Brilliant Years 1991

Chapter 120 This guy is pretending

Money solves eighty percent of problems...at least for now.

Let’s suppress it first.

As for Hongkong, it is now basically possible to have a batch of goods arrive within three days, and each batch is as high as 1000 tons. Distribution, sales and payment collection are all smooth sailing. It even seems that with this selling method, the market potential has not yet been fully tapped - how can problems in production affect the market?

Not only that, after lunch, he returned to his office and stayed for a while. He only called Huang Jiaying and the head of the personnel department together to tell them the main principles of the next evaluation. He didn't even have time to spend some time alone with Huang Jiaying. He just gave her a look and went out again.

I've been away for more than a month and now I'm back, so of course I have to take a quick walk first.

Go home, come to the factory, and visit the government.

In Cao Yukun's mind, these three steps must be prioritized over other things.

Since late June, the beverage factory has begun to speed up production. In July, the beverage factory has been recruiting workers on a large scale. The news of booming production and transportation has long been widely known in the county. Moreover, the orders are mainly for foreign trade, so the county naturally pays attention to it. During the more than one month that Cao Yukun has been away from home, several important leaders of the county have come to inspect the factory and praised it highly.

It is reasonable for Cao Yukun to report his thoughts to his superiors after his return.

The big Mercedes drove directly to the front of the county government's office building. Cao Yukun, dressed in trousers and a short-sleeved shirt, walked upstairs. As usual, he knocked on Director Zhao Xiaolan's door first.

It turned out that she was not in the office.

However, the county government, especially the small teams led by Zhao Xiaolan, basically knew him. When they heard the noise in the next room, someone came out to take a look, and then quickly let him go to the office. But before he could pour the water, Zhao Xiaolan came back, her footsteps hurried, and she was a little out of breath. "Just now on the fourth floor, I saw a big Mercedes-Benz drive in, and then I saw you get out of the car, so I knew you had to come to me first!"

She seemed very happy and encouraged. She had taken the initiative to bring Cao Yukun to meet the leaders, or had asked Cao Yukun to report to her first whenever he came to the county government. In short, everyone in the county government knew that Cao Yukun was someone on her line, which was very important for a county government leader.

Especially now, the more successful Cao Yukun's business is, the more important Zhao Xiaolan's voice and the importance of her speech in all county meetings related to business, foreign trade, etc. become.

Of course, I treated him more and more like a very good friend, and we talked and laughed without restraint.

So in front of other staff members, she casually asked, "Changed to a Mercedes?"

This guy is pretending, "I have no choice, a friend insisted on giving it to me! In Shanghai, my friend who does foreign trade made a lot of money with me, and he got a new model Mercedes-Benz and gave it to me. I can't refuse it!"

Even hypocritically, "Actually, the big bread I used to sit on was pretty good. It could run and pull!"

Zhao Xiaolan laughed, took the thermos bottle, sent the staff away, and poured water for Cao Yukun herself, "The Mercedes-Benz is still the best. Driving, looking at, and sitting in it are all refreshing! Your business is really getting bigger and bigger, and it's getting more and more prosperous. You are a real big boss. I heard that you can produce more than 10,000 tons in July?"

After receiving Cao Yukun's affirmative answer, she smiled even more brightly, "I should take a Mercedes-Benz!"

After pouring the water, she sat down next to Cao Yukun and said with a smile, "This is all foreign trade. You are the first company in our county that is all foreign trade. If you can do this for the next six months, the county's foreign trade report card will be much better this year! I will be proud in front of the leaders."

Cao Yukun's current state in front of women and girls is almost smooth talk, and he will add, "I don't care what others think, but it's good as long as you are happy!"

Zhao Xiaolan was a little surprised and stunned for a moment. She glanced at him sideways, but she didn't say much. Instead, she immediately changed the slightly ambiguous topic and asked when he came back, how the sales data was in Hongkong, how long he planned to stay this time, when he would go to Hongkong again, and so on.

After chatting for about ten minutes, she stood up on her own initiative and said, "Wait a moment, I'll go see if the leader is free!" Cao Yukun agreed, and she stood up and walked out. Cao Yukun took the opportunity to collapse on the sofa and watched her round buttocks sway as her uniform pants were stretched tight.

As if she had sensed something, she turned around and glanced at Cao Yukun before leaving.

Although he was caught on the spot, Cao Yukun was not embarrassed and smiled at her. She couldn't help but glared at Cao Yukun and then closed the door.

Three minutes later, he came back, "Come on!"

Along the way, he leaned closer and whispered, "The leaders actually like you very much. I can't tell you exactly how they like you. You can figure it out for yourself later and find the right attitude. It would be best if the leaders like you more!"

When he met the leader, Cao Yukun quickly figured out what was going on.

It was nothing too complicated. The leader was very happy and entertained him warmly. He even took out some fine tea that was said to be a treasure and made tea for him himself. During the chat, Cao Yukun quickly figured out the whole thing.

The leader really likes me.

He sat there for a full half hour before coming out, and then went to the second-in-command, who also liked him very much.

Then I went to the permanent deputy chief, and I understood more and more. So when I returned to Zhao Xiaolan's office, Cao Yukun said, "It may be because I am young. The private entrepreneurs in the county who have achieved some success are at least 30 years old, and most of them are in their 40s or 50s. I am the only one who is only 19 years old! I made mistakes in the county before, and I was stupid in doing things! So the leaders don't seem to hate me, but treat me like a child..."

Zhao Xiaolan showed an admiring expression and added, "I treat you as my nephew!"

At this point, she picked up the cup in front of Cao Yukun, poured the cold water into the trash can, and poured another cup for Cao Yukun herself. Then she said, "Everyone knows that you are a fool who hits people when they disagree with you, but you are so capable in business, and the leaders like you very much, which makes them proud. Think about it, what kind of person is this? Isn't it just your own naughty child? ... But you deserve this love!"

This was something I hadn't thought of before coming here.

However, the factory is in Fuping, and now the county leaders like me, which is of course better.

"By the way, Sister Xiaolan, several leaders have mentioned that I should also participate in the bidding for the Huaguang Socks Factory. What's going on? The socks factory has officially closed down?"

"Hey, the boss asked you to participate, so just participate. Don't take it seriously. I don't want to get involved in this matter! The factory... Sigh, even if it hasn't closed down, it's only got its last breath left!"

Cao Yukun nodded slowly after hearing this.

It was pretty much what he expected - when he was in Shanghai, and even until he was in Hongkong, Cao Yukun was thinking about the factory's management issues. So, he didn't know why, but at some point, he suddenly remembered Zhang Youguang, the former director of the county's Huaguang Socks Factory.

This person is obviously capable.

If I could dig him over and give him a try, perhaps he could help me straighten out the production and management of the beverage factory - but I guess that's unlikely, as he is still the director of the Huguan Township Civil Affairs Office!

I chatted with Comrade Lao Cao after dinner last night, and Cao Yukun asked a few questions intentionally or unintentionally.

It is said that just last month, the county once considered re-employing Zhang Youguang and letting him return to the sock factory. Later, for some unknown reason, the leaders held a meeting and eventually abandoned him.

There were a few companies that contacted him, hoping that he could go over and take care of some things, but he refused almost without hesitation - during the past few months in Huguan Township, his relationship with his father seemed to be pretty good. According to his father, he said in person that he now wanted to work peacefully in the Civil Affairs Office until retirement.

But when I thought of him, I thought of the sock factory. As a result, when he was in Shanghai before, whether with Hu Zihong or Wang Tingfang, Cao Yukun suddenly discovered that the types of socks currently sold in the country are actually quite simple. So, he suddenly became interested.

When doing business, if you can see for sure that the future is bright, it is normal to grab it. If it succeeds, it succeeds. If it doesn't, forget it - anyway, it's right in front of you and it doesn't take much trouble.

Coincidentally, this time I came back just in time for the sock factory to be sold!
However, since the matter involves state-owned enterprises, even if they are state-owned enterprises in townships, they are still state-owned enterprises, so it seems that there are indeed many complicated things involved.

After chatting with Director Zhao Xiaolan for a while and finding out more about the situation, Cao Yukun gradually understood what was going on - it was impossible for Zhao Xiaolan to be so transparent, but she still got the general idea across.

Although it is going to be auctioned, the sock factory actually already has an owner.

The auction is just a process.

Behind this, there is a deputy chief's drive, and no one wants to offend him.

"Okay, I understand what's going on!"

Seeing that it was almost five o'clock, Cao Yukun stood up and said, "Sister Xiaolan, I'm leaving!"

Zhao Xiaolan didn't seem to mean to stop him, but she didn't stand up. She just looked up with a half-smile on her face, "I say... you've been so busy... have you forgotten something?"

"Ah? What's going on?"

Cao Yukun pretended to be confused even though he knew the truth. When Zhao Xiaolan gave him a sidelong look, he pulled out a chocolate bar from his pocket with a smile, "Are you talking about this?"

Zhao Xiaolan couldn't help laughing. She stood up, snatched it away, and shook it. "Are you sending me away just like that?"

Cao Yukun laughed twice. To be honest, he felt quite embarrassed. He had been so busy recently that the dinner he had promised had been delayed for more than a month. "I've got it in mind! I won't forget! Tomorrow night?"

She also laughed, "Okay! Then let's do it tomorrow night... Go ahead, go on a date first! Xiaoyu must be waiting for you impatiently now!"

Ah...she is clicking on me.

But, if you know, then know. I didn’t hide it from anyone.
