Movie Variety Show: Starting from a New World

Chapter 1276 Changwu City, Zhongjiang Province

In the manager's office of Zhizhen Garden, Mrs. Lin looked at Manager Pan in front of her.

"Xiao Pan, have you heard that Mr. Bao is coming to Zhizhen Garden for dinner recently?" Mrs. Lin asked curiously.

"Mrs. Lin, no! Mr. Bao hasn't been to Huanghe Road recently. I heard from others that he's been very busy!" Manager Pan said.

"Where did Mr. Bao go tonight?" Mrs. Lin asked.

"I heard that General Manager Wei took them to Zhang's Private Kitchen. Now they go there to discuss some private matters!" Manager Pan said.

"Have someone keep watch at the main gate for the next few days. If Boss Bao comes to Huanghe Road, be sure to let me know! Understand?" Mrs. Lin said seriously.

"No problem, I'll tell the doorman!" Although Manager Pan was puzzled, she did as her boss instructed.

"Boss lady, how about I wait for Boss Bao to come out of Zhang's shop?" Manager Pan said.

"No need, that would seem too deliberate! Just let me know when Mr. Bao comes to Zhizhen Garden, and I'll discuss the rest with him!" Mrs. Lin waved her hand and said.

Meanwhile, in a private room at Zhangji Private Kitchen, Young Master Wei was holding onto Boss Bao's hand, trying to stop him from leaving.

"Mr. Wei, it's no use pulling me along! You can't get into that steel plant!" Abao said to Mr. Wei with a helpless expression.

"Boss Bao, let's not talk about that now, let's eat first! Okay? We'll talk after we finish eating, alright?" Little Wei said shamelessly, grabbing Bao's hand.

“Then let’s eat. But let me make this clear, we’ll only eat. I really can’t help you with the steel mill business. I’m just a small shareholder!” Abao said with a wry smile.

"No problem, no problem, let's eat first! Okay?" Mr. Wei said with a smile.

Once you've eaten, I don't believe you can refuse me! That's what Mr. Wei really thinks.

"Boss Bao, could you tell me about this steel plant? I'd like to know more about it, is that alright?" Seeing that A Bao was only focused on eating and not saying a word, Xiao Wei had no choice but to start a conversation himself.

"This steel plant..." Abao briefly explained the situation of the steel plant to General Manager Wei, emphasizing that it was a benefit provided to everyone by Mr. Ye's family.

"Boss Bao, it seems I can't count on the steel mill. Is there anything else we can rely on?" Young Master Wei looked at Boss Bao with a fawning expression.

"Hmm?" Abao looked at Xiao Wei with a puzzled expression, not understanding what he meant for a moment.

“Look, since the steel mill is offering you benefits, I won’t be interested. But I heard that you have a stake in that woman from Binzhou, Xu Banxia, ​​right? And I also heard that Mr. Tan from Shengxuan Group plans to invest in purchasing scrap steel through Xu Banxia’s channels, right? Mr. Bao, don’t you want to get involved?” Little Wei said to A Bao with a smile.

"Oh, I see. You want to take a stake in the steel mill, right? You want to get involved in the scrap steel business?" Abao finally realized what was going on. But he had to admit, this young Mr. Wei really had a lot of ideas!

Previously, when I was selling Three Sheep, this Mr. Wei wanted to interfere. Now that I'm selling counterfeit Three Sheep, this Mr. Wei still wants to interfere.

If he hadn't been ignorant about the stocks he played later, would this guy have gotten involved too?

"Hehe, you can't say that. Making money is nothing to be ashamed of! In Shanghai these days, as long as you have money, you're living the high life. If you don't have money, you don't even have the courage to come to Huanghe Road!" Little Wei said excitedly to A Bao.

“Young Master Wei, we’ve been in the business on Huanghe Road for so many years. I know what kind of person you are, and you know what kind of person I am! It’s not shameful to use some tricks to make money, but there should always be a bottom line, right? You must have heard about the Zhao family’s gathering, right? Do you know what the old man of the Zhao family set at the meeting was?” A Bao asked.

Mr. Wei shook his head. Although he knew about the Zhao family's gathering, he didn't really know the specifics, since he wasn't qualified to enter the venue.

"Times have changed, and people's hearts have changed. Everything is now focused on economic development. But as a well-known entrepreneur and a big boss, you must remember one ironclad rule! Don't over-exploit your employees! Although employees often can't fight back against the company when things go wrong, they can bite if pushed too far! So, the Zhao family patriarch set a rule for all the business partners and companies that the Zhao family has in common: 20% of the annual net profit must be redistributed to the employees in the form of various benefits! Do you understand what this means?" Abao asked, looking at Little Wei.

"Twenty percent of net profit?" Young Master Wei asked, somewhat shocked.

“That’s right, it’s 20% of the net profit! Don’t talk about how the company is yours, the channels are yours, and everything belongs to the boss, but without employees to work for you, do you think you can make a profit? So the essence of everything is still that workers create value! Let’s treat our employees well. Everyone who participated that day signed an agreement, and that’s the bottom line drawn by the Zhao family patriarch. Can your company do that?” Abao asked rhetorically.

"I can't do it!" Mr. Wei shook his head helplessly.

"So, you can't be included in the Zhao family's cooperation scope at all! Do you think you can still cooperate with Xu Banxia? If Xu Banxia really has plans to raise funds or borrow money, wouldn't it be better for everyone to cooperate within this framework? Why find an outsider?" Abao said to Xiao Wei, his expression clearly saying that Xiao Wei was an outsider!

Mr. Wei looked at A Bao and pondered what A Bao had said, realizing that it was indeed true.

“Boss Bao, I was wrong about this! Let’s be frank. I’m not asking you to bring me into your system. I just hope you can introduce me to that ‘Queen of Trash’ in Binzhou! I want to talk to her in person!” Little Wei said with a determined look in his eyes.

Faced with Mr. Wei's insistence, A Bao had no choice but to agree to help with the introduction. However, the extent of the help would depend on Mr. Wei himself.

Meanwhile, in Changwu City, Zhongjiang Province, a meeting was also being held regarding the fate of a steel plant.

“Secretary, Mayor, I think we should reconsider this matter.” The speaker was Malik, the director of the Changwu City Energy Bureau.

"Oh? What brilliant idea does Director Ma have?" Secretary Zhang asked curiously.

"Was the land we allocated to the new steel plant too cheap? And the original land was given to them directly, and the land use was changed. Could there be a problem of loss of state-owned assets?" Director Ma said after some consideration.

As soon as Director Ma finished speaking, a collective gasp filled the conference room. His question was simply too sensitive!
