Wen Liang was not surprised how Ning Xi knew that Wen Huaiming was his father. If he could invest millions in a business, he would be unworthy of Chairman Mao's shining portrait if he didn't find out about his partner's background. He was curious about how Ning Xi, who had just arrived, knew some inside information about Wen Huaiming's promotion.
"I have a senior sister who works at McKinsey, do you remember?"
Wen Liang nodded and said, "Of course, I was impressed by your senior sister. I still remember someone said that she would definitely look down on a brat who is still wet behind the ears. Hum..."
Ning Xi kicked him from under the table, as if blaming him for remembering what he said last time when they were joking, and said, "If you do this again, I won't say anything."
Wen Liang was so shocked. Alcohol is really not a good thing. How can it twist a person's personality into this? You were the one who touched her from the beginning to the end. It's very indecent, isn't it? However, he dared to say this in his heart. Wen Liang said seriously, "Isn't that beautiful woman working on a project in Guanshan? What's wrong?"
"Yes, but do you know what project she is working on?"
Wen Liang became interested, took a sip of beer, and said, "What project is related to my dad? Miss Ning, please don't tell me that your beautiful and unique senior sister has a crush on my dad?"
Ning Xi laughed and said, "Your suggestion is good. I'll introduce them to each other when there's a chance. Senior Sister is at the forefront of new trends, so she probably won't mind having an extramarital affair."
Wen Liang knew that he couldn't win over Ning Xi, who had just returned from overseas, on this kind of topic, so he raised his hands in surrender and said, "Alright, alright, let's get down to business, let's get down to business!"
"She is leading a three-person project team to help a group company with strategic planning. The first task is to acquire the Guanshan Xinxing Chemical Plant..."
Wen Liang's eyes flickered, and a lot of information instantly connected in his mind. He said "oh" lightly and said nothing.
"This chemical factory is a professional manufacturer of PAM," Ning Xi said when she saw Wen Liang's face full of doubts, "To put it simply, it is engaged in the research and development and production of sewage treatment and polluted water purification facilities. PAM is polyacrylamide, a professional chemical agent for water purification."
Ning Xi paused suddenly, staring at Wen Liang's chopsticks. Wen Liang was taking a baby cabbage out of the hot pot. He didn't like it, so he didn't order it when he ordered the dishes. Maybe the waiter accidentally put one in when he was adding the garnish, and it sank to the bottom of the pot and was only discovered at this time. The extremely spicy Sichuan peppers were attached to the leaves, dyeing the tender green leaves red, which looked mouth-watering. Ning Xi looked at her own pot, but didn't find the same dish. Her face immediately became a little unfriendly. Without waiting for Wen Liang to react, she grabbed it with a chopstick, and swallowed it in one gulp as a demonstration. However, she didn't expect that the peppers on it were not rinsed off. Her spicy little mouth suddenly opened, and the pink tip of her tongue stretched and retracted. The scene was really ridiculous.
Wen Liang was stunned. It was just baby cabbage. What was the big deal? He smiled bitterly and poured her a glass of beer. The girl took it and drank it all. She patted her chest and shouted excitedly, "Yeah!"
When Wen Liang waved to the waiter to bring a plate of baby cabbage, Ning Xi realized that she had damaged her ladylike demeanor just now, and defended herself, "I'm not trying to steal your things. It's not the lack of things that's worrying, but the inequality of distribution, you know?"
Ever since Wen Liang had said something mean and looked down on Ning Xi's knowledge of Chinese classics, this girl has been quoting classics at every turn, giving Uncle Wen a headache.
No matter how literary you are, can you be more literary than Ren Yi
"Got it, my lady, can we continue talking about the chemical plant?" If it weren't for the fact that Wen Huaiming might be involved, Wen Liang really wanted to leave. Women have this problem, their thoughts are very divergent, and any disturbance may divert their attention. In just this moment, they have been interrupted several times
"Well, I checked it out. This chemical plant was only established in 1992. It was led by the Guanshan Municipal Working Committee and the District Government, and the municipal and district governments invested 8 million yuan. It mainly operates PAM for sewage treatment plant purification, PAM for papermaking and leathermaking sewage, PAM for thermal power plant sewage purification, PAM for oilfield chemical sewage purification, PAM for steel mill metallurgical sewage purification, PAM for industrial sewage purification, and other products, focusing on the water treatment market. The original idea and thinking were not bad, but due to the backward production line technology, the product cost was high and the quality was low, and the provincial Compared with similar foreign products, the competitiveness was low and the sales were not open, so the factory naturally had no way out. There was a call for contracting and reselling in the city, but He Xihua, the municipal party secretary who was in charge of Guanshan at the time, ignored the opposition and decided to invest an additional 5 million to establish the PAM Technology Research Institute for technology upgrades. However, in the following years, domestic inflation began and economic policies were adjusted. Most companies were on the verge of bankruptcy. State-owned enterprises were unable to take care of themselves, and private enterprises were struggling to survive. Where would they have idle funds for sewage purification? The entire 13 million investment was wasted... "
"He Xihua, Executive Vice Governor He Xihua?" Wen Liang had just heard of this name not long ago. After "The Tragedy of Grain" was published in the provincial newspaper, Xu Fuyan received a call from the Provincial Government Office, mentioning that He Xihua's attention to this matter put great pressure on Qingzhou. Xu Fuyan rushed to Guanshan overnight and fought for the initiative with the support of Yin Qingquan, the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, otherwise the consequences would be unpredictable. (For details, see Chapter 96 of Volume 3, Night Rain and Clear Stream. Many characters actually had foreshadowings before, but probably because of Wanzi's habit, they were all glossed over, and everyone didn't have a deep impression, so I made a special note)
"Yes, it was this Vice Governor He!" Ning Xi said with a hint of sarcasm, "A loss of 13 million was just dismissed with a simple request to pay tuition fees. He was promoted two years later, but the mess in Xinxing is still there, which is undoubtedly a slap in his face at any time, so..."
Wen Liang understood something, "So a certain group is needed to take over this mess, right? He Xihua should have been promoted to executive vice-provincial governor at the end of last year, why did he only think of operating this chemical plant now?"
"Not everyone can take on a plate worth more than 10 million yuan, and those who have the ability to take it on will have to see if they have the need! In the final analysis, it still depends on the timing!"
"You mean, now is the time?"
Ning Xi smiled and said, "I don't know if the time has come, but I know an old saying: Xiang Zhuang dances with a sword, aiming at Pei Gong!"
Considering what Ning Xi said at the beginning, Wen Liang frowned and asked, "Qinghua Factory?"
Ning Xi clapped her hands and laughed, praising him sincerely, "You are worthy of being my partner. You can guess this with just this little information. You are smart, no, extremely smart! This group has set its sights on the Qinghua Factory, so they came to help He Xihua clean up his mess, and then use He Xihua to put pressure on Xu Fuyan, and swallow up this huge Qinghua Factory in the name of Xinxing Chemical Factory!"
"Fan Heng'an's previous experience is a lesson for us. Is there really anyone who is not afraid of death?"
Ning Xi shook her head and said, "It is because of the lessons learned from the past that we can learn from the future. Many risks and blind spots can be legally avoided. Fan Hengan's embezzlement was too obvious and unscrupulous. Coupled with the changing political situation in Qingzhou, he crashed into the towering tree of Qinghua Factory. But this group is different. As long as the city agrees, it can use legal and reasonable business means to merge Qinghua Factory through a series of operations, and it guarantees that you will not find any loopholes. You must know that McKinsey's strength is far beyond your imagination!"
Wen Liang had to agree that what Ning Xi said was absolutely right. Times had changed, and the situation now was different from that of Fan Hengan. Moreover, Fan Hengan was in urgent need of the Qinghua Factory to revive due to a broken capital chain, and he was short of funds, so he ignored the business rules and actual conditions and wanted to swallow up this large factory worth hundreds of millions with only a few million, which led to his failure. But if Wen Liang had not been in the middle of the plan, and Xu Zuo had not joined forces to overthrow Zhou Yuanting, such a plan full of loopholes would have had a great chance of success!
This is the national condition, there is nothing we can do about it!
"I looked at the project proposal of my senior sister and her colleagues, and I really can't find any reason why Qingzhou would refuse. This group has enough strength on the one hand, and it also has enough connections on the other hand. In addition, the acquisition of Qinghua Factory under the name of Xinxing Chemical Industry is also a professional match, and it has a legitimate reason. First of all, as long as the initial investment is used to resettle the employees of Qinghua Factory and promises to assume part of the bank loan for non-performing assets to solve the biggest worry of the city, according to common practice, it should be given certain preferential policies, whether it is payment method, loan amount, or land, tax exemption, etc., it will reduce a lot of costs and increase the project's Operability; secondly, Xu Fuyan used the Qinghua Plant to establish the overall situation in Qingzhou. Whether it was to appease the people or to show his political achievements, he must first solve the problem of the Qinghua Plant. To solve the problem, there is nothing more than the reform of state-owned enterprises, but what other ways are there for reform at the moment? It's nothing more than the difference between selling at a higher or lower price. As long as the price offered by this group is reasonable and He Xihua's recommendation and guarantee, in the long run, it will be of great benefit to solve the burden of the Qinghua Plant! Such a tempting plan, let alone my senior sister, even I can't think of any reason why Qingzhou would refuse it. "
"What's the result?"
The answer was of course no, otherwise there wouldn't be this conversation tonight. Ning Xi held her chin up and spoke with surprise, "Xu Fuyan actually refused, and," she looked at Wen Liang with interest, "I heard that Xu Fuyan was already tempted, but changed his mind at the insistence of Director Wen Huaiming!"
When Wen Liang heard this, he suddenly realized why Wen Huaiming's appointment had encountered resistance in the province. The root cause was actually this.
"You understand?"
Wen Liang nodded and said, "Sister Ning Xi, thank you!"
He raised his head, a deep light flashing in his young eyes, and asked, "What is the name of that group?"
"Minghua," Ning Xi seemed to know something, and there was an inexplicable feeling in her tone, "Gu Shitong's Minghua Group!"
Wen Liang's mind buzzed and he murmured, "Minghua..."
