Chapter 432 The Mysterious Secretary Xu
Yang Xun diligently accompanied Secretary Xu and Lei Dongbao on their tour of the entire factory, answering all the guests' questions. When Secretary Xu and Lei Dongbao saw that there were five TV production lines and two refrigerator production lines in the factory, they were both stunned.

Because it is very difficult for the mainland to obtain advanced production lines now, and it requires a lot of precious foreign exchange, not to mention the production line of Hongyun Home Appliances, which is at the international leading level. That is really a no-brainer. What is bought at a high price are almost all production lines and technologies that have been eliminated or are about to be eliminated by Western capital.

This is also the reason why Jinzhou Chemical Plant regards the introduction of new technologies and new production lines as a matter of life and death. If we could have the huge foreign exchange reserves like in later generations, we would definitely not live such a tight life.

"Mr. Yang, where did Hongyun Home Appliances get so much foreign exchange?" Secretary Xu's status and vision were beyond the reach of many people, and he quickly discovered a flaw in Hongyun Home Appliances. "Are these production lines all world-leading?"

"Haha, Secretary Xu is right." Yang Xun explained proudly with a smile, "Because Hongyun Home Appliances' major shareholder is a Hong Kong investment company, we have access to a large number of advanced production lines from abroad, and we can trade directly using only RMB."

"What? That's impossible!" Secretary Xu shook his head in shock. It was truly unbelievable. "International transactions must be conducted in foreign exchange. Otherwise, we wouldn't be in such a predicament right now."

"Secretary Xu, some things just can't be understood with common sense." Seeing Secretary Xu's shocked expression, Yang Xun felt even more proud. "Actually, our Hongyun Company originally also operated foreign trade and hotel businesses. It's just that due to qualification issues and policy restrictions, we can only temporarily retain home appliance manufacturing."

"Mr. Yang, what you mean is that as long as your company has this foreign trade qualification, you can purchase various internationally leading technologies and production lines in large quantities, and you only need to use RMB for transactions?" Secretary Xu quickly discovered the key point in Yang Xun's words.

"Yes! We Hongyun have the ability, but some things cannot be solved by ability alone." Yang Xun shook his head with a wry smile.

Secretary Xu looked at Yang Xun thoughtfully, and then did not say anything else. After his observation over the past few days, he could feel that Yang Xun was not the decision maker in Hongyun Home Appliances, and perhaps Song Yunping, whom he met today, was not the real decision maker either.

Next, Secretary Xu and Lei Dongbao carefully visited the entire Hongyun Home Appliances factory for three days, which completely changed their understanding of the assembly line and made them clearly feel the huge difference between mainland state-owned enterprises and Hongyun Home Appliances.

At Hongyun Guesthouse, Secretary Xu and Lei Dongbao lay in the double standard room prepared for them by Yang Xun. Looking at the small guesthouse with world-class hardware and services, Secretary Xu once again recalled the initial operating scope of Hongyun introduced by Yang Xun, and realized that Hongyun really had this strength.

"Dongbao, what have you learned from watching these past few days?"

"Secretary Xu, compared with Hongyun Home Appliances, the Xiao Lei family is nothing. Even the handicraft workshop is praising the Xiao Lei family." Lei Dongbao looked at Secretary Xu with a wry smile.

"Haha, it's not as exaggerated as you say. It's just that the starting point and scale are different. The meanings represented by the two units are also completely different."

"Old Xu, it seems our Xiao Lei family still has a long way to go."

"Well, it's best if you can come to your senses." Seeing that Lei Dongbao no longer had the rebellious attitude he had at the beginning and had instead clearly understood his current situation, Secretary Xu was truly relieved. "Dongbao, before we leave tomorrow, I'll take you to visit Secretary Shui of the Jinzhou Factory."

"Huh? Why are you going to visit Secretary Shui?"

"Dongbao, after all, this is the territory of Jinzhou Factory. I also came from Jinzhou Factory, so I should go and visit."

"Oh! All right!"

"Haha, and we may also meet the real boss behind Hongyun Home Appliances." Seeing that Lei Dongbao was not in a good mood, Secretary Xu suddenly looked at Lei Dongbao and said.

"Ah? The real boss of Hongyun?" Lei Dongbao was confused.

"Well, my observations over the past few days have revealed that Song Yunping and Yang Xun are merely management personnel. The real decision maker is probably Suning, Song Yunping's husband."

"Ah? No way!" Lei Dongbao finally revealed an understanding expression, but he still couldn't help but be surprised, "Actually, I'm also very interested in this Suning."

Lei Dongbao has always been resentful towards the man who stole his woman. He wondered what kind of outstanding man could be worthy of Song Yunping. It was a good opportunity for him to go with Secretary Xu to see for himself this time.

Ever since the German production line came to Jinzhou Plant, it has been of concern to all Jinzhou Chemical workers. Even the chemical industry leaders of ministries and commissions are paying attention to this introduction work, because the introduction work of Jinzhou Chemical Plant is too important.

Suning and Song Yunhui devoted themselves to the installation of the production line. They mobilized almost all the technical workers of Jinzhou Chemical Plant to participate in the installation. The two also stayed on the construction site for food and accommodation.

"Chief Su, Secretary Shui asked you to go to his office." Secretary Shui's secretary ran to Su Ning at the construction site.

"Oh? I'll be right there."

The construction site was assigned to Song Yunhui to monitor. Su Ning followed Secretary Shui's secretary to Secretary Shui's office, and then saw two familiar strangers, Secretary Xu and Lei Dongbao.

"Suning, come here quickly! Let me introduce you." Secretary Shui looked at Su Ning and introduced, "This is Secretary Xu from Jinling County, and this is Lei Dongbao, the village party secretary of Xiaoleijia Village in Jinling County."

"Hello, secretaries!"

"Hello, Chief Su." Secretary Xu looked at Su Ning with a smile and said gratefully, "Chief Su, we just came from visiting Hongyun Home Appliances. Thank you very much for your hospitality."

"Haha, Secretary Xu, I usually don't pay much attention to Hongyun Home Appliances. My wife Song Yunping has always been in charge of that."

"Chief Su, you are too modest. Everyone knows that it is thanks to your support that President Song has been able to reach this point today."

"Haha, Secretary Xu, you're too kind."

"Chief Su, can I ask you a question?"

"Secretary Xu, please ask."

"Chief Su, if Hongyun Company has foreign trade qualifications, can it really purchase a large number of advanced production lines from abroad and use RMB for all transactions?" Secretary Xu looked at Suning nervously.

"Sure! Although I don't pay much attention to the situation of Hongyun Company, Hongyun still has this ability." Suning looked at the always mysterious Secretary Xu and said with a smile.

"Oh? Chief Su, if I can help you solve this foreign trade qualification issue, what advanced equipment and production lines can your company purchase?" Secretary Xu suppressed his excitement and continued to ask Su Ning. "Well, we can buy whatever the mainland needs!" Su Ning pretended to consider for a moment, then explained with a smile, "Actually, Hongyun can buy the German production line that Jinzhou Factory is importing using RMB. However, Hongyun Company does not have foreign trade qualifications, and my identity as a Jinzhou Factory employee is quite sensitive, so Hongyun Company has not intervened."

"What? Suning, are you saying that this time the German production line can actually be purchased with RMB?" At this time, Secretary Shui next to him became excited.

"Yeah! It's not a big deal."

"Ah? Then why didn't you say it earlier?" Secretary Shui showed a regretful expression.

"Haha, it's already so difficult for Hongyun Company to operate home appliance manufacturing. It would be a bit greedy to expect foreign trade."

"Oh!" Secretary Shui certainly knew the difficulties in establishing Hongyun, and he was very helpless at this time. Now there are still people using this matter to attack him.

"Chief Su, can Hongyun buy advanced machine tools?" Secretary Xu looked at Suning meaningfully again.

"CNC machine tool? Three-axis or five-axis?"

"Ah? A five-axis one is also possible?" Secretary Xu could no longer remain calm and his eyes widened in surprise.

"No problem! We'll trade in RMB at 70% of the international price!" Suning said nonchalantly, then explained the most important thing upfront, "But you don't need to know where the goods come from. You know, some things are difficult to explain."

"Yes, we all understand this." Secretary Xu nodded in agreement, then looked at Su Ning again. "I can help resolve the qualification issue of Hongyun Foreign Trade Company. Does Section Chief Su have any other requests?"

"There are no more requirements." The qualification issue has always been a concern for Suning, and today they finally saw an opportunity.

Suning has always believed that Secretary Xu is the most mysterious, otherwise Secretary Shui would not have treated him like this. Since he is willing to help solve the foreign trade qualification problem, Suning is more than happy to do so.

As for Lei Dongbao next to him, he kept looking at him with a complicated expression. Suning certainly knew what he was thinking. At this moment, Lei Dongbao was really nothing in front of him. At the same time, Suning was not optimistic about his future development. As long as Lei Dongbao did not jump out of the Xiao Lei family, he would always be coerced by the Xiao Lei family. This also confirmed the saying that success and failure are both due to the Xiao Lei family.

The sudden visit of Secretary Xu and Lei Dongbao did not affect Suning's work and life. He and Song Yunhui still took turns to watch the installation of the production line, and spent the rest of the time with Song Yunping.

At this time, Song Yunping was close to her due date, so she stopped all work and stayed at home to wait for the birth. As the due date was getting closer, Suning arranged for Song Yunping to be admitted to the city hospital in advance.

"Suning, my parents said there's no need to be nervous. Many people in my hometown give birth at home now." Song Yunping looked at Suning who was busy running around with a smile.

"Pingping, the biggest advantage of living in a big city is the good medical conditions. Having a child is a gamble with your life, so of course we have to make sure everything is foolproof." Su Ning retorted disapprovingly. He couldn't let his woman risk her life. "Besides, our family has the means, so why should we be so stingy and save that little money?

The hospital has nurses and doctors on duty 24 hours a day. Even if you need to give birth in the middle of the night, you can call an expert doctor with just one phone call. It’s so safe and convenient.”

"Haha, whatever you want! I find that no one in our family wants to say anything about you." Song Yunping said to Su Ning with a wry smile.

"Haha, we are all family. There is no need to care about who is superior to whom. We will listen to whoever is right."

Only after Song Yunping was sent to the single room in the municipal hospital did Su Ning feel relieved. During the day, Song Yunping's parents took care of her and brought three meals a day from home. It was also very convenient for Xun Jianxiang to pick them up and drop them off.

In the evening, Suning would come to the hospital to accompany Song Yunping, and Song Yunping's parents could go home to rest. Looking at Suning's busy schedule, Song Yunping said with a smile, "Suning, you are too tired."

"It's okay! I feel fine."

"Haha, my parents complained that you were timid!"

"You're a coward. That's because you and the child are people I care about."

"Hmph! You're the only one with so many twisted ideas." Song Yunping looked at Su Ning with a sweet expression, and in her heart she agreed with Su Ning's point of view.

"Let's go! I'll take you to the hospital to exercise. It's said that this will speed up the birth."

"Haha, you are so knowledgeable about childbirth. Have you been focusing on reproductive knowledge recently?" Song Yunping looked at Su Ning with a smile.

“Haha, maybe!”

Su Ning took Song Yunping for a walk near the flower bed downstairs in the hospital, and then accompanied Song Yunping to climb a few more flights of stairs before the two returned to their ward.

After finishing all the things, Song Yunping lay on the hospital bed again, but found that Su Ning had fallen asleep on the accompanying bed. Listening to Su Ning's slight snoring, Song Yunping suddenly felt a sense of security and realized that she was really happy at this moment.

Half a month later, Song Yunping gave birth to a daughter smoothly, which surprised the whole family. Su Ning named his daughter Su Qian on the spot.

"Qianqian, I am your uncle, call me uncle!" Song Yunhui hugged his newborn niece Su Qian lovingly.

"Xiaohui, if Qianqian really calls you uncle now, you will be scared to death!" Mother Song looked at her son unhappily.

"Haha, Qianqian's parents are both geniuses, and with me as her uncle who is even more talented, Qianqian will definitely be a genius in the future." Song Yunhui said with a smile on his face.

Song Yunhui is now fully realizing his ideals in the installation of the new production line at the Jinzhou factory, so he is really proud of himself and is full of yearning for his future career and life.

The family watched all this happily, and everything felt like a dream. Seven or eight years ago, the family was in chaos because of Song Yunping and Song Yunhui going to college, but suddenly their lives changed drastically, and they no longer had to worry about the hard days before.
