Qinchuan City Administration for Industry and Commerce.

Zhou Wen, who received the call, was all smiles: "You kid, work hard under Director Lu, and don't let Director Lu's cultivation go to waste."

"Don't worry, Uncle, I will always think ahead of Director Lu in everything," Zhou Cun said solemnly.

"Be diligent with your hands, feet, and mouth, and be polite to the other workers as well."

Zhou Wen reminded him; he could see that Julong Steel was still in a growth phase.

As long as his nephew did a good job now, when Julong Steel expanded significantly in the future, or even established branches, there would certainly be an executive position for his nephew.

"My relationship with the other colleagues is great; I will never make you lose face."

"It's not about winning face for me, but about securing a future for yourself. Your uncle can't be a bureau chief forever."

Among the younger generation of the Zhou family, only Zhou Cun had any real promise.

Once he retired, he might even need to rely on Zhou Cun to help take care of things.

Zhou Cun nodded heavily and then asked: "Tomorrow, President Wang from Nifeng Express is coming over. Will it be okay if you only send Section Chief Huang Liang to accompany him?"

"That kid Huang Liang is just as sharp as you. Wang Jiawei is just visiting Julong Steel, not planning to build a logistics base in Qinchuan. Huang Liang carries enough weight."

Zhou Cun thought about it and realized it was true. His uncle was, after all, the number one figure in Qinchuan's business and industry circles, and Wang Jiawei was merely visiting.

"You need to take good care of Mu Guchan and Bai Xiaoying. The two of them represent the municipal TV station and self-media respectively, and their influence is not weak."

"Use Wang Jiawei's inspection as an opportunity to promote things well; it might just make the longmao agricultural vehicle a hit."

Having received guidance from his uncle, Zhou Cun called the two media figures.

Bai Xiaoying naturally accepted the invitation enthusiastically, while Mu Guchan politely declined, excusing herself by saying the municipal TV station had other arrangements.

Lu Shenwei, upon learning of the situation, chuckled: "It's fine if Miss Bai comes; I don't expect the municipal TV station to show up."

The next day, Wang Zizhong rushed to find Lu Shenwei in a hurry.

"Chairman, I've poached a passenger vehicle technical team, but their asking price is too high."

Lu Shenwei frowned: "How much do they want?"

"Their team has forty or fifty people, and the minimum monthly salary is no less than 15,000," Wang Zizhong thought for a moment.

Lu Shenwei laughed: "Uncle Wang, do you know what the lowest monthly salary is for our factory's regular employees now?"

Wang Zizhong shook his head. Lu Shenwei suddenly remembered the annual salary Wang Zizhong was receiving and realized he naturally wouldn't know the treatment of the workers under him.

"The average monthly salary for entry-level workers is 16,000, and the minimum is 12,000. They are only asking for 15,000; that's not high."

Wang Zizhong's eyes widened: "What did you say? The workers' minimum monthly salary is already 12,000?"

"The base salary for the longmao agricultural vehicle team should be even higher, so if you think that team is suitable, poach the whole lot for us."

Lu Shenwei wasn't afraid of having too many debts now; he had already spent two or three hundred million, so he didn't care about spending a few hundred thousand more each month.

"Alright then, I'll contact them now," Wang Zizhong said happily.

"Also, tomorrow Wang Jiawei from Nifeng Express is coming. You are responsible for promoting the longmao agricultural vehicle."

"Me? Will that work? Maybe let Zhou Cun do it; that kid has better eloquence."

"Zhou Cun? That works too."

Wang Zizhong could see that Lu Shenwei intended to groom Zhou Cun, so he naturally followed the leader's wishes.

After some preparations at Julong Steel, Wang Jiawei arrived late the next afternoon.

"Director Lu, you've made this too grand."

Wang Jiawei looked at the various leaders welcoming him in front of the Julong Steel Factory gate, feeling quite surprised. Was it really necessary to make such a big fuss?

Bai Xiaoying pointed her phone at Wang Jiawei, and the fans in the live stream immediately perked up.

【Holy crap! Wang Jiawei! One of Dragon Xia's most mysterious billionaires.】

【Is Julong Steel going to cooperate with Nifeng Express? Make it big and strong, and create new brilliance!】

【Brother above, do you want me to get you a shotgun?】

【Before, Nifeng Express seemed to have purchased a batch of Dragon Xia drones, heard it was for transport.】

【That didn't work out, the Air Traffic Control Bureau didn't seem to approve the flight paths, so it fell through.】

"President Wang, long time no see. Let's talk as we walk."

Lu Shenwei shook hands firmly with Wang Jiawei and ushered him into the factory.

"Don't I need to register?" Wang Jiawei asked curiously.

Lu Shenwei waved his hand: "We have already registered your and your assistant's information. As for the others, they can stay in the reception room and have some tea."

Wang Jiawei nodded. After entering the factory, Zhou Cun began to introduce the development of Julong Steel over the past two years.

After touring the Julong Steel and dragon eagle production lines, Wang Jiawei couldn't help but praise: "Director Lu, you manage things very well."

"It doesn't compare to your hundred-billion-dollar transport Group," Lu Shenwei said with a chuckle.

After some mutual commercial flattery, Wang Jiawei felt the time was ripe and prepared to state his purpose.

But then he heard Zhou Cun introduce: "This is our latest product, the longmao agricultural vehicle. It can travel 400 kilometers on 30 liters of gasoline, and it's great for both carrying people and cargo."

【30 liters of gasoline for 400 kilometers? This pretty boy can really brag!】

【Even the paper-skinned Three Big Moms from Japan wouldn't dare to brag like that. If it's true, it's invincible based on fuel consumption alone.】

Wang Jiawei heard this and pondered for a moment, then laughed: "Isn't this tailor-made for our company?"

Who in all of Dragon Xia doesn't know that, except for the Green Hat Brother, Nifeng is the leader in the express delivery industry.

Eight hundred thousand three-wheeled motorcycles almost account for half of Dragon Xia's express delivery industry. Things like the Shaolin Temple Abbot's Three-Pass-One-Reach or Crazy Rabbit are completely no match.

"President Wang is right. The longmao agricultural vehicle is especially suitable for small cargo transport," Zhou Cun added.

Wang Jiawei said casually: "If this little vehicle is truly suitable for deliveries, we can consider ordering a few thousand to try out."

"President Wang wants to order a few thousand?" Lu Shenwei suddenly interjected.

Before Wang Jiawei could react, Lu Shenwei confirmed again: "Zhou Cun, how many did President Wang just say he wanted to order?"

"Five thousand. That seems to be what President Wang said, right, Secretary Xiao Chen?"

【Holy crap, Director Lu is setting a trap for him.】

【Nifeng Express must have come to Julong Steel because they want something; you have to fall for this trap.】

【Is this what real business warfare is? Simple and unadorned? Pinching your nose and making you buy agricultural vehicles.】

Zhou Cun turned his head to look at Wang Jiawei's secretary, Xiao Chen, who looked completely bewildered.

What the hell? Who said we wanted to order your agricultural vehicles?

Isn't this forced buying and selling?

Secretary Xiao Chen was just about to retort when Wang Jiawei suddenly said: "Director Lu has hit the nail on the head. We'll order five thousand first to test the results. If this agricultural vehicle is truly suitable for deliveries, we will order more."

"President Wang is straightforward. Let's talk in the conference room," Lu Shenwei said with a chuckle.

The overt plot had succeeded. Sorry, Wang Jiawei, but I'll use Nifeng Express to help the longmao agricultural vehicle recover some capital first.

【This is too ridiculous, right? President Wang is just pinching his nose and accepting it?】

【I heard that agricultural vehicle costs 20,000 per unit. 5,000 units is a small target.】

【Oh my, I don't understand the world of big bosses.】

Both sides entered the conference room, and Bai Xiaoying took the opportunity to turn off the live stream.

【What's the situation? Is the rest paid content?】

【What follows is a trade secret; they wouldn't show you even if you paid.】

【Don't talk about us; even Xiao Ying's level isn't high enough to enter the conference room.】
