110: Hamburgers can be exchanged for a foreign horse? Long Xia also wants this good day!

[The fact that we can openly discuss modified cars here is also a sign of Dragon Xia's growing strength.]

[Sir, times have changed. The Slipper Army of the Desert Camel dares to shit and piss on the head of the Eagle. If this were a dozen years ago, would you dare to imagine it?]

[They dare to slander you for having weapons of mass destruction just by carrying a bag of laundry powder, and then directly destroy your country!]

[If the Eagle says you have weapons of mass destruction, you'd better actually have them!]

[As long as the Eagle is alive, we cannot sleep or eat in peace.]

[I pondered all night long; only by entering the pass can we enjoy the good life!]

[Enter the pass! Enter the pass!]

[The people of Dragon Xia also want to drive big V8s and live in big houses!]

[Work hard! As long as we take down the Eagle, in the future, one burger will be enough to trade for a foreign horse to ride.]

[Small horse pulling a big cart? You kid have some interesting ideas.]

[Brother upstairs, let's talk elsewhere.]

With Julong Steel's official website releasing videos of foreign extreme modifications, a wave of modifying longmao small cars has surged within Dragon Xia, and for a time, the sales of longmao small cars exploded.

"Director, given the current popularity, we should at least expand by adding another production line," Wang Zizhong suggested.

Lu Shenwei vetoed it: "Once the hype dies down, the sales of the longmao will drop to normal levels. It's not appropriate to rashly add a production line."

"Then what about opening an overseas production line? How about that?" Wang Zizhong still wouldn't give up.

Having finally managed to make the longmao small car a success, he had been thinking about how to expand their achievements.

Deep down, Wang Zizhong had always felt a trace of inferiority. Back then, he had managed the Shanmao Tractor Factory, only for it to go bankrupt under his watch.

Now that he had Lu Shenwei leading the way, he had to stand tall.

He had to do right by the workers who had followed him for decades and not let down the expectations of his mentor, Director Lu.

"Continue your investigation into the overseas market, Uncle Wang. We have money, but we cannot blindly invest and expand."

Lu Shenwei reminded him. He knew deeply that his success came from the system and from thorough market research on the Dragon Xia market.

If they didn't understand the situation, rashly charging into the overseas market would have a very high probability of failure.

"Director, I will report back to you after I conduct an in-depth investigation."

Wang Zizhong agreed with Lu Shenwei's view; blind arrogance was not advisable, but that didn't mean he would give up.

"The order from the East Siberia Development Bureau of the Maoxiong can be arranged first. You can take Zhou Cun with you to the Maoxiong region to conduct an investigation."

The overseas market was a "rich mine" that Julong Steel would have to develop sooner or later.

"Taking Xiao Zhou along is no problem, but then you won't have anyone around to help you."

"That's not an issue. Even if you leave, isn't Director Ma still here?"

Wang Zizhong couldn't win against Lu Shenwei. That same afternoon, he packed his bags and prepared to take Zhou Cun to the Maoxiong region for an investigation.

After arranging for Wang Zizhong's departure, Lu Shenwei dialed Bai Xiaoying's number.

"There's an awards ceremony tomorrow. Are you going?"

"What awards ceremony? The one in the city?"

Bai Xiaoying was confused. Lu Shenwei explained: "The provincial one. You can ask Director Zhou; their department is hosting it."

The next day, at the Qinchuan Intercontinental Hotel, in the conference center.

The heads of the provincial Patrol Police department and the provincial industrial and commercial department gathered, and Zhou Wen was accompanying the leaders in conversation.

"Isn't that Lu Shenwei? He actually dares to come."

"Don't forget the theme of this meeting: the provincial disciplinary and commendation conference. Lu Shenwei is morally corrupt; he must be a target for disciplinary action."

"He had a great hand but played it terribly. He's so brainless."

"He won't even donate a few million to the disaster area in Yu Zhong. He's a modern-day Huang Shiren."

"Stay away from him, lest you get bad luck."

Like a fish drinking water, one knows the true situation for oneself.

Lu Shenwei walked towards Huang Liang without any sadness or joy. The latter, knowing the inside story, introduced the attending guests to him: "Director Lu, please bear with us; Director Zhou has gone to accompany the provincial leaders."

"Understood, understood. Can Director Zhou get promoted this time?" Lu Shenwei asked.

"There are rumors, but the higher-ups are still considering."

"If rumors are spreading, it means it's pretty much settled."

"Director Zhou doesn't like to socialize. If it were any other leader, with such a great achievement, they would definitely be running around to lobby people."

"Good things take time. Let's just wait."

While the two were talking, an elderly man in a sharp suit walked towards Lu Shenwei.

"Better to meet than to hear of, Director Lu is indeed as rumored, young and promising."

"And you are?"

Lu Shenwei looked puzzled, and Huang Liang quickly explained: "Chen Qizheng, a big boss in the Qinchuan chemical industry. His Qizheng Agriculture specializes in the production of organic nitrogen fertilizers."

"Nice to meet you, President Chen. May I ask what advice you have?"

Hearing that Chen Qizheng was in agricultural fertilizers, Lu Shenwei immediately thought of the collapsed Lis Group.

"Director Lu, you're joking. How could I, old Chen, dare to advise a young talent like you? I just want to cooperate with you," Chen Qizheng said politely.

"I'm already notorious; aren't you afraid of dragging down your company's reputation?"

Lu Shenwei had experienced the cold and warmth of human relationships at this meeting; many bosses pointed at him when they saw him attending.

However, due to the presence of provincial leaders, no one dared to say anything, and Chen Qizheng was the only one who took the initiative to come up and talk.

"Director Lu, you're joking again. For a company that can sell agricultural machinery at cost price, I don't believe its leader is devoid of compassion or short-sighted," Chen Qizheng said with a serious expression.

Lu Shenwei laughed: "I don't know if you're teasing me or mocking me with those words."

"Of course I'm praising you. Julong Steel reaching this point today is all thanks to your efforts, Director Lu."

"Based on this courage and decisiveness alone, I, old Chen, do not believe that you would remain indifferent to the floods in Yu Zhong."

Hearing Chen Qizheng affirm him so strongly, Lu Shenwei said solemnly: "How does President Chen want to cooperate?"

"As long as you nod, Director Lu, any form of cooperation will work."

Chen Qizheng's expression was calm, but in reality, he was overjoyed inside.

The longmao agricultural vehicle had appeared out of nowhere, almost instantly killing 99% of the competing products on the market. If Qizheng Agriculture wanted to survive, or rather, if it wanted to live better, it had to play by Julong Steel's rules of the game.

And the first step was to build a good relationship with Julong Steel. As the saying goes, adding flowers to a brocade is not as good as sending charcoal in snowy weather.

Chen Qizheng's show of goodwill was based on this thought. After all, Lu Shenwei's reputation had hit rock bottom, and the big shots in the business circle were all avoiding him.

His move of plucking chestnuts from the fire was a gamble; what if there was more to the donation issue than it seemed?

"Alright, talk to our Director Ma another day," Lu Shenwei said casually.

While the two were talking, they saw Zhou Wen go up on stage and say loudly: "Dear guests and friends, I am Zhou Wen, the host of this disciplinary and commendation conference."

"Director Lu, I will pay a visit another day."

Chen Qizheng said as he returned to his seat. Lu Shenwei nodded and muttered to himself: "Strange, why don't I see Bai Xiaoying?"

"She's live-streaming on the second floor, with Mu Guchan from the city station," Huang Liang said.

Bai Xiaoying's live stream room.

"Xiao Ying is now live-streaming the entire event from the venue, the provincial internet public opinion and market disciplinary and commendation conference."

[Disciplinary and commendation conference? What is that?]

[Provincial meetings can be live-streamed now?]
