Chapter 227 Whether you have money or not, you have to celebrate the New Year
In fact, at present, there are definitely a lot of textile factories in the country. Almost every prefecture and city has a textile factory, and even some regions and county-level cities have textile factories.
The total annual output is not low either.
The total annual output of cotton textiles alone exceeds 10 billion meters.
There is no problem in meeting the needs of the Chinese people.
Some people may question, since it can meet the needs of the Chinese people, why do we need to issue tickets and restrict purchases?
In fact, what many people don't know is that most textiles are exported to earn foreign exchange.
In the early 1980s, the annual export volume of textiles reached more than 3 billion US dollars.
Three billion US dollars in the 1980s, what is this concept?
It can be seen that China's textile industry was already very large before the 1980s.
Of course, it is not without shortcomings.
The shortcoming is that the textile industry is still in its initial stage, producing low value-added products with low technical content.
This is also the main reason why a large number of textile factories went bankrupt after the 1990s.
At that time, it was said that the overcapacity in the textile industry was actually caused by the impact of low-tech textile products on the international market and the sluggish exports.
It was not until this time that the country began to engage in technological innovation, adjust production capacity, and produce high value-added textiles.
However, now all this has begun to change.
China has its first high value-added textile factory.
A single spark can start a prairie fire.
Once you have your first home, you don’t have to worry about the second and third home.
"Squad leader, I heard that a leader in the city wants to transfer you to a joint venture textile factory to serve as the director of the Chinese side. It's a second-level jump! You jump directly from the deputy department level to the deputy department level and enter the ranks of senior cadres.
." Zhang Junping said with a smile.
"Pull him down! I still think it's good to be a deputy director!" Xu Shaomin pouted.
This is not a rumor, it is true, but it has been pushed back by him.
"It's okay to push it, otherwise how will you receive the textile company from Zurich when they come over in a few days?" Zhang Junping said with a smile.
"I asked you, can you please stop trying to boss someone around?
You know how embarrassing it is for me, a small deputy director, to be among so many big leaders." Xu Shaomin laughed and cursed.
"It's okay, just get used to it and you'll be fine!
You have to think this way, just wait and wait a few years, and you will be at this level." Zhang Junping joked with a smile.
"Okay, okay! Don't talk about those useless things.
What's going on this time? Are we talking about that mysterious gentleman?" Xu Shaomin asked with a smile.
"Just mention my name this time, I guarantee it will work!" Zhang Junping said with a smile.
"Then it's over if you go alone."
"I'm busy! I have to go to work during the day and build furniture at night.
It's already the twelfth lunar month, if I don't hurry up and get out of bed, how will I get a wife next year?"
"Get out, get out! I'm annoyed when I see you now!" Xu Shaomin laughed and cursed.
Zhang Junping was not angry, put the cigarette on Xu Shaomin's desk into his pocket, turned around and left.
"Come back!" Xu Shaomin shouted again as soon as he reached the door.
"What for? A pack of cigarettes isn't enough, right?"
"How is the brewing of the medicinal wine?"
"That medicinal wine needs to be soaked for a hundred days before it is ready.
But it’s coming soon! I’ll make sure you drink it before the end of the year.” Zhang Junping said with a smile, opened the door and left.
Watching Zhang Junping leave, Xu Shaomin shook his head with a wry smile, then packed up his things, said hello to Director Zheng, and left the Materials Bureau.
Today, he is also the office director of the city’s investment promotion working group.
The investment promotion working group is a temporary organization, with personnel drawn from various departments.
The purpose of the working group's existence is to ensure the smooth progress of this joint venture.
The contract is not completed until it is signed.
When the joint venture factory is successfully put into operation, their work will be considered over.
Therefore, Xu Shaomin is now running in two directions. He goes to the bureau in the morning to handle some bureau work, and then goes to the working group.
The office of the working group is at the city hall.
Seven or eight people were crowded into one office, and the working conditions were not as good as when he was the section chief.
Xu Shaomin's current job is to urge all factories participating in the joint venture to seize the time to finalize the list of people who will go abroad for training.
Then he contacted Shinichi Industrial Co., Ltd. to apply for a work visa.
The working group will also send people to the country to ensure that they receive training and no other problems arise.
The work is very tedious and no one has experience, so they all rely on trial and error.
It's definitely not something that can be done just by pulling a string.
Zhang Junping doesn't care whether Xu Shaomin is busy or not.
Return to Corey and start handling official business.
They are all purchase applications submitted by factories affiliated to the XC District or sales stores affiliated with the Materials Bureau.
Zhang Junping arranges personnel to purchase or follow up the supply progress according to their respective areas or categories.
Among them, the fertilizer demand plan reported by the agricultural supplies station is the largest.
In the spirit of a child who cries, he has milk.
At the agricultural supplies station below, reports are made almost every day, and applications are made to purchase fertilizers and pesticides.
Zhang Junping stared at the application in his hand, thinking in his mind.
At present, the country's fertilizer and agricultural production capacity is still too low.
Seriously restricted the development of agriculture.
However, when it comes to chemical fertilizers and pesticides, Zhang Junping loves and hates these two things.
Love, because chemical fertilizers have indeed solved China’s food and clothing problem.
Some people say that it was Mr. Yuan’s hybrid rice that solved the problem of food and clothing for the Chinese people.
However, the increase in grain production depends not only on the research and development of hybrid rice, but also on the increase in the production of chemical fertilizers and the continuous development of pesticides, which are also important factors in the increase in grain production.
Hate, because after entering the 21st century, food safety issues have attracted widespread attention.
However, we have to do it now, and we cannot stop eating because of choking.
Zhang Junping thought, picked up the pen, and wrote a letter.
In the letter, Zhang Junping asked Xu Shaomin to chat with Yamashita Shinichi in the name of his husband.
Let him invest in several large-scale fertilizer plants and pesticide plants in China.
Zhang Junping also emphasized the issue of environmental protection in the letter, and he must ensure that the notebook has all the environmental protection equipment in place.
I’ve said all that needs to be said, let’s wait and see the rest.
At most, I can wait until I see Yamashita Shinichi to explain it again next time.
After writing the letter, he called Li Wenjuan in and said, "Send this note to Director Xu.
He should be with the city government now."
"I understand, Master." Li Wenjuan took the letter and rode her bicycle to the city hall to deliver the letter.
The whole morning passed with signings and approvals.
In the days that followed, Zhang Junping lived a very comfortable life. He went to work every day, giving instructions when he needed to and asking for instructions when he needed to.
In the evening, I went with Qiu Wenyan to make furniture for a date.
Comfortable days always pass quickly.
In the blink of an eye, Xiaonian is coming soon.
On this day, Zhang Junping finished handling his official duties and was just about to sneak out to take a look at the decoration of the restaurant.
Last night, Scarface came over to report that the restaurant was almost decorated and asked Zhang Junping to go over and take a look.
Zhang Junping had just taken his briefcase and walked out of the back office when Director Yao from the bureau office walked in.
"Chief Zhang, are you ready to go out?"
"Chief Yao, welcome the leaders to inspect the work." Zhang Junping said with a smile.
"Chief Zhang, I don't want to eliminate people like you. I only serve your leaders, so I don't dare to come to your procurement department to guide the work." Section Chief Yao said with a smile.
"Chief Yao, what's the matter with you? Let's talk about it in the room!" Zhang Junping smiled and let Section Chief Yao into the office.
"Chief Zhang, this is the benefit our bureau is preparing to distribute during the Spring Festival. Take a look." Section Chief Yao knew that Zhang Junping was going out, but he didn't have any ink on it, so he took out a piece of paper and handed it to Zhang Junping.
"Chief Yao, did you go to the wrong room?" Zhang Junping did not answer, but said with a smile: "You should show this to the director."
"The director has already approved it. Doesn't he want me to come over to you?"
"Looking for me?" Zhang Junping curiously took it and looked at it.
This is also a characteristic of the times!
If each unit wants to distribute some benefits, it has to find a way to get supplies from across the sea.
In more than ten years, the country will have enough supplies, and for such welfare purchases, we will have to scramble to find ways to get the qualifications of suppliers.
"That's right! You are responsible for material procurement. The welfare in this bureau also falls under the category of material procurement, right?"
"Hey! There are a lot of things distributed this year!
All the chicken, duck and fish are available, as well as hairtail and prawns." Zhang Junping said with a smile while looking at the welfare list in his hand.
"Hey, it's not like everyone has been busy for a year. Our bureau was rated as an advanced group again this year.
So the leader said to give everyone more things." Section Chief Yao said with a smile.
Section Chief Yao is chubby and squints his eyes whenever he speaks. He looks like he is smiling, but no one knows whether he is really smiling or fake.
However, Section Chief Yao is still very popular in the bureau, second only to Zhang Junping.
"Chief Yao, are all the things above to be purchased by our Procurement Department, or part of them?" Zhang Junping asked with a smile.
"Aren't you familiar with mutton, pork, and eggs from Red Star Farm? Can you say hello?"
"That's it! No problem, I'll write a note right now and you can arrange for someone to go to Hongxing Farm to purchase." Zhang Junping said with a smile.
"There are also hairtails and prawns. There is still some of what Lao Song bought last time, but it's not enough.
It would be best to purchase more batches and bring them back.
You also know that during the Chinese New Year, we also have to send some New Year goods to our brother units and superior units."
"Let's see, Chief Yao, tell me directly, what are on your list that our Procurement Department does not need to purchase." Zhang Junping didn't have time to talk to Chief Yao, so he simply asked directly.
"There is no need to purchase wine. There are still more than a thousand boxes of wine in the bureau's warehouse, which is enough."
"That means that except for wine, all of these twelve benefits need to be purchased?"
"right!"
"Okay! Leave it to me!" Zhang Junping readily agreed.
"Chief Yao, I have something to do when I go out, so I won't talk to you any more.
Let's have some drinks after we finish our busy days." Zhang Junping smiled and sent Section Chief Yao out of the office.
"Um...stop what you are doing. This is the benefit our bureau will pay at the end of the year.
Lao Song, you are responsible for the hairtail and shrimp. Also, look at other seafood, pick up the expensive ones and bring back more."
"I understand, section chief."
"Lao Wang, go ahead and get this White Rabbit toffee!"
"Sister Liu, you have to personally handle this rice." Zhang Junping said with a smile.
Sister Liu’s husband is a section chief of the Grain Bureau, so Zhang Junping needs Sister Liu to come forward when it comes to rice.
Zhang Junping quickly assigned tasks to each person according to the area they were responsible for.
"Finally, when you purchase, purchase three to five times more than what is on the list.
After all, the Chinese New Year is coming, and your counterpart units will also have to move around." After Zhang Junping finished explaining, he left the office.
…………
"Master Zhang, are you here?"
Scarface has been watching at the restaurant these days.
"Da Shan, you did a good job. It's antique and has an old taste." Zhang Junping looked at it inside and out, and praised it with a smile.
Zhang Junping requires that the restaurant must be decorated in the style of BJ's old restaurant.
There is a lobby on the first floor, and private rooms on the second and third floors.
The backyard is the kitchen and storage area.
"As long as you are satisfied, Mr. Zhang! According to your request, the tables, chairs and benches are all made of wenge wood."
"Satisfied, very satisfied." Zhang Junping smiled and nodded.
In fact, the restaurant was originally well-preserved, but the original windows were a bit small. Zhang Junping specifically requested that they be replaced with larger windows. The original style had to be retained, and the windows had to be replaced with glass ones.
This is a bit difficult, but it still doesn't bother the master craftsman.
This problem was solved perfectly.
"Has the cook been invited?"
"We invited him over, Director Xu came forward, and they immediately agreed to let him go.
I offered Master Yu a salary of 200 yuan a month, and Master Yu quickly made an internal withdrawal.
In addition, Master Yu also brought three apprentices.
I gave them fifty yuan a month."
"In this case, you go back and talk to Master Yu. In the kitchen, two more people will be added, and there can be no less than six people in a row.
You discuss the salary with him.
Also, how are you finding the waiter in the restaurant?"
"Waiter, it's really hard to find one." Scarface scratched his head and said.
It’s not that waiters are hard to find, it’s that Zhang Junping is very demanding in terms of size and appearance.
The male must be no less than 1.7 meters tall, and the female must be no less than 16.0 meters tall, with a well-proportioned figure, good appearance, and no more than 25 years old.
It's not easy to find this one. He's 1.6 meters tall, well-proportioned and good-looking. He comes to your restaurant to serve dishes?
"Go to the various sub-district offices and tell them that we are recruiting workers in the restaurant.
Enjoy the medical reimbursement benefits of state-owned factories and four days of paid leave per month.
The internship period is 30 yuan, and the salary plus bonus after becoming a full-time employee, the average monthly salary is no less than 50 yuan.
Also, the age can be relaxed to thirty years old." Zhang Junping thought for a while and said.
"Master Zhang, is this too high?"
"Is it high? You have to look further ahead.
This is a restaurant invested by Hong Kong businessmen, and the wages are not high. How dare you say that it is a wholly Hong Kong businessman-owned restaurant?" Zhang Junping said jokingly.
"I understand, Master Zhang! I'll contact you shortly!" Scarface nodded and said.
"Well, hurry up and try to get all the personnel in place before the end of the year.
We will officially open on the eighth day of the new year after the new year!
You too, hurry up and go to Xiangjiang.
Let’s go there first to see the world and broaden our horizons, so that we can do big things later.” Zhang Junping patted Scarface on the shoulder and drew a piece of cake for him.
Of course, Zhang Junping is not just a person who can draw cakes. Scarface can get real benefits by following Zhang Junping.
"Master Zhang, it's the end of the year, and the pigeon market is quite popular.
Can you still get supplies?”
"What's missing?" Zhang Junping asked, looking at his own museum space in his mind.
"Lack of everything!
We Chinese people are very particular about celebrating the New Year. Isn’t it almost the New Year’s Eve?
Regardless of whether you have money or not, you have to celebrate the New Year. Those who don't have tickets can only go to Pigeon Market to buy things.
Mr. Zhang, you haven’t been to the pigeon market recently, so you don’t know how popular the pigeon market is.
Meat, eggs, fish oil, etc., as well as fabrics and clothes, are all snatched up instantly as soon as they are put out.
We didn’t even talk about the price, we just got it in our hands first, and if we hesitated for a moment, it would be snatched away by others." Scarface said with a somewhat exaggerated wave of his hand.
"Okay! I understand. I'll contact you and let you know later!" Zhang Junping nodded.
"There's nothing going on here, you arrange for someone else to take charge.
You go back to Pigeon Market and keep an eye on it. It's the end of the year and there are so many people that it's easy to cause trouble.
Send more manpower to keep an eye on it," Zhang Junping explained again.
"I know, Master Zhang!" Scarface agreed again.
After leaving the restaurant, Zhang Junping did not return to the bureau.
Instead, he rode directly to the Hongqi Steel Rolling Mill.
He was going to find Li Kaihe to jointly purchase a batch of new year's goods.
The security guard at the door is very discerning. Zhang Junping has only been here a few times and he has already remembered Zhang Junping.
Knowing that he was a friend of the factory director, I saluted him and let him in.
Arriving at the office building, Li Kaihe's office, he knocked on the door.
"Come in!" Li Kaihe shouted from inside.
Zhang Junping smiled and pushed the door in. "Is Brother Li busy?"
"Hey, Xiao Zhang is here! You are a rare visitor! When did you come back?" Li Kaihe looked up and saw Zhang Junping, quickly put down his pen, took off his glasses, and walked out from behind the desk.
"It's time to come back.
This is not the busy work at work and home recently. I finally took some time today to come and see Brother Li." Zhang Junping smiled and shook hands with Li Kaihe.
Zhang Junping took out two boxes from his briefcase and handed them to Li Kaihe, "Brother Li, these are the gifts I brought to my sister-in-law from abroad. This one is for you!"
"Hey! Brother, thank you in advance!
Go back home for dinner and ask your sister-in-law to cook some vegetables for you." Li Kaihe took the box and thanked him with a smile.
"Let's see what good stuff you gave me!" Li Kaihe said, opening one of the boxes.
Inside is a Swiss Omega watch, which is a low-key luxury watch.
There is no gold or diamond inlay like Rolex, just a simple platinum dial. At first glance, it is not eye-catching at all.
"Brother, your gift is a bit too expensive!" Li Kaihe looked up at Zhang Junping and said.
Li Kaihe is also a person who knows the goods, and he can tell at a glance that this watch is not cheap.
"Brother Li, do we brothers still need to pay attention to the importance of gifts?
Gifts are no longer high or low, but sending goose feathers thousands of miles away is a light gift but a heavy sentiment." Zhang Junping said with a smile.
"You are more polite and affectionate." Li Kaihe also smiled and said: "Brother, I am very touched that you can think of me when you go abroad. There is no need to spend money to buy such expensive things.
It’s not easy to exchange some foreign currency.”
I forgot to update it at noon today, and when I woke up I realized there was no update.
