Material Empire

Qin Hai is not qualified to participate in the small banquet attended by ministers and governors. He originally planned to have a working meal with Xiang Jiyong and others, but he was stopped by Chen Rongkun as soon as he left the venue, saying that there was a person from Hongyuan Provincial guests asked to see him by name.

Many people came from all over the country for this on-site meeting, some were sent by enterprises that wanted to participate in the production of auto parts, some were sent by industrial bureaus at various levels in other provinces and cities, and some were sent by themselves The Qingfeng factory couldn't screen out the inexplicable people who came, they could only arrange to attend the meeting without rejecting them, and arrange a light meal after the meeting. Of course, Qingfeng Factory can't control things like accommodation.

Chen Rongkun, the director of the office and chief of the administrative section, was in charge of receiving these guests. When he was about to take the guests to dinner, someone asked him if there was a worker named Qin Hai in Qingfeng Factory. Chen Rongkun didn't think much about it. He immediately called Qin Hai over.

"You want to find me?" Qin Hai looked at the stranger wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a suit and leather shoes in front of him, and asked strangely. He didn't think that he was so famous that people in Hongyuan Province could come to him in admiration.

"Are you Mr. Qin Hai?" the stranger asked.

Qin Hai nodded and said, "I am, may I ask you..."

"My name is Chen Hongcheng, and Yabo is an employee of my company." The stranger introduced himself.

"Yabo..." Qin Hai was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered who the other party was. The Yabo mentioned by the stranger must be the Su Yabo that Qin Hai met in Quwu before, and this Chen Hongcheng is Su Yabo's boss.

Before Qin Hailin left Quwu, he gave his contact information to several people in the same room at the guest house. Chen Hongcheng obviously got Qin Hai's contact information from Su Yabo, and then he got in touch with him.

"So it's Mr. Chen, sorry for your disrespect." Qin Hai said politely, and at the same time extended his hand to Chen Hongcheng to show his friendship. Chen Hongcheng called him Mr. Qin Hai, which is not popular nowadays. Since Chen Hongcheng wanted to show off his level of integration with the world, Qin Hai naturally had to call him Mr. Chen in a proper manner.

Chen Hongcheng shook hands with Qin Hai briefly, and then said: "Mr. Qin, I came to your factory to attend the on-site meeting of the localization of Pusang auto parts. Yabo told me that he has a friend in Pingyuan, so I took the liberty of contacting you."

"Mr. Chen is being polite. What is this presumptuous? Yabo and I are friends, and Mr. Chen is naturally my friend too. How can there be a reason why a friend doesn't say hello when he comes?" Qin Hai said perfunctorily, while pondering in his heart Seeing Chen Hongcheng's intentions.

"Is it convenient for Mr. Qin, let me treat you to a light meal." Chen Hongcheng warmly invited.

Speaking to this extent, Qin Hai knew that the other party must have something to discuss with him. He said: "Mr. Chen is here. Naturally, I am the host. When I was in Quwu, Yabo also helped me a lot. Well, Mr. Chen, there are so many customers in the factory, and there is no way to do it for me. Mr. Chen arranged, you take my car, let's go to a quieter place to eat."

"Your car?" Chen Hongcheng couldn't help being taken aback.

Qin Hai smiled slightly and did not answer. He took Chen Hongcheng to the downstairs of the single dormitory, took out the key and opened the door of his jeep, and signaled to Chen Hongcheng: "Mr. Chen, please get in the car. If there is any problem, we are here. Let's talk again."

"That's fine, that's fine." Chen Hongcheng was a person who dared to venture into the sea, so his mind was naturally extremely flexible, and he knew that some things should not be discussed in detail on certain occasions. He got into the car, sat on the passenger seat, Qin Hai started the car, took Chen Hongcheng out of Qingfeng Factory, and drove towards the steel factory.

"Is Mr. Qin the driver of your factory? Yabo told me earlier that you were in the procurement business." Sitting in the car, Chen Hongcheng still didn't understand Qin Hai's identity. In those days, it was unimaginable to own a car privately, and it was also unimaginable that other people could drive besides the full-time driver of the unit. Chen Hongcheng naturally thought that Qin Hai was the driver of the leader of the unit. As for being able to drive the car so casually, it must be because he was trusted by the leader.

Qin Hai didn't want to explain too much, he drove to the steel factory. The old Wangtou, who was guarding the door, opened the door for Qin Hai and greeted Qin Hai affectionately: "Gong Qin is back, have you eaten yet?"

"No, bring a friend over for dinner." Qin Hai replied.

"Oh, let's go, I see Mrs. Qin bought beef today, you should go there early, don't let her do away with it all." Old Wangtou said rather gossip.

The Mrs. Qin that the old Wangtou mentioned was Qin Hai's mother, Zong Huiying, and the old Wangtou was named after Qin Hai's father, Qin Minghua. Before the Spring Festival this year, Qin Hai had already moved his family from Jiangshan County to Pingyuan County. Zong Huiying had nothing to do in the factory, so she managed the canteen of the steel factory and made good meals for the workers in different ways every day. The meals we ate were well received by the workers. The size of the cafeteria has gradually expanded, and it has the ability to receive customers. Qin Hai brought Chen Hongcheng to the steel factory because he was going to have some dishes cooked in the cafeteria to entertain him.

Qin Hai drove the car to the back door of the cafeteria, took Chen Hongcheng out of the car, and walked straight into the back kitchen. Zong Huiying was cooking with a few family workers, when she saw Qin Hai coming in, she greeted with a smile: "Xiao Hai is back,...do you have any guests?"

"That's right, Mom, this is a friend of Hong Yuan's. There is no place to eat at the Qingfeng factory, so I will bring him to our factory to eat." Qin Hai explained.

"Okay, you take the guests to sit first, and I'll let someone cook some delicious dishes for you." Zong Huiying replied. The business of the iron and steel plant is gradually expanding. There are many customers, suppliers, and county officials who come and go on weekdays. When they encounter meals, they are all settled in the cafeteria. very familiar.

Qin Hai took Chen Hongcheng and sat down in a small room separated by a screen in the corner of the room. A family worker in his forties came over with a smile, poured tea for them, and then left silently. Chen Hongcheng looked at all this curiously, and asked Qin Hai: "Mr. Qin, what's going on? Yabo said that you are a buyer of Beixi Iron and Steel Plant, but you also work in Qingfeng Agricultural Machinery Factory. How can you be peaceful now?" Yuan Iron and Steel Works is also related? Also, why are you called Qin Gong, are you an engineer?"

Qin Hai thought for a while and said, "I really don't know how to explain Mr. Chen's question. Let's put it this way, I am an employee of Qingfeng Factory, and Pingyuan Iron and Steel Factory is run by my father. I work here I am responsible for some technical work. As for the Beixi Iron and Steel Plant...you just think I was hired by them to do the procurement."

"I still don't quite understand." Chen Hongcheng scratched his head, but he didn't go any further. He is not familiar with Qin Hai, so it is really not polite to ask the bottom line like this.

"Mr. Chen came to Pingyuan this time just to attend the on-site meeting?" Qin Hai changed the topic about himself and asked Chen Hongcheng.

Chen Hongcheng said: "That's right, I'm here to attend the on-site meeting."

"I heard from Yabo that Mr. Chen is not in trade, so how could he be interested in auto parts?" Qin Hai asked again.

Chen Hongcheng said with a smile: "Auto parts also need trade."

Qin Hai was stunned: "Why, Mr. Chen wants to do auto parts business?"

"Why not?" Chen Hongcheng asked arrogantly. When talking about business matters, he began to feel like a general manager. In his mind, Qin Hai was just a young worker in a small place. Even if he was favored by the leader and could get a car to drive, he was still a small person in front of Chen Hongcheng. If he didn't feel that Qin Hai still had some use value, Chen Hongcheng wouldn't even contact him.

Qin Hai didn't mind Chen Hongcheng's attitude. He was not the kind of person who cared about other people's attitude. In terms of being arrogant, Chen Hongcheng really had nothing to show for Qin Hai, so why should Qin Hai have the same knowledge as him.

"How does Mr. Chen want to sell auto parts?" Qin Hai asked.

Chen Hongcheng said: "Mr. Qin didn't know that the localization of Pusang auto parts was successful. There are six companies, three of which are engaged in commercial vehicles, and three of which are engaged in passenger vehicles. They are called the Three Dogs and the Three Little Dogs in the industry. Others are wild dogs.”

"Ha, there is such a saying." Qin Hai was amused by Chen Hongcheng's metaphor. Of course he knew who the three major companies were, and he also knew that each province had some small car projects of its own, that is, the so-called Wild dogs are gone. The production capacity of these small projects is very limited, and some have not even obtained the license issued by the state, but they have been sold and used in various provinces. Things like cars are actually not difficult to make. It is nothing more than installing four wheels under the sofa, and the technical content is not very high.

"The level of our domestic auto parts, you should have heard about it at Qingfeng Factory, right? For the small car projects in various provinces, if you want to use imported parts, you can't get foreign exchange indicators. Use domestic parts, the quality is really inferior How to see it. Now suddenly there is a Qingfeng model, and domestic parts can also produce spare parts that reach the level of imported parts, do you think these factories are not interested?" Chen Hongcheng began to give lectures to Qin Hai.

"So that's how it is." Qin Hai woke up like a dream. It turns out that Qingfeng Factory's localization of auto parts not only meets the needs of Pusang Automobile, but also provides a source of parts for other domestic auto companies. Parts that can meet the requirements of Pusang Automobile are naturally much better than existing domestic auto parts, and they do not require foreign exchange when purchasing, which is exactly in line with the needs of those small car companies. Chen Hongcheng is worthy of being a pioneer in the sea, with a very keen business vision.

"Qingfeng Factory still has great potential in the production of auto parts, but Pusang Automobile can't absorb such a large supply for a while. If Mr. Chen wants to purchase some parts, I think Qingfeng Factory will be very happy " Qin Hai said frankly to Chen Hongcheng.
