Chapter 160 A little shock
Jinfeng Business Building, reception room.
“The newly arrived Pu’er, let’s try it together!”
Xu Zhiquan stood up with a smile, walked to the large tea table, and began to make tea by himself.
Xu Chen and Fang Jun followed and sat down.
Xu Zhiquan said while washing and making tea:
"There is one more thing that I just want to discuss with you two.
At this afternoon’s meeting, Vice Mayor Wu Yongming asked me a question.
He said that if we follow the reported plan and transform the machinery factory into an electric vehicle factory, do we need some help from the city..."
Fang Jun picked up the tea cup and took a sip:
"Has the leader already hinted so straightforwardly?"
Xu Zhiquan laughed:
"Mayor Wu is a good leader with a clear mind and sincerely wants to develop Tiancheng's economy.
In addition to being a relatively obvious hint, the question he asked was indeed a serious inquiry.
So how to answer requires careful weighing.
You two help me with my advice. If you really want me to make requests, what can I ask for? ”
Fang Jun said:
"First of all, of course, it is a matter of funds...
After getting the machine factory, whether it is a mortgage or a loan, the money you can get from a commercial bank can be calculated.
If the city can provide policy support, we will be able to raise more funds.
There are also some places that will provide companies with low-interest or even interest-free loans, but of course these will be more difficult to apply for..."
Xu Zhiquan listened and nodded silently.
Fang Jun thought again:
“There is also the introduction of electric vehicle production lines. If the city or province can come forward, it will be much easier.
Of course, this requires us to first give some target companies and specific production line introduction plans. ”
Xu Zhiquan nodded seriously, picked up the teapot and filled Fang Jun with a cup.
"Teacher Fang said it very well!"
Xu Chen couldn't help but nod:
"That's great! Teacher Fang only worked in finance at the machinery factory, which was really a waste of talent."
Fang Jun: "Teacher Xiao Xu is serious. I did two projects with you, the Shanghai City Project and the Machinery Factory Project, and I learned a lot!"
Xu Chen: "..."
Xu Zhiquan laughed heartily:
"Now, you both are my teachers!"
Xu Chen thought for a while and said:
"I think there is one more request I can make, but it may be a bit early to make it now, and I have to be cautious in how I make it..."
Xu Zhiquan poured a cup of tea for his son.
Xu Chen: "Our first electric vehicle is on the market. Even with Xie Bingran's promotion assistance, it will still take some time to increase sales.
If there are some designated purchases in the city..."
Xu Zhiquan laughed:
"We are not only asking for money from the city, but also asking the city to buy our output..."
……
……
Both Fang Tao and Cheng Yong successfully joined the company and lived with Li Rui in a dormitory in the town's factory area.
They quickly became very familiar with their third uncle and fourth uncle.
Xu Zhiquan didn't have much social activities outside in the past two days, and it was rare for him to have free time and hardly go out.
Li Rui took Fang Tao and Cheng Yong to work on seedlings and potted plants with his third uncle Zhang Yongqing.
They are all children from rural areas. They are very good at working in the fields and can get started.
Xu Chen had nothing to do while waiting for his college entrance examination results, and he didn't want to kill time playing games every day, so he stayed in the factory area and tinkered with flowers and trees.
After doing it for two or three days, I gradually started to have fun, and I also understood a little bit why my third uncle Zhang Yongqing was addicted to it.
Taking care of these flowers and plants really makes people feel peaceful and peaceful.
……
At noon that day, the sound of a car suddenly came from outside.
Several people stood up and took a look, and saw two figures, one tall and one short, walking in.
It turned out to be Fang Jun and Yang Congxin.
Xu Zhiquan was also busy working with Zhang Yongqing. He was wearing work clothes and his hands were full of mud.
He stood up and saw the two of them, and laughed:
"Why did you two find it yourself?"
Yang Congxin adjusted his black-rimmed glasses and said with a smile:
“We are also here to visit Mr. Xu’s seedling business!”
Fang Jun said:
"You can't be idle every day. The salary of a white-collar worker is Mr. Xu.
I've been idle for the past two days, so let's come here to help! ”
Xu Zhiquan spread his dirty hands:
"This is all dirty work, and this is not where you two college students should be busy."
Xu Chen said: "Dad, what you said is that my third uncle is also a college student!"
Third uncle Zhang Yongqing stood up and said with some embarrassment:
"I studied this major myself, and I also like it..."
Fang Jun and Director Yang also felt it was new, and they were busy with everyone in the afternoon.
Third uncle Zhang Yongqing transformed into a "technical guide" and explained various professional knowledge of grafting and cultivation in detail.
There was still a wait at the machinery factory. In the next few days, Fang Jun and Director Yang actually came to help every day.
Xu Zhiquan also took a day to take the two of them to look at several projects, including the newly contracted land in Beishan and Chengxi.
Yang Congxin still felt a little emotional:
"Mr. Xu is such a capable person. He can grow a small seedling to such a large scale!"
Xu Zhiquan said half-jokingly:
"The main thing is the direction given by Xu Chen, and I, Mr. Xu, am responsible for executing it."
……
……
In addition, Xu Zhiquan made many phone calls in the past two days.
Mainly because the case in the past few days has been dragging on, which has made him worried.
Xu Zhiquan relied on some connections to find a way to inquire about the progress of the case, and at the same time put some faint pressure on it...
Fang Tao and Cheng Yong didn't have driver's licenses yet, so Xu Zhiquan arranged for them to take some time to learn to drive.
Xu Chen thought for a while and signed up together.
Xu Chen was an experienced driver for more than ten years in his previous life, but now he does not have a driver's license and it is difficult to drive without a license.
I just happened to take advantage of the gap before going to college to take the driver's license test. The driving school is in the town, so it's easy to get back and forth.
On the first day of driving practice, Li Rui sent Xu Chen and the others to the gate of the driving school.
Fang Tao and Cheng Yong smoked cigarettes and were a little reserved in front of Xu Chen.
Compared to "Brother Rui", their personalities are obviously more honest and gentle.
Xu Chen kept laughing and chatting with them about Brother Bing's gossip.
Fang Tao and Xie Bingran were from the same village, so they talked about Xie Bingran's old house. The village committee really helped renovate it all.
There is also a special nameplate hung at the door, similar to the name "Home of Champions".
After Xie Bingran won the championship in Shanghai, the village committee specially organized all the villagers to watch the news report of Xie Bingran's victory on a projection screen in the square in front of the team.
The two village men who had asked the matchmaker to arrange marriage were laughed at by the villagers and dared not go out.
Fang Tao also mentioned something that made Xu Chen a little concerned.
Xie Bingran's mother, who had remarried a long time ago, appeared in the village one evening.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
She came to the Xie family's house and stood there for a while...
But she did nothing, said nothing, and left alone again.
……
……
The weather is hot.
The three of them stood in the shade of the tree, still waiting for the coach's arrangements.
A crisp voice suddenly sounded from behind:
"Xu Chen?"
Xu Chen looked back and saw a girl who was wrapped up tightly and wearing a big sun hat and a mask.
He couldn't identify it for a moment, so he was stunned.
The girl took off her mask, revealing a beautiful face. She turned out to be Feng Qingqing, the daughter of Mayor Feng's family.
Xu Chen smiled:
"What a coincidence. Are you here to learn to drive too?"
Feng Qingqing walked to the shade of the tree. Perhaps because of her outfit, she showed a hint of embarrassment:
"Yes, I took the driver's license test during the holiday."
Xu Chen thought about it and found that it was not surprising at all to meet Feng Qingqing here.
After all, there are only two driving schools in the town...
Feng Qingqing: "How was your college entrance examination?"
Xu Chen smiled: "I don't know, I'm waiting for the score."
Feng Qingqing: "I definitely didn't do as well as you did."
Xu Chen: "No, I feel good about myself."
Feng Qingqing: "That's not true..."
Xu Chen laughed and said nothing more.
Feng Qingqing: "Which city are you going to go to college in? Have you decided yet?"
Xu Chen: "Not yet, let's wait until the results come out."
……
While Xu Chen and Feng Qingqing were chatting, Fang Tao and Cheng Yong stood aside without saying a word.
They both looked at each other with strange expressions.
Xu Chen drank a bottle of water, caught a glimpse of the strange looks in these two people's eyes, and secretly thought something bad.
Okay...
These two are the younger brothers of "Brother Bing".
Who knows if Brother Bing told them something, "keep an eye on Xu Chen" or something like that...
Just when Xu Chen felt a little embarrassed, Feng Qingqing whispered:
"My dad took me to watch a game two days ago..."
Xu Chen: "Huh?"
Feng Qingqing: "It's the women's 100-meter hurdles. My dad said that the girl who won the championship is from our town. Her name is Xie Bingran."
Mayor Feng Wenjiang had attended Grandma Xie Bingran's funeral, so he naturally knew her.
Xu Chen didn't speak, waiting for Feng Qingqing to finish talking.
Feng Qingqing raised her head and glanced at Xu Chen:
"Xie Bingran...is the girl you bought shoes, clothes and bags for, right?"
Xu Chen laughed: "Yes!"
He suddenly froze again.
Buy her shoes, clothes and bags...
Buy her sneakers, sportswear, a backpack...
These two sentences obviously have similar meanings, but why do they feel so different in atmosphere?
Feng Qingqing didn't know what Xu Chen was talking about, so she lowered her head and said softly:
"Then she is indeed excellent..."
Xu Chen didn't say anything and smiled slightly awkwardly.
Just when Xu Chen didn't know how to continue the topic, a coach in the distance shouted:
"Feng Qingqing, it's your turn to practice driving!"
Feng Qingqing turned around and responded, then said to Xu Chen:
"Then I'll go there first!"
Xu Chen smiled: "Okay, let's talk later."
When Feng Qingqing walked away, the strange looks in Fang Tao and Cheng Yong's eyes softened slightly.
Xu Chen looked helpless, raised his head and drank a few large sips of water.
After waiting for a while, a dark and bald coach came over.
Driving school instructors are generally very aggressive and scolding.
But Xu Zhiquan should have said hello in advance. The bald coach was obviously very gentle when facing the three of them.
Especially when talking to Xu Chen, he was polite.
"Let's practice starting the car first, as well as simply pressing the clutch and shifting into gear."
Xu Chen thought for a moment, this was too inefficient and wasted a lot of time. The training ground was unbearably hot.
He stretched out his hand towards Fang Tao. Fang Tao was stunned for a moment, then he understood and took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it over.
Xu Chen took out one and handed it to the coach politely.
"Coach, I want to practice subject two directly..."
The bald coach took the cigarette and put it on his ear.
"Okay...you try it first.
I'm sitting in the passenger seat. If it doesn't fit, I'll have to hit the brakes! ”
……
So in the next twenty minutes, Xu Chen's more than ten years of driving experience in his previous life gave the coach, Fang Tao and Cheng Yong a little shock.
