Just as He Yuzhu and Xu Damao were secretly competing, the spring breeze of reform and opening up was gradually blowing.

Under Wang Zhong's strong suggestion, the factory organized its first sales team, led by Wang Zhong, and rushed to Shenzhen to promote the range hoods produced by the steel rolling mill.

As the forefront of reform and opening up, Shenzhen City was at the forefront of the reform and opening up. Coupled with the cheap domestic labor force and various preferential policies provided by the local government, countless businessmen from Hong Kong and Southeast Asia came to Shenzhen to invest and set up factories. In just a few years, the original small fishing village became

It already looks like a modern city, and the people's lives are gradually getting better.

Once people have money in their pockets, they will naturally start to think about improving their lives and quality of life. However, Wang Zhong's target is not the ordinary people who have taken root in Shenzhen, but the Hong Kong businessmen who come to Shenzhen to invest and build factories.

After half a month, with Wang Zhong's sharp tongue and the help of the local government, the team led by Wang Zhong successfully established relationships with several Hong Kong businessmen.

Nowadays, those who can invest in Shenzhen are basically optimistic about the future development of the country, and many of them have long-term vision. Of course, these so-called Hong Kong businessmen and foreign businessmen are naturally a mixed bag, mixed into three religions and nine streams.

The range hood brought by Wang Zhong and the others is not the first generation, but the second range hood just launched by the factory under the leadership of Wang Zhong. The performance improvement is not too much, but in terms of appearance,

But he put in a lot of effort.

This trip to Shenzhen took nearly a month. After seeing the prototype brought by Wang Zhong and others, several interested Hong Kong businessmen followed Wang Zhong all the way to Peiping and inspected the steel rolling mill building.

Although the growth line of the steel rolling mill is old, the workers are very motivated to produce, their technology is also very outstanding, and the products they make are also very sophisticated. In particular, the steel rolling mill is close to the management system of an advanced enterprise. I invited a few people to come and visit.

The Hong Kong businessmen were very surprised.

Although the system of the steel rolling mill has bonus points, the old growth line and the almost obsolete machinery surprised several Hong Kong businessmen, but they were not too shocked.

What really prompted them to make their decision was the atmosphere and pursuit of the Red Star Rolling Mill, which was very different from other large state-owned mills in the country.

Moreover, in terms of performance, the second-generation range hood launched by Hongxing Steel Rolling Plant is no worse than the range hoods popular on the market today, and even looks better.

The effect was also very significant. After the visit, several Hong Kong businessmen expressed their willingness to sign a purchase contract for range hoods with Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill.

The new factory director Liu was very excited, and immediately sent out his biggest weapon - Shazhu, and asked Shazhu to cook a few Tan's dishes, and opened a few bottles of specially supplied Wuliangye, and immediately sent out several Hong Kong products.

Shang was forced to lie down.

Factory Director Liu led Wang Zhong to personally deliver several manufacturers to the airport. Just as they were leaving, Wang Zhong saw a person he had not seen for a long time at the airport gate.

"Old Liu, I see an old friend! Come over and say hello, you guys go back first!" Wang Zhong said hello to Factory Manager Liu and walked straight towards the man.

When Director Liu saw Wang Zhong walking up to a middle-aged woman in gorgeous and trendy clothes, Director Liu couldn't help but curiously asked the secretary next to him: "Who is that?"

The secretary shook his head: "I don't know."

"Old Nie! Do you know him?" Factory Manager Liu looked at Nie, the deputy factory manager next to him.

Old Nie squinted his eyes, looked at it for a while, frowned and said, "I don't know him, but he looks familiar."

"You don't know him either?" Director Liu was a little surprised. Old Nie is an old man in the factory. He has been in the factory longer than Wang Zhong, but he doesn't even know him.

"Probably not from our factory!"

"Although Deputy Director Wang is from Qilu, he went to university in Peiping, so it's not unusual to have several classmates and alumni!"

"I was very surprised when I saw Deputy Director Wang just now. I guess he was an old friend whom I haven't seen for many years."

"Didn't Lao Wang tell us not to wait for him?"

"Go back first!"

"······"

After talking with each other, several people decided to leave first. At this time, Wang Zhong looked at Lou Xiao'e who could not hide his old age even though his face was covered with powder and heavy makeup, and he took the initiative to say hello.

.

"Lou Xiao'e! Why don't you say hello when you see your old neighbor?"

"Wang Zhong?" Looking at the sudden appearance of an old friend in front of her, Lou Xiao'e was very surprised. She looked Wang Zhong up and down with her eyes: "Why are you here?"

"Of course I'm here to give them away!" Wang Zhong said: "Recently, the factory has received several orders from Hong Kong businessmen. Old Ren and I... Lao Ren is the new director of our factory, so we came together to give them away.

airplane."

Lou Xiao'e nodded.

Wang Zhong looked at Lou Xiao'e, who was dressed as a modern urban working woman, and asked, "Did you just get off the plane?"

Lou Xiao'e said: "I just came back from Shencheng."

"Just came back from Shencheng?" Wang Zhong said: "Doing business?"

Lou Xiao'e nodded.

"This is not the place to talk. Let's find a place to sit down and talk slowly." Seeing Lou Xiao'e, Wang Zhong's thoughts changed.

Lou Xiao'e didn't want to meet her neighbors in the courtyard, but Wang Zhong had always had a good impression on him. After a moment of hesitation, she still didn't refuse: "That's fine!"

Wang Zhong drove Lou Xiaoe in an old-fashioned military pickup truck supplied by the factory and drove all the way to Quanjude. He ordered a roast duck and a few vegetarian dishes, ate it slowly with wine, and started chatting.

Wang Zhong asked: "By the way, when did you come back from the northwest?"

Lou Xiao'e said: "That time in seven or eight years."

Wang Zhongdao: "Why don't you go back to the courtyard to have a look? I remember that the deaf old lady was still thinking about you when she left!"

Speaking of the deaf old lady, Lou Xiao'e's weather-stained face couldn't help but feel a little moved, and there was some reminiscence of the past in her eyes.

"If you die and can't be resurrected, what's the use if you go away!" Lou Xiao'e said this with emotion.

Wang Zhong looked at Lou Xiao'e's much-worn face and couldn't help but sigh: "Time is not forgiving. I haven't seen you for more than ten years. You have indeed changed a lot."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "You want to say that I look a lot older!" Lou Xiao'e said directly.

Wang Zhongdao: "The northwest is a bitter cold land with difficult conditions. You were pampered when you were young, with tender skin and tender flesh. After staying there for ten years, it would be strange if you still have nothing to do as you did more than ten years ago.

.”

Wang Zhong's almost joking tone relaxed the atmosphere a bit. Lou Xiao'e stared at Wang Zhong and said: "You haven't changed much, you are still the same as you were more than ten years ago."

Wang Zhong stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Isn't this a change?"

The atmosphere became a little more relaxed, and the awkwardness in Lou Xiao'e's heart completely disappeared.

After a few more pleasantries, Wang Zhong got down to the topic: "By the way, I haven't asked you yet, what big business are you doing in Shen City?"

"It's not a big business. I just opened a small factory with my brother to make hardware accessories."

Wang Zhong asked: "With your brother? Where is your father?"

Lou Xiao'e's expression suddenly changed, she lowered her head and started eating: "He passed away! He passed away in 1973. My father left within two years, and my mother also left!"

Before Wang Zhong could continue to ask questions, Lou Xiao'e took the initiative to talk about family matters.

"Hey!" Wang Zhong sighed and comforted: "My condolences!"

"It's okay, I've already looked away!" Lou Xiao'e raised her head and forced a smile, but her eyes were somewhat dim.

"Don't just talk about me, talk about you!"

Wang Zhong smiled and said: "Fortunately for me, I concentrated on technology and avoided the limelight. In the past few years, there was a big change in the factory. I was promoted to be the deputy director. I still focused on technology and was responsible for the agricultural machinery and range hoods in the factory.

project."

Lou Xiao'e was obviously not very interested in things in the factory and asked, "Where is your wife?"

"I gave birth to a son and a daughter. The eldest is a daughter. The one you were pregnant with when you left. The younger son was born in 1977. As for his personality, he is still the same as before. He is carefree and does not play tricks. His heart is

Just say whatever you think."

"What are your daughter and son's names?"

"My daughter's name is Wang Xinyi, and my son's name is Wang Heng!"

"Xinyi?" Lou Xiao'e said, "It's like the name you gave me."

······

Wang Zhong didn't tell anyone about his encounter with Lou Xiao'e. His meeting with Lou Xiao'e was only limited to having a meal and catching up on old times. Wang Zhong was not the kind of man whose lower body controlled his upper body. He didn't ask for help when meeting someone.

To the point of sleeping alone.

Besides, Lou Xiao'e's appearance is just average, and she has stayed in the Northwest for more than ten years. Her skin and condition cannot be compared with Qin Jingru's, who lives a leisurely and comfortable life. She is clearly only in her thirties, but she looks like this

Just like a middle-aged woman in her forties.

After exchanging contact information with Lou Xiao'e and sending Lou Xiao'e home, Wang Zhong drove back to the factory.

Wang Zhong was a little surprised to meet Lou Xiao'e, but to Wang Zhong, it was just a small wave in his long life and would not stir up a storm.

However, after that, the two had many contacts and often talked on the phone. Wang Zhong's understanding of the current situation and his excellent management ability helped Lou Xiao'e a lot.

On this day, Wang Zhong returned home. As soon as he sat down at the dinner table, he saw Wang Xinyi coming back from outside in a low mood.

"What's going on?" Wang Zhong asked curiously.

Wang Xinyi looked disappointed: "Sister Huaihua failed the exam!"

Wang Zhongdao: "If you fail, you fail. If you really want to go to college, you can just take the exam again next year."

"It's not that simple!" Wang Xinyi said: "It's not just about going to college, it's also about the house at home."

Wang Zhong asked: "House? Is it Banggeng's date or Xiaodang? It should be that boy Banggeng!"

"Dad, how come you knew it before I said anything?" Wang Xinyi looked at his father curiously.
