On the morning of March 22, 1977, Sister Wen Juan took her simple luggage and drove the family car to live in the villa in Rose Garden.

I feel that Sister Wenjuan has grown up, she has her own space, and she has lived independently! I'm still very worried about her, but don't go your own way in life and bear the ups and downs of the future!

In this way, Xiaoda and I tearfully saw off Sister Wenjuan in the courtyard of the Demon Star Villa!

......

At 8 o'clock in the evening, Dr. Wei and Zhou Xiaoming came to the house and talked to me and Xiaoda.

Zhou Xiaoming said: "Ah Cai! After the Spring Festival, the mood of those Taiwanese students in the CIA service station fluctuated a lot! Many of them are talking about leaving the CIA service station to return to Taiwan for work and development! Are you going to ask about this?! ”

I said, "Alas! Now, we really don't have anything concrete to do at our service station! Therefore, it is normal for them to want to go home! This matter is related to personal future, everyone has their own ambitions, how can I ask about it?! Do you know who exactly wants to go? ”

Dr. Wei said: "I heard Song Ailing say that Wu Lianjun, Wu Lianguo and Di Lina and more than a dozen other people are leaving!" Song Ailing, Xue Meifeng, Wei Kexin and Ouyang Fengxing and several other people made it clear that they would not leave, and they would stay in the CIA service station in Gangcheng to work and develop! ”

I said, "Okay! The people who are leaving, involving the transfer or resignation of the CIA, etc., let them figure out these things themselves! Those who can go, we can't stay! If you want to stay, we just have to treat others well! After all, the CIA is not a particularly good unit either! ”

Xiaoda smiled and said, "Alas! It's better for these people to go! Even if the CIA service station is revoked, we have nothing to lose! In this way, we can do our own things better! Right? ”

Zhou Xiaoming said: "Yes! Don't say that the CIA service station has nothing to do, and our Wind Spirit team has nothing to do, I feel like there is nothing to do in secret service organizations all over the world! Ah Cai, now, what is the position of the mainland headquarters in terms of the work of our Wind Spirit Group?! If we continue to develop in this state, I might as well go back to my hometown of Shanghai to find a unit to work, take care of my family, and live a quiet and stable life! ”

I said, "Xiaoming! The nature of our work at the mainland headquarters has not changed, and it is still the original positioning and mission! We need to be patient and take care of the big picture in everything we do! As for the question of whether you want to go back to the mainland to work and take care of your family, it is your personal problem! For personal matters, we can discuss them separately! ”

Zhou Xiaoming said: "Understood! Ahh I feel that the international situation has changed, and many things have turned enemies into friends! Therefore, I feel that my current work and lifestyle are too boring, meaningless, and a waste of time! At the same time, I'm really not interested in running a business in Hong Kong City! You are busy with the Haolong project, the Xinghailong project and other things all day long, I feel like an outsider! ”

I said, "Xiaoming! Actually, your question is where to settle down in the future! We as children should indeed take care of our parents, but if we want to settle down in Hong Kong City, we can also take our parents to live in Hong Kong City?! If you think so, you'll be interested in developing a career in Port City! Xiaoming! If you think so, I will let you be the general manager of Xinghailong Company, so that you don't have your own work and career base?! ”

Zhou Xiaoming said: "Ah Cai! You still don't understand what I mean, I don't think this place in Hong Kong City is suitable for mainland people to live and work! In my opinion, running an industry in Hong Kong City and doing business is to deal with hooligans, ruffians, corrupt officials and corrupt officials! I've hated both of these since I was a kid! I don't want to be with you! I still want to go back to the mainland and be an ordinary person innocently! Do you understand?! O barbarian! ”

Xiaoda smiled and said, "Alas! Zhou Xiaoming! I've convinced you, don't you always think that you're so noble, okay?! The beautiful flowers all grow from the cow dung heap, there is no silt at the bottom of the water, and the white lotus flowers cannot come out of the water! Who do you think you are?! On that day, if you can still be as noble as you are now when you have no food to eat, then you have become an immortal! ”

Zhou Xiaoming smiled and said, "Alas! Xiaoda! Unexpectedly, you are becoming more and more cultured with Ah Cai! To put it bluntly, I really don't like cow dung and silt! I just want to go home and be the original Zhou Xiaoming! I just want to live with my family! Do you understand? ”

I said, "Okay! Xiaoming, bear with me for a while! When the opportunity is ripe, I will let you go home! We won't force you to do something you don't want to do! However, you have to remember that no matter what we do, we have to go through a lot of hardships and tribulations! The mainland is not a paradise either! It's not like pies fall from the sky every day! If you want to, it must be Taiwan's airdrop cookies! ”

Everyone laughed!

After we finished talking, Dr. Wei and Zhou Xiaoming drove back to the Rose Garden to rest.

After they left, Xiao Da said, "Ah Cai! It seems that people's hearts are scattered! ”

I said, "Yes! There will not be many people who can travel the same way! Everyone has the right to choose the path of life, let them make their own decisions, let's just go our own way! ”

......

At 8 p.m. on March 22, me, Xiaoda, Yanfang, and Kexin were drinking tea and chatting in the living room at home.

Xiaoda said: "Yanfang, Kexin! Do you two know about Taiwanese classmates wanting to go home? ”

Kexin smiled and said, "Alas! Those who want to go back have a backer at home! I'm a poor man, what are I going to do back?! I'm here to do it with you for the rest of my life! ”

Yanfang said, "That's it! These people, their brains are in water! It's an isolated island, and many people still regard it as their hometown! Sooner or later, these people will have to go to the sea to feed the fish! ”

I said, "Alas! You can't say that, everyone is here to live a better life! As long as you feel good, you can live there! ”

Xiaoda smiled and said, "Yes! Wish they were gone sooner! Let's just do our own thing! As long as we do a good job in industrial projects such as Haolong and Xinghailong, we will be able to live a good life! ”

......

After that, we really didn't have much to do in terms of the CIA service station, and our lives were very regular, and we put most of our time and energy into setting up industrial projects! Therefore, we feel that time flies!

.....

After the plan was explained, David Zeng said: "Chairman!

At the same time, fully consider the needs of the property in terms of property sales and leasing! These are two mega-scale urban commercial complex projects. If it is put into operation, it will bring new economic vitality to the port city society! ”

After listening to David Zeng's explanation and discussion, I feel that he is indeed a genius in architectural planning and business planning!

Everyone has no objections to their plans, and the two plans here have been approved!

After the report meeting, Brother Long was very happy, he took his own people away!

I, Sister Wen Juan, Xiao Da, Cai Jinghua and Mr. Tang were in my office to discuss with David Tsang the signing of the Project Engineering and Architectural Design Entrustment Contract.

I said, "Mr. Zeng has worked hard! You've put a lot of effort into the past month! ”

David Zeng said: "Chairman! Don't say that I'm a shareholder of my company! You should pay a little more! ”

I said, "Mr. Zeng! Do you see how the design fees for these two projects are charged? ”

David Zeng said: "Chairman! Xinghailong project is a big project, and design is hard work! We charge 2.5% of the comprehensive cost of the project according to the minimum limit of the industry regulations! We increase our design expertise and complete the design task in three months! What do you think? ”

I said, "Yes!" Lawyer Tang, go and prepare the contract documents! Today we sign the contract to pay! Tomorrow you will get to work! ”。

David Zeng said, "Yes! Thank you, Chairman! ”

Lawyer Tang took Sister Wenjuan and Xiaoda to prepare the contract!

I entrusted the payment by phone and remitted US$200 million of the company's operating reserves from Zhou Zilong's account to Xinghailong's account.

After Yanfang and Kexin checked the operating reserve in Xinghailong's company's account, they informed me that I handed over Xinghailong's past expense bills to them, and they began to manage Xinghailong's company's finances and compile the company's financial accounts.

After Mr. Tang prepared the "Project Engineering and Architectural Design Entrustment Contract" of the Xinghailong Project, he showed David Zeng and me that the main terms of the contract are as follows:

1. Design task: In accordance with the best specifications, project environment, and project operation needs, design the engineering, construction, and installation of facilities and equipment required for the project environment and property of the Xinghailong project and the New Century Project.

2. Working hours: April 22 to July 22, 1977.

3. Design fee and payment: The project design fee is 50 million US dollars, 50% of the advance payment will be paid after signing the contract, the design plan will be submitted and the first functional department will be submitted, and the full amount will be paid after the audit and acceptance of the enterprise, and the design company will provide tax stamps to the enterprise for accounting.

After David Zeng and I both decided that there was no problem, we signed and stamped a set of contracts.

After signing the contract, Yanfang remitted a $25 million contract advance from Xinghailong's account to David Zeng's design company.

After David Zeng checked the remittance by phone, he issued a receipt for the contract advance payment to Yanfang.

After the remittance was processed, David Zeng and I had a separate conversation in my office.

David Zeng smiled and said, "Ah Cai! Why are you talking to me? Is my design fee too high? ”

I said, "Brother David! Not this thing! I want to talk to you about my sister Qin Wenjuan! My sister is a very simple girl, she has suffered a lot since she was a child, this time, I brought here to live and work, mainly so that she will not suffer and can live a good life! Brother David, you are very talented and very likable to girls! I've heard that you've been taking my sister out to movies and meals lately, and I'm so grateful for your warm attention to her! I just wanted to ask you, what is the purpose of your association with my sister? ”

David Zeng smiled and said, "Ah Cai! I see what you mean! I'm serious about your sister, I'm over 25 years old this year, I like Wen Juan to be with her! If we get along, in the future, I will marry Wen Juan and start a family! Here's what I really think! ”

I said, "Brother David! Well, I'll tell you the truth! Actually, I would like you to be my brother and partner in my career! I don't really want you to be my brother-in-law! I think this way because there are so many differences between us and you in our values, judgments and attitudes towards society and life! For example, our views and attitudes towards gambling and so on! If two parties with different values want to live intimately together, there will definitely be a very serious conflict! Therefore, I don't think my sister is suitable to be your girlfriend or wife! ”

David Zeng said, "Oh! Actually, I also know that gambling is not good! However, gambling is very common in this society, and gambling is just a form of entertainment for people to interact with others! If you are particularly disgusted with these things, I can stop doing these things in the future! I'll help you do things! ”

I said, "Good! I want you to do what you say! Actually, I'm a person who cares about my money and life! However, I care very much about the feelings of my fellow relatives, and I can't see them being deceived, bullied, or harmed! You should believe that I dare to do anything, and I can do it well! ”

David Zeng said: "Ah Cai! You don't have to say it! I know you're saying this for my own good! In the future, I will definitely be a good person! ”

I said, "Good! You go and do it! I hope that, in the future, we will stop talking about this! ”

David Zeng left my office with his briefcase and went to their design firm to arrange the design assignment.

After David Zeng's conversation, Xiaoda and I drove back to our home in the Demon Star Villa.

Arrived home at noon, and after lunch, I made a personal financial settlement in my home office.

The cash position in Zhou Zilong's UBS account is:

Recently, a rent for two buildings in the Magic Star Villa was paid for the period from April 4, 1976 to April 5, 1979, with an annual rent of $2.8 million.

Therefore, the cash in Zhou Zilong's account is: $823,383,900.

The account also has two financial assets:

(1) 325,000,000 ounces of gold spot certificates of deposit, at an interest rate of 11.5% per annum, with a maturity from June 23, 1976 to June 23, 1979.

(2) 105,263,200 ounces of gold spot certificates of deposit, with an interest rate of 11.5% per annum, with a maturity from March 20, 1977 to March 20, 1979.

The cash situation in my safe is:

The cash after settlement on February 10 was US$16.3 million, and the balance of the activity fund was US$200,000, or 95,000 yuan. Wen Juan returned $467,500 in cash. In terms of expenditure, the expenditure for the last two months was $15,000.

The cash in the safe is: 16,952,500 US dollars, 95,000 yuan.

Cash situation in my CAI payroll expense bank account:

Cash at close January 30 was $9.22 million, with recent salary and fee income of $0.5 million; The bonus income is $1,000,000, therefore, the account has $10.27 million in cash.

After settling the accounts, Xiaoda and I drank tea and chatted in the living room.

Xiaoda said: "Ah Cai! Do we still have enough money? ”

I said, "Enough!" Now, there's plenty of cash! When the interest on our CDs arrives, we will not be short of cash at all! ”

Xiaoda smiled and said, "Okay! Alas, I feel that doing real estate is too expensive! Will we be able to earn this money back in the future? After we develop this land, we will invest at least one or two billion dollars! If we can't earn back this money, our efforts in the past few years will be in vain! ”

I said, "Not a big problem! Now the property market and the gold market are rising! Now, we are costing $400 to $800 per square meter of property! I think that in two years, the average price of a mid-grade property here should not be lower than $8,000 per square meter! As long as we operate well in the marketing process, we will definitely be able to make a lot of money! ”

Xiaoda smiled and said, "Oops! If that's the case, in the future, we won't have to work, and when the time comes, you can go fishing every day! ”

Everyone laughed!
