Brilliant Years 1991

Chapter 131 You met your match today!

This evening's meal was very enjoyable.

Firstly, Zhao Xiaolan's cooking skills were actually quite good. Secondly, maybe because they had been in contact more and more recently and had become more familiar with each other, Cao Yukun was able to get a lot of the information he wanted from her.

The next day was Saturday. At night, he drove the familiar van without anyone and entered the county government staff quarters.

In one night, he visited four houses.

For legitimate purposes, they were also the people he had often visited before. In fact, there was no need to bring any expensive gifts. When people arrived, they could just bring some small gifts, and the leaders would be very happy - after all, Cao Yukun was not an ordinary person. He was not the kind of person who asked them for benefits. Instead, he was the person who created profits and taxes and foreign trade results for the county. He was here for performance!

A bottle of wine and a bottle of perfume, and that’s it!

Whiskey, French wine, brandy, whatever, Chanel, etc., are just this category.

Anyway, when Cao Yukun came back from Hongkong, he checked in a lot of these things, and they were ready for today.

In fact, it is not worth much, but as long as it is brought back from Hongkong, from the British Empire, or from France, it is a high-end product, and everyone likes it. You can clearly tell me how much it is worth. I just came to see you. If you think it is not appropriate, you can give me money. I will regard it as a sale, and the leaders will laugh.

On the contrary, the last one was the second deputy secretary of the county, who was in charge of party building. He was not familiar with the other party, and he was very surprised that he suddenly came to the door. However, Cao Yukun just brought some seasonal fruits.

The total cost is just over four dollars.

But this leader seemed even happier than the other three.

Time quickly came to Monday. Huang Jiapeng was responsible for driving the Mercedes-Benz, and Cao Yukun came to the county government and entered the meeting room on the second floor of the county. As soon as he came in, he found that there were not many familiar faces there.

He was a rising star in the county, having made his fortune not long ago and had not mixed in the local boss circle. The two big bosses he was most familiar with, Song Hongxing and Xie Zhaofang, were all unanimously absent today, and even Song Yuhuai did not come. As for who came from the two families, Cao Yukun did not know them.

This made him a little disappointed.

He ran to Zhao Xiaolan's office to sit for a while, then went to the computer room to check on Xie Xiaoyu. When the meeting was about to start, he slowly walked into the conference room and sat down in the last row.

But at this moment, unexpectedly, a person suddenly stood up from the front row and ran straight to the back row.

Cao Yukun saw who it was and quickly stood up.

Huang Jiaying's father waved his hand and motioned him to sit down. Then, he came to Cao Yukun and sat down as well. He leaned his head over and asked in an indescribably amiable manner, "Ah Kun, did you and Jiaying have a fight?"

Cao Yukun quickly said, "Actually, we didn't quarrel. She was just angry with me! It's okay. It will be fine in a couple of days."

The old man raised his hand and touched his forehead, admonishing, "Don't quarrel, what are you quarreling about! When she came home yesterday, her mother and I scolded her. It was terrible. You are really powerful. You are always angry at this and that. How capable are you! I scolded her, don't be angry with her."

"Hey! Actually... it's my fault. Please don't scold her!"

The old man was happy now. He nodded and smiled like Maitreya Buddha. He patted Cao Yukun on the shoulder, stood up and walked back. This old man was famous for his good popularity in the county. Everyone thought he was honest, reliable, down-to-earth and steady, but Cao Yukun didn't dare to treat him as a good guy.

When you don't get to know her well, you might think Huang Jiaying's personality is probably like her mother's, with a temper like charcoal that explodes at the slightest provocation. But as you get to know her better over time, you'll slowly discover that in addition to her obvious quick temper, she is actually quite meticulous when she gets serious.

In this respect, she definitely takes after her father.

At around 9:50, the county leaders entered one after another and the meeting began.

The top leader, the second-in-command, the third-in-command, and of course, Han Shidong who was in charge of this area, Zhao Xiaolan, the county government's chief steward, and Zhang Fengxian, the director of the Light Industry Bureau, were all seated on the rostrum.

You speak for a while, he speaks for a while, and before you know it, more than twenty minutes have passed. But this is already very fast and efficient, because they also know that the people sitting in the audience at this time are the most powerful bosses in the county, and the bosses have always attached great importance to efficiency and compare time to life.

After the leader finished his speech, Zhang Fengxian, director of the county light industry bureau, soon took over and gave a speech, mainly introducing the current situation of the Huaguang Sock Factory in the county - in fact, it was nothing more than those items.

The factory has a good geographical location, close to the national highway and convenient transportation. It covers an area of ​​more than 60 acres, and the total construction area of ​​the factory, office building, warehouse, etc. is more than 30,000 square meters.

The factory has many advanced production equipment, vehicles, etc.

There are more than 300 employees.

The total amount of money owed for goods that has not yet been recovered is more than 3 million yuan, and the factory owes more than 4 million yuan to banks, suppliers, and transporters.

In short, this is the situation. The county can no longer operate the factory and has decided to respond to the national call to publicly sell this heavily indebted state-owned enterprise. The price the county has set for the sock factory is one million yuan.

Those who are willing to purchase must submit a bid within ten days.

It's not simply a matter of whoever bids the highest gets the job. Every bid must explain how you plan to run the sock factory after taking over in order to revitalize it and generate higher revenue. County leaders will hold a meeting to discuss and ultimately select the best plan.

Of course, the target is there and will not change. As long as you actively bid, it means you agree to the factory's bidding conditions, that is, debts, assets, and liabilities will all be packaged together, and employees must accept them all.

Zhang Fengxian quickly introduced the basic situation of the factory and the county's policies.

At this time, the county party secretary Zheng said with a smile: "I have finished reading the manuscript. The sock factory is familiar to all the bosses. I hope everyone will bid enthusiastically! Uh, is there any boss who wants to say a few words? Come on, come on, tell us what you think!"

Some people actually stood up immediately. I don't know if it was arranged in advance. In short, it was all empty talk and slogans. But after he finished speaking, the leaders were still very happy.

Secretary Zheng said a few more words, then turned his head and signaled to Zhang Fengxian, director of the Light Industry Bureau who was presiding over the meeting. It seemed that he was going to end the bidding introduction meeting, but at this time, Cao Yukun suddenly stood up.

He sat in the last row, and the bosses in front of him and the representatives of various companies basically didn't notice him. But he was tall, and when he stood up, the people on the podium saw him the first time.

Zhang Fengxian from the Light Industry Bureau had just raised his buttocks and was bending over. He looked up in surprise. Secretary Zheng was very happy to see Cao Yukun. "Oh, I see General Manager Cao has stood up. Many of you may not know General Manager Cao yet. This is the general manager of our county's Shimen Beverage Factory, Cao Yukun! General Manager Cao, do you have anything to say? Talk about it, talk about it, you are a rising star in our county! Talk about it!"

In the conference room, there was a sudden sound of chairs rubbing against the ground and hitting each other, and everyone turned around to look at the influential figure in the county in the past two months.

Cao Yukun smiled, and was no longer as timid as he was when he first walked into Song Yuhuai's office. Not only was he not timid, he even had an arrogant attitude at this moment.

"Secretary Zheng, leaders, I am not here today on behalf of the beverage factory. I am here on behalf of the Hongkong Yiren Group. Of course, that is also my company. The person who was sent here made a mistake when filling out the information."

"I don't actually have much to say today. If I have to say anything, there's only one thing!"

"I agree with the bidding for this sock factory. From now on, no matter if it's a county enterprise or any other enterprise, I have no objection to whoever buys this sock factory! I will participate in the bidding, but if someone offers better conditions and plans than me, I won't be angry at all if I lose to them!"

"I am convinced!"

"But only..."

Cao Yukun suddenly raised his hand and pointed to the left corner of the front row of the conference room. There was also a fat man who turned his head to look at him. His name was Feng Yanghao. He was the director of the sock factory in recent years. "As long as it's that son of a bitch Feng Yanghao and the two shell companies he prepared, as long as they win the bid! Then I will definitely not agree! I will definitely not accept it! I will definitely sue!"

Everyone in the conference room was stunned for a moment.

Everyone sitting on the rostrum spoke one after another, and everyone couldn't help but frown.

As for Feng Yanghao, the current director of the sock factory, who was specifically named and called a "son of a bitch" by Cao Yukun, his eyes widened at this time. It was hard to tell whether he was horrified or frightened, he just stared at Cao Yukun in amazement.

"I don't have any information or evidence. That's not my responsibility. That's the responsibility of the Economic Investigation Division and the Procuratorate. But as long as the incident I mentioned happens, Feng Yanghao, including that son of a bitch I beat up, I will definitely fight you all!"

"Others may be afraid of you, but I am not! Others may be afraid of offending you, but I am not! Others may be afraid of you making things difficult for them, but I am still not afraid! I am determined to fight against you, the bastards who deliberately ruined the company, made it insolvent, and then bought it in the name of acquisition to make yourselves rich!"

"Also... in the past one or two months, my factory has sent people out to settle the bills for the officials at various hotels more than 20 times! I treated 20 friends to a big meal and it only cost 400 yuan, but this group of people, including food and takeout, a meal cost more than 1,000 yuan!"

"But, it doesn't matter. Let's just consider it as making friends. From now on, if anyone dares to come to my factory again... I'm talking about the Light Industry Bureau, the Fire Department, and the Health and Epidemic Prevention Department! I welcome the county government to come to the factory to inspect and guide our work, but if they deliberately find fault and always ask my accountant to settle the bill, no one will have a good life if this kind of shit happens again! I, Cao Yukun, have nothing else but courage, money, and friends!"

"If you dare to play tricks on me in the county, I will make sure you lose your job!"

"Director Zhang, are you furious? I'm saying this to you today! And you damn Feng Yanghao, you've been the factory director for a few years, you must be fat enough, right? Do you still want to eat the bones? No one dares to mess with you, right? Today you've met your match, I'm here to mess with you!"

…………

"Nonsense! You are nonsense!"

The meeting was about to end, but with Cao Yukun's criticism, it naturally could not continue. On and off the stage, countless people were frightened by Cao Yukun's audacity!

Where is this? China!
Who is the most powerful here? The official!
Not to mention anything else, just last year, there was a big discussion all over the country, considering whether to ban private enterprises. It was after the Southern Tour that the wind direction was completely changed. But even so, as a private boss, you only have a limited amount of money. Once it comes to the officials, almost everyone will back down immediately!

Yet, someone actually dared to directly criticize the Light Industry Bureau for taking bribes at a meeting of this level, and criticized the sock factory director Feng Yanghao for using the factory to enrich himself, and criticized Feng Yanghao and the Finance Bureau director Zhang Weimin as being birds of the same feather, and even revealed the unspoken rule that everyone knew, that is, that the sock factory had actually been internally given to a shell company owned by Feng Yanghao!
It's totally out of this world!
The meeting was soon declared over, and none of the leaders, big and small, on the stage looked happy.

As soon as Secretary Zheng walked out of the meeting room, he turned around and ordered Zhao Xiaolan to call Cao Yukun to his office. Then, of course, he was met with a storm of wind and rain.

"In a meeting like this, you publicly criticized a director by name, accused a factory director of corruption, and even implicated Zhang Weimin. What are you trying to do? This is nonsense! This is sheer nonsense!"

“There is no organization or discipline!”

"Don't think you are not in the system! If you are not in the system, then you don't follow the rules? What evidence do you have? How dare you accuse government officials in public like this? Even insult them?"

"Even if you have evidence, can't you talk about it in private? For example, when the person from the Light Industry Bureau asked your factory to reimburse him for his meal, why didn't he come to me to resolve it normally? Why did he have to talk about it in public at a meeting like this?"

"Do you know how bad this will be? Huh? Do you know?"

However, at this time, the second in command, who was sitting on the sofa at the side, just looked at Cao Yukun seriously with a playful look in his eyes and even a little smile at the corners of his lips. Even Zhao Xiaolan, the director of the county government office, who was standing at the door, seemed to have come to her senses at this time and couldn't help but stare at him.

After the leader vented for a while and gradually calmed down, Cao Yukun laughed twice like a child who had done something wrong and said, "Leader, I'm just afraid that Feng Yanghao, that bastard, is too unruly! I want to buy a sock factory..."

"You're talking nonsense!"

Secretary Zheng turned around and was about to continue his criticism, but his words suddenly changed in tone. "Is this still a sock factory matter? If what you said is true, this will be a major corruption case! Even if you are just making up stories, you have said so. With so many people at the meeting, how can the county not react? This must be thoroughly investigated no matter what!"

"you……"

At this moment, someone knocked on the door. Zhao Xiaolan opened the door immediately and saw the third in command of the county, the leader in charge of party building, pushing the door open. He smiled and said, "Oh, Secretary Zheng, you are really scolding someone. Your voice is too loud. The whole corridor can hear it! Children should be taught a lesson when they make mistakes! But he is a big entrepreneur after all, so give him some face!"

Secretary Zheng sighed, not knowing whether it was true or not. He turned around to look at the second-in-command, thought for a moment, and pointed at Zhao Xiaolan, "Take him out first. We need to have a small meeting!"

He glared at Cao Yukun again, "My Mr. Cao, you are already 19 years old and have made a fortune! Even if you are a big boss at Shang Beach, you have to be addressed as Mr. Kun when you see me! You should behave yourself!"

"Hey, hey, I get it, Secretary Zheng, calm down, calm down, blame me, blame me!"

"Get out! Get out, get out, we have a meeting!"

So Cao Yukun nodded to the second in command, turned around and nodded to the third in command who was still standing at the door, then he acted like a good kid and walked out of Zhao Xiaolan's door in shame.
