Chapter 423: The Daily Life of a Small Employee (Part II)

The three of them laughed and came to the door of the Golden Sun Song and Dance Hall on the second floor, the two men each paid a capitation fee of 20 Hong Kong dollars, and Fang Qianqian, a beauty, was free. One of the things that is very bad about the current deep-sea special zone is that many places only accept Hong Kong dollars and reject renminbi.

I thought it would be empty in the afternoon, but I didn't expect the ballroom to be very lively. A woman with an explosive head on the small stage is singing Teresa Teng's "Walking on the Road of Life" affectionately.

This is the title song of the same name of Teresa Teng's second Cantonese album released last year, and it is also one of the most sung songs in the song hall recently. It's a pity that there is still a big gap between the voice of the female singer who sings and Teresa Teng's feeling like a spring breeze.

The three of them sat down at a small round table in the corner, ordered three bottles of beer and a fruit bowl, and the hundred Hong Kong dollars were gone. It's definitely a high-spending place, but it's still crowded. This also shows from one side that after five years of reform and opening up, the deep-sea special zone has already had the first batch of people who got rich first!

"What steps have you two taken on your long march now?" Liu Chang took a sip of beer, and then asked softly to Liu Wei beside him.

Compared with Liu Wei, who was born as a child in the mountains, the conditions in Fang Qianqian's family are very good. Fang Qianqian's father earned his first pot of gold by doing import and export trade in the early years, and later turned around and set up a factory.

Hong Kong people originally looked down on the mainland, not to mention that Liu Wei still came out of the ravine. It is by no means easy for his son-in-law to gain the approval of his future father-in-law and mother-in-law.

"It's okay, at least it's much kinder than at the beginning!" Liu Wei smiled, "I also want to thank the brothers for their help." I'll treat you all to a meal later!"

Fang Qianqian, a rich girl, didn't know what to think, and when she faded out, she looked at Liu Wei's stuffy gourd. Liu Wei was assigned to work in the R&D center of Shenhai City of the Oriental Research Institute. She took the initiative to come to Liu Wei several times to play, and even a fool could see the girl's careful thinking.

As the saying goes, men chase women across the mountain. Women chase men into yarns. After going back and forth, Liu Wei, an innocent little boy, was quickly taken down by Fang Qianqian, but she also understood that the resistance in her family could be very large, so she kept her and Liu Wei's relationship hidden from her parents.

Fang Qianqian's father ran a factory that produced cassette tapes, and in recent years, with the popularity of Walkmans, cassette tapes have been selling very well. However, cassette tapes are not a high-tech product, and there are many similar factories not only in Hong Kong, but also with the opening up of the country. In Shenhai City and other parts of eastern Guangdong Province, a large number of tape factories also quickly popped up.

Fierce market competition made Fangjia's tape factory's profits begin to decline rapidly. So Fang Qianqian's father was ready to seek transformation, and he set his sights on the videotape. Videotapes work in a similar way to audio tapes, but they are much more technical than audio tapes.

The cost of building a videotape production line is not small, and if Fangfu wants to reduce the investment risk, he must open up a stable sales channel. Otherwise, if the videotapes he produced were unsalable, the factory might soon go bankrupt.

At this time, RCA, which was acquired by the Oriental Group, just began to move its industry. This gave Fang Qianqian's father a great opportunity. The U.S. has the world's largest video recorder sales market, as well as the world's largest videotape sales market.

Hollywood studios produce hundreds of millions of boxes of movie tapes every year and sell them all over the world. Families in the U.S. also often buy blank tapes to record sports games and popular TV series that can't be watched in time.

RCA's video recorders and videotapes. It has a significant market share in the United States. If Fang Qianqian's father's factory can get RCA's videotape OEM order, he can sit back and relax and carry out the transformation.

It's just that Fang Qianqian's father has tens of millions of assets. In Hong Kong, he is barely a rich man. But in front of the "God of Wealth Lee" and the Eastern Bloc, he is not ranked at all. And want to enter the eyes of the Eastern Bloc. Becoming an OEM factory for RCA is never an easy task.

The Fang family is the only place where it intersects with the Eastern Bloc. It is Fang Qianqian who works in the Eastern Group. But Fang Qianqian is just a small clerk who has been in the company for less than a year, and she is useless. Just when Fang's father had no clue and was about to give up, his daughter Fang Qianqian sent him good news, and several colleagues she knew could provide some help.

And the person who helped was Liu Chang, who worked in the deep-sea branch of Oriental Commercial. RCA's entire industrial transfer plan was carried out with the assistance of Oriental Trading, and Shenhai Branch was the undertaker of RCA's manufacturing transfer to the mainland.

Compared with large industries such as televisions, video recorders, and radios, the video tape business is not very impressive. But this inconspicuousness is only relative to RCA's annual sales of billions of dollars. And for Hong Kong companies, it's definitely a big pie.

Of course, Liu Chang does not have the right to decide the ownership of the project, but as an insider of Oriental Trading, he is clear about the criteria for selecting partners of Oriental Group. And this is a very important information for a small boss like Fang's father who can't find the way.

Under the guidance of Liu Chang, Fang's father quickly produced a detailed cooperation plan that met the taste of the Oriental Group. This plan highlights a series of competitive advantages of Fang's father.

For example, he has a well-established management team, not only has a factory in Hong Kong, but also set up a new joint venture with a mainland factory last year. With an existing factory foundation, he was able to quickly put up the framework of the new production line when he expanded his investment, which greatly shortened the run-in time of factory operation.

Another example is that Fang's father has been operating in the cassette industry for six years, and the company has accumulated a lot of technology. While there are many differences between videotapes and audio tapes, there are also many similarities between the production of the two. This gives Fangfu a great competitive advantage over other inexperienced investors.

A good plan can show your strengths as much as possible. It was under the guidance of Liu Chang that Fang's father's plan accurately identified the taste of the decision-makers of Oriental Commercial, and finally stood out.

Fang's father directly received a copy in the next three years. A large order for the OEM manufacturing of 10 million blank video tapes for RCA. And at least 70% of the credit for this goes to Liu Chang's head.

For the sake of the Fang family's business, Liu Chang has been busy some time ago. Father Fang saw all of this in his eyes. When Fang Qianqian first introduced Liu Chang's identity to her father, she only said that he was a colleague she knew during the induction training.

But ordinary colleague relationships. How could it be possible for Liu Chang to give so sincerely? Fang Qianqian had just learned to speak Mandarin for a long time, so how could she have established a deep friendship with the staff of the mainland immediately with just one induction training? In addition, in the past six months, Fang Qianqian had been locked up in the deep-sea special zone every weekend to play, and the shrewd father Fang quickly guessed a rough idea.

Although Liu Chang is a mainland boy, Fang's father has a very good impression of him in the past few months of dealing with him, and feels that this is a promising offspring!

"Alas. Fang Qianqian, who let you have no eyes and didn't pick me at the beginning, otherwise your father would probably have agreed, he is very optimistic about me!" Liu Chang stroked the bangs in front of his forehead, and said with a bit of narcissism.

"My family Ah Wei is still in the accumulation stage, and he will soon accumulate a lot! One of his inventions has just been used by the company to apply for a global patent!" Fang Qianqian glanced at Liu Chang with disdain, and then cheered up her boyfriend.

"Isn't your father disdainful of Liu Wei's identity in the mainland, or I'll help your Liu Wei find a way! A few years ago, I was with your man. When I came to Chinese University of Hong Kong to participate in the 'Dongfanghong' exchange program, I had a very good relationship with a young teacher surnamed Li who also came from Tsinghua University!

After the expiration of the exchange period, Mr. Li did not return to the mainland, but was retained by the Oriental Research Institute, and now he is an engineer Li! Li Gong is very good in the Oriental Research Institute. The scientific research funds in hand are all starting from millions of Hong Kong dollars, and they already have the right to recruit people independently!

Ask your family Liu Wei to submit an application for transfer to work in Hong Kong, and then Li Gong will come forward to receive him. In this way, Liu Wei can immediately transfer to Hong Kong to work.

After he arrives in Hong Kong, he will work hard for another three or five years. Strive to make some achievements as soon as possible, and you can ask the company to help him apply for skilled immigration. Then he became a Hong Kong man through and through. Meet your parents' request to recruit a Hong Kong son-in-law!" Liu Chang raised the wine bottle and touched it lightly with his friend, and suggested with a smile.

"Li Gong is doing chip design in Hong Kong. And I studied communication engineering in college, and the two majors are not right at all! I think it's good to be in the deep sea, so there's really no need to be transferred to Hong Kong!" Liu Wei shook his head and said.

According to the agreement reached between China and the UK at the end of last year, 75 one-way permits can be issued in China every day. The so-called one-way permit means that the British border officer of Luohu Customs will unconditionally allow the person holding the one-way permit to enter the customs without the approval of the British visa officer, which is similar to directly obtaining the immigration qualification of Hong Kong.

As the population pressure in Hong Kong continued to increase, the British authorities in Hong Kong began to tighten the immigration policy in 1980. The new arrest and firing policy allows police to check identity cards on the streets. Illegal immigrants who are found to have no legal status will be deported immediately, leaving anyone who wants to immigrate to Hong Kong only through legal routes.

Based on the daily quota of 75, the total number of people allowed by the Hong Kong government to immigrate to Hong Kong every year has reached more than 20,000. This number seems like a lot, but it is only a drop in the bucket compared to the actual number of applicants, and you can't get a one-way pass without a strong enough relationship!

Attracting cutting-edge scientific research talents from the mainland to Hong Kong will be an important strategy for the Institute of Oriental Studies for a long time to come. Therefore, under the efforts of the Eastern Bloc, the Hong Kong government recently launched a special technical visa and technical immigration policy for high-level talents to develop in Hong Kong.

"Are you more ambitious than a chicken's head rather than a phoenix's tail? It's just that you work in the deep sea, and your monthly salary is only 3,000 Hong Kong dollars, and if you can be transferred to Hong Kong, your salary can be tripled immediately!

A man like you doesn't care about his family and doesn't know how to work hard to make money! Qianqian, do you have a feeling of having no eyes and no beads now? What is the purpose of talking about a long-distance relationship with such a heartless man?" Liu Chang squeezed his eyes at Fang Qianqian and said.

"Who said that we are in a long-distance relationship, I applied to the company for a transfer to work in the deep sea before, and it has been approved!" Fang Qianqian said suddenly.

"Ahh

"Why did Han Ying suddenly go to Beijing on a business trip, my father even asked me to invite her to a meal to express my gratitude!" Fang Qianqian simply changed the topic. When Han Ying was re-inducted, she was a member of the same group as Liu Wei and Fang Qianqian, and she was a top student who graduated from Peking University.

"She went to speak on our behalf, so as to fool the juniors and juniors who graduated this year to join our company!" Liu Chang said with a smile.

Han Ying is a native of Beijing, and this time she took the initiative to apply for a job in Beijing-Beijing to assist in the recruitment of graduates, which is equivalent to getting a free family leave!" Liu Wei explained to his girlfriend.

After graduation, Liu Wei and Liu Chang each maintained frequent correspondence with other classmates in the university. In many cases, there is a comparison between people, and there will be enough cognition. Whether it is Liu Wei or Liu Chang, they are extremely satisfied and proud of their choice a year ago.

Those classmates of the two of them either went to work in government agencies or state-owned enterprises. But everyone's monthly salary is generally less than 100 yuan. Liu Chang's monthly salary is converted into RMB, but it is as high as 1,000 yuan.

The Oriental Group generally provides better treatment to engineers engaged in technology research and development than other positions. Therefore, Liu Wei's salary is even higher than Liu Chang's, and his monthly salary has reached 1,200 yuan.

Because many places in the Deep Sea Special Economic Zone only accept Hong Kong dollars and not renminbi, Liu Wei and Liu Chang's companies are very humane and directly use Hong Kong dollars to pay salaries. Liu Chang's actual income after tax payment is HK$2,700 per month.

At the official exchange rate of 1 yuan to 2.68 Hong Kong dollars, his income is exactly about 1,000 yuan. But in fact, in the large and small black markets in the Special Economic Zone, 1 yuan can often only be exchanged for 2 Hong Kong dollars, which means that Liu Chang's monthly income should actually be 1,350 yuan.

In this way, Liu Chang's monthly salary is more than the annual salary of most of his classmates! The most direct impact of this shocking result is that several of his classmates are ready to resign and come to the Deep Sea Special Zone!

"You two look over there, is that person very similar to Li Chang!" Fang Qianqian suddenly noticed something interesting, and said all the time. (To be continued......)
