1988: Back to the human world for a few years

Chapter 502: I give it to you. Can you catch it?

Bai Mengmeng didn't return to the company until two o'clock in the afternoon.

She knew very well that she would have to attend dinner parties in the future, and her master was notoriously weak in this area, so she could only gain experience on her own.

As a woman, she could choose not to drink, and the county economic and trade officials would not even mention the word "wine"... But if she took the initiative to ask for a couple of glasses, they would naturally have to accompany her to the end.

It must be admitted that when it comes to drinking culture, Qi and Lu are ten blocks ahead of Guizhou.

What is the order of the host and the second host, what is the order of the host and the second guest, what is the order of one cup and six sips, what is the order of one, two, three, three, two, one, what is the order of one drink and one drink, etc., it really opened Bai Mengmeng's eyes;

Especially the toasts that were not repeated before each glass, which made her wonder, if she hadn't read a few books here, would she not even be qualified to sit at the table?
But fortunately, women are born with a natural tolerance for alcohol.
As a Miao girl from Guizhou, Bai Mengmeng could drink a lot. In addition, the county economic and trade department was not willing to bully two little girls. Therefore, after the banquet, although the scene was lively, Bai Mengmeng did not drink too much.

Therefore, when she returned to the office and heard that Mr. Wang was looking for her, she quickly made a cup of strong tea to wake herself up. Then, after a moment's hesitation, she opened the drawer, put the document submitted by the service team in her bag, and then turned around and left the office.

………………

"Director Bai, as the acting director of the General Office, I understand that socializing is necessary when you are doing your work, but as a female comrade, you should also pay attention to the impact!"

Looking at the little girl in front of him with a slightly red face, Wang Xingmin frowned and spoke in a somewhat displeased tone.

In the past two years, as the performance of more and more companies has declined, some messy things have also increased. Apart from the "sending daughters-in-law to keep jobs" incident that caused a lot of controversy some time ago, other things such as openly letting female subordinates sit at the table to accompany clients for drinks overnight, and seven-day tours in small guesthouses are also emerging in an endless stream.

Although the company's account did not have much money this year, the actual performance of the drilling company had been good. In addition, with him as a deputy-department-level cadre, the company did not need to deliberately cater to others. Therefore, he did not want any gossip about "female cadres sacrificing themselves to feed the tiger" to embarrass him.

Bai Mengmeng heard Mr. Wang's reprimand, which was faintly a warning, and nodded obediently: "Uncle Wang, I understand... I will bring more male comrades with me next time."

Hearing that this girl actually used the personal name "Uncle Wang" in his office, Wang Xingmin was stunned at first, and then he looked at Bai Mengmeng with a slightly different look.

Bai Mengmeng's father, Bai Yong, was one of the first subordinates to follow him, just like Zhang Wenshun. Therefore, according to personal relationship and seniority, calling him Uncle Wang was a little presumptuous, but it was not excessive.
But this is not the most important thing. The important thing is that the girl used this title on this occasion to remind herself that because of her father, she was only here at the drilling company for learning and training, and she would eventually have to go back to Guizhou for exchange. In fact, she should be considered a member of the local administrative system in Tongren.
Therefore, she did not want to get too involved in matters concerning the drilling company or the oil system, and she did not need to have too many thoughts just because she was Yang Mo's apprentice.

Although Bai Mengmeng's suggestion was a bit frivolous and childish, it has to be said that combined with her young face, it still had a certain effect.

She is young, and even a little girl, how much can she think about?
Not all of them are monsters like Yang Mo.

Looking at the extremely well-behaved Bai Mengmeng in front of him, Wang Xingmin seemed to see the shadow of a fat man from a year ago in her. He couldn't help but sigh softly and nodded a few times, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "You Guizhou kids only know how to show off. When you hear the word "wine", you become unconvinced... Did you drink too much?"

But he suddenly changed from speaking Mandarin with a strong accent to speaking Sichuan dialect, and his words seemed to have a more elder-like tone.

Bai Mengmeng laughed and said, "She only drank a little over half a catty, and she looks drunk. No matter how cowardly a Miao girl is, if she wants to get drunk, she needs to drink at least half a catty!"

Drinking is an important skill in this era, so there is a sense of complacency in Bai Mengmeng's tone.

Wang Xingmin looked at the girl's boastful expression and shook his head helplessly: "It's good that she's not drunk. Otherwise, if something happens, how can I explain it to you?"

After saying that, he changed the subject: "Since you are not drunk, then, let's talk about some business... I heard from the people below that you are unwilling to stamp the service team? You also asked their captain Chen to come to your office to explain the situation?"

Seeing Mr. Wang getting to the point but still speaking in Sichuan dialect, Bai Mengmeng chuckled and took out the document from his briefcase and placed it on the table: "Uncle Wang, is this what you are talking about?"

Wang Xingmin glanced at the document that Bai Mengmeng had brought with him, and couldn't help but frowned: "Well, that's it... Even if the service team bought a little too much, even if the company doesn't have much money in its account, but the kids in the company have worked hard for a year, no matter what, they should have a good New Year!"

At this point, Mr. Wang's tone began to get angry: "I know that some of the kids from Company One have opinions about the kids from Company Two and Company Three who came in later. They think that they are just asking for money from them, but the company has its own considerations... Since we are all members of the same company now, we should treat everyone equally!"

"When I brought you and the others to participate in the grand battle, didn't I also give out all the bonuses in front of everyone?"

"When I laughed at you, did I care whether you were from Sichuan, Guizhou or southern Yunnan?"

"I don't care whether you are from the first or second company. Since you are my soldiers, I will treat you equally... Since the company has drilled 25 meters of wells this year, 5 meters more than last year, you should get more bonuses and benefits, and then have a good year!"

Staring at Bai Mengmeng with dissatisfaction, Mr. Wang slammed his desk heavily, like an old lion admonishing his offspring: "If the supply station objects to this purchase application form and refuses to sign and seal it, I can understand it; even if it is the asset management department that objects, I can understand it... These are all children of the same company, and I can understand that they have emotions in their hearts."

"But, Xiaobai, your daughter was not originally from the same company, and she had been working in Texas before. She even signed the contract with the supply station, but you jumped out halfway and insisted on making things difficult for the service team. I really can't understand this!"

Bai Mengmeng showed a smile of a used junior on his face, as if he was not frightened by Mr. Wang's aura at all.

Seeing Mr. Wang slamming the table, he took out a plastic bag from his briefcase and showed the official seal of the General Affairs Office with a smile: "Uncle Wang, just say the word and I will stamp it right in front of you!"

As he spoke, he blew on the official seal, dipped it in some ink, and stopped his hand in mid-air, staring at Mr. Wang with blinking eyes, as if waiting for him to give orders.

Seeing this, Mr. Wang suddenly felt a strange feeling and murmured: "Xiao Bai, I know that although you are young, you have been involved in many commercial projects... Could it be that there is something wrong with the procurement application of the service team?"

Bai Mengmeng giggled but shook her head: "How can I, a girl who knows nothing, tell? Since you, Uncle Wang, have seen it, and even the supply station has signed and stamped it, there shouldn't be any problem."

My master has repeatedly emphasized that we should never treat others as fools.

There may be quite a few fools in this world, but most of them are just pretending to be fools. If you really treat them as fools, while they are happy, you will become the real fool.

Although the prices on the service team's purchase list could be concealed from ordinary employees who did not understand the market conditions, they could never be concealed from those old foxes, let alone from the group of old monsters at the supply station.

Therefore, the price difference on the purchase list that did not conform to the "usual practice", the bright red official seals of several departments including the supply station on the documents, and Mr. Wang's personal inquiries...

Put it all together, isn't it obvious enough?

Hearing that Bai Mengmeng didn't give a direct answer, and had an attitude of "If you say it's okay, then it must be okay", Mr. Wang glanced at the official seal that was still hanging in the air, and finally frowned: "Xiao Bai, if you have any concerns, just say it! You are now the acting director of the General Office, not a soldier who only knows how to do things as he pleases!"

Having said that, he never gave a direct order for Bai Mengmeng to stamp the document... For many things, using one's authority to force things is the most foolish and also the most troublesome approach.

Upon hearing this, Bai Mengmeng first gently put the seal down, then rubbed his arm like a younger generation, his voice revealing innocent curiosity: "Uncle Wang, I heard that the 17 small refineries that the company acquired this year were originally planned to make a big splash next year after being assigned to the general manager's office for direct management;"

"But this year, in order to cope with the capital increase and share expansion of various projects, Momo Baitou has reinvested a large amount of investment income; plus the company now needs to build nearly twice as many areas as in previous years, so the plans of those local refineries to enter the refined oil market next year are likely to be postponed?"

Those 17 small-scale refineries were originally under the direct management of the General Office, but for some unknown reason, the restructuring work was not completed yet, and the superior directly managed department became the General Manager's Office; the General Office also changed from a directly managed superior department to an auxiliary department.

But no matter whether they are directly managed or assisted, the General Manager's Office is very clear about the future plans and annual operating plans of those small refineries. Even the original strategic planning schemes were drawn up by the General Manager's Office. Therefore, as the acting director, it is not surprising that Bai Mengmeng knows some of the situations.

Hearing Bai Mengmeng suddenly change the subject to a topic that has nothing to do with the current shopping list, Wang Xingmin's face showed no displeasure, but a gleam of brilliance flashed in his eyes: "That's true, but this is also normal... As the saying goes, plans cannot keep up with changes. We didn't expect that the nationwide investment promotion for the Mo Mo Bai Zha project would bring about so many chain changes!" It was obvious that this pioneer was somewhat dissatisfied with this chain change with a huge impact. Although he did not know much about business, he had reason to suspect that this was a deep pit dug for him by someone, with the purpose of disrupting his plan steps through drastic changes in available funds.

If it weren't for the fact that that person has already grown up, the cost of openly turning against him would be too high, and he wouldn't be sure of winning. Otherwise, given his personality, he would have used his authority as general manager to force his way through.

Thinking of this, Wang Xingmin pinched his thumb joint, but his face was calm and calm: "But don't be afraid, as long as your thinking does not slip, there are always more solutions than problems! As long as everyone works together, the plan to enter the refined oil market next year is still not hopeless!"

Having said that, things are already very obvious.

Surrounded by a group of hungry wolf cubs, Mr. Wang, who is eager to win over the hearts of the troops, plans to use a trick of changing his mind frequently to give all parties the greatest psychological satisfaction while ensuring that his own plan is not disturbed as much as possible.

The procurement list submitted by the service team is undoubtedly one of them; if Bai Mengmeng's guess is correct, the 30~35% price difference generated in this procurement process will be converted into Xintai Company's income or other income through various means of the Finance Department, and transferred to those small refineries.

Ok……

Central enterprises have always been very willing to invest in the Spring Festival benefits for their employees. This involves the Spring Festival benefits for 600 new and old employees, and the scale of the service team's purchase this time is as much as million.

According to the lowest standard, 600% of 30 million is at least 180 million... almost million!

Don't underestimate these two million, and don't be fooled by Dahua Company's huge investment of hundreds of millions. In fact, in this era, two million is enough to do many things.

Bai Mengmeng nodded: "After all, the drilling company is only a secondary production unit and does not have the qualifications to operate petrochemical and refined oil businesses. Therefore, even if it merges those small and micro refineries, it can only operate in a mixed ownership or even private company mode after the reorganization;"

"Land use permit, planning permit, construction permit, finished oil business license from the Commerce Bureau, dangerous chemical business license from the Safety Supervision Bureau, business license from the Industry and Commerce Bureau, lightning protection device acceptance certificate from the Meteorological Bureau, tax registration certificate from the State Taxation Bureau; plus the costs and expenses of joint acceptance by the fire protection, safety supervision, environmental protection, meteorological, commerce, construction committee, planning, land and other departments... Even if the company can provide various conveniences and coordination in other aspects, the initial construction cost of setting up the simplest small gas station, including land rent and related equipment, is at least 5 yuan, not counting employee salaries and other expenses."

At this point, Bai Mengmeng looked at Mr. Wang with some curiosity: "So... Uncle Wang, according to what you said, the General Manager's Office has the confidence to ensure that the plan to open 100 small gas stations next year can be implemented as scheduled?"

For 100 gas stations, that means a budget of at least 500 million, and this is calculated based on the lowest initial construction cost. If there are any variables in the middle, for example, the rent and compensation amount of the city location you are interested in exceeds the standard, then this number may double... In the future, it will cost 80 to 100 million to build a small gas station in a remote area. In this era when various gas station equipment cannot be fully domestically produced, if you pursue location, it is not surprising that the various costs will accumulate to nearly .

Looking at Bai Mengmeng's clear and innocent eyes, Wang Xingmin's mouth twitched, and he smiled a little unconfidently: "Although the process may be a little tortuous, it shouldn't be a big problem to ensure that the number of gas stations will increase to 100 next year."

It can be heard that Mr. Wang intends to adopt a rolling investment method. He will first use the two million squeezed out to build a number of gas stations. After recovering a batch of funds through business public relations, he will immediately invest that money in the construction of new gas stations.

Bai Mengmeng nodded again, as if she knew nothing, but she looked a little embarrassed. "My master called me yesterday and said that Director Song's work has made a breakthrough. There are already sales companies in four cities at the headquarters that are willing to try to open up the related market for refined oil for the employment of their employees and their families. As long as the company has enough budget, by April next year at the latest, we can expand the scale of gas stations to at least 4 in the form of joint ventures and holdings."

Bai Mengmeng's face was full of emotion as he spoke: "Once we form a joint venture with those sales companies and borrow their shell, not only will we not have to run around for various licenses and inspections, but we can also save a lot of money on taxes and various operating costs including equipment procurement. We can even coordinate the best location as much as possible. The only price we need to pay is to help them solve the employment problem of more than a thousand people. It can be said to be extremely cost-effective."

After a slight pause, Bai Mengmeng sighed, "The only problem is that the other party proposed a package agreement, which means that if we want to cooperate, the four sales companies must work together, and the number of additional gas stations must be able to provide employment for at least one thousand people, otherwise there is no deal."

"But the problem is that the company now has difficulty in finding the budget to expand 100 small gas stations. It is difficult to provide employment for at least 1000 employees and their families!"

At the end, Bai Mengmeng's face was full of resentment: "Master had to work hard to persuade Director Song to help. Such a good opportunity was placed in front of us, but in the end we can only watch it slip away... What a pity!"

The veins on Wang Xingmin's forehead couldn't help but twitch a few times.

At the beginning, Yang Mo did promise to help him advance the gas station expansion plan, and what he said at the beginning was indeed this model of laying chickens and eggs; and the benefits of this model of laying chickens and eggs are also obvious... Saving money and trouble are small matters. Just cooperating with those sales companies can effectively solve the inherent shortcomings of insufficient refined oil production capacity of those small and micro refineries, which is already a great attraction.

But the problem is...

Who the hell knew that Yang Mo would act so quickly!
It’s been just over a month since we last met, and he’s already made a breakthrough!
4 sales companies!

It is easy to understand that as the units under the command are facing increasingly severe pressure to reduce staff and increase efficiency, once this door is opened, it will not be long before more sales companies are willing to join this joint venture model.

But the terrible thing is...

Why now?

Why is it that at this moment when my old strength has been exhausted and my new strength has not yet been generated, there has been a sudden major progress? ?

Glancing at Bai Mengmeng, who looked as innocent as a beautiful girl who knew nothing about the world, he was certain that this girl had definitely seen through the trick in the service brigade's purchase application, and even figured out the cards she had in her hand through this document;
And the fact that Momobaitou suddenly increased its follow-up investment in those projects was definitely specially designed by Yang Mo!
Bai Mengmeng had said so much just now, just to tell him on behalf of Yang Mo:
I have fulfilled all my previous promises, and I have prepared everything you asked me for, but the question is... if I give you the things, can you accept them! ?
After confirming this very clearly, Wang Xingmin's chest couldn't help but rise and fall violently, and he felt like a mouthful of blood was about to spurt out.

Sure enough, that young man is not someone who is easy to get along with!
None of the people who come out from his side are simple!

Witnessing for the first time how difficult Yang Mo was to deal with, Wang Xingmin pinched his thumb joint hard, but his expression remained calm.

"Okay, Xiaobai, I already know the situation... You go down first. If you really can't bear it anymore, go home to sober up and make a bowl of ginger soup. The northwest wind in Qilu is very strong. If you get caught in the wind after drinking, you will easily get drunk on the spot. Even if you don't get drunk, getting a cold from the wind is also a very troublesome thing."

Mr. Wang gave instructions in a gentle voice, like an elder who cares about his juniors.

However, at this moment, he no longer spoke the Bashu dialect, but Mandarin with a strange accent.

Bai Mengmeng just nodded very obediently after hearing this, and then stood up:
"Okay, thank you Uncle Wang for your concern... I'll go back then!"

After saying that, he swiftly put the official seal and ink pad of the General Office back into his briefcase, then turned around and left with a smile.

Only the purchase application form submitted by the service team was left, lying quietly on Wang Xingmin's desk...

………………

After half an hour.

Yang Mo clamped the microphone around his neck, and waited until his apprentice's chattering stopped before he stopped peeling the tea leaves, straightened the microphone, and asked with interest, "So, our old Mr. Wang didn't ask any questions or reveal anything in the end?"

After hearing the affirmative answer from his apprentice on the phone, Yang Mo couldn't help laughing, and then he sighed.

It seems that this pioneer has a lot of hidden cards!
But it doesn’t matter. Anyway, I have already fought for you and I will wait for you until April at most.

If you can't handle it yourself...

Haha, don’t blame me for being rude.

You know, before I took office as the general manager of the Urban Development Fund Company, I took a stroll around Qingyun and raised a lot of funds from there.

If you don't have the ability to receive this overwhelming wealth, you can't blame others!
