At 8 a.m. on December 23, 1977, after breakfast, the four of us drove a jeep from the West Magic Star Villa on Hong Kong Island to the CIA service station in the West Ho Long Port District of Kowloon to work.

After working at the service station, me, Xiaoda, Yanfang and Kexin submitted an application for annual leave to the centralized department of the CIA headquarters.

Soon our application was approved and our annual leave was 3 months of paid annual leave from 26 December 1977 to 26 March 1978!

At noon, after handling things at the service station, we went to visit Sister Wenjuan's house in Rose Garden.

When we arrived at Sister Wen Juan's villa in Rose Garden, we saw Sister Wen Juan, Cai Jinghua, Xue Li, Xue Ying and other employees of Hualong Company discussing trade matters with Fang Guohui and Lu Minsheng of the Pontianak office in a meeting room.

After they met us, they asked us to join their discussion as well.

Cai Jinghua smiled and said, "Ah Cai! Our rubber and coffee business is already improving! After our raw material samples were sent to large buyers in Japan, North America, Europe and other places, their certification results for our raw material products came out, and they all thought that the quality of our products was very good! In accordance with the provisions of the purchase contract, they have signed the first batch of contract orders for next year with our Haolong company! Now, we have arranged for Xue Renge and Xue Yige to contact the customs, warehousing, logistics and transportation departments to handle a series of procedures for the import and export of goods! Sister Xue Li and I are going to go to Pontianak with Fang Guohui and Lu Minsheng to implement the preparation and delivery of the first batch of orders! Next year, the business of our international trade department of Hualong Company will be busy! ”

Sister Xue Li, the beauty embryo, smiled and said, "Yes! Ahh The big customers who procure raw materials from us are all introduced to us by Dr. Inoue and Dr. George, or the presidents of the European Chamber of Commerce who they introduced! These customers are very optimistic about our company's strength and background, they fully believe in us, in addition to asking us to provide them with raw material samples for experiments, they also personally went to Pontianak's plantations and raw material processing base for field visits, so they will be so happy to sign so many purchase orders with us! ”

Sister Wen Juan said with a smile: "Alas, Cai Jinghua, Xue Li and Xue Ying are so capable, these orders are signed after they go to negotiate with customers!" Moreover, the price of the order is well negotiated! The FOB price of rubber exports is 550 US dollars / ton; The FOB price of coffee beans exported is 280 US dollars/ton; We are only responsible for FOB delivery, and the freight and insurance are the responsibility of the buyer! Pay in full offshore! So, this business is doing very refreshingly! A batch of orders, the Japanese importer of rubber and our first batch of orders of 50,000 tons and 50,000 tons of coffee beans; European importers and exporters ordered the first batch of 80,000 tons of orders and 80,000 tons of coffee beans; North American importers ordered 100,000 tons of rubber in the first batch; 100,000 tons of coffee beans! A total of 230,000 tons of rubber were ordered, with a total price of 126.5 million US dollars and a gross profit of about 37.95 million US dollars; Coffee beans are also 230,000 tons, with a total price of $64.4 million and a gross profit of $19.32 million. $57.27 million! We will be able to complete the first batch of orders in March next year! Then they have to order new goods! ”

I smiled and said, "Okay! Congratulations! In the future, after Hualong Company removes the cost, the company will give you a commission reward of 30% of the net profit! Sister Wen Juan, you take out the commission distribution plan! Give it to Yanfang and let them calculate the commission for you! ”

Sister Wen Juan smiled and said, "Great! I have a generous younger brother! Sister Xue Li and Fang Guohui are going to get married next year, so that Xue Li's dowry for marriage will be available! ”

Xiaoda smiled and said, "Brother Guohui! You're amazing! When did you sneak up on our sister Xue Li?! ”

Fang Guohui blushed and said, "Alas! Xue Li often goes on business trips to Pontianak, and my father and President Lu both think Xue Li is a good girl, and they let me pursue Sister Xue Li! Alas, I didn't expect it! After I confessed to Xue Li, Xue Li agreed, and Xue Li said that I have a good character and look very handsome! ”

Everyone laughed!

Lu Minsheng smiled and said, "Ah Cai! After Sister Xue Li and Brother Guohui got married, the two of them stayed in Pontianak to guard the base camp of Pontianak international trade, and in the future, I will be in charge of the Pontianak office in Hong Kong City! ”

I smiled and said, "Okay! Congratulations to Sister Xue Li and Brother Guohui! In short, everyone is going to harvest in Port City! In the future, everyone will work together to work and live well! ”

Xue Li said shyly: "Alas! I haven't married yet! And so you sang it! Brother Guohui and I really love each other, let's belong to free love! I didn't marry him because of their family's background! In the future, don't go outside and talk about us! ”

Everyone laughed!

After everyone had lunch at Sister Wen Juan's house, Fang Guohui and Lu Minsheng drove to their office to work.

After they left, me, Xiaoda, Yanfang, Kexin, Cai Jinghua and Sister Wenjuan drank tea and talked in the living room of his house.

I said, "Cai Jinghua, Sister Wenjuan!" In a few days, I, Xiaoda, Yanfang and Kexin want Taiwan to do something! When the time comes, the two of you will go to the Demon Star Villa and help us look at the house! ”

Cai Jinghua smiled and said, "Okay! I'll help you look after the house! Sister Wenjuan wants to protect the fetus, and it is inconvenient for her to go back and forth! ”

Xiaoda said: "Sister Wenjuan! Why didn't you see David Zeng go home for lunch? ”

Sister Wen Juan said: "Alas! He doesn't come home very often! Sometimes, only come back in the evening! He said he was going to visit his parents often! I'm so busy with my company that I don't have time to worry about him! ”

Yanfang said: "Alas! Sister Wen Juan, with us here, David Zeng didn't dare to do those outrageous things, so don't think too much! Take care of your baby! When you give birth to the child, things will be easy to do in the future! ”

I said, "Sister Wenjuan! Tomorrow, I'll ask Aunt Hanoli to come to you and babysitter you! Her salary and expenses are covered by Hualong Company! You just have to arrange things to do! ”

Sister Wen Juan said with tears in her eyes: "Okay, tomorrow I will ask Cai Jinghua to pick up Aunt Hanoli to live here!" When you get home, you can also explain to Aunt Hanoli! ”

After the conversation, because Sister Wen Juan and the others were busy dealing with the business of the International Trade Department, the four of us drove back to the Demon Star Villa!

......

At 9 a.m. on December 24, Xiaoda and I went to work at the CIA service station in Haolonggang District.

After work, we discussed the market research issues of the China-Hong Kong Free Trade Zone with Ouyang Fengxing, Li Xiaohu and Xue Meifeng.

Ouyang Fengxing said: "Stationmaster! I am responsible for investment research for electronic product manufacturers. At present, the manufacturers in Gangcheng mainly act as agents for the processing business of electronic brands in Japan, Taiwan, North America and Europe! The products processed and manufactured by these manufacturers include televisions, tape recorders, radios, refrigerators, air conditioners, kitchen appliances and other household appliances, as well as high-end civilian electronic products such as personal computers, fax machines, and photocopiers. At present, local manufacturers are under great pressure on recruitment and production costs, and they all want to move their processing plants to the mainland! If the bonded zone can meet their requirements in terms of finance, customs and ancillary services, they will definitely go! They're a pile of dry wood, it's up to us to light the fire! ”

Li Xiaohu said: "Stationmaster! I am responsible for investment research for textile processing manufacturers such as clothing. At present, there are not many results of the survey and the results of Ouyang's research! We've got the report in order! Including the situation, conclusions and the list of manufacturers and information ready to attract investment, you can read it slowly if you have time! ”

Xue Meifeng said: "Stationmaster! I am in charge of investment research for manufacturers of furniture and other daily necessities. We have visited the local merchants! The situation is the same! The customers think that as long as the mainland side gives me authorization and their management model, we can start to attract investment! ”

I said, "Everyone, have done a great job! The bonded zone project is still in the pipeline, and we will keep the research results first, and wait for the mainland to come out with the plan and model! We can only work! Alas, the preliminary research work of this matter is really of no benefit to everyone! However, after we participate in the construction of this project, we will definitely be able to get the benefits in return! However, we don't know when they will start the construction and operation of the China-Hong Kong Free Trade Zone project?! Of course, we hope that they will implement the China-Hong Kong Free Trade Zone project as soon as possible! ”

Xue Meifeng said: "Yes! We are in business to make money! Ahh I see that the Xinghailong project and the New Century project have begun construction, and the scale is very large! When the time comes, can you hand over the investment and sales of these projects to me, Ouyang and Xiaohu and the other three people?! ”

I said, "Huh! Mei Feng! That's a great idea! I'm also thinking of looking for a professional investment and sales agency to take care of these businesses! However, you are new to property sales and investment! If you're going to do this work, you need to do all the research on the local real estate market now, and get to grips with marketing information such as customer needs, property rents and sales prices, as well as real estate marketing processes and business skills! If you do a solid job, then we will set up our own marketing company and property management company! Let you be responsible for the operation and management of these companies, and let you share the company's business results! ”

Ouyang Fengxing smiled and said, "Okay! One of my cousins is doing real estate marketing here, and when the time comes, we're going to learn from him! Property is also a commodity, we should be able to figure it out! ”

Li Xiaohu smiled and said, "Ah Cai! Ouyang and I have long been optimistic about the real estate marketing business, and we have already signed up to study marketing and property management at Hong Kong City University! We're going to be able to do this job! CIA can't be our lifelong career! ”

After we talked, Ouyang Fengxing, Li Xiaohu and Xue Meifeng handed me three thick research reports!

Then, they happily left my office, looking at their backs, I felt that they had begun to mature and that they knew how to work for their future.

.....

On Christmas Eve, the CIA service station held a celebration, and everyone held a dinner and vigil fireworks in the evening!

After me, Xiaoda, Yanfang and Kexin attended the dinner in the canteen of the service station, we left the event site and went to the Rose Garden to visit everyone!

At 8 o'clock in the evening, when we arrived at the public garden in the Rose Garden Villa area, the Wei family, the Xue family, Cai Jinghua, Sister Wen Juan, Zeng Dawei, Xue Renge and Zeng Yafang, as well as Teacher Zeng and his wife, were setting off fireworks!

They all feel that this year's Christmas is special and meaningful!

After chatting with them for a long time, we returned to the Magic Star Villa.

......

December 25th, Christmas, at 8 o'clock in the morning, after me, Xiaoda, Yanfang and Kexin had lunch, we booked a flight to Taipei over the phone, and we booked a flight to 9 o'clock tomorrow morning.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, the four of us drove our family jeep to the shopping mall and shopping mall to buy gifts for Taipei.

At noon, after we finished shopping, we ate Chinese food at a café and we chatted while eating.

Yanfang smiled and said, "Alas! How nice it would be if life could be like this forever! ”

Kexin said, "Yes! If only we had lived like this, happy and peaceful! However, I feel that the world will not always be so peaceful! ”

Xiaoda smiled and said, "Alas! What do you want to do so much?! Everyone lives a lifetime, and being able to live every day is the most important thing! Tomorrow's things, save them for tomorrow and think about them! Ah Cai is a tall man, if the sky falls, Ah Cai will definitely help us carry it! When the time comes, we will go to the courtyard to find a stick taller than Ah Cai and help Ah Cai hold it up for a while! Just let him rest his feet! ”

Everyone laughed!

After lunch, we returned to our home at the Magic Star Villa.

Back home, we started packing and packing, gifts and luggage for Taipei!
