Rebirth in 1980, the rise of the golden age

For this dinner, Li Youcai not only prepared good wine.

I also specially picked some large female forest frogs and crayfish at home.

The next day, after Li Youcai delivered the goods to the aquatic products company, he asked his father Li Guanghu to return to the team first.

He took his things to Beiwei Restaurant to prepare.

A little after 4pm.

Wei Guoqing came to Beiwei Restaurant carrying a briefcase.

Li Youcai finally met Director Wei.

Wei Guoqing was not born on National Day. Instead, he changed his name to this on the day when New China was founded when he was ten years old.

There was no household registration at that time, and the name was really just a code name that could be changed at will.

I guess he himself didn't expect that this change would result in him having the same name as tens of thousands of people.

Wei Guoqing has a genuine pig kidney face, with small but bright eyes.

In the box.

Seeing Gao Dapeng leading someone in, Li Youcai and Wang Changlin both stood up.

"Come on, let me introduce you to everyone. This is Director Wei from the flour mill. He is my old friend." As the host, Gao Dapeng began to introduce everyone.

After Wei Guoqing entered the room, he immediately looked at the two people in the box.

Wang Changlin was wearing a neatly tailored Zhongshan suit with two pens in his left pocket, looking very impressive.

You can tell at first glance that he is someone within the system.

Li Youcai was dressed in a suit, looked young and well-dressed.

"Nice to meet you."

"Director Wei, this is Section Chief Wang from the Aquatic Products Company, and he was also my former squad leader when I was in the army."

"I'm Wang Changlin, nice to meet you."

Wang Changlin shook hands with Wei Guoqing.

Gao Dapeng continued to introduce: "This is Li Youcai from Dongfeng Commune. He is the old squad leader and my younger brother."

"Hello, Director Wei, I am Li Youcai. Please give me your guidance in the future." Li Youcai took the initiative to extend his hand and shook hands with Wei Guoqing.

"You are a handsome young man, but I don't deserve your guidance."

Wei Guoqing was not arrogant either.

The person who organized the party in this room was the manager of a state-owned restaurant, and the person who accompanied him was the section chief of a fishery company. Although the victim looked young, he could ask these two people to help him with his affairs, so it goes without saying that they had good connections.

"We are all family, so don't be polite. Please sit down..." Gao Dapeng invited everyone to sit down.

Pulling out a chair, Gao Dapeng invited Wei Guoqing to the main seat.

"This is not appropriate." Wei Guoqing declined.

In theory, Gao Dapeng was the organizer of this dinner and the host of the restaurant, so he should take the main seat.

"Old Wei, please don't be polite." Gao Dapeng held Wei Guoqing's arm and pushed him to the main seat.

This is considered to give Wei Guoqing enough face.

Wei Guoqing is also a smart man.

Today's meal is not about food and wine, but about the old factory across the street.

Gao Dapeng put himself in the main seat because Wu Fei wanted him to help.

Wei Guoqing shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "You old Gao..."

"Old Wei, I, your younger brother, have put a lot of thought into today's meal. We have the top-quality forest frogs, the freshest crayfish, and the salmon that just arrived this morning. We've been simmering them over a low fire for two hours." Gao Dapeng introduced them to Wei Guoqing with a smile.

"Comrade Li, thank you for your concern." Wei Guoqing smiled when he heard this.

"Director Wei just told me to be rich. These things are easy for me to make. It was Brother Wang who helped me get the salmon. I dare not take credit for it." Li Youcai replied.

A seemingly ordinary sentence.

Li Youcai moved Wang Changlin to the front, showing both his favor to Wang Changlin and Wei Guoqing his close relationship with Wang Changlin.

"I didn't get this fish for free. Hurry up and take out your good wine. Today we will pair good wine with good food and have a good meal." Wang Changlin said with a smile.

"That is required."

Li Youcai tore open the cardboard box and placed bottles of Moutai on the table, opening several bottles in a row.

Suddenly the aroma of wine filled the room.

Gao Dapeng asked the waiter to serve the dishes. Twelve dishes, four cold and eight hot, were placed on the table one after another.

Braised frog in soy sauce, crayfish tofu, braised salmon, slippery ox tongue...

It really is true that good wine goes well with good food.

Drink first, talk later.

As the host of the party, Gao Dapeng took the initiative to arrange for everyone to drink and eat.

You drink a glass, he drinks a glass, Li Youcai, Wang Changlin and Gao Dapeng take turns to toast.

Wei Guoqing accepted everything that was offered to him and just drank one cup left and right.

"Eat some food, eat some food..." Gao Dapeng called out.

The wine is over thirty, and the food is over five flavors.

Several people were no longer so reserved.

They drank and chatted, and became more familiar with each other.

I feel like the atmosphere is about right.

Gao Dapeng glanced at Li Youcai, then locked eyes with him before speaking first, "Old Wei, there's no one else here, so I'll just say what I want to say. I'm looking to buy this old factory across the street. Could you please help me out and offer some advice?"

"Director Wei, I can assure you that regarding the matter of renting the old factory building, I will never take advantage of the flour mill. We will do what we have to do." Li Youcai followed closely and immediately expressed his opinion.

We ate the food and drank the wine.

Now that they were talking about business, Wei Guoqing did not hesitate or shirk his responsibilities.

Instead, he directly stated the situation of the old factory.

"This old factory has been idle for the past few years. The factory has recently considered renting it out, but the matter has not yet been discussed at the meeting, and there is no specific charter. It does require a process to complete it."

"Old Gao is here too, so I'll say what I want to say. The old factory definitely can't be rented out to individuals. As for the rent, that's easy to say. After all, it's an old factory, and the internal facilities have been in disrepair for a long time. No matter what it's used for, it's probably going to need a major overhaul. You have to think this through."

Although Wei Guoqing, as the factory director, cannot have the final say, the handling of the old factory buildings is not a big deal for him.

Besides, renting out a property is nothing new now and there is nothing wrong with it.

But there were some things he had to make clear in advance. After all, the flour mill was a state-owned unit. Even if the old factory was abandoned, he would not dare to rent it out to individuals. It was not a question of how much the rent was, but if someone made a fuss about it in the future, he, Wei Guoqing, would have a hard time explaining himself.

"That's not a problem. I'm not renting it as an individual, but as a collective enterprise of the brigade."

This problem is not a problem at all for Li Youcai.

This problem can be perfectly solved by registering your own business under the name of a collective unit and filling in the collective nature in the industrial and commercial registration.

Affiliation is a special product formed in this special era.

Individuals are not allowed to set up businesses.

If you want to start a business, the only way is to set up a collective enterprise.

So someone came up with the idea of ​​"affiliating" and registered their business with a collective unit, paying a certain affiliation fee to the unit.

The unit does not participate in any operations or investments of the enterprise, but only collects registration fees on a regular basis.

The two sides do not disturb each other.

But such a relationship also involves great risks.

Disputes over corporate ownership can easily arise.

Li Youcai had encountered many such disputes in his previous life.

But at the moment, affiliation is his only option.

"If it's a collective enterprise, then there won't be any problem." Wang Guoqing felt relieved when he heard Li Youcai say that he was from a collective enterprise.

"Don't worry, with Lao Gao's relationship, I won't lie to you. Tomorrow I will arrange for someone to take you to see the old factory. There will be a factory representative meeting the day after tomorrow. I will bring this matter up for discussion at the meeting. It shouldn't be a big problem." Wei Guoqing said.

"That's great, Director Wei, let me toast you again!" Li Youcai was very happy and immediately raised his glass to toast Wei Guoqing again.

After the story was told, the group drank more freely.

Li Youcai brought ten bottles of Moutai and drank seven of them directly.

He finally saw how much Gao Dapeng meant when he said Wei Guoqing weighed more than two kilograms.

Of the seven bottles of wine, Wei Guoqing drank three by himself.

Even after drinking so much, Wei Guoqing did not fall down. It is no exaggeration to say that he is a warrior who can withstand the test of alcohol.

When we came out of the Beiwei Restaurant, it was already dark.

Thanks to Wang Changlin, the driver drove a jeep and took him back to Dongsheng Brigade.

Chu Xinyan looked at Li Youcai, who was drunk and had blurry eyes. She took a hot towel and wiped Li Youcai's face and hands attentively.

"Wife, you are so beautiful."

A fire of desire flashed in Li Youcai's hazy drunken eyes, and he hugged Chu Xinyan.
