Chapter 1286 Cold Winter

Perhaps the farewell in autumn is destined to be particularly cold this winter.

Before we knew it, the winter of 2008 came, and even Jiangcheng had a heavy snowfall.

Zhang Xiaobai kept running between Tangcheng and Jiangcheng. The construction of Su's Electric online platform was at the end, and the offline warehousing and logistics were ready, just waiting for a thunder at the last moment.

At this time, Zhang Xiaobai was not in a hurry. According to the mysterious man, Yuan's Electrical Appliances was making slow progress and would have to wait until next year to complete it.

In this case, it is better to wait and give them a beating when they are about to finish. This is a very pleasant thing.

There are a lot of things going on here in Tangcheng. The Wulin 3D version of the game is progressing rapidly and has entered the inner stage. This project is particularly important to Treasure Chest Technology. As long as Zhang Xiaobai comes back, he will stay with the company for a long time.

Niu Yi and Niu Er played a very good guiding role, especially in the continuous improvement of details.

After the New Year, the game must be released.

There is not much for the brothers to travel. Various projects have been completed. Many farmhouses have been built in Pingshuiying and Wolong Village to solve the problem of food and accommodation for tourists. They can only wait for the opening of the spring next year.

Wei Wei's abilities gradually emerged, so much so that Ji Xiaorou wanted to give up her position, but the little witch refused to do anything, and Zhang Xiaobai didn't say anything. After all, Wei Wei was still young and needed more experience.

The most important thing here is to form a team, especially the security and service teams. Tourist attractions do not need to do anything, just serve tourists wholeheartedly.

Wei Wei once said that tourists are gods. As long as we provide good services to tourists, tourism will be successful.

Zhang Xiaobai recognized this point of view and basically handed over all the establishment work to Wei Wei, while he only played a certain guiding role.

At the end of December, Ling Ran retired from the army and came to Tangcheng.

Zhang Xiaobai happened to be here and came to pick him up in person. He didn't call Bai Lu, he just wanted to chat with him alone.

Ling Ran came to Tangcheng for the first time, looked at this prosperous city, and said with emotion: "It deserves to be a steel city."

Zhang Xiaobai sighed and said: "It was true before, but it is barely true now, but it probably won't be true in the future."

This winter is very cold, and the steel industry is even colder. Compared with September, steel prices have dropped by half, and looking at this momentum, there seems to be no end.

Ling Ran said: "I have come to Tangcheng to join you. Tell me, how will you arrange for me?"

Zhang Xiaobai asked: "What do you think?"

Ling Ran said: "I know that you have a deep connection here and that your business is not small. I also know your relationship with Bai Lu, but you can't be selfish. I have just entered the society and have no experience. I just want to start from the bottom one step at a time." "If it's a dragon, I can fly. If it's a worm, I can stay still."

I had heard Bai Lu tell too many stories about Zhang Xiaobai before, and always felt that those legends were like legends, but Ling Ran knew that Bai Lu could not lie to him.

Ling Ran could only admire Zhang Xiaobai.

Zhang Xiaobai was very satisfied with Ling Ran's words. He came to pick him up alone this time because he also wanted to ask him what he thought of his work.

Even now, Sister Bai Lu and Ling Ran are so good, Zhang Xiaobai is still a little worried and decides to test them again.

The more you care about someone, the more thoughts you have.

Zhang Xiaobai said: "Travel company, you and another retired brother are responsible for security!"

Ling Ran frowned and said, "Responsible? I'll take the lead?"

Zhang Xiaobai said: "He is the captain and you are the vice-captain!"

Liu Tieying is in Tangcheng and is now the captain of the security team. However, there are only a few security guards now and they will not be recruited on a large scale until next year.

Security work is very important. First of all, we must ensure the safety of tourists. On the other hand, we must protect the natural scenery and various facilities.

Ling Ran hesitated for a while and then said, "Come up here is the vice-captain. I'm afraid I won't do it right!"

Zhang Xiaobai said angrily: "People who have led soldiers can't do this well, what else can you do well?"

Ling Ran explained: "The military camp is definitely different from society. They all have their own rules. I want to start as an ordinary security guard."

Zhang Xiaobai said: "Stop talking, it would be hypocritical. This is what my sister meant."

Ling Ran nodded and said, "Okay, if she asks me to do it, I will do it!"

Zhang Xiaobai was silent for a while and said, "Ling Ran, do you know my relationship with my sister?"

Ling Ran said: "Understood, we are closer than biological siblings."

Zhang Xiaobai said solemnly: "I know that you have reached the stage of discussing marriage. Today I will say this. If you dare to treat my sister badly in the future, I will make it impossible for you to get better for the rest of your life!"

After a few threatening words, Ling Ran didn't get angry. He nodded lightly and said, "I don't like to swear. Things have to be done. Let's see in the future. If one day I really surrender to Bai Lu, what will happen to me?" Take your life!"

Zhang Xiaobai patted Ling Ran on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Good brother-in-law!"

This counts as official recognition.

Zhang Xiaobai sent Ling Ran directly to Bai Lu's house and said with a smile: "Sister, I brought your man back!"

Bai Lu ignored him and looked at Ling Ran with affectionate eyes, their eyes facing each other.

Zhang Xiaobai felt that he could no longer be a light bulb here, so he decisively walked out without forgetting to close the door.

When I got home, Wang Dalin happened to come over and had made an appointment before.

The two sat on the sofa, and Su Tong made two cups of tea, much like a good wife and mother.

Zhang Xiaobai smiled and said: "Can't help it anymore?"

The two had discussed that if the industry collapsed, they would buy Zhang Ruihua's steel plant at the bottom. Wang Dalin came in November, and Zhang Xiaobai said that the time was not right.

Wang Dalin looked very respectful, and he was like this every time he saw Zhang Xiaobai. He rubbed his hands and said, "Brother Bai, do you think it's time now?"

Zhang Xiaobai shook his head and said, "It's not the right time. No one knows where the bottom is. How can we buy at the bottom?"

Wang Dalin asked, "But if it rebounds, the opportunity will be missed."

Zhang Xiaobai said, "No, the steel industry has been hot for ten years. It is impossible to slow down so quickly, and the output of crude steel is still in excess. I have been thinking about this matter. I will tell you when the time comes!"

Wang Dalin said, "Okay, I will listen to Brother Bai in everything."

Wang Dalin would not believe anything others said, but he would believe anything Zhang Xiaobai said, just because he respected and admired this person.

The matter came to an end.

Facts have proved that Zhang Xiaobai's prediction is correct. After New Year's Day, steel prices continued to fall. Until this time, everyone in Tangcheng believed that the cold winter of the steel industry had really come.

Until this time, some people remembered Zhang Xiaobai's prediction that the good days would not last long.

Dengfeng Steel suffered relatively less losses because it was well prepared, while other steel mills suffered heavy losses. Some small mines and small concentrators had no choice but to stop production, and various industries dependent on the steel industry were affected to varying degrees.

Tangcheng's economy declined severely.

No one can escape the big trend.

In 2009, we spent it in this cold.
