Chapter 455 [Blood-stained Style]

The person who helped Xu Zhentang meet with Zhang Yang was Xue Ming, the director of Jiangcheng No. 1 Clothing Factory. Xu Zhentang and Xue Ming were classmates in the Emba training class. In his career, Xue Ming has always been much smoother than Xu Zhentang. Xue Ming also admires Xu Zhentang very much, believing that he was not appreciated in the construction machinery factory and has never been valued. But now Xu Zhentang has become the decision-maker of Jiangcheng's leading enterprise, which surprised Xue Ming.

That night, Xue Ming was hosted by someone on the water house, which led to the meeting between Zhang Yang and Xu Zhentang.

Zhang Yang did not come alone. He also brought Zhou Dongyu, the director of Lanshan Engineering Machinery Factory. When Xu Zhentang saw them coming together, he immediately understood a little. No wonder Zhang Yang chose him. He can be said to have never met him, and it must be Zhou Dongyu's recommendation.

Zhang Yang took the initiative to reach out to Xu Zhentang and smiled and said, "Director Xu, I am Zhang Yang!"

Xu Zhentang has been famous for a long time, and it is the first time he has really had contact with Zhang Yang on such an occasion. He shook hands with Zhang Yang and smiled and said, "Thank you, Mayor Zhang for coming!"

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "You are the head of our leading company in Jiangcheng. Of course I will give you your face!"

Zhou Dongyu shook hands with Xu Zhentang enthusiastically, and he smiled and said, "Director Xu, no wonder I repeatedly invited you to Lanshan but I was rejected by you. It turns out that you are waiting to play in Jiangcheng."

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "You Tao is a mountain that cannot accommodate two tigers. If you really invite him, who will be the boss?"

Everyone laughed.

Zhang Yang sat down on the first place without hesitation, and hello everyone.

Xue Ming said: "Today I am the host. The purpose of inviting Mayor Zhang to come for dinner is mainly to contact feelings. Don't worry, we only contact revolutionary feelings and never engage in evil ways."

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Xue Ming, you owe me several meals. Today is quite sincere!" Zhang Yang introduced Zhou Dongyu to Xue Ming and said, "This is my distinguished guest, our distinguished guest in Jiangcheng, Comrade Zhou Dongyu, the director of Lanshan Engineering Machinery Factory."

Xue Ming smiled and said, "I heard of the great name for a long time!"

Zhou Dongyu smiled and said, "It must be a compliment. I am not that famous."

Xue Ming said: "I was not that famous in the past, but now we all know you in Jiangcheng. You are the Raptor crossing the river!"

Zhou Dongyu laughed and said modestly: "Thank you, Jiang City Government for giving me this opportunity, and thanks to Mayor Zhang's trust in us."

Zhang Yang said: "Don't just pretend to be polite, serve the food!"

Xu Zhentang rarely spoke at the beginning, and most of the time he spent quietly observing the site commander of the new airport project. In the past, he had heard of many stories about Zhang Yang. This man had some legends on him. Today, he found that Zhang Yang had no official airs, but his words and deeds showed extraordinary courage.

Naturally, I would inevitably congratulate Xu Zhentang on being promoted to director of Jiangcheng Engineering Machinery Factory at the dinner table.

After Zhang Yang's proposal, everyone raised their glasses, and Xu Zhentang naturally could not refuse. He did this glass of wine, and then raised his glass to toast Zhang Yang. He said sincerely: "Mayor Zhang, thank you for your recommendation. You didn't know me before, so why did you think of recommending me?" In fact, Xu Zhentang had guessed that this incident was probably related to Zhou Dongyu, and just wanted to confirm it again.

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "You shouldn't thank me. If you want to thank me, thank Director Zhou. He recommended you to me."

Zhou Dongyu smiled and said, "When I recommended Zhentang, I didn't know that Mayor Zhang wanted to recommend him as the director of Jiangcheng Engineering Machinery Factory. If I had known that you would establish such a strong opponent for me, I would never recommend him."

Everyone laughed together.

Zhang Yang said: "I believe that Director Zhou has his own vision. Everyone here is his own people, so I don't hide it from everyone. Long before the official bidding, when the funding problem of the new airport was not yet implemented, Director Zhou and I met in Lanshan. The reason why I decided to give up the equipment of Jiangcheng Engineering Machinery Factory and adopt Director Zhou was not only because of Comrade Cao Zhengyang's unilateral reluctance, but mainly because he was moved by Director Zhou's vision and confidence. If you want to make a career, you must have a common purpose and a common ideal. Only in this way can we get together. If you don't even have the minimum confidence in our career, what cooperation will you talk about?"

Xue Ming said: "Mayor Zhang is right! Only common ideals can come together."

Zhang Yang said: "It is no longer popular to shout slogans in the current era. Besides, patriotism and love for the family are not what you shout at the top of your voice. It depends on actual actions." He smiled and looked at Zhou Dongyu and said: "Director Zhou is very good. Not only do he love Lanshan, he also falls in love with our Jiangcheng."

Zhou Dongyu laughed: "To be honest, I already have feelings for Jiangcheng."

Zhang Yang said: "Actually, both Jiangcheng and Lanshan are the land of Pinghai, and they are all China's land. Our efforts are for China's development and take-off." He looked at Xu Zhentang and said: "Why doesn't Director Xu speak very much!"

Xu Zhentang said: "I'm thinking about what to say!"

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Speak whatever you want. Everyone is friends when they sit together after work, and friends should speak freely."

Xu Zhentang said: "The city leaders handed me the heavy burden of Jiangcheng Engineering Machinery Factory. When I am in my position, I have to do my best. I want to think about the future development of the factory. Today, Director Zhou happened to be here, so I said something directly."

Zhou Dongyu nodded.

Xu Zhentang said: "Jiangcheng is a leading enterprise in Jiangcheng and a manufacturer of construction engineering machinery. Our Jiangcheng Engineering Machinery Factory is said to do our best. Director Cao gave up the bidding. He has his reason. He is afraid that the airport project funds will not be implemented and our investment will not be rewarded in a timely manner, which will put the factory in trouble. His starting point is good, and I don't think everyone will deny this."

Zhang Yang said: "What do you think?"

Xu Zhentang said: "I firmly oppose Director Cao's decision. He lacks confidence in the development of Jiangcheng. I think today's era is an era of rapid development. The economic development is a long time. We cannot grasp the opportunity at home, and we will only give it to others." He smiled at Zhou Dongyu and said: "Do not mind, Director Zhou, I am just talking about the matter."

Zhou Dongyu said: "Zhentang is all true. If it weren't for your factory's voluntary concessions, I wouldn't have gotten this opportunity so easily."

Xu Zhentang said: "It has been difficult for us to recover things to the point where things have developed to this point. But I have to say that the business of the new airport is not just as simple as losing an order for our factory, but also the reputation and reputation that our factory has finally established. Even the key projects in our city do not use our machinery. So what can we use to convince others to buy it?"

Zhang Yang looked at Xu Zhentang with a smile. When he recommended Xu Zhentang as the director of the engineering factory, he didn't know this person. Today was the first time to get close to him. He found that Xu Zhentang was indeed a person with ideas and opinions, and he was very accurate in the future. What's even more rare is that he dared to express his opinions.

Zhang Yang said: "What should I do? Now we have signed an agreement with Director Zhou. We can't let us break the contract, right?"

Zhou Dongyu said: "That won't work. I have to compensate me if I break the contract!"

Xu Zhentang said: "The most important thing between people is integrity. I don't want to replace Lanshan Engineering Machinery Factory. I want to say that Lanshan Engineering Machinery Factory and Jiangcheng Engineering Machinery Factory are the top two in Pinghai Engineering Machinery Industry. Our products overlap, but there are many differences. Mayor Zhang consider whether we can complement each other and improve the engineering equipment required for the new airport project. There are also many engineering equipment that must be imported. We and the German Hyde Group are cooperative units and have great advantages in introducing equipment. Can we lower the competition and work together to achieve win-win results." He paused and said: "I know this requirement has made Director Zhou embarrassed, but I think the development of Chinese enterprises does not lie in internal competition, but internationally. Only by setting the goal for the long term can our development be faster and we can go further."

Zhang Yang looked at Xu Zhentang and then looked at Zhou Dongyu. Both of them said the same words one after another. Heroes really have the same views. Entrepreneurs in the new era should have such a mind and style. Zhang Yang nodded and said, "Is it strong in China or not? If you go abroad and rush into the world, you are truly strong!"

Zhou Dongyu raised his glass and said, "Zhentang, I have the same idea. Our products can complement each other. The market is so big that we can't afford it alone. Therefore, only unity can seek common development and truly achieve win-win results!"

Xu Zhentang didn't expect this to go so smoothly. He excitedly held Zhou Dongyu's hand and said, "Brother Dongyu, you have helped us a lot this time!"

Zhou Dongyu smiled and said, "We are all Pinghai companies. Too many repetitive product lines will only cause us to fall into vicious competition. If we can reach a consensus, each has its own strengths and learn from our strengths and weaknesses, we can avoid these bad competitions and achieve rapid development. I have already started to think about this matter, and we need a fellow practitioner with the same mind and the same vision."

Because the matter of the construction machinery factory was finally resolved, the atmosphere of the dinner became warm and harmonious, and they all drank a lot of wine.

Halfway through the winter, Su Xiaohong walked in to toast, and Zhang Yang introduced Zhou Dongyu and Xu Zhentang to her. When Su Xiaohong heard that Xu Zhentang was the new director of the engineering machinery factory, she was very careful. The engineering factory was so big that she must have many business hospitality. She had already become interested in attracting this big customer. Su Xiaohong said that she would come to serve as the owner of the Jiangcheng Engineering Machinery Factory. She congratulated Xu Zhentang on being promoted to the director of the Jiangcheng Engineering Machinery Factory.

They drank until ten o'clock in the evening. Su Xiaohong took them to the parking lot. When Zhang Yang got in the car, Su Xiaohong said to Zhang Yang: "You have drunk so much, I'll ask Su Qiang to take you back."

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "You don't know my alcohol tolerance yet? This little wine is absolutely fine."

Su Xiaohong said: "Be careful, drunk drivers are prone to carelessness."

Zhou Dongyu got into the car in the distance and waved goodbye to Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang smiled and waved to Zhou Dongyu.

Su Xiaohong said intentionally or unintentionally: "Is the project of the new airport still going smoothly?"

Zhang Yang nodded and said, "It's still possible. The province has allocated 500 million yuan, and there are not many problems with the funds."

Su Xiaohong said: "It's very hard to work. If you have time, please invite Secretary Du to come and have a drink together."

When Zhang Yang heard that she had brought Du Tianye with him, he didn't know whether he was intentional or unintentional, so he couldn't help but smile and said, "Do you want to invite him or me?"

Only then did Su Xiaohong realize that she was saying the wrong thing, but she had always been very capable of controlling her emotions. She smiled and said, "Please, everyone gather together, where can I have a few jars of good wine?"

Zhang Yang didn't ask any further, and he smiled and said, "I have always been thinking about your jars of good wine. Your words have hooked out all the wineworms in my stomach."

Su Xiaohong said: "Okay, I'll pick a time next week and I'll ask you."

Zhang Yang said: "Wait and talk about it. The foundation is about to start construction and lay the foundation. I am not my own time now. I have to fight wherever Secretary Du said."

Su Xiaohong smiled and said, "Don't work too hard. If you are exhausted, someone will feel distressed."

Zhang Yang said: "Sister Hong still loves me."

Princess Su Xiaohong smiled and said, "You don't need me to hurt you. I wonder how many beautiful girls are waiting to love you."

Zhang Yang said: "You can't talk nonsense. Yanran will return to China soon. If this is spread, she will not have to settle the score with me."

Su Xiaohong said: "If you don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. Do you have any ghosts in your heart?"

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "It's so open and honest, no one is there!" He suddenly remembered the story of Fang Wennan writing a handwritten letter to him and whispered: "Sister Hong, have you visited Fang Wennan recently?"

Su Xiaohong was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he nodded: "I have seen him several times. He is much older, but he is in good spirits."

Zhang Yang said: "Does your acquisition of the water house have any other meaning?"

Su Xiaohong bit her cherry lips and said, "It doesn't mean anything. It's already over between me and him!" She changed the topic and said, "By the way, what did he write to you?"

Zhang Yang said: "Let me give Shengshi Group a chance."

Su Xiaohong said: "Was Fang Wendong looking for you?"

Zhang Yang nodded.

Su Xiaohong said: "According to my understanding of Fang Wennan, he rarely asks others for his temperament. He can write this letter to you. Please help Shengshi Group to prove that he has either changed or he really wants to start over."

Zhang Yang said: "It's still a few years before he is released from prison. It seems too early to talk about starting over. But it's not that I didn't give Shengshi Group a chance, but that they voluntarily gave up the bid."

Su Xiaohong said: "Fang Wendong lacks the courage to do big things, and the decline of Shengshi Group is also related to him."

Zhang Yang said: "The opportunity can only be given to him once. If he can't grasp it, he can't blame me."

Su Xiaohong said: "I always understand."

Zhang Yang said: "When I have time, I will go see him!"

There are many things in the world that are unpredictable, just like Cao Zhengyang's death, he died on his own stairs. The reason was that he had drunk too much wine. When he was about to reach the doorstep, he fell and rolled down the stairs. Unfortunately, he broke his neck. When his family discovered him, he had been dead for half an hour and the body was cold when he was sent to the hospital.

Cao Zhengyang's death at Jiangcheng Engineering Machinery Factory was shocked greatly. Jiangcheng Engineering Machinery Factory was like a blow-up nest. Although Cao Zhengyang was a little more conservative, he had a high prestige in the factory. Although he did not support the city's work in the new airport in Jiangcheng, he won the hearts of the people. The workers all thought that Director Cao was sincerely considering them. Cao Zhengyang's family was even more unacceptable and believed that Cao Zhengyang died of snot. Cao Zhengyang's wife said with tears in her nose that Cao Zhengyang himself had high blood pressure and high blood lipids, and had not been drunk for more than ten years. It was the unfair treatment of the city to bring him on this dead end.

The construction machinery factory was in chaos. In the early morning, the workers organized a bus to the municipal party committee and government, surrounded the three floors inside and outside the gate of the municipal party committee and government, and also put on slogans - mourning our good factory director, and accusing bureaucracy of killing people with blood and tears!

The city leaders had just started work and encountered this situation. Municipal Party Secretary Du Tianye stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the office, looking at the scene outside, and frowned. Cao Zhengyang was actually dead, and no one expected this.

He called Rong Pengfei, the head of the Public Security Bureau, and asked him to deal with the situation at the scene immediately. It is necessary to control the situation and never let the situation worsen.

When Xu Zhentang arrived at the scene of the trouble, nearly a thousand workers had already gathered outside the city government. Xu Zhentang found that he was the factory director who took office was really a bad time. Before the organization could officially announce the situation, the old factory director died unexpectedly and was pushed to the forefront of helplessness. But he was already the factory director of the engineering factory, so he had to fulfill his duties as the factory director.

Xu Zhentang rushed to the crowd, spread his arms and shouted loudly: "Everyone calm down!"

Many of the workers didn’t know that Xu Zhentang had been appointed as the director of the engineering factory. He thought to himself, which onion do you think you are? What kind of big shots are there for an after-sales service department?

Xu Zhentang shouted: "Please listen to me that Director Cao died unexpectedly. We are all very sad, but we cannot use such extreme methods to interfere with the government's work. If you have any dissatisfaction, you can discuss and resolve it in the factory and I will report it to my superiors."
