It is good news that Hongya agrees to build a steel plant. Although it is only agreed in principle and has not been announced yet, Zhang Hai's words should be very accurate, and Wan Feng certainly knows his source of information.

As for whether Zhang Hai’s news was leaked, it doesn’t seem like a secret, right?

Even if it is good news, we cannot be blindly optimistic. After all, this is not a good time.

After the failure of the price breakthrough in 1988, banks have begun to withdraw credit, and infrastructure projects have been cancelled or are about to be cancelled in batches.

At this point in time, it is still very risky for Hongya to invest in two companies at once, and it is hard to say whether it can get support from banks and policies.

But this is not something Wan Feng can control, he can only wait and see.

In fact, a plan has now emerged in Wan Feng’s mind.

If the plan of Hongya Steel Plant cannot be realized, it is not impossible for him to invest in building the steel plant himself.

Once this steel plant is built, even if the products cannot be exported, they can be supplied locally.

He must have his own source of high-quality steel supply, otherwise he would be strangled by others.

It was easy to deal with the lack of advanced equipment. After 1992, when the Sino-Soviet border was reopened, he asked the Soviets... who were already Russian screw manufacturers at that time, to produce a smaller set of equipment for him.

The people at Wan Feng's table are all prominent figures in Jiangwei area. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are local tyrants.

When the food and wine were almost served, the local tyrants began to tell all kinds of stories, ranging from jokes to national affairs, whatever they could get their hands on.

Just when they were chatting happily, someone ran in and went straight to his table, sitting at the table without treating himself as an outsider.

When Wan Feng saw the person coming, his eyes seemed to be rusty and he didn't move for a long time.

"Oh my god! Brother Xia and I were nagging you just a few minutes ago. I didn't expect you to be so resilient. You came right away. Didn't your convoy stop? How did you get here?"

Zhang Shiqian took off his cotton-padded jacket and put it aside. "Don't mention it. I just heard from a driver on my last team the day before yesterday that Brother Chen was getting married. Do you think I can't come?"

When they were in Heihe, only he, Zhang Zhiyuan, Chen Dao and the other two had similar ages. Zhang Zhiyuan was the oldest, followed by Chen Dao. He was the same age as Chen Dao, but his birthday was later than Chen Dao's.

So they have a common language to talk to.

They have a good relationship with each other, so it’s not surprising that he came all the way to Chen Dao’s wedding.

"You haven't told me how you got here yet?"

"I flew here. I've seen through you Jiang Wei bunch. None of you are good. Brother Chen Dao's marriage is such a big deal, yet no one told me. I don't have a phone at home, or are you reluctant to spend the money on those two phone calls?"

"Hehe! You can't blame me for this. As you know, most wedding dates here are booked on the spot. When I came back from your place, the date hadn't been announced yet, so how could I tell you?"

"No! I have to make you drink three cups as punishment. As the leader of the Nanwan Factory, you have to drink first!"

Wan Feng was the first to object to this suggestion. It wasn't him getting married, so why should he be fined to drink three cups?

"Brother Zhang! You're being unreasonable. If you want to punish someone, you should punish Engineer Chen. What does his marriage have to do with us?"

Zhang Shiqian thought about it and said, "Yeah, since I'm late, I can drink three cups as punishment, right?"

After saying that, I had a drink on an empty stomach.

Wan Feng was speechless. This old bastard was even more cruel. He had lived in the north for a long time and had already figured out the temperament of northerners.

You don't want to drink, right? I'll drink it! Let's see what you guys do?

Zhang Shiqian has come all the way here and has already started working. How can I just stand by and watch?

Wan Feng had no choice but to have a drink with him.

Seeing that everyone at the table had drunk, Zhang Shiqian smiled.

You little brats, keep nagging at me, I can't handle you.

"Kid! You said you were talking about me just now. Are you saying something bad about me behind my back again?"

"Am I that kind of person?"

"Yes!" Zhang Shiqian said firmly.

If you say yes, then it is. Wan Feng can't twist the other person's tongue and force them to say no.

"Brother Xia said he's planning to invest in building an instant noodle factory in the south, so I thought of you. I wonder if you're interested in taking on this order?"

"Yes! I told our town leaders that we wanted to build a motorcycle factory in Datan Village, and they were so happy that they almost fainted. If we also built an instant noodle factory, they would probably be even happier."

Of course they were happy. A motorcycle factory could generate so much profit and tax for their town in a year, and there were also plenty of job opportunities.

Now there is another instant noodle factory, and Wan Feng would be happy if he were the leader.

These are all real political achievements.

"In that case, when you get back, finalize the plan. Once it's almost done, go build the factory after the Lunar New Year. The instant noodle factory's production is relatively simple, so we should be able to open it that year. Oh, and how's your work on the motorcycle factory going?"

It has been almost a month since Wan Feng returned from Dongguan. There should be some news.

"In the nearly one month since you left, I haven't been idle at all. I secured the land and brought Yu Jiadong in to work on the design and budget. Now the preliminary preparations are almost done, the engineering design and budget are complete, and construction will begin on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month after the Chinese New Year. Even the construction team is yours. Are you satisfied now?"

A construction crew for your home?

I said so fast.

Most of the factories in Nandawan are built by the First Construction Team and the Third Construction Team. They are very familiar with building factories and have no pressure at all from factory design to construction.

"Has Yu Jiadong returned?"

"He said he would come back around the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, and after the New Year he would bring the team over to start building the factory."

Yu Jiadong will build a factory in Dongguan first? But what about Shenzhen?

"He said the situation in Shenzhen wasn't urgent yet, so he let Wang Chulong's construction team handle it first. He said he would take care of us first, and then his team would go to Shenzhen after the factory was finished."

Yu Jiadong's people are building a factory in Dongguan first, which means that the project in Shenzhen doesn't seem to be very urgent, and the cooperation with Juchuang Group is probably almost done.

Based on just a few words from Zhang Shiqian, Wan Feng judged that the cooperation between Qiandong Company and Juchuang Group had made progress, and his judgment was absolutely correct.

Since Qiandong and Juchuang came into contact, the pace of cooperation between the two sides has gradually accelerated and has entered the stage of practical cooperation.

When Yu Jiadong comes back for the New Year, I must tell him that if Shali doesn't treat me to a high-end banquet, he won't even let him repair the toilet.

He is very vindictive.

If we cooperate with Juchuang, some projects will definitely fall into the hands of Shali's contractors. This guy has disgusted me many times. How can I do this without disgusting him?

Unless he doesn't do Juchuang's work.

If this guy takes the job at Juchuang, he will definitely be disgusted.
