Just after Gu Xin hung up the phone, Chen Taizhong's cell phone rang again. This time the caller was Teng Jianhua, the director of the Agricultural Development Department.
Director Teng already knew that Chen Taizhong was back, so he asked Director Chen to sit down with him. However, he was probably from a scholarly background and was not used to those stupid things. You could tell through the phone that he spoke very well.
Awkward.
Chen Taizhong didn't take it seriously at all, "Teng Gong, if you have anything to say, just say it. I know you don't have that many twists and turns in your stomach."
Teng Jianhua's purpose is very clear. He wants money. Director Chen, if you get such money, I can finally start many topics and projects here. No matter how much or how little, you have to give me some, right?
"What you are doing is the Spark Project and has nothing to do with the Torch Project," Chen Taizhong refused straight away, very neatly, "I would like to support you, but there are too many people watching this money. Once something goes wrong, I will
You might end up with your head on the ground!"
"Then why don't you ask for more money for the Spark Project?" Yes, nerds are nerds. Over the phone, Teng Jianhua actually directed his leader, "Director Chen, we are really in urgent need of funds here."
Damn it, the Finance Department is not run by my family. Chen Taizhong was immediately speechless. This Lao Teng's emotional intelligence is obviously not as good as mine.
However, he didn't want to offend Teng Jianhua easily, so he could only sigh, "Oh, Teng Gong, I almost exhausted myself from asking for money this time. The money for the Spark Project... let's talk about it after a while.
"Of course, it's hard to say how long this period of time will take. Both the speaker and the listener know it well.
Next, Chen Taizhong's cell phone kept ringing. As for who was calling, there is no need to go into details. Anyway, everyone in the Science and Technology Commission knows that Director Chen can definitely make the final decision on the money he wants. Find another director.
...useless!
Even the science and technology committees of the districts and counties below have called to ask for money, and Chen Taizhong's production has plummeted. Fortunately, yesterday's director's meeting had already made decisions on these situations.
Everyone agrees that money should be used centrally, and this is non-negotiable. The decision-making power is all placed in the Municipal Science and Technology Commission, which has the right to make suggestions. But it has no right to use it. Not to mention that the money is not too much now, even if the money will generate money in the future
, power is not delegated.
The meeting was all attended by the leaders of the Municipal Science and Technology Commission. Of course, there was a perfectly normal reason for making this decision. Do you need a reason? There are so many that it can crush people to death.
Fortunately, by the time it was almost noon, there were far fewer calls. At this time, Chen Taizhong had slipped into Yuhua Garden and was preparing to have lunch. Meng Xiaoyan was not there, but Ren Jiao was at home.
Chen Taizhong had always admired Teacher Ren's craftsmanship. Seeing that he came over at noon, Ren Jiao immediately rolled up her arms and sleeves and started to work in a big way.
However, enjoyment always comes at a price. Facing a table of delicious food, when Chen Taizhong was about to feast, Teacher Ren said quietly, "By the way, Taizhong, I heard Xiaoyan say, you want a pen
Money back?”
I'm going to vomit blood! Chen Taizhong's face immediately became extremely painful. "Cough cough cough cough cough." He coughed desperately for a long time before speaking in surprise, "I said, this is... what are you doing?"
What do you mean?"
"I have a classmate who works in a high-tech company," Fortunately, Ren Jiao replied, highlighting the key points in the first place, and only focusing on the three words "high-tech", which made Chen Taizhong a little bit better.
Be calm.
I'm sorry, her classmate didn't enter the education system after graduation, so she applied for a job in a high-tech company called "Yuanwang" in Subo. Girls from the Normal University are generally quite sentimental, like Meng Xiaoyan and Ren
There aren't many people like Jiao, and it didn't take long for her to get along with her boss.
When the boss saw that she was talented in literature and martial arts, he transferred her to the finance department as a cashier. She was basically the boss's confidant. However, as a secretary, she didn't dare to be as fierce as a tigress.
Now, the company is encountering a shortage of positions. Since she is a cashier and a mistress, the boss can't hide it even if she doesn't want to. So he asked her if she could find some classmates and see if there are any parents in the classes led by those classmates who can help.
Yes, find some funds for emergency relief.
But who is not short of money these days? After this classmate tried in Subo, it always failed, so he turned to his classmates from other places.
Speaking of classmates from other places, who is doing best now? It is definitely Meng Xiaoyan who is doing the best. She is the principal. However, when she was in school, she followed the trend and discriminated against Meng Xiaoyan. Now
I couldn't open my mouth.
Fortunately, she had a good relationship with Ren Jiao, and she knew that Meng Xiaoyan and Ren Jiao were "iron friends", so she called Teacher Ren for help, and said that as long as they were successful, she would rather not get the money from her boss.
All the benefits will be given to Teacher Ren.
Ren Jiao vaguely agreed, but had no intention of telling Meng Xiaoyan about it. She knew very well who Xiaoyan was. She was a master who had clear grievances and dared to love and hate. It made no difference whether he said it or not.
.
At the weekend, Principal Meng couldn't hold himself back and made a phone call to his cousin, asking when Chen Taizhong would come back and how things were going. So, Ren Jiao learned that Taizhong now had money.
, if you are unsure, ask your classmates.
"Money is tight." After hearing this, Chen Taizhong had no intention of eating and coughed twice. "Tell me, what does Yuanwang Company do? How big is it? Can you come to Phoenix to take root?"
"I'm a computer person, and there's system integration and stuff like that," Ren Jiao wasn't sure. "What is system integration? I really don't know. How about I call her now and ask?"
System integration? Chen Taizhong lost interest as soon as he heard it. To put it bluntly, he is an agent. He buys things from various companies, helps customers with installation and construction, and earns some channel fees and installation fees.
However, Ren Jiao's following words successfully aroused his interest again, "This company is not small. I heard that it has assets of seven to eight million. Each integrated wiring job can cost one or two million."
"Integrated wiring?" Chen Taizhong got excited. In 1998, when integrated wiring was booming, the media also hyped things like "intelligent buildings" and "5a" very hotly.
He didn't know much about the specific things, but he knew that the added value of this thing was extremely high. The most important thing was that this project was one of the key projects supported by the Torch Plan.
Strictly speaking, integrated wiring is not a core project. After all, there are not many independent intellectual property rights in it. Instead, the "Small and Medium-sized Technology Enterprise Support Fund" can be used to support it, so that the policy can be implemented more accurately. But even though
That's right, there's absolutely no problem if you just scratch the surface.
However, it is not appropriate to start this bad thing by yourself. Chen Taizhong pondered for a while and said, "Well, ask your classmate to send me a copy of the company profile. Also, there is a premise. If you want to get my support, you must
Move the company to Phoenix!"
This is a plan that kills two birds with one stone. If the other party is willing to move, he will not only complete the task of attracting investment, but also expand the business of the Science and Technology Commission.
Of course, if this company were in other cities, he might not be able to do so well, but if it were in Subo, he would definitely not be interested in helping it. Then Fang Xiu of the Subo Science and Technology Commission would have the opportunity to speak out.
Wow, if you dare to fall in love with Phoenix City, you still have to rely on Subo to survive?
Would Fang Xiu say that? Probably not, but there is no doubt that Chen definitely does not want to provide ammunition for his opponents to attack him.
While the two were talking, Meng Xiaoyan came back. When she saw the table full of food, she rolled up her sleeves and pretended to hit Ren Jiao, "You bad little girl, you make me eat instant noodles every day. I can only love you, your adulterer."
Now that you're here, you know how to go to the kitchen?"
"Bah," Ren Jiao spat at her with a smile, "Which meal was not cooked by me? You can't even scramble an egg, so you have the nerve to say..."
After dinner, Meng Xiaoyan took the initiative to wash the dishes, but Ren Jiao took this opportunity to make a phone call to her classmates. They happened to be having dinner with their boss there. As a result, Chen Taizhong directly confronted the president of Yuanwang Company.
manager.
The general manager’s surname was Yuan Mingwang, and the company’s name was a homophone of his. This was a common thing in that era. Mr. Yuan was a very eloquent person, and he spoke with a Beijing accent. When I heard that there were people here,
Qian wanted to know more about the company and started talking immediately on the phone.
Most people speak at a speed of about four words per second, but this person spoke at least seven words per second with a big tongue. After Chen Taizhong endured it for more than a minute, he finally couldn't stand it anymore, "I say Mr. Yuan,
Please stop."
"It's pointless to keep talking on the phone. Let's do this. If you really want to talk, come to Phoenix with the information," Chen Taizhong said in an official tone, speaking in a measured tone, "Money is not an issue, but I have a premise.
, if you want to get my support, you must move your company to Phoenix..."
Mr. Yuan was very puzzled by his request and wanted to find out. Chen Taizhong didn't bother to explain so much and just said, "It's not convenient for me to send my money out of Phoenix. If you really want to know the reason, we can meet and talk."
