The two men entered the project manager's office. After exchanging pleasantries, Dong Qing said, "Manager Zhang, should we submit a report to your head office requesting to take on the first phase of my automobile manufacturing plant project? Is that alright?"
Manager Zhang said, "There's absolutely no problem with that. Our company is in the construction business. I'll check with head office right away."
Dong Qing said, "After you get permission, contact Manager Gu directly at my company, and then build factory buildings, workshops, office areas, and living areas according to my company's needs!"
The project contracting process takes time, and the details can only be resolved gradually later. Today is just a preliminary greeting to the construction team.
After finishing his business, Dong Qing said goodbye to Manager Zhang and walked out of the project department with Gu Yurou.
They stopped in front of the car. Dong Qing said, "The 15 million loan is specifically for the construction of the wholesale market. Don't divert it to other places. I'll give you 1 million later. If you need to supplement it later, you can get funds from the machinery factory and the bean product factory accounts."
Dongqing's company is in its initial stage, strong on the outside but weak on the inside. The company started too fast and there are many negative factors. If the cash flow is not controlled properly, the capital chain will break, which will have adverse consequences. Many companies go bankrupt because of poor management.
His current approach is like trying to eat a single bun in multiple ways, leading to widespread famine and potentially causing starvation if not handled properly.
It's more like walking a tightrope, a desperate gamble. Most people wouldn't approve of his risky move, which explains why his wife threatened to divorce him to force him to give up the investment. No one can condone his risky investment methods.
Despite lacking a substantial family fortune, he dared to take risks and undertake significant projects. Only he dared to put these plans into practice, and all his actions further highlight his courage and boldness in taking such risks.
His career is only one step away from success or failure. His current situation is like a balance scale. Once it loses its balance and can no longer support the weight, he will be utterly defeated.
Gu Yurou is the company manager, and she has the authority to allocate funds between the two companies. She said, "I understand."
Dong Qing said, "Go ahead and get busy, I'm going back."
Gu Yurou said "okay" and turned to walk towards the Su Village office.
Dong Ermei came to the house at noon. She asked about Fang Lin's job and took her to the bank to meet the bank manager in the afternoon.
Around 2 PM, Dong Ermei led Fang Lin into the bank manager's office. The manager looked at her academic credentials and told her to start work officially the next day, and to change into her work clothes in the afternoon to familiarize herself with the job.
Dong Ermei helped Fang Lin complete the onboarding procedures and gave her a work uniform. From then on, she was an employee of the bank.
The female bank employees' uniforms are very nice: a white short-sleeved top, a black business skirt, and a name tag. Shoes are not provided by the employees themselves.
Fang Lin went to the changing room to change into her work clothes, hung her work badge around her neck, and followed Dong Ermei towards the business hall.
In the afternoon, Dong Qing and Li Yuzhu drove to the pig farm; the couple hadn't visited in a long time.
They looked around the pig farm and saw that the piglets they bought in the spring had grown to weigh over 200 pounds.
Li Yuzhu said, "Our pigs are growing so fast!"
Dong Qing said, "Of course it's related to the feed we give them. And we raise purebred pigs, so if we feed them good feed, they grow faster."
Pigs are fed a mixture of several feeds. When the nutrients in the feed are properly adjusted, the pigs will naturally grow faster.
Soybean oil cake contains about 45% protein, while soybean residue has a relatively low protein content. Soybean oil cake is the main source of protein for pigs, while soybean residue has a very low protein content and can only be used as a filler feed for pigs.
The various nutrients fed to the pigs mainly come from soybean oil cake and other mixed feeds, all formulated by technicians according to nutrient ratios. How could his pigs not grow fast?
At this moment, the technician walked towards them, and Dongqing asked, "When can the sows conceive?"
The technician said, "The pigs at our farm are all purebred, and they conceive much earlier than the local pigs raised by farmers. Our sows are generally already pregnant, and they will give birth to piglets in October."
Dong Qing asked, "When will this batch of pigs be ready for market?"
The technician said that there is no set time for pigs to be slaughtered. This breed of pig should be slaughtered when it reaches a maximum weight of 400 jin (200 catties). If it continues to be fed, its growth will be very slow, and it will stop growing after reaching a certain size.
Therefore, each pig is ready for slaughter as soon as it reaches 400 jin (approximately 200 catties), and this batch of pigs will be raised until the end of the year at the latest.
The meat processing plant can't move 2,000 pigs at a time, and even if they are taken back, they can't be slaughtered all at once. Each pig grows at a different rate, so they are slaughtered in batches. As long as the weight reaches the target, the meat processing plant manager is notified to come and pick up the pigs.
The pig farm has not had a single pig die from disease so far, which is already a good prospect for pig farming.
The couple stayed at the pig farm for about an hour, explained some specific matters to the farm manager, Dong Tao, and then got into their car and went home.
When Fang Lin got home from get off work that evening, Li Yuzhu asked, "Fang Lin, are you adjusting well to work at the bank?"
Fang Lin said, "I wasn't used to it at first, but I got used to it after a while."
Dong Qing said, "Okay, you can work at the bank for now. Come back and help me whenever the company needs someone."
Fang Lin said, "Okay, I'll do whatever you say."
Time flies, and three months later, Li Yuzhu returned from a trip. She said, "Honey, I haven't had my period for two months, and I've been feeling nauseous and vomiting a lot lately. Based on my experience with my first pregnancy, I think I'm pregnant."
Dongqing said, "How is that possible? You have an IUD, how could you be pregnant?"
Li Yuzhu said, "I heard that some people's IUDs fall out on their own, and they even had their second child secretly. Could it be that mine fell out when I was urinating and I didn't notice?"
Dong Qing said, "I've heard of such things before, so it's possible that it's true."
Li Yuzhu said, "Honey, I have an idea, but I don't know if it's feasible!"
Dong Qing asked, "What are your thoughts?"
Li Yuzhu said, "Family planning will become stricter and stricter. If the IUD falls out, there is a high chance that you are pregnant. If you are pregnant unexpectedly, we will have the baby."
While I'm often away from home delivering goods, family planning officials come to my house and tell me I'm out on a delivery trip. They say I'll be fine as long as I avoid them.
If this pregnancy is unplanned, I can still run the business for at least two more months. After the baby is born, have our client arrange a room for me. I'll stay out of town and won't be coming back. You can stay home and handle loading the goods, while my sister and Su Wei drive the trucks. I'll unload the goods out of town. On the way back, have my sister bring the money back to you. I'll come back before the baby is due.
Dongqing said, "I'm worried about you living alone in another city with such a big belly. After you get pregnant, you don't need to drive anymore. Go back to your parents' house and I'll drive with you. If there's anything at the company, I'll handle it when I get back."
Li Yuzhu said, "It's not safe for me to stay at my parents' house during my pregnancy. If they find out that I'm not pregnant, they'll force me to go to the hospital for an abortion. It's safest to hide in another city for a few months. That's settled."
