Ji Wanqing raised an eyebrow, "Going to Shanghai? That's good."

Yu Jia has lived in Shanghai all his life and is more aware of the changes in the current situation in Shanghai. This is also an important node in the original plot. The heroine initially made her fortune in Shanghai.

At this time Jiang Che came back. After the two greeted each other, Shen Feng took over the job of security guard very consciously and pushed Jiang Tuan to the window to reminisce.

Ji Wanqing and Yu Jia were sitting beside the bed and chatting.

"Sister Wanqing, I heard from Sister Yaman that you opened a home appliance factory in Beijing City. How is the performance?"

"Not bad, we just started to make a profit recently."

Yu Jia is a man who has lived a new life. In addition to repaying his benefactors, the most important thing for him is to take advantage of the times and make a career of his own.

"That's great. I plan to make a big splash in Shanghai this time."

"Now that reform and opening up have been implemented, Shanghai, as an international metropolis and a port, will definitely be the first to reap the benefits." Ji Wanqing said with a smile, "I remember that you have been helping your relatives sell things in the past two years. Now that the policies have been relaxed, it will be like the sky is high and the birds fly freely, and the sea is wide and the fish leap!"

Yu Jia was embarrassed by the compliment, so he said, "Then I'll take your good words, but Sister Wanqing, I may need to borrow some money from you."

“Huh?” Ji Wanqing remembered that in the plot, it was around 1982 that Yu Jia started to borrow money from others to start a factory. Now the timeline has moved forward three years.

Yu Jiacheng said anxiously: "I have already raised a certain amount of start-up funds, but I am still short of some. I really don't want to give up such a good opportunity now!"

Ji Wanqing leaned against the door frame with his arms folded. "Yu, I was able to open the factory and obtain the license smoothly because I have a partner who resigned from the system. He is familiar with the process and has acquaintances in the company. In addition, the country is willing to promote it and has an encouraging attitude towards people who go into business. That's why we were able to obtain all the certificates so smoothly."

"But if you want to have a piece of the pie when you first arrive in Shanghai, I don't think it will be easy."

In the plot, three years after Yu Jia went to Shanghai, he got to know a lot of people and had a certain amount of personal connections. In addition, he had accumulated a certain amount of original capital and could no longer wait to try his luck in the bureau, so he started to raise money from everywhere to start a factory.

Now, thanks to Ji Wanqing's butterfly effect, Yu Jia has already saved up enough initial capital to have a say in setting up a factory.

But if she wanted to start a factory with great fanfare right after arriving in Shanghai, Ji Wanqing knew without having to guess that the process would be extremely difficult and bumpy.

Yu Jia frowned, "But the sooner the better. I would rather take action and put in some effort at the beginning than wait for the right opportunity."

Ji Wanqing thought for a moment and said, "How about this, after Deputy Commander Shen's training is over and summer vacation is almost here, I will go to Shanghai with you."

"Let's go together?"

Ji Wanqing said with a smile, "To be honest, I also have my eyes on the future development of Shanghai, but due to my status, it is inconvenient for me to leave Beijing frequently, so I want to find you to be my partner."

"As a partner, I can provide you with certain funds, connections, and initial resources."

She asked cautiously, "How many resources can Sister Wanqing provide?"

"How about the exclusive sales rights of Guanghua color TV in Shanghai?"

"Guanghua TV?" Yu Jia had never heard of this brand of TV in his life.

"Well, you can go to the major appliance malls in Beijing this month. Since the color TVs produced by our Guanghua were launched on the market, the monthly sales volume has ranked first in the industry. The orders have been placed until next year. We are now preparing to expand the factory and production lines."

Yu Jia’s eyes widened in shock. It would have been fine if Sister Wanqing hadn’t made a move, but once she did, it was simply jaw-dropping!

"At most, each family has one color TV set, and only a few can afford it now. The Beijing market will eventually be saturated. Several dealers from nearby Jinshi, Heilongjiang, and Liaoning provinces have come to our Guanghua factory to discuss agency cooperation. Southern cities are geographically far away, so they probably haven't received the news yet, but they will soon."

Ji Wanqing made a well-reasoned analysis, "Now that you have the exclusive sales rights for Guanghua TVs, it will be much easier for you to enter the Shanghai market. At least you will have a name to talk to, and you will no longer be an unknown soldier, and you will not be treated like a nobody."

Yu Jia hesitated for a moment, "I know it's too immature to talk about friendship in the business world, but what did you want that night, Sister Qing?"

Ji Wanqing was not polite either, "I will invest with you, but I will not be responsible for the subsequent development of our factory, and I want 40% of the profits of your new factory."

Yu Jia thought, isn’t this similar to the joint-stock companies in the 1990s?

And even if a joint-stock limited partnership is established later, she will still have the leading rights in the operation according to the proportion.

"I agree." She said carefully, "But Guanghua can't lower my price just because I'm a newcomer. The price I get must be consistent with the three provinces surrounding Shanghai."

"Can."

The two sides discussed some details of the cooperation and agreed on a time to go to the court to sign the contract. There, Jiang Che and Shen Feng also ended their conversation.

"Jiang Tuan, I will come to visit you after I finish my training." Shen Feng said.

Jiang Che nodded, "Okay, good luck with your studies, and take care."

After the couple left, Ji Wanqing asked, "What position was Deputy Colonel Shen transferred to in Shanghai?"

"He's also at the deputy regimental level."

"Didn't he also make contributions?"

Jiang Che explained, "Military officers in Beijing and Shanghai are well paid. If he didn't have this merit, he wouldn't be able to be transferred there."

Ji Wanqing helped him to the bed to eat, "What about you? I haven't asked you how you will be transferred to your future work."

"Now that he has recovered well, he should be able to be promoted to deputy brigade commander of the 28th Division in Beijing and promoted to the rank of colonel."

"Tsk." Ji Wanqing snorted, "This time the achievement is quite big, right?"

It can be adjusted and raised.

The guard helped to pack up the wheelchair and leave the ward. Jiang Che softened his tone and held her hand. "Hey, Qingqing, I really can't think so much on the battlefield."

"Okay, I'm not that unreasonable." She scooped a bowl of chicken soup and passed it to him, "Here, drink the soup."

"Okay, you drink too."

"Did dad call yesterday? What did he say?" Ji Wanqing chatted while eating.

Jiang Che: "Ask about my recovery."

"Dad is going to get promoted too, right?"

"Well, after all, it has been suppressed for so many years."

Thinking back to when Qin Ying learned about the situation, she only told Ji Wanqing to take good care of Jiang Che.

Seeing his rosy complexion nourished by the spiritual spring water, she couldn't help but think of the plot in the book, where a man had to change his career after falling ill.

"Jiang Che, if you hadn't gotten married, would your family come to take care of you?" Ji Wanqing asked suddenly.

Jiang Che was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "No, they also have their own responsibilities. It's impossible for them to put everything aside to take care of me."

"What about mom? You don't want her to come over?"

Jiang Che: "I don't have a child, and I don't have anyone I can trust around me, so I don't need anyone to come here specially."
