"Sister Na, you..." This was Xia Yuhong's first time flying in China, and her first time using the identity of Xiangjiang. She was excited but also a little nervous.
They and Zhu Xuefeng's tickets were not together, and they couldn't see the man. They felt a little unsure, so they thought of asking Lin Na in a low voice if she had seen the man.
As soon as she opened her mouth, Lin Na stopped her with her eyes. Xia Yuhong also warned her immediately. They were both overseas Chinese now. She quickly looked around. Fortunately, the plane was accelerating and preparing to take off. The huge roar covered her Asking questions did not attract any questions from others.
According to the man's prompts, the two of them had changed into clothes that were more in line with the temperament of overseas Chinese. There was no place to style their hair, so it was the man who suggested that they tie their hair.
I found two women's top hats from the warehouse in the courtyard, paired them with toad mirrors, and sprayed them with perfume. It looked like that, two elegant young women exuding charming aura.
Xia Yuhong looked around at the neatly dressed passengers with serious expressions, stuck out her tongue, and could only imitate Lin Na and take a nap. The passenger plane flying to Yangcheng was an IL-14M narrow-body passenger aircraft commonly used on domestic routes. There are only about thirty seats in the entire cabin. Even so, they are not full, and there are no people around the two of them.
The two of them pretended to be asleep in a nervous mood, but fortunately they arrived in Yangcheng safely. After leaving the airport, Xia Yuhong subconsciously wanted to find the man.
"Stop looking, don't forget what he reminded me, let's go." Xia Yuhong was unwilling to be led by Lin Na. At the exit, she saw the villa driver who took the opportunity.
"Madams, please follow me." The driver said very little and quickly led the two of them into a luxury Silver Cloud car.
April in Yangcheng is very different from that in Beijing. The two took off their coats and looked at the busy traffic outside the window in the back seat. Because there was the Canton Fair soon, or maybe it was because on Sunday, the city’s floating population The road was not easy to walk due to the sudden increase. Looking at the bustling crowd outside, Xia Yuhong was a little anxious.
"Sister Na, did that damn guy get in the car? I can't see him." Lin Na took her into the car in a hurry, but she didn't even see the man leave the airport.
"You, you are really worrying. He is running around alone. Nothing can trouble him. I guess he will change his clothes first and then come out. So we stupidly just got in the car. Change your clothes, it’s really hot here.”
The temperature in Yangcheng at this time was about 28 or 9 degrees, which was actually quite comfortable. However, the two of them had just come out of Beijing where the temperature was 12 or 13 degrees Celsius, so they still wore a lot of clothes. Yes, the temperature on the plane is not as high as taking a train and walking all the way. As soon as I landed, I felt the enthusiasm of the South.
Having said that, the two of them still searched on the road in unison, "Master Chen, what kind of car is the master in?"
"Madam, I don't know this either, they are all Wu My wife arranged it herself. I didn’t see our company’s driver in the parking lot.”
“What kind of trick is this?” Xia Yuhong muttered, wondering why the man arranged it like this?
"Why are you worried about him? Didn't he agree to go his own way before departure? Don't worry about him." Seeing that Xia Yuhong was restless, Lin Na comforted her in a low voice. The two of them were trembling all the way on the plane. Jing, this trip is indeed a bit exciting.
After leaving the city, the flow of people on the road seemed to disappear out of thin air. The driver speeded up. Yinyun's comfort level was very good. They got up early and bumped for several hours before they fell asleep cuddled up.
"Two madams, we are about to leave the customs. Please prepare your documents." The reminder from the driver Master Chen made the two of them wake up. They left the customs smoothly and rushed all the way to Repulse Bay without stopping. to nine o'clock.
"It's still so fast. If you take the train, it would take four days at the fastest." Xia Yuhong was very excited as she watched the big iron door of the villa slowly open.
"Yes, otherwise it would take at least eight days to go back and forth. It would be too time-consuming. He couldn't help but find an airline. That's why."
At the door of the villa, Wu Qianqian heard the noise and had already brought people at the door. To greet them, the butler stepped forward to open the car door, and the two of them filed out.
"Two sisters, I'm so happy. I didn't expect you to take the time to come over. After not seeing each other for a few months, the two sisters have become beautiful again. It's really jealous."
Wu Qianqian smiled. She was really happy when she came up to say hello. She was very busy these days. In a few days, she would have to take time to go to the Canton Fair to collect tea leaves for her husband. She had to do this kind of thing by herself. This was her insistence. Her husband gave her a lot. , but he doesn’t seem to have any material desires, but he seems to have a special liking for domestic good tea, so no matter how busy Wu Qianqian is, she must buy all kinds of good tea with her own hands.
"Look at your sweet mouth, no matter how beautiful you are, I can't keep up with you. You have worked hard these days, Qianqian, the master hasn't arrived yet."
"No, the person who picked him up is a man. It's an ordinary car, it has to be slower, that's what he asked for." Worried about the two misunderstandings, Wu Qianqian quickly explained, but it was Lin Na who held Wu Qianqian's hand.
"Don't be so outspoken. We are all sisters. We know that we came in a hurry this time and didn't bring you any gifts, so don't mind."
"Sister, you are joking. I'm very happy that the two sisters can come. Dinner is almost ready. You didn't eat it on the plane. How about the two sisters go and wash up first, and we'll start dinner when the master arrives."
"How dare we eat? We pretended to be asleep all the way, and the waiter looked at us back and forth many times, which scared us to death," Xia Yuhong interrupted.
“No, once we open our mouths, our secrets will definitely be exposed. How can anyone from Xiangjiang speak with a pure Beijing accent?”
Wu Qianqian seemed to want to say something, but in the end she just smiled and walked up the steps. Xia Yuhong suddenly had an epiphany.
"Sister Na, if we talk to the flight attendant in English, won't we lose our accent?"
Wu Qianqian nodded slightly, she thought so too, but to her surprise, Lin Na shook her head with a smile.
“There are a few people who can speak English who are working as flight attendants on domestic flights. Overthinking it, we should take the time to learn Cantonese with Qianqian. We don’t need to learn it, just learn Mandarin with a Cantonese accent. ”
I imitated two sentences while saying this. This is because I have been in contact here a lot during the Spring Festival and I learned a few sentences.
Lin Na’s tone made the three of them laugh together. They sat down together in the living room on the first floor. They were not in a hurry to wash up and started chatting affectionately. After a while, Lin Na looked around and asked doubtfully. .
"Those three girls, you didn't tell them that the master was coming."
"Oh, they are all in the kitchen. I said I was afraid that you wouldn't be used to it, so you had to do it yourself. Order the northern flavor, it should be ready now."
"I remember there was a cook who knew northern cuisine last time?" Lin Na was untiing her hair, putting it back into a ponytail, and helping Xia Yuhong do the same. Turning around, Zhu Xuefeng's car was probably about to arrive. The two of them were about to wash up, so they turned around and asked.
"The three girls didn't let him do anything and only asked him to help. The cook was not happy yet. You don't know, Da Ya said that the master will eat what they cook. I don't dare to stop him."
Just as he was talking, there was a sound of cars outside the hospital, and Wu Qianqian stood up quickly. "It should be that the master is here, two sisters..."
Looking at Wu Qianqian's questioning eyes, "You go pick it up, and we will go wash up first."
"Yes, still The three of them picked it up together, he has such a big face." Xia Yuhong muttered and went to wash up, but she couldn't help but look back.
"I just left for a while and I can't bear to leave him. Why don't you pick him up too."
"No, let's go and wash up first." Xia Yuhong seemed a little embarrassed after being exposed. , lowered his head and pushed Lin Na's waist, the two of them entered the bathroom. There was a scream and a few chuckles.
Zhu Xuefeng got into the car after arriving at the airport. It was an ordinary Ford car. He bought the ticket with a small book, so he couldn't go with the two of them because he had used a small book to take this route several times. , so I paid more attention.
His arrival seemed to bring the villa to life. The villa was brightly lit, seeming to welcome the owner back.
“This is what we learned from Uncle Zhang, please give it a try.” After washing up, the dining table was already full, and Erya happily introduced it.
"Well, not bad, I'm appetizing just by looking at it. It seems that you have learned 80% or 90% of Uncle Zhang's craftsmanship. You will be in good hands when you come here in the future."
"Please use it slowly, Master." , let’s go down first.” Zhu Xuefeng stopped the three laughing girls and pointed to the dining table. "Let's eat together and go for a run."
"Master, we can't do it today, who is waiting for you hungry? We have already eaten, so my wife has been refusing to eat and insists on waiting for you, haha."
Erya After coming here, she became much livelier. It seemed that without Master Jin's control, the girl's nature was much liberated.
"Then you go and rest, I have to try your craftsmanship."
Looking at the three girls running away happily, "Let's start, you two are on the plane If you haven’t eaten, you must be starving.”
“Have you eaten? Are you looking at us?” Xia Yuhong asked unwillingly.
"Of course, I don't want to go hungry. I'm just a few rows behind you. I see you two sleeping all the time. Stop watching and let's start. I didn't expect that I can eat authentic Jinhai here. "Flavor, these three girls really put their heart and soul into it."
In the study room on the third floor, several people were gathering together, listening to Wu Qianqian's reports one by one. Everything went smoothly and the project was progressing well.
“The construction of the two docks can start in May. The projects at Taikoo and Whampoa piers should be completed before the year. The ones in Tsuen Wan may have to be delayed until the first half of next year. As well as the equipment and machinery you want, Some can be purchased, and some can only be produced by our own factories."
"Well, I have brought the drawings of the loading and unloading equipment. You can make the arrangements yourself. If you can do it yourself, do it yourself. ”
We designed some equipment and machinery for the dock, which are commonplace in later generations, and we have no intention of keeping them secret. People can guess the working principle of these things at a glance, and they can be copied after taking them apart. There is no point in keeping them secret.
"How are the three girls now?" Zhu Xuefeng asked casually after learning about the progress of the company here.
“Dong Ting is very savvy. Now I am taking care of her in person. She gets started quickly and works very hard. She has to study every day. Qian Yun and Qian Yu are making clothes in a small shop during the day, and sometimes they follow her. Lao Li went to a garment factory to learn management, and he was very interested in it. I thought about letting them stop what they were doing, but they seemed a little reluctant to let it go. They said it was a pity to lose the reputation they had worked so hard to achieve. "
Zhu Xuefeng just smiled. Many of his clothes were made by these two little girls. Seeing him happy, the two little girls must have found a sense of presence and were reluctant to throw them away. They had to find time to persuade them that craftsmanship was not necessary. Lost, but the main focus has to be transferred. Zhu Xuefeng has two tailors. Both girls are quite smart. They should learn things quickly and can play a greater role.
“Oh, it’s Miss Li and her classmates who are here to help with tutoring.”
“Well, Miss Li and the others are studying on the island. It’s more convenient to come here than to go to the small building. Let’s We arrange a car to pick them up every day, and now the three of them compete every night, and they are making rapid progress."
I am very satisfied with the condition of the three girls, "No one is harassing you now."
< br>"Thank you, Master, for remembering me. It's gone now. Zheng Dayong went to the ink pad according to Master's instructions last month. The information has been sent back. Zheng Xun has made arrangements and thinks highly of him."
"That's good. Without Dayong, these three girls are also pretty good. If something happens, they can help."
Wu Qianqian actually has a dedicated security team now, including the driver. It's just that one-wheeled skills are not necessarily very strong, but the emergency response ability is pretty good.
Seeing that the man seemed to be in a good mood, Wu Qianqian complained softly.
“There are just too many cocktail parties and entertainment events. Most of them are in Chinese business circles, and there are also many in foreign banks and the Hong Kong Governor’s Office. I have been there several times, and I have also been to two Chinese business circles. Every time, I always hear people murmuring that they worship foreigners and only attend the receptions of foreigners but ignore the compatriots. It’s quite a headache. I really don’t have so much energy.” The two shipyards and China Eastern Airlines were suddenly exposed to the eyes of Chinese businessmen. Only then did everyone realize that a huge monster had unknowingly emerged in Xiangjiang. Wu Qianqian, who had been constantly socializing with China Eastern Airlines, was now blinded and overwhelming. I received an invitation letter, but I was afraid of leaving a bad reputation if I didn’t go.
Zhu Xuefeng knew that with the current size of Dongsheng Company, it would definitely surpass Taikoo & Co., Ltd. this year, far behind the Chinese businessmen who were still struggling to accumulate capital, and it was inevitable that they would come to their door.
"Don't worry about those gossips. From now on, all kinds of entertainment can be attended by the heads of various industries. Unless it is absolutely necessary, you don't have to come forward. The foreign companies can just ask Assistant Chen to come forward and get them a few more stylish ones. Titles, such as president, vice president, first vice president, CEO, executive president, chief spokesperson, general manager, regional manager, etc., just bluff people, like Hu Yuhang, just get a director and executive director of Dongsheng Electronics President or something, you can be liberated."
Xia Yuhong held her chin and looked at the man. She always felt that the man had endless ideas in his mind. He could come up with such a weird position. But it sounds really majestic, much more upscale than his father or the director of a vehicle factory.
“I said, you should write it down for Qianqian. I was so confused when I heard it. There will be a lot of bluffing names. Who has the final say in the company? Don’t let the employees be confused. Circle.”
Zhu Xuefeng readily accepted Xia Yuhong’s suggestion.
"It will be done in the next few days, but I still have something to arrange."
"Over in the autonomous region, the stone gambling plan will be launched this summer. You need to recruit a few people who understand Experts in jade, please cooperate here to enhance the atmosphere and let Zheng Xun help with the planning
He's very good at this. This was planned early. After several years of controlled trading, the jade resources on the market are now in short supply. Compared with the year before last, they have more than doubled. The price is already far higher than other types of jade, and to a certain extent. With other jade prices rising.
Now Beibang is preparing to dump some jade, which will put pressure on the market to some extent. It is estimated that by reducing the supply of goods, it may be difficult to increase significantly in the short term. In addition, the autonomous region is currently in need of funds for development and construction. Zhu Xuefeng This also requires selling out part of the supply. Of course, profits must be guaranteed. Only by using stone gambling can profits be maximized and prices can continue to be effectively increased.
"Well, I asked Chen Dong to contact him. Sir, the Yagawa sisters sent news from over there. Our drinks are very popular in Fuso, and several big companies have taken the initiative to contact them, wanting to acquire or invest in them. According to your instructions, the beverage factory has notified them of the situation and asked for help."
"One of them is a local violent group in Kyoto, with a very tough attitude. It is said that the other party has great power and has been in Kyoto for many years. There is collusion in all aspects, and they are worried that they will not be able to deal with it. "
It seems that the Yagawa sisters are really in trouble. The two sisters' business has developed rapidly, but after all, they are a third-rate foreign force, and their background is far inferior to that of the locals. The violent gang was okay at protecting the Yagawa family's property, but it was really unable to help the Shou Beverage Factory, a big moneymaker.
"I'll think about this again. Also, send a telegram to the autonomous region and ask Yanzi and Senior Brother Bai to come over. I guess they will be needed."
After thinking about it, " Let Sister Yagawa quickly find out the situation and report it. The situation is unclear and it is inappropriate to rush over."
Everything has been talked about. Looking at the time, it is already midnight. Xia Yuhong and Lin Na. After running around for a day, although he looks fine, he must be tired. Although he has taken pills, in the final analysis, he is still an ordinary person who lacks exercise.
"It's getting late, you all go and have a rest. You can discuss the time tomorrow and find an auspicious day and we can register."
"Master." Wu Qianqian covered her mouth in surprise, as if I can’t believe it. You must know that the current marriage system in Xiangjiang is very chaotic.
Because according to the "Proclamation of Yilu", Xiangjiang is actually governed by two sets of laws. The white people apply their local laws, and the Chinese apply mainland customary laws.
Moreover, marriages were not registered at that time. Just hold a wedding and have a witness. It was not until 1960 that registration of marriages began, but more people chose traditional marriage ceremonies, which also had legal requirements. Potency.
Zhu Xuefeng's status was special. Wu Qianqian thought that it was impossible to hold a traditional wedding banquet and register it. Unexpectedly, the man actually made this decision.
"Master, you have a special status. It's better not to show up for this kind of thing. You know, how many people in Xiangjiang want to meet the boss behind Dongsheng Company. If we show up like this, we will become the focus of everyone's attention. We can't Let's go in and register. Before we come out, there will be reporters outside, and then the newspapers in Hong Kong will dig up your identity and story. This will be a big deal."
Wu Qianqian said very vaguely. , you know, as Zhu Xuefeng is the hidden richest man in China, as soon as the news leaks out, it will definitely become the talk of many people after dinner, and he will receive a lot of criticism.
