Tang Yikun called Tao Tang twice in a row to inquire about the acquisition of the steel pipe factory. But this is not the purpose, the purpose is to ask Tao Tang to introduce himself to Lu Yaozu. It is said that with Donghu's pivotal position in the Pingquan industry, Tang Yikun doesn't need to care about the secretary of the municipal party committee, but he just wants Tao Tang to help this little favor, and it is very urgent.

Feeling Tang Yikun's dissatisfaction, Tao Tang finally agreed to take Tang Yikun to "meet" Lu Yaozu.

The problem of the steel pipe factory is no longer a problem, and the conclusion of Liu Xinjun's team's research report is that it agrees with the merger of the steel pipe factory by Red Star.

The report addresses three areas. The first is the market problem, in 2012 the sales revenue of the steel pipe factory was 26 million, of which eighty percent is the East Lake internal support, according to Tang Yiwei's introduction, the market will expand this year - estimated at around 40 million, all from the East Lake real estate company. It is a growth point for the Red Star Company, which is in urgent need of expanding its scale, although it is not large, but it is of great significance, which is equivalent to entering the supporting market of East Lake Real Estate. The scale of East Lake Real Estate has surpassed that of Red Star, and there are many articles to be done. The second is the issue of assets and liabilities, the total assets of the steel pipe factory are 22 million (including the land assets obtained at a low price in East Lake), and the asset-liability ratio is as high as 91%. But if you consider the multiplication of the land in the steel pipe factory, Red Star is still cheap. Moreover, the equipment condition of the steel pipe plant is not bad, and it has a complementary effect with the Red Star. The third is personnel, a total of 329 people, of which three-quarters are skilled personnel, all of whom are needed by Red Star, and the burden on personnel is not heavy. The only thing that needs to be considered is that the brilliant headquarters has a reduction index for Red Star, and these more than 300 people are added, and this year's reduction index will be in vain, and a special explanation needs to be made to the headquarters.

After the investigation of the East Lake Steel Pipe Plant led by Liu Xinjun was completed, Tao Tang did not hold a special general manager's office meeting to study the matter, but forwarded the research report to the company's leaders. Please endorse your comments in writing. Li Luo, Luo Chong, Han Zhiyong, and Ma Guangming, who were directly responsible for this matter, all agreed in principle to the merger, and Guo Tao was the only one who explicitly opposed it, and Guo Tao's objections were somewhat general, on the grounds that Red Star's foreign investment in recent years had not been successful, and considering the current business difficulties, it seemed that it should be seriously considered. Zhou Bing believed that Donghu threw out a steel pipe factory that must have a plan, which should be a prelude to Donghu's plot against Pingquan New Town, and should be considered in the long run.

Tang Yikun has been urging, and Tao Tang has no choice but to express something. Thereupon. He called Lu Yaozu and asked to report in person.

But Lu Yaozu's phone was in the hands of a young man, at least the voice was still young, Tao Tang was estimated to be Lu Yaozu's secretary, and the other party asked, "Who are you?" What is the matter with Secretary Lu? "Very arrogant.

"I'm Tao Tang, chairman of Red Star Company, please give the phone to Secretary Lu." Tao Tang is also not polite.

Tao Tang was disgusted by the big leaders' way of handing over their mobile phones to the secretaries, and Feng Shizhao was like this, so Tao Tang took this opportunity not to call him. If you want to call, you can also call a landline, and when Feng Shizhao asked him, he took the opportunity to give his opinion, but Feng Shizhao was still the same. Fortunately, Feng Shizhao is also at the deputy ministerial level, Lu Yaozu, what are you doing in the main hall at a young age?

"Secretary Lu is busy. Tell me something. I'm his secretary Zhang Yang. "This Secretary Zhang didn't care about Tao Tang's identity, and he was a little arrogant.

Publicity? Tao Tang smiled bitterly, he knew that if he didn't tell his true identity and reason, this Zhang Yang would not "notify" Lu Yaozu. Unless he goes directly to the municipal party committee, but who knows if he is not in the office?

"Secretary Zhang, about the asset restructuring with East Lake Machinery. It was Secretary Lu who personally inquired, and I want to go to the municipal party committee with Chairman Tang of East Lake to report to Secretary Lu in person......"

"Donghu Tang is always coming? Please wait a moment......" Obviously, the weight of Donghu is heavier than Hongxing in the eyes of Secretary Zhang.

Tao Tang immediately turned off the phone.

Lu Yaozu's call came back soon, and it was Lu Yaozu himself, "Come at half past five, I'll wait in the office." ”

Tao Tang called Tang Yikun and made an appointment to meet at the municipal party committee at 5:20. When Tao Tang went to the compound of the municipal party committee, Tang Yikun was already waiting in front of the main building, and Tao Tang saw that people kept greeting Tang Yikun, and no one paid attention to him.

"Lao Tao, you are very punctual, almost not a second. This is Director Qian of the Education Bureau, and Mr. Tao, Chairman of Red Star, ...... "Tang Yikun introduced the officials he was talking to to Tao Tang.

"Hello Qian Bureau (Mr. Tao), ......" the two politely shook hands.

"Old Qian, Mr. Tao helped me make an appointment with Secretary Lu, I have something to report to Secretary Lu, and I will gather at the club another day......"

"Haha, it's no problem to get together. But you can't go to the clubhouse. Director Qian said with a smile, "The municipal party committee has just issued a document, and you will not be allowed to enter the high-end club in the future." ”

"Ah, when did this happen?" Tang Yikun was very surprised.

"It's just yesterday, Boss Tang has always been well-informed, but he didn't know?"

"Looks like I'm going to change the name of that restaurant. What the is a high-end clubhouse, is it enough? Oh, old Qian, I'm sorry, it's time......" Tang Yikun beckoned to Director Qian, dragged Tao Tang up the steps, entered the building, and went straight to the elevator.

Tao Tang is the first time to enter this building, which symbolizes the highest power in Pingquan City, but Tang Yikun is obviously familiar with the way, and directly pressed the ninth floor, just like no one else in the elevator room, "Old Tao, you said that it is always like this, either left or right, the spacious road, you can't walk in the middle once?" Is this what is called Chinese characteristics? ”

"It's called overcorrection."

"Hehe, overcorrected...... When I arrived, I don't know if Secretary Lu used Secretary Wang's office to ......"

Tao Tang didn't say anything. He knew that with Lu Yaozu's character, he would never occupy his predecessor's office.

Sure enough, Tang Yikun asked twice before he found Lu Yaozu's office.

"Hello. It's Secretary Zhang, right? My surname is Tao, and I made an appointment with Secretary Lu two hours ago......" Tao Tang, who was walking in front, said to the slightly thin secretary in his thirties who was writing something on the outside.

"Oh, Mr. Tang! Mr. Tao! The two CEOs are good. Zhang Yang stood up, "Secretary Lu is here, please wait." He greeted warmly and then knocked on the door and entered Lu Yaozu's office, and immediately came out again, "The two bosses, please, Secretary Lu is waiting." ”

"Chairman Tang? Hello, I've admired the daimyo for a long time. Ha ha. Have a seat. Lao Tao, you also sit, the two of them are well-deserved bull ears in the Pingquan industry, and they came together today, what are the big things and good things? ”

Tao Tang shook hands with Lu Yaozu and sat on the sofa without saying a word, Tang Yikun said respectfully to Lu Yaozu, "Secretary Lu is good." I've wanted to report to you for a long time, but today is the light of Mr. Tao......"

"Let's get down to business," Lu Yaozu looked at his watch, "There is still an event at half past six." ”

"Don, do you say it...... To be brief, Secretary Lu still has something to do. Tao Tang waved his hand at Tang Yikun.

Wait for Lu Yaozu to sit down. Tang Yikun sat down and accurately reported in concise language the consequences of the merger of the steel pipe factory under East Lake Machinery into Red Star, which took five minutes, "That's the situation, Secretary Lu." ”

"You don't need to tell me about that, do you?" Lu Yaozu looked at Tao Tang, "This is completely a corporate behavior." As long as you two are willing, there are no government problems, right? ”

"Yes. We have agreed to take over the steel pipe factory...... Tang Dong came today to report on the situation in East Lake, old Tang. Why don't I avoid it? ”

Secretary Zhang brought in two cups of tea.

"What are you avoiding...... Tang Yikun smiled, "Secretary Lu, there was some stability problem in the steel pipe factory some time ago, which caused chaos in the city. Red Star took over the small factory. It can be regarded as Mr. Tao who has done me a favor in the face of his old classmates. Donghu Industry, especially Donghu Machinery, has encountered some problems, and I would like to report to you......"

"Oh? Are you classmates? Lu Yaozu raised his hand and drew a circle, like a question mark.

Tao Tang stood up. "We, as well as the deputy mayor of the city government, Zhou Hongyou, are all in the same high school class...... I'll go see Hongyou next week, old Tang, you have some time. He gestured to his watch. didn't ask Lu Yaozu, and went straight out, Lu Yaozu shouted behind him, "Tao Tang, I have something to talk to you later, you come back." ”

"Okay." Tao Tang had already opened the door.

He had been to Zhou Hongyou's office, and he happened to be there, and he was talking to two people, and when he saw Tao Tanglai, he was very happy, and said to those two people, "That's it, you can talk to the Finance Bureau." He drove the two away, and said to Tao Tang instead, "Sit." What wind blows you, don't say hello in advance. ”

"I was kidnapped by Tang Yikun to see Secretary Lu, and he was reporting. I don't have a place to hide, so I'm running to you...... Busy lately? ”

"Oh? What did Lao Tang do with Secretary Lu? ”

"How do I know. Doesn't that make room for him? ”

Zhou Hongyou remembered the environmental protection turmoil, but he mentioned this matter again, "I guess Lao Tang is talking about the construction of the new city...... Lao Tao, you tell me the truth, what is Red Star's attitude? ”

"I don't think so. Tang Laosan's East Lake Machinery encountered a problem in operation, and must have found a way to solve it, and asked the city for help......"

"By the way, I heard that Donghu is going to transfer that steel pipe factory to you?"

"Yes. I consulted with Headquarters and agreed. Mainly considering the market issues, it can be regarded as a win-win situation. ”

"Recently, I went to the development zone, and the overall problem is not small, and it is much more deserted than last year...... The general environment is like this, and it is not a problem of the Donghu family. However, selling a steel pipe factory does not quench the thirst, and in addition, the opinions of the top management of East Lake are not very consistent. By the way, I heard that you are not bad there, the industrial output value in May rose to 600 million, and Mayor Shangguan also talked about Red Star at the office meeting the day before yesterday, thinking that to stop the decline in total volume, it is necessary to rely on large enterprise groups such as Red Star and Donghu. What do you think? What's the situation like this month? ”

"The situation is generally good, as in the country...... The key is in the second half of the year......" Tao Tang vaguely agreed. He noticed what Zhou Hongyou just said about "not quenching his thirst", and it seemed that he knew Tang Yikun's overall strategy.

"I still think that Red Star has to be reborn for a transformation. It's not going to work for a big mess like yours. ”

"I don't want to, but I don't know where the opportunity for rebirth is?"

"Knowingly asked. Of course, it's the construction of a new city. ”

"Easy to say. Red Star is not a steel pipe factory......"

"That's why you're doing it? Don't you have a headache right now? Entering the program, who will assess your specific indicators? Zhou Hongyou seized the opportunity to fool Tao Tang.

"Has the new city project been approved? If it's approved, don't I want to move? So this matter is not on my ......" Speaking of this, Tao Tang's phone rang, it was Lu Yaozu who came, "Okay, I'll go over immediately." ”

"Well, let's talk again. Secretary Lu looked for me. Tao Tang just left, anyway, he didn't want to talk about this issue, let alone be optimistic.

When he returned to Lu Yaozu's office, he saw that Lu Yaozu had sent Tang Yikun, "Then so be it...... Good bye. Lu Yaozu and Tang Yikun shook hands and said goodbye.

"I'll be waiting for you below." Tang Yikun said to Tao Tang.

"Okay......" Tao Tang followed Lu Yaozu into the inner room, Lu Yaozu closed the door, "Where did you go around?" ”

"I chatted with Zhou Hongyou for a few words...... He's thinking about the new city project. ”

"How much do you know about the new city project?" Lu Yaozu motioned for Tao Tang to sit down and talk.

"Basically don't know. Just knowing that the city wants Red Star to move out. Tao Tang did not sit down, but looked at his watch.

"What do you think?"

"I don't approve. Of course, I am speaking from the standpoint of the Red Star. I advise you to be cautious, it is not easy for Red Star to move, the total number of employees' families is eighty or ninety-thousand, plus the foreign population, it must be more than 100,000......"

"Well, the city government reported to me once, and they were in a hurry. But the plan has not yet been formally approved, and there are still some procedures to follow...... It's a trivial matter for me to look for you, do you have a suitable candidate for me to be my secretary? ”

"Transfer the secretary from me? Why? Tao Tang was surprised.

"Lao Tao, I'm not suitable as a secretary now. He is Shangguan Hong's person, I have verified it. They hate this hand, I want to find a ...... who has no background in Pingquan officialdom" Lu Yaozu's face became gloomy.

"Understood...... But that doesn't seem appropriate...... By the way, I have a person I know, who is in the Municipal Party Committee Office, named Lu Wei, who is a child of Red Star, and it is said that he is not very successful in the Municipal Party Committee Office. His sister was my middle school classmate and is now my subordinate, so she should be more reliable. You can find out. ”

"Lu Wei? How old is this year? ”

"Seven or eight years younger than us, maybe six or seven."

Lu Yaozu looked at his watch, "Oh...... No, there's an important meeting, let's talk about it...... I'll have to come and talk. He waved his hand at Tao Tang and signaled that he could go.

"I have something to ask you for ...... too"

"In a hurry?" Lu Yaozu opened the cabinet and chose clothes.

"It's not a hurry......

"Then let's make another appointment." (To be continued......)
