Chapter 208 Li Ye, how can you say you are innocent?
"Here's what happened. I gave my seat to the woman with a sick child. I thought they were the ones who needed the seat the most.
Those international friends were generally strong and healthy, and Naoto Nakamura was only in his twenties. How could he think it was natural to give up his seat to him?"
“.”
"Bang~"
"That's actually what happened. Damn it. If I had known, I would have yelled back at you yesterday. You are a bunch of weak-kneed people. You are wrongly accusing my students."
"Tomorrow I will ask them, have the principles they learned in school been forgotten? Do you still have the nerve to file a complaint with Kyoto University?"
Professor Zhang pointed out what happened on the airport bus that day, so Li Ye had to explain it truthfully.
As a result, Professor Zhang slammed the table in anger.
He received the inquiry call transferred from the school and responded neither harshly nor softly. He wanted to ask Li Ye what was going on today so that he could help him clean up his mess.
They didn't expect this to happen. Kyoto University had never suffered such humiliation before and immediately came back to settle the score.
Li Ye was also very angry, so he asked Professor Zhang: "Sir, which department did you file a complaint against me? I asked that person about his unit, but he didn't dare to tell me."
"Don't worry about this. As a student, you shouldn't get into too much trouble. I'll get you back."
Professor Zhang spat a few words in anger, then asked Li Ye: "What did you do at the airport? Did you send a classmate or a friend off?"
"No, I went to Hong Kong Island and brought back a lot of books and magazines."
Li Ye briefly described his whereabouts, but Professor Zhang and several others were not interested in who Li Ye communicated with. They were all attracted by Li Ye's sack of books and magazines.
Yu Xiufen said, "Li Ye, I saw you bring in a sack and thought it was some kind of Dongshan specialty peanuts and dates! But you actually used it to hold books? Look at what you have done to the book cover, it's all torn!"
"Li Ye is a rich young man, unlike us poor kids who have to save up half a month's salary to buy a book.
I asked someone the other day, do you know how much Seven-Inch Blade earns in a year? I'll scare you to death if I tell you, it's more than the teacher's three-year salary."
"Oh my god, no wonder he uses so much oil when cooking! It turns out he is a wealthy man."
Ever since Pei Wencong learned about Li Ye's need for economics books, he began to help him pay attention to some related popular books and famous economics journals.
The Kyoto University Library has definitely subscribed to top journals such as Lighthouse Economic Review, Econometrics, and Economic Research Review.
However, due to limited foreign exchange, the subscription of slightly lower-level publications such as "Economic Journal" and "Games and Economic Behavior" might not be covered, so Li Ye set a monthly quota of HK$10,000 for Pei Wencong and asked him to help buy them for him.
After these books are reviewed by Professor Zhang, they will be selectively taken to the office to be shared with other economics teachers. After all, some of the viewpoints are definitely not appropriate given the current environment in the mainland.
On this point, Li Ye still trusts Professor Zhang, Yu Xiufen and others. After such a long time of contact, they have never had any bad intentions.
Unlike some people nowadays, who find a foreign language article, translate it, and publish it in China under their own name. If they publish enough articles, they can be promoted and get a salary increase, and they call it "filling the domestic gap."
"Junior brother, the books you brought this time are a bit messy! What is this? Wow~"
Li Ye was cleaning up the dishes with Teacher Lu when they suddenly heard Yu Xiufen's exaggerated exclamation.
Li Ye hurried over to check, and saw that it was nothing serious. He was so embarrassed that he almost picked his toes.
These should be some fashion magazines selected by Hao Jian and Jin Peng for Pengcheng Seven Factory, but Hong Kong magazines always have some avant-garde pictures.
Given the pure environment in mainland China in 1983, a photo of a celebrity in a swimsuit could make the kids blush, and Hao Jian and Jin Peng even bought some intentionally or unintentionally to satisfy their cravings. How could this be tolerated?
"I really didn't pay much attention to these. They were all given to me by my cultural friends there. Besides, they are considered serious books and periodicals there."
Li Ye could only keep his face straight and act like a gentleman, saying that he had never seen it.
He really hasn't seen it. After all, he is a man who has watched countless movies. Why would he spend money on a magazine like this?
"Humph, this is all people corrupting you step by step!" Professor Zhang said seriously, and then said to his wife: "Put them all away quickly, don't pollute the children's eyes."
Teacher Lu took away all the magazines with a sullen look on his face.
Then, Peng Rui, Zou Mengcheng, and even Wang Zhiyuan all cast dissatisfied glances at Yu Xiufen. If they had not been at the teacher's home, the three of them would probably have launched a collective siege-style criticism against Yu Xiufen.
"If there is dirt in your heart, everything you see will be filthy. Yu Xiufen, your heart is not clean anymore."
But Yu Xiufen glared back without showing any weakness. The three big men immediately lost their temper and turned to glare at Li Ye.
"Li Ye, you must be vigilant in the future and not be corrupted by external corrupt ideas."
"Don't let your imagination run wild when you are young. You should spend your best years studying. Even though we are working now, we are still listening to the teacher's teachings."
Li Ye: “.”
[You all bully me because I'm a good kid, right? ]
Li Ye rolled his eyes and said, "I really don't know about these magazines. During the few days I was in Hong Kong Island, I was busy discussing the economic situation of Hong Kong Island with some friends from Hong Kong University."
"They all believe that the current economic focus of Hong Kong Island is shifting towards finance and real estate, while the business sector is gradually becoming 'ready-to-eat',"
All businesses emphasize speed in process, pragmatism in results, and blind pursuit of maximizing economic benefits. "
“So I think that Hong Kong Island’s manufacturing industry, which once had an advantage, needs to be relocated to areas with lower labor costs.”
“.”
When Li Ye first started talking, Yu Xiufen and the others thought that the kid was trying to change the subject to avoid embarrassment, but as Li Ye continued talking, they actually started to listen carefully.
Industrial transfer is certainly not a new term for scholars like Professor Zhang who study the world economy. However, due to the geographical relationship between Hong Kong Island and the mainland, and the increasingly warm environment of reform and opening up, the connection between them is quite interesting.
After Li Ye stopped talking, Professor Zhang thought for a moment and said, "Write an article based on what you just said and show it to me. If it's interesting, I'll recommend it to you for publication."
“.”
Li Ye was stunned for a moment, then said: "Teacher, I have never written a paper, how about you come"
Professor Zhang glanced at Li Ye unhappily and said, "Is this level of paper worth writing? Can't you write it well?"
Li Ye agreed with a wry smile. It was just an idea that suited the current situation, and he felt that it really had no real value.
The few of them discussed for a long time and finally said goodbye as it was getting late.
A small incident happened when I was leaving.
Yu Xiufen, Peng Rui and others actually took out their "food expenses".
Seeing several fellow students handing change and meal tickets to Teacher Lu, the teacher's wife, and Teacher Lu not refusing, Li Ye quickly took out his wallet.
In the 1970s and 1980s, many people had to bring food coupons when visiting other people's homes, because no one had enough food, and it was not uncommon to spend a month's food ration on a festival.
But Teacher Lu said, "Li Ye, put your wallet away. Your food allowance is free this year. You have to come once a week. You have to come. Do you understand?"
"Master, you are biased again."
"That's right, with our junior brother, we are no longer favored."
"Get lost! The meat and vegetables you ate today were brought by Li Ye, and the meal was cooked by him. If you keep saying weird things, I will punish you."
“Hahahaha~”
Everyone laughed and dispersed.
Li Ye felt that this was a good idea, as those who could say strange things were his own people!
. . . . . . .
The next evening, Li Ye solemnly convened the first general shareholders meeting in 1983, and even called Li Dayong, who had been absent several times, to attend.
The first item on the agenda of the conference was to severely criticize the lustful and bad ideas within the team.
"You guys just buy magazines! Why are you sandwiched between my magazines? Do you know that my clean image was almost ruined because of a few magazines?"
Jin Peng: “.”
Hao Jian: “.”
You know all the sizes of your girlfriends, and you still have the nerve to say that you are innocent? What if we both don't have wives? Who are you trying to fool?
Besides, it’s not like you haven’t seen “Dragon Tiger and Tiger Sun” in Hong Kong Island. Do you think we haven’t seen it?
Also, look at the calm look of Miss Wu in Monopoly. She doesn't look like a novice at all.
Pfft, disgusting!
"Yes, yes, yes. We will be careful next time and buy magazines to ensure that you, Xiaoye, don't see them."
"Yes, yes, Brother Ono is a serious person, we... cough cough cough cough."
Li Ye rolled his eyes in anger, but he had no choice but to talk about the second topic.
"There are two tasks for the first half of this year. The first is to speed up the progress of entering major shopping malls as much as possible, and at the same time implement brand building. We will communicate the specific situation at any time."
"The second is the renovation of Xiushui Street. Although the specific construction is in charge of the street, since we have paid for it, we must put forward our own requirements and cannot just be taken advantage of."
Jin Peng said: "I have some difficulties here, mainly because we don't have enough manpower, especially experienced and capable people. Also, Mr. Hou from Xiushui Street has contacted us several times and it seems that he wants to cooperate."
Li Ye waved his hand and said, "We don't touch unclean things. Tell them directly that everyone should play in their own wells and not interfere with each other. Don't make things uncomfortable."
The severe crackdown in 1983 was about to come, and Li Ye would be a fool to cooperate with Boss Hou, who was dealing in smuggled goods.
After listening to Li Ye's words, Jin Peng nodded and agreed. When everyone joined the partnership, Li Ye had said that he had absolute control over business issues. Now, as long as he said that he would ignore Boss Hou, the other party would give up the idea.
The rest was basically fine, but at the end of the conversation, Li Ye asked Li Dayong: "Dayong, you don't look good recently, are you worried about something, or have any difficulties?"
Li Dayong shook his head and said, "Brother, what's the problem with me? I have everything I need."
"It's good that there is no problem, but if there is anything, you must let me know," Li Ye looked at Li Dayong who was obviously thinner, and said, "Dayong! No matter what, remember one thing, we are brothers. I will not harm you."
"I know, brother. Don't think too much. I'm really fine."
“.”
After the meeting, Li Dayong wanted to ride his bicycle back to school, but Wang Jianqiang grabbed his bicycle and threw it onto the 130 bus, then started the car with a silly smile and sent him back.
Jin Peng looked at the taillights of the car and said quietly, "I checked. Dayong's matter is related to you, Xiaoye."
Li Ye was surprised and asked: "How could it be related to me?"
"Dayong wants to find a girl like Miss Wen, but how can it be that easy?"
Jin Peng spat the cigarette in his mouth onto the ground and crushed it with his feet.
"That girl named Lin Qiuyan is from the provincial capital. Her father is a factory director, a lowly official, and the girl he raised has a bad temper.
I heard from Fu Yingjie that Dayong's appetite has decreased a lot recently, it seems that the girl thinks he is too strong."
Only then did Li Ye recall that Lin Qiuyan seemed to be a bit "similar" to Wen Leyu.
Tall, small shoes, family
Fuck, what the hell is this!
I took my child to the hospital today and spent a lot of time there. Drawing blood was as difficult as slaughtering a pig. After we came back, Lao Feng seemed to have been infected. He had a runny nose, sore throat, and dizziness. I really can’t write any more, so that’s all!
Thanks to the book friends
