Shenfang No. 35 Factory has been greatly improved. The neat new factory building and newly renovated factory gate building, even the protection at the door seems more energetic than before.

This factory, which should have been buried in the dust of history, was rejuvenated because of Wang Lin's intervention.

Wang Lin and Zhou Xia came to Zhou Boqiang's office.

"Hello Director Zhou." Wang Lin smiled.

"Wang Lin is here, come quickly, sit down and talk." Zhou Boqiang stood up happily and ordered the factory assistant to make tea.

Wang Lin smiled and said, "Director Zhou, I think you always work in the factory? Do you prefer to be the factory director?"

Zhou Boqiang laughed and said, "I am the deputy director, but I am also the director of Factory 35. Generally speaking, the positions that are held on the same are relatively important, but the job is actually a false one."

Wang Lin said: "How is the benefits in the factory?"

Speaking of serious matters, Zhou Boqiang's face became serious: "I just turned losses into profits, and there is still a long way to go."

Wang Lin said: "Is the acquisition price of cotton too high? It leads to the reduction of the competitiveness of cotton yarn?"

Zhou Boqiang said: "You are a smart person, and you are also an elite figure in our textile industry. Some things can't be hidden from you. You are right. The purchase price of cotton is indeed a bit high. Now that there are more farmers working, the enthusiasm for growing cotton is reduced. There are fewer retail investors who grow cotton, the overall cotton output will decrease, and the price will naturally rise. The purchase price of cotton directly affects the ex-factory price of cotton yarn. When our prices are raised, our competitiveness in the international market will become weaker."

Wang Lin said: "Since that's the case, why not cultivate the cotton area by yourself?"

Zhou Boqiang stroked his big back with his hands, and shook his head with a smile: "Our factory is going to reclaim the cotton area? Isn't that a joke? If we sell our factory, we can't afford to raise a cotton area."

Wang Lin said: "Please be honest. Director Zhou's ability is only placed in Factory 35, which is a bit wasteful. You should have a broader world to exert your abilities."

Zhou Boqiang said: "I am old, so where do I have any ambitions? This world belongs to you after all."

Wang Lin said: "Director Zhou is in his prime and has rich grassroots work experience, which is a valuable asset. I think you can guide the future of the textile industry."

Zhou Boqiang smiled and said, "The future of the textile industry? I think you can lead it! Our Textile Bureau held a regular meeting last week, and the director praised you. The bamboo fiber industry is indeed a stadium industry and can also guide the future direction of the textile industry."

Wang Lin said: "Although bamboo fiber is good, it still cannot be separated from cotton. Cotton is an important strategic substance. Many people only know that cotton is a civilian substance, but they do not know that cotton is also an important military substance. After cotton or cotton velvet and mixed acid with concentrated nitric acid and concentrated sulfuric acid, it is made of fire cotton. When the fire cotton explodes, its volume will suddenly increase by 47 times incredibly!"

Zhou Boqiang said in surprise: "Wang Lin, I didn't expect you to understand this."

Zhou Xia smiled and said, "He just knows some strange knowledge."

Wang Lin said: "Before liberation, our country's cotton market was injured by US cotton, and the entire domestic cotton production was almost paralyzed, which led to our country's heavy dependence on US cotton after liberation. When we resisted U.S. aggression and aid Korea, our army could not even wear cotton coats. A seemingly insignificant cotton war is the most important strategy of the United States. Through cotton, a country's economic lifeline can be controlled."

Zhou Boqiang said in a deep voice: "I know this! So later the country formulated a set of combination punches to drive American cotton out of our country! Our current cotton production is enough to be self-sufficient."

Wang Lin said: "However, with the large population of our country, coupled with the deepening of reform and opening up, more and more cotton farmers have given up growing cotton and come out to work to make money. Perhaps the cotton crisis will repeat itself?"

Zhou Boqiang pondered: "The country must have thought of what we can think of, and it should make corresponding adjustments."

Wang Lin said: "How the country adjusts its strategy is the general direction. Can our Shenfang Factory also build a cotton area?"

Zhou Boqiang smiled and said, "Do you want to do it?"

Wang Lin nodded slowly: "Think! If you want to be uncontrollable by others, it is best to produce anything yourself. For farmers, you are not panic when you have grain in your hands. For us textile workers, you are not panic when you have cotton in your hands."

Zhou Boqiang said: "Wang Lin, if you really want to build a cotton area, I support you! Where are you going to build a cotton area?"

Wang Lin said: "We will build Nanjing cotton. The cotton production areas in my country were previously planted in Jiangsu Province, Anhui Province, Shanghai and other places. All of them were planted around Nanjing. The cloth woven from Nanjing cotton was called Nanjing cloth. It was sold well in the world in the 18th century and was exclusively for aristocratic women. It was precisely because of this huge cake that the Americans set their sights on our cotton economy. Now the cotton production in Nanjing is very small, and the cotton production area has also moved from the south to the north. But if we build a cotton production area in the south, it is still OK. The seeds of Nanjing cotton are a high-quality cotton category."

Zhou Boqiang said: "The rich land, coupled with high-quality seeds, will get the effect of one plus one greater than two. However, isn't it a tough thing for farmers to give up eating rice and grow uneasy cotton?"

Wang Lin said: "We can propose a strategy of exchanging goods for goods. One pound of cotton can be exchanged for 6.5 pounds of rice, and one acre of land can harvest 150 pounds of cotton. It is enough for the whole family to eat it! Or directly exchange money and give a certain price subsidy for each ton of cotton. Another method is to set up a cotton company and directly hire someone to plant it. Cotton farmers are our employees and pay them wages."

Zhou Boqiang showed a surprised expression on his face: "Wang Lin, are you going to have any big moves for such a big battle?"

Wang Lin smiled and said, "Nothing can be hidden from Director Zhou's eyes. I planted a cotton base, of course, not to make money by selling cotton. But I wanted to set up a new textile company."

Zhou Boqiang asked: "What kind of company?"

Wang Lin said: "Home Textile Company."

"Home textiles? Bedding? Duvet covers, sheets, etc."

"Yes, it's this kind of product. There are also curtains, carpets and other products. Now the automotive industry is becoming more and more developed, and the demand for automotive carpets will also increase day by day."

"This is indeed a good business, and your mind works well."

"Home textile companies need a lot of cotton yarn and a lot of cotton. This is also the reason why they want to build a cotton production area."

"Okay!" Zhou Boqiang smiled, "If you play a big game, you don't have to rely on others when you have your own cotton in the future. The investment in the early stage will be relatively large, but you have money now."

Wang Lin said: "I am rich, but I am short of people. Aixiu Home Textiles needs a helmsman."

Zhou Boqiang said: "There are so many people in Aixu Group, but can't we choose a manager?"

Wang Lin said: "Sister Xia is my personnel director, and she recommended you to me."

Zhou Boqiang was stunned and asked in a deep voice: "I?"

Wang Lin said: "Yes, it's you, Director Zhou."

Zhou Boqiang took out a pack of cigarettes, handed one to Wang Lin, and lit one himself, and said slowly: "You have gone around so much, it turns out that it is to talk about this!"

Wang Lin said: "Yes. Director Zhou, I sincerely want to invite you to join our Aixu Group, as the vice president of our group, and also serve as the head of Aixu Group. I wonder if Director Zhou can come to take on this position with a downright destiny?"

Zhou Xia smiled and said, "Uncle, Wang Lin is very good. Aixu Group is better than Shenfang Factory. Come here! I was reluctant to resign at that time. Now after joining Aixu Group, I realized that this place is really good!"

Zhou Boqiang slowly sucked the cigarette but did not reply immediately.

Wang Lin also sucked the clouds and did not urge him.

Zhou Boqiang was overwhelmed with emotion!

Two years ago, Wang Lin was an ordinary mechanic at Shenfang Factory, and Zhou Boqiang was the factory director.

Now Zhou Boqiang is still the factory director, but he has changed his factory to be the factory director.

But Wang Lin became a billionaire!

Now, Wang Lin is actually coming to ask Zhou Boqiang to help him do things!

It would be strange if Zhou Boqiang had no idea!

Wang Lin also knew that what Zhou Boqiang was most saddled with was probably the hurdle in his heart.

Some people would rather stay where they are than bend over to help their former subordinates because they can't get through that bend.

After Zhou Boqiang had just finished smoking a cigarette, he said in a deep voice: "Wang Lin, you respect me. I am very happy to ask me to help you do things. I promise you that I am willing to be the manager of Aixu Home Textiles!"

Wang Lin said respectfully: "Director Zhou, thank you! You can come to help me, which is the blessing of our Aixu Group! That's great! With your joining, we will definitely be able to create a bigger world in the future!"

Zhou Boqiang said: "Wang Lin, I am older and my energy is still worse than that of young people. You must be mentally prepared for this."

Wang Lin smiled and said, "What I like is your age, and you are not old now. The construction of home textile and cotton areas requires people like you with rich industry experience to lead the way."

Zhou Boqiang said: "I know you are a very thoughtful person. You can do such a big career in the textile industry, which is better than many people. Of course, you are stronger than me. From now on, I will obey your leaders and follow your instructions to do things! I am a person who can correct my identity and status. You can rest assured of this."

Wang Lin said: "Thank you Director Zhou. I got Director Zhou, just like Liu Bei got Kong Ming!"

Zhou Boqiang laughed and said, "Wang Lin, you respect me so much."

Wang Lin said: "Director Zhou, because your original service and rank are the highest in our company, your annual salary will also be adjusted. I will give you a salary of 50,000 yuan per year. It will be equipped with a special car, an assistant, and a fundraising house. There will be dividends at the end of the year. Other benefits are the same as everyone else. I wonder what other requirements do you have?"

Zhou Boqiang's expression frightened.

Although he is the deputy director and also serves as the director of Factory 35, his salary is not high, and he only costs a few thousand yuan a year.

Now Wang Lin directly gives him an annual salary of 50,000, which is equivalent to his ten-year salary!

Even if you only work in Wang Lin’s Aixiu Group for a year, it will be worth his entire salary for the rest of his life!

Zhou Boqiang said in surprise: "Does your company have such a high salary? Wang Lin, don't give me too special treatment."

Zhou Xia smiled and said, "Uncle, my current salary is more than 10,000! You are completely qualified to get 50,000."

Wang Lin said: "We all arrange wages according to our service years and abilities. Director Zhou, you can afford so much salary."

Zhou Boqiang sighed, "Okay! Then I feel ashamed!"

Wang Lin said: "You can still hold a part-time position as director. In this way, some work will be better carried out, especially when setting up a cotton area, which may require people from all aspects."

Of course, Zhou Boqiang also understood this truth.

Wang Lin hired him as the deputy general manager of Aixu Group and the manager of Aixu Home Textile Company with a high salary, which not only attracted his talents and abilities, but also his connections and resources.

Zhou Boqiang said: "Okay, I will report to my superiors. After resigning from the job of Factory 35 and arranging the affairs here, I will report to Aixu Group. After I leave, I will have to find a suitable person to take over as the director of Factory 35."

Wang Lin is also more concerned about this matter.

Factory 35 also has shares of Yonghua Company.

However, Wang Lin was not very familiar with the personnel of Factory 35. He believed that Cai Boqiang could arrange all this, so he said, "Let this matter be left to Director Zhou to handle it."

As we talked, it was noon before we knew it.

Zhou Boqiang looked at the time and said, "Today is Dragon Boat Festival, I won't leave you for dinner, and I have to go home and reunite."

Wang Lin stood up and shook hands with Zhou Boqiang: "Director Zhou, goodbye."

After walking out of Factory 35, Zhou Xia pursed her lips and said, "You have a way. I will touch my uncle with just one word. My uncle is a very independent person. He may not listen to my father's words."

Wang Lin said: "Director Zhou is such a good leader! He is willing to come to help me with things, and I am very grateful to him. With him, our Aixiu Group will be like a tiger with wings."

Zhou Xia asked, "Are you going home for dinner? Or go to my sister's side?"

Wang Lin said: "Of course I'm going home for dinner."
