After individual businesses were officially legalized in 1982, people started to have money in their pockets.
When people have money, they want to buy things.
Zhou Mingli's television factory, the first privately-owned television factory, entered the public eye.
The televisions sold by those big manufacturers cost around 1,200 to 1,300 yuan each, and you still need to use a voucher to buy them.
Zhou Mingli's television sets are no longer needed. His manufacturing costs have decreased, so even if the price isn't reduced, his television sets can be bought without coupons.
With this restriction removed, people who want to buy televisions will naturally put their money in front of Zhou Mingli.
Zhou Mingli not only sold his televisions locally, but also consigned them to shopping malls.
From June to October, Zhou Mingli's factory generated nearly three million yuan in revenue, which not only paid off the debt Mr. Lu had lent him, but also enabled him to repay the loan for the production line he had introduced.
Next, he needs to recruit agents to sell televisions in three surrounding cities, with Beijing as the center.
We need to continue recruiting talent.
When recruiting again, in addition to skilled general workers, the threshold for senior talents is much higher than when recruiting Shao Yishan.
With policy support, Zhou Mingli was extremely busy throughout 1983.
Jiang Ci, far away in New York, only felt that Zhou Mingli's remittances to her had increased from five thousand to ten thousand per month.
Jiang Ci does receive a salary, and Zhou Mingli, perhaps feeling that she didn't have enough money in New York, sent her increasingly larger remittances each time.
When Jiangci asked him on the phone, he said that the R&D staff had overcome technical difficulties and reduced manufacturing costs.
With his career thriving, Jiangci had nothing to worry about.
These are turbulent times internationally, and E-Cera is very busy, sometimes working until late at night.
"Counselor Jiang, want to go out for a late-night snack?"
A colleague from country E asked about Jiang Ci.
Jiang Ci had just stepped out of the conference building when she heard this and glanced down at the time; it was already past eight o'clock.
She smiled and shook her head, "You guys go ahead and eat, I still have some work to do."
"Work is never-ending, we're all in this together, Jiang."
A young girl in a women's suit dress grabbed Jiang Ci's arm, "Let's go, let's go!"
"Mina," Jiang Ci said helplessly.
There were quite a few colleagues and colleagues from other countries who went to dinner together. Jiang Ci thought about it and decided not to refuse any longer. They all left together to have dinner.
Jiang Ci had just left the conference building with the group when a taxi stopped in front of it.
After working for several hours straight, Jiang Ci ordered oyster soup, steak, and pasta. Mina asked her if she wanted champagne, and she offered to.
Mina is a New York City native, and her family are wealthy business owners in New York City.
"I have a meeting tomorrow morning, so I won't be drinking."
Jiang Ci declined and quickly changed the subject, asking her what she wanted to eat.
"Just like you, right?"
A large group of people occupied three large tables; they were the only customers in the restaurant, and the food was served very quickly.
Jiang Ci was also hungry. Before she could say anything, she ate a piece of steak first, and then slowed down to eat while chatting with others.
It was past 11 p.m. when everyone finally returned.
Jiang Ci walked with several colleagues from China. It was quite chilly in November. Jiang Ci wrapped her scarf tightly around herself and glanced at the time. "Let's take a taxi back. It's quite far from where we live."
"Alright."
Jiang Ci hailed a taxi, gave them the address, and sat in the back seat chatting with her colleagues about the arguments that had taken place at the meeting earlier that day.
As they approached their lodgings, Jiang Ci glanced out the window out of the corner of her eye.
Then she felt like her eyes were playing tricks on her, and she quickly said, "Driver, please stop now."
The driver, unaware of what was happening, still stopped.
"Jiang Ci, what's wrong?" her colleague asked curiously.
"I'm too full, I want to walk around to digest." Jiang Ci casually made up an excuse and said with a smile, "You guys go back first, I'll walk for a while."
"Oh well."
Jiang Ci watched the taxi drive away, then turned and walked back. There were hardly any people on the road.
She then realized she should cross the street to the other side, looked around, and decided to cross across.
Before she could even take a step, her arm was suddenly grabbed and pulled back with great force, causing Jiang Ci to unexpectedly fall into a cold embrace.
Just as the alert Jiang Ci was about to take out the self-defense weapon she was carrying, she suddenly caught a familiar scent.
She paused, then raised her head.
After a 14-hour flight, Zhou Mingli rushed to the conference building only to find it empty. He hadn't even had time to shave while frantically asking around where the delegation to Jiangci was staying.
A car sped past us on the road behind us without slowing down.
The hem of Zhou Mingli's coat was blown up.
Zhou Mingli's chin was covered with stiff stubble.
She parted her lips slightly and grabbed his chin.
"week……"
Zhou Mingli hugged her tightly and, somewhat eagerly, lowered his head to kiss her lips haphazardly.
He took her entire lips into his mouth with a hint of urgency, forceful and brooking no refusal.
Jiang Ci's face stung a little from the prickling of his stubble, but her mind cleared, and she truly realized that Zhou Mingli was right in front of her, kissing her.
She blinked and saw his bloodshot eyes. Whether it was out of heartache or something else, she raised her hand and gently stroked Zhou Mingli's brow bone.
The kiss lasted a long time, so long that Jiang Ci could hardly breathe.
It was only with great difficulty that they finally let go.
