Chapter 193: I can instruct you individually

Although he occasionally lost control of his emotions, he knew that Zhen Mingze would rather destroy the property than give it to him.

He knew his own capabilities; even if this industry were given to him, he couldn't hold onto it, and in the end, he would be sabotaged or even killed by Zhen Mingze.

But he was truly tempted by the clothing trade Lu Qiao mentioned.

Moreover, what Lu Qiao said made a lot of sense: the foundation for buying a house is having clothes to wear and food to eat.

But Lu Qiao wasn't talking about the current situation in Hong Kong; she was talking about other regions, such as the mainland, where the garment industry takes precedence over real estate.

After all, real estate in the mainland is state-owned; private buying and selling is not allowed, let alone real estate speculation.

After Zhen Xi considered it clearly, he didn't hesitate and said to Lu Qiao, "I will hold a meeting with my subordinates and give you an answer tomorrow."

There is no rush for this; tomorrow is fine.

The trade group's office location was set up in the Foreign Trade Section's reception office.

The team leader is Deputy Mayor Xu, who also moved the office location to the neighborhood office.

A conference room was specifically cleared out to serve as the trade group's office.

Everyone works together.

The most important thing is that an international long-distance telephone line was opened here.

There is no other way; making a phone call to Hong Kong now is the same as an international long-distance call.

On the first day of work, a call was made to Zhen Xi, but they have to wait for news tomorrow.

Sister Su quietly asked Lu Qiao, "What if Zhen Xi refuses to participate and won't introduce us to anyone else?"

Although Lu Qiao also stated in the application report that Zhen Xi, or rather the Zhen family, is the first choice, it doesn't matter if the Zhen family gives up; we can cooperate with the Hong Kong Trade Union Federation or the Textile Industry Association. As long as we release the news here, plenty of people will be tempted. What is business for, if not to make money?

No one will refuse such a big cake.

However, everyone lacks experience, and some are worried about making mistakes, so they not only stay far away but also make sarcastic remarks.

Therefore, except for Lu Qiao, who can sit still, everyone else is uneasy.

But fortunately, this was personally approved by the leaders above, so it counts as having a backer.

Lu Qiao said, "How about we arrange for someone to be on duty? I have a feeling Zhen Xi will call tonight."

Will it really be like that?

Several people were not very sure.

But duty personnel must definitely be kept.

The next morning.

Lu Qiao could no longer participate in training because she was temporarily seconded to the District Government's Foreign Trade Section.

Old Hu instructed Lu Qiao with extra seriousness, "You were born and raised in 516; your father and mother are both here. This is your home. No matter how good it is elsewhere, it's not as good as home."

"And you must be responsible for the food factory's foreign trade orders to the end."

"The factory leaders also said that since the night school has been renovated, it can be reopened. We will start preparing in a few days when the documents come down, but since it was your suggestion, you must participate..."

Lu Qiao had never found Old Hu so long-winded. She held back a laugh and nodded seriously, "Director Hu, don't worry. No matter how good it is outside or how great the temptation, I can withstand it. Once the grain and supplies are exchanged back, I will naturally return to continue working."

Old Hu nodded happily again and again.

Lu Qiao and Qin Hengzhi didn't manage to have a date last night, but after Lu Qiao finished talking with Director Hu, she had to go to the Foreign Trade Section.

She didn't expect Qin Hengzhi to come to pick her up by car.

Although today is a training day, it's not mandatory for Qin Hengzhi to be present.

Lu Qiao's regret lessened a lot. Qin Hengzhi smiled and said, "Since you want to participate in training so much, I can instruct you individually, the one-on-one kind."

Lu Qiao was delighted, "Great, when do we start?"

Qin Hengzhi: "..."

"That will have to wait until my partner is free; what say do I have?"

Lu Qiao just laughed.

Qin Hengzhi put away the smile on his face and said seriously to Lu Qiao, "Your analysis was correct. Zhen Xi called last night. He agreed to our proposal, and we are scheduled to talk formally at 9:30 this morning. If it's feasible, he will send someone over."

Afterwards, he explained why he knew.

It was because Director Zhou called last night, and since the neighborhood office was already off work, he called him instead.

Therefore, he knew before Lu Qiao.

Lu Qiao said, "These people look down on our market and feel we don't have the ability to consume. This time, they will be shocked. Of course, if a large amount enters, it will also be a significant impact on our clothing industry."

Qin Hengzhi said solemnly, "The torrent of the era surges forward; sticking to conventions will eventually be eliminated. Only by keeping pace with the times can one remain invincible!"

Lu Qiao laughed; Qin Hengzhi's words were too official.

But in many cases, some of Qin Hengzhi's viewpoints represent the views of higher-level leaders.

Qin Hengzhi parked the car at the entrance of the Foreign Trade Section and asked Lu Qiao, "Will you be working overtime at noon?"

Lu Qiao: "It's very likely I will work overtime. You go about your business; no need to pick me up."

Qin Hengzhi is actually busier than Lu Qiao; he still has to go to the workshop later and go to the North District to inspect goods at noon.

Qin Hengzhi drove away, and Lu Qiao walked quickly into the Foreign Trade Section.

Seeing Lu Qiao arrive, Team Leader Xu greeted her kindly, and Sister Su over there handed the phone logbook to Lu Qiao without any psychological burden.

Lu Qiao knew that everyone had finished reading it, and even the leaders above should be clear about it.

It was no different from what she expected; Zhen Xi, whose situation is actually not good, couldn't possibly be unmoved.

Especially since Zhen Mingze not only controls real estate but also mineral resources.

Director Zhen has many children, and the family structure is complex. Giving important industries to Zhen Mingze so ostentatiously while letting Zhen Xi be the heir—Lu Qiao can be certain that Zhen Xi is very anxious every day.

But he controls little, making it difficult to forge his own path.

Lu Qiao's proposal is a huge temptation for him.

When Zhen Xi called, Lu Qiao took it. The office was very quiet. Lu Qiao sat in the chair with the receiver on the desktop; this is a specially made telephone, specifically approved by the higher-ups.

Other team members were all around, listening to Lu Qiao suggest to Zhen Xi: "I heard that a garment factory owner in Hong Kong sold his factory for 100,000 yuan to speculate on uncompleted apartments."

Zhen Xi was not surprised that Lu Qiao knew so much.

So that half-brother of his is currently in the limelight.

"Actually, housing in Hong Kong is the most important thing right now."

Zhen Xi emphasized.

Lu Qiao expressed agreement: "That's right, so the profits of the textile industry have declined. Otherwise, a 200,000 yuan factory couldn't be sold for 100,000."

Although he sold it for 100,000 less, the person earned 600,000 two years later.

Without doing anything, just playing cards and chatting, 400,000 was in hand.

Lu Qiao stopped at the right point.

Acquiring a few such garment factories now won't lose money.

Three days later, the person sent by Zhen Xi arrived in Jiangcheng.

This was set in motion that very day.

Zhen Xi used the hypermarket and the acquired garment factories, and together with three other clothing companies, finalized the sales and donation matters with the trade group. After we were approved here, Zhen Xi came to Jiangcheng for the second time, and both sides signed the contract. The attached condition was the donation of grain and supplies worth 4 million, and we are responsible for selling their clothing here, with a minimum of 30 million, and no upper limit.

If it can be completed, according to current profits, excluding the donations, they can earn 5 million. Taking one of the clothing companies as an example, they could earn 1 million in half a month; they would probably laugh themselves awake in their dreams. ===== CHAPTER 194 =====
