Chapter 853

Zhang Jianquan smacked his lips: "This matter is a bit difficult to handle; how should I describe Mu Dequan? Using the words 'full of integrity' to describe him is not an exaggeration at all.

Also, the feeling he gives me is that he has no desires and no demands. The presidents of the First and Second Construction companies ride in Audi 100s and Nissan Bluebirds, while Mu Dequan's car is a Santana that was phased out by the city."

Zhou Andong said with a smile: "Didn't you used to be like that too? You didn't even have a phased-out Santana to ride in."

"It's different!" Zhang Jianquan shook his head, "That's because our company had no money, and the employees couldn't even afford to eat; it was good enough that I had a bicycle to ride.

However, Qi City Third Construction, whether it's talent, equipment, or funds, the First and Second Construction companies can't compare to them. And their leadership is relatively simple, but the employees' wages are higher than those of the First and Second Construction companies."

Speaking of this, Zhang Jianquan sighed: "Full of integrity, no desires and no demands; such people are the hardest to deal with."

"Are there really people in this world with no desires and no demands?" Zhou Andong smiled: "I don't believe it; no matter how upright or great a person is, there will be things they want to pursue in their hearts. As long as you figure it out, it's equivalent to pinching their weak spot."

"The night before last, Mu Dequan invited me to dinner, and he told me about something." Zhang Jianquan thought for a moment: "He told me that after he returned from studying in St. Petersburg, he was arrested that very night.

Because at that time, we were at odds with the Soviet Union, and we criticized the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia on a large scale, putting the hat of social imperialism on the Soviet Union, which caused the relationship between the two countries to turn completely.

His return just happened to give some people a target to vent on, and they used every means to torture him, making him admit to treason and colluding with the enemy.

Just when he felt he couldn't hold on anymore and wanted to die, several hundred employees of the Third Engineering Office, the predecessor of the Third Construction company, grabbed him back.

Several hundred employees huddled together, and even the leaders above were afraid of a big mess and didn't dare to confront them hard, finally compromising, and he escaped the disaster.

Because of this matter, several leaders of the engineering office at that time were dealt with. Later, during the reform, the Third Engineering Office became the Third Construction Company, and he, the office director, also became the general manager.

At that time, he swore that he must let all the employees have enough to eat, let them live a good life, and let every family become a ten-thousand-yuan household."

"Clap!"

Zhou Andong snapped his fingers: "Then we will make an issue out of the employees."

Zhang Jianquan asked: "How to make an issue?"

Zhou Andong thought for a while: "You don't go back for now; anyway, things at home are on the right track, and whether you go back or not doesn't make much difference. But this is the first war we've fought since coming out, and it must be fought well.

You stay behind, establish a branch company, and recruit personnel. Take this opportunity to contact Mu Dequan more and chat with him. If the Third Construction employees buy houses, you can give them preferential treatment, give them more discounts, and make it ten or twenty yuan cheaper per square meter.

Anyway, you just contact him more, and when the feelings are in place, you can probe his thoughts. Doesn't he want the employees to live a good life and have every family become a ten-thousand-yuan household? As long as he agrees to the acquisition, I will give the employees shares."

"Alright!" Zhang Jianquan nodded, then looked at Zhou Andong, his eyes becoming brighter and brighter.

Zhou Andong felt a chill run down his spine from being looked at: "What are you looking at? If you have something to say, just say it."

Zhang Jianquan was not young, and his personality was very upright, but now facing Zhou Andong, the flattering smile on his face was like a child begging for a lollipop.

"If Mu Dequan agrees to the acquisition, the Third Construction employees can get shares, what about our First Construction employees? They aren't raised by a stepmother, so shouldn't you treat everyone equally?"

Zhou Andong smiled and pointed at Zhang Jianquan: "You don't need to say this; I already have plans. When Yuxi Real Estate goes public, you, First Construction, as a wholly-owned subsidiary, will take out a portion of the shares for employees to subscribe to."

Zhang Jianquan asked: "Like the winery employees, do the employees only have the right to dividends and no right to trade these shares?"

"Correct!" Zhou Andong nodded.

"Done!" Zhang Jianquan slapped his thigh excitedly, "As long as you have these words, my heart is finally at ease."

Zhou Andong didn't pay any more attention to him and turned into the house. No matter what, Meng Tong Huai Zhi and Zhao Jin had come, and as the host, he couldn't keep them hanging there forever.

"Leader!" Zhou Andong took out cigarettes and took the initiative to light them for Meng Tong Huai Zhi and Zhao Jin: "What needed to be discussed has been discussed, and the contract has been signed; we must hurry up with the compensation and relocation work, and the demolition must be completed before the Spring Festival this year, and construction will start next spring."

Meng Tong Huai Zhi said: "After signing the contract yesterday afternoon, I convened a meeting, and the working group will go down today to discuss compensation and relocation work."

Zhou Andong nodded: "I am very optimistic about our cooperation this time, and even more optimistic about the future development of Qi City. Not only will Yuxi Real Estate build a branch in Qi City, but the Yuxi Construction under its umbrella will also build a branch."

"Welcome!" Zhao Jin said happily: "As long as you come, we welcome you with both hands, and the city will satisfy your requirements with the greatest sincerity."

Zhou Andong smiled, but this smile looked a bit crafty, with the smugness of a thief who had succeeded in stealing.

"There are no big requirements, I just want to acquire a construction company."

Meng Tong Huai Zhi's heart skipped a beat; this kid wouldn't be eyeing Third Construction, would he?

He thought this simply because, although First and Second Construction were also good, Third Construction had more advantages in terms of talent and equipment.

Especially Mu Dequan; in the past few years, the Provincial Construction company had come to poach people more than once, but Mu Dequan had never agreed.

Therefore, Zhou Andong wanting to acquire a construction company, the possibility of it being Third Construction was the greatest.

Zhao Jin also reacted, wishing he could sew his own mouth shut.

"What a coincidence." Zhao Jin said with a smile: "First and Second Construction are exploring reform; if Chairman Zhou is interested in acquisition, whether it's First or Second Construction, or packaging them together, we can talk."

Zhao Jin didn't mention Third Construction, just to block Zhou Andong's mouth, reminding him, don't even think about acquiring Third Construction, don't even mention it.

To give an analogy, if Third Construction was the biological son, First and Second Construction were the ones picked up, and the kind that were especially disliked.

If Zhou Andong wanted to acquire a construction company, First and Second Construction could be discussed, but Third Construction was absolutely not allowed.

But he still didn't understand Zhou Andong, and didn't know that the thickness of this guy's face exceeded his imagination.

"Isn't that a coincidence!" Zhou Andong slapped his thigh, "Isn't that a coincidence, the one I'm most interested in is Third Construction."
