"There was a car accident?" When Yan Jinghua and Li Mumu heard their boss say this, they suddenly felt inexplicable fear in their hearts. Fortunately, the boss was fine.
"Well, it must have been a rear-end collision. The scene was miserable. The specific reason is not clear." Xia Zekai said casually, not wanting to talk about it anymore.
After all, when they passed the scene of the car accident, an SUV plunged into the steel guardrail in the middle of the highway, and another car rolled over.
The scene was left with debris from the impact and several pools of dazzling blood.
There is a restaurant in the hotel, and Xia Zekai didn't pay attention to it. He went directly with his people and prepared two tables of dishes.
Yan Jinghua and Li Mumu told Xia Zekai about their meetings with Wu Yaohui, He Jindong and Zhou Xin, and also shared their impressions of Wu Yaohui and He Jindong.
Who knew that Xia Zekai didn't care, he said: "They can do whatever they like. One will retire soon, the other will leave before he knows how many years to stay, and the next one will have to be replaced again. Those things have nothing to do with us."
, As long as the common people grow dried fruits, maintain them well, and the quality is good, we will collect them when the time comes. When the common people see the money, they will know what to do, and we don’t have to worry about the rest.”
What Xia Zekai said was very reasonable. Yan Jinghua and Li Mumu both nodded. They also agreed with their boss's statement.
Regarding whether Jingtong Development Co., Ltd. will invest and build a factory in Dongcheng, Yan Jinghua and Li Mumu brought up the old matter again. After Xia Zekai thought about it, he said seriously: "We have just invested in Jingtong Industrial Park in Qicheng.
, more than half of the projects have not been started yet. In terms of production capacity, we are not in short supply at this stage, so we are not in a hurry to invest in building factories in Dongcheng."
"If you just want to save some freight costs and get economic subsidies to help farmers, I don't think it's necessary."
"It's only 200 kilometers from Qicheng to Dongcheng, which is too close. However, the investment in a factory can easily reach several hundred million. There are still many problems to be solved later. Do you think it's a good deal?"
The boss said so, and the two of them didn't mention it again.
Before I knew it, the night passed by.
Early the next morning, Xia Zekai had just woken up and was washing and brushing his teeth when he heard someone knocking on the door.
"Who is it?" he muttered.
I was still wondering who could be so ungrateful as to come and knock on the door so early in the morning.
"Zekai, I'm your new brother, are you up?" Zhou Xin shouted outside the door.
He had just called Yan Jinghua to confirm when his cousin would arrive today, and then he realized that his cousin had already arrived.
When Xia Zekai heard this, he hurried over and opened the door.
Zhou Xin saw his cousin holding a toothbrush cup in one hand and twitching the toothbrush in the other hand, with toothpaste foam still stuck to the corner of his mouth.
Zhou Xin was alone outside. When Xia Zekai opened the door, he was looking at Wang Yi.
"Brother, why are you here so early?" Xia Zekai even complained.
Zhou Xin glared at him angrily and said to him: "You came here last night, right? It's not like we don't have a place for you to stay at home, so why are you staying in a hotel?"
"Hey, I got here very late yesterday. Wasn't it because I thought it would be convenient to live here?" Xia Zekai said haha.
He pointed to his mouth and said, "Brother Xin, please wait a moment while I finish brushing my teeth first."
"Go about your business!" Zhou Xin couldn't help but complain about him.
He also took a look at his cousin's room. There was no one else except him.
Unexpectedly, my cousin is young and rich, and he is quite upright outside.
"Zekai, I heard from Mr. Yan that you have gone to the capital again. What's going on?" Zhou Xin asked him.
Xia Zekai said: "Brother, I just bought a courtyard house in Beijing, just in time for the renovation that started last month. I will live there for a while and have some leisure time."
"I think you just want to be lazy!" Zhou Xin saw through his thoughts at a glance.
Xia Zekai smiled "hehe", gargled his mouth, washed his face, wiped it clean, and then came out of the bathroom: "Brother, what time is it and you are here?"
"I don't want to ask you to have breakfast together." Zhou Xin said.
"Okay, come downstairs!" Xia Zekai was not polite to his cousin, and they came downstairs together.
Arcadia International Hot Spring Hotel has a buffet breakfast with many varieties.
But Xia Zekai still wanted to drink a bowl of warm Dongcheng mutton soup.
Hearing what his cousin said, how could Zhou Xin refuse and said directly: "Let's go then, take my car and take you to a good place."
Xia Zekai followed the good example and called Yan Jinghua and Li Mumu together before leaving, and got into his cousin's car, but Wang Yi and the others also followed in the car.
When he arrived at the place, Xia Zekai saw the plaque at the door saying 'Authentic Shanxian Mutton Soup'.
Good guy!
He subconsciously felt that none of the places that advertised as 'authentic' were genuine.
Zhou Xin seemed to see it from the expression on his cousin's face, and said with a smile: "The boss here is indeed from Shan County. The mutton here is also fresh and the soup is clear."
Xia Zekai understood immediately after hearing it. As for mutton soup, most of the milky white and thick soups have added things.
After entering, they asked for 2 kilograms of whole sheep, plus soup, which was a big bowl full.
Xia Zekai drank a bowl and thought that it tasted really good and really fresh.
"Zekai, let me tell you something." Zhou Xin said.
Xia Zekai listened carefully, and then heard his cousin say: "Old Wu is not necessarily a bad person, but when he reaches his age, he is focused on maintaining stability and has no ambition. He is basically something that can't be moved.
, just keep it as it is.”
"I was surprised that he readily agreed to promote dried fruit cultivation in Dongcheng two days ago," Zhou Xin said.
"As for He Jindong, he has the ability, skills, and background. He also wants to do something to express his ambition. He is very in favor of promoting the cultivation of dried fruits throughout the city."
"Judging from the results, both of them agreed, but I never understood why Wu Yaohui agreed?" Zhou Xin's eyes were full of doubts.
Xia Zekai had never met Wu Yaohui, so he couldn't figure it out even more.
But they also knew that something must have happened in the middle that they didn't know about.
Hearing what his cousin said, Xia Zekai smiled: "Brother, what a big deal this is. Let me tell you, if it works, it will be fine. If it doesn't, it's okay. We can't hang ourselves on a tree!"
"Before I came here, I was thinking that Dongcheng really didn't agree with growing dried fruits, so I put it aside and went directly to the province to talk to Lao Liu and Lao Sun. I believe they would be very keen to help promote it.
Dried fruit planting." Xia Zekai sounded like it was just a small problem in Dongcheng, and he didn't seem to pay attention to it at all.
Unexpectedly, when his cousin Zhou Xin heard his remarks, his face showed a look of realization: "By the way, I really want to know what's going on?"
Xia Zekai was even more puzzled. He asked his cousin, and then heard his cousin Zhou Xin say: "I guess this matter is directly related to your ability to contact the superiors!"
When he said this, Xia Zekai also came to his senses: "Brother, you mean that I can contact Lao Liu and Lao Sun directly, and that this old man Wu Yaohui is a little scrupulous?"
"If you put it that way, I can only say that he is a bit petty, and he is afraid that I will not succeed if I join him." Xia Zekai laughed.
Zhou Xin became more and more certain of his guess, but if he put himself in Wu Yaohui's perspective, he could understand what Wu Yaohui was worried about.
He said: "That's all. Let's eat quickly. When we are full, we will go directly."
Xia Zekai had no objection. He said, "Sign the contract as soon as possible. I have to go to my aunt's place to see my grandpa."
"You want to see grandpa!" Zhou Xin was stunned for a moment after hearing this.
Seeing his cousin nodding, Zhou Xin thought for a moment and said, "I haven't been back for a long time. If I finish my work early, I'll ask for leave and go back with you."
"Okay!" Xia Zekai thought this was good.
Work is one thing, but family cannot be ignored.
…
Xia Zekai went back to the Arcadia International Hot Spring Hotel. After grabbing his things, he saw that the time was past eight o'clock, so he followed his cousin's car to the Dongcheng Government Affairs Building with Yan Jinghua and Li Mumu.
With Zhou Xin leading the way, everything went smoothly.
After meeting Wu Yaohui and He Jindong, they expressed a warm welcome to Xia Zekai's arrival.
"I have been listening to various rumors about Mr. Xia in Dongcheng, but I have never had the opportunity to meet him. Today I finally met Mr. Xia." Wu Yaohui looked particularly happy.
A rotten old man who was almost sixty years old suddenly said to him, "I've wanted to see you for a long time." This made Xia Zekai feel a little disgusted.
As for He Jindong, he seems to be very capable. He is in his forties, and with connections, he is in a period of rapid growth.
Xia Zekai, Wu Yaohui, and He Jindong shook hands respectively. After everyone sat down, Wu Yaohui and He Jindong mentioned Jingtong Development Co., Ltd. many times.
In their words, they have always blamed themselves for the lack of comprehensive strength in Dongcheng, otherwise no matter what they say, Jingtong Development Co., Ltd. will be left "outside".
This statement made Xia Zekai sneer in his heart, but he didn't bother to refute it.
There are so many people who have not started their own businesses in their hometowns. Is it possible that local governments should blame themselves?
This is obviously oral pleasure!
Wu Yaohui took the initiative to mention that before the wheat harvest, comrades from the publicity office would be arranged to promote the planting of dried fruits.
He also said that he would arrange specialized technical personnel to follow up on this matter and teach farmers how to plant dried fruit trees to increase yields.
At the same time, He Jindong also mentioned whether Jingtong Development Co., Ltd. had any intention to invest in Dongcheng.
As the head of the Dongcheng family, Wu Yaohui made the decision at the right time and said: "Mr. Xia, as long as Jingtong Development Co., Ltd. is willing to invest and build a factory in Dongcheng, we will do our best to apply for agricultural economic development subsidies for your company."
The two of them showed their sincerity as soon as they came up, which Xia Zekai found quite interesting.
But he also said: "From my personal emotional perspective, as a Dongcheng native, I also want to invest and build a factory in our hometown."
"But it's not appropriate now!" Xia Zekai said tactfully.
Wu Yaohui and He Jindong were not angry, which was normal.
They also heard Xia Zekai say: "Since its establishment, Jingtong Development Co., Ltd. has been investing in building factories, expanding production, and expanding the sales market. Just the year before last, in order to completely solve the problem of insufficient production capacity, we
In one fell swoop, we purchased more than 2,300 acres of land and built a high-performance automated production industrial park."
"Our Jingtong Industrial Park project has a total investment of over 10 billion yuan in land acquisition, factory construction and fully automated equipment procurement."
"In order to get the Jingjing Industrial Park project started smoothly, our company has also spent a lot of money, but so far, half of it has not been started. For the time being, we really do not have more funds to invest in other aspects."
"Jingtong Development Co., Ltd. is so bold. It invested over 10 billion in one go. As far as I know, there are not many companies in Jidong Province that have invested over 10 billion at one time." Wu Yaohui heard Xia Zekai say it himself.
After hearing this, he couldn't help but admire him.
At the same time, I was also thinking: "How great it would be if so much money was invested in Dongcheng!"
"Pity!"
After a while, Wu Yaohui said again: "I understand your company's difficulties. If we are willing to help your company solve the problem of insufficient funds, I wonder if Mr. Xia can reconsider investing and building a factory in Dongcheng?"
This is a bit like begging Xia Zekai to come and invest.
He Jindong also said: "I have discussed with Comrade Yaohui that Dongcheng can use land as a shareholding, but we will not interfere with any management and operation of Jingtong Development Co., Ltd. This can be written in the contract."
Hearing He Jindong mention the matter of buying shares, Xia Zekai touched his nose and suddenly felt a little boring!
If He Jindong hadn't mentioned this, Xia Zekai might have considered it.
Jingtong Development Co., Ltd. has not had any external capital enter from the beginning, and Xia Zekai has always held the shares alone.
Xia Zekai thought that if I were looking for someone to buy shares, I wouldn’t look for your government!
You may have said well now that you will not interfere with the company's operations and management, but after you leave, will the newcomers acknowledge your mistake?
Anyone who believes what you say is damned.
In Xia Zekai's impression, the government's land investment can indeed solve the company's funding and loan problems in the early stage. However, the concerns of the government and individuals are fundamentally different, and there will be a lot of trouble in the later stage.
Xia Zekai thought it would be better to tell him directly to avoid getting entangled again.
"Why don't we finish signing today's cooperation contract first and talk about our company's investment in Dongcheng another day? What do you two think?"
"Sure!" Wu Yaohui and He Jindong both agreed happily.
They were also afraid that they were being pushed too hastily, not to mention that the dried fruit planting would be out of the question and the Xia Zekai people would run away again, which would really outweigh the gains and losses.
The press conference was finally held at the Dongcheng Guest House, where we could have lunch after our work.
He Jindong has arranged for his secretary to notify TV stations, newspapers, and other self-media offices in Dongcheng to wait.
They even notified the provincial TV stations and newspapers.
After chatting for a while, He Jindong took the initiative to mention going to the Dongcheng Guest House, and Xia Zekai followed.
