Although the temperature in Lingji is as warm as that in the south of the Yangtze River compared to Longjiang, you still have to take off your shoes before going to bed.

This is the rule of Yang Jianguo's country.

Wan Feng put the gift on the cabinet, took off his shoes, got on the kang, and then pulled a small quilt from the head of the kang to cover his legs.

Yang Jianguo also went up to the kang and sat there chatting with Wan Feng.

"What happened to Changchun after June?" Wan Feng had never been to Changchun since he left, and he had never asked Chen Tianci in detail, so he didn't know much about what happened after Changchun Clivia jumped off the cliff.

"Don't even mention it. It was a complete mess! I went back to the city at the end of June, and the streets and trash cans were filled with discarded Clivias. People seemed to have lost their spirit and energy, and the whole city had become gloomy. Countless people in Changchun still don't understand why the Clivias, which were once so valuable, were now worthless. Luckily, we resolutely listened to you and left Changchun completely in May. Otherwise, we might be out robbing and begging now."

This kind of thing seems to be a simple relationship between giving and giving, but when it comes to human greed, few people can let it go.

Because Yang Jianguo fully trusted Wan Feng, he obediently stopped in time and did not suffer any loss. However, Chen Tianci lost a lot of money because he did not let go in time. Fortunately, he stopped in time and did not lose all the money.

"How much did Chen Tianchui lose?"

"Tens of thousands, probably. I've got a factory in Beiliao producing scotch tape."

"We want to do something too. Han Meng and Zhao Gang have the same idea. But we're really not good at business, and we don't know what to do. We're at a loss right now. Luckily you're here. I bet you're here to do some business, right?"

"It's about that thing over in Longjiang. It might start next year. I think the three of you should go over there after the New Year and train a bunch of hooligans for me first."

"Training hooligans?"

"They're a bunch of street thugs. I hired them to run errands for me. In the city, they're much more useful than ordinary people if used properly, but the prerequisite is that you can catch them. Use your military training methods to train them well, otherwise these guys will be useless."

"It's nothing, except eating."

"After training these guys, my warehouse will probably be renovated. After the warehouse is renovated, it's time to prepare the goods. We need to purchase a lot of goods from the three northeastern provinces and store them there. I have confirmed that trade between China and the Soviet Union may open after the autumn of next year. Initially, we may use the traffic on the Longjiang River during the river closure period for transportation. Therefore, we need to prepare enough warehouses to store the goods exchanged from the Soviet Union. When our goods reserves are almost complete, foreign trade with the Soviet Union will also be about to begin. Therefore, your absence this time may be longer. Tomorrow, you should call Han Meng and Zhao Gang to discuss it with us."

At this time, Yang Jianguo's wife prepared the meal and brought it over and started eating.

After dinner, Wan Feng stayed at his house for one night.

The next day, Yang Jianguo went to find Han Meng and Zhao Gang, while Wan Feng entered the urban area of ​​Changchun.

He was going to visit several people who had helped him in the past, such as Zheng Yuexian, Liu Fu, Wu Zihua and Qi Lan.

After visiting these people one by one, Wan Feng finally came to Qi Lan's home.

Qi Lan was extremely happy to see Wan Feng: "Xiao Wan, you're here! Come on, let's have a drink this afternoon."

Seeing Qi Lan's enthusiasm towards Wan Feng, Wan Feng guessed that he would listen to him.

really…

"Thank goodness you reminded me back then, otherwise I, an old man, would have suffered a huge loss."

"Have you all taken action?"

"There are still some small flower seedlings, but that doesn't matter. I'll just keep them for my own enjoyment."

While talking, Qi Lan took Wan Feng to visit his flower garden again.

There are also twenty or thirty Clivias with five or six leaves in the flower garden.

Wan Feng sighed. The Clivia, which was once loved by everyone, has now lost its former glory and has become a common sight.

Qi Lan still grows Clivia out of pure sentimentality.

Wan Feng came here just for a visit. When he saw Wu Zihua just now, he had already finalized the cooperation on motorcycle carburetors.

He had given up the idea of ​​inviting Qi Lan to Jiangwei to take charge of the carburetor.

Wu Zihua agreed to send someone to Wanfeng's factory to retrieve the blueprints and bring them back to make supporting products for Wanfeng. Having a professional manufacturer produce the supporting products is more economical and of higher quality than doing it by oneself.

Wan Feng did not have lunch at Qi Lan's house because Yang Jianguo might be back after noon.

Wan Feng stayed with Qi Lan for only a short while before leaving.

At noon, he had a quick lunch in the city and then rushed back to Yang Jianguo's home.

Yang Jianguo returned with Han Meng and Zhao Gang at around 1:30 p.m.

After a brief greeting, Wan Feng began to explain the purpose of his visit on the kang in Yang Jianguo's home.

"This time you go out, you must be prepared to not come back many times a year. This situation may last for several years. Can your family handle it?"

"No problem. It's not a big deal if I can't come back a few times a year."

Yang Jianguo and the other two expressed their opinions.

"One more thing. We might have to go to Russia this time. There might be danger. You should think carefully. The fighting nation is very stubborn. They are very likely to start a war without warning. I can't predict the severity of the situation. We can only try to think of the worst."

"How many people can we have if we go there?" Han Meng asked.

"It doesn't matter how many people we have. Even if we have a hundred people there, it won't be of any use. On our side, there won't be more than ten people going over there. But our main purpose is to do business. We won't take action unless someone wants to rob or hold us hostage, so we'll try not to take action if we can."

"I have no problem." Yang Jianguo was the first to speak out.

"I can do that too."

"That's fine with me."

These people probably wished for something like this to happen and make it more lively.

"We have another expert here, a veteran of the battlefield who has won six first-class merits. He will go with us."

"Six first-class merits?"

Yang Jianguo and the other two took a deep breath. They had all made contributions in the army, and the three of them had won many second-class merits, but no first-class merits.

"Who is this?"

"Big man! You'll see it then."

The last thing to discuss is the issue of compensation.

"At first, it'll be the same as when we were dealing in Clivia. You'll be paid a monthly salary, 100 yuan a month. Bonuses will be calculated later, but that depends on how much we can afford. If we don't, you'll just have to earn a salary. If any casualties occur, I'll give your family a generous pension. Any objections?"

After hanging out with Wan Feng once, their eyes were no longer drawn to his salary. As long as they could gain something, the salary would only be enough to buy a cigarette.

Yang Jianguo and the other two shook their heads: "No objection."

"Then after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, you can come to this address to find me."

The Spring Festival in 1986 was on February 8th, and there were only a few days left until March 1st after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Wan Feng would definitely be at Xiao Wu's house at that time.

Yang Jianguo and the other two went to Xiao Wu's house to meet up with Wan Feng, and then Wan Feng sent them to Heihe.
