Chapter 86 Gifts
Updated: 2012-08-05
He drove Xiong Dailing and Xiaoli away first, and Chen Huai read some information. At seven o'clock, Yang Haipeng called and then packed up and left the government compound. He walked north from the alley connected to Meixi Middle School to the east of the government building.
The town government, Meixi Middle School, and the cultural station building stands from south to north on the east side of Xuetang Street. Then to the east, there is a residential area with flat tiled houses overlapping, with a narrow alley in the middle.
There are no street lights in the alley, only the light from the house next to it, making the alley dim and unclear.
To the north of the Cultural Station building is the Tongtang River, a tributary of the Meixi River through the town.
The Cultural Station Building is split into two, and the Guizhuxi Hotel is located on the street. Entering from the vestibule, it is the lobby of the town cultural station. There is also a small street facing the river to the north. The guest room is facing north, facing Tongtang River.
The Cultural Station Building is surrounded by the street and the river, and the location is very good, but in recent years, the Meixi River and Tongtang River have been seriously polluted. You can smell a very heavy mud smell when you get close.
Before, He Yuelian contracted a reception station and paid for it to erect a few street lights by the river to connect with the distribution box of the reception station. From the Tanghe Bridge, He Yuelian spent money to sort out the inner street along the river, and also used lawn bricks to lay out several parking spaces - Chen Huai touched his chin. From these points, He Yuelian still had some business mind.
However, under the street lights, the dark river water was filled with white foam. It should be that the printing and dyeing factory in the upstream direction was draining wastewater. Chen Huai had nothing to say about these for the time being, and some things could only be done step by step.
Even in Meixi Steel Factory, the chimneys of the old factory are still emitting black smoke all day long, and thick smoke balls of yellow are coming out from time to time. He has to delay until the New Year, so the steel factory finances can have a set of dust removal and sulfur removal equipment. He still has to keep the job of 900 people in the factory first...
The private room was arranged on the third floor. Chen Huai touched the stairs from the side door. He saw Chen Dan standing there waiting for him at the corner of the stairs. He was shocked and said, "I didn't say a word, I thought I was calling you to catch me..."
"When you are your thief, who has the intention to catch you?"
Chen Dan glanced at him, and when he walked up, he said:
"Mayor He, Secretary Du and several deputy secretary, the deputy mayor did not come, but they all asked Guo Quan and Huang Xinliang to bring gifts. Huang Xinliang invited a table of wine on the second floor, saying that it was the end of the Comprehensive Management Office, and took Guo Quan over to have a drink. Director Qian of the steel mill, Director Wang, Director Chen of the weaving and dyeing factory, Director Chu of the blanket factory, Secretary Zhou of the water factory, Director Zhao of the water factory, He Yuelian, and Sun Guangwu brought Sun Yuangui's gifts. I can't remember too much, it's not a small number. They came over and stuffed the gifts directly to the front desk. Many people turned around and left, and they couldn't even refuse. I asked the accountant to write down the gifts, what do you think should I do..."
Chen Dan was caught off guard by the sudden gifts from so many people today, and handed the gift list in his hand to Chen Huai with a look of embarrassment.
Chen Huai was next to the stairs and looked through the gift list. There were several particularly large numbers:
In addition to sending flower baskets and banners, He Yuelian also gave 4,000 yuan in cash; Sun Guangwu gave 2,000 yuan and brought Sun Yuangui with 2,000 yuan in gifts; Du Jian and He Qingshe were all one thousand; Chen Shizhong, who contracted the yarn mill, gave 2,000 yuan; Chu Wenming, who contracted the blanket factory, - his son is Xiao Chu from the town - also gave 4,000 yuan in a generous manner...
Chen Huai went to Meixi Town, and almost no one on the list of people who remembered the names and faces of people in the town was left behind. Zhou Ming and Xiong Daini gave two thousand yuan; Zhao Dong and Xiao Mingxia calculated one, and brought an extra gift of 1,000 yuan for Xiao Mingxia's parents.
"Yang Haipeng brought an envelope with 20,000 yuan in it," Chen Dan couldn't help but want to act coquettishly in front of Shen Huai, "There are still many things in the hotel. I will have to refund the gifts one by one tomorrow. It's all my hardship."
She has always been dating Chen Huai carefully, without much expectation, enjoying such a life, and does not want to put too deep Chen Huai mark on her life.
Chen Dan thought that his relationship with Chen Huai had not fallen into the eyes of others, but when he looked at this gift list, he knew that he had deceived himself in the past. Meixi Town was just a little bigger, and if there was any disturbance, the news spread all over the place. However, everyone didn't say anything on the surface. He had no chance to please Chen Huai in the past, and he would not let go of such an opportunity.
"No need to be so troublesome," said Chen Huai, "If you return them one by one and don't accept a penny of gifts, will you still expect them to introduce their business to the hotel in the future? Let's do this, He Qingshe and Du Jian's gifts are returned. They are leaders and they must return them according to the rules. Sun Yuangui and Sun Guangwu, you feel so disgusted that you accept them, and you will also return them. Others, if you have less than 200 gifts, you will receive them, and if you have more than 200 gifts, you will receive two hundred, and the rest will be returned..."
On the gift list, most people gave 200 yuan, including the gift brought by Xiong Wenbin to his younger daughter Xiong Dailing. However, even if the gift of 200 yuan was a very heavy gift in Donghua in 1993.
"I don't want to thank you for the wine, so how can I receive the gift? Besides, this will not have a good impact on you..." Chen Dan said in a low voice.
She no longer wants to separate her relationship with Chen Huai. Just like He Yuelian contracted the reception station, in addition to the public funds from the town and the steel mill, the cadres and several contractors in the town had to consider whether they could withstand Du Jian's face and shoes if they did not treat them at the reception station. She took over the management of this hotel and knew that some things could not be completely innocent.
"The country is nothing more than a personal favor society," Chen Huai said helplessly, "I don't know how to be a corrupt official, but I don't want to be a honest official. If you want to do anything in China, you have to obey this kind of favor society. Sometimes it's also a matter of peace of mind. If you accept the gifts and remember to return the gifts in the future."
Chen Huai said, looking up and seeing Chen Dan was still feeling uneasy, he patted her butt that was wrapped tightly in the cheongsam, "You should still feel uneasy. In two days, you will send the gift you received to the Education Office, which means that the company sponsors the town to run a school..."
"You have no rules when you say things." Chen Dan said coquettishly, twisting his body, trying to shake off the magic hand that Chen Huai had placed on her buttocks.
"Does anyone say that your clothes are so beautiful today?" Chen Huai stood up, hugged her waist, and gently kissed her soft lips, "You give Yang Haipeng's 20,000 yuan, I'll give it to him, so as not to be a human being..."
"I'm just in trouble, just thinking about you coming back to him." Chen Dan smelled the faint smell of tobacco on Chen Huai's body, and was a little intoxicated. He took out a large envelope from his handbag and handed it to Chen Huai.
"This kid." Chen Huai shook his head and smiled. He took the envelope and was really suppressed. He grabbed Chen Dan's erect buttocks like a lustful person, and then joked, "I can only pinch this butt in the future; if anyone else pinchs, whoever pinches will chop the hands." He asked her to go and go directly to Yang Haipeng, Zhao Dong and the others.
Chen Dan glared at Chen Huai in shame and annoyed, but had no choice but to deal with him.
After entering the private room, Zhao Dong, Xiao Mingxia, Zhou Ming, Xiong Daini, Xiong Dailing, Qian Wenhui, Shao Zheng and his wife, Deputy Director Wang Kangsheng and his lover, Xu Xiting, Zhao Haipeng and his wife, etc.
Most of the people who gave gifts today turned around and left after giving gifts; those who stayed there were extra banquets to help Zhuxi hotels to help them maintain the scene; changing the hotel’s shop signs and ribbons were just a ceremony, and they were still open normally. There were more than a dozen tables in the big banquet hall downstairs to hold a birthday party.
Looking at Wang Kangsheng sitting beside Yang Haipeng, Chen Huai smiled and said, "Give me a seat and let me sit with Haipeng; Old Wang, you can't ask this kid to drink a few more glasses of wine, you have to let me do it..."
Wang Kangsheng moved one seat in turn and gave the seat beside Yang Haipeng to Chen Huai.
After Chen Huai sat down, he took Yang Haipeng down the crocodile briefcase and stuffed the envelope in. When the incident had not happened, he picked up the wine glass and asked Xiong Daini to fill the glass in front of him, saying, "Today's table is Boss Yang's treat? Then everyone should drink more wine and ask him to arrange a car to take everyone back at night..."
Of course, Yang Haipeng knew that the envelope that Chen Huaisai came back was a gift from him, but it was not easy to take out the envelope and stuff it to Chen Huai in front of a table of people.
Penghai Trade has six partners, plus credit union loans, and has raised five million in start-up capital.
Yang Haipeng did not kindly share the loan resources with other partners, but instead directly attributed the three million credit union loan to him, but then distributed shares with the investment funds of other partners.
In this way, Yang Haipeng occupied 60% of Penghai Trade's shares; with a loan of 500,000 yuan, which was counted on Xiong Dailing's head, Xiong Dailing occupied 10% of Penghai Trade's shares, and the remaining 30% of the shares were divided among the other five partners.
These small actions are still somewhat illegal; however, Chen Huai turned a blind eye.
Chen Huai decided to reduce the level of the steel distribution system, support distributors such as Haipeng Trading to directly cover the building materials markets in counties and cities around Donghua, and also sent all the employees of the steel mill marketing department to cooperate with distributors to explore the market, ensuring that profits are not diluted to the distribution system at too many levels.
In this way, even if Penghai Trade gets goods from steel mills, it is three or five points higher than the previous Wanhu Trade, but because the market is made fine enough, the actual profit margin is not low.
This month, Penghai Trade has made a full trade volume of 5 million, and the profit that can be taken out will not be less than 300,000. This is something that Yang Haipeng dared not even dream of in his dream two months ago.
Yang Haipeng knew in his heart:
Chen Huai nodded and agreed to be a distributor of Meixi Iron and Steel Plant.
He was able to attract several partners to borrow Chen Huai's reputation.
He was able to lend three million yuan from the credit union to expand the trade volume at once, which was also facilitated by Chen Huai. Meixi Town Credit Union only had 20 to 30 million yuan a year. Without Chen Huai and the steel mills, no matter who has a great face, it would be difficult for anyone to borrow three million directly from the credit union?
Yang Haipeng knew in his heart that Chen Huai did not help him so much. He was guarding the small building materials store, and he didn't even count in Donghua. Even if Chen Huai reached out to leave half of his profit, Yang Haipeng felt that he couldn't say anything.
So, when Chen Huai stuffed the envelope back, Yang Haipeng couldn't figure it out for a moment. Should Chen Huai refuse to accept a penny, or do he think that 20,000 yuan is too small?
Yang Haipeng's nervous thoughts were unfamiliar to everyone else on the table.
