Chapter 82: New Year's Greetings
The 800 yuan restaurant dividends that Feng Xiaochen brought home completely convinced Feng Li and his wife that this son did have extraordinary vision and courage, and that he was doing things that the two of them could not understand and imagine. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
A few months ago, Feng Xiaochen persuaded his parents to come up with money to set up a private restaurant, and at that time, Feng Li and his family were in a state of half-belief, or the suspicion was far greater than the belief. At that time, He Xuezhen talked to Feng Xiaochen for a long time, roughly saying that the money was saved for their brothers' marriage, and if it was ruined like this, Feng Xiaochen would not expect money from his family when he got married in the future. Feng Li was more optimistic than He Xuezhen, and after carefully analyzing the individual restaurants on the street, he came to a conclusion that it was still possible to earn back the 600 yuan he invested.
No one thought that the actual income of this restaurant could be so high, according to Feng Xiaochen, it could have a profit of 1,000 yuan a month, which is equivalent to the salary of Feng Li and his family for more than half a year. He Xuezhen had some objections to Feng Xiaochen only getting back 800 yuan, and leaving the rest of the money in Chen Shuhan's hands to expand reproduction, but in the end there was no objection. She comforted herself and said that anyway, her son had already taken out the money back, and the rest of the money was earned by himself, so he could use it as he wanted. The son is a person who can talk and laugh with the deputy minister of the Central Committee, and what tricks he makes will undoubtedly belong to Too young, too simple Tucson.
The main reason why He Xuezhen no longer worries about the other 2,000 yuan is actually the 10,000 marks of foreign exchange that Feng Xiaochen brought back from Germany. With Yan Leqin, the mother-in-law who fell from the sky, He Xuezhen doesn't have to worry about her son's 48 legs when she gets married. As a person with overseas connections, isn't it strange to still count on an individual restaurant to make money for yourself?
On the other side, Chen Shuhan, who accepted a dividend of 200 yuan under Feng Xiaochen's strong request, did not disappear for a second from the moment he got the money. She spent more than 40 yuan to buy a bunch of food and things, returned home, piled up in front of her mother, and took out 10 pieces of unity and handed them to her mother, saying that she earned them herself, and handed them to her family for the arrears still in the factory.
The mother looked at the things and money, hugged Chen Shuhan and cried for a long time, and then broke into laughter, while explaining that Chen Shuhan wanted to do things for others, and at the same time helped Chen Shuhan plan the future. Chen Shuhan was very happy to listen to it at first, but when her mother habitually talked about her marriage again, Chen Shuhan sank her face, and under the pretext that the hotel was about to have lunch, she fled from the house as if she were flying.
On the day of the Spring Festival, Xinling people are in the mood to go to relatives and friends' houses to pay New Year's greetings, Feng Li's family has been in Xinling for many years, and there are also some relatives and friends, colleagues, classmates and the like, need to move around, Feng Xiaochen according to his parents' instructions, went to some elders to pay New Year's greetings, and finally came to the home of Qiao Ziyuan, director of Nanjiang Metallurgical Department.
In the past, Feng Xiaochen was not qualified to come to Qiao Ziyuan's house to pay New Year's greetings. Although New Year's greetings reflect a kind of respect, but showing this respect also needs to be qualified, otherwise, any temporary worker can go to the director's house to pay New Year's greetings, wouldn't the director be tired to death?
But after a trip to Germany, Feng Xiaochen's status in Qiao Ziyuan's eyes has been very different. First, Feng Xiaochen has shown good ability, which is far from being comparable to those young workers in the metallurgical hall who only know how to play poker all day long; second, Qiao Ziyuan found that Feng Xiaochen was quite valued by Luo Xiangfei, and he also heard that Meng Fanze, the old leader of the industrial mouth, also admired Feng Xiaochen, Feng Xiaochen has clearly become a rising star, and Qiao Ziyuan also wants to envelop this young man.
And the third is something that is not humane. After Feng Xiaochen found overseas relations in Germany, he got some foreign exchange and exchanged a lot for Qiao Ziyuan. Although Qiao Ziyuan returned the full amount of RMB to Feng Xiaochen according to the foreign exchange rate after returning to China, he and his wife knew that it was impossible to calculate the exchange rate according to the exchange rate in China, and if they compared it with the black market price, they took a great advantage of Feng Xiaochen.
For these reasons, when Feng Xiaochen appeared at the door of Qiao Ziyuan's house with a bag of Feng Li's specialties from the countryside, he was warmly welcomed. After Qiao Ziyuan said some official words such as "why do you want to bring things" with a straight face, he personally took Feng Xiaochen's hand and let him into his living room. Mrs. Qiao, Kong Fenying, first vacated the things in Feng Xiaochen's net pocket, and then stuffed the net pocket with malt cream, milk powder, canned food and other things that others gave to his family, saying that it was a gift for Feng Xiaochen's parents. Feng Xiaochen secretly estimated it in his heart, and found that the value of the things that Kong Fenying stuffed in was at least twice as much as what Feng Xiaochen brought.
"Xiaochen, how many days can you stay when you go back to Nanjiang this time?" Qiao Ziyuan and Feng Xiaochen started their homework.
"I have family leave, plus Director Luo calculated a few days off for me, and I can stay at home for 12 days. Feng Xiaochen replied.
Qiao Ziyuan said: "Well, that's great, spend more time with your parents at home, and you can go back to the Metallurgical Hall if you have time, this is your mother's home, don't forget your mother's house when you go to the capital." β
"How could it be, without the cultivation of Director Qiao and the Metallurgical Department, how could I be Xiao Feng today. Feng Xiaochen also said clichΓ©s, this kind of words he could say fluently without even using his brain.
"Xiaochen, eat some peanuts, peel a wine chocolate and eat!" Kong Fenying spread out beside him, filling Feng Xiaochen with all kinds of food like feeding a pig.
"Thank you, Auntie, I just went to a few relatives' houses to pay New Year's greetings, and I ate a lot of food, but I really can't eat it. Feng Xiaochen said again and again.
Kong Fenying piled up half of the food on the coffee table in front of Feng Xiaochen, then stood up contentedly and said, "You talk to your Uncle Qiao, I'll go cook." Xiaochen, don't leave today, have dinner here. β
"Don't, Auntie, I'm not eating here, there are relatives at home at night, my mother told me that I have to go home for dinner. Feng Xiaochen was defeated by Kong Fenying's enthusiasm and had to move his mother out as a shield.
Kong Fenying went to the kitchen to get busy, and she didn't know if she really planned to leave Feng Xiaochen for dinner, or if their family also had to cook dinner. Seeing her leave, Feng Xiaochen breathed a sigh of relief, then turned his head to Qiao Ziyuan and said:
"Director Qiao, in fact, I came back to Nanjiang this time, and I still have one more thing to do, which is quite troublesome, I would like to ask you to give me some ideas. β
"Oh, really?"
Qiao Ziyuan put away his laughing expression, his face showed some seriousness, he took the cigarette case from the coffee table, took a cigarette for himself, and gestured to Feng Xiaochen again. Feng Xiaochen waved his hand, indicating that he did not smoke. Qiao Ziyuan didn't force him, he lit a cigarette on the lighter, took a puff, and then said: "Tell me, what is the trouble, I'll see if I can help you solve it." β
My grandmother has always been concerned about the construction of her hometown, and after contacting us, she wanted to introduce a joint venture for her hometown to help the people in her hometown get rid of poverty as soon as possible. Feng Xiaochen said it to Qiao Ziyuan again in the same way he said to Meng Fanze in the capital. He pondered that Qiao Ziyuan should not be as keen as Meng Fanze, and he would not guess the truth of this matter.
Sure enough, Qiao Ziyuan didn't notice the flaws in it at all, and his attention was all focused on the four words "joint venture", and his spirit was also lifted.
At this time, it was still the beginning of 1981, not long after China opened its doors, and the work of introducing foreign capital was very slow. With the exception of a few special zones and some traditional overseas Chinese hometowns, it is very difficult for central provinces like Nam Giang to attract foreign investment. So far, there are only two joint ventures in the whole of Nam Giang Province, one is the color photography hall opened in Tan Ling, which is an enterprise established by the Chinese side providing the shop and the foreign side providing color photography technology and equipment, which caused a huge sensation when it opened. The other is a garment enterprise engaged in processing with supplied materials, which is a joint venture between foreign capital and a state-owned garment factory in Xinling, and the foreign party provides advanced equipment including electric tailoring, buttons, keyholes and so on.
Because the scale of foreign investment introduced by the provinces and autonomous regions is not large, this indicator has not yet been included in the performance assessment of local governments, but they have several joint ventures in their own provinces, which is still a kind of capital worthy of the pride of local officials, so all localities still attach great importance to attracting foreign investment, but everyone has no way but to quench their thirst.
Now, Feng Xiaochen actually ran to the door and said that he could introduce a foreign-funded enterprise, how could this not make Qiao Ziyuan feel excited. That's right, he is only the director of the Metallurgical Department, not the director of the Provincial Economic Commission or the director of the Foreign Trade Department, but if this matter was brought about by his hands, will the province not remember his merits?
"What type of enterprise did your grandmother say she wanted to introduce, and what kind of domestic enterprise did they want to find for a joint venture?" Qiao Ziyuan asked anxiously.
Feng Xiaochen said: "My grandmother is a researcher of machinery, and she has no funds herself, so she must have asked students who have taught in the past to invest in China, so it is basically limited to the field of machinery." β
"This is so easy to do, we have more than a dozen large and medium-sized machinery factories in the Metallurgical Department, such as Nanjiang Metallurgical Machinery Factory, Puping Mining Machinery Factory, and it is also the number one machinery enterprise in the domestic metallurgical system. You can find any joint venture you want, and the hall will strongly support it. Qiao Ziyuan said in a big way.
"However, my grandmother still has a wish, that is, she wants to set up this business in my hometown of Tongchuan County. Feng Xiaochen pretended to be distressed and threw out his request.
"Tongchuan, how could you choose such a ghost ......" Qiao Ziyuan subconsciously responded, and suddenly thought that Tongchuan was Feng Xiaochen's hometown, so he swallowed the last two words of "ghost place" back.
