1988: Back to the human world for a few years

Chapter 490: Do some real hard work?

This year-end work meeting of Dezhou Urban Property Fund Company, which was somewhat unknown to outsiders, lasted much longer than anyone expected.

It drove from nine in the morning to six in the afternoon, excluding the one-hour lunch break, a total of eight hours.

Whether in terms of the size, level, and authority of the participants, or in terms of the duration of the meeting, the areas of communication and interpretation involved, and the sensitivity of the content, this meeting that lasted a whole day could almost be called a "conference";
Everyone believes that if today's topic was not limited to the scope of "industrial upgrading", and provincial and municipal leaders could only inquire about the funding channels and investment ideas of the big fund, this could almost be regarded as the DZ City Annual Work Plan Discussion Meeting held in advance at halftime... Of course, if the Urban Construction Fund Company also included urban construction work in the communication agenda today, it would not be "halftime" but "most of the time".

By the time the meeting was over, it was already dark outside.

The night wind that hurts people's faces, the dim yellow street lights, the empty stomach, and the dizzy head are not really a very pleasant experience.

But this did not prevent everyone from looking at the young man who was walking in the front with Kuai Hua, and the fat guy who was accompanying Li Bo after they had kept a slight distance, with awe.

No, it's more like fear than awe.

No one could have imagined that a company that had nothing to do with itself would be so well aware of the actual situation of its own field and even its own company, and even understand what its own company should do and when better than itself.

It is a desperate and powerless fear.

Everyone felt a chill down their spine when they thought that the other party had used the abundant information, solid accounting knowledge and highly insightful professional capabilities provided by the boundless tentacles derived from a good mass base to expose the true face of their company.

It is difficult for others to understand this feeling unless they are involved.

At this moment, almost everyone remembered the fear of being dominated by the classroom, and they were the elementary school student who was doing tricks under the desk;

The Urban Property Fund Company is the teacher who stands on the podium with a teaching stick in his hand, taking his own complacency and all his ideas into account.

Childish, clumsy, immature.

Almost everyone gave such an evaluation to their previous thoughts.

In fact, the 11 industry research and investment reports and project feasibility analyses presented at the meeting today, although stripping them of all their clothes, also benefited them greatly.

China has never lacked smart people or capable men, but China is currently in a state of feeling its way forward, and what it lacks is a systematic and relatively comprehensive framework.

Therefore, one can imagine the shock that the detailed, comprehensive and outrageous reports presented today by the "fund managers" of the Urban Development Fund Company, who are composed of the backbones of various units and headed by a certain fat man, have had on them.

After overcoming some cognitive barriers, they felt a hint of excitement and heat in their bones. Many people looked at the young man walking in the front, and then looked at You Yakun who was a little behind. The expressions in their eyes gradually changed...

………………

"Boss Yang, speaking of which, I haven't had the time to take a closer look at your company since it went public. How about I trouble you, my host, to introduce it to me... and sober me up together?"

After watching Kuai Hua and Li Bo's car drive away with a humble smile on his face, a familiar voice suddenly came from beside Yang Mo.

When he turned around, he saw You Yakun, whose face was already a little red.

Slightly surprised, Yang Mo glanced at the deputy squad leader, who was drunk but not at all. After thinking for a while, he laughed, "Since Mayor You has such a refined taste, as the host, I will naturally follow his lead."

After saying that, he glanced at the other guests who were greeting each other but had not yet gotten into the car to leave, took a half step back, and stretched out his left hand: "Please."

Seeing this, You Yakun laughed and signaled the secretary behind him not to follow him. Then he also extended his hand: "Boss Yang, you are the host, please go first."

Yang Mo showed a smile that met everyone's expectations: "It is better to obey than to be respectful, You Shi, then I will be presumptuous."

After that, he walked towards the gate of the Urban Property Fund Company at a leisurely pace: "DZ City Urban Property Fund Company was established on December 1990, 12, covering an area of ​​20 acres;"

“主要固定资产包括一栋18层办公大楼、4栋6层员工宿舍楼，4个综合仓库，以及2栋后勤保障楼；”

"Of course, in order to ensure the physical and mental health of employees, we also have two basketball courts, a tennis court, and a small park corner for relaxation... Here, on behalf of the Urban Property Fund Company, I have to thank the city for its attention and care, and for considering us so carefully at the beginning of site selection."

"What you are seeing now, Youshi, is the basketball court of our Urban Property Fund Company."

As he spoke, Yang Mo glanced at the dozen young figures still active on the court in the cold wind under the yellow street lights, and smiled a little ashamedly: "To be honest, the company has been listed for half a month, and this is the first time for me, the general manager, to visit the basketball court. I am not familiar with the road and I went the wrong way. Mayor You, please don't laugh at me."

You Yakun laughed: "This just shows that you, Mr. Yang, have put all your energy into your work. In other words, you are a cadre of a central enterprise. If you were in our administrative system, the city would be embarrassed if you were not rated as advanced for this kind of work attitude!"

As he spoke, he sighed with deep emotion: "But I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, Mr. Yang. I'm not that strong. Just a few days ago, I went back to the dormitory at night and went to the wrong door... If the old comrade from the city wasn't staying in the room, I probably wouldn't be able to explain it after I got home!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Mo burst into laughter.

He didn't think that You Yakun was making up a story. Such gossip could be known by just asking. As the other party's deputy squad leader, there was no need for him to make up such gossip.

In fact, this little situation, which seems like a cold joke in later generations, is not uncommon in recent years.

Drastic changes and endless unexpected incidents have resulted in people in more important positions being busier from morning till night. Some people may not even be able to rest for a day or two throughout the year, and have not even had a complete tour of the community. For a deputy squad leader like You Yakun, who had been parachuted into Texas for less than a month, it was not a very strange thing for him to go to the wrong house late at night without a secretary to lead the way.

Of course, this cannot be ruled out as a small piece of information that was specially made for show;

But since the other person wants to emphasize his character of "working wholeheartedly and serving the people wholeheartedly" in front of him, Yang Mo naturally has to give him enough face and cooperate with him.

Seeing Yang Mo laughing heartily, laughing with empathy, laughing with sighs, and laughing without any sense of reluctance, You Yakun's eyes flickered for a moment, but he suddenly changed the subject: "Xiao Yang, although I have explained it very clearly at the meeting today, I still want to ask... Can't your company give priority to injecting funds to support the steel structure project of Dezhou Steel Plant?"

Yang Mo was not surprised when the other party suddenly changed the subject to business. From the moment the other party proposed the tour, he knew that the other party must have something he wanted to talk to him about.

However, the rather informal name "Xiao Yang" surprised him. He was not from the administrative system, and today was his home court, so the relationship between the two sides was not very harmonious.

and so……

Xiao Yang?

Is this a private name, or is it intended to emphasize the public utility function that urban real estate fund companies cannot conceal?

There is a huge difference between the two.

Seeing that Yang Mo did not answer immediately, You Yakun misunderstood something and frowned slightly: "I know that steel structure manufacturing projects are asset-heavy and have low gross profits."

"Moreover, Dezhou has a special geographical location. Not only is the Quancheng Steel Plant, a provincial key leading enterprise, located more than 100 kilometers away, but half of the newly planned DZ City is located in Hebei... Whether it is Quancheng Steel Plant or Hebei, the steel production capacity scale and even smelting technology are not comparable to Dezhou Steel Plant;"

"But the problem is that your company's research report also mentioned that although steel structure products have various shortcomings, they also have the advantages of a short payment cycle and a more stable overall return on investment compared to similar products;"

"The steel structure project proposed by the city is not focused on the Dezhou Steel Plant, but on the project itself. Half of our new urban area spans the border with Hebei Province, so to some extent, we have lower procurement costs than most areas in the country... You should know the strategic significance of steel itself, and you are also clear about the characteristics of the steel products market. As long as the scale is increased, it should not be difficult to imagine the driving force and feedback it can generate for the overall industrial upgrading of Dezhou."

At this point, You Yakun's face began to become serious: "So, I need to ask one last time... Xiao Yang, can't the priority support level of this steel structure project be raised a little bit?"

It is obvious that the city proposed this project because it has taken a fancy to steel structure products, which have broad potential in the steel structure construction market and prefabricated construction fields, large steel usage per unit, large scale of capital recovery, and fast capital recovery speed. The city wants to use it as a capital attraction point to bring in a large amount of cash flow and resource flow to the city in the short term, thereby promoting the development of other industries.

In fact, for a super asset-heavy project like this, after the Urban Real Estate Fund Company has made it clear that it will not inject capital into it as a key support project for the time being, the city should not bring up the old matter again for emotional and logical reasons;
However, the analysis of the huge market demand for steel structure products overseas, especially the huge demand and potential in the field of prefabricated buildings, at the meeting today suddenly attracted You Yakun's attention... This is a market size so huge that it makes him feel suffocated, and it is also a new world that is so novel that he has never realized it before. Before today, he had never even thought that this kind of building block-like thing could be made into a prefabricated product through the JIT model, and then exported abroad in the form of an integrated solution at a premium.

The penetration rate of prefabricated buildings in Europe and the United States is 27%, the average prefabrication rate of related building areas is 50%, and the average compound growth rate of building areas in related industries is more than 2%... That means a huge market worth hundreds of billions of dollars!

If DZ City can get a small piece of this big pie, and if the multiplier effect of the returned funds cannot make this newly promoted prefecture-level city take off within five years, his head will be twisted off and kicked around like a ball! !

Yang Mo glanced at You Yakun, whose serious expression seemed to carve his face on the door painting, and immediately smiled bitterly: "Besides, there are some things that Minister Zhang is not suitable to say at the meeting today; if products like steel structure products want to enter the overseas market, they need to have a domestic base to support them, and the base cannot be too small... On the one hand, the order amount involved in this type of product is relatively huge, and the cooperation inspection period often takes a long time. If there is no basic base to support it, the company may not be able to survive; on the other hand, it is also for the consideration of making a case."

"Unfortunately, Dezhou is neither the Spring City nor Qingdao. With the current industrial structure and new industrial planning in Dezhou, it can only promote urbanization rather than urbanization. This means that even if Dezhou wants to vigorously develop urban real estate and commercial real estate in the next three years, the actual scale will not be large... If the scale of urban real estate is not large enough, the demand for traditional steel structures and prefabricated steel structures will not be large;"

"It just so happens that Dezhou is adjacent to Quancheng on the left and Hebei on the north, which means that intermediate products like steel structures that do not have very high technical content are difficult to spread to the surrounding areas with their cost advantages... Without the support of the external market, the cost and capital sinking ratio required to maintain the scale and activity of an industry, you should be very clear about it, Mayor You."

"The current Dezhou City Property Fund has limited strength, and good steel must be spent on the blade, so there is no way... We made it very clear at the meeting that it is impossible to consider such capital-intensive projects in the early stage."

"In fact, capital-intensive, technology-intensive, and labor-intensive are objectively an impossible triangle of industrial investment for a local fund company like us. We cannot take all of them into account. So... unfortunately, for the sake of overall considerations, this steel structure project is really not under our consideration at the moment."

Is there an industry in this world that is simultaneously capital-intensive, technology-intensive, and labor-intensive?

Have!
For example, the shipbuilding industry and high-speed rail are two of the most well-known industries, but this kind of industry needs to be led by the state. Dezhou Urban Development Fund is, after all, just a large fund operation company at the municipal level, and it does not have the strength to "have everything".

You Yakun's expression was a little strange: "But as long as the city fully supports it, this steel structure project can also become a capital-intensive + labor-intensive super project... According to your theory of the impossible triangle of industrial investment, it already meets two criteria at the same time."

"And don't worry, Xiao Yang. I can make it clear here that as long as your company is willing to invest and participate in this project, the city will devote all its efforts to protecting this project... Although it is a new team, please believe that our urgency to develop Dezhou is the same as that of Executive Director Ye." Nearly twenty years of work experience told him that no matter what the matter is, the reasons that can be put on the table are almost all bullshit. The reason for rejection is simply that the person involved does not want to... This is also the reason why he created an environment where only the two of them were alone after the work meeting, and then pulled Yang Mo to ask again.

In fact, after listening to today's report, from his point of view, this steel structure project that can generate huge driving forces for the project is indeed worth him and Yang Mo placing all their bets on.

This is a step, a signal, and an attitude.

He believed that Yang Mo was a smart man and would definitely know what to choose.

Hearing the words "exactly the same as Executive Director Ye", Yang Mo's brain, which had been somewhat weakened by the three glasses of wine on the table, suddenly calmed down.

After a moment of hesitation, he smiled and said, "Mayor You, to be fair, if we only look at it from the perspective of economic effect, this steel structure project is indeed a good project;"

"And what we didn't say at the meeting is... as the island nation's economic bubble completely bursts, in a year at most, if nothing goes as expected, they will adopt the old but proven effective strategy of large-scale infrastructure to stabilize and maintain their domestic economy. By then, Qilu, which has a geographical advantage, will usher in a spring for a series of industries including steel structure products."

You Yakun was overjoyed when he heard this. Everyone knew that Yang Mo was quite familiar with the situation in the island country, and had a special relationship with large pharmaceutical companies such as Sangong Co., Ltd. Under the island country's unique chaebol economic structure, it was not surprising that he knew some information that outsiders did not know in advance.

In fact, Yang Mo did not lie to him. The island country did launch a large-scale infrastructure project in 1992 to stabilize the domestic economy. Strictly speaking, it is already 1991 in the Gregorian calendar. In addition, if a resource-poor country like the island country wants to launch a large infrastructure project, it will certainly need to contact a large number of suppliers and place a large number of orders in the early stages. Therefore, the one-year period is not exaggerated.

However, just when You Yakun thought that Yang Mo was actively moving closer to him, he heard the other party change the subject:
"So, if the city plans to raise funds on its own, whether it is applying for more payment transfers from the organization or opening up more social financing channels, to vigorously promote this steel structure project with a strong capital circulation effect, I have no objection. At that time, I can even help the city introduce some related companies from the island country; but if they want to invest heavily in this project now... I'm sorry, I still can't agree."

Yang Mo's face was full of apology: "Mayor You, I hope you can understand my difficulties... Dezhou Urban Property Fund is a composite enterprise of urban investment + large fund nature, and our principle of using large fund accounts is to help local industrial upgrading; and based on the current actual situation in DZ City, this steel structure project really has nothing to do with the word industrial upgrading, so I can only say sorry to you."

When he heard Yang Mo's refusal, You Yakun's eyes flashed with an uncontrollable disappointment.

But after calming down a little, I could understand it.

The Urban Development Fund Company is not Dahua Company. Although its unique experimental nature has given Yang Mo many conveniences that are difficult for others to understand, it also determines that Yang Mo must consider the issue of his position. With his tough and inhumane style, once a few larger funds are not used in the "right way", it is hard to say that it will be a big trouble that will cause serious consequences.

It seems that I was too excited at the moment and forgot to put myself in this young man's shoes.

You Yakun smiled apologetically at first, but was unwilling to give up this rare opportunity.

Yang Mo had finally shown some goodwill towards me. If I couldn't make some things clear while the iron was hot, how would I sleep well tonight?

"Xiao Yang, since the steel structure project of Dezhou Steel Plant is not suitable for the first round of reinvestment, then the glass fiber (glass fiber yarn) project of Hongshi New Materials can always be upgraded to a higher priority and included in your company's first batch of key support list, right?"

You Yakun said with a relaxed smile: "Glass fiber is a new material that is popular in the world today. It has high technical density and relatively more industrial links. It can barely be considered a labor-intensive industry..."

Glass fiber yarn is a new type of inorganic non-metallic material with a series of distinct advantages such as light weight, high strength, high temperature resistance, and good electrical insulation. It can be used as an alternative material to replace traditional materials such as steel, aluminum, and wood in many fields.

In fact, the downstream application fields of glass fiber materials are very wide. They can be used in semi-cyclical building materials, transportation, industrial manufacturing applications; they can also be used in new electronic electronics, the most popular environmentally friendly materials and composite materials in Europe;
It can be said that this is an emerging industry with great prospects in terms of both strategic significance and economic value.

When Yang Mo heard the other party mention the fiberglass project persistently, he was speechless and pondered for a moment.

To be honest, fiberglass is a good thing, and its actual value in the future may be higher than many people think.

But the problem is that the entry barrier of this industry is relatively high, the industry concentration is also very high, and the market competition barriers are even higher. Not to mention that the glass fiber manufacturing technology in Texas is still in its infancy, and it does not even have the ability for large-scale industrial manufacturing. Even if it does, it will take at least ten or twenty years to expand its key links in the upstream, midstream and downstream markets and make it self-reliant... This is not a project that should be given priority by today's urban real estate fund companies.

It is obvious that You Yakun has taken a fancy to Yang Mo's unique position in the organization's mind. He wants to take the lead with his considerable influence, and then use the glass fiber industry, a new material industry with great imagination space, to let Texas apply for more transfer payments from the organization.

Ah……

This abacus makes a lot of noise!

Yang Mo looked at You Yakun calmly: "Mayor You, I admit that fiberglass manufacturing is an industry with great prospects, but as I said before, the foundation of today's urban real estate funds is weak, and all investments must be timely and cost-effective, so... before Hongshi New Materials has made a breakthrough in the relevant key technical points, their fiberglass project should be forgotten."

When You Yakun heard this, his eyes suddenly froze.

Could it be...

Did you think wrong?

Was the kindness that Yang Mo showed towards me just now actually an illusion?
Or……

Thinking of a possibility, You Yakun looked into the depths of Yang Mo's eyes, and a trace of fear flashed across his face.

If it was really as he imagined, this young man...

It’s much more complicated than I thought!

………………

Twenty minutes later.

Yang Mo finally helped You Yakun, who was walking back slowly, into the car.

Looking at the Santana slowly leaving, Yang Mo, who had been suppressing his drunkenness, let out a long sigh of relief.

Turning his head to look at his direct descendants who had consciously said hello and left, Yang Mo chuckled, but slapped a fat guy on the shoulder.

"Old Zhang, are you feeling good today?!"

There was a hint of ridicule and malice in Yang Mo's tone.

Zhang Wenshun, who had already drunk a lot at dinner, glared at the bastard when he heard this.

How dare you ask me if I’m happy?

Do you know that I have offended three senior leaders and more than a dozen heads of local large companies in one breath today?

You have to understand clearly that I will return to the Drilling Company to manage the General Office in the future. You know what the General Office does. If you use me as a scapegoat, how can the General Office carry out its external relations work in the future? ?

the most important is……

It took me five years to suppress my temper and cultivate my good temper. Now, you did this to me, so all my efforts have gone to waste! ?
"Hmph~!"

Thinking of this, Zhang Wenshun snorted heavily: "Nonsense, of course it is... cool! It's so cool!"

The corners of his mouth curved into a strange arc, and a dangerous light flashed in the eyes of a fat guy: "I found that no matter how much I adapt, I still can't adapt to those bullshit people who pretend to be ignorant when they know the truth. Seeing those useless people who appear to be righteous on the surface but have ulterior motives in their hearts makes me sick... I can pull down those stupid pants in front of so many people and expose the crotch of those pants. Don't mention how fucking cool it is... It's so fucking satisfying, even more satisfying than when I used to point at others and scold them!! "

It is obvious that this fat guy has been very depressed over the years. As the saying goes, it is difficult to change one's nature, and he still has a violent temper in his bones.

Yang Mo was not surprised by Zhang Wenshun's "drunk behavior". The two of them could call each other father and son, which meant that they understood each other to a degree that was definitely not something that ordinary people could understand.

Yang Mo took out a cigarette and put it into Zhang Wenshun's mouth. He chuckled again: "Is this enough? We have only just begun!"

After that, he slapped the other person's fat shoulders a few times in revenge: "Come to my office tomorrow morning, I have something to talk to you about... What's the use of a few verbal battles? If we want to do something, let's do some real work!"

Live a real life with real guns and swords?
Zhang Wenshun was a little frightened by Yang Mo's words, and even the drunkenness that was about to rise was suppressed.

How exaggerated must it be to be called "a tough job with real guns and knives" by this daring bastard?

"Hey, hey, hey, kid, is there anything you can't say now? Do you have to wait until tomorrow?"

Zhang Wenshun grabbed Yang Mo's shoulders.

It's time to get off work and everyone has left. Even if Yang Mo's personal secretary is present, he doesn't need to be too particular... Don't you see which department Zhuo Junyue was transferred from?

Yang Mo staggered when he was pulled by him, but he waved his hands weakly: "No, I drank too much tonight, and I have been standing in the cold wind for so long, I can't bear it anymore... Let's talk about it tomorrow. If the king of heaven comes, let me go back and have a good sleep first!"

Looking at this guy's weak legs and useless appearance, Zhang Wenshun felt so angry that his teeth were itching.

Pooh!
What does it mean to drink too much?

You just had three small glasses of wine.

Look at what you have accomplished!!
