. In just over a year, you were promoted to section chief?"
"It's just a minor subject, right? What does it mean to upgrade to half a level in a year?"
"De Xing, I said you are fat and you are breathing heavily."
"Hey~ It's all thanks to you, mom."
"How to say?"
"Didn't you tell me before that our factory director has been included in the list of the next standing committee? I changed my words, and then..."
How could Gao Yuejin not understand Gao Bin's tricks?
"Okay, Gao Bin, have you learned to use detour tactics now?"
"Hey~ It doesn't matter who I learned it from~"
"Hey? Did I teach you this?"
"You can learn by yourself without a teacher if you are influenced by your ears and eyes!"
Gao Yuejin laughed angrily, but she was still very pleased, because this kind of Gao Bin was what she wanted to see.
Otherwise, how can we inherit our own legacy?
"Okay, let me tell you another news. The Heavy Industry Commission is planning to implement a reform. I'm afraid the quota for imported iron ore will have to be readjusted."
Gao Binteng sat up immediately:
"Decided?"
"Hmm!"
"How to distribute?"
"The principle is to distribute according to the output of each company."
The leader's speech is an art, and if he listens, in principle, it can be discussed and handled.
Gao Bin pinched his chin, wondering how he should use this matter.
Seeing him like this, Gao Yuejin snickered:
"Okay, don't think about it now, today is family day, have a good meal, and we can talk about work until the working day."
"Oh~"
You really need to make good use of this, and it is very likely that it will reach a higher level next year.
"By the way, Mom, do you think it's possible for Binhai Steel Plant to be contracted by a private party?"
Now it was Gao Yuejin's turn to be stunned:
"Contract?"
"Yes, Binhai Iron and Steel Plant is just a pot of rotten food now, but the pot is a good pot and the cooks are not. If it could be run by someone else, it would definitely be dozens of times better than it is now."
Gao Yuejin looked at him seriously:
"Tell me the truth, do you have any ideas?"
"I do have some ideas. I'll start a scrap steel business in partnership with a few friends. I'll save some money later..."
Gao Yuejin stood up and paced in the living room.
"Why didn't you tell me such a big thing?"
"Tell you that you can let me do it?"
"Our family is not short of the money you can make to make scrap steel."
"The key thing is that you don't give me our money." Gao Bin said matter-of-factly.
Gao Yuejin was speechless:
"Tell me about your business."
Gao Bin didn't hide anything, he roughly explained his operating ideas, and Gao Yue slapped his thigh directly:
"I knew you had all these illegal operating methods in your head."
"Nonsense, you can't make money through formal means. Have you ever seen any business done through formal means?"
"How do you talk to your mother?"
"When it comes to business, don't use your status to pressure me."
Good guy, the nanny who was busy in the kitchen heard the conversation between mother and son and felt that these two women were not ordinary people.
"Okay, now that your wings are strong, I can't control you. If something happens, don't let me catch you."
"No, I will find a way to make money for myself."
"You..."
This is when the little wild cat opened the door and entered the house. He saw his mother and brother who were at war with each other, and was too frightened to speak.
"You're back? Wash your hands and eat~" Gao Bin said in an imposing manner, not taking the quarrel just now seriously at all.
Gao Yuejin is also a good actor, and he immediately put on a smile:
"Yes, wash your hands and eat. Auntie made your favorite braised pork ribs."
"Oh~" The little wild cat looked puzzled and didn't dare to ask any more questions. He quickly went to the bathroom to wash his hands.
During the meal, everyone kept silent and ate quietly, and the atmosphere was a bit stiff.
But they are all used to it, so there is nothing wrong with it. At least they can focus on the taste of the food.
After dinner, Gao Bin came to the study room. He needed to find some information.
Unexpectedly, Gao Yuejin walked in and closed the door.
"Let's have a good chat?" Gao Yuejin suggested.
"Okay, what do you want to talk about?"
"Let's talk about your business. How much do you earn now?"
"I didn't count, it's probably more than ten or two hundred thousand."
"Yourself? Or all of you?"
"Of course it's me."
"You made more than ten or two hundred thousand by yourself?" Gao Yuejin said in astonishment.
"Yeah, it's not much, it's all hard-earned money."
"You are so amazing, son, I really underestimated you." Gao Yuejin said with emotion.
The girl has changed a lot, and so has the son, who doesn’t even recognize him anymore.
"There are still many things you don't know. We must abandon our stereotypes towards young people."
"You're right, but your business should be over, right?"
"I contacted several other steel mills. Once the scrap iron from these companies is rounded up, Binhai will be overturned."
Gao Yuejin nodded:
"Let us also give you our own scrap steel, so that the rich water does not go to other people's fields."
"It's okay, but the price won't be too high."
"Little things."
"That's no problem, but mom, I really need your help with something."
"You said."
"The fleet, I am currently using the fleet from Binhai Steel Plant. It is no problem in a short period of time, but it is not a solution after a long time."
"Well, that's a question. What do you think?"
"Do you know anyone who has trucks that are about to be obsolete?"
Gao Yuejin's resources were incomparable to Gao Bin's. She squinted her eyes and thought for a while, then nodded and said:
"I know where to find them. There are about three of them. Can you eat them?"
"How do you say the price?"
"I don't know either. I'll ask you later."
"I can eat it within 100,000 yuan."
"Okay, I get it."
Nowadays, the ex-factory price of a brand-new Jiefang truck is only 50,000 to 60,000 yuan. If you want to buy it, it is estimated to be around 70,000 yuan. The price of a truck that is about to be scrapped is not too expensive.
...
Gao Yuejin acted very quickly, and in less than three days he had heard about the truck, and the three vehicles were worth 60,000 yuan.
The car is in place but the driver is not there yet, which is embarrassing.
But it's easy to find someone. Gao Bin talked with several drivers in the driver's class and they were all willing to quit their current jobs and work with Gao Bin.
Who wouldn’t want to make more money?
Moreover, they have been sending Gao Bin out for more than a year. Knowing how powerful his voice is, they don’t have to worry about making money.
With the addition of three trucks and the borrowing of trucks from steel plants from time to time, Gao Bin and the others have greatly improved their efficiency in collecting scrap steel.
Another year has passed, and it is another year of good harvest.
This year, Gao Bin's own dividends alone were 230,000, so you can imagine how much they earned.
To a certain extent, they have monopolized the scrap steel business in Binhai City.
Again, as long as any business reaches a monopoly, there is no need to worry about making money.
But the business here in Binhai has basically reached its peak. If you want to develop, you must go out.
It is very difficult to get started if you are not familiar with the place outside.
Gao Bin is a person who knows how to utilize resources. My mother is about to be promoted to vice president, and her voice and influence will reach a new level.
If nothing else, the steel factory in Luzhou has to give her face.
Besides, most steel mills look down on the scrap steel business. They think it’s worth it to give the Gao family a little bit of money through this small business they look down upon.
In this way, it was not until 1995 that the Second Steel Company finally established a foothold in the province, with annual revenue reaching 3 million yuan and net profit of nearly 1 million yuan.
At this time, Gao Bin finally thought of Lao Maozi from the north again.
"Brother Bin, our current space is not enough." Banxia mentioned the place where scrap steel is stored.
"Well, go to the nearby villages and look around. It shouldn't cost much to rent a tidal flat or an open space."
"There must be open space, but security is a problem." Xu Banxia was a little worried.
"Then hire people. Now that we have grown in scale, don't be petty. It's time to hire people."
Regardless of how big the company's business is, apart from Xu Banxia and Chen Yuyu, there is only one accountant and four drivers. Not counting Gao Bin, there are seven people in total.
"Okay, then hire someone, but the route is a problem. Whether by rail or by land and water, we have to study it carefully." Xu Banxia said.
"We'll talk about this later. Don't worry, I still need to confirm it."
Now he is the deputy director in charge of the logistics department of Binhai Iron and Steel Plant, and his promotion speed is as fast as a rocket.
No way, who gave him a good mother? Ever since he joined Binhai Steel Plant, he has never lacked policies.
No matter what the Industrial Committee does, they can always receive the news as soon as possible. News is money. Sun Changjiang has gained more than 20 pounds in the past few years by relying on Gao Bin. He looks like a meat ball. That is called a wealthy state.
.
If not, why did Gao Bin become the deputy director at the age of 30?
Of course, Gao Bin's work ability is recognized by the whole factory. Among other things, he pays benefits to workers every year and never lacks all kinds of affordable things. For this reason, he also has to pay for this during employee elections.
Ranked among the best.
Not to mention that he always responds to every request and gets positive feedback from workers who come to him for help.
Now there are rumors in the factory that if Sun Changjiang leaves, Gao Bin must be the next factory director, and no one else can!
Those who win the hearts of the people win the world. Isn’t that why Gao Bin did this? Otherwise, do you think being a good person is fun?
Not only the Binhai Steel Plant, but also the entire Binhai circle now knows the existence of Gao Bin. Some people even jokingly call him the Little Steel Prince of Binhai City.
It was originally called the Prince. Some people may have thought this title was too eye-catching, so they changed it to the Little Prince. Anyway, it means the same thing.
Why call him a prince? Is that even necessary? Don’t even look at who the queen is!
Because of his existence, even Xu Banxia's life has become easier. At least no one dares to bully her when she is out.
Otherwise, just based on her appearance, no bones and dregs would be left.
