"Min, your phone." Zou Hua, who shared an office with Lu Weimin, was the secretary of the county party committee deputy secretary Qin Haiji. He was about five or six years older than Lu Weimin and graduated from Liyang Teachers College, the same school as Guo Huaizhang. However, he did not get a direct assignment to the county but was transferred from the Nantan County Education Bureau office. Before Qin Haiji became the county party committee deputy secretary, he was the vice-county magistrate and the education bureau director. It was probably due to this connection that Zou Hua was transferred from the county education bureau to the county party committee office.
"Thanks, Brother Zou." Lu Weimin smiled and nodded, taking the phone.
"Big Min, it's done!" As soon as he put the phone to his ear, he heard Xiao Jinfeng's ecstatic and excited voice.
"Oh? How's the situation?" Lu Weimin's heart also filled with joy, but he tried to control his emotions. Although he was confident of success, it was a long distance from Nantan to Guangzhou, and there could be unexpected events, such as traffic jams or accidents, or even a last-minute cancellation. Fortunately, none of these bad scenarios happened.
"I've already received the money, 48,000 yuan. After deducting transportation, handling fees, and costs, I calculated that we can make at least 11,000 yuan!" Xiao Jinfeng's voice trembled with excitement, clearly overwhelmed by the huge stimulation.
"Great, be careful." Lu Weimin took a deep breath, trying to make his tone as calm and natural as possible. "How long do you plan to stay there?"
"Big Min, the situation is excellent. Fortunately, I got a border pass. I went to Shenzhen, which is where your classmate is from. I know more people there, and I've already secured two more deals. Plus, they liked the goods in Guangzhou, and the market is good, so they agreed to another 18,000 kilograms. I plan to return immediately and make another trip to Shenzhen, totaling five trucks and 30,000 kilograms." Xiao Jinfeng, in a state of extreme excitement, was almost out of breath. "They even gave me the deposit."
"Alright, get back as soon as possible and take care on the road. I'll arrange things here for you, but it will be tough work." Although Zou Hua wasn't paying much attention, Lu Weimin didn't want to discuss it further. This was a matter of impression. Although the nationwide call to dive into business was strong, and a wave of resignations to start businesses was sweeping the country, this trend was not popular in the relatively closed and conservative inland area of Nantan.
"Hehe, Big Min, no matter how hard it is, it's worth it. I'm afraid of having nothing to do. I enjoy this kind of life, even if it's every day, I would be happy to do it." Xiao Jinfeng's voice was filled with happiness and gratitude.
Seeing Lu Weimin put down the phone, Zou Hua raised his gaze. "Weimin, you did a great job this time. Everyone in the county is talking about you, saying that Secretary Shen chose a good secretary."
"Brother Zou, don't say that. I just played a role in facilitating things. The final decision was made by Secretary Shen and Director Zhou. We also happened to catch the right timing. With the Asian Games, the whole country is paying attention, and anything related to the Asian Games gets a lot of attention, so we just benefited from that." Lu Weimin shook his head. "It's not as complicated as you think."
Zou Hua looked at this seemingly calm guy with some envy. He had to admit that this guy was very composed. Even the usually steady and cautious Zhou Yuming was extremely excited by this matter and was now focusing all his energy on the agricultural development company. The people from the commerce bureau, seeing the profit, immediately sent four or five people to help. Only this guy seemed to take it in stride and returned to his duties.
"Director Zhou is so busy now, Weimin, why don't you go and help?"
"Hehe, Brother Zou, I'm from the county party committee office. The initial sales promotion group was set up to open up the market. Now that the agricultural development company is established and the market is smooth, it's their routine business. The commerce bureau has also sent a few people. There are enough people, and Director Zhou, who is also the manager of the agricultural development company, naturally needs to focus on that side. I'll just return to my regular work at the county party committee office." Lu Weimin smiled.
"Director Zhou is really busy now. I heard that this company helps sell kiwifruit from Huai and Nantan, and they charge a management fee?" Zou Hua was also very interested in the operation model of this modern agricultural development company, which was said to be set up by Lu Weimin. He wasn't sure if it was his own interest or if his boss, Deputy Secretary Qin Haiji, was interested.
"It's not a management fee. In my view, we buy at a certain price, package and brand it, and sell it through our channels. We also bear the risk. This is a normal profit margin, and according to market economy rules, it's quite normal." Lu Weimin patiently explained. This concept was still hard for people to accept and required a process. Many people in Huai and Futou counties were complaining about the profit margin, but Nantan was more than happy to accept it.
"Hehe, Weimin, it seems that your time in Lingnan has broadened your horizons. We here couldn't come up with such ideas." Zou Hua's words were not without flattery, but they were true.
"Brother Zou, don't praise me. I just had an idea. The final decision was made by the county leaders, and the specific operations were handled by Director Zhou and his team. I didn't help much." Lu Weimin shook his head.
"Weimin, you're really modest. If you do well, it's just that. There's no need to hide it; everyone can see and hear it." Zou Hua laughed. His boss, Qin Haiji, didn't like Shen Zilie, and by extension, had some reservations about Lu Weimin. However, he found Lu Weimin easy to get along with, and they got along well in the office. But due to his boss's attitude, he didn't dare to show his true feelings in front of his boss and outsiders. Only when they were alone could he speak freely.
Xu Xiaochun, who happened to be passing by the office, stood at the door and listened to their conversation without showing any emotion. He nodded imperceptibly.
This Lu Weimin is quite sensible, unlike some people who get arrogant after achieving a little success.
He has only been here for a little over a month, but he has already made such a big impact. It can't be denied that this guy has some ability. Shen Zilie seems to appreciate him, and he has also praised my judgment.
Xu Xiaochun smiled subconsciously. His unintentional action has created a capable person. Maybe some people are just naturally talented.
