“Brother Bo, I’m planning to build a power plant. You can take a leave of absence without pay and help me with the coal. I’ll make you the head of the energy department and deputy director of the power plant,” Xing Baohua said.
Liu Haibo readily agreed. Working with Xing Baohua would be very promising. Look at the High-tech Development Zone now, look what it's become! Just a year and a half ago, it was all farmland!
How many factories are there now? Xing Baohua is building a power plant, and Liu Haibo probably thinks he was annoyed by the last time the power company messed with him.
The power plant is a good company! And the head of the energy department is a lucrative position. As for Xing Baohua putting the deputy plant director on the list, that's just a nominal title.
The real issue is still coal mining, which leaves a lot of room for manipulation.
Liu Haibo is willing to do this kind of work, and he'll bring Zhang Pangzi along.
Xing Baohua invited Liu Haibo for drinks not only to arrange some tasks for him, but also to inquire about some news in the city.
Xing Baohua wanted to hear everything, whether it was rumors or official information, since he hadn't been home for two or three months and needed to keep track of what was going on.
As we chatted, we drank a little too much.
Xing Baohua hadn't had a proper drink in a long time. Since he'd been busy, he hadn't been able to relax, and there was no one to drink with him.
When he left, Xiaobo helped him into the car, and because she was worried, she followed him in the car.
When Xing Baohua woke up the next morning, there was someone else beside her.
I even have some memory gaps and can't remember what happened. Well, it's all the alcohol's fault.
I used to only take advantage of Xiaobo in my mind, but now I've gotten involved without even realizing it, and I feel a little guilty about it.
Xiao Bomei probably sensed Xing Baohua's movement and opened her eyes to wake up. Seeing that he was about to get out of bed, she hugged him tightly from behind.
Xing Baohua patted her little hand and said, "I'm just going to the restroom. By the way, where is this?"
Looking at the unfamiliar surroundings, I couldn't remember where this place was.
“My dorm room,” Xiaobo said.
Xing Baohua nodded and hurriedly went to relieve himself.
I have a lot to do today. I asked Xiaobo to get me some food, and I also need to go to the factory.
I need to report to the city government, and then I need to convene a meeting with the preparatory team when I get back. I also need to inspect the factory's production, and so on.
Xiao Bomei didn't cook here either, but went out and got some fried dough sticks, soy milk, and pickled vegetables for Xing Baohua.
Xing Baohua hadn't eaten this for a long time, and it tasted really good.
Especially refreshing pickled vegetables, which help to cut through the greasiness.
I've been busy all morning, reporting what needed to be reported and meeting with one or two people.
In the afternoon, as I was looking at some production reports from the factory and several research inventions from the laboratory, there was a knock on the door.
With the secretary absent and no one guarding the door, Xing Baohua had no choice but to let someone in.
Upon seeing that they were the general managers of the First, Second, and Third Construction companies, they all came over with smiles on their faces.
Xing Baohua was a little annoyed by their smiling faces.
They refused the cigarettes offered to them and said they hadn't been invited to sit down.
He asked, "Are you here to ask for money or do you have something else to do? If you want money, go to the infrastructure department."
"Director Xing, we're here to apologize to you. Some time ago, some people from the provincial government came down, and we had a few drinks together. I don't know who they are anymore. Please forgive us, we're very magnanimous." The boss of the First Construction Company said with a smile.
"If you have something to say, just say it. If you don't, don't bother me with my work. I just got back. See? I have a pile of reports on my desk that I need to finish quickly. Also, for engineering matters, go to the infrastructure department. If you need money, go to the infrastructure department too."
Xing Baohua waved his hand impatiently, feeling increasingly disgusted by these people.
They're all on the same side, from the same city, we see each other all the time. And they've given them tons of projects, only to stab us in the back like that—who could stand that?
"Nothing much, just wanted to confirm, is Director Xing going to build a power plant?" the Second Construction Company's boss said with a smile.
"Whether we build it or not is none of your business. The power plant has very strict quality requirements. It requires bidding. If you want to take the job from the power plant, we'll notify you to bring the drawings and prepare your bids. Okay, I'm busy now!" Xing Baohua waved his hand again and said.
After everyone left, he called a young man from the general office to be his temporary secretary and had him guard the door first.
Don't let random people come over.
This afternoon, Xing Baohua refused to see anyone, wanting to finish his official duties first.
Around 3 PM, this guy was halfway through reading a report when he received a call from Director Zhang of Luzhong Factory, and only then did he get up and go to the lithography machine factory.
After meeting with the core team behind the lithography machine, Xing Baohua made a bold statement, telling them to go all out and that while there might not be enough manpower, there would be plenty of money.
We can only provide maximum financial support; as for hiring, we'll have to figure that out gradually.
He then took out the graphics card chip design blueprints he had given to Mr. Joe years ago and handed them to the main creative team, asking them to use this old equipment to manufacture the graphics card chip first.
Xing Baohua will soon coordinate with the power company to provide the lithography plant with maximum power output to ensure the machines can operate.
Let's get the lab products out first; Xing Baohua's later products require graphics card support.
Upgrading old machines to new ones is equivalent to developing new equipment from scratch. It's not upgrading equipment within the same generation, but rather a generational upgrade.
It is also very difficult, and a lot of optical equipment is used.
Even if it's difficult, we have to grit our teeth and keep going. Once the arrow is released, there's no turning back.
The task has been assigned, and the lithography team will help him with the public relations for the graphics card in the near future.
His current task is to coordinate with the power sector to solve the power problem for the lithography machine.
The power sector is subject to dual regulation, but that's the reality. The city's influence over the power sector is still limited, as they have direct, vertical management.
