Rebirth of the Age of Wealth

Chapter 163 Fang Xuelong’s worries

In his previous life, Li Weidong had dealings with steam turbine factories, not only Southern Company, which used Skoda technology, but also Daocheng Steam Turbine Factory, which used domestic technology.

It is a common problem in the manufacturing industry that the payment method is extremely poor. After several cooperations, Li Weidong felt that it was too much and he stopped the loss in time.

Rolling payments keep getting more and more. It’s not that you pay more, but that you don’t pay more. Over time, no one can receive it without a general foundation.

Later I heard that there was a class action lawsuit from creditors, all the accounts were blocked, and I almost went bankrupt.

There is nothing wrong with delivering the goods first if you pay more, but in doing business you have to be trustworthy.

It can be seen that the management of this company is really good. The key is who hands the money. It is really hard to say. Now the invoices are difficult for the tax bureau to distinguish between genuine and fake.

Li Weidong didn't even dare to think that the invoice they issued to Qiushan Cement Factory was authentic. If the official seal was not strictly managed, how could it be clean?

When Fang Xuelong heard Li Weidong's praise, he became bolder and said: "Director Li, I was very excited when I heard what you said last time, but in the past month or so, many big projects have been suspended, and our building materials industry has been greatly affected!"

The cement plant has been accelerating construction in accordance with Li Weidong's requirements. The first bag of cement from the cement plant is expected to be out soon. If sales are not good, he will not only be responsible for the pot.

"It will pass. If the trial run is successful, production will be at full capacity. As long as the cement quality is good, there will be no backlog!" Li Weidong patted Fang Xuelong on the shoulder.

The few people following from a distance were surprised. When they saw Factory Director Fang coming to inspect the workshop, they naturally gathered around him and came often. Everyone was no longer surprised.

But today when they approached, Director Fang waved them away!

Looking at Factory Director Fang's careful look, he must be a big shot, but they don't know him. From last year to now, there are countless leaders who have come to inspect, and they have met many leaders.

But Director Fang has never been so careful. The key is that this person also patted Director Fang on the shoulder. Is this a superior-subordinate relationship?

Human curiosity is like this, the closer you let them get, the more curious everyone becomes.

Li Weidong and Fang Xuelong walked around the factory. The site was very large, not to mention the second phase. If there was a third phase, it would be enough for use, and the place had convenient transportation.

The road out of the factory entrance is the provincial highway. About five kilometers to the west, you will find the intersection of the two provincial highways. It is even very close to the highway that is about to be built.

"Mr. Li, we didn't expect that the land provided by the county was so big at the time. The entire mountain behind it belongs to the company. We can collect and use these limestones directly!"

Fang Xuelong said with great enthusiasm, this is thousands of acres of hillside. Although it is not cultivated land, the 15% stake is too valuable.

"Hey, so you have to work hard, especially the pollution must be controlled. Don't hit me in the face. If anyone hits me in the face, they will be laid off. You know they will be laid off, right?" Li Weidong suddenly became serious.

stand up.

Although the original cement factory did not manage well and was on the verge of bankruptcy, it persisted until the next century, when it was acquired by a cement factory in Qizhou and was reborn.

Since such a cement factory will exist no matter what, it is better for him to do it. At least it can reduce some pollution and contribute to the construction of his hometown.

"Don't worry, our dust removal equipment is very advanced and can definitely meet the internationally required emission standards!" Fang Xuelong slandered in his heart, but he didn't dare to give it a thumbs up.

When the proposal was made, the design institute felt that it was too high, and the county supervisors also felt that the requirements were too high, that it would cost a lot more money, and that future maintenance costs would also be high, but Li Weidong insisted that there was nothing he could do.

"Lao Fang, you did a good job. On the day the first bag of cement comes out, your salary will increase by 30%! In addition, I will formally consider your options!" Li Weidong felt that he needed to reward him. Options are a good thing.

"Thank you, Mr. Li!" Although Fang Xuelong wanted to control his excitement, he still felt that his voice had changed.

His salary has already increased by 50% compared to when he was in Hong Kong Island, and now it has increased by 30%.

This means that in less than a year, his salary has doubled.

Regardless of whether he was excited or not, Li Weidong stood on the hill and looked at the construction site at the foot of the mountain. It was full of enthusiasm, tall chimneys, and big pots. Although he didn't know what they were for, he still felt full of achievements.

"Mr. Li, that is the new staff dormitory. It has five floors in total and is half completed. Over there is the old cement factory. Once the new factory here is operational, we will start demolishing it!"

"It's still running now, but the quality of the cement is a bit low. This is the second phase of our planned land!"

Li Weidong saw that the bottom cover of the new factory building had been completed, which meant that the new cement kiln had been installed. Many large-scale equipment were put in from the roof, so the top cover generally meant that the installation was basically completed.

"When do you expect the trial operation to take place?" Li Weidong wondered if he would secretly come to participate in the trial operation ceremony. He is a serious shareholder of the company.

"If there are no accidents, we plan to start trial operation in mid-October. We are also planning to reverse the schedule according to this node. It is all under control and will even be completed a few days in advance!" Fang Xuelong answered not so confidently.

"Why has there been an accident?" Li Weidong was surprised when he heard this. This was not the high-spirited mood at the beginning.

"I'm not sure, but I heard that the leaders in charge of industry in the city have changed. The speeches given during recent inspections of other factories were not very optimistic, and some even asked for a suspension of construction!" Fang Xuelong said uneasily.

There are many projects in the city, but this is the biggest one. He is familiar with the original leaders of the city and is very supportive of the cement plant and has visited it many times.

But the current leader has been in office for almost a month and has not come once. However, he has repeatedly mentioned concerns about the future of the cement plant in his words.

"Who told you, County Magistrate Zhu?" Li Weidong was curious, Fang Xuelong's sensitivity was so high.

"You don't need to worry about this. We are cooperating, and the funds are our own funds, which have nothing to do with this regulation. And you are a Hong Kong businessman, don't forget this identity!" Li Weidong looked at Fang Xuelong and nodded, his brows also wrinkled into knots.

.

Even though I say so, if you continue to do it after being told to stop clearly, then a series of checks may be carried out and you will not be able to do it even if you want to do it. This method has always been so inferior, but it works.

We are still too conservative here. If there is any disturbance, someone will jump out and pour cold water on us. Although this kind of cold water is sometimes necessary, it is not good if it is frequent and will greatly dampen our enthusiasm.

Therefore, many businessmen choose to invest in the south, where the local policies are better, more coherent, and more inclusive.

"You say that, and I feel relieved. I am afraid that we will be put on hold. After all, this is the mainland, and the county government still has some shares. The direction here is too strong!" Fang Xuelong complained, and all the leaders who received his project accepted it.

Been here many times.

"Director Fang and County Mayor Zhu just called and said that they are accompanying the city leaders to come here. The leaders came here on an impromptu basis and did not have time to notify us in advance!" An employee wearing a helmet ran over and said.

This means that whatever you say comes, Fang Xuelong is a little confused, wondering what this leader means?
