The Era of Hard Work

I heard from Mu Kun that you invested in a soy milk seller together?

After getting out of the car, he handed Lu Dong a safety helmet. Wei Yong asked curiously, It's not Yonghe Soymilk. What's the point of selling soymilk? Do you want to open a store like Yonghe Soymilk King?

There were a lot of construction vehicles on the construction site, and the wind was strong in spring, blowing over for a while, and the sky was full of dust. Lu Dong closed his eyes, hid the dust, and said, It's not a soymilk seller, but a soymilk maker.

Wei Yong pointed to the construction site in front of him: Investing in those is better than investing in Weiqiao's Home Textile Industrial Park.

I think so too. Lu Dong told the truth: I only have a few million funds. Compared with your project that easily costs hundreds of millions, it's a drop in the bucket. You don't need my millions.

Wei Yong laughed and didn't say anything about inviting Lu Dong to invest.

In order to build this home textile industrial park, Weiqiao Group only spent 300 million yuan in bank loans.

With the increase in contacts with Weiqiao, Lu Dong could feel that it was okay to be normal friends with the Wei family, and it was fine to invest in the Wei family's business.

Because the Weiqiao Group is not generally xenophobic.

Leaving aside the investment, almost all the key positions in this group company are in the hands of relatives of the Wei family.

For the most important positions, the people sitting on them are all surnamed Wei, and the lesser ones are either Wei Yong's mother's natal family, or Wei Yong's wife or his brother-in-law's family.

There is no direct kinship with the Wei family, even if you temporarily sit in a high position, hold some equity, and make outstanding contributions, you will be squeezed out soon.

The development of Weiqiao Group is almost a history of living family members ascending to power.

Lu Dong also admired it very much. Wei Yong’s father, Wei Ping, is really powerful. If an ordinary company does something like this, it will be ruined soon, but Weiqiao Group is still full of vitality. In the traditional sunset industries such as textiles and aluminum, It's done well.

The two came to a slightly higher shelter from the wind and looked at the intense construction ahead. The first phase of the Weiqiao Home Textile Industrial Park project involved hundreds of acres of factory area. At this time, more than a dozen machines were busy constructing.

Lu Dong asked, Has Wanwan made any trouble recently?

I've been making troubles all the time, never stopped. Wei Yong was a little helpless: Lv Dong, tell me, we have to put up with a bunch of outsiders at our home court and let them do things under our noses. Don't be angry.

Lu Dong comforted: Wait for two years, and the wind direction will change.

Wei Yong thought of what he heard from his wife after the party years ago: They didn't trouble you, did they?

Lu Dong laughed: Why are they bothering me? I have no competition with them.

Wei Yong still reminded: Be careful, these Wanwan people are said to be involved in gangsters in Wanwan.

Lu Dong nodded: Okay, I will pay attention.

Wei Yong said again: Don't let me seize the opportunity, if I seize the opportunity, I will definitely bring down the Wanwan people.

What happened in Macau can be said to be the biggest scandal in his life.

The two were talking here, and soon a person wearing a hard hat came out of the temporary board room on the side of the construction site and walked towards this side.

One of them was gentle, like a teacher.

The other was in his forties and wore a suit.

Mr. Wei, Mr. Lu. Fan Qingshan, who was walking in front, greeted Lu Dong and Wei Yong: Would you like to go to the office?

Wei Yong shook hands with Fan Qingshan: At this stand-up meeting, blow some air and let the air flow.

The other person was Qian Rui, who asked Lu Dong, Why are you free today?

Lu Dong said: I am also a shareholder of the construction company, and I have a job title, so I come to accompany Brother Wei to have a look.

Qian Rui then shook hands with Wei Yong.

The project of the home textile industrial park was contracted out in different projects. Qian Rui got the steel structure, and the Lujiacun Construction Company was responsible for the brick-and-concrete building construction.

It is naturally because of Lu Dong's relationship that he can get some projects of the Home Textile Industrial Park so easily.

Of course, it also has something to do with the reputation of Qian Rui's company, Lu's Construction Company, and the three predecessor companies. In this era of rapid progress, the construction quality of the two companies is relatively good.

As for specific construction, Lu Dong and Wei Yong were both laymen. After talking for a while, Qian Rui and Fan Qingshan left quickly.

Wei Yong said at this time: Your village is getting bigger and bigger. I don't think it will take a few years to catch up with Weiqiao.

It's far away. Lu Dong casually said modestly, How much money have you invested in your foundation? Lu's village has only been developed for more than two years, and it is only when the time is good that it can reach its current scale.

Wei Yong asked: You still want to get involved in the tourism industry?

Lu Dong said directly: We are planning to establish a brand new tourism industry company. Brother Wei, are you interested in investing in a share?

Do you accept foreign investment? Wei Yong was curious.

Accept. Lu Dong briefly introduced the situation: It is certain that the village collective will hold the controlling stake. In principle, the village collective should hold at least 51% of the shares.

The Wei family has never set foot in this industry, and Wei Yong doesn't have to worry about Lu Dong cheating, but investing is not a trivial matter: I'll think about it.

Going back, the other side of the road is also under construction. Over there is the Taidong Software Park, which is a key building in the province. It has only been one year since the foundation was laid last year. Today, more than ten high-rise buildings have risen from the ground, although it has not yet been completed. place, but the embryonic form of the software park can already be glimpsed.

Wei Yong looked to the west, and he could see the tall buildings in Quannan.

Lu Dong said casually: At most four or five years, the two sides can be connected together.

Even though Wei Yong's family has a great career, they are quite emotional: The speed of development is really fast, it's almost the speed of light, if you don't pay attention, you will fall behind.

Lu Dong nodded, Time waits for no one.

When they came to the parking lot, they got into Lu Dong's Santana together. Lu Kun drove onto the road and took an exit from the Software Park. An Audi came out from the door. It seemed to recognize Lu Dong's car, and it rang a few times. Honk.

Seeing the driver waving, Lu Dong said, Stop.

As soon as the car stopped on the side of the road, Lu Dong hurried down. The rear door had already been opened, and Yu Zhanlong, who was wearing a gray jacket, got out of the car.

Wei Yong also followed Lu Dong out of the car and followed curiously.

Lu Dong came to the sidewalk and said, Uncle Yu.

Yu Zhanlong nodded: How about going to the construction site?

Lu Dong pointed to the construction site of the Home Textile Industrial Park, and said, The construction company in the village is doing construction here. I'll come and have a look.

Seeing Wei Yong coming, he said, Uncle Yu, this is my friend, Wei Yong, the eldest son of Weiqiao Group.

Wei Yong saw Yu Zhanlong in the newspaper, and he took a step forward to shake hands: Hello, Mr. Yu.

Yu Zhanlong nodded slightly, and said with a smile: Is your father in good health? I haven't seen him for a year.

Very good. Wei Yong rarely spoke in a very polite manner.

Yu Zhanlong said to Lu Dong again: Is everything going well?

Knowing that Yu Zhanlong was busy with affairs, Lu Dong said, The company in the village is doing well.

Isn't your Qingzhao going to travel? Yu Zhanlong said emphatically: Tell me if you have any difficulties. I am very optimistic about your Qingzhao's cultural and tourism plan. It is a node that your village focuses on. I will let people follow it later. Your third grandfather talked about tourism investment.

Lu Dong felt that Yu Zhanlong would at least not lose money when he invested in the project of Lujia Village, and said, Uncle Yu, if you want to invest, I won't refuse.

Yu Zhanlong smiled: You guy, if you were like this earlier, you wouldn't have suffered so much.

Lu Dong smiled embarrassedly: The main reason is that I didn't have confidence in the past, and I was afraid of lack of ability. I laid the foundation in the early stage and walked out step by step to be sure.

Call me if you have anything to do. Yu Zhanlong looked at his watch: I'm going back to the company, so I won't tell you more.

Lu Dong said, Uncle Yu, do your work first.

Seeing Yu Zhanlong getting into the car, Wei Yong thought about what Yu Zhanlong said just now, that Qiansheng Group is going to invest in the tourism project of Lujia Village? This is Taidong's top private enterprise. If Qiansheng Group invests, the meaning behind it and the role it can play are immeasurable. Maybe Weiqiao Group can give it a try?

When I first met Lu Dong, the Lujia Village was not as large as it is now. In just two years, the annual output value reached hundreds of millions.

Not to mention that you are on the right path, there is another very important point, that there are people from above to support you.

Wei Yong didn't say much. After experiencing the incident in Macau, the relationship between him and Lu Dong became closer, but it was also much more mature than before.

Business depends not only on relationships, but also on investment returns.

Back at the Innovation Port of the Provincial University, Wei Yong got into the car and went to the Management Committee of the University Town, where there were still many things to do.

Lu Dong checked the time, but didn't go back to the company. He simply went to the Physical Education Institute and asked Song Na to have lunch.

The two met at the entrance of the restaurant. They came earlier, and they could find a quiet place to sit after finishing the meal.

Song Na asked Lv Dong: Most of your dividends last year were invested in Jiuyang, let's not go to Shanghai.

Lu Dong picked up a piece of diced chicken and handed it to Song Na's mouth: No, I still have funds in hand. The village is going to set up a new tourism industry company. I'm going to invest the money in the village.

In addition to Warm Business, Song Na also invested in No. 1 Sports and Lu's Catering, and she also had a lot of money in her hand. She said, How about I also invest in a share?

Lu Dong asked, Why do you suddenly want to vote?

Song Na bit off the meat caught on Lu Dong's chopsticks, and said, Can't I make an investment in advance?

Okay. Lu Dong said deliberately: On behalf of Lujia Village, I welcome Comrade Song Na to contribute to the development of Lujia Village!

Song Na scooped up the rice with a spoon and stuffed it into Lu Dong's mouth: Keep your voice down, loud noises are prohibited in public places!

Understood. Lu Dong looked around, but no one noticed.

Song Na picked up another dish with chopsticks and brought it to Lu Dong.

Lu Dong ate Song Na's meal one bite at a time, so he didn't move his chopsticks at all.

After dinner, Lu Dong went back to the company, called Du Xiaobing who was going to Shishi, and asked about the progress there.

Lu's Catering Company develops the market in the surrounding provinces of Taidong, and the provincial capital city is naturally placed first.

Just after work the next day, Lu Dong was interviewing candidates for marketing manager when he suddenly received a call from the office of the Qingzhao Cultural Tourism Planning Committee.

There is a good news announced there-the spring water has resumed!
