After leaving the house, he looked at the time on his wrist. It was half past ten in the morning. Zhao Xiaohai thought for a moment, then rode his motorcycle to the city government and went directly to see Mayor Yang.
When the secretary saw Zhao Xiaohai, he stood up in surprise and asked, "Manager Zhao, are you back from Hong Kong?"
Zhao Xiaohai smiled and took out two boxes of something from his pocket and put them on the table. "Three Five cigarettes, British, brought back from Hong Kong, Secretary Chen, try some."
"I feel embarrassed about this." Secretary Chen said with a smile.
Two boxes of cigarettes are nothing, but people are thinking of you, so that's a favor.
"Is the leader here?" Zhao Xiaohai asked.
"Yes, it's rare that I don't have a meeting this morning."
Zhao Xiaohai knocked on the door and heard someone say come in. He pushed the door open and went in. Mayor Yang was also surprised to see Zhao Xiaohai. "Xiao Zhao, you're back. Why didn't you say hello in advance?"
"Haha, I forgot about it while I was busy all the time. Leader, I got the order back and have signed the contract. Please take a look." Zhao Xiaohai said as he took out the contract document.
"Really? Let me see."
Mayor Yang immediately took it and looked at it carefully.
This is what Mayor Yang is most concerned about recently. 2.6 million US dollars is a big order even at the national level, and it also involves the Soviet Union. The higher-ups are paying close attention to it. If he can do this well, it will definitely be an excellent political achievement for him.
In fact, this transaction catalogue,
It was negotiated bit by bit between Zhao Xiaohai and him. Mayor Yang was already familiar with the contents, but only now that he saw the contract did he finally feel at ease.
Mayor Yang looked at Zhao Xiaohai with a delighted expression. "Xiao Zhao, you've made a great contribution this time, and the provincial leaders have even mentioned your name. Xiao Zhao, are you interested in joining the system? As long as you agree, I can use my connections to the municipal government. How about that?"
There is a saying in later generations: "The end of the universe is the establishment, and the end of the establishment is the civil service."
Every year, countless people want to get a civil service position. Not to mention college graduates, even masters, doctors, and overseas returnees are eager to get a job.
Zhao Xiaohai also thought about becoming a civil servant. No, it should be said that before he was reborn, he still wanted to become a civil servant. He worked hard for two years and took the civil servant recruitment exam in his hometown, but failed twice.
There are more teaching positions, but there are very few vacancies for administrative positions suitable for him. Hundreds or even thousands of people are competing for the most ordinary position. Zhao Xiaohai is not an extremely outstanding talent. It is good enough for him to be in the top 20 or 30 in terms of cultural scores. Besides, there will be interviews later.
Everyone knows about interviews.
Working in sales is just a helpless choice, after all, I have to eat and support my family.
Now,
Mayor Yang told him that he could join the government and become a civil servant right from the start. Although Zhao Xiaohai did not work in the government, he knew that in the government, most people would never reach this level in their lifetime.
And now,
The establishment is just around the corner.
Still a cadre.
"Thank you for your kindness, but I'm too unstable to be a government employee. I'll stick with this for now. I'll be at your service anytime you need me."
Zhao Xiaohai chose to refuse.
Mayor Yang looked at him and said, "You just can't bear to give up your business, right?"
"Hehehe." Zhao Xiaohai smiled foolishly.
Actually, it is also an answer.
Since Zhao Xiaohai didn't agree, Mayor Yang didn't force him. After all, this was a reward, not a punishment. The topic ended here, and the two of them talked about the details of the order again.
Originally, Zhao Xiaohai wanted to come here to hand the contract to Mayor Yang and then leave after saying something, but he didn't expect Mayor Yang to hold him back and discuss the orders with him one by one. At noon, Zhao Xiaohai had a bite with the leader in the government cafeteria and continued chatting in the afternoon.
This order is extremely important to Mayor Yang. It can be said to be the most important step for him to move up to the next level. Therefore, he has to ensure that everything is foolproof, so he will be extremely careful.
When talking about cars, Zhao Xiaohai remembered something and said, "Leader, can you leave one of these Volga cars for me?"
China accepted all 30 Volga GAZ vehicles on order, and this order alone was worth US$690,000.
In the 1950s, only senior leaders could ride in Volga. To this day, Volga is still a high-end car. Hongqi was originally modeled after Volga. Even in the late 1980s, it was still a special treatment to be equipped with a Volga car in the army.
Zhao Xiaohai had thought about getting a car before, and even considered getting one in the name of a Hong Kong trading company and driving it to Jiangcheng. Later, he thought it was not appropriate and would expose a lot of things.
This time when importing cars, Zhao Xiaohai had another idea. He would get one from this batch of cars. There would be no problem with its origin. When others knew about it, they would only think that you have great connections and no other messy ideas.
Mayor Yang didn't agree immediately. After a moment's thought, he said, "A lot of organizations are eyeing these cars. As soon as the letter got out, many people called. So, I'll try to leave one for you."
"Thank you, leader."
The two chatted until after three in the afternoon. Mayor Yang had to attend a meeting before letting Zhao Xiaohai leave.
Before leaving, Mayor Yang asked again, "Xiao Zhao, are you going to reconsider the job offer?"
Mayor Yang was afraid that Zhao Xiaohai would miss the good opportunity because of his impulsiveness.
"No, leader, my temper is indeed not suitable for the system." Zhao Xiaohai said, this time with a more resolute tone.
After leaving the government compound, Zhao Xiaohai breathed a sigh of relief.
If it were in his previous life, Zhao Xiaohai would have agreed without hesitation to such an opportunity, but here, that identity was a restriction and constraint for him.
future,
He will develop in the country.
