Building a strong engineering team is a very important link, including construction projects, road and bridge projects, waterway projects and so on. The ultimate goal is to build a comprehensive construction engineering enterprise.

This idea was already in Li Lu's planning, otherwise he would not have pulled up the engineering team when the construction of the Red Star Factory began. At the beginning, there were only about a dozen people Li Quanbin led the rural construction team, after more than a year of explosive development, after the completion of the recruitment of 300 people after the Spring Festival, has approached 1,000 people, and the construction machinery and equipment owned by them are all the best and most advanced in China, and also exceeded 200 units.

This is already larger than the scale of many municipal construction companies, and even larger than the scale of many provincial construction companies.

The engineering team has been hanging under the Red Star Factory without a change in subordination, and what Li Lu is waiting for is an opportunity, an opportunity to have a large number of engineering construction tasks. The two construction sites in Shanghai were not yet in his eyes, so they were put on hold.

With the continuous implementation of the Abrams plant project, the relocation of the Goxing plant, the expansion of the production area of the Red Defense Company and the Red Star plant, and the passenger aircraft project plant in cooperation with MBB, these large projects entered the implementation stage, and the opportunity that the engineering team was waiting for appeared.

Li Lu rarely contacted Secretary Zhou.

For a long time, it was always Secretary Zhou who looked for him, and he rarely took the initiative to contact Secretary Zhou. Every time Secretary Zhou comes to him, it must mean that there is something in the region or city that needs his support, which is nothing more than the development of industrial enterprises, or some investment projects.

This time, Li Lu took the initiative to contact Secretary Zhou, but instead of needing his help with anything, he gave a formal response to an idea he had put forward a long time ago.

Li Lu met Secretary Zhou at the Commissioner's Office, and it was the first time he had come to this courtyard-style complex in the thirties and forties. Although the buildings are gray and old, and many of the red slogans printed on the walls are mottled, the thick old trees and the magnificent layout show that this place has been a place of power since history.

Thousands of kilometers to the east, more than 500 kilometers to the north and south, and more than 500,000 square kilometers, all administrative orders were issued from this courtyard, which was becoming more and more inconspicuous but still concealed its grandeur.

In a bungalow office with mottled walls, Li Lu saw Secretary Zhou, and even the desk was a little broken, and it was hard to imagine that this was the office of the secretary of the deputy head of the Dadi District Government.

"Secretary Zhou, you guys are too hard here." Li Lu, who hated the luxury office building of the company, walked in all the way, and the impression he gained made him feel that the conditions were difficult, "You are not as good as the cities and counties below." ”

"We are a provincial government agency, and our finances are very tight." Secretary Zhou was already used to it, so he asked Li Lu to sit down, and said with a smile while walking over the somewhat crooked cupboard to pour water, "Besides, the economy of the inland port area can be said to have just taken a small step, and the vast number of rural people have not been able to solve the problem of food and clothing." The leader said, if you can use it, you can use it as much as possible, repair the bad ones well, and find a way to repair and use those that are not good, and use every penny to the blade. ”

Li Lu was in awe, "The leader is very good. ”

"It's the first time you've come to me, let's talk about it, there must be something big, otherwise your master won't move to me." Secretary Zhou smiled and sat down.

Li Lu waved his hand and said, "Don't say that, you are in this place, whether you can come or not." It's not a big deal, it's actually a small thing. ”

"What a trifle? Then you just have to give us a call. Secretary Zhou said, let yourself do it easily. He was very busy, but Li Lu came over, and he had to find time to come out when he was busy, so he simply relaxed and took the opportunity to be lazy.

Li Lu smiled and said, "Secretary Zhou, you said before that you hope that I can invest in the first construction company of the city, carry out enterprise reform, and invigorate this enterprise." ”

"Yes, how's it going, have you thought about it?" Secretary Zhou suddenly came to his senses, "The province has given tasks to various regions and cities to explore the experience in this area. What the provincial capital took out was the city's second transportation company, which is already in the implementation stage. In our inland port area, if you meet the conditions, jump around, and it is more suitable for the city to build a company. This enterprise has good resources, but it does not always generate much profit. Leaders are anxious in their eyes and in their hearts. Red Star Defense is a good example to learn, you have experience in this area, so I want you to do it. ”

Li Lu said bluntly, "Secretary Zhou, I mean, sell it to me, you can, let me invest in shares, I am not interested." ”

"Why?" Secretary Zhou asked subconsciously.

He knows the shareholding structure of the Red Star Defense Company, with three parties holding shares, and the controlling stake is in the hands of the New Guangming Factory, that is, in the hands of the government. He didn't know that the New Light Factory had transferred his shares in the Red Star Defense Company to the Red Star Factory.

After spreading his hands, Li Lu said, "Because I will at least have more opportunities to pay taxes in this way, if I invest in shares, not only will the government not increase taxes, but I will also lose so much that I even have to pay for my underwear." Secretary Zhou, the first construction company in the city is a construction company, and the Red Star Defense Company is a military enterprise, this is different. ”

Secretary Zhou wanted to say something, but he quickly understood Li Lu's concerns.

"The government meant to restructure the system, and it didn't consider selling it." Secretary Zhou hesitated and said,

Li Lu said with a smile, "Secretary Zhou, there is an engineering team under the Red Star Factory, you know this matter, at that time, it was the first and second workshops of the Red Star Factory set up by the first construction company of the city and the own engineering team of the Red Star Factory, as well as the Red Star Wharf. A few years ago, I had a conversation with the leaders of Shanghai and Pujiang District, and they were willing to help me register a construction company with first-class qualifications, and in principle, they also agreed to merge one or two smaller construction companies with me to build a competitive and modern construction company. ”

He paused, "At that time, I was thinking that if I wanted to do this, why didn't I go back to the dry port?" The dry port is my hometown, and I am very willing to provide some help for the economic construction of my hometown. Now I have so many big engineering projects here, all of which are my own, so I want to expand the engineering team and do it myself. So I thought of the matter of the city construction company you mentioned. I'm here today, and that's the case. ”

Secretary Zhou secretly gasped, Li Lu is not a braggart person, since the conditions of Shanghai Pujiang are so generous, then as a second-tier city, no matter how hypocritical the Lugang area is, it will be chilling. The leaders all said that many businessmen from other places said that the atmosphere of the reform and opening of the inland port was comparable to that of Shenzhen, and this was a high praise.

In this case, it seems immature to insist on a controlling stake or something. In addition, there are five construction companies in Lugang City alone.

What's wrong with selling one?

Secretary Zhou said, "I will ask the leader. ”

Li Lu did not hesitate, "Then I'll go back and wait for your news." ”
