For several days in a row, Liu Ziguang didn't see his father when he went home for lunch. His mother complained repeatedly, saying that the old man seemed to have been injected with chicken blood. He went out before dawn and came back after dark, and kept nagging.
, it’s all about Factory Director Lu’s deeds, his excitement is just like that of a young man...

"Your dad had never been an official when he was young, but now he is very addicted. As for the director of the big workshop, in fact, he is not even a party member, let alone a group of old party members who still listen to him." Listen.
Liu Ziguang also felt that it was interesting to hear his mother's derogatory talk. This Lu Tianming had a way of beguiling people.
"Xiaoguang, you have time to persuade your father not to work so hard. It's not our mother and I who have to suffer from exhaustion. After all, age is not forgiving."
Liu Ziguang quickly said: "No problem, leave this matter to me."
At six o'clock in the evening, my father called me from the factory and asked me to prepare a table of wine and food for a few old friends. My mother complained again, saying that there was no food in the refrigerator, and the market was closed again. Where could I go?
Went to get some food and drinks, and Liu Ziguang happened to come home. When he heard this, he hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I'll come."
Liu Ziguang made a phone call to the Peace Hotel and arranged a table of wine and food, four cold cuts, four stir-fry dishes, two cooking dishes and one soup, all of which were generous Jiangbei local dishes, plus a box of Huaijiang special tunes, two
A box of beer and a carton of mid-range cigarettes were delivered by a van in less than forty minutes, and the food was not even cold.
After another half an hour, I heard cheerful laughter coming from the corridor. My mother went to open the door. Sure enough, it was my father who came back with a group of workers. Among them were many people Liu Ziguang was familiar with, such as Uncle Bei, Deng Yunfeng, and of course many others.
Most of them are unfamiliar faces. Looking at their rough hands, simple faces, and simple work clothes, you can tell that they are old workers from Chenguang Factory.
Seeing that the table was filled with food and wine, my father felt very proud and introduced to everyone: "This is my son, Liu Ziguang, the representative of Jiang'an District and the director of Zhicheng Group." Although the words were deliberately plain, he was full of pride.
But the strength cannot be concealed at all costs.
Everyone was in awe, but Liu Ziguang didn't dare to show off at all. He took out his cigarettes and spread them in a circle in an approachable manner, shouting uncles and elder brothers, which gave everyone face.
Everyone invited Liu Ziguang to the table for dinner. Liu Ziguang was not polite. He took a pair of chopsticks and sat down. He didn't talk much and didn't eat the food. He just drank with everyone and listened to them talking excitedly about the recent news in the factory.
Factory Director Lu was the chief of staff of a certain department before he changed his job, and he still has very deep connections. In just a few days, he helped the factory contact a business. It is said that he can successfully win it, and at least half a year he will not have to worry about the problem he is facing now.
Yes, the factory's infrastructure construction is too far behind and can no longer keep up with the situation. If the other party comes to inspect, it will be in vain.
However, from the workers' tone, they seem to be full of confidence. Factory Director Lu has already contacted them about the loan. As soon as the loan comes in, they will be able to purchase new CNC machine tools. With new machines and orders, the factory's future will be bright tomorrow.
There is hope.
Hearing this, Liu Ziguang became faintly worried. Naturally, these flat-headed workers would not know how difficult it is to borrow money from banks at this juncture. Now all the banks in the city are fully supporting the three major projects that Secretary Li personally presided over.
, wishing to empty out all the money in the family, to go to the bank for a loan at this time, and to get a loan for such a factory that is on the verge of bankruptcy, is simply a fantasy.
But seeing their hopeful faces and hearing their excited conversations, Liu Ziguang couldn't bear to pour cold water on them, so he just smiled lightly and agreed.
The guests finally returned home satisfied with their meals and drinks. My father sent them to the gate of the community before returning. In front of these workers, my father seemed to have some leadership style, but in front of those closest to him, he still expressed his deepest concerns:
"Lu Tianming is anxious and has offended many people. The road ahead is still very long."
Liu Ziguang advised: "Uncle Ming is a smart man. He does things step by step and is well-founded. Everything will be fine."
…
At the gate of the Municipal Commercial Bank, Lu Tianming walked out with a disappointed look on his face. The two huge stone lions at the door made his back extremely small. This was the first time he had been rejected. Lu Tianming couldn't remember clearly. He just
I know that all the materials I carefully prepared and drafted many times have been in vain.
He went to all the big banks such as China Construction Industry and Peasants, Communications, and Investment Promotion, as well as the smallest commercial banks. The loans were rejected without exception. At first, he naively thought that for an old state-owned enterprise like Chenguang Factory, others would
At least it would give me some face, but some bank employees didn't even know that Chenguang Factory existed, let alone get a loan.
In the morning, Lu Tianming went to the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission to gain organizational support, but was rejected without any suspense. Deputy Factory Director Tan's cousin-in-law was a junior leader at the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission. How could he not take this opportunity?
Give this blind Lu Tianming some shoes to wear.
Lu Tianming didn't understand why the old state-owned enterprise had become a stepmother. It was not that the bank had no money. He had also heard rumors that large sums of money had poured into those three joint venture projects. Now the whole city was buzzing with rumors.
, what will happen after these three projects are completed, but Lu Tianming just doesn’t understand. Without strong soft and hard strength and deep foundation support, Jiangbei City can transform into a sub-provincial city with just a few high-rise buildings?
Looking at the white sun in the sky, Lu Tianming felt dizzy. He recalled the scene of training in the Gobi Desert in the northwest. The environment back then was a hundred times worse than it is now. The people in the army could not be defeated so easily. He
I straightened my back and got into the Audi car.
This Audi is still an A6 left by the former factory director. It has never been used and has been well maintained. It has been sealed in the garage and was opened just to decorate the appearance. The driver Xiao Zhang is a laid-off young worker who originally drove the car for others.
A night-shift taxi driver came here after hearing that the factory was in need of talents, and was chosen by Factory Manager Lu to be the driver.
"Xiao Zhang, how is this car?" Factory Director Lu asked.
"It goes without saying, German cars are just good, solid and reliable." Xiao Zhang, who was wearing a neat suit, stroked the steering wheel and praised sincerely. He used to drive a Jetta, so it is naturally different from Audi.
"Let's go, do a lap on the outer ring road!" Director Lu said.
"Okay!" Although Xiao Zhang didn't understand why Factory Director Lu suddenly wanted to speed up the car, it was exactly what he wanted. He turned the steering wheel and headed straight for the outer ring road. The Audi car ran wildly on the relatively empty outer ring road.
, seeing the car being destroyed, Xiao Zhang was extremely excited. He looked in the rearview mirror and found Director Lu staring out the window motionless, as if he had turned into a statue.
Lu Tianming was used to sitting in the car and thinking about problems. Whenever he encountered problems in the army, he always asked the driver to drive him in a Beijing jeep and drive him wildly in the wilderness, smelling the smell of gasoline and letting the bumpy roads bump him.
, the mind will become sharper.
But in this high-end Audi car, you can't feel the bumps and the pungent smell of gasoline. You can only feel the scenery and speed passing by outside the window. This is the feeling of speed.
In this era of rapid development, we can only forge ahead indomitably. If we stop for a moment, we will be eliminated. Lu Tianming suddenly became enlightened and shouted: "Go back to the factory!"
When the Audi car returned to the factory, Lu Tianming said to Xiao Zhang: "Give the car a good beauty treatment and wax it to make it more beautiful."
Xiao Zhang wondered: "Will the leaders inspect tomorrow?"
"No, this car is ready to be disposed of."
Xiao Zhang's eyes widened: "If this car is sold, our factory will no longer have a good car to show off."
Lu Tianming smiled bitterly: "In a factory that is on the verge of bankruptcy, how can the leader have the shame to drive an Audi, while small entrepreneurs from his hometown drive a Santana, and the business is still booming."
…
A news spread in Chenguang Factory that the new factory director was going to sell all the cars in the factory without leaving a single one. When all the vehicles for sale were parked in front of the factory department one by one, the workers who came after hearing the news still ate a lot.
shock.
An Audi A6, three Satyrs, three Santanas, two Jinbei Breads, an old-fashioned Crown left over from long ago, a Guangzhou Peugeot 550, and two Tianjin Dafa vans.
After all, it is an old company. If you just clean it up, it will be a big fortune.
It’s hard to sell second-hand cars now. Even long-lasting models like the Audi A6 and Passat can’t sell for high prices. Ten years ago, they could still hold an auction to create a buzz, but now they can only find a few.
A salesperson from a used car company came to look at the car.
Several car dealers came to Chenguang Factory and looked around at the pile of cars that were being auctioned. They made critical comments and criticized them with the eyes of an expert.
"No matter how good a car is, even a Mercedes-Benz or a BMW, it will depreciate as soon as it is launched. This A6 does not even have an "L", it is outdated. There are so many smuggled cars now, and you can buy a new one at the same price. Who will buy your second-hand goods?
"
"It can't be sold at a higher price. This Passat is the best B5. It has many kilometers and is used well. It needs major repairs when you get it. It is only worth 60,000 to 70,000 at most."
"Three 2,000-dollar cars are no longer of good quality, and they are old. The maximum is 20,000. You can think of them as fine, but if they don't, you can pull them down."
"Don't sell these classic cars, smash them up and turn them into scrap metal."
Several car dealers were frothing at the words and desperately trying to lower the price. The workers who were watching were furious, but they also felt deeply sad. The poor Chenguang Factory was humiliated even for selling iron.
The three car dealers stood there smoking proudly. From time to time they took out their mobile phones to check the time and urged: "Can you sell it? Let me tell you something. I have something else to do."
Just when the driver, Xiao Zhang, was about to blurt out that he would not sell it, a big hand was put on his shoulder. He turned around and saw that it was the factory director Lu Tianming.
"Sell, sell all these cars, but the price must be fair." Lu Tianming said firmly.
The car dealers looked at each other and understood each other's weakness of needing money urgently. They shouted in a tacit understanding: "That's the price, it's not much more. If you don't believe it, just ask around. Apart from the three of us,
There is no more formal and fair second-hand car company in the entire Jiangbei City."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard an angry curse: "Let's go, Sun San'er, Mazi, Qiangzi, you three should stay where you are."
The three of them turned around and looked, with smiles on their faces: "Isn't this Brother Xuan! Why are you so alarmed?"
