    "Mr. Wang, goodbye." "Ms. Li, thanks to you this time, after returning to Hong Kong, I will host a thank you banquet, please be sure to show your respect "Ms. Li, I will go to Shenzhen early tomorrow morning and I will visit you then.  " At the entrance of the theater, after Li Kaiyuan shook hands with several Hong Kong businessmen and said goodbye, he said to a middle-aged man wearing glasses who was following him: "Director Bi, I have to go to Shenzhen tomorrow. I'll take my leave now, please.  Tell Secretary Yang, thank you very much for the hospitality of the Guangzhou Municipal Party Committee.  " "Where, patriotic businessmen like Miss Li are our distinguished guests. Before Secretary Yang went to Beijing for the meeting, he specifically asked me to entertain you well.  The man smiled and said: "Guangzhou's current material conditions are not comparable to those of Hong Kong. This New Year's party was not good enough, it was a bit crude. Please forgive me, Miss Li."  " "Director Bi is so kind. It was a great success tonight. The food was delicious and the song and dance show was also exciting. It was an eye-opener for me.  " After Li Kaiyuan said a few more polite words, he shook hands with the man and said goodbye. Shen Chong opened the door of the Mercedes-Benz parked on the roadside first, bowed and invited her to get in the car. "It's weird again." Li Kaiyuan hit him with his handbag.  After a while, he bent down and got into the car. ¡°Miss, is the matter done?  " "Uncle Hua, I have told you many times, just call me Yuanyuan as before.  "Li Kaiyuan gave way to the right side, and Fang Shen rushed in, saying: "You have watched A Chong and I grow up, Miss, Miss, your shouting is awkward, and I feel uncomfortable hearing it.  " "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 find a doctor. I have no ability" "Aunt Zheng has been our neighbor for more than ten years.  I have made a fortune, so of course I have to help if I need anything.  Li Kaiyuan cut off his words and said, "Uncle Hua, you have helped me so much and you deserve to be paid. Don't mention it again in the future."  Let's drive to the Oriental Hotel.  " "That's right, Uncle Hua, you are famous for your loyalty and maturity. Yuanyuan is running alone in the mainland, and her parents can rest assured if you follow her.  Shen Chong helped by saying, "By the way, how is Xiaomei doing now?"  " "Very good, very good.  "Uncle Hua started the car and replied: "The doctor said the operation was successful and he will not get sick again in the future.  " "That's good. After she is discharged from the hospital, I will find her a light job.  Li Kaiyuan said: "Don't go to the electronics factory anymore. The environment there is not good and it is not suitable for Xiaomei."  " "Thank you, thank you, miss.  " Shen Chong laughed. He and Li Kaiyuan's family were both small households with a small population. There was a lack of manpower in starting a business. They could only ask familiar neighbors to help. One person could achieve the goal of raising a chicken or a dog to heaven. The media reported that he had  The income of every household in the building they lived in increased significantly in 1979. It was not surprising that Uncle Hua was a neighbor who lived in the same building. He smuggled himself to Hong Kong in the early 1970s to help others.  Li Kaiyuan works as a truck driver for a living. He is usually taciturn and honest. After Li Kaiyuan set up a factory in Shenzhen, he asked him to help drive, while his wife worked 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 Huo Yingdong's White Swan Hotel was completed and opened for business, the Oriental Hotel was the most high-end hotel in Guangzhou. It was located at No. 0 Liuhua Road. It opened in 19Ul and was originally named Yangcheng Hotel. It was renamed in 19UU and was the first state-owned five-star hotel in the mainland.  , the building is in the shape of an inverted "concave", with a height of 12 floors. It is composed of three sections: north, south and middle. There is nearly 10,000 square meters of garden scenery between the east and west floors. It has received guests including Zhou Enlai, Deng Xiaoping and Thatcher.  Madam Lee Kuan Yew, Liu Haisu, Guo Moruo and other political and cultural celebrities. Shen Chong and Li Kaiyuan lived here after coming to Guangzhou from Beijing. ¡°I always thought that I was born to be a winner in life and would be a big star wherever I went.  "After returning to the hotel, Shen Chong took off his coat and said with a lonely face: "I found out tonight that you are the big star and I am just a vase.  "    "how?  "Li Kaiyuan took off the gold hairpin that fixed his hair, let out a piece of hair, and said: "I'm jealous. ""I'm not just jealous, I'm also jealous." Shen Chong patted the Mao suit on his hand and said, "What a nice dress, but I don't have it."  People asked where you made it, and all night, they all gathered around you. "Look at your virtue, you want everyone in the world to know the origin of your clothes." Li Kaiyuan looked at him sideways and said, "I stayed in Guangzhou."  It¡¯s been a lot longer than you, and I¡¯ve only met the provincial party secretary once. You see me almost every time, and you don¡¯t see me jealous. With so many people tonight, does the provincial party secretary have any weight?  It is true that the power is inferior, but when it comes to money, the provincial party committee secretary is greatly inferior.  Shen Chong threw his clothes on the sofa and said: "I am a businessman, and money is the most important thing. But tonight everyone is fawning over you and vying to toast you, and basically no one cares about me."  " "Who asked you to hold a piece of gauze on your head?  "Li Kaiyuan pursed his lips and smiled, and said: "Gauze, are you stupid?  No matter how good the clothes are, you will look like a young and Dangerous guy when you wear them. If it were me, I wouldn't pay attention to you.  ¡±  "They probably thought I was your bodyguard or something." Shen Chong himself found it funny. He touched the gauze and said, "I didn't expect that your title as executive director of the Guangdong-Hong Kong Industry and Commerce Association is better than that of a member of the CPPCC  "It's too much." "Guangdong people want political achievements, and Hong Kong people want to make money." Li Kaiyuan sat on the bed, took off his shoes, and said: "I don't know how to do business, and I don't know how to run relationships. I know people on both sides."  , communicate in the middle, everyone is mutually beneficial, and it is naturally popular." "That's true." Shen Chong picked up the thermos and started making tea, saying: "You are a native of Hong Kong after all. Those businessmen don't believe in the mainland government, but they believe in you.  "If you stay as a director for a few more years, you might be more popular than the general manager of China Resources." "I'm not interested in socializing around." Li Kaiyuan rubbed his toes and said, "You think I want to be a director?"  I was given a hat, so I had no choice but to put it on the shelf. Oh, by the way, I saw that you got together with Zhang Xiancheng again at the fraternity party, and they had a great time chatting, with his poker face that has never changed.  You actually laughed. "What are you talking about?" "Talk about some past events." Shen Chong picked up a cup of tea and placed it next to her, showing off: "Did you know that Chiang Kai-shek likes to eat Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs? He has been eating them since he went to Taiwan.  I still remember that in the autumn of 1974, when he was seriously ill, Chiang Ching-kuo specially sent people to Hong Kong to buy a batch of Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs from China Resources and flew them back to Taiwan. However, they were stopped at the airport because Chiang Kai-shek had ordered that the mainland was strictly prohibited.  Even a fly from mainland China had to be swatted to death before it could enter Taiwan. Chiang Ching-kuo had no choice but to have all the crabs cooked at the airport before giving them to Chiang Kai-shek.  Eat "It's such a big thing." Li Kaiyuan rolled his eyes and said, "Who in Hong Kong doesn't know about this?  All the media were reporting on it that year, and I almost even counted the number of crab legs.  You and Zhang Xiancheng talked about this all night?  "    "ah?  "This matter was actually widely reported? Shen Chong was shocked and quickly lied, saying: "This matter is more interesting from China Resources' own people than what was said in the newspapers back then, and I discovered a business opportunity from it.  " "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.  Shen 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 exchange supplies, develop trade, and conduct economic exchanges.  After the announcement, China Resources began to purchase Taiwanese products in batches, and then sold them in Hong Kong. "So what?" Li Kaiyuan was puzzled and said: "There are not 10,000 but 8,000 stores selling Taiwanese products in Hong Kong. There is no shortage of China Resources."  "You, you really have long hair and short knowledge," Shen Chong said with disdain: "China Resources is not a store, it is a government agency, it is the Second Ministry of Foreign Trade. Their purchase of Taiwanese products is a political signal, indicating that the mainland market has no influence on Taiwan.  The opening up, and Chiang Kai-shek eating crabs, shows that Taiwan has always had a demand for mainland products. You see, Taiwan has daily industrial products that the mainland is in urgent need of, and the mainland has agricultural products and local products that Taiwan desires. But on the surface, the two places are inseparable.  Those who cannot communicate with each other, and this inconvenience of communication is a business opportunity. If a slow-selling TV set from Taiwan is sent to the mainland, it will become a hot commodity. A hairy crab that costs a few cents in the mainland will become a rarity worth hundreds of dollars if sent to Taiwan. "You mean, you  Want to set up a trading agency?  " "How could I do this? I was persuading Zhang Xiancheng to do it, and I persuaded him, so you saw him smiling.  "    "ah?  "This time it was Li Kaiyuan's turn to scream, 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 it will not change immediately just because of an announcement from the National People's Congress.  "Shen Chong picked up the teacup, blew it, and said: "With my current capital and influence, it's okay to do small business, but not on a large scale. And I never do small business, China Resources  There was no shortage of capital and influence, and they were professional trade agents. Only by doing it could we expand quickly, so I persuaded Zhang Xiancheng to do it.  " Li Kaiyuan looked at him and waited for explanation. "Zhang Xiancheng is a soldier who has changed his career. After joining China Resources, he has never achieved any good results. He is suppressed by Zhang Guangdou above, and the people below him are not convinced. His position is quite embarrassing.  Shen Chong took a sip of tea before continuing: "He has an extraordinary background and has a close relationship with Ning Ning's grandfather. If this matter can be handled well, economic interests aside, political interests alone will make him more successful."  Going further, becoming the CEO of China Resources will be beneficial to both you and me.  " "Is he sixty years old?  Li Kaiyuan retorted: "I am about the same age as Zhang Guangdou, the current general manager of China Resources. Even if I can get up, I won't be able to do it for a few years."  " "Even if I can be the general manager for one year, it will be good.  Shen Chong said enigmatically: "Zhang Guangdou is known for his stability among the three members of China Resources, but he is too stable. He not only wastes opportunities for himself, but also wastes opportunities for others. Business opportunities are fleeting, and we need someone with an adventurous spirit."?Leadership leads to success.  " Li Kaiyuan didn't know what was going on. She thought Shen Chong was talking about doing business with Taiwan. She frowned slightly and said, "Zhang Guangdou and I have a very happy cooperation. How can you guarantee that Zhang Xiancheng will be more beneficial to us after he becomes the general manager?  ?  Ning Ning¡¯s grandfather is not familiar with us, so am I just relying on your unreliable suggestion?  " "When doing business, favors are important, but interests are more important.  Shen Chong smiled like a fox and said: "The key to this business is not in the mainland, but in Taiwan. The mainland has opened its market to Taiwan, but Taiwan has never said that it will open its market to the mainland. Chiang Kai-shek's daily life  The ban on entering Taiwan has not been lifted yet.  As long as Zhang Xiancheng gives me a favor, I can go to Taiwan and help him lift the ban. This alone is a huge amount of political capital.  "
