Excellent little farmer

I smiled slightly and said softly: "Thank you for the compliment. What's your name, boss?"

"My surname is Yang."

The middle-aged man put down the information, crossed his shoulders, looked at me carefully, and asked with a smile: "Little brother, why are you the only one here, where are the leaders of the unit?"

I smiled, handed over my business card, and said tactfully: "Boss Yang, there have been many businessmen coming to inspect these days, and the leaders are negotiating alone."

The middle-aged man took the business card, looked at it carefully, put it in his pocket, and said softly: "I'm late. I just read the news in the newspaper this morning. I wish I had come earlier."

I waved my hand and said with a smile: "It's never too late for good things to happen. As long as we can find a suitable project, we won't be afraid of delaying your brother's fortune."

The middle-aged man laughed, nodded and said, "That makes sense."

I poured a glass of water and handed it to him, and said softly: "Based on the accent, Boss Yang doesn't look like he's from Wuyang."

The middle-aged man nodded and said with a smile: "My hometown is from the Northeast. I have been here for five or six years, and my accent still hasn't changed much."

I smiled slightly and asked tentatively: "Boss Yang, what industry are you in?"

The middle-aged man reached out and took out a cigarette, handed one to me, lit it himself, threw the lighter over, and said with a smile: "Me, this is the situation. I used to resell wood, and then I came here with my friends. , we jointly opened a cement factory and made some money, but let's do business, we can't do it with friends, because we keep quarreling about money, and it's almost getting hurt. When we put it all together, it's not an option to continue like this, so we might as well Let’s split it up, I’ll go out and look around to see if I can find a suitable project.”

After hearing this, I immediately became interested and asked with a smile: "Have you found a suitable project?"

The middle-aged man shook his head and said helplessly: "Originally, I wanted to make toys. Those toys can be exported and make a lot of money. It was quite popular a while ago, but I don't know what happened recently. People who work in toys say that business is not good. It’s easy to do, and many factories have begun to lay off employees. I saw something was wrong, so I stopped immediately.”

I smiled and said: "It's not just toys. Those who are engaged in export business should pay attention to it recently. The crisis in Southeast Asia has just emerged. Starting from February next year, it is expected to be even more severe. In the past two or three years, business has not been easy to do."

"What? Crisis?"

The middle-aged man frowned, as if he didn't react. After thinking for a long time, he said with a smile: "Then I have to do something. Actually, if I save a little of the money I have earned over the years, I can save it for the rest of my life." There’s so much I can’t use up, but I’m born to be a hard worker, so I just can’t take my time off and want to tinker with it for a few more years!”

I smiled slightly and said curiously: "Boss Yang, if you two work separately, how much assets can you get?"

The middle-aged man took a puff of cigarette, with a trace of imperceptible pride on his face, and said lightly: "The factory belongs to my friend. I only take cash, and the money is not much, probably more than 50 million!"

I touched my nose and said with a smile: "Let's do this, Boss Yang. If you trust me, I can help you with an idea."

The middle-aged man chuckled, nodded and said, "Young man is pretty good, just tell me."

I picked up the lighter, lit the cigarette, took a sip, and said with a smile: "Fifty million yuan is not a small amount of money. We can use it to flourish in many industries. Our sand and gravel deep processing industry in Qingyang City , currently recruiting investment, you can give it a try.”

The middle-aged man thought about it for a moment, then frowned and said: "I have had this idea before, planning to open a concrete processing plant, but I have been to Qingyang City, and it seems a bit small. The city's population is less than 400,000, right? "

I hurriedly persuaded: "There are advantages to being small. The city is too big, there are many companies, and the competition is very fierce. No matter how big the market is, if more than a dozen companies divide it up, there won't be much left. However, although Qingyang City is small, the transportation is very poor. But it is very convenient and can reach six or seven surrounding cities. What’s more, there are not many companies in Qingyang. If Boss Yang invests in the past, he can get more support from the government.”

The middle-aged man's eyes lit up, but he hesitated and said: "Little brother, what you said is very true. I am a foreigner. What I fear most is that I will be born in an unfamiliar place and face difficulties everywhere. If I can get support from the government, then It couldn't be better, but those officials have such big airs that even a junior clerk can look down on others. It's very difficult to get to know big leaders!"

I watched his words and saw that he was tempted, so I put out the cigarette, threw it aside, and said with a smile: "Boss Yang, as long as you are really sincere about investing in Qingyang and contacting government officials, there is no need to worry at all. Qingyang City is in charge Mayor Shang, who is here to attract investment, is a very nice person and I can introduce you to meet him."

The middle-aged man smiled, nodded and said: "Since there is such a good thing, I will check it out later. If there are no other problems, I will go to Qingyang."

I didn't want to miss the opportunity, so I struck while the iron was hot and said: "Boss Yang, let's make a date in advance. After all, meeting with city leaders requires an appointment in advance. They are usually very busy at work and sometimes spend the whole day in the conference room. , can’t get out at all.”

The middle-aged man thought for a while, then took the pen, wrote down his contact information, stood up and said: "Let's do it, little brother, you can make arrangements in advance. As long as the city leaders over there set a time for the meeting, I can go there at any time. , we are people who do practical things and don’t like to play with imaginary things, so don’t worry about that.”

"Okay, it's a deal!"

I suppressed my excitement, shook hands with the middle-aged man, and enthusiastically sent him to the door. I watched Boss Yang get into the van and leave slowly, then I smiled and waved my fist vigorously.

I returned to the hotel at noon and reported to Wan Yunhan that Boss Yang planned to invest in Qingyang. Wan Yunhan was extremely happy. If we could get an investment of 50 million yuan, it would be the largest investment in Qingyang in the past three years. This is the biggest achievement of the city’s investment promotion.

Ma Xuebao and Shen Daoqiong were also shocked when they received the news. They never expected that they would gain such a big harvest this time. There was more admiration in their eyes when they looked at me.

This is the case in government agencies. Maybe everyone has different ideas, but if someone really achieves results, everyone will still be convinced, especially in the eyes of the two of them, I am still a young boy, and I can actually do it. It is not easy to make such a large investment.

Of course, as long as the contract is not signed and the funds are not in place, nothing can be done. Therefore, Wan Yunhan also reminded me to be mentally prepared. Based on past experience, as long as one aspect of the work is not done well, it is easy to waste all the efforts and all the joy.

Everyone went downstairs to have dinner, then packed up and prepared to leave Wuyang and return to Qingyang City. Before I left, I went to the next room and knocked on the door, but no one answered. When I asked at the front desk downstairs, I got the news that Bai Mengni had already checked out this morning.

I took out my phone and called up Bai Mengni's number. After hesitating for a moment, I shook my head slightly, sighed, and put the phone back into my jacket pocket. Bai Mengni wrote clearly on the note that she encountered something that could not be solved. , making this call again, it seems a little inappropriate to interrupt rashly. Besides, even if I make the phone call, what can I say?

An hour later, several people got on the train with large and small bags, talking and laughing and playing poker just like when they arrived.

It was already past seven o'clock when we arrived in Qingyang City, and it was already dark. Wan Yunhan and the three of them took a taxi and went home directly. Since I had a packet of materials with me, I planned to put them back in the office first.
