Laying the foundation ceremony of Chapter 29

  Duan Lei originally wanted to leave Haicheng for the first time after the holiday, but plans often couldn't keep up with changes, and some unexpected situations still made Duan Lei temporarily stop his footsteps from returning home.

  Today, about 500 meters away from the Makka Biological Base, colorful flags are flying high, and drums are beating loudly. A company is holding a groundbreaking ceremony here. Actually, some municipal construction teams under Linhai Town have been leveling the land, building cement roads leading to the main highway, installing streetlights, laying water and electricity pipes - fiber optic cables...

  However, these construction teams are relatively low-key and did not hold any grand groundbreaking ceremonies, so only the villagers in Cai Village were wondering what these construction teams were doing, and outsiders did not pay attention to this place. After a period of intense construction, this place has been transformed into a flat industrial land that can accommodate enterprises at any time.

  To match the production schedule of MaKa Biology, Gu YuLiang decided to start building a dust-free workshop in early July, so that when Duan Lei can provide mirror metal materials, production can be started.

  Unlike He Duanwei, who tried to keep a low profile, Gu Yuliang started sending out invitations at the beginning of the construction, in order to quickly build up the company's reputation and lay a good foundation for future operations. On this day, not only did his childhood friend, Deputy Director Cao Shaokun, attend the groundbreaking ceremony, but also the leaders of Linhai Town, and even a secretary from the Municipal Water Affairs Bureau was invited to cut the ribbon for the foundation-laying ceremony.

  To the friends in the business circle, partners of Hai Da Jian Gong - family friends and some units from Pujiang District have also come. The balloons hanging on the construction site are full of streamers, making it a lively scene. Although the nominal owner of this factory is Gu Yuliang's wife, everyone came for Gu Yuliang's face.

  Looking at the construction site decorated like a concert venue, looking at the foundation-laying monument in front of the venue, and seeing the brand-new iron shovel tied with red silk next to the monument, Duan Lei couldn't help but sigh.

  Duan Lei originally wanted to go home with Li Er, but Gu Yu Liang pulled him over, insisting that he stay and watch the ceremony. He could only come over to broaden his horizons. However, most of the guests who came to celebrate were people Duan Lei didn't know, and as the host, Gu Yu Liang was busy running around, so Duan Lei could only sit in a corner, listlessly watching the performance of an orchestra on stage.

  Chinese people like excitement, everything is for celebration, so no matter the size of the company, when starting work or laying foundation, they all need to be lively. White Cloud Grandma said that they are all popular among large and medium-sized enterprises.

  Perhaps the celebration industry is the only one in China that can occupy a leading position in the world, and like the shanzhai industry, it is our characteristic.

  "Duan Zong, who is enjoying the show?" Just as Duan Rui was savoring the performance on stage, a voice suddenly sounded in his ear.

  "It turned out that Director Cao just called me Little Duan!" Duan Lei turned his head to look, hastily stood up, grasped the hand already extended by Cao Shao Kun, and asked: "When did Mayor Che arrive?"

  Although Cao Shaoshen is the deputy head, Duan Yue would not be so ignorant as to call him Deputy Head Cao... He was still very aware of this taboo in official circles.

  "Just arrived, saw Director Duan being leisurely and couldn't help but come over to disturb him!" After shaking hands with Duan Lei, Cao Shaokun naturally sat down beside him and started chatting.

  Ever since the completion ceremony of Ma Ka's new workshop, Cao Shaokun has been thinking about how to get in touch with Duan Lei and establish a better relationship. At that time, Duan Lei was too busy, and Cao Shaokun didn't have the chance to talk to him much, they just exchanged a few words and left an impression on each other.

  Today, I was invited to attend the groundbreaking ceremony of Gu Yu Liang's new factory. Cao Shao Kun came not only to celebrate but also thinking about whether he could strike up a conversation with Duan Lei. Although he is now a deputy district head at the level of a department head, when he thinks of the connections behind Duan Lei, he really doesn't dare to show off. If it were an ordinary day and he asked Duan Lei out for tea or something, it would seem too abrupt. Borrowing the opportunity of the groundbreaking ceremony, it seems more natural.

  After all, Cao Shaokun and Gu Yuliang have a close relationship, knowing what's going on with this factory today, Duan Lei will definitely appear at the ceremony scene, and he did.

  Then, Cao Shaokun entered the venue and greeted some familiar guests before leaving his secretary behind and walking straight towards Duan Lei. No matter what, Duan Lei's height and appearance made him stand out like a firefly on a dark night, even when he was hiding in a corner.

  Before the deputy secretary-general of the Municipal Water Affairs Bureau arrived at the meeting, Cao Shaokun was indeed the highest-ranking person on site. Many business people, especially entrepreneurs under the jurisdiction of Pujiang District, wanted to talk to Cao Shaokun. However, when everyone saw Cao Shaokun ignore them and go chat with Duan Lei alone, they were all shocked and speculated about Duan Lei's identity.

  Feeling the gaze of everyone on himself, Duan Yue was indeed a bit uncomfortable, but thinking about Cao Shaokun's identity, Duan Yue could only endure and chat with Cao Shaokun.

  Cao Shaokun had been in the officialdom for nearly twenty years and had become a seasoned politician, knowing how to break the ice and eliminate the awkward atmosphere between the two sides.

  "Director Duan, what kind of building materials will this factory produce in the future?" Cao Shaokun smiled and pointed to Gu Yuliang, who was busy near the main water printing platform, and said with a smile: "I asked him several times, but he was evasive and didn't explain to me what mirror surface metal is."

  Cao Shaokun was last deceived by Gu Yuliang, saying that this mirror metal would become a pioneering building material, but he couldn't figure out the specific parameters of the mirror metal, making him anxious. Hearing that Gu Yuliang said that this mirror metal was made by Duan Lei, Cao Shaokun naturally wanted to take this opportunity to chat with Duan Lei, which is also an important part of social etiquette.

  "The mirror metal is a nanoscale building material made from the combination of metal and glass fibers, which can replace the widely used high-strength glass steel in high-rise buildings. Not only is it energy-saving and environmentally friendly, but it also has stronger safety features!" Duan Lei pulled out a small piece of mirror metal from his pocket and handed it to Cao Shaokun, saying: "Director Cao, look at this mirror metal, it won't leave any stains and can save a lot on cleaning costs."

  Since the development of mirror metal, Duan Lei has specially made a small piece to carry with him, somewhat enjoying the Macan civilization.

  He carefully took the mirror-like metal from Duan Lei's hand, and Cao Shaokun immediately felt that this metal was different from ordinary metals. It wasn't cold like other metals, but had a slightly warm feeling. The front of the metal was like a silver mirror, and Cao Shaokun saw his reflection almost perfectly, even better than a mirror. The thickness of the metal was much thinner than a sheet of paper, but its strength was very high, and no matter how hard Cao Shaokun tried to bend it, he couldn't move it at all. When he flipped it over, Cao Shaokun suddenly discovered that from this side, he could actually see through the other side of the metal, even clearer than an automobile's windshield.

  As he flipped through this small piece of mirror-like metal, Cao Shaokun suddenly realized that it was a bit like high-end one-way glass, but in terms of thickness, texture and weight, it was slightly better. No wonder even building experts like Gu Yuliang considered this product to be the epitome of innovation for the era. "Director Duan is truly accomplished at a young age!" Cao Shaokun exclaimed as he handed the mirror-like metal back to Duan Lei, asking: "What will be the approximate selling price of this mirror-like metal in the future?"

  Cao Shaokun is not that kind of incompetent official who only knows how to eat and drink. As a strong and capable person, he also understands that high-tech does not necessarily mean marketization. Many technologies are very advanced, but due to their high prices or the need for high-end supporting conditions, they often hinder the process of marketization. From the current situation, mirror metal is indeed very good, but if the price is too high, Cao Shaokun does not look optimistic about its prospects.

  "This metal will likely be more expensive than the top-of-the-line fiberglass currently available, after all, it has relatively stringent requirements for production environment and raw materials." Seeing Cao Shaokun hit the nail on the head, Duan Lei nodded in agreement and continued: "The key to solving the problem now is that Dean Gu can open up the market as soon as possible. Once production increases, costs will also decrease accordingly."

  Although he became Tang Lier's boyfriend, Duan Lei never had the idea of taking advantage of the Tang family's power. Therefore, for Cao Shaokun, a government official from the Ministry of Water and Land, he still needed to maintain a relatively respectful attitude. After all, when doing business in the country, with the care of government officials, many unnecessary troubles can be avoided. So Duan Lei introduced some situations about mirror metal to Cao Shaokun as much as possible.

  It's just like the last time at the new workshop of the base, the leaders of Linhai Town saw that Makabiology was able to invite a deputy district head to attend, so they didn't dare to be too slow. Whether it's various functional departments of the town government or units such as water and electricity, telecommunications, the service attitude is very good, and there are rarely delays. Even the patrol car from the police station would occasionally drive by Makabiology's base, which made some thieves who wanted to steal building materials from the construction site dare not to make a move easily.

  "Magka Bio, which can drive the development of surrounding enterprises. I will report to the district committee and government after returning, and strive for some deserved preferential policies for Magka Bio!" The sedan chair has someone to carry it, and Cao Shaokun naturally won't miss this opportunity to get closer to Duan Lei.

  "Then I'd like to thank Director Cao first!" Duane Lui hurriedly expressed his gratitude upon hearing Cao Shaokun's statement.

  These policy benefits are not available for free. With the support of the government, the development of Makabio will be able to eliminate some unnecessary resistance in the future!

  Just as the two were engaged in an eager conversation, the Deputy Secretary-General of the Municipal Government finally arrived late, and the ceremony began with great fanfare!
