Chapter 29: The First Meeting

Before the reform and opening up of China in seven or eight years. Every Spring Festival, the Luohu Port in the deep area is crowded. Spectacular. At that time, the customs inspection adopted the method of "everyone sifted and opened the package". The inspection regime is very strict, strict to the point of being harsh. It's like straining back and forth like sand through a sieve. Because many people carry large bags and small items, I don't know which is allowed by the mainland to pass the customs, and if there is a slight mistake, it will be troublesome for a long time. Those who pass the test are scared. However, Luohu Customs is doing things according to the rules and regulations, and cannot be sloppy. There are too many people to count, and no matter how meticulous the work is, it can't be busy. Customs officials had no choice but to call their family members over to help. Even children over the age of eight have to go to the front line to help.

After the establishment of the deep area, the number of passengers coming and going to Luohu Pass has increased dramatically, and it is no longer possible to check it like this. I couldn't get past the queue for several hours, and the Luohu bridgehead was crowded at that time. In the 80s, Luohu Customs set up a "taxable channel" and "duty-free channel" to facilitate passing passengers. This was later changed to "Red Channel", "Green Channel".

Customs staff pay attention to passengers who frequently enter and leave the customs. In particular, it has given certain convenience to Hong Kong businessmen who travel between the two places. Since the reform and opening up, more Hong Kong businessmen have gradually come and gone between the two places. This audit is even more convenient and simple.

When Li Zhendong and Lin Huoliang returned to the village unsatisfied. I found that the guests from Minato Ward had already arrived. Passing through customs is very simple for Huang Deding, who has been doing business with the mainland for several years and has always complied with mainland regulations. It has also established a good relationship with the customs. When I arrived in the village, I casually chatted with my eldest brother and went to visit the guests. This question is coming, what Boss Huang said, Master Zhao can't understand! Although a few people have been to Lingnan a few times, they went directly to the factory. The small shopkeepers on the road can speak a few words of Mandarin. Not to mention Master Zhao, no one understands the other people! Master Zhao and others went to Zhongshi to transport things, that is the people in the Zhongshi factory understand, the factory is people from all over the place, it is not difficult to find a person who understands the voice of Hunan Province.

In this era, people who come to Lingnan from all over the country have one of the biggest problems. It's hard to talk to the locals. Mandarin in China has been planned for five or five years, but it has been delayed during the special period. In '82, the Putonghua Review Committee was re-established. Lingnan has always been an ancient place of rural sound. You can imagine the difficulty. Like later generations, most of the Lingnan people also know Mandarin. Tourists from other provinces can also talk casually when they arrive in Lingnan. At this time, when I first came to Lingnan to deal with the locals, I came here with everyone. Of course, there are more people who can talk to government agencies, enterprises and institutions, and shopping malls. In Huang Defu's village, there are still people who can barely understand Mandarin, and the problem is that they go out to sell vegetables! Don't expect Hong Kong businessman Boss Huang to speak Mandarin. At this time, the vast majority of people in Minato spoke vernacular and English.

A few people were gesturing. Li Zhendong is back. I saw the boss wearing the shirt sleeves of the port area, his face was white, and he had a big belly. Zhilu Road is a guest from the port area, and he is followed by a man dressed as a man in his twenties.

Why is Huang Defu so anxious? There's a reason for that. His business is fruit and vegetable, and he has cleared customs in the past two years. The supply of goods from the deep area has increased a lot, and many goods that are not available in the port area can be purchased. Even if it's a small amount, you can make up for your own shortcomings. His business is becoming more and more prosperous, and there are more and more shops, but the supply of goods has become a problem for him. He knew that there were many goods in the mainland, but he had no channels. Besides, the mainland has just opened up, so it's better to be a little more stable. The nearest Lingnan can get the supply of goods. Don't talk about him, at this time, it's not like you can get the supply from the mainland. In addition to the strong commercial atmosphere of Lingnan, which can be circulated, it is difficult in other provinces!

Speaking of chestnuts, there are many chestnut production areas in China. Like the Qianxi chestnut, the yield has always been very large. There is nothing outside for the sake of the government, because the government has all unified acquisition arrangements, and there is no private matter. These chestnuts are not available on the market, and all of them are exported to Japan, and the output of tens of thousands of tons is purchased by Japan. Since the founding of the country, we have been doing this business with Japan. Even after the "National Flag Incident", this chestnut was specially approved to be exported to Japan. It wasn't until ninety-five years later that there were more private fruit trees, and this was circulated to the market.

And rabbit fur. There is a large Meiluo knitting factory in the port area, and the general manager, Mr. Lin. 40,000 tons of rabbit fur are needed every year to make products. However, he could not buy goods from the mainland because the mainland government did not do business with him. He said, "I don't break the law, and it's not that I don't pay." Eighty-four years ago, he couldn't get a source of goods from the mainland. It had to be imported from Japan, more than 40,000 tons per year. So, why don't you give the rabbit fur in the mainland? Because all the goods were sent to Europe, Europe was the focus at that time.

Li Zhendong spoke, but his opening startled everyone.

The reason why the boss of Hong Kong businessman Huang Deding was shocked was that this little child who spoke said that he was the owner of the goods. This made Boss Huang a little surprised, looking at this kid's dress in a military uniform. Although the military uniform does not fit, it has such a military demeanor. The most important thing is a look of indifference and confidence. Boss Huang has dealt with many people in the mainland and found that the mainlanders lack a kind of self-confidence. Where do you understand that Li Zhendong has seen too much in later generations, and he is expected to have stage fright? Moreover, some high-end people in the mainland in later generations have a name for Hong Kong people: Hong Kong farmers. And the four or five adults around him, as soon as the child spoke, he was silent. Obviously, all obey this child, and there is a police officer behind him who looks like a follower, is this? Coupled with Li Zhendong's fluent English, Boss Huang, who was already past his age, was shocked.

Li Zhendong's English was as frightened as his own companions. In this era, those who know English are considered rare talents. There aren't many people who can really speak English well. In a factory as big as a machinery factory, as far as Master Zhao knows, there are only one or two people who know English. There are quite a few people who know Russian, and this is mainly the military industrial system of early China, with reference to the military industry of the northern giants. Master Zhao and the others could only sigh, why is the feng shui of Mr. Li's family so good? Actually, does this have anything to do with Feng Shui? Zhao Qiang? That view of Li Zhendong is no longer just a mountain uplift. This Li Gongzi is really capable of what people can't. As for Lin Huoliang? This Xiao Li leader is indeed different!

Li Zhendong, who advocates directness, has a useful intention to speak in English. Sure enough, it played a good role, regardless of the doubts in Boss Huang's heart. Boss Huang, who has been in business for so many years, suppressed the confusion in his heart, "These goods are all from the little brother?" "I can't help but make sure.

"Yes, it's about eighteen .six tons. What is the boss's last name? Li Zhendong nodded and said the number. Boss Huang was overjoyed in his heart, "Ha Luha, don't be surnamed Huang, the little brother is polite." It's not polite to do that, take a look? "The merchants of Minato are very efficient in doing things. He can accompany you slowly in his free time, but he needs to get down to business first.

The two men grunted as they headed for the car. Master Zhao and the others also slowly followed. Don't look at Boss Huang, who is middle-aged, his skills are okay. I climbed up from the back of the car and tinkered with it for a while. The guys brought by Boss Huang wanted to go up, but they all shook their hands and asked him to wait below. Chestnuts are taken out of several bags to inspect. Later, it was simply another car, which was also a long time of tossing. Li Zhendong doesn't care, the more carefully you check, the better, everyone knows it.

Master Zhao and the others saw the boss from the port area, after spot-checking a few cars. Jumped down and talked to Xiao Li on the side. Both of them have serious expressions, accompanied by gestures from time to time. Zhao Qiang stared at it for a while, didn't feel any danger, and squatted down boredly to study the ants on the ground. Let's see what the difference is with the ants in Hunan Province. Master Zhao and a few others scattered their cigarettes, and Lin Huoliang also took one and lit it. Li Zhendong bought a cigarette and threw it to the drivers to refresh themselves. Zhao Qiang shouted Dad, and Master Zhao threw one over angrily.

Actually, it's not that long. Li Zhendong and Boss Huang ended the conversation. That's not a lot. Li Zhendong is casual, anyway, what he thinks in his heart is to kick it over, and after this time, there will be no second time. Boss Huang is different and has a lot of money. Why is he in a hurry to pass the test and come to the deep area? I want to explore the source of goods from the mainland. With the development of the mainland, can the port area, which is close to the mainland's largest export customs, not benefit? This is the vision of a successful businessman, who is good at finding opportunities. Perhaps this time it is connected, it is a solid source of goods. It's just that no channel was found, and it wasn't in vain, and this batch of goods was also in hand. What's more, stop by to see the big brother.

Master Zhao was smoking cigarettes, and he saw two people with stern expressions, as if they had talked about it. Then, everyone was stunned, and Li Zhendong and Boss Huang suddenly became smiling, talking and laughing. Zhao Qiang was a little dumbfounded: This face changed too quickly, right? Don't you need to prepare?

Since the goods are good, Boss Huang is also refreshing. Directly arranged for the guy to take care of the rest. chatted with Li Zhendong and went to the house, and when the quantity of goods came out, he would give the money directly. It has been negotiated just now, and the payment is in Chinese currency. There is no way to have a scale in this place, so you can only use a scale to take your time. Li Zhendong himself didn't feel the need to stay here, and no one would ruin his reputation as the boss of a big business. The old generation of business people pay attention to what they say. Most of the business owners in the port area have inherited the ancient customs of China. Where is like the continent of later generations, many businessmen do business and have a bad conscience. However, Lin Huoliang and Zhao Qiang voluntarily stayed. When Lin Huoliang came, the two leaders of the commune said that they were afraid that Xiao Li would not understand outside, and Lin Huoliang should pay attention to reminding and taking care of him. Who knew that Lu Dao was, and in turn, Li Zhendong took care of Lin Huoliang. Lin Huoliang, who felt that he had done nothing, could finally help Xiao Li take a look at it this time. Zhao Qiang is almost the same thing, when he came out this time, he just felt that he was eating and drinking, and he didn't contribute, so he couldn't do it.
