Chapter 893: Mr. Xu
After Chen Qingdong returned to work, he spent several days dealing with the follow-up matters of the marriage. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Because Chen Qingdong's wedding was too low-key, only twenty tables of wedding banquets were prepared in total, and only five tables were allocated to Chenqiao Town, but there were too many people in the town who wanted to drink Chen Qingdong's wedding wine, and they were unwilling to let anyone go.
However, those who failed to drink Chen Qingdong's wedding wine were still unwilling, and their opinions were still very big, so after Chen Qingdong came to work in the unit, Wu Zhenshan immediately found Chen Qingdong to discuss whether to hold a few more tables of wedding wine to appease some people who had big opinions.
In fact, Chen Qingdong also understands this kind of thing, because in the countryside, many people still take this custom very seriously, especially some people with serious old concepts, if they offend them because they are not allowed to drink this cup of wine, or even affect the future work, it will really outweigh the losses.
However, Chen Qingdong would never go back on his word and hold another wedding wine in Chenqiao, so after thinking about it, Chen Qingdong decided to invite a table of wine every night, and call those who "have opinions" and have a certain amount of weight to come over for a drink.
I drank it for several more days before I finally got the deal done.
At this time, it was already late March.
In fact, on March 12, the day after Tran Thanh Dong got married, the World Health Organization (WHO) issued its first global SARS warning, describing the SARS outbreak in places like Vietnam and Hong Kong. On March 15, the company issued a second global SARS warning and formally introduced the concept of SARS, as well as the definition of suspected and probable cases of SARS.
Chen Qingdong continued to pay attention to the news in this regard, and he knew that the SARS epidemic was about to break out.
However, most parts of China have not paid much attention to the epidemic, as the head of a relevant department in Guangzhou said in an interview with reporters: for Guangzhou, a city of 10 million people, more than 300 people are infected is a small percentage, and the environment in Guangzhou is safe. The person in charge also pointed out that the situation of SARS is not a spread, but only a local occurrence. After timely preventive measures, patients were able to receive effective treatment and the epidemic has been initially controlled.
After seeing the person in charge's speech, Chen Qingdong couldn't help but sigh that at the forefront of the epidemic like Guangzhou, people in relevant units are so slow to respond, not to mention other places.
For example, Liu Lin, almost no one cares about this matter, at most, after seeing reports about this situation on TV or in newspapers, they just talk about it after cooking.
In short, life is still going on as it was before, and there is no SARS at all.
Since Kong Yanjun told him on the wedding day that Xu Bin had a cement factory project in his hands, Chen Qingdong has always kept this matter in mind and treated it as a very important matter.
While returning to the unit and dealing with the matter at hand, he thought about contacting Xu Bin about the project.
But because he and Xu Bin really don't have any friendship, at most they only have a two-sided relationship, just go to Xu Bin to talk about the project, the possibility of success may not be too great, if there is an acquaintance to pull the strings, then the possibility of success is undoubtedly much greater.
Moreover, Chen Qingdong knew that Zhao Changbin had a good relationship with Xu Bin, he saw Xu Bin for the first time, and he also had a big meal in the internal restaurant of the famous Yongyun Iron and Steel Plant, which was stained with Zhao Changbin's light.
Therefore, Zhao Changbin is undoubtedly the most suitable middleman.
Chen Qingdong called Zhao Changbin and told him about it, hoping that Zhao Changbin could help match him in the middle, and Zhao Changbin also readily agreed to this matter. However, Zhao Changbin went to Shanghai to discuss a business after attending Chen Qingdong's wedding, and he has not come back yet, but he promised that he would come to Liulin directly as soon as he returned.
Chen Qingdong had no choice but to wait patiently for Zhao Changbin's news.
On the afternoon of March 17, Chen Qingdong finally received a call from Zhao Changbin.
"Qingdong, I have already gotten off the plane from Jiyang, and I can get to Liulin in about an hour. Qingdong, you're okay now, right?"
"It's okay! It's okay! Brother Bin, do you want me to pick you up in Jiyang?"
Zhao Changbin smiled: "This is not necessary, my driver is already waiting for me at the airport." That's right, I just called Xu Bin, he has nothing to do now, I asked him to arrange a meal in their internal restaurant, how about we go and eat him tonight?"
Chen Qingdong was very happy and said with a smile: "This is great! Brother Bin, this time it is really troublesome for you again!"
Zhao Changbin laughed: "What's the trouble with this! I haven't been to Xu Bin's place for dinner for a long time, and I miss his big meal a lot! You also know that Xu Bin is really extravagant in eating and drinking, let's go in and see what delicious food he gets!"
Then he said: "Qingdong, then let's do it, you will go back to the county seat in a while, let's meet directly in the county seat, and then go to Xu Bin together." ”
Chen Qingdong said: "Okay, Brother Bin, I'll go back to the county seat and wait for you now, and call me when you arrive." ”
Zhao Changbin said: "Okay, then let's meet and talk again." ”
After making the call, Chen Qingdong simply cleaned up, and then called Wu Zhenshan to say that he was going to Xu Bin's place for dinner in the evening, and asked Wu Zhenshan to sort out all the materials in Chen Qiao that were conducive to the construction of the cement plant, and bring them with him.
Before this, Chen Qingdong had already talked to Wu Zhenshan about this matter, and Wu Zhenshan had already prepared the information, and immediately took out the information to check it again, and then followed Chen Qingdong into the city together.
Zhao Changbin called Chen Qingdong when it was almost five o'clock, it had been two hours since he had called Chen Qingdong just now, and after they met at the outer ring road, Zhao Changbin did not explain the reason why he came so slowly, Chen Qingdong naturally did not ask, and the two cars drove directly to Yongyun Iron and Steel Plant.
After entering the Yongyun Iron and Steel Plant, Zhao Changbin sent his driver to go outside to find a hotel or something to stay for a while, and Chen Qingdong asked Wang Fang to go out first.
Zhao Changbin didn't call Xu Bin, so he took Chen Qingdong and them to Zhao Changbin's office.
On the way, a few people inside the Yongyun Iron and Steel Plant greeted Zhao Changbin after seeing him, and asked him if he was going to find Mr. Xu.
Wu Zhenshan knew that Zhao Changbin was the son of Zhao Youcheng, member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, and he was also an entrepreneur with a successful career, so he couldn't help but have the idea of wanting to be close to Zhao Changbin. After seeing that Zhao Changbin was so familiar with the people inside Yongyun Iron and Steel Plant, Wu Zhenshan deliberately accosted: "Mr. Zhao, it seems that you are very familiar here, and you must have a good relationship with Mr. Xu!"
Zhao Changbin smiled and said: "My relationship with Mr. Xu is really good, in fact, our two families are also some world friends, my grandfather and his grandfather were the same group of classmates who went to Japan to study, and they used to rent a house together, and the relationship is very iron! Later, after Mr. Xu came to Yongyun Iron and Steel Plant as the old boss, the distance between us was closer, and there were more people moving around naturally. ”
Wu Zhenshan said with some flattery: "It turns out that Mr. Zhao and Mr. Xu still have this relationship, this is really a world friend!"
Chen Qingdong also learned today that there is such a relationship between Zhao Changbin and Xu Bin, but he was not surprised, because Xu Bin's age is not very old, although his ability is naturally nothing to say, but if he only has ability and does not have a deep family background, then I am afraid he will not be able to become the CEO of Yongyun Iron and Steel Plant, a large state-owned enterprise, so young!
Perhaps, it is precisely because Xu Bin has such a deep family background that he can run Yongyun Iron and Steel Plant so well.
As the so-called existence is reasonable, many things that seem a little improbable, but once you understand the internal reasons, you can take it for granted.
When he came to the door of Xu Bin's office, Zhao Changbin knocked on the door, and without waiting for a response, he pushed the door open and walked in, and Chen Qingdong and Wu Zhenshan also walked in.
This is the first time Chen Qingdong has come to Xu Bin's office, and at a glance, he was immediately shocked by the luxury of Xu Bin's office!
Walking into this thick solid wood door, the first thing that catches your eye is a richly renovated living room, completely decorated in Chinese style, with a huge ink painting hanging on the wall, which occupies almost half of the wall. In the middle of the living room, there is a set of leather sofas that are very expensive at first glance, the coffee table is like mahogany, and there is a set of celadon tea sets on the coffee table.
Continuing to walk inside from the living room is Xu Bin's office. The suite alone has an area of at least 50 square meters, and there is a precious Xinjiang wool carpet on the ground, which is fluffy and soft, as if walking on cotton.
Xu Bin's desk is a very beautiful executive desk with modern equipment such as computers, printers, and telephones!
What surprised Chen Qingdong even more was that in a corner of Xu Bin's office, there was also a pot of yew trees that grew very well! Chen Qingdong knew that yew, also known as purple shirt, is a natural and rare anti-cancer plant recognized as endangered in the world, and is an ancient tree species left over from the Quaternary glaciation, which has a history of 2.5 million years on the earth, and wild yew is extremely rare because of the extremely low survival rate of seeds.
As the saying goes, "scarcity is expensive", so the price of this kind of yew potted plant is also very high, a pot of ordinary yew grows can easily cost thousands of yuan, like such a pot of potted plants that grow so well, the price must be more than 10,000!
It's really better to see than to hear, Chen Qingdong was really breathtaking after seeing the luxurious furnishings of Xu Bin's office today!
Xu Bin's office is really much more upscale than Xu Minglei's office in terms of area and luxury!
Just from Xu Bin's office, you can see how rich the Forever Steel Factory is!
