After hearing these words, Director Yao of the New Materials Research Institute put down his chopsticks and said, "Mr. Guan, Changda Group will bear all expenses. This is clearly stipulated in the cooperation agreement. What do you mean by raising this question now?"

"Director Yao, you should remember that the cooperation agreement stipulates that the premise for Changda Group to bear all costs is before the battery project generates economic benefits. Now, the project has been put into operation for more than half a year. As far as I know, from the third

There will be profits every month, so I think that starting from the month when the profit is achieved, the expenses incurred by the double launch should be recorded separately and borne by each." Guan Yuntiandao.

"You mean that starting from this year, we will keep separate accounts and bear the expenses separately?" Lao Qin also paid close attention to this matter.

"Yes, although Changda Group and the New Materials Research Institute are partners, the battery project has already made profits. Now we should settle the accounts clearly between brothers, and one code should be returned to the other. And this is what the financial system requires, you said

Really?" Guan Yuntian asked, pointing to the financial director of the New Materials Research Institute next to Lao Qin.

"Oh, there are regulations in this regard, but most companies don't implement them very well." The financial director of the other party heard what Guan Yuntian meant, and he tried to downplay the problem.

"However, the New Materials Research Institute is not an ordinary enterprise. Although Changda Group is a private enterprise, it has a very formal management system. Therefore, the cooperation agreement should be strictly implemented. I ask the three leaders to understand this."

Lao Yao heard it clearly, "Mr. Guan, is it true that the expenses we incurred this time will be borne by the New Materials Research Institute itself?"

"The upcoming year-end summary meeting should involve the issue of profit distribution this year. If everything goes well, you can take the profits back this time. According to the provisions of the cooperation agreement, you should bear the expenses this time. Of course, tonight

This meal is our courtesy as landlords, and Changda Group pays for it," said Guan Yuntian.

"No wonder they let us stay in such a high-end hotel. It turned out that we paid for it ourselves. Thank you Mr. Guan for your kindness!" Lao Yao joked.

"What do you want to think about your affairs at that time? Leaders, we did not take good care of you in the past, and I have offended you so much. Please forgive me. I respect you all!" Guan Yuntian picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

Facing fine wine and delicacies, Lao Qin and Lao Yao tasted like wax in their mouths. They had no appetite at all, and the whole wine party was tasteless.

Guan Yuntian is not a miser, nor is he a stingy person. Even to ordinary customers, Changda Group is generous and generous. They have always treated high-level partners like the New Materials Research Institute with courtesy and paid each other's entertainment expenses, travel expenses and

Accommodation fees were previously reimbursed by Changda Group. In the future, they can also be included in the cost of battery production, which will be borne by both parties.

However, Vice President Qin of the New Materials Research Institute deliberately made trouble regarding the patent signature of the used battery recycling and processing technology, which made Guan Yuntian feel disgusted with him. Since Lao Qin was so disrespectful, Guan Yuntian felt that there would be no need for it in the future.

I was polite to him, and separated the accounts clearly according to the cooperation agreement. Now the battery project has achieved economic benefits, and any expenses incurred will be borne by each party.

Afterwards, Guan Yuntian told the staff of Changda Group that unless otherwise specified, all expenses incurred by the leaders or staff of the New Materials Research Institute would be accounted for separately and deducted from each other's profits when dividends are distributed at the end of the year.

...

One day at around nine o'clock in the morning, Guan Yuntian's cell phone rang. He picked it up and asked, "Who is this?"

"Hello, Mr. Guan! I am Lao Xu."

"Old Xu? Oh, Mr. Xu, what can I do for you?"

"Are you in the office? I want to report something to you in person."

"I'm in the office, come on."

After a while, Lao Xu, the administrative director of Changda Group and the person in charge of the agricultural project in the northern mountainous area, pushed in the door and said, "I

I was afraid that you were not in the office, so I called you on your mobile phone." Lao Xu explained as he walked in.

"It's okay, you can sit down." Guan Yuntian stood up, made a cup of tea, put it in front of Lao Xu, pulled up a chair and sat across from him, "What can you do?"

"Two or three years ago, I heard rumors from villagers in the northern mountainous area that there were mineral deposits under the mountains contracted by Changda Group." Old Xu picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

"This matter, I heard old people occasionally talk about it when I was a child." Guan Yuntian didn't take it seriously at all.

"Now, this rumor has started again, and many villagers regard it as a big deal. When they meet me, they ask about it."

"You are a foreigner, just pretend you don't know anything and ignore those people."

"It's easy for the villagers to deal with it. The problem is that some township cadres also take this seriously. The leaders of the three townships involved in our contracting of the mountainous areas have all asked me about this matter."

"Oh, what did they say?" Guan Yuntian said.

"According to what they mean, they want to apply for mining the mineral deposits under the mountains."

"Applying to mine mineral deposits under the mountains----will it have any impact on us?"

"Not only does it have an impact, but it has a huge impact! Think about it, the depth of the mineral deposits varies. If it is buried deep, it may not have much impact on the ground during mining. If the vein is shallow, the surface land must be removed. Doesn't this have an impact?

"Lao Xu said.

"Yes, yes, I have a deep understanding of this. When I started my business, I fired red bricks. Although the surface land was not needed to make bricks, the surface land was eventually destroyed, and all brick factories were punished by the soil management supervision department." Guan

Yuntian still vividly remembers his initial experience in starting a business.

"Not only that, regardless of the depth of the mineral deposits, any mining operation must have a mineral processing process, and a supporting mineral processing plant must be built. This mineral processing plant not only covers a large area, but also consumes an amazing amount of water. The large amount of sewage generated cannot be discharged casually.

We also need to build a sedimentation tank for mineral processing wastewater. Once these facilities are built, our spade groves and mountainous areas used for growing Chinese medicinal materials will not be much left."

"So, this matter has a great impact on our agricultural project!" Guan Yuntian suddenly became alert.

"In addition, all the transport vehicles in the mines are heavy trucks. None of the roads we built can withstand the pressure of heavy trucks. In less than a month, the roads in the northern mountainous areas will return to their previous appearance.

." Old Xu said worriedly.

"Yes, if underground mineral deposits are really mined, it will cause devastating damage to agricultural projects on the ground. However, there is no need to take it too seriously when it comes to folklore."

"If it's just folklore, I won't report it to you. Now not only the cadres of three towns have talked to me about this matter, but it is said that the county's functional departments and a certain deputy county magistrate also have the intention to mine underground mineral deposits!"

Lao Xu said seriously.

"Really? It seems we need to pay more attention to it!" Seeing the look on Lao Xu's face when he spoke, Guan Yuntian realized the seriousness of the problem.

"Unless the Changda Group abandons its agricultural projects in the northern mountainous areas, it should pay attention immediately." Lao Xu said.

"Although the agricultural project in the northern mountainous area only has an annual output value of 30 to 400 million yuan and a profit of only 30 to 50 million yuan, it is not considered the main business of Changda Group at all. However, this project is of great significance and has spent considerable energy and investment.

We have used a lot of resources, how can we give up such a project casually! I understand the situation, let me think about how to deal with it."

After Lao Xu left, Guan Yuntian picked up the phone. He wanted to find the two junior high school classmates in the same village to understand the situation. Yang Wenrui is now a middle-level manager of Changda Group and is fully responsible for vegetable oil production. Another classmate, Guan Chengguang, is still

Guan Yuntian's elder is now a grassroots manager.

Yang Wenrui's job is in the development zone, not far from Changda Building, and it takes about ten minutes to get to Guan Yuntian

Office, "Mr. Guan, do you have anything to do with me?" Wen Rui asked timidly.

"It's nothing serious. You sit down and drink tea and do it yourself. Wen Rui, has your family moved into the city? Are you living in the county now or have you always lived in the village?" Guan Yuntian said.

Yang Wenrui took the paper cup, took a glass of water from the water dispenser, and sat down next to the coffee table. "I bought a house in the county the year before last. I lived in the city when I went to work. I had to go back to the countryside for rest, because there were still houses and a village in the village.

It’s a lot of acres of land. But I also bought a car and the roads are well built. It only takes about 40 minutes to get from the city to the village, which is very convenient.”

After doing some housework for a while, Guan Chengguang opened the door and came in. Although he was a classmate in middle school, he was an elder in terms of seniority, and his brain was more flexible than Yang Wenrui's, but he had evil intentions. Guan Yuntian never thought highly of this old classmate.

"Yuntian, do you have a problem with me?" Because the last few times he came to see him, he was punished by Guan Yuntian for making mistakes. This time he suddenly found him in the office, and Guan Chengguang thought he had done something wrong again.

"It's okay, sit down, I want to chat with you two. Have you heard about the underground mineral deposits in the northern mountainous area?" Guan Yuntian said.

"This matter, when we were children, we heard from adults that there were mines underground in the northern mountainous area. It is said that people came to investigate in the 1950s and 1960s." Guan Chengguang always comes up with this kind of thing faster than Yang Wenrui.

"I mean now, recently, have any villagers talked about this?"

"There are very few villagers working in the vegetable oil factory. I haven't heard anyone say it. I have heard people in the village talk about it, but as Cheng Guang said, this matter has been circulated for decades. The villagers

I mentioned it occasionally, just casually." Yang Wenrui said.

"As villagers born and raised in the northern mountainous areas, do you think it is necessary to mine any mineral deposits?"

"This..." Guan Chengguang and Yang Wenrui didn't know what Guan Yuntian meant by saying this. They looked at each other and said in unison: "We have never considered this matter."

"I'll let you think about it now. Do you think it's necessary? Or what benefits does mining underground minerals have for you and the villagers?"

"Benefits----?" Yang Wenrui stretched out his hand and scratched his head, "The mineral deposits belong to the country, and the villagers must not be allowed to mine them without permission. Besides, mining underground is also very dangerous. The government must come forward to mine, and the villagers have to do it."

If I had to choose between working and working, I would rather work in a factory than in a mine. Even if the salary is higher, the environment is far different."

Guan Yuntian nodded, "Where is Cheng Guang? What do you think?"

Guan Chengguang thought that the Changda Group was going to exploit the mineral deposits there, so he was extra cautious and said flatteringly: "I will obey the leadership's orders, and I will go wherever the leader asks me to go."

"Which leader do you follow? It's not that I want to mine mineral deposits. I'm asking you for your opinion on this matter. Just speak from the perspective of a villager." Guan Yuntian said angrily.

"Oh, that's what you mean. If you ask me, mining will definitely destroy the surface of the earth. There are spade trees and Chinese medicinal materials everywhere on the hillside. It's a pity to destroy it. The villagers now have jobs and live and work in peace and contentment. Let's leave those mineral deposits.

It won't hurt to mine in the future." Guan Chengguang said.

"How different do you think the other villagers' ideas are from yours?"

"It is impossible for the villagers to have the same ideas, but if they are asked to choose a job, I think the vast majority will choose a factory, unless the wages in the mines are much higher and someone is trying to earn higher wages." Yang Wenrui said.

Guan Yuntian values ​​Yang Wenrui's views even more because he comes entirely from his heart and neither speculates on the leader's intentions nor conceals his true thoughts.
