Dad smiled: "That's not it, go back and ask your sister-in-law to bring you a little." ”

My mother also smiled: "Where to bring it, the business is no longer done now." ”

Director Ren looked at the newly renovated house and said with a smile: "Li Ping has grown up and has a good life, it's time for the two of you to enjoy the happiness, and what are you going to the market to sell that miscellaneous grain." ”

"It's uncomfortable to be idle." Dad smiled honestly, "I feel like a wasted person, I was born without a happy life." ”

A few people gossiped at home, and my mother went straight back to the kitchen to cook and stir-fry. Cheng Liping listened to his father and Uncle Ren reminisce about the past, and helped his mother clean up the pots and pans. Not long after, Zhou Jianjun and Zhou Shouchang came over, carrying a huge bag full of hard vegetables bought outside. After some politeness, He Li and Vice President Gu also came, and they didn't bring the dishes, but they brought two boxes of Jian Nanchun's liquor.

"Oh, what are you doing here, you're so polite." Mom and Dad hurriedly stepped forward to greet them and led a few people to sit down in the living room.

"Where, where, as it should be."

Now that the food and drinks have been brought, my mother is no longer busy, cooks the decanting soup in the pot, and returns to the table to eat with everyone. When it comes to cooperation, Director Ren was pleasantly surprised, saying that the distillery has long wanted to form a brother unit with the distant flour group, and it has been inconvenient.

Zhou Shouchang said with a smile: "Ren factory director, don't be in a hurry to respect me first." If you want to respect, you have to respect your nephew first, if there is no Li Ping to come forward, we really have no chance to cooperate. ”

Director Ren didn't know what was going on, so he turned his head and asked Cheng Liping. Cheng Liping was very honest in front of his parents, and said in a few words that he had met Shi Liushu a few times, and they had a little friendship with each other. The expression of the factory director is a little strange, Shiliushu is called the sixth uncle, and he is a very high-status old man on Licheng Road, and it is unlikely that he will talk about business, and it will be done after a big fight. But looking at Cheng Liping's expression, it doesn't look like a lie, and Zhou Shouchang is also a person with status, so he shouldn't really get involved in this kind of fighting.

Hongshan Brewery belongs to the public institution after the restructuring of state-owned enterprises, and the director of the factory is also a national cadre at the administrative level. Although they are at the same level as the secretaries of township and town party committees, the cadres of enterprises are not half a star worse than those of government cadres. Even so, the factory director Ren also cherishes his reputation very much, if Cheng Liping really used violent means to get Shi Liushu's shares, then the factory director Ren does not plan to cooperate with them.

Zhou Jianjun was very shrewd, and when he saw that the expression of the factory director was wrong, he immediately understood his concerns. "Director Ren, don't underestimate your eldest nephew," Zhou Jianjun said with a smile, "He opened his own restaurant, specializing in seafood business, and he is quite famous in our Li City." And there is also a decoration company under him, and the decoration work of Chengjia New Village was contracted by him. ”

Director Ren was surprised, yo, this kid Li Ping is so capable now. "What a restaurant, I have the best seafood."

"Shell Restaurant, small business." Cheng Liping said humbly.

Director Ren was relieved, it turned out that Cheng Liping relied on the real industry to mix, not the underworld. He had also heard of the Shell Hotel, and it did have a good reputation, but everyone said that the boss's surname was Liu, but he didn't expect that there was also a part of Cheng Liping.

"Yes, yes, if the waves push the front waves." Director Ren sighed and said, "Brother Cheng, Mr. Zhou, we are all old." ”

A few old people from the uncles laughed and said that you are the factory director and serve the elders, but we don't accept the old, and we are counting on taking this opportunity to do a career. Director Ren only mentioned it in passing, and when he saw that everyone answered the phone very directly, he simply asked Zhou Shouchang how he planned to cooperate and how to solve the difficulties in front of him.

Zhou Shouchang had already consulted his uncle, and also organized his own ideas, and immediately said that after the two sides signed a cooperation agreement, the distant flour group came forward to buy the corn in the fields of farmers in Licheng and transferred it to Hongshan Brewery. Whether it is using the original equipment to produce beer, or building a new production line to make edible oil, the Hongshan Brewery can get out of the dilemma of stopping work and waiting for production. As for the side of the distant flour group, making money is not the main purpose, but to take this opportunity to convey a message to the outside world, no matter what the stock price is, we are still doing things for the people in a down-to-earth manner.

Director Ren nodded, this cooperation method is indeed very good, the first step is to give profits to Hongshan Brewery, and revitalize the business chain of the distillery. The second step is to revive the reputation of Yuanfang Flour Group, and the stock price will naturally slowly pull up. The third and most important step is to work closely with each other, as long as they survive the current crisis and form a complementary and mutually beneficial relationship in the industrial chain, they will ensure that both sides have better and faster development.

"The background of the distillery is a state-owned enterprise, and the cooperation has to go through the process," said Ren, the director of the factory, "but the government has not given financial support, we have found a way ourselves, and I believe they will not object." ”

Zhou Jianjun said with a smile: "Although Yuanfang Flour Group is a private enterprise, it has also become a banner of Licheng after its listing, although the current situation is the same as that of the winery, but I think that within a year or two, it will definitely be able to regain its strength and create brilliance." ”

For this tone of the older generation, Cheng Liping always felt a little awkward when he heard it. It's the autumn harvest season, and it's close to revitalizing these two companies, and he doesn't want to wait a year or two.

Director Ren smiled and suddenly asked, "Where does the money come from to buy corn?" ”

Seeing that everyone had a hesitant look on their faces, Director Ren added: "To tell you the truth, there is no liquidity in the accounts of the distillery. As you all know, the business of the distillery has been very poor in recent years, and in order to win over the merchants, they have made slips when they pull the wine, and they will not get the money back until the wine is sold. ”

Several CEOs of the Yuanxiang Flour Group glanced at each other, the winery is like this, and the books of the Yuanxiang Flour Group are not like this. It is said that a penny is difficult for a hero, and if he doesn't come to this point in person, he can't believe this sentence anyway. If there is no money, it will not be possible, especially if it is the grain of the peasants, and they cannot bear to write empty checks to the peasants. The expression of the factory director was a little gloomy, it seemed that no matter how good the idea was, it was stuck by the money and was destined to be a dead letter.

"I still have more than three million here," Cheng Liping said in a muffled voice, "Let's use it first." ”

The father and mother were shocked, although they knew that their son had made a lot of money, but it was still terrifying to know that it was millions at every turn. It's no wonder that the second elder has never seen anything in the world, and the largest amount he has saved over the years is a dead deposit of about 200,000 yuan. But the son had already let the words out, and the second elder couldn't say anything more, so he could only glare at Cheng Liping complainingly, and said in his heart You used up this money, what should you do when you marry Tian Zicheng, the girl is so beautiful, and the bride price is hundreds of thousands.

Director Ren's eyes involuntarily showed a hint of appreciation, this child is really a person who has achieved great things.

Zhou Jianjun glanced at Zhou Shouchang and didn't say a word, Zhou Shouchang gritted his teeth and said: "I still have some private savings, and it's useless to put it away, just use it on the blade." ”

Zhou Shouchang said this, He Li and Vice President Gu had nothing else to say, and they both said that they were also willing to take out some personal savings to support the company to tide over the difficulties. In the end, Zhou Jianjun closed and said that the bar can also free up some working capital, and for the time being, it will be turned over to the flour group first, and after you turn your losses into profits, it will not be too late to slowly return it to me.

At the dinner table, the amount of money raised was calculated, and it was only about 20 million. Estimating the amount of shareholdings, Zhou Shouchang accounts for 21%, He Li accounts for 13%, Vice President Gu accounts for 9%, and Cheng Liping accounts for 8%. But with the shares obtained from the sixth uncle, plus today's cash in the accounts, Cheng Liping's share has also come to 21%. In other words, Cheng Liping turned into a major shareholder of Yuanyuan Flour Group, on a par with Zhou Shouchang.

Zhou Shouchang didn't know it, he was shocked, seeing that Cheng Liping had so many shares, he felt a little uncomfortable. But now was the time to work together, and he couldn't show his emotions, so he could only smile and raise his glass with everyone.

After eating, Director Ren stayed at Cheng Liping's house to chat, and Zhou Shouchang, He Li and others left one after another. Zhou Jianjun asked Zhou Shouchang to get into his car, told Xiao Hei to drive back to the bar, and squinted his eyes. Zhou Shouchang didn't know what the uncle was thinking, and he didn't dare to ask rashly, but when he was not in the middle of the season, the uncle suddenly asked: "Shouchang, what was your intention in creating the company in the first place?" ”

Zhou Shouchang was stunned. Yes, after so many years, what was the purpose of creating Yuanyuan Flour Company in the first place?

He only remembered that his father drove a tractor to pay the public grain, and queued up all morning under the scorching sun. Because he was too thirsty, my father went to buy a popsicle and missed the time for the staff to check it. With such a time difference of one or two minutes, the staff reprimanded his father with a blushing face, and ordered him to come back tomorrow and not accept your food today. The aggrieved, angry and disappointed expression on his father's face at that time will never be forgotten by Zhou Shouchang for the rest of his life. Later, the uncle developed, he got the light, and established a distant flour company, but as time passed, his father's expression at that time became weaker and weaker, if it wasn't for the uncle to mention it now, maybe he would never remember it again.

At the beginning, Zhou Shouchang just didn't want farmers like his father to suffer so much anymore, and making money was not the first place. Now that my father has passed away for so many years, my high-spirited uncle has become an old man in his last years, and even his forehead has a lot of wrinkles, but the farmers in Licheng are still living the same life as that year. As long as the distant flour group could not buy their grain, they had to drive a tractor to Linxian County, exchange a full cart of grain for a small stack of banknotes, and then return home full of heartache.

"Don't forget your original intention, Shouchang." Zhou Jianjun said in a gloomy tone.

Zhou Shouchang's heart was sour, and he nodded slowly.
