Chapter 357: Have a Son Like Mr. Li (Happy New Year)

The influence of the mainland women's volleyball team in 1984 was not false. By the end of May, the sales of Pengcheng Red Bull had experienced explosive growth.

Channels from all over the country urged Pengcheng to deliver the goods, but there were problems with Pengcheng's supply.

Pei Wencong personally called Li Ye and said, "Mr. Li, what you expected has happened. Pengcheng Pepsi-Cola has informed us that their production line will be overhauled next month, so our OEM production plan will be affected."

As of 1984, there were only a few can production lines in the mainland. There were two Coca-Cola factories in Beijing and Guangzhou, and a Pepsi factory in Shenzhen.

As for the current Jianlibao, it is also canned by Pengcheng PepsiCo.

Li Ye asked calmly: "Who do you think is responsible?"

Li Ye did not ask Shenzhen Pepsi about the specific impact it was talking about, whether it was a loss of tens of thousands of cans or no can at all. There was no point in asking these questions.

Now he wants to confirm whether Pepsi is trying to trip up Pengcheng Red Bull.

Pengcheng Red Bull is now in the limelight, having established distribution outlets in more than a dozen cities. It is taking advantage of the momentum to carry out radiating promotion. At this critical juncture, no matter who puts a chokehold on Pengcheng Red Bull, it will be a lifelong grudge.

Pei Wencong said: "I'm not sure, but I think our advertising influence is too great and poses a competitive threat to others. I have discussed this with Hao Jian and decided to start the emergency plan first."

Because of the existing channel support of Pengcheng Seventh Factory and the strong financial strength of Pengcheng Red Bull, they did not skimp on stocking up according to market demand.

Moreover, Li Ye had anticipated that there might be a chance of being strangled, so he definitely started to stock up in advance.

In addition, Li Ye had witnessed too much malicious competition in his previous life, so his emergency measures were multifaceted.

"Let Hao Jian investigate. Also, hurry up with the construction of the production line. We can't just get by with patchwork. Also, you have to implement the measures to deal with possible crises as soon as possible."

A can production line is not simple. It requires a lot of heavy machinery and equipment to punch thin aluminum plates into cans. It is very troublesome from ordering to debugging.

Fortunately, at this time in 1984, the mainland gave priority to introducing "scientific and technological projects", so there was no problem in the introduction and approval of Pengcheng Red Bull's production line.

"Okay Mr. Li, but the matter regarding the production line depends on the progress in Malaysia. I am powerless to help!"

“.”

Pei Wencong’s meaning is very clear. You should go and urge your mother yourself. I won’t be a bad person anymore.

Li Ye was silent for a few seconds, then said: "Just let her know, no need to push her too much, tell her not to be too anxious."

“.”

[Should I give birth to a son as soon as possible? ]

Pei Wencong sighed, feeling somewhat envious of the fact that "I wish I had a son like Mr. Li".

If you have a son who is capable, lucky, and considerate, then you can just lie down and do nothing! What else is there to struggle for?

. . . . . . .

Malay.

Fu Guiru has not had a good rest for several days. She has been flying back and forth between several countries in Southeast Asia, looking for second-hand can production lines to buy.

Pei Wencong would fax her the sales situation in the mainland every week, so she certainly understood the development trend of Pengcheng Red Bull at that time, and she knew how much Pengcheng Red Bull needed to have its own production line at this moment.

However, ordering a new production line is not something that can be done in three or two months, so Fu Guiru can only turn her attention to second-hand production lines.

Nanyang's beverage industry developed very early. Fu Guiru ran around for a week and her efforts paid off. She finally finalized a 90% new production line.

It was only after she returned to her home in Johor that she felt exhausted from overdrawing her physical strength.

Fu Guiru first took a look in Fu Zhiman's room and found no one there, then she went to her daughter Fu Yiru's room.

"Xiao Ruo, have you received any letters in the past few days?"

Fu Yiruo, who was about to go to bed, blinked slyly and asked with a smile: "Mom, whose letter are you asking about?"

The exhausted Fu Guiru was stunned for a moment, then suddenly perked up: "Is there any need to ask? Hand it over to me quickly."

Fu Yiruo giggled and took out an international letter from the bottom of her desk.

"Hehe, Mom, if your wish comes true, don't you have any benefits for me?"

Fu Guiru snatched the letter away and scolded with a smile: "Do you want me to give you a hammer?"

Fu Yiruo pretended to be very aggrieved and said exaggeratedly: "My mother dislikes me now that I have a brother. My life is so miserable!"

"Go, stop messing around!"

Fu Guiru patted her daughter gently before opening the letter in her hand.

This letter was naturally sent by Li Ye from the capital city in the mainland. It was the first time he and Fu Guiru had communicated since they parted at Lijiaopo.

Fu Guiru knew that Johor was thousands of miles away from the capital city in the mainland, and communication was very inconvenient, but she still felt very disappointed after waiting for more than two months without any news.

Sometimes she thought, how much better it would have been to just break through that layer of window paper? Even if Li Ye questioned her, it would have been better than a few months of anxiety.

Will Li Ye still recognize me?

Will we meet again in the future?

My daughter Li Yue is 24 years old. What is she like now?

During these two months, Fu Guiru had woken up from her dreams countless times in the middle of the night, and the image of little Li Yue always appeared before her eyes.

At that time, Li Yue was only six or seven years old. She had two pigtails and took care of her younger brother all day long like a little adult. It makes people sad when they think about it now.

The letter sent by Li Ye was very thick. After Fu Guiru opened it, she found that in addition to two pages of letter paper, there were also two layers of very hard cardboard with a few photos sandwiched in the middle of the cardboard.

As soon as Fu Guiru saw the photo, tears immediately flowed down her face.

Those were photos of Li Yue when she first arrived in Beijing, with Li Ye, Wen Leyu and her touring Xiangshan and other places together.

Fu Guiru looked at Li Yue, who looked 70% like her and had grown into a graceful young lady. How could she control her excitement?

[You kid, you actually guessed what I was thinking. ]

Fu Guiru looked at the photo for a long time before she burst into laughter and cursed Li Ye.

Then, Fu Guiru read Li Ye's letter.

The content of Li Ye's letter seemed very ordinary. He just introduced some of his experiences in the capital of the mainland, such as the fact that overseas relations have become popular now.

Fu Guiru immediately understood that Li Ye was conveying to him the changes in mainland policies and the attitude towards overseas Chinese through these ordinary experiences.

Turning to the end of the letter, there was a phone number written on it, and it was noted that there might not be anyone there during the day and that it could only be reached after 5:30 in the evening.

Fu Guiru looked at the time, hesitated for a moment, and then couldn't help but dial the mainland line.

The call from the mainland was still difficult to get through. After Fu Guiru dialed several times, she finally heard the ringtone, and then Li Yue answered the call.

"Hello? Who are you looking for?"

“.”

Fu Guiru thought of a possibility and suddenly held her breath.

The person opposite is not Li Ye, so is it Li Yue?

"Hello? Where are you from? If you don't want to talk, hang up!"

"Don't hang up."

Fu Guiru said hurriedly: "I'm looking for Li Ye, who are you?"

"You ask who I am? Then who are you?"

"I"

Fu Guiru, a smart and capable woman, was so confused that she couldn't respond.

She thought the person on the other end of the phone was Li Ye, but she never expected it was Li Yue.

However, Fu Guiru was a person who mattered after all, and after taking a few deep breaths, she finally adjusted herself.

"I am an overseas Chinese in Nanyang. In March, I asked Li Ye to find my relatives."

"Oh, Li Ye is not here. What is your name and address? I will notify Li Ye tomorrow and ask him to reply to you as soon as possible."

Fu Guiru was stunned for a few seconds again, and simply asked: "Are you Li Ye's sister or his girlfriend?"

Li Yue asked in surprise: "Who are you? Your voice sounds familiar to me. Are you playing a prank?"

Fu Guiru wiped her tears and said, "Student Li Ye told me that he has a sister and a girlfriend, so you must be one of them!"

Li Yue was stunned, and then suddenly said: "You are the overseas Chinese who gave Li Ye the watch, right? I am Li Ye's sister, thank you so much"

What are you thanking me for?

Fu Guiru started chatting with Li Yue. Strangely enough, Li Yue on the other side was not annoyed at all. She forgot the time while chatting and even made an international long-distance call for more than ten minutes.

Finally, when Fu Guiru hung up the phone, her tears had already flowed like a river.

Fu Yiruo, who was standing next to her, obediently handed over a handkerchief to her mother, who was upset, to wipe her tears and snot.

After Fu Guiru wiped her tears, she suddenly said, "Xiaoruo, Mom may have to travel back and forth between the mainland and Johor all year round. Can you take care of yourself?"

Fu Yiruo's eyes sparkled as she said, "Mom, I can go study in the mainland! Lijiaopo National University has already set a precedent, so why can't I go?"

"What about Xiaoman? Who will take care of her?"

"Of course it's my aunt! Xiaoman doesn't even want to live with us now."

“.”

Fu Guiru sighed, feeling extremely conflicted.

She really didn't know whether it was the right time for her to return to the mainland.

All along, Fu Guiru thought that since she had not yet put on the brocade robe, how could she return home?

When Pei Wencong gave her a control limit of 10 million US dollars, Fu Guiru's desire began to grow.

Now after hearing Li Yue's voice, she finally couldn't help it.

[Just you guys, can you accept me? ]

. . . . . . . . . . . .

What Fu Guiru didn't know was that at this moment in the distant capital city, in the courtyard of Zaojun Temple, Li Yue was also crying her heart out.

Although the voice just now was a little distorted due to the long-distance call, it still sounded very much like the person in Li Yue's dream.

Unconsciously, Li Yue said a lot of words to the other party, some of which, looking back now, seemed a bit "too informal".

But a magical tacit understanding made Li Yue not want to hang up the phone and hoped to chat for a while longer.

Until the moment she hung up the phone just now, the sudden loss destroyed the strength that Li Yue had maintained for more than ten years.
