"Hehe, I'm not afraid of you jokes. When Ye Wancheng first entered Xinjiang, he was afraid of darkness at night and could not swim. He secretly went to the river to take a bath. I discovered that if it weren't for me, he would have drowned, so he had been sending me things for so many years."

"Ah?" Everyone exclaimed, it turned out that Old Master Ye had such an exciting thing.

At this time, Liu Neng's face was flushed and he picked up the bottle of sorghum, not knowing how to explain it? After all, he just said that this wine was the worst in the Military Reclamation City, but the old secretary gave it to someone. Isn't this a slap in the face?

Seeing his expression, the old man naturally understood what he was thinking. He waved his hand indifferently:

"I used to send all the things he sent, but I returned them. Later, I started sending these prices that I could accept. I could hand over my back to the other party and on the battlefield. Where did I get my life-saving benefactor?"

Liu Neng breathed a sigh of relief, and then realized that he had been hasty.

Everyone started to drink in a lively manner. Even Zeng Rou, the woman, drank some, and she didn't have so much concern when she spoke.

"Old man, we were sent by the headquarters to help solve the difficulties here, but why did that mayor Shi Lei look unhappy?"

The old man looked stern and asked, "Is Wan Haiquan following?"

Zeng Rou nodded: "He has been with him all the time. Mayor Liu comes over, so he naturally has to accompany him. He is the same as the two levels."

Although Zeng Rou is the CEO of a joint venture, she has lived in the Military Reclamation City for a long time, so she naturally has a certain understanding of the matters within the system, so she agrees with some of the things in it.

The old man sighed: "No wonder, Shi Lei is actually a very capable person, but he is too constrained and can't let go!"

"Ah?" Zeng Rou exclaimed. She had been unable to stand Shi Lei's cold appearance just now, but things were completely different from what she thought.

"Wan Haiquan is a man with a strong desire to control and extremely conceited, but he is capable enough, so many of the work of the Eighth Division is not well carried out."

Next, the old man told a few people a few words that were speechless.

For example, when the sugar factory expanded its scale to buy imported equipment, Wan Haiquan excluded the chief engineer without authorization, and took a group of people who didn't understand equipment to go there. As a result, he bought a set of old equipment that someone had removed. The key was whether it was spent or the money for the new equipment.

There is also a wool mill with a batch of tweed cloth in stock. One of his confidants went to the neighboring country as a sales representative and owed dozens of tons of products to others for credit, and then they could not find anyone. Now the wool mill is still so overwhelmed by this debt.

One thing to say is that Shi Hezi is well-known to everyone, but because Wan Haiquan and Wang Lecheng have a good relationship, they grew up step by step with Wang Lecheng as a soldier, so no one can shake his status.

As for Shi Lei, he is a graduate student in economics at a famous university in Beijing. Unfortunately, he has been restricted after being promoted, so he has no way to perform his skills.

However, he personally led the restructuring of several factories. Although it failed to revitalize the company, it did not go bankrupt. Everyone had a scale in their hearts. They knew that if it were not Mayor Shi, those companies would have gone bankrupt long ago.

Liu Junken was in a bit complicated. He originally helped his brother units get out of trouble, but he didn't expect to encounter such a complicated personnel relationship. As an outsider, he naturally couldn't solve this problem.

After drinking, he said it thoroughly. Liu Junken naturally had to say goodbye and leave, so he naturally could not eat the old man's meal for nothing, and he had to settle the score after taking out the money.

As a result, the old man glared and cursed, "I look down on me, right? If Ye Wancheng knows that if several of his dolls are coming and I won't treat them, then how should he scold me? Take them back quickly!"

Liu Junken naturally knew the character of the military reclamation people, especially their generation, who sometimes had to use axes to treat each other.

However, before leaving, he asked: "Uncle, what's your name? I'll explain to Grandpa Ye when I go back?"

"Hehe, just tell him Xiaoshitou. I'm the only person he can remember here. In fact, he knows the name without saying it."

Liu Junken didn't have the nerve to ask whether it was a nickname or a large number. He just listened to it.

When he returned to the hotel, Liu Neng was straightforward and said:

"Old Liu, let's just go home. The situation here is too complicated. I guess we don't have much help, but we can't help!"

Zhao Xin raised his head: "I think we should report the situation to Uncle Wang truthfully and not run away when we encounter difficulties."

Zhao Xin is a person who has been cared for by Wang Lecheng since he was a child, so he naturally has a special relationship with him and does not retreat because of the relationship between Wan Haiquan and Wang Lecheng mentioned by that stone.

Liu Junken shook his head: "We are just a newcomer, don't be swayed by a stranger. Let's figure out the situation first."

The next morning, Wan Haiquan and Shi Lei came early. According to the process, today we would visit several factories that Wang Lecheng specifically instructed. This task must be completed.

Bayi Sugar Factory is located in SHZ City. It was completed and put into production in December 1959 and is affiliated to the Eighth Division. It covers an area of ​​300,000 square meters and has a construction area of ​​63,600 square meters.

There are more than 2,200 employees. The company was once one of the largest beet sugar factories in the northwest region and even the country. The leading products are white sugar, cube sugar, edible alcohol, beet pellets.

Looking at this huge factory, the group was shocked. In fact, enterprises of this size are nothing in the Military Reclamation City?

But this company was founded in 1959. They probably knew how difficult the country's economy was at that time. The factory was built by old soldiers on hunger, and all the allowances were donated and brick by brick.

It is such a factory that once became the largest sugar-making base in the entire northwest, making the entire northern border without any lack of sugar in the most difficult times.

Now, most of the workshops are quiet, and only scattered people can be seen in the warehouses and packaging workshops. When the company works to this point, it is already in danger.

Liu Junken and his men showed a feeling of "heartache" in their eyes, but Wan Haiquan, who was accompanying him, did not notice it at all.

He proudly pointed to this factory: the area occupied by this factory now belongs to the city center. If the house is sold and built, it can support the employees in the factory for many years.

"This is a factory with more than 2,000 employees. We must be responsible for their lives! It is about resuming production, not selling the land for the baby!"

Shi Lei, who was standing beside him, finally couldn't help but retort. There was already anger in his eyes.

"Comrade Shi Lei, what is your attitude? Companies with poor performance will naturally be eliminated. The whole country is doing this. Can you still change all this?"

Wan Haiquan was a little disdainful of Shi Lei's performance, but in front of Liu Junken and others, he was embarrassed to scold him directly.

Shi Lei did not care about Wan Haiquan's attitude at all, but turned around and said to Liu Junken:

"We have more than 2,000 employees, most of them are experienced and skilled workers. Given simple tools, they can purify snow-white white sugar. At present, there are not many sugar factories of this size in the entire northern Xinjiang! What we need is equipment renewal and regaining the market swallowed by sugar!"

Shi Lei was a little excited, and his voice was naturally a little loud, which made Liu Junken feel moved.

If Mr. Shi Tou hadn't introduced the situation last night, Liu Junken would have thought that Shi Lei was not inferior today.

Although Wan Haiquan's words are not reliable, they speak from a certain level. His words cater to the general environment and there is nothing wrong with it.

"In your words, every one of our companies has workers, so we should support them. Do you think I am willing to lay off my employees?"

"But what do we need to support it? You don't know the financial situation in the teacher, so this kind of thing must be followed by market laws, rather than decided with a subjective consciousness!"

Wan Haiquan's voice also became louder, and he was a little angry. He could no longer bear a subordinate who was so disrespectful to him in front of the people in his brother's unit.

Seeing that the two people were about to quarrel, Liu Junken didn't want them to do this in public. After all, as a leader, his image must be maintained. So he spoke to comfort him:

"Actually, we came this time to accept the commission from Comrade Wang Lequan. He said that the Bayi Sugar Factory not only represents the glory of our military reclamation people, but also sugar is an important strategic material. As a border province, we must ensure the reserve of sugar materials."

In fact, these words were not what Wang Lecheng said. The reason why Liu Junken said this was to help Shi Lei in disguise. After all, his attitude was a bit overbearing at this moment.

When Wan Haiquan heard Wang Lecheng's name, he stopped talking. He just looked at Shi Lei and felt an unknown meaning in his eyes.

In fact, as a subordinate, if you are thinking about it by your superiors, it is generally a taboo, but Shi Lei seems to be used to it and doesn't care at all.

Wan Haiquan called the factory director. The factory director was about fifty years old, with a fat body and a big belly, just like a pregnant woman who was about to die.

"Oh, old team leader, I know you are coming. I directed the staff to clean the factory early in the morning. You are here just after it was finished. Welcome the leader to come and guide you!"

The big-bellied factory director had a flattering smile on his face, but this smile only looked at Wan Haiquan, directly ignoring his direct superior Shi Lei, as well as Liu Junken and his group of guests who should have been the protagonists.

Wan Haiquan cursed: "I can't care about you, why are you so enthusiastic about me? Didn't you see Mayor Shi and the guests here? Today they are the protagonists, and I'm just accompanying guests."

The big belly factory manager was stunned for a moment, then squeezed out a smile on his face and greeted Shi Lei:

"Oh, Comrade Shi Lei, you are welcome to take your time to bring customers to the factory to guide your work!"

Everyone was stunned. A factory manager called Shi Lei directly. Although his attitude was humble, what was it?

Everyone looked at Shi Lei, but found that Shi Lei's behavior was very calm, but he asked in a low voice:

"Do you have any work here to guide you? If so, I really want to give it a try."

Big Belly Factory Manager: "..."

Although the tone is light, the problem is very poisonous.

The muscles on Wan Haiquan's face were shaking a little, and it was obvious that his teeth were biting tightly, but he didn't say anything.

There are no sugar companies in Junken City, so after a walk around, Liu Junken and others did not express any opinions, but they could see that the equipment was very old and clean.

Cleanness represents the quality and sense of responsibility of the factory, but outdated reflects the level of the leader of the company. It is also the level to be able to turn a once-glorious enterprise into an antique enterprise that has not updated its equipment for decades.

The big-bowed factory manager was very tough and kept arguing with Shi Lei again. Wan Haiquan had a gloomy face and didn't say a word. This should be the reason why Liu Junken and the others were in front of him, otherwise I wouldn't know what would happen?

After visiting the sugar factory, Liu Junken suddenly said he couldn't go there, and he didn't even attend the dinner arranged by Wan Haiquan and the others.

A large table of lunch with a full range of colors, fragrance and flavor were left, and only Wan Haiquan and Dadu factory director were left, and Shi Lei also went home for dinner.

Wan Haiquan called out a phone call and called out the leaders of several companies. I have to say that the factory manager Dadu still has his own tricks.

It is possible to say, drink, and eat. In a short while, the atmosphere became warmer, and then a consensus was reached quietly, that is, Shihezi's company is very good and no one needs to point fingers.

Liu Junken returned to the hotel and made a few phone calls, first called Junken University, and asked Zheng Lanzhi if there were any talent in sugar making. Zheng Lanzhi just pondered slightly and nodded and said there was, and asked him to come in the afternoon.

Liu Junken thought for a while and told her that not only those who are professional in sugar making, but also those who are professional in cotton and wool spinning were sent here together, asking them to take the high-speed rail to the provincial capital, and then from the provincial capital to Shihezi, so fast.

Zheng Lanzhi agreed that the military reclamation university is full of talents nowadays. As long as there are industries in China, the military reclamation university will definitely reserve talents.

After making these calls, Liu Junken called Wang Lecheng again, and he truthfully reported what he heard and saw here.

Wang Lecheng was silent for a long time, and then said, "Let go of your hands and feet, and do your best. I will cure the aftermath for you. Just think this is the Military Reclamation City."

After hanging up the phone, Liu Junken was in a good mood and called Uncle Shitou, saying that he would bring people over to eat skewers and ask him to prepare more and eat well.

Uncle Shitou told him that there were no kebabs during the day, but he could make delicious food for them at home and ask them to bring their own wine because his wine was too bad.

Liu Neng blushed. Who said that the old man is generous? He remembers everything!

After all, Liu Junken and others brought the special sorghum mellow supply from Junken City, which is their standard for business trips. The main reason is that they are used to drinking, and they are not used to drinking anything else.

He moved a box of 24 bottles of wine and went to his house according to the address given by the old man. The old man lived in a small courtyard with a yard with pomegranate trees and grape racks. It was just that because it was winter, they were all bare at this moment.

Seeing them entering the door, the old man greeted them early and called them into the house.
Chapter completed!
