Chapter 2265: Lies Come Out of the Mouth

Gu Bing said with a smile: "I said don't come to the factory, you'd definitely be recognized. Look, I was right."

Zhou Andong took a puff of his cigarette. He was wearing sunglasses and a hat not because he was afraid of being recognized, but to avoid trouble.

In any case, he, Zhou Andong, was considered a celebrity and was about to serve as the factory director of the Woolen Mill.

If he were recognized coming here, there would definitely be a lot of trouble, and rumors might even spread.

Looking at the group of people walking over, Gu Bing continued: "That middle-aged man is the Executive Vice Mayor, Wang Jianmin!"

"Brother!" Zhou Qianyi came to Zhou Andong: "You're here, why didn't you tell me in advance?"

"I didn't come to find you."

Zhou Andong said unhappily. Although he wasn't afraid of being recognized, he was afraid of trouble.

Look, the middle-aged man beside Zhou Qianyi, and the large group standing behind.

"Mayor Wang, hello!" Zhou Andong reached out enthusiastically: "I have long wanted to pay you a visit, but I haven't had the time. I just didn't expect to meet you here, and under such a big sun."

Wang Jianmin laughed loudly: "As everyone knows, Chairman Zhou is not only a business genius but also has unique insights into macroeconomics. Therefore, I have also been thinking about meeting Chairman Zhou to chat about the economy and the development of Beijing."

Zhou Andong said modestly: "Leader, you praise me. Speaking of doing business, I do have some talent, but speaking of macroeconomics, I really don't understand it at all."

"Chairman Zhou is too modest." Wang Jianmin said very seriously: "Business is an important part of macroeconomics, and the two are mutually influential and interactive."

Business activities are an important driving force for economic growth, involving production, distribution, exchange, and consumption, and are the foundation of the national economy.

The macroeconomic environment provides the basic framework and conditions for business activities. The impact of the business environment on economic growth is at the micro level, but it has an important global impact.

Changes in macroeconomics, such as GDP growth rate, inflation rate, monetary policy, and fiscal policy, will all have a profound impact on business activities.

For example, when economic growth slows down, companies may reduce investment and recruitment, and consumers may cut spending, which may lead to a decline in business sales.

Conversely, when economic conditions improve, the confidence of companies and consumers increases, which may increase investment and consumption, thereby promoting the prosperity of business activities..."

Hearing Wang Jianmin's words, Zhou Andong had to sigh that Wang Jianmin really had a high level. One must know that in this era, there are not many leaders with such knowledge and learning. No wonder Wang Jianmin sat in the position of Executive Vice Mayor of Beijing just after turning fifty.

Wang Jianmin's smile remained undiminished: "Since I ran into Chairman Zhou here, I can't just let you go. I must find a place, I'll be the host, let's have a good drink."

What else could Zhou Andong say? He could only say: "When I got up this morning, I heard magpies calling in the courtyard. At that time, I was thinking, there is no happy event at home today.

I didn't expect that the good thing would be fulfilled at the Woolen Mill, and I actually ran into you, Mayor Wang. Now, even if you drive me away, I won't leave. I must have a few drinks with you."

Gu Bing listened from the side and just curled his lip. This guy, no matter who he is facing, lies come out of his mouth without even a pause. He felt a bit anxious for Jian Qiu; Zhou Andong didn't have a single true word in his mouth, and his silly younger sister would be tricked around.

"Leader, let me introduce you." Zhou Andong pointed to Gu Bing: "Gu Bing, who is about to serve as the Party Committee Secretary of the Woolen Mill."

Wang Jianmin had never met Gu Bing, but he had a detailed understanding of Zhou Andong, and this former Party Committee Secretary of the Jiangzhou Winery, Gu Bing, naturally entered his line of sight. After understanding, he knew that Gu Bing was also a direct descendant of the Gu family.

And in all of China, there are thousands of people named Gu Bing. The one who can be with Zhou Andong and let Zhou Andong introduce him so solemnly is only this direct descendant of the Gu family.

Gu Bing reached out his hand first, his tone neither humble nor arrogant: "Mayor Wang, hello!"

Wang Jianmin said with great emotion: "It really is young and promising. Think about when I was at your age, I was still struggling at the grassroots level."

This is Wang Jianmin's sincere words. Zhou Andong is 28, Gu Bing is 32, and they are already at the department level. Thinking about it makes one feel terrified. When they reach fifty, what height will they reach? It's unimaginable.

"Leader, this is Hu Lan, the deputy section chief of the Publicity Section of the Jinshiguang Fashion Factory under the Woolen Mill!" Zhou Andong enthusiastically introduced Hu Lan to Wang Jianmin, and then added: "She is also the sister-in-law of my younger brother's wife. We are real relatives!"

Hu Lan was shocked in her heart. She didn't expect Zhou Andong to introduce her to Mayor Wang so solemnly. She tried to restrain her inner nervousness, squeezed a smile on her face, and greeted respectfully: "Hello, Mayor Wang!"

Wang Jianmin smiled and looked Hu Lan up and down, then responded with great emotion: "So it's a young cadre from our Woolen Mill.

Young is good, full of vigor and vitality, daring to think and practice, and has a drive to move forward. I firmly believe that the future world will belong to young people like you.

Of course, I also firmly believe that under the leadership of young leaders like Comrade Zhou Andong and Comrade Gu Bing, the Woolen Mill will definitely become vibrant, radiate vitality, and reproduce its past glory!"

Zhou Andong's mouth twitched. This Executive Vice Mayor Wang is also a good bluffer, and he has a very high level, comparable to him.

Then, Zhou Andong introduced Hu Lan and Zhou Qianyi to each other, then raised his head, squinting his eyes at the scorching sun hanging in the sky, the sunlight stinging his eyes so he couldn't open them.

"Mayor Wang, let's not stand under this big sun and chat. It makes people dizzy. Let's find a place to sit down and chat while drinking?"

"This is possible!" Wang Jianmin nodded, then turned his gaze to his secretary Duan Jiangbin standing behind him and ordered: "Little Duan, call Wang Kuiwu at the guesthouse and say that I invite Chairman Zhou to drink. Let him arrange it, and the time is set for half an hour later."

"Okay!"

Duan Jiangbin responded, then turned around, strode toward the factory gate, and came to the duty room.

There was a little girl in the duty room. Seeing Duan Jiangbin knock on the door and come in, she hurriedly stood up.

"Secretary Duan!"

Just a few days ago, this little girl didn't know what Mayor Wang looked like, let alone Duan Jiangbin, this secretary.

But in the past few days, Wang Jianmin came to the factory every day. She didn't know him, but naturally, someone did, so she was no longer a stranger to Duan Jiangbin, this mayor's secretary.

"I'm borrowing the phone." Duan Jiangbin asked very politely: "Can I make a call?"

"Yes, yes!" The little girl nodded her head repeatedly, then grabbed the receiver and handed it to Duan Jiangbin.

This amused Duan Jiangbin. He took the phone, quickly dialed a string of numbers, and connected to the office phone of Wang Kuiwu at the municipal government guesthouse.

This was not an official banquet, but an invitation issued by Mayor Wang in his private capacity, so the private room naturally didn't need to be too luxurious and spacious, as long as it could accommodate ten or so people.

Of course, the arrangement of food and drink is also particular. It cannot be too expensive, lest it be criticized for extravagance and waste. But it cannot be too simple, otherwise, it will make people feel a lack of sincerity. In short, everything must be just right.

"Chairman Zhou, Chairman Gu, get in my car." Wang Jianmin invited Zhou Andong and Gu Bing to get in his car.

Zhou Andong agreed, then said to Hu Lan: "Sister-in-law, you get in Qianyi's car, we'll go together to sponge a drink from Mayor Wang."

Wang Jianmin laughed loudly: "As long as you have enough drinking capacity, you can drink as much as you want here."

Zhou Andong also laughed, opened the passenger door: "Old Gu, you accompany Mayor Wang to chat in the back, I'll sit in the front!"

It was inappropriate for Wang Jianmin, this Executive Vice Mayor, to squeeze in with them, and it was even more impossible for Wang Jianmin to sit in the passenger seat, so Zhou Andong took the initiative to open the passenger door.

"How can that be? Mayor Wang must have many questions to communicate with you. I'll just be a listener."

Just at this moment, Gu Bing's IQ occupied the high ground with lightning speed. Wang Jianmin, as a mayor, would definitely talk about some economic topics, which he didn't understand at all. He had self-knowledge.

Once Wang Jianmin talked about something he didn't understand, if he couldn't answer, it would be too awkward, and it would also make Wang Jianmin look down on him. He wouldn't do such a thing.

Zhou Andong really didn't think about it this way. After all, Gu Bing was about to serve as the Party Committee Secretary of the Woolen Mill, so it was normal for him to accompany Wang Jianmin to sit in the back row and communicate.

However, after Gu Bing refused, Zhou Andong also immediately understood his thoughts.

"Since that's the case, then I'll accompany the leader in the back."

Zhou Andong turned and came to the back, opened the door and got in.

Gu Bing also breathed a sigh of relief and sat in the passenger seat.

The driver stepped lightly on the accelerator and slowly drove away from the parking space. Zhou Andong felt very emotional in his heart; he was worthy of being a leader's driver, the car was driven very steadily.

"Chairman Zhou!" Wang Jianmin started to speak: "I also want to thank you for taking care of my daughter."

Zhou Andong was full of doubts: "Your daughter?"

"My daughter is named Wang Hui!" Wang Jianmin said with a smile: "She is now the general manager of Jinghua Electric."

Zhou Andong suddenly realized, and then followed with a smile: "I count as borrowing the employee's blessing to climb your high branch."

Wang Jianmin laughed loudly. He is a person with strong principles. If he hadn't run into Zhou Andong today, he naturally wouldn't have specifically contacted him to talk about this. Now that he had run into him, for the sake of his daughter, he could be considered to have thrown away his old face.

"The Jiangzhou Textile Factory acquired 10% of the shares of the Woolen Mill for 260 million, and we will sign the contract tomorrow."

Zhou Andong was silent for a while, then sighed: "Leader, the valuation of the Woolen Mill is 2.35 billion. We spent 260 million for 10% of the shares, a premium of 25 million.

You should know in your heart that we are not stupid, nor do we have too much money and nowhere to spend it. With this 25 million, wouldn't it be better for me to build a few more Hope Primary Schools?"

"I understand what you mean, and I understand your concerns." Wang Jianmin tilted his head and looked at Zhou Andong: "However, you can rest assured completely. This matter has the endorsement of the central authorities.

In addition, we will sign the contract tomorrow. Director Huang Yimin will represent the SASAC, and I will represent the Beijing Municipal Government to sign the contract with the Jiangzhou Textile Factory. So, you don't have to worry about any trouble in the future."

Zhou Andong pondered and said: "Enterprise reform, in terms of economy, optimizes the local economic structure and strengthens local strength. In terms of enterprises, it establishes a modern enterprise system and adds vitality to enterprises. In terms of employees, it establishes a new type of labor relationship so that the masses can get real benefits.

Taking Guangdong Province as an example, many state-owned enterprise reforms have not only progressed smoothly and the situation is stable, but more importantly, most enterprises have reformed and produced at the same time. Reform has replaced identities, revitalized assets, converted mechanisms, reorganized property rights, vitality has burst forth, potential has appeared, and reform has expanded opening up, brought in projects, and promoted development.

Before the reform, some enterprises in Guangdong Province had small and complete assets, small and scattered, divided and dispersed, and their respective strengths were not strong. And there were many personnel, the stall was large, and the burden was heavy.

In addition, enterprises did not truly form a substantive property rights constraint mechanism, the corporate governance structure was not perfect, the system and mechanism were outdated, management was relatively extensive, and enterprise development was slow.

Through the reform, enterprises have achieved three historical transformations. First, through property rights reform and the conversion of employee identities, enterprises have achieved diversification of property rights, and employees and restructured enterprises have established new labor relations, laying the foundation for establishing a new modern enterprise system.

Second, the idea and pattern of optimal development and industrial extension and comprehensive development have basically freed enterprises from the predicament of overly dispersed industries, shed their burdens, and started lightly..."

Zhou Andong said softly. Guangdong Province is the forefront of reform and opening up and the region with the fastest development. How could Wang Jianmin not understand their successful experience? He is still studying it now. But Zhou Andong was talking, so he listened very seriously because he knew very well in his heart that what was said before was definitely not the key point. Sure enough, he heard Zhou Andong change the subject.

"However, in the reform of state-owned enterprises in Guangdong Province, a severe and realistic problem has also been encountered, that is, the unclear property rights of state-owned assets, information asymmetry, and unsound transaction standard systems, resulting in the cheap sale of state-owned assets, or even loss, and being taken away by people with empty gloves and white wolves.

"However, in the restructuring of state-owned enterprises, Guangdong Province has also encountered a severe and realistic problem: the property rights of state-owned assets are unclear, information is asymmetric, and transaction regulation systems are unsound, resulting in state-owned assets being sold off cheaply or even lost, and being taken away by people playing 'empty-glove white wolf' schemes."

"Then these people become rich overnight, taking the stolen money to buy luxury cars and mansions, eating lobster and abalone, frequenting high-end establishments, and throwing thousands of dollars at fallen women, yet they are unwilling to spare a single cent for the needy who truly need help."

Wang Jianmin frowned tightly. This kind of problem was not discovered in the process of his research on Guangdong's enterprise reform. However, thinking about it, it is also very normal.

Selling state-owned assets cheaply and encroaching on state-owned assets are things that must be done in hiding. Only some things that can see the light will be placed on the table for you to see. ===== CHAPTER 2266 =====
