"Chen Sheng, just now President Liang of Xinhua News Agency called, and he said that there is an important thing that needs to be told to you personally, it is about a person you entrusted him to find." Early in the morning, after Chen Zhiwen had just arrived at the office, the assistant secretary of the board came over and said.

"What?" Chen Zhiwen was shocked, and naturally knew what it was, so he immediately said: "Okay, you call back, and say that I will go to Xinhua News Agency immediately." ”

"Okay." The assistant hurriedly left, and Chen Zhiwen wanted to call his old man, but after thinking about it, he was sure to talk about it.

Hong Kong Island is not large, and half an hour later, Chen Zhiwen appeared in the office of the president of the Xinhua News Agency.

"Chen Sheng, please take a seat." President Liang said very politely.

"President Liang is polite." Chen Zhiwen smiled and said, "I don't know if you found my uncle in the mainland?" ”

For this uncle, Chen Zhiwen has never seen it, and naturally he can't talk about feelings, but his old man cares too much, even if he can't talk about it day and night, he often thinks about it suddenly, and then he will be sad for a long time.

"Yes, your uncle is currently working in an agricultural bureau in Tianjin." President Liang said with a smile.

He entrusted a friend to look for it in Yanjing City before, but there was no movement after looking for a year, and he couldn't find it at all, but after the follow-up change, he needed foreign exchange, and the efficiency was naturally different, and he soon found it, the original person was in Tianjin, although it was very close to Yanjing, but he did not have the ability to find it, not that he didn't know anyone in Tianjin, but he didn't know that people were in Tianjin at all.

"Tianjin Agricultural Bureau? I didn't expect my uncle to get mixed up with a small official position. Chen Zhiwen said with a smile.

Two months ago, it was basically after he was just preparing to make a big investment in Shekou Industrial Zone, and sure enough, after the big investment, the mainland's top management will definitely pay attention to themselves, especially the investment that can provide foreign exchange, not to mention, the investment in Shekou is just a drop in the bucket of Chen Zhiwen's industry.

"It's not small, it's a section chief, he has already gotten the news, do you want us to arrange someone to send your uncle to Hong Kong?" President Liang asked.

"Let's go as a family." Chen Zhiwen thought for a while and said, "After I discuss with my father, I will decide which day to go, it should be the last few days." ”

"Okay, then I'll wait for news from Chen Sheng." President Liang agreed.

Three days later, a Cathay Pacific Boeing 737 business jet took off from Kai Tak Airport and flew to Yanjing.

After arriving at Yanjing Airport, a deputy director of the State Administration of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation came to pick up the plane in person, and this trip was only a private visit, and an official at the level of the future vice minister of commerce came to pick up the plane, which was already very high-end.

And after just being polite, he accompanied Chen Zhiwen directly on the journey to TJ City.

Yanjing and Tianjin belong to one of the most prosperous areas in the country, the road here is not bad, but the car is not very good, not fast, at most 60 yards, plus the highway is also winding and winding, there are many pedestrians and bicycles on the road, and also passed through a small county, until 3 hours later, it was not to the TJ municipal government.

Many people were already waiting outside, and when Chen Tianfu got out of the car, he saw familiar faces at a glance.

"Big brother?" Chen Tianfu's eyes were a little moist, and he said excitedly.

"Tianfu, it's been almost 30 years." Chen Tianshou, who had gray temples, looked at his familiar brother and said happily.

"yes, 30 years." Chen Tianfu hurriedly accepted his heart, if they met alone, it was estimated that they would have to cry a little, but there were so many people here, they still couldn't hold back, so he said: "Come, big brother, this is my son Chen Zhiwen, this is my wife Wu Xiuling." ”

"Big brother (uncle) is good." The two shouted in unison.

"Okay, Tianfu, you have given birth to a good son." Chen Tianshou said with a smile: "This is my son Chen Wenjun, come here and see some of your cousins and aunts." ”

"My cousin is good, my aunt is good." Chen Wenjun is not a big grade, and he seems to be a little afraid of life.

"Okay, it's very handsome." Chen Tianfu was even happier when he saw his nephew, if it weren't for the fact that many people at the scene, according to the rules of Hong Kong, they would have to wrap a super big red envelope.

"Your son is more handsome, and he is also very powerful, I only know your achievements in Hong Kong, amazing." Chen Tianshou said.

"Time is also fate." Chen Tianfu said: "The eldest brother's son is still so young? How old is Wenjun this year? What about sister-in-law? ”

"12 years old, I'm much later than you, the child has gone to the province and can't be reached by phone." Chen Tianshou said.

"That's a pity." Chen Tianfu nodded and said.

The two elders were talking, and Chen Zhiwen didn't say much, but looked at his little cousin in a trance, this seems to be his only "brother" in this world?

"A few people, it's windy outside, and the reception room has been prepared inside, why don't you go indoors first?" said an official in TJ City.

"Okay, let's go in first." Chen Zhiwen agreed.

The group walked towards the office building, and on the way, everyone introduced each other.

The TJ Municipal Party Committee obviously attaches great importance to Chen Zhiwen's arrival, and there are a large number of flowers, red carpets and welcome signs at the entrance of the office building, and the reception room is also very well prepared, with all kinds of fruits.

The main arena in the reception room was the two brothers of the Chen family, and after everyone was polite, they left for business reasons.

President Liang still accompanied Chen Zhiwen to a conference room, where he gathered with some leaders of TJ City, and a secretary of the Municipal Party Committee introduced the current situation of various factories in TJ City.

"Mr. Chen, now that the central government is promoting the attraction of foreign investment, we also have a large industrial base in TJ City, and we also have a port to go to sea, I wonder if you are interested in investing in Tianjin?" After the secretary above finished the introduction, another leader asked with a smile.

"To invest in Tianjin, you have to be a joint venture, right?" Chen Zhiwen asked with a light smile, although this time I came to visit relatives, but if you want this group of people who lack foreign exchange to sell gold and don't talk about investment with you, it is impossible, and since you are here, you must also be interesting.

"Yes, joint venture is the current policy, we can contribute land, construction, labor, you can contribute capital, and then we will produce together and then export overseas, or you can also choose to invest in our existing factory." After speaking, his face was full of anticipation, and the others seemed to be similar.

Chen Zhiwen nodded and said: "Okay, we can all discuss, but you also have to give me some more detailed information, especially about the list of some enterprises in TJ City, product information, scale, etc., I need to take a look at it specifically to decide what to invest in?" ”

"No problem, Chen Sheng, you are tired of traveling today, rest for a night at night, and tomorrow morning, we will send you this information." The secretary of the municipal party committee said with a professional smile.

"Okay, thank you for your reception." Chen Zhiwen also said politely.

After staying in the municipal party committee building until dark, everyone was arranged to go to a nearby hotel, and after dawn the next day, they went to Chen's house, which is located 30 kilometers south of the city of TJ.

After Chen Zhiwen and the others left, a big leader said to the secretary just now: "Xiao Wang, do we have any information?" ”

"Yes, it is not sorted out as required by Mr. Chen Zhiwen, and I will sort out the information all night long." Xiao Wang said.

"Let Xiao Liu and Xiao Li help you together, this is the most important thing for us at present, now the foreign exchange quota in the city is limited, so many companies want to purchase overseas equipment, it is simply not enough, this time someone in Yanjing told me, if you can't keep Chen Zhiwen's investment, I'm sorry for giving us the opportunity." The big leader said cautiously.

"Okay, I understand." Xiao Wang promised that the current degree of shortage of foreign exchange in the country, these people know best, not only foreign exchange, but also the economy is also very poor, many factories produce things that cannot be sold, but the people can't afford to buy them, and then many factories can't afford to pay wages, and the problems are messy and can't be sorted out.

Now the best way to break the situation is to introduce foreign capital, after foreign capital comes in, there will be a capital to enter the market, which can save large factories, and then foreign capital will bring overseas markets, and the products produced by factories can also be exported, so that workers have a long-term income, not to mention what problems are solved at the national level, that is, in TJ City, as long as a few large factories can do this, the economy will be much better.

That night, Chen Tianshou and Chen Tianfu drank the small wine they brought back from Hong Kong, drank until midnight, and kept talking, Chen Zhiwen also listened for a while, but was later invited away by the two brothers, so they fell asleep early.

The next day, Xiao Wang, secretary of the municipal party committee, sent a handwritten list, the font is very beautiful, and the serial number is also written, a total of 136 enterprises, the main ones are all kinds of light industry factories, which is also normal, heavy factories are the lifeblood of the country, not the central government intended, it is unlikely to cooperate with foreign capital.

However, the investment is not something that can be settled in a day or two, and it is obviously more important to go to the uncle's house.

Everyone got into the car, the car drove fast, but to the suburbs of Tianjin, the road was not as good as before, the manual transmission of the Shanghai brand car stalled several times, but the driver and the accompanying municipal party committee cadres were very accustomed, that is, President Liang said a little embarrassed: "Chen Sheng, please don't care, domestic cars, often this situation." ”

"It's okay, I understand." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said, building a car, itself is the crown of human industry, involving almost all industries, without a large amount of cash industrial equipment, the domestic can actually be built better than most countries, in this per capita GDP of the world's lowest country, is already a great achievement.

Quality and technology, it is true that only after the foreign-funded factories come into the joint venture can be improved, and the use of foreign exchange to import cars, that is very little, in the current country, trucks and buses belong to the means of production, they can create value, but family cars are not, unless it is a military vehicle or the like.

"I'll pay to buy some cars from abroad." Chen Tianfu walked over and said.

"No, I've already purchased a lot of American off-road vehicles in Hong Kong, and I'll arrange for someone to send a few when I get back." Chen Zhiwen said.

Considering the road conditions in China, he has long been ready to send some cars into the big cities in China, so that he can use them conveniently every time he comes in the future, but the current change has just begun, and it also takes time to send it in, for example, he is going to a certain city, and he can send it in advance.

But this time I came to Tianjin in a hurry, and the car was not easy to transport by air, so I had to come first.

"It's okay, give my eldest brother and they will have one." Chen Tianfu said.

When Chen Tianshou heard this, he hurriedly shook his head and said, "This can't be done, I can't ask for it, and I can't afford to add this oil." ”

Just kidding, imported cars? The leaders of the municipal party committee do not necessarily have only a few, what is it if he drives one? And it's too ostentatious.

"Uncle, there's no urgency." Chen Zhiwen smiled and said, it is indeed not good to give a domestic official an imported car, even if it is a relative, but it is not impossible, such as giving it to the municipal party committee, and then someone else will drive it on his behalf?

The car soon arrived in the western suburbs, which was also the Xiqing District under the later TJ City, and is still similar to a county model.

After a while, the car came to the side of a tube room, and many people around cast strange glances, cars are not uncommon, but there are not many times parked near their homes, and the license plate number at the front is a little scary, and everyone who has a little vision knows that this must be a big leader from the city.

Seeing that it was Chen Tianshou and a group of people who seemed to be big shots getting out of the car, the people around him didn't dare to run forward to ask even if they were familiar.

Chen Tianshou was also a little embarrassed when he saw a group of neighbors, but it was not the time to say hello, so he smiled and brought a few people to his house.

The area of the house is not large, Chen Zhiwen took a look after entering, and it was only about 20 square meters, divided into two rooms, which should be a husband and wife of his own uncle and cousin.

"Sit down, the environment is a little bit not good." Chen Tianshou said.

"It doesn't matter, this is much better than when we were children, I remember that at that time, I couldn't afford to buy rice porridge for the Chinese New Year, and my father removed the beams of the house and went to change some millet, and I was happy at that time." Chen Tianfu said.

"Yes, it's a pity that it snowed heavily that day, and the house collapsed, but fortunately Lin Bo next door took in our family, otherwise, we might really freeze to death." Chen Tianshou also said with emotion.

"How's your hometown? Have you been there all these years? Chen Tianfu asked.

Chen Tianshou shook his head and said: "No, after gaining a foothold in Tianjin, I once went back and thought that I could find you, but there was no one over there, and a mudslide destroyed our village." ”

"I don't know what happened to the folks back then?" Chen Tianfu said with a sigh.

"Alright, let's not talk about that." Chen Tianshou paused and said.

"Okay." Chen Tianfu looked around and said, "Big brother, let's do it, on the way here before, I saw a department store, why don't we go somewhere, I'll add something to you." ”

"No, I've been like this for decades, and it doesn't matter." Chen Tianshou shook his head and said.

"You haven't owned it, so it doesn't matter, don't talk about anything else, you don't even have an electric fan at home, you can't die of heat this summer, do you know, Zhiwen's company is the world's largest electric fan manufacturing factory, you say that you, the uncle, how can you not even have an electric fan?" Chen Tianfu said with a smile.

"yes, let's go check it out." Chen Zhiwen also said.

Even a few people on the side followed suit, and after a while, Chen Tianshou couldn't stand it anymore, so he could only agree.

A group of people happily went to the nearby department store, the appearance of several cars, the department store naturally attached great importance to it, the store manager personally came out to greet, when he knew that there was a leader of the municipal party committee and district committee, he was even more positive, and all the goods were discounted by 20%.

However, it is not a loss, Chen Zhiwen did not take all kinds of bills, but directly used US dollars, which made the store manager's eyes green.

"That color TV is Sony's?" Chen Zhiwen walked to a fence surrounded by railings, looked at a color TV in the middle and said.

"Yes, this is imported from Sony, the price is relatively high, and it must be traded in foreign exchange, if Mr. Chen is interested, I can arrange for someone to open it." Manager Luo said.

"Is it possible to import overseas electrical appliances from the domestic friendship store now?" Chen Zhiwen asked again.

"Basically, it can't, but these electrical appliances in Japan are sponsored by the Japanese side, and I heard that it was because when a big leader inspected Japan, the Japanese side sent a batch of electrical appliances, and Tianjin got more than a dozen units, and there was no friendship store in the western suburbs, so we got one." Manager Luo said.

"Oh, I see." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said, in fact, Midea also intended to send a batch of electrical appliances to China before, but was rejected by China Resources, and this kind of thing, Chen Zhiwen will not use his own favor to do, although it seems that the matter is not big, but if you want to send your goods to so many friendship stores in China, you really have a certain network to do it, and now it is obvious that Sony has done it.

"What's wrong?" Chen Tianfu asked.

Chen Zhiwen pointed to the color TV in front of him and said with a smile: "Sony's TV, Dad, you should have guessed what I was thinking?" ”

"Japan's? This brand is much better than ours, right? Chen Tianfu looked at it and said, he also knew that his son had long cared about the domestic market.

"That's a foreign country, and the mainland is now blank, and whoever comes in first wins." Chen Zhiwen smiled and said.

"Then you can give it a try? But is there a chance? Chen Tianfu asked.

"There should be." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said, "Let's not talk about it yet, this is not in a hurry." ”
