When Xiao Chen and Zhang Pingchang went to the municipal axe for dinner, they were a little surprised.

Zhang Pingchang, the mayor, is very interesting, he greets people when he meets, and he takes the initiative, whether he knows him or not, he greets him with a smile, is polite, and has no arrogance at all.

When he arrived at the political axe canteen, Xiao Chen found that he had met a confidant today. While talking to him, Mayor Zhang stood at the back of the cooking team very casually, and said very politely: "Come, Xiao Chen, you are a guest, stand in front of me." ”

He called Xiao Chen's name directly, not only did not make Xiao Chen feel impolite or polite, but made him feel that this chapter of Pingchang is so easy-going, if he is called "Xiao Xiao", although he is indeed older than Xiao Chen, it will still seem a little big, let alone "Xiao Chen"; But the name "Comrade Xiao Chen" seems to be a bit formulaic and a little alienated; Only casually calling Xiao Chen like this makes Xiao Chen feel a strange closeness, as if it should be like this.

Although Zhang Pingchang's secretary was also with him on the first day, he was obviously explained by Zhang Pingchang in advance, and he didn't come over and say: "Mayor, let's go to the upstairs box to eat", he is now following behind and queuing up honestly. Huang Rui naturally followed Zhang Pingchang's secretary, and he was also a little shocked in his heart, Xiao Chen was queuing up in the canteen of the district party committee as the deputy secretary of the district party committee, which made many cadres babble or gossip behind their backs...... Huang Rui always feels a little unrealistic at this time, when did our party's leading cadres become so "honest"?

The people in the cafeteria were also shocked, Zhang Pingchang This is the first day of real office, yesterday was busy like that, and he had to entertain Minister Xu, of course it doesn't count, now the mayor is really on the first day of office, and he actually ran to the canteen to line up to eat with a district party secretary, and this group of small civil servants were all surprised, as if they had seen a mirage.

Xiao Chen was only slightly surprised, and said with a smile: "I'm young, no matter what, I should stand behind." ”

Zhang Pingchang laughed: "Respect for the elderly, oops, I still think that I am a young Zhuang faction, you will treat me as an old man, okay, the old man is an old man, then I am welcome." As he spoke, he stopped pushing and stood in front of Xiao Chen.

The person who came to the cafeteria in front of him to eat suddenly had a mayor behind his buttocks, and he felt that something was wrong no matter how he stood up, as if the mayor was staring at him from behind his buttocks. And the aunt who was cooking in the cafeteria also heard the person next to her say that the one in the back was the new mayor, and the speed of cooking suddenly more than doubled, and the flow of people in front of her was all served within a few minutes.

Zhang Pingchang stepped forward and said with a smile: "Eldest sister, two meat and one vegetarian, thank you." ”

This eldest sister really startled the eldest sister, a person who is usually very talkative, stammered when she spoke, and said, "Okay...... Meat with green peppers...... Stir-fried meat, snow ...... Red meat puree, hot and sour squid...... Shredded, cucumber and ham......"

"Then stir-fried pork with green peppers, sour and hot shredded squid, plus a ...... Water spinach bar, thank you. Zhang Pingchang said with a smile.

Seeing that Mayor Zhang was so kind, the eldest sister of the cafeteria settled down, and looked at Mayor Zhang's empty hands, and the secretary behind him didn't want to take the food box to herself. picked up the standard stainless steel rice bowl next to him and gave Zhang Pingchang a meal.

Zhang Pingchang handed over the meal ticket, just about to leave, suddenly remembered that Xiao Chen did not have a meal ticket, and was stunned for a moment, the secretary behind him had already hurriedly handed over the meal ticket, Zhang Pingchang patted his forehead with the meal ticket, and said with a smile: "I almost forgot, come, I invited this meal." ”

Xiao Chen laughed, took the meal ticket handed by Zhang Pingchang, and said with a smile: "That's really thank you mayor, next time you come to our Dingqing to inspect, I will definitely ask for a meal ticket." ”

Zhang Pingchang said happily: "Okay, then it's decided, as long as I have the opportunity, I will definitely eat this meal ticket, haha." "Then I went to find a place first.

Xiao Chen took a step forward and said, "Stir-fried pork in the snow, hot and sour shredded squid, plus water spinach, thank you." He heard a total of five dish names, and he didn't bother to read them carefully, so he ordered them casually.

When he went to find Zhang Pingchang with his food, he found that Zhang Pingchang had already sat in a corner, and there were two bottles of Tingjiang dry beer bought in the commissary next to him for three yuan a bottle on the table.

As soon as Xiao Chen sat down, Zhang Pingchang handed him a bottle: "It's icy, it's cool." Xiao Chen didn't like to drink, especially beer, but at this time, looking at Zhang Pingchang's smiling face, he couldn't say anything if he refused, but he took it with a smile. I glanced at the third-rate beer produced in the house, and said that this wine ...... The mayor also drinks?

Over there, his secretary and Huang Rui also came over for dinner, but they were going to sit at another table, Zhang Pingchang persuaded him, how could they really come to the same table with the leader? Naturally, Zhang Pingchang was not reluctant, so he picked up the two other bottles of beer on the ground and handed each of them a bottle, and said with a smile: "Our local beer in Langliu, we are leaders, how much support we have." ”

Xiao Chen only then understood what he meant by ignoring so many brand-name beers in the commissary, but taking such four bottles of local third-rate beer.

Zhang Pingchang turned his head and saw that Xiao Chen was still waiting for him, picked up the chopsticks with a smile and said, "What are you waiting for, eat quickly." Saying that, he was not polite, and directly began to grill rice.

Xiao Chen smiled in his heart, so he stopped being polite and began to eat. The two ate a few bites and drank two more sips of beer. To be honest, Xiao Chen is a person who hardly drinks alcohol, even if the beer is good or bad, he can't drink it.

But at this time, Zhang Pingchang spoke: "Actually, I think this wine is okay, why is it only a little marketable in our Langliu?" Why can't it be sold? Beer shouldn't be saturated with the surrounding market, right? ”

Although Xiao Chen can't taste the taste of beer, he can say a few words about Zhang Pingchang's question. He said: "I don't know about this matter, the quality of the wine itself. But to say that the sales channel has not been opened, I think the key is that the publicity and packaging are not in place. If this wine, if it is indeed as the mayor said, it is okay, then if we change the packaging, for example, the bottle is more delicate, instead of this cheap green glass bottle, use a more beautiful bottle. Then, put a few more advertisements in the province, so that I don't think that in a year, the sales of our Tingjiang beer will definitely increase significantly. ”

Zhang Pingchang looked at Xiao Chen, thought slightly, and asked, "Sales will inevitably increase greatly, what is the specific concept?" ”

Xiao Chen smiled: "It's not a problem to multiply it a few times." ”

Zhang Pingchang was slightly taken aback: "How many times?" How good is the advertising effect?? "He is engaged in foreign trade and economic cooperation, and he has not yet deeply understood the effectiveness of domestic advertising.

Xiao Chen said with a smile: "I had a friend when I was in the capital, she was in the pharmaceutical industry, and she started advertising at the beginning of last year, and she spent a lot of money on advertising on more than a dozen provincial TV stations across the country, spending nearly 10 million yuan, and the money for advertising was all loans." As a result, at the end of the year, not only did he return to his capital, but he also made a profit of three to five million. ”

Zhang Pingchang's face became serious, and he pondered: "Is it really so effective?" He suddenly said, "Then the packaging is also very important, right?" Otherwise, the advertisement went out, and when people looked at the packaging, they said that this is also embarrassing to be called a famous brand? Isn't that a joke? ”

Xiao Chen said with a smile: "Yes, that's right, so the first step is to change the packaging, and the second step is to advertise the products with the new packaging. And this is good, it's not an effect like one plus one equals one, it should have a snowball effect. ”

Zhang Pingchang nodded, forgot to eat the meal, looked at the beer bottle, and nodded: "Not bad, not bad, that's the truth." He suddenly turned around and asked his secretary: "Xiao Liu, Tingjiang Brewery is a state-owned enterprise, I seemed to have a glance when I looked at the financial report last night, it should be a loss-making enterprise, isn't it?" ”

Xiao Liu's name was Liu Jiancheng, he hurriedly put down his chopsticks, and said: "Yes, the mayor remembers correctly, Tingjiang Brewery is a state-owned enterprise, a section-level state-owned enterprise managed by Langling District, as for the loss, it seems that there is, but the amount is ...... I don't remember much now, but I shouldn't have lost much. ”

Zhang Pingchang waved his hand: "If you don't lose much, it's also a loss, and it's not normal for an enterprise not to make a profit, and it is a situation that doesn't conform to the laws of the economy, so we must find a way to change it." I think the two methods that Comrade Xiao Chen just mentioned are very reasonable, and I have to talk to him next time Secretary Dong comes to me. Record it also, lest I forget. ”

Liu Jiancheng hurriedly responded, took out the small notebook he carried with him, and wrote down Xiao Chen's thoughts just now.

Zhang Pingchang turned his head again and said with a smile: "Come on, come on, cheers for coming up with such a good idea, which may save a promising enterprise." ”

Xiao Chen is now slightly familiar with Zhang Pingchang's style, and raised the beer bottle with a smile, of course, when the two of them touched the bottle, Xiao Chen still paid attention to it, and deliberately raised his bottle a little lower, and the subordinate clinked glasses with the superior, and the mouth of the cup (bottle mouth) could not exceed the superior. Of course, this rule also applies to juniors clinking glasses with elders.

Zhang Pingchang didn't seem to have paid attention to the problem of the bottle mouth at all, so he casually touched Xiao Chen, just poured it down in a big gulp, and then said with a smile: "This wine is really good, I think the water for making this wine should be good, well, the wheat is okay." ”

Xiao Chen's heart moved, and he said, "This wine is made with the water of Maple Lake, right?" Most of the places in Maple Lake belong to our Dingqing, and I thought about one thing last time, but it is a little difficult to do it now. ”

Zhang Pingchang became interested: "What's the matter?" ”

Xiao Chen said: "What I planned at the time, Maple Lake is such a good resource, with beautiful scenery, and a deep-water lake, why can't we make good use of it?" ”

Zhang Pingchang patted the table lightly: "Don't sell it, just say it." ”

Xiao Chen smiled: "Don't worry, what I thought at the time, Wahaha 91 years of reform, now it's only a few years, just lay down such a big situation, our Chinese market is very large, the beverage market is far from saturated, at this time if we use a new management model to establish a beverage factory, even if it is to sell deep lake mineral water, it is also a very profitable business." "Don't be surprised, when the mineral water first appeared in Langliu, it sold for three yuan a bottle, and although the sales volume was not large at that time, the wealth created was not a joke, because the first rich people who became rich at that time usually drank it. Later, the number of wealthy people gradually increased, and the price of mineral water gradually decreased, although the profit of a single bottle declined, but the sales volume was many times larger. It is impossible for Xiao Chen not to think about the profits. The key point for him is that he has no capital, and he also feels that his authority is a little smaller, and he can't recruit big talents. Modern beverage enterprises, to develop and grow, it is not possible to have a good management, Xiao Chen may be able to find one or two good talents, but one management is not easy to say. Although Mr. Zong's wahaha is led by him, the soul of the person, but it is an economically developed area, and it is easy to recruit talents, but the management is slowly promoted. Xiao Chen doesn't have this advantage here.

"Oh?" Zhang Pingchang looked at Xiao Chen: "Comrade Xiao Chen, you have a lot of golden ideas in your head." ”

Xiao Chen smiled bitterly: "Even if there is Ma Liang's magic pen, it is useless without ink." Now the state is cutting projects that are a ghost crying god, I don't know how many projects we have cut in Langliu, but I know that we have seen 17 projects in one district of Dingqing. Not only enterprises, but other infrastructure projects have been cut, including a very critical road. ”

Zhang Pingchang snorted and said softly: "The city has cut 146 projects, involving 3.17 billion yuan. ”

Xiao Chen was a little surprised, he only came to Langliu yesterday, so he remembered it so clearly? But it does sound ruthless, more than 100 projects have been cut in one city, how many are going to be cut in the whole country? On the other hand, how many projects were there in the country before the cut?

Xiao Chen nodded and said with a wry smile: "I knew there was no hope." ”

Zhang Pingchang smiled: "There are good projects to strive for, I'll see this then." ”

Xiao Chen smiled and didn't speak.

Zhang Pingchang asked again: "Actually, I came to you today, and in addition to asking about yesterday's incident, there is another matter. ”

Xiao Chen nodded: "Mayor, please speak." ”

Zhang Pingchang smiled: "You don't have to be so nervous, let's just chat now...... Well, I want to ask, do you really plan to build an engine production line in Dingqing District?? ”

Xiao Chen looked at Zhang Pingchang's face. But his face was calm and he couldn't see anything.

Xiao Chen said in a slow voice: "Regarding this matter, I have investigated it in detail, and the most critical issue, the problem of money, should now be said to have been preliminarily resolved." ”

"Oh??" Zhang Pingchang was a little surprised: "You solved the problem of money?" How was it solved? ”

Xiao Chen glanced around and whispered, "Running the money into the ......"

Zhang Pingchang was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "That's also a skill, or a big ability." ”

Xiao Chen smiled.

Zhang Pingchang thought about it again and asked, "What about the sales problem?" ”

Xiao Chen pondered in his heart, the reason why he didn't think about the problem of sales was because he had planned to make the whole vehicle himself after the production of this engine early on, but it was difficult to talk to Zhang Pingchang now. I had to hesitate slightly, and said, "When the time comes, you can go about the relationship...... I'm in FAW and I know a little bit of people. ”

Zhang Pingchang glanced at Xiao Chen deeply, nodded slightly, and didn't say much this time.

The two of them then began to continue eating, and then clinked glasses very calmly, and the meal was quickly finished.

Zhang Pingchang beckoned: "Let's not rest at noon, Xiao Liu, you get ready to get out of the car, let's go to Dingqing to have a look." ”

Liu Jiancheng hurriedly responded, and hurriedly ran to prepare the car.

Xiao Chen was stunned: "What is the mayor going to see?" ”

Zhang Pingchang said with a smile: "Don't worry, it's not a surprise inspection, I want to go to see the place you planned, and I plan to do the production line." By the way, take a look at what the people you recruited are up to right now. ”

Xiao Chen smiled: "That's right, okay, we'll go at noon, and I won't inform them, let's see what they're doing." ”

Zhang Pingchang smiled and nodded: "Now there is no factory or anything, right?" ”

Xiao Chen snorted: "I just allocated 200,000 yuan, first bulldoze a little bit of a place, build a cement floor, and build a warehouse, so as not to get the machine to come, but we have no place to put it." "Xiao Chen really didn't know at this time, after a while, the machine came over, and the warehouse was indeed not enough. The machine of the engine production line is very large, and the warehouse repaired here is not qualified, and it cannot be stored at one time, and it has to be disassembled and put separately, which hinders a lot of things.

Zhang Pingchang naturally didn't know that there would be such a thing, so he nodded, but he didn't wait for the car to pick him up here, and beckoned Xiao Chen to go over to the side where he parked. While saying: "You take my car in a while, let's talk slowly, a little more detailed." ”

Xiao Chen nodded.

At this time, Xiao Liu had already sat on the Mitsubishi off-road vehicle, and when he saw Zhang Pingchang and Xiao Chen coming, he hurriedly called the driver to stop, and then came over and said, "Mayor, the car is ready." ”

Zhang Pingchang smiled and said to Xiao Chen: "Come, get in the car and speak slowly, you ask your driver's secretary to lead the way in front." ”

Xiao Chen nodded and said to Huang Rui: "Did you hear the mayor's words?" ”

Huang Rui smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go over to find Lao Han." ”

Xiao Chen got into Zhang Pingchang's car. After less than two minutes, Xiao Chen's black Santana car appeared in front, Xiao Chen smiled and said to Zhang Pingchang's driver: "Master, the black Santana in front is, just follow it." ”

The master responded with a smile, but Zhang Pingchang was slightly curious, and said with a smile: "You, the car of the secretary of the district party committee, are a little shabby." Look at Xiao Chen to see how he reacts.

Xiao Chen didn't have any special reaction, just replied: "The car, you can still run, I haven't cared much about my ass." ”

Zhang Pingchang laughed, and Liu Jiancheng and the driver also laughed together.

It's just that they don't know why Mayor Zhang is laughing.
