With the help of unmanned agricultural machinery, Li Dong's workload has been greatly reduced, and he has more time to deal with things other than space. Recently, Li's father's career has finally made new progress, and I have to say that Li Dong was also taken aback by his "ambition".

"Dongzi, do the math, how much money can the family come up with at most?" Father Li hesitated for many days, and finally spoke.

"What's going on, Dad, are you ready to do a big job? Don't worry, just your little business, I'll just leak a little bit. Li Dong deliberately pretended to have a "contemptuous" expression.

Father Li casually gave Li Dong a violent shudder, which was a small punishment: "Say it tightly, don't be hippie and smile." ”

"Oh, the money from Carrefour and the farm can't be touched for the time being, and I probably have more than a million on me. What's wrong, Dad? ”

Li Dong also felt that something was wrong, it stands to reason that with his help, the profitability of Li's father's scrap recycling station is still good, and there should be no shortage of development funds.

"Well, it's not enough." Father Li sighed endlessly, and his expression was a little lonely.

"Dad, don't bother, just say it, I'll give you a good reference." Li Dong was a little impatient to wait.

"Well, some time ago, I didn't go around looking at the recycling business in the capital. This investigation found that there is no shortage of such businesses in the capital, and the competitive pressure is also very high. Father Li said with some melancholy.

"Don't, dad, just do it, with your son, are you still afraid that you can't compete with others?" Li Dong thought that Father Li was disheartened, and he was still counting on those scrap copper and rotten iron.

"What nonsense, I didn't say I wouldn't do it." Father Li said angrily that this is his first venture, and it is also the most suitable business for him at present, and he will never give up easily.

"Isn't it good, then what are you sighing about?" Li Dong breathed a sigh of relief and asked with some puzzlement.

"Dad sighed, because he wanted to expand the industrial chain of waste recycling, but he didn't have the strength for the time being."

"Dad, just tell me more about it, maybe I can think of a way?" Li Dong persuaded on the side that if the plan was feasible, he would support it even if he smashed the pot and sold iron.

"Well, forget it, I'll tell you. Half a month ago, your father met a scrap steel smelting boss who owned a small smelter.

Recently, business was not good, and he wanted to change careers. No, after listening to my introduction, I wanted to transfer the factory to me. I went to the factory to take a look, and the machinery and equipment were okay, and it was not a loss. Father Li's words were full of pity.

"yes, how much does he offer?" Li Dong asked curiously, you must know that in Jiangbei, there is no sky-high land fee, all land belongs to the state government, even if you want to copy the land price, there is no resource.

"The whole factory, together with the machines and all the employees, asks for 2.8 million. I've inquired, and it's really not expensive. "Father Li is not a fool, he specially found an expert to go to the appraisal, which is similar to what the factory owner said.

"That's it, then I'll find someone to investigate the situation in the next few days, if it's really worth investing, I'll think about the money again, it's really not good, and the loan is okay."

Li Dong is going to find the fat man to investigate this smelter, after all, the fat man is the head snake of the capital and has a wide range of contacts. If it happens, isn't Fat Man's company also a good big customer, which is called mutual benefit. Perhaps, the fat man will rush to buy shares, so that all the problems are solved.

"Dongzi, don't be reckless, if you have a chance, you can't trap yourself in." Father Li reminded with some worry that he didn't want to affect his eldest son because of his own.

"Don't worry, Dad, I'm not a reckless person, I'll do what I can." Li Dong comforted.

"Well, it's good to know." Father Li felt that he cherished his current life very much, and he didn't want anything bad to happen because of it.

A week later, Li Dong received a reply from the fat man, and Li's father was right, the owner of the smelter was indeed preparing to find another way because of poor management.

The opportunity is rare, plus the space is a bit insufficient, and the area needs to be expanded. Li Dong was ruthless and made up 2.5 million, and the fat man took a look and invested 200,000 shares, accounting for 7.5% of the shares. There is also 100,000 yuan that Li Dong got through a counteroffer, which is better than nothing.

After completing the transfer procedures, Li Dong accompanied Li's father to participate in the ignition ceremony of the factory, and the smelter also had a new name at this time - Datang Smelter. Originally, Li's father was going to add the word "scrap steel", but Li Dong refused, and the new factory he planned in the future was not just a matter of re-smelting.

Datang smelter is located in the economic development zone, because of heavy pollution, it is quite far from the city, more than 40 kilometers, but there is a light rail connection, the traffic is not bad.

The whole factory covers an area of about 800 acres, and the reason why there is such a large area is entirely because it is a veritable wasteland, and the land is not valuable. Li Dong is quite satisfied, at least he doesn't have to worry about the land to expand the factory in the future.

"Boss, little boss, you're here, the workers are ready, just waiting to start."

The person who spoke was Uncle Qi, who was the original deputy director of the factory, and was currently retained by Li's father. In any case, what the smelter needs is a manager with strong professional ability and who is very familiar with the factory, and Uncle Qi is the best choice.

"Are the workers back?" Before Li's father took over, the smelter had been closed for more than three months, and the workers had already taken a holiday, so he handed over everything else to Uncle Qi except for installing an accountant.

"There were originally 25 front-line employees in the factory, but now five people have found another job, and everyone else has arrived. As for the newly vacant positions, I have also recruited new workers, and you can rest assured that I personally check them and they are all familiar hands. ”

Uncle Qi said that he was ready to retire directly, but he couldn't rest assured that this group of old colleagues was relieved, so he re-emerged from the mountain at the invitation of Li's father.

"Well, Uncle Qi, you handled it well. By the way, how is the current output in the factory, can it meet Mr. Wang's batch of orders? Li Dong interjected, this order is still forced by him, anyway, they are all ordinary steel products, and the requirements are not so strict.

"No problem, we have two electric furnaces in our factory, which can produce 100,000 tons of steel a year. Moreover, the factory just introduced ten small machine tools last year, and this batch of orders is at best half a month's output for us. ”

Uncle Qi said proudly, speaking of which, the previous boss was unlucky, he had just changed to a new machine tool, but he encountered a market recession. In fact, as long as he persists for a few more years, he will definitely be able to make money, he has been in this industry for most of his life, he has never seen any storms, steel is the foundation of industry, and it will not fall behind at any time.

"Then I'll rest assured, as long as this batch of orders is completed well, I think there will definitely be an endless stream of orders from Mr. Wang's side in the future." Li Dong encouraged.

Fat Man's company is not small, the annual steel consumption is more than 100,000 tons, of which nearly six CD are ordinary steel. As long as the fat man's order is won, then half of the smelter's production capacity will have a way out, plus some other small orders, there is absolutely no problem for the factory to survive.

"You can rest assured, the factory is full of old workers, and there is nothing to say about the technical level." Uncle Qi assured that many of these workers were from the church he was working with, and he was very relieved.

"Then it's hard Uncle Qi, my father and I are both laymen, and the factory will rely on you in the future." Li Dong comforted Uncle Qi a little.

"Yes, Lao Qi, if the factory is running well, everyone will have dividends at the end of the year." This trick was learned by Li's father after his wife, Guan was last year, and Li You, who was in charge of the farm, received more than 18,000 yuan, which was the first year.

"Boss, what do you want me to say, don't worry, everyone is unemployed once, even if there is no dividend, I think everyone will risk their lives to do it." Uncle Qi also knows that the unemployment rate is high these days, even if he wants to keep everyone's jobs, he will do his best.

"Don't, you'd better be safe." Father Li specially reminded him that he didn't want to lose a big one because of a small one.

"I'll pay attention, and we've done enough to protect it, so you can put 10,000 hearts." Even if Father Li didn't say it, Uncle Qi wouldn't joke with the workers' bodies.

Subsequently, under the auspices of Li's father, the smelter re-ignited the electric furnace, and the factory officially started. The workers were thunderous, and those who had not experienced unemployment could not understand the excitement and emotion of this lost and regained.

Li Dong stayed in the factory for half a day and then went back, while Li's father stayed, after all, he was the factory director and needed to be in command. Moreover, the factory is newly opened, and there are a lot of miscellaneous things, which need him to make decisions personally, and he may have to wait until the factory is on the right track before he can be idle.
