The flowers in the factory of rebirth are too fierce

Lin Zhiyuan understood Zhou Tian's feelings very well, because the process of Shenzhou joining the World Trade Organization (WTO) was really too long and difficult. In the whole world, no country spent so much time and energy to join the WTO as Shenzhou did.

Since July 1986, China has formally applied to resume its status as a contracting party to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), the predecessor of the World Trade Organization. Since then, China has negotiated almost every year, but has always failed for one reason or another.

In 1995, after the establishment of the World Trade Organization (WTO), the re-entry negotiations officially turned into WTO accession negotiations. China needed to conduct bilateral negotiations with 37 WTO members, of which the China-US negotiations lasted 25 rounds, which was the most difficult part. Ordinary people could not imagine how much grievance and sadness China suffered and how many concessions it made.

It was not until November 1999, 11 that China and the United States signed the bilateral market access agreement on China's accession to the World Trade Organization in Yanjing, marking the removal of the last obstacle to China's accession to the WTO.

The countdown to China's accession to the WTO has officially begun.

Lin Zhiyuan patted the back of Zhou Tian's hand and said, "Brother Tian, ​​be patient. I guess Shenzhou will be able to officially join the WTO either this year or next year. By then, you and Brother Xie will be even busier."

"Zhiyuan, I believe you. I must hurry up and acquire a few more factories." Upon hearing what Lin Zhiyuan said, Zhou Tian's eyes lit up, as if he saw a mountain of gold in front of him.

After having the reunion dinner at the International Hotel, the three families returned to Jing Hua Yuan and continued with the same old routine: playing mahjong, watching the Spring Festival Gala, and making dumplings.

The biggest feature of this year's Spring Festival Gala is the bid for the Olympic Games, because China decided to formally submit an application to the International Olympic Committee for the 2008 Olympic Games in 2001.

Halfway through the Spring Festival Gala, the two hosts led some of the world champions from the 2000 Olympic Games to greet the people of the country, creating a small climax to the evening.

At around 11 o'clock in the evening, Uncle Zhao, who was eagerly awaited by the people in the north, appeared on the stage. This year he performed a very famous sketch in the history of the Spring Festival Gala, "Selling Crutch".

The skit was very funny and made everyone laugh.

After the skit ended, the sound of firecrackers outside became noticeably louder.

Lin Zhiyuan carried Asu, who was drowsy but still holding on, out of the villa.

Zhou Hai lit a string of firecrackers with a burst of 100,000 bangs, and the entire Mirror of Flowers was drowned out by the sound of firecrackers.

Lin Zhiyuan took a breath of the cold air with a strong smell of gunpowder. It was obvious that the New Year in the Northeast was more festive than in Guangzhou and Yanjing.

******

Early in the morning on the first day of the New Year, the Lin and Su families drove three cars to Tangmazhai to pay New Year's greetings to their uncle and aunt, and had another feast and drink to their heart's content.

The New Year celebrations in Northeast China are nothing more than eating, drinking, visiting relatives and friends, and playing mahjong.

However, judging from the banquet, the living standards of the two families have obviously improved. In previous years, the banquet was mainly meat, with chicken, duck and fish as the main dishes. This year, there are several more seafood dishes on the table, including prawns and crabs.

The second generation of the Lin family is now promising. Relying on the vegetable business, the lives of the uncle and aunt are getting more and more prosperous. They have already become the richest people in Tangmazhai. From everyone's mental state, it can be seen that they are full of confidence in the future.

Halfway through lunch, the secretary and mayor of Tangmazhai came over with gifts to wish everyone a happy new year.

There was no need for anyone to tip off. There were so many nice cars parked in front of the Lin family's gate. No need to ask, it must be that Lin Zhiyuan, the high-ranking official of the Lin family in Yanjing, had returned.

In response to the visit of the two officials, Lin Zhiyuan also expressed moderate enthusiasm, invited the secretary and the mayor to take a seat, and everyone drank two glasses together.

After the two leaders found out about Lin Zhiyuan's current position, they became even more respectful. They patted their chests and told Lin Zhiyuan that the town had already regarded vegetable cultivation as the top priority of Tangmazhai, and the brothers Lin Sheng and Lin Li were the leaders in getting rich in Tangmazhai, and the town would spare no effort to support them.

The secretary and the mayor were very discerning and knew it was a family dinner, so they drank two glasses of wine and then bowed and took their leave.

That night, the whole family lived in the small buildings of the uncle and aunt respectively.

After dinner, Dong Xiaoshu specifically sought out Lin Zhiyuan to chat for a while.

Dong Xiaoshu is living a very comfortable life now. He has become as fat as a ball. The boy who was as thin as a bamboo pole is long gone.

Now the taxi market in Ge'an has become stable. The era of huge profits in the 1990s has ended, but Hongye Taxi is still the leader in the Ge'an taxi market. Relying on its size, it still has very good income every year.

Dong Xiaoshu is very content with his current life, and his words and actions reveal his gratitude to Lin Zhiyuan.

After staying in Tangmazhai for one night, the next morning, after breakfast, the Lin family set out again and headed straight to Dadaowan to visit grandma and aunt's family.

My aunt's family is living a good life now. My aunt Ning Xiuqin and my uncle Xue Baichang opened a small supermarket in the village. They have a stable life, which is not as good as others but better than most.

Thanks to Lin Zhiyuan's connections, my eldest brother-in-law Guo Shun set up a small transport team and earned more than 200,000 yuan a year by doing engineering work for Ge Gang.

My second brother-in-law Zhang Fan was originally a worker at the refractory materials factory in Tiexi District. Later, the refractory materials factory was not doing well and Zhang Fan was laid off. Lin Zhiyuan used his connections to transfer him to Gegang. He first worked in the Life Cooperation Center. Later, after Lin Zhiyuan went to Yangcheng, he transferred him to the New Materials Company.

To put it bluntly, Lin Zhiyuan is the great benefactor of this family.

Now my aunt's family has also built a two-story house. In Dadaowan, they are considered a well-off family.

So as soon as the Lin family's convoy stopped at the door, Ning Xiuqin, Xue Baichang, eldest sister Xue Yan, eldest brother-in-law Guo Shun, second sister Xue Feng, second brother-in-law Zhang Fan, and their children all rushed out when they heard the noise.

Aunt Ning Xiuqin held Lin Zhiyuan's hand tightly and refused to let go. "Zhiyuan, you haven't been back for three years. Your grandma misses you so much. She keeps talking about you."

Lin Zhiyuan felt very guilty. In the past three years, he had returned to Ge'an more than once, but it was always due to work and he was in a hurry, so he really never came to see his grandma.

"Aunt, take me to see grandma. I'll kowtow to her."

Lin Zhiyuan followed his aunt into the house.

Grandma was sitting on the kang, her back leaning against the pillow, arranging small cards!

As soon as Lin Zhiyuan entered the house, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times in a proper manner, "Grandma, Happy New Year! Your grandson wishes you a happy new year."

Grandma scattered the small cards in her hand all over the kang and hurriedly got off the kang, "Is Zhiyuan back? Let grandma take a look."

Grandma spoke very loudly.

Lin Zhiyuan was pulled up by his aunt. He walked quickly to the kang and held his grandmother's hand. "Grandma, I am so unfilial. I haven't been able to visit you for such a long time!"

Grandma smiled, stretched out her hand like dry bark, stroked Lin Zhiyuan's face, and said loudly: "My grandson is back, grandma missed you so much."

The sound was so loud that Lin Zhiyuan's eardrums buzzed.
