My Lord, you need to stand up!

Chapter 456 The Hum and Ha Giant Spirit God

The reason why Pingqi is not doing well is precisely because there are too many instances of higher-level departments interfering and giving orders.

If a child's parents are there to support them during their upbringing, no matter how hard they try, it can't compare to the effort their parents can easily arrange for them. After one or two attempts, they will give up trying.

No matter how bad things are, your parents will take care of everything; no matter how well you do, everyone will say it's all thanks to your parents.

Over time, they will absolutely give up and stop striving.

Wei Dong's true intention was to change the fate of Pingqi, and no matter who the other party was, this principle had to be made clear.

The fact that he refrained from mentioning the story of Chiang Kai-shek shifting the machine gun five centimeters to the side was already quite a concession.

So at this point, Wei Dong's ego really started to get a little cocky.

Upon hearing this parenting argument, the other party laughed heartily: "Then let's see how you manage to learn to speak and walk on your own. Remember to report your work regularly. Everyone in Jiangzhou City says you have strong work abilities, but you don't report your work very often."

Wei Dong quickly exchanged contact information with the other party's secretary. At this point, he certainly wouldn't dare to mention that he owned several factories, major projects, and even a zoo.

These people are incredibly busy, working across numerous industries.

Think of those rulers in ancient times who were not incompetent; they all devoted themselves to their duties.

Now I finally realize that I should bring a secretary.

Hong Kong girls are definitely out of the question, and street girls are uncultured.

After returning to the automobile manufacturing plant to hand over his work, Lao Cheng, who had been called over by the Fifth Ministry of Machinery Industry to give a report to the computer for no real purpose, was stunned.

He originally intended to stay at the Xishan General Factory for the rest of his life, which would be enough to make up for the transformation from a crow to a phoenix.

It can also help Weidong solidify its production scale, at least by continuously training factory management personnel.

This is indeed a job he is good at. Managers who come from Xishan Factory are still quite capable no matter what industry they enter.

Who would have thought that he would be asked to "start a new business"!
He rubbed his face vigorously, as if to confirm if it was true: "This, this... could it be that you had a contingency plan when you asked me to come to Pingjing with you?"

Wei Dong shook his head: "Impossible. There's no way he could have any connection with the automobile manufacturing plant when he first arrived. The Ministry of Machine Building recruited people from here."

Wu Xi is quite obvious; whenever it comes to matters involving politics or affairs, he slips away and disappears, not participating in any specific matters.

But others would think that since Wei Dong was considered his guarantor, he was trustworthy and someone they could contact.

The plastic factory manager, somewhat astonished, raised his glass: "Anyway, I still want to congratulate Lao Cheng on his new position. Given the current situation, you probably can't even go back to move, so I'll help you make the arrangements."

Old Cheng raised his glass but shook his head: "This just shows that the higher-ups' intention is to center on Weidong. My management of Pingqi is also to better enable Pingqi to assist Weidong in the localization of the automobile industry. You have a heavy responsibility. Pingqi has too many problems. I need to think carefully about what to do."

Wei Dong clinked glasses with him, satisfied: "The automotive industry determines our future industrial standards. My advice to you is to fully absorb the foreign system. I even know that Citibank's production processes and technology aren't the most advanced. You should learn from them first, and I'll help you find something more advanced. Let me think about it..."

My mind is racing, what happened to the Jeep Cherokee?
He knew that this lineage later declined, but his knowledge was limited to the parking lot of the compound.

However, seeing Old Geng and the plastic factory manager at the hot pot table, he put the memory restoration technique aside: "How about it, Old Geng? Once the automobile industrial company and real estate are established here, if you want to stay in Pingjing, I can try to set up a construction company for you here."

As a result, Lao Geng shook his head without hesitation: "I have to be responsible for the entire infrastructure team, and I have to be responsible for your urban construction company. It's enough that Lao Cheng is here to hold the line. I'll stay here to assist him and get the dormitory building project on track before I go back. The work in Jiangzhou is the foundation."

The arrangement that satisfied Wei Dong was: "Then you should go to Shanghai first and see the scale of the commercial center that the Hong Kong businessmen are starting to build. If necessary, I will help you apply for a business trip to Hong Kong to inspect it. This automobile commercial center will definitely be built mainly by us. I personally will not hold any shares in it, but as long as the higher authorities do not allocate funds and need to borrow our funds, then the automobile factory, Xishan factory and urban construction company will all hold shares in it."

Old Geng readily agreed.

Rang Weidong then said to the last plastic factory director, "Since you're all here, we believe in sharing the spoils. Lao Yao, you'll take over Lao Cheng's job at the Xishan factory."

They were taken aback, but not too much: "Is that possible?"

Before Wei Dong was allowed to drive the development of Xishan Factory, the several factories scattered in that mountain valley were all on the same level.

Xiangshan Factory also has a high degree of influence due to its largest scale and strongest technical capabilities.

It wasn't until the Xishan Factory, riding the wave of People's Camera's explosive sales of millions of units, was required by the Fifth Ministry of Machinery Industry to integrate several factories into the Xishan General Factory that the difference in quality was finally revealed.

It was through this that Lao Cheng received a promotion in his position.

The old security guard was, of course, familiar with this system's routine: "I'll first propose that you serve as the acting factory director, and once things are sorted out, we can apply to have the entire Xishan General Factory serve the computer industry. Xishan Factory will definitely transform into the core of the computer industry in the future, and you will have the opportunity to lead this aircraft carrier."

That's quite a clever way of putting it; it's a half-hearted suggestion, a half-piece of hope. It doesn't mean that Lao Yao will replace Lao Cheng right away; there's still a probationary period.

Old Cheng, understanding perfectly, cooperated: "Old Yao, you and Wei Dong are already very skilled at working together. Our concern now is that if someone from above is sent down and can't keep up with Wei Dong's pace, and Wei Dong doesn't have the energy to readjust to new people right now. The key is for you, Old Yao, to adjust your rhythm and work well with Wei Dong. Cameras are just a temporary job; according to Wei Dong's plan, they will eventually be completely replaced by computers. How do we coordinate this part well, and how do we gradually transfer some people to the Jiangzhou Computer Industrial Park, and then absorb local people from around the Xishan main factory to maintain production?" He was essentially highlighting the key points for his old partner: fully cooperating with Wei Dong was the only mission.

Old Yao nodded deeply.

The four then silently raised their glasses to wish each other a bright future.

Three leaders of third-tier units who should have been overwhelmed and disappeared in the wave of reform, along with Rang Weidong, an old security guard, completely defied fate and changed their destiny.

Sure enough, the acting factory manager of Xishan General Factory recommended by Wei Dong was immediately approved.

Subsequently, the work on the night market storefront of the car manufacturing plant also began. After Wei Dong and Lao Geng surveyed all the surrounding terrain, they quickly began to build temporary storefronts.

Similar to the stalls and storefronts in Shangzhou Free Market, this place is slightly larger and is given priority to restaurants and eateries with vision and ambition.

This also allowed Wei Dong to get a clear understanding of the residential situation in the surrounding dormitory buildings.

By the end of October, together with that Factory Director Zhu, or rather, General Manager Zhu, we officially held the opening ceremony for this sensational "collective housing construction" project in Beijing.

After all, at this critical juncture when commercial housing was not yet fully open to the market, no matter how prestigious the construction or real estate companies in Beijing were, they had certainly never witnessed such a scene of selling houses.

Together with various ministries and state-owned enterprises in Beijing, we observed the pre-sale of apartments, which has guiding significance for housing reform.

Even the bank staff came over and spent several days familiarizing themselves with the business before they were able to set up an office space for housing loans on-site.

The venue to be used is, of course, the night market area surrounding the basketball court during the day.

Even without Wei Dong having to make a personal appearance, General Manager Zhu, who had repeatedly shouldered the heavy responsibility of pioneering, passionately explained the significance and rules of this fundraising housing project.

More than a thousand registered employee families, along with tens of thousands of coworkers, their families, and workers from surrounding enterprises, watched as the newly made "ping-pong ball blowing" machine randomly blew out five numbers from ten.

The approximately 500 households whose registration confirmation slips end in these five digits have been granted the right to purchase.

Pay 500 yuan on-site to reserve either a 40-square-meter or 80-square-meter apartment. For those who need to take out a loan, sign a loan agreement with the bank, and then pay the down payment and go through a complicated and rigorous loan contract process.

More than 500 apartments in the two buildings were sold out in one fell swoop.

The total sales of 19.36 million yuan astonished all the companies present.

For the working class, who are used to welfare housing and whose lives are taken care of by the state from birth to death, changing their mindset to buy their own homes will definitely be a difficult process.

But it's much easier for the employees of the joint venture to accept it.

Various government departments, and even the leadership of factories and mines, breathed a sigh of relief.

How could the huge burden of welfare housing, which was entirely borne by enterprises and thus by the state, be so easily discarded?

Even if there are still people resisting, no matter how much the state claims to bear everything, private housing is starting to make a comeback.

Anyone with a capacity for thought understands that this major trend is absolutely irreversible.

It worked so quickly.

The car manufacturer, which was definitely operating at a loss, instantly turned a profit.

According to the instructions given by the vice president of the automotive company's real estate division, the storefronts and parking spaces on the ground floor of the commercial and residential buildings are the real estate developer's pure profit, a golden goose that can generate continuous profits.

But it was only at this moment that Wei Dong's shady dealings began.

When investigating the families' situations, Wei Dong specifically gave instructions to the two buildings next to the "night market" area. These two buildings, with nearly two hundred households, had the highest registration rate for home purchases.

Now that most families have successfully purchased homes, the two buildings will be demolished immediately after the remaining few families are moved to vacated rooms in other dormitory areas.

It's like taking advantage of the current period before the demolition compensation policy is implemented to quietly begin the relocation and clearing of the entire area.

This will certainly be a loss for these families, but they also enjoy the benefits of low housing prices without land costs.

It's like the two cancel each other out.

Then, around this time, advertisements for X Computer and Cherokee SUV appeared on TV almost simultaneously.

This officially marks the beginning of the brand journey for Weidong's future "Hum and Ha" duo.
