Break out of the courtyard

After Director Wang agreed with Zhang Heping's suggestion, he contacted Capital Knitting Factory, borrowed 9 more sweater knitting machines, and applied to participate in the Autumn Canton Fair in October in the name of Capital Knitting Factory Nanluoguxiang Branch.

Then, the subdistrict office temporarily vacated two rooms for Ma Lili and Zhang Heping to teach 10 street women how to use sweater knitting machines.

The collar, sleeves, and subsequent splicing tasks will have to wait until Director Wang obtains white cloth, needle and thread, and then arrange for Ma Lili to teach other women with sewing machines to do it.

As for the candidates to go south to the Canton Fair, Comrade Ma Xiuzhen, the clerk, and his son Zhang Heping.

After Ma Xiuzhen learned that she could go south to Huadu, she laughed every day and went to see the progress of the 10 sweater women from time to time.

On September 9, the memorial hall in the main square was officially opened to the public. Countless people in the capital came to pay their respects. Zhang Heping and his family also queued for a long time.

On September 9, the 20 street women knitting sweaters finally completed 10 sweaters.

The main reason was that Zhang Heping was too picky and made them rework many defective parts.

Director Wang failed to contact the supplier of white cloth, so he had to ask his eldest cousin Ma Lili to make the collars, sleeves and splicing work for these 100 sweaters. Who knows that her family has many textile workers.

They are still not convinced!

As a result, Zhang Heping used a machine to knit one piece in half an hour and taught them how to make a human on the spot.

After leaving the family building of the Capital Knitting Factory, Zhang Heping said nonchalantly: "Forget it, they won't let us go to the branch factory, so my mother and I will go there by ourselves, and we can still sell at the entrance of the Canton Fair."

Zhang Heping said casually: "We still need someone to be the director of the Nanluoguxiang branch, so that the contract can be signed and sealed."

Especially since they still have thousands of kilograms of problematic wool thread!

Let’s not talk about whether the Capital Knitting Factory will sell to the small workshops run by the streets. If they do sign an order and sell it, they will also be greedy for placing orders. That is a real achievement.

I want to ask Zhang Heping and the others occupied the flight attendant's rest room, where did the flight attendant rest?

"You are the leader, and you have the final say. We will leave tonight with our official seal. If it is later, we won't be able to book a hotel!"

"Is it possible?" Director Wang was still hesitant, worried that it would not comply with the policy.

……

That night, Zhang Heping, his mother Ma Xiuzhen, and his eldest cousin Ma Lili each carried a bag and a bundle of clothes in each hand. Under the arrangement of the eldest and second sisters, they entered the flight attendant's soft sleeper rest room.

Afterwards, Zhang Heping called two rickshaws and went straight to Baiyun Hotel to try his luck to check in.

A group of people who have no jobs, are slow to learn skills, and still want to be paid according to the hours worked... What a beautiful idea!

On October 10, radio and newspapers suddenly reported the deeds of mathematician Chen in large areas.

emmm...this is an unplanned rest room, everyone understands!

Although Zhang Heping and his party did not have to squeeze into other carriages, there were too many people on the southbound train and the train could not speed up.

Zhang Heping speculated that this is a call to learn from scientists, and then promote technology as the primary productive force!

On the 9th, Zhang Heping followed Director Wang to the home of the director of the Capital Knitting Factory, but was told by the director's wife that the director went to study at School D. I wonder if he was avoiding them on purpose!

"I asked several departments. As a public official, your mother is not suitable to be the director of this branch factory. How about letting your cousin Ma Lili be the director?"

After Director Wang proposed to the Capital Knitting Factory to participate in the Canton Fair, the director of the Capital Knitting Factory only agreed to hand over the products to them and let their factory sell them at the Canton Fair.

Director Wang wanted to agree to this method, but Zhang Heping disagreed.

It was supposed to take 46 hours to arrive, but it was overloaded and ended up taking 3 days and 4 nights!

On the morning of the 13th, after Zhang Heping and his party got off the train, they first asked about the hotel near the station... Sorry, it was full!

Zhang Heping made a call to the guest house of Fucheng Machinery Factory based on his memory. It was also full, and it was replaced by an exhibitor team from Nanhu.

However, Zhang Heping paid Ma Lili 1 yuan for the work and materials per piece, while the processing fee for the 10 street women who knitted sweaters was 5 cents per piece.

By the way, during the Canton Fair, only Dongfang Hotel, Baiyun Hotel (the tallest building in the picture), Liuhua Hotel, and Huadu Hotel are open to foreign businessmen, and Chinese people are probably not allowed to stay there.

When Zhang Heping first came to attend the Canton Fair, he was turned away from the Huadu Hotel. He could only watch the Japanese businessmen move in, which made him very unhappy.

Later, when he came to Huadu to attend the Canton Fair, he had to abide by the rules and live with the group.

Now, the reason why he went to Baiyun Hotel to try his luck was because his wife Chen Shuting stayed there when she came to attend the Canton Fair.

The key is that this woman only checked into Baiyun Hotel the day before the Canton Fair.

The day before the opening of the Canton Fair has the largest number of people, and many foreign businessmen gather in Huadu at this time.

Why can Chen Shuting stay at Baiyun Hotel every time?

There is only one truth, she booked the room in advance!

No, after Zhang Heping entered the lobby of Baiyun Hotel with his mother and cousin who were full of novelty, he went straight to the front desk and asked in fluent Cantonese about the room booked by Tingmei Trading Company.

"Sir, during the Canton Fair, we only receive foreign businessmen!" Perhaps because she had received relevant etiquette training, the girl at the reception desk was quite polite.

Zhang Heping switched to Eagle Language, "I need to use your phone number to call the manager of Tingmei Trading Company on Hong Kong Island and ask if I can stay in the room they reserved, OK?"

This year, he could speak Eagle Language and had a standard Cambridge accent, which made the little girl at the front desk feel unconfident. She apologized first and then called their foreman to report it.

Soon, a capable female foreman walked over quickly.

"Sorry, sir!" The female foreman walked to the front desk, stood next to Zhang Heping, quickly glanced at the clothes and luggage of Zhang Heping and others, and said with a gentle smile: "Excuse me, what is your relationship with Tingmei Trading Company in Hong Kong Island? "

By talking about a relationship, doesn't it reveal that he is a seller?

The key is that he is still the kind of little hawker without an exhibition permit!

"I don't want to talk nonsense with you." Zhang Heping picked up the pen and paper on the reception desk, wrote down a series of phone numbers, and said impatiently:

"This is the phone number of the manager of Tingmei Trading Company. Ask her directly."

The female foreman glanced at the phone number on the paper and nodded to the little girl behind the reception desk.

Soon, the call was connected. The little girl said a few words, then looked at Zhang Heping, "Sir, it was a child who answered the phone."

Zhang Heping waved to the little girl and motioned for her to bring the microphone.

The little girl at the front desk looked at the foreman again and reluctantly handed over the microphone.

Zhang Heping cleared his throat and deliberately asked in a deep voice: "Is this the manager Chen Shuting's house?"

"My little mother is not at home, who are you?" On the other end of the phone was the voice of the 9-year-old third daughter Zhang Nian.

"I'm her friend." Zhang Heping asked helplessly, "Is your mother at home?"

"My mother isn't here either."

Zhang Heping frowned, "Are there any adults at home?"

"My grandpa is at home..."

"Hello, who is it?"

Tang Ming's voice came from the microphone, making Zhang Heping secretly relieved and almost fell asleep on the street.

"My name is Zhang Heping. I brought the clothing samples requested by Manager Chen Shuting to the Baiyun Hotel in Huadu. Now I need to ask Manager Chen to use her Hong Kong business identity to help me book two rooms in the Baiyun Hotel. Otherwise, I will have to sleep on the streets. ”

Father-in-law Tang Ming understood the implication of Zhang Heping's words, "Is this the hotel's phone number? Give the phone number to the hotel manager and I'll tell him."

Zhang Heping handed the microphone to the female foreman, but the female foreman was very rigid.

"Tingmei Trading Company only has two rooms, and they were all booked by China Resources..."

"Sir, we can't let people stay in other guests' rooms without authorization just because your phone number is from Hong Kong... China Resources can call..."
