Chapter 26: Planning the Sea City



After get off work, Huo Qiqi found Gao Qi.

Seeing Huo Qiqi suddenly return after disappearing for half a month, Gao Qi's tense nerves were relaxed. This old lady finally came back. Gao Qi always knew that Huo Qiqi was the leader and backbone of their team.

Seeing Gao Qi trying hard to control his emotions, Huo Qiqi was very satisfied. She knew that Gao Qi had been under a lot of pressure during this period.

"Gao Qi, thank you for your hard work during this period. I brought some gifts this time. You can share them with the brothers later."

"Thank you, boss. Before you left, you left two shipments of supplies. Although the quantity was similar, the quality was different. That's why the reactions on the black market were quite different. The first shipment was of lower quality, and I only exchanged it for 10 boxes of jade, 2 boxes of jewelry, and 50,000 in cash.

The second batch of supplies was of the same quality as our previous batch, so they were very popular on the black market. Perhaps because there is no comparison, there is no harm. The items exchanged in this second batch were even better than before. This time, we got 25 boxes of small yellow croaker, 2 boxes of ginseng, 1 box of Ganoderma lucidum, and over 100,000 yuan in cash.

Seeing Huo Qiqi listening carefully to Gao Qi's report, Gao Qi took a sip of tea and continued

"Oh, boss, you mentioned earlier that you wanted to stock up on some good wine. My brothers bought some on the black market and at the supply and marketing cooperative, and they're all in boxes. We also found some good real estate this time."

"Gao Qi, you and your team have worked hard over the past two weeks. This time, you get 5,000 yuan, the team leader gets 500 yuan each, and the team members get 300 yuan each. I got some Haishi watches this time, you and the team leader each get one. As an extra reward, you get a Phoenix brand bicycle."

"One more thing, Gao Qi. Take the remaining cash and five boxes of small yellow croaker and go to Hai City to open up the black market there. Since you're going by train this time, you won't be able to take much with you. I'll prepare 200 Hai City watches for you. I'll be leaving for Hai City in two weeks and will need to stay there for two months. Find someone to take over your work in Jing City. As for how many people you bring with you, it's up to you."

Gao Qi was shocked by every piece of news today. His hard work in the past half month was worth it. He got 5,000 yuan in cash, a Haishi brand watch, and a Phoenix brand bicycle. What a great boss he is.

As for going to Hai City to develop the black market, he had had the idea for a long time. It was an economically developed part of the country. As for that person taking over his job in Jing City, he needed to think about it carefully.

After making an appointment with Gao Qi to go and see the properties tomorrow, I let Gao Qi leave.

Huo Qiqi took away all the jade, jewelry, ginseng, ganoderma lucidum and the wine, and Xiao Huangyu took away 20 boxes.

Back at the villa, Huo Qiqi examined Gao Qi and the others' collection of fine liquor. Wow! Fenjiu, Guojiao, Wuliangye, two bottles of 1935 Lai Mao, 24 bottles of 1957 Five Star Moutai, 48 bottles of 1967 Sunflower Moutai, and 48 bottles of 1974 Sunflower Moutai. You have to remember, in the 1970s, a bottle of these liquors would have cost a few dozen or a few hundred yuan, but in later generations, they fetched sky-high prices at auction. In her previous world, she'd seen a news report about a bottle of 1935 Lai Mao selling for over 10 million yuan at auction.

It was already 1976. Referring to the historical process of the previous life, the national college entrance examination was resumed in 1977. At that time, a large number of people would flock to big cities, which meant that real estate values ​​would appreciate. If you wanted to buy a large number of properties at that time, you would need to spend more money.

In 1978, with the reform and opening up, the market was liberalized, the gross national product would continue to increase, and the material reserves in society would increase. At that time, the value of the materials stockpiled in one's hands would not be so high, so Huo Qiqi arranged for Gao Qi to open a black market in Hai City.

The next day, I looked at the properties Gao Qi had helped me find. There were 15 courtyard houses, each costing 150,000 yuan, 5 bungalows of over 200 square meters, each costing 300,000 yuan, and 5 three-story villas covering 400 square meters, each costing 100,000 yuan, for a total of 300,000 yuan. Huo Qiqi was always serious about buying houses. After checking out all the properties and finding good locations, she set aside time to transfer all the ownership.

In this way, Huo Qiqi's properties in Beijing have reached 56, including 6 villas, 45 courtyard houses and 5 bungalows.

After Gao Qi completed the work handover, Gao Qi and others spent money, used connections, got certificates, and took a small team to Hai City.

A few days later, Gao Qi and his group arrived in Hai City. They temporarily rented a yard. According to Huo Qiqi's arrangement, on the second day after arriving in Hai City, Gao Qi went to see Huo Qiqi's house in Hai City. The small Western-style building in Hai City had become a public dormitory and was well preserved. Huo Qiqi had the property certificate of the house and could take it back when the time was right.

Because time was very urgent, Gao Qi found the largest group on the black market. With the help of Huo Qiqi's 200-yuan Haishi watch, he quickly gained a foothold. While waiting for Huo Qiqi, Gao Qi continued to recruit people and expand his team. On the other hand, according to Huo Qiqi's requirements, he continued to visit, find good houses, good medicinal materials, collect good wines, and go to the post office to collect stamps.

In the blink of an eye, the day for the Beijing Food Factory's expatriates to go to Shanghai is approaching.

That day, Director Chen told Huo Qiqi that the factory asked those who were going to Shanghai to go home after get off work and make good arrangements. They would go to Hai City three days later.

During this period, Huo Qiqi has been observing. Chen Xiaoshan, the team leader recommended by Gao Qi, has overall abilities that are not as good as Gao Qi's, but fortunately he is very obedient, not afraid of hard work, and gets along well with the people below him, so Huo Qiqi appointed Chen Xiaoshan as acting team leader.

Huo Qiqi left him enough supplies to last him two months of sales, and he didn't need to give him any special instructions for what she needed.

This time, the Beijing Food Factory sent 20 employees to the Shanghai Food Factory for training and study. This 1970s-era green train traveled at a speed of about 120 kilometers per hour, and the journey from Beijing to Shanghai took 10 hours.

There were not many people taking the train at this time, so the environment on the train was pretty good.

This time, the expatriates from Beijing City are learning how to operate and use the advanced equipment of Hai City Food Factory, because in the second half of the year, Beijing City Food Factory will also introduce these equipment.

Huo Qiqi was quite moved when she saw the single dormitory allocated by Hai City Food Factory.

Before traveling through time, Huo Qiqi already owned her own large flat in Haishi and often lived there. When she saw Haishi in the 1970s, she felt quite emotional.

In the 1970s, Haishi's GDP led the country, and it was obvious that the people in Haishi had a strong sense of happiness.

Under Gao Qi's guidance, he looked at his two villas, which were still well preserved. Although they were now police dormitories, he had property certificates and would get these houses back sooner or later.

I asked Gao Qi and others about their development in the black market. The progress was good, so I told Gao Qi to rent another yard near the black market. The black market business here was about to begin.
