Chapter 437 The long-awaited news
Director Chu and his comrades were very concerned about the joint venture. The next day, they came to contact Suning, and then called back Xun Jianxiang who was having fun outside, and asked Xun Jianxiang to take Song Yunping to the Zhongyuan Electric Factory for inspection.

"Secretary Zhou, the production lines in your electrical appliance factory are very old. There is only one television and refrigerator production line that was just purchased from Fuyun Foreign Trade. How come it is also shut down?" Song Yunping looked at the secretary of the Zhongyuan Electrical Appliance Factory in surprise.

"Huh? Sales are really not that good. There are already a lot of new appliances squeezed into the warehouse, so we had to stop production." Secretary Zhou explained awkwardly.

After so much experience, Song Yunping could tell at a glance that Secretary Zhou had not confessed, and it was very likely that he had a lot to do with it. Then he did not continue to ask questions, but continued to check under the vigilant eyes of many electrical factory workers.

At this time, the Zhongyuan Electric Appliance Factory was basically in a state of suspension. At most, we just looked at the fixed assets on the surface. To really decide whether to invest in the electric appliance factory, a detailed preliminary investigation is still needed.

"Haha, Mr. Song, the conditions of our Zhongyuan Electric Appliance Factory are still very good. As long as your Hongyun Home Appliances makes an investment, we will definitely turn losses into profits soon." Secretary Zhou gritted his teeth and boasted there.

"Haha, Secretary Zhou is right." Song Yunping smiled and nodded, then explained to Secretary Zhou, "I just came here to check on the situation today. I'll have to discuss the matter with the company when I return to Jinzhou, and then we'll send accounting personnel to conduct a detailed calculation."

"Haha, I understand." Secretary Zhou was anxious, but he also knew that a joint venture would not be accomplished overnight. "Mr. Song, it's already noon. We've already booked a table at the Brilliant Hotel, the best restaurant in Central China. Let's go there and talk while we eat."

"Secretary Zhou, forget about the dinner. I'll call Jinzhou as soon as possible." Song Yunping declined Secretary Zhou and the Zhongyuan Electric Appliance Factory's invitation to dinner, then explained in detail, "If I'm not mistaken, Jinzhou will send a professional team soon. We'll then sit down and discuss the specific investment amount and shareholding ratio."

"Haha, that's as it should be."

"Secretary Zhou, I hope your Zhongyuan Electric Factory will contact your Zhongyuan Second Light Industry Bureau as soon as possible. At that time, our team will mainly negotiate with the Second Light Industry Bureau."

"Mr. Song, don't worry, our electrical appliance factory will contact you as soon as possible."

"Well, see you then, Secretary Zhou."

"Goodbye, Mr. Song." Secretary Zhou and other factory leaders of the electrical appliance factory watched Song Yunping's off-road vehicle go away.

When Song Yunping's SUV disappeared from view, the leaders of the electrical appliance factory were still standing there blankly. At this time, the factory director Liu Dong looked at Secretary Zhou.

"Secretary, is this joint venture going to work?"

"Old Liu, we have contacted so many domestic and foreign companies, and only Hongyun Home Appliances is willing to form a joint venture, so we can only place our hopes on Hongyun Home Appliances." Secretary Zhou said helplessly.

"Secretary Zhou, how did you suddenly get in touch with Mr. Song from Hongyun Home Appliances?" Factory Director Liu Dong was still very confused.

"Haha, what a coincidence." Secretary Zhou made no secret of Director Liu's doubts. "This Ms. Song from Hongyun Home Appliances is the wife of the newly appointed Chief Engineer Su from Zhongyuan Chemical Plant. She happened to be visiting relatives at Zhongyuan Chemical Plant, and Director Chu from Zhongyuan Plant introduced her."

"Well, what a coincidence! It seems that fate has not let us down at Zhongyuan Electric Factory." After hearing Secretary Zhou's introduction, Director Liu was also pleasantly surprised. "If this cooperation is really successful, we have Director Chu to thank."

"Yes! Now there are fewer and fewer people willing to help our Zhongyuan Electric Factory."

Su Ning, who was being a super dad at home, unexpectedly saw Song Yunping and Xun Jianxiang coming back. He asked in surprise, "Pingping, didn't the Zhongyuan Electric Factory invite you to dinner?"

"We kept it! But looking at the cold eyes of the electrical factory employees, we couldn't eat it!" Song Yunping thought of what had just happened, and her heart was filled with bitterness.

"Haha, you are not a qualified entrepreneur." Suning looked at Song Yunping jokingly.

"Oh? What does a qualified entrepreneur look like?"

"A qualified entrepreneur should be ruthless and unfeeling, or at the very least, not be emotionally driven."

"Hmph! Go away, you heartless and disloyal person." Song Yunping then realized that it was Su Ning who was teasing her again.

"Haha! You hold the child, I'm going to cook." Su Ning handed Su Qian in his arms to Song Yunping.

"Ah? Just let her walk on her own."

"My daughter came to see me, of course I don't want to let her go out." Su Ning kissed Su Qian lovingly.

"Hehe. Daddy is so naughty." Su Qian was amused by Su Ning and laughed.

"Brother-in-law, why don't you let me cook?" Xun Jianxiang on the side quickly took the initiative to say.

"Haha, Daxun, your brother-in-law cooks the best food in our family. As long as he is willing to cook, no one will be stupid enough to rush to do it for him." Song Yunping, who was holding Su Qian, explained with a smile.

"what?"

"Daxun, come and help me wash the vegetables." Suning looked at Xun Jianxiang, whose destiny had completely changed.

"Ah good!"

Su Ning brought Xun Jianxiang to the kitchen and told him what he needed to clean. Then he started working on it himself. As he did so, he asked Xun Jianxiang, "Da Xun, you've been driving your sister for quite some time. Is there anything else you'd like to do?"

"Ah? Brother-in-law, I think it's nice to drive for my sister." Xun Jianxiang was obviously a little confused.

"Da Xun, you are not young anymore, it's time to have your own business." Su Ning looked at Song Yunhui's good friend and was very satisfied with himself. "Do you know why I insisted on you learning car repair technology?

It's about preparing you to open a car repair shop and then gradually own your own business."

"A repair shop?"

"Yes! As the market develops, more and more families own cars. I believe you've felt it in recent years."

"Brother-in-law, but I don't have that much money!"

"Silly! Your sister and I will provide all the funds. You just need to run the auto repair shop well." Su Ning looked at Xun Jianxiang expectantly, hoping that he would have a bright future. "I really want to see how you turn one auto repair shop into two stores, or even more branches." "Ah? Brother-in-law, can I really do this?"

"Haha, what are you afraid of?" Su Ning shook his head nonchalantly. "You have me and your sister supporting you from behind. As long as you put in a little effort, you'll be able to make a name for yourself very quickly."

"Brother-in-law, thank you and my sister."

"Daxun, your sister and I actually treat you as our own brother, just like Xiaohui. We just hope that you don't waste your time."

"Brother-in-law, I will never let you and my sister down." Xun Jianxiang nodded heavily.

"Well, I believe you." Suning patted Xun Jianxiang on the shoulder.

Su Ning did not deceive Xun Jianxiang. Compared with the clever Yang Xun, Su Ning and Song Yunping both preferred the simple-minded and righteous Xun Jianxiang, and were more willing to support Xun Jianxiang to succeed.

Given Yang Xun's restless personality, it was inevitable that he would part ways with Suning in the future. Suning and Song Yunping had already seen this, but they did not mind too much. After all, it was Yang Xun's personal choice.

Because of Suning's strong intervention, the fate of many people in "The Great River" has changed. The most important thing is that Song Yunping did not lose her life due to dystocia, but became a business woman in mainland China in the 1980s. Song Yunhui also avoided the Cheng family's trap in advance, and Daxun did not waste five years in Xinjiang. As for Yang Xun, he is no longer the cautious person in the original drama, but has a feeling of being a powerful figure. Suning is also very surprised at her own achievements.

Song Yunping called Yang Xun, who was supervising the construction of Hongyun International Hotel in Shanghai, and asked him to lead a team to the Zhongyuan Electric Factory to conduct preliminary research and joint venture negotiations. Suning and Song Yunping both believed that Yang Xun was capable of completing this task.

In fact, Suning did not attach much importance to the joint venture of the electrical appliance factory. It still devoted itself to the technical upgrade and transformation of the first and third factories. After completing all the technical upgrades, the Zhongyuan Factory immediately stood out and became Number 1 in China's chemical industry. It successfully got rid of the suppression of the Jinzhou Chemical Plant and made Suning a leader in the entire chemical system.

Secretary Shui, the head of Jinzhou Chemical Plant who was far away in Jinzhou, was filled with regret at this moment. He realized that he should not have driven Suning away in the first place, otherwise he would not have ended up in such an embarrassing situation.

In fact, Jinzhou Chemical Plant has achieved excellent results, but compared with Zhongyuan Chemical Plant, it seems a little disappointing. It is not Suning's fault that they deliberately hide their achievements, but it is their Jinzhou Plant that is hesitating to move forward, and the entire factory leadership is caught in endless internal friction.

It was already February 1986. Song Yunping and Su Qian had always been with Suning, while Xun Jianxiang had gone to Shanghai to open the headquarters of his auto repair shop.

Xun Jianxiang chose Shanghai as the location for his first auto repair shop because Shanghai is quite developed and people there have a broader vision than inland areas. Most importantly, Shanghai’s land resources appreciate the fastest.

The main store of the auto repair shop occupies a large area. After all, it integrates automobile repair, maintenance, accessories and cleaning. Therefore, just buying such a large piece of land in Shanghai now is a great value for money.

Thanks to the joint efforts of the Electrical Appliance Factory, the Second Light Industry Bureau, and the Zhongyuan Chemical Plant, Hongyun Home Appliances and the Zhongyuan Electrical Appliance Factory quickly reached an agreement. Hongyun Home Appliances invested 2 million and held 60% of the shares, while the original Electrical Appliance Factory held 40% of the shares and was renamed Hongyun Home Appliances Zhongyuan Branch Factory.

This joint venture was a win-win situation for everyone. Under Hongyun Home Appliances' advanced sales concept, the inventory was quickly dumped at low prices, and then all old production lines were removed, allowing Hongyun Home Appliances to occupy the domestic market at full capacity.

"Chief Engineer Su, you have really worked hard during this period." Secretary Ling looked at Su Ning with a smile on his face.

Even the stern Director Chu beamed at this moment. "Yes! Chief Engineer Su is going back to Jinzhou for the New Year this time, so he must rest for a while."

"Haha, thank you very much, Secretary and Director."

If Secretary Shui said this, Suning would be worried that he was trying to steal the credit again. However, his background in the Central Plains Factory was Director Zhou from Beijing. Unless Director Zhou gave a signal, no one in the Central Plains Factory would take action against him.

“Chief Engineer Su, you should go back to Jinzhou and rest for a while, and then prepare to return to the Zhongyuan Factory to accept more difficult tasks.”

"Oh? Will our Zhongyuan Factory have any big moves next?" Suning looked at Secretary Ling in confusion.

"Haha, there's a rumor going around the Ministry of Chemical Industry lately that they're planning to build new large-scale chemical plants across the country, and Director Zhou is interested in having you lead the team."

"Oh? Is this news accurate?"

"Exactly! Director Zhou wants you to join the Donghai Chemical Plant preparatory team."

"Well, thank you Secretary for telling me this good news."

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that as long as he becomes the leader of the preparatory group of the Donghai Chemical Plant, he will be the head of the plant after the project is approved, which is definitely a sure promotion.

Even if the project is not approved, you will go back to where you came from. Apart from some shame on your face, there is actually no substantial loss.

In fact, Suning had been waiting for this opportunity. When Secretary Xu introduced him to Director Zhou, the first thing Suning thought of was to join the Donghai Chemical Preparatory Group.

Newly planned chemical projects do not have so many burdens and constraints, and can work hard at the international forefront without any worries. They are definitely more comfortable than old-established enterprises such as Jinzhou Plant and Zhongyuan Plant. After all, the interests of such old-established enterprises have been almost divided up by everyone.

When Suning returned to Jinzhou this time, he was immediately called by Secretary Shui to exchange feelings. After all, Suning has now grown into a role that he is also wary of. As they belong to the same chemical system, Secretary Shui does not want to offend Suning too much.

Thinking about when Suning left, he himself also played a not-so-glorious role in it. I believe that with Suning's ability and IQ, he would definitely be able to see it, so Secretary Shui has always treated Song Yunhui very well.

"Suning, welcome back to Golden State."

"Haha, Secretary Shui, you're too polite."

"Suning, your achievements at the Zhongyuan Factory are outstanding!"

"Well, Mr. Zhou and the leadership of Zhongyuan Factory are indeed very supportive, so I am very grateful to Mr. Zhou and them."

"Huh? Suning, you make sense." After hearing what Suning said, Secretary Shui was at a loss for words. "Actually, I'd like to invite you to come back to work at the Jinzhou factory."

Secretary Yishui originally intended to invite Suning back to the Jinzhou factory. This would not only ease the tension between the two sides, but also make him look good in front of the bigwigs of the Ministry of Chemical Industry. You know, Suning is very famous in the ministry now.

"Secretary Shui, Jinzhou Factory has Song Yunhui here, so we don't need to worry about technical matters." Su Ning, of course, knew Secretary Shui's complicated mentality, and explained to him with a smile, "As for whether Jinzhou Factory has me or not, it really doesn't matter."
