Chapter 1522: Meeting with Hou Wenchang

After dinner that evening, Lu Zheng called Su Xinghui into his office to talk. Every time Su Xinghui came to the Lu family, the father-in-law and son-in-law would always have a private chat. Su Xinghui would report his work situation to Lu Zheng and discuss the gains and losses; the benefits of this for Su Xinghui were self-evident.

Now that Su Xinghui had just been promoted to Deputy County Magistrate, Lu Zheng naturally had to ask about his current work situation.

Su Xinghui had been promoted to Deputy County Magistrate; his future career prospects were becoming brighter and brighter, and his path was becoming clearer and clearer. Lu Zheng hoped that he could walk a path similar to his own, and be able to go higher and further than he had.

Because Su Xinghui's starting point was much higher than Lu Zheng's, and the political achievements he had made in the same age group were also much more outstanding than Lu Zheng's, how could this not make Lu Zheng's imagination run wild?

When Lu Zheng was twenty-five years old, he was still an ordinary clerk in a commune, but Su Xinghui was already a Deputy County Magistrate and a member of the County Party Committee.

Lu Zheng said, "Xinghui, you are a Deputy County Magistrate now. What are your specific responsibilities?"

Because he had been too busy during this period, Su Xinghui hadn't called Lu Zheng to tell him his specific responsibilities, which was why Lu Zheng asked.

Su Xinghui said, "My specific responsibilities are agriculture and animal husbandry, forestry, transportation, investment promotion, tourism, and urban construction."

Lu Zheng nodded and said, "These are all important tasks. They are very critical to the development of your Changshan County. It seems that your county attaches great importance to you. However, these are also areas of work you are good at, so you shouldn't have any problems."

Su Xinghui said, "I am also very confident. The future of Changshan County will definitely be very bright."

Lu Zheng said, "Then what is the reason for your return to Jiangcheng today?"

Su Xinghui said, "I made a suggestion to the County Party Committee to open a training class for young cadres at the County Party School, mainly to train them in some economic knowledge and cultivate their sensitivity to economic aspects and some advanced concepts. The County Party Committee accepted my suggestion. I contacted an expert in economics from Jiangcheng University, and my return to Jiangcheng today is to pick him up. Tomorrow, I will take this expert back to Changshan."

Lu Zheng nodded and said, "This idea of yours is very good. You are already thinking about problems from the perspective of a County Party Secretary. Standing from the perspective of a County Party Secretary, it is no longer a matter of introducing a specific project, but rather focusing on building a team of cadres. You alone can handle everything in a township, but for a whole county, relying on you alone is not enough; you need to cultivate more helpers."

Su Xinghui nodded and said, "That is exactly what I was thinking. Changshan County has been closed and backward for a long time. There are really too few cadres who can have new concepts and new ways of thinking. We need to cultivate more talent to form a cadre echelon, so that the development of Changshan County has successors and staying power."

Lu Zheng said, "Actually, I think you could even give lectures to these young cadres. You can now be considered an expert in economics, and your theories have all been tested by practice and proven effective. This is more suitable for these young cadres than pure theory."

Su Xinghui smiled and said, "I do indeed have to give lectures to these young cadres, one lecture every day. This is the requirement of our Secretary Xue and County Magistrate Ling for me."

Lu Zheng said, "Hmm, your Secretary and County Magistrate have good vision. Being able to think of having you lecture these young cadres, I think this will be very beneficial to your future work in Changshan County."

Su Xinghui going to the Party School to teach these young cadres would allow him to pass on some of his governing concepts to them, and in the future, these young cadres could all be considered his students, his own core force.

Now that Changshan County is opening such a training class, these young cadres will definitely be reused in the future and will be active in every corner of Changshan County's political scene, becoming the backbone of Changshan County. As long as Su Xinghui rises steadily, it won't be a big problem for him to become the County Magistrate or County Party Secretary of Changshan County within a few years.

By that time, with such a group of usable people on hand, he will be able to master the political scene of Changshan County with ease.

Early the next morning, Su Xinghui first went to the computer street behind Jiangcheng University. This street had only emerged in the last year, and many computer and network stores had opened here. Although these stores were still very simple, many of the IT companies that would later become famous in Jiangcheng came out of these simple storefronts.

Su Xinghui wasn't going to any store to assemble a computer, but to find Hou Wenchang. Hou Wenchang's Hanhai Computer Technology Co., Ltd. was located on the third floor of a six-story office building on this street.

Su Xinghui was, of course, extremely familiar with this area. He arrived at the office building with ease and went up to the third floor.

This street was an old street, and these office buildings were all old office buildings of some administrative agencies. Now that these administrative agencies had moved into new office buildings, these old ones were rented out to these stores and companies. Because several universities were gathered nearby, the area was bustling with people and belonged to a golden section, naturally forming this computer street.

This office building was quite old, so it looked rather dilapidated. However, once on the third floor, the feeling was different. Hanhai Company had rented the entire third floor and renovated it, giving it a modern feel that fit the style of the IT industry; it looked very professional at first glance.

The registered capital of Hanhai Company was actually not much, only one million. For the Hou Group, this was just a very small amount of capital, but for an IT company in this era, this money was not small. Many IT giants who would become famous in later generations were still busy looking for venture capital in the range of 100,000 yuan at this time.

And this was just the registered capital. With the financial strength of the Hou Group, as long as Hou Wenchang needed it, they could take out a huge sum of money to support him at any time, so the starting point of Hanhai Company was much higher than most IT companies.

Please don't forget, Hou Wenchang also had many good ideas provided by Su Xinghui. Just based on these ideas, he could achieve outstanding results even without capital.

Su Xinghui pushed open the glass door of Hanhai Company directly. A young and beautiful receptionist stood up and asked, "Sir, who are you looking for?"

Su Xinghui said, "I'm looking for Mr. Hou Wenchang."

The receptionist asked, "May I ask your surname? Did you make an appointment with Mr. Hou?"

Su Xinghui said, "My surname is Su, and I have an appointment with Mr. Hou."

The receptionist said, "Oh, you are Mr. Su. Mr. Hou told me about you. Please come in with me."

The receptionist led Su Xinghui around a large partition that read "Hanhai Computer Technology Co., Ltd." and officially entered the office area of Hanhai Company.

The office area of Hanhai Company was also partitioned into one small cubicle after another. There were about a dozen employees working; they were mostly programmers, writing programs on computers. Their clothing and sitting postures were very casual, not like the white-collar workers in ordinary companies who were in suits and ties and polite.

This was also a feature of IT companies. The work habits of programmers were like this; if they were given too many constraints, they would lose most of their creativity.

In his previous life, Su Xinghui also had programmer friends. In his impression, these programmers were unkempt, had their days and nights reversed, and had irregular lives, but each of them was energetic, with the light of wisdom flashing in their eyes.

These programmers at Hanhai Company fit these impressions of Su Xinghui very well.
