Lu Yiwei did not study economics, nor did he have any experience in economics. He only knew about the coal mining industry and knew nothing about other fields. He had only learned about automobiles during the negotiation with Shanteng Company, and now it was the aerospace industry. He asked like a primary school student, "Mr. Kang, what factory are you planning to build in our high-tech zone?"
"Actually, it's not a factory, but a research base. You should know that in recent years, it's not about who has the highest production capacity, but who has the most core technologies and patents. After we took the quartz stone from Heishan County for testing, we found that the purity of silica here is extremely high, reaching 99.9%. We can extract silicon nitride from it and develop it to produce high-temperature resistant ceramics, which have a wide range of uses. It can be used to manufacture ceramic bearings, resistors, coatings, insulation materials, etc. So it's not just aerospace materials, but other fields as well. "
After listening to Mr. Kang's introduction, Lu Yiwei's jaw dropped in shock. It was the first time he heard of such a high-end project. In the past, when he came into contact with coal mines, production was everything. But now that he came into contact with something new, his mind was enlightened. "Hearing Mr. Kang's words, I'm full of confidence for our future cooperation. What do you need me to do?"
Mr. Kang laughed and turned to Zhang Dongzi, "Dongzi, you're also an investor in this project. Why don't you tell us?"
Zhang Dongzi immediately declined, "Mr. Kang, you're overestimating me. I'm half illiterate, and this is my first time doing business. What do you want me to say? You do it."
Mr. Kang nodded, "Secretary Lu, the reason why I'm interested in investing in a research base in the high-tech zone is because of the convenient transportation and vast development space. I heard that you've attracted a Japanese automobile group, and I would like to ask about their future development. "
Lu Yiwei said, "Through my several contacts with Mr. Shanteng, he has two plans for the future development. One is to go the civilian route, focusing on minivans and three-phase household vehicles with low prices and market share. The other is to go the high-end route, customizing high-performance luxury off-road vehicles for the China market. "
"Oh." Mr. Kang nodded, "It's similar to what we've heard."
Curiously, Lu Yiwei asked, "Mr. Kang, is your research product related to the Shanteng Company?"
"Yes!" Director Kang said, "One of the projects that our research base is developing is a high-temperature resistant ceramic engine material."
Lu Yiwei understood and said, "You want Shanteng Company to use your materials?"
"You can say that." Director Kang said, "This is just one of our products. In addition, I intend to cooperate with your province's steel plants, coking plants, bearing plants, etc. Therefore, this is also a basic condition for our cooperation. "
How could he make the final decision on this matter? He needed to negotiate with a higher level. He hurriedly said, "Director Kang, you think too highly of me. I'm just the director of a small administrative committee. I can't decide your conditions."
"It doesn't matter." Director Kang said, "You can ask for instructions from your superiors. From my point of view, I really hope to cooperate with you, but as a company, we also need to ensure the minimum survival. "
"Alright." Lu Yiwei shook hands with him and said, "I will ask for instructions from my superiors as soon as possible. If there's any news, I will inform you immediately."
After dinner, after sending off Director Kang, Lu Yiwei and Zhang Dongzi chatted in the tea room on the second floor.
Lu Yiwei said doubtfully, "Dongzi, is this Director Kang reliable?"
"What?" Zhang Dongzi couldn't react for a moment.
Lu Yiwei said, "Dongzi, to tell you the truth, I've cooperated with the Tong Ya Group in Nanyang County. In the end, I found out that it's an affiliated company. I was almost cheated."
"Don't worry about this. Director Kang is definitely the real deal." Zhang Dongzi patted his chest and guaranteed, "The director of this company and my father are sworn brothers. He has a red background and has people in the court. There's definitely no problem. This Director Kang is the deputy director of the Tong Yu Chemical Company under the Tong Ya Group. The group sent him to be in charge of the project in Xijiang Province. So, you can rest assured about this. "
"Oh." Lu Yiwei said in relief, "Dongzi, the conditions proposed by Director Kang are quite harsh. It's a bit difficult to implement."
Zhang Dongzi pondered and said, "Although the conditions are harsh, it's also considering the future of the company. Think about it, although Tong Yu is in the chemical industry, it's also their first time coming into contact with this kind of project. The products have to be marketed. If you feel that it's a bit difficult, why don't I come forward and coordinate? "
Lu Yiwei understood that this was to test the product. If the effect is good, it will enter the market. If the effect is not good, it will improve the process and use Xijiang Province's enterprises as guinea pigs. This condition was indeed ruthless. After thinking for a while, he said, "I'll try it first. If it doesn't work, I'll think of other ways."
"Okay!" Zhang Dongzi said with a smile, "Yiwei, it's not easy for you to be the director of the management committee, right?"
Lu Yiwei waved his hand and said, "Don't mention it. In Black Mountain County, I can still have my own ideas and promote my own ideas. The mountains are high and the emperor is far away. If there's anything, I can solve it behind closed doors. But when it comes to the management committee, it involves the interests of all parties, and the province and city can intervene. If there's any trouble, the higher-ups will immediately know. Sigh, it's really not easy to work here! "
Zhang Dongzi understood Lu Yiwei's feelings and said, "I was chatting with Secretary Fan two days ago, and he expressed his concern for you. So he requested me to put this project in your hi-tech zone. Secretary Fan is willing to give up his own political achievements to think for you. That is very thoughtful of him. "
Lu Yiwei helplessly smiled and said, "That's the current system of our country. It's impossible to achieve anything without sufficient connections and resources. Many enterprises consider the market, materials, and transportation, but they also consider human relations. Otherwise, why would they come to a remote place to invest? Isn't it better to invest in a coastal city? "
Lu Yiwei's words hit the nail on the head. Zhang Dongzi agreed, "This is the environment, and you and I can't change it. Don't worry. Since I've promised Secretary Fan, I will surely make this project happen. "
"Thank you, then."
"What are you thanking me for? I should be the one thanking you." Zhang Dongzi said, "If it wasn't for you leading me to this path, perhaps I would still be playing around. I'll remember this favor in my heart."
Zhang Dongzi's legendary life was enough to be written into a novel. His father was a leader in a third-line military factory. When he was young, he made a mistake and had Zhang Dongzi with a local woman. In that era, this kind of treason was a terrible thing according to the rules of the clan. It was even crueler than murderers, so his father naturally didn't dare to admit it. After the third-line factory was evacuated, his illegitimate son, Zhang Dongzi, was abandoned in the wilderness.
His father had his own family, but as he grew older, he missed Zhang Dongzi even more. He visited him several times, but he didn't get any understanding. He even offered to take him away, but Zhang Dongzi refused and hid in the deep ravine to be the king of the mountain. But now, Zhang Dongzi had no choice but to bow his head to reality. In the end, he used his relationship with the old man to achieve his career.
Lu Yiwei smiled, "If it wasn't for my luck back then, I would've lost my life in your hands. Haha."
Zhang Dongzi also laughed and said, "It's all in the past, let's not talk about it. This is called 'no discord, no concord'. Who would've thought that the two of us would meet again and become brothers? "
"Yes." Lu Yiwei nodded and said, "Fortunately, I met you at the Hebei toll station. Otherwise, I wouldn't know how to end it. This Niu Fuyong is too daring. Even I can't do anything to him. "
"It's just a small matter. It's not worth mentioning." Zhang Dongzi said, "That day, the old man and I happened to go to Beijing for some business. It was for the Tong Ya Group's project, and we ran into each other on the way back. The f * cking local public security bureau even reported the situation to the provincial military. In the end, didn't they obediently bow their heads and admit their mistake? But I quite like your brother's character. Let's call him out for a meal another day. "
"That's not a problem." Lu Yiwei said, "He still wants you to get him a military card."
"That's nothing. I'll get him a set later. A military card, a pass, and even an officer's ID. Why don't I get you one too? "Zhang Dongzi said casually.
Lu Yiwei quickly waved his hand and said, "Forget it. I'll just get Fuyong one. If this kid knows, he'll be overjoyed. Haha. "
"Alright, don't worry about it. I'll call you when it's done." Zhang Dongzi said, "Oh yes, I forgot to tell you. Secretary Fan intends to let Wu Shixun be the secretary of Heishan County party committee. Do you know about this?"
Lu Yiwei said vaguely, "I know a little."
"Wu Shixun is a good person. At least he's much better than Yan Bu when it comes to economic issues. In addition, your Tussah project has been listed as a key project in the city. It's now being piloted in Heishan County. If it's successful, it will be promoted throughout the city. Secretary Fan plans to turn the entire Xizhou City into the 'Tussah Town.' "
Hearing this, Lu Yiwei was excited from the bottom of his heart. If Fan Rongkui had not come to Xizhou City, the project might have been aborted. Now that it had become a key project, the hard work that he had put in for days and nights was not in vain.
Seeing that Lu Yiwei did not speak, Zhang Dongzi said again, "Since you left, many people have been talking about you. Especially every time we have a meal, they always mention you. Not to mention anything else, at least you've sincerely thought about the development of Heishan County. In the past, this was just a springboard for officials to go to the grassroots level. No one has ever considered the welfare of the local people. And you're the first. "
