Movie Variety Show: Starting from a New World

Chapter 1258 Xu Banxia's Invitation

"Sister Zhao, Mr. Tan, President Bao, I would like to invite you to Binzhou to take a look at my storage yard. That way, we can cooperate better, right?" Xu Banxia said to Wei Hong after finishing her meal.

As for why Wei Qing wasn't invited? Because Wei Qing was called away before he even had a meal; there was a company meeting, so now only the five of them are here.

"Abao, Xiao Tan, what do you say? Should we go take a look?" Wei Hong didn't answer directly, but asked Tan Zongming and Abao instead.

"Big sister, it would be nice to go and take a look! I just don't know if it's convenient for you two today?" Abao said with a smile.

"I'm fine. My older sister is treating me to dinner today, and I've already canceled all my plans for this afternoon!" Tan Zongming said with a smile.

"Alright, let's go take a look! But I need to make a phone call first!" Wei Hong said helplessly, looking at Tan Zongming and A Bao.

After all, she was the one who spearheaded this whole thing. Since the two of them wanted to investigate, it wouldn't be right for me not to go along. It would also be a good opportunity to see Xu Banxia's capabilities, since not hearing a report and actually seeing it are two different things.

"Old Yang, I'm going to Binzhou this afternoon with A Bao and Tan Zongming. Remember to pick up your son from school!" Wei Hong said, picking up the phone.

"Do I still need to pick up the child after school? He didn't ride his bike today?" Yang Jianguo asked curiously.

“The kid’s on his bike, but you’d better pick him up. After all, don’t you know what kind of person your son is these days? If you don’t keep an eye on him, it’s already a miracle he’s home before nine o’clock to do his homework!” Wei Hong said, pursing her lips.

"Okay, I'll go pick him up!" Yang Jianguo, on the other end of the phone, could only helplessly agree to pick up the child after hearing Wei Hong's words.

"Alright, let's go!" Wei Hong said as she walked back to the group after hanging up the phone.

So the group of five people in three cars started heading towards Binzhou.

Binzhou is less than two hours away from Shanghai, which is relatively close.

Xu Banxia's storage yard is located in the suburbs of Binzhou, not far from the dock, and about the same distance from the city center and the dock.

Wei Hong rode in A Bao's car, Tan Zongming was driven by a driver, and Xu Banxia and Chen Yuzhou were in another car.

"Big sister, do you really think highly of Xu Banxia?" Abao asked curiously as he drove.

“Abao, you’re now in real estate and starting to move into manufacturing. So, given our country’s development speed, how big do you think the steel shortage will be in the future? Banxia’s company is actually a golden goose! If it weren’t for the cash flow problems, do you think you and Xiao Tan would have had the opportunity to get involved?” Wei Hong asked with a smile.

"That's definitely not the case! After all, everyone knows that making 100 million in real business and making 100 million in the stock market are two completely different things!" Abao said with a smile.

"So, once this batch of steel is processed properly, you and Banxia can continue to buy scrap steel from the Black Sea. Those are all special alloy materials. It's much faster to smelt and process them directly after you get them back than to simply remelt steel from iron ore!" Wei Hong said with a smile.

“I know all that. I’m just curious why you think so highly of this girl named Xu Banxia?” Abao asked.

“I think it’s fate that I’m optimistic about her, Abao. You know the current national policies for the children of cadres like us, right?” Wei Hong asked.

"I know that."

"So we need to support some of our close friends and family to engage in business activities! This Xu Banxia is the person I want to support. She comes from humble beginnings, is daring and hardworking, and most importantly, I can see that this girl is a loyal and righteous person, just like you. Wei Qing has told me about you and him more than once!" Wei Hong said with a smile.

"Big sister, your family's children are a breath of fresh air! In recent years, I've met some children of high-ranking officials, and although there are many good ones, most of them are still spoiled brats!" Abao sighed.

“There was nothing we could do about it. Back then, when my father led us, his adult children, to the battlefield in southern Xinjiang, he said that conquering the country was easy, but maintaining it was not. No matter what others were like, as children of the Zhao family, we had to abide by the bottom line. At that time, we didn’t understand, but seeing what some people are doing now, we understand the meaning of what my father said to me back then!” Wei Hong couldn’t help but recall.

“Grandpa is truly a role model! My uncle once told me that if all the country’s top leaders were like your grandpa, then we would be the lucky ones for our country!” Abao said with emotion.

Soon, the group got off the highway and arrived in Binzhou City. The vehicle quickly arrived at Xu Banxia's storage yard. However, from a distance, they saw that something had happened at the storage yard, and many people were gathered around watching the commotion.

Xu Banxia and Chen Yuzhou didn't look too good. They had invited guests today, but something had happened at the storage yard, which made Xu Banxia feel a burning pain on her face.

As soon as the car stopped, Xu Banxia opened the door and ran into the storage yard.

Pushing aside the crowd of onlookers, Xu Banxia saw Tong Xiaoqi and his convoy confronting a group of people.

"Tong Xiaoqi! What are you doing?" Xu Banxia shouted.

"Sister, you're finally back! These people actually tried to haul away the scrap steel from the yard!" As soon as Tong Xiaoqi saw Xu Banxia, ​​he seemed to have found his pillar of support and accused her.

"Guo Qidong, what do you mean?" Xu Banxia asked, her face grim, as she looked at Guo Qidong and a group of creditors opposite her.

"Mr. Xu, I have no choice. At this point, in order to minimize my losses, I have no other option but to resort to this measure! After all, the price of steel has dropped by another twenty yuan today! I have no choice!" Guo Qidong adjusted his glasses and said with a smile.

“The principal and interest I owe you is only 1.3 million! What do you mean by this?” Xu Banxia said, pointing at the large trucks.

It turns out that apart from the scrap steel that Xu Banxia imported from the Black Sea, the entire yard is now full of large trucks. Obviously, Guo Qidong had called them all. This doesn't look like debt collection; it looks like ransacking the place!

“Zhao Kai’s company offered you 400 yuan per ton. As an old friend, I certainly can’t let you suffer a loss! So I plan to buy all 50,000 tons of your scrap steel at 450 yuan per ton! In addition to deducting the money you owe me, I will give you an extra 21.2 million yuan. This way, you can pay off your debt and dispose of the scrap steel at the same time. Isn’t that killing two birds with one stone?” Guo Qidong said with a smile.

"Are you taking advantage of my misfortune?" Xu Banxia said through gritted teeth.

“President Xu, how can this be considered taking advantage of someone’s misfortune? I’m doing this for your own good, aren’t I? There’s no point in you stubbornly resisting like this, is there?” Guo Qidong said.
