The sun sets over the bustling streets. The small town of Wushan is densely populated with cars, mostly domestic cars, and a large area of black is mixed with white and red, which is no longer the traffic of tractors and small trucks in the past. Those who return to the town from Jiangcheng and return to Jiangcheng from the new industrial park of the town, the four-lane highway seems to be a little congested, and it gathers at the entrance and exit of the expressway. The busiest are the toll workers, who have several times more work than before.

This would have been unthinkable years ago.

Huang Ligong came out of the Wushan Industrial Museum, that is, the power engine factory. After it was built, he didn't come in again except on the day of the opening ceremony. It's rare to have a little free today, so I drove over and thought about taking a walk inside and thinking about the future of the company. I didn't think that it was not idle here, industrial tourism has been carried out, and primary and secondary schools and institutions in Jiangcheng and surrounding areas are often organized to receive patriotic education for industrial development here. After 20 minutes inside, there were two groups of middle school students, as well as scattered tourists.

He stood at the door, looking at the nearby residential buildings, where old men and women were carrying vegetable baskets, pushing small carts, and some riding bicycles, going in and out of the small intersection. When you meet someone who is familiar with each other, stop and chat on the side of the road, look at each other's vegetable baskets, and see if you have missed the wave of fresh or special vegetables. Fireworks in the world. The scene that I wanted to escape when I was a teenager is now beginning to see the warmth of the past and the comfort of the future in it. He pulled a box of cigarettes out of his trouser pocket, pulled one out, lit it with a lighter, and took a big puff.

Since Zhang Wenfeng left, one day he suddenly found himself smoking. Although he didn't smoke very often, he was soon noticed by Luo Pingzhi, went to the office to talk to him, and casually put a cigarette on the desk. It's been more than three months, and there are still three packs. When he was alone, he would smoke a cigarette, just like when he used to smoke with Zhang Wenfeng, and spit it out when he walked back and forth in his mouth.

How to create an opportunity or find a reason to call Zhang Wenfeng?

The mobile phone rang, and at the same time it vibrated in his pocket, Huang Ligong put the cigarette in his mouth, took out the mobile phone and held it in his hand, and was stunned for a moment.

Zhang Wenfeng.

He answered the phone.

"In Wushan?" It was Zhang Wenfeng's voice on the phone, which was not cold, but he couldn't hear any emotion.

"Yes." Huang Ligong nodded.

"Good. I'll be there in ten minutes. Zhang Wenfeng said.

"Where to meet? We moved to the new industrial park. Huang Ligong hurriedly said, "Why don't you see you at the old power engine factory?" ”

Zhang Wenfeng was silent for a while, said "okay", and hung up the phone.

What's the matter? Zhang Wenfeng came to him at this time. Huang Ligong stood at the gate of the power machine factory and waited, lit the second cigarette, and was a little apprehensive. However, Zhang Wenfeng's tone is at least ordinary, which shouldn't be a bad thing.

On the lawn of the power engine factory, both of them looked up at the water tower, Huang Ligong glanced at Zhang Wenfeng, his face was also normal, and his heart was a little calmer. Under the water tower, thin and thick, covered with ivy, lower than the chimney of the factory, but much larger, like a huge awl-shaped pillar of fire, majestic. The iconic memories of this industrial town, together with the old power engine factory, have disappeared in the dust of history, but the fighting spirit that accompanied the memories of two generations, as hard and solid as a stone, remains on this land and has become the backbone of the town's people.

It was early autumn, the air was still hot, the thorns and vines on the walls were lush and dark green, and the plane trees were swaying their wide leaves, and golden was beginning to brew in the green.

Huang Ligong took out a cigarette, took out one, and handed it to Zhang Wenfeng. Zhang Wenfeng glanced at his hand, moved his gaze to the plane tree, did not continue to smoke, and did not refuse silently. Huang Ligong's hand froze in the air for a while, and then he pulled it back and wanted to put it to his mouth, but he seemed to feel bored again, so he turned back and put the cigarette back in the cigarette case.

"How are you now?" He asked.

"What's going on?"

"Wanli, it's been very popular lately."

"Do you have time to focus on this? It seems that the company is not busy. ”

"Loan shark advertisements are flying all over the sky, and your big head is also flying all over the sky, and it's hard to see it." Huang Ligong didn't want to admit that he was following him. "Internet finance is very popular, but those of us who do business are a little scared."

"Afraid of what?"

"The rate of return is too high. With such a high rate of return, I can't think of anything other than drug trafficking and arms trafficking. Huang Ligong paused for a moment, saw that Zhang Wenfeng did not respond, and said, "Anyway, take it easy." ”

"You don't know BAT, you don't know game companies, what is this gross profit in their eyes?" Zhang Wenfeng said disappreciatively. He walked forward, and Huang Ligong followed.

"Looking for money?"

Huang Ligong stared at Zhang Wenfeng's face, wondering what he meant. Waiting for a taunt? Or are you going to lend him money? This is not bad, but I am afraid that the interest rate is so high.

"Now the business momentum is very good, and it is developing at a high speed. Our R&D investment in the early stage has now begun to bear fruit. Huang Ligong replied in a sonorous tone.

"Your luck is really good, just in the fruitful period, your own reducer can come out, otherwise your high-speed development will lose the reducer......

Huang Ligong suddenly understood, his heart was relieved, ignored his ridicule, and said seriously, "How can there be a start-up company that is not short of money?" You know, since I started my business, when have I ever had a lot of money? Although it has been financed several times and the sales performance is good, R&D is the infrastructure, the investment in the early stage is huge, and the benefits are in the later stage...... I never stopped looking for money. But, to be honest, the interest rate on your loan is too high, and we really can't afford it. ”

"You're thinking too much. This business is not a dish of universal loans. If we were going to invest in manufacturing, we would have stopped eating a long time ago. Zhang Wenfeng shook his head, "There is a company you can meet and make a strategic investment." If you invest, you will have a lot of money. ”

Huang Ligong's eyes lit up, "What company?" ”

"My condition is that I exit at the same time, at the valuation of the new round of financing."

"Why are you in such a hurry? When it comes to the IPO, the benefits are maximized. ”

Zhang Wenfeng didn't have a smile on his face at all, "It's enough now." ”

Huang Ligong stared at him for a moment and sighed, "Okay." ”

"Leyang Industry. I've arranged a time, you can go talk. After Zhang Wenfeng finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Huang Ligong looked at his back in a daze. Leyang Industry is a listed company, industrial software and system integrator, and he is certainly happy to cooperate with such companies over the years. I didn't expect Zhang Wenfeng to leave and get such a star enterprise in such a short time.
