Chapter 492: Business Trip to Yangcheng
At this moment, everyone was crying with joy, and the leaders did not forget the top scorers who attended the meeting.
On the afternoon of the day when the symposium ended, Vice Minister Luo of the Ministry of Education brought a group of people to the Jingshi Hotel.
At first, everyone thought that Vice Minister Luo came this time to sign a confidentiality agreement.
After all, resuming the college entrance examination is the top priority this year, and it involves the fate of hundreds of millions of students, so it is normal to have such an arrangement.
But surprisingly, Vice Minister Luo did not mention this matter from beginning to end. During the whole meeting, he just comforted everyone and encouraged them to go back and study hard, and strive to get the top score again this year.
Before leaving, he gave all participants a complete set of extracurricular tutoring materials.
When Lin Siqiao got the information, his reaction was the same as everyone else. He was stunned for the moment, but after thinking about it, he found it was not difficult to understand.
Firstly, this matter cannot be concealed. Not counting the staff, there are more than 100 participants in this meeting. Everyone gathered in Beijing for five consecutive days. People with a quick mind should have figured out the key points long ago.
Secondly, the higher-ups may also want to make up for the regret four years ago, so they gave me the book as a parting gift today.
As for the consequences of this incident, Lin Siqiao believes that they are controllable.
These people were the top scorers in the college entrance examination. Four years ago, they were able to break through the siege of thousands of competitors. Their strength should not be underestimated. So with or without this set of tutoring materials, they can return to the finals again.
Furthermore, Lin Siqiao also heard from his elders in his family in later life that the admission threshold for the college entrance examination in 1977 seemed very low, but in fact it was also subject to conditional restrictions.
Liaoning Province Enrollment Guide
The 2017 Shaanxi Province Admissions Brochure first requires that applicants be unmarried, around 20 years old, and not older than 25 years old. Certain majors also have specific restrictions, for example, applicants for secondary technical schools must not be older than 23 years old, and applicants for nursing majors must not be older than 20 years old.
For some people with rich practical experience and expertise, there is no restriction on marital status and the age limit is appropriately relaxed to 30 years old.
Please note that rich practical experience here does not mean long working experience, but that you have made actual achievements in scientific research or technological innovation.
Among these students from the three old classes, only the high school graduates from the 1966 and 1967 classes received a little extra care.
The most unfortunate ones were the class of 1968. That group was forced to go to the countryside to work and the studies of all the students were cut off. They were said to have attended junior high school and high school, but in fact they only attended school for half a semester.
This also resulted in many of them failing to even pass the preliminary exam.
Yes, due to the tight time for this year's college entrance examination, each province, city, and autonomous region set its own questions. Some provinces, due to the large number of applicants, set up pre-examinations before the college entrance examination, and candidates could only take the college entrance examination after passing the pre-examinations.
In 2017, three provinces set up college entrance examination pre-examinations. With these restrictions, there are not many people who actually meet the application requirements.
After returning home in the evening, Lin Siqiao counted the relatives who had a good relationship with Lu Jianchuan. After a thorough screening, she found that none of them met the requirements.
No wonder there is no need to write a confidentiality agreement, it turns out that all of this has already been taken into consideration.
If you think about it, it would be the same if there were no restrictions like these rules and regulations.
The college entrance examination has been suspended for so many years, how is it possible that in the end only a few million people entered the examination room?
But it’s good this way, so she doesn’t have to worry about whether to tell the news or not.
The symposium came to an end, and Lin Siqiao turned his attention back to his work.
At the end of August, she received a notice that she would go to Yangcheng to attend several government seminars for about a week.
Lin Siqiao happened to have something he wanted to go there for, so he agreed.
A week later, the meeting ended and Lin Siqiao took two days off to go to Shenzhen.
After the great movement ended, the procedures for traveling to and from Hong Kong City were much simpler than before. However, Lin Siqiao had officially joined the state ministry, and his identity became awkward.
According to regulations, if she wants to go to Gangcheng, she not only needs to submit a report, but also has to obtain approval from higher authorities.
Lin Siqiao didn't find it troublesome, so he just called Xu Weijie over.
The two met at a teahouse in Bao'an County. The old classmates hadn't seen each other for a long time, so naturally they had to exchange pleasantries when they met.
"Congratulations." Xu Weijie said with a smile, "This is my first time buying a gift for a child, and I didn't know what to buy, so I just bought something casually."
At the beginning of the month, he heard from Li Jiachen that Lin Siqiao was pregnant with twins. He originally thought that when his boss called him next time, he would ask for the address and buy some gifts for the two children and send them over.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he got to work yesterday, he received a message from Lin Siqiao asking him out for a meeting.
Since he was not sure whether it was a boy or a girl, Xu Weijie picked a little of each, and he also brought some for Li Jiachen, so the total amount was quite a lot.
When going through customs, the border inspection personnel saw that he was carrying so many things and specifically reminded him that he must abide by the law here and must not engage in speculation.
"We are old classmates, why are you so polite? Come and sit down."
After Xu Weijie sat down, he smiled and said, "You said we are old classmates, so as old classmates, isn't it normal for you to buy some gifts for the two children?"
Lin Siqiao also laughed along, "Okay, then I'll thank you on behalf of the two children."
After the two sat down and chatted for a while, they got down to business, and Xu Weijie instantly switched to the status of superior and subordinate.
"Boss, this is the branch's financial report for the first half of the year. As of June, the net profit of the two terminals increased by 75 percent year-on-year."
The financial report for the second half of the year has not yet come out, but based on the current situation, net profit can at least double.
In addition to the improving overall environment, this is also due to the two decisions Lin Siqiao made years ago.
With the traffic problems in the port lounge and near the docks resolved, at least 40% of the ocean-going shipping companies in the port city now choose Huaxing, and their business is naturally getting better day by day.
Xu Weijie roughly estimated that by the end of the year, he would be able to withdraw at least 20 million Hong Kong dollars from the account of the Hong Kong City branch.
He suggested that the money could be used to repay the loan from Bank of China first, which would save a lot of interest every year.
Unexpectedly, Lin Siqiao shook her head after hearing this. She did not plan to repay the money in advance, and she even wanted to borrow another 100 million Hong Kong dollars from Bank of China.
"You still... you still need to borrow another 100 million?"
"Yes, I do."
Lin Siqiao put down the teacup in his hand and said with a smile.
"Import and export trade is booming now. We have our own docks and our own import and export trading companies in China. It makes no sense for us not to take advantage of such a big piece of cake. Don't you think so?"
Now Xu Weijie was even more confused. Where did their import and export trading company come from?
Suddenly, he thought of a possibility. It seemed that this guy Li Jiachen had not contacted him for more than half a month.
Sure enough, as soon as he asked the question, Lin Siqiao just hummed.
"I had already arranged for Li Jiachen to do this in mid-August. During this time, he went abroad on a business trip and visited the shipyard company there. When he is done, he will come to the port city to meet you."
In fact, before leaving Beijing, Lin Siqiao had already received the latest offer from Li Jiachen.
At present, the latest 10,000-ton ocean-going freighter in the country costs about 3 million pounds, and an 80% new one costs less than 2.4 million pounds. This price is much cheaper than buying it in the country.
As he spoke, Lin Siqiao took out the prepared documents from his bag.
"This is the feasibility report of the project. When you return to Hong Kong City, take it and the company's financial statements for the first half of the year and go directly to see Manager Kuang."
Xu Weijie hesitated for a while, "Boss, can Bank of China afford this money?"
He remembered that the previous loan of 200 million Hong Kong dollars took Bank of China a long time to raise.
Lin Siqiao listened but smiled without saying anything.
Who is in charge of Bank of China? That naturally belongs to the central bank, and as they are the direct superiors of the central bank, how could she not know whether Bank of China has this money now?
Seeing her confident expression, Xu Weijie stopped asking questions.
Before leaving, Lin Siqiao instructed Xu Weijie another task, which was to purchase a batch of small computers in the name of the company, and also buy some physical and chemical testing equipment.
All of these will be donated to Beijing in the name of the company.
Lin Siqiao only found out about this when he followed the conference participants to visit Peking University and Tsinghua University at the beginning of the month.
The computers she had donated to two universities were smashed as early as the beginning of last year, along with the school's laboratories and libraries.
Although that group of people has received the punishment they deserved, the damaged things can never be recovered.
Fortunately, the chaotic years are over and such things will never happen again.
Xu Weijie also acted quickly. After returning to Gangcheng, he purchased all these things in about a week.
Just when Lin Siqiao was about to contact the Ministry of Education to see how these things should be distributed, Director Liu from the Department of Higher Education came to him again.
