Chapter 130: Deng Hanyu

Deng Hanyu stood at the entrance of Seafood City, looking around anxiously. Behind him, Boss Qian had a smile that wasn't quite a smile, and the large ring on his finger occasionally flashed a dazzling light.

Seeing County Magistrate Liu's car, he ran over, opened the door, bowed his waist, and made a gesture of invitation with a face full of smiles. Seeing me on the side, a look of surprise flew out of his eye sockets, stayed on me for a moment, then turned back, and slammed the car door shut.

I got out from the other side. Seeing me, Boss Qian said with a smile, "Oh, Little Chen cadre is here too."

Just like Deng Hanyu seeing me, County Magistrate Liu's eyes also swept over Deng Hanyu and asked in a low voice, "Who is this?"

Deng Hanyu whispered, "County Magistrate, this is a rich master."

Without too much explanation, and no one continued to pursue it, the group filed into the restaurant. The waitress wore a cheongsam with slits up to her thighs, full of powder and fragrance, and led us into the private room.

After sitting down, Deng Hanyu leaned close to Liu Qimeng's ear, wanting to speak but stopping.

County Magistrate Liu smiled lightly and pointed to me, "You are old classmates, you won't be outsiders. If you have something to say, just say it directly."

Deng Hanyu smiled embarrassedly, "County Magistrate, I have nothing to say that is not good. Since Little Brother Chen is here, it's better to meet than to meet by chance. He is a distinguished guest who is hard to invite even if you want to. In fact, inviting you here today, County Magistrate, is indeed an idea I want you to help me with."

He pointed to Boss Qian and introduced him, "This is the village head of our town's Yuetang Village, and also the boss of Hengyue City's Feima Construction Company, surnamed Qian, called Qian Youyu, Boss Qian."

Boss Qian hurriedly got up, bowed his waist, and walked to County Magistrate Liu, holding County Magistrate Liu's hand tightly with both hands, saying repeatedly, "County Magistrate, County Magistrate, long admired, long admired."

After shaking hands, County Magistrate Liu withdrew his hand and said, "I have long heard of Boss Qian's great name, you can be considered a star enterprise in our Chunshan County. It's a pity that your company is in Hengyue City, and the taxes are collected by the city." After speaking, he laughed and patted the table, asking Secretary Du to hand over his business card.

Boss Qian also hurriedly took out a business card from his body and handed it to County Magistrate Liu respectfully, then turned his head and handed me one.

Boss Qian's business card was printed very exquisitely. His name was obviously gold-plated, and the name itself had a lot of joy, and it was printed with a very artistic font, which looked very joyful.

Deng Hanyu ordered the waiter to serve the dishes and specially ordered a bottle of fifteen-year-old Moutai.

After the dishes were served, everyone sat down. County Magistrate Liu sat in the middle, with Deng Hanyu on one side and Qian Youyu on the other. I sat opposite County Magistrate Liu, and next to me was Secretary Du.

As soon as the wine was poured into the glass, the mellow and long fragrance of wine began to wander in the room. County Magistrate Liu looked at the wine glass and said, "Town Mayor Deng, you invite us to drink such good wine. If it were at my place, I could only invite you to drink dizzy Daqu."

Deng Hanyu said with a face full of smiles, "How dare I ask the County Magistrate to invite me to drink. If you invite me to drink a glass of water, County Magistrate, I would feel it is countless times more fragrant than this wine."

County Magistrate Liu smiled and said, "Town Mayor Deng, let's have a meal, time is limited, there is a meeting tonight. If you have anything to say, say it now."

Deng Hanyu picked up the wine glass in front of him and said, "No hurry, no hurry, County Magistrate, the Thunder God doesn't beat the person eating! No matter how big the matter is, we must eat." After speaking, he stood up and said that this glass of wine was to wish County Magistrate Liu good health and to thank County Magistrate Liu for his strong support for the work of Chengguan Town.

After saying a lot of words, the wine didn't go down, which made me restless, so I said, "Town Mayor Deng, drink, it's all in the wine."

Deng Hanyu looked at me sideways, with a face full of displeasure, "Little Brother Chen, I have to express my feelings."

I waved my hand and said, "Good, good, good, Town Mayor Deng, you express slowly, I'm waiting."

Everyone laughed. Deng Hanyu couldn't say anything more. Seeing County Magistrate Liu drink, he hurriedly drank it down, signaling Boss Qian to toast with his eyes.

County Magistrate Liu said lightly, "Don't make it complicated, I'll drink three glasses. There is a meeting tonight, and the smell of alcohol will have a bad influence."

Boss Qian's half-buttock that was about to stand up couldn't sit or stand, looking at Deng Hanyu embarrassedly. I took the words and said, "It's said, three glasses are in place. Town Mayor Deng has toasted, Boss Qian, it's your turn. You are a boss, the treasure of Chunshan County, County Magistrate Liu is very willing to drink with you."

County Magistrate Liu nodded with a smile, "For entrepreneurs, our Chunshan County is infinitely welcome. Boss Qian is an entrepreneur who went out from our Chunshan County, so we should welcome him even more."

Boss Qian looked at me gratefully, leaned over to fill County Magistrate Liu's wine, didn't say much, drank it first, showed the bottom of the cup to me, and said, "Chen cadre, you drink too."

I said, "Boss Qian, you toast County Magistrate Liu, it's right to drink first, but County Magistrate Liu hasn't drunk yet, how dare I."

County Magistrate Liu smiled and said, "Come, come, come, let's do it together."

Secretary Du drank tea, stretched out his chopsticks to pick up a large shrimp, and dealt with it seriously.

After two glasses of wine, Deng Hanyu began to enter the main topic.

The cement products factory in Chengguan Town wanted to expand its production scale, but was troubled by the lack of space, and the property rights were not clear. He wanted to ask the County Committee and County Government to come forward to handle it. The cement products factory was originally a county-run enterprise. Although it was handed over to Chengguan Town, the property rights of the factory were still the county's. This property right was like a rope, tying Deng Hanyu's hands and feet, strangling his neck, and making him unable to display his plans.

County Magistrate Liu pondered for a moment and said, "Property rights are state-owned assets, it's not easy to handle."

Deng Hanyu pointed to Boss Qian and said, "County Magistrate, Boss Qian has an idea to buy it, see if it's possible."

County Magistrate Liu looked at Boss Qian. Boss Qian had a face full of flattering smiles and a face full of hope.

"County Magistrate, the whole country is reforming now. Although the cement products factory is profitable, it is already going downhill. I think, why not introduce foreign capital to make it bigger and stronger? No matter what, it is still an enterprise in our Chunshan County, it won't run anywhere." Deng Hanyu struck while the iron was hot, pressing step by step.

County Magistrate Liu ignored Deng Hanyu's words and turned to ask Boss Qian, "Boss Qian, why are you suddenly interested in the cement products factory?"

Boss Qian smiled honestly, "To tell you the truth, County Magistrate, I was also called back by Town Mayor Deng. He said a highway is going to be built. To build a highway, how many precast parts are needed? So I came."

County Magistrate Liu looked at Deng Hanyu alertly, "Hanyu, where did you hear this news?"

His voice wasn't high, but it clearly contained blame.

Deng Hanyu said unhurriedly, "County Magistrate, why are we still hiding it from each other? Now the outside world is full of rumors, and I don't know how many bosses are playing ideas."

"What ideas?"

"County Magistrate, think about it, everyone knows about building the highway. Once such a big project starts, how many things can be done. The road passes in front of us, if we don't think of ways to make money ourselves, money won't fall from the sky. The main product of the cement products factory was originally cement precast slabs for farmers to build houses. Now farmers are also starting to build houses with frame structures, and the demand will be less and less. By then, when everyone doesn't use precast slabs, the factory won't know what to do. It's better to convert it now, let others inject capital, and change the product structure. Don't you think so?"

Deng Hanyu said a long string of words and didn't wait for anyone to speak, picking up the wine glass and drinking a glass himself.

"It seems you are playing the idea of the highway?" County Magistrate Liu smiled and said, "Awesome. Hanyu, it's a pity you didn't become an entrepreneur."

Deng Hanyu's face turned white, and he hurriedly said, "County Magistrate, I am a cadre, I can only do things like paving roads and building bridges. Let those who do business do the things of making money."

I saw that the atmosphere was a bit wrong. Everyone was calculating their own abacus in their hearts, so I said, "How to reform the cement products factory?"

Deng Hanyu understood my meaning and took the words, "Actually, it's very simple. Calculate the existing assets, convert them into cash, buy out the seniority of the original employees according to national regulations, and let Boss Qian and the others invest in it. We collect management fees, the county collects taxes, and all three parties have benefits."

County Magistrate Liu half-closed his eyes, tapped his fingers on the table and said, "This matter is relatively large, and it needs to be discussed and studied by the standing committee."

After speaking, he didn't even raise his head and asked Secretary Du, "What time is it?"

Secretary Du hurriedly got up and said, "We have to go, the meeting is about to start."

County Magistrate Liu wanted to leave, so we didn't dare to keep him. We had to stand up and send him off, all the way to the car. County Magistrate Liu said to me, "Little Chen, you continue to eat. I have no choice, I'll go one step first." After sitting in the car, he put down the car window and signaled me to go over. I walked over, and he lowered his voice, "Go back and prepare well, the township election will be next week."

After County Magistrate Liu left, we returned to the private room. Along the way, Deng Hanyu was full of displeasure, chattering, "It's not my private matter, such an attitude, such a small matter, still need to be discussed by the standing committee. By the time you finish discussing, the day lily would have been cold long ago."

I and Boss Qian followed behind him. I pulled Boss Qian and said, "Boss Qian wants to invest?"

Boss Qian nodded and said, "Indeed, I want to invest." Looking at Deng Hanyu's back walking in front, he said softly, "But I don't want to invest in the cement products factory. This enterprise is complicated. If I don't do it well, all the people in my village will die in it."

"Then why are you still coming?"

"I have no choice!" Boss Qian threw away the cigarette butt and said, "Town Mayor Deng calls me every three days, saying there is money to be made. If I don't come? He still controls us."

I said, "If Boss Qian wants to invest, I have a good project, I don't know if you are interested."

Boss Qian hurriedly said, "As long as the project is good, I am definitely interested, and I will definitely do it."

I sold a pass and said, "When you are free, I will tell you properly." Pointing to my pocket, I told him, "I have your phone number."

Boss Qian smiled knowingly at me, returned to the private room, and without leaders, everyone let go. A bottle of wine was finished in a few moments. Deng Hanyu drank urgently, and after drinking the last glass, he couldn't hold it anymore, stammering, "Money... Boss Qian, I... I... I'll go pay the bill."

Boss Qian was about to get up, but I pulled him and said, "I'll pay this bill."

Boss Qian said embarrassedly, "How is that good?"

I said, "We still have to cooperate, just treat it as making a friend."

After paying the bill and coming out, Deng Hanyu couldn't drive anymore, so he was helped into Boss Qian's car and taken to the county reception house to sober up. ===== CHAPTER 131 =====
