Two hours later, Dadong Express announced the news of Zhang Xueyan's promotion, which made Zhang Xueyan excited.

Sure enough, just like my wife predicted last time, I still have room for promotion, and it was achieved so quickly. Although it is only a small step forward, and the main focus of work is still on the side of the key account department, Zhang Xueyan knows very well that the vice president of the branch, which is a proper branch leader, can participate in the meeting of middle-level cadres of the head office. It's a small but crucial step.

Zhang Xueyan's personal progress is not worth mentioning in the entire Dadong Group. It is no exaggeration to say that similar job promotions happen a lot every day, except for the parties and the people around them, they will have some feelings, and others will not notice it at all.

At present, the entire Dadong Group is shocked by another blockbuster news: Chen Bishu has been promoted to deputy director of the President's Office!

Although many people can see Mu Dong's importance to Chen Bishu, and a few people know that this promotion is a matter of time, but for the entire group, this news is really shocking!

Many people know that before this, Chen Bishu was only the publicity officer of the president's office, which is a position that sounds very beautiful but is actually very embarrassing, basically does not involve management, and most of the cases are uploaded and issued, as for the level in Dadong Group, it is only the department assistant level, which is ranked below the deputy manager of the department, which is barely a management post.

However, the deputy director of the president's office is at the level of deputy director of the department, and he is the deputy director of the department of the group company, which is equivalent to rising several levels at once, and it is definitely soaring.

There are even some veteran employees who know that further forward, Chen Bishu is only the deputy editor-in-chief and photojournalist of the internal magazine "Dadong Times", and a little further on, he is only a photojournalist of the newspaper.

In other words, in just one or two years, this Chen Bishu has changed from a newspaper photojournalist to a deputy director-level executive of Dadong Group, and his life experience is quite amazing.

Chen Bishu went crazy with joy in his heart, if it was before, it is estimated that he would be able to float when he walks. At this moment, he tried his best to control his emotions, found Mu Dong to express his gratitude, showed his determination, and offered to go to the boss's house to eat by the way.

Mu Dong laughed, he liked Lao Chen's undisguised cheesiness and cunning, and readily agreed.

……

As a result, there were three groups of people who went to Mu Dong's house as guests at night.

The first group is Chen Bishu's family of three, they went the earliest, with large bags of gifts, tobacco, wine, sugar, tea, children's toys, a dazzling array of them, it should be the old Chen's daughter-in-law to purchase or even buy in advance;

The second group is the third uncle Zhang Fengnan's family, who also brought some gifts, fruits and non-staple foods, etc., which are also very decent;

The third wave is Cheng Qiang and Cai Jiaojiao with their children, and if the children in their arms are not considered gifts, they can be regarded as empty-handed.

Entering the living room, Cai Jiaojiao saw the gifts brought by the first two groups of people at a glance, and turned around and glared at Cheng Qiang fiercely.

Cheng Qiang was helpless, and said in his heart, you fools, what are you bringing, I'm afraid you don't know that many gifts were donated to the welfare institute by Brother Dong, right?

But since his daughter-in-law was dissatisfied, Cheng Qiang had no choice but to turn around and go to the courtyard and take down a box of red wine from the car, which made Cai Jiaojiao's face look a lot better.

The dinner was not lively at all, the three groups of people were not familiar with each other, the scene was too calm, everyone could only talk about some topics such as weather, children, food, etc., and soon ended the awkward chat.

Chen Bishu was the first to leave, and then the third uncle's family also said goodbye, Mu Dong beckoned Cai Jiaojiao and Cheng Qiang to the study, and asked with a smile: "Two heavyweight guests, what are your instructions?"

Cheng Qiang looked up at the ceiling, with a posture that had nothing to do with himself. Cai Jiaojiao was helpless, so she had to bite the bullet and say: "Brother Mu, that's the case, my dad wants to invest in garlic this year, ask me to ask you about the market." ”

Mu Dong was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't cry or laugh, this thing is troublesome, it seems that you really think I have any talent in investing in garlic?

Mu Dong was very satisfied with his strong attitude, and it was obvious that this kid didn't want to come, but was forced to come by his wife.

After pondering for a moment, Mu Dong said, "Jiaojiao, I need to explain two situations to you. First, when we first hyped garlic, I relied on information from the capital, and then the person who provided the information went abroad, and this line was broken, so I didn't invest in garlic the year before last. Second, we invested in garlic again last year, it was Zhang Jishun Zhang Luo, I studied some information about the price curve, planting area and international trade situation with him, and felt that it was very risky, but it was worth trying, so I decided to invest. ”

"You also know the real situation last year, the price did drop a lot at the beginning, and then it slowly rose, to be honest, I was also frightened at the time, and I didn't rest well every day. Therefore, I finally decided to give up this speculative business and instead cooperate with Zhang Jishun and invest in a more stable freeze-dried vegetable project. ”

"Jiaojiao, if Uncle Cai plans to invest in garlic this year, I have neither a reliable source of information nor a rigorous industry analysis, so I don't have any predictive advice. If I had to say a few words, I would suggest that Uncle Cai collect a full range of information in detail, and then finally decide whether to invest or not when he has a full understanding of the general trend of the entire industry. ”

Mu Dong's words were half-true, and he completely explained the reasons for the last two investment returns, and then happily pushed Cai Jiaojiao's request away.

Cai Jiaojiao didn't expect Mu Dong to refuse so thoroughly, her face was hot, and she said embarrassedly: "Brother Mu, my father's business has not been good in the past two years, and he is a little anxious." ”

Mu Dong said with a smile: "The general environment is like this, and many traditional industries are indeed becoming more and more difficult to do. ”

The tone was light, and Cheng Qiang sighed in his heart.

……

After returning home, after settling the children to rest, Cheng Qiang called his wife to the living room to sit down, and said seriously: "Jiaojiao, human favor is like savings, if you can't increase it, you will only use it less and less, this time we are really too hasty." ”

Cai Jiaojiao sighed: "Qiangzi, I also regret it." As you said back then, we can't work with Brother Mu anymore. I didn't believe it at the time, but now that I see it, that's exactly the case. ”

"Brother Dong doesn't owe us anything, but we owe him, Jiaojiao, Brother Dong still treats us as friends, if we don't cherish it, friends can't do it. ”

"I see. Cai Jiaojiao said in a low voice: "Then what about our father's business?"

"None of us are business materials, so it's better not to get involved. As for the family's money, you make your own ideas, and if our father needs it, you give it to him. Cheng Qiang said.

Cai Jiaojiao hurriedly said: "Qiangzi, I'll get 5 million for my dad at most, okay?"

Cheng Qiang nodded: "No problem, you have the final say on money." ”

When I said this, I was still very distressed in my heart. The last time I invested in garlic, I lost a net worth of nearly 20 million, but I spent a small 10 million to buy a villa, donated 1 million to the charity foundation, and the decoration budget of the villa was 3 million, so that there was still about 6 million at home, and the daughter-in-law was going to take out most of it to help her father-in-law.

But can you say no? Definitely not!

The house where the family lives now was given by his father-in-law, and the Mercedes-Benz off-road he drove was bought by his father-in-law.

Amitabha, father-in-law, after you get the 5 million, you old man must make good use of it and strive to earn a lot of money back!

……

As soon as he got to work the next day, Mayor Cai Guoliang called Mu Dong and invited him to sit down.

Boss Mu muttered in his heart, Cai Jiaojiao is not so unreliable, right? I actually invited Mayor Cai to come forward? But whoever comes forward is in vain, I really have no impression of this year's garlic market.

However, since Mayor Cai has issued a call, he must still go.

……

Half an hour later, Mu Dong and Cai Guoliang sat together. Mayor Cai said with a smile: "Mu Dong, I have something to tell you, we plan to repay the 1 billion we borrowed from you last year." ”

Mu Dong was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that Cai Guoliang had just served as the acting mayor, but he had suffered a previous surprise consumption financially, and the deficit was very large. At that time, it was the end of the year, and the situation was grim, and finally Quancheng State Investment Company borrowed 1 billion yuan from Dadong Real Estate Company, and the collateral was a piece of land in the eastern suburbs.

"Mayor Cai, it seems that you have a lot of money recently? I remember that the term of this loan is 18 months, and it doesn't seem to be due yet, right?"

"You're looking forward to us paying the bills, right?" Cai Guoliang smiled.

"Really. Boss Mu was also frank: "I knew that I would buy this land directly." ”

Of course, Boss Mu knows that this land can't be bought, this is the Xicheng high-speed rail plot selected by the State Investment Corporation like a baby, although the land price there has also risen a little more than a year, but the future appreciation space is actually very weak.

"Where did I have time to engage in bidding, auction and listing at that time, Mu Dong, anyway, your money helped me a lot, I ...... at the beginning"

"Hey, Uncle Cai, look at what you said, Quancheng's financial income of two or three hundred billion a year is not enough at all. ”

"Mu Dong, I won't say kind words. Tomorrow, let your people go to the SDIC company to go through the formalities, and return the principal with interest. Cai Guoliang said with a smile.

Boss Mu nodded: "That's okay, Uncle Cai, let the people from Dadong Real Estate go through the formalities tomorrow." ”

……

On the way back, Boss Mu pondered this matter repeatedly and felt that it was very abnormal.

It stands to reason that as long as the money can be repaid in full when it is due, it is the best ending, and there is no possibility and necessity of early repayment. Even if a sub-provincial city has a general fiscal revenue of more than 20 billion yuan every year, it is certainly not so easy to take out 1 billion yuan at once. You know, the plate of fiscal spending is bigger.

That's kind of interesting.

Cai Guoliang did something that was not necessary, and he seemed to be in a good mental state, without a little depression and helplessness, indicating that he was very happy to do it.

Mu Dong suddenly thought of a possibility. Does he want to go any further?
