With the deepening of the reform of the whole group and the initial improvement of the economic situation, China Pingchuan Textile Machinery Group finally bid farewell to the row of broken carports a month ago and had its own decent group headquarters; Secretaries and CEOs also have their own offices. Zhang Datong's office is the largest, a suite with a conference room.

On the fourth day of the groundbreaking ceremony of the ring road, Zhang Datong suddenly notified the leaders of the group to hold a meeting in his office, saying that he wanted to implement the demolition of the two factories on the South Ring Road, and then temporarily study several other things. When the CEOs and secretaries of the group arrived one after another, the 29-inch TV in Zhang Datong's small conference room was constantly broadcasting the donations of Pingchuan citizens.

The scene was warm and vivid. In front of the central fundraising station located at the intersection of Zhongshan Road, the cadres and masses waiting for donations lined up in a long line. TV and radio reporters held microphones and followed the crowd in line to conduct on-site interviews, and citizens who wanted to donate money talked about their views.

The views of the citizens are relatively unanimous, and they all say that this road should have been repaired a long time ago, and what the municipal party committee and the city ** think is exactly what the people think. A taxi driver said, let alone donate dozens of yuan, even donating a few hundred yuan is nothing, the road is repaired, there is no traffic jam, and you can earn a few hundred yuan more in two days. A primary school student donated 50 yuan, holding a big red donation certificate and saying that the money was given by his parents during the Chinese New Year, and it was over after buying snacks and eating them, and it was the most meaningful to donate them to build roads. A middle-aged woman said with tears in her eyes, this road should have been repaired a long time ago, if the road had been repaired earlier, my son might not have died, my son died on the way to the hospital after being injured, and the ambulance was blocked on the road and could not drive. Therefore, today I pledged 500 yuan to support our practical work.

Later, a close-up of Bai Zhilin, chairman of the private Asia-Pacific Group Company, appeared on the screen with a smile on his face. I don't know if it was arranged in advance by the TV station, or Bai Zhilin was taking the opportunity to advertise again, the chairman donated not cash, but a check sample that was magnified more than ten times, and it was written on the sample: All employees of Asia-Pacific Group donated 200,000 yuan. 200,000 yuan is not Chinese, but Arabic numerals, and the series of zeros after 2 looks very imposing.

Facing the lens of the camera, Bai Zhilin, who was wearing glasses, spoke eloquently, claiming that as a well-known private enterprise benefiting from the party's reform and opening up policy, Asia-Pacific Group has an unshirkable moral responsibility to the society, and has an unshirkable obligation to the infrastructure construction of Pingchuan. Although the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Party Committee clearly stipulate that no collective donations will be made to enterprises and institutions, Asia-Pacific Group still voluntarily donated 200,000 yuan for the construction of a large roundabout sculpture on Huancheng Road. He also announced that this is just the beginning, and the Asia-Pacific Group will further rely on the party and the party to make greater contributions to the economic take-off of Binh Sichuan in the future construction of Binh Tranc.

Deputy General Manager Shu Wanhong couldn't help but talk about the TV picture and said: "This Bai Zhilin is really a big slippery head, he donated 200,000 yuan to buy a permanent advertisement for a large roundabout, not to mention, and he also got a good reputation for supporting the construction of the ring road and being enthusiastic about public undertakings, which is really amazing." ”

Leng Haisheng, deputy secretary of the group, said: "I'm afraid it's more than that, right? Didn't you listen to what this Bai president said, he has to further rely on the party and ** to contribute to the economic take-off of Pingchuan. I guess that he made this gesture, not only to make a permanent advertisement, but also to have an article behind it, maybe he will look at which piece of fat again. ”

Shu Wanhong said: "Isn't it the land of the No. 1 Machinery Factory? This Mr. Bai has been staring at it for a long time. First pestered Miss Hua of Taiwan's Fahrenheit Group, and now look at Hua's investment intention contract can not be fulfilled, the city may give this piece of land to our textile machinery group, this kid wants to intervene here again. If you don't believe it, ask Mr. Zhang, is there such a thing? ”

Zhang Datong was sitting on the couch opposite the door, smoking a cigarette and thinking about his thoughts, he smiled reluctantly and did not answer.

Shu Wanhong said with disdain: "This Mr. Bai doesn't want to think about it, you are a private enterprise, in the final analysis, you are a large-scale self-employed person, and you have such a big appetite, is it realistic?" No matter how much we reform, our country will still be dominated by public ownership. ”

Zhang Datong then snuffed out his cigarette butt and spoke: "Lao Shu, public ownership is the main body, and it does not exclude the common development of various economic forms. Especially in economically underdeveloped regions like ours, the common development of various economic forms is even more important. A few days ago, Secretary Wu and Mayor Shu also talked to me, asking us to use our brains more to grasp the overall idea, on the one hand, unswervingly take the road of strong alliance and large-scale operation; On the other hand, it is also necessary to bring in the successful experiences of township and town enterprises and private enterprises and activate the internal mechanisms of large state-owned enterprises like ours. Secretary Wu specifically mentioned Bai Zhilin from the Asia-Pacific region, saying that this person has some methods. ”

Leng Haisheng said: "No matter how much he has a way, no matter how much money he makes, it is also his own, not our father-in-law's." ”

Zhang Datong said: "You can't look at the problem like this. The money he earns is good, but how much can he use as a natural person? Isn't the vast majority of it still used for the economic construction of Pyeongcheon? What's so bad about that? Yesterday, he ran to my house with a female public relations officer, asking me to get the land of the No. 1 Machinery Factory alive and dead, and clearly stated that he wanted to participate in the construction of the building. I didn't say yes to him at the time. Now that I think about it, I have an idea. Aren't we going to carry out a pilot project of shareholding reform soon? You see, can you accept them to take a stake in the Asia-Pacific region? Bai Zhilin said that his Asia-Pacific can come up with 10 million, and with his 10 million, won't the demolition costs of the two factories on the south line of our ring road be partially solved? ! Today, we're going to start with this short meeting. ”

As he was talking, another deputy secretary and a deputy general manager also arrived, Zhang Datong immediately asked the secretary to turn off the TV and announce the meeting, and said at the beginning: "Let me report the situation first: We put forward the conditions for self-digestion of the burden of demolition and relocation of the two factories on the premise of merging the first factory of Pingchuan Machinery, and the city has not yet given a final reply. The main reason for this is probably that Zheng Jieming of the Far East of the American SAT Company has intervened again. Zheng Jieming learned from Qiu Tongzhi of the No. 1 Machinery Factory that Taiwan's Fahrenheit could not fulfill the contract of intent, and took out the revised plan, and was ready to pay another 5 million yuan to the city to make up the difference in land price and obtain the right to use this golden treasure land for 50 years. What do we do in this case? Are the two factories in the South Ring Road still being demolished as originally planned? After the demolition, the city gave the land to the American company SAT, and we were passive. If it is not demolished, Mayor Cao will not agree. This morning, Mayor Cao and Secretary-General Jin called me several times in a row, and the words were already very ugly. ”

The boss and the secretary did not speak.

Zhang Datong also said: "From the point of view of taking into account the overall situation, I think there is no reason why we should not demolish it, even if it is difficult, we have to demolish it." However, from the perspective of protecting state-owned assets from the loss of foreign capital, I am not in favor of demolishing them first. I would like to take this opportunity to put some pressure on the city to win this golden treasure and turn this planned international building into our future group headquarters building. For this reason, I would rather cooperate with private Asia-Pacific companies than with foreign investors. I hope this edifice doesn't smell like a dollar. ”

Shu Wanhong reminded: "Mr. Zhang, you can't say this in front of the city leaders, this is not in line with the general climate of our active introduction of foreign capital and opening up to the outside world." ”

Leng Haisheng also said: "In my opinion, it is not bad to be able to cooperate with SAT in the United States, but it is better than cooperating with Bai Zhilin in the Asia-Pacific region." ”

Zhang Datong was unhappy: "Comrades, why do you have such a big prejudice against private enterprises? No matter how we say that the Asia-Pacific region is also our national capital, can we still let foreign capital occupy it if we have a cheap advantage and do not let our national capital occupy it? Which country in the world is not protecting its national capital? Don't be confused at this point! ”

The bosses and secretaries were silent again.

Zhang Datong sighed and said: "Of course, up to now, we haven't gotten the land yet, and I haven't thought about letting Asia-Pacific meddle in the land of the No. 1 Machinery Factory, but I want to ask Asia-Pacific to participate in our group, which is a corporate share, naturally, this also has to be their willing." ”

Shu Wanhong shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that Bai Zhilin won't agree." How shrewd is this man, if he doesn't see fat and doesn't keep his mouth shut, he will throw money into our huge rotten pot? ”

Zhang Datong said: "It is a rotten pot now, and it will not be in the future, and I Zhang Datong is full of confidence in this." In addition, I ask you not to forget: our group is a pilot unit of the province's shareholding system reform, and it is very promising to become a listed company on the Shanghai Stock Exchange or the Shenzhen Stock Exchange in the future. Do you know what it means to be a public company? ”

Most of the secretaries and CEOs created by these long-term planned economies do not know what it means.

Zhang Datong really wants to give you a big lesson about stocks, futures, and the modern economy. However, now is not the time for such a class, and the demolition of the two factories and the land of the first machine factory must be resolved. So, he shook his head and returned to the topic: "This is the situation we are facing, let's see what to do." ”

Leng Haisheng said at this time: "I am in favor of topping first, but it is best not to have a hard top, or soft grinding, anyway, the South Ring Road will not be able to work for a while." ”

Shu Wanhong said: "Soft grinding is better than hard resistance, I think I might as well have a showdown with the city earlier, and ask Secretary Wu Mingxiong to make a clear statement." ”

Another boss said: "The relationship between Secretary Wu and Secretary Chen is not ordinary, and Secretary Chen always wants to attract foreign investment with preferential terms." If Secretary Wu was influenced by Secretary Chen and agreed to give the land to SAT Company, we would not even have this hope. ”

Just as he was saying this, Bai Zhilin of the Asia-Pacific Group called over and said to Zhang Datong: "Mr. Zhang, let me tell you the latest news, an hour ago, the traitor Qiu Tongzhi of the No. 1 Machinery Factory took Zheng Jieming from the SAT to the Quanshan Water Conservancy Project Headquarters to find Chen Zhongyang, and he was 100% to talk about the land. ”

Zhang Datong was stunned and asked urgently: "How do you know?" Didn't you perform at the center's fundraiser to make donations? I saw you on TV just now. ”

Bai Zhilin said: "I just listened to my insider friend at the central collection station, and it is absolutely reliable. Therefore, I suggest that you go to Secretary Wu immediately and have a good talk with Secretary Wu, so as not to be passive in the future. ”

Zhang Datong said: "Where am I going to find Secretary Wu now?" Whether Secretary Wu is on the water conservancy construction site or on the Huancheng Road construction site, who knows? ”

Bai Zhilin said: "I know. Now Secretary Wu and Mayor Shu are both on the road in front of the International Industrial Park, and they are accompanying Director Li of the Provincial Transportation Bureau to see the planned roundabout. ”

Zhang Datong couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Brother Bai, I really convince you, the information is so smart." ”

Bai Zhilin said it on the phone: "Didn't I say it when I advertised on TV? I, a private company, have to rely on the party and the party, and when I am busy, I don't know where the party and the ** are still like words? ! After finishing speaking, he said, "Mr. Zhang, I am loyal to your brother, and don't forget my little brother in the private sector when you get the benefits of a large state-owned group." ”

Zhang Datong said: "Of course, we can't forget your Mr. Bai. Our secretary and CEO are holding a meeting to study the cooperation with your company, not only the cooperation of a building, but also want to cooperate with your brother more comprehensively and sincerely, please participate in the Asia-Pacific Group, how about it? Did your brother have the courage to bring all the guns and artillery of your private guerrillas over to join our national army? ”

Bai Zhilin was noncommittal, and only said: "Mr. Zhang, with a marshal like you as the commander of the national army, is this matter still difficult for us to discuss?!" Now the top priority is to get that piece of golden treasure land in your hands as soon as possible. If Secretary Chen finds Secretary Wu first, and Secretary Wu has a preconceived impression, it will be difficult for you to do your job. ”

Zhang Datong felt that Bai Zhilin was right, so he interrupted the meeting and immediately drove to the international industrial park. Sure enough, I met Wu Mingxiong in the International Industrial Park.

At this time, Wu Mingxiong and Shu Huaru were in the comprehensive building of the start-up area to introduce the situation of the International Industrial Park to Director Li of the Provincial Transportation Bureau. Why don't you dismantle it by hand? What are you waiting for? ”

Zhang Datong said: "Secretary Wu, I was about to report to you......"

Wu Mingxiong said: "Don't report it, I know it." Aren't you just staring at the land in the No. 1 Machinery Factory? I read the report. I'm telling you, this can't be talked about yet. Whether the land can be given to you in the future, Mayor Shu and I dare not say. If you delay the demolition regardless of the overall situation and affect the ring road project, you will bear the consequences! ”

Zhang Datong was very timid in his heart, but he was still arguing: "I heard that the city plans to give the land to Zheng Jieming in the far east of the SAT in the United States?" We are a little anxious, afraid that state-owned assets will be lost. ”

Wu Mingxiong softened his tone a little at this time: "Datong, don't worry about this, our Communist Party's Pingchuan Municipal Party Committee and Pingchuan City Government are not the Manchu Dynasty, and Mayor Shu and I are not the Empress Dowager Cixi and Li Hongzhang, we are very sober-minded and unswervingly carry out reform and opening up, but we will never betray the country." ”

Shu Huaru also said: "The city has not considered transferring the land to Zheng Jieming at a low price, and the reason for the delay lies in Taiwan's Fahrenheit Group." The responsibility for Fahrenheit's failure to invest in the power plant as scheduled lies with the Taiwan authorities, not Fahrenheit. Secretary Wu thought, we can't do things too desperately. Now, we generally envisage this: first, this land is given to you, and you will come forward to cooperate with Fahrenheit to fight for the greatest benefit possible; Second, if you can't get along with Fahrenheit and you have the strength to develop it on your own, you can also do it alone. ”

Zhang Datong was relieved and turned around to leave.

Wu Mingxiong chased Zhang Datong's back and said: "Mr. Zhang, don't wait and see, the start date of the East Ring Road and the South Ring Road should be advanced, and you, the largest state-owned group in the city, should take a good lead." ”

Zhang Datong turned around and waved his hand to Wu Mingxiong and said, "Secretary Wu, don't worry, I will arrange the demolition overnight!" ”

As we drove back to the group headquarters, it was getting dark. In the hazy night, there are still many people who have gotten off work in front of several fundraising stations to donate. The radio at the collection station was turned up to the maximum volume, and the radio station kept broadcasting the names of donors and the amount of donations.

When passing by the Zhongshan Road collection station, Zhang Datong accidentally discovered that his elderly father was also among the people who donated money.

A burst of heat rushed through his heart, Zhang Datong, general manager and secretary of the Party Committee of China Pingchuan Textile Machinery Group, stopped the car, quietly walked to the tail of the donation team, took out all the only 150 yuan in cash in his pocket, handed it to a little girl with a red scarf and said: "Children, uncle has no time to line up, you donated the money for your uncle, okay?" ”

The little girl took the money and asked, "Uncle, what's your name?" How can I register you? ”

Zhang Datong said: "Just like that: a citizen of Pingchuan. ”
