Zhou Shouchang did not explain much, only said that Guangming Powder Industry is a large state-owned enterprise in Suxu City, and the Licheng District Government in order to promote better cooperation between the two, so it is recommended that the two sides contact to see if they can reach a strategic cooperative relationship in terms of grain purchase prices. Cheng Liping laughed when he heard this, Su Xu and Li Cheng are both major grain producing areas, but Su Xu is obviously dominated by heavy industry and service industries, and the proportion of agriculture is very small, and the flour group is only a medium-sized listed company in the distance, while the bright flour industry is supported by policies, and they are not equal to each other at all, so what is there to talk about.

However, in business, the government asked the two sides to get in touch, and Zhou Shouchang had no choice but to act according to the order, anyway, he could talk about it, and if he couldn't talk about it, he would wave his hand and say goodbye directly, and he would not offend people. Cheng Liping went upstairs and said to Liu Weiguo, Liu Weiguo said with a smile: "This is to borrow a shell from afar, wait and see, the other party must want to occupy shares, not to talk about food prices or anything like that." ”

Cheng Liping nodded and said, "I also thought of it, let's go to Suxu tomorrow, Lao Zhou's heart is a little empty." ”

Liu Weiguo responded, and Tian Zicheng next to him said with a smile: "That's okay, I'll go too." I've been here for two years, and I haven't been around yet. ”

The expressions of my father and mother are obviously a little unhappy, this is the twenty-eighth month of the month, and it will be the Chinese New Year's Eve in two days, how can I still toss outside. However, the son is the chairman of the Yuanyuan Flour Group, and he is doing the right thing, and the second elder can't say anything if he is unhappy. Tian Zicheng was very careful, shook her mother's arm with a smile, and said, "Don't worry, Auntie, we will definitely come back tomorrow night." ”

There was no word that night. Early the next morning, the three of them had breakfast and prepared to take the bus to Suxu. At the door of Old Man Guo's bun shop, the turkey and a few little brothers were shouting and doing publicity, diligent and hardworking. Cheng Liping just wanted to praise him, but he jumped out of the shop and said with a smile: "Brother Cheng, Brother Liu, sister-in-law." ”

Cheng Liping saw that it was He Yong, a kid. He stuffed buns in his mouth, and his mouth was full of oil. Cheng Liping smiled helplessly: "You guy, are you a starving ghost reincarnated?" When did you come over, why didn't you make a call? ”

He Yong swallowed the bun three times and said, "I just came here in the morning." I lost my phone, I didn't have a card over there, and I couldn't get a number. ”

Cheng Liping nodded and said, "Okay, let's go to Suxu together." ”

He Yong looked at the three of them and said, "Wait a minute, I'll go drive." Without waiting for Liu Weiguo to speak, He Yong ran away. Two minutes later, a white Great Wall sedan pulled up next to the three and honked its horn. Cheng Liping smiled bitterly: "It turned out to be my car, and I kept it on the side of the decoration company, and I forgot it." ”

got into the car, He Yong drove all the way to Suli Expressway. The snow on the road had melted, but it was too early and there was still some thin ice accumulating. Fortunately, there were not many vehicles on the road, and two hours later, the four of them finally arrived in the center of Suxu.

Zhou Shouchang has already informed them of the location of the negotiation, which is a five-star hotel. He Yong drove the car to the parking lot, and before he could speak, the security guard in the parking lot actually waved his hand, indicating that there was no vacant space inside. He Yong was anxious, pointed to the empty parking lot and said: "There are only a few cars parked, why are there no vacant spaces, who are you fooling, it's not that you don't give money!" ”

The security guard said, "Sir, those parking spaces are reserved. ”

He Yong said: "What is the reservation, you are a hotel, and the parking space is also sold out on a monthly basis?" ”

The security guard said: "Someone came to the meeting today, and the parking space has been reserved, I'm very sorry, please find another place to park." ”

He Yong was sullen in his heart, but he had no choice but to reverse the car out and find another paid parking lot. I parked the car and walked back, but the parking lot was still empty. Zhou Shouchang, with a secretary and a vice president of the company, was standing at the door of the hotel and looking around. Seeing Cheng Liping coming, Zhou Shouchang's face was overjoyed, and then he stepped forward quickly and said, "Mr. Cheng, I haven't seen you for a long time, who are these people?" ”

Cheng Liping said, Zhou Shouchang only then knew that Liu Weiguo and Brother Liu who were rumored on Licheng Road turned out to be the thin middle-aged man next to him. A few people walked into the hotel and sat down in the hall, Zhou Shouchang said: "It's just nonsense, they ask us to keep the price of wheat down to nine cents, and corn to be maintained at a whole, is this not a significant pit for the people?" ”

Cheng Liping frowned and said, "Downpressing? ”

Zhou Shouchang said: "Yes." We are buying local grain, and they are buying grain from other places, and the cost has increased a lot, not to mention for the time being, but I really can't understand that we have to turn around and push down the grain prices of local farmers. ”

He Yong pursed his lips and said, "Mr. Zhou, what is there to understand this, they are receiving government subsidies, the more they toss like this, the better it is to make money from it." ”

Zhou Shouchang said: "What should the people do? The price of seeds has risen, the price of pesticides and fertilizers has risen, the price of labor has also risen, the houses outside have risen even more fiercely, and the price of grain has fallen. ”

Liu Weiguo and Cheng Liping glanced at each other, but neither of them spoke. Tian Zicheng bit his lip, and there was no interface. Only He Yong, an angry young man, slapped the table and shouted, "Fuck, it's really unreasonable." It's all like this, and who else is going to farm. If there is no one to farm, how can there be food to eat in the future? ”

Zhou Shouchang sighed and said: "The efficiency of the flour group is not good this year, and I originally planned to hold a board meeting to increase the purchase price of grain a little." But as soon as they do this, we will be passive, and when the time comes, they will pull grain over and sell it, who can afford it? ”

Cheng Liping smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll figure it out when I go back." What else is there to talk about? ”

Zhou Shouchang said: "By the way, there is another thing, they want to take 50 million in cash, accounting for 20% of our shares." ”

Cheng Liping was stunned for an instant, and Liu Weiguo and Tian Zicheng also showed incredible looks on their faces. Only He Yong didn't understand what it meant, and sat there staring dryly. Cheng Liping said with a smile: "They are crazy, right?" The stock price is falling, but the plate is now worth five or six billion, and taking 50 million accounts for 20 percent of the shares, really treating others as fools. ”

Zhou Shouchang said: "I said the same too. However, their attitude is relatively tough, saying that after they take shares, it will be better for our future development, so they resolutely do not give in. ”

Cheng Liping smiled: "That's better, let's not talk about it, let's go around casually today." ”

Zhou Shouchang looked confused, this is a business negotiation, and the government is behind it, how can you say that you don't talk about it if you don't talk about it. But looking at Cheng Liping's expression, it didn't seem to be joking. Because Liu Weiguo and He Yong had already stood up, turned their heads and walked outside. Cheng Liping pulled Tian Zicheng to stand up, turned back to Zhou Shouchang and said: "Mr. Zhou, their uncle is used to it, and he no longer understands what equality is. It is useless to negotiate such negotiations for another ten days and a half months. Let's go, go shopping with us. ”

The secretary and the vice president looked at each other, they rarely saw the chairman, I really didn't expect this young man to be so unreliable. However, people have a lot of shares and money in their hands, this is the truth. Although the two were dissatisfied, they didn't dare to say anything more in front of Zhou Shouchang. Cheng Liping and others really went shopping, and Zhou Shouchang was still waiting here, whether to talk about it or not, but at least to sit down face-to-face and say something, showing his politeness and respect.

Out of the hotel gate, several Mercedes Benz cars slipped over and went straight into the parking lot. The security guards raised their hands in salute, in awe of the group. Cheng Liping glanced at it and saw five or six middle-aged men in suits and leather shoes getting out of the car, all with an invincible look. The leader was pot-bellied, and seemed to be a leader, accompanied by everyone, walked to the hotel lobby, and said as he walked: "They don't know each other, so they drove out of Suxu's market, a small company, what about going public, and dare to go against the government?" ”

The next few people laughed and said, "Zhang Ju, then I will leave it to you." ”

Cheng Liping frowned, let him aside, and waited for these people to enter the hall before walking to the parking lot and asking the security guard: "Are they from Bright Flour?" ”

The security guard nodded and said, "Well, they chartered the parking lot." ”

He Yong was taken aback and said, "Just a few cars, covering the entire parking lot?" ”

The security guard gave He Yong a blank look, and seemed to be disdainful of his fuss. Cheng Liping said again: "The one in front of you, what is the director of the bureau?" ”

The security guard said impatiently: "Walking with the people of Bright Flour Industry, what kind of bureau can it be, of course it is the Food Bureau." Okay, I'm at work, please don't get in the way of my work. ”

Cheng Liping thanked him, turned around and entered the hotel lobby again. The other party called a director over, although I don't know whether it is the director of the grain bureau of Suxu City or the director of the district below, but he is a national cadre. Zhou Shouchang deals with this kind of person, and it is not a good thing to be three points weaker in momentum. Sure enough, Zhou Shouchang over there had already greeted him with a smiling face, listening to his tone, this person was a deputy director, belonging to the Suxu City Food Bureau, and the level was at the deputy department level.

After the greetings, Zhou Shouchang saw Cheng Liping going and returning, and introduced everyone with a smile: "This is the chairman of our group, surnamed Cheng." Mr. Cheng, this is Director Zhang, this is Gao Dazhong, Secretary of the Board of Directors of Bright Flour, this is Huang An'an, General Manager of the Marketing Department, Tian Boli, General Manager of the Marketing Department, and this is ......"

Cheng Liping wanted to laugh a little, Bright Powder Industry took itself too seriously, his chairman was here, and they actually let a secretary lead the team? Looking at their situation, the deputy director of the Food Bureau is probably also a marginal figure, with no real power at hand, and he is only used to scare and scare outsiders.

Cheng Liping did a great job, didn't even ask a good question, and said neatly: "It is not easy for farmers, and grain prices cannot be reduced, which is the consensus of our distant flour group." In the stock market, we have plenty of funds, and we don't need foreign funds to enter the market for the time being, so thank you for your kindness, this negotiation is here, we should go shopping. ”
