22. Ready to dry

Liu Huiming saw that it was still early, took out the business cards of Lao Li and Lao Dai from his bag, put them on the table, dialed them to Li Hou first, and Lao Li's voice came from the earpiece: "Hey, looking for that?" ”

"Monkey, I'm Ming"

"Buffalo? It's been a long time since I've been in touch, how are you doing?"

"I'm going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, so I'll be straightforward, there is a project recently, you come to inspect it. Time is tight, if you are free, come over quickly, and if you are not free, you must arrange the things in hand and come over as soon as possible. ”

"What's so urgent?"

"Let's talk about the teaching assistant, I'll tell the rat later, the three of us haven't been together for a few years. Take this opportunity to get together too. ”

"Okay, I'll explain to the unit tomorrow, and I'll take the train over in the afternoon."

"Don't do the train, come by plane, your unit doesn't report, I'll report it to you"

"Then you don't need to report it, this bit of power is still there. It's just that the ticket is not easy to get. I'll call right away to see if I can buy a ticket, I'll call you tomorrow morning when the results are available."

"You call home, I'm home tomorrow morning. We'll talk about it when we meet, I'll hang up the phone on the mouse now."

Liu Huiming, Li Hou, and Dai Zhiqiang were classmates at the Workers' and Peasants' and Soldiers' University in 1970 and friends in the same dormitory. Li Hou was the biggest, because he was tall and thin back then, and his name was homophonic "Li Monkey", so he was nicknamed: "Monkey". Liu Huiming's surname is Liu You, and he is a cow, and the monkey is not to be outdone, giving him a nickname: buffalo. Dai Zhiqiang is one year older than the buffalo, and his natural nickname is: Mouse. Each of their dormitories has an animal nickname, and the name of the dormitory is naturally called the zoo.

After graduating, the three of them are all in the cultural department, although they are not in the same place, but they are all in the same unit, so the relationship is very good. Over the years, everyone has been promoted to leadership positions.

Liu Huiming hung up the phone to Dai Zhiqiang again and asked him to come to the provincial capital as soon as possible.

After making the call, Feng Sufen was ready to put away all the money. Liu Huiming ordered 1,000 and put it in his bag and said, "Lao Li and Lao Dai may arrive tomorrow." I'll pick them up in the afternoon, you clean up tomorrow, and we'll have dinner together. ”

Su Fen agreed while sorting out the money.

"By the way, you take Yingzi tomorrow morning to buy Sony's tape recorder. Bring some extra money and buy two. ”

"Why buy two? To Lao Li? Or is it Lao Dai? ”

"No, that champion is going to school next month, I can't express it, you also tell your father, let him say hello, the soft sleeper at the end of the month must be nervous, let him leave one for that champion lang." I met him for the past two days and asked him which school he attended. ”

The next day, today, Saturday the 4th, this week is a small week, and I was supposed to go to work. But Liu Huiming did not go to work, and waited at home until Feng Guangming came to the house.

Liu Huiming said: "Guangming, how is your work lately? ”

"It's still like that, you can't hold on if you don't starve to death"

"You're not too young, I discussed with your sister, don't run on the railway, there is no future in selling peanuts and melon seeds."

"I don't want to do it either, the old man called, what can I do."

"Dad, I'll go say hello, you have been following me recently, watch more and talk less, I will temporarily give you a salary of 300 yuan a month, what do you think?"

"How much? That's more than my sister's salary."

"You do a good job, this money is just the beginning, and I will give you shares later." It depends on your performance, or if you are a hanger, you will go back to the car to sell melon seeds. ”

"Brother-in-law, don't. I'm sure I'll do a good job, let me ask first, is this salary paid to me personally? Or send it to my mother? ”

"Of course it's for you, for the mother, we should be filial, we will come out ourselves. Take your money to show filial piety, then what's it. ”

"Then good brother-in-law, does this work for my sister?"

"It's going to work, we won't let her interfere in our business."

"Okay, I'll listen to you"

Liu Huiming said: "You go back first, go to the industrial and commercial office to apply for a license, and the business scope will be written: wholesale and retail of books and periodicals, get it done as soon as possible, and after the license is ready, you will immediately go to the tax office to apply for an invoice." Don't delay time in the middle, run hard in these two days, and stare at the license to come down early. After speaking, he took out three hundred yuan and handed it to Feng Guangming. You take the money and use it first. When you find someone to do something, you should spend money and spend money, don't pick and search. Swap the cigarette for Hongta Mountain's"

After explaining everything, he sent Feng Guangming back.

At noon, Sufen and Yingzi did not return. Liu Huiming heated up some leftovers and took two bites casually, and drove straight to Hugang Airport.

At three o'clock, Liu Huiming saw Li Hou coming out of the domestic export. Liu Huiming took two steps forward, and the two hugged each other tightly, "Huiming!" "Li Hou!"

"Zhiqiang is China Eastern Airlines MU3558, there are 40 minutes to go"

Just after 4 o'clock, Dai Zhiqiang also came out. The two stepped forward and shook hands with each other.

Zhiqiang said, "What's the matter? We were summoned in such a hurry. ”

"Let's go to dinner first, and then talk in the evening."

Li Hou said: "Zhiqiang, what is your situation, some provinces are already piloting, saying that the country will open up the distribution channels, and it will no longer be distributed by our bookstores."

Zhiqiang said: "Yes, the reform has finally come to us, and the good days will be gone forever." ”

Hui Ming said: "This is the trend of the times, and it is better for us to make plans as soon as possible." ”

Zhiqiang: "Yes, there was a rumor a few years ago that the publishing house has always wanted the right of free distribution, and after so many years of struggle, I think the right of distribution will be broken sooner or later. ”

Hui Ming said: "Have you received the wind?" It doesn't matter if you break the right to republish"

The two of them were surprised and asked, "It doesn't matter?" What else does it matter? ”

Hui Ming said: "Xia Xue said"

The eyes of the two immediately lit up, and Li Hou said, "You still have contact?" ”

Zhiqiang also said: "How many years have you been apart since she stayed in Kyoto?"

Hui Ming said: "Talking about business, can you two stop gossiping?" ”

The two said in unison: "This is the right thing." ”

"Don't regret it, this is an inside message from the Press and Publication Administration."

The two of them looked at Hui Ming's serious expression, and knew that Xia Xue worked in the General Administration and might have some important news, so they asked, "What news?" ”

Hui Ming said: "The General Administration is considering separating our stores from all parts of the country, accounting independently, and operating completely independently." That day is not far off. ”

When the two heard this, they were dumbfounded. This is encouraging rebellion. The places are really separated, and those three people have not become the commanders of the light poles.

Li Hou asked, "When is the news?" ”

Hui Ming said: "I was studying it in April, and the pilot is estimated to be next year." ”

Zhiqiang said, "That's why you called us here?" ”

Hui Ming said: "That's not for this matter, this is the decision of the General Administration, and it is still in the stage of secrecy." It will not help to call you to counsel. ”

While talking, the car was almost home. Hui Ming said: "Eat first, talk about it in the evening, don't mention Xia Xue's matter later." ”

Huiming picked up Sufen and Yingzi and drove to Daoxiang Village.

Daoxiang Village was founded in the 50s, with an area of more than 600 acres and a ring park in the east, Baochi Scenic Area in the north, surrounded by water on three sides, and the natural scenery is very beautiful. The hotel is full of trees, bamboo shadows, quiet and elegant, birds singing and fragrant, which has the reputation of "urban bird island" and the reputation of "natural oxygen bar"; There are rockeries, fountains, lotus ponds and a variety of flowers for guests to watch, and there are more roads around the lake, islands in the middle of the lake, stone bridges, pavilions for recreation, there is water in the mountains, there are mountains in the water, the water is light and the mountains are all in one, and they contrast with each other.

Daoxiangcun Hotel integrates catering and accommodation, and Guiyuan, Hezhuang, Xiyuan, Nancun and North stores are accommodations. Dining is in the East Building. It has the reputation of "ten miles of rice flowers, delicacies gather in the East Building".

Hui Ming first led the two of them to handle the accommodation, and when the two of them tidied up a little, the five of them walked to the east building for dinner.

The two were worried about the split of the head office and frowned. At the dinner table, Su Fen was there, and it was not good to ask in person. The table was full of gluttonous meals, and the two of them were also tasteless.
