The Era of Hard Work

After visiting the company in the morning, Lu Dong hurried back to Lujia Village. Under Xia Dan's introduction, he met Zhou Xuan, an investor from Xichuan who was engaged in the trading industry. A student from the School of Media and Communication went to the West to study abroad for a few years after graduation. Because of the difficulty of leaving his homeland and family affection, he did not stay abroad to develop, and finally chose to return to China to start a business.

The leaders of the county went to Pengcheng to participate in the investment meeting and brought back a large number of investors. Lu Dong had heard of it.

The identity of an export trader plus an investor will not be taken lightly in any place that attaches great importance to attracting investment.

When Lu Dong received him, he couldn't avoid scrutiny, but the old classmates introduced by Xia Dan were more credible than ordinary people.

So, in the morning, Lu Dong and Li Wenyue accompanied Zhou Xuan to visit the three companies in Lujia Village. At noon, they paid for Zhou Xuan's meal in Sun Qinghai's shop.

Xia Dan accompanied the whole process.

To Lu Dong, these are all insignificant things. Once the other party can indeed bring commercial benefits in some aspects, the return will be countless times.

After lunch, the four of them went to Li Wenyue's office in the brigade to drink tea and chat.

After all, Xia Dan was a news anchor on a TV station. With her active atmosphere, there are always suitable topics, and there will be no silence.

Speaking of Zhou Xuan's return from abroad to start a business, Lu Dong opened his mouth to say good things without money: "It's very rare for Mr. Zhou to come back from abroad and support his own economic development and construction."

Li Wenyue and Lu Dong cooperated tacitly, and then said: "Our school is Taidong Provincial University. There are many public-funded overseas students who go out more and return less."

Xia Dan's position is still on the side of Qingzhao County: "Not only the university, but also those who go abroad in society."

Zhou Xuan's accent is somewhat Xichuan-like: "I couldn't get along abroad and couldn't find opportunities, so I came back in despair." His words were also interesting: "My family conditions are not bad, and I can't afford to live abroad. It’s better to come back and be a second-generation ancestor to suffer from the beginning.”

Lu Dong had read the materials of the trading company brought by Zhou Xuan, and he couldn't judge what was written on it, but he didn't hinder his speech: "How many second-generation ancestors can do the company's business so well like Mr. Zhou? The export business impressive."

These words are not only pleasant to hear, but also vaguely probing.

The other party was very young, but Zhou Xuan didn't underestimate him. Young people can start their careers because of their strong family, or their personal abilities, or both.

He ran from Xichuan to Pengcheng, made such a big circle, and then went to Qingzhao. It was impossible for him to rush to Lujia Village without knowing anything. Through other channels, a lot of information about Lujia Village has been collected.

Although there has never been such a statement in the official and media, the statement of Qingzhao No. 1 Village has long been spread among the general public.

This also means that the person in charge of the Lu family village is known to many people.

At least on the surface, I know the general idea.

Zhou Xuan has learned about it, especially Lu Dong, because he is recognized as the leader of the younger generation of Lujia Village. The degree of wealth far exceeds expectations.

Before leaving Xichuan, I knew that Lujia Village was a wealthy village, but I didn't expect it to be this rich.

For Zhou Xuan's work, being rich is a more troublesome thing, which means that ordinary amounts of money are difficult to impress people.

Work is not easy to do, even very difficult tasks.

But if it’s not easy to do, you have to do it, and you have to do it as soon as possible, and you will go back soon.

Even if you can't do it, you have to pretend to be trying.

Since Lu Dong asked about the export business, Zhou Xuan simply said something, wouldn't it be a guilty conscience if he didn't say anything? He generally said: "I have stayed abroad for a few years, and I have met some people, most of whom are Chinese, and there are also companies at home, so there is no chance for cooperation."

What he said were all truths that could stand the test: "A few years ago, when I was abroad, I went to many places and looked around, especially in Chinatowns. Some of the goods we produce here, such as unremarkable local products from various places, are very popular in Chinatown, such as some chili sauce and bean paste, which sell quite well in Chinatown."

Li Wenyue nodded slowly: "I heard from a teacher who came back from abroad to teach that some chili sauces from the south sell well in foreign Chinese communities."

Lu Dong suddenly thought of his old godmother, and he couldn't help thinking extravagantly. If the products of Lu's Food Company were also sold abroad, would there be a market for them?

Selling products abroad to earn foreign exchange will not only bring profits, but also certain preferential policies.

But doing this is very difficult.

Zhou Xuan has studied Lu Dong and Lujia Village, at least the information available to the outside world, so he knows where his family's greatest strengths are, and how to attract people from Lujia Village to come over.

"Mr. Lu, Mr. Li, I'm not afraid of your jokes when I say it." Zhou Xuan began to turn to the topic closer to the topic: "When I first came to Qingzhao, I just wanted to hitch a ride back to my alma mater and see my teachers and classmates. After arriving here, I saw your chain restaurant, heard about Lujia Village, and saw all kinds of special products in Lujia Village, which reminded me of the sauerkraut and tempeh exported by trading companies abroad."

He looked at Li Wenyue: "As Mr. Li said, some of our common specialty products are selling very well in foreign Chinese communities. I have an idea, can we cooperate to make the Lujia Food Company To sell their special products abroad? To overseas Chinese compatriots? To earn foreign exchange in their hands?"

I don't know why, when he heard the word foreign exchange, Lu Dong subconsciously felt a little bad, and always had some bad associations.

Thinking about it again, the first time someone mentioned foreign exchange, it seemed that the businessman from Southeast Asia wanted to take over the newly established catering company with empty hands.

The one who will talk about foreign exchange later will be He Quanzhong, this crooked guy has no peace of mind.

Strictly speaking, Zhou Xuan is the third one, seems a bit reliable?

Lu Dong felt that he couldn't be so unlucky that every time he talked about foreign exchange, he would run into investors who used foreign exchange as bait?

Zhou Xuan didn't understand those secret things, not to mention him as an outsider, even the vast majority of locals didn't know about Lu Dong's entanglement with a Southeast Asian businessman and a crooked businessman behind the scenes.

So, Zhou Xuan didn't know, subconsciously made Lu Dong be a little more careful.

He also talked about the benefits of doing export trade, Zhou Xuan said enough is enough, some words and some things should not be too anxious, this is a very difficult job, it must be done step by step, otherwise it is fine if the goal is not achieved. will sink in.

Lu Dong also responded enthusiastically. Li Wenyue and Lu Dong grew up together with their buttocks naked. In Uncle Qi's words, when you see someone pouting their buttocks, you know what kind of shit they are going to do, and they always cooperate tacitly.

In Zhou Xuan's eyes, Lu Dong and Li Wenyue received him very warmly.

From Xia Dan's point of view, Lu Dong and Li Wenyue gave her, the little section chief, a lot of face, so that no one could fault her, they were quite friends.

After talking, everyone went to Lu's new village for a walk.

Even in the eyes of Zhou Xuan, there is a bit of envy in the country villa-style new village. Living in a big city, it is no longer easy to own such a villa.

Along the north-south main road, when several people were saying this, a Santana car drove over from the north and suddenly stopped beside Lu Dong.

"Busy?" Lu Xia, like other Lu family villagers, looked at strange faces naturally.

Lu Dong smiled and said, "A customer is here, Wen Yue and I will receive him."

Yan Li sat in the co-pilot, glanced at the people following Lu Dong, and said, "Lu Dong, you are busy with your own company, and you are also busy with village affairs?"

Lu Dong said: "I'm named as a deputy director, and I'm in his position to seek his own government."

Yan Li pointed to the trunk: "I went to buy some food with your second brother, and I will cook some Sichuan-style dishes in the evening, and you and your aunt will have dinner together."

"Okay!" Lu Dong was not polite: "I'll go there after get off work."

Lu Xia still didn't say much: "You go to work first."

The Santana car left, and soon stopped in front of a yard near the North-South Avenue. Two people got off the car and entered the gate with some things.

Zhou Xuan saw it all.

The family has basically inquired about everything they can ask outside. There are no grandparents, and there is only one Lu Jianguo from the father's generation. He is currently the first vice president of Lujiacun Construction Engineering Co., Ltd., and it is said that he is well-known in the local construction industry. Hehe, I used to be an engineer.

Among the women, Lu Dong's mother, Hu Chunlan, is the vice president of Lu's food company, in charge of production.

Lu Xia's mother Li Min is a pure rural housewife.

For those of Lu Dong’s generation, the eldest is Lu Chun, the director of Qingzhao University City Police Station; the second is Lu Xia, a soldier in Xichuan, an Air Force pilot; the third is Lu Dong, the general manager of Lu’s Catering, Lu’s Food The vice president of the company and the Lujiacun Construction Company, the deputy director of the Lujiacun Village Branch, and the members of Quannan Securities...

The object of the three brothers, Lu Chun's wife is the editor-in-chief of the social and current affairs page at Taidong Evening News; the second child, Lu Xia's fiancee, is from the army; The March 8th Red Banner Bearer...

Nothing is simple in this family.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xuan felt a headache, as if a mouse had bitten a turtle and had nowhere to bite.

Even if it is as soon as possible, it must be done step by step. At least I have known Lu Dong. From the words and deeds just now, it can be seen that Lu Dong has ideas about exporting.

If you have an idea about foreign exchange, you will have a breakthrough.

Following Lu Dong and Li Wenyue around the Lujia Village, Zhou Xuan deeply realized that the funds he had prepared were too small to impress the people here.

You can only do your best, at least put on a posture, in case someone stares at you, let them know that you have tried your best.

When the sun was westward, Zhou Xuan was going to take Xia Dan's car back to the county.

Seeing Xia Dan lagging behind, talking to Lu Dong and Li Wenyue, he wisely quickened his pace and rushed to the car first.
