Siheyuan: Taking over the steel mill

The land and transportation department naturally did not want to be left behind, and immediately responded: "Considering the urgent need for your factory to expand its factory buildings, you previously applied for the expansion of industrial land. It just so happens that a three-acre piece of land adjacent to it can be allocated to you for the expansion of factory facilities. It also promised to build a new passage leading directly to the factory gate."

These proposals undoubtedly have practical benefits and sparked some thoughts in Suchen's mind - especially regarding the construction of new roads.

Earlier, when the envoys from the Camel Kingdom visited, he found that the current road surface was too old.

If this road can be built into a modern asphalt surface, the driving experience will definitely be smoother.

Even with just the above conditions, the value of $100,000 is already quite worthwhile.

Faced with this situation, even the boss of the financial bank spared no expense and gritted his teeth to promise his preferential terms:

"If possible, we are willing to pay one million RMB to purchase the $100,000, and you will enjoy the highest level of preferential treatment in all your future business with our bank."

Seeing that he had obtained the benefits he needed, Su Chen stopped pestering and nodded in agreement.

"Okay, in that case, we will transfer the US dollars directly to your bank account, and then you can transfer the funds to our factory's public account."

After Su Chen agreed, everyone felt relieved and their worries finally dissipated a little.

They were all afraid that Su Chen would hold on to the foreign exchange dollars and not let go.

However, Su Chen knew very well in his mind: if money just lies in one's hands, it will ultimately be a string of meaningless numbers; only by making it circulate can the effect of compound interest be achieved.

Seeing that the matter was resolved satisfactorily, the heads of various departments said goodbye to Su Chen one by one.

They still have a lot of official business to deal with and cannot stay here for long.

"Everyone, please walk slowly."

Su Chen personally sent them to the factory gate, and everyone had a happy smile on their face.

Even though Su Chen did not invite these small leaders to dinner or give them any extra benefits, these people were still very satisfied.

Today's mission has been successfully completed, so everyone left with a satisfied look on their faces.

Su Chen was naturally also satisfied, because the steel mill now belonged to him, and the benefits brought to the factory naturally became his wealth.

Although it seems that Su Chen suffered a loss, after all, if he exchanged the US dollars in his hand into RMB, he might be able to get a high ratio of 200:1.

But in reality, under the current circumstances, holding US dollars is just a cash.

The smartest move would be to turn it into tangible benefits.

Now no one realizes this and always thinks it is just a promise, but in the future these promises will be priceless.

In the future, building a road or approving a piece of land will be more difficult than we can imagine today.

And now Su Chen only needs one hundred thousand US dollars to exchange for immeasurable benefits in the future.

This is exactly what Su Chen values.

As a factory manager, he completed a day's tedious work and did not stay in the factory until the end of the get off work day. Instead, he went straight to the courtyard where he lived.

With the arrest of those evildoers, the entire courtyard returned to peace.

Walking along the courtyard towards my room, I no longer heard the noisy sounds that usually filled the courtyard, especially the noises of Qin Huairu and Bang Geng.

There is always some * movement every night.

Now their disappearance made Su Chen feel much more relaxed.

But even though it has become much quieter, there are still uninvited guests coming.

At this time, retired employee Yi Zhonghai was walking out of the house slowly, holding a large enamel cup.

When he saw Su Chen returning, he hurriedly went to greet him and coughed lightly.

"Su Chen, I have something I would like to ask you for help."

Since you think it's troublesome, it's better not to say anything.

Su Chen thought.

Although he didn't really mean it, considering that the other party had come forward to ask for help, he had to nod his head slightly in response.

"Uncle, what are you talking about? If I can help, I will do my best."

Yi Zhonghai didn't know that all the evil people in the hospital were put in detention because of Su Chen. He currently hoped that Su Chen could go and inquire about the situation for them.

"Su Chen, you are the factory director now, so you should have some connections.

There was a small conflict in our yard yesterday. It was actually just a small matter, but the police insisted on meddling in its business and ended up taking those neighbors to the police station.

See if you can help me find out how to get them out."

Su Chen frowned, feeling very disgusted with this matter.

The uncle said it easily, but Su Chen was not willing to get involved at all.

If Qin Huairu and others hadn't always been trying to take advantage of him and hold him back, he wouldn't have been so indifferent to it.

However, Yi Zhonghai didn't seem to notice. Seeing Su Chen was silent, he began to chatter non-stop:

"We all grew up in the same courtyard, we are a family.

As the saying goes, it takes a hundred years to be able to cross the river together.

Su Chen, please do me a favor and find out about it.

After all, it’s just a small thing, and we usually help each other, right? "

Su Chen didn't want to pay attention, but just showed an excuse: "Uncle, it's not that I don't want to help, but I don't know anyone in the police station, so I'd better wait for the police to handle it."

But Yi Zhonghai did not give up and continued to say to Su Chen:

"If we wait for the police to deal with the situation, people might get hurt by mistake.

You can go and ask, after all, they are from the same courtyard and are as close as family.

It won't cause any consequences if you ask.

If you didn't have the help of Bang Geng and the others, you wouldn't have been able to become the factory manager, right?"

The uncle wanted to exert moral pressure, but the more he spoke, the angrier Su Chen became.

If it weren't for these people in the courtyard, I wouldn't have gone to the countryside to work in the production team and suffer.

At this moment, the system in Su Chen's brain suddenly activated.

[Do you agree to the uncle's request and help inquire and rescue Sha Zhu and others? ]

[Option 1: Agree to the old man and get a bonus of 10,000 yuan]

[Option 2: Reject the old man and get a Forever brand bicycle]

[Option 3: Refuse the uncle and give him a taste of his own medicine to obtain the turbojet engine design]

Su Chen's eyes lit up. He didn't expect that communicating with an old man could bring system rewards.

The third option was exactly what he wanted.

He had long been fed up with this old stubborn man who always used all kinds of big principles to oppress others.

This time, Su Chen resolutely chose the third option and even disdained other rewards.

After making the selection, Su Chen looked at Yi Zhonghai, who still had a kind look on his face, and sneered in his heart.

I wonder what kind of face this disguised good guy will reveal when his own interests are harmed.

Although he had seen this kind of scene in TV dramas, he still felt extremely happy to be able to deal with it personally this time.

"You should also know that we all grew up in the same compound.

In order to prevent Banggeng from going to the countryside as an educated youth, Shazhu actually pushed me forward.

I didn't have to go originally. If it weren't for policy reasons, I might never have the chance to return to this courtyard in my life.

Can we still call them good neighbors?"

After Su Chen finished speaking, the old man looked a little embarrassed. He knew that what he did was indeed wrong.

But since Su Chen was able to come back from the countryside so quickly and did not seem to have suffered too much, we should let this matter go and not mention it again.

It's just a temporary job in the countryside for others, so what's there to complain about, the old man continued.

"Asking you to be an educated youth is also a response to the Chairman's call.

Besides, you returned home after a short stay in the countryside, so your time as an educated youth can be considered a wonderful memory..."

The old man spoke very logically, but Su Chen became more and more dissatisfied and sneered.

"Since it's such a good thing, why don't you go? The reason you can gossip here now is because you are taking advantage of Sha Zhu and letting him support you and your family.

If I say that I understand their difficulties and help them, then look at the good things they have done, such as fighting with each other and going to the police station.

Not to mention that if you abuse your power to do illegal things, you will be arrested and imprisoned.

You can think about them, but you can't think about me? It seems you are really hypocritical!"

Speaking of this, Su Chen became even more angry.

"You seem like a good person now, but you don't remember what you did in the past. If my parents knew about this, I wonder if they would crawl out of the ground and teach you a lesson."

"It's no big deal that they were detained at the police station, so I should just stay there as if nothing happened, right? If you don't treat me as a neighbor, why should I treat you as an elder!"

Su Chen's question made the old man's face turn pale and he couldn't say anything for a while.

Su Chen's words exposed the ** without reservation, leaving the old man speechless and extremely angry.

"Well, now that you're the factory director, you're acting like an official.

In that case, I won't force you, I'll go find someone else."

"We live in the same compound, but you can say such hurtful things. It's really disheartening!"

The old man left these few words and left angrily.

Su Chen watched Yi Zhonghai leave with an angry look on his face, and he immediately felt much better. The anger he had been holding back because of Yi Zhonghai's obstruction also dissipated without a trace.

After sending him away, Su Chen leisurely returned to the house and began to look up the system's reward design blueprint.

Turbojet engines were already outdated at the time. After all, everyone was competing to develop aircraft carriers, so who would be willing to use old technology?

Although the international community has blocked this type of engine technology, there is no corresponding alternative in China; the current ones are still relatively outdated traditional engines.

In fact they are older than turbojets.

As a result, the country’s aerospace industry has been stunted in development.

Due to engine problems, domestic expansion in this area has not been fully launched.

Although Su Chen knew that the country would vigorously develop aerospace technology in the next few decades and eventually become one of the top three powers in the world, it was far from being called an aviation power now.

Su Chen has his own ideas and plans for this, and he has already identified the important functions that this turbojet engine will play in the future.

“There will definitely be a lot of benefits when the time comes.”

After thinking about it, he couldn't help but smile slightly, then put down the design plan in his hand and began to prepare for cooking.

Because the gas has been sold and the difficult people in the courtyard have been restrained, Su Chen is in an unusually good mood today and plans to carefully cook a sumptuous meal for himself.

I hummed a slightly off-key tune while preparing the food: the plan was to make classic braised pork elbow, steamed Chinese cabbage and tomato and egg soup.

For a dish for one person, it doesn’t matter if you simplify the steps. Just two hot dishes and a refreshing soup will do.

He nodded with satisfaction and started to clean the pig's trotter weighing three and a half pounds.

Such a big pig's trotter placed on the chopping board does look quite spectacular, but because the seller did not clean it properly, there are pig hairs mixed in its skin.

So, Su Chen put the fire into the coal stove to preheat the pot, and then he threw the pig's feet in to burn the hair.

As the slight burning smell floated in the air, he actually felt hungry.

While moving swiftly, he muttered to himself, "It's really troublesome to have a comprehensive life. If it weren't for the blessing of the system, even as a chef, I would probably be able to live a prosperous life, and I would definitely be better than Brother Zhu."

After entertaining myself, I thought that my current situation was still good - I didn't have to spend too much effort to make money, nor did I need to worry about the problems in this broken yard.

The processed pork trotters were skillfully stewed in the pot, and while waiting he also started to cook rice.

The aroma of food cooking soon filled the space.

In a room a little further away, Ni Qinhuairu's two daughters, Huaihua and Xiaodang, were writing their homework furiously.

When they came home from school yesterday and found that their grandmother was the only one left at home, they felt uneasy.

Fortunately, there was their great-grandmother (referring to Grandma Jia) at home who explained the facts to them. They learned that their mother and brother were arrested by the police, and even their beloved neighbors - the so-called "stupid" uncles were also imprisoned.

They were completely shocked by the news, but they pretended to be calm and went to school.

The only regret was that grandma, the only person in the family who cooked, was too frugal with food and was almost unwilling to add oil to the diet, which made the two boys and girls, who were at the peak of their growth, suffer from hunger.

When they smelled the tempting aroma coming from their neighbors, they couldn't help drooling and couldn't control their appetite at all.

"It smells so good... I feel like it tastes like sweet and sour pork," Huaihua whispered softly to Xiaodang.

“But it tastes more like Dongpo pork elbow, just like what silly uncle made before.

"

“You can’t tell how long it will take for them to go home… It feels like they are really starving to death.

"

"My grandmother was too stingy and didn't have any extra fat for us to use. As a result, my body has nothing to support it, and the food I eat disappears immediately.

"Huahua complained.

The two sisters were whispering to each other, and Jia Zhang, who was in the room, also smelled the tempting aroma and slapped the edge of the bed in greed.

No matter how greedy they were, they didn't dare to cause trouble for Su Chen.

Qin Huairu has spread the news. The reason why Sha Zhu was locked up was all because of Su Chen!

Now these people are harboring resentment towards Su Chen, and no one would be so shameless as to ask for that bite of cold dish.

Su Chen was happily cooking delicious food and eating it with relish, completely unaware that he had attracted a wave of hatred outside. At this moment, he was still immersed in the plan that was about to be implemented, enjoying the food with relish.

Although the compound here seemed calm on the surface, there were actually undercurrents. On the other side, the leader of the Ministry of Industry returned to his office and quickly wrote a detailed report, recording everything he saw and heard at the Red Star Steel Mill. He also made a detailed analysis of Su Chen and submitted it as soon as he finished writing it in one breath.

The report was quickly delivered to the top management.

Since the report came from the leaders of the Ministry of Industry, the top leaders attached great importance to it. After it was circulated among everyone, the top leaders also began to pay attention to the existence of the Red Star Steel Mill.

The incident in which Su Chen sold a gas cylinder of similar ** power to the consul of Camel Country also attracted the attention of senior management, so they decided to hold a small meeting to study the matter.

"I was still on a business trip in Haicheng, and you called me back in a hurry."

"What's going on? Why is it so mysterious? From the notice, it seems to be related to a steel mill.

Isn't this Red Star Steel Mill the largest in the city? I heard recently that it was going to close down. How could such a thing be involved and a meeting be held? "

"Could it be that the steel mill has too much debt and wants us to cover the losses? This is a big mill with tens of thousands of employees. This is not a small matter."

Several ** gathered in a secret residence in the old city. Those who could attend the meeting were all of prominent status, but everyone's attitude was relatively low-key.

Soon, seven or eight people filled the small conference room.

Everyone came for the same problem - the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill.

"I don't know what happened at the Red Star Steel Mill that they called us all here in such a hurry.

Old Chen over there, the economist, what is he doing here? "

A leader who manages domestic people's livelihood asked in a low voice.

"We'll know once the meeting officially starts. We won't be kept guessing all the time."
