In the spring of 1972, on a train heading to the Great Northern Wilderness for re-education, Chu Miaohong quietly tossed an old envelope into the wind. Far away in the year 2024, Zhang Hongcheng co...
[Haha, I knew everyone would say I was dumbing people down. Let me explain, no, make it up, no, write...]
A Hongqi sedan drove out of the Beijing Railway Station, with a jeep leading the way in the distance.
Mr. Cheng, who had just returned from vacation in Northeast China, looked very energetic. Sitting next to him, reporting on his work, was his secretary, Xiaotian.
"...This is the current state of preparation for the eleven business teams we are responsible for. Everyone is full of confidence and ready to achieve even greater success."
Mr. Cheng remained calm and his expression did not change.
Of course he knew that Oda's last two sentences were just clichés.
“We are full of confidence and will achieve even better results.”
It's easier said than done.
As the largest foreign trade exhibition in China, Mr. Cheng believes that although every businessman says he is full of confidence, he is actually worried in his heart.
The international economic crisis is prevailing. Although it has brought a rare wave of export boom to China, the international business demand changes so rapidly every year that no one dares to say that they are ready.
As for "achieving greater success", Mr. Cheng didn't think much about it. The business groups he was in charge of were not the main force at the Canton Fair. The export orders of those large state-owned enterprises were controlled by several of the most important business groups.
The business teams under him are all vanguards and scouts, and are an effective supplement to the main business, targeting the needs of foreign companies whose purchasing volumes are not very large.
As long as he can maintain last year's basic foundation, he will be satisfied.
"Seventh Business Group, what's the situation now?"
Mr. Cheng pondered for a long time, and the first question he asked was about the Seventh Business Group.
Secretary Tian was obviously prepared, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"I knew you would ask about Xiao Pang's group."
"Just like in previous years, her seventh business team was the last to enter and select projects."
Mr. Cheng shook his head inaudibly, with a hint of pampering and helplessness in his smile.
"This kid is still so ambitious. Isn't she afraid that someday some other business team will spot the gold and snatch up all those good projects? I wonder where she'll go crying?"
"Mr. Cheng, you know what, Yuanyuan seems to be full of confidence this time."
"I almost couldn't hold back the smugness I showed on the phone yesterday."
"From what she said, she was actually thinking about reaching the summit this year."
Mr. Cheng suddenly became energetic.
This is probably because Pang Yuanyuan is not only the granddaughter of his old comrade-in-arms, but also one of the rare outstanding talents under his command.
Even though the Seventh Business Group is always the last one to come and pick up the leftover projects every year, the trade volume achieved by the Seventh Business Group always ranks among the top three among all business groups!
Of course, this ranking excludes the large business groups responsible for the main business.
Although Comrade Xiao Pang is arrogant and the soldiers she leads are all more arrogant than each other, her arrogance is based on real merits.
Even if you dislike Pang Yuanyuan, you have to admit that she is a master at finding gold in shit.
Some projects that seem to have no future at all can be turned into something great in her hands and recognized by foreign investors.
"Do you dare to make such a big statement this year? Did this little girl tell me which projects she has her eyes on?"
Secretary Tian smiled and shook his head.
"Although Xiao Pang is arrogant, she's very shrewd. She's afraid that if I leak the news, it will lead to others vying for it. She hasn't told me anything about the projects she's interested in."
"The strangest thing is that she said I was asking questions even though I knew the answer, and she really wronged me!"
Mr. Cheng chuckled.
"Let her be. Although Xiao Pang is young and energetic, she is actually very cautious in her work."
"Speaking of young people, I remember another thing."
Mr. Cheng's tone slowed down a bit.
"That Xiao Zhang recommended by the Northeast Construction Corps is probably three years younger than Xiao Pang, right?"
"How are his arrangements for attending the Canton Fair going?"
When Secretary Tian heard the leader ask this question, his face looked a little embarrassed.
"You specifically assigned Xiao Zhang to Xiao Pang's group. I'm afraid you already knew how Xiao Pang would deal with him?"
"Xiao Pang asked her team to arrange a difficult matter for Xiao Zhang. Hey, Minister Li from Northeast China won't cause any trouble for me, right?"
Mr. Cheng showed a hint of surprise, then laughed again.
"I think this Xiao Zhang is quite talented, and the only person who is best suited to cultivating such a talent is Xiao Pang."
"I never intended to let Xiao Zhang show off at the Canton Fair. I just wanted him to see the real world so that he can wake up from his previous achievements."
"I think this is a good thing. If he is really talented, Xiao Pang will dig him out sooner or later."
"Big Li, you don't have to worry about that."
"He's really torn right now. He wants Xiao Zhang to gain a foothold on our side sooner rather than later, but he's also worried that Xiao Zhang will become too prominent and draw attention to himself, causing trouble."
Secretary Tian smiled and praised the leader.
"Your arrangement is certainly correct, otherwise Minister Li would not have handed the person over to you."
"Others might think it's hard for him to get ahead with Xiao Pang, but you know in your heart that Xiao Pang is extremely protective of his people."
"Even if Xiao Zhang gets into trouble, Xiao Pang will stand up for him even if he doesn't like him."
"By the way," Elder Cheng's tone suddenly became a little guilty, "Xiao Pang didn't complain about the temporary projects we added to him, right?"
