Everyone was talking at once. At this time, Lu Zhiye was standing on the 6th floor, looking through the window at the scene below.
Zhuang Jianguo was born and raised here. He didn’t think it was a big deal even though the pricing hadn’t been announced before.
Now that I think about it carefully, I feel a little uneasy.
"Mr. Lu, is our price a bit high?"
The sixth floor has been basically renovated. It’s an empty stall with only the two of them, and their voices echo.
Lu Zhiye lit a cigarette and said softly, "Is it high?
If you think so, you haven't figured out the significance of my running this wholesale market.
Once the name of the electronics city is known, people who come to get goods will not run around everywhere.
Salaries nowadays are very different from what they were 10 years ago.
Ten years ago, the average worker's salary was around 30 yuan.
The average wage per person is now around 100 yuan, so a dual-income family can afford a TV in half a year if they save a little.
Therefore, the demand will also increase steadily. Don't underestimate the competitive spirit of the Chinese people.
Especially those in staff compounds.
As more people started doing business, the demand increased dramatically again.
At that time, it was not limited to television and radio.
The people running these stalls make a ton of money.”
Zhuang Jianguo was confused by what he heard, but there was one thing that he took to heart.
"I understand, Mr. Lu. If someone comes to inquire recently.
Should we rent part of it in advance like we did with the Li brothers?"
“No, we just need to use these two to spread the word.
Whoever asked later was told that the lease had not started yet.
Wait until the project is officially completed before you start hanging banners.”
Zhuang Jianguo thought for a moment and understood Lu Zhiye's intention.
As the saying goes, what you can't get will always cause you trouble.
The Li brothers had a wide network of contacts, and by the time the project was officially completed, news had spread to almost all of the dozen or so nearby counties.
By then, people flocked to the place.
Even those who thought it was too expensive before will now see everyone coming to reserve a seat.
They would also grit their teeth and sign the contract without stopping.
As soon as Lu Zhiye returned to his residence, Huo Jianguo came to greet him.
Huo Jianjun's wife and son were standing not far away.
"Xiao Ye, we've been here for almost a week. How's your question going?"
“I came here today to talk to you about this.
I've called Beijing City, and He He said that the old doctor went to the Beijing Military District compound to treat patients.
In three days, we will set off back to the northwest.
Let's discuss whether we should go directly to Beijing or to the northwest?"
Huo Jianguo looked at the anxious people, sighed, and said, "According to what you said, they have already booked their return trip. If we rush to Beijing now, I'm afraid we won't be able to find them for a while."
"Yes, the most important thing is that you have lived in Beijing for such a long time, you should be very familiar with the situation there.
Especially those at the top are very sensitive about their status and are very suspicious.
If we go there suddenly, it will definitely make others think too much.
My suggestion is that we set off for the northwest tomorrow.
Stay there for a few days and wait for Mr. Tan to come."
Huo Jianguo felt that what Lu Zhiye said made a lot of sense, so he quickly walked to the other side and explained the matter to his sister-in-law.
Ajing looked at Lu Zhiye apologetically. She was too anxious.
When Huo Qingjin heard that they were leaving tomorrow, his eyes lit up: "Second Uncle, how are we going to get there?
I heard that most of the transportation in China is by train, can we go by train?"
Huo Jianguo patted him on the shoulder and said, "There is an airport in the provincial capital over there, we can just fly there directly.
This way the journey will be quicker, as it would take about five days and five nights by train.
It takes too long, and your body can’t stand it.”
Huo Qingjin's eyes flashed with disappointment, he pursed his lips and whispered, "But I want to go by train.
I've looked up geography and it's equivalent to crossing most of China.
I want to see the local customs and topography here."
Due to his health, he is either at home or on the way to seek medical treatment.
Even if I go abroad, I just stay in the house.
Huo Qingjin knew that he only had one year to live, and he didn't want to stay in the house for this short period of time.
He wanted to see the outside world.
His words made the eldest sister-in-law of the Huo family's eyes turn red all of a sudden.
The children are sad, and so are they.
The eldest sister-in-law of the Huo family took a deep breath and said, "Jianguo, since the child wants to take a train, let him experience it."
I’m afraid there won’t be another chance in the future.
The eldest sister-in-law of the Huo family did not say the last sentence.
But everyone present understood what he meant.
Lu Zhiye smiled and said to Huo Jianguo: "Let's ask someone to buy a few sleeper tickets.
I heard that there are high-end soft sleeper cabins for Hong Kong businessmen and foreigners.
Once your identity is revealed, you can ask someone to get a few for you, wouldn't that be a safe bet?
It’s almost the same as the bed at home, and you can also see the scenery outside through the window.
It’s not that hard…”
Huo Qingjin's eyes were as bright as light bulbs in the dark night. When she looked at Lu Zhiye, it seemed that Lu Zhiye in front of her was not a person, but a Bodhisattva.
This scene made the people around him laugh.
Lu Zhiye got goose bumps all over his body because of his fiery gaze.
He quickly found an excuse and walked out.
That night, Huo Jianguo came with several soft sleeper tickets.
"You know what, this ticket is really hard to get.
They issued a ton of certificates before they got it to me."
Lu Zhiye chuckled: "It's hard to get a sleeper ticket, let alone a soft sleeper.
Many of them can only be purchased by people at the cadre level.
Ordinary people can’t afford it, nor can they afford it.
A soft sleeper ticket is worth the price of a plane ticket, and only you are rich enough to buy it."
Huo Jianguo smiled and said nothing.
They know better than anyone that the country is in debt.
We are in urgent need of investment from Hong Kong businessmen and foreign capital, so of course we will give them the green light in all aspects.
That night, Lu Zhiye packed a lot of things.
The weather is hot now, so it’s not realistic to bring so many hot dishes and meals.
It would be better to buy it on the train.
Lu Zhiye only prepared dishes for lunch and dinner, but even so, the five of them carried a lot of things.
Huo Jianguo originally didn't plan to let his mother go, but she insisted, and Huo Jianguo had no choice.
