Rebirth in 1980, the rise of the golden age

After leaving the design institute, Wang Qiang followed Li Youcai.

"Brother Cai, Long Xu told me that the director of Taonan Garment Factory wants to meet with you. Oh, and by the way, their factory is also a tenant on the first floor of the reception building. They sell workwear there, and they readily agreed to close the shop this time."

Taonan Garment Factory?

Li Youcai thought about this situation carefully.

In his memory, the scale of this factory was not too large, and the products were relatively simple, with only work clothes as the only products.

It was able to survive at first, but a few years later, labor protection clothing brands from other places began to flood into the Taihe market.

With its excellent product quality and low prices, it quickly defeated the Taonan Garment Factory.

Not long after, the factory was destroyed, and it is said that the original factory site was later converted into a pig farm.

"Since they want to meet and have given me enough face, then let's meet."

Li Youcai agreed.

If nothing else, they really gave me face by handing over the shop.

"Okay, I'll make arrangements and find a restaurant tonight."

"No, I'll be back to Teng County after a walk. You can contact them. If their factory director is willing, let's make an appointment. I'll treat him to dinner at Zhenweiju." Li Youcai said.

"Is that so? That's fine. I'll contact them when I get back." Wang Qiang nodded.

The two of them returned all the way to the reception building.

As soon as I walked to the front of the building, I smelled a foul odor.

"What's going on?" Li Youcai asked, covering his nose.

Wang Qiang also covered his nose and suddenly laughed out loud. "I think it was that brat Long Xu who did this. He's been busy closing up the shops these past few days, and those shops over there are huddled together and refusing to move. Long Xu tried to talk them out of it several times, but it didn't work. So he resorted to some dirty tricks and cut off their water and electricity. I think this manure smell is also from Long Xu."

Seeing that the main door was locked, Li Youcai was too lazy to go in.

"Let's go and have a look over there."

Li Youcai and Wang Qiang walked along the front of the building, turned the corner, and saw the sewage truck.

The car was parked right in front of the hair salon and the pastry shop.

"Oh, this smell."

When he saw the manure cart, Li Youcai was certain in his heart that this was the masterpiece of the dog-headed military strategist Long Xu.

Among their group, only Long Xu could come up with such a sinister trick.

"This kid is still so mean."

Li Youcai muttered softly, then looked at Wang Qiang and said, "I won't go in. I'll go straight to the bus station and return to Teng County. You take care of the rest, and I'll go back to raise money."

"Then I'll take it to you."

"No, just go ahead and do your thing. It's not far."

Li Youcai waved his hand, then strode towards the bus station.

Wang Qiang covered his mouth, glanced at the locked main door, turned around and left without hesitation.

There were no customers in the pastry shop or the hair salon all day.

Xia Ming sat in his shop with a worried look on his face.

He rents this shop. If there is no business for a day, he will lose money that day.

The pastry shop next door is even worse off. The pastries they make have costs, and if they can't sell them, they lose even more.

Return to Teng County.

Li Youcai asked the restaurant to reserve a private room for him.

At five o'clock in the evening, Li Youcai invited two guests.

"President Peng, long time no see."

"It's been a while since we last met. I have to call you Mr. Li now."

Pengfei's face was full of smiles, and he immediately introduced another person next to him to Li Youcai: "Mr. Li, let me introduce you. This is my leader, Comrade Liu Wenhao, the president of the Teng County Credit Union branch."

Li Youcai extended his hand and said with a smile, "Hello, President Liu. I'm Li Youcai. Thank you for your care, as this is our first meeting."

"No, no, let's learn from each other and make progress together."

Liu Wenhao is not young, with white hair mixed with black, and he wears glasses. He looks gentle but also has a sense of vicissitudes of life.

"The private room is ready, please come in."

"I've heard of Zhenweiju's reputation for a long time. The environment here is really nice." Liu Wenhao was in the hall, looking at the luxurious decorations around him, and said with emotion.

Li Youcai looked at Pengfei.

Zhenweiju has been open for quite some time. Almost everyone in Teng County who can afford it or who is a prominent figure has eaten here.

Liu Wenhao holds a high official position, but he has never been to Zhenweiju. This makes Li Youcai a little curious.

Seeing the confusion in Li Youcai's eyes, Pengfei immediately explained: "President Liu has just been transferred to our Teng County and is not very familiar with the situation here."

"I see. That's perfect. Today's meal is a welcome dinner for President Liu. Please, please, please..." said Li Youcai.

What Li Youcai didn't know was that

The Taihe Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision took action, and the operation involved dozens of people, big and small.

These people also brought out a lot of mud, and implicated many people.

The former president of the Teng County Credit Union branch issued loans in violation of regulations and evaded loans. At the instruction of Zhou Wei, he issued unsecured loans to Guangyuan Cannery on multiple occasions and collected kickbacks and commissions, causing huge losses to the Teng County Credit Union.

Not long after Zhou Wei was investigated and punished, he was also arrested.

Liu Wenhao came here to fill a vacancy and had only been in Teng County for less than half a month.

Li Youcai led the two into the box.

"Mr. Li is really generous. Your restaurant is so luxurious that I have never seen one comparable to it in Taihe." After entering the private room, Liu Wenhao was shocked by this even more luxurious room.

Liu Wenhao was originally the president of a credit union branch in Taihe City. He was able to come here to fill the vacancy this time and it was also a chance for him to catch up.

It can be said that heroes are made by the times.

"President Liu, President Peng, please take a seat."

The three of them took their seats.

The waiter started serving tea.

After several pleasantries, Li Youcai finally spoke: "President Liu, President Peng, I invited you two here this time because I am planning to make a loan from your company."

Pengfei already knew this, so he was not surprised.

Instead, he said, "Mr. Li is now wealthy and powerful. I heard that the reception building in Taihe City has also become Mr. Li's possession. You are asking for a loan now, so I'm afraid your appetite is quite big."

Li Youcai laughed: "Old friends still understand me."

"That's right, I need at least 50 this time!"

"Five million?"

Pengfei was also surprised when he heard this. As policies were gradually relaxed, the number of loans issued by credit unions was also gradually increasing.

But in Teng County, loans over 10 yuan are rare.

Li Youcai asked for a loan of 500,000 yuan, which really broke the record of their credit union for the highest loan amount issued to collective enterprises.

"That's right, it's 500,000." Li Youcai repeated it again.

"This...Mr. Li, this may be a little difficult." Pengfei's face tightened, and then he looked at Liu Wenhao next to him.
