Chapter 135: New Year's Eve
Updated: 2012-08-28
Although Donghua City has banned the setting off fireworks and firecrackers in the city in recent years, the sound of firecrackers in residential areas near the hospital has been heard one after another since New Year's Eve.
Chen Huai slept on the hospital bed for a night, and in the morning he woke up the sound of firecrackers near his ears. Seeing a two-skirt rising from the window, he didn't know who would set firecrackers in front of the hospital building.
Chen Huai lay in his head and looked at the white lead-white sky outside the window, which was a little gray. The desolate branches made the scenery outside the window look deserted and monotonous.
Chen Huai didn't mind waking up the firecrackers, and only in this way could he feel the breath of the New Year.
However, someone soon became dissatisfied with the sound of firecrackers and cursed at the ripple downstairs; and the people who set off firecrackers downstairs were not fuel-efficient lamps, and they started to curse each other...
The first day of the New Year begins with anxious and confrontational emotions in the country.
Chen Huai washed up and changed his hospital gown. He saw his down jacket. He pulled a big hole when he fell down the stairs yesterday. He thought that he would wear this outfit to wish Tan Qiping New Year, and even the gate of the community might not be able to enter.
"Bang bang bang."
Chen Huai walked over and opened the door. He saw that it was Chu Yiliang. Chu Qiang was standing outside the door with a bag of things in his hand and smiled and said, "What time is it? I don't have breakfast here?"
"Come here to greet you for your New Year," Chu Yiliang said. "In addition, if there is any inconvenience between Secretary Chen in the hospital, you can also let Chu Qiang run away for you..."
"Xiao Chu, go and ask the nurse, can you go and ask if you can go through the discharge procedures now? If you want to do it, I will be discharged from the hospital first. Can I ask someone to come here to do it in the afternoon or the next day?" Chen Huai ordered Chu Qiang to say.
"How many days does Secretary Chen observe when he is not in the hospital? Yesterday scared everyone." Chu Yiliang said.
"You said you came here to pay New Year's greetings early in the morning, and I can't knock you away. Why don't I be discharged from the hospital quickly? Can I still recover from the illness?" Chen Huai smiled and waved his hand to ask Chu Qiang to come over and ask about the discharge.
Chen Huai picked up the electric kettle and put it in. He washed the two tea cups and put them on the side and prepared them. He asked Chu Yiliang to sit down and said:
"The town and Mr. Chu jointly established Ziluojiasha Co., Ltd., and I immediately started the work after the New Year. I entrusted Yexin Bank to help contact an overseas trust company for foreign investment, and the other party agreed to invest 80,000 to 100,000 US dollars. All three parties will hold shares based on the actual investment amount, and the asset audit will also entrusted Yexin Bank or the city's accounting firm to be responsible for it, and will not interfere in the specific operation of the company. Lao Chu, what do you think?"
"Secretary Chen, you have fallen ill and been hospitalized. You still don't forget to care about my affairs. How can I be grateful?" Chu Yiliang agreed hurriedly.
Chu Yiliang went into business for twelve years and saved up a fortune of 50,000 yuan. He was a wealthy family in Meixi Town, but he was not satisfied with this and had a higher and far-reaching pursuit of his career.
However, due to the limitation of the contracting rights, Chu Yiliang was afraid to invest a lot of money to replace equipment and expand production. He once wanted to buy the entire blanket factory, or start a new stove or buy a piece of land to build a new factory. However, there are pros and cons.
Before 1994, the individual economy in Donghua area was relatively stable, but the situation of private enterprises was still awkward, and identity identification was problematic, and they usually affiliated with township enterprises or state-owned enterprises to conduct business.
Even though the State Council promulgated the Company Law on New Year's Day in 1994, clearing some obstacles for the restructuring of state-owned and collective enterprises and the development of private enterprises, there is no particularly strong voice in encouraging the development of the private economy from the national policy level, and the status of the private economy in the national economic system will take several years to be officially established.
For Chu Yiliang, even if he had the ambition to do a big business, he was worried that the economic policy might fluctuate in the future. Chen Huai proposed that the town and him jointly establish a new company and introduce foreign shareholders, which was undoubtedly very consistent with Chu Yiliang's appetite at this time.
First, the equity is clear and there will be no disputes. Another new company is marked by a town-owned enterprise and foreign capital, which has great convenience in the current domestic market and has a guarantee of market identity identification. At the same time, it can also enjoy preferential conditions that private enterprises cannot enjoy in taxation, loans, market access and other aspects.
When a joint venture is established, the new company cannot provide land and the factory can occupy funds. A large amount of funds can be used specifically for equipment renewal and expansion of production.
In China, if private enterprises want to become popular, they have to "collude between officials and businessmen" to a certain extent and hide from power. However, the local officials Chu Yiliang met before were both greedy and incompetent and short-sighted.
Through continuous contact during this period, Chu Yiliang can confirm that Chen Huai is a visionary and highly economical official. Chu Yiliang has never encountered such an official in the past, and thought that even if there are one in China, it should be rare.
Even if Chen Huai personally wants to get a share of the pie in the new company, Tan Yiliang is willing to do so.
Only by cooperating with officials like Chen Huai who are tall, have strong abilities and have deep backgrounds can we make the cake bigger, and then we can always get a large enough share, unlike some short-sighted despicable officials who want to snatch all the cakes in your bowl at once.
Chen Huai just smiled and said, "The establishment of a new company is also of great benefit to the town. Why am I not concerned about it? I am also very clear about the old equipment of the blanket factory. If I don't invest funds to upgrade and replace, normal production needs will be difficult to meet. After the joint venture, Ziluo Home Textiles will be the second large enterprise in Meixi Town with a net asset of over 10 million, which can help the town achieve a significant increase in taxes and employment. Moreover, the town holds 40% of the equity in the new company. I believe that under your management of Mr. Chu, the dividends brought to the town by the new company should be much higher than the contract fee..."
"Listen to Secretary Chen's words, the pressure on my shoulders is really heavy. No matter who I let down, I can't let down your trust in Secretary Chen..." Chu Yiliang said.
"It doesn't matter whether I live up to you or not," Chen Huai smiled faintly and said, "The key is that we cannot let go of the land we live in. Lao Chu, do you know what two things I admire most?"
"..." Chu Yiliang listened with stern eyes.
"Lao Chu, you have principles in your work and have the determination to do a big career."
"I feel ashamed of myself than Secretary Chen..." Chu Yiliang said modestly, but at the same time he also felt the pleasure of mutual appreciation for Chen Huai's recognition.
Chen Huai continued: "This time I advocate that the new company introduces foreign shareholders. In addition to some practical benefits, I also hope that the new company can be more professional. Whether it is steel or embroidered home textiles, specialization is the direction we must work together..."
"..." Chu Yiliang nodded. Donghua City is located on the coast. Although the overall economic development lags behind, it is mainly due to the delay of state-owned and collective enterprises. The individual economy is still quite active. After 1990, there was a saying that "10,000 yuan is not considered rich, but only 100,000 yuan will start."
Chu Yiliang can be said to be the first small group of people to go into business around Meixi Town. His more than ten years of business career has allowed him to come into contact with too many people of all kinds. Donghua has dated him, and there are dozens of individual bosses with a net worth of millions or even millions. Most of them are said that Lao Chu is so powerful, but few can give him such a skillful guidance like Chen Huai.
Speaking of economic theory, Chu Yiliang humbly asked some famous economic and management scholars in the province and city for the development of the enterprise. However, theory is theory, Meixi Iron and Steel Plant was miraculously revitalized in less than two or three months. How could Shen Huai not impress Chu Yiliang?
***************
After Chu Qiang completed the discharge procedures, Chen Huai took Chu Yiliang's car back to Meixi Town. After changing his clothes, he stuffed some gifts from others to the trunk of Passat's car, and then rushed to the villa area of the city standing committee member.
Tan Qiping arranged to visit the residential area of the city steel mill in the morning to pay New Year's greetings to the city steel mills and was not at home. Although Su Kaiwen would not officially join the company after the Chinese New Year, he had already participated in some official activities with Tan Qiping, and today he also visited the city steel mills together.
Tan Qiping's wife and his daughter Tan Jingjing were quite enthusiastic about Chen Huai's visit. Chen Huai put down the gift and talked to Tan Qiping who was in the car through Xiong Wenbin to celebrate the New Year.
Tan Qiping also said something on the phone that cared about Chen Huai's health and asked him to continue to be hospitalized for rest, but that was the end. Chen Huai refused Tan Qiping's wife's invitation to keep him for lunch and walked out.
Tan Qiping wanted to restore the distance between the municipal party secretary and his subordinates with him, so Chen Huai would not be so ignorant. He thought to himself: Maybe Tan Qiping's wife did not recognize the inherent indifference and ruthlessness of the officialdom, and suddenly became so cold for each other's relationship, and she felt that she could not stand it for him...
After leaving Tan Qiping's house, turn a building to the northeast corner, and is Wu Haifeng's house.
Through the walls and dense hedges, Chen Huai didn't know whether Wu Haifeng's house was lively this year. He hesitated for a while, opened the trunk of the car, carried two pieces of cigarettes and alcohol, and walked over.
Unlike Gao Tianhe, Wu Haifeng no longer poses too much threat to Tan Qiping.
Another thing is that Chen Huai was transferred to Meixi Town and received the most direct help from Wu Haifeng. Even if he came to pay New Year's greetings to Tan Qiping, Chen Huai thought that he might not have many ideas, right?
Wu Haifeng is the director of the National People's Congress. On the first day of the New Year, he will also visit districts, counties or enterprises to express condolences to cadres and people who insist on working on the front line. It is impossible for him to stay at home.
Chen Huai put down the gift and said goodbye, just to let Wu Haifeng know that he had this intention. He was not qualified to start a self-employed person at this time, but it did not mean that he could not make any preparations.
As soon as I left the gate of Wu Haifeng's house, I saw Zhou Yu walking over with a little girl in magenta and looking like a porcelain doll.
Zhou Yu simply wore a pair of jeans, red-brown boots and royal blue ski shirt. Her crooked bun was a little loose, which made her face look bright and radiant.
"Chen Huai, your body is broken like that. If you don't take a good rest in the hospital, why do you do it when you come out and run away?" Zhou Yu was startled when he saw Chen Huai coming out of her uncle's house, but he couldn't help but blame him with concern.
"I'm not seriously ill. I'm just a little stressful in my work before the New Year. I woke up in the hospital in the morning and was bored. So I rushed over to wish my leaders a happy New Year and strive for progress," Chen Huai smiled, "By the way, I haven't thanked you yet, District Mayor Zhou..."
Zhou Yu turned his head slightly and looked at Chen Huai. Even though she had long subverted her impression of Chen Huai, she still felt that Chen Huai was a proud and strong person.
Chen Huai fell tired yesterday and fell ill at work. To be honest, Zhou Yu suddenly felt a tingling feeling when she saw Chen Huai coming out of her uncle's house: Is it true that Chen Huai's marginalization of Tan Qiping?
