November 9th, the weekend, was a happy but somewhat troubled day for the students.
Just this morning, an announcement from the Chinese government stirred the heartbeat of the entire country. The 4 trillion plan to stimulate domestic demand was finally announced.
At the same time, announcements were issued across the country announcing a new round of development plans, each one larger in scale than the last. For a time, the bosses of major companies cheered.
¡°Boss, some steel suppliers in the association want to increase raw material prices.¡±
Early in the morning, Wu Chen, who was sleeping with his beauty in his arms, received a call from Chen Jiayao. The content was a bit beyond his expectation, but it was also within his prediction: "I'll be right over."
After kissing the girl who had just woken up, Wu Chen put on his clothes and washed up casually before driving to the Pearl Tower.
"Boss, several directors and seven steel suppliers are already in the conference room." When the boy came out of the elevator, Chen Jiayao, who had been waiting there, came up to him and reported the situation.
"Well, how many suppliers are there?"
"Except for Hangcheng Iron and Steel Group and Hepingjiang Iron and Steel Group, the other five steel companies have requested to increase steel supply prices, and some other material suppliers have not proposed price increases."
"Very good." Unexpectedly, Wu Chen was surprised that the two largest steel suppliers in the association did not increase their prices. This would make it much easier, and the prepared means could be hidden.
"President."
Seeing Wu Chen come in, more than ten people sitting in the conference room stood up and shouted respectfully.
"Everyone, please sit down. I believe everyone knows the content of today's meeting. I won't talk nonsense. Mr. Wei, tell me the reason for your price increase?" Wu Chen asked directly without any polite words. It is the largest of several private steel suppliers.
"President, actually we have no choice. The price of raw materials has increased, so we can only raise the price, otherwise we will suffer serious losses. Not as good as Hangzhou Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. and Ping An Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. We are small businesses and cannot withstand the hardships. "As the representative, Wei Feng, chairman of Chengfeng Steel Co., Ltd., complained, for the huge benefits. He could only face the wind.
"I understand your difficulties. Tell me, how much do you want to increase your salary?" He pressed his eyebrows. Wu Chen asked casually.
"Thirty percent." Wei Feng tentatively came up with a compromise price. Their original bottom line was 10%, which would be a profit of hundreds of millions.
"Oh, do you all think so?" After hearing Wei Feng's huge appetite, Wu Chen showed a smile. He didn't expect that they would really dare to ask for it.
"Yes." Facing such a young chairman, several other steel company bosses were a little inexplicably nervous. It was really that this chairman was too mysterious. But it was related to their own interests, so they couldn't help but nodded, under such circumstances anyway. It is inevitable that steel prices will rise sharply. Even if it is not provided to the projects in the association, there are many other people who want it.
"Mr. Lu, Mr. Mo, I wonder if you can provide all the project needs of the association with the production capacity of your two groups?" Without answering Wei Feng's suggestion, Wu Chen turned to ask the two state-owned enterprise CEOs present.
"Yes." Lu Hong and Mo Shengqiang looked at each other and nodded affirmatively. Their two groups had extremely overcapacity, and shutdowns and inventory had made their hair gray.
"Well, starting from today, all the steel materials for all the association's projects will be provided by your two companies."
"President, what do you mean?" After hearing Wu Chen's decision, Wei Feng and the others immediately became anxious. They just wanted to increase the price, but they didn't expect to be kicked out immediately.
"I think you should know the rules of the association, so I want to tell you that you have been removed from the association."
Regarding the trend of steel prices, Wu Chen knew very well. Who told his family to build a house in 2009 in his previous life, but the prices of those steels did not rise at all, but fell all the way. After experiencing the crazy price increase and the impact of the economic crisis in early 2008, the price of steel has been in the doldrums. Even if the government stimulates strong domestic demand, it cannot drive the general trend. The long-standing weakness cannot be revived with a strong dose of medicine.
And when steel prices were at their craziest in early 2008, several steel companies did not ask for price increases. Instead, they made such exaggerated demands because of a small announcement. It was like a lion opening its mouth. You must know that the price of steel purchased by the association has always been extremely stable, allowing suppliers to make profits even when steel prices are extremely high. And with the current low steel prices in the market, the steel suppliers in the association should make a lot of money. , but especially not satisfied. Since the people behind them wanted this result, Wu Chen gave them what they wanted.
"President, we are just telling youMeasure it. "Hearing such a result, Wei Feng and others were stunned for a moment. If it is not necessary, they do not want to lose a platform like the Hong Kong Real Estate Association, which accounts for more than half of their company's demand.
"I think you should join the Central Plains Real Estate Association. I think our Hong Kong Real Estate Association platform can no longer accommodate you." There was no nonsense at all. Wu Chen directly stated their purpose. Since they want to force the palace, they must do a good job. Ground preparation.
"Well, if the president insists so much, we have no choice but to withdraw from the association." With the young master's promise, Wei Feng and others are also very stubborn.
"Jia Yao, return the deposits of several bosses to them." Wu Chen has no regrets about the departure of several steel suppliers. Now the Hong Kong Real Estate Association has a big business and is no longer as thirsty for talents as it was before. .
After the five CEOs exited the conference room, Wu Chen said to everyone present: "The association has been established for more than a year, and several directors have worked hard. I propose that Mr. Lu and Mr. Mo join as permanent directors."
"I agree."
"I agree."
¡¡
None of the directors had any objections to Wu Chen¡¯s decision. With the strength of the two steel groups, he is fully qualified to become a permanent director, not to mention that all steel materials for the association¡¯s projects in the future will be provided by the two steel groups.
"I didn't expect to be promoted to the permanent director. Although they didn't have much power, both Lu Hong and Mo Shengqiang showed a hint of joy in their eyes, but no one noticed that Lu Hong's smile had a different meaning.
After talking about the future development of the association, Wu Chen left. He just took this opportunity to show his face and show his presence.
On the 9th, the domestic demand plan introduced by the national government still stimulated the members of the Hong Kong Real Estate Association. Twenty-five real estate companies successively applied to withdraw, accounting for 40% of the association. Under Wu Chen's instruction, Chen Jiayao agreed to their withdrawal and immediately returned the deposits of each company. Her straightforward attitude disappointed a few people in the dark who wanted to watch the show.
Regarding the projects that the members who had withdrawn from the association were responsible for, Wu Chen asked several permanent directors to take over all the projects. Yan Nan and others were happy when they were sleeping, but their engineering team had a lot of idle time. Especially for Huicheng Real Estate Company, the completion of several large projects has left many engineering teams idle, and now they have a place to put them to use.
The Hong Kong Real Estate Association is just an insignificant side project for Wu Chen. It is a stage for him to repay the society. He is only a little disappointed that so many members have withdrawn, nothing more.
Early in the morning on the 10th, students from Wu Chen¡¯s class gathered at the school gate. Starting today, they will all have a seven-week internship.
Wu Chen and Wang Chaolu were naturally assigned to a group. Also in the same group were Li Yan, He Mingxia, Wang Jindi, Zheng Fei, Zheng Lijun, Xu Jianjun, Yang Jun, and Ye Bin. A group of ten people went to Huanshui City No. 2 Middle School for internship and led the team The teacher is Chen Baolin.
Except for Wang Chaolu¡¯s change, the rest of the people are basically consistent with Wu Chen¡¯s memories of his previous life, without any deviation. Without the push from his golden finger, history would still be marching along its original track.
Since the internship lasted a long time, the big bags distributed by the school at the beginning of the semester finally came into use. All the daily necessities were stuffed into them. Everyone's bags looked bulging, and the girls even carried big and small bags. With.
As soon as Wu Chen put his luggage on the truck, he drove there with a few beauties, while Chen Baolin followed behind in her own Volkswagen.
Huanshui City No. 2 Middle School is considered to be an average junior high school in Huanshui City, with average facilities. Wu Chen knew that the teachers¡¯ dormitory assigned to them was not very good. It was the original student dormitory, with rooms for ten people, just for them. The student teachers live in a more spacious dormitory, which is much worse than their dormitory at the University of Hong Kong. He didn't want to make anything special, so Wu Chen, who had known the allocation plan for a long time, didn't rent a house in advance, just thinking about the hardships and sweet things.
Wu Chen¡¯s Audi and Chen Baolin¡¯s Volkswagen arrived at Huanshui No. 2 Middle School first. Before they had time to take a look at the campus, the minibus behind them arrived.
The principal of Huanshui No. 2 Middle School came up with several teachers. Everyone held a small meeting. Dean Si, who came to negotiate, introduced the names of the students one by one. Principal Yang of the No. 2 Middle School welcomed them on behalf of the teachers and students of the No. 2 Middle School, and asked the director of the Academic Affairs Office to take Wu Chen and the others to the dormitory to have a rest. After settling in, they would discuss the specific arrangements.
"This environment is really nice. It makes me miss the dormitory on the old campus a little bit."
"Yes, there is unlimited internet here."
"Well, these faucets are just for washing clothes."
¡°There are also many bathrooms here.¡±
¡°It¡¯s also very close to the classroom.¡±
¡¡
After seeing the dormitories assigned to them, the boys immediately found the bright spots, and the girls, who were a little depressed, also became active. Having fun while suffering is the best attitude towards life. Besides, they are here for internships, not for enjoyment. .
After everyone settled down, Dean Si rushed to the next school without stopping, while Wu Chen and his classmates started to tidy up the room.
After cleaning up, the dormitory that had been cleaned by the school had a new look. Chen Baolin also came over with ten meal cards and room keys and distributed them to the students one by one. (To be continued: Piaotian. Registered literature members recommend this work.
