Manufacturing Empire in the Valley

Chapter 512 Emperor Green Bracelet
At 06:30, Niu Xiaoqiang walked into the only private room of this small restaurant carrying cigarettes and alcohol.

Zhou Hongbao was sitting inside smoking a cigarette, when he saw Niu Xiaoqiang coming in, he hurriedly got up to say hello: "Xiaoqiang, we haven't seen each other for a while, you look more and more calm and capable."

While speaking, he saw the gift in Niu Xiaoqiang's hand, immediately curled his lips, and scolded: "Look at you, just come, why did you bring so many things? We need to do this set?"

Niu Xiaoqiang smiled and put the cigarettes and alcohol beside Zhou Hongbao: "Uncle Zhou, this is not a bribe, the second is reciprocity, don't think too much about it."

The Chinese are always courteous, and Zhou Hongbao didn’t show any pretense, and accepted the gift with a nod: “Since it’s courteous, I have to show it, this is a New Year’s gift I prepared for you, and you can’t refuse it either. "

He smiled and handed the gift he had prepared to Niu Xiaoqiang. Niu Xiaoqiang opened the gift box curiously and found a pair of emerald green bracelets inside.

Although Niu Xiaoqiang has no research on jade, he has seen several jade carvings in Chen Tianhou's private collection.

The color of those jade carvings is also emerald green, exactly the same color as the pair of jade bracelets in front of them.Niu Xiaoqiang dared to confirm that the jade carvings in Chen Tianhou's private collection were real things, and if he chose one or the other, the pair of jade bracelets in front of him must also be real things.

Sure enough, Zhou Hongbao explained with a smile: "I bought this at a roadside stand when I was on a business trip last time. It only cost more than a dozen yuan. Although the price is not high, it is the real thing. The seller got it right. I didn't realize that this pair of jade bracelets was made of imperial green. Instead, I thought the color was too bright and thought they were fakes. That's why I sold them at such a low price. Otherwise, where would I have a chance to pick up a bargain? Don't be like him. .”

You can tell the grade of Emperor Green in jade just by the name, Niu Xiaoqiang was taken aback: "Uncle Zhou, how can you give such an expensive gift casually? Let's keep it for Auntie to wear."

He said so, but he thought to himself: Since Zhou Hongbao gave me such an expensive gift, it shouldn't be so simple, right?

Zhou Hongbao confirmed Niu Xiaoqiang's guess with practical actions. He sighed: "To be honest, uncle has something to ask you. The gift is too light, so I am too embarrassed to say so."

Niu Xiaoqiang happened to have something to ask him, and it was not easy to accept such a valuable thing, so he pushed the box containing the jade bracelet in front of Zhou Hongbao, and said with a smile: "Uncle Zhou, you just said that our relationship is not ordinary, Since that's the case, don't make it so clichéd, you take back the things, and I will help if I can, and I promise there will be no second words."

Zhou Zhongbao resolutely put the box into Niu Xiaoqiang's hands: "Xiaoqiang, this pair of jade bracelets is not only my heart, but also my congratulatory gift. You will always get married in the future, right? I will give them to you in advance, so I will Think of it as an early wedding gift for you."

Niu Xiaoqiang wanted to return the box to Zhou Hongbao, but Zhou Hongbao hurriedly dissuaded him: "Jade bracelets are fragile, if you keep pushing them around like this, what if they fall to the ground and break? You should take them quickly, lest they really fall. If it is broken, it will be too bad for the scenery.”

Niu Xiaoqiang smiled wryly and said: "Okay, I will accept this heavy gift, tell me, what exactly do I need to do?"

It was not the first time that Zhou Hongbao and Niu Xiaoqiang met, and the relationship between the two parties was very familiar, so he did not hide it, and said truthfully: "The current factory director of Qingjiang Petrochemical Machinery has reached the age, and it is estimated that in a few months, he will be the director of the factory." I am going to retire. I know that you have an extraordinary relationship with Secretary Zhang. I want you to speak for me. Although he is not working in Qingjiang Petrochemical Machinery now, he has a lot of influence. As long as he strongly recommends me, I will succeed in taking over as the factory director. The opportunity will be very great, how about it, are you willing to help with this favor?"

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded immediately without any hesitation: "Of course there is no problem with this, but I have a question to ask you. You were promoted from the position of secretary to the deputy director of the factory half a year ago, and you want to be promoted to the director of the factory so soon. Don't you have any ideas?"

Zhou Hongbao smiled and shook his head: "Our petroleum system is different from other companies. In addition to qualifications, we pay more attention to ability. Especially in China, young and educated cadres are being vigorously advocated. My age and diploma are just right. Catch up, so what you're worried about doesn't exist."

Niu Xiaoqiang was relieved: "Well, I will call Secretary Zhang tomorrow and tell him about your affairs, but I can't guarantee that he will help you. If you fail, you can't complain me."

Zhou Zhongbao waved his hand: "I'm not the kind of person who doesn't understand things. Things in the world are not guaranteed to be successful. As long as you help me say a few words, I don't have a single complaint whether it ends up being successful or not. "

Niu Xiaoqiang chuckled: "That's good, Uncle Zhou, I came to the city today to ask you for something, and please help my little brother."

Zhou Hongbao looked very straightforward, and immediately nodded: "You can tell me anything, as long as I can do it, I will definitely try my best to do it."

Niu Xiaoqiang talked about the order, and Zhou Hongbao immediately made a decision: "This matter happens to be within my jurisdiction. After I go back, I will ask someone to count the orders. From now on, all orders for mechanical processing will be handed over to your Asian Machinery Factory. Do."

Niu Xiaoqiang thanked him, and then chatted with Zhou Hongbao while eating.After drinking and eating, it was already 08:30 in the evening. Zhou Hongbao originally wanted to take Niu Xiaoqiang to the dance hall for entertainment, but Niu Xiaoqiang was not interested in singing and dancing halls at all, so he firmly disagreed. Zhou Hongbao had to let his driver Send Niu Xiaoqiang back to the villa.

Niu Xiaoqiang saw that Zhou Hongbao was so interesting, and felt that he could not delay the other party's affairs for too long.After he got off the car, he went to the canteen and called Zhang Guangmao's home phone number.

It's the end of the year, Zhang Guangmao, as the leader of Jiangbei Oilfield, has a lot of things to do, he has been busy until now and just returned home.

Niu Xiaoqiang had a relatively close relationship with Zhang Guangmao, and he didn't hide it. After exchanging pleasantries with Zhang Guangmao, he told about Zhou Hongbao.

Zhang Guangmao is still very clear about Zhou Hongbao's ability, and said that he can help recommend Zhou Hongbao as the factory director.Niu Xiaoqiang expressed his gratitude very happily, and then Zhang Guangmao changed the subject and talked about his daughter: "Xiaoqiang, has Xiaolan written to you recently?"

Niu Xiaoqiang replied truthfully: "Not only has she not written to me recently, she has not written to me since she went abroad to study. Uncle Zhang, is Xiaolan in any trouble?"
