Chapter 526

One day, Su Xinghui was busy in his office when an unexpected guest arrived: President Cai of the County Agricultural Bank.

As soon as Su Xinghui saw President Cai, he was stunned for a moment, then stood up and smiled, "The God of Wealth is here! Welcome, welcome! What wind blew you here?"

President Cai smiled, "I came to the Pengjiawan Town branch to inspect work today and stopped by to see you on the way."

Su Xinghui brewed him a cup of tea and smiled, "Since the God of Wealth is here, I'll treat you to a drink at noon today."

President Cai said, "Then I shall respectfully accept."

Su Xinghui asked, "President Cai, did you have any other business coming here today?"

President Cai smiled, "I knew I couldn't hide it from you. I came today because there is another matter: the one million loan for your town. It is January now, and the bank has the loan quota, so you can take out the loan."

Su Xinghui smiled, "President Cai, thank you, thank you. Others have to go door-to-door begging for loans, but for our loan, you, the God of Wealth, came personally to notify us. This really makes us feel bad."

President Cai laughed heartily, "What is this? Supporting the development of your township enterprises is a duty our Agricultural Bank cannot shirk!"

Su Xinghui said, "How about this: I will call someone over to meet you, and in the future, he will be the one to contact your Agricultural Bank regarding loan matters."

Su Xinghui stepped out of his office and called out, "Little Liu." Liu Yongjun came out from the Party and Government Office. Seeing Su Xinghui beckoning to him, he ran over.

At the beginning of the year, Liu Yongjun was also appointed as Deputy Director of the Party and Government Office and concurrently served as Deputy Manager of the Pengjiawan Town Vegetable Wholesale Market Management Company, while Su Xinghui himself served as the manager. Of course, Su Xinghui didn't have the time to run specific affairs, so naturally, Liu Yongjun had to do it.

Over the past half year, following Su Xinghui, Liu Yongjun had indeed learned a lot. His conduct and work ideas had made significant progress, and Su Xinghui also intended to let him take charge of things independently.

Liu Yongjun entered Su Xinghui’s office and asked, "Town Mayor, were you looking for me?"

Su Xinghui said, "Little Liu, come, let me introduce you. This is President Cai Junsheng of the County Agricultural Bank. He came today regarding the one million loan we are taking from the Agricultural Bank."

Su Xinghui added, "President Cai, this is Comrade Liu Yongjun, Deputy Director of our town’s Party and Government Office and Deputy Manager of the Vegetable Wholesale Market Management Company. From now on, he will be the one directly contacting your County Agricultural Bank."

Liu Yongjun extended his right hand to President Cai, "President Cai, hello, please give me your guidance in the future!"

President Cai could see that Liu Yongjun was highly trusted by Su Xinghui, so he naturally didn't dare to be negligent. He hurriedly reached out and shook hands with Liu Yongjun, "Manager Liu, you are too polite."

Su Xinghui had Liu Yongjun sit down and said, "Little Liu, President Cai says their Agricultural Bank has the loan quota now. Take some time to go to the County Agricultural Bank’s Credit Department and handle the loan procedures. The vegetable wholesale market project is at a critical moment now; you must handle the loan as soon as possible. We cannot let the project run out of funds!"

Liu Yongjun nodded, "I understand, I will go handle it as soon as possible."

Su Xinghui said, "I am treating President Cai to lunch today; you must toast him a few more glasses of wine."

Liu Yongjun said, "No problem!"

President Cai smiled, "Don't force me to drink too much; I can't compare with you guys, I'm already over forty."

Su Xinghui said, "It's getting late, let's go, let's go eat. President Cai, don't worry, we won't force you to drink; drink well but don't get drunk, that is the principle."

President Cai stood up, "Then I can rest easy!"

During the meal, amidst the clinking of glasses, President Cai said to Su Xinghui, "By the way, Town Mayor Su, I have another matter to trouble you with today."

Su Xinghui said, "President Cai, whatever it is, just tell me."

President Cai said, "It’s like this: the Hou family’s investment company has been established and is about to build a factory in Pengjiawan Town. Could you speak to them when the time comes and have them open an account at our Agricultural Bank?"

Su Xinghui pondered, "That is not easy to do. Their investment is all in US dollars, and foreign exchange accounts can only be opened at the Bank of China. The Bank of China also holds onto this big client very tightly."

President Cai said, "I am not asking them to open their basic account at our Agricultural Bank; opening a general account is fine. Their investment is in US dollars, but once they start operating, won't the account mainly be in Renminbi? If you say a word, Town Mayor Su, they will definitely listen to you."

Su Xinghui smiled, "Very well, I will find an opportunity to mention it to them."

President Cai was overjoyed, "That is wonderful! If you need to treat them to a meal, just let me know, I will arrange it!"

Su Xinghui nodded, "Very well, if there is a need, I will tell you."

With President Cai taking the initiative to come, Su Xinghui didn't need to worry about the loan, and the construction of the vegetable wholesale market wouldn't have any problems. Helping him speak to the Hou family and having them open an account at the Agricultural Bank was just a small matter; the Hou family wouldn't refuse to give him this face.

However, this was a big deal for President Cai. Over the past year or two, the deposit and loan balance of the Shangjun County Agricultural Bank had increased rapidly, and President Cai had been praised by the municipal branch many times. He had been President of the Shangjun County Agricultural Bank for several years and had not been promoted, but this time, he still had high hopes for a promotion.

Of course, if the Hou family’s electrical appliance factory opened a general account at the Agricultural Bank, and he did some work with them to have them transfer tens of millions into this account at the end of every month, that would be even better, and it would be a heavy weight for his promotion.

Just after President Cai left, Yu Ruizhi arrived. He was on his way from Jiangcheng to Menghuling and stopped by Pengjiawan to find Su Xinghui.

Now Yu Ruizhi was running around between Jingcheng, Jiangcheng, and Shangjun, busy as a bee, but he was enjoying it. Now the tourist attractions in Shangjun County were becoming more and more impressive, and the tourism revenue in 1994 had reached several million. Although this tourism revenue was still not worth mentioning, the momentum was already quite good.

Seeing Yu Ruizhi arrive, Su Xinghui was very happy and said to him, "Brother Yu, I haven't seen you for a long time."

Yu Ruizhi said, "Last month, I went back to Jingcheng. By the way, I heard some good news when I went back this time."

Su Xinghui asked, "What good news?"

Yu Ruizhi said, "The country is going to introduce a policy to implement a two-day weekend system."

"Two-day weekend system?" Su Xinghui pondered. In his previous life, he didn't really remember which year the two-day weekend system started. Now the country was only piloting a system of resting two days every other week in some regions, and Shangjun County was not among those pilots. Could it be that the implementation of the two-day weekend system was happening this year?

Yu Ruizhi thought Su Xinghui didn't understand the meaning of the two-day weekend system, so he introduced it to him, "The two-day weekend system means resting two days a week. In the future, you will be able to rest on both Saturday and Sunday. This is good news, right? You will have more opportunities to see Xiaoya in the future."
