1987: Sleepless Tonight

Chapter 1335 A full table

In addition, if you find a relationship, you will be owed favors, and you will not be able to show your strength.

Paying 2,000 million in one lump sum may not be a bad thing. At least it can show your strength and make the city pay more attention to you. At the same time, it can also deter other competitors in Jiangcheng and let your partners see your situation more clearly. strength.

"Boss Lu, do you think of a solution yourself? 2,000 million is not a small sum, and there is also the funds to acquire the second beverage factory. Add the two together, this is a lot of money, but don't cause any damage to other businesses under Boss Lu's name. The impact." Li Changhe said.

He thought that Lu Hao was trying to make a fool of himself and might cut off the business under his name to raise 2,000 million yuan by demolishing the east wall to pay for the west wall.

"The other businesses under my name are progressing very smoothly, and I also want to become bigger and stronger. It will definitely not affect other businesses. I know this. Thank you, Director Li, for your reminder." Lu Hao thanked him.

He declined Li Changhe's proposal again.

He had to find a way to raise the 2,000 million by himself, as well as the funds to acquire the second beverage factory.

"Okay, Boss Lu must have a sense of discretion in his heart, so I won't persuade you any more, but if you have any problems with funds or other aspects later, Boss Lu can contact me at any time, and I will definitely try my best to help. I will also convey your reply to the boss, Boss Lu, and will contact you as soon as I have any news." Li Changhe said.

"No problem, I'll wait for news from you, Director Li." Lu Hao nodded.

In the next few days, Li Changhe did not call Lu Hao.

Lu Hao was not idle either. He took his father-in-law Su Xingmin and Huang Minghua with him. He drove around Jiangcheng in his car, visiting various beverage factories.

The beverage industry in Jiangcheng is quite developed and the competition is very fierce. The Second Beverage Factory is the only one and has the largest area, but there are also other beverage factories. Although they are slightly worse than the Second Beverage Factory, they are still good.

Such as the No. [-] Beverage Factory, Haigong Soft Drink Factory, Glucose Beverage Factory, etc. These days, Lu Hao goes to one or two beverage factories every day to take a look at them and go inside to have a cigarette and a cup of tea with the leaders. , have a chat.

If there is enough time, we will also invite the leaders of the factory to have a meal and drink some wine in the hotel, and have a more in-depth chat.

On this day, Lu Hao invited seven or eight leaders from the Third Beverage Factory to have a meal at Yujin Restaurant.

The Moutai I drank, the Chinese cigarettes I ordered, and the food I ordered were all good, and they were all Yujin Restaurant’s signature dishes.

A table is full.

"Boss Lu, the food on this table is really sumptuous. I don't usually have the opportunity to eat such good food, drink such good wine, and smoke such good cigarettes. It's all thanks to you." From the No. [-] Beverage Factory The factory director, holding a wine glass, toasted Lu Hao.

His words were not entirely polite, even though he was the director of the Third Beverage Factory, and the Third Beverage Factory was second only to the Second Beverage Factory in Jiangcheng's beverage industry.

But this was also in the past, during the planned economy era, when you could still have some power and status. After the market economy, the situation of the third beverage factory was very bad, and even if the performance of the second beverage factory declined, it was not as good as before, but it was still able to With various supports from the city, the city also wants to work harder to revitalize the Second Beverage Factory. It is willing to provide assistance in various aspects such as funds and equipment, and even arrange for the Second Beverage Factory to sign a contract with the foreign-owned Coca-Cola to enter into a joint venture. , to reverse the decline of the Second Beverage Factory.

For example, the Third Beverage Factory and other beverage factories do not have such treatment.

You have to rely entirely on yourself.

To put it simply, the limited resources of the beverage industry have been focused on leading companies, while the rest of the state-owned beverage industry has become an outcast.

Under such circumstances, as the director of the third beverage factory, life was very difficult.

Not only is there no guarantee of salary income, but we also have to deal with complaints and even shocks from the factory employees. When the factory's efficiency is not good, the payment of employees' wages becomes a problem. Many times, arrears will occur. Even if there is no arrears, there will be Give everyone a holiday, but the salary is only 50%, or even 40% of the original salary.

When life can no longer go on, employees will naturally come to him as the factory director. Whether they are complaining or questioning, he is always hard to explain.

I thought that the beverage industry would be in a similar situation. All the previously prosperous industries would decline without exception, but I never expected that Cheng Yaojin would appear halfway through.

And it is more powerful than Cheng Yaojin. Cheng Yaojin only has three axes, but Wanjia Beverage Factory has more than three axes. Other beverage factories are declining, but Wanjia Beverage Factory's business is booming.

"You are all my seniors. If you think this food is not bad and if you get hungry in the future, just call me directly and we can come over for a drink and a chat so that I can ask you for advice on business matters." Lu Hao said.

"Boss Lu is a busy man. Now his business is booming. If he calls you and asks you to go out for a drink, it will affect your money." said the deputy director of the No. [-] Beverage Factory.

"Yes, Boss Lu's success in whatever business he does is really enviable. People like us probably won't have a good place to go in the future. We still have time to sit down and drink some wine together, play cards, chat, and retire in advance. , but Boss Lu, you can't be like us, you must be busy doing business." Another leader of the third beverage factory also nodded.

Very sad.

"We have been in the beverage industry earlier than you, Boss Lu. It is not an exaggeration to say that we are seniors, but our ability to do business in the beverage industry is not as good as yours. If you really want to ask for advice, it is we who ask for your advice, not you who ask for us. .”

"That's right. After Boss Lu started working in the beverage industry, he came up with one idea after another, and every idea was very good. No one can match this ability."

"I heard that Boss Lu, you have visited a lot of beverage factories recently. Are you investigating and planning to merge the beverage factories and expand the scale of your business?"

Even if a group of people have been in the beverage industry longer than Lu Hao and are older than Lu Hao, they have no intention of relying on their elders in front of Lu Hao. Anyone who has this idea is disgracing themselves.

Lu Hao single-handedly changed the pattern of Jiangcheng's beverage industry, and he did not fall behind in the face of Coca-Cola and the Second Beverage Factory.

Such means and ability are very admirable.

When a person's ability is only a little better than his own, he will feel unfair, jealous, and angry, thinking that the other person is just lucky. But when a person's ability is several times stronger than his own, he will not be jealous. , not angry, but more looking up and admiring.
