Rebirth of the Industrial Tycoon

Chapter 535: A tragedy caused by a car

"Give me a three-bedroom apartment? You can choose at will? Then why are you hesitating? Agree quickly! It's not like you don't know how expensive a house in the capital is! With your current salary, if you want to buy an apartment in the capital, you have to Save for most of your life!”

Looking at his wife with an excited expression, Yue Ping'an let out a helpless sigh.

"What do you, a woman, know? After all, Fukang Agricultural Machinery is a private enterprise. It is not as guaranteed as a state-owned enterprise. If it fails to perform well and goes bankrupt, I will not even have a job!" Yue Ping An said.

"As if state-owned enterprises will never go bankrupt and close down?" The wife snorted coldly, and then said: "If state-owned enterprises will never go bankrupt and close down, where will those laid-off workers come from?"

Yue Ping An retorted: "At my level, even if I'm laid off, it won't be my turn!"

"Yes, you are quite high-ranking, and you are the vice-president of the labor union!" My wife couldn't help but mock.

The words "vice president of the trade union" instantly stung Yue Ping An.

However, Yue An'an still said stiffly: "Even if I become the vice chairman of the labor union, I will be guaranteed at least! I will get a penny for my salary."

"Is that little guarantee worth a fraction of half a million a year?" The wife snorted coldly.

The couple suddenly fell into silence.

After a while, the wife finally said, "I know that you will feel conflicted if I ask you to go to the private sector, but you have to think about our son. Now is the critical period for our son to enter college. The housing problem has been solved. He can also read with peace of mind.

To put it another way, we have an apartment in the capital. Even if he fails to get into Tsinghua University and Peking University in the future, it will be more convenient for him to get into an ordinary university and stay in the capital after graduation. "

At this time, Yue Ping'an had also calmed down. After thinking about it carefully, he found that his wife's words indeed made sense.

Although Fukang Agricultural Machinery is not as stable as Dayang Group, it can at least earn his son a three-bedroom apartment in the capital, plus a salary of 500,000 yuan a year. Even if he works for two or three years, he will have enough money for retirement.

Yue Ping An finally let out a long sigh: "Forget it, for the sake of our son, I will risk my life this time!"

Uncle He introduced more than a dozen talents to Li Weidong, but in the end only Yue An was willing to join Fukang Agricultural Machinery.

Li Weidong was already satisfied if he could recruit a talent.

Under normal circumstances, the talents who have been streamlined from these ministries and commissions will be top-ranking leading cadres when they return to their original companies. How could they condescend to go to a private enterprise like Fukang Agricultural Machinery.

Thanks to Yue Ping An's original workplace, he didn't want to see him and only arranged for him to be the vice chairman of the labor union. As long as Dayang Group arranges some positions for Yue Angan, he will not come to Fukang Agricultural Machinery.

The tiger-headed car stopped at the door. When the driver saw Li Weidong coming out, he quickly stepped forward and opened the door.

"Chairman, where are we going?" the driver asked.

"Go to Zhonghong Automobile Trade. Manager Zhang there called and said that the car I ordered before has arrived." Li Weidong smiled at the driver and continued: "Old Liu, I will give you a new car this time. America’s Cadillac!”

The driver, Old Liu, chuckled and continued: "Chairman, please don't dismiss me. I am a driver. I will drive whatever car you want to take!"

Ever since Li Weidong rode in that big Lincoln last time, he couldn't forget the comfort of the American luxury brand, so he went to an automobile trading company and ordered a Cadillac.

Although Hutouben is also a top-notch luxury car, it always has a feeling of nouveau riche. Compared with it, Cadillac is definitely more prestigious and more business-like.

After all, it is the car of the President of the United States, and it inherently carries an aura of respect.

When Li Weidong came to the automobile trading company, the company's manager Zhang had been waiting for a long time.

"Chairman Li, the car you ordered has just been completed in the morning. We went to the customs and picked up the car. Please come here and I will take you to see the car." Manager Zhang said and nodded. He led Li Weidong to see the car.

In the warehouse behind, Li Weidong saw an extended version of Cadillac Fleetwood.

"Chairman Li, the extended version of the Cadillac Fleetwood is the one that US President Clinton rides. The tires of this car are explosion-proof. Even if they are punctured, they can continue to drive forward." Manager Zhang said introduced.

"Are the car doors bulletproof? Even the glass of the US president's car is bulletproof." Li Weidong asked with a smile.

"Well, although it's not bulletproof, the car door is quite thick. After all, American cars are made of a lot of materials, and they are not like Japanese cars that look like paper shells. I thought that ordinary bullets would not be able to penetrate this car door. "

As Manager Zhang spoke, he took out the car key and continued, "Chairman Li, let's go in and take a look. The leather seats inside are more comfortable than the sofa. They are definitely luxurious enough. And you see, the car key is also gold-plated." Woolen cloth!"

The Fleetwood is equipped with a remote control key, but the car still needs a key to start, and the trunk also needs to be opened.

In order to show the class of luxury cars, Fleetwood's car keys are all gold-plated. If you go to a nightclub and put this car key on the table, it will be so bright that it will blind your eyes.

Li Weidong walked into the car. There was a lot of space inside, and the seats were indeed more comfortable than the sofa. Interior materials are mainly made of leather and mahogany.

Moreover, this car uses a fluorescent electronic instrument panel, and the central control is also equipped with a Sony TV screen, which is full of technology.

Manager Zhang then introduced: "Chairman Li, please see, this seat has the function of inflating and heating. After inflating, the waist area will bulge. It also has this heating function. If you use it in winter, it will be like sitting on an electric heater." Same as on the blanket!”

"Not bad!" Li Weidong nodded with satisfaction. This Fleetwood is indeed the best among luxury cars. Since the seat heating and lumbar support, these functions are only available in many high-end models even in later generations.

"The elongated one does look quite impressive. If you drive this thing out to discuss business, it is indeed more popular than the tiger head running. For those who don't know, it's because a foreign head of state is here! After a few years, it will be eliminated and it will still be there. You can take it to a wedding," Li Weidong thought to himself.

A few years later, these obsolete American luxury cars have indeed become the favorite products of wedding companies.

"Okay, Manager Zhang, thank you for your hard work. You can open the invoice and I will arrange the financial payment." Li Weidong said.

"Okay, I will send the car and the invoice to you in a while." Manager Zhang's face suddenly showed a ray of joy. This kind of luxury car is expensive, and even if he doesn't sell one, he will earn five figures. commission, which was a considerable amount of income at the time.

At this time, the noise was heard from not far away.

"Mr. Zhao, why don't you go to the lounge and wait for a while."

"No, I just want to take a look! By the way, I heard that you just picked up a Cadillac from the customs this morning, and it's an extended Cadillac. It's the same as the one the President of the United States rides. Where is it? Come and have a look!"

Following this voice, a young man in his twenties came over. This man was dressed very fashionably and looked like a Hong Kong star. He had a hairstyle like Iori Yagami in The King of Fighters, with his hair covering his lower half. The face was also dyed yellow.

At the time, this was definitely a very avant-garde look. For example, the Korean hot group had this style. At that time, many young people who were pursuing avant-garde would imitate this kind of dress.

Seeing this person coming from a distance, Li Weidong thought to himself: "Where did this guy come from?"

But Manager Zhang hurried up to greet you and said with an apologetic smile: "Mr. Zhao, you are here, why didn't you say anything in advance so that I could welcome you personally!"

"No need, this isn't the first time I've gotten up here." Washer curled her lips and continued, "I heard that your company just bought a nice car, it's said to be the kind that the President of the United States sits in." ?”

"Mr. Zhao, how did you know?" Manager Zhang asked.

"What can you hide from me in these forty-nine cities? There are good cars coming into the port from the customs. Can you please let me know?" Xi Jian Chui said, looking at the extended version of the Cadillac Fleetwood in the distance. , said; "That's the one!"

Manager Zhang secretly thought something was wrong, but he couldn't deny it and had no choice but to nod.

"The car of the President of the United States is so elegant!" Xi Jianchui stepped forward, not paying attention to Li Weidong next to him, but got directly into the car and felt it.

After a while, Xi Jianchui stepped out of the car and extended his hand to Manager Zhang: "It's a nice car. Give me the keys. I'll drive away. Come back and get the money from me."

"Mr. Zhao, I'm really sorry, we have already ordered this car. If you like it, I will order another one for you. If it is quick, it will arrive in more than a month." Manager Zhang said with a smile.

"Don't you understand what I'm saying? Bring me the car keys!" Xi Jian Chui's face darkened.

"Mr. Zhao, what I said is true. Another boss ordered the car a few months ago and it will be delivered soon. We must also be honest in doing business." Manager Zhang said.

"The car is about to be delivered soon? Does that mean the car hasn't been delivered yet? Well, you don't have to hand over the car, just hand it over to me!" Xi Jian Fuki said.

Manager Zhang said with an embarrassed look on his face: "Mr. Zhao, if this is the case, it will be hard for me to explain to my customers!"

"It's your business how to explain it to the customer! Didn't you just say that if it takes more than a month, another one can come in? Then let him wait for another month!" Xi Jian Chui said with an arrogant look.

Manager Zhang had no choice but to look at Li Weidong next to him with a helpless expression.

Li Weidong also didn't expect that a washer and blowjob would suddenly appear and want to cut off his beard. Moreover, listening to the tone of this washer and blowjob, he already knew Manager Zhang's attitude towards the washer, shear and blowjob. Small.

Li Weidong coughed dryly, stepped forward and said, "Manager Zhang may not have made it clear just now. This Cadillac is not about to be delivered soon, but has already been delivered."

"Who are you? What does it have to do with you whether you hand over the car or not?" Xi Jian Chui asked blankly.

"I ordered this car! I'm here to pick up the car today." Li Weidong replied.

"That's just right. I'll give this car to me. Just wait for another month and it's settled!" Xi Jian said carelessly.

"Why should I give you my car?" Li Weidong asked with a smile.

"Why? Haha, don't you know who I am?" Xi Jian Chui looked Li Weidong up and down and then said, "You are in business, right? Do you believe that I will stop your business?"

Li Weidong was surprised by Xi Jian Chui's arrogant look. He was a little unsure whether Xi Jian Chui was really awesome or a bluff.

At this time, Manager Zhang came over and whispered in Li Wei's ear: "Chairman Li, Mr. Zhao's backstage is very tough. It's better not to provoke him. For a car, no one is worth it." Come and let me get another one for you, and the sky will be brighter for you!”

Li Weidong knew that Manager Zhang would not lie to him, not to mention that the ground in the capital was full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. If a brick fell from the sky, it might hit a powerful person.

Li Weidong, a veteran in shopping malls, is naturally a man who can bend and stretch, and he will not fight a battle that is uncertain. Even if you want to counterattack, you have to figure out who your opponent is and find the opponent's weaknesses.

So Li Weidong nodded slightly and said, "Manager Zhang, I'm a little thirsty."

Manager Zhang understood that Li Weidong was listening to the advice and was willing to take a step back to drag the sky down.

Li Weidong was willing to give in, which was the best thing for Manager Zhang. At least neither party would have to offend, so he quickly replied: "I have good tea there! Please invite Chairman Li to my office!"

Li Weidong was drinking tea and waiting in Manager Zhang's office. After a while, Manager Zhang also came to the office. The Cadillac he wanted to see had already been driven away by the cleaners.

"Chairman Li, I'm really sorry for you! But don't worry, I will contact the United States now and get another one exactly the same for you! I will declare it to you as quickly as possible and try to get it within a month. A new car for you!" Manager Zhang said apologetically.

"It doesn't matter. I am also a businessman and I know the difficulties of doing business." Li Weidong paused and then asked, "But what is the origin of the washing, cutting and blowing just now?"

"Washing, cutting and blowing?" Manager Zhang reacted for a moment before he understood: "Oh, you are talking about Mr. Zhao, right? He is not an ordinary backstage guy!"

Manager Zhang sighed and continued, "The Zhao family has been very popular in recent years. I have heard in the past two days that the third son of the Zhao family has set up a financial investment company on Hong Kong Island. He has been speculating in foreign exchange in the past few months. , made hundreds of millions!”

Li Weidong suddenly remembered a person, so he asked: "The third son of the Zhao family? Open a financial investment company in Hong Kong? Are you still speculating in foreign exchange recently? What is his name?"

"The three sons of the Zhao family, the eldest is called Zhao Jinhai, the second is called Zhao Jinhe, and the third is called Zhao Jinshan."

"Zhao Jinshan?" Li Weidong remembered that at the previous economic seminar, the middle-aged man with a smile on his face asked him about the direction of foreign exchange speculation like a dog.

"Isn't Zhao Jinshan the third uncle who washes, cuts and blows?" Li Weidong asked

"Yes, Mr. Zhao is the son of the boss, Zhao Jinhai, and Zhao Jinshan is his third uncle." Manager Zhang introduced.

"That's a coincidence!" Li Weidong smiled slightly, took out his business card holder, found Zhao Jinshan's business card, and then dialed his phone number.

"Hey, Mr. Zhao! I'm Li Weidong!"

When Zhao Jinshan heard that it was Li Weidong, his voice sounded a little flattered.

"Chairman Li, why are you thinking of calling me?"

After the two exchanged some pleasantries, Li Weidong said, "Mr. Zhao, I want to buy a new car recently. It's best to have a more stylish car. It will look good when I drive it out, and it will also be easier to talk about business. I know you have a lot of connections." , I wonder if you can help me pay attention to this matter."

"No problem!" Zhao Jinshan replied without hesitation: "Chairman Li, I will arrange for someone to handle this matter for you immediately! Give me an address, and I will find a car and deliver it directly to you. You are satisfied!”
