Siheyuan: Yi Zhonghai was chopped off with a knife, who in the courtyard would not obey

Walking alone on the streets of Hong Kong, listening to the Cantonese around him and looking at the lights on both sides of the street, Chen Jianye had a feeling of unreality.

He set foot on the land of Hong Kong City in 63, conquered Lei Luo and Li Jiacheng, two future top bosses of Hong Kong City, and owned his first factory.

If nothing goes wrong, if he gets the agency rights for Hotkeys, he will soon be able to earn his first one million, or even his first five million.

In Chen Jianye's future planning, Mingyang Printing Factory is a media channel.

His real money-making machine is opening a factory.

We started by producing small items such as disposable tableware, plastic flowers, and tin toys. When the factory expanded, we started making pressure cookers, kettles, hot pots, non-stick pans and other household appliances and kitchen utensils.

In short, he could hardly open his eyes with such a bright future.

Back at the Ministry of Foreign Trade, Zhang Jungang and a few others gathered together and talked about going shopping in the mall after finishing their work unloading at the dock tomorrow.

The workers at the dock are paid by the piece for unloading goods. They can earn seven or eight dollars a day. If they work hard, they can even earn ten dollars.

In order to work for a few more days, they all maintained a salary of seven or eight yuan a day.

After working for three days, the three of them had saved more than 20 yuan, so they could go to the mall to see what gifts to buy for their families.

"Jianye, what have you been busy with?"

Seeing Chen Jianye coming back, Zhang Jungang and the other two stopped talking.

They were all smart and worried that talking about buying gifts for their family would make Chen Jianye unhappy.

Because Chen Jianye did not go to the dock with them to unload the goods, he naturally did not make any money.

"I've been walking around the area these past few days, getting to know the local customs and culture of Hong Kong City, and gaining a lot of knowledge."

Chen Jianye said with a smile.

"Jianye, we've been unloading goods for three days and have made a little money. If you want to join us, there's still time."

Zhang Jungang thought about it and decided to persuade him.

Otherwise, when they return, the three of them will have bought gifts, but only Chen Jianye has no money to buy a gift.

"It's okay, I have my own plans. Thank you, Comrade Jun Gang."

Chen Jianye smiled but still firmly refused.

Even though he knew that Zhang Jungang did have good intentions, he really couldn't waste his time on things like unloading cargo at the dock.

Zhang Jungang did not continue to persuade him, but instead talked about the work he came here for.

"The leadership issued a document asking us to issue a proposal for bidding for hot-selling agents and to accept bids."

"Two days later, the bidding deadline will be here. We need to call a meeting with all the bidders to assess their capabilities and attitudes. We'll then summarize the information and send it to leadership, who will then make a decision and select the new Hotkeys agency."

Zhang Jungang conveyed the message.

"If everything goes well, we'll accept bids for two days, and then we'll call them for a meeting on two days to summarize the information for leadership."

"It will take the leadership about three days to make a decision. In other words, we should have more than a week in Hong Kong City."

Cao Chai calculated the timing of various events and made an estimate.

Two days plus two days plus three days equals one week.

"That's about right. Let's calculate it based on ten days. I'm sure it will be right."

Zhang Jungang said.

Ten days is neither long nor short. Together with the past five days, it is almost half a month.

For Zhang Jungang and the other two, it was a very normal business trip.

"Comrade Jun Gang, can I write home? My child was just born not long ago. I want to let my wife know that he is safe and I also want to tell her when I will be back."

Chen Jianye made a request.

"You can write a letter, but I suggest you call our colleagues in China, and then they will pass the information to your family."

“It’s faster this way.”

Zhang Jungang said with a smile.

"When you write letters to China, they have to be opened and inspected. Now, it takes at least a week for a letter to reach Beijing."

"Call them and a colleague will bring news to your family tomorrow."

Cao Chai said.

"Where can I make a phone call?"

Chen Jianye asked, he really needed this.

"I'll take you there."

Long Qiwen volunteered.

Chen Jianye followed Long Qiwen to the lobby on the first floor of the Ministry of Foreign Trade.

"There's a phone on the first floor. You can call China directly."

"Once the call is connected, you simply state your personal information and what you want to do. The operator on the other end of the phone will record it, and someone from the department will follow up."

Long Qiwen introduced to Chen Jianye.

Chen Jianye nodded slightly and said thank you.

Come to the lobby on the first floor.

Long Qiwen briefly explained Chen Jianye's situation to the hall staff.

"Comrade Chen Jianye, this phone can be used to communicate directly with the country."

"Do you need me to call you?"

The staff member said.

"Yes, thank you."

Chen Jianye nodded.

The staff dialed the number and the call was quickly connected, and then connected to the dedicated line of the domestic Ministry of Foreign Trade.

"Hello, I'm Chen Jianye, the deputy chief engineer of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. I'm assigned by Minister Chen of the Ministry of Foreign Trade to accompany Comrade Zhang Jungang and his delegation to the port city on official business."

"I live in a courtyard house at No. 95 Nanluoguxiang. I hope the department staff can help me pass a message to my wife, telling her that I am safe in Hong Kong and have about ten days of work left. After that, I will take the boat back to Hong Kong. Please don't worry and take good care of yourself and the children."

Chen Jianye spoke calmly, trying his best to make it clearer to the operator on the other end of the phone.

"Hello Comrade Chen Jianye, I have recorded your needs. Is there anything else you would like to add?"

A clear female voice came from the other end of the phone.

"No more, thank you, operator."

Chen Jianye hung up the phone.

He did miss Ran Qiuye and his son Chen Zhongguo a little.

"Comrade Chen Jianye, how old is your child?"

Long Qiwen asked with a smile.

"Less than two months."

Chen Jianye replied.

"That's really small. No wonder you called back to report that you're safe. Your wife and children must miss you very much."

Long Qiwen sighed.

Chen Jianye smiled.

Back upstairs, he and Zhang Jungang chatted for half an hour.

The next day, Zhang Jungang and his companions did not go out to the dock to unload the goods.

The superior gave work instructions, and all three of them had to get busy.

The first step is to draft an announcement to recruit Hotkey agents, and then publish the announcement in the Hong Kong city newspaper.

Chen Jianye was also helping out.

Firstly, it was to help Zhang Jungang and others with their work, and secondly, he could take this opportunity to better understand the bidding process and the Ministry of Foreign Trade's needs for agents.

After writing the announcement, Chen Jianye and Zhang Jungang went to the newspaper together and paid to publish the information.

There are several levels of publication information, corresponding to different positions in the newspaper.

The most prominent space costs the most money.

If you put it in the corner of the newspaper, you will spend the least.

Zhang Jungang had done this kind of work before, choosing to publish investment information in the lower right corner of the newspaper.

The two of them need to visit five newspaper offices.

If the distance is close, you can walk; if the distance is far, you can take the bus.

It took Zhang Jungang and Chen Jianye three hours to finish their trip to the newspaper office.

Chen Jianye learned a lot of new things and got a glimpse into the world of Hongcheng Media.

If he founded a newspaper in the future, he could create a dedicated business section to serve as a bridge for business communication.

You can even create a business newspaper.

The most important thing in business is communication.
