"Why do you want to sell it to me? I have a watch. Jian Lu listened to this statement, and it was difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood.

Kong Liu glanced at the watch on Jian Lu's wrist, which was also quite delicate, but most of the people who sold the watch he sold for could not afford it, so they could only look for these people who looked rich.

"Look at your unusual profession, you are beautiful and energetic, you should wear this watch, the two watches are worn alternately, and the fifteenth day of the new year will come in turn. Besides, how can I sell to whomever I want, there is no second one worthy of this street full of people! Giving the watch to someone else is also a waste! ”

Kong Liuqi is not good-looking, but his mouth is really sharp, and he praised Jian Lu, but he didn't seem flattering, but Jian Lu didn't buy it.

"Forget it, I'm not interested in watches." She had a gut feeling that the man was still not telling the truth.

"Hey, lesbian! Don't go, the price can be negotiated again, otherwise I'll let you have a little more, how about ninety? Not really, sixty! This is the lowest price ever! ”

At present, there are more than 100 watches in department stores, and tickets are required, and Kong Liu feels that his price is reasonable, but not many people can afford this price.

Jian Lu stopped, looked at Kong Liu, and felt unbelievable, this is a watch with a collection amount of hundreds of thousands in later generations, and the global output is not high, Jian Lu still knew about it when she read the news before, and sighed at the time, this watch can pay a down payment for a house, how do you know, now someone actually wants to sell it to him for sixty yuan?!

"Sixty lines, right? I see you like this watch too, so take it! ”

Jian Lu didn't want to buy it, this person couldn't have this watch at first glance, but he hid the origin of the watch from himself, if there was something involved behind the watch, he would only be affected.

"Forget it, you can't tell you how this watch came about, I'm worried that there is a problem, you can find another buyer."

"Hey, I told you!" Kong Liu still wanted to fool around, but when he saw Jian Lu's shrewd eyes, he instantly shut up, sighed, and finally said the origin of the watch.

"Forget it, we are all honest people, and we don't hide it, I picked up this watch."

"Picked up?" Cai Xiujuan doesn't believe it, can such a good watch be picked up?

"I'm not talking nonsense." Kong Liu's mouth was dry, and he was prone to anger when he was in a hurry, and his words were like machine guns, "I picked it up in the garbage heap outside the guest house, I'm not afraid of your jokes, we often go to find something to eat, these people who live in the guest house are wasteful, don't throw away a lot of good things, it's not cheap for us!" I was lucky enough to pick up this watch. Let's talk about it first, let's not steal or rob, and don't do those indiscriminate things! ”

The more he listened, the more mysterious it became, and Jian Lu asked him, "This is a foreign watch, can you pick it up in the guest house here?" ”

"No, I'm telling the truth!" Seeing that neither of them believed each other, Kong Liu, anxious to prove himself, took out a booklet and a pen from his trouser pocket, "Look, this is wrapped in that watch, it must have been accidentally taken." I can't read or write, and I didn't want to take the watch myself, but if I returned it, the owner of the watch would definitely give me some thanks, but the people at the guest house said that it was a foreigner, and they wouldn't come again! I can't do it, so I can only sell it. ”

Jian Lu looked at the booklet on it, and immediately turned her head to look at Cai Xiujuan, both of them found that they also had a copy of this booklet, which was a brochure for the upcoming National Commodity Fair in early July, and the title page was still an invitation letter, with the names of the participants written, Cai Xiujuan did not know English, Jian Lu knew, Sam and Mary.

Look at this, eight times out of ten. Nine is a foreigner who came to inspect the investment, accidentally lost the invitation letter and the watch, so think about it, this watch will be useful.

"Okay, I want this watch." Jian Lu thought clearly, took out a hundred yuan from her pocket and gave it to Kong Liu, "I may be able to meet the owner of the watch, and return it to her when the time comes, this money should be regarded as a thank you for picking up the watch for her." ”

Happiness came too suddenly, Kong Liu was stunned, a hundred yuan? Ten big solidarity?!

"So much?"

"Take it, but give me this booklet and pen, and I'll pay it back then."

"Cheng Cheng Cheng, you take it!"

Jian Lu handed over the money, took the watch and wrapped it in a handkerchief and put it in the bag, and then looked at this person, who was born to sell materials, asked for the person's name, and learned that his home was nearby, so he went to the train station.

"Lulu, did you spend a hundred on a watch?" Cai Xiujuan was puzzled.

"Take it to Z City, maybe it will be useful to us." Jian Lu told her about the development direction in the next few years, "Now that we have reformed and opened up, there will be a lot of foreign capital injection in the future, and if we can sign foreign orders, the business line will be even better." ”

Cai Xiujuan is completely confused, and she wants to do business with foreigners?

Jian Lu knew that Cai Xiujuan's pearl industry in her previous life was one of the best in China, but she had never opened the foreign market.

"Yes, we have to have both domestic and foreign business blossoms." However, everything has to wait for Cai Xiujuan to open a private farm, and now it is all public, and it is very inconvenient to do things.

The two got on the green train, slept all night listening to the clanging sounds, and arrived in Z City on the afternoon of the third day.

Z City is located in the central and eastern part of China, economic development is in the forefront, the street is lined with high-rise buildings, and the pedestrians' clothes have faded nearly half of the blue, gray and black, and move towards bright and fashionable color styles.

Cheng Zheng's comrade-in-arms He Feng was at the gate of the railway station, wearing an olive-green military uniform, very eye-catching, and next to him was his daughter-in-law.

"It's brother and sister, right?"

"Brother He, sister-in-law, I'm Jian Lu." Jian Lu greeted the people and introduced Cai Xiujuan to them.

He Feng was the deputy head of a nearby garrison, half a year older than Cheng Zheng, and the two met at the military academy.

"It's a pity that Cheng didn't come with him this time, and I'm counting on a couple of drinks with him."

Jian Lu heard Cheng Zheng say that this person was a good drinker, "He can't leave, you will definitely have a chance to drink it later." ”

He Feng was familiar with this area, and the day before yesterday he received a call from Cheng Zheng and inquired about the address of the exhibition, so he helped book a room in advance at the nearest guest house nearby.

"There will definitely be no room at this time, and you two lesbians will live in one room."

Jian Lu and Cai Xiujuan showed their household registration certificates, letters of introduction, and invitations to the exhibition, and then checked in. Jian Lu let go of Li, and spent money to call at the front desk of the guest house as soon as possible, reported his safety to his family, and asked Cheng Zheng to write down the phone number here by the way.

After finishing her own business, Jian Lu looked at the two of them, "Brother He, sister-in-law, thank you, otherwise we have to stay farther away." ”

He Feng didn't care at all, and led the two to eat at a state-run restaurant, and when he paid for the food stamps and money, he said that he didn't ask Jian Lu to pay.

"Jian Lu, don't fight with him, how can there be any reason to make you pay." He Feng's daughter-in-law hurriedly pushed Jian Lu's hand away.

Only then did He Feng steadily hand the money and ticket to the waiter, and then looked back at Jian Lu, "If you pay today, I will be embarrassed to see Lao Cheng next time." ”

Jian Lu withdrew her hand and didn't force it anymore.

At the dinner table, He Feng and his family briefed them on the situation in Z City, from where there are many supply and marketing cooperatives and department stores, which street has the most people, and where the factories are.

"You can walk around here when you have time, it's still very different from your island."

"Okay, we're going to have to take a look." Jian Lu also brought a camera.

After eating, He Feng and his family sent the two of them back to the guest house, and only then did they leave; before leaving, they specially gave the address of the troops they were stationed in, and they could come to find them if they had any urgent matters.

Cai Xiujuan didn't worry about it since she got off the train, and only sighed, "It's so good that they are comrades-in-arms." ”

"Yes, it's about the same as a brother."

The two of them walked into the lobby of the guest house and met an old acquaintance on the sofa in the lobby.

Yang Binghua arrived in Z City at about 5 o'clock this afternoon, and only booked a room at a guest house two kilometers away.

As a result, I asked Cai Xiujuan and Jian Lu's registered names, but they never saw them.

"You two just arrived and went out?"

"Yang Gong, long time no see. We went out for dinner. "Jian Lu hasn't seen Yang Binghua for a long time, but now I find that he is much more easy-going, and he used to be quite flat-faced, with the arrogance and old-fashionedness of knowledge and technology." Have you eaten it? ”

"Have you eaten, Comrade Jian Lu, I heard that you were admitted to university? Congratulations. ”

"Thank you, Yang Gong."

Yang Binghua was relieved to learn that the two of them were entrusted by Jian Lu's man, and arranged for his comrades-in-arms to come to help, "It's easy to do things if you have acquaintances, and we live farther away." ”

"I'm also enjoying happiness with Lulu."

After a few pleasantries, the three of them discussed in the lobby of the guest house about the exhibition to be held the day after tomorrow.

"This is the largest commodity fair in the country, and product samples from all walks of life will be sent, so let's say that there are three pearl cultivation companies, by the way, how about the pearls you bring?"

Cai Xiujuan had a small flannel bag in the bag she was carrying, and she thought that it would not be easy for her to make a trip, and that it would be convenient for someone to see the pearls, so she immediately untied the bag and grabbed more than a dozen pearls and spread them in the palm of her hand.

"Yang Gong, this is the best pearl we have raised in recent years, look at it!" Cai Xiujuan was proud when she talked about this, after all, this was all cultivated by herself day by day.

Yang Binghua picked up a pearl from Cai Xiujuan's palm, and saw that this pearl was even more translucent than the last time he saw it, and the texture, color, and luster were all excellent.

"You guys are doing a good job, don't lose to E City."

E city is located in the largest freshwater lake basin in China, with the most unique conditions for cultivating pearls, but now the pearl cultivation technology is still in the initial exploration stage, and Cai Xiujuan is leading in technology because of the help of Jian Lu, the two sides have the most superior conditions, the other side has the most advanced technology, and can barely make a draw.

"Yes, our pearls are beautiful to anyone who sees them!"

Jian Lu asked casually, "Yang Gong, what is the situation of other pearl cultivation at this fair?" ”

Yang Binghua basically walked through the pearl cultivation farms all over the country, and for a time he introduced them endlessly.

In addition to the pearls in City E, there are also pearls in City F, both of which are long-established bases for cultivating pearls.

"Both of these companies supply pearls to the largest pharmaceutical companies in China." Yang Binghua deliberately pulled their pearl field, "When the time comes, you can see if there is a way to negotiate some orders." ”

"Okay, thank you, Yang Gong!" Cai Xiujuan was excited, if this can be discussed, it will definitely not be comparable to the store department in the county.

Jian Lu also agreed, but asked about something else, "Yang Gong, are there a lot of foreigners coming this time?" ”

Yang Binghua didn't know very well, "I heard that there is, but it's not open up now, and some foreigners have come to inspect this year and want to do business with our country." ”

However, Yang Binghua was not interested in this, and only thought that Jian Lu was curious, "Anyway, you prepare well, and you can pick out some orders from those two companies, which is enough for you to eat and drink." ”

After talking for a while, Yang Binghua got up and left, and Jian Lu and Cai Xiujuan also returned to the room. After washing up, the two of them lay down on a single bed and chatted.

"Lulu, if you come out directly at the end of this semester, your daughter will definitely miss you very much."

Cai Xiujuan and Jian Lu are both daughters and have a common topic.

"Then I can't think I can do it, let me hurry back when I'm done!"

"Hello girl, so is my daughter, this time pestering me and not wanting me to go." When Cai Xiujuan spoke, a smile spread all over her eyes.

"The girl is good, the intimate little padded jacket."

After chatting at home, the two talked about the upcoming trade fair.

"Lulu, do you think we can pick some orders out?" Cai Xiujuan thought about it too much.

Jian Lu leaned on the head of the bed to write and draw, and replied casually, "Of course you can, Sister Xiujuan, you have to have confidence." ”

"Yes, the pearls in our field are good."

"Huh?" Jian Lu showed her what she had drawn in her notebook.

Cai Xiujuan took it and saw that there was a round circle on the top and a small dot on the lower left, "What is this?" ”

"The brand image of our pearls." Jian Lu explained to her, "In the future, the economy will become faster and faster, and we will have to pay attention to these brand images, such as logos, slogans, and advertisements in newspapers and television." ”

Cai Xiujuan was thrilled by Jian Lu's words, and she was devoted to studying technology, and she didn't think about these at all, "Really? ”

"Yes." Jian Lu mentioned to her about private contracting by the way, and when the policy is loosened next year or the year after, you can try to do pearl farming in private contracting ponds.

"Private?" Cai Xiujuan has been used to working in the commune in recent years, and she is not very adaptable.

"That's right, you have to come to this point, and you can still start your own company in the future, become bigger and stronger, and then you have the final say."

Cai Xiujuan didn't feel anything when she heard the first few words, but when she heard the last sentence, she suddenly felt a little moved.

"I've got the final say?" Cai Xiujuan looked at Jian Lu with anticipation.

"That's right."

"Lulu, when you talk about this, I just remembered that there is something I have never mentioned to you."

"What's wrong?" Jian Lu turned sideways and looked at Cai Xiujuan on the opposite bed.
