"Mr. Wang, goodbye."

"Miss Li, thanks to you this time, after returning to Hong Kong, I will hold a thank-you banquet. Please be sure to appreciate your face...

"Miss Li, I will go to Shenzhen early tomorrow morning丨I will go to visit you then..."

At the entrance of the theater, after shaking hands with several Hong Kong merchants and saying goodbye, Li Kaiyuan said to a middle-aged man wearing glasses following behind: "Director Bi, I will go to Shenzhen tomorrow 丨I will leave now first. Please tell Secretary Yang, thank you for the hospitality of the Guangzhou Municipal Party Committee."

"Where are, a patriotic businessman like Miss Li is our VIP. Before Secretary Yang went to Beijing for a meeting, he specifically told me to entertain you all." The man smiled and said, "The current material conditions in Guangzhou cannot be compared with Hong Kong. This New Year's Association was not good enough and simple. Please forgive me."

"Director Bi is so polite. It was very successful tonight. The food was delicious and the singing and dancing program was wonderful, which opened my eyes."

After Li Kaiyuan made some polite words, he shook hands with the man, said goodbye and left. Chen Chong opened the Mercedes-Benz door parked by the road, bowed and asked her to get in the car.

"It's funny again." Li Kaiyuan knocked him with his handbag, bent down and sat into the car.

"Miss, is the matter done?"

"Uncle Hua, I've said it many times. As before, just call me Yuanyuan." Li Kaiyuan gave in to the right, and Fang Chen rushed in and said, "You are watching A Chong and I grow up, Miss. You shouted awkwardly, and I feel uncomfortable listening."

"Haha, you are different now." Uncle Hua touched his head honestly and said, "Your Aunt Zheng said that you give so much salary every month and help Xiaomei hire a doctor. I have no ability..."

"Aunt Zheng is a neighbor of everyone for more than ten years. I'm rich, so of course I have to help you if you have something to do." Li Kaiyuan cut off his words and said, "Uncle Hua, you have helped me so much, it's worth getting a salary. Don't mention this matter in the future. Drive and go to the Oriental Hotel."

"That's right, Uncle Hua, you are famous for being honest and upright. Yuanyuan ran alone in the mainland, and her parents would be relieved if you followed her." Chen Chong said, "

By the way, how is Xiaomei now?"

"It's great, it's great." Uncle Hua started the car and replied: "The doctor said the operation was very successful and he would not get sick again in the future."

"That's good. After she is discharged from the hospital, I will find her a relaxing job." Li Kaiyuan said: "Stop going to the electronics factory anymore. The environment there is not good and it is not suitable for Xiaomei."

"Thank you, thank you Miss."

Chen Chong laughed at me. He and Li Kaiyuan's family were small families, with a small population, and they had a shortage of business and lacked staff. They could only ask neighbors who were familiar with each other to help. They were able to achieve success. Media reports said that every household in the building he lived in had a significant increase in income in 1979, which is naturally not surprising.

Uncle Hua is a neighbor who lives in the same building. He smuggled to Hong Kong in the early 1970s and made a living by helping people drive trucks. He is usually taciturn and honest. After Li Kaiyuan started a factory in Shenzhen, he asked him to help drive, while his wife works as a foreman in a toy factory with a monthly income of over 10,000 yuan, which is considered a high-income family in Hong Kong.

Before Ho Ying-Tong's White Swan Hotel was completed and opened, Oriental Hotel was the highest-end hotel in Guangzhou, located at No. 0 Liuhua Road. It opened in 19Ul. It was originally named Yangcheng Hotel. It was changed to its current name in 19UU. It is the first state-owned five-star hotel in the mainland. The building is in an inverted "concave" shape. It is composed of three sections in the north, south and middle. There is a garden view of nearly 10,000 square meters between the east and west floors. It has received politicians such as Zhou Enlai, Deng Xiaoping, Mrs. Thatcher, Lee Kuan Yew, Liu Haisu, and Guo Moruo.

After Chen Chong and Li Kaiyuan came to Guangzhou from Beijing, they lived here.

"I always thought that I was a natural winner in life, and I was a big star wherever I went." After returning to the hotel, Chen Chong took off his coat and said with a lonely look on his face: "I only realized tonight that you are a big star, and I am just a vase."

"What?" Li Kaiyuan took off the golden hairpin that fixed his hair, sprinkled a piece of beautiful hair, and said, "I'm jealous."

"Not only jealous, I'm also jealous." Chen Chong patted the Zhongshan suit in his hand and said, "What a great dress, no one asked where to make it. One night, they all circled around you."

"Look at your virtue, I wish everyone in the world knew the origin of your clothes." Li Kaiyuan looked at him squintly and said, "I have been in Guangzhou for a long time than you. I have only met the provincial party secretary once. You can see him almost every time you come, and I am not jealous. Tonight, so many people add up, is there any provincial party secretary worthy of it?

"In terms of power, it is indeed inferior, but in terms of money, the provincial party secretary is not as good as it is." Chen Chong threw his clothes on the sofa and said, "I am a businessman and value money the most. As a result, everyone cursed you tonight and tried to toast you, but basically no one paid attention to me."

"Who asked you to hold a piece of gauze?" Li Kaiyuan smiled with his lips and said, "Gauze, are you stupid? No matter how good the clothes are, you will become a gangster in your body. If I were me, I wouldn't pay attention to you."

"They probably thought I was your bodyguard or something." Chen Chong himself also found it funny. He touched the gauze and said, "I didn't expect that your title as the executive director of the Guangdong-Hong Kong Business Association is much more useful than that of the CPPCC members."

"Guangdong people want political achievements, Hong Kong people want to make money." Li Kaiyuan sat beside the bed, took off his shoes, and said, "On one hand, he didn't know how to do business, and on the other hand, I knew people on both sides, communicated in the center, and everyone benefited each other, so naturally they became popular."

"It's true." Chen Chong picked up the thermos and started making tea, saying, "After all, you are a native Hong Konger. Those businessmen don't believe in the mainland government, but they believe in you. If you are a director for a few more years, you may be more popular than the general manager of China Resources."

"I'm not interested in socializing everywhere." Li Kaiyuan rubbed his toes and said, "You think I want to do this director. I have any way to do it. I have to drive the duck to the shelves. Oh, by the way, I see you got together with Zhang Xiancheng at the soccer meeting, and they had a good chat. His poker face that has not changed for thousands of years actually smiled. What are you talking about?"

"Talking about some past events." Chen Chong picked up a cup of tea, put it beside her, and showed off: "Do you know? Chiang Kai-shek likes eating Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs very much. After going to Taiwan, he has been obsessed with it. In the autumn of 1974, when he was seriously ill, Chiang Ching-kuo specially sent someone to Hong Kong to buy a batch of Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs with China Resources and flew back to Taiwan by air. But at the airport, someone stopped him because Chiang Kai-shek once ordered that the mainland's fresh food was strictly prohibited from entering Taiwan. Even a mainland fly had to be slapped to death before entering Taiwan. Chiang Ching-kuo had no choice but to let all the crabs be cooked at the airport and then gave them to Chiang Kai-shek for food.

"What a big deal," Lee Kaiyuan rolled his eyes and said, "Who doesn't know about this in Hong Kong? All the media were reporting that time, and almost counted how many crab legs. Did you talk to Zhang Xiancheng for a night?"

"Ah?" This incident was reported widely. Chen Chong was shocked and quickly lie, saying, "This incident is more interesting by China Resources' own people than what was said in the newspaper back then, and I discovered a business opportunity."

“What business opportunity?”

"According to Zhang Xiancheng, China Resources has been doing business with Taiwan for decades, but it mainly sells. The goods are mainly Chinese medicinal materials, and the scale of trade is not large." Chen Chong said slowly: "On New Year's Day last year, the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress issued an announcement saying that the mainland and Taiwan should have exchanges, develop trade, and conduct economic exchanges. After the announcement was released, China Resources began to purchase Taiwanese goods in batches, and then zero in Hong Kong in Hong Kong.

"So what?" Li Kaiyuan said in confusion: "There are not ten thousand stores selling Taiwanese goods in Hong Kong, and there are eight thousand stores, and there are not a shortage of China Resources."

"You, you really have long hair and short knowledge." Chen Chong despised and said: "China Resources is not a store, it is a government agency, the second Ministry of Foreign Trade. Their purchase of Taiwanese goods is a political signal, which means that the mainland market is open to Taiwan, and Chiang Kai-shek's attempt at crabs means that Taiwan has always had demand for mainland goods. You see, Taiwan has daily industrial products that the mainland is in urgent need of, and the mainland has agricultural products and local specialties that Taiwan desires, but the two places cannot communicate on the surface. This kind of inconvenience is a business opportunity. Taiwan's unsold TVs are sent to the mainland, which are popular goods. Hairy crabs worth a few cents are sent to Taiwan, which are rare for hundreds of yuan.

"You mean, you want to start a trading agency?"

"How could I do this? I was persuading Zhang Xiancheng to do it, and he also moved him, so you smiled when you saw him."

"Ah?" This time it was Li Kaiyuan's turn to scream, and she said, "This is such a big business, why did you give it to him?"

"You have to know that the confrontation between Taiwan and the mainland is still very serious and will not change immediately because of an announcement from the National People's Congress." Chen Chong picked up the teacup, blew, and said: "With my current capital and influence, small-scale fights are OK, but large-scale play can't be done. I never do business that is not big. China Resources has no shortage of capital and influence. He is a professional trade agent. Only when they do it can they grow rapidly, so I bewitched Zhang Xiancheng."

Li Kaiyuan looked at him and waited for the commentary.

"Zhang Xiancheng was a soldier who was transferred to China Resources. After joining China Resources, he has never been able to show off his performance. Zhang Guangdou was pressed by him, and the people below were not convinced. The position was quite awkward." Chen Chong took a sip of tea before continuing: "He has an extraordinary background and has a close relationship with Ningning's grandfather. If he can do this well, the economic interests will not be mentioned. The political interests alone can make him go further. Becoming the CEO of China Resources. He is the boss, which will benefit you and me."

"He is 60 years old, right?" Li Kaiyuan retorted: "I'm about the same age as Zhang Guangdou, the current general manager of China Resources. Even if I can go up, I can't do it for a few years."

"Even if you can be the general manager for one year, it's good." Chen Chonggao said in a mysterious way: "Zhang Guangdou is known for his steadiness in China Resources' three Zhangli, but he is too steady. Not only do he waste opportunities by himself, but he also let others waste opportunities. Business opportunities are fleeting, and an adventurous person needs to be a leader to succeed."

Li Kaiyuan was not clear about it and thought that Chen Chong was talking about doing business with Taiwan. She frowned slightly and said, "I have a happy cooperation with Zhang Guangdou. How can you guarantee that Zhang Xiancheng will be more beneficial to us after becoming the general manager? Ningning's grandfather is not familiar with us. Is it just your unreliable suggestion?"

"Words are important in business, but more importantly, interests are more important." Chen Chong smiled like a fox and said, "The key in this business is not the mainland, but in Taiwan, the mainland has opened the market to Taiwan, but Taiwan has never said that Chiang Kai-shek's ban on fresh foods from entering Taiwan has not been cancelled. As long as Zhang Xiancheng gives me benefits, I can go to Taiwan and help him cancel the ban. This is just a rich amount of political capital."
