My Lord, you need to stand up!

Chapter 815 Clues Connect the Dots

It's obvious that Weidong's expansion was too rapid.

Those with ability can become general managers of provincial branches, or lead teams to compete in fields such as urban construction and real estate, product sales, automobiles, and electronics, as long as they are sent out to work.

Especially in places like Pyongyang, where talented people gather.

From Han Guobin and He Yuemei to subsequent generations of personnel, they were all sent out to lead different regions.

Therefore, the major cities really need someone to take charge of the internal affairs.

For example, Pengzhen, which used to be quite disorganized, is now much more stable in all aspects thanks to Li Xuehong's efforts to streamline things. Even He Yuemei from Yuezhou feels that she can focus on her work in the hotel system.

In reality, it was Lao Zhang who was in charge of Shanghai, but Wu Shengyun, Chi Shiming, and Lao Geng went there more often, while the Qin sisters only took care of their small business.

Jiangzhou goes without saying, but Pingjing really needs someone to take charge.

Previously, the managers of the Dongsheng Trading branch were constantly changing, and once they were ready, they would go to other places to start their own businesses.

Why be stuck in the middle, subject to control and suppression in Beijing?

Moreover, they can't even utter a word about Pingqi Manufacturing, real estate projects, or hotel apartments.

It's far better to be sent out and take charge independently.

Yu Xiaoqiu gradually stood out.

The dormitory can accommodate about 3,000 people, and the residential area currently has more than 800 households.

Wei Dong finally met with some familiar construction battalion and company commanders, and asked them to seize the remaining thirty or forty days to improve the environment so that the entire industrial park would have a brand-new look.

Yu Xiaoqiu had this sensitivity: "Are we preparing for National Day and a leadership inspection?"

Wei Dong nodded: "We should be making preparations like this."

So when we went to check on the hotel, they all demanded that we start training our internal staff now, and if necessary, transfer staff from other places.

After National Day, we must make this place presentable to the public.

Therefore, in actual work, how can we avoid projects designed to celebrate achievements and projects rushed to meet deadlines?

Missing out would be a world of difference.

As dusk approached, Wei Dong checked the canteen's meal arrangements for foreign technicians, management, construction workers, and sanitary napkin factory workers.

Indeed, it is thanks to the Cherokee joint venture, which has been operating smoothly for more than two years and has become very skilled in this area.

The two canteens are separate, one for foreign workers and one for domestic workers. The foreign workers can take as much fruit, drinks and snacks as they want, like a buffet, but the food is actually similar to what domestic workers and construction workers eat.

Otherwise, the working class at the Pyeongjing Automobile Factory would have already erupted.

But the mainland workers really don't dare to leave things there and take them freely. They're used to being poor, and they can take everything in no time.

Let Wei Dong know that it will take two or three generations to slowly wash away the shadow of this hunger.

Yu Xiaoqiu stopped Wei Dong and told him to just have a couple of bites to show he was close to the people: "On the way back to the city, you'll pass the Jiangzhou Liaison Office in Beijing. The department heads and managers are waiting for you to have dinner there."

Such a thing doesn't happen in Shanghai.

They all fought their own battles.

Sure enough, when we drove back to the Jiangzhou Liaison Office restaurant near the Third Ring Road, Lao Qin, who was good at welcoming and seeing off guests, was already there with Sister Song from the hot pot restaurant, Liu Zhiyuan, the current manager and financial director of Pingjing Trading Company, Yu Xiaoqiu's aunt, Ai Jiayi, and Wang Zhiwen.

However, before arriving at the Beijing Liaison Office, Yu Xiaoqiu pointed to the roadside and said, "This is the International Exhibition Center, which opened two years ago. Last month, it hosted the International Textile Machinery Exhibition, and the cooperation amount reached was about 200 million US dollars. As we are a major textile country, the transaction amount this time is considered high."

Wei Dong immediately understood what the secretary meant: "Don't compare our work projects with others. Instead, you're comparing your bricklaying to that of the construction workers from earlier. Do you accept that?"

Yu Xiaoqiu chuckled.

So when the car was parked and the door opened, everyone noticed that the secretary was in a very good mood.

Wei Dong shook hands with everyone to thank them for waiting, and then jokingly told Sister Song, "Keep up the good work and try to open a hot pot restaurant in Hong Kong in a couple of years. That would be considered going global."

Sister Song replied respectfully and earnestly, "You said so, I will definitely try my best to do it!"

Wei Dong then started by asking her about the situation: "How is the business of the entire northern district commercial building? How is your hot pot restaurant doing?"

Sister Song quickly began to explain.

Her ability to spot a name for herself among so many unlicensed hot pot vendors in Jiangzhou by choosing the Food Street and standing out from the crowd demonstrates her exceptional talent.

Her explanation was quite organized. Yu Xiaoqiu, on the other hand, didn't make any of those little gestures like helping to set the table.

After we sat down in the private room, he gave a very generous introduction, saying that he had inspected the new industrial park upon arrival, talked about what he had seen, and gave instructions. Finally, he instructed Wang Zhiwen to work together to improve the university student employment center.

Sister Su, who used to be quite mercenary and had even led her child astray, tried to say something several times, but her niece always stopped her.

The child has really grown up.

Almost everyone listened to Yu Xiaoqiu with one ear and watched Wei Dong's reactions with the other.

After Wei Dong had a satisfactory understanding of the business situation of the commercial building and local supermarkets over the past three months, he sat down slightly and began to speak to everyone: "I spent the entire month of June at Citibank. I had two gains. First, I took over two automotive supply chains from Chrysler almost for free, and placed them in Beijing and Shanghai respectively. I spent nearly $100 million on this relocation process, and in the end, all the assets and shares belong to the state."

The subordinates, who had been focused intently on him, tensed up in disbelief.

Still proud.

At least he can come up with so much money and donate it to the country without hesitation, so he deserves to be called a patriotic businessman.

Over the past six months, Wei Dong's sudden shift to Hong Kong as his primary base, as revealed by Yu Xiaoqiu's casual remark upon her arrival, actually reflected the concerns of his subordinates.

Is something going to happen to my family?

Liu Zhiyuan still felt reassured, and couldn't help but flick his fingers, as if trying to calculate the relocation costs on the abacus.

Then came the second sentence: "Another thing is the computer sound card products we launched in cooperation with the Singapore R&D Center and Pengzhen Electronics Park. It is expected to generate more than 500 million US dollars in profit from the sales of Apple's new computer models this year, bringing more than 4 billion US dollars in foreign exchange earnings to the Shanghai computer OEM factory..."

Everyone must have been bursting into enthusiastic applause!
Qin Jianjun quickly suggested a toast.

Wei Dong smiled and waved his hand: "We still have to drive later, so we don't need to drink to express our emotions. Let's use tea instead of alcohol. The revolution is not yet successful, and comrades still need to work hard!"

Regardless of what kind of revolution they believed it was, everyone excitedly raised their glasses and shouted, "Keep going!"

"We still need to work harder!"

Then Wei Dong explained in a soft voice what was going on with the Singapore R&D center. He originally wanted to expand the sales of computers to Southeast Asia, still using the approach of basketball diplomacy to make connections, with Yu Xiaoqiu playing the straight man.

Hearing everyone laugh, he suddenly realized what was going on.

But Yu Xiaoqiu never expected that the seemingly unremarkable middle-aged man from last year, who wore glasses and was shirtless soldering circuit boards in a roadside shop, actually had a rather intelligent look in his eyes and could achieve such great results?

Wei Dong explained comfortably: "This is the power of research and development. He is not a famous expert, but he keenly grasped the point of making computers sing and produce sound. With the help of the chip factory we acquired and relocated from Southeast Asia, we developed a sound card that is unique to us. At the same time, Citibank personal computers entered a period where they needed to be innovative. This is what we mean by personal success must be linked to the opportunities of the times. If he had invented it a few years earlier or a few years later, the result would not have been the same."

I wonder if any of you here took this valuable viewpoint, which later became very famous online, to heart.

Therefore, these funds will be gradually used for many projects that can only be carried out in Hong Kong: "Liu Zhiyuan, as the person in charge of designing the financial structure of the trading company, immediately complete the formalities and go to Citibank to meet Ms. Qin. They are in California doing a lot of financial work with Apple and our software company. Go and learn to improve yourself."

The finance manager nodded excitedly and couldn't contain his joy.

He even gave her a quick test: "Xiao Yu, why don't you come along and experience it too? You have a passport now, the company can just send you a visa."

Yu Xiaoqiu was indeed different: "Haven't you been very busy with work these past two months? Let's give this opportunity to Sister Jiayi. I heard President Qin mention that the Disneyland parade and some professional performances in Hollywood are still worth learning from."

Wei Dong looked at the performing arts director with satisfaction. Ai Jiayi, who had traveled abroad with the song and dance troupe, was able to control her excitement. She could tell from her eyes that it was okay, and she smiled and said, "I will definitely do my job well. Thank you, Xiao Qiu."

It was only when Wei Dong continued talking about the overseas architects that most people realized that the reason Wei Dong was subjected to explosives as retaliation last year was because of this.

They must be very surprised.

Wei Dong tried to remain calm: "I encountered something similar this time. Two guys secretly left the team. I've always believed that people should respect themselves. I don't deny that for an ordinary student, trying every means to stay abroad is a huge change in his life, because the mainland is so poor now. Even if you go out to wash dishes or do illegal work, the economic reward is better than working a regular job in the mainland. But we are different. We have embarked on a different path. We are all trying our best to create opportunities for everyone to see more of the outside world and then come back to change everything that can be changed."

She then added, "From now on, Sister Su will be in charge of submitting the list of internal staff going abroad for exchange programs. We can now come and go as we please. Every year, we should train more outstanding staff to go abroad to learn, broaden their horizons, and improve their skills."

Yu Xiaoqiu's aunt quickly led the applause.

Wei Dong joked, "So the guy who stayed is the one who has made progress. This time, we specially transferred him to work in Hong Kong. He can arrange his own life, participate in top-tier architectural firm projects, and personally experience the design of projects worth hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars. Would he still be willing to waste his precious time washing dishes and doing illegal work?"

Everyone relaxed and laughed.

Then Wei Dongcai took the opportunity to introduce the basketball stadium, which cost several hundred million Hong Kong dollars. He said that sooner or later, the national team would be invited to play there, but more importantly, the development of the entire cultural and sports project would be a great opportunity for Ai Jiayi in the future.

The retired dancer, still in good shape, nodded steadily in agreement, and finally couldn't contain her excitement.

She also silently persisted in following her for several years, proving herself.

However, amidst the lighthearted conversation, Wei Dong casually asked Qin Jianjun, "With the Jiangzhou Liaison Office in Beijing located so close to the International Exhibition Center, has Jiangzhou City or Sichuan Province learned anything from various advanced international exhibitions?"

It sounds a bit sarcastic.
