Chapter 1397 An important turning point (4200 words) everyone early in the evening
Take a break
This is completely different from when he had a meeting with tens of thousands of employees in the company, and it was also different from when he went to Shanghai to participate in the Mid-Autumn Night Showdown Competition of "The Voice of China". At that time, he dared to sing in front of tens of thousands of viewers...
…
Thinking of this, Xia Zekai murmured to himself: "Why should I be embarrassed?"
On Thursday night, Xia Zekai received a call from Yan Jinghua.
Yan Jinghua told Xia Zekai on the phone about Dong Minglun and his group's visit to the factory, and also about taking them to the batching room. Xia Zekai said "hmm" and didn't particularly care about it.
He said: "Old Yan, start working with all your strength!"
"Well, two new projects have started in Jingtong Industrial Park. However, our dried fruit raw materials have been consumed a lot recently, and our inventory is running low. We need to purchase them from other places, and the cost of this will increase a lot."
After saying this, Yan Jinghua said: "Boss, I plan to go to Dongcheng to talk about the planting of dried fruits."
Xia Zekai understood as soon as he heard that Yan Jinghua actually considered it from his side, but Xia Zekai was not a pedantic and stubborn person.
He doesn't mind supporting the development of Dongcheng's characteristic agricultural economy when he is able.
Thinking of this, Xia Zekai responded, and then said: "Old Yan, I can't go back for the time being. It's up to you to handle this matter. Just follow the rules."
"Okay!" Yan Jinghua agreed.
When he was about to hang up the phone, Xia Zekai thought for a moment and added: "Old Yan, you can find a person named Zhou Xin who works at Dongcheng Government Affairs when you go. If you need anything, you can also ask him to find out more about the local area.
Case."
"Boss, I understand." Yan Jinghua said happily.
He understood what the boss meant.
…
Xia Zekai had just had breakfast on Friday morning and was going to send Yatou and Tongtong and the other two sisters to Xie Xindi's place to continue practicing piano and learn cultural knowledge from teacher Qianqian.
Who knew that the two sisters kept telling him to buy the light sign today, and also said that they would go to the CCTV Children's Channel piano competition tomorrow to cheer them on.
"Dad, you can't fall behind!" The girl clenched her little fists hard and said in a strange voice.
Tongtong didn't forget to add: "Dad, if you forget, I won't recognize you."
"Smelly girl, you're looking for a beating!" Xia Zekai muttered to her, but it had no effect. Their second child was still the same.
When he arrived at Xie Xindi's training school, Xia Zekai saw many cars parked at the door, but he didn't get on. He asked Wang Yi to take the two sisters out of the car and then went upstairs. Xia Zekai closed his eyes in the car and waited patiently.
.
About ten minutes later, Wang Yi came back and said, "Boss, I have sent them both to Teacher Xie."
"Okay, let's go, find a place to buy light signs, what a ghost!" Xia Zekai muttered.
When Wang Yi and Wu Jialei heard what their boss said, they burst into laughter, but their expressions didn't change at all.
After all, the boss still dotes on Yatou and Tongtong. Otherwise, how could he be such a big boss to do this?
Wang Yi really didn't know where to buy that kind of light sign, so he finally checked online.
Not to mention, the all-powerful Baidu has really found a place for him. There are more than one place, and they are all in the market.
After Wang Yi told Xia Zekai and got the promise, he drove Xia Zekai there directly.
…
At the same time, over in Qicheng, after Yan Jinghua finished calling Xia Zekai, he and Li Mumu set off with their team to Dongcheng.
Prepare to communicate and coordinate with Dongcheng's government affairs as soon as possible, and the sooner this matter can be finalized, the better.
The longer it takes, it will only increase the company's cost burden of purchasing dried fruits.
The two of them kept chatting about this matter on the way there.
Yan Jinghua also told Li Mumu that the boss asked them to find 'Zhou Xin'. Li Mumu said: "Old Yan, I think this Zhou Xin may have something to do with the boss."
"I think so too, but it doesn't matter anymore. This is not important. Let's implement the planting of dried fruits with the other party as soon as possible. This can no longer be delayed," Yan Jinghua said.
He is not a person who is not involved in production and knows nothing about agriculture. He also knows that the wheat harvest season is coming soon. After that, it is time to plant corn. By then, it will be too late.
They can't be so immoral as to ask farmers to dig up the grain they have already harvested and plant dried fruits instead!
The car was moving quickly on the highway, and bursts of slight wind noise came, which could not cover up the voices of Yan Jinghua and Li Mumu chatting.
They also talked about Dong Minglun and his party visiting the company.
In their words, the arrival of Dong Minglun's team this time was a very important turning point for Jingtong Development Co., Ltd.'s overseas business.
Walmart Supermarkets has more than 6,000 stores in 26 countries around the world, which is a huge number!
‘Jingtong Food’ has entered the markets of these 26 countries with the display in Wal-Mart stores, which has also opened an opening for their products to enter these countries.
This makes it easier to be accepted by other customers.
"The company has changed so much in the past two years that I can't even grasp the direction." Yan Jinghua was also a little confused at this time.
Li Mumu patted him on the shoulder and said: "Old Yan, don't put too much psychological pressure on yourself. After arriving in Dongcheng, let's find a place to have a drink first."
"There's no rush about drinking. Let's go to the Dongcheng government agency to meet with the other party first and have a chat. It's best to confirm this matter as soon as possible." Yan Jinghua still knew what was going on.
He said: "Lao Li, it's not that I'm in a hurry, it's that time waits for no one. By the time the farmers have harvested all the wheat and planted the corn seeds in the ground, it will be too late. We want to wait for the farmers to plant dried fruits.
We have to wait until the National Day, what a loss this half year will be!"
After hearing what he said, Li Mumu stopped mentioning drinking.
He can still clearly distinguish the priorities of things.
The car was still running on the highway. About three hours later, the car got off a highway intersection near Dongcheng.
When getting off the expressway, Li Mumu took a special look and saw the plaque at the toll station that said 'Chenzhuang Station Entrance'.
He didn't know where this was, but it didn't prevent the driver from finding the best route from the navigation.
I first went to the best hotel in Dongcheng to complete the check-in procedures, and then drove to the Dongcheng Government Affairs Office Building.
The place was not difficult to find. On the way here, Yan Jinghua asked the boss for Zhou Xin’s phone number.
Not long after, Xia Zekai sent it to him on his mobile phone.
When Yan Jinghua dialed Zhou Xin's number, he said: "Hello, Mr. Zhou, it's Mr. Xia Zekai who asked us to contact you."
Zhou Xin is forty-six years old and he is now a deputy government official in Dongcheng.
When he was young, he still had many ideas in his mind and wanted to develop Dongcheng's economy. However, reality taught him that there was an insurmountable gap between his ideas and the realization of his ideals. In addition, he was approaching retirement age.
All the thoughts in my mind faded away.
After receiving a call from Yan Jinghua and knowing that they were from his cousin Xia Zekai, Zhou Xin went to the door to pick them up in person after asking about the location.
It was a coincidence that when he came over, he happened to see two cars with Qicheng license plates parked at the door. Someone got out and was talking to the guard at the door.
After asking, it turned out that it was really Yan Jinghua and the others, and Zhou Xin told the guards to let them go.
"I haven't seen Zekai for a while. Do you know what he has been busy with recently?" Zhou Xin asked.
Hearing what Zhou Xin said, the two of them realized more and more that the person in front of them had a relationship with their boss. Li Mumu thought for a moment and asked, "What is the relationship between Mr. Zhou and my boss?"
"We are cousins, and my deceased father was my uncle Zekai." Zhou Xin said without hesitation.
After hearing what he said, and the fact that their boss Xia Zekai asked them to come over to find him, the two of them were no longer wary and told Xia Zekai's current situation.
After hearing what Yan Jinghua and Li Mumu said about Xia Zekai's stay in the capital, Zhou Xin was filled with emotion: "I really didn't expect that Zekai went to the capital again. He changed places very quickly."
Neither Yan Jinghua nor Li Mumu participated in this topic.
"Mr. Yan, Mr. Li, what is the purpose of your visit this time?" Zhou Xin asked.
Then I heard Yan Jinghua and Li Mumu explain the purpose of coming to Dongcheng.
After listening, Zhou Xin suddenly realized, and then slapped his thigh again: "Mr. Yan, Mr. Li, why didn't you call us to discuss such a big matter before coming here?"
"If we had known that it was such a good thing, we would have all gone to the highway to welcome him!" Zhou Xin stretched out a finger and stroked his eyes on the bridge of his nose. After getting excited, he thought for a moment and then made a decisive decision:
"Mr. Yan, Mr. Li, you two wait in my office for a moment. I will go and tell Comrade Jin Dong."
He was very anxious about the development of Dongcheng's agricultural economy. After bringing the two of them to his office, he arranged for someone to make tea for them and then went out.
About ten minutes later, Zhou Xin came back, and with him was another middle-aged man with silver-rimmed eyes on the bridge of his nose.
Upon entering, Zhou Xin introduced both parties.
Only then did Yan Jinghua and Li Mumu realize that this middle-aged man was the top leader of Dongcheng's government affairs, named He Jindong.
After he just listened to Zhou Xin's explanation of the purpose of their coming, he no longer cared about being reserved and hurriedly followed Zhou Xin.
This full sincerity made Yan Jinghua and Li Mumu feel much better.
After the two sides sat down and started talking, He Jindong was filled with emotion.
Comparing Dongcheng and Qicheng, no matter which aspect you compare, it is far inferior.
As the deputy squad leader of Dongcheng, He Jindong has also thought about how to develop Dongcheng. Unfortunately, this place is poor, has few resources, and does not have many good projects.
Speaking of factories, most of them in Dongcheng are state-owned enterprises, but in the current economic environment, many are not adapted to the climate and are unsustainable.
He Jindong wanted to find another way to develop Dongcheng's economy from other aspects, but there has been no better way.
Yan Jinghua and Li Mumu just told him that they wanted to appeal to most farmers in Dongcheng to plant dried fruits, which made He Jindong's eyes light up. He felt that this path was right and there was no problem at all.
When Dongcheng's current industrial economy cannot develop, taking the path of agricultural development is also a good choice.
At least it can make the people have money, which will inevitably lead to various consumption, which can also drive the local economic development of Dongcheng to a certain extent.
He Jindong knew that the development of Qicheng's "specialty agriculture" relied on the cultivation of this dried fruit.
He thought to himself, since I can't surpass it, why not copy Qicheng's agricultural development path, at least this one will not cause problems in the general direction.
After thinking about it, He Jindong went to find Wu Yaohui, the head of Dongcheng, a middle-aged and elderly man who was eight years older than He Jindong but still shrewd.
Wu Yaohui is a very special person. He is almost reaching his age and will retire soon.
After hearing what He Jindong said, Wu Yaohui's mood did not cause any disturbance. He said: "Comrade Jindong, we need to maintain stability now. Everything we do has a good starting point, but don't do it too hastily."
He Jindong immediately recognized the hidden meaning in Wu Yaohui's words.
From Wu Yaohui's point of view, there is no problem at all for him to consider this.
At least there won't be any problems during your term of office.
But this is not what He Jindong wants. He has repeatedly stated how successful Qicheng's 'Special Agricultural Dried Fruit Cultivation' project is. The per capita income of farmers is at least tens of thousands of yuan, which has surpassed most of the workers in Qicheng.
.
"Comrade Jin Dong, do you think farmers are willing to take 'risks' to grow dried fruits?"
"As far as I know, this thing takes too long to be effective. It will take at least more than a year before you can see the benefits."
"The wheat harvest is coming soon. Isn't it already too late for us to promote the planting of dried fruits?" Wu Yaohui said.
Hearing what he said, He Jindong sneered inwardly and started arguing with Wu Yaohui on the spot.
He Jindong has a background, a big background.
Wu Yaohui knew very well that when he was about to retire, he didn't want to have a hard-fought fight with Ho Jin-tung and make everyone blush, which would not be good for him at that time.
After thinking about it, Wu Yaohui said: "Otherwise, it will be difficult to promote it citywide, but we can divide several districts and counties and establish demonstration bases. As for whether farmers are willing to grow dried fruits or grain, that's all
Their own choice."
This can be considered a compromise.
When He Jindong heard what Wu Yaohui said, he didn't press any more. He thought he could take his time.
Wu Yaohui was very happy to see that He Jindong was very 'aware of current affairs', and said on the surface: "This is a big matter, Comrade Jindong, you should pay more attention to this matter, and be sure not to cause other troubles." Wu Yaohui said.
.
"Okay!" He Jindong agreed on the spot.
Wu Yaohui stood up at this time. If He Jindong's height is close to 1.8 meters, Wu Yaohui's height difference is at least ten centimeters.
But the height difference did not affect his ability to control the overall situation in Dongcheng. He said: "Let's go, I will meet each other with you and have a detailed chat."
He Jindong led the way and went to the conference room with him.
At the same time, He Jindong called his deputy Zhou Xin and asked him to take Yan Jinghua, Li Mumu and others to the conference room.
In Zhou Xin's office, he was chatting with Yan Jinghua and Li Mumu, waiting for news from He Jindong. After receiving He Jindong's call, Zhou Xin took them directly to the conference room.
