Rebirth of the Industrial Tycoon

Although Xishan Copper agreed to deliver the goods, it was only a gentleman who did not do anything, and there was no sign that it was really about to deliver.

In desperation, Li Weidong just came to urge again.

The last time Li Weidong came with a letter from the ministry, and this time, Li Weidong did not have empty hands. He specially prepared some gifts. After all, it is not surprising that there are many people!

After seeing Liu Wenbin and explaining his purpose, Liu Wenbin showed a surprised look.

"It hasn't been shipped yet? How is this possible! I have already arranged it, and I will give you priority to supply the puppy electrical appliances! Our workers in Xishan Copper Co., Ltd. don't take my words as a deaf ear, there must be some link. question."

Liu Wenbin said, picked up the phone, and continued: "Chairman Li, wait a moment, I'll call now and ask what's going on!"

I saw Liu Wenbin dialing a number, and then with a concerned expression, he began to ask.

After a while, Liu Wenbin put down the phone and said apologetically: "Chairman Li, I'm really sorry, the crane used for loading goods in our workshop suddenly broke down and is now being repaired.

If it wasn't for the crane being broken, the shipment you asked for is already on its way. I also just found out about this, and I have already asked people to hurry up and repair it. As soon as the crane is repaired, it will be loaded for you! "

"The crane for loading is broken!" Li Weidong frowned slightly. He felt that it was not bad sooner or later, but it was bad at this time. There must be something wrong.

So Li Weidong said, "I don't know how long it will take for this crane to be repaired?"

"Well..." Liu Wenbin hesitated for a while and said, "It should be very soon."

Li Weidong continued: "Mr. Liu, we really need this batch of copper materials. Can you think of a way to make the workers work hard and load a batch of goods first?"

"Chairman Li, don't you know that copper is not as hard as steel. If there is a collision, it will be easily broken. Therefore, we have adopted mechanical loading and unloading very early to ensure safe production. , but also to ensure that the product will not be damaged.”

Liu Wenbin paused, then said, "But it is indeed our Xishan Copper's responsibility for not being able to deliver the goods in time. Well, let's have dinner together at noon today, and I'll take it as my apology for you!"

Liu Wenbin's attitude seemed very correct, and he apologized and held a banquet to make amends.

Even if Li Weidong knew that Liu Wenbin was looking for an excuse to delay time on purpose, he could not turn his face.

Then Li Weidong was invited to the lounge,

While waiting for lunch, some people served snacks and fruits, obviously meeting the reception's specifications.

But what Li Weidong wants is not the reception specifications, but the raw materials.

Sitting in the lounge, Li Weidong picked up an orange and peeled the orange, thinking about it in his heart.

"What kind of crane is broken, this Liu Wenbin is obviously delaying the time on purpose. It seems that the letter from the foreign trade department is not so useful! Or is it that Liu Wenbin has some backing, so he doesn't even give face to the ministries?

It's unlikely. If Liu Wenbin really has a big backer, he can't take the time to entertain me, so how can he make amends? Just put me aside. This shows that Liu Wenbin is still afraid of letters from the foreign trade department.

Or maybe the pressure wasn't enough, so Liu Wenbin planned to carry it. If this is the case, then we have to find a way to let Liu Wenbin know that it hurts! "

Li Weidong thought for a moment and felt that it was still through the foreign trade department as a means of exerting pressure.

"The best way is to go to Philips for help and urge the goods through Philips. The foreign trade department will definitely put pressure on Xishan Copper. But in this case, the time may be a bit slow, and the production will be delayed for a few days. ."

At this moment, Li Weidong's cell phone rang suddenly.

Li Weidong picked up the mobile phone, and a somewhat unfamiliar voice sounded: "Is it Chairman Li of Puppy Electric?"

"Ask me if I am Chairman Li, it seems that I am not an acquaintance!" Li Weidong secretly said in his heart.

If it is more than ten years later, Li Weidong will most likely feel that he has met a business manager of a financial institution, and he doesn't know where he got his phone number to come to pull business.

In 1997, the domestic capital operation was still in the enlightenment stage, and even the stock market was dominated by leeks, so he would definitely not be a business manager of a financial institution.

So Li Weidong answered: "I'm Li Weidong, who are you?"

"Chairman Li, I'm Xiao Chen from X! We met last time we held a financial seminar in Beijing! I wonder if you remember me?" Secretary Chen replied.

The figure of Secretary Chen immediately appeared in Li Weidong's mind, and he immediately said: "It turns out to be Secretary Chen! I don't dare to forget you if I forget anyone!"

After being polite for a while, Li Weidong asked, "I don't know what instructions Secretary Chen has?"

"How dare I give instructions! Our leaders have instructions." Secretary Chen continued: "Chairman Li, when you held the seminar last time, you made a judgment that Thailand's abandonment of the fixed exchange rate would cause the Asian financial crisis. .

And you also judged that the Asian financial crisis will spread to Hong Kong Island, and international financial speculators will attack the financial system of Hong Kong Island. Do you remember these? "

"Of course I do." Li Weidong went on to say; "I have been studying for a few years about a financial crisis in Asia, and I already came to this conclusion a few years ago."

Secretary Chen continued: "That's right, Chairman Li should have heard about the economic situation in Southeast Asian countries recently, right?

Your judgment on the economic situation of Southeast Asian countries is very accurate, so our leaders would like to invite you to come over and listen to your explanation in detail. In addition, there are a few more questions that I would like to ask in person. "

"Do you want me to report to the leader?" Li Weidong was shocked, and then immediately said, "When is it?"

"The sooner the better!" Secretary Chen replied.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and Li Weidong said immediately, "Okay, then I'll rush to the capital immediately."

But in the next second, Li Weidong had another strategy in his mind, so he immediately added: "I'll go to the train station now and sell train tickets to the capital!"

"Train tickets?" Secretary Chen on the other side of the phone was slightly taken aback.

Li Weidong continued: "The train ticket should not be nervous now, if I am lucky, I may be able to buy a train ticket to Beijing tomorrow.

If it really doesn't work, I'll look for scalpers, and there must be tickets for scalpers. If all goes well, we will be able to go to the capital the day after tomorrow night! "

"Can you come the night after tomorrow? Chairman Li, where are you now?" Secretary Chen couldn't help asking.

"I'm in Xishan! Xishan Copper Company, let's talk about business here." Li Weidong replied.

"Xishan? It's more than a thousand kilometers to the capital!" Secretary Chen's voice was a little depressing.

Before 1997, all the railways in China were ordinary passenger trains, which are what we now call green cars.

Fast passenger trains appeared only after the first speed increase of national railways in 1997. The ticket of the fast passenger train starts with K, which is the so-called K prefix train. Because the carriage is red, it is also called the red leather car.

In 2000, the railway speed was increased for the third time, and there were express trains with the prefix T; in 2004, the railway speed was increased for the fifth time, and there were direct express trains with the prefix Z.

After 2008, the domestic high-speed rail began to develop, and now many people will choose the D-shaped train or the G-shaped high-speed rail when traveling.

In 1997, the K prefix train just appeared, and the K prefix train only stopped in big cities or provincial capitals at that time.

Xishan is an ordinary prefecture-level city, so there is no qualification to stop the K-shaped train. From Xishan to Beijing, you can only use ordinary green leather cars.

Before the first train speed increase, the average speed of domestic passenger trains was less than 50 kilometers per hour. After the speed increase, it reached an average speed of 55 kilometers per hour.

And this also includes K-shaped express trains with a speed of more than 90 kilometers per hour, which boosted the average data. That is to say, the average speed of ordinary green leather cars at that time was less than 55 kilometers per hour.

In this way, from Xishan to the capital, the distance of more than 1,000 kilometers, if you take an ordinary green leather car, you have to walk for more than 20 hours.

Arriving in the evening the day after tomorrow, it will take time to report to the leader. Secretary Chen remembered the word "immediately" instructed by the leader, which means that the leader doesn't want to wait until the day after tomorrow!

So Secretary Chen said immediately: "Chairman Li, the leader's schedule is relatively tight, so he can't wait for such a long time. Otherwise, you can wait at Xishan Copper Company, and I will have someone drive you to the capital. ?"

"No problem, I'll listen to your arrangement! I'll be waiting at Xishan Copper Industry!" Li Weidong replied with a smile.

Secretary Chen immediately called Xishan City and arranged for a vehicle to pick up Li Weidong.

After solving the problem of the vehicle, Secretary Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then said to himself: "This Li Weidong should also be a big boss worth several hundred million, why do you have to take a train when you go out? What a shame!"

...

The secretary knocked on the door and came in and said, "Mr. Liu, it's time, it's time for lunch."

"Wait a minute, I've finished reading these documents." Liu Wenbin said.

"Mr. Liu, Chairman Li of Puppy Electric is waiting for you in the lounge!" the secretary reminded.

"Why did you forget him!" Liu Wenbin sighed helplessly, and then said, "What should be dealt with, you still have to deal with it, let's go and eat!"

Liu Wenbin said, stood up, and walked out the door.

As soon as I walked to the door, I saw the director of the office hurried over. After seeing Liu Wenbin, he immediately said:

"Mr. Liu, I just received a notice from the city that Secretary Wang is coming to inspect the work!"

"When will Secretary Wang come?" Liu Wenbin asked immediately.

"Say it's on its way, it's coming soon!" the office director replied.

"It's almost there?" Liu Wenbin was stunned for a moment, then looked at his watch, and then said, "It's already lunchtime, right? Why did you come to inspect the work at such a time? Are you here for lunch?"

Liu Wenbin was sensitive to a trace of abnormal breath.

Secretary Wang is definitely not bad for this meal, so naturally it is impossible to come here for a meal, which means that the leader came to inspect the work this time for a very important purpose.

Although he didn't know what Secretary Wang was here to inspect, he still had to receive the reception, so Liu Wenbin opened his mouth and instructed, "Go and see who the vice presidents are still in the company, and immediately go to the door to greet the leader!

Let's go to the office and set up the conference room. By the way, take the company's work summary for the first half of the year. If necessary, I can also report our work to the leaders! "

...

An Audi car slowly drove into the gate of Xishan Copper.

Liu Wenbin looked at it from a distance and recognized that it was Secretary Wang's special car.

But Liu Wenbin immediately found out that behind Secretary Wang's car, there was also a black Lincoln City.

Liu Wenbin frowned sharply, and asked the office director beside him, "Why are there still foreign guests here?"

"When I received a call from the city, I didn't say there were foreign guests!" The office director showed a wronged expression, and then continued: "I immediately went to Xiao Zhang. He is a college student and understands English."

The black Lincoln City was specially used by Xishan City to receive foreign guests, and other people were not eligible to ride, so when Liu Wenbin saw this car, his first reaction was that foreign guests came.

After the car stopped, I saw Secretary Wang getting out of the Audi, but there was no one on the Lincoln behind.

Liu Wenbin hurried up to meet him and said, "Secretary Wang, you are welcome to come and guide the work!"

However, Secretary Wang ignored Liu Wenbin's enthusiasm, and asked directly: "Li Weidong, chairman of Puppy Electric, are you here?"

"Li Weidong?" Liu Wenbin was stunned for a while, then nodded: "I am here. Secretary Wang, how do you know that Chairman Li is here with me?"

Secretary Wang looked anxious and said, "Stop talking nonsense, take me to see him!"

Liu Wenbin blinked innocently, dare you not come to inspect our work, but specifically to find Li Weidong?

...

After personally sending Li Weidong to the Lincoln City, Secretary Wang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Wenbin next to him looked puzzled. He didn't understand why Secretary Wang came to find Li Weidong in person, and even put him in the luxury car specially designed to receive foreign guests.

So Liu Wenbin asked, "Secretary Wang, who are you?"

"That's right, Office X called me personally and asked the city to immediately send a car to take Li Weidong to the capital, saying that the leader was eager to meet him!" Secretary Wang replied.

"X to do? Which X to do?" Liu Wenbin had another confused expression.

Secretary Wang made an upward pointing motion, and said at the same time, "If I can come and run in person, can I still have X to do it?

This Li Weidong can be personally met by the leader, and he is in such a hurry, it seems very unusual! Entrepreneurs with such backgrounds have to maintain their relationships well. It would be even better if they could come to invest! "

Hearing this, Liu Wenbin's expression suddenly froze!

Secretary Wang went on to say: "I heard from the secretary Chen of X's office that Li Weidong was going to take the train to the capital, but the leader's schedule was rather tight, so he must be unable to wait, so he asked us to send a car to deliver it.

I remember that this puppy appliance is also a relatively well-known home appliance brand in China, right? Why is Li Weidong so stingy, he has to take the train to go out? Such a big company, are you afraid that it can't burn oil? Selling a few microwave ovens will make money! "

However, Liu Wenbin didn't seem to hear Secretary Wang's words.

Seeing beads of sweat the size of beans, coming out of Liu Wenbin's head, he asked in a trembling voice, "Secretary Wang, do you have any other instructions?"

"It's alright, I'm here mainly to deliver a car to Chairman Li." Secretary Wang said, looked at Liu Wenbin, and asked, "Mr. Liu, why are you sweating so much? Your face seems to be a little bit dark. Pale, is there something uncomfortable?"

Liu Wenbin said, "If you have no other instructions, then I'll excuse you!"

Secretary Wang was stunned for a while, thinking to himself, it's already noon, so even if you don't want to take care of your meals, how can you be polite? Even if you are rude, you have to accompany it!

What the hell is this straight away! Don't take me as a leader! Afraid that I will eat you poor?

So Secretary Wang asked, "Mr. Liu, do you have anything else?"

Liu Wenbin cried and said, "There is a batch of goods, I have to arrange to send it out! It will be too late if it is too late!"
