The Era of Hard Work

When meeting old classmates, there are some surprises and some unfamiliar ones. After all, there are too many people who have never seen each other after graduation.

After graduating from Taidong Media College, Xia Dan saw Zhou Xuan for the first time. The other party did call her a while ago, but the relationship between the two was not very good when they were in school. Zhou Xuan went abroad to study after graduation. connect.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Xuan really came to Qingzhao to investigate investment.

There is nothing trivial about investment, and the leader on the spot found someone to take over Xia Dan's job, and asked Xia Dan to go to the teahouse in the lobby to catch up with his old classmates.

It would be even better if we could take advantage of the relationship of old classmates and let people leave a large investment in Qingzhao.

At the tea seat, Xia Dan poured a cup of tea for Zhou Xuan, switched to Mandarin, and asked, "Why didn't you stay outside to develop after going abroad?"

Zhou Xuan spoke with a southern accent: "It's hard to leave my homeland, and I went back to my hometown after I got my degree."

Xia Dan asked with a smile: "Become the big boss?"

"What kind of big boss am I?" Zhou Xuan picked up his cup and took a sip of tea: "My family paid for it and opened a small company to be a trading country. I met a few friends in Chinatown while studying abroad, and I just happened to do some export."

Xia Dan said: "It's much more comfortable than me, no one cares about it, so free."

Zhou Xuan spread his hands: "Freedom is indeed freedom, but you have to be responsible for your own profits and losses. If you are not careful, you may go bankrupt and become a pauper."

Although I haven't seen each other for many years, compared with some people I met in the society, the relationship with my classmates is stronger, and it is easy to find common topics.

During the conversation between Zhou Xuan and Xia Dan, they talked about some classmates back then, and their development after leaving school.

University classmates, separated for many years and developed in the two places, it is not easy to be able to reunite.

"You come to Qingzhao this time, are you ready to invest?"

After all, it is not a purely schoolmate relationship, Xia Dan inevitably gets to the point: "Do you have an investment goal or plan?"

In front of the old classmates, Zhou Xuan seemed to be quite sincere, and couldn't help laughing: "There is no target plan, I participated in an investment meeting in Pengcheng, and I heard your leaders at the meeting talk about hype, and let a partner drag and drop, It was dragged here."

Xia Dan said: "Your university is in Quannan. This is your second hometown. It is a good choice to invest in your second hometown."

Zhou Xuan said solemnly: "When I came here, I just wanted to see my alma mater, my old classmates, and the teachers in the school, so I took a ride. But when I came to Qingzhao, I found that it was very different from what I remembered. Have you forgotten? When our class organized an outing, you brought your classmates here three or four times."

He said unabashedly: "At that time, Qingzhao was poor, dilapidated, old, and old, and only Moquan Park and Li Qingzhao's hometown were a bit interesting. This time I revisited the old place, and the changes were too great."

Xia Dan listened, and felt embarrassed to say something. Zhou Xuan lived in the big city of Xichuan, so he probably didn't go to the counties and towns below. The counties and towns in Xichuan may not be as good as Taidong.

Zhou Xuan said again: "By the way, I have often heard people mention Lu's Village these days. It seems that Lu's Village has many opportunities?"

Xia Dan has been to Lujia Village many times, and he also knows Lu Zhenlin, the secretary of Lujia Village, and Lu Dong, the leader of the new generation, and even an acquaintance with Lu Dong, saying: "Lujia Village is the first village in Qingzhao. Together with the offices, the total income is seven or eight hundred million."

Zhou Xuan thought for a while and said, "I'm out of town, and I've seen the products of the food company in Lujiacun. It seems that they have participated in the Canton Fair. I'm in trade, and I want to see if I can cooperate with Lujiacun. Xia Dan, Do you know where it is?"

Xia Dan said: "I know their vice president and deputy director of the village branch. He is very powerful. Have you heard of Lu's Catering and Lu Dong?"

"Don't tell me, I've really heard of it." Zhou Xuan said with a smile: "Last month when I went to Shanghai, I saw the opening of a store of Lu's Catering, and I also ate at Lu's Hot Pot. I heard that it is a large-scale chain. Hundreds of large catering companies."

He asked, "The boss of this company is Lu Dong? Do you know him?"

Xia Dan saw that his old classmates were developing well, so he inevitably used Lu Dong to improve himself: "We are friends with Lu Dong."

Zhou Xuan said with a smile: "Xia Dan, we are old classmates, you must introduce me if you have the opportunity."

Zhou Xuan, who came here as an investor, was interested in Lujia Village. From Xia Dan's point of view, it was nothing more than normal, so he replied, "Yes."

The two chatted for a while, and made an appointment for Xia Dan to be a guide in the afternoon, taking Zhou Xuan to look around in Qingzhao County.

Xia Dan also has other ideas besides her old schoolmate relationship. She jumped out of the TV station, even if she was taken care of by someone above, but it is very difficult to take a step forward in the short term when she is promoted to a regular department in this age, and she needs to accumulate qualifications , more need to accumulate grades.

Economic development is the key. Even if you work in the Propaganda Department, it is still a great contribution to bring about a large investment.

…………

It is not uncommon for Qingzhao people to have foreign investors in the county.

After the two current leaders were transferred to Qingzhao, the social economy of Qingzhao, which had been stagnant, began to surge violently. When the cultural tourism plan was implemented, I don't know how many investors came here one after another.

Lu Dong was busy running around these few days, and didn't pay much attention to the investors in the county. He devoted a day to visit Uncle Yu, Uncle Ma, and Uncle Wei.

Dad's three comrades-in-arms are actually very important for Lu's Catering to avoid those relatively big troubles. Otherwise, it's hard to say that no one has thought about it when the company has developed to the present.

Of course, Lu Dong was mentally prepared in advance for the possibility of giving up the benefits to some people appropriately. After all, some things are inevitable when they reach a certain stage.

Even with three supporters.

Among the next generation of the three elders, Lu Dong has a very good relationship with Ma Ming. After Ma Ming was admitted to Professor Fan's graduate school, he stayed in Qingzhao for a long time, serving as a professional team for the construction of the Luozhuang Han Tomb Museum. the deputy head of the group.

The two met from time to time, so they were naturally familiar.

Uncle Wei's son, Wei Guangrong, joined the army. This visit coincided with a vacation, so we met and chatted.

What Lu Dong didn't expect was that Wei Guangrong knew Lu Xia more than once.

"That man Lu Xia doesn't talk too much." Wei Guangrong said to Lu Dong: "I never thought that this boring gourd would find a beautiful wife. I thought, he will be a bachelor for the rest of his life."

Lu Dong replied with a smile: "Second brother has been calm since childhood."

Wei Guangrong said again: "If he wants half of you to be eloquent, his level can be higher."

From the words, Lu Dong could tell that Wei Guangrong not only knew Lu Xia, but was also familiar with him.

Lu Dong asked, "Do you see it often?"

Wei Guangrong simply said: "The units are close together." He raised his eyes to look at Lu Dong, glared at him and said, "You boy, don't inquire about some things!"

He is one year older than Ma Ming, and he has known Lu Dong since he was a teenager.

Lu Dong had a vague impression that Wei Guangrong followed Uncle Wei to Lujia Village many years ago, and he fought against Wei Rongguang, Wei Guangrong, who was a few years older, couldn't beat him.

Wei Guangrong said: "Let's get together someday when we are free. Ma Ming, a dead boy, knows how to dig mud all day long. Yu Jing went abroad as an exchange student, and he won't be back for a while..."

He asked Lu Dong: "Have you met Yu Jing?"

Lu Dong shook his head slightly: "No, when she didn't go out, she missed it a few times when she came back."

Wei Guangrong had a plan in his heart, and suddenly asked: "Lu Dong, Uncle Yu treats you well, right?"

Lu Dong wondered why he asked this question, and replied, "Very good."

Wei Guangrong, who was a soldier, was at two extremes with Lu Xia: "You have to find a way to repay Uncle Yu."

No matter how Lu Dong heard this, he didn't feel quite right, there seemed to be something hidden in it.

Without asking him to wait, Wei Guangrong said it himself: "Uncle Yu has no son, so it would be good for you to be Uncle Yu's son-in-law."

No wonder he had to agree, the original words were here, and Lu Dong quickly said: "Brother Wei, why did you say that..."

Wei Guangrong interrupted: "Yu Jing is about the same age as you, and she is not bad in looks. You two are a good match! If you are embarrassed, I will talk to Uncle Yu and Aunt Ma."

"That's not right, Brother Wei." Lu Dong looked at him and said bluntly, "I heard Ma Ming say that Uncle Yu and Uncle Wei wanted to match you and Yu Jing."

Wei Guangrong couldn't help but patted the armrest of the sofa: "Hey, Ma Ming, this kid, he doesn't have a handle on his mouth! When I see him someday, I'll find a Song Dynasty urinal and stuff it in his mouth!"

Lu Dong said, "Brother Wei..."

"I know what you're going to say." Wei Guangrong interrupted him: "It's not like playing together since I was a child. I'm too familiar with it, so it's hard to start."

Lu Dong hurriedly said: "I have a girlfriend, Brother Wei, if she hears your words, I will kneel on the washboard when I go back..."

Wei Guangrong said: "Unfortunately, Ma Ming and Yu Jing are cousins."

Lu Dong simply stopped talking.

Leaving Wei's house, Lu Dong didn't go back to the university city, but went straight to the Mingshi Business Club in Daming Lake. A group of friends in the business field wanted to gather here years ago.

Wei Yong, Mu Kun, Wang Xuming, Du Xiaobing who just came back, plus Zhang Mingyu, Qian Rui and Wang Dong called by Lu Dong will all come over.

For formal gatherings, those who have girlfriends or daughter-in-laws also bring their female relatives.

After Lu Dong arrived, Song Na drove Zhao Juanjuan and introduced them to Ding Qing and the others one by one.

Since last year, people like Wei Yong, Lu Dong, Mu Kun and Du Xiaobing have planned to normalize this gathering.

It can not only enhance personal friendship, but also communicate with each other.

For some things, people you know may not be able to help, but there may be people he knows who can help.

Although Lu Dong and his group are young and old, they are new forces in the rich circle of Taidong.

Like the Wei family, Mu family and Du family, they are all well-known in the province.

Of course, according to what Wei Yong said, Lujia Village is catching up and is about to become the number one village in Taidong.

These words are a bit exaggerated, but the reputation of Lu Family Village is still far from that of Nanshan, but not weaker than that of Dongwang.

None of the people here are simple people, and they can more or less see that once Lujia Village develops, its special collective nature is more stable than private enterprises.

In the middle, Lu Dong received a call from Ma Ming, who asked him about meeting Wei Guangrong.

Lu Dong couldn't speak in front of Song Na in the private room, so he went outside, and after finishing the phone call, he ran into an acquaintance - Mr. Bai Shengbai of Shuntai Investment.
