Chapter 1250 Expansion

Kowloon, pier.

A small cargo ship slowly docked under the surveillance of two patrol boats.

This kind of small cargo ship is a special means of transportation between the two places. Large ships are not allowed to enter the Xiangjiang side, and small ships carry too little cargo.

We can only use this kind of cargo ship, which comes every one or two days. Sometimes we will make an emergency trip when the goods are sold out.

As for the two patrol boats, they are security measures on the Xiangjiang side.

At this moment, there were seven or eight people standing on each patrol boat.

Although their faces were serious, they were full of smiles.

If it were in the past, there would be a mixed bag of fish and dragons in Kowloon, with all kinds of people there. Those who looked at the ponds didn't have much to gain, and they didn't dare to provoke these people, so they just pretended.

But things are different now.

Although I don't know what those guys in Britain thought, so they recognized the management rights of the north here, but they actually sent people to take charge here.

Not only did he manage it, he managed it well.

In just a few months, the originally chaotic situation was cured, and the soil of the original association was cleaned up.

People who know the news say that there are several tough guys here, all former Ouchi guards, who have done extraordinary things to clean up the snakes, insects, rats and ants inside, turning Kowloon into a harmonious community.

This made everyone realize that the big country in the north has been paying attention to this place.

The most direct change is that Xiangjiang has recognized the status of traditional Chinese medicine. Nowadays, some traditional Chinese medicine practitioners have begun to operate in Xiangjiang. Secret recipes such as distilled wine and golden sore medicine are cheap and effective, and are popular among major associations. favor.

The good living environment also makes the settlers here feel more calm. Some shops, barbershops, etc. are open normally, which is much better than being harassed by associations in other places.

I heard that people here are preparing to open a branch in Tsim Sha Tsui and are currently discussing it.

However, given the current situation, as long as it is a legal businessman, this matter can be accomplished in all likelihood.

At that time, this place will be a center for the collection and transfer of supplies, and then distributed to all parts of Xiangjiang. It can be expected that this place will definitely flourish in the future.

The ship was parked at the pier, and according to the agreement, people on the ship were not allowed to get off. The workers at the pier were responsible for moving the things themselves.

A Niu and others stood aside, waiting for the ship to dock, and immediately waved people to carry the goods.

Most of them are fresh fruits, and some mutton cooked in flour. In addition, there are rice cookers, pressure cookers and other goods.

At this moment, Wei Ge threw the prepared gifts onto the patrol boat.

They chatted eagerly to the visitors. People like them, who used to be part of gangs, knew all about this.

The man on the patrol boat smiled and took the package.

There are just little things in there, and everyone understands them.

Because the other party will not give money, and it involves a matter of principle, well, the other party's principles.

Although it is a small thing, it is a popular product in Xiangjiang and is deeply loved by the public.

You can take these things back and use them at home. If you don't want to use them, you can quickly exchange them for cash.

For this reason, they specially carried out shifts in order to share the benefits equally.

"Come and help, there's a big guy here."

Suddenly Aniu's voice was heard on the ship, and the person in charge of transport was helping to push it out.

Wei Ge waved to a few people, and after establishing a good relationship, he hurried over.

After a while, three or five people carried a large wooden box out, then went in again, and moved it three times in a row before finally emptying the warehouse.

At this time, Xiao Qi came over with someone carrying a wooden box.

The people on the patrol boat came closer, first shined a flashlight on the box, and then glanced at the toys in Xiao Qi's hands.

"Brother, take it back and play with your children at home."

As he spoke, he shook the aircraft model, and the people on the patrol boat smiled coquettishly, and then drove the patrol boat aside.

Xiao Qi waved his hand, put the things into the cabin, and then left with the ship.

When the boat disappeared into the night, Alicai, who was beside Li San, asked carefully, "Brother Third, what do you want these toys for?"

"It's the same plane every time, and many of them are the same. Can't we just change them?"

"Just say a few words. The higher-ups have their own considerations. Let's just do the work."

Li San didn't know the specific situation. He just received a notice from Aunt Rong that any toys handed over to him must be handed over intact as soon as possible.

In this regard, Li San suspected that important secrets might be hidden in these toys.

"Yes!"

Ali replied, and Li San thought of something else, "The higher ups will send some people in the near future. They are all good people. You can make arrangements at that time."

"Now the stall is getting bigger and bigger, we have to be prepared."

Hearing this, Ali nodded quickly. Only with people, the safety here can be guaranteed.

"Go and have a look."

Without thinking any more, he looked at the unloaded goods in front and walked ahead.

Soon, the goods on the dock were sorted and categorized. Most of the products had been here before, and everyone knew where to put them.

Only the remaining four large boxes are a bit confusing and I don't know how to put them.

Li San was curious on the side, walked around the box twice, and then took the delivery note from Wei Ge on the side.

After looking through it twice, I finally found the information on the box.

After taking a look, even though there was only a name, it made his face light up.

"Open it quickly, this is a good thing!"

After hearing this, A Niu and others immediately picked up the crowbar and stepped forward, prying open the wooden box with two clicks.

"Third brother, what's inside?"

Ali was curious, so Li San handed over the order and stepped forward to help.

Ali glanced at it and immediately joined in the disassembly.

Ten minutes later, a motorcycle stopped in front of everyone.

This is a very novel motorcycle, longer and taller than they have ever seen.

The slender body looks well-proportioned and powerful, and when parked there, it has a metallic mechanical beauty.

The light shines on the front, with fiery red as the base tone and blue edges. There are horses woven with golden auspicious patterns on both sides of the fuel tank, and the word "Fierce Horse" is written on it.

Everyone around them gathered around, a group of men who were not sleepy at all, their eyes full of heat.

The next day, when people in Kowloon were busy with their daily lives, a very special motorcycle appeared around. It attracted enough attention without any deliberate publicity.

Involuntarily, I started to inquire about Liema motorcycles.

Not only that, Li San originally thought of giving the remaining three motorcycles to a few well-known figures for free advertising.

But Gu Qingqing said that all these famous figures have special cars and drivers, and if they don’t drive their cars, who will ride a motorcycle?

After waking up the dreamer, Li San realized that this motorcycle was a hot commodity in China, but in this materialistic city of Hong Kong, it was not a good thing for the rich.

After some consideration, Li San decided to learn from the great man’s mass line and set the motorcycle’s audience as middle-class people and community members.

He doesn't care who buys it, as long as real money can earn foreign exchange.

Soon, this strategy paid off.

After Li San reported the situation, the foreign trade comrades immediately handed over the order to the machinery factory and transferred part of the spot goods to be shipped there.     And this kind of decision has a very good effect.

In the following days, fierce horses began to appear on the streets of Xiangjiang. Big men drove in front, followed by young men on motorcycles, carrying guys on their shoulders, which made people feel majestic.

Similarly, some people also discovered business opportunities from motorcycles and began to attract people on the streets, allowing motorcycles to appear in Xiangjiang in advance, greatly alleviating traffic pressure.

At the same time, at the end of a street in Tsim Sha Tsui, firecrackers were crackling in front of a friendship store, indicating a good opening.

……

northwest

Second Machinery Branch.

Director Hong watched the workers busy in the workshop with a warm smile on his face, but his heart felt a little heavy.

Life in the northwest was uncomfortable even for a person like him who traveled all over the country and stayed there for a long time.

Not to mention these dolls coming out of Sijiu City.

These new workers, after receiving training at the main factory, only need to get used to it before they can take up their jobs.

It's just that most of these people are children in their late teens, no older than their own children.

Coming here at such a young age, with the wind blowing and the sand blowing, it is hard for these children.

"Team Leader Yan."

Director Hong walked to the engine installation production line, looked at Yan Jiefang who was working with two young people, and stepped forward to ask.

Yan Jiefang's face turned a little yellow, and his body looked thinner than before.

"Director."

Yan Jiefang heard the sound and looked immediately.

"Didn't I let you rest in the dormitory? Why are you here again?"

Director Hong's expression changed and he spoke very harshly.

He had heard that the person in front of him lived in the same courtyard as Yang Xiaotao.

But he didn't hold any prejudice against him because of this matter. He understood Yang Xiaotao. There may be some nepotism in hiring people, but he would never send incompetent people.

Since someone sent it here, it must be something special.

And this Yan Jiefang's performance proves this point.

The increase in manpower has made management stretched.

He could only choose someone with authority from among the strangers to take the lead, then conduct an inspection and assign them.

After some selection, Yan Jiefang was found to be a solid worker, a man of few words but a hard worker, and the comrades around him were willing to work with him.

So let him be a team leader and lead others to work together.

Just because of personal physical reasons, many people come here and become acclimatized, and Yan Jiefang is one of them.

"Director, I know this well. I'll be fine after a little sleep."

"The workshop is so busy right now, we can't hold back."

Yan Jiefang smiled. Ever since he left Sijiu City, he told himself that he had to rely on himself for everything.

At the same time, he also silently set a goal in his heart. He must return to his hometown in glorious clothes in the future, and he must go back and tell Brother Tao that he has not embarrassed the courtyard.

And this is also the common sentiment of people who come from courtyard houses.

"You, you guys."

Director Hong listened and looked at the people around him, all of whom were insisting.

These children are the future wealth of the machinery factory.

Now the Second Machinery Factory is on the right track, and the tractors and tricycles it produces have been sold to various franchise countries in the northwest, greatly easing the pressure on the main factory.

All in all, things are looking great.

And all of this is based on the hard work of the workers. After all, compared with the main factory, the proportion of machine tools here is still too small.

"Director, don't worry, if I really feel bad, I will run back to the dormitory by myself."

Yan Jiefang's slightly dry lips were cracked, but there was stubbornness in his eyes.

Director Hong took a deep breath and said, "Okay, pay attention to yourself."

After that, he walked out of the workshop.

After Director Hong left, Yan Jiefang was about to lower his head to work when a figure came quickly from a distance.

"Liberation, what did the factory director tell you just now?"

Yan Jiefang glanced sideways, then lowered his head and continued working, "Comrade Liu Haizhong, it is working time now, please return to your post."

Hearing this, Liu Haizhong smiled and left quickly.

Now, he doesn't dare to provoke Yan Jiefang. When this kid comes here, he seems to be a different person. He is evil.

After Liu Haizhong left, Yan Jiefang sneered. He couldn't understand this second uncle when he was in the courtyard.

He usually likes to put on airs, but when people like him come here, he still wants to use the airs of the second uncle to boss them around. It's just a dream.

I really think that I am still the second uncle of the courtyard.

Here, who cares who is in your bangs.

By the way, after all, I was a formal worker in the machinery factory, and Liu Haizhong was just here for labor reform. Their statuses were incomparable.

On the other side, after Director Hong left the workshop, Fangyuan hurried over.

Since the merger of the two factories, Fangyuan has given up direct leadership of the workshop and concentrated on logistics matters.

The two factories have a gate in the middle of the wall for easy entry and exit.

The current manufacturing plant workshop has also become an engine production workshop, and the original workers also enjoy the high welfare benefits of the machinery factory.

"Lao Hong!"

Fangyuan shouted from afar and ran to him quickly.

"Lao Hong, good news, good news."

Director Hong showed his big teeth after hearing this, "What's the good news? Could it be that the steel factory agreed?"

"I really can't hide anything from you."

Fang Yuan smiled and touched her gray hair, "I went to talk to them this time. As soon as I told them my intention, they agreed."

"Obviously waiting for us."

In fact, it goes without saying that Director Hong knows what is going on. The situation of the steel plant here is similar to that of the previous No. 2 Manufacturing Plant. Most of the production capacity cannot be released. The factory has no tasks and the workers have nothing to do. How can they have money to support them?

Therefore, merging into the machinery factory is their best choice.

"This is a good thing. I will report to the main factory. You can also communicate with Lao Wang and the others. We will ask the steel factory to submit the application form according to the original regulations, and we will get it done quickly and implement it as soon as possible."

"Now that we have our own steel mill, it will be easy for us to use it."

"Yes, yes, I'll go find Chief Wang right now."

With that said, the two separated again and were busy reporting the situation.
