The train departed from Huhai in the evening, and Fan Huiquan, who boarded the hard-seat car, made great efforts to squeeze through two crowded cars to the dining car. He prepared to cross the aisle at the back of the kitchen to the sleeper car at the back.

"I'm sorry, hard-seat passengers can't go to the sleeper car!" There was a person standing at the door of the dining car, and he stopped Fan Huiquan.

"Comrade, be accommodating, my cousin is in the No. 11 carriage, I'll go to his place to rest for a while, and I will definitely come back before the lights go out at night!" Fan Huiquan didn't expect that today's management would be so strict. As he spoke, he pulled out a large pack of cigarettes from his pocket, and handed it over flatteringly.

The other party waved his hand with a straight face, and he didn't take the cigarette, no matter how Fan Huiquan said good things, he just didn't agree with him in the past. Hearing the entanglement between the two, another head poked out of the kitchen.

Fan Huiquan was overjoyed when he saw the other party, and the person who poked his head out was a chef surnamed Liu on the train. Fan Huiquan is a self-employed person who resells clothes, and he has to go from Shanghai to Guangdong every month to buy goods, and he takes this train every time. As soon as he arrived on the train, he would go to the dining car to order, and after a long time, he got to know many people on the train!

So Fan Huiquan immediately put on a friendly smile: "Master Liu, I'm Lao Fan! I want to go to my cousin in car No. 11 for a while, and make sure to come back on time before the lights go out, so as not to cause trouble to you! Can you help me say a few kind words to this comrade and ask him to be accommodating!"

I had bad luck when I bought a ticket before, and I only bought a sleeper and a standing ticket! You know, it takes more than 40 hours from Huhai to Guangdong, and it is really unbearable to stand all the way!"

"Old Fan. I know, you're going to Yuezhou to buy goods again?" the chef surnamed Liu shook his head at him, "Xiao Cai is the new conductor. He didn't mean to embarrass you. I have a special task today, and I really can't accommodate it!"

Fan Huiquan is an old man, and he immediately understands that he must have encountered a special situation today. So he didn't continue to entangle, apologized to the tender-faced Cai conductor in front of him, handed Chef Liu a cigarette, and then walked back helplessly.

Because there was Li Xuan, the VIP on the train, the train captain Jiang Dayong originally planned to lock the doors at both ends of the luxury soft sleeper, so as not to disturb the VIPs by people coming and going. But when the conductor locked the door, Li Xuan happened to know about it and asked him to stop it.

So Jiang Dayong simply arranged a conductor at each of the two gates. It is forbidden for idle people to come and go. Li Xuan and Li Zhi naturally didn't know these things in the room, the two had dinner early, and then called Ke Lilun and another bodyguard in, and the four of them sat around a table to play mahjong, and played until eight or nine o'clock in the evening before resting.

"Boom-boom!"

The wheels of the train vibrate gently as they pass through the junction of the rails. In this incessant slight shaking, Li Xuan quickly pressed Li Zhi's white and clean skin on the bed. Having sex on a speeding train is a very special experience, and both of them find it very exciting and emotional. After a few clouds and rains, he fell asleep deeply.

The next day, when Li Xuan woke up, the car window was already bright. The bathroom in the luxury soft sleeper is naturally not dirty and smelly like other carriages, on the contrary, it is very clean and tidy. After the two of them washed up and opened the door. The conductor He Li heard the movement and immediately stepped forward and asked the two what they were going to eat for breakfast.

The white porridge is served with scallion pancakes, and the chef on the train is a Huhai person. The pancake technique is very good. After Li Zhi finished eating, she couldn't help but give a thumbs up, it was more fragrant than the one she had bought in the alley before.

Vintage green train from the eighties. It's not an air-conditioned car decades later, and the glass windows on the side of the seat can be opened. Especially in the summer. If there are a lot of people in the car, if you don't open the windows and blow some cool breeze in, you can simply faint people.

At each stop, there are many itinerant vendors selling things on the platform. It's only mid-September, and the weather hasn't completely cooled off, and from time to time vendors sell popsicles along the carriages, from ordinary saltwater popsicles to dimes for more advanced milk popsicles. Li Xuan bought a bag of apples from a young woman with a child on her back, and handed her a ten-yuan voucher and didn't let her look for it.

After the initial novelty, he felt a little bored staying in the carriage, so Li Xuan simply walked out of the room and walked to the dining car next to him. Although it's not a meal now, the dining car is still very lively. When Fan Huiquan saw Li Xuan coming over, the smile on his face immediately froze, and he immediately pulled the other person at the same table up from his seat.

The orderer in the dining car also noticed Li Xuan, and immediately stepped forward with a smile on his face and asked, "Mr. Li, do you want something to eat?" Sorry, please wait, I'll clean up a table for you immediately!"

After speaking, he was ready to clean up the few plates and two bottles of beer that Fan Huiquan had just eaten. Fan Huiquan stood next to him, although he was a little depressed, but he didn't say anything to stop it. Because he only bought a standing ticket, he booked a place in the dining car early. But just now, a woman with a child in her arms also did not have a seat, and begged the waiter to make room for her.

It's just that all the seats in the dining car are already occupied, except for the two tables at the back of the car. These two seats are reserved for the dining of VIPs, and the waiters in the dining car refuse to be accommodating. Fan Huiquan was soft-hearted and gave up his position to women with children. Then he pleaded with the waiter in the dining car, and he would definitely give up his seat when the VIP came to eat, but let him sit first when the VIP was not there.

Unexpectedly, Li Xuan suddenly came to the dining car, so Fan Huiquan, who had just ordered the food, was tragic. Fortunately, Li Xuan spoke up and stopped the waiter who was about to close the dishes: "It's okay, I'm just coming over for a casual stroll, I'm not going to eat, let these two gentlemen continue to eat!"

The waiter suddenly didn't know what to do, for fear that Li Xuan was just a kind word, if he really did what Mr. Li said, would he snub him. This is, Fan Huiquan, who was standing on the side, said boldly: "This Mr. Li, if you don't dislike it, you might as well sit down and have a beer together and chat!"

Li Xuan originally came to the dining car to find someone to chat and pass the time, so he naturally nodded and agreed immediately.

During the conversation, Li Xuan learned that this Fan Huiquan was originally an operator of the Telecommunications Bureau, and he had a conflict with the leader at the beginning of last year. It just so happened that he had a cousin at home who came back from Hong Kong to visit relatives, so he was encouraged by this cousin. I resigned and went to the sea to do business.

At first, the clothes that Fan Huiquan got were brought to the mainland from Hong Kong by his cousin, but now with the policy becoming more and more open. The supply of clothing in eastern Guangdong Province is becoming more and more abundant. He no longer bothered his cousin, but instead purchased goods from several clothing wholesale markets in Guangdong City.

"It's getting harder and harder to do business now. In the past, there were few people in the whole of Shanghai and Haihai who set up stalls to sell clothes, but now it has developed to the streets! There are more and more people doing this business, and the profits are getting smaller and smaller!" Fan Huiquan said with a sigh.

"Who says it's not, setting up a stall on the street is not only exposed to the wind and sun, but also people are looking for trouble at any time! The Industrial and Commercial Bureau, the Health Bureau, and the Traffic Police Force can even give me a look at the color of an old lady wearing a red armband! Or Lao Fan, you have a shrewd eye, and the storefront under the plate early has been turned into a regular army, so you don't have to fight guerrilla like us!" Another person at the same table answered. His name is Ma Zhongkai, and he is from Huhai like Fan Huiquan. I also do a business of reselling clothes.

"Mr. Li, add two dishes to you, the braised elbow made by Master Liu tastes good, you can try it!" said the waiter of the dining car with two plates. In addition to a plate of braised elbow with boneless slices, there is also a plate of cold salad with three shreds.

"Or Mr. Li has a big face, by the way, what do you do?" Ma Zhong asked with a smile, and the fool could also see the difference in the conductor's attitude towards Li Xuan.

"I'm also in business, but it's bigger than you!" Li Xuan took a sip of cold beer. Said with a smile.

"Mr. Li, are you an overseas Chinese?" asked Fan Huiquan.

Li Xuan nodded: "I'm from Hong Kong, I can be regarded as a Hong Kong and Macao overseas Chinese, Mr. Fan, how do you see it?"

"You have a different taste in dressing than the rest of us. There are also conductors who are very polite to you, if you are a domestic person, you are doing a big business. But it's not the same if you're an overseas Chinese from Hong Kong and Macao, and the government wants people like you to return to China to invest. Naturally, you have to entertain well!" Fan Huiquan said with a smile.

Fan Huiquan was actually saying in his heart, you are definitely not an ordinary overseas Chinese. He didn't pay attention when he first got in the car. When I got off the bus to buy cigarettes, I found that there was an extra special train between the dining car and the sleeper car. Ordinary people may not notice, but he has been riding this train back and forth dozens of times, and he can see the difference at a glance. How can overseas Chinese who can add a special train to the railway-department, how can they be ordinary people!

"Don't tell you, Mr. Li, I still regret my decision to resign and go to sea now. Although I have made a lot of money, my social status has declined! I used to work as a telephone operator in the Telecommunications Bureau, and although my monthly salary was only about 70 yuan, I was a state cadre!

Now I can earn more than 1,000 yuan a month, but even my own son is ashamed of me! Last semester, my son's school teacher assigned an essay entitled "My Father". Some of the fathers of other children are laborers, some are doctors who save lives and help the wounded, and some are people's teachers who cultivate the flowers of the motherland.

And my son refused to write that his father was a self-employed trader, so he simply didn't hand in his homework! My son used to be a good boy, and he ended up talking back to the teacher that time. It wasn't until the homeroom teacher came to visit my home in the evening that I learned the details.

Now that I think about it, I don't think it's a good taste, because I, a self-employed father, even my son is inferior in front of his classmates, what's the point of making more money!" Fan Huiquan's face flashed with a trace of bitterness, and he raised his head and poured a glass of stuffy wine.

Rich is the uncle in 1982 China is obviously not fully established, of course, if there is foreign exchange, it must be the uncle. For example, the current Li Xuan, the special treatment he received along the way is completely based on his huge wealth of 7 billion US dollars!

"Actually, I used to be a stuffy gourd when I went to work, and the conflicts I had with the leaders at that time were all trivial things when I think about it now! After I went into society, I found that the few ugly curses of the leaders at that time were far less difficult than the various difficulties and thorny things I encountered later," Fan Huiquan said with a wry smile.

Li Xuan chatted with the two small businessmen for an afternoon. Ma Zhongkai's cultural background was not high, and Fan Huiquan was a college student before the Cultural Revolution. He himself said that his previous personality was a bit arrogant, and it was difficult to get along with his colleagues. After resigning and entering society, he was sharpened much more tactful and treacherous. The other party used such words to form himself, and Li Xuanzhi felt that this Fan Huiquan was quite honest.

"This is the business card of the manager of my company's Shanghai office, if you are interested in changing jobs after returning to Shanghai, you can go there to have a look!" Li Xuan handed Fan Huiquan a business card before leaving.

After Huhai's joint venture communication equipment company was put into production, it was in need of salespeople like him who had seen the market, handled things smoothly, and had enough understanding of telecommunications-systems. If you send personnel from Hong Kong to explore the mainland market, it is difficult to adapt to the special national conditions of the mainland, and it is more appropriate to recruit directly from the mainland. If this Fan Huiquan is really willing to join Dongfang Electronics, as long as he has the ability to make sales performance, the company will never be stingy with bonuses, which will definitely be higher than his current income of 10,000 or 20,000 yuan a year from selling clothes.

This was just an episode in the journey for Li Xuan, and the train finally stopped at the Yuezhou Railway Station after a long journey of more than forty hours. Before getting off the train, Li Xuan asked his assistant to give gifts to all the conductors of the train set and thanked them for their warm service all the way.

"Captain Jiang, what's the origin of this Mr. Li? It's so generous, each person has a Huhai brand watch, which is worth half a month's salary!" Xiao Cai has just joined the work, and his heart has not yet been decided.

"If you have a gift, you can't stop your mouth, don't ask if you shouldn't ask!" Jiang Dayong scolded with a smile, watching Li Xuan's figure gradually disappear.

In addition to the staff of Dongfang Electronics Company's office in Guangdong, there was also a deputy secretary general of the General Office of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee, as well as staff from the United Front Work Department of the Provincial Party Committee and the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office of the Provincial Government.

Li Xuan specially greeted him before leaving Huhai City, and his stay in Guangdong was only a private trip, hoping not to disturb the leaders of Eastern Guangdong Province. The eastern part of Guangdong apparently did not make much fanfare according to his wishes, but still sent a deputy secretary general of the provincial party committee to coordinate Li Xuan's itinerary in Yuezhou City.

In the following October, it happens to be the autumn fair of the Guangdong Fair twice a year, and many exhibitors from various provinces and cities have arrived in Guangdong City more than half a month in advance to set up exhibitions.

And all the hotels in Guangdong have also entered the mode of the Guangdong Fair and have begun to vacate rooms for upcoming foreign buyers. The Guangdong Provincial Party Committee specially reserved a small building in the Provincial Party Committee's guest house for Li Xuan to stay.

"Have you contacted Professor Liu Junliang? I'll invite him to dinner with his team in the evening!" Li Xuan immediately asked his assistant Ke Lilun not long after he checked into the guest house.

"I've already communicated with Professor Liu!" Ke Lilun nodded, "In addition, Mr. Huo Yingdong just called to ask when you are free, and he is going to ask you to have dinner together!"

"He's also in Guangdong, so let's make an appointment tomorrow at noon, and take the afternoon flight back to Hong Kong after eating!" Li Xuan thought for a while and said. (To be continued......)
