Chapter 950

Director Bai was also full of emotion: "The affairs of this family can simply be written into a book or made into a movie. I have never seen such a wonderful big show in my life."

Then he paused, his expression becoming serious, and said to everyone off the stage: "But comrades must also remember that money is the most corrosive to the human heart. Our General Administration of Foreign Trade is the place that comes into contact with money the most and also the earliest to come into contact with foreign capital. I hope everyone can keep their original heart and see the essence of money; we can make money, but we cannot become slaves to money!"

After a long speech, everyone below responded in unison, expressing that they would definitely listen to the leader's teachings, never be corroded by money, and never change their faces.

Lu Qiao didn't think Director Bai was saying official jargon.

In a sense, those words were not wrong at all.

After the college entrance examination, Grandma Lu and Meng Xia arrived in Beidu with Xiao Si, Mai Ya, and Luo Aijun.

Those two food companies that only wanted to topple each other, although they didn't go bankrupt immediately, were already crumbling and on the verge of collapse.

Cheng Hui took back everything that belonged to her.

The board of directors had strongly recommended her to be the chairman, but how could she agree?

She wished that the two words "Li Family" would completely disappear from the food industry.

This can't be considered a trade war; just a small counterattack was enough to make the two family businesses suffer heavy losses.

And because of this, Director Bai and Director Lu admired Lu Qiao even more.

Lu Qiao, this young person, really dares to think and do.

What the General Administration of Foreign Trade lacks right now is exactly such a cadre with courage and responsibility.

The map of Xiang Yang brand instant noodles is expanding very fast.

After setting up branch factories in Haicheng and Beidu, Nancheng and Hecheng also successively went into production.

This is a big move; from top to bottom, everyone is busy.

Qin Hengzhi specially took a week off to focus on accompanying the Lu family to walk around and see.

And Lu Qiao, after finalizing the location of the two branch factories, was hurriedly called by Director Bai to go to the meeting together.

This was her first time walking into a conference room of this level.

Everyone sitting there was a senior, and her level was the lowest, but the leader took the lead in introducing Lu Qiao to everyone.

That big leader is often seen in newspapers, but in person, he is exceptionally kind and approachable.

The theme of the meeting is how to integrate Xiang Yang Food Factory.

Today's Xiang Yang already has five branch factories; it is no longer the small workshop it was at the beginning, but a large state-owned factory with an initial scale.

In the food industry, such a volume is second to none.

Operations are not worrying.

The present is the golden age of doing business, completely different from decades later.

Now it is a typical seller's market, where demand exceeds supply.

As long as the product is produced, there is no worry about sales.

The truly severe problem is management.

One carelessness could lead to each going their own way, falling apart, and ruining this brand that was established with such difficulty.

If they can unite and cooperate, then naturally the future is limitless.

This requires a core leadership team.

But the General Administration of Foreign Trade really can't bear to let Lu Qiao go.

Not to mention the stable big customers in her hands, just Lu Qiao's keen and decisive ability is too precious at the current stage.

Otherwise, the superiors wouldn't have given her the green light all the way.

This is more like a symposium.

Everyone puts the problems on the table and discusses countermeasures together.

The General Administration of Foreign Trade definitely cannot let go, but if Xiang Yang Food Factory continues to be affiliated with the General Administration, it is extremely unfavorable for long-term development.

The General Administration simply does not have the authority to govern such a huge supply system.

To be honest, if it continues to develop, the General Administration might not even have the qualifications to guide it.

After repeated discussions, the concept proposed by Lu Qiao in the early years finally landed—

"Xiang Yang International Group," this term, which seemed very fresh at the time, was officially approved for establishment.

This is a purely state-owned large factory, not privately held, so the management structure is also different from private enterprises.

At least for now, there is no board of directors, and it is completely built according to the standards of large state-owned factories.

The factory site of the original Beidu branch factory was officially assigned to Xiang Yang Food Company after the meeting.

The construction plan for the new office building was also finalized.

In the future, Lu Qiao's work focus will switch between the General Administration and the headquarters.

The leader smiled and said to her: "It's hard work for now, having to run on both ends."

Another leader also joked: "There's no way, who told the General Administration of Foreign Trade not to let go? Xiao Lu, you have to bear with it."

Whether it is hard work or not, only Lu Qiao herself knows.

But everything is moving forward in an orderly manner.

Lu Qiao is thinking that after the headquarters building is built, she will transfer experienced veterans like Zhao Qingshan over.

As for the food factory at the military factory, she still has to find Factory Director Hao to discuss it carefully.

Currently, there is no explicit regulation that military factories cannot run factories, and Factory Director Hao will definitely not easily agree to transfer the food factory to the local area.

This is a golden doll that can lay golden eggs; once separated, the military factory's welfare and capital flow will be affected.

What's more, the factory has placed a large number of military dependents; if separated rashly, even if the local area accepts them, it is inevitable that some people will feel unbalanced.

With one phone call, Zhao Qingshan, Zhou Li, Lu Qiaoling, and others all rushed to Beidu for a meeting.

The Jiangcheng branch factory is still the original team, and even with the headquarters, production has not been affected in the slightest.

It can be said that wherever Xiang Yang Food Factory lands, it is sending money to that city.

The newly established group headquarters preparation office receives dozens of calls from local governments every day, competing to invite them to set up factories locally, and the conditions offered are one better than the other.

Orders are only increasing, not decreasing.

Especially after the newly added ham sausage and pickled mustard production lines went into production, production capacity was tight again.

Xiang Yang International Group takes instant noodles as its main business, with ham sausage and pickled mustard as supplements, and subsequently plans to expand into new categories such as beverages and pastries.

This is an era where everything you sell makes money.

And this meeting officially established Lu Qiao's position as the general factory director.

When she was called back to the General Administration again, the look in people's eyes when they looked at her was completely different.

No longer Factory Director Xiao Lu, but Factory Director Lu, who manages tens of thousands of employees and holds huge state-owned assets.

Sang Juan naturally still followed Lu Qiao's side.

Luo Xinghua continued to stay in the branch factory to practice.

She is really too happy; it's so good after integration, with hearts moving in one direction, the factory will definitely get better and better.

She is working harder and harder.

At Xia Yinghe's home.

In front of the window, Xia Yinghe sat with a cold face, not saying a word.

Lou Zhe just returned from the laboratory and was organizing the materials at hand.

He noticed his wife's abnormality and raised his head in surprise: "What's wrong with you?"

Xia Yinghe's voice was faint: "Lu Qiao, just today, has been officially appointed as the factory director of Xiang Yang General Factory."

After she finished speaking, she also looked at Lou Zhe meaningfully.

Lou Zhe is sensitive and has always said what he has to say.

He glanced at his wife with a half-smile and asked directly: "Why are you looking at me like that?"
