Siheyuan: Living in the People's Community, with a Heart for the Red Star

In the conference room of Xingbang Company's headquarters, Li Yuping sat down calmly, waiting for the verification and work arrangements from Wan Changqing and the other two.

Lin Yusheng and the other two appraised the authenticity of the silver certificate and confirmed that it was correct. They began to dismantle it one by one and divide it into tasks to be completed by each department. The group worked until after 1 a.m. before they finished the work. Everyone recorded their own tasks and left the company with their own things.

Li Yuping pushed her bicycle out and saw a car parked on the side of the road. She leaned over and saw Lao Yang resting in the car with his eyes closed. She knocked on the window to wake him up.

Lao Yang adjusted the seat, opened the door, got out of the car, put Li Yuping's bicycle in the trunk, and the two drove back to the compound.

At this time, the gate of the compound was locked. Old Yang jumped over the gatehouse and entered the yard to open the door. He and Li Yuping pushed their bicycles into the yard and locked the gate again.

They came to the west wing and knocked gently on the window, then Zhao Jingyi stood up and opened the door for them.

Zhao Jingyi said jokingly: "Hey, you two are back! I thought you two went out to spend the night."

"I actually thought that my husband didn't agree because he felt sorry for you being alone at home."

Li Yuping rarely argued with Zhao Jingyi and even assisted Lao Yang, which also surprised Zhao Jingyi very much.

As the two women spent more and more time together, they gradually became familiar with each other and recognized each other's status in the family, and the idea of ​​opposition faded. After all, they all knew that it was impossible to monopolize the other, so the idea of ​​competing for favor faded.

The three of them hurried to wash up and rest, as Li Yuping still had a lot of things to deal with tomorrow.

The short night passed quickly.

The next day, Lao Yang drove Li Yuping to the company, left the car to Li Yuping, and rode his bicycle out of the city.

Just last night, Lao Yang suddenly realized that there were some misunderstandings in his cognition. In his previous life, he lived in a peaceful era, with plenty of food and clothing. Although he was not rich, he had never experienced starvation. In his later life, he was also of extraordinary status. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he had not been persecuted or had no food to eat, so he had no experience of national disasters. After the robbery, Lao Yang felt that it was time to make some changes.

In fact, Lao Yang has always had a question for a long time, that is, during the disaster, why didn't the Chinese go out to sea to catch whales? In addition to carrying out missions, can't the navy complete the task of fishing? Isn't the original purpose of the ship to catch fish? A whale weighs dozens or hundreds of tons, and catching one is enough for the people of a city to eat.

Lao Yang decided to give it a try and take a different path. With his current skills, he could definitely show off some of his strength.

Lao Yang arrived in the west of the city and soared into the sky in a dense forest, quickly flying towards Japan. It took only ten minutes to reach the Japanese waters. Looking down from the sky, he found two Japanese whaling ships operating. Lao Yang quickly sank into the sea, swam to the bottom of the fishing boat, and put the whaling ship into the space.

All the living things on the boat fell into the ocean. Due to the large amount of whale blood in the nearby ocean, it attracted a lot of sharks. After falling into the water, the Japanese fishermen were attacked and killed by sharks.

Lao Yang killed ten sharks in the nearby sea and put three whales into the space.

Lao Yang flew at high speed close to the surface of the Japanese sea again, killing any whales he encountered and storing them in the space. Two hours later, Lao Yang had killed a total of 10 whales of various types, each of which was over 50 meters long. He also killed 4 sharks, each of which was over 20 meters long. He also caught a large number of yellow croakers and sardines, filling the remaining space with sardines, each of which was over centimeters long. This is because the marine resources are still abundant and it is too easy to catch them. Throwing a few grenades can kill a large number of sardines.

Ten minutes later, Lao Yang returned to the west city of Kyoto. After returning, he kept thinking about how to sell these fish. If they were thrown down from the air, many of them would surely break into pieces, and people might be injured or killed. As for who would pick them up and where they would fall, it was unknown. It was more likely to cause a large number of people to be superstitious, always thinking of getting something for nothing, and that pie (fish) would fall from the sky.

Old Yang rode his bicycle and looked around. He happened to see a meat processing factory beside the road. Looking at the closed door of the meat processing factory, Old Yang thought that at this time, the country's meat was still distributed through the meat processing factory. If he wanted to distribute the large amount of fish in his hands, he still needed to rely on the big net of the meat processing factory.

After finding the target, Lao Yang stopped worrying and rode his bike to find Ma Siye. Through Ma Siye, he contacted Li Zhenxiao and told him that he had a huge fortune to give away.

The Li family is very influential in government agencies. Li Zhenxiao's grandfather worked in the General Political Department, and his father was the deputy director of the General Logistics Department. Li Zhenxiao was also hired as a team leader in the Material Planning Department of the General Logistics Department. Although his position was not high, the Li family still had a relatively large influence in the General Logistics Department.

Seeing that Old Yang wanted to visit the Li family, Ma Siye did not dare to delay and immediately agreed, and took Old Yang to the Material Planning Department of the General Logistics Department to meet Li Zhenxiao. Li Zhenxiao was very happy to see Old Yang, and he ran around to serve Old Yang very comfortably.

After enjoying the meal, Lao Yang directly told Li Zhenxiao the purpose of his trip. His friend had a batch of sea fish that had been shipped to Kyoto and he hoped to find a way to sell them. I wonder if the Li family can eat them?

Li Zhenxiao patted his chest and promised that he could eat no matter how much. Lao Yang directly broke out a number of 1000 tons. Hearing this number, Li Zhenxiao and Ma Siye were immediately shocked and stopped working. It took them 5 minutes to react.

Li Zhenxiao asked tremblingly, "Master Yang, Master Yang, are you telling the truth? There are really 1000 tons! What kind of fish is it? How is the meat?"

Old Yang told the two mysteriously, "I have a friend whose master has learned a preservation method that can keep meat from spoiling in a short period of time. So this time they secretly transported 1000 tons of sardines from the seaside. After transporting them, they found that they had no way to sell them, so they found me. Among the people I know, only the Li family has such great ability. I can sell them to you at a price of 1 yuan per catty, but the price of these fish sold in the market cannot exceed 1 yuan per catty. This is also the basis of our cooperation, and the difference in price is for you to manage the relationship between all parties!"

After listening to this, Li Zhenxiao paced back and forth in the room, unable to calm down his excitement.

After about 10 minutes, he finally controlled his emotions. He said to Old Yang honestly: "Master Yang, I can no longer make the decision on this matter. I will take you to see my father immediately and you can talk to him in person. We will never lose to Master Yang in terms of price. This will earn a lot of political capital for our Li family. It is our honor that Mr. Yang can think of us at this time!"

Li Zhenxiao walked to the table, picked up the phone, dialed a number, asked a few questions, hung up, and said to Lao Yang: "My father is in the office. I will take you to discuss it with my father in person."

After that, he took the key from the table and led the two out of the office, locked the door and walked upstairs. In a large office on the third floor of the West Building of the General Logistics Department, Lao Yang met Li Zhenxiao's father, Li Kaihui.

Li Kaihui is a middle-aged man with vigorous spirit and bright eyes. He is obviously a person of extraordinary wisdom. He looks at Lao Yang with a scrutinizing look, trying to see through him.

Li Zhenxiao explained the purpose of Lao Yang's visit. Li Kaihui was also shocked by Lao Yang's purpose. Someone secretly transported 1000 tons of sea fish into Kyoto without being discovered. This was such an incredible thing.

Li Kaihui’s first thought was that it was impossible, absolutely impossible. This was an excuse for someone to get close to her. He was an aggressive speculator!

After all, he was an old comrade who had been in the officialdom, so he calmed down instantly. A low-quality lie would be exposed once it was poked, and you would know if there was any sea fish after trying it. Even if there was no sea fish, it would not have much impact on me, and I immediately had a plan in my mind.

With a smile on his face, he said to Lao Yang: "We have eaten this batch of fish, but I don't know how to trade and how to pay?"

Lao Yang was eager to open up channels to the upper level, and he did not worry about whether the other party was testing him or trying to trick him. As long as he handed over the fish, he could solve the meat problem for 200 million people. As long as it did not affect his ultimate goal, any link in the middle could be ignored.

"These sea fish will be delivered to you in batches. I will inform you of the specific delivery location one hour before the transaction. The delivery volume mainly depends on your transportation and sales capabilities. I don't want to see the fish rot in the warehouse! After each transaction, pay the previous payment before the next delivery."

Li Kaihui and Li Zhenxiao were stunned when they heard the conditions proposed by Lao Yang. These conditions were too good for them. This was completely a welfare. However, Li Kaihui quickly realized that if he didn't do it with such favorable conditions, he would be a fool. At worst, he could give it a try. If he could get on this line, it would not be impossible for him to move up on his own.

"Okay! Since Master Yang has given such conditions, it would be unkind and ungrateful if I don't agree. I will immediately calculate the transportation capacity of the department. Then let Zhen Xiao inform you that we should complete a transaction as soon as possible to find a breakthrough and further expand sales! I just don't know if the cooperation is just for this 1000 tons, or a continuous supply!?"

"As long as the General Logistics Department has the capacity to take it or has a good way to store it, we can transport 1000 tons of fish at any time. But I want to make it clear in advance that this is not a reserve material, but a preparation for the general public. I hope Minister Li will put the people first and distribute the fish as soon as possible! If the cooperation is pleasant, it can continue."

Li Kaihui is of course an old hand at politics. Old Yang didn't want to have too much contact with people who were involved in politics, so he stood up and left the office with Li Zhenxiao. Li Zhenxiao sent Old Yang and Ma Siye out of the General Logistics Department together. Looking at the two people leaving, Li Zhenxiao felt emotional: when we just met, we were at loggerheads, but now he is my benefactor. If I had made a mistake at that time, it might have caused serious consequences. Fortunately, I reconciled with him at that time!

Li Zhenxiao hurried back to Li Kaihui's office, and the father and son had a secret discussion about the next cooperation, in order to maximize the benefits of the next cooperation and gain more political capital. The father and son studied for an hour before they determined the specific plan for the first delivery.

After Li Zhenxiao returned, he drove out of the General Logistics Department to inform Lao Yang to trade sea fish tonight. He would try to pull 10 tons for the first time, and the time would be around 8pm.

By this time, Lao Yang had already parted ways with Mr. Ma Si and rode his bicycle back to the slum.

After having lunch with the bored Zhao Jingyi, the two decided to go to the park in the afternoon. As they pushed their bicycles out of the compound and prepared to go to Houhai Park, they were blocked at the door by Li Zhenxiao and Ma Siye.

Li Zhenxiao took Lao Yang to the corner to inform him of the transaction arrangements for the evening. Lao Yang told him that he would be notified where to pick up the goods at 7 o'clock in the evening.

Li Zhenxiao and Lao Yang discussed in detail how to contact Lao Yang for future transactions: if Lao Yang was needed for a transaction, someone would be arranged to come to Lao Yang one day in advance to make arrangements; if Lao Yang was looking for Li Zhenxiao, he would just call directly. After Li Zhenxiao left his home and office phone numbers, Lao Yang rode his bike and took Zhao Jingyi away.

Li Zhenxiao also suggested that Lao Yang install a phone so that it would be more convenient to find Lao Yang, but Lao Yang told him directly that he was often not at home. Moreover, the house was not fixed and was only a temporary residence. It was meaningless to call someone who might not answer the phone. Li Zhenxiao planned to arrange someone in the courtyard to specifically guard the phone and pass on the message to Lao Yang. Lao Yang did not refuse and let the other party handle it. In the end, the matter fell on Ma Siye.

Old Yang took Zhao Jingyi to the parking lot of Beihai Park and stored the bicycle. The two of them carried a food basket and began to wander around the park, pointing at the lush trees and the green lake. Every few dozen meters by the lake in the park, there was an old man sitting on a stool and fishing leisurely. Occasionally, you can see old people sitting together playing chess in the park. In the small square, you can see passionate young men and women chasing and playing together.

Zhao Jingyi led Lao Yang across a small stone bridge and sat down on a grassy area near the lake. He took out some snacks from the food basket and ate while chatting about life in Hong Kong and family members. Lao Yang also patiently introduced Haitang and the others to Zhao Jingyi one by one, and from time to time he would be beaten by Zhao Jingyi, complaining that he was being lenient.

Just as the two were laughing and joking, seven or eight people suddenly rushed out from the path behind them. When they saw the two, they surrounded them aggressively.

The leader shouted loudly: "Brother Yang, is that you?"

The two looked back and saw that the person leading the group was Zhang Haiyang. This guy had an excited look on his face and was dancing with joy, leading a group of men and women towards Lao Yang, as if he had found some incredible treasure!

"It's great to meet Brother Yang and Sister Li... Zhao today!"

Zhang Haiyang was walking and talking when he suddenly realized that it was not Li Yuping but Zhao Jingyi. He quickly changed his words, but he didn't know what to say next. He rubbed his hands awkwardly and complimented Zhao Jingyi:

"Sister Zhao, I'm really happy to see you today. I didn't expect to meet Sister Zhao at the same time as Brother Yang! Come over here and say hello to Brother Yang and Sister Zhao!"

"Hello, Sister Zhao! Hello, Brother Yang!"

A group of young people who came with Zhang Haiyang shouted in unison.

After the group finished shouting, they all looked at the two eagerly.

Zhang Haiyang waved his hand and ordered, "Everyone, please sit down. Let's chat with Brother Yang and Sister Zhao!"

A group of people sat around the two of them. After a few people sat down, they began to look at the food baskets at the feet of Lao Yang and Zhao Jingyi, their eyes full of desire.
