Xiao Yuanhang got off the car with Xu Wenye with the gift he brought to Xu, and looked up at the mighty courtyard opposite. This courtyard is not the old courtyard of the Beijing residential houses, but the ancient courtyard of the Qing Dynasty official residence that is often seen in movies. It is surrounded by gray walls more than three meters high, and the eaves on the front center gate are magnificent, with two gates closed, one of which has a small door, and there are three-stage steps paved with granite stone in front of the door, but there are no stone lions and horse stakes displayed in the movie on both sides of the door.

Xiao Yuanhang As Xu Wenye walked up the steps, the small door on the door opened from the inside. Xu Wenbo walked out of the inside in a suit, looked at Xiao Yuanhang and smiled and said, "Xiao Xiao, it's a happy New Year. Welcome to my house as a guest!" Then he stretched out his hand to Xiao Yuanhang.

It was the first time Xiao Yuanhang saw Xu Wenbo from the Spring Festival to now, so he quickly took a few steps forward, handed the things he carried with his right hand to his left, shook hands with Xu Wenbo, and wished him a happy New Year: "Secretary Xu, happy New Year!"

Xu Wenbo saw the things Xiao Yuanhang was carrying and signaled and asked, "What are you carrying?"

Xiao Yuanhang smiled and said, "It was a little Changbai Mountain specialty that Mr. Xu brought to Mr. Xu, ginseng, deer antler and pine nuts."

"Oh!" Xu Wenbo nodded with satisfaction. He knew that Xiao Yuanhang had to bring gifts when he visited the old man for the first time. He was most afraid that Xiao Yuanhang would bring some vulgar things to make the old man angry. Seeing that he was carrying local specialties in Changbai Mountain, he felt relieved. At the same time, he was also satisfied with Xiao Yuanhang's "eye-wire".

After entering the gate and passing the door, the view in front suddenly became wider. The courtyard in the Sihe Courtyard is very spacious, and parking more than a dozen cars is not a problem. The snow in the courtyard is also clean. There is an ancient ginkgo tree in the center of the courtyard, with huge branches almost covering the entire courtyard.

What Xiao Yuanhang did not expect was that this courtyard is multi-entry. When passing through the first courtyard and the second courtyard, the area of ​​the second courtyard is similar to the area of ​​the first courtyard. The difference is that there are many trees planted around the second courtyard. There is a huge grape trellis in the center of the courtyard. Although it is the severe winter season, it can be seen that if it is midsummer, this grape trellis can cover the entire courtyard and is the best place to enjoy the cool air.

According to Xu Wenbo, there are three courtyards in this courtyard. The yard at the end is mainly a small garden and fruit trees. After entering the main room of the second courtyard, Xu Wenbo took Xiao Yuanhang to the reception room. A service staff made tea for him. Xu Wenbo asked Xu Wenye to accompany Xiao Yuanhang for a while, and he left the reception room and headed towards the bedroom on one side.

Xiao Yuanhang knew that Xu Wenbo was asking Mr. Xu to ask for instructions, so he waited patiently here. While drinking tea, he started chatting with Xu Wenye.

Xiao Yuanhang looked at Xu Wenye and asked, "Brother Xiaowu, how is the progress of the Jibei Iron and Steel Company you acquired?"

Xu Wenye followed Xiao Yuanhang's opinion on starting a steel company, and after returning to Beijing, he began to actively operate. It is unrealistic to build a steel company in person. The best model is to acquire a steel company, and then carry out technological transformation and industrial upgrading. In addition, during the acquisition process, he can directly take over a group of professional and technical talents and skilled workers.

Xu Wenye hired professionals to plan, and finally took a look at Jibei Steel Company. Jibei Steel Company is a provincial small and medium-sized steel company with an annual output of about 500,000 tons. However, due to the aging of technical equipment, backward production processes, huge energy consumption, and the impact of the reform and opening up market economy, he suffered losses for years and is now insolvent. Because the workers cannot pay wages, they have been petitioning for the provincial and municipal governments year after year. In the end, the provincial government cut off their arm and decided to go bankrupt and reorganize it, which gave Xu Wenye the opportunity to acquire it.

During the acquisition negotiations with northern Hebei Province, Xu Wenye's team often communicated with Xiao Yuanhang on the phone. Later, the negotiations reached a deadlock, so Xu Wenye never talked about this matter with Xiao Yuanhang again. Therefore, Xiao Yuanhang asked this question.

Xu Wenye said: "At the New Year, after I agreed to accept 70% of the employees of Jibei Iron and Steel Company, things had turned around. After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, substantive negotiations will begin."

"What is the intention amount?" Xiao Yuanhang asked again.

Xu Wenye said: "It is generally between 550 million and 600 million, and it will depend on the specific negotiation situation at that time."

Xiao Yuanhang nodded when he heard this. This was similar to the expectations of Xu Wenye Group. They planned to invest 1 billion yuan in total, use 500 to 600 million to acquire Jibei Steel Company, and then use 400 to 500 million to update and transform technical equipment, increasing the annual steel production capacity to about 1 million tons, and ultimately achieving industrial upgrading.

At this time, Xu Wenbo came back and said to Xiao Yuanhang: "Xiao Xiao, my father is in the study, let's go there now."

Xiao Yuanhang stood up and said, "Okay."

Xu Wenye also stood up, followed Xu Wenbo and Xiao Yuanhang out of the living room, and headed towards Mr. Xu's study.

When he walked to the door of Mr. Xu's study, Xu Wenbo knocked on the door gently, and then whispered: "Dad, Xiao Xiao is here." Hearing a "hmm" inside, he gently pushed open the door, walked out a few steps first, and then stopped to make a gesture to Xiao Yuanhang.

From outside the door, you can only see rows of antique bookshelf in the study room, filled with various books, and you can't see Mr. Xu himself. When Xiao Yuanhang walked in, he found that the study room was very large, about forty square meters. An old man with silver hair was sitting on a mahogany lounge chair on the east side, looking at him with a calm look on his face. The expression on his face was not angry but powerful. Xiao Yuanhang suddenly felt a powerful aura coming to his face, and his heart couldn't help but jump violently.

Xu Wenbo introduced: "Dad, this is the Xiao Xiao I often talk to you, Xiao Yuanhang!"

Xiao Yuanhang suppressed his heartbeat and stepped forward and said, "Hello, Chief!" Then he bowed deeply!

Old Xu looked straight at Xiao Yuanhang, and then nodded and said, "Okay, it's rare for a young man to be a talent!" Obviously, Old Xu had already learned about Xiao Yuanhang's information from Xu Wenbo and Xu Wenye, otherwise he would not have said that.

Xiao Yuanhang stepped forward and gently placed the things he carried in his hand on the mahogany coffee table, and said softly: "Sir, this is a little Changbai Mountain local specialty brought by the younger generation from his hometown. It has the effects of improving eyesight, strengthening the brain, nourishing yin and yang, and prolonging life. I beg the leader to accept it."

"Oh?" Mr. Xu was excited when he heard this: "What are they? And such effects?"

Xiao Yuanhang quickly introduced: "There are some red pine nuts from Changbai Mountain, a few grasses, a little deer antler and a ginseng. They are all native mountain products and pure natural green foods." As he said that, he took them out to Mr. Xu to see them all.

Mr. Xu had never seen any good things. Seeing that these things brought by Xiao Yuanhang were indeed not very valuable treasures in the mountains, he became more in love with Xiao Yuanhang and said with a smile: "Okay! I will break the example today and take these things away!"
