Chapter 1209
At this time, Zhou Andong and Jian Qiu had already arrived at the Qiudongfang Beijing company. The temporary office location was the factory headquarters of the City No. 1 Machine Tool Factory.
Originally, they were going to rent two floors of offices in the China World Trade Center, but Liu Wenli felt that the factory headquarters building of the No. 1 Machine Tool Factory was quite good.
The place was big enough, the facilities were complete, and as long as it was repainted, it could be used for office work directly.
Mainly, the location didn't affect the project construction. Once the building was built and decorated, they would move in, and tearing this place down would still be in time.
It had to be said that the district's efficiency in handling matters was truly high. After the contract with Qiudongfang was signed, the headquarters of the No. 1 Machine Tool Factory moved to the Langjiayuan branch factory.
Now they were busy dismantling the equipment. The relocation must be completed before the Spring Festival. Next spring, the Qiudongfang headquarters building would have to start construction.
In addition, the metal structure factory and the high-pressure gas cylinder factory opposite had already started demolition, and the roar of machinery didn't stop for 24 hours. This was the current era; if it were more than ten years later, the complaints about disturbing the people would have exploded the phones.
The boss and the boss's wife had arrived. Not only Yuan Wanqi, Liu Wenli, and the newly recruited senior management, but even Jia Hongbin had come.
A large group of people stood on the street. Jia Hongbin pointed to the No. 1 Machine Tool Factory: "Chairman Zhou, don't worry. Before the Spring Festival, the relocation will definitely be completed, and it will absolutely not delay construction next spring."
Zhou Andong took the cigarette handed to him by Wang Minyu, Jia Hongbin's secretary, and said with a smile: "With you, District Mayor Jia, standing on the stage behind us, what do I have to worry about?"
Jia Hongbin laughed heartily and turned to walk towards the metal structure factory and the high-pressure gas cylinder factory: "Let's go over there and take a look."
Zhou Andong and Jian Qiu, accompanied by the crowd, took a tour of the construction site, and then Jia Hongbin arranged dinner at the district guesthouse.
Zhou Andong didn't want to eat, but he couldn't resist Jia Hongbin's enthusiasm, and this was also a kind gesture from him. If he refused repeatedly, it would be a bit ungrateful.
By the time they finished dinner, it was past six o'clock, and it was already dark outside.
Originally, Zhou Andong wanted to hold a meeting for the Qiudongfang senior management, but at this time, he could only give up, and then sent Yuan Wanqi to the China World Hotel, which had just opened not long ago.
"What time is your flight tomorrow?" Zhou Andong asked, standing outside the hotel gate.
Yuan Wanqi said: "The flight is at 9:20 tomorrow morning."
Zhou Andong said: "I have a mortal enemy, the kind that is endless. His name is Tong Huaiyu. This guy is insidious and vicious. To achieve his private goals, he does things without a bottom line.
And he is in Ganzhou now, with the goal of integrating rare earths and monopolizing the entire rare earth resources of Ganzhou Province. Your trip this time has already touched his interests.
Although you are a Hong Kong businessman and he wouldn't dare to do anything on the surface, it's hard to avoid him jumping over the wall in a hurry and doing small things in secret. Therefore, I'll have Zhao Hong take a few people with you to protect your safety."
Yuan Wanqi didn't refuse. She still understood some things in the mainland quite well. Some people do things without a bottom line, and they really can do anything.
"Okay!"
"You don't have to worry too much either." Zhou Andong said: "Your trip this time is in the spotlight. He might not necessarily dare to cause trouble. I'm having Zhao Hong take people with you just in case."
The two chatted for a few words, Yuan Wanqi greeted Jian Qiu, and turned to enter the hotel.
Zhou Andong and Jian Qiu got into the car. After returning home and taking a shower, they had just turned on the TV when the phone by the bed rang.
Jian Qiu picked it up: "Grandpa... ah... I'll give the phone to him."
Zhou Andong walked over, leaned against the head of the bed, and took the phone: "Grandpa, what's the matter?"
Jian Hongzhang's voice came from the receiver: "It's a good thing."
Hearing the old man say it was a good thing, Zhou Andong not only didn't feel happy but instead became alert, asking cautiously.
"What's the matter?"
Seeing Zhou Andong's appearance, Jian Qiu giggled.
The old man said: "The matter of establishing the grain reserve company has been agreed upon by the top. And since this plan was proposed by you, the top wants to thank you and allow you to invest, but the shares cannot exceed 15 percent."
"Grandpa, thank the leaders for their love on my behalf." Zhou Andong refused without even thinking: "Let's forget about the investment."
Are you kidding? That's a big pit. He's not a fool. Knowing it's a pit, he's not going to step into it.
15 percent of the shares is a joke. Without any right to speak, he would be pitted to death.
More importantly, he already had his own plan. The Blue Sky Animal Husbandry Seed Industry had already been built.
And Young Master Pu was working hard in the black soil of Longjiang Province. There was no need for him to get involved in the central grain reserves.
And his goal was the bank. As long as he got the Overseas Trust Bank in Xiangjiang, he would definitely be able to get a foot in the door when domestic banks were reformed in the future.
Also, if he could get oil in the Middle East, he could get involved when the country reformed crude oil and refined oil. The two oil giants were established.
As long as he mastered the oil wells in his hands, he would have the right to speak. If he couldn't get oil wells in the Middle East, he would absolutely not get involved. Because without the right to speak, getting involved would definitely lead to being pitted.
The old man was stunned, and it took a good while before he asked: "Have you thought it through? You're not investing?"
Zhou Andong said with a smile: "The establishment of the central grain reserves will definitely bring me huge benefits, but how can I take advantage of the country?"
In his previous life, the central grain reserves were established in the year 2000, and now it's many years ahead of schedule.
Zhou Andong knew with his toes that asking him to invest and buy shares was definitely not for some bullshit gratitude.
It was because the country had no money, and the limited funds had to be used on the cutting edge.
Therefore, what the old man said sounded good, that it was to thank him, but in fact, he had his eyes on the money in his hands.
The old man really didn't expect Zhou Andong to refuse: "Don't you want to consider it carefully? You should know that such an opportunity is not something everyone can have."
Zhou Andong was very firm: "I am a person with a bottom line and morals. I absolutely will not take advantage of the country, not even for a needle or a thread."
At this moment, the old man really had bitterness he couldn't speak of. He felt that he should have made it clear from the beginning that the country had no money and wanted him to invest some.
In that way, this kid wouldn't have pushed back and forth. Even if he had any thoughts in his heart, he wouldn't have refused so firmly, without leaving any retreat.
"I think you should consider it. This is good for you and for the country."
"No!" Zhou Andong's mouth curled into a smile: "Grandpa, help me thank the leaders. I, Zhou Andong, will remember this favor."
"This little fox."
The old man understood. Zhou Andong already knew his purpose in asking him to invest, and cursed in his heart.
"The country is short of money now, so I hope you can invest some."
The old man finally expressed his true thoughts. He had to say it, because Zhou Andong, this little rabbit, was too slippery.
Zhou Andong grinned, but didn't dare to laugh out loud. Otherwise, if the old man became angry out of shame, the one who would be uncomfortable would definitely be him.
