The sky had not cleared for two days, and it was pouring rain.

Zhang Cheng, who was still coughing after the fever subsided, took a taxi to Jiangcheng Xifeng Pure Water Plant. When the doorman learned that he was a reporter who had come here to cover the news, he immediately reported it, and then was invited in by the cadres in charge of reception in the factory.

"Can I interview your factory director?" asked Zhang Cheng.

The receptionist said: "I'm afraid it won't work today, the factory director went to the company for a meeting, and he may not return to the factory until tomorrow." ”

"Which company?" Zhang Cheng wondered.

The receptionist said: "Xifeng's Jiangcheng sales branch, the headquarters sent someone today. ”

Zhang Cheng asked: "Did the Xifeng headquarters send people to arrange the disaster relief work?"

"Yes," said the receptionist, "we at Xifeng have donated disaster relief and volunteer activities in the disaster-stricken areas across the country. At present, the most urgent disaster situation is Jiangcheng, and the headquarters directly sent a vice president to preside over the situation. ”

Zhang Cheng was surprised: "Do you mean to say that in all the disaster-stricken cities in the country, Xifeng has donated pure water?"

The receptionist said, "Yes, the headquarters has issued a document." In addition to donating purified water, we also donated instant noodles and biscuits to the disaster area, all of which are produced by Xifeng itself. ”

"How much does that cost?" asked Zhang Cheng.

The receptionist shook his head and said, "I don't know." I only know that the Xifeng Pure Water Plant in Jiangcheng will work for nothing for at least two or three months, and the profits will be donated. ”

Zhang Cheng asked again: "Where is the address of your Xifeng Jiangcheng sales branch? I want to go for an interview." ”

The reception staff felt that this was a good thing, so they wrote the address to the reporter, and called the factory director in advance to facilitate the contact of the sales branch.

Zhang Cheng stood in the guard room of the pure water plant and waited for more than ten minutes, but due to the heavy rain, not a single taxi arrived. The doorman reacted quickly and hurriedly notified the factory, and the water plant sent a car to send Zhang Cheng directly over.

The scale of Xifeng's sales branches in various places is expanding rapidly, and Jiangcheng directly occupies two floors. It is responsible for the sales of canned food, iced tea, cola, purified water, instant noodles, biscuits and many other products, and it has to contact local branches, coordinate warehousing and logistics departments, and even local publicity and promotional activities.

Zhang Cheng got out of the car with an umbrella, but the umbrella couldn't hold it at all, and he was drenched in rain in an instant.

Quickly rushed into the office building to take the elevator up, and soon came to the floor where Xifeng Company was located, and happened to meet Zheng Xuehong, who was about to leave.

The front desk introduced: "Reporter Zhang, this is Mr. Zheng Xuehong, the vice president of our Xifeng. Mr. Zheng, this is Mr. Zhang Cheng, a reporter from the Yangtze River Daily. ”

"Hello Mr. Zheng!" Zhang Cheng hurriedly shook hands.

Zheng Xuehong shook his hand with a puffed stomach and said: "Hello, I read "Yangtze River Daily" every day, it is a very good newspaper. ”

It's pure, Zheng Fatzi is talking nonsense again with his eyes open.

Although the Yangtze River Daily was the newspaper with the largest circulation in the central region at this time, its influence could not reach Xikang Province at all, and Rongping City could not even buy it if it wanted to.

Zhang Cheng didn't come to listen to polite words, and asked directly: "Does Zheng always make a special trip to Jiangcheng to arrange the donation and disaster relief work?"

Zheng Xuehong said: "Everyone is responsible for flood fighting and disaster relief, and Xifeng Company must also make a contribution." ”

Zhang Cheng asked, "How much material is Xifeng going to donate?"

"It depends on the situation," Zheng Xuehong said, "and of course we hope to donate as little as possible, which means that the flood will subside quickly." However, if the flood continues to expand, we will do everything possible to ensure that the soldiers and people in the disaster area can eat safe food and drink safe pure water. ”

Zhang Cheng said: "In other words, Xifeng did not determine the scale of donation, but the more serious the disaster, the more it won. ”

"It's understandable. Zheng Xuehong said.

Zhang Cheng asked, "Can you tell us about Xifeng's flood relief plan?"

Zheng Xuehong said: "First of all, we must contact the government and rescue forces in the affected areas to understand the specific disaster situation through them. Wherever we needed instant noodles, biscuits, and purified water, we transported them from a nearby warehouse and handed them over to the relevant staff in their entirety. In addition, we have worked with the government of the disaster-stricken area to set up free water supply points in places where drinking water is particularly difficult and provide them to nearby victims free of charge. ”

Zhang Cheng asked, "It's hard to do the job, isn't it?"

Zheng Xuehong said: "It's really difficult. Many neighborhoods and roads were flooded, and delivery cars could not drive through at all, so our volunteers had to carry boxes on their shoulders. ”

Zhang Cheng asked: "Are there any volunteers from Xifeng Company who have gone to the front line of flood fighting?"

"We discourage our employees from being on the front lines of flood fighting. Zheng Xuehong said.

"Why?" asked Zhang Cheng.

Zheng Xuehong said: "First, it is for the sake of the life safety of employees. Second, they do not want to cause trouble to the government and the army. Most of the employees who signed up to volunteer had never learned disaster relief knowledge, and there was a lack of unified scheduling and management. If they rush to the front line of flood fighting, they are likely to encounter danger if they do not operate properly, and at this time, they will have to send flood fighters to save them, which is not a good thing for both public and private affairs. So, we just handed over the food and water transport to the people involved, and set up free water points in relatively safe places. ”

Zhang Cheng asked, "Are there any other measures?"

Zheng Xuehong said: "The main purpose of my visit to Jiangcheng this time is to reach cooperation with the main unit of flood fighting. Xifeng also has a storage center in Jiangcheng, where disaster relief materials can be stored temporarily, and we can provide services free of charge. Last year, our warehousing centers in various places realized the national network, and we also asked Jinshan Company to write a set of computer management programs. ”

"National networking, computer management?" Zhang Cheng felt so lofty.

Zheng Xuehong said proudly: "Yes." Xifeng's warehousing and transportation department has been separated and established Xifeng Logistics Company. Not only are we using our own products, but other companies are also willing to cooperate with us. It is because of the national network and electronic management of Xifeng Logistics, and the dispatch of goods is very accurate and fast. ”

Xifeng Logistics Company was separated after the Spring Festival this year.

The warehousing and logistics system was just a by-product of the original 101 channel plan, which was built with a lot of money, and at the same time, it also made Xifeng Company heavily in debt - borrowing a lot of money from the bank.

Originally, it was just to meet the logistics scheduling of Xifeng Company, but who knew that in the process of development, there was an unexpected gain. Especially after the realization of national networking and electronic office last year, many companies have taken the initiative to cooperate, and the speed of making money has almost caught up with selling Coke, which has become another profitable project of the company.

As for donating instant noodles and biscuits, this was Yang Xin's initiative.

Although Xifeng instant noodles have successfully entered the market, their market share is not high, the competition is too fierce, and domestic consumption has turned cold as a whole. Xifeng's biscuits are even more nonsense, they can't be sold at all, and only a little bit of fame is slowly accumulated. This led to a large backlog of Xifeng's instant noodles, and Yang Xin waved his hand and simply donated it for disaster relief.

After chatting for about ten minutes, Zheng Xuehong subconsciously looked at his watch.

Zhang Cheng asked, "Mr. Zheng still has important business?"

Zheng Xuehong said: "I'm going to the storage center. When the disaster relief department heard that we were going to donate a large amount of food and water, they had sent a special person to contact us, and the batch of supplies they ordered could not be delivered temporarily due to transportation problems, which just solved the urgent need. ”

"I'll go with you. Zhang Cheng said.

"Let's go, talk as we go. Zheng Xuehong said.

Braving the heavy rain, I took a car to the storage center, and after waiting for a while, an official hurried over, shook hands with Zheng Xuehong and said: "Mr. Zheng, thank you for Xifeng's selfless donation, I have been overwhelmed." Are all the materials you donated in the warehouse?"

Zheng Xuehong said: "Pure water can be delivered at any time, but there is only one batch of instant noodles and biscuits for the time being, and we are also in emergency dispatch." ”

"Let's go check the goods first. "Disaster relief officials are not polite.

After a simple verification, the porters braved the rain to carry the goods onto the trucks, and a full ten trucks transported the supplies to the front line of flood fighting.

Zheng Xuehong and Zhang Cheng also rushed along, if nothing else, they just wanted to see the situation with their own eyes.

Halfway through, the rainstorm finally stopped, and the sun even appeared in the sky.

Zheng Xuehong didn't know where he had gone, only to see a mess around him. As soon as the instant noodles and biscuits arrived, they were carried down by the disaster relief fighters and the masses in whole boxes, and they did not register or anything, anyway, they moved to where they were needed, and those who were hungry simply tore open the packaging and ate them.

Everyone was busy in the dark, whether it was a soldier or a crowd, it was normal to fight for more than ten hours in a row, and it was necessary to go in case of danger, and more than one or two fainted due to fatigue and disease.

It was already evening when Zheng Xuehong rushed back to the city, he took a hot bath, ate a bowl of hot dry noodles, and was about to lie down in bed to rest for a while.

Suddenly, the assistant came knocking on the door and shouted: "Mr. Zheng, the embankment has burst!"

Zheng Xuehong turned over and ran: "Where is the decision?"

"Yanzhou Bay," said the assistant, "I heard that the troops were organizing the transfer of the masses at that time, and suddenly the embankment burst, and many officers and soldiers and the masses were flooded. ”

Zheng Xuehong rubbed his forehead: "Go to sleep, you can't help if you go, you can only make trouble for others." Call Mr. Ji of the Jiangcheng branch and ask him to organize volunteers to be on standby, and then contact the disaster relief department to see if there is anything he can help tomorrow. ”

- PS: It was said above that Song Weihong's son was twenty-six or seventeen years old, but Lao Wang miscalculated and changed it to thirty years old.
