Chapter 46: A Chance Encounter in a Restaurant
After signing the booth, Xu Hongwen finally got rid of a piece of heart disease, Xu Hongwen walked on the lively street from the exhibition building, the crowd of people who got off work at noon was particularly large, there are many industrial buildings near the exhibition building, these industrial buildings carry thousands of factories, and it is these factories that have created the industrial prosperity of Xiangjiang for more than 20 years, with the rise of land prices in Xiangjiang, many factories on the island have begun to move to the mainland, and Xiangjiang, which cannot keep the factory, will inevitably move towards the hollowing out of the economy and industry.
In the 90s, the streets and alleys of Xiangjiang were similar to some prosperous counties in the mainland, and the difference was that the streets were particularly narrow, and there were many alleys that would block the entire alley for half a day by a car, but there were a lot of snacks in the streets and alleys.
Xu Hongwen walked into a hot and sour noodle restaurant, and the boss in his fifties looked at him and asked, "Hou Shengzi, do you want a hot and sour noodle?" ”
Absorbing the fragrance of hot and sour noodles, Xu Hongwen's saliva was about to flow out, he hadn't eaten this taste for a long time, he really wanted to eat a bowl immediately, Xu Hongwen, who entered the restaurant, sat down and said, "Boss, have a hot and sour powder!" ”
At this time, Xu Hongwen, who saw the menu on the table, picked up the menu again, and ordered a lo-mei platter and two snacks, the things were served very quickly, and after a while, Xu Hongwen's hot and sour noodles and snacks were served, Xu Hongwen smelled the fragrance and had a great appetite, after eating, Xu Hongwen felt that the taste was very positive, and he was also spicy and sweaty.
Xu Hongwen is eating very well now, but he is worried about the Hong Kong dollar, a few days ago Xu Hongwen exchanged **10,000 Hong Kong dollars in the bank and the black market, and spent more than 30,000 yuan when he signed the booth just now, Xu Hongwen really didn't expect a booth to be so expensive, and it is not enough to rent a booth, and you have to find a decoration company to decorate, which is another amount of money.
This time Xu Hongwen came to Xiangjiang not for two purposes, one is to register a company in Xiangjiang to facilitate his investment and business, and the other is to preemptively register the patent of LED in his hand, this patent is a big weapon for him to grab money in recent years, but it costs money to do this, Xu Hongwen also brought more than 100,000 yuan this time, but in Xiangjiang these money can not be spent, unlike later generations of RMB has been able to circulate all over the world.
Xu Hongwen, who was sitting in the restaurant, was worried about the Hong Kong dollar, and the other diners in the restaurant sounded from time to time, and in Hong Kong, where Cantonese is the mainstay, Xu Hongwen also heard someone talking in dialects from various places from time to time, although Xu Hongwen still didn't understand some words, but he also felt very cordial, at this time Xu Hongwen saw two middle-aged people coming in the restaurant, and they sat on the table next to Xu Hongwen after they ordered.
Xu Hongwen heard that they were also speaking in the East China Sea dialect, although it was not easy to talk to Xu Hongwen when he saw his fellow countrymen, when he was about to finish eating, Xu Hongwen heard the two fellows next to him say that he was going back to his hometown for the New Year, and the banks in Xiangjiang also exchanged RMB for huàn, seeing that the New Year was coming, and he couldn't find a place to spend it when he returned to the East China Sea with Hong Kong dollars!
Hearing this, Xu Hongwen was really sleepy, so someone brought a pillow, and after quickly swallowing the food in his mouth, Xu Hongwen said in Donghai dialect: "Two fellow countrymen, I just heard you say that you want to exchange huàn yuan!" ”
The two middle-aged men who were eating noodles looked at each other with surprise on their faces when they heard this, and one of the bearded men glanced at Xu Hongwen cautiously and said with a smile: "It turns out that fellow countryman, we want to exchange some RMB, do you have it!" ”
Xu Hongwen didn't care what others thought, and said: "I won't tell you, I just arrived in Xiangjiang this time to do business, but I don't have enough Hong Kong dollars in my hand. ”
The two middle-aged people saw that the young man said directly, and they were two big men, so they had nothing to worry about, and after letting go of their vigilance, the bearded man said: "Little fellow, this relationship is good, in the words of the reader, we are mutually beneficial!" ”
After a conversation, Xu Hongwen learned that these two masters are doing decoration, and they have been coming to Xiangjiang for several years, because their craftsmanship is not bad, and they have been doing their own decoration team in the past two years, and the money they earn is hundreds of times that of the East China Sea.
Hearing this, Xu Youwen hurriedly asked, "Fellow, what are you doing to decorate!" ”
The bearded Master Zhang said: "We do everything, home, shop, carpentry, and even muddy water, as long as we can make money!" ”
Xu Hongwen, who is looking for a decoration company to decorate the booth, thinks that it is not bad to find these two fellows, the booth decoration is not complicated, and the design does not need to be handled by others. “
"Of course!" After Master Zhang finished speaking, he was a little suspicious, didn't this little fellow say that he had just arrived in Xiangjiang, how could he have the decoration work to introduce to them, and he asked with this question in his heart: "Little fellow, didn't you say that you just arrived in Xiangjiang, did you buy a house in Xiangjiang!" ”
Xu Hongwen replied: "No! I came to Xiangjiang this time mainly to participate in the lighting exhibition! ”
Hearing about the lighting exhibition, Master Zhang sighed and said, "Haha, we just renovated a booth there in the past two days!" ”
Xu Hongwen said: "That's great, I also rented a booth there, just see if you have time to help me decorate!" ”
The two masters who had just been idle saw that they had something to do, and they were happy to say that they had time, and after the matter was decided, Xu Hongwen also needed Xu Hongwen to provide decoration drawings. ”
The two masters looked at it and discussed it again and asked, "Little fellow, do you want us to contract labor and materials, or only contract labor!" ”
Xu Hongwen, who didn't want to trouble, said without thinking about it: "Of course it's a contractor, I don't bother the two masters!" ”
"Well, since the little fellow can trust us, we will take over this decoration, and it will cost 20,000 yuan for the contractor and materials, which is Hong Kong dollars!"
"Okay, but I don't have Hong Kong dollars, and I'll pay the bill in RMB at that time!"
"Hehe, we are trying to exchange RMB, then you will pay us RMB!"
After talking about the decoration of the booth at the table, Xu Hongwen, who had finished eating first, also helped the two fellows pay the bill, and after leaving the hall, he took them to see the location of the booth, and after saying some decoration matters, Xu Hongwen told them to bring the tools first, and Xu Hongwen drew a detailed drawing tonight and came to them tomorrow.
