Family connections: From special recruitment by the county committee to the pinnacle of power

Seeing Xu Weimin's furrowed brows and silent expression, Xu Hansheng's heart was in his throat.

Xu Weimin's attitude will determine whether Xu Hansheng can be successfully recruited into the county government office. It can be said that Xu Hansheng, who has integrated memories from his previous life, dislikes the feeling of having his fate in the hands of others.

But that's the reality.

In his previous life, Xu Hansheng had excellent scores in both the written and oral exams for the civil service exam, but because he stole Xu Shuai's girlfriend, he was targeted by Xu Changqing and failed to get into the county government office. Instead, he was sent to the water resources bureau, where he worked his way up from a junior staff member for more than ten years before being transferred to the Qingshan City Water Resources Bureau.

If he hadn't met his mentor from his previous life, Xu Hansheng would have remained a lowly clerk for his entire life.

In this life, Xu Hansheng chose a path that he had carefully considered, but there were two key moments, one of which was Xu Weimin's attitude.

"Second Uncle." Xu Hansheng looked intently at Xu Weimin.

Xu Weimin sighed heavily and said, "Hansheng, I agree with your idea, but it's difficult. The factory can be relocated, but what about the workers? This is different from ordinary manual labor. Without skilled workers, the factory can't even guarantee basic operation. Middle-level managers, like workshop directors and team leaders, can't possibly move from Qingshan City to Yutong County."

"On the other hand, I don't have the financial resources to do this. Relocating a factory sounds easy, but rebuilding the factory and transporting equipment costs money everywhere. My second uncle's factory has been closed for almost a month, and his cash flow is..."

At this point, Xu Weimin shook his head with a troubled expression.

call!

Upon hearing this, Xu Hansheng breathed a long sigh of relief. As long as Xu Weimin didn't object, there was a way.

Can a grown person die from holding in their pee?

Thinking of this, Xu Hansheng smiled calmly and said, "Second Uncle, your concerns are unnecessary. The middle-level managers, veteran workers, and key technical personnel in the factory can continue to receive their wages during the factory's construction period. Yutong County is only a little over an hour's drive from Qingshan City. We can negotiate with the county's bus company to arrange for buses to pick them up and drop them off in the morning and evening."

"Once the newly recruited workers in Yutong County are skilled and on the job, we can talk to the workers in Qingshan City. Either we can prepare dormitories for them in Yutong County and let them go home for a day off every week, or they can find another way to make a living."

"Moreover, relocating the factory also has its advantages. On the one hand, the developers in Qingshan City will no longer target Uncle Er. Part of the land lease fee can be refunded, and the depreciation subsidy for the factory can be discussed in detail with the developers. As long as the demands are not too unreasonable, I don't think there will be any problems with the developers. After all, if they wait even one more day, they will have to consider the bank loan interest, and they can't wait for Uncle Er to move out as soon as possible."

At this point, Xu Hansheng paused for a moment before turning to Xu Weimin and saying, "Second Uncle, even if the factory doesn't relocate, I think you need to upgrade your equipment. There are fewer and fewer Altos and Xialis on the streets these days. FAW's new Jetta is cheap, durable, and reliable, making it the first choice for many commercial vehicle owners."

"Personally, I think that Alto will be phased out in a few years. Rather than being forced to upgrade the equipment later, we should take advantage of the factory relocation to proactively upgrade it now."

Xu Hansheng was well aware of what would happen in the future. The Alto and Xiali models were not technically mature. The domestic automobile industry only entered the mature car manufacturing field starting with the Jetta. For at least the next ten years, the Jetta would dominate the market.

This model is even the mainstay of taxis in many cities.

The market prospects are broad, but many parts manufacturers have not yet realized this opportunity.

If Xu Weimin can seize this opportunity, he will certainly not end up like in his previous life, with his factory going bankrupt, owing huge debts, and living a miserable life.

"Replacing equipment? That's no small expense."

Cold sweat beaded on Xu Weimin's forehead as he looked at Xu Hansheng with a complicated expression. It wasn't that he lacked business acumen, but rather that the amount was too large, and he simply couldn't bring himself to make the decision.

"Second Uncle, once a trend is established, it will be irreversible. If we change equipment now, we can get ahead of the competition and occupy the parts market. With technological and talent reserves, we can carry out the next step of industrial upgrading. Maybe we can even negotiate for other high-end models. At that time, Second Uncle will feel that this money was well spent."

Ok?

Xu Weimin looked at Xu Hansheng with a hint of surprise and asked, "Who taught you this?"

Xu Hansheng is only in his twenties, and after graduating from university, he has stayed at home and has no business experience. How could he have thought of the same thing as me?

These words are practically a summary of Xu Weimin's nearly six months of contemplation.

"Second Uncle, our family members are all born businessmen, do we need anyone to tell us that?"

Xu Hansheng stood up with a smile, poured Xu Weimin another cup of tea, and said calmly, "I think Second Uncle must have thought of these things a long time ago, but he was hesitant to make a decision because of the great financial pressure. However, as my father would say, hesitation will only lead to trouble."

"When it's time to make a decision, you can't hesitate. The wheels of history keep rolling forward. Just like a few years ago, those factories that made Santana parts—are those conservatives and old fogies still doing well now?"

hiss!

Xu Hansheng's last words instantly struck Xu Weimin's sore spot.

Indeed, before joining the WTO, the automotive industry developed very slowly, with no new models being launched for more than ten or twenty years. However, in the last two or three years, the development speed has been astonishing.

Now you can hardly see Santana cars on the streets anymore. There aren't even any cars left. Who will buy the parts?

Stubbornness will only lead to being abandoned by the times.

"Second Aunt, what do you think?"

Seeing that Xu Weimin was still hesitant, Xu Hansheng turned to look at Wu Yueru.

"Hansheng is right. Wasn't it because Lao Li's factory suddenly lost its market for the spare parts it produced, and then accumulated a large amount of inventory that it went bankrupt?"

It can be said that Xu Hansheng's words were like a wake-up call. Wu Yueru immediately thought of Lao Li, who had started a factory with Xu Weimin a few years ago. Now, Lao Li was heavily in debt and had disappeared without a trace.

She didn't want her husband to suffer such a tragic fate.

Xu Weimin nodded repeatedly; now was indeed the time for him to make a decision.

Leaving Qingshan City, receiving compensation, and relocating the factory back to Yutong County would be a good option.

only……

Xu Weimin frowned and looked at Xu Hansheng, saying, "Hansheng, I do agree with your idea of ​​relocating the factory, but what does it have to do with whether you get a job in the county government office or not? I can't possibly ask the county to make demands so that you can get a job in the county government office, can I? That's... too unrealistic."

Xu Hansheng smiled faintly, and was about to speak when the door to the private room opened, and a waiter pushed a food cart in.

Once all the food and drinks were served, Xu Hansheng, while eating, said to Xu Weimin, "Second Uncle, of course we can't easily move the factory back. You can't force a deal. The main reason I came here this time is to ask for your opinion, since it concerns the future development of the factory. I can't use family ties to morally blackmail you."

"Even if I don't go to the county government office and don't take this official position, I can't let you, Second Uncle, be in a difficult position. But now that you've agreed to my idea, you just need to follow my instructions."

After saying that, Xu Hansheng revealed a mysterious yet confident smile.
