Li Zhendong's request is very ordinary, seeing the director of the cigarette factory, he is not just going to the relationship, and wants to approve the purchase of cigarettes! Director Du and Director Liao really thought so in their hearts, and whoever heard this request also thought so. What else can the director of the cigarette factory have besides cigarettes?

Speaking of Xishi Tobacco Factory, which is well-known in China, Hongshan brand cigarettes were rated as national high-quality products last year. The two leaders are both natives of Yun Province, and they are both people with certain positions, and they are still very well-informed.

Part of the cigarettes used by Director Du for the work of the municipal government are the cigarettes transferred from the Xishi Tobacco Factory. Because of the connection at work and the management of logistics, Director Du has dealt with the Xishi Tobacco Factory and has also met with Director Chu, all of which are for work reasons, and there is no interaction in private. However, in the position of Director Du, there is no shortage of contacts. There are people he knows in the Xi City Government, and he quickly recalls his acquaintances in Xi City, and the first thing that comes to mind is the old classmate of the deputy director of the Xi City Government Office. It is related to the work of the Xishi Tobacco Factory of Director Chu. Director Liao naturally has the way of the Xi City Supply and Marketing Cooperative, but without mentioning the way of Xi City, Director Liao directly in the name of the Mingkun City Supply and Marketing Cooperative, it is not a problem to go to the door.

As for the establishment of the China Tobacco Corporation last year, which was monopolized by the state, neither of them mentioned it.

Li Zhendong was very clear about the thoughts of Director Du and Director Liao, but Li Zhendong did not explain. In fact, Li Zhendong's real thoughts in his heart were just to see the old man Chu of the Xi City Tobacco Factory. Director Du and Director Liao would never have imagined that more than ten years later, this small cigarette factory in Xi City. It will grow into a big company like a giant company. The income generated by the Xishi Tobacco Factory accounted for almost half of the annual fiscal revenue of Yunnan Province at that time.

From the mid-to-late 80s to the entire 90s, this period can be called the 'Red Mountain Era' in the history of Chinese cigarettes in China. This period of time. Xishi Tobacco Factory has developed from a small factory to the first domestic tobacco brand, from an annual sales volume of only 1,000 boxes to an annual profit and tax of tens of billions of yuan, and is the largest and most famous tobacco enterprise in China.

And the one who did all this was Director Chu. Director Chu took office as the director of the Xishi Tobacco Factory at the end of 79 years, and in the past 18 years, he has built the small cigarette factory into the largest tobacco factory in Asia, creating profits and taxes of nearly 100 billion yuan for the country. He is one of the most controversial financial figures since the founding of the People's Republic of China.

Of course, Li Zhendong will not say it directly. I just want to see this amazing old man. Playing the brand of asking for cigarettes is the best excuse, and Li Zhendong doesn't care if he can get cigarettes or not. You're not asking for cigarettes. If you say that you are going to see people, what will others think? What's so nice about a man in his fifties?

"Then when does Mr. Li have time to go to Xishi?" Without waiting for Director Liao to reply, Director Du spoke, this favor needs to be helped. It's not that complicated. Just say hello to the city of Creek. Moreover, Director Du also made up his mind in his heart, he must ask the old classmates in Xishi to make some efforts and try to get as many cigarettes as possible for this Mr. Li. Director Du even thought about it, just as he owed his old classmates a favor. Director Du's mind is very simple, on the one hand, he is to befriend this young rich man and bring the relationship between them closer. On the other hand, there is the shadow of that one behind this Mr. Li.

Seeing that Director Du was so enthusiastic. Director Liao knows the reason for this. After listening to Director Du's words, he also smiled, "Mr. Li, I am about to go to Xi City to contact the business, as long as Director Du is well connected, you can take the car of the supply and marketing cooperatives to Xi City to have a look." These two people cooperate well, Director Du's contact, Director Liao's contact, and Director Liao's excuse to go to Xi City to contact business, not only taking care of Director Du's face, but also sending his favor. Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental? As soon as Li Zhendong said that he would go to the Xishi Tobacco Factory, the supply and marketing cooperatives would have business contacts with Xishi.

Xi City is very close to Mingkun City, that is, a distance of more than 100 kilometers. The surrounding area of Mingkun City belongs to the center of Yun Province, and the highway transportation construction is better than that in the west and north. If you happen to be lucky, you can go back and forth in just half a day. Li Zhendong's motorcade had just been sent out in the morning, and the current affairs in Mingkun City were not as busy as in the previous period, and there was no major problem in taking out a day and a half of time. "It's okay on my side, Director Du. Director Liao will arrange it."

When talking about this, the atmosphere between several people was very harmonious, and Li Zhendong also took the initiative to ask Director Liao whether he was going to ask for Chinese currency or Hong Kong dollars, or US dollars. Director Liao chose the dollar balance, and with foreign exchange, it is easy to report the work upward.

Director Du and Director Liao's actions were very fast, and they gave news the next day. Director Du is the logistics steward of the government, and he is indispensable for handling affairs. Director Liao's work is very convenient, and the reason for going to Xi City to see, the relationship between Director Du, and Director Liao's car is used. Li Zhendong took Da Gang alone on this trip,

With the care of Director Du's old classmates, the group arrived at the Xishi Tobacco Factory and soon met Director Chu. Director Chu, who was busy arranging the processing work, deliberately took the time to meet with everyone in the factory conference room. Director Kang is Director Du's old classmate, and Director Chu is an acquaintance, and Director Liao has also met a few times, so he shook hands and chatted a few words of gossip when they met. Li Zhendong just stood and observed.

This is the director of Chu? He looks a little younger than his actual age in his fifties, has a broad face, has deep forehead lines on his forehead, a few crow's feet at the corners of his eyes, and his eyes are half-open, and his eyes are sharp and wise when he opens and closes. I can't see it, this one, who was branded as a rightist when he was young, and served as the director of the Xishi Tobacco Factory after being rehabilitated, is already in his fifties at this time, and can still create a brilliant life. The most commendable thing is that after 18 years of scenery, the seventies suffered the most serious blow, and the average person has long been slumped and disappeared, but this old man surprised everyone, and he started a business in his seventies and became a billionaire again. How strong does this spirit have to be to do it.

In later generations, Li Zhendong, as the top master of the skill stream, stood at the highest peak in his profession and had supreme self-confidence, but what happened to the old man, Li Zhendong asked himself, he shouldn't be able to do it. If it were me, I would probably be living in seclusion in the mountains and forests, right?

Seeing the real person this time, Li Zhendong felt that it was worth the trip.

Xu is Li Zhendong's gaze is too direct, and Director Chu saw this unusual young man, which child is this? Did you come with Director Kang or Director Liao? Seeing this, Director Kang laughed, "Director Chu, come, come, let me introduce you, this is a big businessman from Lingnan Deep District, Mr. Li"

Big merchants? Mr. Lee? Director Chu's surprise was on his face. The next thing was beyond Li Zhendong's expectations, it was originally just to look at people and get to know them. Who knew that Director Chu was very interested in the people from Lingnan, and he also inquired about the news of Lingnan with Li Zhendong. Director Kang didn't know how to talk about it, Director Chu was very happy and asked how much?

Really give? Li Zhendong is very humorous, "a few pieces are not too little, and thousands are not too much." The tone of these words was a little louder, and Director Chu looked at Li Zhendong for a while, "Young man, are you not joking?" ”

"No kidding"

came to see people, and in the end it became a discussion of cooperation in selling cigarettes. At this time, the Xishi Tobacco Factory was still in its infancy, and the country's tobacco monopoly law had not yet been standardized, and besides, the rules were also for people. (To be continued......)
