Rebirth of the Industrial Tycoon

Li Weidong's family was invited to a reception room, waiting for Zhou Yunsheng's arrival.

Fruits, melon seeds and snacks were placed on the table, and a welcome banner was hung on the wall, arranged like a tea party.

Zhou Yunxiu looked very nervous, with a restless look, and looked out the door from time to time.

Zhou Yunxiu held a photo recently sent by Zhou Yunsheng in her hand, and couldn't help but ask, "Why isn't Yunsheng here yet! Can't I find a place?"

"Comrade Zhou Yunxiu, don't worry, eat some fruit first. We have already sent someone to wait at the toll booth of the provincial highway. As long as Mr. Zhou Yunsheng's car passes by, he can bring it over immediately, and he won't lose it." Hong Chunlai explained from the side. road.

"There won't be anything wrong on this road? If there is any toll Roadhog, it doesn't matter if you lose something, don't hurt anyone." Zhou Yunxiu said with a worried look.

Hong Chunlai smiled helplessly and said, "Don't worry, no matter how bold the car bandit Roadhog is, he wouldn't dare to rob the car of a Taiwan compatriot!"

"From Shanghai City to our Qinghe, is it easy to walk on the road? Don't go halfway and the car breaks down?" Zhou Yunxiu said again.

"Comrade Zhou Yunxiu, you can rest assured on this point. The big city of Shanghai has much richer experience in receiving compatriots from Hong Kong, Taiwan and overseas Chinese than us. They will definitely send a good car to pick them up, maybe better than the car of our city leaders. It's all good!" Hong Chunlai explained patiently.

Li Dengke also said, "Don't nagging, you can't wait honestly? The comrades of the Hong Kong and Taiwan Affairs Office have been sending people to watch! There will be no problem."

"It's not your brother, of course you're not in a hurry!" Zhou Yunxiu complained.

Li Weidong had no choice but to persuade: "Mom, don't worry, I'll be here soon!"

At this moment, the sound of a car came from a distance, and Li Weidong looked out the window and saw three cars slowly approaching. The three cars were parked in front of the building, and a man got off the middle car. Li Weidong took a closer look and found it was his uncle Zhou Yunsheng.

"Mom, my uncle is here!" Li Weidong said.

Zhou Yunxiu immediately stood up and walked quickly to the door, just as Zhou Yunsheng just came over.

The two were stunned for a moment, and the next second rushed towards each other at the same time.

"Yunsheng!"

"sister!"

The siblings hugged each other and cried.

Hong Chunlai immediately gave a wink to the clerk beside him. The clerk understood, took a camera and took pictures of the two of them. The siblings reunited after being separated for 40 years. Such a touching scene deserves to be written a report. It's a good publicity material.

The siblings cried for a long time, all four eyes were swollen from crying, and then they stopped.

"Sister, this is my wife Su Qian." Zhou Yunsheng pulled Su Qian over.

"Hello sister, hello brother-in-law." Su Qian said quickly.

Zhou Yunxiu also called the brothers Li Weidong and Li Weimin over and introduced them to Zhou Yunsheng and his wife.

At the end of the confession time, Hong Chunlai stood up and said a few words that didn't hurt or itch. After all, as an official representative, he always had to say a few words at this time.

Finally, Hong Chun finished speaking, and then asked: "Mr. Zhou, you are tired of traveling from Shanghai to Qinghe. Are you going to go to your sister's house next, or go to the hotel to rest first?"

"Of course I'm going home!" Zhou Yunxiu said unquestionably.

"Yes, we are not tired, go home first!" Zhou Yunsheng nodded.

"Okay, I'll send a car to take you there." Hong Chun said, winking at the people around him.

Li Weidong opened his mouth and said, "Uncle, aunt, take my car with my parents! There are exactly five people. Director Hong,

Please send a car with my brother. "

"Alright." Hong Chunlai also knew that the two brothers and sisters hadn't seen each other for 40 years. They were finally reunited, and they definitely didn't want to be separated. And Li Weidong owns a car, so the Hong Kong and Taiwan Affairs Office of the province will send more cars.

"Mom, uncle, wait a moment, I'll drive the car over." Li Weidong said, trotting all the way to drive his big blue bird.

After a while, the big blue bird came over, and Zhou Yunsheng and his wife also came out of the reception room.

Li Weidong got out of the car, helped open the door, and said, "Mom, uncle, let's get in the car!"

Su Qian looked up and said in her heart, "I'm familiar with this car, the Nissan Bluebird. I also bought this car at home, but it's black. Well, why do you think this Bluebird is better than the one in my house? How about bigger?"

While thinking about it, Su Qian got into the car, sat in the back seat, stretched her legs, and there was still a lot of leg room.

"It's more spacious than my Blue Bird!"

Su Qian looked inside the car again, saw the sunroof at a glance, and then saw the button for the electric lift window.

"There are sunroofs and electric lift windows, and there is more space inside. This must be a high-end version of the Bluebird!"

Thinking of this, Su Qian asked subconsciously, "Wei Dong, your car still has a sunroof, is it electric?"

"It's electric." Li Weidong smiled slightly, and then said, "This is the best bluebird, and we don't have a few in the province."

"Sure enough!" Su Qian nodded silently, secretly thinking in her heart, the elder sister's family, in order to entertain themselves, also made a lot of money, and even borrowed such a good car, at least better than his engineer cousin. Much stronger, when I was in Shanghai a few days ago, my cousin just found a taxi.

Thinking of this, Su Qian opened her mouth and said to Zhou Yunxiu, who had just gotten in the car: "Sister, you really bothered me, and I even borrowed a car to pick us up."

"Borrow a car?" Zhou Yunxiu was still immersed in the joy of reuniting her siblings, but she didn't realize what Su Qian meant for a while.

On the contrary, Mr. Li Dengke, who was sitting in the co-pilot, said with a condescending expression: "Brother and sister, this car is not borrowed, but ours."

"My own?" Su Qian was stunned subconsciously. With Su Qian's knowledge of the mainland, it is impossible for ordinary people to afford a private car, let alone a high-end imported car.

"Wei Dong bought it with money. It's been three or four years since he bought it. When he bought it, he spent more than 300,000 yuan!" Li Dengke quickly showed off.

The wife's maiden family must not show weakness, of course, how to have face!

Su Qian opened her mouth slightly and calculated roughly how much 300,000 RMB is equivalent to US dollars and Taiwan dollars.

"In this way, it's really much more expensive than my bluebird. What's the situation, didn't Yunsheng say that his sister's family is poor and living conditions are not good. How can the car be more expensive than my family's!"

When the vehicle started, Li Weidong said, "Our house is not far from here, and it takes ten minutes to drive there."

Li Weidong was driving in front, and Zhou Yunxiu was sitting in the back row, chatting with his uncle Zhou Yunsheng about the life he had experienced over the years. Li Dengke and Su Qian sat there, completely speechless.

Getting closer and closer to the Li's courtyard, Li Dengke finally found an opportunity to interject.

"Yunsheng, brother and sister, our house is right in front, turn east and you're there." Li Dengke said.

Zhou Yunxiu said, "Yunsheng, just stay at home tonight. I have already tidy up the room for you. The sheets and quilts are all new."

As soon as she heard that she wanted to live at home, Su Qian suddenly complained in her heart. She thought of her engineer cousin, a family of seven who lived in a small house of more than 60 square meters, not to mention how bad the living environment was. If you turn around a little bit, you can run into people.

Moreover, it was still Shanghai City, a first-class big city in the mainland, and the living environment was so poor. How could one live in a poor place like Qinghe!

So Su Qian said, "Sister, it's too much trouble for you to live at home. It's better for Yunsheng and I to stay in a hotel. Anyway, your Hong Kong and Taiwan offices here have already booked a hotel room for us."

"Since everyone has arrived home, why are you still staying in a hotel! It's better to stay at home. And our home is also big enough for you to live." Li Dengke persuaded with a smile.

"My cousin said at the time that his place was large, but it was less than twenty pings. The place you said was large, it was estimated to be twenty pings!" Su Qian secretly thought.

So Su Qian shied away: "Actually, Yun Sheng always snores when he sleeps. I'm afraid it will disturb your rest, so let's stay in a hotel!"

"Snoring? Yunsheng, I remember you didn't have this problem before, is it a bad trachea?" Zhou Yunxiu asked quickly.

Zhou Yunsheng knew that his wife was deliberately making excuses to evade him, so he could only smile awkwardly and explain: "After all, if I am a teacher, I have to talk all day, so I have a little bronchitis."

"I think it's the wife's strict control!" Li Weidong secretly thought.

Then Li Weidong turned on the signal, left the main road, turned to the area of ​​the city's self-built houses, and finally stopped in front of his own courtyard.

"Uncle, aunt!" Li Weidong pointed to the gate of the courtyard, and then said, "We're here!"

Su Qian got out of the car and looked at the two quaint large wooden doors with round nails on them, and the two Jiaotu door buttons were made of copper with a metallic luster.

Looking at the courtyard wall again, it was painted white, and it was more than 20 meters long by visual inspection.

"Sister, is this our house?" Zhou Yunsheng pointed at the door in disbelief.

"Isn't it our house! Come on, come in and have a rest." Zhou Yunxiu said hello.

Su Qian, who was next to him, nodded suddenly and said, "I have seen this situation in Shanghai too. There are many old-fashioned small western-style buildings inhabited by several families. It is so big that there should be four or five families living in it. ?"

"Brother and sister, this is our own home, where are there four or five households? Let's live as a family! Let's stop standing outside and go to the living room to rest." Li Dengke showed off again.

In front of the wife's family, you must earn enough face!

After all, Su Qian is a young lady from a wealthy family. She is somewhat knowledgeable. As soon as she walked in the door, she was shocked to find that it turned out to be a second-class courtyard!

"Sister, your house is quite big, how many square meters does it have?" Su Qian asked subconsciously.

"I don't know this, I have to ask Weidong." Zhou Yunxiu turned around and asked Li Weidong, "How old is our house?"

"Eight hundred square meters with a house and a courtyard!" Li Weidong replied with a smile.

"The 800 square meters of the mainland is almost 250 square meters!" Su Qian immediately came to a conclusion.

250 ping, a mansion, an absolute mansion!

Su Qian has always felt that her 70-square-meter villa is already relatively large. But compared with the 250-ping courtyard, it is not as big as the courtyard!

"Didn't Yunsheng say that his sister's family is poor, and the housing conditions must be very difficult? What's going on with this second-class courtyard? You call a 250-square-meter mansion difficult?"

Su Qian was in a mess, followed behind Zhou Yunsheng and walked into the living room.

After entering the living room, Su Qian immediately looked around.

21-inch color TV, yes!

There is an air conditioner hanging on the wall!

Stereo loudspeakers, too!

"This speaker sounds familiar. Why does it look like the imported speaker that I didn't want to buy last year!" Su Qian couldn't help but glance at the imported speaker.

"It seems to be the imported stereo that I didn't want to buy! Didn't Yunsheng say that his sister's family was poor? How come there are even high-end imported stereos!"

"Brother and sister, sit down, I'll pour you some tea!" Li Dengke greeted.

Su Qian nodded, then sat on a wooden chair.

"This is red sandalwood!" Su Qian came from a wealthy family, and quickly recognized the material of the chair.

"Red sandalwood furniture, this kind of red sandalwood furniture, only forty or fifty years ago must be used by wealthy and big families! Didn't Yunsheng say that life is hard for my sister? Using red sandalwood furniture is called life hardship. ?"

At this time, Li Dengke came over with a set of tea sets, and then made tea for Zhou Yunsheng and his wife.

"The purple clay pot is a set of eleven pieces. It looks like an old item in color, like the set of heirlooms in my house." Su Qian recognized the tea set in Li Dengke's hand.

Su Qian's family also has a set of purple clay pots, which his father kept for his brother as a family heirloom.

"What the hell is going on here, didn't Yun Sheng say that his sister's family is poor!"

Before that, Zhou Yunsheng had given various vaccinations, saying that Qinghe was a poor place, the living conditions of her sister’s house were not good, the living environment was poor, etc. Su Qian had already prepared herself to face her sister and brother-in-law who were living in poverty, with yellow faces and thin muscles. nephew, and an old house that lacks bricks and tiles.

However, after coming to Qinghe, what Su Qian saw was a high-end version of the Big Blue Bird, an 800-square-meter courtyard, imported stereos that she was not willing to buy, red sandalwood furniture, and an antique Zisha teapot.

All this is completely different from what Zhou Yunsheng said before!

In my impression, my sister who lives in poverty is richer than her own family!

Thinking of this, Su Qian quickly looked around the TV and made sure that Li Weidong didn't buy a VCR at home.

"Fortunately, there is no video recorder, otherwise this gift will not be sent!" Su Qian secretly thought.

...

Everyone exchanged a few words in the living room, and Li Weidong's sisters also got off work one after another and came to the new house.

Then Zhou Yunxiu introduced several daughters and sons-in-law to Zhou Yunsheng.

The family was happy and it was finally time to eat.

At this time, Li Weidong's sisters were busy in the kitchen.

"I'll go and see how the dishes are doing." Zhou Yunxiu stood up and went to the kitchen.

Zhou Yunsheng gave Su Qian a wink, and Su Qian also stood up and said, "Sister, I'll help you."

"No, you sit down and drink tea, how can you help the cook!" Zhou Yunxiu said quickly.

"It's okay, I'm used to cooking at home." Su Qian followed Zhou Yunxiu into the kitchen.

Cold dishes, hot dishes and soup dishes are almost ready, and they are all placed on the kitchen table, covered with plates to keep warm.

"Are the dishes ready?" Zhou Yunxiu answered.

"Mom, there are two more soups!" The eldest sister Li Chunhong replied.

Su Qian's eyes were sharp, and she saw the air fryer in the kitchen at a glance.

"Sister, is that an air fryer?" Su Qian asked.

"It's called this name. Wei Dong got it. It's not as convenient as frying, so I don't usually use it." Zhou Yunxiu replied.

"There are even air fryers that are popular recently in the United States!" Su Qian felt hit again.

This air fryer, which Su Qian saw at Mrs. Wang's house next door, is said to be a popular new product in the United States.

Su Qian originally wanted a friend to buy one from the United States, but when she inquired about it, this air fryer cost more than $500 in the United States. When she heard the price, Su Qian dispelled the idea of ​​purchasing it.

Unexpectedly, the air fryer that I was not willing to buy turned out to be in the house of a poor sister in the mainland, and it was still there to eat ashes.

At this time, Zhou Yunxiu continued: "Brother and sister, if you like it, I will give you one when you leave."

"Sister, this thing is too precious, I can't have it." Su Qian quickly said politely, but she still wanted it very much.

However, Zhou Yunxiu said, "It's okay, it's just an electric cooker! You can take a few more and give them to relatives and friends. I'll ask Wei Dong to bring them to you tomorrow!"

"How many more?" Su Qian was slightly taken aback.

An air fryer costing more than 500 dollars is not willing to buy one. When it comes to Zhou Yunxiu's mouth, it is like Chinese cabbage, and it is sold by the weight!

These words do not hurt much, but are extremely insulting!

...

Finally, the family walked to the table.

After three rounds of drinking, the chat between everyone is no longer so restrained.

"Weidong, I heard that you built a factory and became the director of the factory yourself? Has the mainland's policy been open enough that you can set up your own factory?" Zhou Yunsheng asked.

"There are already many self-employed individuals in the mainland, and future policies will become more and more open, and private enterprises will grow stronger in the future!" Li Weidong said.

"Then what's the size of your factory?" Zhou Yunsheng asked.

"There are less than 300 workers now. The factory has just been added. I plan to expand the number of workers to 500 workers." Li Weidong replied.

Zhou Yunsheng nodded: "The scale of an enterprise with 500 workers is not small! Since this enterprise can expand, it means that the benefits are not bad, right?"

"The benefits are very good. Our factory is mainly engaged in foreign trade business. We take orders from foreign businessmen from the Canton Fair, produce them and sell them to foreign countries." Li Weidong replied.

"International trade is good, and the profits are really high!" Zhou Yunsheng then asked, "Then how many orders can your factory receive in a year?"

"At the Canton Fair in April, we received an order of 22 million." Li Weidong replied.

"Twenty-two million yuan? That's quite a lot, equivalent to Taiwan dollars..." Zhou Yunsheng began to do mental arithmetic.

However, Li Weidong interrupted Zhou Yunsheng's mental calculation: "Uncle, it is 22 million US dollars! The transactions at the Canton Fair are all calculated in US dollars."

"Dollar!" Zhou Yunsheng was suddenly surprised.

Twenty-two million dollars! For Zhou Yunsheng, it was an astronomical number!

An order of 220,000 US dollars, even if it is a 10% profit, is 2.2 million US dollars, and Zhou Yunsheng can't make so much money as a university professor for a lifetime.

Mr. Li Dengke also deliberately showed off his son. He said, "Wei Dong is still on Hong Kong Island and has partnered with others to open a company."

"Is there a company on Hong Kong Island?" Zhou Yunsheng was even more shocked.

"The company on Hong Kong Island is mainly engaged in some patent operation business, and it doesn't make much money. It is two or three million a year!" Li Weidong replied.

"Two or three million Hong Kong dollars is a lot." Zhou Yunsheng said subconsciously.

"Uncle, these two or three million dollars are also US dollars!" Liu Weidong said.

Zhou Yunsheng's brain crashed instantly!

Su Qian subconsciously touched her pocket and found the red envelope containing three hundred dollars.

Zhangkou is a big business with several million or tens of millions of dollars. How can I have the nerve to get this red envelope of three hundred dollars!

...

In the end, Zhou Yunsheng and Su Qian did not go to the hotel, but stayed in the guest room of the courtyard house.

In the room, the TV and air conditioner are all equipped, and there is a separate toilet next to it.

Su Qian touched the bed in the guest room and confirmed that it was from Huanghuali.

There will be no huanghuali beds in the hotel.

"Yunsheng? Didn't I say that your sister's family is poor? What's going on? Drive an imported luxury car, live in such a big courtyard house, use rosewood furniture, the kitchen has the latest American appliances, and even the guest room is full of Use the huanghuali bed!" Su Qian said.

"This, how did I know!" Zhou Yunsheng continued with an embarrassed expression: "How could I have thought that my nephew is so promising, and he is doing big business with tens of millions of dollars!"

"I always thought that my Su family was a big family, but now it looks like it's nothing compared to your Zhou family!" Su Qian said with a sneer: "Zhou Yunsheng, what else are you hiding from me? Hurry up. From the real trick, you must not want to go to bed tonight!"
