"Huh?"

"Hma Si?"

"Neihou!"

"Goose Hou Zhongyi!"

"Click?"

Chatting and chatting, Han Chunlei actually showed off his half-baked Cantonese, which caused the two Guangdong tourists to give a thumbs up and call "Monkey Sailei".

When people are in the field, the strongest is always defensive.

Although Han Chunlei would say a few words of daily Cantonese back and forth, this move quickly eliminated the other party's embankment and vigilance, and warmed up with Guangdong tourists.

Zhang Xilu, who was sitting on the edge of the bed soaking his feet, looked puzzled, he knew a little about Han Chunlei's situation, this kid even led the way where the supply and marketing cooperatives of Changhe Commune went, let alone went to Guangdong. Where did he learn Cantonese?

Of course, Han Chunlei wouldn't say that after all those years of working in KTV, he was embarrassed to say that he was a Maiba if he didn't learn a few classic Cantonese songs.

After getting acquainted, Han Chunlei learned that the fat man with his hot head and fashionable bell bottoms was called Luo Jiaxiong, also known as Ah Xiong, and he was a sales officer of a state-owned arts and crafts factory in Shenzhen, Guangdong. The other is his colleague Ah Keung.

A few days ago, the factory sent them to Hangzhou on a business trip at public expense to inspect and study. In the supply and marketing cooperatives in Hangzhou, they saw bamboo handicrafts from the bamboo factory in Shangtang Commune. They found that these local bamboo products are not only exquisitely made, but also have a wide variety of styles, especially the exquisite bamboo carving technology, which is even more staggering, far superior to the existing bamboo carving technology in their factory.

So they became interested in this bamboo factory in Shangtang Commune, and they had the idea of visiting and visiting.

According to Luo Jiaxiong, they have been living in this guest house in Shangtang Commune for two days, let alone visiting, and they can't even enter the gate of the bamboo factory.

"I didn't expect the locals in Shangtang to be so closed to the country," Ah Qiang was a little sleepy, took off his shoes and socks and went to bed, and said angrily, "Our handicraft factory is one of the best factories in Shenzhen, very big, okay? Sleep!"

"Ah Qiang, you can't say that, without a letter of introduction, they don't accept us, don't let us go in for a visit, it's normal!" Ah Xiong carefully took off his bell bottoms and stacked them on the side of the bed, and took out a jar from his briefcase.

"Yo, the red double brand, this is a rare smoke!" Zhang Xilu asked with sharp eyes and some envy, "Made in Shanghai, right??"

Ah Xiong smiled, pulled the slightly curly perm with his hand, and took out a cigarette from the jar to signal to Han Chunlei and Ah Qiang, but Chunlei and Ah Qiang did not smoke and waved their hands.

Ah Xiong flew the cigarette in his hand to Zhang Xilu and said with a smile: "Do you still know about Shanghai?"

"Of course," Zhang Xilu is an old smoker, took the cigarette and sniffed it under his nose, praising it, "This smell is real!

"This is from the old factory, from the Nanyang Brothers Cigarette Factory. I have a friend's uncle who is from Hong Kong, and last time I took his uncle to visit our handicraft factory, he gave it to me when he was leaving. Ah Xiong said.

Han Chunlei doesn't smoke, so he really doesn't know the origin of Hongshuangxi's cigarettes. At the beginning of the 20th century, Jane's brothers opened the Nanyang Brothers Cigarette Factory in Hong Kong, and after the Xinhai Revolution, they returned to Shanghai to open a branch, and then changed to the head factory, and after decades of ups and downs, they opened branches in Wuhan, Tianjin, and Guangzhou to produce red Shuangxi cigarettes, which went through prosperity and exhaustion, and then to the establishment of new China public-private partnership, and then to the reform and opening up, and vigorously developed.

Until the time before Han Chunlei's rebirth, in addition to the Tianjin Cigarette Factory, the Shanghai Cigarette Factory, the Guangzhou Cigarette Factory No. 2, and the Wuhan Cigarette Factory were still producing Hongshuangxi brand cigarettes.

Of course, the Nanyang Brothers Cigarette Factory, the old factory that originated from it, also continues to produce Double Happiness cigarettes in Hong Kong.

Nanyang Brothers Cigarette Company has experienced ups and downs for a century, and its development has gone through twists and turns, which is comparable to the epitome of China's modern national industrial development. Its life and death at every stage are integrated into the chapters of modern Chinese history. It is worth mentioning that Gu ~ Shunzhang, "the most dangerous traitor in the history of the Communist Party of China", also worked as a fitter in the Shanghai cigarette factory of Nanyang Brothers Cigarette Company.

Han Chunlei didn't know these things, so he didn't know the status of the red double from the old Nanyang Brothers cigarette factory in the eyes of the old smokers.

However, he heard it in Ah Xiong's words just now, that is, in Shenzhen now, there are already Hong Kong businessmen in and out of business, maybe not the kind of entry and exit that is above board, but at least this is already a signal of reform and opening up. Because in any era, the businessman's sense of smell is always the most acute.

"Ahem......"

Being swallowed by two old smoking guns in the room, Han Chunlei was smoked a little spicy, and after coughing twice, he asked Wu Jiaxiong, "Brother Xiong, are you leaving tomorrow and returning to Shenzhen?"

Wu Jiaxiong is in his thirties, and Han Chunlei is only seventeen or eighteen years old.

Ah Xiong nodded and said, "Of course, the funds and time for business trips are limited, otherwise it will be difficult for the unit to go back." ”

Han Chunlei sighed and asked, "Do you really want to visit the bamboo factory in Shangtang Commune?"

"Oh, do the Chunlei brothers have a door?" Ah Xiong was a little surprised.

Even Ah Qiang, who was lying on the bed and preparing to sleep, turned sideways and said, "Of course we want to visit and investigate, the key is that we want to visit their bamboo carving masters, these are talents!"

"You don't want to dig people from the Shangtang Bamboo Factory, do you?" asked Han Chunlei.

Ah Qiang glanced at Ah Xiong in a daze, and snorted, but did not speak.

Ah Xiong smiled very easily, shrugged his shoulders and said: "We really want to dig this kind of bamboo carving master, but we are a state-owned handicraft factory, and the personnel are all indexed, and it is difficult to enter our factory." Didn't I just say that the Hong Kong man who gave me cigarettes was my friend's uncle? He wanted to set up a handicraft processing factory in Shekou, Shenzhen, and entrusted me to help keep an eye on the handicraft masters, such as the bamboo carving masters of the Shangtang Factory, who are talents, and as long as they are willing to go to the Shekou factory, the salary will definitely be a lot of money!"

Han Chunlei: "......"

Dare to love this is to help Hong Kong people dig into the corners of socialism. But how can it be so easy to dig these days? Especially if you dig a master from a commune-run factory and go to a privately run factory, even if you dare to make a price, people have to dare to go?

However, this Ah Xiong dares to think and dare to do it, especially when the other party is in Shenzhen, Han Chunlei feels that no matter what, this friend still has to be made.

So he pondered for a moment, and was silent.

However, Zhang Xilu became interested and hurriedly asked, "How much is the salary of a lot of yuan?"

Ah Xiong glanced at him, "What are you capable of? You are also a master?"

Zhang Xilu shook his head, okay, it's humiliating for himself.

Han Chunlei proposed at this time: "Why don't you leave for a day later?" Tomorrow I will invite the accountant of the bamboo factory in Shangtang Commune to dinner, what is the identity of the accountant in the factory, Brother Xiong, do you know?"

Ah Xiong suddenly felt that the willows were dark and bright, and nodded again and again: "Of course I know, it turns out that you still have this relationship with Little Brother Chunlei, disrespectful and disrespectful!"

Han Chunlei said with a smile: "Yes, he is a relative of a good friend of mine, tomorrow I will be the east, invite him to dinner, or Brother Axiong and Brother Qiang together? ”

"Okay, okay, thank you so much Little Brother Chunlei!" Ah Xiong and Ah Qiang nodded repeatedly.

Han Chunlei said: "But Brother Xilu and I have limited funds, so we can only invite everyone to eat as much as you want, and don't dislike the two guests from Guangdong when the time comes." ”

"How can we ask you to come, we have travel funds, we will invite you tomorrow, please have a good meal if you want!" Ah Qiang said strongly.

Ah Xiong was stunned for a moment, and also nodded, "Yes, Ah Qiang is right." We're please!"

"Okay, then I'll be in charge of making an appointment tomorrow!"

After speaking, Han Chunlei put on his shoes and went out to the toilet. In this kind of guest house, there is no toilet in the room, and there is a toilet on the floor.

Zhang Xilu followed closely.

When he arrived at the latrine, Zhang Xilu asked: "Chunlei, you don't need to be so honest, do you? You can become friends after chatting a few words? Why do you still help them make appointments." ”

Han Chunlei lifted his pants and pursed his lips, "Tomorrow I will find Boss Cao's relatives to do something, and I won't have a good meal?"

"Huh?"

Zhang Xilu reacted suddenly, gave a thumbs up and praised fiercely: "My brother is careful and calculated, he will pass, high!"

......

......

Early the next morning, Han Chunlei made a phone call to the Shangtang Commune Bamboo Factory through the phone number of the guest house, and contacted Cao Tianjiao's cousin, Li Heping, the accountant of the bamboo factory.

Accountant Li received a call from his cousin Cao Tianjiao yesterday, and it is estimated that Cao Tianjiao made it clear to him on the phone, so as soon as Han Chunlei made an appointment with him, he agreed to meet.

The time was set for dinner, and the place was recommended by Ah Xiong and the waiter at the guest house. The waiter recommended the best restaurant in Shangtang Commune - Shangtang Commune State-run Trick.

The guest house they live in now is Shangtang Erzhao, whether it is food or accommodation, it is the best and highest grade in Shangtang Commune and even several surrounding communes, after all, Shangtang Commune has developed well in the past two years and has money.

Of course, in order to eat this meal well and entertain Accountant Li, Ah Xiong exchanged food stamps with the waiter at the guest house at a ratio of 1:1.8. In these years, it is not enough to have a meal with RMB.
