Chapter 302: Golden Avenue (Two in One)
Li Dayong and Pei Wenhui wandered around Beijing for a long time before sending her back to the girls' dormitory of Beijing University.
After Pei Wenhui left, the lingering joy slowly faded away, and a trace of worry emerged in Li Dayong's heart.
He rode his bike back, but when he reached the gate of Peking University, Li Dayong turned back. Seeing that it was already nine o'clock in the evening, he decided to go to Li Ye's dormitory to take a look.
When they arrived at dormitory 209, Li Ye had not returned yet, but Sun Xianjin knew Li Dayong.
"Li Ye usually doesn't come back until half past nine! If you're in a hurry to find him, try your luck along the lake!"
"By the lake?"
"Yes, he is used to taking a walk along the shore of Weiming Lake in the evening."
Li Dayong was a little confused, wondering that his brother never had the habit of taking a walk at night before!
But when he got to the lake and saw the male and female classmates in pairs, he realized, what kind of stroll is this? Isn't it just dating in the dark?
Li Dayong decided to go back first. Wen Leyu is the biggest in the world, and he can't disturb the sweet time of the young couple.
But by coincidence, Li Dayong had only walked a few steps after turning back when he ran into Li Ye and Wen Leyu who were walking towards him hand in hand.
"Dayong, are you looking for me?"
"Hey, brother, I'm here to send Xiaohui back, and I'm here to take a stroll by the lake. The lake in your school is very famous."
"Your words are a little strange," he said with a smile, "Why didn't you come with Xiaohui to the lake? Why are you walking around by yourself?"
Li Dayong chuckled and said nothing.
Wen Leyu looked at Li Dayong and said to Li Ye, "You two brothers can chat first! I'll go back first."
"Okay, remember to go to bed early today! Don't stay up late reading novels, your eyesight has deteriorated."
"I know, I know! You're so long-winded."
After Wen Leyu left, Li Ye called Li Dayong back and asked, "Tell me! What do you want to talk to me about?"
"Ah, Xiaohui and I went to look at the sewing machine today. Sister Xiaoyue took us there."
As Li Dayong walked, he recounted what happened today at the Nancheng Third Machinery Factory, and emphasized Pei Wenhui's performance.
After finishing speaking, Li Dayong said somewhat dejectedly: "Brother, tell me, why are you all so smart?"
"What do you mean we are so smart?" Li Ye said with a smile, "Both my sister and my grandfather said you are much smarter than me, right?"
"That was in the past," Li Dayong said with a wry smile, "but since you repeated your grade, you have become completely different. After arriving in Beijing, I realized that I was really stupid."
Li Ye stopped, pulled Li Dayong, looked at him carefully, and then asked with a smile: "Why, are you not confident in front of Pei Wenhui?"
Li Dayong: “.”
Li Ye continued to ask: "Are you confused and don't understand why Pei Wenhui likes you, Li Dayong?"
Li Dayong: “.”
Even though the two brothers talked about almost everything, and Li Ye even told Li Dayong what kind of girls were better, Li Dayong felt his face getting hot just after Li Ye asked these two questions.
Bragging and talking nonsense are completely different things from showing concern.
Don’t be fooled by some love saints who act all day long. When they really meet the girl they like, they are just ordinary people.
Li Ye patted his brother on the shoulder and said in a relaxed manner: "You should talk to Xiaohui more about her childhood, and then you will find that she has a poor background just like us, and maybe even worse than us."
"She told me this," Li Dayong said, "She said her father died when she was young, and her mother took her and her brother to work as helpers in a food stall.
Sometimes when someone comes to cause trouble or my brother fights with others, she always helps out from behind, just like in the movies."
Li Ye nodded and said, "Yes! But look at Pei Wencong's skinny appearance, can he beat anyone?"
Li Dayong said awkwardly: "Brother, don't say that. He is a patriotic entrepreneur after all. You are insulting him."
"Don't you understand yet?" Li Ye said disdainfully, "What I mean is that Pei Wenhui has lacked a sense of security since she was a child, just like in our hometown. If there is no strong man in the family, she will be bullied by others."
"That's it?"
Li Dayong scratched his head, still not believing it.
Li Ye said: "Not entirely, but brother, let me tell you, in the eyes of some girls in Hong Kong Island, you look very manly."
"Very manly?"
Li Dayong didn't understand at all and asked, "What do you mean, brother?"
“.”
How can I explain this to you? Does it mean that he looks like Ma Dong-seok, the superhero of all-around attack, and gives people a sense of security at first glance?
Li Dayong is actually taller than Ma Dongxi. He is 1.89 meters tall and weighs nearly 200 kilograms without much fat. He is the kind of person that even thieves wouldn't dare to attack him on the bus.
"Don't ask what it means. You just need to know that we are no worse than her."
Li Ye encouraged Li Dayong and said, "As for why you think Xiaohui is smarter than you today, it's only because her experience is different from ours.
When Pei Wenhui was young, she followed her mother to run a food stall business. Later, Pei Wencong opened a publishing house. She was influenced by her mother and naturally developed a business mindset. She was very adept at doing business.
"But think about what we have been doing since we were young?"
Li Dayong was silent for a few seconds, then said weakly, "Didn't we all fight when we were kids, brother?"
Li Ye was speechless for a moment before he said, "What I mean is that as long as you study patiently and work hard, you will not be worse than Pei Wenhui."
"Besides, Pei Wencong's family has been able to struggle to this day, and I don't know how much hardship they have endured. They are fundamentally the same kind of people as us, and they don't resist people like you and me.
If you don't believe me, think about your days in Hong Kong Island. Pei Wencong didn't stop you from dating Pei Wenhui, right? "
"That's right."
Li Dayong recalled the days when he was stranded in Hong Kong Island. Pei Wencong's family were indeed very kind to him.
But what Li Dayong didn't know was that Li Ye hadn't said anything.
Hong Kong girls may like very manly guys, but they don’t care about anything else.
When Li Ye brought Li Dayong with him, it showed that he was his "brother". Without Li Ye's endorsement, Pei Wencong might have separated Li Dayong and Pei Wenhui in advance.
After all, Pei Wencong became rich only after following Li Ye, so would Li Ye’s brother be a poor guy?
"Okay, stop thinking about it and go back!"
Li Ye pushed Li Dayong onto his bicycle and said, "On Saturday, invite Pei Wenhui to join us for dinner. Your concerns will soon be dispelled."
Li Dayong hesitated and asked, "Is she willing to participate in our activities?"
Li Ye said: "Then why don't you ask!"
. . . . . . .
Since the eight-member group left Erliangdian and went to Beijing, they have each formed their own new social circles, breaking the state of being inseparable from each other day and night.
Every week when we have dinner at Zaojun Temple, there are always people who don't come because of something else. Sometimes there are six or seven people, sometimes only three or five, and the least number of people was only Li Ye and Wen Leyu.
Fortunately, Jin Peng, Lao Song and others provided support, otherwise, we would have to prepare a basket of meat and vegetables at a low price for Pavlov!
But in general, the existence of the Zaojun Temple dinner has played a good role in maintaining the small group of eight people. Although there are always people absent due to some matters, the close relationship between them has never faded.
So when they knew that Li Dayong was going to bring a "new female classmate" to the dinner, none of the eight people were absent. Just like looking at a bride, they all came to take a look at Pei Wenhui, the "Hong Kong Island student".
Han Xia came close to Hu Man and whispered, "How come you have time to come today? I haven't seen you for three consecutive times."
Hu Man glanced at Han Xia and replied, "I don't want to come, but I'm afraid you will spread gossip to me."
Han Xia smiled and asked, "Do you regret it?"
Hu Man chuckled and shook her head: "To be honest, I really hope Li Dayong can cheer up. If he continues like last semester, I won't dare to come to the party."
At that time, Li Dayong went to Hu Man's school all day long, so Hu Man had to ask Li Ye to help her refuse. Later, Li Dayong became increasingly haggard because of Lin Qiuyan's affairs, and Hu Man rarely came to Zaojun Temple. When she came here today, she felt quite relieved.
Han Xia twisted her mouth and shouted to the students in the yard: "Everyone, be serious! They are foreign guests, don't make jokes that shouldn't be made."
Fu Yingjie, who was lighting the stove, said, "Oh, stop talking. You are the one who likes to joke the most, Han Xia. You are also talking about others."
Han Xia raised her eyebrows, pinched her waist and shouted, "Fu Yingjie, are you looking for a fight? Have you become more capable since arriving in the capital?"
"No, no, no, I can't beat you two. Spare my life! Please don't really hit me! Lao Yan, quickly hold your wife back."
“Hahahaha~”
Han Xia and Yan Jinbu were both admitted to Beijing Institute of Chemical Technology. After more than a year of getting along with each other, there were already signs that their relationship was about to break up.
College students these days are still very reserved when it comes to love. Only a very few dare to write love poems. Many honest kids cannot take that step for several years. It can be said that in school, there are far more people who have secret crushes than those who are in love.
Han Xia and Yan Jinbu are fellow villagers and classmates, and they are thousands of miles away from home but study in the same school. So it was natural for them to come into contact with each other, wasn't it?
But even though Fu Yingjie spoke out in front of so many people, Han Xia still chased and beat Fu Yingjie with laughter and scolding. The taciturn Yan Jinbu also opened his arms in anger to stop Fu Yingjie from running around the yard. This is a typical example of a man helping his wife to abuse her.
"Come on, come on, everyone line up."
Jiang Xiaoyan, who was standing guard at the door, ran back and shouted, and everyone quieted down. Fu Yingjie even quickly tidied his clothes and smoothed his hair.
Li Ye and Li Dayong rode a bicycle each and entered the courtyard of Zaojun Temple.
Pei Wenhui got off the back of the bicycle and looked at her five classmates lined up in two rows of boys and girls, as if they were lining up to welcome her. She was visibly stunned for a moment.
Li Ye couldn't help but laugh and said, "What are you doing? We are all family, don't be so serious. Let me introduce you. This is Pei Wenhui, and Li Dayong, an international student from our school. Introduce our classmates to her."
Li Dayong said calmly: "This is Han Xia, this is Hu Man, this is Jiang Xiaoyan"
Pei Wenhui followed behind Li Dayong and greeted everyone one by one. Her sweet smile was very friendly.
"This is my first time attending a party, and I don't know what everyone likes, so I only brought some of the latest released tapes. Please don't mind."
Pei Wenhui did not bring any expensive gifts, so as not to make people think she was superior. At that time, tapes were the students' favorite things, and they were not expensive.
"Xu Wenqiang is here! And his girlfriend Feng Chengcheng."
"You all misunderstood this! Xu Wenqiang's partner is not Feng Chengcheng, but Zheng Yuling."
"Who is Teresa Teng's partner?"
"Teresa Teng and Chan Kong-sang had an affair, but they broke up later for unknown reasons."
It has to be said that celebrity gossip from Hong Kong Island is much more attractive than tapes. Pei Wenhui only came in for a few minutes and she attracted all the girls present to come over, and they were chattering happily.
And when it came time to start cooking, Pei Wenhui, who spoke softly and sweetly and had a delicate figure, turned out to be extremely dexterous. She could cut vegetables and cook, just like Jiang Xiaoyan.
This surprised everyone and greatly increased their favorability towards them.
Being able to both be a lady in the living room and in the kitchen not only makes men feel happy, but also makes friends admire and like her.
Li Ye poked Li Dayong, pursed his lips and said, "Do you understand?"
Li Dayong was stunned for a moment and asked, "Brother, what did you say?"
Li Ye asked: "How does the status of this classmate Pei Wenhui compare to that of classmate Lin Qiuyan?"
Li Dayong was silent for a few seconds, then shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Lin Qiuyan's father is a factory director, Pei Wenhui's elder brother is a billionaire, and they are also patriotic travelers who participated in the National Day celebrations. There is no need to compare to know who is superior and who is inferior.
Li Ye asked again: "So, between the two of them, who has more extensive knowledge?"
Li Dayong shook his head again and said nothing.
At first, Lin Qiuyan always told Li Dayong, "What's going on overseas, my cousin is doing this and that overseas."
But Pei Wenhui was originally an "overseas" person, and she drove a luxury car and lived in a luxury house. After the BMW was driven into the ditch, she immediately changed to a Ferrari.
But Lin Qiuyan was unwilling to contact Li Dayong's classmates at that time. Although it cannot be said that she "disdained to associate with them", she was also very resistant.
Who made us all peasants from the countryside?
But look at Pei Wenhui now. Although she looks glamorous and beautiful, how can she have the airs of a young lady from Hong Kong?
Li Ye patted Li Dayong's arm again and asked, "During the time Pei Wenhui came to Beijing, how many times has she approached you?"
Li Dayong said: "Four times, I told her that there were thieves on the buses in Beijing and asked her to wait for me at Beijing University, but sometimes she still came to find me."
Li Ye chuckled and said, "Have you figured it out now? This is the kind of girl I told you about before. You like her, she likes you, and neither of you feels wronged when you are together."
Li Dayong suddenly remembered that it was in this Zaojun Temple that he asked Li Ye what kind of girl he would pursue in the future and Li Ye explained those reasons to him.
Pei Wenhui in front of him now seemed satisfied except that he did not try hard to pursue her.
Even the shoes are size 36.
"Brother, it turns out you really don't lie."
"Hey, don't talk nonsense!" Li Ye said with a smile: "Whether I lie or not depends on who I lie to."
. . . . . . . .
In mid-November, Li Dayong was surprised to inform Li Ye that the new sewing machine had finally met the basic requirements after more than half a month of full-scale research and development.
However, this time, it was not Pei Wenhui who went to preside over the acceptance alone, but Hao Jian brought several experienced technical workers from Pengcheng to Beijing.
Whether the equipment is useful or not depends on the workers.
Li Ye hates the kind of expert-style acceptance the most, which is full of technical terms and cost requirements, but when it is delivered to the hands of front-line workers, they are not used to it and have to "carry forward the spirit and try hard to overcome it."
Jin Peng drove the car himself, taking Li Ye and Hao Jian to the South City Third Machinery Factory. On the way, Hao Jian proudly "took credit" from Li Ye.
"His godfather, I actually wanted to come to Beijing a few days ago, but there are too many orders for this autumn's Canton Fair.
The Hong Kong Fenghua Company alone placed an order of seven million, and the rest of the overseas merchants placed another six or seven million. It took me more than half a month to make all the arrangements."
Hao Jian had to be proud. After the Canton Fair this spring, he only had a surplus of 150,000 US dollars. When it increased to 1.7 million in the summer, he was extremely happy.
As a result, in just a few months, the foreign exchange earnings exceeded 10 million US dollars. He had never dreamed of such a growth rate.
These days, Hao Jian is not only busy with production in the factory, but also attends various meetings and drinking parties. Now, Director Hao Jian has become a "young hero" in Pengcheng.
Li Ye smiled and said, "Then you have to work harder. Next year will probably be even busier. Lao Pei has already acquired two trading companies that specialize in shipping goods overseas. It is estimated that next year's orders will double."
"It's OK if he increases it eightfold," Hao Jian said proudly, "His godfather, to be honest, the phone in my office is ringing all day long. Those outsourcing companies are chasing me to ask for foreign exchange orders. No matter how large the volume is, I can take it.
But I still try to have our own factories produce as much as possible, so now we have more than 25,000 employees."
"You have 80,000 employees, but you still have to give me the goods first! You can't always sell to foreigners and ignore our compatriots in the mainland, right?"
Jin Peng, who was driving, cursed with a smile: "I am also followed by a lot of people now, asking me for Fenghua brand clothes every day. Some even threatened me that if I don't match them with Fenghua brand clothes, I will not sell my ordinary clothes anymore."
"Threaten you? Who dares to threaten you? Are you rebelling against them?"
Hao Jian said domineeringly: "Didn't Li Ye give us some advice two years ago? If anyone doesn't obey, then we can support an obedient dealer to compete with him.
Our factory has tens of millions of spare cash in its account! Even if we sell it at a loss, it will kill him.”
When the team first opened, Hao Jian and Jin Peng were both front-line salesmen. They personally developed sales channels, so they were familiar with the tricks used by those dealers.
Jin Peng said: "Then I can deal with them without you, but you can't just rely on tricks to do business, you have to give people benefits! You have to distribute it reasonably in the future, and you must give me more Fenghua cards."
Hao Jian said: "Okay, okay, we can allocate the production next month, just hold on for now!"
Li Ye sat in the back seat of the Crown car, watching his two generals showing off to each other, which was somewhat amusing.
After two years of experience and the rapid development of Pengcheng Factory No. 7, these two guys have gained some confidence as leaders, but they have also become a little arrogant.
I'll have to find an opportunity to give them a lesson later. Don't think you are so great that you look down on others.
Next year, when the dual-track market system begins, I don’t know how many talented people will start to invest in it, and in a few years, the seller’s market will be transformed into a buyer’s market.
Now as long as you have goods in hand, you don’t have to worry about not being able to sell them. But in a few years, it won’t be that easy!
. . . . . . .
Li Ye and Hao Jian's Crown car quickly arrived in South City, but when they were not far from the Third Machinery Factory, they found that Li Yue's Volga was parked on the side of the road. Li Dayong, Pei Wenhui and several others were standing there with gloomy faces.
Jin Peng pulled the Crown car to the side, and after the three of them got out of the car, he asked, "What's wrong, Dayong? Why are you waiting here?"
Li Dayong walked up to Li Ye and whispered, "My teacher's classmate is the deputy director of the workshop of the Third Machinery Factory. He used the equipment and materials in the factory to complete the trial production of the sample.
But I don’t know who reported it, and the factory punished me, and the equipment was locked in the warehouse. Now we don’t know what to do.”
Hao Jian was stunned, and immediately frowned and said, "What's going on? We came all the way here, but we can't see anything?"
Hearing Hao Jian's complaints, Cao Zhisheng, Tang Mingtai and others standing on the roadside were also very upset. They had been fighting for their lives for more than half a month.
I had originally planned to hand it over to the factory for production after the trial production was successful and I received the research funding. But today the buyer finally arrived, and I ended up with this kind of fork.
Li Ye walked over and whispered a few words to Pei Wenhui.
Pei Wenhui walked up to Cao Zhisheng with a smile, pointed at Hao Jian who looked like a big boss and said, "Hello, teachers. That's the director of Pengcheng Factory No. 7. Can we find a way to let him see our products first today?"
Cao Zhisheng opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, but Tang Mingtai said, "Comrade Xiao Pei, it is indeed a bit inconvenient at the factory today. Can you wait a few more days?"
Pei Wenhui smiled and said, "Of course you can wait a few days, but I want to ask you, have you fully mastered the production technology of the new sewing machine?"
Tang Mingtai said: "Yes, and I can tell you clearly that we have kept a trick up our sleeve. Although the samples in the factory can be operated now, they cannot produce them without us."
Pei Wenhui nodded, opened her bag and began to count out the money.
"I will pay you the research fee first, and then you will take us to see the machine. If the machine can meet the standards, then we can talk about the technology transfer fee."
“.”
"Technology transfer fee?"
Cao Zhisheng, Tang Mingtai and others were stunned and looked at each other in wide eyes.
Does this girl mean that I can get the money three times?
But when Pei Wenhui handed the money to Cao Zhisheng, he had to believe it even if he didn't believe it.
"I'm going to take you to see the factory manager now, but don't say anything, or he'll ask for too much."
"It's okay to open your mouth wide," Pei Wenhui said, "As long as you master the technology, we can choose another factory to produce it, but you must ensure that the production can go smoothly."
"That's no problem. I know a small factory that can produce it. It's just a little far away, thirty kilometers to the north."
Tang Mingtai suddenly felt that his mind was opened up, and a golden road appeared before him, shining brightly.
I made a mistake today, I combined two chapters into one, and I also missed the release date, eh~
