"So you are Mr. Zhang. I have long heard Lao Zhu mention you as young and promising. I knew you were young, but I didn't expect you to be so young.

It's fate that we met today. It just so happens that we all go to have a meal together, how about it?"

Upon hearing that the young man in front of him was Zhang Dongsheng, Director Li's face also showed great enthusiasm, and he extended an invitation to him warmly.

Hearing this, Lao Zhu's face was somewhat embarrassed, but he did not speak and just cast an apologetic look at Zhang Dongsheng.

After all, Zhang Dongsheng came here to have fun and brought his family with him, so it was really inappropriate to invite him rashly.

Of course Director Li knew this, but he had to do this.

Good feelings can be regained through subsequent events, but if you miss this opportunity now, it will not be so easy to meet Zhang Dongsheng again in the future.

Seeing this situation, Zhou Ying very sensibly whispered something in Zhang Dongsheng's ear.

"It's getting late now, so you can go have dinner with them, and I'll go back to the hotel first.

We two don’t have enough time tomorrow."

Zhang Dongsheng nodded and could only do this. After watching Zhou Ying leave, he went to a nearby restaurant with these people.

It's not a star-rated hotel, but a specialty seafood restaurant. It specializes in a variety of seafood products, which is very local.

Of course, I'm afraid none of you here are actually here to have a meal. The main purpose is to discuss some business and build some relationships at the dinner table.

After another detailed introduction, Zhang Dongsheng realized that in addition to Lao Zhu and his son and Director Li, the other two people at the dinner were also top private entrepreneurs in Andong City.

It's just that the business is not as big as that of Lao Zhu, and of course, it can't be compared with Zhang Dongsheng.

Although Anton has beautiful scenery and a good environment, its economic development has not been strong.

This border city belongs to Liao Province, but it is not in the forefront among Liao Province, and it is not as good as Fengtian and Dalian.

That's why Director Li, who is in charge of economic development, is extremely anxious. This time he invited the bosses of these private companies to come over, mainly to talk about economic development and solving the problem of reemployment.

After all, the disintegration of state-owned enterprises is a national policy, and Anton will inevitably be affected. A large number of laid-off workers are idle, causing fluctuations in the talent market, and Director Li is counting on these people to save the situation.

The purpose of the wine bureau was simply to recruit some workers to these three companies, but the three of them looked at each other a few times, but no one let go easily.

After all, their business is not big, and it is not a good thing to expand the scale rashly.

Lao Zhu was still very motivated and promised to recruit 100 workers. Faced with such a huge gap in Anton, it was only a drop in the bucket.

After listening to them chatting for a long time, Zhang Dongsheng didn't say much. After all, he was not from Andong City, so it was not easy for him to say this.

It's just that everyone here is a good person, so naturally they won't leave him out in the cold. At the same time, Director Li sincerely hopes that Zhang Dongsheng can do something.

"Mr. Zhang, when it comes to starting your own business, I'm afraid you are the only one here who is an expert.

You must be aware of the current situation. Please see if there is any way to save these workers.

Thousands of laid-off workers represent tens of thousands of families.

These workers are the mainstay of their families, and if they suddenly lose their source of income, it will have a huge impact on all aspects of society.

Zhang Dongsheng naturally understood what Director Li said, but he couldn't say much.

But since Zhang Dongsheng was asked, it was impossible not to say anything.

"Director Li asked me these questions, but in fact the answers I could give were nothing more than clichés.

I think that to solve this problem, we can probably start from three aspects.

First, encourage self-employment. Establish some small factories, workshops, handicraft products, and light industrial products to increase income and create jobs.

Not only can it improve the economic development of some people, but it can also solve employment problems.

This also requires strong support from government departments, which can provide some low-interest or no-interest loans to families who are willing to choose employment."

Zhang Dongsheng got to the point when he opened his mouth, and Director Li's expression became much more serious. He could see that this young man really had some ability.

Zhang Dongsheng then continued:

"Second, if you don't choose to open a factory, you can also try to open some small businesses, restaurants, and food stalls like those that are very common here.

These are all ways out, and as long as we can transport our Anton's specialty seafood to other cities, the profits here are definitely not small.

The third point is much more difficult. Since the restructuring of state-owned enterprises has laid off a large number of workers, why can't we choose to open some large-scale factories?

To say something that may not sound very nice, Anton is a private company that can take advantage of it. I’m afraid these are the three companies in front of me, but they are a bit rare.”

After hearing Zhang Dongsheng's eloquent talk, Director Li nodded. Of course he knew that what Zhang Dongsheng said was reasonable, but it was not as easy as he said.

The only truly effective method is the third one, but which industries are prosperous and which industries are easier to do requires serious discussion.

If Director Li and the others still had doubts about Zhang Dongsheng's strength, then Zhu Kaitai truly recognized this young man.

So when he heard Zhang Dongsheng say this, he asked directly.

"Boss Zhang, we also understand what you are saying. It is not that easy to just start a factory and start your own business.

Your business is bigger and your knowledge is wider. Tell me what you can do to make more money."

Hearing Zhu Kaitai's words, Zhang Dongsheng was stunned for a moment, but then he smiled.

"Lao Zhu, Lao Zhu, you really have a lot on your mind. But since you asked, I will tell you.

You see, our country is rapidly developing, and heavy industry is the top industry. However, most aspects of it are in the hands of state-owned enterprises, and it is difficult for us private individuals to participate in it, as you must also know.

For us personally, spring lies in light industry and high-precision electronic products.

Technology is becoming more and more advanced, from the bb machine in the past to the mobile phone now.

From color LCD TVs to the computer field, it can be said that all aspects are inseparable from the development of electronic products.

So this turns out to be a sunrise industry in the future and an opportunity for you.”
