Chapter 222
Secretary Chen was speechless when he heard this. He was just processing documents and really didn't want to be a factory director. He had no idea how difficult it was to be one.
Ever since his leader left, he has completely accepted the leader's work. He doesn't look like a leader anymore because he has Secretary Chen to use.
He is so pitiful, he is both the factory director and the secretary.
There is nothing he can't do.
One person does the work of two people, and is so busy that his hemorrhoids are almost flaring up.
So when Secretary Chen heard Qiao Jiahui's speech, he sneered, "My boss still has a dog outside?"
"Don't worry, no dog out there will be as useful as you."
Qiao Jiahui was delighted at first, but then he quickly realized, "No, Secretary Chen, why are you cursing?"
"Why are the dogs out there not as useful as me? Are you saying I'm a dog?"
Secretary Chen's eyes nearly popped out. He finished reading a document, signed it, and set it aside. He looked up and smiled, "You said that, not me."
When Qiao Jiahui heard this, he wanted to strangle him to death. He did just that, coming over and grabbing Secretary Chen's neck. Secretary Chen threw down the paper and pen and said, "Just strangle me to death. If you strangle me to death, I won't have to be the director of this old factory anymore."
Damn it, the factory manager is really not a human being.
I might as well be a secretary.
When Qiao Jiahui heard this, he immediately stopped and said, "Forget it. If you die, there will be no one to be the factory director."
He stood up and brushed off the non-existent dust on his body. "Secretary Chen, do your best. I'm going to find Brother Qiu Run."
After saying this, he was about to leave.
Secretary Chen stared at his back and said, "Qiao Jiahui, if you leave, who will take care of the work at Hongtai Factory?"
With Qiao Jiahui here, he can at least serve as his half-secretary. If he leaves, it will be the end of him.
Without even turning his head, Qiao Jiahui said, "I'm not your secretary. Find one yourself. I'll pay the salary."
After saying that, he ran away like a rabbit, fearing that Secretary Chen would call him to stop.
Secretary Chen looked at Qiao Jiahui like this and cursed.
As soon as Qiao Jiahui left, the phone in his office rang. It was Liang Qiurun calling, "Chen Zhen, it's me, Liang Qiurun."
The tone is concise, clear and crisp.
It was clearly the same voice, but Secretary Chen wanted to cry when she heard Liang Qiurun's voice, "Leader, when will you come back? I can't be the factory director."
When I was a secretary, I didn’t think it was difficult to be a factory director, but as soon as Liang Qiurun left, all the pressure fell on Secretary Chen.
Only then did he realize that money is hard to earn, but shit is hard to eat.
This job is really difficult.
Liang Qiurun held the receiver, his expression unchanged, his voice gentle, "Chen Zhen, what's wrong?"
"But are you in trouble?"
The more he acted like this, the more Secretary Chen was reluctant to leave Liang Qiurun. "Boss, why don't I quit being the factory director and become your secretary?"
He finally understood that he was destined to be second best forever in this life.
Liang Qiurun laughed, "Stop talking nonsense, Chen Zhen. Have you forgotten that when we were in Heilongjiang Province, the conditions were even worse than they are now?"
"Just do your best and see how far you go."
"If you really encounter any problems, you can call me or I can come over."
Secretary Chen felt like crying because the better Liang Qiurun was, the more he felt like a waste.
He had done a good job when his leader was around, but now that the leader is gone, he feels like he has lost his backbone.
He doesn't speak.
Liang Qiurun was not in a hurry, but asked gently, "Are you in trouble?"
"Talk to me, I'll see how to solve it."
Secretary Chen was holding the phone cord, almost twisted into a dough by him. "It's not that troublesome, but I just feel that there are too many things to do, so many that I don't know where to start."
Liang Qiurun, "Then prioritize. Also, Chen Zhen, you need a secretary."
A good secretary can help people get twice the result with half the effort.
The reason why Liang Qiurun has been able to do so well over the years is that he has Secretary Chen standing behind him, helping him clean up and handle logistics.
Secretary Chen murmured, "But I'm just a secretary myself."
"Chen Zhen, you're the factory director now. You need to change your mindset. In the future, you won't just be the director of Hongtai, you'll also be the director of other factories. You'll reach a higher position, so don't frame yourself, okay?"
Liang Qiurun's unhurried voice seemed to penetrate Secretary Chen's head, causing him to slowly calm down.
"Leader, do you want to do something bigger?"
As a partner, Secretary Chen knows Liang Qiurun too well.
Liang Qiurun didn't deny it. He hummed and said, "I do have this plan. So, Chen Zhen, you should get on your feet as soon as possible so that you can follow me in the future."
Hongtai is his temporary path, and it will also be Secretary Chen’s temporary path.
They will pass through Hongtai in the future, but Hongtai is not their final destination.
When Liang Qiurun said this, Secretary Chen immediately perked up, "I know, leader."
"I'm done here, and I'll follow you later."
Liang Qiurun hummed, then brought up the business, "I called to ask about your recent situation and whether you have encountered any difficulties. Secondly, I want to find Qiao Jiahui and have him answer the phone. I want to talk to him about something."
Secretary Chen was stunned when he heard this, "Jiahui is out."
He calmly complained to Liang Qiurun, "I asked Jiahui to help me here, and he ran away."
Liang Qiurun frowned, a hint of displeasure on his jade-white face. "Did he say where he was going?"
"No, I see he seems to want to come and see you."
When Liang Qiurun heard this, his fingers tapped rhythmically on the table. After a while, he said, "Well, tell Qiao Jiahui to call me back if he comes to the office."
"It's quite urgent."
He added one more sentence.
Secretary Chen naturally agreed.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Meishu immediately looked over and asked, "How is it?"
She didn't know if it was because the receiver on this side was of good quality, but she couldn't hear the call on the other side clearly.
Liang Qiurun, "Jiahui is out, and I haven't been able to contact him yet."
"I'll see. If it doesn't work, I'll go to Yangcheng and call him over."
However, Liang Qiurun did not expect Qiao Jiahui to be so quick. That night, Qiao Jiahui knocked on their door.
When Liang Qiurun looked at Qiao Jiahui standing at the door, he was still a little dazed, "Jiahui, why are you here?"
He had just moved to a new house, and Qiao Jiahui had never been to this address before.
How did he find me?
When he said this, Qiao Jiahui suddenly felt a little aggrieved, "Brother Qiurun, you just left without even telling me about something as important as moving."
Liang Qiurun raised his eyes and glanced at him. His eyes were clear and calm, without a trace of oppression, but it made Qiao Jiahui feel a chill on the back of his neck.
He immediately stopped complaining and no longer felt aggrieved.
He followed Liang Qiurun obediently into the house.
The house is not big, and you can see the whole house as soon as you enter. Qiao Jiahui was stunned for a moment, "Brother Qiurun, do you live in a place like this?"
He is quite smart and didn't say that your house is not as big as my toilet.
Liang Qiurun hummed and poured him some tea. "The apartment types here at China Merchants Bank are mostly two-bedroom, and there are only two-bedroom units for rent."
"I can only stay here temporarily."
Qiao Jiahui wanted to say something, but seeing that Liang Qiurun seemed quite satisfied with the environment, he muttered quietly, "Why do you have to do this? It's so good in Yangcheng. You live in a small white building, you're the factory manager, Hongtai's performance is good, basically you have a good life. Why do you have to come to Pengcheng to open up new land? There's nothing here, and everything has to start from scratch. How can you live like this?"
Qiao Jiahui treats Liang Qiurun as his own, which is why he says such heartfelt words.
Liang Qiurun poured two cups of tea, handed one to Qiao Jiahui, and took the other for himself. He blew away the floating tea leaves, took a sip, and then said slowly, "It's because life in Guangzhou is too good, so I want to change to a new life."
"Jiahui, a life where you can see the end is boring."
Everyone knows that Hongtai has a bright future, but that's only for the next few years. Liang Qiurun sees that bicycles may decline within the next decade, so he needs to plan ahead.
The layout of the motorcycle serves as a buffer between the upper and lower parts.
He is working in the present and looking to the future.
Liang Qiurun has always been a man of great foresight, but not many people can understand his foresight.
Fortunately, he was also lucky to meet Jiang Meishu, someone who could fully understand him.
For example, Qiao Jiahui doesn't understand. "The cost of investing in a new factory is not as good as expanding the old one. It's also incremental, and it can be done faster. Why bother now?"
Liang Qiurun said, "There is no benefit in expanding the old factory, but there is benefit in building a new factory in Pengcheng."
"Whether it's the land provided by China Merchants Bank or the tax policy, it's better than Guangzhou."
"Jiahui, the only way we can avoid being eliminated by the times is to move forward and make plans ahead."
He didn't expect Qiao Jiahui to understand these words. Liang Qiurun was just planting a seed of thinking in Qiao Jiahui. He hoped that when he was not around in the future, Qiao Jiahui would be able to think of these aspects on his own.
Sure enough, Qiao Jiahui seemed to be thinking about something after hearing this.
Jiang Meishu happened to come out of the public bathroom in the tube building. She was wearing a mint green sweater. She had fair skin, and this green color made her look even whiter and more radiant. In addition, she was thin and slender, so the sweater did not make her look bloated, but instead had a hint of thin beauty.
She was holding a few ripe mangoes in her hand, which were given to her by her sister-in-law Meng Juan when she went to visit her. Jiang Meishu didn't expect to see Qiao Jiahui at the door when she returned home.
She was stunned for a moment, then shouted with a smile, "Jiahui is here?"
Qiao Jiahui stood up and greeted, "Sister-in-law." very respectfully.
Jiang Meishu walked into the house and handed the mango over. Qiao Jiahui waved his hand and said, "I don't like mangoes."
Actually it's a mango allergy.
Seeing that he didn't want it, Jiang Meishu didn't bother to be polite with him. She found a peeler, peeled the mango, cut it into pieces and brought it to the table. Seeing that there were a few lychees as well, she washed them and brought them over.
Qiao Jiahui ate lychees, they were so sweet that he squinted his eyes.
Jiang Meishu took small bites of the mango. The mango was very smooth and juicy in her mouth. It was very delicious. After she swallowed it, she asked, "Lao Liang, have you told him?"
"say what?"
Qiao Jiahui was a little confused.
Liang Qiurun shook his head, "I haven't had time to say it yet."
Qiao Jiahui was even more confused. "What are you keeping secret?"
Liang Qiurun briefly explained the situation at China Merchants Group to Qiao Jiahui. Even though Qiao Jiahui wasn't the smartest one, he was able to give his opinion after listening. "Then buying the land will definitely be the priority."
It was his father who taught him this.
Liang Qiurun said, "Well, your sister-in-law and I also agree to buy the land first. However, the rule here is to bid first. Your sister-in-law and I have no experience in this area, so we want to ask you to go with us."
Qiao Jiahui spat out the lychee pit and nodded. "I have experience with this. I've been to an auction with my dad before, but we were bidding on ships back then."
"I just don't know if the auction rules in mainland China are the same as in Hong Kong."
"Let's go and see for ourselves."
"Has the bidding number been decided?"
"Number 21."
Qiao Jiahui counted on his fingers and said, "That means next week. The next week will be the Chinese New Year."
Liang Qiurun stood up, took the calendar, and circled it. "Well, so we want to finalize the land for the Hongtai branch factory before the New Year, and start construction when the new year begins."
All of this takes time.
"Okay then, I'll go with you then."
Qiao Jiahui answered straightforwardly, which made Liang Qiurun feel sorry for him. "I will keep the Hongtai brand, and then I will give you 20% of the shares."
It’s just like the situation at Hongtai Headquarters, except that the value of their shares is now switched.
Qiao Jiahui said honestly, "My father said that I can't stop you. You are like a dragon trapped in shallow waters. Sooner or later, you will leave Hongtai. If you reopen the factory, without my investment, you can give me 10% of the shares, which means you treat me as your own."
And Liang Qiurun gave him 20%.
This made Qiao Jiahui feel a little complicated, but of course he was more happy.
Liang Qiurun was stunned for a moment, "Jiahui, I used the Hongtai brand to open a branch factory. I am taking advantage of you."
Qiao Jiahui didn't think so. He waved his hand and said, "Brother Qiurun, you and I both know this. If you hadn't come to Hongtai," he said with a wry smile, "Hongtai would have gone bankrupt two years ago, and I wouldn't be getting millions in dividends every year like I do now."
"In this case, let alone the name Hongtai, if you really want to exchange shares with me, I should do it."
Qiao Jiahui is not smart, but he has a broad vision and a broad perspective. He knows very well that Hongtai’s success today is not due to him, but to Liang Qiurun.
If Liang Qiurun really wants to leave and break up with him, Hongtai may be prosperous for a while, but it will not be able to operate for long.
Qiao Jiahui didn't have this ability, he knew it very well.
Therefore, cooperating with Liang Qiurun is his best choice.
When Liang Qiurun heard this, he said nothing, but raised his hand and patted Qiao Jiahui on the shoulder, "Jiahui."
"Thank you."
Qiao Jiahui felt a little embarrassed, "Brother Qiurun, I want to thank you."
"As for the bidding, wait a minute. I'll go back and ask people. Once I find out everything, I'll go with you guys."
Liang Qiurun naturally agreed.
Qiao Jiahui was very quick. Although he had lost contact with his father, he still had three sisters. For this reason, he even made a special trip back to Hong Kong.
And you can go and return on the same day.
After obtaining the scriptures, he took his small notebook and found Liang Qiurun and Jiang Meishu. After reading it, Liang Qiurun had a rough idea of what was going on.
Before bidding, Liang Qiurun visited Section Chief Li of the China Merchants Group and Section Chief Lu of the Land Planning Bureau.
Liang Qiurun made all the preparations he could, and the last thing was money.
Jiang Meishu put all their savings into one passbook. She calculated that the total amount was 2.82 million.
This was almost all the money they had available. She was even somewhat relieved that she had paid off the mortgage. Otherwise, after all the money in her hands was withdrawn, she would have no money to pay for the mortgage and would feel insecure.
After the money, people and gifts are all prepared.
In a blink of an eye, it was December 21st, the day of the bidding. Liang Qiurun, Jiang Meishu, and Qiao Jiahui arrived at the bidding place early in the morning.
It's in the office next to the Land Planning Bureau.
When they arrived, they were surprised to find that the auction, which was originally scheduled for 9 o'clock, was already attended at 7:30.
Seeing this, Liang Qiurun was not panicked. "Let's go to the next door to have breakfast first, and then come over."
Very calm.
This made Jiang Meishu, who was a little nervous at first, feel a little relieved. However, during the meal, Jiang Meishu felt that her food was a bit tasteless, but Liang Qiurun picked up some shrimp dumplings for her and said, "Eat two more, you have a tough battle to fight later."
He just looked and saw that there were at least twenty people here, not including those who didn't come.
Therefore, this auction will definitely not be short.
Jiang Meishu couldn't eat any more, but forced herself to eat two more, then left in a hurry, and went to the auction place to wait with a worried look on her face.
They arrived at the right time. The office door just opened. It was a clerk from the Land Planning Bureau. He said to the outside, "Everyone can come in."
"Don't make any noise."
"The auction will start promptly at nine o'clock."
Liang Qiurun, carrying a briefcase, walked in one after another with Jiang Meishu and Qiao Jiahui. After entering, they chose a seat in the middle.
The three of them sat side by side.
My butt hasn’t even warmed up yet.
Li Chengdong also came in with his subordinates. When he saw Liang Qiurun and others, he was stunned. Their seats were originally arranged in the second row. He avoided the guidance of his subordinates and walked directly towards Liang Qiurun and others.
"Director Liang, Miss Jiang."
"Jiahui, why are you all here?"
That's a clever question.
Without waiting for Liang Qiurun and Jiang Meishu to answer, Qiao Jiahui said with a playful smile, "Brother Li, what are you doing here? We are here to do the same thing."
This made Li Chengdong, who was a very thoughtful person, think a few more times in an instant.
"The Qiao family is also coming to Pengcheng to do real estate business?"
Opening your mouth is a test.
Qiao Jiahui sneered, "Don't worry, my dad doesn't do real estate business."
This made Li Chengdong breathe a sigh of relief. "So what are you doing?"
"quiet."
"Don't whisper or talk while bidding."
“Maintain a quiet environment.”
Li Chengdong was unable to get any information from the person above him, so he could only go to the auction location with doubts.
Wait until he leaves.
Qiao Jiahui whispered to Liang Qiurun, "Li Chengdong is okay as a salesperson, he's the top seller, but as a friend, he's too thoughtful. My sister told me not to have too much contact with him."
"He said I was stupid and couldn't beat him."
Liang Qiurun was a little amused by what he said, "Yeah, I know, Jiahui is listening carefully."
This one sentence calmed down the furious Qiao Jiahui. It seemed that compared to Li Chengdong, he was more of Brother Qiurun's friend.
That is to say.
Brother Qiurun no longer has a dog outside.
This made Qiao Jiahui very satisfied.
Thinking of this, Qiao Jiahui glanced at Li Chengdong covertly, and it happened that Li Chengdong was also paying attention to them.
Li Chengdong felt uneasy when he saw this.
This person has many thoughts and ideas. So at this moment, Li Chengdong already has dozens of ideas in his mind.
The final conclusion is to take one step at a time.
If Qiao Jiahui, Liang Qiurun and others were to compete with him for the same piece of land, he would never give up no matter what.
In the end, it all comes down to the financial resources of both sides.
In terms of financial resources, even if Qiao Jiahui's Qiao family is included, they are still not as good as him.
Thinking of this, Li Chengdong felt slightly relieved.
The bidding on the stage has begun, and Secretary Yao from the Land Planning Bureau is in charge of presiding over the event.
"The first plot of land we're bidding on today is Xiaodongmen in Luohu. It's 7,300 square meters, and the starting price is 5 million."
As soon as these words fell, the office fell silent.
Although Jiang Meishu coveted this piece of land, after all, everyone knew about Xiaodongmen in Pengcheng in the future. It was almost the most prosperous area, bar none.
Unfortunately, the price was too high. The starting price was twice their total net worth, so Jiang Meishu could only look at it.
She didn't say anything, and the others did the same.
The first piece of land that came up directly isolated most of the people present outside the door. Didn’t they want it?
No.
Yes, I have no money.
Seeing that no one spoke, Li Chengdong spoke up, "Five million and ten thousand."
The host wasn't satisfied with this number. He frowned slightly and called out to the surroundings, "Anyone else want to bid?"
"Five million two hundred thousand."
"Five million four hundred thousand."
"Five million eight hundred thousand."
"Six million."
…
Finally, as the bid reached 8.4 million, Li Chengdong was clearly displeased. He looked at his rival bidder and said, "Zhao Songqi, are you sure you want to compete with me for this piece of land?"
This was a name Jiang Meishu had never heard of. She looked over curiously. Li Chengdong's Zhao Songqi was very sharp. He spoke in broken Mandarin, "Li Chengdong, is this land yours?"
have to.
There was a strong smell of gunpowder from the moment he opened his mouth.
Li Chengdong was so angry that he was fuming. He could only suppress his temper and continue to quote, "8.6 million."
Zhao Songqi continued to add, "8.8 million."
"Nine million."
It seemed that a fight was about to break out again.
Jiang Meishu's heart was pounding as she listened, but Li Chengdong suddenly stood up and said, "I'm going to the bathroom, I'll be right back."
This is a halftime break, and it also gives the other party room to negotiate.
The host above naturally understands.
"Then take a five-minute break and continue in five minutes."
After hearing this, the crowd who were originally watching the fun suddenly stopped paying attention.
Jiang Meishu was nervous and drank too much water that morning, so she said to Liang Qiurun, "I'm going to the bathroom too."
Liang Qiurun raised his head, gentle as jade, "I'll accompany you."
"No need, I'll be back soon, just keep an eye on the scene."
Liang Qiurun didn't force it.
Jiang Meishu went in and came back quickly, just when she was about to leave the bathroom.
Li Chengdong, who had just come out of the bathroom, suddenly grabbed Jiang Meishu's wrist and said in a low voice, "Miss Jiang, can you do me a favor?"
