Chapter 337 The Orphanage's Lies: The Handsome Flower Boy 37
In 1979, it was extremely difficult for private individuals to directly import automobiles.
However, Shen Ci's identity is that of a patriotic overseas Chinese and an investor, and he went through special channels of the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office and the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation.
The reason given was that the vehicles needed for national construction were imported under the guise of equipment for the foreign-invested enterprises' own use.
Of course, this process is all handled by the system to ensure that the rewards reach Shen Ci through legitimate and legal means.
Without a system, powerful and influential people can also find ways to smuggle cars back to their home country.
Sometimes, a new rule is suddenly added out of nowhere, largely as a special channel opened up for those young masters and ladies.
When Shen Ci's car was sent back, not only did they pay high tariffs, but they also used foreign exchange resources to successfully transport it back.
"Okay, Mr. Zhang."
We'll meet in the coffee shop at the New Qiao Hotel in an hour.
Shen Ci set the location and time.
An hour later, at the coffee shop of the New Qiao Hotel.
Zhang Ming was very punctual. When he met his new boss for the first time, he arrived at the coffee shop fifteen minutes early, wearing a Zhongshan suit with his collar meticulously ironed.
He was probably around thirty-five or thirty-six years old, wore glasses, and had a calm and capable demeanor, his fingers stroking the strap of his briefcase.
Zhang Ming was originally a technical translator at an overseas research institute. He was fluent in German and electronic engineering and had an excellent resume, but he was often ostracized because of his skin color and race.
Not long ago, a middleman approached him and offered him a very high-paying job, where he would work for a new boss who was also Chinese and very wealthy.
His task was to coordinate the introduction of an advanced electronic component production line and related foreign affairs. Zhang Ming did not refuse the high salary offered.
He gave up a prestigious job that outsiders considered to bring honor to his family and instead worked for a businessman. He had no choice; the pay was just too high.
During this period, he frequently received assignments and worked according to his boss's requirements. Of course, he was still paid well. As long as he was paid on time, he felt he had nothing to complain about, and it was much better than his previous job.
But today was the first time he met his new boss, and he felt that it was because of what he had done for his boss during this period that he had gained the boss's approval and passed the boss's test.
He must perform even better this time and leave a good impression on his new boss. During his time working for his new boss, he realized that he liked this job even more.
Instead of the past, when they often faced inexplicable targeting and exclusion because of their identity and skin color, and worked in an unfriendly environment everywhere.
When the time came, Shen Ci appeared precisely on time. Zhang Ming felt as if his vision had been brightened for a moment, causing him to lose his composure for a brief instant.
He knew the boss was a woman, but he hadn't expected her to be such an elegant and composed woman, and so young as well.
"Ms. Shen, hello! I am Zhang Ming."
He bowed slightly and handed over his resume and some documents with both hands.
"Mr. Zhang, please have a seat."
After nodding in acknowledgment, Shen Ci took the document and glanced through it briefly. Zhang Ming's resume was clean and he possessed strong professional skills.
Simply put, this is a talented individual, exactly the kind of elite she needs.
Although the production line provided by the system is a reward, a series of subsequent matters require professional personnel to manage. She is responsible for spending the money, and the personnel are responsible for working for her.
As soon as Shen Ci arrived at the restaurant entrance, he saw the car parked there: a black Mercedes-Benz W126 with a streamlined body and the three-pointed star emblem on the front shining.
It's incredibly luxurious, and many people have already stopped to watch and exclaim in amazement.
"Thank you for your hard work with the car."
Zhang Ming lowered his head.
"It's what I should do."
Ms. Shen, the integrated circuit front-end fabrication production line you commissioned to import includes core equipment such as lithography machines, ion implanters, and thin film deposition equipment, which is currently at a relatively advanced level internationally.
The equipment is being shipped to our bonded warehouse in Tianjin Port in batches.
As per your instructions, I have preliminarily identified several sites that meet the requirements for building a factory. Here is the information…
He handed Shen Ci a thick stack of documents, a string of terms. Shen Ci wasn't very familiar with these areas, but as the boss, even if he couldn't be an expert, he should at least have a basic understanding.
If she doesn't understand something now, she can have the system tutor her when she gets back.
A complete precision electronic component production line includes many things, such as lithography machines, developing equipment, ion implanters, and a lot of diagrams and names in the documents.
These devices were high-tech embargoed goods at the time and were not allowed to be taken away, but there was no system that could not do it.
She brought back and possessed the technology that others couldn't do or bring back, which makes her seem even more capable and powerful.
Shen Ci looked at the documents and asked a few questions from time to time. Zhang Ming answered them all very well, whether in terms of professional knowledge or management, Shen Ci was very satisfied.
What the system arranges is always the most suitable.
“Very good, Mr. Zhang.”
I entrust you with overseeing the production line and the preliminary work for its construction. Report any significant progress to me immediately.
I hope you won't let me down. If it's suitable, I'll give you a raise.
Nothing is more appealing to workers than a pay raise. Nothing beats a tangible paycheck. As long as you work hard, your salary can double!
"Please rest assured, Ms. Shen, I will do my utmost!"
Zhang Ming knew he had passed the test and gained her approval! He quickly made a promise!
Shen Ci originally wanted to make Zhang Ming a special assistant and let him manage the food factory, but seeing how knowledgeable he was in the field, she couldn't bear to waste such a talent.
Let's manage the food factory ourselves, and Zhang Ming will mainly be responsible for the technical aspects.
...
The story begins in Shenjia Village.
Shen Ci arranged the things at hand and inquired about the situation again. There was currently no information about Zhou Weimin in Beijing.
There are too many cities with this name, Beijing. This name is quite characteristic of its time. Every era has its own naming style. There are all sorts of names like "Defend the Country, Serve the People" and "For the People".
Most importantly, they are all around the same age, which makes the search more difficult.
Given the limited information available, Shen Ci continued to have people search while preparing to take Lu Jinnian back.
In the original owner's memory, life in Shenjia Village was very wonderful.
Although she was a girl, her family did not discriminate against her because of her gender; on the contrary, they doted on her, which is why they allowed her to marry someone from another region.
There are many people in the family, all of whom are hardworking and have a great family atmosphere. The daughter lives at home with her son-in-law and grandson, and the parents are not unhappy about having two more mouths to feed.
When the original owner couldn't find her child, she considered going back to try and find a solution, but at that time, she had no money and no status, so she couldn't go back.
Perfect timing, it fulfills a long-held wish.
Shen Ci told Lu Jinnian about going back. Lu Jinnian has been very well-behaved lately, specifically in that he no longer talks to any girls.
When he saw the girl walking towards him, he immediately changed direction and tried not to say anything.
Because the moment he opens his mouth, he habitually tries to say nice things to make people happy.
