On the evening of June 10, 1978, after dinner, me, Yanfang, Xiaoda and Kexin chatted in the living room of our home.

Yanfang said: "Ah Cai! At noon, Aunt Yangcheng Wen called! Said that the design plan of the China-Hong Kong project came out, let you go to the Yangcheng office to see the plan and drawings, as well as the Yangcheng Central and South Base, and the staff of the office should also discuss with you! Hurry up and get the results of these two things! When you come back, the affairs of the port city Haolong, Xinghailong and the New Century Project will also be dealt with! Otherwise, the operation and opening of the project at the end of the year will be delayed! ”

Kexin said: "Ah Cai! After Sister Wen Juan and they left, there were only three boys left in the trade department of Hualong Company, Cai Jinghua, Bai Furong and Bai Fugui, due to the lack of manpower to do things, they couldn't be busy now! Cai Jinghua proposed, let us send a few people to work in the Hualong Trade Department! I think Li Lan and Li Mei from the Finance Department of the CIA Service Station, Jiang Hua and Zhao Yuefang from the Archives Office, the four girls are all good! They are good looks, they and I are classmates in primary and secondary school! I recommend the four of them to work in Hualong Company! All four of them told me they didn't want to work in the CIA anymore! They felt that the CIA was lifeless, and that environment was too oppressive! ”

I said, "Okay! That's exactly what happened! Coa! Tomorrow morning, you let all four of them report to work in Hualong Company, you and Yanfang will go through the entry procedures for them and arrange jobs for them, because they have not resigned in the CIA, therefore, the four of them have to take care of their work in the CIA, and they can't let other people in the CIA service station gossip! At the same time, the four people you introduced know Cai Jinghua, Bai Furong and Bai Fugui, so that they can get familiar with the business of the International Trade Department of Hualong Company as soon as possible! ”

Yanfang smiled and said, "Okay! Definitely not doing trade without girls! Li Lan and Li Mei manage the finance department and housekeeping of Hualong Company, and Jiang Hua and Zhao Yuefang can go to business! ”

Xiao Da scratched his head and said, "Eh! How do I feel like there's been so much going on this year?! One thing after another finds us! Are we too old?! ”

Kexin smiled and said, "Xiaoda! Now you're starting to get superstitious and lazy! Didn't we come over like this that day in the past few years?! Think for yourself, how many things have you done with Ah Cai?! I feel that the Secretary-General in charge of world affairs is not busy! Yes! In the evening, you and Ah Cai go to the corner of the garden to burn incense to the gods! Let them bless you! ”

Everyone laughed!

......

On the morning of June 11th, after breakfast, Xiaoda and I drove to Longgo Pier.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, we caught the speedboat bound for Yangcheng.

At 12 o'clock at noon, we arrived at Yangcheng Afei Wharf, and Brother Li De was picked up at the wharf to go to the Hualong office.

When we arrived at the office, Uncle Xian, Uncle Huo, Aunt Wen, Sister Caiyan, Brother Zhengjun and Brother Zhengmin were all there, and after we had lunch, we chatted in the living room of the office.

Uncle Xian said: "Ah Cai! Yan Feng, Hao Xihu, Ma Fengtian and others came to our office conference room at half past 1 in the afternoon for a meeting! They want to discuss the start of the China-Hong Kong project with you! ”

Uncle Huo said: "Ah Cai! The budget for the Yangcheng base project is also out! After you discuss the China-Hong Kong project, we will discuss the preparation plan and budget of the Zhongnan base! ”

......

At about 1 o'clock in the afternoon, Yan Feng, Hao Xihu, Ma Fengfeng, Gu Yunong and others came to the office conference room for a meeting, and me, Xiaoda, Uncle Xian and Aunt Wen attended.

Uncle Ma smiled and said, "Ah Cai! I'm sorry! We can't help with the fact that your house in Hong Kong City was blown up by bad guys! You're out of here, aren't you?! ”

I laughed and said, "Alas! Uncle Ma is just our leader! You're not a god, why should you help us! We're done with that! You should have read the newspapers in Port City! We have set up a King Kong Veyron security company! We have just made a great contribution to the Hong Kong government! ”

Everyone laughed!

Director Ma smiled and said, "Ah Cai! Mr. Yan's overall planning is very good! They are a veteran design and construction unit, and the China-Hong Kong project is too important to our local social and economic development! Therefore, we want this project to design and construct at the same time, so as to speed up the construction of the whole project! ”

Yan Feng said: "Chairman Zhou! In the past, we used to do this in order to meet the deadline! In fact, the China-Hong Kong project is a conventional design, and for us, it is familiar with the road and no difficulty! We just need time to work! At present, the general plan of this project has come out, we can deal with the earthwork, as well as the road foundation and other places of construction, and when these works are done, the architectural design plan should all come out, at that time our construction company began to do detailed work! Therefore, we can sign the "Project Construction General Contracting Contract"! ”

I said, "Okay! Director Ma, Mr. Yan, are they in line with the rules like this? Now, this design scheme can only be regarded as passing the general plan of the project, what if there is a problem with the construction design in the future? ”

Director Ma smiled and said, "Ah Cai! It's okay! We are responsible for what happened! Ahh Migrant workers gathered in Luohu Village and other places on the border, knowing that we were going to build an industrial zone like Gangcheng, they wanted to bring the villagers here! Therefore, we have to hurry! If these people are not settled, we will not be able to sleep peacefully! This must be done in a special way! The construction design is mainly factories, apartments, office buildings, commercial areas and family areas, etc., what else can go wrong with these designs? ! ”

I said, "Okay! The final user of this project is Director Ma's side! When we sign the "Project Construction General Contracting Contract" of the China-Hong Kong project, Director Ma will give us a "Letter of Exemption from Liability" according to the special case! Mr. Iwa! Are you ready for the text of the "Project Construction General Contracting Contract"? ”

Mr. Yan said: "Chairman Zhou! We're ready, please take a look! ”

Then, Yan Feng showed me the text of the "Project Construction General Contracting Contract" of the China-Hong Kong Project, and the basic contents of the contract are as follows:

The total contract cost of project construction and installation: 2.4 billion yuan (all materials, equipment and labor involved in the project are made of domestic materials, equipment and personnel.) ）

Payment method: 30% of the total amount is signed in advance, of which 10% is used as the project quality deposit, and the actual payment is 480 million yuan, the actual payment is 480 million yuan for more than half of the project (expected on June 15, 1979), and the actual payment is 1.32 billion yuan after the overall completion and acceptance of the project, of which 5% of the total contract payment is 120 million yuan, which is paid to the contractor after the quality complaint within two years after the completion of the project.

After reading the text of the contract, I asked Aunt Wen to show the financial accounts of Hualong Company.

The situation settled on 20 April 1978 was:

The cash in the account of Yangcheng Hualong Company is 935 million yuan, and the deposit receipts on the account are:

(1) $3,000,000,000 deposit at an annual interest rate of 9.5% from January 28, 1977 to January 29, 1982.

(2) $20 billion in deposits with an annual interest rate of 9.5% from June 21, 1977 to June 22, 1982.

If, this month, a sum of 1.9 billion yuan of interest arrives, the account cash is 2.835 billion yuan.

At the time of settlement on 20 April 1978, the office had cash of $88,615,500 and $0.6 million.

Office management expenses: 7,500 yuan/month× February=15,000 yuan;

As a result, the cash balance of the office amounted to $88,600,500 and $0.6 million.

I see that there is no problem with the text of the contract, the funds on the account of Yangcheng Hualong Company are sufficient, Director Ma and they issued us the "Sino-Hong Kong Project Construction Exemption Guarantee Letter", I signed the "China-Hong Kong Project Construction General Contracting Contract" with Yanfeng's engineering group company in the name of the chairman of Yangcheng Hualong Industrial Company.

After signing the contract, Aunt Wen paid Yan Feng an advance payment to their contract account, and after confirming the payment, Yan Feng and they issued us a receipt for the collection.

Yan Feng smiled and said, "Chairman Zhou! Thank you very much! We're going to arrange the design and construction! ”

I said, "Okay! Mr. Yan, our Zhongnan project is undergoing maintenance and repair, reconstruction and addition, etc., please help! ”

Yan Feng smiled and said, "This is easy to say! When the time comes, you can let Uncle Xian and Uncle Huo come to me or Mr. Hao! We try not to charge or charge less! We're on our own! ”

After finishing the work, Yan Feng and the others left with their things, and I, Xiaoda, Uncle Xian, Director Ma and Gu Yunong continued to talk in the conference room.

Director Ma said: "Ah Cai! I heard that your house was bombed?! Why are these people so ruthless? ”

I said, "Alas! Just blew up a couple of our vacant houses! Originally, these people were also from the mainland, but then they went bad! In fact, their way of doing things is similar to ours! ”

Everyone laughed!

Gu Yunong smiled and said, "Alas! Ahh Now the situation in the foreign exchange market is very good, the market open trading exchange rate is stable between the US dollar and the mainland currency between 1:2 and 1:10, and the official price of 1:2 has been able to maintain! The pricing power of market currencies is back in our hands! ”

I said, "Yes! In the future, your bank will provide more convenience for our Zhongnan base project in terms of foreign exchange settlement! ”

Gu Yunong smiled and said, "This is easy to say! Your Zhongnan Base Free Trade Zone is a preferential enterprise! In the future, we will do something special! ”

Director Ma said: "Ah Cai! Don't worry, in the future, your Zhongnan base will do things involving local management, as long as it does not harm our interests, we will definitely give you the green light! Who made us their own people! ”

Everyone laughed!

After the conversation, Director Ma and Gu Yunong also left our office.
