Agricultural giant since 1983

Chapter 179
"The province has also signed up for me. Maybe we can go to the capital for a meeting after a while!" The brothers of the Liu family have obtained this qualification, and Li Lei can naturally get it too.

"This is a good thing. First, it shows that the country has begun to face up to the influence of our farmers and entrepreneurs! Second, that people like us can be selected, which shows that the country still supports the private economy. Otherwise, how can we get our turn? It must be given to all of us." The leaders of those communes, brigades and collective enterprises!"

This is a small sign, marking that private enterprises have officially entered the national stage. Before that, township entrepreneurs were only rich, but their political status was not high. No one valued them wherever they went. Now it is different. , can enter the great hall to accept the commendation, and they can stand up straight when they come back.

Of course, this is just the beginning, and now the state does not give them too high a status. There are indeed some township entrepreneurs who will join the CPPCC and become representatives of the National People's Congress in the future, but these people may have the same prestige as Lu Guanqiu. As a party member, or like Wu Renbao of Huaxi Village, he was shortlisted as the leader of a commune and brigade enterprise, and it is difficult for pure private entrepreneurs to enter.

By the way, the name "entrepreneur" has just been introduced. Peter Drucker, the father of modern management, published the classic "Innovation and Entrepreneurship" in 1985.

In this book, he pointed out with great foresight that the United States has entered the era of entrepreneurs, and enterprises and entrepreneurs are becoming the source of power for the development of the American economy, and the name entrepreneur has quickly become popular in developed countries such as Europe, America and Japan This trend entered China with the opening of the country, and began to gradually replace the old titles such as factory director and manager, and became a new title for business managers.

This time, when the Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Husbandry and Fisheries was preparing to select [-] outstanding business managers nationwide for commendation, it followed this upsurge and named the honor in the name of farmers and entrepreneurs.

"We are not the only ones shortlisted around Chengdu. Zhou Deru, the director of Shuangliu High-frequency Welded Pipe Factory, was also selected. He is the leader of the collective enterprise, as you said! I also know about the candidates in other provinces. Although there are not many bosses, there are indeed!" Liu Yongxing said after a moment of recollection.

"According to what you said, this is indeed a good sign! We must seize this opportunity and go to the capital to win this honor!" Liu Yongyan said.

In his heart, although he has made a fortune in these years, he is still a little worried, always worried that one day the wind will suddenly change, and if he can win this honor now, it can be used as a talisman to some extent, right?

"Yonghao, it's still the same as before. You go to the capital to receive this honor on behalf of us, and you will discuss with Li Lei more when you encounter problems." According to the division of labor, Liu Yonghao will do all the communication work, even if it is After receiving the honor, the other brothers didn't mean to be greedy.

"I should ask Brother Chao for advice." Li Lei said a few words politely, and then agreed. There must not be many private business owners going to the capital this time, and they have to take care of each other.

Zhou Deru, whom Liu Yongyan just mentioned, is also well-known in later generations. During the period when the country retreated and the people advanced, he complied with the context of historical development, and soon completed the restructuring of the Shuangliu high-frequency welded pipe factory, realizing absolute control over the enterprise, and will It has developed into a large enterprise involved in many fields such as metallurgy, medicine, commerce and real estate.

At the beginning of its establishment, the High Frequency Group was only a small-scale township enterprise, but thanks to Zhou Deru's operation, it actually won the construction and operation rights of the western section of the Chengdu Ring Expressway.

Zhou Deru served as the managing director of the joint venture company Chengdu Raoxi Expressway Company at that time, and started a series of crazy operations: bypassing bidding, illegal related transactions, and taking loans against regulations. In just a few years, he took advantage of the barbaric era Defects have amassed enormous wealth.

However, he still failed to escape the law. Zhou Deru was sentenced to 7 years in prison for misappropriating funds and falsely reporting registered capital. During the sentence, he also mentioned that many of the embezzled funds were lost in overseas gambling. I believe he heard Many people breathed a sigh of relief when they said this.

But this is not the end. Like Xiaoguo, he issued a false medical certificate without paying much, and applied for medical parole.went straight home.

Later, when the incident happened, he was imprisoned again, and the one who helped him with the procedures for medical parole was unlucky. Zhou Deru was only imprisoned for seven years, and he was directly imprisoned for 12 years; although he deserved it, it is not worth comparing with Zhou Deru.

After staying in Chengdu for a few days, Li Lei returned to Heyang. The time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the ripe season of hawthorn. Snacks such as jams and hawthorn rolls were successfully sold to Europe and Japan.

He earned a lot of foreign exchange for Luxiang City, Li Lei made money, Xing Shuwang was commended by his superiors for this, and he gained a firm foothold in Luxiang.

Other companies may be distressed by the lost foreign exchange, but Li Lei doesn't care much. He has reaped a bumper harvest in the international futures market, which doesn't even have a fraction of the foreign exchange in the futures market.

Perisic also got the bonus he deserved as he wished. When the apricot harvest is bumper next year, he can take the second bonus back to France to retire.

There was also a small episode during the period. After other places rich in hawthorn learned that hawthorn can be exchanged for foreign exchange, they immediately mobilized all their contacts to inquire, and finally found out that Ma Tianyou helped them to open the export, so they immediately ran to the Special Economic Zone, wanting to use more The low price steals the business.

Ma Tianyou didn't directly refuse, but asked them to complete the food safety inspection. Now they were blinded, and they didn't know where to find the inspection agency, so this matter came to an end for the time being. After all, only a small number of people can use the business model, and they lack the access to understand this information, let alone operate it.

At this time, Li Lei proposed to buy their hawthorns. They had no better way to deal with them. In addition, the state also supports enterprises that can earn foreign exchange, so a truckload of hawthorns was shipped in and processed in Luxiang. Exporting to Europe, Japan and the United States, Li Lei's food processing factory made another fortune.

After all these things are done, it will be the Spring Festival. Li Lei held the annual meeting as usual, which made everyone have a good time. All branches are proudly reporting their achievements. Agricultural machinery factories, feed factories, farms, food The processing plants have all achieved profitability, but the breeding base has not yet seen any benefits.

However, He Zhanhai is much calmer than last year. After staying with Professor Xiong and Commissioner Liu, he finally realized that breeding is a long-term work, and now although he can't produce good breeds comparable to Hailan layer hens and Hubei white pigs , but he is not without gains.

The breeding base has accumulated a large amount of data, trained a group of highly skilled talents, and the breeds bred have improved a lot compared to last year. If it continues to operate like this, one day it will finally produce excellent breeds that satisfy Li Lei.

After the annual meeting, I went to visit the people who should be visited one by one. Professor Shu is one year older, and his retirement is getting closer. After he retires, he can go to work in the breeding center. With his experience, Presumably He Zhanhai's research progress can be accelerated a lot.

Although many branch companies have made money at present, and it is not a small amount of money, what Li Lei values ​​most is the breeding center, which is the fundamental factor that determines whether his own business can grow, and how big it can be.

After all this work, Li Lei was finally able to relax and spent a good year at home, but his parents started urging them to have children again. After Li Lei asked Yu Jingshu for her opinion, she began to prepare for pregnancy.

In his last life, he delayed getting married and having children because he couldn't afford to buy a house or pay for his children to go to school. Now that these problems don't exist, it's a matter of course to have children, and he doesn't plan to just have one, he must Two, a son and a daughter are the best.

He has already moved his household registration back to the countryside. According to relevant regulations, one of the rural couples is an only child, and if they only have one child, they can have a second child. Li Lei happens to be an only child. To meet this requirement, it is completely in line with the regulations to have two children .

Maybe Yu Jingshu's work will be affected, but this year her travel notes introducing life in Western countries have been published, and the sales are not bad, and her writing ability has also been exercised. Even without the impact of this incident, she plans to quit her job and become full-time writer.

After the beginning of the new year, Li Lei first went to the Special Economic Zone, sent Wang Shi 100 million in cash as agreed, and successfully obtained Vanke's shares. In fact, Wang Shi's funding gap was far more than 100 million, but considering the issue of company control, Wang Shi I didn't continue to ask him for it. It was too dangerous to concentrate a large amount of equity on one person.

So he would rather work hard to find someone to help, but also to ensure that the company is owned by himself, and at the same time he is going to change the name of the company.

When they were discussing the new name, Li Lei happened to be present, so he witnessed the whole process of the birth of the name Vanke.

Wang Shi originally liked the name Hyundai, but considering that there is already a Hyundai in Korea, he had to give up with regret.

The English name of Shenzhen Modern Enterprise Co., Ltd. is "Shenzhen Modern Enterprise Company", and the abbreviation is "MEC". The discussion finally focused on how to extend the new name from the three initials, so as to have continuity with the original name.

Someone suggested that we simply use this "MEC", but this is somewhat similar to the Japanese "NEC", and the pronunciation of "MEC" is too similar to the hero Mike of the hit series "The Man from the Atlantic". You can't let others think of the protagonist of the series when they hear the name of the company, right?
In addition, the word "ke" does not sound loud, so some people considered changing the company name to "Maike", but "Maike" in Cantonese means "very black". If someone asks about the company's name , the company has become a "special black company".

After discussion and discussion, Pan Yiyong, an employee who graduated from Shenzhen University majoring in English, thought of the name "Vanke"—since "Marlboro" can be translated as "Marlboro", then our company also starts with M. Why can't the company's name be called "Vanke"? "Woolen cloth?

Thus the name Vanke was born. Who would have thought that such a famous name would be born in such a ridiculous way?

After a while, Li Lei arrived in the Special Economic Zone again, because Wang Shi told him that Shenzhen Development Development Co., Ltd. had begun to issue original shares. Sure enough, as in history, these stocks were hardly bought. Li Lei bought a lot of original shares without much effort. Of course, he bought them through formal channels, and he also received a shareholder certificate, which reduced many hidden dangers.

In 2007, a man named Wei Xihua accidentally found 100 shares of SDB preferred shares when he was cleaning up his father's belongings, which his father had bought when he was working in the Special Economic Zone.

At this time, these stocks were worth tens of millions. However, because he did not have a shareholder certificate and missed the redemption announcement in 1995, the court finally ruled that Shenzhen Development Bank should distribute dividends before 1992, and rejected other claims. Suddenly there were only a few thousand yuan left.

Therefore, even if you buy the original stock, you don’t have to just lie at home and wait for the money to be collected. You have to pay attention to the changes of Shenzhen Development Bank at any time and complete the operation according to the announcement, otherwise you will miss out on massive wealth.

Of course, Li Lei didn't need to worry about these things at all. He bought these original shares in the name of New Century Company. Naturally, with the help of Ma Tianyou's professionals, he would not make such low-level mistakes.

After returning to the Central Plains, the apricot season is coming. Li Lei stayed in Luxiang to supervise them to complete the purchase, processing and sales.

A lot of troubles happened during this period, for example, some people wanted to monopolize the apricots in a certain area, and then sold them at a high price, for example, some farmers wanted to sell inferior apricots, and when they were exposed, they acted badly.

Obviously, these people have found the wrong person. The city and even the province are looking forward to the processing factory's early export of apricot jam in exchange for precious foreign exchange.

As a result, several well-known Jianghu heroes in Luxiang tasted the power of an iron fist, and completed the work of arresting and sentencing as quickly as possible. I wonder if any of them secretly buried a box of BP machines, and exchanged money for pensions when they come out. If there are, their expressions must be very funny.

All the heroes of the rivers and lakes went in to peel the garlic, and the remaining ones dared not play tricks. The food factory successfully completed the acquisition task, and soon completed the processing and export task.

After the last foreign exchange was credited to the account, Perisic happily went home with a generous bonus for retirement. Li Lei also took the train to Beijing with the representatives of the Central Plains Province, preparing to participate in this year's National Excellent Farmer Entrepreneur Award General Assembly.

Compared with the excited Liu Yonghao, Li Lei looked very calm, because he knew that the protagonist of this meeting was not Liu Yonghao, nor him, but another group of people.

Among them, the most beautiful one sits in the front row, but this is not the pinnacle of his life, and there will be more glorious times in the future.
