Chapter 1654: Home

Zhou Andong said very modestly: "The two leaders are praising me. I am just a straightforward person who says whatever comes to mind. Whether it's right or wrong, please bear with me."

"Hmm?"

Zhang Shenghui and Wu Hongkang looked at each other, thinking at the same time, this guy has never known what humility is; what's wrong with him today?

We must sleep early tonight and get up early tomorrow to see if the sun rises in the west.

Gu Bing smacked his lips; this act of yours is truly moistening things silently.

"No!" Cao Guoli said seriously: "This is not praise, but from the heart."

Yang Libin asked: "Chairman Zhou, when are you leaving tomorrow?"

"I'll leave as soon as I get up tomorrow morning." Zhou Andong understood what Yang Libin meant: "You don't need to come over."

"Fine!" Yang Libin nodded, then looked at the time: "You all rest early."

"There is one more thing." Zhou Andong said seriously: "The phenomenon of random digging and mining and grabbing resources in the salt lake is very serious. Before my investment lands, those small and medium-sized mining enterprises must be replaced or integrated."

At this time, there were two major potash fertilizer enterprises in the salt lake: one was the Qinghai Potash Fertilizer Plant west of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, and the other was the Golmud Potash and Magnesium Plant east of the railway, which was later the largest controlling shareholder of Kunlun Mining.

Those private mining enterprises, whether legal or illegal, since they could open mines, their relationship networks must be intricate and complicated; everyone had some connections behind them.

Actually, it wasn't just Golmud; it was the same all over the country. Without people and connections, it was impossible to open a mine, and most of these people were lawless. In order to grab resources, armed fights often occurred.

The Qinghai Potash Fertilizer Plant and the Golmud Potash and Magnesium Plant were both state-owned enterprises, so these people didn't dare to mess around. But Zhou Andong was just an outsider, and his fame was nothing in the eyes of these people.

When their interests didn't conflict, they could call you brother and drink happily. But if interests conflicted, they would definitely draw knives.

Don't talk about investing in a 1.5 million-ton potash fertilizer project; the country and the province would definitely attach importance to it, so those people wouldn't dare to mess around. Those who had this kind of thinking were either simple-minded or didn't understand this era.

If these people were really that law-abiding, when Kunlun Mining was integrated for the first time in the future, they wouldn't have had no merit. Even the second time the province issued a document, Qiao Lifeng's Tianhui Potash Fertilizer used real money to acquire it, which took more than ten years to complete.

Therefore, before these private mining enterprises were integrated or banned, he would absolutely not let the investment land and find trouble for himself.

Of course, if Golmud was determined at this time to cut off the tumor on its body, it would be much easier compared to ten years later.

"I have also considered this problem without you saying it." Yang Libin's face also became serious: "We will hold a meeting tomorrow to study this problem. Those with licenses will all be integrated, and illegal ones will all be banned."

Director Wang silently mourned for those private mining enterprises, and at the same time, he had a doubt in his heart.

Regarding the problem of banning or integrating private mining enterprises, Zhou Andong obviously had ideas for a long time.

But when he was at Junjun Restaurant, why did he still let Qiao Lifeng contract salt mines?

He didn't think Zhou Andong wanted to pit Qiao Lifeng. Not to mention that the two had no conflict of interest, just the identity gap between the two, Qiao Lifeng really didn't have the qualifications to let Zhou Andong dig a hole for him.

"Then let's stop here." Zhou Andong stood up: "Secretary Yang, Mayor Cao, as long as you can get the policies and solve the private small enterprises, I will definitely fulfill my promise."

"Then that's it." Yang Libin shook hands with Zhou Andong: "Waiting for our good news."

Then, Cao Guoli also reached out and shook hands with Zhou Andong.

"Chairman Zhou, I believe we will meet again soon."

Zhou Andong said with a smile: "I believe so too."

Yang Libin and Cao Guoli left, and Director Wang and another municipal leader also left.

Zhang Shenghui took out a cigarette and passed it around: "Do you really want to invest in potash fertilizer?"

Zhou Andong asked: "Do you have any thoughts?"

Zhang Shenghui didn't hide his thoughts: "I think investing in potash fertilizer has much better prospects than chain hotels and gas stations."

Zhou Andong asked again: "Want to invest a little?"

Zhang Shenghui nodded: "As long as you can really guarantee it for me and convince the bank to defer interest, I will invest in potash fertilizer."

Wu Hongkang pondered and said: "I also think the prospects for potash fertilizer are relatively good."

Zhou Andong laughed: "You also want to invest in potash fertilizer?"

"Correct!" Wu Hongkang was a bit embarrassed: "Of course, if you have your own plans, you can refuse."

"What kind of relationship do we have?" Zhou Andong said very generously: "Even if I have my own plans, since you want to participate in the investment, I cannot refuse."

Saying this, Zhou Andong looked at Gu Bing again: "You also prepare some funds; if there is money, we brothers must make it together."

Gu Bing was not interested in chain hotels and gas stations, but he was moved by investing in potash fertilizer.

And for the profit from shorting the British pound in the UK, he only took out a part and gave it to Young Master Pu to run a farm in Longjiang Province.

The rest was still lying in the bank. If he invested in potash fertilizer, he really had no pressure at all.

"Go back and discuss it with my wife to see what she thinks."

"Fine!" Zhou Andong said to Zhou Anbei again: "You go back and discuss it with Cao Yi too. If you want to invest, just take out a loan from the bank. You can find me, or going directly to the bank will definitely be no problem."

"Good!" Zhou Anbei agreed.

Zhou Andong yawned: "Let's go, go back to the room to sleep, and go home tomorrow."

…………………………

March 20, 1994, the ninth day of the second lunar month, Sunday!

Zhou Andong and his party finally arrived in Beijing. Because the return trip wasn't too urgent, they didn't rush too much.

Several people had a farewell meal, and then they each went back to their own homes to find their own mothers.

Only Gu Bing wandered alone on the street, then found a hotel to stay in.

When Zhou Andong and Xiaobei returned to Anqiu Hutong, they saw Old Cricket coming out of the courtyard.

That old face was flushed, and he was walking a bit unsteadily; obviously, he had drunk quite a bit.

"Brother, when did you come?"

Old Cricket looked up and saw it was Zhou Andong, and happily quickened his pace.

"Came at noon; Old Master Zhou insisted on keeping me for a drink, and I drank until now."

Zhou Andong asked with a smile: "Did you bring the items?"

"Correct!" Old Cricket lowered his voice and said: "This time, there are two good things."

Zhou Andong was just about to ask what they were when he heard a shout of "Big Brother," and then a chubby little figure rushed over.

Zhou Andong hurriedly stepped aside, squatted down slightly, and used force in his waist.

Immediately, the chubby little body that rushed over crashed into his arms. ===== CHAPTER 1655 =====
