Chapter 259: Transaction Volume Exceeds 1.5 Billion US Dollars

After everyone's joint efforts, the Autumn Trade Fair closed smoothly on November 15.

That night, the organizers held a closing reception at the Oriental Hotel, the People's Building, and the Liuhua Hotel at the same time. A total of more than 4,000 foreign businessmen, overseas Chinese, and compatriots from Hong Kong and Macao attended the closing reception.

The next day, the People's Daily even took a page to report this event.

After the trade fair ended, the staff began to count the transaction volume intensively.

The results did not disappoint the expectations of the leaders, and the transaction volume exceeded 1.5 billion US dollars.

You know, the total foreign trade volume of the country in 1973 just exceeded 10 billion. The Autumn Fair alone has reached 1.5 billion. Together with the Spring Fair, the contribution of the Export Commodities Fair to China's foreign trade cannot be underestimated. This

is a satisfactory answer for the leaders who have devoted a lot of effort to ensure the smooth progress of the Fair.

After statistics, it was found that among all the traders, Su Mo alone has completed more than 80 million transactions, making her the well-deserved sales champion.

As a result, Su Mo began to enter the sight of the upper-level leaders. Su Mo

's performance is so outstanding that she naturally needs to be rewarded. After the finishing work was completed, the center leader praised Su Mo at the meeting, promoted Su Mo to a higher level, and increased her salary from 48 yuan to 57 yuan, and the welfare benefits were also increased as appropriate.

For a while, those who had not been promoted for several years felt mixed emotions.

After Su Mo returned to the office, she found that some male colleagues looked at her differently, with a hint of a desire to fight.

In the eyes of some gay men, if a female comrade can do logistical work steadily and is beautiful, which makes them happy, they will naturally be more tolerant.

If a female comrade is too strong and even more capable than them, no matter how beautiful she is, in their eyes, she is useless and they can find a lot of problems everywhere.

Su Mo noticed it and was prepared to be criticized. She would not suppress herself because of the jealousy of a few mediocre people.

Sure enough, within a few days, Ye Wenbin received an anonymous letter of accusation, reporting that Su Mo had an affair with a foreign businessman.

After seeing it, Ye Wenbin was so angry that he laughed. He suppressed the letter of accusation, called everyone in the department together for a meeting, and directly criticized the anonymous person who wrote the letter.

This group of men, instead of thinking about learning from others and working hard to achieve better results at the next trade fair, he was ashamed for them for doing these shady and treacherous things for him.

Seeing the director angry, a group of people dared not breathe. Ye Wenbin has a strong backstage, and ordinary people can't touch him at all.

Although the politics in Guangdong Province is clearer than that in the north, there are still many rebels in the Revolutionary Committee, and some bad apples will infiltrate every place.

After Ye Wenbin scolded the person, he also reminded Su Mo to be more careful with her words and actions during this period, so as not to be caught by others.

Su Mo was still very grateful for Ye Wenbin's protection, and immediately said that she would be cautious.

This situation did not last long. A week later, the second leader praised Su Mo in front of the reporting group and called on all traders to learn from her.

The center immediately found Su Mo and asked her to prepare and talk to the people in the center about how to negotiate transactions better.

After Su Mo got the news, she was also relieved. She knew that she had won the gamble. It would be much easier to do something in the future if she caught the leader's eye.

Su Mo did not hide anything and taught everyone everything she knew and could say, and she taught for three or four days in a row.

Ye Wenbin once again looked at Su Mo with new eyes. This was really a family tradition. Even if she did not do business anymore, some things were engraved in her bones.

Ye Wenbin understood Su Mo's situation. After all, his family and the Su family had a partnership, and he had also received instructions from the old man to protect the Su family when appropriate.

Time passed quickly, and it was the end of December in a blink of an eye.

A cold air suddenly came to Guangzhou, and winter came in an instant. Lu Xiaolan was still wearing autumn clothes the day before, and the next day she was wearing a cotton jacket and shivering with cold.

"Third sister-in-law, didn't they say that the south is not cold? Why do I feel it is colder than ours?"

It happened to be the weekend, and Su Mo was resting at home. She was too busy to spend time with her child some time ago, but now that she has some free time, whenever she has a break, she doesn't send her child to the nursery, but stays at home to play with him.

Lu Xiaolan also took the opportunity to take a break today.

"I've heard a joke before, saying that the cold in the north is a physical attack, and the cold in the south is a magical attack." Su Mo replied with a smile.

"What?" Lu Xiaolan didn't understand.

"It means that the north is dry cold, and as long as you dress warmly, you won't feel how cold it is, but the south is humid, and even the quilt is cold, the kind that makes you feel cold to the bone."

"Yes, yes, yes." Lu Xiaolan agreed.

She slept well last night, but she didn't feel how warm the quilt was. She got up to go to the toilet this time, and it was cold again when she went back. It's not like their place, where they can heat the kang, and once you get into the quilt, it's warm.

"Third sister-in-law, why don't we sleep on the kang here? This winter is so hard to endure."

Su Mo smiled, "It's really cold here for a very short time, just a few days, at most ten days or half a month. When the cold wind passes, it

will warm up again." "When you go to bed at night, take a hot water bottle, fill it with hot water and put it in the quilt. Warm up the quilt before sleeping, and you will feel more comfortable." Su Mo suggested.

At the same time, she also thought about buying two hot water bottles for her parents and Grandpa Zhang. Lu Xiaolan, a young girl, feels cold, and the old man probably feels even colder.

"No need, bring An An Le Le over to sleep with you at night. Children have body heat, which is more effective than hot water bottles." Lu Changzheng just came in and heard what his wife said, and hurriedly suggested.

It was cold that day, so his wife brought the child back to sleep. He was too far away from his wife to hug her.

Lele was unhappy, "I want to sleep with my mother."

"You little rascal, your aunt loves you so much, and now she feels cold when she goes to bed, shouldn't you sleep with her?"

Lele thought about it and thought it was right, so he said, "Then let my sister sleep with my aunt."

"My sister can only sleep on one side, my aunt is cold on both sides."

...

The father and son fought for a long time, and finally Lu Changzheng won and successfully tricked Lele into sleeping with Lu Xiaolan.

At night, Lu Changzheng, who successfully hugged his wife, was very satisfied.

Two days later, Su Mo received a letter from Liu Yuzhi.

After Su Mo returned from her last business trip to Hai City, she sent some cloth and local specialties to the Lu family. The first and second wives also mailed some mountain products to her. They began to exchange letters occasionally.

In her letter, Liu Yuzhi told Su Mo that Yang Jingming had remarried. She didn't know what kind of relationship his family had found to marry the daughter of another brigade leader.
