"Bang Bang Bang~!"
"Come in."
Secretary Tang's voice carried a hint of majesty.
Zhao Xiaohai pushed open the office door and went in.
Secretary Tang looked up and saw Zhao Xiaohai was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and a look of surprise appeared on his face. "Oh, Xiaohai, you're back. When did you come back?"
Zhao Xiaohai walked over with a smile.
"I just arrived in Green City and got off the train an hour ago. I didn't even have time to drink a sip of water before I came to report to Secretary Tang."
"Oh, you've been on the train for several days. Why don't you go home and have a rest? I'll pour you a glass of water." Secretary Tang said as he made a cup of tea for Zhao Xiaohai in a fine white porcelain cup.
Zhao Xiaohai took it and smelled the tea. It was good tea.
"Xiao Hai, tell me about your experience in Hong Kong this time. What is Hong Kong like? What places did you visit?" Secretary Tang asked curiously after sitting down.
"Haha, actually they are almost the same, except that there are more buildings and cars than here, and people earn more." Zhao Xiaohai said with a smile.
Secretary Tang smiled and shook his head. "When you say this, it makes things seem simple. People say everyone over there lives in apartments, every family has a car, and their monthly salary is more than what we earn in a year here. There's also a huge variety of goods. Otherwise, why would so many people want to go out and see the world?"
"Xiao Hai, you have overseas connections, which is very important. I heard that the city seems to be setting up a 'Overseas Chinese Friendship Trading Company' and is investigating people with overseas connections."
This was the first time Zhao Xiaohai heard of this, and he had never heard of such a company in his previous life.
"Overseas Chinese Friendship Trading Company, what does it mean?" Zhao Xiaohai asked.
Secretary Tang handed Zhao Xiaohai a cigarette and they both lit it.
"Our country is facing a severe shortage of foreign exchange right now, and many companies are looking to export to earn foreign exchange. However, selling products is not that easy, so the city is considering recruiting people with overseas connections. Simply put, they are asking them to find connections and channels to help us sell our products and earn foreign exchange through exports."
Zhao Xiaohai understood now.
When the leader was forced into a corner, he thought of mobilizing the power of the masses. This trick was often used in later generations. For example, if a house could not be sold, he would hold a meeting... cough cough cough.
But for Zhao Xiaohai, it’s not a bad thing.
At this moment,
Many thoughts flashed through his mind.
He registered a company in Hong Kong, and Greenland needs overseas connections to export and earn foreign exchange. Can they operate together?
But it depends on the specific situation. We will talk about it when we really find him.
"Secretary Tang, I have got the TV back. Let me tell you when I can send it to your home." Zhao Xiaohai finally said this.
In fact, Secretary Tang has been waiting for a long time.
"Really? Thank you so much, Xiaohai. Did you have a smooth journey?" Secretary Tang asked with a happy face.
"It's been checked four or five times. They unpacked the box to check the serial numbers and then took apart the back cover to check the parts. But Secretary Tang, don't worry. The procedures for this TV are completely compliant with the law and no one can find any problems." Zhao Xiaohai assured, patting his chest.
"Okay, that's good."
Originally, Zhao Xiaohai said that he would take him home after get off work in the afternoon, but Secretary Tang couldn't wait until then. He found a tricycle at the company and took Zhao Xiaohai home to get the TV. Zhao Xiaohai then followed him to Secretary Tang's house to help install the TV and tune the channels.
Secretary Tang's wife was at home, watching the color TV happily. She made tea and handed cigarettes to Zhao Xiaohai.
Zhao Xiaohai said goodbye and Secretary Tang saw him out.
"Xiao Hai, thank you so much this time. If you have any problems in the future, just let me know." He used to call her Xiao Zhao, but now he calls her Xiao Hai.
Secretary Tang
Secretary Tang raised his hand to interrupt Zhao Xiaohai, "Don't call me Secretary Tang. Call me brother in private from now on, okay?"
"Brother Tang."
"Oh, that's right."
The two chatted for a few more sentences, and then Zhao Xiaohai said goodbye. Secretary Tang returned home. His wife was watching the color TV program and praised Secretary Tang again. Secretary Tang felt a great sense of accomplishment.
"This TV costs at least 1,600 yuan in the mall, but we only spent 800 yuan. And it's made in Japan. It's hard to find even if you have money. The ones sold in the mall are all made in Eastern Europe, and I heard they're not as good as the Japanese ones. You can't even buy this kind of stuff here."
"This little Zhao has saved us a lot of money." Secretary Tang's wife said with a smile.
"Well, Xiao Zhao is a very nice person." Secretary Tang said.
At noon, Zhao Xiaohai returned to Dehua Street. Zhang Lei saw Zhao Xiaohai and hurried over to greet him. "Brother Hai, you're back. I was just in the warehouse. I've finished the accounts. When do you think I can report to you?"
Zhao Xiaohai patted Zhang Lei on the shoulder and said, "It's noon. Let's eat first and talk after dinner."
There are restaurants on Dehua Street. The waiters don’t cook themselves, but eat in the restaurant. The two groups take turns to eat, so as not to delay business.
The meals are generally simple.
A working lunch?
It is impossible to eat lavish meals all day long.
On weekdays, I just stir-fry cabbage, lotus root slices, mapo tofu, etc., and occasionally I’ll splurge and make a meat dish.
After dinner,
Zhang Lei and Qi Wu went to the second floor together and reported to Zhao Xiaohai about the family's business situation during this period. Their current business is mainly sunglasses.
"Brother Hai, the sunglasses business is booming right now. Wholesale three to four thousand pieces a day shouldn't be a problem. As per your instructions, I've already settled accounts with Brother Zhou three times, and the settlements are also done weekly."
After Zhang Lei finished speaking, he handed over the account book and a bag of banknotes.
"Is there anything else at home?" Zhao Xiaohai asked.
"No."
"Then you guys go and get busy. I'll check the account book."
