Chapter 2081

The old man breathed a sigh of relief, and his hanging heart finally landed. He was really afraid that Zhou Andong would refuse.

After all, the scale of the Wool Textile Factory and BAIC was too large and too important, and the internal interpersonal relationships were even more intricate and complicated.

In such a big country, there are many capable people, but if you want the Wool Textile Factory and BAIC to be reborn, having ability is far from enough; you must also have enough wisdom, courage, and boldness.

Otherwise, no matter how strong your ability is, if you are timid in doing things, you cannot achieve anything, and you are even very likely to be assimilated in the end.

Therefore, there is a more critical point, which is trust. So, not only the old man, but even Man Man Laoyezi Ye and Man Man Laoyezi Liu believed that Zhou Andong was the most suitable.

Because this kid, besides not lacking ability, wisdom, courage, boldness, and means, was also very, very cunning. These old guys had all suffered losses. Another thing was that this kid had money, so there was no need to worry about him being bought or pulled over by others.

So, they believed that as long as Zhou Andong agreed, no matter if he went to BAIC or the Wool Textile Factory, he would definitely be able to break the old hidden rules, truly realize the goals of reform and development, and let the enterprise be reborn.

"If you have any requirements, you can bring them up."

Zhou Andong lit a cigarette and leaned back: "You can't let me work for nothing. If you want the horse to run, you have to feed the horse."

The old man laughed: "How much salary do you want?"

"Salary?" Zhou Andong said very arrogantly: "You actually mention salary to me. How much can you give me? Thousands, tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands?

I don't do anything now, just lying at home, and my daily income is more than hundreds of thousands. Do you think how much salary is appropriate for me? Millions, or tens of millions? Do you think I care?"

The old man's fingers moved, holding back the urge to smoke him, and took a deep breath.

"Then what do you want?"

"Shares!"

Zhou Andong smoked leisurely, looking at the expression on the old man's face without any change, and then continued.

"I don't want too much, and I don't need to control it. About twenty percent is fine. Of course, it's not my personal investment, but the Jiangzhou Textile Factory."

The old man raised his eyebrows: "What is your relationship with the Jiangzhou Textile Factory?"

Zhou Andong laughed: "You also know that in Wanwan, I have a third grandfather who is the founder of the Jinwan Group. The Jiangzhou Textile Factory went bankrupt, and Mayor Deng Zhangli found me and asked me to buy the textile factory, mainly for the stomachs of more than 10,000 employees.

Then I called my third grandfather's little aunt and little uncle to Jiangzhou, and the three of us invested together to acquire the Jiangzhou Textile Factory. So, only if the Jiangzhou Textile Factory gets the shares of the Wool Textile Factory can my going to the Wool Textile Factory be justified."

The old man frowned: "I can consider this matter. Do you have any other requirements? Bring them up together."

"There is also people." Zhou Andong bent down, picked up the ashtray, put it on his lap, and flicked the ash: "The Wool Textile Factory has a history of nearly a hundred years. After the founding of the country, it was highly valued by the Party and the government, and many leaders have visited it.

It can be said that the scale is huge and the foundation is deep. Those who can be appointed to serve as leaders there will not have shallow backgrounds. So, I want to take a helper with me, otherwise, there will be no one to use, and it will not be easy to open up the situation."

"Do you have a candidate?" The old man agreed to this requirement very readily: "If not, I can arrange it for you."

"If you arrange someone for me, of course I am willing, but..." Zhou Andong shook his head slightly again: "Unfamiliar people need time to run in, which is too time-consuming."

The old man was not surprised. Since this kid put forward the requirement, he must have a candidate in his heart.

"Since you have a candidate, tell me the name and work."

Zhou Andong grinned: "His name is Gu Bing. He was previously the Party Secretary of Jiangzhou Winery and is now the General Manager and Factory Director of the Brave to the End of the World Beer Factory."

The old man's eyes twitched wildly, and Seeing Jian Qiu stared at Zhou Andong, gnashing her teeth and saying:

"Are you trying to pit him again?"

"Wife, I really don't like what you said." Zhou Andong looked aggrieved: "According to your logic, Grandpa asked me to go to the Wool Textile Factory, isn't that also pitting me?

Besides, Gu Bing is my brother-in-law. I wouldn't pit anyone, let alone him. I'm taking him to the Wool Textile Factory to help him, so he can go home with his head held high."

"Have you pitted him less?" Seeing Jian Qiu snorted and didn't say anything more.

The old man asked: "What position do you want Gu Bing to hold?"

Zhou Andong took a puff: "Of course, Party Secretary. This is his old profession, and he will definitely be handy in doing it."

The old man tapped the table rhythmically with his fingers, pondered for a while, and then slowly opened his mouth: "Hmm... let Gu Bing serve as Party Secretary, you serve as Factory Director, and concurrently serve as Deputy Party Secretary—that's fine."

Zhou Andong stood up and helped Seeing Jian Qiu up: "Can we go now?"

The old man was very surprised. He looked at Zhou Andong and asked suspiciously: "That's it? You don't have any other requirements?"

"No more!" Zhou Andong waved his hand and said very generously: "For the country, for the people, I am willing to work until my heart stops beating. How could I make any other requirements?"

Seeing Jian Qiu on the side really couldn't watch anymore and couldn't help saying: "Can you still want some face?"

Zhou Andong laughed: "This is already the way I say it that is relatively face-saving."

The old man couldn't help laughing, but there was a hint of helplessness in his laughter, and finally he said earnestly:

"I believe you will definitely have the ability to lead the Wool Textile Factory out of its current predicament and realize new development and prosperity."

Hearing the old man's words, Zhou Andong immediately puffed out his chest and patted his chest confidently: "Grandpa, you can rest assured. As long as I arrive at the Wool Textile Factory, fighting tigers and slaughtering dragons will be a piece of cake!"

After leaving the old man's office, Seeing Jian Qiu blinked her big eyes and asked suspiciously: "You took Gu Bing to the Wool Textile Factory and let him be the Party Secretary, did you really not pit him?"

"Wife, where is the trust? Is there no trust between husband and wife?" Zhou Andong looked aggrieved, "Is this how you see your man?"

Seeing Jian Qiu curled her lips: "Have you done fewer bad things?"

Zhou Andong snorted lightly: "As a department-level cadre, I won't argue with a woman like you who has long hair and short knowledge."

And at this time, Comrade Gu Bing was driving a speedboat, galloping on the Jiangzhou River, not knowing that his life had been arranged again.

"In front, the water flow there is relatively stable, there should be a lot of fish."

The speaker was Zhou Yu, with a fishing rod at his feet. I don't know how these two guys got together, but they looked very familiar.
