Chapter 2123: New Type of Pipe (4000 words)

Jian Qiu laughed: "My man is a person standing at the crest of the tide. No matter how solid the Yin family's city wall is, one wave down, and they'll be stunned."

Zhou Andong said unhappily: "Still standing at the crest of the tide; aren't you afraid your man will be drowned?"

"I know my man's swimming skills."

Jian Qiu rubbed her head on Zhou Andong's shoulder, and a smile gradually appeared on her face, looking very sweet and happy.

"Back then, the pond at the Jiangzhou Winery wasn't big, but the water wasn't shallow. In the end, weren't those stinky fish and rotten shrimp hidden inside fished out and placed on the dining table?

And over at Ganjiang, the Fan family's walls were high and thick, right? What happened in the end? My man didn't take action, and they were high and mighty. After my man took action, didn't the houses collapse and the roofs cave in?

So, I believe in you. You will definitely be able to perfectly complete the reform of the Woolen Textile Mill and level the Yin family's mountain-topism. As for Yin Mingsheng, if he is a smart person, he will definitely vigorously support the development of the Yugong Group.

If he has water in his brain and wants to use the Yugong Group to contain your reform of the Woolen Textile Mill, then we don't need to stay in Liaoning Province. As long as we let out the word, the provinces that want to have the Yugong Group settle down will all break their heads."

Speaking of this, Jian Qiu sneered: "The Yin family's hands are indeed very big, but they haven't reached the point of covering the sky with one hand."

Zhou Andong sucked his teeth, then could only sigh helplessly. Actually, he wasn't worried about anything.

He belonged to being driven to the ducks' shelf, and didn't want to have any development in his official career. If the reform succeeded, that was best; if it didn't succeed, he would pat his butt and leave, which wouldn't have any impact on him. He just found those dog-fart-messy things troublesome.

You say, if you run the plant well, make the products well, increase sales, pay the workers a bit more, let the workers have houses to live in, meat to eat, and clothes to wear, wouldn't the leader's performance come? Still afraid of not being able to get promoted and get rich?

But they are short-sighted, staring at their own one-acre-three-fen land all day, engaging in mountain-topism, treating the plant as their private property, very afraid of others coming to snatch it. Damn it, can this still run an enterprise well?

"Sigh!" Zhou Andong sighed again: "Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover; let's just deal with it."

"Virtue!"

Jian Qiu said with a smile. She didn't have a good impression of the Yin family, but she had never underestimated the Yin family.

But she was truly full of confidence in Zhou Andong, mainly because her man's battle record was there.

No matter how big your Yin family's hands are, my man can also pick your hand tendons and cripple you.

"Beep—beep beep—"

The right side of the Rifeng plant's front gate was blocked by queuing trucks, and there were quite a few engineering vehicles going in and out on the left side.

Wang Wentian was preparing to enter on the left side when a muck truck drove from the opposite direction, its horn blaring loudly, telling Wang Wentian to reverse.

"Wentian, reverse; let him come out first."

Wang Wentian was just preparing to reverse when he saw a figure rush out of the guard room and kick the muck truck's door with a flying kick.

"Are you blind, damn it? Honking randomly, didn't you see that's the Chairman's car? Let your captain come over. If you don't want to do this job, get the hell out."

The car door was kicked with a loud "bang," which gave the driver a fright. Immediately after, being scolded as "blind" by the guard, his anger flared up.

But when he heard that the Mercedes-Benz in front of him was the Rifeng Chairman's car, he shivered and instantly calmed down, hurriedly reversing to yield the road.

He wasn't a person with a good temper. In another place, if he didn't beat this guard until he knelt on the ground and called him "Daddy," he would change his surname to the guard's.

But here, no matter how big his temper was, he had to be well-behaved. Not to mention the car door being kicked, even if the car was smashed, he had to take it.

Because he knew that the Rifeng plant's Chairman was Zhou Andong. If it were just the Rifeng plant expansion project, losing it would be losing it; his brother-in-law, who was a captain, wasn't a vegetarian.

But their company also undertook the Xiangjiang Qiudongfang headquarters building and the Chaoyang high-end residential project. He also heard that the company invested another 20 million to purchase equipment and vehicles, preparing to undertake another part of the urban complex project.

If he offended Zhou Andong because of this and lost all these projects, he didn't know what his result would be, but he knew his brother-in-law, who was a captain, would definitely be very miserable.

Seeing that the other side had yielded the road, Wang Wentian drove the car in.

"Hello, Chairman!"

Zhou Andong waved his hand with a smile. The guard turned around excitedly and ran into the guard room, grabbed the phone, and notified the plant leaders.

Wang Wentian parked the car under the office building. Zhou Andong and Jian Qiu got out of the car. There were quite a few cars in the courtyard, almost all of them trucks coming to load goods.

And the newly built plant buildings in the distance had already been put into use, and several more were rising from the ground—a scene of busyness.

"Haven't been here for a year; the plant expansion is so big, the development is fast enough."

Jian Qiu moved her waist and twisted it gently: "Gao Zhen has reported to me several times about the work at the Rifeng plant."

Zhou Andong asked: "Why didn't you tell me?"

Jian Qiu snorted: "You, Chairman Zhou, are busy with ten thousand things; where would you put the life or death of this small plant in your heart?"

"Speak nicely." Zhou Andong said with dissatisfaction: "Yin and yang weird."

Jian Qiu curled her lip. Just as she was about to say something else, she saw Gao Zhen, Peng Lin, and Zhou Wang come out of the office building, followed by a large group of people, men and women, all looking very young, with the oldest definitely not over forty.

"Chairman, Sister-in-law!"

Gao Zhen shouted happily, and immediately after, the others greeted them one after another.

Of course, only Gao Zhen could call her "Sister-in-law," while the others naturally had to call her "Chairman Jian."

Gao Zhen introduced the middle and high-level leaders of the Rifeng plant behind him, and Zhou Andong shook hands with them one by one.

"Why are you all so together, coming down at once? Are you having a meeting?"

"Right!" Peng Lin said with a smile: "Yesterday we received a call from Professor Qu of Sun Yat-sen University. The polybutene pipe experiment is complete: non-toxic, odorless, cold-resistant, heat-resistant, pressure-resistant, rust-free, corrosion-resistant, and scale-free, with very extensive uses. So today we held a middle and high-level meeting to study the promotion."

Peng Lin said with great emotion: "In May, when President Gao came back from Guangzhou, he made the decision to produce polybutene new type of pipes, build plant buildings, and purchase equipment.

At that time, we were all very happy, but when he said that this new type of pipe was still in R&D, let alone experiments, it made everyone at a loss.

Then President Gao said this was your intention, so naturally we wouldn't oppose it, but our hearts were beating like drums, with a budget of 38 million for plant buildings and equipment.

If there was a problem with this new type of pipe and the experiment didn't pass, our plant would have worked in vain for a year. When we received Professor Qu's call yesterday, everyone finally felt relieved. At the same time, we truly felt admiration for your vision and courage, Chairman."

Peng Lin was poached from BAIC back then and was now the Vice Plant Director in charge of technology, which could be considered a veteran.

Zhou Andong smiled: "I see there are plant buildings over there that have already been built. Is that the production workshop for the new type of pipes?"

"No!" Gao Zhen said: "Those that have already been built and put into use over there are all radiator production workshops. Even so, production can't keep up, and it's two shifts a day."

Zhou Andong nodded: "Let's go over and take a look."

Jian Qiu said lazily: "You guys go; I won't go."

Gao Zhen hurriedly said: "Go to my office to rest."

Jian Qiu waved her hand: "It's windy today, and it's cooler outside. It's no problem to stay here for a while."

At this time, a little girl ran back with sharp eyes to move a chair and placed it in the shade of the office building wall.

"Chairman Jian, sit!"

"Thank you!" Jian Qiu said thank you and sat down slowly.

"Let's go!" Zhou Andong greeted and walked toward the new plant area: "The Rifeng plant's development is so fast, which exceeded my expectations. Plant expansion is imperative.

Therefore, the current area of the Rifeng plant is too small. You must negotiate with the district as soon as possible. Whether it's carving out a piece of land next to the existing plant area or finding a piece elsewhere to give to us, we must implement this matter as soon as possible.

Currently, in urban construction, the water supply systems all use galvanized steel pipes. After a year or two, the coating will fall off, causing the inner wall of the pipe to corrode and pollute the water quality.

And this polybutene new type of pipe doesn't just have the characteristics of being cold-resistant, heat-resistant, pressure-resistant, rust-free, corrosion-resistant, and scale-free; it also has the characteristics of being lightweight, easy to install, low noise during medium transmission, and low pressure loss.

In addition, it has strong resistance to ultraviolet rays and microbial invasion, and can keep the water stored in it from deteriorating for a long time. During the construction process, it has the characteristics of being easy to operate, using simple tools, and having low labor intensity.

Therefore, within the next five to six years, in urban construction water supply systems, galvanized steel pipes will definitely be replaced by this polybutene new type of pipe..."

Everyone was very excited to hear Zhou Andong's words, especially Peng Lin: "So, this new type of pipe can be used not only for floor heating, but also in urban construction water supply systems."

"Right!"

Zhou Andong took out a cigarette and lit it, then handed the more than half pack of cigarettes to Gao Zhen, telling him to distribute them.

"You guys contact Professor Qu immediately and let them develop a kind of cold water pipe. Developing this kind of cold water pipe on the existing technology is not a difficult thing. I estimate that if you call today, there might be a result tomorrow."

Gao Zhen asked with confusion: "Can't this heat-resistant pipe be used to connect cold water pipes?"

"Of course it can." Zhou Andong said with a smile: "The cost of cold water pipes is definitely lower than heat-resistant ones. The market for this new type of pipe is too big. If it's used in urban water supply systems, using heat-resistant pipes would just increase costs, and there's no need."

Gao Zhen nodded: "I'll call Professor Qu this afternoon."

Zhou Andong said thoughtfully: "If you guys can put it into production here within a month, the Xiangjiang Qiudongfang headquarters building, the Chaoyang high-end residential area, and the urban complex will all use your new type of pipes."

It wasn't just Gao Zhen; everyone was full of energy as soon as they heard this, and everyone's face was flushed with excitement.

"Of course it's true." Zhou Andong puffed on his cigarette: "But now, the foundations for the Xiangjiang Qiudongfang headquarters building, the Chaoyang high-end residential area, and the urban complex phase one project have all been finished.

The frames for the high-end residential project have already risen four or five stories. The main water supply and drainage pipes definitely can't use the new type of pipes, but the internal water supply and drainage pipes can be used."

Everyone nodded one after another. It's good to have one's own projects; there's no need to rack one's brains to find customers or force a smile. The Chairman's one word is enough.

Zhou Andong also thought of Anqiu Alley. If all those courtyards were acquired, the underground pipe network could be repaired with one's own money, using this new type of pipe.

Accompanied by the leaders of the Rifeng plant, Zhou Andong toured the new workshop and held a short meeting in the conference room.

It was mainly about the construction and future development plan of the Rifeng plant, and then he mentioned handing over the Rifeng plant's business to the Overseas Trust Bank.

At this time, it was already past ten o'clock. Gao Zhen wanted to keep Zhou Andong and Jian Qiu to eat at the plant.

"I have things to do at noon, so I won't eat here." Zhou Andong came to the car and looked at Gao Zhen: "Do your wife and sister-in-law still want to do business?"

Gao Zhen scratched his head: "I thought you forgot about this matter."

Zhou Andong really forgot. He only remembered when he came here and saw Gao Zhen, but how could he admit it?

"I haven't had a moment of peace since the New Year, so I haven't had time to consider your wife's matter."

"She has been nagging me about this matter all along." Gao Zhen said helplessly: "You didn't have any news here, so I thought about getting her a clothing store; that thing doesn't need any technology."

Zhou Andong smiled: "Have you ever eaten at Datang Barbecue?"

"I have!" Gao Zhen looked at Zhou Andong with confusion: "When it first opened, we went to eat. Is it about the same as what you did during the New Year?"

"That's what I did." Zhou Andong laughed out loud: "If your wife insists on doing something, just join Datang Barbecue."

Gao Zhen hesitated: "Opening a restaurant is much more complicated than opening a clothing store. I'm afraid they won't be able to handle it."

"Try it." Zhou Andong checked his watch: "Store selection, decoration design, and staff training are all the responsibility of the headquarters company."

Gao Zhen nodded: "If it's like this, it's worth a try."

"Go back and discuss it with your wife." Zhou Andong opened the car door and got in: "If you agree, go find An Jing at Dicos; you know her too. When the time comes, how big a store is needed, how much to invest, she will give you suggestions."

"Good!" Gao Zhen agreed, watched the car drive out of sight, then turned around and took people into the office building.

……………………………………

Woolen Textile General Mill!

The office of the Executive Vice Plant Director, Jiao Liwei, was very luxurious, about 120 or 130 square meters, and the overall decoration looked very luxurious in this era, with thick woolen carpets laid on the floor.

However, laying carpets was nothing; after all, it was a woolen textile mill, and there were plenty of woolen carpets. As the Executive Vice Plant Director, laying a few carpets in the office was too normal.

And behind the office desk, beside his office chair, there was another door. Pushing this door open was his lounge. If it were just a lounge, it would be nothing.

As the Executive Vice Plant Director of the Woolen Textile Mill, busy with ten thousand things every day, getting a lounge for himself, resting when tired from work, or sleeping in the lounge when working overtime too late, was also very normal.

But what was not normal was that a half-person-high gold Guanyin was placed on the north side of the lounge. It wasn't just painted with gold paint, but was real gold; anyway, it looked very dazzling.

And at this time, Jiao Liwei was respectfully kneeling on a cushion, offering incense to Guanyin, and then respectfully kowtowed three times, muttering something in his mouth, looking quite pious.

Then he stood up and came to a shrine on the other side, where two spirit tablets were placed, with "Hu San Tai Ye" and "Hu San Tai Nai" written on them.

Next, this guy lit three more sticks of incense, held the incense with both hands, bowed respectfully three times, and was still muttering something in his mouth.

Just at this time, the door behind him creaked. Jiao Liwei didn't look back, still standing there respectfully until he finished muttering, then stood up, let out a long breath, and turned around slowly.

"Old Hu, let's go out and talk."

The one who came was the Woolen Textile General Mill Plant Director and Deputy Secretary of the Party Group, Hu Dajun, because no one dared to enter this lounge except Hu Dajun. ===== CHAPTER 2124 =====
