Dracula is naturally a play directed and acted by Hua Shier himself. It is the external plug-in for him to make the sawmill bigger and stronger, or "plug-in" for short!

A month ago, Hua Shier released Lao De and assigned him the task of setting up a company in Hong Kong Island and then going to Changbai Mountain in the mainland as a Hong Kong businessman to collect some Chinese medicinal materials that he could use.

In the process, Dracula will 'accidentally' discover the Red Star Timber Factory's new product 'laminate flooring'.

Then Lao De was 'surprised' to find that this kind of 'laminate flooring' from the mainland was of better quality and much cheaper than the popular laminate flooring in Europe today, so he decided to order a large quantity.

Well, although it was self-directed and self-acted, Hua Twelve will not do business at a loss. Currently, laminate flooring is indeed very popular in developed countries such as Europe, America, Japan and South Korea.

The floors he produced using later technology could completely crush contemporary products and quickly grab the market. Not only could he earn foreign exchange for the mainland, but he could also bring more profits to his company in Hong Kong Island once he resold them, killing two birds with one stone.

In addition, Hua Twelve also plans to divide its products into three categories, just like the Japanese sold cars in later generations. The best cars will be kept for their own use, the next best ones will be sold to Europe and the United States, and the worst ones will be sold to us.

Hua Shier planned to use his own method to retaliate against the enemy.

As we all know, board materials contain formaldehyde. In this era, the harm of formaldehyde has not been taken seriously. It was not until 1995 that the international community began to pay attention to the formaldehyde problem in furniture. In the same year, formaldehyde was identified as a suspected carcinogen by the World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC).

There were still more than 20 years until 1995. Hua Shier planned to sell its environmentally friendly formaldehyde-free composite flooring domestically, sell its lower-grade flooring to Europe and the United States, and sell those composite floorings with excessive formaldehyde to Xiao Ri Zi.

For the long-term output over the past twenty years, even if it was given to the Eight-Nation Alliance and the Japanese invasion, we can just collect some interest.

Okay, I'm getting off topic. After the leader understood that H-12's products could generate foreign exchange for the Guo family, he became extremely enthusiastic and personally poured him water and handed him cigarettes, also helping him resolve the embarrassment of having to eat the floor.

"Comrade Bingkun, please tell me what your product is all about!"

Hua Shier rolled his eyes. Before, he was just a little comrade who didn't even deserve a name, but now whoever feeds you is your mother!

Besides, with your brain, what can you understand if I tell you about the product?
He looked into the leader's eyes, his eyes flickered, and he used the Soul Transfer Technique and said in a gentle voice:
"Boss, don't worry about other things, just leave it to me. Now can you tell me which bastard is behind my back?"

The leader was very principled and refused directly:
"How can I tell you about this kind of thing? I will never tell you. It was your factory deputy director Liu and director Li who came to me to complain about you. If that were the case, wouldn't I be creating a conflict? Don't ask me. I definitely can't tell you!"

Hua Twelve gave the other party a thumbs up: "As expected of a good comrade who has passed the alcohol test, he is really tight-lipped!"

After returning to the factory, he called a meeting of the leadership team. Deputy Director Liu, who was in charge of production, and Director Li, who was in charge of the workshop, were all present.

At this moment, the two men were looking at him with a gloating look in their eyes.

Hua Shier knew why these two people were targeting him. After he became the factory director, he took control of the production power, which affected the interests of Deputy Director Liu.

He also created a new product workshop, which made Director Li feel the crisis.

It's not hard to understand why these two people are holding him back.

But if you do it, you have to pay the price.

Hua Twelve coughed lightly and said to the factory cadres present:

"I have good news for you all. Our new product has been approved by the bureau and has found an export market!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present had different expressions. Some were happy, like the security chief Xiao Guoqing, who was the first to applaud.

There are also incredible ones, such as Deputy Director Liu and Director Li.

Hua Shier looked at the two of them meaningfully. The two of them immediately smiled guiltily and quickly followed the others in applauding.

When the applause died down, Hua Twelve continued;
"Next, our factory will expand its scale, build two new workshops, recruit more workers, and strive to build the production line of new products as soon as possible. I will go there in person to do these things!"

"There is one more thing. Export goods need to be connected with Hong Kong merchants through the Provincial Foreign Trade Bureau. I will leave this matter to you two, Deputy Factory Director Liu and Director Li. Is that ok?"

Deputy Director Liu and Director Li were both a little bit unbelieving. Connecting with Hong Kong businessmen was definitely a lucrative job. If they could establish some relationship with them, their future would be more than just being a small leader in a large collective unit.

By then, it might be possible to go to state-owned enterprises or even reach a higher level position.

They didn't know they had been exposed. They looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes. They thought that Zhou Bingkun was still young, otherwise how could they let go of such a relationship and hand it over to someone else.

The next day, the two of them happily went to the foreign trade department to apply for product export, and successfully connected with the foreign Hong Kong businessman Dracula.

But on the third day after the two men met with the Hong Kong businessmen, Dracula invited them to dinner alone. Both of them got drunk that day. The next day, Dracula reported to his superiors in righteous indignation, saying that Deputy Director Liu and Director Li had openly asked for benefits from him.

Needless to say, Deputy Director Liu and Director Li were taken down immediately.

The two men were speechless. They themselves suspected that their true nature was exposed after drinking. They were not sure because they were both blackouts that day.

Hua Twelve just laughed, what does it mean to do it without bloodshed? With my skills, I can dig a hole for others without a shovel!
When these two men fell, Hua Twelve took over and successfully negotiated cooperation with Lao De.

In order to flatter Hua Twelve, Lao De even added drama without authorization. After signing the order contract, he actually gave Hua Twelve a thumbs up in front of many leaders:

"Ni Men Hua Xia, with a heroic factory manager like Ni, there is no need to worry about not being able to defeat Vida again."

Hua Twelve is so shameless that he almost dug out a three-bedroom apartment with his toes. He is so good at talking. He should stop talking nonsense in the future!
When he returned to the factory, he began to expand and recruit more employees. Hua Shier also took this opportunity to fulfill his promise to Uncle Gong and transferred Gong Bin's work relationship from the soy sauce factory to the timber factory, making him a team leader in the new product workshop.

Uncle Gong was very happy with Hua Twelve's actions. He brought Gong Bin to give Hua Twelve a gift, but Hua Twelve refused with a smile, saying that letting Gong Bin work hard would be enough to repay him.

In addition, Hua Shier also transferred Qiao Chunyan from the public bathhouse to the logistics department of the sawmill through Director Zhang of the street, to be responsible for receiving Dracula and his party, a foreign Hong Kong businessman who were about to visit the factory.

Qiao Chunyan was extremely happy, not because she no longer had to fiddle with her stinky feet in the bathtub, but because Hua Twelve did not fool her or lie, and everything was going according to plan.

The new workshop was put into production immediately after it was built. After the first batch of products came out, Dracula brought the technical staff and foreign trade leaders from Hong Kong Island to visit. After inspecting the products, they expressed great satisfaction.

In front of his leader, Hua Shier asked Dracula to fulfill the contract and pay half of the payment in advance for subsequent production.

Before making the payment, Dracula made a request. He asked the Red Star Timber Factory to set up an office in Hong Kong Island to facilitate the connection between the two parties and product after-sales issues.

Hua Shier retreated to advance, saying that this was difficult to do, but the leader next to him agreed to it directly on his behalf, and the matter was settled.

If nothing unexpected happens, Qiao Chunyan must be one of the members of the timber factory's Hong Kong office.

After getting the promise, Dracula happily paid half of the purchase price, all in US dollars. Of course, when the money was transferred to the sawmill account, it was all converted into RMB.

The timber mill earned foreign exchange for the Guo family and immediately became a local star enterprise and a good unit that everyone envied.

Xu Hongbing, who was retired at home, regretted his decision at this moment. He did not expect that Hua Shier would really get the job done. If he had known earlier, he should have had more courage and agreed to it. Maybe he could have made further progress before retiring.

On May 1st, Labor Day, Hua Shier set up two tables at home, invited relatives, friends, and neighbors, and married Zheng Juan in a low-key manner.

Two months later, Xiao Guoqing and Wu Qian also entered the marriage hall.

In a blink of an eye, a year has passed. Under the leadership of Hua Shier, the Red Star Timber Factory has become a nationally renowned star enterprise. The particle board it produces has become a leading product in the industry and is sold well across the country due to its focus on quality.

The star product "Red Star Floor" is exported to developed countries such as Japan, South Korea, Europe and the United States, earning more than 3 million US dollars for the Guo family in just one year.

Chunyan resigned after living in Hong Kong for half a year, obtained a local ID card, and directly joined Dracula's Hong Kong company.

Hua Twelve did not disappoint the other party. He went to Hong Kong Island through the magic door, changed his name and got an ID card, and then registered with Chunyan in Hong Kong Island. Outsiders thought that Chunyan had found a big boss there, but Chunyan herself knew that she was the boss lady of this company.

Now that the lumber mill had money, Hua Shier also began to implement a plan to improve the living environment in Guangzi area. He communicated with the higher authorities, used a sum of money to allocate the land in Guangzi area to the lumber mill, and then began relocation and reconstruction.

The money Hua Shier earned was in the Hong Kong Island Company. No matter how much money the timber factory made, it would never go into his pocket. It would be better for him to use the money to improve the living environment for himself and his factory workers.

According to Hua Shier's plan, factory employees will be allocated housing free of charge, and the allocated area will vary according to the family population.

In addition, he also introduced a benefit, that is, if the area of ​​the allocated house is too small, you can pay the cost price to increase the area of ​​the house, which is about 20 yuan per square meter, which is very cheap.

Actually, Hua Twelve was opening a back door for himself. He just wanted to live in a big house, so he planned to build a 200-square-meter single-family house with a garden. Of course, it could also be called a villa, but calling it a villa these days is too easy to make a mistake, so he insisted on calling it welfare housing!
Besides, he couldn't have just one villa because that would be too conspicuous. Hua Shier planned to kidnap the masses to come along. There were five streets in Guangzi Pian, and he planned to use four streets to build it in the same way as the later Xingshi Village, all of which would be made into independent houses, which the Japanese called single-family houses.

The remaining street was built into commercial buildings to accommodate residents in the Guangzi area who were not factory employees.

These days are not like the later times, when there are still nail households during relocation. Hua Shier went through the streets to visit the residents of Guangzi area to discuss the renovation plan. When they heard that they could live in a building, no one disagreed.

For a time, whether it was the workers in the sawmill or the residents of Guangzi area, everyone missed Hua Twelve.

Three construction companies in the city were contracted to carry out the renovation project, which is proceeding in full swing.

That day, Hua Twelve was looking at the financial statements of the welfare project. Sun Ganchao, who had become the head of the logistics department, and Xiao Guoqing, the head of the security department, knocked on the door and came in. The former said with a smile:

"Bingkun, I'm busy!" Xiao Guoqing hit Sun Ganchao with a stick:

"It's the job title in the factory!"

After Xiao Guoqing finished speaking, he smiled at Hua Twelve and said:

"Is it the factory director?"

Hua Twelve laughed and threw a cigarette to each of them:

"You are a teachable kid. I was wondering why the two of you came to my place together. I think you two are night owls who come here for no reason. If you have something to say, just tell me. I am still busy here!"

Sun Ganchao and Xiao Guoqing sat down opposite him, and the former said:
"It's like this. Our factory now has over a thousand workers. There's only one old Chinese doctor in the factory clinic, not even a nurse. They can't handle it all!"

Hua Twelve nodded: "What you said makes sense, what do you mean?"

Sun Ganchao laughed:
"It's like this. Before Chunyan went to Hong Kong Island, she introduced her apprentice Yu Hong to me. Now we get along very well. Yu Hong's job in the public bathhouse is very tiring. I thought that since she is clever and attentive, how about letting her come to our factory's medical room to be a nurse?"

When Hua Twelve heard Chun Yan'er talk about this, he immediately laughed and said:
"Changing from a pedicurist to a nurse is a big career change!"

Sun Ganchao was also a little embarrassed: "Just tell me if it's okay or not!"

Hua Twelve did not give a reply, but looked at Xiao Guoqing:
"As for you, don't just say you came here with him, tell him about your story as well!"

Xiao Guoqing smiled awkwardly:

"It's like this. Our factory is going to set up a second canteen. Wu Qian wants me to talk to you about whether we can transfer her to our factory!"

Hua Twelve asked curiously, "Wu Qian is working at a state-owned restaurant, right? Are you sure she wants to be transferred to our collective unit?"

Xiao Guoqing curled his lips and said, "Oh my factory director, you underestimate our factory too much. Among those large state-owned factories, how many can compare with ours? Wu Qian said that our factory has good welfare, and we distribute things and housing all year round, so she wants to come to work in our factory!"

He said that he was afraid that Hua Twelve would be embarrassed:

"If the cafeteria is hard to arrange, then the infirmary will do, two nurses are enough!"

Hua Twelve was so amused by these two guys: "Do you really think anyone can be a nurse? Can you give an injection? Do you know some basic first aid knowledge? And you can do it all!"

He said to Xiao Guoqing, "Let Wu Qian go to the second canteen. She has experience and resume working in a state-owned restaurant. After she is transferred here, she can be the canteen director!"

Then he said to Sun Ganchao, "The problem you mentioned should indeed be taken seriously. So, I plan to expand the infirmary and turn it into a factory-run clinic. I will hire two more doctors and a few nurses. You can ask Yu Hong to sign up first, and then the factory will send her for training."

When Sun Ganchao and Xiao Guoqing heard this, they were overjoyed and said that Hua Twelve was very considerate.

When the two of them finished smoking and were about to leave, Xiao Guoqing asked:
"Director, we are a star enterprise. When can you remove the word 'agent'?"

Speaking of Hua Twelve, a sneer appeared on his face. He had asked his superiors about this matter, but they said that he was young and had little experience. If he was converted to a regular employee, he was afraid that the masses would have objections. So, it would be better to let him serve as an interim official for the time being and wait two years before converting him to a regular employee.

Hua Twelve just laughed at that time.

He developed a large collective factory with more than 300 people into a nationally renowned star enterprise, earning more than 3 million US dollars a year. It should be noted that the current national foreign exchange reserves are just over 80 million.

The fact that such merits cannot be converted into regular employees can only mean that there is something wrong.

Hua Shier felt that someone was eyeing his position as factory director and was waiting for him to develop so that they could reap the benefits.

He waved his hand and let Sun Ganchao and Xiao Guoqing do what they were supposed to do.

As soon as the two opened the door, the factory director's secretary came to report that someone he knew was visiting.

Hua Shier asked his secretary to bring the person in, and it turned out to be Ma Shouchang, a person he had met once.

After more than a year of recuperation, the old man's legs and feet have recovered. As soon as we met, he said enthusiastically:
"Zhou Bingkun, you are my great benefactor. The experts in the military hospital said that the person who set my bones was very skilled. Otherwise, at my age, I might have had short legs!"

Hua Shier asked the old man to sit down and asked his secretary to pour tea. Ma Shouchang waved his hand:

"Don't be in a hurry. I actually wanted to come and thank you a long time ago, but I was injured, so my wife insisted that I go to Beidaihe for recuperation. Now that I'm fully recovered, I came to thank you specially. I'd like to invite you to my house for a meal so that my wife can thank you too!"

Hua Shier thought that Ma Shouchang and Qu Xiuzhen were both rare good people and wanted to make friends with them, so he agreed immediately.

After get off work, Ma Shouchang invited Hua Twelve to get in his car, and then the car drove straight to S compound.

When they arrived at the place, Ma Shouchang took Hua Shier into the house and saw Liu Huifang head-on. Oh, it was Qu Xiuzhen.

The old lady was more enthusiastic than Ma Shouchang. She asked the nanny to serve the dishes and even took out a bottle of aged rice wine to entertain Hua Twelve.

I said a lot of words of thanks, but I won’t mention it anymore. After three rounds of drinks, Qu Xiuzhen brought up another matter.

"Xiao Zhou, I invited you here this time. First, I want to thank you for saving our old Ma. Second, I want to ask you if you want to be transferred to our soy sauce factory as the director?"

"Our factory has never been able to develop. I think with your ability, Xiao Zhou, you can definitely make our factory an industry leader and a star enterprise like the Red Star Timber Factory. How about it? Come and work in our factory!"

Hua Shier didn't know what to say. He had already built up his business and the welfare housing in the factory was under construction. Oh, I don't want to stay in a star enterprise anymore. Why do I have to go to a soy sauce factory to suffer? Isn't this crazy?

Qu Xiuzhen guessed what Hua Twelve was thinking from his expression and said with a smile:
"Don't rush to refuse. Your achievements in the lumber mill are seen by everyone, but have you noticed that you are still the acting factory director?"

"Someone has taken your position!"

Qu Xiuzhen continued:
"It will be different if you come to our factory. You can be converted to a regular employee right away. I will be there to protect you. You can make drastic reforms like you did in the lumber factory. No one can take away the achievements you have made in our soy sauce factory!"

Hua Shier knew that Qu Xiuzhen might have heard some rumors and had good intentions, but he still refused because he was confident that he had the ability to deal with anyone who wanted to catch his attention.

Although Qu Xiuzhen felt sorry for Hua Shier's rejection, she did not feel any dissatisfaction. She also said that if he encountered difficulties in the future, he could ask her and Lao Ma for help. Although Lao Ma had not been completely rehabilitated, some old friends could still talk to him.

Two months passed in a blink of an eye. The superior talked to Hua Shier and said that the position of director of the timber factory had been vacant for a long time. S planned to transfer Deputy Director Xu of the chain factory to the timber factory as director.

As for Hua Twelve, he is still the deputy factory director in charge of logistics.

Hua Shier even laughed. This was really picking peaches, as the rights to production and sales were taken away.

He immediately expressed his respect for the decision and arrangement from above.

Factory Director Xu's name is Xu Erhe. When Hua Shier heard this name, he wanted to ask him if he had a younger brother named Sanduo.

On Xu Erhe's first day at work, he made three big moves as a new official. He slammed the table and said that the welfare housing plan was a waste and a loss of assets and must be stopped immediately.

Hua Twelve coughed lightly, took out the document signed with the construction company, and placed it in front of Xu Erhe:

"You can stop, but according to the contract, our factory has to pay the three construction companies double the amount of their losses. This is even more of a waste!"

The other factory leaders looked at the newcomer Xu Erhe with a half-smile, and the latter's face turned red, so the first fire did not start.

He tried to save face: "Then let them continue, but they can't build small Western-style buildings or residential buildings. There are only a few factories in the country that dare to waste as much as you do. I think it's fine to just build bungalows!"

All the leaders were unhappy with this, because they all had the benefit of housing allocation. If they renovated the bungalow area, it would still be a bungalow area after the renovation. Wouldn't it be a waste of time? Who would be happy about that?

Seeing the crowd's outcry, Xu Erhe immediately slammed the table:

"What kind of leaders are there in your factory? Do they still have any sense of organization and discipline?"

Hua Twelve stood up with the teacup in his hand: "Sorry, I'm still boiling soup at home, I'll go back and check the fire!"

After saying that, he left directly.

Sun Ganchao, Xiao Guoqing, and other leaders stood up and walked out with smiles on their faces.

Xu Erhe slammed the table and said, "You guys don't want to do this anymore, right?"

Before he even got off work, Xu Erhe's proposal to convert the high-rise buildings into bungalows spread throughout the factory, and thousands of people cursed him.

On Xu Erhe's way home from get off work, some worker got so angry that he put a sack on his back and beat him with a shovel. He was hospitalized on his first day as factory director. He had six broken ribs and his legs were broken.

Hua Twelve: Don’t look at me, my shovel is used to bury people!
Perhaps someone saw that Xu Erhe could not shake Hua Twelve's position in the timber factory, so when one plan failed, they came up with another. A few days later, an order was issued to transfer Hua Twelve to the soy sauce factory to be the director.

Qu Xiuzhen called that day and explained that she had just expressed to her superiors her intention to let Hua Twelve go to their factory, but this transfer had nothing to do with her and she respected Hua Twelve's personal wishes!
After hanging up the phone, Hua Shier laughed. This was an open conspiracy. Some people would be upset if they couldn't get the advantage of others. Do you really think that transferring him away will solve the problem? Just wait and see!

Thanks to: 08a, Sangengheshu10096, and Demon World Xiaoxiaohu for their rewards. Thanks to the brothers who voted for monthly tickets and recommendation tickets. Thank you very much.
