Back to the golden age

"What is this for?"

Seeing so much money, Qin Zhengguo raised his eyebrows, and his face sank instantly.

"A poor family is rich and rich. It's always good to bring more money with you. It won't help if I let the money go." Song Yuanchao saw that his cigarettes were almost exhausted, so he handed him another cigarette and said, "In addition, the money is also worthless." It’s not for you, but for you to take it with you and do something.”

Qin Zhengguo held a cigarette, looked at Song Yuanchao and said nothing.

Song Yuanchao lit a cigarette by himself, took a puff and said, "Actually, Daqi had planned to go to Yangcheng before, but later she stayed because she wanted to work with me in Shanghai. Not only him, but I also went to Yangcheng to see The idea of ​​watching it, but I can’t go there for the time being. This time you go there as a stop for us.”

"You mean...?" Qin Zhengguo asked, his face softened, and he lit a cigarette.

"The country's policy has gradually opened up. The south is different from the north. Yangcheng is close to the Xiangjiang River. It is greatly influenced by that side, so it opened up earlier and more comprehensively."

"It is said that doing business in Yangcheng has become a normal thing, and the policy is far more relaxed than other places. And I got the news that the country is still discussing setting up a special economic zone in the south, which is likely to be set up in Pengcheng, not far from Yangcheng. .”

"When you arrive in Yangcheng, you should first find a place to settle down. It's best to buy a house, and then follow Li Daqi's friends to go around there more, take a look around, see if there is any business that can be done, and build some first." Said this , Song Yuanchao glanced at Qin Zhengguo, he didn't say how to do business in detail, because he knew that Qin Zhengguo's ability does not need to be taught, not to mention what is going on in Yangcheng now Song Yuanchao is not very clear, everything will only be known after Qin Zhengguo passes by himself .

"In a word, get a foothold first, then find out the situation, and you can handle the rest yourself. The money is for you to open up the situation there, and it can be regarded as an investment for all of us in the south."

Hearing that Qin Zhengguo understood Song Yuanchao's intentions, he nodded and repacked the money without saying a word.

He stood up, put out the butts of the cigarettes he had smoked in the ashtray, and continued to pack his luggage.

Song Yuanchao helped him clean up. In fact, Qin Zhengguo didn't have anything else. Besides, the weather is getting warmer now. Even in the south, it's not cold in winter. You don't need to bring those padded jackets, just a change of clothes and toiletries.

After finishing, the two walked out of the three-story pavilion with their luggage, closed and locked the door, and Qin Zhengguo left the key to Song Yuanchao.

When we got downstairs, Song Yuanchao drove Qin Zhengguo to Laobei Railway Station in person, and when he got there, he asked about a train bound for Yangcheng at 11 o'clock in the middle of the night. He bought a ticket for this train, and Song Yuanchao drove Qin Zhengguo to the entrance. .

"Go back, it won't be safe to go back this way later." It was getting late, Qin Zhengguo took the backpack and smiled at Song Yuanchao: "I will ask Daqi's friend to call him when I get there, if there is nothing wrong here Send me a telegram, anyway, you don't need money to send a telegram, see you after this matter is over!"

"Okay!" Song Yuanchao nodded heavily: "Take care all the way, pay attention to safety!"

"Mother-in-law, it's really long-winded!" Qin Zhengguo squeezed his fist and beat Song Yuanchao's chest, grinned, turned around and left with his luggage in his hands, and walked into the entrance without stopping, his figure disappeared in front of Song Yuanchao's eyes in a blink of an eye.

Early the next morning, Song Yuanchao checked and verified the remaining materials in the workshop. The printing work officially ended today, and it will be completed after finishing and binding the next day.

Song Yuanchao has been busy with this work throughout the morning, and the comrades in the workshop are also hurrying to finish the work in the last bit of time. Although they are busy and tired, everyone is very happy, because Song Yuanchao has announced the bonus to everyone yesterday It will be sent to everyone before get off work today, and then I will give you the good news of the day off.

For this, everyone has been looking forward to it for a long time. When they think of the bonus that is about to be received, their whole body is as excited as if it has been pumped with chicken blood.

Song Yuanchao didn't see Director Ma in the factory all morning, so he must be at the school.

After lunch, the factory manager Ma came late, first told the cashier to arrange the distribution of everyone's bonus, and then waved to Song Yuanchao.

"master!"

"I just discussed what I said yesterday with the principal. You go to the principal's office now. The principal has something to do with you." Originally, Song Yuanchao thought that Director Ma would bring good news, but he didn't expect the principal to see him.

"The principal is looking for me? What's the matter, Master?" Song Yuanchao was taken aback immediately.

"Hehe, I should have a chat with you. After all, you brought up this matter. It's normal for the principal to seek you out. Hurry up. The principal has something to go out later. Don't make him wait too long." Factory Manager Ma said. As usual, Song Yuanchao responded and rushed towards the school.

After a while, he knocked on the door of the principal's office. Principal Zhou, who was sitting at the desk and looking at the documents, saw Song Yuanchao coming and waved him to let him in.

"Principal, are you looking for me?"

"Yanchao, you sit down first." Principal Zhou said kindly, and at the same time got up to pour water for Song Yuanchao.

Song Yuanchao quickly took the water bottle and poured it himself, and filled Principal Zhou's teacup by the way, and then the two sat down on the sofa.

"Lao Ma came to see me this morning. You should know what's going on." After sitting down, Principal Zhou asked straight to the point.

Song Yuanchao nodded, of course he knew it, wasn't it just what he told Director Ma yesterday.

"The school has no objection to this matter," Principal Zhou said.

"So you agree?" Song Yuanchao didn't expect Principal Zhou to agree so readily, and his face showed joy immediately.

"Why don't you agree? I'm not old-fashioned." Seeing Song Yuanchao's expression, Principal Zhou smiled immediately: "This is a good thing for our school and factory, and it is also a good thing for the country and the people. What reason do I have to object? "

"Great!" Song Yuanchao finally let go of his heart completely, and the anxiety he had before coming with President Zhou's words disappeared in a flash.

Principal Zhou waved his hand, looked at Song Yuanchao and said, "There are two things for calling you here. The first thing is to tell you what the school thinks about this matter. I'm also curious about how you came up with this."

As he said that, Principal Zhou looked at Song Yuanchao, as if he wanted to find out the answer from him. Song Yuanchao hesitated for a while and said immediately: "Actually, I was just thinking about it, mainly because I thought of it this time when I was reviewing materials for the college entrance examination. Feeling that since so many students need these things, then we can use our strengths to serve them."

"You know, the school-run factory has been producing labor insurance products, but this month the orders for labor insurance products have shown a downward trend. Originally, the master thought it was because of the factory's seasonality, but I deliberately followed the delivery some time ago. After looking at it, I found out that this is not the problem.”

"What's the reason?" Principal Zhou asked with interest.

"The reason why other companies compete with similar products." Song Yuanchao said frankly.He explained in detail what he saw when he followed the delivery, especially when he mentioned that the other factory already had other suppliers of labor insurance products in the same industry, and their products were better than the current ones in terms of style, color and practicality. The factory's products are much stronger, and there is not much difference in price between the two. In addition, the other party has already opened up the supply and marketing channels for using the factory. If this continues, it will greatly affect the future orders of the school-run factory.

While listening, Principal Zhou frowned slightly, and he asked with a serious expression, "Have you mentioned this to Lao Ma?"

"Of course, otherwise, why would my master think about doing this?" Song Yuanchao replied. In fact, what he said was a bit insincere. Director Ma didn't pay much attention to the competition of labor insurance products. In his opinion, this is a national enterprise. For the fixed production tasks of their factories, even if they are affected, they are limited.

Perhaps it is precisely because of his idea that the school-run factory, which was still relatively popular, will fail next year, and it will not be able to support it for a long time, thus ending its history.

In the early days of reform and opening up, it was not uncommon to see business leaders like the factory manager Ma. In some respects, he had no problem with his ability to manage the factory and his sense of responsibility. However, due to the huge changes brought about by the tide of the times, the entire The social structure, including the market, has undergone earth-shaking changes.

The decades of experience and deep-rooted ideas that their generation is proud of suddenly failed to keep up with the great changes of the times, which led to a series of irreparable consequences. This is an extremely painful lesson.

Factory Manager Ma is Song Yuanchao's master, so as an apprentice, he naturally cannot dismantle the master's corner, and it is impossible for Song Yuanchao to criticize Factory Manager Ma in front of Principal Zhou.

Song Yuanchao once persuaded Director Ma to change the production structure of the school-run factory, but was rejected by Director Ma.But this time, he saved the country through the chance curve of making college entrance examination review materials, and led the director Ma's thinking to another road, which led to the current situation.

"It seems that Lao Ma also has a sense of crisis. After all, he is an old comrade of the revolution. It is not bad that he is sensitive." Principal Zhou nodded in relief after listening to Song Yuanchao's explanation.

"Principal, since you also think this is feasible, if our school, including the factory, can take this opportunity to transform, we will be able to find another way. Even if there are fewer orders for labor protection supplies in the future, at least the factory will not need to worry about it. This is a worry, and the school can take this opportunity to gain both fame and fortune, what do you think?"

"Hahaha, you kid is still a set, it sounds good."

Principal Zhou burst into laughter immediately, and reached out his hand to point at Song Yuanchao, who also laughed embarrassedly.

In fact, Principal Zhou had thought about this matter as early as the first cooperation, but before he could talk to Factory Director Ma and Song Yuanchao, they proposed this proposal, which made Principal Zhou a little surprised.
