Parallel Lines of Rebirth

Chapter 386: Counterattack plan

Views:

The next day, the front page of Qingzhou Daily published a report about Zhu Jiusi's inspection of Qingzhou. The writing style was relatively stable, and the overall reading was quite standard, which could not be compared with Fan Bo's work. However, this type of report has a fixed format and template, especially the higher the level involved, the more stable it is required, and not making mistakes is the greatest success. In view of the sensitivity of Zhu Jiusi's trip to Qingzhou, the manuscript was sent from the Daily to the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee, which was revised by the Propaganda Department and submitted to the province, and then forwarded to Zhu Jiusi for review through the Provincial Party Committee. There were no changes in the text after the review, but it is intriguing that the accompanying picture was originally based on the Yishan Longtougou Reservoir, and there were several other pictures as alternatives. However, after the manuscript was returned to the Daily, the first priority became a picture of Zhu Jiusi wearing a safety helmet standing on the construction site of the Xijiao Grain Station, which had become a ruin.

The profound meaning of this is self-evident!

Although Qinghe's name was not mentioned in the report, the news of Zhu Jiusi's inscription spread at a very fast speed. It seemed that overnight, the sales of Qinghe stores increased by more than doubled. This was undoubtedly a small miracle for Qinghe soy milk, which had not yet released an advertisement. Taking advantage of this favorable situation, Qinghe opened five stores in three days, with eight direct-operated stores and a daily turnover of over 100,000. In the company's conference room, Li Shengli smiled and held the business report of the day, asking if it was possible to place advertisements on a large scale. Wen Liang used the reason that the central kitchen had just started construction and the time was not yet ripe, saying that once the advertisement was released, the customer flow would inevitably increase sharply, and by then the food supply would not be sufficient, or the quality would be reduced for the sake of quantity, which would not be worth the loss. It would be better to wait for a while. However, while waiting, Wen Liang was not idle. Through Ning Xi's McKinsey senior sister, he invited the industry's top brand design company from Hujiang. Under his macro-guidance, he began to design Qinghe's CIS system. The so-called CIS is brand image recognition, including standard trademark logos, store interior decoration design and hardware equipment planning, store sign design, uniform design, etc., and Li Shengli was in charge. All departments of the company worked together to produce a franchise management manual for franchisees.

It's true that top-notch work is not to be underestimated. After one day of research, one day of design, and one day of revision, the work was completed in three days. Li Shengli sighed: "Only after seeing these people can you know what professionalism is. We followed them to learn for two days, and everyone felt that we gained a lot."

"That hits the nail on the head. As long as we can learn something from them, it's worth inviting them here." Wen Liang turned to Ning Xi and said, "We have to thank Mr. Ning's senior sister. Otherwise, even if we paid them, they might not accept our small order."

Ning Xi was concentrating on studying the designed corporate logo. She burst out laughing and said, "Senior sister is still upset about the last acquisition of the Qinghua Factory. I didn't even dare to tell her that Wen Huaiming's son is also a shareholder of the company, and a major shareholder..."

"If you hadn't said that, I would have almost forgotten it. How about this, let's take some time out these few days to ask our senior sister to come to Guanshan. I have a case for her to do."

Ning Xi raised her head and asked in confusion, "What do you have that's worth using McKinsey's money for? Let me be frank. First, she's my senior sister, so don't be too familiar with her. Second, she doesn't like high school boys. Your personal charm is useless. She won't give you a discount!"

Wen Liangyi sat sideways on the conference table, leaned over to look at Ning Xi, took the pencil from her hand, and twisted it between his thumb and index finger, saying, "How about helping me acquire the Xinxing Chemical Factory? It's worth more than 10 million yuan, is it worth your senior sister making a trip?"

Li Shengli didn't know the whole story and was still reading the franchise management manual carefully. Ning Xi was startled and sat up suddenly. Her raised face almost touched Wen Liang's lips. She asked, "Xinxing Factory?"

Wen Liang jumped off the table, stood behind Ning Xi, and took up her hair and skillfully twisted it into a bun. Then he used the pencil in his hand to pass it sideways, tightly holding the shape. He clapped his hands, seemed very satisfied with his craftsmanship, and smiled, "Not bad, Xinxing Factory!"

In fact, tracing back to the source, the reason why Minghua Group has fallen into the difficult situation in Qingzhou today is because Gu Shitong wanted to kill two birds with one stone in order to clean up He Xihua's mess and swallow up Qinghua Plant with Xinxing. Unexpectedly, the acquisition plan proposed by McKinsey was rejected by Wen Huaiming. Gu Shitong was dissatisfied and interfered with Wen Huaiming's appointment as a director from the province, which really angered Wen Liang. Uncle Wen took advantage of the situation and deliberately injured people and smashed cars at the school gate. He set a trap and lured people into the trap. Then, from Qingzhou to Guanshan, the situation suddenly arose and shook all directions. Gu Shitong not only suffered a loss, but also because of this incident, he destroyed Minghua's plan to expand the territory of Qingzhou and affected his relationship with Xu Fuyan. He really had to swallow his anger. (See Chapter 133 of Volume 3 "A Wisdom Eye Needs to be Sharp in the Fog")

Ning Xi took a look at the window of the conference room and even praised Wen Liang: "Your skills are pretty good. If you go bankrupt in the future, you can work as a hairdresser in a hair salon and you won't starve to death."

"ha!"

Li Shengli at the side finally couldn't hold back his laughter. Ning Xi and Wen Liang glared at him at the same time and hurriedly fled with the excuse that they had something to do. Ning Xi turned the chair and faced Wen Liang. She tapped his calf with the tip of her leather shoe, making him step back a few steps. She said, "Gu Shitong wants to use Xinxing to erode the Qinghua Factory. Are you afraid that the slap you gave him last time wasn't loud enough? You actually want to swallow it up... Wen Liang, don't act on impulse. It's not a big deal to annoy Gu Shitong, but what's the point of having a bankrupt Xinxing?"

Only someone like Ning Xi could casually say that it was nothing to annoy Gu Shitong. Wen Liang smiled without saying anything and pulled the pencil from her head. Ning Xi shouted, "What are you doing? I think it looks pretty..."

"Okay, okay, be good little girl. When we're done, uncle will make up another trick for you." Wen Liang tried to comfort Ning Xi in the same way as he would a child. Strangely enough, they didn't feel disgusted by such an intimate gesture, but instead felt it was natural.

Wen Liang drew a long wavy line on a piece of white paper and said, "Guess what this is?"

Ning Xi frowned, but within a minute, her eyes suddenly lit up and she asked, "Huaihe?"

Seeing how smart she was, Wen Liang couldn't help but praise her sincerely and said, "Do you remember the pollution in 1994?"

Ning Xi finally understood that the Huaihe River pollution incident in 1994 was an indelible pain in the hearts of the residents of the Huaihe River Basin. On July 1, 1994, due to a sudden rainstorm in Henan and Anhui provinces in the upper reaches of the Huaihe River, 100 million cubic meters of water from the already heavily polluted river flowed overnight, forming a pollution belt of more than 100 kilometers in the lower reaches of the Huaihe River. This is the longest pollution belt in the history of my country on a river. Wherever it passes, fish and shrimps disappear, the stench is overwhelming, and the drinking water of tens of millions of residents is polluted, becoming the most serious environmental accident in the 1990s.

Because of this accident, the State Council began to make up its mind to promote the water pollution control in the Huaihe River. After more than a year of research, the Interim Regulations on Water Pollution Control in the Huaihe River Basin were passed on August 8, 1995. However, due to well-known reasons, local governments and enterprises were afraid of difficulties and resisted. By the end of 1995, they were still on the sidelines and few took action.

"In fact, He Xihua had foresight. He invested in and established the PAM Technology Research Institute amid widespread opposition. However, he failed before the market started to revive."

"you mean… "

Ning Xi became interested. What she admired most about Wen Liang was that he could always find a new way out of a blind spot that others didn't notice or couldn't find, and suddenly found a bright and clear thoroughfare.

In her twenty years of life, except Wen Liang, she had never met anyone else who gave her such a sudden surprise in the midst of ordinary life.

"The losses caused by the flood in Jiangdong this time are almost the same as those in 1994. In addition to natural disasters, there are also man-made disasters. A dam burst can pollute the water source of tens of thousands of people. Wait and see. If my guess is correct, within a month, the State Council Environmental Committee will take strong measures to clean up the small papermaking, leather making, and chemical industries along the Huaihe River that are seriously polluting. Other large and medium-sized enterprises must meet the pollution standards. How can they meet the standards? They can only rely on water treatment equipment..."

This was certainly not his guess. In his previous life, after the Jiangdong flood, the State Council once again issued the "Huaihe River Basin Water Pollution Prevention and Control Plan and the Ninth Five-Year Plan" in accordance with the "Interim Regulations". Under the strong pressure from above, Jiangdong Province also formulated the "Jiangdong Province Yishu River Basin Water Pollution Prevention and Control Measures" and began the battle to prevent and control water pollution in the Huaihe River in 1996.

Wen Liang took out a stack of documents from the desk cabinet, handed it to Ning Xi, and said with a smile: "I roughly checked, there are 874 sewage discharge enterprises in the Jiangdong Province alone, and Xinxing is the only manufacturer in Jiangdong that has the technology and ability to produce water treatment equipment. If we take over Xinxing Factory now, we can make He Xihua owe us a favor, and make him and Gu Shitong have a rift, and at the same time make a lot of money every day. Tell me, if you are not a fool, will you let go of such an opportunity?"

"Of course not! Not even a fool would!" Ning Xi still retained her usual rationality and said, "But all your starting points are that the central government is truly determined to control pollution. What if you guess wrong? If you take over Xinxing, not only will you not kill three birds with one stone, but you will also be a burden to yourself."

"A person may fall twice in the same place, but a country will definitely be ruthless even for the sake of its reputation." Wen Liang stared at Ning Xi and said, "Have you ever seen me take a wrong step since you met me?"

Ning Xi was silent, then suddenly smiled and said, "Do you have the money to buy Xinxing?"

Wen Liang also smiled and said, "There is another way to do business called 'OPM' (Other Peoples Money). Ask your sister to help you buy an empty shell company of the same type, and then take over Xinxing for nothing. It shouldn't be difficult, right?" (To be continued.
