Rebirth of the Age of Wealth

Chapter 252 252 Cement Holdings Company

Regarding Li Weidong's joke, Fang Xuelong seemed to have no other choice but to laugh along with him. This was his boss, and he had to listen to him on everything at work.

Fang Xuelong is the big boss of the cement factory, and his every move naturally attracts attention. From the moment he entered the office area, the employees he saw began to spread the word.

The employees who were going to the toilet or doing other things in the corridor slowly disappeared, and the entire corridor became silent, with only Li Weidong and his party remaining.

Everyone in the office pricked their ears, wanting to see who this person was, making even the usually serious Mr. Fang cautiously laugh along with him!

Chinese people respect the east, that is, buying a house in the east is more expensive than a house in the west. According to this theory, the office of the big boss is naturally placed in the east.

Walking through the corridor, we encountered offices of various departments along the way. Through the windows, we could see a large number of employees. The office was indeed crowded, and what Fang Xuelong said about being crowded was not an exaggeration.

Fang Xuelong led a few people to the door of a small office. Of course, there was a general manager's reception room next to it, which naturally belonged to Fang Xuelong.

"Please come in, Xiao Wang, please go and do your work first, as long as I'm here!" Fang Xuelong used an invitation gesture to guide Li Weidong in, and said to the secretary who came out of the office opposite.

The secretary's office was opposite the door. When Fang Xuelong went out, he knew that he was not allowed to follow, so naturally he did not dare to make any unauthorized claims!

Unexpectedly, half an hour later, a few young people came in. They seemed quite respectful, and when they were about to say hello, they were politely driven away.

He has been working as a secretary with Fang Xuelong for more than three months. This is the first time that he has done this. It is not easy to think about these people with his feet, but he is so young, especially a young man who is doing nothing, which makes him have serious doubts!

The temperature in the room was very high. Li Weidong took off his coat and felt much more relaxed. Li Weibing was about to take it, but Fang Xuelong had already taken it and hung it on the hanger!

Li Weidong looked at the office. It was very simple, as clean and tidy as the original dormitory renovation, with a large desk, a boss chair, and a large computer on the table.

Behind the boss's chair is a row of kitchen cabinets, with several file boxes neatly placed and labeled. In addition, there are a few professional books, but the rest are empty.

There is a small coffee table in front of the desk, with tea sets on it, and several sofas around it. Fang Xuelong came in and was busy washing and pouring tea!

Li Weidong nodded with satisfaction. He had everything he should have in an office, but he didn't need anything he shouldn't have. There was no need to have a row of bookshelves filled with books that he would never read to act as a facade!

Li Weidong walked to the window and looked outside. He happened to be able to see the office building with scaffolding. He unconsciously touched the radiator with his hands and took it off immediately.

Blowing his hands, Li Weidong said: "Oh, let me go, this heater is so hot, it will burn your hands!"

Fang Xuelong was holding a kettle and pouring tea for Li Weidong. When he heard Li Weidong's movements, he was relieved to see that everything was fine. While continuing to pour tea, he said: "This is our welfare!"

"We have our own boiler. The steam comes out of the turbine and has a very high temperature. It also costs electricity when it reaches the cooling tower. We have offices and dormitories, so we use part of it ourselves!"

"Some time ago, the leaders of the town came to our place. They were very envious and said that next year they would get a heating pipe from us to heat their office buildings and family homes!"

Li Weidong smiled and said: "This is a good thing, but you have to collect money!"

The government showed no courtesy when charging his heating bills. He spent money to connect the pipes himself, and the heating bills were not cheap at all. They were charged based on the area of ​​the entire courtyard.

Fang Xuelong was happy when he saw Li Weidong and said: "It's just a suggestion. This is not a small project. Every household needs to be renovated, and it will cost a lot of money!"

"Then ignore them. Your heating pipe is too hot. Be careful not to burn it, let alone leak it. If it causes non-combat casualties, it will be a joke!"

Naturally, the boss's request must be responded to in a timely manner. Fang Xuelong said: "I will ask someone to adjust it in a while to ensure that there will be no problems!"

Li Weidong took the cigarette handed over by Fang Xuelong, lit it with Fang Xuelong's lighter, took a puff, and sat on a single sofa next to the coffee table!

Li Weidong blew out a smoke ring and leaned on the sofa and said: "I didn't say clearly on the phone. What's going on between you and the county? The honeymoon period has passed so quickly?"

Fang Xuelong sat across from him, lit a cigarette, and said: "It's not a contradiction, just a little disagreement. Now the policy is loose, and the demand for cement has suddenly increased!"

"With our production capacity, there are no problems at the moment, but considering the future, I wonder if the second phase can also be launched, and we also had this plan at the beginning!"

Li Weidong nodded. He proposed this second phase of the project and said, "This is no problem. The second phase can be built. Is there a problem with funding now or is there a problem in other aspects?"

"It's all about money. Our original plan was for two phases, and the factory plan also reserved space for the second phase. The government currently holds 15% of the shares in land investment, and we make the investment!"

Seeing that the tea was almost brewed, Fang Xuelong poured a cup of tea for Li Weidong and continued: "If we are building the second phase now, we will naturally increase capital in equal proportion to expand the capital reserve fund!"

Li Weidong asked: "Loans are also available. Now the bank's policies seem to have been relaxed?"

"I've consulted, and it's OK if it's hundreds of thousands or even millions. Once it's tens of millions, none of the banks in the county will let it go!"

Li Weidong said: "Then let's increase capital in equal proportions. Don't you have a lot of equipment purchased from abroad? Let's deal with the foreign exchange part. Domestic foreign exchange is still relatively scarce now!"

Fang Xuelong scratched his head and said: "It's because of the proportional capital increase. The county's Finance Bureau is in charge of this matter. They can't get it, or they don't want to get it!"

"And County Magistrate Zhu and others hope that the Finance Bureau will take the money. Now the two parties are quarreling. Some people even proposed to continue to use land as shares. What do we need so much land for?"

County Magistrate Zhu is responsible for attracting investment, so he naturally hopes that all without any risk will increase capital. At least Hong Kong capital has come in, which is their credit. This is easy to understand!

The actions of the Finance Bureau are easier to understand. The cement plant has begun commercial operation, its output has increased significantly, it has begun to make profits, and dividends will be paid out soon. This is a political achievement!

Moreover, the county is waiting for the money to celebrate the New Year. Now not only are there no dividends, but they have to pay for it. Naturally, this cannot be done, and the political achievements are gone. As for future dividends, that is a matter for the future!

Li Weidong drank a cup of tea and thought about what was going on.

Since he is engaged in the cement industry, he will naturally not just run this one factory. Naturally, he plans to make it bigger. Financing is more difficult now, and a lot of it must be raised by himself!

It would not be a good thing if the county is lagging behind like this. The county's shares are not large to begin with, and if it continues to be diluted like this, it probably won't be happy!

"Go and talk to the county. We will build the second phase by increasing our own capital. We will pay the county's share, but those shares only have the right to dividends. The annual dividends should be donated to county schools as scholarships!"

After Li Weidong finished speaking, he took a sip of tea and continued.

"Register another holding company on Hong Kong Island and list it under Ribos Holdings. You will be the general manager and change the shares of Qiushan Cement to Ribos. In the future, all cement plants invested in the mainland will be invested by this company.

Well, otherwise there will be too many constraints!”
