Shengsheng

2002 11 Month 3 Day.

In the provincial capital in early November, early winter just entered.

Frost had just started to fall on the ground in City Y three days ago, and elementary and middle school students across the country began to prepare for the busy final exam one after another.

When Liang Sheng and Cao Maocai, who were wearing army cotton-padded jackets, appeared at the gate of the bus station with large bags and a bunch of souvenirs, it was just in time for a conference to be officially held in the provincial capital at the end of the year.

The special cars of the provincial leaders drove on the asphalt road in a mighty way, and the big red banners welcoming the inspection of the superiors were also hung in all corners of the city.

After all, this was actually Liang Sheng and Cao Maocai's second visit to the provincial capital within half a year.

It is said that this time, they are familiar with each other, but this time, in terms of personal assets, the two of them are still in a hurry and fighting like a war. The briquette stoves in the ladle were all brought on one by one.

Before leaving home, Jin Ping, whose temper was on the rise at home recently, was worried that the hostel they lived in this time was not clean, and also worried that the stir-fry restaurant outside was unhygienic.

He insisted on nagging and stuffing a pile of woolen socks and underpants into their travel bags together with Xiao Liangsheng who was helping earnestly at the side, as well as side dishes such as fruits and vacuum mustard and dried radishes, so he was relieved.

In addition, this time they are doing all kinds of messy business, and they are officially visiting the boss of 'Xiaotian' for the first time.

So in order to let the two men of the family live a little better in etiquette and scenes outside, I am especially grateful to the boss, Jin Ping, for buying a lot of sumptuous New Year's goods in the vegetable market in advance.

Among them, the pork ribs that were marinated early and exposed to the sun at the end of October alone weighed about five catties.

Others include sausages in bags, pork head meat, rice wine and a lot of 'sea lung', 'horse head' and 'shrimp offal' fresh goods marinated in their own old factory. Be sure to let them bring the whole family to the big boss New Year's Eating.

As for this, it was rare for Jin Ping to be strong in this kind of thing, and she gave a good lesson to these two men who didn't understand the world.

She said, she is different from the two of you. For a company of this size, there must be a boss who is at least middle-aged and above to manage it, right?

The middle-aged boss must be married at this age this year, right?Then after getting married, there must be an old man, wife and children at home?

Although people in big cities may not be used to eating New Year's goods that are not available in small cities like them.

But no matter whether this thing is worth money or not, it is a thought, the important thing is to let people know that they 'Maojin' are very sincere, whisper, do you think what your aunt said makes sense?

For the last sentence, Jin Ping specifically looked at Xiao Liang Sheng who was eating silently while bowing his head.

Xiao Liang also glanced at his brother when he heard the words, and then stared at the aunt's brand braised pork in his bowl, which was especially pitiful, and said indifferently, um, it makes sense.

Because of this, even a little dumbfounded in my heart.

Liang Sheng and Cao Maocai came to the provincial capital carrying this heap of heavy New Year's goods humbly in accordance with the orders of the empress and the little darling of the family.

It took a lot of effort along the way, and I was almost stopped by the people at the bus station just now because of the strict security check at the provincial capital meeting.

When they finally arrived at the place, Secretary Xiao Jiang, who was responsible for receiving them every time he came to the provincial capital, came back this time, so they could only stand at the gate of the bus station and search for someone while smoking.

"Hey, Ah Sheng, is the guest house we are looking for this time near here? Secretary Xiao Jiang called to ask if he was there... There are so many people coming and going at this bus station... Hey, we have Still carrying such messy things, woman, woman, trouble..."

Standing at the gate of the crowded bus station, Cao Maocai, who was sweating profusely and looking at the crowd, couldn't help feeling tired.

"Cough, it's okay, it's okay, haha. In the end, it's all sister-in-law's wish. Don't complain when we're all here. We have to go to the stock exchange tomorrow morning. The guest house shouldn't be far away. Laoguan, you just stand here and wait." Wait for me, I'll make a phone call to Secretary Xiaojiang first, this trip just happens to have some business to explain to him, we have been delayed for too long for the last two months..."

Hearing that Liang Sheng took out the Motorola mobile phone he had just bought from his pocket, and pressed a number casually, Liang Sheng couldn't help laughing.

But the call was made, but no one answered it for the time being.

Liang Sheng thought that Secretary Xiaojiang probably had some kind of entertainment that he couldn't get away with, so he wasn't in a hurry.

First left a phone mailbox for the little secretary to explain their approximate location, and then he and Cao Maocai found a mutton Minglu restaurant at the entrance of the bus station by themselves, ordered two hard dishes and ate a bowl of hot noodle soup.

And just as the two sat down, Secretary Xiaojiang also sent a text message, the content was concise and to the point, just one sentence.

[The driver will arrive in half an hour. The boss said, you two eat first, and we will reimburse you for the bill. You can eat whatever you want. I will be the host in the evening, and we will have a good meal together. 】

This tone really didn't sound like that gentle and delicate young man would say it. Liang Sheng smiled silently when he received the text message, and then he and Cao Maocai started to settle the lunch issue.

Not to mention, a catty of mutton in this provincial capital is seven or eight yuan more expensive than in their small cities.

But in this winter, Liang Sheng and Cao Maocai had worked tirelessly on a long-distance bus for a day, and they all wanted to eat hot stewed lamb ribs.

So the two of them didn't try to save money this time, and one of them added a bottle of Arctic Ocean beer and had lunch in this small restaurant. By the way, they chatted for a while while waiting for people. God.

During the two months when they were still at home, the two of them were mainly busy with recruiting people and allocating equity for the company they had just registered.

This very formal equity allocation was mainly proposed by Cao Maocai and his wife, and Liang Sheng did not refuse after serious consideration.

After all, the partnership between him and Cao Maocai has been maintained for almost half a year, although the relationship between the two parties has always been that relatives are better than relatives.

But in fact, according to the current situation, it is time to thoroughly scale up and commercialize the small workshop they have jointly operated.

Especially the old saying that brothers have to settle accounts clearly, and it is also true when it comes to their relationship.

So at the moment, the two of them didn't avoid suspicion, and directly found the law firm they were familiar with when they registered the trademark to make a note, carefully prepared all aspects of the matter, and then formally signed a partnership agreement in duplicate.

Cao Maocai and Jin Ping, as equity holders of the 'Maojin' brand, jointly hold the main shares of husband and wife, while Liang Sheng, as a partner, enjoys the right to manage the company and an annual 50.00% dividend.

This contract signed by both parties not only guaranteed that Liang Sheng's hard work would be rewarded, but also pushed 'Maojin' into a step that a formal enterprise should take.

And now that the issue of equity distribution has been settled, the follow-up is to expand the company's scale, so the two of them have been busy for a long time to recruit people.

Among them, the accountants, cashiers, drivers and warehouse order clerks needed by the new factory are absolutely indispensable.

In particular, they had agreed three chapters before that they would never use acquaintances on both sides, and for this reason, Liang Sheng and Cao Maocai had been busy for more than two months.

So it was not until the end of the year that the internal manpower of the company 'Maojin' was basically recruited, and there was time to go to the provincial capital.

But in good conscience, the wages they pay their employees are actually not low. They are based on the standard above the city's average wage, one thousand per person per month, and each employee has additional insurance and medical insurance.

But Liang Sheng's criteria for recruiting and selecting people are quite strange. He just doesn't like to pick those who are too young and too outstanding, which makes the process a little complicated.

Especially some fashionable young girls who are obviously more interesting to him than looking for a job, and some of them obviously have good education and good looks.

But every time he squinted his eyes like a fox, just casually indulged in his eye addiction, never took the initiative to touch his hands, and didn't have any crooked thoughts, so that Cao Maocai, who is also a normal man, secretly admired this kid's determination.

"Asheng, we are all men, and your sister-in-law is not here, so just tell me the truth, this time, you really don't want to pick a young and beautiful college student secretary to take with you to the provincial capital to help you? When we first started our business from scratch in the factory, it wasn't you who said that a man needs to show some style when he goes out, you, a young man, are different from a married man like me, in fact, you don't have to...cough cough..."

To be honest, Cao Maocai was kind enough to inquire about his thoughts at this moment.

After all, Liang Sheng was a young man with a decent appearance, a wise mind, and smart means, not to mention his masculinity alone, which was enough in society.

But he just likes money more than women.

Forcibly rejecting all the little girls who were secretly giving him glances, Cao Maocai sometimes wondered if this kid was born from the womb just thinking about money, and he never planned to marry a wife in this life. .

Liang Sheng pretended to be crazy and laughed out loud every time his elder brother said this, and never responded positively.

Because at his current stage, compared to marrying a wife and having children in a small city, he really prefers the refreshing feeling of making money and being possessed.

Is there anything in this world that can bring people more spiritual pleasure than making money?

That was obviously gone. Sexual women and other physical pleasures were not as important in Liang Sheng's heart as the satisfaction that money brought him.

Maybe he will think about these things when he has enough money in the future, so much money that he can't spend it in a few lifetimes. He will buy a comfortable and luxurious big house and car, and he will quietly buy all kinds of capital for his family to marry a wife and go to college in the future. .

But for now, he is really ready to fight to the end with all the money he has not earned in the world with all his heart like a monk.

However, he doesn't randomly stuff people around him, and he also takes care of the company's internal management issues.

So in the end, the accountant he found for 'Maojin' was Wang Xia, an old accountant over 45 years old.

The cashier and the driver are looking for men in the north between the ages of 35 and 40. The company will be responsible for renting a house and including board and lodging. If the construction period is three years, it will also help choose the children's education in the future.

In this way, even if he and Cao Maocai went to the provincial capital to discuss investment projects because of business, Jin Ping's company can still operate normally, which saves a lot of trouble in business.

Thinking of this, Liang Sheng, who was sitting in a small restaurant at the moment, had just drank half a glass of white wine to warm his body, raised his eyes thoughtfully.

As far as the eye can see, there are people coming and going in the station outside. The two days of the conference, the lives of the ordinary people who are usually noisy have not been affected much.

It is still time to go to work and go to school, but everyone still cares about current affairs, watching current affairs and financial news for the general public for several days on their old and new TVs.

Especially for the important speeches of the top leadership team, the TV shots will definitely show some of them.

In addition, it also focused on mentioning the key bidding projects of the provincial capital this year, and several outstanding old and new cadres in the province came out one after another.

Logically speaking, all of this should have little to do with the lives of ordinary people like them.

What Liang Sheng didn't expect was that while he and Cao Maocai were chatting and waiting for Secretary Xiaojiang to come, they accidentally heard a sentence from a superior leader on the broken TV in this small restaurant about his family. 'Maojin' news.

Although the sentence was immediately mentioned, and there were a lot of names of local emerging companies this year, it also surprised him and Cao Maocai who hadn't realized it at the time.

"In 2002, the spring breeze of economic reform was blowing across the land of China. Both provincial and municipal units should further promote the development of the local industrial chain, implement government and enterprise support measures, and implement emergency development in a down-to-earth manner. In the end..." "What needs to be commended is that in the past six months, some emerging industries have also broken ground in various parts of the motherland, such as our province's local brand 'Dongsheng' and Weiwei mentioned in Comrade Gu Mingyi's last report. Gang', 'Maojin', including a number of new technologies in the food industry..." "Okay, let us thank the secretary for his speech..."

This provincial leader who spoke in public and praised 'Maojin', Liang Sheng felt strangely familiar just by hearing the name without looking at his face.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that in his previous life, he was a good cadre who cared deeply about people's livelihood in the local area and was known for his cleanliness and anti-corruption.

Although this old leader does not often appear in the news of various provinces and cities at the moment, he vaguely remembers that he seems to have successfully participated in the next session.

Especially from 03 to 04, this tough and resolute leader seemed to have become famous all of a sudden because of an event that shocked the world.

Not only did it sweep over the foreign paper media at that time, but it also caused an uproar in public opinion among ordinary people.

It's just that Liang Sheng, who was only twelve or thirteen years old at this time in his previous life, tried to think about what happened, but he couldn't remember what happened as if his original memory was strangely blocked by a fish bone.

Strange, what kind of appalling thing made this old leader so familiar to me...Why can't I remember it?

And for no reason, he felt that the fuzzy memory stuck in his mind seemed to be a bad thing.

Inexplicably, Liang Sheng, who was pressing his temples coldly with a hair on his back, was silent for a while in doubt, when Cao Maocai's pleasantly surprised voice and a slap on his back by the kidnapper woke him up.

"Hey, you two should be in a hurry haha! You have a good lunch haha, hey, you two are too polite to bring so many things..."

Secretary Xiaojiang's teasing voice pulled Liang Sheng back from his mind, which was about to think of something, like a stick.

Before he could hold back a pause, the messy things in his memory disappeared. Liang Sheng, who was dizzy and depressed for a long time, could only rub the bridge of his nose as if nothing had happened, and chatted with his enthusiastic little secretary .

Coincidentally, the car that picked them up also stopped at the door.

So Liang Sheng and Cao Maocai were going to settle down in the guest house first, pack up the luggage they brought, and talk about their business after they rested tomorrow.

Before getting into the car, he looked at the TV in the small restaurant with a puzzled expression for the last time. The face of the old leader had disappeared, and so had his vague memory.

But he, Liang Sheng, was a humble man, so he didn't dare to talk about state affairs casually.

There was such a vague impression in my mind, and I didn't dare to think about it anymore, and I still focused on my own basic necessities of life and small business.

He didn't know that this trip to the provincial capital would be another important beginning of his life.

The appearance of the provincial capital, Vientiane is renewed, at this time everything is like the water of the Yangtze River opening the gate of his life, changing not only his own destiny.

And the only thing left in his mind at the moment was the words that Secretary Xiao Jiang, who had the loudest speaker in the front seat, burst out laughing when he asked about tomorrow's schedule.

"Didn't you always want to know what the boss does? Tomorrow at seven o'clock in the morning, in the top room of the provincial financial securities office, the boss will personally invite you to drink tea. Boss Xiaoliang, you must not be late!"
