The Era of Hard Work

Lu Dong entered the main room, Third and Fifth Grandpas were sitting on the couch, Uncle Lu Jianguo was holding a teapot and pouring tea next to each other.

Taking a Mazar, Lu Dong sat on the side of the tea table, took the thermos bottle next to him, filled the teapot with water, and poured himself another cup of tea.

Lu Zhenlin said at this time: "Don't think about what you have. Let's have a holiday right away. First celebrate the New Year, and then think about these things after the New Year."

Fifth Grandfather Lu Zhenfei said helplessly: "It's useless to think too much, this matter depends on the county's decision, and the county can't stop it."

Lu Jianguo sighed, feeling a little heavy.

Lu Dong could tell that Uncle and Grandpa Fifth were somewhat depressed.

"Uncle, Fifth Grandfather." Lu Dong asked directly, "Is there anything difficult?"

Since the year before last, Lu Zhenlin no longer regards Lu Dong as a pure junior, and the same is true for Lu Jianguo and Lu Zhenfei.

Lu Jianguo said briefly: "The county is planning to restructure the three companies, and it will start after the Chinese New Year. The range of action...well, it's a bit big, and it's going to be a facelift."

The restructuring of some public factories is a good thing, such as introducing private capital or allowing management to hold shares, which can effectively increase the vitality and competitiveness of enterprises.

But the case of the third company is obviously not like this: "A foreign group company wants to acquire a construction company in the county. The first company, the second company and the third company are all listed. The county wants to attract investment and foreign capital, and attaches great importance to this. It is said that the top leaders of the two teams have all reached an agreement."

Lu Dong asked: "Didn't the third company do well in the past two years? Every year, a large amount of profits and taxes are handed over to the government. There are not many public enterprises in the county that can do what the third company does."

Lu Zhenfei shook his head: "At this time and at that time, in the eyes of the leaders, sacrificing individual companies for the sake of attracting investment is not a big deal."

Lu Dong frowned: "Fifth Grandfather, has your management ever thought about selling the third company? If you want to sell it in the county, can't you sell it to the locals?"

"Impossible." Lu Zhenfei saw it clearly: "Lu Dong, you have experienced a lot. Don't you understand that the introduction of foreign funds and localization restructuring are not the same concept, and it does not have the same effect on the above assessment."

Lu Zhenlin answered: "The foreign monks can chant scriptures, but the local monks are not popular."

Lu Dong suddenly thought of the rumored Jianlibao, similar situations should be inevitable in this era.

Lu Zhenfei sighed: "I'm almost there, and I plan to retire early next year. The leader also hinted at me during the conversation. When it's time to quit, I have to quit. Don't be a stumbling block to others, so as not to be kicked away. "

He glanced at Lu Zhenlin and said with regret, "Third Brother, I originally planned to build a primary school for our village next year. If it doesn't work out, it's better to change the plan quickly. We don't know the situation of the buyer. This is a school, and we can't just hand it over to him." For those who don’t trust them, the third company should fail, and the village has to make plans early, and invite Gao Ming.”

Lu Jianguo lit a cigarette and smoked it. He was transferred from the army to the local government. He has been working in the third company.

If the company's benefits are not good, it can still be accepted, such a good benefit...

Lu Dong was afraid that his uncle would not be able to turn around, so he said: "I have encountered similar things in the city, and this kind of thing cannot be stopped."

Lu Zhenfei smiled: "You boy, you have learned to turn corners. Don't worry, your uncle and I are not confused. I have been in the third company for these years. I dare not say that I have not made mistakes, but I dare say that I have a clear conscience. But if you want to choose, You can pick thorns out of an egg, if you really want to block the car with your arms, this old bone can't stand it."

"It's fine if you withdraw, so you don't get in the way of others and make people look uncomfortable." Lu Zhenlin also lit a cigarette: "After withdrawing, I just came back. Didn't I tell you just now that our village is waiting for prosperity, so we returned. Dry!"

Lu Jianguo held a cigarette in his hand and said, "It doesn't matter to us, if we retreat, we will retreat. Our village is famous for its architecture. There are hundreds of people in the village who eat this bowl of rice. A bunch of old men can't run into the shop." To sell offal in the supermarket?"

Hearing this, Lu Dong suddenly had an idea. Lujia Village is most famous for its construction and stewed water. The latter established a company and developed extremely fast.

"I have an idea." Lu Dong already had a decisive voice in the village, so when he thought of it, he said, "Can our village recruit a construction team? Or set up a company to undertake construction projects?"

Lu Zhenlin said at this time: "Before you came, I discussed it with your uncle and fifth grandfather. I asked you to come in, and I also wanted to hear your thoughts."

No wonder the third grandpa wanted the fifth grandpa to step back and work, dare to have such an idea! Lu Dong said frankly: "My understanding of the construction industry is definitely not as good as that of Uncle and Fifth Grandpa. I don't know much about this aspect. I just have such an idea. With the development of Lujia Village, the whole village is bound to undergo a lot of construction. There are advantages, there are more people who are knowledgeable, and there are many years of relationship between the uncle and the fifth grandfather, all of which can play a role."

Not to mention anything else, the work done by the team led by the uncle is well-known.

Lu Dong continued: "The university town is now a big undertaking. With our reputation and relationship, it is not difficult to get a job. In the university town, we don't have to worry too much about paying bills."

Lu Zhenlin looked at Lu Zhenfei: "You are five years younger than me, so you will be completely retired from the pension? You will panic when you are free! It doesn't matter if we don't have development qualifications, we can start from the construction, let's not talk about the outside, I will say Speaking of our village plan, the second phase of the factory project was originally undertaken by the third company. Next, the factory will build a new product development center and office area, and the brigade will also have to be rebuilt. The future development will be smooth, and we will try to change the whole village. Build a new countryside."

"It goes without saying that there are too many projects in the university town. How many of the projects on the third company's side are based on the good reputation you and Jianguo have accumulated over the years? It is difficult to get accounts in this line of work, but which line of work is difficult to get accounts for?" Disaster?"

This is the truth, any line of business, to get accounts is a huge problem.

Lu Zhenfei also has his own considerations: "Without the support of the public, to do this business is to lose a backer."

But Lu Jianguo said: "We can't compare big companies, but small and medium-sized construction teams are basically private, and companies like the third company are rare."

Most of the township and even county-level construction stations have basically gone bankrupt.

Even if it can survive, it may face an embarrassing situation like the three companies.

No matter how good the local monks can recite scriptures, in the social environment, they are not as popular as foreign monks.

Lu Jianguo stubbed out his cigarette butt: "The problem is that there are too many such small private companies and teams, the competition is very fierce, and with layers of subcontracting, profits are very low."

Since we want to be a company, we have to consider profit, which is a matter of course.

Lu Dong listened and thought about it, and he could say some ideas as a reference: "In the field of architecture, I can only talk about corners and corners, and put forward an idea, but I can't express it specifically. But I do catering, and I want to To make money, one is to have a market and audience, the other is to have one's own characteristics, and the third is to..."

Lu Jianguo seemed to think of something from Lu Dong's words: "Features? Features? Specialties?"

Lu Dong stopped so as not to disturb his uncle's thoughts.

Professionals do professional things. Lu Dong is far behind Lu Jianguo in the construction industry.

Before he transferred to the third company, Lu Jianguo was an old engineer.

Like most men of the founding generation in Lujia Village, he was a good mason without joining the army.

Lujia Village is famous far and near, one is the negative reputation brought about by the stubborn clan power, and the other is the construction and stewed water.

Most of the buildings on the Old Street and Ji Street were built by the people of Lujia Village.

Some were built by ancestors, and some were built by this generation.

But the houses built by people from other villages are rare, not to mention rare.

Lu Zhenlin has worked as the general manager of the food company for so long, and his mind has become more and more active. Lu Dong's words also gave him inspiration: "If we really want to do it, we should do something that others can't easily do, and we are better at it."

Lu Jianguo lit another cigarette and asked, "Uncle Wu, I remember that when our village repaired the old columbarium for the last time, you were the foreman who led the team."

Lu Zhenfei waved his hand: "Don't mention the courage of the old man. I haven't touched the trowel knife for a long time, and my hands have long been rusty. The things that the old man passed on to me are also outdated."

Lu Dong understood what the uncle said: "Fifth Grandfather, what has been passed down from generation to generation may not necessarily be outdated!"

Lu Zhenfei asked: "Is there really something wrong?"

Lu Dong couldn't be sure: "I think there will definitely be trouble in the future, but it's hard to say now."

Lu Zhenlin answered: "Dongzi, you have seen a lot, and you know a lot of people, so you should observe more." He looked at Lu Jianguo and Lu Zhenfei: "Our discussion is limited to this room, don't spread it to the outside world for now. The county has not yet made a final decision, and you are all well-organized people, so it won't look good or sound good if it spreads."

Lu Dong said: "There are rumors about this, and they are almost indistinguishable, so people have to find a way out."

Lu Zhenfei waved his hand: "Things in a public company are different from those in a private company. It's quite complicated."

Lu Jianguo nodded slightly: "Dongzi, don't mention this to anyone for now."

"I know." Lu Dong replied.

Lu Zhenlin said again: "The matter is not urgent. Didn't you say that it will take a few months at the soonest? Let's discuss it slowly, calm down and do more research, do more research, don't do it blindly, have a certain degree of confidence, and it will not matter if you are sure to start it." Late."

Lu Dong answered: "Third Grandpa is right. What we are discussing now is our own opinion. Whether it is true or not depends on the actual situation."

Lu Zhenlin gave encouragement to Lu Zhenfei, who was about to retire: "Old man, don't say anything else, if this thing can be done, the younger generation, you have to take care of it again."

Lu Zhenfei saw that the third brother would not let him stay at home, and immediately said: "Know the situation and the market, and leave these to me and Jianguo."

This kind of big event, if you can't think about it, just do it. There is a lot of preparation work in advance, and the third company is not 100% sure.
