Chapter 660 Su Zi Hyatt
Suning only stayed in Beijing for two days this time, and then went to Shanghai on his way back to Donghai. After five or six years of rapid development, Suzi Clothing run by Song Li and Xun Jianxiang has become a brand clothing, and they own six clothing factories.

"Song Li, when will you and Xun Jianxiang have your wedding?" After checking the details of Su Zi's clothes, Su Ning became concerned about the personal issues of Song Li and Xun Jianxiang.

"Ah? It's too early. We haven't planned to get married yet." Song Li looked at Xun Jianxiang next to her shyly, then explained to Su Ning with a wry smile on her face.

"Song Li, you seem to be two years older than Song Chen. Song Chen's son can already help with cooking."

"Haha, it's different."

"Song Li, I'm interested in expanding into the high-end hotel industry. This will inevitably transfer you from Suzi Clothing. I'm worried that this will affect your relationship with Xun Jianxiang, so it's best for you two to get married first."

“Hotel industry?”

"Yes! I've set my sights on the Hyatt Hotels, a US hotel brand. I plan to buy the Hyatt Hotels outright and then restructure it into the Suzi Hyatt Hotels."

"Suning, Xun Jianxiang and I have a stable relationship. Just leave the hotel business to me. I will definitely be able to balance my career and family."

"Daxun, what do you think?" Suning suddenly turned his head and asked Xun Jianxiang.

"Suning, what Song Li said makes sense. Now Song Li and I have no plans to get married."

"Alright! You still need to make your own decisions about your wedding. From now on, Suzi Clothing will be fully handed over to you, Daxun. Also, Song Li will go and set up Suzi Hotel Management Co., Ltd., which is currently affiliated with the Donghai Chemical Plant."

"Okay, I'll go to the United States and negotiate with the Hyatt Hotel as soon as possible."

"Song Li, when you go to the United States, first contact an investment consulting firm, and then hire a negotiation team from that investment consulting firm. That way, you can understand both yourself and your opponent."

"Suning, which investment company do you prefer?" Song Li's heart moved at this moment, and he looked at Suning in confusion and asked.

"Goldman Sachs, and don't worry about spending money, the funds will definitely guarantee sufficient supply."

"Okay, I know what to do."

The business empire in this life really gave me a surprise. You know, I almost never asked about it. Now it is growing rapidly relying on the dense clothing manufacturing industry near Shanghai. More importantly, I took the opportunity to invest in and build clothing factories to acquire a lot of land, which also laid the foundation for subsequent real estate plans, of course, including important cities such as Beijing and Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Hangzhou.

That night, Suning asked Song Chen, who had been promoted to deputy director of the Huaihai District Construction Committee, to come out for dinner. Looking at this guy who was of the same age as himself, Suning couldn't help but show an envious expression. He also wanted to enter the official career like Song Chen. It was a pity that the "Dian Shen" did not allow this rigid rule, forcing Suning to accept this reality helplessly.

In fact, Suning did not stay in Shanghai for long this time. He rushed back to his kingdom, Donghai Chemical Plant, early the next morning. Although there are few specific things that he needs to take care of now, there is still a big difference between being in charge and not being in charge.

……

The one-year period soon arrived. After seeing all the chemical equipment arrive at the port one after another, Suning finally felt relieved. In fact, even if Lu Xiaodi did not recognize the agreement between the two parties, Suning had no way to deal with him. After all, Lu Xiaodi had the strength to ignore him.

Now seeing that Brother Lu had fulfilled all his promises as promised, Suning was really surprised. Then, looking at Song Yunhui who was a little depressed, he knew that this guy still looked down on these Japanese equipment.

"Song Yunhui, believe me, it won't be long before you know how wise our Donghai Factory is." Seeing that it was already the spring of 1988, Suning happily comforted Song Yunhui.

"Well, Suning, maybe you are really right. There will be bread and milk." Song Yunhui looked up at Suning with a forced smile, and suddenly remembered what Suning often said to him.

"Haha, Song Yunhui, it's really not easy to gain your trust in me!" Su Ning suddenly sighed with a sigh on his face, feeling that Song Yunhui in front of him was unruly.

"Suning, actually I have always believed in and admired you, but you have never noticed it." Song Yunhui certainly knew his reputation in the eyes of others, and then he looked at Suning solemnly and explained.

"Haha, what you said makes me look like a heartless man." Su Ning was suddenly amused by the tone of Song Yunhui in front of him.

"Suning, we can actually install the production line while continuing to advance the infrastructure construction."

"Okay! It's arranged." Because Suning had originally built its infrastructure project according to Japanese equipment, the current construction schedule could perfectly match that. Therefore, Song Yunhui and Fang Ping were given the target for the Donghai factory. "Song Yunhui, Fang Ping, we will try to conduct a trial run before the fall of 1988, and put it into full operation in early 1989."

"Director, we can definitely complete the task on time." Song Yunhui and Fang Ping both felt their blood boiling, and then assured Su Ning in a relaxed tone.

The Donghai Chemical Plant is now completely controlled by Suning. Among the six deputy directors, Song Yunhui and Fang Ping are Suning's loyal supporters. Another deputy director, Han Zegang, is also currently aligned with his own interests. The remaining personnel director Ma Baoping and logistics director Gao Xiangrong have also been warned by Zhou Si from the capital. Deputy director of finance Liu Yuhai is also a veteran who is accustomed to the system. The main technical personnel in the factory are all direct descendants transferred from Jinzhou Chemical Plant.

If Suning wanted to turn the Donghai Chemical Plant into a one-man show now, it would be completely unchallenging and technically difficult, and no one would express any other opinions at this time. However, Suning still discusses major issues at the daily meetings. In fact, Suning believes that this is also the best way to spread risks.

"Everyone, our Donghai plant has been under construction for more than a year, and the equipment can actually be installed in an orderly manner. Do you have any other opinions?" Suning looked at the leadership of the Donghai Chemical Plant, which was full of talented people, and suddenly felt a sense of lofty ambition as if he was holding great power.

Ma Baoping and Gao Xiangrong exchanged wry smiles, and then Ma Baoping said to Suning with a forced smile, "Director, isn't this a bit too hasty? We can wait until all the infrastructure is built before installing the equipment and production lines."

"Ma Chang, you actually have a point, but our Donghai Plant's goal is to have a trial run in the fall of 1988, so we don't have much time." In response to Ma Baoping's question, Suning patiently explained, "The establishment of our Donghai Chemical Plant has already cost and occupied a large amount of the country's foreign exchange, so what we must do now is to get it up and running as quickly as possible so that our Donghai Chemical Plant can help share the country's burden."

"Uh..." Seeing Suning suddenly get hit by a big hat, the two old bastards Ma Baoping and Gao Xiangrong were also confused.

"Haha, since everyone has different opinions, let's vote by raising our hands!" Suning noticed the discord between Ma Baoping and Gao Xiangrong, then smiled nonchalantly and made an arrangement, raising his right hand directly. "Please raise your hands if you agree."

"I agree too." Then Song Yunhui and Fang Ping raised their hands at the same time, expressing their unwavering support for Suning.

"I agree too." Han Zegang thought about it for a while, then raised his right hand.

"I agree." Liu Yuhai's eyes rolled around several times, and then he immediately raised his hand with a smile on his face to express his opinion.

At this time, Ma Baoping and Gao Xiangrong both had depressed expressions on their faces. They thought that changing the map from the Zhongyuan Factory to the newly built Donghai Chemical Plant would make their work smoother, but they didn't expect that they would feel even more depressed, and their opponents were several young people under 30 years old.

"I agree."

"I agree!"

Seeing that Ma Baoping and Gao Xiangrong both raised their hands, Suning smiled with great satisfaction and continued, "Then this issue has been passed. Let's move on to the next topic, selecting the person in charge of the terminal project."

"Ah?" As Suning's resounding voice fell, all the factory leaders in the conference room were shocked.

"Everyone, we currently have three people in charge at the Donghai factory dock: Engineer Feng, transferred from the Chemical Industry Headquarters, and Engineers Jin and Zhao, transferred from the Donghai Port Authority." Looking at the astonished deputy factory managers, Su Ning expressed his honest opinion. "There's certainly strength in numbers, but if there's no clear distinction between primary and secondary roles, it will only lead to unnecessary internal friction. Therefore, a temporary command post at the dock must be established as soon as possible."

"Director, I think Lao Jin is the most suitable person. Whether it's his qualifications or his abilities, Lao Jin is unquestionable." Gao Xiangrong had been waiting for this moment, and he immediately stood up first with an excited look on his face.

"Well, Old Jin is indeed very good in all aspects, but he always made small mistakes when he was in the Port Authority. I am worried that he cannot accept this heavy responsibility." Suning suddenly took out the information he had transferred from the Port Authority and placed it on the table in the conference room for everyone to see.

"Huh? Director, that shouldn't be the case!" Gao Xiangrong and Ma Baoping both felt nervous and looked at each other in surprise.

"Director Gao, you can take a look at this information. We at the Donghai Factory absolutely cannot reuse people with such questionable qualities."

After reviewing the information, Gao Xiangrong and Ma Baoping were speechless. Gao Xiangrong quickly stood up and apologized, saying, "Director, this is my oversight. I didn't thoroughly investigate Engineer Jin's past before recommending him." "Director Gao, Engineer Jin is actually quite capable. He's particularly suitable to represent our Donghai Factory in negotiations with the Port Authority. So we shouldn't make sweeping judgments when hiring people."

"Thank you for your understanding, Director."

"..."

Originally, Han Zegang also wanted to recommend Lao Zhao, with whom he had a good relationship. However, when he looked at the brown briefcase next to Su Ning, it felt like an unpredictable time bomb. He was really worried that as soon as he opened his mouth, Su Ning would immediately take out information about Lao Zhao, and then he would be as helpless as Gao Xiangrong.

"Director, I think Engineer Feng from the dock is the most suitable person. Although she is relatively young, her abilities are outstanding. So I support Engineer Feng in taking charge of the dock project." Seeing Suning quickly subdue Ma Baoping and Gao Xiangrong, Song Yunhui couldn't help but show an expression of admiration on his face, and then immediately expressed his opinion.

"Well, Engineer Feng is indeed impeccable, and she was recommended by the leaders of the chemical headquarters. We should at least give some face to our superiors." When Suning heard Song Yunhui's suggestion that Feng Xuehua take the position, he immediately understood and agreed.

Ma Baoping and Gao Xiangrong exchanged a wry smile, then quickly forced a smile and agreed, "We agree that Engineer Feng will be the person in charge of the dock."

"I agree." Seeing Ma Baoping and Gao Xiangrong actually learned to answer quickly, Han Zegang quickly woke up from his thoughts and no longer thought about Lao Zhao. "Director, I also think that Engineer Feng is the most suitable person to be in charge of the wharf project."

"Well, since everyone agrees, let Engineer Feng be in charge of the dock project."

"Mr. Ma, please ask Engineer Jin and Engineer Zhao to come to the factory office this afternoon. I need to talk to them in person. I don't want anyone to work idly at the Donghai factory, or do something in secret that goes against their will." At this time, Su Ning suddenly put away the smile on his face, looked at Ma Baoping and Gao Xiangrong on the side and said.

"Ah? Okay, I'll go inform Lao Jin and Lao Zhao and the others later." Facing Su Ning's meaningful eyes, Ma Baoping and Gao Xiangrong felt a little embarrassed.

"Well, let's adjourn the meeting!"

After the meeting, Gao Xiangrong followed Ma Baoping to his office. After closing the door, he complained, "Old Ma, this Suning is so fucking insidious. Is he really less than 30 years old?"

"Hey! Old Gao, if you have ambition, you don't need age to succeed. If you don't have ambition, you'll live a hundred years in vain." Looking at his fellow sufferer Gao Xiangrong, who was full of complaints, Ma Baoping also had a frustrated expression. "Our factory director is no ordinary person! Now he has even dealt with our old leader Zhou Si. If he turns around and deals with us, it will be a matter of course."

"Oh! It's so fucking frustrating. We were actually controlled by a little brat." Gao Xiangrong was so angry that he lost his composure and started cursing.

"Lao Gao, this is the fate brought by knowledge. They, the first generation of college students, are destined to dominate our entire China." Ma Baoping suddenly said with a face full of emotion.

"Old Ma, are you just giving up like that?" Gao Xiangrong looked at the dejected Ma Baoping in disbelief.

"Give up? There is no such word as 'give up' in my Ma Baoping's dictionary!" Ma Baoping really disliked the word "give up" and immediately said with a vicious sneer.

"Old Ma, what should we do next?"

"Hmph! Lie dormant and endure."

"Ah? You want to become strong through patience?"

"Lao Gao, young people are bound to be full of youthful vigor and are very prone to making mistakes. We just need to wait patiently for them to make mistakes, and that is when we will give them a fatal blow." Ma Baoping suddenly said, looking out the window with a sinister look on his face.

Seeing the vicious look on Ma Baoping's face at this time, Gao Xiangrong began to have some doubts in his heart. If a young man said this, he Gao Xiangrong might still believe it, but for Ma Baoping who was about to reach the upper age limit, this was a ridiculous joke.

At this time, Gao Xiangrong had strange thoughts in his mind. He suddenly felt that it would be a good idea if he could get closer to Suning and Song Yunhui. After all, no matter who dominated the Donghai Chemical Plant, Gao Xiangrong would be able to secure his position in logistics.

……

Looking at the nervous Old Jin and Old Zhao in front of him, Suning greeted them with a smile and said, "Please take a seat."

"Thank you, Director." Old Jin and Old Zhao looked at each other nervously, then sat down carefully.

Su Ning looked at the two people who seemed a little restrained, stood up and poured them a glass of water. "Hey, guys, this is West Lake Longjing tea that a friend of mine gave me. Can you help me taste it?"

"Thank you, Director." Seeing Suning's courtesy towards them, Old Jin and Old Zhao were both a little excited and said, "Well, this tea is really good."

"Haha, you two, actually, the current person in charge of the dock is only temporary. Once the dock storage branch is officially completed, we will definitely appoint a new branch director."

"Ah?" At this time, Old Jin and Old Zhao couldn't help but be surprised.

"Old Jin, Old Zhao, you're both highly skilled professionals from the Port Authority, but you might not understand our Donghai Plant's hiring standards." Looking at the two men in surprise, Suning reiterated the Donghai Chemical Plant's hiring standards. "We at Donghai Plant only prioritize those who get things done. Any schemes and intrigues will be exposed. So, I hope you both can help Engineer Feng and temporarily oversee the dock project."

"Director, don't worry, we will definitely assist Engineer Feng well." Engineer Jin and Engineer Zhao stood up excitedly and made the promise.

"Well, I trust you very much." Seeing that his warning was effective, Suning reminded the two of them meaningfully, "In fact, the leaders of the Chemical Headquarters are also paying close attention to the work of our Donghai Chemical Plant. Our every move is under their watch. If you really want to achieve your ambitions, you must show your true abilities."

"Yes! Director, we will definitely continue to work hard."

It was obvious that Lao Jin and Lao Zhao had been "sleeping" in the Port Authority for too long and were no longer used to the high-efficiency working atmosphere of the Donghai Factory. All they thought about every day were sneaky and deceitful acts, which was something Suning could not tolerate.

The current Donghai Chemical Plant is a new plant, and there are still many suitable leadership positions. If Lao Jin and Lao Zhao can wake up from their "sleep", it will certainly be a happy thing for everyone, and they will definitely be valued by Suning. If they continue to act in this way, Suning will definitely not mind clearing them out.

After everything was settled, Suning picked up the phone on the table and called Director Zhou, who was far away in Beijing, and told him the two decisions made in today's meeting.

"Suning, isn't Xiao Feng too young?" Zhou Si's questioning voice soon came from the phone.

"Manager Zhou, Engineer Feng's abilities are obvious to all, and they were the fundamental reason for the unanimous approval at the meeting. Furthermore, judging by their respective work performances, Engineer Feng is truly worthy of being the person in charge of this wharf project."

"Well, Suning, you have always been steady in your work, and I am very relieved."

"Boss Zhou, our Donghai plant is scheduled to begin a trial run this fall. We'd appreciate it if you could come and witness it!"

"Haha, great! I'll definitely be the first one there when the time comes." Zhou Si on the other end of the phone was delighted, and then he couldn't help but ask Suning again, "But, can you, Donghai, guarantee a production capacity of 200,000 tons?"

"Mr. Zhou, to be honest, Song Yunhui and I have analyzed and agreed that we can definitely reach a production capacity of 300,000 tons."

"Oh? Suning, don't brag!" Zhou Si said to Suning while suppressing his surprise.

"Sir Zhou, I can issue a military order to you."

"Okay! Suning, even if you've given me a military order."
