"It's still the sauerkraut that we have stored at home."
Liu Yin came out of the kitchen and said to Han Shu with a smile, "Teacher Han, you don't have any dietary restrictions, do you?"
"Aunt, my mother and I both like to eat pickled cabbage, you don't have to be so polite."
Han Shu smiled and coaxed Li Ning, then sat on the sofa in the dining room and replied, "We throw away a lot every year, but we didn't dare to accumulate more this year."
"Put more fat and more oil."
Li Xuewu told Qin Jingru: "Sour cabbage tastes better when it has oil in it."
"You're the only one who knows how to eat!" Liu Yin nodded at him with a smile and asked Han Shu, "Do you like steamed or boiled food?"
"Aunt, if you keep being so polite, I won't dare to eat it, haha——"
Han Shu stood up holding Li Ning and explained to Liu Yin: "If you want to learn martial arts, you can call me teacher, and you must also call me sister-in-law. We are real relatives."
"Haha - yes, then I will call you Han Shu." Liu Yin said with a smile: "Let's make the filling more solid today and steam it to make it more fragrant."
"I'll listen to you. I'll find it delicious no matter how I eat it." Han Shu teased Li Ning and said, "What would it be like if I were still picky about eating dumplings? Haha!"
In fact, Liu Yin and Han Shu had met each other several times. After being introduced by Li Xuewu, they knew each other's identities. It was not the first time that she called her old aunt.
It’s just that there were a lot of people there those times, and everyone was polite to each other and didn’t say much.
Today, Han Shu and his son Dong Mengyuan came to visit alone. Liu Yin was there again, and when she heard her son call him Teacher Han, she became polite.
Speaking of which, Liu Yin's eldest daughter-in-law and eldest son are both university teachers, and they are not surprised or in awe of this profession.
However, Li Xuewu called back in the afternoon to explain, and she found out after asking more questions that this was her son's current teacher at the continuing education school.
Li Xuewu knew nothing about kitchen work. He just gave instructions on the phone to prepare the food. It was still up to his mother and Qin Jingru to decide what to eat.
Qin Jingru knew a little about Han Shu. When Gu Ning gave birth, Jinling's mother came to visit and Han Shu brought the child with him. They ate dumplings at that time, so dumplings were also served this time.
Nothing tastes better than dumplings.
When choosing the filling, Liu Yin took out the only remaining sauerkraut from the refrigerator and chopped it all into filling. The pork belly that Li Xuewu brought back a few days ago was just right for the filling.
"Dumplings! The dumplings smell so good! So good!"
Seeing that the adults were talking happily, Li Shu was not idle either. She squeezed forward and started talking.
"You know it again, right—"
Liu Yin used the flour in her hand to tap her granddaughter's forehead, and teased her with a smile: "You wanted to eat cakes just now, but now you want to eat dumplings. Are you a little greedy?"
"I, I'm not-"
Li Shu pointed at her brother who was held by her aunt and said, "My brother is a greedy cat. He said he wanted to eat cakes and dumplings."
"Brother said that? Why didn't I hear it?" Liu Yin teased her, "Li Shu didn't say she wanted to eat, right? Then if you give dumplings to brother, Li Shu won't eat them."
"I eat too. If my brother eats, I eat too—" Li Shu jumped twice and tried to climb onto the sofa, but her legs were short and she could only jump.
Li Ning, drooling from his mouth, looked at the little sister jumping on the ground in a daze, his big eyes curiously observing everything in the room.
He has reached the drooling stage, and the corners of his mouth are always wet. I have to use a towel to gently wipe them. Children's skin is delicate, so if it is a little too severe or happens too often, the skin will become red, swollen and broken.
It will take at least two months to stop drooling. By that time, the teeth will be growing and the little tongue will be chirping and shouting that it wants to speak.
Gu Ning changed her clothes and came downstairs, taking the child from Han Shu.
"Is it heavy in my hand? I feel tired even holding it."
"Not bad, heavier than Meng Yuan when he was a child."
Han Shu smiled and patted Li Ning's butt, saying, "This fat boy, this little butt!"
"Acridine——!"
Li Ning lay in his mother's arms and shouted loudly, but he kicked his calves to prevent the camera from taking pictures.
Li Xuewu smiled and explained to Han Shu: "You can touch anywhere, but you can't touch our butts and necks. If you do, I'll get angry."
"He is really scared!"
Qin Jingru came out of the kitchen carrying a bowl of stuffing and said with a smile, "I said I was trying to scare him into falling over. His little hands were tightly around your neck and he wasn't scared at all."
"The older he gets, the harder it is to coax him. He won't sleep through the night and wakes up in the middle of the night to make a fuss."
Li Xuewu went to the kitchen to wash his hands. When he came back, he wanted to help make dumplings, but his mother chased him out: "You don't need to help. It's just a little more work. Go sit in the living room and talk."
"Then we won't be polite—"
Han Shu smiled and picked up Li Shu and went to the living room with Gu Ning. He knew that Li Xuewu had something to say to her and she couldn't go back too late, so she could only eat the ready-made food.
Dong Mengyuan has also reached the age where he likes toys, and little sister Li Shu’s toy basket is really an eye-opener for him.
My own toys were all packed in a wooden box, but my senior brother’s sister had four large baskets of toys, not counting those buried in the sandpit in the house.
Li Shu is talkative, but she is not stingy. No matter whether Dong Mengyuan or Fu Zhidong from Gangcheng comes, she will not take these toys.
The little brother liked to play, so she played with him too. She never said anything about snatching away the things or stopping him from playing.
There is just one bad thing about her. She always wants to teach the little brothers how to play with toys. The way she plays is purely destructive and she doesn't feel bad about having too many toys.
Most of the cars that Dong Mengyuan turned out were without wheels or were missing some parts.
Most of the toys nowadays are made of tin, so they can withstand being dropped and hit. If they were made of plastic, they would have been crushed to pieces long ago.
The porcelain doll that I bought for her at the beginning would have been torn into pieces and would be impossible to find if Li Xue hadn't put it away early on as soon as she saw it.
Whenever Li Xuewu goes on a business trip, he always thinks about buying toys for his daughter. Every time Gu Yan comes back, he buys boxes of toys.
In addition to the concerns of Ji Weidong and Lao Biaozi, Li Shu still had a lot of new toys that had not been unpacked, and she really couldn't play with them all.
"I want it! I want to go down to the ground—"
Li Shu saw the little brother playing with the car, looked at her aunt and said, "I want to get off."
Han Shu held her tightly and asked with a smile, "What did you call me? Call me so that I can hear you. Only if you listen well can I let you go."
"My... aunt!"
Li Shu covered Han Shu's face with her small hands and smacked him hard, showing her unwillingness to act coquettishly.
Han Shu was amused by her and laughed. He put her in front of his son and told her, "Play with your sister and don't bully her—"
Before Dong Mengyuan nodded in agreement, Li Shu nodded vigorously and agreed: "Yes, aunt, I know, I won't bully him!"
-
"What does your unit think?"
I listened to Li Xuewu’s explanation on the need for support from scientific and technological talents in the introduction of technology and new equipment.
At the same time, I also learned about the Red Star Factory's determination and goal to recruit scientific and technological talents.
Han Shu frowned slightly and reminded: "During this period, if you want to enrich talents and monopolize technology, aren't you afraid that a big tree will attract wind?"
"The tree is already very big, and the wind has already been attracted. We have no choice but to do this now."
Li Xuewu took a sip of hot tea and said, "Red Star Factory has already embarked on a road of no return, which means it must succeed. If we turn back, we will surely collapse and perish, so we can only bite the bullet and move forward."
He put down the teacup and picked up the teapot to refill the hot tea for Han Shu and Gu Ning, and continued, "The higher-ups are using the Red Star Factory as a vanguard and a test subject."
"Our factory also wants to take a path that leads the times and grasps the development trend, so we must accumulate and enrich ourselves in science and technology. There is no other way."
"Too radical. I don't object to your rapid development, but if you keep expanding like a snowball, you might explode."
Han Shu shook his head slightly and said, "Of course you are thinking that the technicians and scholars are currently undergoing a kind of training and experience, and that a better life is offered in exchange for their loyalty."
"But have you ever thought that this kind of loyalty is extreme and limited to the times? What about the future? Don't consider it?"
"That requires time to think about it, but what we lack most is time."
Li Xuewu folded his right leg and sighed, "The current development of Red Star Factory is like a raging fire. The slightest mistake will lead to a big mistake."
"The factory leaders are still considering controlling the break-even point of production and sales."
He pounded his thigh and said, "Red Star Factory has cut off its own retreat since last year. Didn't you notice that the transformation of our factory is a stage faster than the overall environment?"
"Be brave enough to shoulder the heavy responsibility and be a pioneer of change."
When Han Shu said this, he did not feel much envy or admiration, but more of worry.
Dong Wenxue and Li Xuewu both played important roles in the development of Red Star Factory.
The Red Star Factory was the reason for its success and failure.
We should not only see how much benefit they can get after Red Star Factory becomes Red Star Steel Group, but also see what setbacks they will suffer when Red Star Factory fails to become a group.
Han Shu considered the advance and retreat from a comprehensive perspective. Unlike what Li Xuewu said, his momentum was that of life and death, but more comprehensive.
She thought for a moment and said, "Have you ever considered splitting up your business to reduce risk and increase your resilience to risks brought about by policy changes?"
"Spin-off? No, we prefer integration and industrialization, which is a more stable development path."
Li Xuewu shook his head slightly and said, "Splitting up can quickly reduce the risks brought by radicalization, but it will also cut off one's own arm. If too many are cut off, there will be no hope of group formation."
"But the big factory situation you're creating now is a threat, you know?"
Han Shu reminded: "Unless you can continue to obtain high-quality and high-efficiency orders, it will be difficult to maintain these people and the production plan. Where can you get so many raw materials?"
"It seems that the new era worker training system has been established, but it will take at least three years to achieve success. What are you going to do in these three years?"
She shook her head slightly and said, "Do you know how many children of workers waiting to be employed and how many workers' living problems need to be solved in three years?"
"We have taken some precautions in this regard. The current joint tertiary industry is one aspect, and the construction engineering team is another."
Li Xuewu said seriously: "At the same time, we also believe that the organization must have a way to solve the problem of increasing number of unemployed people."
"Are you serious?"
Han Shu looked at him and said, "Do you know what the result is when the school can't assign students from the previous two classes and can't recruit new students?"
"I know, of course I know."
Li Xuewu nodded and said, "The purpose of our factory's expansion of technical staff this time is also to relieve the pressure on organizations and universities."
"Stop talking nonsense. Just say you are taking advantage of someone's misfortune. Why are you talking about helping the organization? You have this awareness, but I don't believe that Li Huaide from your factory has this awareness."
Han Shu drooped his eyelids and said, "You know that the development of Red Star Factory is like a raging fire. You should think about extinguishing the fire instead of adding fuel to the fire and recruiting talents."
"We can't retreat. It's too late. Now we can only go this way till the end. Whoever retreats will die."
Li Xuewu said seriously: "The solution to enriching talents is to set up a separate scientific and technological research institute, which will be independently operated and managed."
He pointed out the window and said, "If all else fails, we can send it to Miyun Mountain, but we must take over the technology and new equipment."
Li Xuewu emphasized: "This is an important cornerstone for whether Red Star Factory can achieve great leaps and bounds in the next ten years."
"We don't want to impose strict restrictions on management, and we won't even interfere with their studies. We all understand that it's better to loosen up than to block."
"As for reducing the risk of enterprise development," Li Xuewu thought for a moment and explained, "On the one hand, we are building an integrated industrial base in Gangcheng, making the factory smaller and the management bigger."
"This can reduce fixed asset investment, control human resource costs, reduce trial and error costs, and so on."
Li Xuewu also said: "Heavy industry and light industry have become industrialized, relying on the introduction of technology and equipment to update production processes."
“It will not only improve production efficiency and quality, but also speed up supply and sales, and provide a product base for our joint trading platform.”
Li Xuewu concluded by saying: "We have two insurances. One is that the changes in our factory are much faster than the external situation, so we will not be caught off guard when policy changes occur."
"The second is that the Red Star Factory has a relatively broad base of workers and the masses, and is still making progress in infrastructure and industrial construction."
He looked at Han Shu and said, "Technology, production, and sales are the three pillars. We can achieve a virtuous cycle."
"Even if you have to join the game yourself?"
Han Shu understood what he meant and said, "You and Wenxue are both young, and you still have a long way to go in the future. Why are you in such a hurry?"
She said with some confusion: "It is obvious that Li Huaide has bad intentions. Now the wind is favorable, what should we do if we encounter headwinds?"
"He wants to use you as a scapegoat!"
"Well, the teacher and I have taken this into consideration, so we have been expanding the influence."
Li Xuewu said carefully: "The headwind has appeared several times. Li Huaide is indeed prepared for this, but as of now, I am more inclined to believe that he dare not play the trick of killing the dog after the rabbit is dead."
"You and literature won't...?"
Han Shu frowned slightly and said, "Don't think you are so smart and have planned everything out. Li Huaide's background is not simple."
She reminded Li Xuewu: "If you use him to block the lightning, the lightning might strike straight down."
"So Li Huaide must gain weight. We are trying to give him some weight. The fatter the better."
Li Xuewu narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "He is broad and fat enough to withstand all thunder."
Gu Ning was coaxing the child to sleep. Hearing their sword-fighting conversation, he felt his brain was not enough. What were they doing?
Han Shu and his mother went with Han Jiankun and his wife. The car first dropped Han Shu and his mother off, and then Han Jiankun drove them home.
It was really getting late, and since it was a rare opportunity for us to get together, we talked a lot.
Li Ning had already sent her back upstairs to sleep. Later, Li Shu couldn't bear it anymore, so she let Liu Yin take her upstairs to wash up and put her to sleep.
Dong Mengyuan, who was the last to leave, was also sleeping in a daze. When children gather together, their energy is consumed very quickly and they are also very easy to fall asleep.
When Li Xuewu closed the door and returned upstairs, he said a few words to his mother, then entered the master bedroom. Gu Ning was reading in the study.
"It's late. Go get some rest. You still have to serve that little ancestor at night."
"Well, it's over."
Gu Ning responded and watched for a while until Li Xuewu came out of the shower.
She first looked at the baby in the crib before getting into bed.
"That talent recruitment plan you told Sister Han about, won't there be any danger, right?"
"What danger? Is it a policy-related one?"
Li Xuewu leaned back on the bed and sighed slightly, "No one can figure this out for sure. We can only guess based on experience and vision."
"Why do you seem to be confident?" Gu Ning looked at him, turned off the bedside lamp and asked, "Have you learned about the policy?"
"How could I have that ability? How great a figure do you regard your lover as?"
Li Xuewu teased her, then said seriously: "Everything will turn around when it reaches its extreme. Good times will come after bad times. You should be able to feel it."
Turning off the bedside lamp on his side, Li Xuewu looked at Gu Ning in the moonlight shining through the window and said, "Teacher Han also said that there are too many people in the university and it's hard for new students to come in."
"Another thing is that there are more and more unemployed young people in the city, and the development speed of factories and units and the number of jobs they can provide are limited. What do you think should be done about this problem?"
Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and said, "When there are too many idle men, there will be trouble. Haven't you heard the joke that when three idle men get together, they will produce an idea king?"
Gu Ning rolled his eyes at him and said, "So what? How should the problem be solved?"
"If I knew, I wouldn't have worked as a security guard at the Red Star Factory."
Li Xuewu chuckled and said, "I only know that the Red Star Factory's expansion of business, construction of new production workshops, implementation of three shifts, and training of new workers are in line with current policy needs."
"The issues that Professor Han is concerned about are actually considered from the perspective of scholars, or economics and humanities. Our company is different."
He looked at Gu Ning and explained, "We value practical benefits more. As long as it is useful, we will use it. If it is useless, we will throw it away."
"What this and that? We are not a city, so why should we care about social issues?"
"Now our factory is continuing to expand, and the construction of workshops cannot keep up with the investment and construction of new projects. This is a time of great vitality."
Li Xuewu said with a smile: "No matter how many problems there are, they have all been crushed by the wheels of the high-speed development train. What other problems are there?"
Gu Ning pursed his lips and said, "Aren't you tired of calculating like this?"
She raised her head and looked at Li Xuewu, saying, "You have to calculate policies, calculate manpower, calculate production, calculate sales, and calculate the underworld in the unit. Doesn't your head hurt?"
"I scheme against others, shouldn't it be others who have a headache? Why should I have a headache?"
Li Xuewu said with a smile: "If one day I become a chess piece on someone else's chessboard, that's when I'll have a headache."
-
"Hey, guys! I'm not kidding! We're going to upgrade our rifles to a cannon, this thing!"
Li Yuanchao, who was standing at the door of the store, slapped the saddle of his bicycle and said, "I won't ride it anymore!"
"Huh—!"
Someone immediately complimented him: "Brother Li, we don't even care about our 28-inch bicycle, so what do you care about?"
Someone over there speculated, "Did you get your dad's jeep?"
"Damn it! It's okay for me to drive out for a while temporarily. If I drive out for a while longer, I'll just be fooling around with the car crew at the service office!"
Li Yuanchao raised his eyebrows and said, "But if you say it's been a long time, don't say I don't dare. There are only one veteran in the old soldier circle in this city. Who dares?"
"You dare? You dare? Or do you dare?"
Whoever he pointed at would shake his head. In their circle, Li Yuanchao was the most powerful person. If he didn't dare, who would dare to drive the family car?
Besides, the cars at home don’t belong to them. They are uniformly allocated by the service office of the compound. The extra ones are just exclusive cars.
However, the security department of the compound sometimes has a good relationship with the squad leader and can borrow the sidecars for a ride to show off with their brothers.
But if you talk about the reality, there is really no such thing as driving a 212 jeep around the city every day.
Why do I want to emphasize this time? Because later on, the 212 will become popular, there will be more cars on the road, and even the street power supply stations will have this type of car, so it won't be noticeable when young people drive it.
But at this moment, especially when the kids have nothing to do and are just wandering around, having a 28-inch bicycle is pretty cool.
But if Li Yuanchao wanted to stand out among the veteran circles in Beijing, having just a 28-inch truck was not enough, he had to come up with new tricks.
"It can be considered as a chance for Old Li to catch up with the fashion and the development of the times!"
Li Yuanchao smiled and said, "Do you know what I've been doing recently? This!"
He pointed to the small badge next to his chest and said, "Do you know the newly opened Dongfeng Sports Club? I'm a youth member there."
“We’ve actually heard of this!”
Someone said: "I heard it's an invitation-only event, it's so mysterious, I don't know what it's for."
"What do you do? Study!"
Li Yuanchao took out a thick book from the bag in the bicycle basket and showed it to everyone, proudly explaining: "Brother, I am now a serious progressive young man!"
"Hey! Yuan Chao, you're also into philosophy! Hahahaha——!"
Zhong Yuemin snatched the book from his hand and took a look. When he saw the word "philosophy", he started to make a joke.
Li Yuanchao snatched the book from his hand and said with his neck stiff, "If you can't keep up with the new situation, can't understand the new pulse, and can't see the new atmosphere, those who don't study will sooner or later become frogs in the well--!"
He put the book back into his bag and raised his eyebrows, saying, "We don't just study this. We need to learn law, literature, thought, fighting, and artistic accomplishment. We need to know a thing or two about everything!"
"Of course, I'm just starting to learn now. When I've mastered both literary and martial arts, I'll show them to you guys!"
"But now——!"
He stood at the door of the special business store outside the Wei San Regiment compound and looked around, explaining: "First, let me show you how I upgrade my old guns to new ones! Watch out!"
Having said this, he handed the car to his brother and walked towards the store alone.
The store had just opened in the morning and the salesperson was cleaning the room and arranging merchandise on the shelves. When he saw him come in, he greeted him.
Li Yuanchao brags to his brothers outside, but he dare not act arrogantly here, because behind this store is the Third Regiment of Wei.
It wasn't that he was afraid of how powerful the leader of the Third Guard Regiment was. He was just afraid that he would fail here and lose face without anyone to seek justice.
"I want a Comet motorcycle, one of those new little motorcycles you have."
He knew the rules, and without waiting for the salesperson to ask, he carefully took out a certificate from his wallet and handed it over along with his ID card, holding his head high.
Why?
This makes it easier for the salesperson to check whether the photo on the ID card is consistent with him.
The salesperson was also quick. Seeing that he came prepared, he first checked his identity and then looked at the proof of purchase before asking, "Do you have enough money?"
"That's inevitable!"
Seeing that he had passed the identity verification, Li Yuanchao knew that the Youth Exchange had not deceived him, and he couldn't help but feel excited.
He took out a large bundle of money from his pocket and placed it on the counter, and said to the salesperson angrily, "Please count them. They are all in whole money."
The whole money Li Yuanchao mentioned was a single Great Unity note. There were no whole hundred notes at that time.
He took out the money and looked at the people in the house from outside. It was really lively.
"Wow! What is Yuan Chao doing?!"
"What if this doesn't work?"
"He went to look at the motorcycles hey-!"
……
Zhong Yuemin rode his bicycle and craned his neck to look inside the house. He had been to this special business store countless times.
He had also been to the car showroom there, and had visited the Red Star Antelope and the Fire-Fighting Antelope, which were their dreams.
They have also seen the motorcycles over there, 500CC, 250CC, all big ones.
"It looks like Li Yuanchao took the money to buy a motorcycle?"
Zheng Tong shook his head and raised his hand to push up his glasses, saying, "No way, how can a person buy a motorcycle!"
"Besides, even if you can buy it, how much money do you have to spend to afford it?"
"Not necessarily, let's see what you say."
Zhong Yuemin was still looking inside, saying, "This place is very special. Maybe there will be some bargains there."
"I can't wait for it—"
Yuan Jun pursed his lips and said, "Didn't you just listen to what he said? Why are you chasing fashion and catching the tail?"
"Fuck! Could it be that I really got into that Youth Club and was given a quota to buy a car?"
Zheng Tong was surprised and said, "I think I heard someone mention coming here last time, saying that the welfare benefits of this Youth Club are top notch."
"This place is really special. A lot of people come here to buy sailor shirts and training pants."
Zhong Yuemin stood on the back of the car, looking at the excitement inside and said, "I bought my equipment here. I can't buy it anywhere else."
"Although I know it's not a serious outfit, it looks the same when worn outside, and it's even more comfortable and made of better fabrics. Who wouldn't want to get one?"
Zheng Tong said with emotion: "I dare not go in easily. I have no money in my pocket. Once I go in, I am dazzled by the sights. I want everything. It's too annoying."
"Hey hey! It's out! It's out!"
As they were talking, they saw Li Yuanchao coming out of the store pushing a small motorcycle.
"Fuck! Aid to North Korea is awesome!"
"Awesome, awesome! That's really awesome!"
"This time you have taken the lead in the Forty-Nine City, you can't deny it!"
Everyone was complimenting him, and Li Yuanchao was very proud. He clasped his hands together and thanked the brothers who came to support him.
He didn't care about the envy, jealousy and hatred among the crowd because this was exactly the effect he wanted.
How can he prove his ability and how can he prove his power in the city if he is not hated by others?
"Everyone, thank you for coming to support me, Li Yuanchao, today. I'll treat you to dinner at our usual place tonight!"
"Alright! Let's help North Korea!"
"That's right, we have to prove that we have the ability!"
"Otherwise, why do people say that everyone respects him?"
……
Li Yuanchao was buying a car and treating guests, and this was exactly what he wanted to hear.
He bought the car just to become famous, but how could he become famous without anyone promoting him?
Of course, he spoke very grandly in this occasion, but in fact, only those who could attend his dinner party in the evening were prominent people.
Those who think they have no ability would not dare to get close to you. Most of them would just wave flags and cheer, shout a few words, and give a few compliments to please you.
If you eat his meal, you have to do things for him. If you fail to do so, even spitting out the food won't work, he will have to beat it out for you.
Zhong Yuemin looked at the motorcycle through the crowd, very curious.
It's quite small, even shorter than a 250-inch bicycle, and the wheel spokes are not as wide, big, and thick as those of 500CC or CC.
At first glance, I thought it was a bicycle, except it didn't have pedals.
You say it's not as tall as a bicycle, and not as domineering-looking as a 250CC motorcycle, but it's this little thing that becomes more and more attractive the more you look at it, and the more you love it.
"Today is Youth Day, the day our Youth Club is officially established," Li Yuanchao explained to everyone, "All members in this batch can apply for the qualification to purchase a motorcycle."
"We are enjoying benefits. The president of Dongfeng Sports Club, who is also our boss, is the director of the Red Star Factory."
His bragging was quite honest. He stood at the door of the store, holding the handlebars of the motorcycle in his hands and said, "Outsiders can't buy it. It hasn't been mass-produced yet. There are only a few in the store."
"Yuan Chao, this thing is not cheap, right?" Zhong Yuemin came closer, looked at the motorcycle under Li Yuan Chao's crotch and said, "I just saw you take out a large bundle of money."
"That's nothing, buddy, you really got a bargain!" Li Yuanchao shook his head and said, "Do you know how much the annual membership fee of our Youth Club is?"
Without waiting for anyone to guess, he stretched out two fingers and said sneerily, "Two hundred!"
"But the inside..." He suddenly stopped talking here, raised his eyebrows and said: "I can't say that, but what I can say is that two hundred yuan a year is definitely worth it. I think it's worth it."
Regardless of the eagerness of the people around him, he only said half of his words and started talking about the car again.
“Just for this, I think it’s worth it!”
He pointed his thumb behind him and raised his eyebrows, saying, "See? The normal price of this car in the store is 499. You can't get it for a dollar less. Hey, buddy can get it cheaper!"
"Why?" Zheng Tong asked curiously, "Why can you get it for free?"
"Hey! I have this!"
He flicked the badge on his chest and said, "This is only worth 49 dollars!"
"450 yuan? You said you bought this motorcycle for 450 yuan?!"
Zhong Yuemin looked at the motorcycle in shock, and then looked at Li Yuanchao in disbelief. The others were no better than him, all looking at him with shock and curiosity.
Li Yuanchao was very satisfied with the attitude of the crowd, and curled his lips and said, "The internal price is definitely not available to ordinary people, and even if you pay the full price, you can't buy it now!"
He reminded everyone: "Didn't I just say that we haven't started mass production yet!"
"When will it go into mass production?" Zhong Yuemin couldn't wait to ask, "Do you have any inside information?"
"Of course! Don't you see where my buddy is hanging out?"
He couldn't help but flick the badge on his chest again and said, "The news I got is that the official mass production will start in July. As for when the goods will be sufficient, it's hard to say."
Li Yuanchao shook the motorcycle under his crotch and raised his eyebrows and said, "You can see it too. It's good quality and low price. It's a model. Who wouldn't love it?"
"Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you!"
Li Yuanchao seemed to remember something, and pulled Zhong Yuemin over and whispered, "I've heard that you like Zhou Xiaobai, and he used to work in the club."
"Of course I know she works there."
Zhong Yuemin looked at Li Yuanchao and said, "I just haven't seen her recently. I asked where she went, but I couldn't find her in the compound."
"Of course you can't find her! She's not even in the club anymore! No!"
Li Yuanchao raised his neck and said, "To be specific, she is no longer in the capital!"
"What? Going out of town?"
Zhong Yuemin frowned and said, "I was wondering why I couldn't find her recently. It turns out that..."
"What is it? Do you want to hear me?"
Li Yuanchao looked at him and continued, "I heard that Zhou Xiaobai is also a member of the Youth Club. We have activities and programs every weekend. Do you understand?"
"She comes back every week?"
Zhong Yuemin understood, stared at Li Yuanchao and asked: "What time and where, do you know? If you know, tell me, I owe you a favor!"
"Don't give me that crap. I'm helping you find out this because of a favor?"
Li Yuanchao looked at him and said, "She came back on Saturday and left on Monday. She didn't go home to Tianjin, but stayed at the International Hotel."
"International Hotel? I know!"
Zhong Yuemin's mouth was dry and his heart was upset. Last time Zhou Xiaobai told him not to go to see her, but he was unwilling to do so and went several times.
But even if you wait at the door for a whole day and don't see the other person come out, you can still run into Luo Yun at the beginning, but the girl won't say anything.
Later, Luo Yun couldn't see them anymore. He thought they were no longer there, so he went to the compound to inquire.
Wow, after going around in circles for a long time, the person is still a member of the club, but he went to Tianjin and he said he couldn’t find him.
"Don't say I'm dishonest. That place has many rules and is very strict. I can't bring you in. The rest is up to you."
Li Yuanchao was really good at talking. He said, "But my friend, if I see her in the club, I will let you know."
"No problem, that's very nice!"
Zhong Yuemin nodded and said, "I'll treat you tonight, let's have dinner together."
"No! I have something important to do!"
Li Yuanchao glanced at him and said, "As I said before, I'm not asking for a favor from you. Lovers will always get married!"
After that, he patted Zhong Yuemin on the shoulder and said, "She goes to the club every weekend. When the time is right, she either plays tennis or goes to the shooting range to practice target shooting. You should remember her hobbies."
"I understand, I understand!"
Zhong Yuemin was a little stunned. He was the kind of person who would never give up for his goal, but now he was listening to Li Yuanchao tipping off and giving him advice, treating him as a good person and one of his own.
Li Yuanchao smiled as he kicked the motorcycle, stepped on the accelerator, and said to Zhong Yuemin, "If you want to win the beauty, I will give you a one-step solution."
He raised his eyebrows and said, "You are also a well-off person. You should try your best to buy her one of these things. I don't believe Zhou Xiaobai can bear this!"
After saying that, he called out to everyone, asked them to help him take the car back, and then he rode his motorcycle ahead and rushed out.
Looking at Li Yuanchao walking away with a large group of people with a loud noise, Zhong Yuemin stood there in a daze.
It's impossible not to be envious. They are all young people, hanging out on the streets, so how come they can ride motorcycles!
He usually boasted that he was not much inferior to the other party, and he did not need to flatter the other party even if they met, but now the gap has widened suddenly.
Their bikes are pedaled, but other people's bikes can be started with just one pedal. Those who drink oil are more arrogant than those who eat steamed corn bread!
“Times are changing so fast!”
……
In fact, it is not that the times have changed, but that someone used his forward-looking vision to kick the wheel of the times, causing the times to go slightly off track.
The scooters are sold before they are mass-produced, not to give benefits to these people, but to create an advertising effect where scarcity makes things valuable.
There is no decent place to advertise these days, word of mouth is still an old tradition.
Li Xuewu specially approved a portion of the trial production of comets for targeted marketing just for the purpose of advertising.
This car is useless for office workers, they won't buy it, even if it's 49% cheaper.
Those who are fashionable and willing to spend money are counted as these little guys. They have accumulated a lot of money from last year to now.
If you come across such an awesome mount, wouldn’t you just spend all your savings to buy it for the sake of honor?
Once they buy a car, they must not let it sit idle. If the car is idle for even a minute, it will be considered a loss for them. They only have two months to show off.
They will definitely ride this bike around the city, as they want everyone to know that they bought a motorcycle and that they are so cool.
They have time and money, so the Red Star Factory is planning to spend 49 yuan to let these people help advertise throughout the city for two months. Is that appropriate?
When it comes to scheming and cunning, no matter how cunning these youngsters are, they are not as good as Old Deng who has experienced many hardships.
If you have money, you can play with motorcycles. There is no limit to what you can buy. The Red Star Factory launches new products every year, and whoever can't keep up will lose face.
Li Xuewu used one fish to make several dishes. Not only did he benefit the Red Star Factory, he also won over the Youth Club and took advantage of the little guy.
He had provided a way out for the stubborn gang members before and won their hearts. Now he had won the hearts of the veterans through the Youth Forum. He had unknowingly grasped the pulse of the young people of the era.
The younger generation are truly worthy of the title of red flag bearers.
