Starting out as a drug dealer in 1988

The food was not sumptuous, but it was rich in oil and fat.

Zhao Wenhao never stings in these matters. You know, some of the company's workers come from Hengtang Town, and some even come from Zhaojiayu.

He didn't want to be criticized by his fellow villagers and called Huang Shiren.

The cafeteria is naturally not a place to talk about things. Zheng Yifan is more concerned about getting along with the workers and listening to their ideas.

Soon, the unusual lunch ended, and under the leadership of Zhao Wenhao, everyone came to the conference room.

"Mr. Zhao, come on, tell us about your company's vision for the future. Also, tell us if there are any remaining difficulties that we need the government's help to resolve."

Zheng Yifan didn't exchange too many pleasantries and went straight to the point.

Zhao Wenhao just stood up and was about to talk about some of his ideas, but he saw Li Hongyi not far away winking at him.

"Humph!"

Zhao Wenhao couldn't help but snort in his heart and pretended not to see it.

This narrow-minded person started to make things difficult for me just because I confronted him last time. Is such a person qualified to be a leader?

"Let me first talk about our company's future plans." Zhao Wenhao coughed and cleared his throat.

"At present, our company mainly produces three products: hot water heaters, electric kettles, and electric water heaters..."

The speech took less than five minutes, but it thoroughly explained the company's development history since its establishment, as well as some of its plans for the future.

"According to you, electric water heaters are just the first step. Next up are washing machines, refrigerators, and air conditioners. Isn't that a bit too ambitious?"

Without waiting for Zheng Yifan and others to speak, Li Hongyi started to attack first.

Wang Xinyong frowned noticeably, looking very unhappy.

It’s not that he has any friendship with Zhao Wenhao, but it’s inappropriate for Li Hongyi to say such things.

As the deputy county magistrate in charge of the economy, Hengyuan Electronics falls under his jurisdiction. As a result, as soon as Hengyuan Electronics proposed its vision and plan, you, the deputy county magistrate, expressed your pessimism.

This is really baffling, especially when it is said in front of the mayor.

"Mr. Zhao, please don't be offended. What I want to say is, why don't we make some practical and achievable plans? If so, our county government is willing to cooperate with your company to achieve it."

Perhaps he felt that what he had just said was not quite appropriate, so Li Hongyi quickly tried to make amends for himself.

"Really? Then I have to thank County Magistrate Li for his concern." Zhao Wenhao said with a forced smile, "However, County Magistrate Li, there's no need to worry. I did this with some support.

Last year, I established a research and development center in Xuanzhou to specifically develop the products that were previously planned.

Not only that, we have also cooperated with some well-known universities such as Xuanzhou University and Huining University of Electronic Science and Technology. Therefore, we are quite confident in the technology. "

"Haha, as long as you're confident." Li Hongyi was about to retort, but Zheng Yifan took over the conversation unexpectedly. "Did you know why I specifically mentioned Hengyuan Electronics when I visited Ping'an County this time?"

Everyone was stunned. They really didn't know.

"Some time ago, I met Xiang Mingxuan, the executive vice mayor of Xuanzhou City, at a provincial meeting. He mentioned Hengyuan Electronics to me many times.

From what I heard from him, he even planned to poach our employees and move Hengyuan Electronics to Xuanzhou Industrial Park.

So, I hurried over to take a look and see how our Dingzhou enterprise caught the eye of Mayor Xiang.

As expected, Mr. Zhao has far-reaching ambitions and has already taken concrete action. As mayor, I must strongly support companies like this and make Hengyuan Electronics a star enterprise for us."

Oh...I see.

It was only at this time that Zhao Wenhao finally understood why Zheng Yifan seemed to favor Hengyuan Electronics. It turned out to be Xiang Mingxuan's credit.

Li Hongyi, who was sitting over there, couldn't help but feel his heart beating fast. He finally understood why Zheng Yifan specifically wanted to come and see Hengyuan Electronics Company.

Even though he arranged two companies of a certain scale, they were put behind by Zheng Yifan.

And this is the crux of the matter.

"Mr. Zhao, please tell us what difficulties you are facing now. The leaders of your county party committee and county government are here today and they can help you."

Zheng Yifan stopped explaining and turned to another topic.

Zhao Wenhao was secretly delighted. He had done so much preparatory work, hanging banners and having workers line up to welcome him, just waiting for the leader to say this.

"Mayor Zheng, Secretary Shen, and County Magistrate Wang, there are actually many difficulties. For example, there is the issue of funding. Some time ago, because sales channels had not yet been opened, there were some difficulties in capital turnover.

In addition, we are very short of skilled technical workers.

Of course, we can overcome all of these challenges on our own. Our only current challenge is that our production capacity is insufficient. We want to expand production, but our existing factory limits our growth.

I had originally approached County Magistrate Li about buying the light bulb factory next door, which was on the verge of closing down. But County Magistrate Li said it would be difficult to handle, so we had to think of other options.

"whoosh"

Everyone's eyes immediately turned to Li Hongyi.

Wang Xinyong, in particular, knew nothing about this matter. Li Hongyi also never mentioned it at any government meeting.

This made him quite annoyed.

Wang Xinyong was very clear about the situation of the light bulb factory: it was running at a loss and was about to go bankrupt.

If Hengyuan Electronics is really willing to spend money to buy the land here as well as the original factory buildings, dormitories and other facilities, it may be a good thing for the light bulb factory.

Even if the company goes bankrupt, the money can help to better resettle the original workers, thus saving the county government a lot of trouble.

Can't Li Hongyi understand such a thing?

Obviously, Wang Xinyong doesn't think so.

From some previous conversations, it can be seen that there are some contradictions between the two.

"Oh, what a selfish guy! Now he's making it seem like our county government is doing nothing." Wang Xinyong cursed inwardly, and glared at Li Hongyi with sharp eyes.

Zheng Yifan smiled slightly, "County Magistrate Li, come on, tell me about your difficulties."

Li Hongyi was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. He really didn't expect Zhao Wenhao to say such words to his face. This was tantamount to directly attacking his army!

"Mayor Zheng, we have no difficulties. Mr. Zhao may not be aware of the situation. We have been communicating with the light bulb factory for the past two days, and they have agreed to relocate to the outskirts. It's just that I haven't had time to inform Mr. Zhao yet."

"Look, isn't this a happy ending?"

Zheng Yifan chuckled, not sure if he saw something or nothing at all.
