With the joint efforts of Heihe and Bu City, the border trade between the two countries was scheduled to start on New Year's Day in 1986, on Daheihe Island in the middle of the river.

The Longjiang International Hotel, jointly invested and constructed by Tengyue Trading Company and Heihe Finance Bureau, has already been completed and is scheduled to open on December 27th.

Of course, before opening, the hotel has already entered the trial operation stage.

According to the original agreement with the Finance Bureau, the employees of the hotel are basically family members of the Finance Bureau.

Sheng Xiping hired a general manager and two department managers from the port city with a high salary, and trained the employees for nearly a month.

Those who pass the assessment after training will be hired and assigned to various departments.

The warehouse has also been prepared. The tens of thousands of square meters of the warehouse are filled with wine, cans, and various light industrial products shipped from factories in the Northeast.

At the same time, Sheng Xiping also contacted Mao Zi's people in advance through Chen Ruiqing's channels.

As long as border trade is opened, both parties can conduct transactions directly on Daheihe Island.

Before the hotel opened, Sheng Xiping, Wu Yucheng and others took a plane to Bingcheng, and then transferred from Bingcheng to Heihe.

At the beginning, Sheng Xiping arranged for Zhang Zhijun's younger brother Zhang Zhiqiang, Pan Fusheng's younger brother Pan Desheng, Wang Dongcheng, and Sun Jinggang to be the persons in charge of Heihe.

He also selected a group of young, strong, and smart people from relatives in each family to be responsible for the storage and transportation of various materials.

Sun Jinggang received the news and drove to the Heihe Airport, which had been rebuilt and had just been in operation for more than a month, to pick him up.

"Mr. Sheng and Mr. Wu, the hotel rooms are already full. We can only accommodate you in our staff dormitories."

As soon as they met, Sun Jinggang quickly explained.

Recently, many foreigners have come to Heihe. They are all foreign merchants who have learned that border trade is about to open and come here to look for opportunities to make money.

When these people come, they need food and accommodation. There are not many local hotels and guest houses, so many people stay at the Longjiang Hotel, which has just opened for trial operation.

So before the hotel officially opens, the guest rooms are already full, and you have to wait in line to eat at the restaurant.

"The main reason is that in the past few days, officials from Buzhou across the river who came to negotiate have also stayed in our hotel.

A separate room was originally reserved for the two of them, but they occupied it. "

Sun Jinggang felt embarrassed that in his hotel, there was no place to stay when the boss came, so he had to live in the staff dormitory.

"It doesn't matter. You can live anywhere. The staff dormitories are also very good. Yu Cheng and I are not that particular."

Sheng Xiping was happy when he heard this. If the hotel was full, it meant that the business was good, and it also meant that their investment was in the right direction. What a good thing?

As for where they live, that is not a problem at all. They lived in Datongpu before, so what are they afraid of in the staff dormitories?

The airport is fifteen kilometers away from the city, so it doesn't take long to get there by car.

"Hey, this hotel is quite impressive." When Sun Jinggang drove into the hotel yard, Wu Yucheng looked out and praised.

The hotel occupies a large area, with a total of five or six buildings in front and behind.

When you enter the courtyard, you are faced with this four-story building, which is the hotel's lobby, restaurant, conference hall, entertainment room, etc.

The east and west buildings, as well as the one at the back, are guest rooms. Behind it are the staff dormitories, warehouse, laundry room, etc.

These are only the first phase of the project. In the spring of next year, rockeries, fountains, pavilions and other landscapes, as well as other supporting facilities, will be built.

The main reason is that Xu Guoxing and others were not so confident in the hotel's prospects before and did not dare to invest too much money at one time.

Of course, the hotel's business is booming now, and it is estimated that it will make a lot of money this winter. For the subsequent construction of the project, it is estimated that Teng Yue Company and the Finance Bureau will not need to spend much money.

The staff dormitory is in the building at the back. Sun Jinggang has reserved several rooms facing the sun. They have been cleaned up in advance and all the supplies are the same as those in the hotel.

Even though this is a dormitory, the conditions are much better than an ordinary guest house.

Sheng Xiping and Wu Yucheng each lived in a room, and several other entourage members shared a room.

Everyone settled down, took a short rest, and went to the warehouse to have a look in the afternoon.

The warehouse is just behind the hotel, in a separate courtyard. The courtyard wall is more than two meters high. It is blocked by No. 8 wire with iron caltrops horizontally and diagonally to prevent anyone from climbing in through the courtyard wall.

There were two large iron doors painted black, with a sign hanging on the side that said the warehouse was an important place and no one was allowed to enter.

As soon as Sun Jinggang, Sheng Xiping and the others approached, someone came out from the corner door next to them and looked outside warily.

When they saw that Sun Jinggang was bringing someone here, the people inside relaxed and quickly opened the corner door next to them.

"Manager Sun." The other party greeted Sun Jinggang.

Sun Jinggang took Sheng Xiping and Wu Yucheng into the courtyard and saw rows of tall warehouses, all equipped with heavy iron doors and sealed tightly.

The ventilation windows above are all equipped with iron bars. Without a key, there is no way to enter the warehouse.

A total of more than 60 warehouses have been built here, and a bungalow has been specially built on the other side, which is a place for everyone to live and eat.

There are 20 or 30 relatives of each family here, all of them are good young men. They have food and accommodation here, and they take turns on duty at night, killing two birds with one stone.

Zhang Zhiqiang and Pan Desheng were in charge of the warehouse. They met Sheng Xiping and hurriedly reported the stocking situation in the warehouse.

The warehouse is currently more than half full, and a lot of goods will be shipped in the near future. It is expected that more than ten warehouses can be installed.

Sheng Xiping walked around the warehouse twice and was very satisfied when he saw that everything was well arranged.

"Everyone has been working hard for the past six months. If we continue to persevere, the border trade will begin in a few days, and it will be a tough battle.

Don't worry, when we make money, we won't treat you guys badly. "

"Qiangzi, Desheng, arrange for people to buy some fish, meat, etc., and give everyone extra meals in the evening.

Eat well and rest well these days to recharge your batteries. "Sheng Xiping waved his hand and said loudly.

"Okay, thank you Brother Xiping." Upon hearing this, everyone cheered in unison.

"Brother Xiping, don't worry, we will definitely do our best and there won't be any mistakes."

When Sheng Xiping arrived in Heihe, he would definitely meet and chat with Xu Guoxing and others.

So he didn't stay in the warehouse for long. After chatting with everyone for a while, he returned to the hotel and called Xu Guoxing.

"Uncle-in-law, it's me, Xiping. I'm in Heihe today. Is my uncle free in the evening? I'll treat you to dinner."

On the other end of the phone, Xu Guoxing was extremely happy when he heard it was Sheng Xiping.

"Hey, the God of Wealth is here. When did he arrive? You didn't even tell me in advance. I'll arrange for someone to pick you up."

Even before the Longjiang Hotel opened, business was booming. Even those who came to negotiate from Bu City asked by name that they must stay at the Longjiang Hotel when they come to Heihe in the future.

The hotel is so prosperous and the business is booming. Can Xu Guoxing be unhappy?

Of course, when it comes to government reception, it is indispensable to keep accounts first and settle the accounts later.

To put it bluntly, it's just a white slip.

In those years, I don't know how many reception units were brought down just because of IOUs.
