Chapter 2011: Cooperation with the Supply and Marketing Cooperative

"He really is a talent."

Zhou Andong laughed. Of course, he knew what kind of person Niu Junfeng was.

In his previous life, it was precisely because his achievements were so great that they overshadowed his master, making the chairman wary, and he had to leave Yili.

Pu Zhirong also laughed: "He is indeed a talent, but he subsidized the employees with his own salary. How could such behavior of buying people's hearts not make the chairman wary? Moreover, most employees only know Niu Junfeng, not the chairman."

Zhou Andong asked: "Did Liu Junfeng come to talk to you?"

"Yes!" Pu Zhirong nodded: "The day before yesterday, I convened a board meeting. He might have heard the news and found me in the evening. He told me without any avoidance that he wanted to leave and start his own business, and hoped that I could invest. And he promised me that he would never add melamine to the milk."

Zhou Andong frowned slightly. In his previous life, Niu Junfeng didn't leave until 1998, and Mengniu was established in 1999. Now it has been advanced by four years.

Pu Zhirong didn't see Zhou Andong's expression and continued: "He might also know the crisis he is in, so he wants to leave and start over."

Zhou Andong pondered for a long while before saying: "Then invest in him."

"Okay!" Pu Zhirong said: "With your words, I can rest assured and do it boldly."

Several people chatted for more than an hour before the skewers were served.

After eating and drinking, they left the barbecue restaurant, and Zhou Andong called Shen Mingsheng to invite him for a drink in the evening.

Then Zhou Andong went home. Just as he sat on the sofa in the living room, Seeing Jian Qiu came in.

"The old man wants you to go to Courtyard No. 6."

Zhou Andong asked strangely: "What's the matter?"

Seeing Jian Qiu sat beside him and said with a smile: "You made such a big stir, donating one billion US dollars at once, how could no one report it to the old man?"

"Is it that fast?" Zhou Andong checked the time: "It's only been three hours."

"Three hours is not short. The central leaders should all know by now." Seeing Jian Qiu stood up, took Zhou Andong's hand, and walked out: "I'll go back with you."

Courtyard No. 6!

"Man Man Laoyezi Jian." Ye Pu walked into the courtyard with his hands behind his back: "An old friend is here, come out and welcome me quickly."

The study window opened, and Jian Zhao Hongzhang snorted: "What are you here for?"

Ye Pu wasn't angry either, and said with a smile: "I'm here to see your granddaughter's husband and thank him on behalf of the country."

"Can't I, as his grandfather, represent him?" Jian Zhao Hongzhang said sarcastically: "What do I need you to represent?"

Ye Pu entered the door, entered the living room, then pushed open the study door and walked in.

"Doesn't having one more person show more sincerity?"

Ye Pu found the tea leaves very familiarly and then brewed a cup of tea for himself.

"The child donated one billion US dollars, over 7 billion RMB. It wouldn't be too much for us old guys to salute him together and say thank you."

"Humph!"

Jian Zhao Hongzhang snorted again, but looking at the expression on his face, he was obviously very satisfied with Ye Pu's attitude.

"Oh!"

At this time, Man Man Laoyezi Liu came in: "Old Ye, you came early enough."

Ye Pu held the teacup, blew on the tea leaves that hadn't been brewed yet, and took a sip without fear of being scalded.

"The child donated so much money, of course I have to come early so that the sincerity is sufficient."

Man Man Laoyezi Liu sneered: "You old fox, you came to find the child this time, it must not be just for a simple thank you."

"You really got that right." Ye Pu put down the teacup and sighed: "Little Zhou is really a good child. He made money in business and never forgot the country.

This time, he donated over 7 billion at once. Such a good child, with the country in his heart, we can't let him suffer a loss, right?"

"Hmm?"

Jian Zhao Hongzhang looked at Ye Pu: "What do you mean?"

Ye Pu said with a smile: "The Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Grain, and the All-China Federation of Supply and Marketing Cooperatives have merged and split several times, and there have been constant problems. Mainly, after the initial merger, the provincial and county supply and marketing cooperatives merged with the provincial and county commercial bureaus.

Later, various places summarized the lessons learned from the two splits and two mergers in the past. Most of the supply and marketing cooperatives at the provincial level and below did not merge with state-owned commerce and retained an independent organizational system, so there was the saying that there were no parents above and descendants everywhere below.

With no one to manage them above, they started to have small ideas below. The product quality was uneven, and corruption problems occurred frequently. It has reached the point where reform is inevitable.

And, just after the conference, regarding the spirit of the decision on several issues of the market economic system, Document No. 4 put forward requirements to speed up the formation of the All-China Federation of Supply and Marketing Cooperatives, separate it from the government sequence, and make it truly an economic organization."

Man Man Laoyezi Liu's heart moved: "You mean, let Little Zhou take over the supply and marketing cooperative?"

Ye Pu nodded: "Taking it over completely is definitely not possible, but cooperation is possible."

Man Man Laoyezi Liu shook his head: "If you want Little Zhou to cooperate with the government, you should give up this idea."

"Such a good thing, don't you think he would disagree?" Ye Pu was very disbelieving.

"Heh!" Man Man Laoyezi Liu sneered: "When the China Grain Reserves Corporation was established, he was specially approved to buy shares, but he refused. Do you think he would be interested in letting him cooperate with the supply and marketing cooperative?"

Ye Pu was stunned, and the confidence on his face disappeared: "The supply and marketing cooperative is different from the China Grain Reserves Corporation. He should agree, right?"

"There is no difference." Man Man Laoyezi Liu saw it more clearly than Ye Pu: "A shopping mall in Jinghua wanted to cooperate with RT-Mart, but he refused and demanded an acquisition.

Don't you understand yet? He doesn't want to cooperate with the government. To put it nicely, he is afraid of trouble; to put it bluntly, he doesn't trust the government."

Ye Pu looked at Jian Zhao Hongzhang: "What do you think?"

How could Jian Zhao Hongzhang not understand Zhou Andong, but he really hoped that Zhou Andong could take over the supply and marketing cooperative.

"Wait until he comes, and ask him."

"Grandpa, I'm here."

As soon as Jian Zhao Hongzhang's voice fell, Zhou Andong's shouting came from outside.

In Courtyard No. 6, besides old guys like Ye Pu, the only one who had the privilege to shout loudly was Zhou Andong.

"Hmm?" As soon as Zhou Andong entered the study, he saw Ye Pu and Man Man Laoyezi Liu: "Hello, two grandpas."

Ye Pu said with a smile: "Boss Zhou, why are you so polite today?"

"That's what you said, old man." Zhou Andong had a look of grievance: "I have always been quite polite. Not to mention respecting the old and loving the young, I often help old men and old ladies cross the road on the street."

"You kid!" Man Man Laoyezi Liu pointed at Zhou Andong and then laughed out loud.

Zhou Andong chuckled and asked Jian Zhao Hongzhang: "Grandpa, what's the matter with finding me?"
