Chapter 1280 The threshold is getting higher and higher
At noon, Luo Xiyun personally cooked a table of food to entertain Lao Ma. This was the second time Lao Ma tasted Luo Xiyun's cooking. He couldn't help but raise his thumbs and praised: "Mr. Luo's cooking is better than those in star hotels."
The chef is even better.”
"Boss Xia is a blessed man."
Xia Zekai burst out laughing and said, "Of course, we can't do anything else. The most discerning thing in this life is to marry my wife."
"Ahem!" Ma Yun was eating vegetables when he suddenly heard Xia Zekai's words. He didn't react for a moment and was stuck. He quickly turned around and covered his mouth with his hands and coughed several times before he calmed down.
.
When he turned around again, his face was all red from coughing.
"Old Ma, please eat slowly, who is going to fight with you?" Xia Zekai said to him with a smile.
Ma Yun waved his hand: "What a shame!"
"I didn't expect Boss Xia to be so romantic. Compared with you, I'm far behind." Ma Yun said with emotion.
Luo Xiyun said: "Don't listen to his nonsense, Mr. Ma, he is just thick-skinned."
…
Alibaba Group has indeed gone public now, but Jack Ma still has a lot of things to do. He had lunch with Xia Zekai, mainly to negotiate the purchase of shares in Xiaoai Technology Co., Ltd., and he left in the afternoon.
He had just cashed out at least 1 billion U.S. dollars. People like Lao Ma are people who can't hold on to money. He is thinking of investing it in exchange for a large amount of high-quality assets, and then holding shares to wait for the increase.
But what neither Xia Zekai nor Luo Xiyun expected was that the next project Lao Ma was eyeing would be UC Youshi.
But this time it was a strategic acquisition in the name of Alibaba Group.
Alibaba Group already holds a part of the shares in UC Youshi, but now they want to acquire UC Youshi as a whole and turn it into a wholly-owned subsidiary of Alibaba Group, and are preparing to implement new plans from this aspect.
After Luo Xiyun got the news, she was particularly surprised and told Xia Zekai.
Then I heard Xia Zekai say: "Wife, if he wants it, sell it to him. The price cannot be cheaper."
"That's definitely not cheap." Luo Xiyun said with a smile.
…
After returning from his hometown, Xia Zekai has been busy these days, including going to the United States and returning to his hometown, which lasted almost a month.
During this period, a lot of work has accumulated, and he plans to work overtime to finish the backlog of work as soon as possible.
His wife Luo Xiyun also went to the company to arrange work tasks regarding the negotiations on UC Youshi.
The other party is Alibaba Group, which has just received a huge amount of more than 28 billion U.S. dollars in funding from the New York Stock Exchange. At this time, the other party is ready to fight with its invincible momentum.
For Kaiyun Investment, this is a serious opportunity to make a fortune.
…
Xia Zekai called his mother Zhou Yinghong early in the morning and asked her to come over and help look after the child.
Yatou and Tongtong returned to school after being away from campus for half a month, but after another week of classes it was time for the National Day holiday.
Her father said that he would take them out to play during the National Day holiday. The two sisters were very happy and kept saying that they liked and loved their father.
This made Xia Zekai feel that his daughter's love for him was too cheap...
Although I haven't been to the company for almost a month, there have been no big changes here. I didn't see many people on the paths inside the company. Everyone is busy.
When he walked to the door of the office building, Xia Zekai discovered that there were two more money trees on both sides of the door, which were as tall as one person.
The leaves are thick and wide, dark green in color, and the surface looks like it has just been rubbed with olive oil, crystal clear and shiny, which is particularly pleasing to look at.
"Good morning, boss." A young female clerk who came out to deliver materials was startled when she suddenly saw Xia Zekai standing at the door of the office building.
But the response was quick enough and I quickly said hello.
"It's Xiao Gao, good morning, go and get busy." Xia Zekai responded with a smile.
He recognized the other person. This was Gao Huihui, a clerk in the production office.
Gao Huihui didn't expect her boss to recognize her, so she was very excited.
However, she was still quite nervous talking to her boss. When she heard her boss asking her to get busy, she ran away quickly.
Walking up the stairs to the third floor and entering his office, Xia Zekai sat down and saw that the desk surface was reflective. On the three-layer file shelf in the upper right corner of the desk, the top 'unread files' were filled with all kinds of things.
Xia Zekai calmed down and began to read the documents one by one.
Obviously, this job cannot be completed in a short time. Xia Zekai read some important documents very carefully.
When you are busy, time flies very fast.
Xia Zekai didn't realize how much time had passed and he was already hungry.
He hadn't been here for almost a month, there was nothing to eat in the office, and it was not lunch time, so he had no choice but to make a pot of tea and drink water to satisfy his hunger.
After reviewing another document, Xia Zekai skillfully raised his hand to touch the next one. He was about to open it and take a look, when he noticed that the cover of the document read "Several Opinions and Guidance on Implementing the Conversion of New and Old Dynamic Energy and the Adjustment of Industrial Structure"
This is still a red header file.
This means that it is a policy document sent by the government for each enterprise to implement its own production structure adjustment according to this work guide.
Xia Zekai took the document and looked at the cover for a while. He was not in a hurry to read the content inside, but put it on the left hand side first and continued to read the rest of the company documents.
Don't rush this.
At noon, I went to the company restaurant for lunch with Yan Jinghua, Li Mumu and others.
After coming back, Xia Zekai didn't even take a lunch break. He continued to be busy and worked overtime. It wasn't until he had read all the documents that needed to be reviewed in the company that he took the red-headed document on the left about 'Transformation of old and new driving forces and adjustment of industrial structure'.
, read it carefully.
It is written here that Jidong Province must adjust all industries in the province from top to bottom, and the subsequent development and implementation of new investment projects will mainly focus on new energy, new materials, and new technologies.
Taking into account the accelerated rectification of three types of companies with high emissions, high energy consumption and high pollution at the same time, in a sense, Jidong Province has combined these two things into one.
This should be a good thing, but I'm afraid that the bottom will cater to the top and a one-size-fits-all situation will occur.
By that time, it will not be very friendly to most traditional manufacturing companies in Jidong Province, which will greatly increase the company's operating costs and increase the company's operational burden...
That's all. It's okay if the money spent can produce benefits, but the problem is that after the money is spent, it will most likely be wasted.
"Well, doing business is getting more and more difficult." Xia Zekai sighed.
But he had no choice. Even at a critical moment, Jingtong found that the company had to make small-scale adjustments. This was inevitable.
After reading through the contents inside, it was similar to what Xia Zekai thought, so he stopped reading the rest of the contents.
Seeing that it was getting dark outside, he shook the mechanical watch on his wrist and saw that it was already past 8 pm. He packed his things and was about to go home.
When he returned to Ziyu Garden Villa, the whole family hadn't eaten yet and were waiting for him.
This made Xia Zekai feel quite guilty. He said, "It's already this late. Why don't you eat earlier?"
"Xiyun said you haven't come back yet, and she's waiting for you to come back to have dinner together. I think we shouldn't divide it twice, just wait a while." said her mother Zhou Yinghong.
"Oh, I blame myself for forgetting the time when I was busy, and forgetting to call you earlier." Xia Zekai blamed himself for a while.
The girl yelled: "Dad, please stop nagging me. I'm so hungry that I feel sick. Wash your hands quickly and let's eat."
Even if the little guy is hungry, he is still waiting for his father to eat together.
Xia Zekai didn't waste any time. He quickly washed his hands and when he came back, the family started to have dinner.
Sisters Yatou and Tongtong chattered to their parents about the interesting things they had in school today.
Xia Zekai's heart was really in his throat, he was afraid of hearing his daughter talk about the fight in school again. Fortunately, everything was safe and nothing unusual happened.
However, Yatou and Tongtong said that their class was going to take an exam before the National Day holiday. Xia Zekai became interested and asked them both: "How many points can you two take? Is there any problem with getting 100 points?"
Who knew that the two sisters were quite confident, shouting one by one: "Don't worry, Dad, we will get at least 100 points in the test."
The two of them were bragging that they didn't draft any papers. They scored a total of 100 points on the test paper, and at least...
After dinner, Xia Zekai took the initiative to wash the dishes. When he came back, he told his wife about the document about the 'new and old kinetic energy conversion' that he saw again today.
The economic development of the country will be greatly affected."
Qicheng itself is a city dominated by chemical industry and heavy industry.
Metallurgy accounts for a large part of the business.
For a city like this that is dominated by traditional manufacturing industries, how can it be said that it can be easily transferred?
If one operation is not done well, it will affect the overall economic development of Qicheng. Who will bear the responsibility then?
Luo Xiyun said to him: "Zekai, I'm not asking you to take charge of the development of Qicheng. What are you thinking about? Let's just do our best. Maybe other companies have their own methods."
This is true. Companies that have survived several financial crises and economic crises have their own ways of survival.
As for those enterprises that went bankrupt, they were often eliminated due to various fundamental reasons such as backward production technology, weak funds, and products that were not competitive in the market. It did not take long for new industries to take their place.
It's like the reincarnation of everything.
But Xia Zekai didn't know that Wang Hongsheng was getting more and more depressed during this period, and he had a lot more gray hair on his head.
The superiors asked the subordinates to implement the conversion of old and new kinetic energy as soon as possible, but Qicheng had not yet started to take action. Wang Hongsheng felt that he was one step behind other brother cities, and he was very anxious.
The main project discussed recently is Ningde Battery’s investment and construction of a factory in Qicheng. It has been almost three months now and there is still no news from Ningde Battery. Wang Hongsheng thinks he should ask the boss of Xia Zekaixia for help.
