Chapter 119

"What is it?" Zhou Andong threw a cigarette to Qian Zhen and handed him the lighter.

Gu Bing said: "Cheng Dadan (Bold Cheng)."

Zhou Andong blinked and said with a smile: "Really vivid."

Gu Bing said: "He looks like an old-school scholar, but when he gets angry, he really doesn't want his life. During those ten years, he dared to drink big bowls of wine and eat big chunks of meat. The old Red Guards came to trouble him, and he carried a three-edged bayonet by himself, chasing more than twenty old Red Guards all over the street.

In '78, when reform and opening up was proposed, he was the secretary of a small town in the south. In '79 and '80, in two years, with his support, more than thirty private enterprises popped up in that town. Although they were all family-style workshops, at that time, he was walking on a tightrope."

Zhou Andong took a puff of the cigarette: "His guts are indeed big enough."

Gu Bing said: "So, giving you shares, in his view, is really not a big deal. But the premise is that you must fulfill your promise. If you fail, he won't have a good time, and your butt will definitely have to be beaten."

Zhou Andong smacked his lips: "So serious, then I'd better think about it carefully. Being this factory director is too dangerous."

Gu Bing laughed hehe with schadenfreude: "Who told you to brag for no reason? Realizing sales of 200 million in three years, I want to see how you realize it."

Zhou Andong sighed. Now it's the early 90s, realizing sales of 200 million in three years, the difficulty is not generally large. Originally, he thought about paving the way for Gu Bing and then withdrawing, but now he was forcibly pressed into the position of factory director, responsible for the bragging he had done.

"Uncle Qian!"

Qian Zhen hurriedly waved his hand: "You are the factory director, don't call me Uncle Qian."

Zhou Andong laughed ha: "Even if I am the factory director, I still have to call you Uncle."

Qian Zhen still wanted to say something, but Zhou Andong shook his head to stop him: "Alright, it's just a title. Didn't we acquire the Jinli County Distillery? I plan to let you go over and serve as factory director."

"Can!" Qian Zhen agreed without hesitation, then asked, "What about Du Chunlai? This person is still quite good."

Actually, Qian Zhen staying behind could give Zhou Andong the greatest help, but there was no way, there was really no one to use, and the merger work was so important that he couldn't rest assured letting others go.

"I will transfer Du Chunlai to the general factory. In the future, the county distillery will only be responsible for production and have no sales rights. Some departments will definitely have to be abolished. You go talk to Du Chunlai tomorrow about who can be used and who cannot. Kick out those who cannot be used, leave a portion of those who can be used for you, and the rest will come over with Du Chunlai."

Speaking of this, Zhou Andong threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stepped on it, "In addition, pick a few useful people from the factory to take over."

Gu Bing asked: "There will be a lot to be busy with next."

Zhou Andong flipped through the reform plan. The first plan was to take out 20% of the enterprise's total property rights and sell them to employees, with the city still holding a controlling stake. The second plan was to sell all assets to employees, with the city using land as a valuation to buy shares.

Zhou Andong frowned, handed the reform plan to Gu Bing and Qian Zhen, and the two looked at it.

Gu Bing said: "I think the second plan is very consistent with what you said that day."

Qian Zhen also nodded: "I also think the second plan is very good."

Jian Qiu took it and looked at it, then looked at Zhou Andong: "I know what you are thinking, wanting the government to completely withdraw from the enterprise, but it's unrealistic for the time being."

Zhou Andong sighed again: "It seems it can only be the second plan."

Jian Qiu said: "The general factory and the county distillery are valued at 32 million, land is valued at 6.4 million, the city owns 6.4 million shares, 20%, plus your 12%, 3.84 million shares. The remaining 68%, 21.76 million shares, are to be sold to employees."

Zhou Andong said with a smile: "The land in our Jiangzhou is still very valuable."

Jian Qiu also smiled: "Be content, it's not bad that they didn't value it at 20 million and hold a controlling stake."

Zhou Andong said: "You guys also prepare some money, once this village is gone, there will be no such shop."

"Alright!" Zhou Andong stood up, "Let's go, let's go eat something, my stomach is almost flattened from hunger."

The next day, Zhou Andong became completely busy. First, he sent a long list to Zuo Peiming, and then designed the trademark for Jiang Xiaobai. Yes, Zhou Andong was too lazy to come up with other names, so he just called it Jiang Xiaobai.

Next was the marketing plan. Since he had bragged, he had to realize this brag. The previous marketing plan was no longer suitable, so he redid one.

On February 27th, Zhou Andong came to the distillery and went straight to Jian Qiu's office, then handed a piece of paper filled with lyrics and music to Jian Qiu.

"Can you sing it?"

Jian Qiu picked it up, hummed along, and her eyes suddenly lit up: "Who wrote it?"

Zhou Andong said: "Besides me, who else can write such a good song?"

Jian Qiu didn't believe it at all: "Forget it if you don't say."

Zhou Andong was anxious: "You still don't believe it, it was really written by me."

Seeing Zhou Andong anxious, Jian Qiu asked suspiciously again: "Really?"

"Of course!" Zhou Andong slapped his chest, "Who would your man lie to, he wouldn't lie to his woman."

Jian Qiu laughed: "Alright, I believe you."

"What kind of attitude is that!" Zhou Andong said dissatisfied: "Believe it if you believe it, what are you laughing at."

Jian Qiu was too lazy to pay attention to this guy: "Is this song specifically for promoting Jiang Xiaobai?"

"Right!" Zhou Andong said: "Launch the promotional song in April to launch Jiang Xiaobai, and the graduation season in June."

Jian Qiu nodded, looking at the song list in her hand, and said with a little excitement: "An Jing is a professional, she can sing it."

"Alright!" Zhou Andong agreed, "You give it to her tonight, record it quickly after getting familiar with it."

Jian Qiu said: "To record the song, we have to go to Jingcheng."

"You guys figure it out." Zhou Andong waved his hand and turned to walk out.

Jian Qiu asked: "Where are you going?"

Zhou Andong said: "I'm going to find Gao Qingkui. He retires the day after tomorrow, so don't come tomorrow, just stay at home. It's freezing cold and the road is slippery, with old arms and legs, what if you come to work tomorrow and fall and get hurt?"

Since the general meeting of all employees that day, Gao Qingkui had been as steady as a mountain, going to work on time every day and getting off work on time. For decades, he had never been so punctual.

And Zhang Deyou was the same, coming to the office and staying for a whole day, not even coming out for lunch. Only until getting off work would he be seen.

Zhou Andong didn't know what those two old things were doing, but he was sure they definitely weren't doing anything good.

Arriving in front of Gao Qingkui's office door, Zhou Andong raised his hand and knocked.

There was no movement inside, Zhou Andong raised his hand and knocked on the door again.

This time there was a response: "Come in!"

Zhou Andong pushed the door and walked in: "Old Factory Director, you retire tomorrow, but you are still busy for the distillery, which really makes me, a junior, ashamed."
