Chapter 185 Boss, I have a very hot cousin
Half a year later, Li Ye, Jin Peng, Wang Jianqiang and others stood on Zhongying Street again.
The narrow streets seemed to be even more prosperous. Countless mainland tourists turned into clever ghosts and rushed into the shops on the Hong Kong Island side when the personnel maintaining order were not paying attention. They spoke Cantonese, either fluently or poorly, and bargained with the shop assistants on the Hong Kong Island side.
Jin Peng stood opposite the shop selling stockings, looking at the newly changed model sign at the door, suddenly in a trance.
Half a year ago, thanks to Sanshui, we were able to go to Zhongying Street to make purchases thanks to the documents obtained by Mr. Zhang, who dealt in parallel imports. Those products we had never seen before, those pairs of stockings, seemed to have opened up a new world for us.
Half a year later, everything has changed.
Hao Jian's Pengcheng Seventh Factory has already established a firm foothold in Pengcheng and no longer needs help from others to enter the Zhongying Street.
However, the extremely clever Sanshui has gone astray and can no longer join us.
"Hiss~"
Jin Peng was so distracted that he didn't notice the cigarette in his hand burning out, and his fingers were burned.
He threw away the cigarette butt, took a deep breath, diluted the depression in his lungs with fresh air, and then looked coldly at the bustling crowd on the street.
Some people were obviously here for the first time. Just like myself back then, everything they saw was new and new, and they were surprised. Their eyes were rolling around so much that they couldn't stop looking.
Some people are obviously old hands. They choose goods decisively, bargain for prices shrewdly, and hurry by with large and small bags on their backs, ignoring the "newness" around them.
These various people reflect the many trendsetters of this era. Some are still confused, while others are already on the road.
"What kind of person will I become in the future?"
Li Ye held a meeting with Jin Peng, Hao Jian and Wang Jianqiang yesterday, and told them with certainty that in this torrent of change, countless people will rise, but more people will also fall behind.
If you don't want to be the one who falls behind, if you want to have a driver, a bodyguard, and a female secretary in the future, then remember one rule - those who fall behind are not worthy of sympathy.
"Oh~, bodyguard, driver, female secretary? Doesn't that make me a capitalist?"
Jin Peng couldn't help laughing. Li Ye would often say things that would shock and confuse Hao Jian and Jin Peng, but it wouldn't be long before those words would become reality and confuse them again.
"Eh~"
Jin Peng suddenly saw two people appear at the door of the shop across the street.
One of the women was wearing an OL outfit, black stockings and high heels, and looked very much like the female secretary that Li Ye had mentioned.
Jin Peng turned around and said, "Xiao Ye, Xiao Ye, come and see if anyone is coming?"
Li Ye, who was surrounded by a group of veterans, finally poked his head out from the crowd and looked at Pei Wencong and Amin across the street.
Because Sanshui said something harsh before he was taken away, Jiang Hong immediately implemented 24-hour protection for Li Ye.
Jiang Hong learned a lesson on the battlefield: a small negligence could lead to a lifelong mistake, so although being overly cautious may seem ridiculous, it does no harm at all.
Moreover, the smugglers who travel by water these days are not all good men and women.
As Li Ye leaned over to look, nearly ten people on Li Ye's side all looked at Pei Wencong and Amin.
Among them were Jiang Hong, who had fought against white elephants, and four young men who had fought against monkeys on the southern battlefield. Their eyes did not look friendly when they fell on people.
Pei Wencong felt a chill in his heart. He recalled the first time he spoke to Li Ye on the phone. The impression Li Ye gave him at that time was like those gangsters in Causeway Bay who would overturn the table at the slightest disagreement.
Later, as the two got to know each other better, Pei Wencong's perception of Li Ye gradually changed.
But when I look at it today, I feel like he is even more powerful than the boss in Causeway Bay.
[Are these the same people? Which one is the Seven-Inch Blade? ]
Pei Wencong was still able to remain calm, but Amin couldn't help but take a few steps back, his face turning pale.
The level of mutual understanding between the two places in 1982 was probably greater than the misunderstanding between White Elephant and the Flower Planters 40 years later.
40 years later, taxi drivers in Mumbai call Shanghai "Little Mumbai", and feel that if Mumbai doesn't work harder, it will be surpassed by Shanghai.
In 1982, people in Hong Kong thought that people from the north were warriors who were "not afraid of wearing shoes even if they were barefoot."
After all, Great Britain had once heard the sound of the charge on the northern peninsula, which taught them what fearlessness and sacrifice were.
Li Ye raised his hand to push away Jin Peng and others, crossed the center line of Zhongying Street, and walked in front of Pei Wencong.
"Is that Mr. Pei?"
"You are the Seven-inch Blade?"
Pei Wencong listened to the familiar voice and looked at the handsome and smiling young man in front of him. For a moment, he was not sure whether this was the Seven-Inch Blade that had been popular in Hong Kong Island in recent months.
Li Ye smiled and stretched out his hand, saying, "Hello, I'm Li Ye, also Seven Inch Blade."
"Hello, hello," Pei Wencong hurriedly shook hands with Li Ye and said with a smile, "I'm really sorry. I guessed Mr. Li was young and promising when I heard him on the phone, but I didn't expect him to be so young."
"You are right about being young and promising. I am still far from that."
"Mr. Li is modest, modest,"
Pei Wencong held Li Ye's hand and shook it vigorously. This was an experience he learned from a classmate who had been to the mainland. It is said that the greater the amplitude and the longer the shaking, the more it can show one's enthusiasm.
Li Ye felt the "passion" in his hands, but saw a hint of caution in Pei Wencong's eyes, and couldn't help feeling a little amused.
We are all dangerous creatures, so let's not be afraid of anyone else, okay?
Li Ye took out his hand and took out two small boxes from his pocket and handed them to Pei Wencong.
"It's our first meeting, so I prepared a little gift for Mr. and Mrs. Pei. Please don't be so formal!"
"How can this be so embarrassing? How can this be so embarrassing! I'm..."
After Pei Wencong took it, he felt really embarrassed.
Because he didn't prepare a gift for Li Ye.
People in Hong Kong Island attach great importance to these traditional etiquettes, but Pei Wencong never expected that Seven Inch Blade, which always emphasized that "phone bills are very expensive", would be so "sensible".
"Amin, quickly bring over what Mr. Li needs."
Pei Wencong had no choice but to urge Amin to bring the things that Li Ye asked for to make up the number.
Amin quickly handed Li Ye a bag containing several thick books. These were economic books that Li Ye had asked Professor Zhang to list.
There was also a thick envelope containing the ten thousand US dollars that Li Ye requested.
Then, there were three invitations.
"Mr. Li, here is the invitation letter you need. Are you coming to Hong Kong Island for a visit these days? Or are you going to come after the Spring Festival as planned?"
"Is it done so quickly? It seems that Boss Pei's business has become bigger!"
Li Ye joked with Pei Wencong with a smile, because when he asked Pei Wencong to issue him an invitation letter before the Spring Festival, Pei Wencong was not sure he could do it.
But this time, just by greeting him a few days in advance, three cards were opened. It seems that in Hong Kong Island, the relationship between wealth and social status is more closely related.
"This is all thanks to Mr. Li. Now if Mr. Li wants to come to Hong Kong Island, just tell me a few days in advance and I will arrange everything for him."
"Okay, but I won't go this time. I'll call you before I go."
Li Ye took the initiative to shake hands with Pei Wencong again and planned to say goodbye to each other.
Pei Wencong finally couldn't help it at this time. He looked at the retired soldier behind Li Ye and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Li, are you with those people?"
Li Ye looked back and said casually, "I don't go out very often. Grandpa was worried, so he found a few people to send me here."
“Oh~~”
Pei Wencong suddenly realized and filled in a lot of information in his mind.
The keyword "grandfather" leaves a lot of room for imagination.
"Then we'll see each other after the Spring Festival. I'm really sorry this time. I rushed here right after I received the invitations. Time was too tight and I didn't have time to prepare any gifts. It was really rude."
Pei Wencong felt that he had made a mistake this time. After all, the young man in front of him might be his future "noble man".
No, he is his benefactor now. If it weren't for this seven-inch blade, the Talang Literary Publishing House might have gone bankrupt by now.
However, during another warm handshake, Pei Wencong felt the 60,000 Hong Kong dollar watch on his hand being touched by Li Ye, and then he took the watch off.
"Hey, Mr. Li, if you don't mind, I just bought a Rolex. It can be seen as a testimony of our first meeting. Please don't mind it."
Li Ye was very surprised. Looking at Pei Wencong's eyes, he was obviously very reluctant, but his action of taking off the watch was very decisive.
He is a character.
After a few seconds, Li Ye smiled and said, "How can you give away your beloved things casually? I appreciate your kindness, and we'll talk about it next time!"
"That's fine, that's fine, I was too abrupt, hey, Mr. Li, take care!"
Pei Wencong watched Li Ye return to the east side of Zhongying Street, and then Jiang Hong and others surrounded Li Ye in the middle and slowly walked towards the gate.
Amin finally let out a sigh and approached Pei Wencong and said, "Boss, why do I feel that he doesn't look like a writer? He looks like... Anyway, I can't put my finger on it."
"Who do you care who he is? As long as he can help us get rich, he is a good person. Don't talk nonsense when you go back! Otherwise, I will fire you."
Pei Wencong scolded Amin and walked towards the gate to Hong Kong Island while casually opening the two small boxes that Li Ye gave him.
The first time he opened it, Pei Wencong was stunned.
There was actually a badge of my grandfather inside.
"What does he mean by this?"
Pei Wencong was a little confused. After all, in Li Ye's opinion, this thing was very commemorative, but in Pei Wencong's hand, it shone with another meaning.
After Amin saw the badge from the side, he looked at Pei Wencong's expression and immediately found it funny.
However, when Pei Wencong opened the second box, Amin's eyes widened.
Inside the box was an emerald green bracelet.
Pei Wencong was stunned for a moment, then took it out and handed it to Amin: "Put it on, otherwise you might get into trouble when you pass the gate."
There are gates on both sides of Chung Ying Street. Although the control on Hong Kong Island is much looser, you still need to be careful with your valuables.
Amin admired it and put it on his hand, holding it up to the sun to see its color.
"Boss, this looks like ice jadeite!"
Pei Wencong said coldly: "What are you looking at? It's not a gift for you."
Amin curled his lips, then said attentively: "Boss, you are already over 30 years old this year, I have a distant cousin who is very pretty"
"Amin, if you say anything about your cousin again, I will fire you"
"Boss, please don't say that. She is a very nice person."
"Believe it or not, I will deduct your salary"
"Okay boss, I have a cousin."
Pei Wencong quickened his pace to try to escape from Amin's nagging, but Amin ran very fast in her high heels, like a bee in late autumn that had discovered a late-blooming camellia and kept buzzing around it.
