Literary novel "Urban Cattle Herding": Qinglin meets the new upstart

After the decoration team was absorbed by the construction engineering company under the Taifa Group, although the basic living expenses of a group of brothers were no longer worried, there was no great development, and it seemed that the sauce was at a certain point, which made Ding Qinglin feel bad. The previous time he returned to his hometown, he was surprised and rushed back to the provincial city to talk about investment with Fang Ming, and the result was also disappointed. Fang Ming told him that although Taifa Group's key project Sunshine New City requires a large number of high-grade building materials, it is unlikely to set up a factory in a remote mountainous area to quarry and process, and Lu Jiafeng and he received a large number of famous building materials manufacturers are too late. This scoop of cold water poured on his head made Qinglin much more sober, and to achieve such a great thing, it was not enough to rely on imagination and wishes, and reality was always so cold and serious that it was frightening.

Qinglin's decoration team was sent by the company manager Zhang to renovate the old house, and the other party was a military company jointly run by the Municipal Bureau of Old Cadres and the Logistics Department of a certain unit, so he got acquainted with Zhan Zhicheng, who had a fiery personality and treated people loyally. The war director was a guard of a veteran general who participated in the Long March of the Red Army, and later became a logistics cadre of the army, and after transferring to the municipal old cadre bureau, he wanted to seek some welfare for those old people who had struggled for the revolution and worked hard for many years, so he took the initiative to shoulder the burden and founded this company with a small investment.

As soon as he heard that Qinglin was from Daba Mountain, Director Zhan smiled and slammed him on the shoulder with a punch: "Hey! Baba Mountain's baby, when the Red Army dares to fight and dare to fight, it is even more feasible to do the work. Good job, I am rewarded for this fake general manager. Qinglin liked this bold man, and replied simply: "Director of War, this battle is guaranteed to be fought well." Listening to his words, the outspoken old war also leaked the bottom: "Xiao Ding, my company is not as rich and powerful as Taifa, a little money is pulled together, you can use a penny as a penny, don't blame us old guys for being petty."

Of course, Qinglin understood the difficulty of running the company by director Zhan, and tried his best to save materials when doing the project, and asked Pumpkin and Wang Shan to work carefully, with a total budget of 800,000 yuan to complete most of the decoration project, and the cost was only one-half. This made his immediate boss, Manager Zhang, very dissatisfied: "Ding Qinglin, you are engaged in a thrifty movement!" Want to get an award from an old cadre? Hmm, don't think this can save money for the surname war, I collect money according to the contract, he does not give it and has to give. Director Zhan also understood that Qinglin was crowded in the cracks, and there were many difficulties, but he admired this smart, upright and courageous young man more and more.

The whole project is progressing quite smoothly, but at the critical moment of the transformation of the main building, there was a problem with the funds of junhua company, and manager Zhang took the opportunity to make trouble, forcing Qinglin to stop working and waiting for the material, and a group of young men had to play poker and chess for a while.

Manager Zhang, who has money in his hand but refuses to help others, does not show up for a long time, Qinglin is a smart woman who is difficult to cook without rice, and it is not good to force the director of the war, sitting alone on a wooden chair in his office reading a book, and his heart is inevitably anxious.

The war director hung up several phones in a row, angrily smashed the microphone on the machine, and burst out in anger: "Dog Day! Knocking on the country's bamboo levers and eating black money is more fierce than his mother's old social profiteers! If Lao Tzu still had a gun in his hand and a regimental team, he would arrest the dog lady and break him!" Qinglin put down the book and exhorted: "Director Zhan, you are discouraged, this project has been carried out for the most part, and the Taifa Group will not ignore it." Don't talk to the villain surnamed Zhang, is it to talk to Fang Ming or Lu Jiafeng, they loosen their fingers, and your difficulties will be solved. Director Zhan shook his head: "Xiao Ding, I don't have the habit of asking for people, and it is even more difficult for those big bosses who think they are not great." The card with the surname Zhang on my neck is to want me to pay more than 300,000 yuan in default money, and if I am willing to sign and accept the penalty, he will let me go. I don't agree, and the bad ones stop working. If you think about it, my building is the national sugar and wine exhibition venue designated by the municipal government, the reservation and the rent are all proceeding according to plan, and the opening time of the conference is approaching day by day, but I am in a big trouble for hundreds of thousands of dollars. ”

Qinglin knew that the war director still had a sum of money to borrow from an old comrade-in-arms' company, and every time he went to borrow money, he was no longer able to borrow money from the competent department at a higher level, and tried to use the real estate to mortgage the bank, but the Junhua Company only had the right to use this building, and the property rights still belonged to the old cadre bureau.

He looked at the distraught War Director and tentatively asked, "If you don't ask for the Taifa Group, there is no other way?" Director of War, there must be people in charge of money and money in your old superiors and old comrades-in-arms, think about it carefully..."

"Hey!" The director of the war suddenly shouted, stood up violently and walked out excitedly, "Xiao Ding, I remembered a guy coming, called Zhou Jie, I was the company commander, he was the deputy company commander, there was a battle back we were lying in a trench, the enemy shell hit him, or I pushed him a slap to not die." Zhou Jie is now the director of the 567 factory, and the home appliances of their factory are best-selling in the country, and it is certainly no problem to find him to borrow hundreds of thousands! Just do it, Xiao Ding, I'll go find money, and you can quickly resume work!

Seeing his confident look, Ding Qinglin was also happy: "Well, Director Zhan, we will do it right away."

When they heard that they were going to work, the pumpkins rejoiced, and the quiet construction site soon had a banging sound, injecting a breath of life into the building. Qinglin himself took a few technically good guys to fight in the main hall of the ground floor.

Not long after working, Manager Zhang, who drove a Honda Accord, hurried to qinglin and shouted angrily: "Ding Qinglin, which one told you to start work?" Don't you want to obey my orders? If the surname Zhan does not pay two-thirds of the money, we will stop working and punish him! You are simply leaderless in starting work without permission. ”

This person's heart was small, and Qinglin knew that it was not okay to reason with him, so he said, "Manager Zhang, Director Zhan has withdrawn money." I just started, and completing this project early is also beneficial to our company. Manager Zhang smiled: "Your boy is too young, he said that if you have money, you will have money?" I don't see the rabbit and don't throw the eagle, I have to see the ticket enter the account before I can do it. Hey hey, Captain Ding, I just want to knock on the director's money jar and make more money! You stand by and never put a nail in the wall without my command!" Did you hear me clearly?"

In the face of such a villain, Qinglin had nothing to say, waved at the guys, and the hall sank again. Manager Zhang smiled satisfactorily, as if he had forced an opponent into a dead corner in a major business battle, and his heart was full of the pleasure of a winner.
