Chapter 724: "Mine Slaves, Porters, and Pneumoconiosis"

Before the annual meeting of entrepreneurs, Xu Dong invited several close business friends to get together. Google search reading

These included Mike, George, Musk, the new president of the Nisang Chamber of Commerce, Ogi Cheese, CEO of "Meta World" Scully, Yang Shuo's father Yang Kanghui, and Mr. Wu of Xia Jian Group.

And Ye Hui and Yu Maolin who accompanied them.

Ma Lingling was the youngest, and she served as a waiter, responsible for serving tea and pouring water.

"Homegrown green tea, everyone, try it."

Xu Dong gestured with his hand.

Musk was not polite at all, he took the teacup and took a sip of tea, and then he said loudly:

"Good tea, can you give me 50 kilograms?"

"At most half a kilogram per person, do you think my family runs a tea garden?" Xu Dong waved his hand helplessly.

Yang's father asked curiously: "Old Xu, your family's yard is so big, it's a waste to leave it alone, you can build several large indoor farms."

"No need, just enough is enough."

Xu Dong shook his head.

Since ancient times, Daxia has always emphasized the doctrine of the mean.

Pride brings harm, humility brings benefit!

Especially for big businessmen like them, they can't confront their superiors at any time and place, especially in the current special period, the lower the better.

Otherwise, no matter how great his contribution is, it can't resist the saying "rich people have wine and meat, while people on the road have frozen bones", and he will end up in disgrace and even have a hard time ending up well.

"Yes, the development speed of Xinke Seaweed is really shocking, and even the stock price of our Xiajian Group has risen a lot."

Mr. Wu agreed with a smile.

"You're too kind, but it's all paper wealth. It can rise today and fall again tomorrow."

Xu Dong immediately became humble.

Mr. Wu "took advantage of the situation": "Mr. Xu, if you don't have confidence, why don't you sell me a few points of stocks, and our group is willing to buy it at a premium of 10%."

To be honest, Xu Dong was very tempted, but considering the issue of controlling rights, he finally refused with pain, after all, the other party is not an ordinary state-owned enterprise.

You can't be without a sense of defense!

Mr. Wu immediately changed his expression to a sour one: "Old Ma, you are lucky. You have encountered a potential stock like 'Xinke Seaweed' at the first try."

"Mr. Xu didn't suffer any loss. I believe everyone has seen the market situation of 'Metaworld' last year. There is definitely a lot to look forward to in the future."

Musk immediately retorted.

Xu Dong didn't care. The reason why he chose to exchange shares with the other party was mainly for risk aversion. And Musk was right. "Metaworld" is definitely a high-quality stock.

"Old Ma, how is your new factory going? When can it be put into production?"

"It will take some time, probably in the middle of next year." Musk replied.

Xu Dong frowned slightly: "It's been more than a year. Why did it take so long?"

"There is no way. A round of floods just came a few months ago. The supply chain that was originally built with great difficulty was broken again. If it weren't for the lack of funds and energy, I would have wanted to go out myself."

"The situation has indeed been bad in the past two years. It will be fine after these two years." Xu Dong hurriedly comforted.

Mr. Wu took the opportunity to ask: "Mr. Xu, how is the construction of the Xinke Seaweed sub-base going?"

"Everything is going well. It will be completed in two or three months."

"Xinke Seaweed" is different from Musk's "Tesla". It is a pure agricultural production enterprise with very few supply chains involved.

"That's great. By then, the stock prices of our two companies will definitely usher in another wave of surges."

"I say, Mr. Wu, why do you keep talking about stock prices? You won't secretly go out to trade stocks, right? I advise you not to make a fool of yourself!"

Xu Dong reminded seriously.

"You think too much." Mr. Wu waved his hands on the spot: "How could I make such a low-level mistake?"

"What are you doing?"

Mr. Wu smiled reservedly: "It's okay to tell you that my term of office will end in a few months. If nothing unexpected happens, I should be transferred to Hancheng as mayor."

"Congratulations, is this a promotion?"

"It's just a horizontal transfer." Mr. Wu shook his head, "But being able to jump out of a state-owned enterprise is also a big breakthrough, better than standing still."

"Come on, let's raise a toast to Mr. Wu and wish him a prosperous career and a rapid rise to the top."

Xu Dong raised his teacup and suggested.

"Congratulations!"

"Gratulate!"

Mr. Wu smiled: "Thank you, thank you!"

...

After some small talk,

President Da Mu asked casually, "Xu Sang, do you have any new projects recently? If you are short of funds, please let us know."

"Hey, President Da Mu, are you well-informed?"

"No, no, I just heard about it when I attended the annual meeting of Xin Ke Hai Zao."

President Da Mu had just become the president of Ni Sang Chamber of Commerce. The reason why he was able to take the position was because of his investment in Xin Ke Hai Zao and his good personal relationship with Xu Dong.

Xu Dong's personal wealth is not as good as the entire Ni Sang Chamber of Commerce, but as the richest man, he is now a banner of Da Xia's business community, and the meaning behind it is extraordinary.

Xu Dong picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea: "I do have a small investment project recently. If you are interested, you can invest some money in it. Although the rate of return is not high, it is definitely stable."

"What project?"

Mike and others asked quickly.

No one has too many profitable businesses.

Xu Dong looked at Ye Hui: "Mr. Ye, should you introduce me to everyone?"

"Yes, Director Xu."

Ye Hui organized the speech and reported:

"Our company successfully developed a special fertilizer for seaweed last year, and the effect is very outstanding. Because the main raw material is volcanic ash, it is named ash fertilizer. At present, this technology is basically mature."

"Do you want to completely separate the production of gray fertilizer? Can the board of directors agree to this?"

When it comes to personal interests, Mr. Wu responded very quickly. After all, with the size of Xinke Seaweed, the amount of gray fertilizer consumed every year is definitely not a small amount.

"Yes, Director Xu has privately convinced most shareholders of the board of directors that the newly established gray fertilizer plant will operate independently."

"Old Xu, how did you convince everyone?"

Mr. Mike asked curiously.

Xu Dong waved his hand: "Actually, I didn't waste much time. I just sent a documentary to everyone."

"What documentary?"

"The name of the documentary is "Mining Slaves, Porters and Pneumoconiosis". The director doesn't know who it is, and he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead.

The documentary was mailed to me by a beautiful female reporter from China. If any of you are interested, you can make a copy and take it home to watch slowly. "

Everyone savored the title of the documentary carefully.

Just by looking at the film title, everyone can guess the content of the documentary.

"I won't say much about the content of the documentary. It completely exceeds the bottom line of humanity. As a high-tech company, Xinke Seaweed should have a high sense of social responsibility and must not be involved in this kind of thing."

"What about you, Lao Xu?" Mr. Wu asked doubtfully.

"Firstly, gray fertilizer is the core benefit of Xinke Seaweed. If it is placed in the hands of outsiders, it will be unsafe and easily controlled by others. Secondly, I will only invest in building a factory, and the supply of raw materials will be outsourced to other companies, so the impact will be limited."

Xu Dong explained patiently.
