Chapter 792 Special Guests
After Lin Yuhang learned about the situation of the tanneries in his county, he also learned about the workshops of the small tanneries newly established in the county in the past two years. He also made a special trip back to Shanghai and found experts from Shanghai Textile University through his connections for some consultation and advice.
Half a month later, Lin Yuhang, who had finished his preparations, had a clear idea in mind. At the meeting, he pointed out the advantages of leather making in Chao County and suggested that the government should vigorously develop the leather making industry. Not only should it make policy adjustments in this regard, but he also proposed a series of support and assistance to the industry in terms of bank loans, raw materials, and technological innovation.
In addition, for the state-owned enterprise Chaoxian Tannery, Lin Jianhang suggested that this old state-owned enterprise be restructured to give it new life.
After discussion, the organization formally approved Lin Yuhang's suggestion, and Lin Yuhang took the lead in this work.
Lin Yuhang is a person who does not like to procrastinate. The day after the meeting was passed, he called Lao Wang and announced to him the notice on the restructuring of Chaoxian Tannery, and solicited Lao Wang's opinions and views.
Lao Wang had been prepared for
As for Lao Wang himself, he told Lin Yuhang that there was no problem for him to be in charge of production and technology. He was old as well, so he could make use of his remaining energy in this area, helping the new comrades and doing auxiliary work.
Lin Yuhang was satisfied with Lao Wang's attitude, and he immediately praised and appreciated his consideration. However, as to who is suitable to lead the tannery in the future, Lin Yuhang still needs to consider this candidate. Lin Yuhang has run a business before, and he knows the importance of a good business leader.
"Lao Wang, do you have anyone suitable to recommend? It doesn't matter if they are younger. You have been the factory director for so many years. I believe in your judgment of people."
"Well... let me think about it. To be honest, there really isn't anyone suitable in the factory right now." Lao Wang shook his head and smiled bitterly. "I'm not trying to shirk responsibility. The factory has not been doing well in recent years. As the head of the factory, I have an unshirkable responsibility. But having said that, it's also true that our factory does lack outstanding talents in this area."
"Leader, you also come from an enterprise, and you are an expert in running an enterprise. Why don't you see if there is a suitable person in the organization and send one over here?"
Lin Yuhang nodded, thought for a moment and asked, "Isn't Qiu Jianjun, who I met in your office last time I went to your factory, a good guy? I remember he was the technical section chief, right? Or is he your junior fellow apprentice? We talked last time, and I think his opinions and ideas in some aspects are still good. Haven't you ever considered him?"
Lao Wang was stunned for a moment, with an unnatural look on his face. Originally, he didn't want to tell Lin Yuhang about Qiu Jianjun's suspension of work, but today Lin Yuhang suddenly mentioned Qiu Jianjun, so Lao Wang had to tell him.
"Jianjun's skills are beyond reproach, much better than mine. He is also young and steady. Although he has never worked in the marketing industry, he has a strong ability to absorb knowledge. If he gets some training, he can be considered a suitable candidate." At this point, Lao Wang looked up at Lin Yuhang, and said guiltily, "It's a pity that Jianjun is no longer in the factory, so this matter..."
"Wait, what do you mean? Not in the factory anymore? Where did you go?" Lin Yuhang frowned immediately.
Lao Wang then told Lin Yuhang about Qiu Jianjun's unpaid leave. However, he was cautious and did not tell him that Qiu Jianjun was put on unpaid leave after Lin Yuhang came to the factory last time. Instead, he moved the time forward by a few days. Otherwise, he was worried that Lin Yuhang would have some thoughts if he knew that Qiu Jianjun was put on unpaid leave right after he left.
"There is actually such a thing?" Lin Yuhang frowned. He had not expected this change in the situation.
"Actually, this is not the first time that this has happened in our factory. I also told you last time when you came that many people have left the factory to start their own businesses in the past two years. Now the owners of several newly built private tanneries in our county all left our factory. Alas! It's my responsibility. I am an incompetent factory director. It's all because I didn't manage the factory well, which led to my comrades..."
Before he could finish his words, Lin Yuhang waved his hand and said, "You can't be blamed for this. Don't take all the responsibility on yourself. By the way, is Qiu Jianjun also leaving the factory to start his own business when he applied for unpaid leave this time?"
"That's not the case. He went to help his friend."
"friend?"
"Yes! This friend of his is his classmate and comrade-in-arms. They have known each other since childhood and have a good relationship. This person is called Shao Haoqiang. He used to be an employee of the county's Wujiaohua. Now he runs his own tannery. Speaking of this Shao Haoqiang, he is also a figure in our county."
"Oh, what's the matter?" Lin Yuhang suddenly became interested in Shao Haoqiang and asked immediately.
Old Wang did not hide anything and told Lin Yuhang about Shao Haoqiang's story, especially mentioning that when Shao Haoqiang was working at Wujiaohua, he took advantage of his frequent business trips to Shanghai to privately engage in the sale of labor protection supplies. Over the years, Shao Haoqiang made a lot of money from this business and was one of the first people in the county to become rich. Now Shao Haoqiang has ended the sale of labor protection supplies and used the money he earned to set up a private tannery.
Because Shao Haoqiang had a good relationship with Qiu Jianjun and Qiu Jianjun's leather making skills were very high, he invited Qiu Jianjun to be the director of his factory. Qiu Jianjun agreed for the sake of his friend, which led to the subsequent suspension of work without pay.
After listening to this, Lin Yuhang became more interested in Shao Haoqiang. A soldier who was demobilized from the army went to work in a company, and then discovered business opportunities during a business trip. He made a lot of money by purchasing and reselling labor protection products over the years. It must be admitted that this person has a flexible mind and courage, and more importantly, he has a business vision that ordinary people cannot match.
You know, although there are many people who are buying labor protection supplies and reselling them to make a profit, this business has only appeared in the past two years, and Shao Haoqiang started doing it secretly several years ago.
It is not uncommon for people to be the first to eat crabs, but being the first person to eat crabs requires courage and vision. These are two completely different concepts.
Lin Yuhang had worked in a business before, so he knew this very well. After listening to the introduction of Shao Haoqiang, Lin Yuhang became very interested in this person and felt that he was a rare talent.
“How much did he invest in his factory?”
"I'm not sure about the specific investment, but I heard that Shao Haoqiang invested all the money he earned over the years into this factory. I estimate it must be at least 80,000 or 90,000 yuan, if not 100,000 yuan. He also rented the site of the former agricultural machinery station and hired someone to build a factory. He hired 20 to 30 workers some time ago. This is the largest private leather factory in our county."
"Oh, right! His factory was officially launched today, and he asked Jianjun to send me an invitation yesterday..."
"Oh, his factory is opening today? When?" Lin Yuhang asked curiously.
"It starts at ten."
Looking at his watch, it was just past nine o'clock. Lin Yuhang immediately asked Lao Wang where Shao Haoqiang's factory was. Lao Wang told Lin Yuhang the address. Lin Hang had been in Chao County for some time. He was familiar with the county because he often went there for research. He thought about it and smiled, "What a coincidence. It's not far away anyway. How about this, Lao Wang, let's go over and take a look? And by the way, congratulate Mr. Shao?"
"This...is this appropriate?" Old Wang didn't expect Lin Yuhang to suddenly have the urge to go to Shao Haoqiang's factory.
"What's inappropriate about this? Didn't he invite you? It would be inappropriate for you not to go. Besides, Mr. Shao is now a private entrepreneur in our county. As a county leader, I will go to congratulate him on the opening of the new factory, which is also a support for the county's economy. Let's go, we still have time to go now. By the way, it's not too late to go empty-handed, how about we give him a red envelope?"
Having said that, Lin Yuhang stood up and asked Lao Wang to leave. The two of them left the office and went downstairs. Just as they were about to ask the driver of the small car team to drive out, they didn't expect Song Yuanchao to drive a Crown car into the compound gate.
"Second brother!" Seeing Lin Yuhang and Lao Wang coming down from upstairs, Song Yuanchao leaned out of the car and shouted.
"Aiding Korea? Why are you here?"
"Didn't you call me here?" Song Yuanchao asked back. Lin Yuhang slapped his head and then he remembered that it was indeed him who called Song Yuanchao here, because he wanted to consult Song Yuanchao on some matters. Song Yuanchao happened to be back in Shanghai these days, and Lin Yuhang was too busy with work to spare the time. Yesterday, Song Yuanchao said on the phone that since they were close, he could just drive over.
"Sorry, I was so busy that I almost forgot. I have to go out now. How about you wait for me in my office?"
Song Yuanchao smiled and said it was okay, since he had nothing to do today. However, seeing Lin Yuhang and Lao Wang going out, he curiously asked where they were going. Lin Yuhang told him that a private factory was opening today and he planned to go over and take a look.
Upon hearing about this, Song Yuanchao immediately became interested and simply let Lin Yuhang and the others go in his car.
Lin Yuhang thought about it and realized that he couldn't just leave Song Yuanchao in his office waiting for him. Besides, Song Yuanchao could help him take a look, killing two birds with one stone. He didn't hesitate and asked Lao Wang to get in Song Yuanchao's car. Lao Wang sat in the passenger seat and pointed the way, heading directly towards Shao Haoqiang's factory.
The factory gate looks brand new today. A factory plaque with red silk wrapped around it hangs next to the gate. Shao Haoqiang and Qiu Jianjun, both in suits, stand side by side, welcoming the guests who come to congratulate them.
Song Yuanchao's car drove in from a distance and slowly stopped in front of the factory gate.
Seeing such a Crown car coming, Shao Haoqiang and Qiu Jianjun's attention was attracted by the car. After all, it was a rare and good car that had never been seen in Chao County.
When they saw the car stop, the passenger door opened, and Lao Wang got out of the car, their eyes suddenly lit up and they hurried to greet him.
But before he got close, he saw another person getting out of the back door of the car. Shao Haoqiang had never seen Lin Yuhang before, so he naturally didn't know him, but Qiu Jianjun recognized Lin Yuhang at a glance. He subconsciously stopped and showed a surprised expression on his face.
"What's wrong, Jianjun?"
"Lin...Why is County Mayor Lin here?"
"County Magistrate Lin? What County Magistrate Lin?"
"Did you see the man who got off the car with my senior brother? He was our county's new mayor, Lin. Why is he here?"
"County magistrate? Are you sure?"
"How could I have seen it wrong in broad daylight? I'm not nearsighted. Besides, I met County Magistrate Lin some time ago." Qiu Jianjun confirmed.
