Chapter 676 Viagra Follow-up
Chapter 676 Viagra Follow-up
After arriving at the government office, Zhou Tian went straight to the third floor and found Secretary Liu.
"Secretary, are you looking for me?"
Zhou Tian looked at Liu Weimin respectfully.
"Xiaotian, you're here, just in time, come and sit down!"
When Liu Weimin saw Zhou Tian, he immediately stood up with a smile, pulled him to sit on the sofa, poured him a cup of tea, and then said, "Xiaotian, you have done an excellent job these days. Lao Lu and the others often praise you in front of me!"
"Thank you for the compliment, Secretary. This is what I should do!"
Zhou Tian took the teacup with a smile, but there was no joy on his face.
He knew that whenever a superior started by praising someone, he would definitely ask for something later.
Sure enough, Liu Weimin saw that Zhou Tian didn't respond and sighed slightly: "Xiaotian, it's been a year since you came to SX, right?"
Zhou Tian nodded when he heard this: "Yes, Secretary, it's been a year!"
"It's been more than a year since you came here. Our economy has been changing with each passing day. Last year's tax revenue alone was among the highest in the country. However, we are lagging behind in infrastructure construction. Not to mention other places, even the neighboring province built a lot of high-rise buildings last year. So I plan to develop our infrastructure this year. What do you think?"
As he spoke, Liu Weimin looked straight at Zhou Tian.
"Secretary, I have no objection to this matter. I will listen to you and Mr. Lu. As long as you two agree, I will definitely do a good job!"
Zhou Tian said without any hesitation.
"Xiaotian, do you know what I mean? I want to hear your true feelings!"
Looking at Zhou Tian's serious expression, Liu Weimin felt powerless. He didn't know why this little guy Zhou Tian was so innocent when he came, but now he has become so stubborn.
"Secretary, if it's up to me, I don't think now is the right time!"
Seeing Secretary Liu looking like he wanted to get to the bottom of things, Zhou Tian knew that if he didn't say something today, Secretary Liu would probably be very dissatisfied with him in the future. After thinking about it, after all, he would still work under Secretary Liu's jurisdiction in the future, so he could only tell the truth.
"why?"
Secretary Liu's expression suddenly darkened. Although Zhou Tian's words made him very dissatisfied, he also knew that Zhou Tian must have his reasons for saying so. After all, Zhou Tian was not Lao Lu, and the suburbs of Changping were originally his work. Naturally, he wanted to hear his true opinion on the matter!
"It's very simple, Secretary Liu. Although we did develop well last year and will even develop better this year, there is one thing we need to pay attention to. We are different from other provinces. More of our industries rely on coal as a pillar. The reason why we can get orders for agricultural machinery now is that the task orders of the Sijiucheng Agricultural Machinery Factory are limited to domestic production, so production is insufficient. We took advantage of this!"
"Secondly, we are one step ahead, so we can take advantage of this time to enter the Southeast Asian market. But at the same time, other provinces will not let us continue like this. First of all, there are also agricultural machinery factories in the coastal areas of Jiangnan. If the agricultural machinery factories there can also obtain the technology of the Sijiucheng Agricultural Machinery Factory, our advantage will no longer be an advantage!"
“Therefore, we should try to invest our money in road construction and infrastructure, and buildings are not the primary option for the time being.
At the very least, we have to wait until our pharmaceutical factory’s products can be sold to a certain scale and become stable before we can support the construction of high-rise buildings! "
Zhou Tian's words immediately made Secretary Liu's face uncertain, and he remained silent. However, no matter how unwilling he was, he had to admit that what Zhou Tian said made sense.
Just as Zhou Tian said, the orders for the agricultural machinery factory are indeed not very stable. Just like when he went to Sijiu City to report on his work last year, many top leaders from other provinces asked about the situation of the agricultural machinery at the agricultural machinery factory.
Even though he concealed it again and again, he knew that the matter of the agricultural machinery would be exposed sooner or later.
As for coal, it is currently unable to satisfy even the domestic market, let alone export. Moreover, the price of coal in the international market is not high. He does not think that much money can be made from coal exports. Perhaps even less than agricultural machinery!
But thinking of his disagreement with Lao Lu over this matter, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
"It seems that Lao Lu's idea is correct. Well, if that's the case, let Lao Lu do it!"
After figuring out everything, Liu Weimin stopped asking questions and began to talk to Zhou Tian about what happened with the Peninsula merchants a few days ago. As Zhou Tian told him everything, Liu Weimin began to appreciate Zhou Tian more and more.
Although this little guy seems to have his own scheming now, it has to be said that he is really good when dealing with these businessmen.
Seeing that it was almost eleven o'clock, Zhou Tiancai left the government office and went out to eat a meal of sx's specialty knife-cut noodles before he returned to the research institute.
Time passed quickly, and more than ten days had passed. As the Viagra taken away by the Peninsula merchants gradually caused a sensation on the Peninsula, more and more wealthy people on the Peninsula came to Zhang Yiming and Luo Cheng.
Obviously, they were all very interested in Viagra, a pill that was related to happiness in the second half of their lives. In particular, some of the foreigners wanted to get the agency rights from other places directly, which made Luo Cheng and Zhang Yiming both happy and a little panicked.
If it was just one or two foreigners, it would be easy to deal with. With their current relationships on the peninsula, they could still refuse. But when some of the real big financial groups on the peninsula came knocking on their door, the two could no longer refuse.
Especially when the heads of Peninsula Swire Group and Jardine Matheson Group came to the door, Zhang Yiming and Luo Cheng had no choice but to tell the truth of the matter.
When the Swire Group and the Jardine Matheson Group learned that Viagra was imported from the mainland, the two groups knew that this was a big deal. They were not small businessmen like Zhang Yiming and Luo Cheng, so they naturally knew how much profit this kind of thing could bring.
Especially as Viagra has become popular on the peninsula after passing through the hands of the two men, if they stop the two men from importing Viagra, not to mention the upper classes and government officials who have become accustomed to the effects of Viagra, even they themselves would not be willing to do so.
But if we continue to allow the two to import from the mainland, wouldn’t they be aiding the enemy?
In the end, the two consortiums decided that on the one hand, they could allow the two men to continue importing Viagra, but on the other hand, they would also organize some scientists to crack Viagra. As long as they could produce Viagra themselves, they could then directly close the mainland's import channels.
Wouldn't it be better for them to enjoy this gold mountain all by themselves? After making the decision, the two companies jointly recruited some chemical talents from all over the world, and also trained several Chinese spies to prepare for another situation. If they can't crack it, then they can also try to steal it!
