Chapter 391 The trip to Weiqiao

   "Speaking of this Pingcheng, it's very close to our Qingzhao. When I was young, I brought a few of my brothers to visit from time to time."

Leaving Lvjia Village and entering a provincial road eastward, Lv Jianren drove his car to the northeast and said to Lv Dong and Song Na, "At that time, Weiqiao Cotton Spinning was still a small cotton oil factory, mainly using cotton seeds to press. Sanitary oil, as it is now, has become one of the largest manufacturers in the country."

   Lu Dong answered: "It is estimated that the scale is also ranked first in Asia."

  Song Na said: "This type of processing factory ranks top in Asia, and it is estimated that it can also be ranked in the world."

  Lu Dong thought of something and asked Song Na, "Heidan, have you heard Xia Tian say that this factory is now owned by the Wei family?"

  Song Na asked her cousin Xia Tian: "No, now the controlling party is Pingcheng Supply and Marketing Co., Ltd." She added: "It is said that it is undergoing restructuring and privatization, and it should be completed soon."

   Lv Jianren followed Lv Dong everywhere. He knew a little bit about business after seeing more and asked, "It is said that Weiqiao Cotton Factory is a very good company. Why should it be restructured? Is it privatized?"

   This kind of question is not easy to answer, Lu Dong can only say: "The three companies are not bad, but they are still gone."

   Lv Jianren shook his head and said, "I really can't explain these matters of the public family."

Weiqiao is not located in the urban area of ​​Pingcheng, but is located in a county close to the urban area. In a relatively small county, the economic development speed is astounding. There are several cotton spinning mills in the country and villages such as Dongwang Group. Do business.

   In terms of economy alone, it is much more powerful than Qingzhao.

   The less formal ranking of the top 100 counties in the country is also far ahead of Qingzhao.

As soon as you enter the county, you can feel the difference. Qingzhao is dilapidated and low-rise. The tallest building is only twelve floors. There are many high-rise buildings here, and the roads are very spacious. The scale and population density of the county are obviously still in Qingzhao County. above.

   Lu Dong remembered that Quannan had always wanted to swallow this place, and he had been secretly competing with Pingcheng for many years.

  Approaching the headquarters of Weiqiao Cotton Spinning Factory, from a distance, a grand office building will not be outdated after more than ten years.

   Regardless of whether the cotton factory is public or private, it is an indisputable fact that it drives economic development and provides jobs for tens of thousands of people.

   This kind of labor-intensive industry has a huge role in stimulating employment, and it must be fully supported by local governments.

There used to be a lot of rumors about the group company here, such as the debt crisis, etc., but every time it encounters a crisis, it can get through it safely, and even the province does not dare to let it go wrong easily, involving more than 100,000 jobs. , no one can take this responsibility.

   Considering that Xia Tian had to eat and wash after get off work, Lu Dong did not rush to go there, so he let Uncle Seven drive the car and circled around the industrial park.

  Cotton spinning is the core, and there are other types of enterprises, such as power plants, electrolytic aluminum plants, water supply companies, clothing and home textiles, etc.

   With so many factories, the number of employees can be imagined.

  I have to admit that the wages here are relatively high compared to ordinary factories.

  Although it is already on the outskirts of the county town, with the enterprise as the core, a large-scale residential area has been formed. The five- or six-story residential buildings are connected into a large area opposite the factory area. At first glance, there is no end in sight.

The    is very close, and it can be seen that the residential area is called a commercial street that is not too wide.

   There are many people on the commercial street, many people sell things, and more people buy things, and they mainly eat a variety of food.

The   Santana car was parked on the street. The three got off the car and waited for Xia Tian to come over. Lu Dong opened the umbrella in his hand and handed it to Song Na. When he saw a stall selling snacks on the side of the road, he went with Uncle Seven.

Lv Jianren followed Lu Dong, and he was much more reliable than before. This vendor selling pancakes and fruits would have no customers. He handed him a cigarette and chatted with others, feeling almost the same, and asked, "Brother, are you How's the business going?"

   The boss flicked off the ash and said with a smile, "Earn someone to support the family."

   Lu Dong said, "I don't look like it. Uncle, you can't close your smile, and your hands are full of calluses. You must have made a lot of money."

  The older generation pays attention to not revealing their wealth, but the boss is still vague: "Anyway, it's better than working in a factory."

   He glanced at Lu Dong: "According to the accent, you are from Qingzhao next door? Are you planning to come to work here?" But when he saw the clothes of Lu Dong and Lu Jianren, he shook his head first: "Did you talk about cooperation with the factory?"

   Lu Jianren responded and chatted with the boss, mainly talking about the situation on the commercial street, such as whether there are any big gangsters here.

   People like this are indispensable in every place, but Weiqiao Cotton Factory can develop to such a scale, the business environment is generally good, and people who do business normally here are quite stable.

   A BMW came over, and other cars on the road took the initiative to give way.

   Lv Jianren was curious: "Who is this?"

   Lu Dong is also watching, the leaders of public units rarely ride in BMWs.

   "If you want to make a living in this area, you have to remember this license plate number." The boss's voice was very low: "This is the eldest son's car."

  There are some things that don’t need to be said, everyone will naturally understand.

   On the other side, Song Na beckoned from Lu Dong and Lu Jianren, and they went back, Xia Tian had already arrived.

   Maybe it was because he didn't sleep just after the night shift. Lu Dong felt that Xia Tian's dark circles were thicker than last time, and he was lethargic and yawned from time to time.

   "I'm off work today and tomorrow, it's fine." Xia Tian laughed out of her dimples: "I'm used to it, it's not too late to go back to sleep in the afternoon."

  Twelve hours in two shifts. In fact, the rest time is far from twelve hours. Several people walked south along the commercial street while listening to Xia Tian.

   "The shift can only be handed over after seven o'clock, at least half an hour after finishing work, and going to work will be at six thirty, and there will be a meeting before going to work..."

   It is true that the salary is high and the hard work is true.

  Song Na held an umbrella in one hand and held her cousin in the other: "Your high wages are all earned with time."

  Xia Tian has been working for a long time, and she is used to it: "Isn't everyone doing this when I enter the factory as a worker?"

Walking along the commercial street for a while, there are more and more people, Xia Tian said: "Many people in the factory have raised funds to buy houses here, and the main dormitory area is also here. This commercial street has the largest traffic of people nearby. of."

   Lu Dong could see that even in the middle of the morning, there were many people on the street.

   Xia Tian said this, and took out a few pieces of paper from her bag and gave it to Song Na: "I asked someone to get this. The age structure of the employees in the factory is calculated."

  Song Na took a look. The front-line workers and employees are basically under the age of 25.

   "Will there be trouble?" Song Na asked concerned.

   "It's okay." Xia Tianman didn't care: "These are all things that are public, and usually no one pays attention."

The most intuitive impression of this street is that the flow of people is very high, but the vision can sometimes deceive people. When he came to the entrance and exit of the east and west communities and the dormitory, Lu Dong found a random place, stopped and waited for a while, counting silently. The flow of people passing by in unit time.

  Under normal circumstances, the first half of the morning is a time period with less traffic. Lu Dong changed two positions in a row, and the results were very good.

  Song Na also went around the neighborhood, and when she saw a store selling women's products, she went in and had a look. She would also buy some related products and communicate with the store.

  There are many young people here, there are many young female workers, and there are also shops selling small accessories.

   Warm business opens here, there must be a market.

   Beautiful gadgets, how many girls don’t like? Besides, there are girls who can earn their own money and have independent spending power.

   Turning from the north end of the commercial street to the south end, around 11:30 in the morning, Lu Dong found a hot pot restaurant and invited Xia Tian to have dinner together.

   A few people didn't drink alcohol, and asked for a lot of meat and vegetables.

  Xia Tian glanced at the ignorant waiter and said, "Let's not talk about the taste here, it's not as comfortable as your hot pot restaurant just for the people in the store."

  Lü Dong saw that the pot was open, and took the chopsticks and put the meat inside: "Each store has its own characteristics, let's try it first."

   The four chatted while eating. Lu Dong and Song Na mainly asked about this commercial street and the situation of the residents and workers nearby.

  If you want to open a store here and do business, they are the basic customer group.

"There is a stall here to sell Mala Tang at night, and the business is very good." Xia Tian has stayed here all year round, and she doesn't need to know a lot about it, she knows a lot about the situation: "Every stall is surrounded by a lot of people. People, it’s more expensive to sell here, in the county you can buy 5 strings for 1 yuan, and you can only buy 3 strings for 1 yuan here.”

  Lu Dong poured her and Song Na a cup of Jianlibao and asked, "Have your colleagues gone to KFC or McDonald's?"

  Xia Tian yawned and said, "Those who are in love like to go there, but there are none in the county. They even go to the city. They think it's quite foreign to eat them. Some of them will show off after eating them.

   Lu Dong nodded slightly, at this stage, these Western-style fast food have an unusual status in the minds of young people.

  Song Na is concerned about another point: "How is the security here?"

   "Very good." Xia Tian thought about it and found a comparison: "Anyway, I think it is better than our Qingzhao County."

   In fact, after several consecutive years of high-pressure crackdowns, the social environment has greatly improved, and generally speaking, it is getting better and better.

  Xia Tian added: "There are a lot of foreigners here, and the management is very strict. Those who open stores and do business have never heard of any mess."

   Lu Dong and Song Na also have personal experience. As far as the overall environment is concerned, it is relatively stable to open a store and do business normally.

   Of course, some special industries such as ramen are exceptions.

   These industries require special access conditions or the troubles can be endless.

   After lunch, Lu Dong and Song Na insisted that Xia Tian go back to rest, and the three continued to walk around the commercial street. There were more people at noon than in the morning, just to see the situation in each store.

   They do a preliminary understanding first, and then there will be special people to do preliminary market research.

   For example, in the case of Lu's Catering, Du Xiaobing hired a market research team to conduct detailed shop opening surveys in the business districts where he opened a store based on Professor Yang's shop selection criteria adjusted according to Lu's Catering and the specific market conditions.

   Turn to near two points, make sure that the flow of people and the environment here is okay, and the group is ready to leave.

   came to the side of the car, Lv Jianren just opened the door, someone came from the side and handed a promotional color page.
