Rebirth: My dad is too obedient

Chapter 69 The Starting Team of Dongchen Group

Xu Chen and Li Rui walked slowly through the factory area and headed inside.

The once noisy yard filled with the smell of metal machinery is now filled with the fragrance of grass and trees and is quiet and pleasant.

At the innermost part, there are six or seven connected bungalows, which were originally offices and workers' dormitories.

Normally, "factory director" Xu Zhiquan also works here.

When I walked to the back of the factory, I saw two people squatting in a pile of flowers and trees, busying themselves with work.

It was my father Xu Zhiquan and my third uncle.

Both of them were wearing dirty work clothes, covered in dirt and mud...

"Xiao Chen is here!"

The third uncle saw Xu Chen first, adjusted his glasses and spoke with a smile.

Xu Zhiquan laughed and stood up from the ground:

"Why are you here in the factory? I told you to go home first."

Xu Chen: "Can't I come and take a look?"

Li Rui followed behind Xu Chen and called Xu Zhiquan "Mr. Xu".

He took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it for Xu Zhiquan.

Xu Zhiquan took a puff of his cigarette, obviously very satisfied with Li Rui's "eyesight".

Li Rui walked up to his uncle again:
"Uncle Yongqing, do you smoke?"

The third uncle’s full name is Zhang Yongqing. Actually, he is not very old, but he is Xu Chen’s elder after all, so Li Rui calls him "Uncle Yongqing".

The third uncle waved his hand shyly: "I can't!"

"Uncle Yongqing, I'll help you!"

As he spoke, Li Rui had already squatted down, helping his third uncle move the pots of flowers and trees.

Xu Zhiquan smiled and whispered to Xu Chen:
"You are a very capable classmate!"

Xu Chen: "Of course the person I recommend can't be bad!"

Xu Zhiquan: "Xu Chen, you came at the perfect time!
When your fourth uncle comes back, we will hang up the sign of the new company!"

As he spoke, he pointed to a place not far away.

Next to a few potted shrubs, there were two brand new signs, which read "Dongchen Co., Ltd." and "Chenxin Seedlings" respectively.

Xu Zhiquan laughed, turned to Li Rui and said:

"Li Rui, go to the restaurant next door and order a table of dishes. Tell the boss to put it on Lao Xu's account. He knows it.

We can have dinner together tonight, and hang up the sign, which can be regarded as an opening ceremony!"

Li Rui responded, put down the work in his hands, turned around and left.

Xu Chen took off the schoolbag behind him and took out a thick stack of books from it.

These books related to business, management and marketing were given to my father Xu Zhiquan.

Xu Zhiquan wiped his hands on himself and took the books over:

"It is said that knowledge is power...

Books are the cheapest, cheaper than cigarettes and alcohol, but they can bring the most profit! "

Xu Chen joked: "Dad, what you said is very profound!"

Xu Zhiquan laughed:

"I can't compare myself with my son in terms of studying."

Xu Chen opened his mouth and asked again: "Where is Fourth Uncle?"

Xu Zhiquan: "He went to Beishan. We need to go check out the fields over there. He should be back soon."

……

The initial business of "Dongchen Group" was "Chenxin Seedlings".

The "core team" of Chenxin Seedlings has already been established.

My third uncle Zhang Yongqing can be regarded as the product director and technical director, responsible for all professional matters.

He graduated from an agricultural and forestry college and has a relatively reserved and introverted personality. He doesn't like dealing with people, but he enjoys spending the whole day with flowers, plants and seedlings.

Besides, my third uncle is a college graduate after all, and he is also the one handling the current bidding documents, as well as some financial and clerical work.

Fourth Uncle Xu Zhilin can be regarded as the operations director, and most of the trivial matters related to the operation are taken care of by Fourth Uncle.

For example, leasing land, purchasing fertilizers and agricultural tools, hiring farmers, etc.

The last time several relatives discussed "closing the factory", the fourth uncle stayed without any hesitation, and Xu Zhiquan was more assured and trusted him. In fact, when Xu Zhiquan first started the factory, he brought the third and fourth uncles with him.

My fourth uncle was just a teenager at that time.

Over the years, Fourth Uncle Xu Zhilin has always been by his second brother's side, working hard and never complaining.

Fourth Aunt also helped.

She didn't have much education, but she was careful and honest, and could help her fourth uncle share a lot of things.

The boss, Xu Zhiquan, is mainly responsible for handling external client and government relations.

To put it bluntly, these seedling engineering projects do not have too many technical and ability thresholds.

More often than not, it really relies on personal connections.

Although Xu Zhiquan doesn't like to build relationships, he is actually very good at it.

Compared with those shrewd bosses who are good at dealing with people and speaking well, Xu Zhiquan looks honest, steady, and even a little dull.

But it is precisely because of this that others feel that he is sincere, honest, reliable, worthy of trust and friendship.

Xu Chen is naturally also a member of the "core team".

It's just that his identity is quite special.

The instigator, the mastermind, the hidden boss... they are all considered him.

……

Xu Zhiquan went to work again with his third uncle.

Xu Chen had no idea and couldn't help, so he went to his father's office and took advantage of the opportunity to prepare for the college entrance examination.

……

……

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, a yellow Jinbei van drove into the factory. This was the one Xu Zhiquan originally drove.

The car stopped and my fourth uncle and aunt got out.

Fourth Uncle had a gloomy face and looked unhappy. He walked straight inside without saying a word.

Fourth Aunt followed silently behind without saying a word.

Fourth Uncle came to the back of the yard, looked up and saw Xu Zhiquan squatting on the ground smoking, and said:

"Brother, there is something troublesome..."

Xu Zhiquan stood up:
"what happened?"

My third uncle Zhang Yongqing behind me also heard the noise and stood up and walked over.

Xu Zhilin said:

"I went to buy fertilizer, but someone tripped me up..."

My third uncle Zhang Yongqing exclaimed, “Ah!”

"The fertilizer issue cannot be delayed...otherwise there will be problems with this batch of seedlings, and the bidding will also be at risk!"

Xu Zhiquan said:

"Don't worry, Yongqing. Lao Si, tell me what happened?"

Fourth uncle Xu Zhilin lit a cigarette and took a puff before speaking:

“Several fertilizer sellers in Beishan Town are unwilling to supply us.

They didn’t want to say much, but it was clear someone was causing trouble.”

Zhang Yongqing: "Who is this person? Why do you have to stop us from buying fertilizer?"

Xu Zhilin: "It could be a competitor of the expressway project, or it could be someone from Beishan Liancun.

We bought the land at a low price, and they only now found out about several high-speed seedling biddings.

He must be jealous and is deliberately trying to mess with us."

The fourth aunt behind him added:

“We also asked if we could pay a little more and sell the fertilizer to us first, but they just refused.

This is clearly making things difficult for our family..."

Third uncle Zhang Yongqing adjusted his glasses and looked at Xu Zhiquan anxiously:

"Brother-in-law... the fertilizer issue cannot be delayed, otherwise these seedlings might really have problems!"

Xu Zhiquan nodded:
"Don't panic, Yongqing. Things can always be fixed."
