The plane landed at Yanjing Airport. Outside the airport, Chu Guangde had been waiting for almost two hours. As soon as he received the news that Chu Jingyao was about to leave, he drove over personally and led the team.
He had only met Chu Jingyao once, but Chu Guangde had a deep impression on him. He had seen a lot of the world and many beauties in his life, but he could leave such an impression on him like Chu Jingyao.
It was the only one who was deeply impressed by her in his life. Coupled with Chu Jingyao's illustrious family background, it was even more impressive and he dared not forget it.
"Mr. Chu, thank you for your hard work!" Chu Guangde immediately thought of Chu Jingyao and walked over, followed by his secretary and entourage. Chu Guangde politely stretched out his hand and handed it to Chu Jingyao.
"Director Chu, you are too polite." Chu Jingyao smiled, stretched out her hand and gently shook Chu Guangde's hand.
The moment his hands touched, Chu Guangde suddenly felt as refreshed as a spring breeze, but he did not dare to do anything excessive. On the one hand, Chu Jingyao came this time to discuss the financing of the steel plant on behalf of Tianchu Group.
On the other hand, a woman like Chu Jingyao whose beauty is almost otherworldly can be blasphemed so easily.
"Director Chu, let's get in the car first. I have already arranged lunch. Let's chat while we eat?" Chu Guangde asked humbly. The secretary and driver behind him were secretly surprised, and secretly looked at Chu Jing with stunning eyes.
Yao, I wondered in my heart what kind of background this beautiful woman had that could make the factory director be so groveling.
Chu Jingyao smiled and said, "Thank you, Director Chu."
Chu Guangde said: "Mr. Chu, you are too polite. This is my duty as a landlord."
Chu Jingyao took Chengcheng and Qin Xue into Chu Guangde's car. The two bodyguards obeyed Chu Jingyao's order and got into a business car at the back. The car slowly drove out of the plane.
At the scene, Chu Jingyao, who was sitting in the back seat, suddenly asked: "Director Chu, where is your Rolls-Royce?"
Chu Guangde smiled bitterly and said, "I'm not afraid of Director Chu's jokes. I sold that car."
Chu Jingyao asked knowingly, and Chu Guangde smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Chu must have understood the situation in our factory. At the end of the year, the workers are waiting to get money to go home for the New Year. They have been in arrears for more than half a year.
I have paid my wages, but I have to let the workers go first this year. The Rolls-Royce was sold, and I sold two more properties, so I can finally make do with it this year."
Chu Jingyao said calmly: "Director Chu, you are different from other capitalists I know. You seem to care more about your employees. If it were other capitalists, I am afraid that you would not take the initiative to sacrifice your own interests."
, even if it is a legal arbitration decision, I am afraid that I will think of various reasons to shirk it, and may even abscond with the assets."
Chu Guangde said with a smile: "Mr. Chu, you are very grateful. My father was the director of this factory in the earliest years. During the reform wave, the country issued new policies, and this factory fell into my father's personal name.
At that time, I still owed a large amount of debt to the country. The steel business was easy to do at that time. It took my father almost ten years to pay off the debt to the country. But then the steel market began to slump.
, the first two years were fine. After a year of hard work, I could still have some money left. However, in recent years, the market situation has become increasingly bad. My father was worried about a serious illness and he passed away.
This factory was handed over to me, and I and my two brothers immigrated abroad. When the factory was ordered to be inherited, no one of them was willing to take over it. They all knew that taking over the factory would be equivalent to a debt."
Chu Jingyao smiled and said: "So, you took over this factory to fulfill your father's last wish?"
Chu Guangde said: "My father's last wish was actually quite simple, which was to properly settle every employee in the factory. Unfortunately, the factory had already begun to owe bank loans at that time. I calculated that if the fixed assets of the factory were
After selling it, the remaining money was not enough to settle the employees, so I simply took a gamble and saw if the factory could be revived in my hands. I never thought that the result would be worse and worse."
Chu Jingyao said: "Has Director Chu ever thought about how to revitalize the steel factory?"
Chu Guangde said: "I have thought about it, but it cannot be realized unless there is new investment." As he spoke, Chu Guangde looked at Chu Jingyao expectantly through the rearview mirror.
Chu Jingyao said: "Director Chu, can you tell me what you are thinking? I happen to have a good idea here, let's see if our ideas can coincide."
Chu Guangde smiled and said: "Then I will show my shame in front of Mr. Chu. The current situation in the steel market is that ordinary steel is too redundant, while high-end steel is in short supply. For example, most of the steel used in the automobile industry
We need high-quality steel. The current equipment in our factory is too old, and the technical personnel are also in short supply. If we want to reverse this situation, we only need to inject new funds, upgrade the aging equipment, and attract some elite technical personnel. The business situation
It will be improved immediately.”
Chu Jingyao nodded and said with a smile: "What Director Chu said is similar to what I thought after inspecting the information of our steel plant. At present, what our steel plant lacks most is the injection of funds to operate. Can you provide some help?"
I have a reason, why should our Tianchu Group invest in you? There are so many steel factories, many of which are better than our current situation and require money, so we, the Tianchu Group, must have a reason."
Chu Guangde said: "Advantages... The advantage of our factory is that it has a long history. It has been developed almost since the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Many employees inherited the business from their fathers, ranging from technical backbones to ordinary workshop workers. The employees are very familiar with steel products."
The factory has a family-like affection, and with such a group of employees, as long as the factory has the right development strategy, it will not be afraid of not seeing benefits."
Chu Jingyao nodded and said: "Well said, the three keys to a company are direction, technology, and the employees under us. In addition, besides these, our Tianchu Group values our steel factory.
And the skills of the forging workers in our steel factory are almost among the best in the industry. This is also thanks to the inheritance of the father's business from son to son, so that the exquisite forging skills can be passed down."
Chu Guangde heard Chu Jingyao's repeated praise of the steel factory, and hope suddenly rose in his heart. He couldn't help but said excitedly: "Mr. Chu, what do you mean, do you plan to invest in our factory?"
Chu Jingyao smiled and said: "This is not certain yet. I can only say that there is intention. It depends on our further negotiations. If it goes well, the possibility will be greater. If it doesn't go well, I hope there will be opportunities to cooperate in the future."
Chu Guangde smiled, but his heart felt as painful as a bitter chrysanthemum. The goddess said it lightly. If we can't negotiate future cooperation, if we can't negotiate this time, the steel factory will close down after the year.
It's over. How can we have a chance to cooperate again?
The car stopped at the entrance of a hotel in a not too prosperous area. The decoration of the hotel's facade was quite good. Chu Guangde was afraid that Chu Jingyao would misunderstand, so he explained: "Mr. Chu, this is close to the factory. Let's finish our meal later."
Yes, you can just go and have a look."
Chu Jingyao smiled and nodded, holding Chengcheng's hand, and the group entered the hotel.
Chu Guangde also had good intentions, he booked the best private room in the hotel, and the dishes were all signature dishes. Everyone enjoyed the meal, and Chengcheng behaved particularly obediently.
After dinner, Chu Guangde took Chu Jingyao and others to the steel factory. They walked around the workshop roughly. The basic hardware conditions could only be said to be so-so. In the final analysis, it was still due to lack of money.
The damaged areas were left there without repair.
The steel factory has not completely stopped production, and the warehouse is filled with various steel products. When the factory director brings people to visit, whether it is the technicians sitting in the office or the steelmaking workers on the front line, their eyes are full of eagerness.
A person has an undivided share in the steel factory
The feeling of giving up is usually passed down from two to three generations. The earliest grandfather worked in this steel factory, and then his father, and then themselves. Now the steel factory has reached this point and is about to close down.
Everyone's heart is filled with unspeakable bitterness and sadness.
Regarding Chu Guangde, the young factory director, the employees did not have any complaints in their hearts. He also tried his best. In order to allow everyone to live a stable New Year, the fixed assets have been auctioned. The three brothers of the Chu family have
, the youngest brother was the most reliable, and the remaining two decided to go abroad when the steel factory business was not doing well.
The conference room is very large, and the furniture inside is a bit old. Even the second-hand furniture eliminated by the Tianchu Group is much newer than these, but it is very clean. Chu Jingyao, Chu Guangde and others respectively
Sitting on both sides, the negotiation went on for more than two hours. Chengcheng was arranged to rest in the lounge nearby and was taken care of by a dedicated person.
Chu Jingyao, Chu Guangde and others walked out of the conference room. Chu Guangde couldn't help but burst into tears. He was so excited that he could hardly speak. He held Chu Jingyao's hand tightly and said
: "Mr. Chu, thank you so much, thank you Tianchu Group, you saved the life of our steel factory!"
Chu Jingyao smiled and said: "Director Chu, don't be so unreasonable. The contract has been signed and we are colleagues from now on. The future development of the steel factory requires the efforts of all of us."
Chu Guangde said: "Yes, yes, we all work together and we must get better and better!"
Chu Jingyao came to the lounge. Chengcheng was already asleep. The little guy heard that he was coming to Yanjing to find his father last night, so he was so excited that he couldn't sleep. He had a lot of trouble on the plane, and he had a lot of trouble here again when he landed.
Circle, the little guy really can’t stand it anymore.
Chu Jingyao sat beside the bed and smiled at a little girl who had been taking care of Chengcheng. The little girl stepped aside shyly. At this time, Chengcheng opened his eyes in a daze and sat up after seeing Chu Jingyao.
, while rubbing his eyes, he said: "Mom, are we going to find dad?"
Chu Jingyao smiled and nodded, "Let's go now."
The little guy's sleepy eyes immediately opened up and he said, "Great, we are going to find daddy! Mom, should we call daddy first?"
Chu Jingyao smiled and said, "No need."
Chengcheng said: "What should I do if my father doesn't know I'm coming and doesn't prepare something delicious for me?"
Chu Jingyao smiled and said, "Whatever you want to eat, my mother will take you to eat it then."
Chengcheng said coquettishly: "No, I want dad to cook it for me. I like the food dad cooks. It is the most delicious thing in the world. Chengcheng loves it the most!"
Chu Jingyao smiled and said: "Okay, okay, then I'll ask dad to do it for you when we meet. Now hurry up, we have to go."
The little guy immediately jumped off the bed, took Chu Jingyao's hand and ran out...
