Zhou Fang was embarrassed: "I did bring some funds here, but... I think it's just a drop in the bucket."
"I have the funds, you just need to provide someone."
"That won't do. Even though I don't have much, I still have to pay for it."
Lu Qingyang laughed: "Okay, then it's yours."
In fact, the garment factory is just the first step to test the waters, and he has other goals.
As for the funds, the gold nuggets in the space and so on, they can be put to use now.
There is no way to exchange it for money in China, but now that we have dealings with Hong Kong City, we can exchange it for money in Hong Kong City and then bring it here.
He just needed a reasonable identity to go to Hong Kong City.
Zhou Fang was told by Lu Qingyang, "Let's go to Hong Kong City!"
He was so shocked that he didn't come back to his senses for a long time, his mouth slightly open, his eyes wide open, as if he had heard some Arabian Nights fairy tale.
"Qing...Qingyang? Are you...you're kidding? Hong Kong City? How do we get there?"
"Zhou Fang, don't panic." Lu Qingyang poured him a glass of water and motioned for him to sit down. "Sit down and talk. I'm not kidding. I really want to go."
He stopped smiling and became serious. "Let's go there under the pretext of an investigation. I heard that there is an investigation team going there. Let's go with the investigation team to see what's going on."
"You mentioned relationships, but you forgot Uncle Qin's relationship. I believe he will definitely help us."
When Qin Zhenhua answered the phone, he was shocked by the ideas of the two young boys. They are young in stature but very courageous.
"You guys are going to go to Hong Kong City with the inspection team?"
Lu Qingyang's voice came through the slightly noisy telephone line: "Yes, Uncle Qin, can you help us arrange it?"
On the other end of the phone, Qin Zhenhua held the receiver and didn't speak for a long time.
The office was so quiet that you could only hear the ticking of the wall clock.
He was indeed shocked by the audacity of these two young men.
Go to Hong Kong? Follow the inspection team? This idea... is really like a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger!
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant: policy risks, complicated procedures, and safety considerations.
Any problem in any link may bring unpredictable troubles and may even implicate him.
"Nonsense!" Qin Zhenhua reprimanded subconsciously, frowning, "Do you know what it means to go to Gangcheng? How complicated are the procedures? The inspection team is going there with an important mission. In what capacity are you following? What are you two young boys doing there? It's simply unrealistic!"
On the other end of the phone, Lu Qingyang and Zhou Fang's hearts were in their throats. Zhou Fang was so nervous that his palms were sweating and he dared not breathe.
Lu Qingyang took a deep breath, he knew this was a crucial fight. He adjusted his tone, neither humble nor arrogant, but with a calmness and persuasiveness beyond his age:
"Uncle Qin, you are right to criticize us. We were not thoughtful enough and made you worried, but we are not impulsive."
"We have reached a preliminary agreement on the compensation trade project with Feihong Factory, which is a concrete action to respond to the country's policy of attracting foreign investment and revitalizing the economy.
Now I urgently need to go to Hong Kong to complete two key tasks: one is to conduct an on-site inspection of local garment factories and learn advanced management processes and quality standards, which is the key to ensuring that domestic cooperative factories produce qualified export products; the other is to personally participate in equipment selection and procurement negotiations.
Although the other party trusts us, the equipment investment is huge and the value is not cheap. As the representative of the internal partner, we must see it with our own eyes, touch it with our own hands, and understand the clarity and price before making the most favorable decision for Feihong Factory and the internal party. After all, seeing is believing. "
"We don't want to infiltrate the core of the inspection team. We just hope to accompany the team and take advantage of the official itinerary and customs clearance of the inspection team. During our stay in Hong Kong, we can act completely independently and will never interfere with the normal work of the inspection team. Our identity is the early technical coordinator of the project sent by the factory."
“Uncle Qin, if this project is successful, it will be a benchmark case in Suicheng.
It not only solved the employment and food problems of hundreds of people in the Red Star Factory, but also earned much-needed foreign exchange for the country and explored a feasible cooperation model.
The purpose of our trip is to implement this project in a down-to-earth manner.
We assure you that we will be careful in what we say and do, abide by the discipline, focus only on the project itself, and never cause trouble to you and the inspection team! "
Qin Zhenhua was silent because he thought of Fang Zhongwen.
Even without his connections, as long as the Fang family said something, there would definitely be someone willing to help him with this.
Besides, the words from this kid's mouth are indeed well-organized and have been carefully thought out.
Times have indeed changed.
The message from above is becoming increasingly clear: we must liberate our minds and boldly experiment.
Aren't young people like Lu Qingyang and Zhou Fang who dare to think, act and seize opportunities the new forces most needed in the early stages of reform?
Give them a chance, maybe they can really make a name for themselves.
"Qingyang, Qingyang...you are so brave, you really inherited your father's courage when he was young!"
He sighed, then changed the subject, "I know about this. The delegation will leave for Shenzhen next week, and the final destination is Hong Kong. The trip will last for a week."
"I will ask my secretary to contact the foreign affairs and border defense departments, and in the name of 'special talent and technology exchange for the reform pilot project of the other party', I will approve you two as observers and apply for temporary passes. Remember, you are just 'observers'! Once you get there, you must follow orders in all actions. You are not allowed to participate in any official activities or meetings of the inspection team! You are only allowed to do things related to your own project! Keep a low profile! If you have any questions, contact me through the leader of the inspection team as soon as possible! Do you understand?"
"Yes! Uncle Qin! Thank you so much! We will do it right away! We will make sure everything is done according to your requirements!"
After hanging up the phone, Lu Qingyang and Zhou Fang looked at each other, "It's done! Qingyang! It's really done!"
"Don't be happy too soon!" Although Lu Qingyang was overwhelmed, he immediately calmed down, "Uncle Qin gave me a chance, but the time is tight and the requirements are strict! Hurry!"
"I'll go find Director Xu right away! Ask him to stamp a dispatch letter immediately, stating that Lu Qingyang and Zhou Fang will go to Hong Kong to select equipment and learn production technology! The reason is to prepare for the upcoming Hong Kong business cooperation project! Tell him that this is a special opportunity approved by the higher-ups, and it concerns the survival of the factory, so he shouldn't waste a moment!"
