Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

Xiang Shaodong also wanted to vent; he was holding back his grievances and anger and was just wondering where to say it!

"Alright, today I'll risk my life to keep you company, we won't leave until we're drunk." Young Master Xiang picked up the jug and was about to leave.

Yang Jianguo also picked up the jar and jokingly said, "What gentleman? I'm just a roughneck in steelmaking."

Xiang Shaodong's eyes were strange. After a moment of surprise, he smiled and nodded: "That's right, a roughneck in steelmaking."

"Cheers." Yang Jianguo tilted his head back and took a big gulp, his sincerity evident.

*gulp*, at least one or two ounces.

Xiang Shaodong didn't hesitate and swallowed twice.

One or two ounces is enough.

"Ah~" she smacked her lips and quickly picked up a piece of meat with her chopsticks.

"This liquor... it's really strong." Xiang Shaodong gave a thumbs up with a pained expression.

This is my first time drinking strong Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor), and it's really potent.

"Haha, you'll definitely love it after a couple more drinks." Yang Jianguo picked up the bottle and patted it, thinking to himself, 'This is a real gem!'

Even decades from now, it will still be a favorite treasure of ordinary people.

"Young Master, how's the working environment over there?"

After a few rounds of drinks, when he was slightly tipsy, Yang Jianguo got down to business.

"Terrible, not just bad."

"However, everyone has their own way of dealing with it, and you get used to it after a while."

Yang Jianguo nodded and asked, "How does the region affect the temperature? What difficulties do you encounter in your work? Let's talk about it."

Upon hearing this, Xiang Shaodong immediately put down his chopsticks: "That's great! I was just thinking about how to bring it up!"

Xiang Shaodong had the same idea and exchanged details and experiences about work with him.

Once the two started chatting, they forgot about the wine, the food, and even the time.

"Two, two guests." The shopkeeper looked at the two men with a troubled expression.

"What's wrong?" The two who were interrupted were quite annoyed, but when the boss pointed outside, they said with a wry smile, "Well, it's already night."

The owner really didn't want to fire anyone, after all, the business had only been open for a few days.

Now is the time to build a good reputation and attract more followers.

But it was getting too late. If the two of them ate like this any longer, someone would start knocking on the door soon.

I unbuttoned my cuff and glanced at the time; it was almost 10 p.m.

Yang Jianguo's previously impatient expression instantly turned apologetic. He stood up and said to the boss, "Boss, I'm so sorry, we got so engrossed in our conversation that we forgot the time."

"Oh, it's alright, it's alright."

The boss waved his hand repeatedly and said, "If it weren't so late and I didn't want someone to knock on the door, I wouldn't have bothered you two."

Seeing how good he was at handling things, Yang Jianguo smiled and went to pay the bill: "I'll pack the food and drinks to go, and give me two more servings of peanuts."

"Alright!" The shopkeeper readily nodded and said, "I'll charge you for one portion, and consider the extra a gift."

"You know how to handle things," Yang Jianguo praised, then casually asked, "Where did you open this shop?"

"This restaurant?"

The boss smiled and said, "It's from our capital's food processing plant. Business isn't doing well, so we thought we'd start a side business."

When Yang Jianguo heard these words, a thought immediately clicked in his mind.

State-owned tertiary industry.

slap~

Yang Jianguo slapped his forehead, realizing, 'How could I have forgotten about this?'

In the following period, state-owned factories of all sizes vigorously developed tertiary industries in order to improve efficiency and promote development.

Various restaurants, stores, business dealings, etc.

It blossomed like crazy, propelling the internal market into a barbaric era.

People from all walks of life are vying for territory and fighting tooth and nail, resulting in a flourishing of diverse industries that surpasses even the wisdom of their predecessors.

Steel rolling mills can't afford to fall behind in this trend.

More importantly, this is also an important signal and opportunity for my future work.

If we can ride this wave, we can vigorously develop joint ventures.

If we could successfully introduce those foreign companies and technologies, how much trouble and difficulty would we have avoided?

If there are advanced technologies that we can learn from, even if it's just the foundation of a complete system.

It would also be dozens or hundreds of times less costly than them feeling their way across the river from scratch, starting from nothing.

The money saved was invested in other areas of need, and the speed of takeoff—X2.

Is that alright?

Chapter 270 A New Horizon Opens Up, Succession

The large white building, the factory director's office.

The top leader, Lao Yang, Yang Jianguo, and the director sat in a circle in the inner circle.

Outside sat the heads of various departments, as well as the clerks taking meeting minutes.

"The tertiary sector?" Old Yang looked at the senior leader, his tone filled with worry.

Isn't this just 'speculation and profiteering,' and the factory is involved?

With such a large scale, if someone were to investigate, wouldn't they be punished even more severely?

"What time is it? Speculation and profiteering are long gone."

With those words from the big boss, Lao Yang's mind immediately started racing.

Opening a restaurant is a great idea!

We also run a restaurant. With Sha Zhu as the head chef, why would we be afraid of not having enough customers?

"Old Yang, your perspective is too narrow!"

If everyone tries to run a restaurant, how can the restaurant business be good?

Even if everything is good, the overall perspective is limited.

You need to look outwards, into a wide-open field, towards the sea…

After being teased by Yang Jianguo, Old Yang grinned and said, "Yes, my perspective is too narrow. Tell me something bigger."

Surprisingly, he actually had a good idea.

Attracting foreign investment through steel, establishing new joint ventures, holding steel technology and product exchange meetings in Shanghai, and attracting talent.

After hearing Yang Jianguo's plan, not only Lao Yang, but even the top leaders were dumbfounded.

Then their eyes lit up and their hearts burned with passion.

Great idea!

Seeing everyone so shocked, Yang Jianguo felt utterly helpless.

It's not that he's too strong; there's really no one else who can fight him.

This is a limitation created by the times and our limited perspective.

Why is Yang Jianguo able to speak so fluently?

Because he had not only seen it, but also hosted more than ten exhibitions of the same nature.

Let people who have never seen an apple imagine what an apple looks like.

Even if it blooms, he would almost certainly not be able to describe it accurately.

Yang Jianguo, on the other hand, had not only seen apples but had also picked and eaten them, and knew them inside and out.

Suddenly, a group of strangers appeared and posed the question, "Who can guess what the fruit of this flower will look like?"

This is a free point question!

Having laid out all his thoughts, Yang Jianguo looked at the clerk and asked, "Have you written everything down?"

The clerk just nodded and continued writing furiously.

After writing down the last few words in his mind, he looked directly at the leaders in front of him and said, "I've written them all down, not a single word is wrong."

"it is good."

The senior leader stood up and said, "Let's adjourn the meeting here for today. Everyone, please go back to your work!"

"By the way, whatever you hear, you should keep to yourself."

The specific details will need to be discussed with his colleagues before a decision can be made.

After everyone left, the senior leader occupied Lao Yang's office, wanting to discuss the details with Yang Jianguo.

The clerk sat back in the middle of the two-seater sofa, with his legs together and his notebook on it, writing continuously.

Yang Jianguo then described his thoughts and ideas in detail in a way that aligns with the times and his own identity.

Only after the senior leader and the secretary left did Yang Jianguo have a chance to pick up the cold tea and take a sip to moisten his throat.

slap~

A large hand slapped Yang Jianguo on the back, causing him to stumble.

"Alright, Jianguo, you've got some ideas, kid." Old Yang grinned, looking like a simpleton.

Setting down the spilled teacup, Yang Jianguo wiped the water from his hands on his clothes and said, "You should think about the specific details!"

"What details do you need to think about? Haven't you already arranged everything?" The plans he mentioned earlier didn't cover all of them.

"We have a plan, but implementing it is not as simple as it seems on paper."

"To put on a successful exhibition for foreigners, you need to consider things from their perspective!"

"What will the other party see? What problems might they encounter? How should we deal with them?"

Seeing Old Yang's stunned expression, Yang Jianguo stepped forward, patted his shoulder, and encouraged him, "Keep going!"

Add some oil!

You're just going to abandon this huge mess and quit?

Yang Jianguo could only express his helplessness, as the senior leader had just told him that he had to report to the Ministry of Industry on Monday.

They even prepared an office for him over there.

"Old Yang, look at them."

Yang Jianguo looked disgusted: "You prepared the office before you even went to work, and look at you now."

"I've worked for you for over ten years, and I still don't even have an office."

Seeing that he was about to speak, Yang Jianguo raised his hand to stop him, "Alright, that's enough, our relationship has come to an end."

"I have to go back to the workshop to hand over my work. See you later!"

Watching him stride out, Old Yang was so angry he was practically convulsing: "You little rascal, I told you it was too high-profile..."

Old Yang's laughter and curses faded into the distance, and Yang Jianguo, with his large belly, pretended not to have heard anything.

We're about to leave, so let's not stoop to his level.

When he arrived at the workshop, everyone stopped what they were doing when they saw him.

Zhang Chao stepped forward first, looking at him with a complicated expression: "Master, are you really leaving?"

"If it's not real, why would I be fooling you?" Yang Jianguo grinned and said, "Sit down, everyone, sit down and let's talk."

He randomly picked a toolbox and sat down on it, while the other craftsmen each pulled out a cushion to sit on as well.

Everyone sat cross-legged, waiting for Yang Jianguo to speak.
