Chapter 499 A Tricky Gift
Wang Yuanchao goes out early and comes back late every day, and is picked up and dropped off by car. It is difficult for him to go home early.
The Hong Kong delegation has a short schedule and its itinerary is packed.
Even if the delegation went to climb the Great Wall, would he have the nerve to leave the team early?
Oftentimes, climbing the Great Wall is the best time to chat. After climbing for a while, people naturally gather in groups of three or four.
Wang Yuanchao and Uncle Huo are both sports enthusiasts with good physical strength and are in the first echelon.
They are the only two in the first echelon.
Of course, there are also comrades from the mainland.
"Don't you want to learn from the charter king?" Uncle Huo asked without taking a breath.
The charter king donated 1000 million US dollars to build a hotel in the name of his father, which will be built and managed by the mainland and the ownership will also belong to the mainland.
But no one in the mainland dared to accept such good conditions.
Previously, Wang Yuanchao also said that he wanted to donate one thousand cars, but was rejected by his leaders. However, in the following days, Wang Yuanchao expressed his willingness to invest and learn from Uncle Huo.
Investing and donating are different.
The nature, meaning, and relevance are all different.
The degree of investment bundling should be deeper.
Wang Yuanchao said:
"It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. We need to bring in advanced concepts and management. Just like what our leader said, how can the mainland, such a big country, lack these little things from us?
They definitely hope that we can make horse bones worth a thousand gold coins and attract more investment!
The mainland needs more investment! "
Wang Yuanchao did not avoid the mainland staff next to him. Uncle Huo did not avoid him, so he had nothing to avoid.
He believed that these words would definitely reach the leadership.
Look, the accompanying personnel from the mainland just followed the climb silently without saying a word.
Uncle Huo nodded and said:
"I'm going to Guangzhou to build a hotel there in a joint venture with the mainland government. You can come and see how the cooperation works."
Wang Yuanchao said:
“I plan to build a driving school in the capital to train some driving talents.
Ultimately, it all depends on talent cultivation, and all kinds of talents.
Since donations are not appropriate, then if I start a company, it is also a joint venture, right?
Whether it is Guangzhou or the capital, one is a window to the outside world, our eyes, and the other is the heart, both are very representative.
Uncle Huo, you go ahead and I will follow you to learn from you."
The accompanying comrade next to him moved his ears, obviously he had heard what was said, and he would definitely report it separately later.
For a Sino-foreign joint venture, whether it is a driving school, a taxi company, or a hotel, it must be carefully discussed and an appropriate plan must be put forward.
We must demonstrate our determination to reform, but we must not take steps that are too big. We must ensure that we can overcome resistance, break the shackles of thought, and be able to carry it out.
Inviting this patriotic Hong Kong delegation here is to break the ice and test the waters.
If you don't do well, people will just pat their butts and go back. Then the difficulty of inviting others will increase dozens or hundreds of times!
If it is done well and there is a precedent, it will be much easier to expand it step by step.
Uncle Huo smiled and said:
“I knew we were on the same path.
I also want to organize a football exchange match with Guangzhou. Is it appropriate for you, the Hong Kong Football Association, to come forward? If you are not suitable, I will let the club under me come forward. Just give me convenience and don't punish me. "
Wang Yuanchao laughed and said:
"I punish your club? You are reminding me of this.
You can go ahead with the club first, I'll give you the green light.
If you lose, I will issue a fine to your club or something, bringing disgrace to Hong Kong football, and I’ll show it to the British.
My football association needs to make its presence felt among the British and lurk around."
Uncle Huo sighed:
"You, you're even going to use me as a prop."
Wang Yuanchao said:
"I believe it won't take too long. As long as we all work together, the Oriental Dragon will soar into the sky!"
Uncle Huo said:
"Yes, I have always held this belief. For this belief, I am still willing to be your prop background, hahahaha."
……
Their conversation was reported to the leadership on the same day.
The leader told the people around him:
"We have to make some changes now. Mr Huo has always supported us and we cannot let him down.
Mr. Bao also supports us, and his intentions are sincere, but it is not appropriate for him to get too deeply involved with us for the time being.
Comrade Aid Korea, who is even more popular than Mr. Bao, is young, has a more thorough understanding of our strategy, and is willing to support us.
However, he has a huge business in Hong Kong, and he also needs to pay attention to the influence of the British. He will play some tricks with Mr. Huo. He needs to take care of the comrades in Hong Kong, understand this core, and avoid misunderstanding his comrades.
In addition, we must also take good care of the relatives of our comrades who are assisting North Korea, so that they don’t have to worry.”
Among so many big businessmen, only Wang Yuanchao's parents and relatives are here, even right under the feet of the emperor, so they must be taken care of.
……
After the delegation finished the exchange, everyone flew to Guangzhou, then took the train to Shenzhen, passed the customs, and returned to Hong Kong.
Uncle Huo is going to participate in the National Day celebrations. His identity has always been the same, and the Hong Kong authorities are aware of it, so they are suppressing him in many ways.
Wang Yuanchao didn't dare to show up for the time being. When he finally had some time, he went home to visit his neighbors.
First of all, my father Wang Quan is about to retire in four years. In the past two days, he was promoted to deputy director of the ceramic factory. He truly felt how easy it is to be an official when you have someone in the court.
There is a huge difference between a deputy factory director and a technician!
Hey, he’s about to retire and his career is entering a rising period, really... He didn’t even dare to tell his wife Miao Cui, for fear that she would worry.
So when he saw his third son coming back from work these days and his wife starting to get upset and worry about him, he had to take the initiative to say a few more words on behalf of the third son.
"Isn't this what you said, to give some gifts to the neighbors?"
Miao Cui suppressed her voice and said:
"I asked him to give some gifts as a token of appreciation. Look at him. He gave each family a radio and a watch!
Why not just buy another sewing machine and a bicycle, and make up a whole family, and help every household find a wife!
That's not how you get rich! Don't you understand that a little bit of rice is a debt of gratitude, and a big bit of rice is a debt of resentment? "
Wang Quan glanced at the third brother and said, "Damn it! You are so generous, but you didn't discuss it with your father in advance. The car has brought all the things here, and it is impossible to return them. It's not easy for me, the deputy director, to get it!"
"We think it's valuable, but to the third brother, it's just a small gadget, right?
He said before that he would donate a big restaurant! Compared with a big restaurant, these are just small things, right?
He doesn't have such a huge fortune, so why would the higher-ups value him so much, right?"
At this point, Wang Quan had already grabbed his wife's hand, stroking it while saying:
"Cui, don't be angry. We have brought all the things here, and we can't take them away again."
Mother's chest was heaving with anger, and with the help of father, she calmed down a little and said:
"You kid just..."
The mother grimaced, but finally said nothing, for fear that her words would come across as bad luck.
In the evening, all the neighbors in the courtyard came back, and the Wang family began to visit each of them and give them gifts.
The happiness of the entire courtyard suddenly exploded and became overwhelming.
This is a big deal, a watch and a radio, plus banknotes and receipts, totaling 200 yuan!
It’s not like every family has a high salary of 80 or 90 yuan.
First, it was the Yan family next door. Everyone could listen to the radio and had watches. The three sons were very greedy for them.
But the third uncle finally gave it to the eldest brother Yan Jiecheng.
I'm almost 40, and I haven't remarried yet. I can't get a high-paying job, and I'm not willing to marry a low-paying job. My salary is still controlled by my parents. This watch is a kind of compensation.
Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang are also greedy. If they had a watch, they would look more glorious when dating.
They followed Wang Li as soldiers on the Red Team and made a lot of money, but after so many years, they went to the countryside for a while and spent all their money. Now they are unemployed and have nothing to do. They are in their twenties and it is difficult for them to find a partner.
Only my younger sister, Yan Jiedi, a girl, did not go to the countryside, and now she is married. Getting married is always easier.
It is difficult for the second and third sons of the Yan family to escape from this home.
If you escape, you won’t even have food to eat!
Originally, they thought that if Wang Yuanchao really invested in a big restaurant, they would risk their lives to find a job, but now, Wang Yuanchao has given the Yan family such a big gift, and the big restaurant is going to go bankrupt???
The two brothers looked at each other and didn't dare to ask.
How disappointing it is to ask!
It’s better to keep a little fantasy.
Although the third uncle was stingy, he still gave the second and third uncles ten yuan each and said:
"I value fairness the most. You two don't have jobs either, so it's not that your eldest brother wants to take advantage of you.
These years, the family has relied on your eldest brother to earn money, so he deserves this watch.
But I won't let you two suffer any loss. I will give you ten dollars each from my pension, and you can use it for socializing."
What are you talking about? What kind of socializing can ten dollars do?
If you don’t have 400 or 500 yuan to find a job these days, don’t even ask. A good job would probably cost thousands of yuan!
There are too many people without jobs.
They wanted to refuse dignifiedly, but their bodies still accepted it honestly.
It’s ten dollars, it would be a waste not to take it.
The third uncle felt that he had done a good job and his three sons had no objections.
An old man’s house, looking at these gifts, has a headache, because the old man has all these things!
He has a high salary!
The pension is not low. [Although the pension system started in the 90s, before that, each company was responsible for paying pensions to retired employees. If the company goes bankrupt, it will be gone...]
Take it out and sell it? It's not good for face! Isn't that a slap in the face of the Wang family?
Give it away. It’s such a valuable thing that the couple can’t bear to part with!
The old couple was very conflicted. If they were to give someone away, they could only give away their stupid son Sha Zhu, as there was no one else they had such a close relationship with.
But Shazhu’s family also has this gift!
If you send another one, wouldn’t it belong to that woman Qin Huairu?
