The fifteenth day of the first lunar month in the early nineties was the most lively festival, with lanterns, fireworks, river cruises, and dry horses.

Whenever this time, each enterprise unit will organize employees to engage in some collective activities, such as dragon lantern dance, lion playing, or occupy an area on the street to display the lanterns made by their own companies, so as to have fun with the people and celebrate with the whole world.

The flavor of the New Year in this era is so colorful, unlike the future, in addition to the fragmentary lanterns, whether it is the New Year or the Lantern Festival, it has lost its original taste, especially the prohibition of fireworks, firecrackers, but also the New Year, the Lantern Festival has become boring and lonely.

Different from previous years, the most attractive thing in this year's lantern exhibition is no longer the big lanterns of state-owned enterprises and government institutions, but a new lantern named "Nandu Coal Transportation Co., Ltd."

The lanterns of this company are very chic, or very interesting, the theme is selected from the classical masterpiece "Journey to the West", the four monks who learned from the west have turned into transport workers who drive large trucks to pull coal, whether it is a large coal truck, or four masters and apprentices sitting in the truck, all of them are lifelike with paper paste.

And under this lantern, the company's slogan is written: Go to the west to get the truth, coal transportation I first!

Under the huge lanterns, many citizens took point-and-shoot cameras and took pictures with the lanterns, and some children mischievously tried to climb onto the papier-mâché truck, but were fortunately stopped by the people who took care of the lanterns.

And the person in charge of taking care of the lanterns is Chen Tianlang's newly hired company's operations manager, who is He Qiang.

If you know He Qiang, you will definitely be shocked by the big teeth, why does this guy who used to sell briquettes look like a dog.

In fact, it's not just He Qiang, as long as it's an old man who follows Chen Tianlang to fight the world, it's all very good now, for example, He Qiang's son He Dayong, now works as a manager in Hongxing Entertainment Company, in charge of two large entertainment cities, as well as seven game halls, I recently heard that the company is going to invest in video halls, and is preparing to run a chain operation in Nandu, He Dayong is stepping on the most prosperous area in the city, if things are done, then he He Dayong will have most of the ten video halls in hand.

There is no way, those who opened movie theaters these years can't open video halls, the films in the video hall are good-looking, and you can watch them for five cents a day, but the movie theaters are always some old-fashioned films, or some domestic films that are not in the stream, which are as exciting as Hong Kong movies and foreign movies.

In addition to He Dayong, Qi Dabing is now transferred by Chen Tianlang to the Pearl Garment Factory Group as a security supervisor, with a monthly salary of 350 yuan, dividends at the end of the year, double benefits for the New Year's holidays, such a high salary at such a young age, I envy the dead, many little sisters in the factory look at him differently, and many girls who are in love with him at the beginning regard him as a good love object.

Guo Fatzi and Wang Shishi were arranged by Chen Tianlang to Mingzhu Clothing Company, mainly focusing on logistics issues, responsible for logistics operations from Zhengzhou to Nandu, that is to say, Guo Fatzi and Wang Shishi have to run around Zhengzhou and Nandu from time to time, with a salary of 230 yuan, but there is a field subsidy, and there are almost three or four hundred yuan, which is a high salary among high wages.

The rest of the manniu, buns and others were also arranged in suitable positions by Chen Tianlang, and their salaries were much higher than 150 yuan, and I am afraid that only the salaries of the leaders of state-owned enterprises in the entire southern metropolis can be compared.

Now whether it is a clothing company or a garment factory, it is on the track, and there is no need for Chen Tianlang to keep watch day and night. For example, in the clothing company, Chen Tianlang is the shopkeeper, Jiang Xiaoli and Zhang Yan are on the top of the sales, the warehouse management is supported by the mother Liu Yuping, and the design is carried by the old sister Chen Hong, and he Chen Tianlang is resting on the side.

Garment factories are even better, almost assembly operations, either high imitation of other clothing brands, or design their own clothing styles, as long as the workers have a pattern, they can immediately make it for you.

However, Chen Tianlang is not without foresight, he has already thought about it, his sister is a fashion design talent, but he has not undergone formal education, and he has not learned the concept of clothing design, Chen Tianlang thought, wait until the factory and company here are stable, and then recruit more fashion designers, and then throw the old sister Chen Hong to Hong Kong, let her go there for further study, which is equivalent to gold plating.

As for whether the relationship between the elder sister Chen Hong and the police officer Zhou Xiaojun of the police station here can be successful, it is up to fate. Maybe when the gilding comes back, the old sister Chen Hong has become another person, so that the surname Zhou doesn't dare to climb high.

Then again, Chen Tianlang's investment in Hong Kong's Avril clothing company has been in place, plus Ji Chunhua's 300,000, a total of 500,000 yuan has been invested, according to Hong Kong businessman Charlie Chen, this investment of 500,000 yuan is enough to own 30% of the company's equity.

Chen Tianlang checked it, this Charlie Chen is quite honest, and Avril Company has been developing well recently, especially after getting Chen Tianlang's clothing design draft, the clothes produced have frequently won awards, and have been favored by many people, especially girls.

For example, Chen Tianlang's cropped pants, cropped pants, and pencil pants became popular in Hong Kong, for which Avril Company made a lot of money. Of course, as the designer of this style at the time of publicity, Chen Tianlang's name gradually spread in the Hong Kong clothing industry.

Many Hong Kong people know that there is a master fashion designer in the mainland, who designed pencil pants, cropped pants, as well as crotch pants, flatform shoes, etc., leading a new trend.

It's just a pity that this master is in the mainland, and his identity and appearance are too mysterious, so it has aroused the conjecture of many Hong Kong people, and it has also made the Hong Kong clothing industry full of expectations for this "Master Chen".

……

While the men and women of Hong Kong's upper class were talking about the mysterious "Master Chen", Master Chen Tianlang held the first shareholders' meeting in the newly established "Nandu Coal Transportation Co., Ltd."

In addition to Chen Tianlang, Niu Hongqi, Ding Qi and Bai Gang were the three people who held the meeting, and the other two "minority shareholders" Kong Jianbang and Xia Changjiang did not attend.

The shares of Kong Xia's two bigwigs were given to them by Chen Tianlang as a New Year's gift, and they did not refuse and accepted them happily. Maybe in their opinion, the reason why Chen Tianlang can be mixed up like today is that they have some credit, so they are disrespectful to this small share.

The content of the meeting was very simple, and Chen Tianlang did not make a long speech, but said that since the company was established, it had to make money, and as a shareholder, it was impossible to ignore nothing and participate in nothing. For example, in terms of personnel recruitment, the company is short of manpower now, if the three bigwigs have any suitable candidates, try to recommend them, and this side will give priority.

Chen Tianlang's words immediately made the three bigwigs have a small calculation in their hearts, the company is so big, and he has invested so much money, what if no one helps to watch the point, what if he is cheated by Chen Xiaozi? Well, it's better to put a cronie in. So the three bigwigs were very active and enthusiastic and began to recommend candidates.

Seeing that the three bigwigs finally took the bait, Chen Tianlang couldn't help but laugh secretly, I not only want your money, but also your talents!

In Chen Tianlang's opinion, there will be some outstanding talents around old Jianghu like Niu Hongqi, Ding Qi, and Bai Gang to help them stand on the pile, such as Niu Hongqi's former henchman Mad Dog, but unfortunately he was disabled by Chen Tianlang, in addition to him, there must be other people who can borrow it.

Why?

The coal industry is different from other industries, coal is also called black gold, with strong profits, and anyone who deals with coal is basically some murderers and ruthless people.

If Chen Tianlang wants to defeat the other party and create his own coal empire, he must recruit some arrogant soldiers, and these people cannot be recruited through ordinary means, only people like Niu Hongqi, Ding Qi and Bai Gang will gather such talents.

Lao Niu and the three of them have been calculating all their lives, where would they have thought that they would be calculated by Chen Tianlang again, and unreservedly recommended all the good players around them.

The person recommended by Niu Hongqi is called "Niu Huanxi", and I don't know what his parents think, so he gave him such a name as a bunker, which made Chen Tianlang can't help but think of Niu Huanxi and explosive candy in the Hong Kong film "Vulgar Comedy" he watched in his previous life.

According to Niu Hongqi, Niu Hongqi's specialty is that he is very happy, often smiling, and is the most suitable for receiving people and things. Chen Tianlang knew after listening to it, this is a guy who hides a knife in his smile.

The person recommended by Ding Qi is called "Ding Peng", nicknamed "Big-headed Bird". According to what Ding Qi said, Ding Peng's specialty is that he is very fast in calculating accounts, and he can often calculate the accounts recovered by the game hall at a glance, which is faster than a calculator. Chen Tianlang knew after listening to it, this is a calculating person.

In the end, the person recommended by Bai Gang was called "Bai Siwen", and his nickname was "Xiucai". According to what Bai Gang said, this guy has a very good writing handwriting, and he can help write some documents and files, and he can be used as a secretary when he puts them around. I also saw that Chen Tianlang was righteous enough, so I generously recommended him to Chen Tianlang for use. After hearing this, Chen Tianlang knew that this was a material to spread information and be a spy.

After accepting these three talents very happily, Chen Tianlang couldn't help but sigh, what kind of era is this, the so-called talents in the future are nothing more than returnees, doctors, and masters, but in this era, in order to open up territory and develop careers, they recruit some traitors.

But when I think about it, I am relieved.

Pioneers used knives and swords.

Oxen and plows were used for sowing.

I am now pioneering, and I can only use the sharpest knives and swords.

Well, let yourself take them to expand the territory and build their own coal empire.

Just when Chen Tianlang was in reverie, Xiao Juan, who was his female secretary, knocked on the door and came in to say that Ji Chunhua from the Golden Horse Company came to look for him.

Chen Tianlang paused for a moment, the so-called "Nothing to do" to the Three Treasures Palace, I don't know what happened to this girl.
