Chapter 97: The Millennium
The year 2000 came as scheduled.
A new millennium, a new beginning.
Although some experts stiffly classify the year 2000 as the last century, for most people, the year 2000 is a new beginning.
Li Dongwen also sighed a little. It's his second New Year here. It was nearly another year before the day when Jin Zhu was ripe, and the time left for him was getting shorter and shorter, and he had to hurry.
As soon as Zhang Junru's team returned to Shenniao, Li Dongwen summoned people to a meeting.
"Are you going to Gan Province and Qin Province to invest? What is there to invest in that poor ravine?" Zhang Junru was very puzzled.
"I remember, you also said that Shenniao County was a poor ravine, what happened now?" Li Dongwen scolded.
"You have to tell us what you're going to do there, or what are we going to talk about?" Ms. Zhang said.
Li Dongwen thought for a while, "I haven't thought about what industry to develop specifically." Let's plant trees and control the desert, let's talk about it in this name first, and strive to win a batch of land first, and the more the better. ”
"When are you leaving?" asked Zhang Junru.
Li Dongwen looked at the map, "The sooner the better, and set off immediately." Then he drew two locations on the map, "The soldiers are divided into two ways, and they start to negotiate at the same time, and it is best to negotiate with both, at least one." ”
Zhang Junru asked: "Who represents the Hong Kong Island Peach Blossom Fairy Company?"
Li Dongwen thought about it, there is really a shortage of people. Sun Yunsheng wants to stay in the Divine Bird, and at most bring the financial manager Zhang Qinglan, but who will do it?
He remembered that it seemed that there was an investment and development department at the headquarters of Hong Kong Island, so he called Zhu Hongjiang and "transferred a few people from the investment and development department to come over ......"
To the northwest, the nearest airport is Chang'an, the provincial capital of Sanqin Province.
He Anjiang, the manager of the investment and development department of the Taohuaxian headquarters on Hong Kong Island, brought four assistants, two men and two women, plus Li Dongwen and Zhang Qinglan, and there were seven people in Taohuaxian Company.
Zhang Junru's team dispatched a total of eight people, and a group of 15 people landed at Chang'an Airport.
From Chang'an, the troops were divided into two routes, all the way to Yuzhou, Sanqin Province, and all the way to Gyeongju, Gan Province.
In this negotiation, Zhang Junru's strategy is to start from top to bottom, starting with the state.
The people in Gyeongju were Zhang Junru with her four-person team, and He Anjiang with two assistants to cooperate. In Yuzhou, Li Dongwen personally led the team, Zhang Qinglan and two assistants from the Development Department, and four legal personnel from Zhang Junru's team.
After the soldiers were divided into two routes, Li Dongwen set off with his team to Yuzhou. Eight people, three cars from the airport, with a lot of luggage, two cars can't fit.
As soon as I heard that I was going to Yuzhou, the taxi driver did not agree.
Just kidding, Chang'an to Yuzhou, more than a thousand miles away, it's going to be dark this day, how to go, I still have to hand over shifts.
Besides, cross-regional operation, not to mention being punished, there is also the possibility of being beaten, Yuzhou is not a reasonable place.
It didn't go well when I got out of school.
Let's go again tomorrow. The taxi dropped eight people to a hotel in the provincial capital and settled down that day.
The other seven people are dragging oil bottles, and if Li Dongwen acted alone, he would have arrived in Yuzhou as soon as possible. Since it was a group trip, he could only endure it.
In the evening, we will eat in the hotel's restaurant, the catering of Sanqin Province, mainly pasta, the staple food and the dishes are basically indistinguishable, we ordered a table of special dishes, mutton steamed buns, meat sandwich buns, Qishan Zhenzi noodles, cold skin, steamed mutton, gourd head, stewed meat three fresh......
This dish is real and easy to eat.
After dinner, Zhang Qinglan went to the front desk of the hotel to inquire about the bus to Yuzhou tomorrow.
There are two shifts a day, one is at eight o'clock, and the other is at nine o'clock, basically it is morning and evening, and the bus has to walk for eight hours, and it is said that the road is not very easy to walk.
Follow the leader to work, sooner rather than later.
At seven o'clock the next morning, it was still a little dark, so everyone finished breakfast and took a taxi straight to the long-distance bus station.
At the beginning of January, it is the coldest time, and the temperature in the early morning has dropped to minus ten degrees.
This group of people lives on Hong Kong Island all year round and is a little unbearable from the cold, except for Li Dongwen, of course.
The air is very dry, the sky is gray, and the little north wind blows, and it is sour......
When I arrived at the bus station, the ticket buying was quite smooth, and the eight tickets were all next to each other. Tickets are not expensive, 48 yuan a ticket.
In the morning, the waiting room is not much warmer, and it looks like it is about 0 degrees Celsius.
There were not many people in the station, and there were dozens of people in the sparse manner.
Finally, at eight o'clock, the group checked their tickets and boarded the bus, and the large luggage was placed in the trunk under the car, and they only got on the bus with their handbags.
In addition to Li Dongwen and his entourage, only four men followed the ticket check-in to get on the bus.
This trip to Yuzhou is a bit of a special car, everyone thinks so.
The air conditioning in the car was not very good, and there was thick hoarfrost on the windows.
When the bus got out of the bus station, it began to go around the provincial capital, and one or two people came up from time to time.
After more than half an hour, fifteen or sixteen people came up.
Li Dongwen and his party of eight people sat together, sitting in the second and third rows, with four seats in each row, and the aisle in the middle. The seat behind the driver in the first row was occupied by the two men who got into the car first.
Just as the bus was about to leave the provincial capital, someone waved to stop the bus on the side of the road, and two more people came up.
The bus left the provincial capital and got on the main road. Yuzhou has not yet opened the expressway, and it is a national highway.
When you get on the national highway, the flight attendant starts selling tickets. These people who got on the bus later didn't have tickets. Forty yuan a ticket, which is eight yuan cheaper than buying a ticket at the station.
There are also a few who don't go to Yuzhou, but want to get off on the way to Yuzhou, and they are also forty-one, which is not less, and they seem to have recognized the fare.
The bus ran on the national highway for more than two hours, and it was close to noon, probably out of the provincial capital.
The road conditions are not very good, there are some bumps, plus the weather is cold, and the people in the car can't sleep well, just napping with their eyes closed.
At this time, the flight attendant spoke: "In another twenty minutes, there will be a gas station in front, everyone can go to the toilet, have lunch, give everyone half an hour, please hurry up." ”
As soon as the crew finished speaking, there was a sudden change in the car.
"Don't move! Robbery!" The last two men on the road to get into the car stood up from the last row, wielding long watermelon knives in their hands.
At the same time, the two men sitting in the driver's back seat also stood up, one went straight to the flight attendant, and the other controlled the driver, also holding a bright watermelon knife in his hand.
The robbers controlling the driver shouted, "Get out of the way, get out of the way!"
The bus was forced to stop on the side road.
Two men at the end, one of whom took out a glass filament bag, began to collect belongings from one passenger to another.
This series of accidents happened within two or three minutes, and at first glance, this group of people is well-trained, tacitly cooperative, and very professional.
