The Spring Festival had arrived, and Secretary Wei Pingshun had a very humane rule. No matter what level of cadre, as long as they were not from the county, they would not participate in the holiday shift. This made Zhao Tiewei and the other officers feel warm.
This was the first Chinese New Year after his father left. Both his grandfather and his mother needed a family reunion.
Zhao Tiewei wanted to bring Zhang Mingzhi home during the Spring Festival and officially introduce her to her mother and grandfather, so he told Zhang Mingzhi about his family's situation in advance. He wanted Zhang Mingzhi to be mentally prepared.
When she heard that Zhao Tiewei's grandfather was the boss of Huayu Group, Zhang Mingzhi's eyes almost popped out. He knew that his boyfriend's family was very rich, but he never expected him to be so rich. Moreover, he was the eldest grandson of the famous Huayu Corporation. When he took the initiative to offer a kiss, he had already secretly vowed that he would not marry anyone other than Zhao Tiewei.
Zhao Tielin, who was far away in the United States, had also returned. He had arrived a day earlier than Zhao Tiewei, who was in China. He heard from Tielin that he had brought back a pure American girl.
Zhao Zhixing had already received calls from his grandchildren and was waiting at home. Thinking about how he was about to see a few children gathered around him, he felt a sense of warmth and comfort. However, his smile was still there, but his right hand covered his glasses. He was both excited and melancholic. Looking at the broken family in front of him, he thought of his daughter and two sons who had suffered. He recalled the past and shed tears of sadness.
When people reached a certain age, they always loved to reminisce about the past because the past contained their dreams, their hardships, and their most beautiful moments.
Billionaire Zhao Zhixing was no exception at this moment. He thought of the past, of his past, of his middle-aged success, and of his decades of struggle in the business world.
Zhao Zhixing, Zhao Tiewei's grandfather, an elite in the business world, a genius in the field of circulation, and the head of the Huayu Empire. He used his legendary experience to create a mythical miracle. It all began in the spring of 1980.
Zhao Zhixing worked as a technician in a county-run pesticide factory in Dongchuan Province. At that time, it was a purely planned economy. The factory only cared about production and not sales. One of the main products of the factory was the pesticide, high-efficiency cyhalothrin, which was needed to grow cotton. It was mainly supplied to the cotton planting market in the city and some surrounding counties. With the decrease in the purchase price of cotton and the increase in various pests and diseases in the past two years, cotton farmers had suffered a large loss. As if they had discussed it beforehand, the number of cotton farmers in 1980 decreased by more than 70%. The fertilizer factory did not care about this and was still busy with production. The entire warehouse of the pesticide factory could no longer hold this pesticide. The factory was a collective enterprise, not a national enterprise guaranteed by the country. It could not pay wages in a short time.
The phenomenon that the factory couldn't pay the workers appeared a couple of years ago. A small-scale pesticide factory that Zhao Zhixing worked in caught up with it, which made the workers who always worked more and less anxious. The leaders of the county government who had to take care of the factory were also anxious. After hearing the new term of reform and opening up, the leaders of the county government decided to carry out a reform on this pesticide factory. The so-called reform meant that whoever sold the pesticide would become the factory manager.
Zhao Zhixing was fifty years old that year. He had experienced all kinds of hardships in life and accumulated a wealth of life experience. He thought of his high school classmate, Maimati Ayi. As they had a good relationship in school, they had always kept in touch with each other. Every year before the Spring Festival, they would write letters to each other to greet each other. His classmate was already the head of a state-owned farm.
This classmate was from Xinjiang. He came to the mainland with his parents to work and was transferred back to Xinjiang a few years later. Didn't the farm grow cotton? He secretly called his old classmate, Maimati Ayi. Maimati Ayi told him that the farm had planted 30,000 mu of cotton and was suffering from pests. The local medicine had become resistant to cotton pests after years of spraying, and the effect was greatly reduced. After Zhao Zhixing introduced the situation of his factory, Maimati Ayi asked him to immediately take the medicine to Xinjiang to try.
The effect was surprisingly good. Maimati Ayi wanted to buy all of his pesticide and offered a price that was 15% higher than the price in Dongchuan Province. He also suggested that he contract this small factory personally. His production was not enough for his entire farm, so he did not have to worry about sales.
When Zhao Zhixing returned to the county, he found the leader of the county government and proposed to contract the fertilizer plant that was suffering heavy losses. The condition was to guarantee the payment of the workers 'wages and make up for the two months of wages that had been owed. The contract would last for three years. This seemed impossible to achieve now. The investment in the factory was as much as a million yuan, plus the factory and equipment. It was impossible not to hand over the profits. However, at the beginning of the reform, they were crossing the river by feeling the stones. A person who could pay the company was their savior. Who cared so much about other things? The contract was signed in a few days. If Zhao Zhixing broke the contract, the collateral would only be his five broken tile-roofed houses. This was inconceivable today, but in the 1980s, no one dared to put their houses up for public business.
Three years, three whole years, Zhao Zhixing earned five million. He didn't dare to do it anymore. The huge sum of five million in 1983 made Zhao Zhixing feel troubled every night. He was afraid that if he did some exercise, he would definitely be torn into pieces by the factory workers who only earned a few dozen yuan.
Zhao Zhixing resigned and brought three of his most trusted factory technicians to a large farm in Xinjiang. He opened the first private chemical plant in the farm in Xinjiang, reducing transportation and operating costs. There was no pension and medical expenses, and the farm produced whatever pesticide it needed. The profits increased greatly, and the quality of the products was reliable and effective. It was immediately praised by the local planting industry and became a well-known foreign entrepreneur.
After working for six years, the political climate change in 1989 scared him again. He sold the factory to his classmate's farm at three times the price of the investment. He returned to Dongchuan Province with more than 50 million.
Qian Hongtao, a junior high school classmate who had been paying attention and keeping in touch with him, was now the executive vice governor of Dongchuan Province. The suggestion to open a chemical plant in Xinjiang was made by Qian Hongtao, and the idea of withdrawing from Xinjiang to Dongchuan Province was also supported by Qian Hongtao. Qian Hongtao also suggested that he invest the money in mining development. If the country wanted to reform and open up and develop rapidly, it would definitely be inseparable from energy development. The provincial mining department had a few ready-made projects, but they could not do it without money. Zhao Zhixing had more than 50 million yuan in his hands, and he could borrow the same amount from the bank. At the end of the 1980s, when funds were extremely tight, more than 100 million yuan was enough to do some decent projects.
Since the project was introduced by Qian Hongtao, the executive vice governor, Qian Hongtao inadvertently became the halo above Zhao Zhixing. Zhao Zhixing's business was smooth sailing and had a green light all the way. The mining development projects that he got were second-class fat mines that large state-owned enterprises looked down on and small and medium-sized enterprises did not have the money to do. In five or six years, Huayu Group had grown like a snowball, becoming one of the vanguard of private enterprises in Dongchuan Province.
Just as his career was at its peak and he was traveling thousands of miles a day, Zhao Zhixing, who was in his sixties, had the idea of retiring. This caused a huge conflict between his two sons. For the sake of the family's interests, the second brother actually attacked the eldest brother, and then committed suicide after the incident. The departure of his children left him with no choice but to place his hopes on his grandchildren. Without his eyeballs, his weight naturally increased.
