Xu Chengde laughed, "Xiao Xu, you don't need to speak well of Qianqian. She just graduated and has no experience. How can she show her ability? I should thank you for giving her a chance."
"Uncle Xu, what you said, I have to explain for Xu Qian. I went to the job market to recruit people, but there was no recruitment poster on the day I recruited Xu Qian. As a result, she went home at night and made one for me. Thanks to the poster she made, I was able to recruit people smoothly the next day. She has strong observation skills and is proactive. She is definitely not incompetent as you said, Uncle Xu."
Although Xu Xiuwen was refuting him.
But Xu Chengde laughed even more happily.
Just at this moment, Xu Qian walked into the living room from the kitchen carrying two cups of tea.
Hearing her father's loud laughter, she asked curiously, "Mr. Xu, what are you talking about with my dad? I haven't seen my dad so happy in a long time."
Xu Xiuwen laughed and said nothing.
Instead, Xu Chengde spoke out the words that Xu Xiuwen had just used to praise her.
Xu Qian was a little shy, "Mr. Xu, I just happened to think of it."
Xu Xiuwen praised: "This shows that you have strong observation skills."
Both the father and daughter were very happy to hear this.
After a brief chat, we got down to business.
Xu Chengde asked: "Xiao Xu, Qianqian told me that you want to buy the winery? Is this true?"
Xu Xiuwen nodded and said, "I do have an idea, but I don't know the situation of the factory. I heard Xu Qian say that you are an old employee of the factory, so I came here rashly."
Xu Chengde asked: "What do you want to know?"
"It's all right. I'll listen to whatever you say, Uncle Xu."
Upon hearing this, Xu Chengde was silent for a moment.
He seemed to be reminiscing about the glory days of the winery, but then something occurred to him and a look of frustration crossed his face.
Xu Xiuwen was not in a hurry. He picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Then Xu Chengde began to talk about the changes in the winery over the years.
How the winery fell behind step by step and finally ended up in bankruptcy and restructuring.
The situation is pretty much the same as what Xu Qian said.
Xu Chengde finally said: "The winery is basically bankrupt now. Those who are capable and well-connected have left, and even the factory director has not shown up for several months. There are only a few hundred people left in the factory now, most of whom are old workers of the winery. Everyone has feelings for the winery and has expectations for the government, but everyone has to support their families, including me. If the winery does not turn around, even I will have to find another job. Xiao Xu, I'll be honest, these few people left are the foundation of the winery. With them, the winery still has hope."
After listening to Xu Chengde's words, Xu Xiuwen asked: "Uncle Xu, if I want to buy the winery, do you think this approach is feasible?"
When Xu Chengde heard this, his expression became very nervous and his hands clenched unconsciously.
He asked, "Xiao Xu, are you serious? Do you really want to buy the winery?"
Xu Xiuwen nodded and said, "I do want to buy it. After listening to your introduction to the winery, I want to buy it even more. But I'm not afraid to tell you that I don't have that much money."
Xu Chengde heard Xu Xiuwen say that he didn't have that much money.
He thought that the money was not that much, just a little short, like ten million.
He didn't know that Xu Xiuwen had less than 20 million in his pocket, which was far from enough.
Xu Chengde said: "I know Deputy Mayor Yang Guang. I have talked with him privately about the winery many times. I can introduce you to Yang Guang."
Xu Xiuwen was greatly surprised.
"Uncle Xu, do you know the deputy mayor?"
Xu Chengde nodded and said, "Deputy Mayor Yang Guang came to the winery to learn about the situation before, so we got to know each other. Yang Guang is very easy-going and easy to talk to, unlike ordinary leaders."
Xu Xiuwen said: "Okay Uncle Xu, then please help me arrange a meeting as soon as possible."
Xu Chengde said: "No need to rush, I will call Yang Guang now, he should be at home in the next two days."
After saying that, Xu Chengde walked into the bedroom and used the landline in the bedroom to call Deputy Mayor Yang Guang.
Not long after, Xu Chengde returned to the living room.
With a smile on his face, he said excitedly: "Xiao Xu, Yang Guang happens to be free and agreed to meet you. He also said that you can go to his house to find him now."
Xu Xiuwen was not the type to dawdle, so he said, "Let's go see him now. Uncle Xu, please accompany me."
Xu Chengde smiled and said, "Even if you don't tell me, I will definitely go with you if it concerns the future of the winery."
"Okay, let's go now. I'll drive."
As they talked, they walked towards the yard.
Xu Xiuwen got directly into the driver's seat, Xu Chengde got in the passenger seat, and Xu Qian also opened the back door and sat in.
When Xu Chengde saw Xu Qian getting in the car, he immediately said, "Qianqian, don't go with us. Let's go talk about business."
Xu Qian curled her lips, "Dad, please don't treat me like a child, okay? Besides, I'm not going with you, I'm going with Mr. Xu, I'm his secretary."
Xu Chengde was speechless.
Xu Xiuwen laughed and said, "Uncle Xu, just let Xu Qian go with you. She is indeed my secretary."
As the saying goes, secretaries do the work when there is work to do, and…
In short, Xu Chengde agreed.
Yang Guang's house is not far from Xu Qian's house.
Yang Guang lives in Guangming Xingfu Community.
After a dozen minutes' drive, Xu Xiuwen arrived at the residential area.
The community is not big and it is an old community.
Yang Guang is the deputy mayor and lives here, which shows that this person's character is absolutely fine.
Otherwise, if you had some sense, you wouldn't be living in such an old neighborhood.
Although Guangming City is not very wealthy and prosperous, there are still many newly built residential areas.
After steadying the car, the three of them got out.
Xu Qian followed Xu Xiuwen closely, acting very well and like a secretary.
Her actions made Xu Xiuwen laugh.
Seeing this, Xu Chengde felt helpless towards his daughter.
Deputy Mayor Yang Guang lives on the third floor.
The three of them walked up the stairs to the third floor.
Standing outside the iron gate of 302.
Xu Qian went forward and knocked on the door.
After knocking on the door, the three of them stood at the door and waited patiently.
There were heavy footsteps behind the door, and then the red-painted wooden door inside the iron door opened from the inside, and a middle-aged man with a rather ordinary appearance appeared inside the door.
The man is not like those positive public servants in TV dramas who give people a righteous feeling at first glance.
The middle-aged man in front of me is not good-looking and is not tall.
If you didn't know in advance that he was the deputy mayor, Xu Xiuwen would believe you if you said you were an ordinary worker in his winery.
The man opened the iron door and said, "No need to put on your slippers, just come in."
The three of them walked into the house.
After entering the house, Yang Guangxian asked the three to sit down on the sofa in the living room.
Then Yang Guang asked Xu Chengde: "Where is Mr. Xu who wants to buy the winery? Didn't he say he would come with you?"
As soon as Yang Guang said this.
Xu Qian pursed her lips and smiled secretly.
Xu Chengde looked embarrassed.
Xu Xiuwen didn't say anything.
Yang Guang was also a smart man and he immediately guessed something from the expressions of the three people.
At this time, Xu Chengde pointed at Xu Xiuwen beside him and said, "Yang Guang, this is the CEO Xu I mentioned."
Yang Guang looked Xu Xiuwen up and down, then looked at Xu Chengde, his face drooping, "Old Xu, I thought you were steady, but I didn't expect you to do something so rash. How old is he?"
Xu Chengde quickly explained it.
After listening to his explanation, Yang Guang believed it mostly.
Because he knew Xu Chengde very well, and he knew that the other person was definitely not the kind of person who would talk nonsense.
And most importantly, there are no major logical loopholes.
He couldn't help but wonder, could this kid who hasn't even fully grown his hair really be that powerful? He's a big star, Mr. Xu, and he wants to buy a winery.
Guangming Winery was once the pride of Guangming City and even Anhui Province. It was a major taxpayer, providing jobs for tens of thousands of people directly or indirectly and boosting the local economy.
But that was in the past. Now, Guangming Distillery has become a tumor and a burden on the government, and it cannot be gotten rid of.
The most important thing is not to just leave it alone.
The government has tried every possible means to revive the winery and has even allocated funds more than once.
