Siheyuan: Heavy Industry Revitalizes the Country

"Well... you really know how to pick a good time to come back.

I have done all the hard work and dirty work here, and you are back."

Not long after sitting in Luoqi's office, Cao Tianwei, who had heard the news that Fang Xiang was coming back, pushed the door open and came in.

When he saw Fang Xiang, his face looked extremely happy, but his words were full of complaints.

"Hahaha, do you think I don't want to come back early?

I was detained in Yangcheng for nearly half a month before they released me.

They interrogate me every day, and they almost treat me as a class enemy."

When Fang Xiang saw Cao Tianwei, the corners of his mouth immediately widened.

He opened the drawer, took out a Marlboro and threw it over.

"Are you kidding me? You did such a great thing, and I'm still interrogating you?

Is the person above crazy?"

Cao Tianwei had a frightened expression on his face and subconsciously caught the cigarette without even looking at it.

He stared at Fang Xiang, looking him up and down, as if Fang Xiang was missing some limbs.

"It's just that what we did was too big, that's why we need to ask for clarification.

Now it's all right, everything over there has been dealt with.

I can also come back and focus on our business.”

Fang Xiang took out a pile of gift boxes, put them on the table, and pushed them in front of Cao Tianwei.

"what is this?"

Cao Tianwei looked at the thing in front of him curiously.

“Brought it back from Hong Kong Island.

There is food, drink and other things to eat, all for you.”

Fang Xiang took the tea prepared by his assistant Xiao Wang and put it next to him.

"so much?

What kind of cigarette is this? I’m seeing it for the first time.”

Cao Tianwei looked at the pile of packaged things in front of him, picked them up one by one curiously to have a look, and then put them down again.

When I finished flipping through the pages and went to get a cigarette, I discovered it was not a red Zhonghua, but a red and white Marlboro.

"I bought these foreign cigarettes for you to try."

Fang Xiang looked at Cao Tianwei with a smile.

Although he was in Yangcheng recently, he called Cao Tianwei at least once or twice a day.

Fang Xiang had no way to come back, so Cao Tianwei was basically the one taking care of Luoqi's work.

"Oh, that's good. I bought all the foreign cigarettes."

Cao Tianwei started to unpack the cigarettes with a smile on his face, took out one and lit it happily.

But as soon as he took a puff, the smile disappeared on his face.

"Why does this cigarette smell so weird?"

Cao Tianwei held the cigarette in his hand and turned it over and over, as if wondering if there was something wrong with his mouth.

“Foreign cigarettes have this taste, weird.

Otherwise why would I let you have a taste?

Here, I bought you an Omega watch. Do you like it?"

Fang wanted to find a wooden box from the pile of boxes.

He opened the lid and pushed it in front of Cao Tianwei.

"Omega? Oh my god, how much does this cost?

What does the dial inside show? "

Cao Tianwei suddenly stopped worrying about the smell of the cigarette and immediately picked up the golden Omega.

I immediately fell in love with this leather belt-style Seamaster Diefei watch.

He immediately took off the Seagull watch on his hand and put on the Omega watch.

Yes, at this time, Haiba Diefei has not yet become a separate series.

Instead, the name with the suffix "Difei" will occasionally be used in Haima's formal watches.

Attached below.

“It’s not expensive, three hundred yuan.

How about it, do you like it? "

Fang Xiang watched with a smile as Cao Tianwei started to adjust the time and wind up the clock.

"How many?

Three hundred dollars?

This is more than two months’ salary for me!

You bought such an expensive watch! I don’t have the money to pay you back. I’ll sue you!”

When Cao Tianwei heard the price of over three hundred, he was so frightened that his face almost turned pale.

I quickly took off the watch and put it back into the box in a hurry.

“For you.

We have known each other for such a long time, but I have never bought you any gifts.

This time I go to Hong Kong Island, I finally have the chance to buy you a watch.

Senior brother, you have helped me a lot in the past two years, so this is my token of my appreciation.

Don’t think too much, just accept it.”

Fang Xiang smiled and said.

It’s a pity that the timing is not right. If Omega had waited two years, after Ultraman landed on the moon, it would have released a co-branded model with Ultraman, the Speedmaster.

That watch was later auctioned for 4 pounds, which was many times more expensive than its original selling price of 45 pounds.

But by then, I guess I wouldn't be short of this little money, right?

Fang Xiang looked at the seahorse butterfly flying and thought secretly in his heart.

“It’s okay if it’s given to me for free.

Don't you expect me to give you a gift in return?!"

Cao Tianwei then breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the watch happily again and put it on his wrist again.

Then I turned the watch over and over to admire it from every angle.

"You have to support your family with your salary, so you should save money."

Cao Tianwei has elderly parents and young children to take care of, and his family has always been in his hometown.

Cao Tianwei has now settled down in Luoyi. When we chatted before, he was planning to move his family here.

Actually, his salary is not low, but Cao Tianwei is Fang Xiang's senior brother.

I have taken good care of him since the beginning, and now he is my right-hand man.

This little gift didn't cost much, and Fang even felt that it was too little.

If I have the chance, I will leave him a villa in Hong Kong Island.

Fang Xiang finished speaking and thought to himself.

I just don't know if he likes it.

"Okay, I won't say more about these.

Let's talk about the factory, shall we?!"

After playing with it for a long time, Cao Tianwei lit a cigarette and looked at Fang Xiang seriously.

"Well, go ahead, brother. I'm listening."

Fang Xiang nodded and took a sip of tea.

“It’s November now, and it’s almost the end of the year.

This year's planned tasks can basically be declared completed ahead of schedule.

Should the factory employees receive some benefits or something?"

I originally thought that Cao Tianwei would first talk about machine tools, equipment and recruitment.

Unexpectedly, the first thing I asked was this year's tasks and benefits.

"No problem, just tell Old Ma about this matter.

Why do you have to say this to me specifically..."

Fang Xiang nodded. For such a small matter, Cao Tianwei could make the final decision on his own, let alone Director Ma.

Why do you have to ask yourself this question?

“What needs to be reported must be reported.

Public is public, private is private, I can still tell the difference.

Since you have no objection, why don't we set a standard?"

Cao Tianwei smoked a cigarette and looked at Fang Xiang.

"Just leave it to Lao Ma. I feel confident that he will handle the administration.

It has not been easy for the workers this year.

Can I get an extra month's salary?

Then buy some more chicken, duck, fish, pork, and vegetables and distribute them to everyone."

Speaking of benefits, the first thing Fang Xiang thought of was the 13th salary at the end of the year.

Today is still an era when workers are in charge and it is a good time to make selfless contributions to national construction.

Fang Xiang naturally didn't want to be a bad guy or anything, so of course he would give as much as he could.

“Okay, I’ll make note of this then.

Then, in the past few months, the workers in the factory have been working on our new BMW.

I put in a lot of effort and worked a lot of overtime.

I think, shouldn’t I also show some appreciation?”

Cao Tianwei took out a small notebook, wrote down what he had just said, then looked up at Fang Xiang and asked.

“That’s a must, overtime pay is double.

Those who perform outstandingly will be recognized as advanced, awarded red flowers, and given radio publicity.

Those who have made outstanding contributions will receive an additional salary increase, ordinary employees will be promoted to team leaders, and team leaders will be promoted to deputy workshop directors. "

Fang Xiang nodded happily, without these lovely workers working overtime day and night.

He wouldn't have come up with the finished product so quickly, and now it's being sold in Hong Kong Island.

And it seems that in the future it will be sold to Southeast Asia and Europe.

Of course I don’t want to treat others unfairly.

At the beginning, this group of workers were also activists selected from the best and masters with outstanding skills.

Cao Tianwei wanted to reward Fang Xiang based on his merits, and not only would he not refuse, he would also double the reward.

"Okay, that's all for the factory for now.

Now it’s time to talk about the machine tools and equipment.”

Cao Tianwei wrote down everything Fang Xiang said.

After finishing writing, I started to mention the key points.
