Chapter 406 Patriotic Entrepreneur

Su Mo listened quietly, asking a few questions from time to time.

As they chatted, Su Mo thought of Lu Fengqin, so she asked a question. After all, Lu Fengqin had been in the army for two years, and it was estimated that she should have a home visit leave.

"She hasn't come back yet. She called back two months ago and said she was in the mountain nest. I heard from my mother that my eldest sister-in-law was not very happy. After being scolded by my eldest brother, she didn't dare to say anything." Lu Xiaolan curled her lips.

"Oh, right. Since the reform and opening up, the credit station of the commune has expanded its recruitment. My eldest brother passed the exam and became a formal employee of the credit union. I heard from my mother that he has a salary of 33 yuan per month."

"Really? Then congratulations to my eldest brother and sister-in-law, you have become a dual-employee family." Su Mo said.

Now two people in the first wife have jobs, but only one person in the second wife has one. It's unbalanced, and I don't know if there will be trouble in the future.

"Yes, but the second brother has also been promoted to the director of the processing plant workshop, and his salary has increased to 45 yuan."

Su Mo: ... Well, it's too early to worry. The salary increase can offset a lot. With the work points of the Lujia Village Brigade, Lu Guihua can at least earn 12 yuan a month.

"Then Dad will be very happy, and he can drink two more taels of wine." Su Mo smiled.

"Yes, he is very happy." What

Lu Xiaolan didn't say was that she felt that the eldest and second brothers were promoted probably because of the face of the third brother and his wife. After all, the family produced a military officer and two college students, the third brother was promoted to division commander, the third sister-in-law went abroad to study, and she remarried and married another college student.

The people in the commune were not without vision. Seeing that his family was going to move up, it was not uncommon for them to sell some of the goods.

However, these were ultimately her guesses and it was difficult to say them out loud.

At noon, the aunt and sister-in-law went to a nearby state-owned restaurant and ordered two dishes. Lu Xiaolan rushed to pay the bill. She said that she had already started working, and starting next month, she would have a monthly salary of 52 yuan.

Su Mo listened and felt a little uncomfortable. A college student would only have a monthly salary of 52 yuan after graduation, and judging from Lu Xiaolan's expression, she was still very satisfied with this salary.

The country is still too poor!

Fortunately, at this time, most people still cannot see the gap between us and other countries, otherwise, many people may not have the courage to move forward.

After dinner, the two went to a nearby department store.

In the past few days since Su Mo came back, she has been busy doing reports and writing summaries every day, and has no time to go out for a walk. It’s a good opportunity to take a walk and see what changes have taken place in Beijing after the reform and opening up.

Influenced by the Pierre Cardin fashion show in March, the number of ready-made clothes in Beijing’s department stores has increased significantly. Not only are the colors brighter, but the styles are also trendy.

There doesn’t seem to be any particularly big changes in other things, but some old brands have also begun to quietly revive, such as Quanjude Roast Duck, which was previously regarded as "Four Olds", and has also reopened in Hepingmen.

The aunt and sister-in-law strolled around for an afternoon before returning to the guesthouse.

In the evening, when Ding Zhicheng came to pick them up, the three of them took a taxi to Quanjude and had a delicious roast duck meal.

The next day, after Su Mo confirmed that there was nothing else to do, she packed her luggage and went to the airport to buy a ticket back to Guangzhou.

After the reform and opening up and the establishment of the special economic zones, Guangdong Province, as a province with three special economic zones, increased the number of flights between Beijing and Guangzhou, with one flight in the morning and one in the afternoon.

After buying the ticket, Su Mo called her family at the airport to tell them that she could go back today.

Su Mo took the 2:30 pm flight, and there were not many people. Aviation has not yet been incorporated into the civil aviation industry, so there is currently no distinction between first class and ordinary seats. They are all the same price, and you can sit according to your seat number after buying it.

After Su Mo sat down, she found a middle-aged man in a suit next to her, who was reading an economics book in English. Su Mo thought the man looked familiar, so she looked at him twice.

The man seemed to have noticed Su Mo's gaze, and looked up. When he saw Su Mo, they were both surprised.

"Mr. Huo, I didn't expect to meet you here." Su Mo smiled.

This Mr. Huo is a great patriotic entrepreneur. According to history books, after the reform and opening up was confirmed, he came to China to invest with 13.5 million US dollars the next month.

"I didn't expect to meet Miss Su here either. What a coincidence. What are you doing?"

"I went to Germany as an exchange student last year and just came back."

"That's good. Young people should go out more and see how big the world is, so that they can have the energy." Mr. Huo said.

Because the two knew each other, they chatted all the way.

Through the conversation, Su Mo learned that Mr. Huo came here this time to invest in building a five-star hotel in Guangzhou, but encountered many difficulties. If he wanted to buy any materials, he had to go to more than a dozen units and get more than a dozen stamps, which was extremely inefficient.

He came to Beijing this time to find the relevant departments to issue approval slips.

"It's really too troublesome. If it's in a port city, there won't be so many procedures. The efficiency is really too low. If the country really wants to reform and open up, these procedures must be streamlined, otherwise even if foreign capital comes, it will run away after running through the procedures twice." Mr. Huo said helplessly.

Influenced by his family education, he has a deep affection for his motherland, otherwise he would not have brought most of his wealth to support the national policy as soon as it came out. However, the attitude of the relevant departments really made him complain.

"It would be great if there was an agency, and I would rather pay the service fee than let them handle these procedures." He was really too lazy to deal with some stupid people.

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. Su Mo's eyes lit up when she heard this.

She could run this agency. The

Su family has been in business for so many years, and they still have some connections. In the future, more and more foreign capital will be introduced. These foreign-funded enterprises cannot adapt to the relationship field in China. They will be happy to pay some service fees, which can save trouble and improve efficiency.

This business can at least last for 10 to 20 years before China's various market systems are improved.

"Mr. Huo, if you need anything, just ask. My family still has some connections. If I can help, I will definitely help." Su Mo said.

He took out a small notebook with phone numbers from his bag, tore off a page, and wrote down his home phone number.

"This is my home phone number. If you need anything, just call this number."

Mr. Huo thought Su Mo was just being polite, but since the other party had already written down the phone number, he took out a business card and handed it to Su Mo.

"This is my office address in Yangcheng. Miss Su is welcome to come and have a look when she is free."

"Okay." Su Mo smiled very happily after receiving the boss's business card.

When the company is established, maybe this big guy can become their first customer.
