Material Empire

Qin Hai followed Ning Zhongying upstairs and walked into Ning's house, only to realize that the purpose of Ning Zhongying's invitation to come to his house was not just for drinking tea and chatting, but for the house full of dishes waiting for him. with him. Ning Zhongying's wife, Song Yulan, came out to say hello to Qin Hai, and then went on to get busy in the kitchen. Tranquility is like a kitten circling around Qin Hai from time to time, but occasionally her mother will call her into the kitchen to help.

"Director Ning, your family... is this a treat?" Qin Hai could smell stewed chicken, fried fish, tamales, etc. with his nose, and he knew that this was not an ordinary family dinner, but Quite a grand courtesy.

Ning Zhongying greeted Qin Hai to sit down with a smile, and then said casually: "Your Auntie Song said that you helped Xiaomo a lot and even sent reference books to Xiaojing, but I never had a chance to thank you. You Didn’t the phone say that we’ll be back today, we’ll get together at home, there will be no outsiders, we’re all from our own family. By the way, Xiao Mo will be back in a while.”

As soon as Ning Zhongying talked about Ning Mo, Ning Mo appeared. When he entered the house, he exaggeratedly shouted "Wow, it smells so good", and then he found Qin Hai who was sitting on his own sofa, and rushed over to him, and sat down beside Qin Hai. With his weight of just over 200 catties, Qin Hai almost bounced off the sofa as soon as he sat down. Before Qin Hai could protest, he had already stretched out his arm and wrapped it around Qin Hai's shoulder.

"Hey, fat man, are you okay!" Qin Hai asked with a smile. Ning Mo's intimate behavior made Qin Hai suddenly return to the scene when they first met a year ago. At that time, everyone was poor, but they were all innocent and innocent, far less worried than they are now.

"Qin Hai, you still know how to come back! Leizi and I were talking about whether you were seduced by that Secretary Lu, and you don't want to leave!" Ning Mo said with a laugh.

Ning Zhongying glared at Ning Mo, and said, "Xiao Mo, what are you talking about, this kind of joke is also a random joke?"

Ning Mo said in a playful tone, "Dad, you know it's a joke. Qin Hai and I haven't seen each other for so long, so you won't allow us to be intimate."

Ning Mo's words were so nasty that Qin Hai couldn't help shivering, and countless goose bumps fell all over his body. He bumped Ning Mo's ribs with his elbow, and then took advantage of Ning Mo's pain and moved his body a few inches to the side, which seemed to be out of Ning Mo's clutches.

"Fatty, how is the production in the factory?" In order to prevent Ning Mo from getting close to him again, Qin Hai quickly found a topic to ask Ning Mo.

Hearing Qin Hai's question, Ning Mo really became honest. He sat up straight and replied, "It's very good. Since Mr. Chen provided us with alloy elements, our special steel output has doubled several times, and the quality has also improved." It is much better than before. In the past three months, we have produced a total of more than 200 tons of special steel, all of which have been sold to Europe through Mr. Chen."

When he said Mr. Chen, he was referring to Chen Hongcheng. Qin Hai himself does not have foreign trade rights, so the special steel transactions between him and Leonardo are all through Chen Hongcheng as an intermediary. Part of the income from special steel sales is directly converted into RMB at the customs in the way of ordinary foreign trade and returned to the account of Pingyuan Special Steel Factory. The other part is used to purchase various raw materials abroad and provided to Pingyuan Special Steel Factory and Beixi Special Steel Works.

Among them, Pingyuan Special Steel Works is an enterprise that actually produces special steel products. Its production scale is not large, and it mainly wins by quality. The Beixi Special Steel Factory is in the name of special steel, but actually produces ordinary steel, which is mainly used to meet the provincial market in Anhe Province. Due to the inability to raise enough coal and iron ore domestically, Beixi Special Steel Works mainly uses coal and iron purchased from Australia through Leonardo, and the financial settlement between it and Pingyuan Special Steel Works There is a set of methods, and there is no need to elaborate.

After asking about the production situation, Qin Hai returned to the main topic and asked, "Fatty, do you think Pingyuan is away from you, is that okay?"

Ning Mo said: "It should be fine. Uncle Qin is now fully familiar with the operation of the steel factory, and he is a very good factory manager. Some middle-level cadres below are also very effective now. What Leizi and I have to focus on Not many anymore. By the way, Auntie's prestige in the factory is also high now, and some workers joked that she is the Queen Mother Lafayette."

Qin Hai laughed. The aunt Ning Mo mentioned was Qin Hai's mother Zong Huiying. She is now in charge of Pinggang's logistics and is very popular in the factory. Qin Hai also knows this. Pingyuan Special Steel Works is a private enterprise, unlike a state-owned enterprise with complex interpersonal relationships, and relatively less difficult to manage.

"In this case, Fatty, come to Pujiang with me in a few days and be the general manager for me." Qin Hai said.

Regarding the matter of going to Pujiang, Qin Hai had discussed with Ning Mo several times before, and this time it was considered a formal decision. Ning Mo was both a little apprehensive and a little excited. He rubbed his hands, looked at Ning Zhongying timidly, and asked, "Dad, Qin Hai asked me to go to Pujiang to help, do you think I will go?"

"Do you want to go?" Ning Zhongying asked with a fake face.

Ning Mo said, "Of course I want to go..."

"Then go!" Ning Zhongying said. Regarding the matter of letting Ning Mo go to Pujiang, Qin Hai had already vented to him in advance, so his pretentiousness was only for Ning Mo to see. Speaking of which, he was also a little worried about Ning Mo going to Pujiang, but the mentality of hoping that his son would become a dragon made him feel that he should let his son go out to experience the wind and rain.

"Really!" Ning Mo stood up abruptly, looked at his father with delighted eyes, and asked, "You really let me go?"

"Where are you going?" Song Yulan, who was in the kitchen, was alarmed, walked into the living room wearing an apron, and asked, staring at Ning Mo.

Ning Zhongying said in a casual tone: "Xiaoqin wants to open a company in Pujiang, but there is a shortage of manpower. Let Xiaomo go over to help. Why are you so surprised?"

"Go to the Pujiang River?" Song Yulan's eyes widened and she asked Ning Mo, "Xiao Mo, can you do it? The Pujiang River is so big..."

Ning Mo said in embarrassment: "Mom, don't treat me like a child, can you? Look at Qin Hai, who is one year younger than me. Hasn't he been working in Pujiang for several months? He has even been abroad."

"Xiao Qin is Xiao Qin, and you are you... When did you leave home when you grew up so big?" Song Yulan muttered worriedly.

"My brother is going to Pujiang?" Tranquility also jumped out. She held her mother's arm and said excitedly, "Okay, brother, you go first, and I will go too in a few months."

"What are you doing!" Song Yulan scolded angrily. One child going to Pujiang is enough to worry her, so what's the matter with another child?

"Go to college!" Tranquility said confidently.

"..." Song Yulan was speechless. Tranquility is now in her third year of high school, and she should be admitted to university next year. With Ning Jing's current grades, she should be able to be admitted to a key university outside the province, and it is possible to go to Pujiang or the capital. This is not something that parents can stop.

With Tranquility's interruption, Song Yulan suddenly felt that it was a good thing for Ning Mo to go to Pujiang. If her daughter really went to Pujiang for the exam, wouldn't she be able to take care of her if she had an older brother working there?

"Okay, it's settled like this. Xiao Mo will go to Pujiang to explore the way first, and Xiao Jing will also go to Pujiang next year. Xiao Qin, I will leave these two brothers and sisters to you, and you have to take good care of them. "Ning Zhongying began to express his opinion as the head of the family.

"That's right, Xiao Qin, you know more than the two of them. When Xiao Mo goes to Pujiang, you should take care of him more." Song Yulan also said hastily.

No way? Ning Mo protested in his heart, I am older than Qin Hai, why is he in charge of me and not me in charge of him? Tranquility was so happy that she couldn't stand still, she covered her mouth with her hand, and gloated at her brother who was full of depression.

"Mom, the dishes are all ready, I'm hungry." Ning Mo quickly changed the subject, not daring to let his parents mutter any more.

"It's done!" Song Yulan said, "Come on, pull out the table. Lao Ning, why don't you drink with Xiao Qin? Over the past year, Xiao Qin has helped you so much, and even helped Xiao Qin Mo and Xiaojing, we haven't thanked him yet."

Qin Hai stood up from the sofa, and while helping pull the table, he said to Song Yulan, "Aunt Song, please don't say that. I'm from Qingfeng Factory, and I should work for Director Ning. As for Fatty ...Uh, Xiao Mo, we are buddies and we work together, so we can't talk about who helps whom."

Song Yulan and Ning Jing shuttled back and forth, bringing out more than a dozen dishes from the kitchen, and piled up a round table to the brim. Ning Zhongying went into the room and mumbled for a while, then came out with a wine bottle with an old label. He put the wine bottle on the table and said, "Qin Hai, we are having a family dinner today, so you can do whatever you want. I have a bottle of old wine here, which is not bad. Let's have a few glasses."

"Hey..." Ning Mo looked at the wine bottle, sucking in air as if suffering from a toothache.

"Why?" Qin Hai was a little surprised, but when he looked at the bottle of wine carefully, he couldn't help but sigh. It turned out that what Ning Zhongying took out was actually a bottle of Moutai. Qin Hai didn't know about it, but Ning Mo knew very well that this bottle of Maotai was older than him, and it was regarded as Ning Zhongying's treasure, and he never expected to bring it out on this occasion.

Ning Zhongying saw the astonishment of the two, and he said with a smile: "It's just a bottle of Moutai, is it worth your fuss? Back then, a bottle of Moutai cost more than 8 yuan... However, the money at that time was comparable to what it is now. It's worth a lot. Come on, Xiao Qin, you are a hero of Qingfeng Factory, but Qingfeng Factory didn't give you any rewards. I always feel that I owe you a lot. Xiaomo has grown up and become a talent since following you , As a father, I also have to thank you. Today is such a family banquet, let's dry up this bottle of wine. "

"Can I have a drink?" Ning Mo asked greedily.

"You can drink some. Yulan, you can drink some too." Ning Zhongying greeted his wife again.

"I want to drink too!" Tranquility raised her hand high, everyone said it, and she was the only one left. She was not happy to be the only one on the table drinking plain water.

Ning Zhongying smiled and said, "Okay, let's make an exception today and let Xiao Jing have a drink too!"

Sorry, just an update today. There is a little work at hand, and I have to do it quickly after the update. Tomorrow's update may be a little later, and then there may be an explosion... But I dare not promise now, because every time I finish my promise, I will receive a call from the leader: Xiao Qi, there is a project that you can keep an eye on , the customer is in a hurry to...
