The desk, which was less than two square meters in size and did not have any grille, was quickly split in two.

Zheng Xuehong sat down with a golden knife and a work card marked with the title of "director" on his chest. It seems to be more formal than regular companies, at least in the office where they are located, no company has a work card.

As for Song Weiyang and Chen Tao, they temporarily found an empty table.

"Print out 100 copies of the letter first, and send it all by express this afternoon. Song Weiyang added the address of the office to the manuscript that he had written long ago, and also added a special note: The staff of this office will go to Hong Kong City for a meeting every Monday morning, and the office hours are from Monday afternoon to Saturday.

There was no way, the boss at the same table had to come every Monday morning, and Song Weiyang could only give up that half a day.

Chen Tao immediately picked up the documents and left, she was very busy with work today.

The person who shared the table with them was called Deng Xinhua, and his eyes kept looking at Chen Tao, and he took it back when he was gone, and asked curiously: "Director Liu, what are you doing as the China Private Enterprise Development Promotion Association?"

Zheng Xuehong said: "You have already read it out, to promote the development of private enterprises." ”

"Government agencies?" Deng Xinhua said confusedly, "It's not right, if you were a government agency, you wouldn't be so poor that you would share a table with me." ”

Zheng Xuehong picked up the porcelain teacup, slowly skimmed the foam with the lid, looked like a leader, and said with a smile: "Have you heard of China Merchants?"

"I only know that there is an industrial and commercial bureau, is your bureau specifically responsible for attracting investment? What level?" Deng Xinhua asked.

"If you don't learn, you can't do it!" Zheng Xuehong said disdainfully, "China Merchants is a central enterprise, founded by Li Hongzhang in the late Qing Dynasty, and it has been more than 100 years, and China Merchants Bank is a subordinate unit of our China Merchants Bureau." ”

Deng Xinhua was in awe and immediately said, "I have heard of China Merchants Bank. ”

Zheng Xuehong flickered: "In order to promote the development of China's private enterprises, our bureau has established a new association. The headquarters is located in Gangcheng, the North China branch is located in the capital, and the South China branch was originally located in Shencheng, but it was robbed by Sheng Hai's gang of bastards. There is no way, I can only set up a temporary office here in Shenzhen, and I, the director of the office, even have to rent the office space by myself. Do you think I'm unlucky?"

"Doesn't China Merchants give you funds?" Deng Xinhua asked.

"I didn't give much, I had to save some flowers. Zheng Xuehong said.

Deng Xinhua said: "How can you help private enterprises without money?"

Zheng Xuehong said: "We focus on consulting services, to put it bluntly, to help private enterprises understand domestic policies, learn foreign news, help private enterprises formulate management systems, and give ideas to those private enterprises in trouble." ”

"Oh, I see," Deng Xinhua said happily, "Then you can help our company come up with ideas." ”

Zheng Xuehong shook his head and said: "No, you are a leather bag company, and you make money by reselling state-owned enterprise products, which is not within the scope of our association's assistance." ”

"The bag company is also a private company. Deng Xinhua said.

"Huh. Zheng Xuehong smiled and said nothing.

……

Three days later, in central Guangdong, a county seat.

Yuan Weidong inspected the factory workshop as usual, criticized and punished a lazy worker, and then returned to the factory director's office with a depressed stomach.

Ten years ago, Yuan Weidong was just a small workshop director, and his soda factory was in debt. At a certain meeting of the workers of the whole factory, Yuan Weidong suddenly stood up and made a military order, claiming that as long as he was replaced as the director of the factory, if he did not turn losses into profits within one year, he would request that he be removed from all positions inside and outside the party.

The original director of the factory immediately applied to be transferred to other units and handed over the soda factory to Yuan Weidong to manage.

Yuan Weidong also has no unique secrets, but simply formulated some employee regulations, such as not allowed to defecate in the factory, it is strictly forbidden to laugh and play during work, it is strictly forbidden for workers to arrive late and leave early, and it is strictly forbidden to take products home. A year later, the soda factory not only exceeded the national task, but also captured the local beverage market.

Now the soda factory has become a well-known large enterprise, and changed its name to "Tahoe Beverage Co., Ltd.", and its products have increased to six categories: sorbet, ice cream, soft drink, popsicles, orange juice and champagne.

But with the invasion of foreign beverages, the increase of domestic beverages, and the competition of copycat beverages, Yuan Weidong's company quickly fell into trouble. He only knew that business was not good, but he didn't know how to turn the situation around, and he spent more than 2 million yuan on advertising before and after, but it had little effect.

"Factory director, factory director......" Lao Li, the director of the factory office, suddenly rushed in, so panicked that he forgot to knock on the door.

Yuan Weidong frowned and said, "What's the matter?"

Lao Li said excitedly: "Factory director, good news! The soda produced by our factory has won the gold medal of the first 'Asian Rim International Beverage Fair'! ”

"What Asia-Pacific fair? Our soda didn't go to the show. Yuan Weidong said in a daze.

Lao Li said: "It is an organization called the 'China Association for the Promotion of Private Enterprise Development', which helped us participate in the exhibition, so you can take a look." ”

The envelope was thick and there were more than 20 sheets of paper, and a shipment of this weight would cost several dollars just for postage.

At the top is a printed letter:

"To Tahoe Beverage Co., Ltd. (this is handwritten): In order to promote the development and growth of state-owned beverage brands, in May this year, the association brought more than 300 kinds of beverages across the country to participate in the first 'Asian Rim International Beverage Fair' held in Melbourne, Australia...... Unanimously recognized by judges in more than 30 countries around the world, your company's beverage has passed the test and won the gold award...... Please send a commissioner to Shencheng XX to collect trophies, medals and award certificates with relevant certificates and 50,000 yuan of activity funds. ——Shenzhen Office of China Association for the Promotion of Private Enterprise Development, South China Branch. ”

Yuan Weidong's mood was full of twists and turns, he was happy at first, but when he saw that he had to pay 50,000 yuan, he immediately said to Lao Li: "This is a liar." ”

"Director, you can take a look at other information. Lao Li reminded.

In addition to the printed letters, there are also materials related to the China Association for the Promotion of Private Enterprises, as well as a detailed description of the Asian Rim International Beverage Fair – all in Chinese and English. There is even the activity process and award list of this exhibition, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, the Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia and other regions are among them, while the only award-winning drinks in Chinese mainland are Jianlibao and Yuan Weidong's soda.

Lao Li directly took out the last piece of paper: "Look, factory director, this is a photo copy of our award certificate." It's all in English, how beautiful it is, how can it be fake?"

It is really beautiful and formal, and Song Weiyang even designed the logo for the so-called "Asian Pacific Rim International Beverage Fair".

Looking at the dense English on the materials, and then carefully reading the content of the Chinese version, Yuan Weidong finally began to be confused, muttering: "Did we really win the award?"

"It's still an international award, win glory for the country!" Lao Li said excitedly, "Factory director, send me to Shencheng, and promise to bring back the trophy of our factory." ”

"But no, I still have to pay 50,000 yuan. Yuan Weidong said.

Lao Li explained: "It is written in people's documents that their association is semi-official and self-financing. How expensive it is to go abroad to participate in exhibitions, we can't let people run in vain. Besides, when we get the award back, we will find TV stations and newspapers to publicize it, and our factory's soda will be in the limelight, isn't it better than spending tens of thousands of dollars on advertising?"

"Yes, it can be used for publicity!" Yuan Weidong stood up suddenly, "Quickly get me a pass, and I'll go to the Special Administrative Region in person." ”
