Siheyuan: Heavy Industry Revitalizes the Country

"Xiaoying, what do you think?

From now on you will basically work in the South.

She is still staying in the capital, and you two are living apart. In the long run, this is not a good thing."

Although Fang Xiang made a solemn promise, it was obvious that Father Liu was still worried.

"Aren't we already talking about taking back Hong Kong Island?

Xiaoying is now a director and is old enough to take on some responsibilities.

It would be better to let her go to Yangcheng and join the negotiation team.

I can do something and learn from the experience at the same time.”

When Fang Xiang heard Liu's father's suggestion, he was stunned for a moment.

But I soon understood what Mr. Liu meant and changed my mind.

The matter of returning home to Hong Kong Island is about to get down to business.

If I don't take advantage of the seniority now, when will I wait?

Even if I just act as an intermediary, it would be a good thing.

"You are well-informed, we are still discussing it in a meeting here.

You knew it in advance, who told you? "

Father Liu was also stunned at this moment.

While the internal discussion was still going on, Fang Xiang unexpectedly got the news.

Did the news leak again?

“Is there any need to inquire about this?

Just think about it, John Bull is fighting hard in South America.

It seems that he has the upper hand, but the underwear that the sun never sets has long been torn off and exposed to the whole world.

They did not dare to launch two fronts at the same time, nor could they guarantee that they could defend Hong Kong Island as they could the Falkland Islands.

Isn’t now the best opportunity?”

Fang Xiang laughed immediately, although this was the result of his experience in later life.

But recently he has also continued to pay attention to this war, even though he is a person with a clear mind and a global strategic vision.

It is not necessarily possible to discover the trick inside.

I have to say, choosing this time to talk is a wise decision.

"I didn't expect that you have such a good eye...

It’s a pity that you don’t go into politics...”

Father Liu immediately became emotional.

“Forget it, I have my big brother to protect me.

I'd better do more scientific research and serve the country."

Fang Xiang was not clear about it. He only knew about this matter because of the lack of information.

But Mr. Liu believed that he discovered it through his keen sense of smell.

He immediately declined.

"Okay, since you don't want to do it, I won't force you.

Do you have anything else?

My time is very tight.”

Seeing that the matter was almost discussed, Father Liu looked up at the clock hanging on the wall.

Remembering the schedule, he started to chase people away.

"No, I'll go back and prepare, and then I'll go to Factory 132."

Fang Xiang also tactfully said goodbye.

Turning around, Fang Xiang left Zhongbeihai and drove to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

"How did you come?

I'm so busy at work that I don't have time to receive you.

The child is about to finish school, you should go pick him up. "

Unexpectedly, as soon as I saw Liu Shuying, I was chased away with a big roll of eyes.

Walk out of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Street and head north a short distance to find No. 2 Middle School.

As soon as Fang Xiang stopped the car, he saw an acquaintance, Lou Xiao'e.

Perhaps because the BMW 540 that Fang Xiang was driving was too conspicuous, Lou Xiao'e also noticed Fang Xiang who had just got out of the car.

"Fang Xiang?

More than a decade has passed, how come you don't look like you've changed at all?"

Lou Xiao'e walked up to Fang Xiang and looked at him curiously.

"Really? Why do I feel like you're getting younger and more beautiful?"

Fang Xiang smiled and saw Lou Xiao'e greeting him with a smiling face.

You can't pretend you don't know him or ignore him.

So he opened his mouth and replied.

"What are you doing?"

Lou Xiao'e looked at Fang Xiang's car, then looked at Fang Xiang, and asked curiously.

"Pick up their kids."

Fang Xiang raised his head and pointed to the gate of No. 2 Middle School.

“Are your children in middle school?

How old are you?

Lou Xiao'e also turned her head to look at No. 2 Middle School, whose door was still tightly closed.

"I'm fifteen years old now. I've just started high school."

Fang Xiang actually didn't have much interest in this old friend whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

However, Lou Xiao'e had a good attitude, and since she had nothing to do at the moment, she just started chatting.

"Where do you work now?

It seems that you are treated quite well, and you even have a car."

Sure enough, Lou Xiao'e was curious about the other party's desire to drive such a nice car.

It’s only been 82 years now.

Although there are many more cars on the streets than in 65 and 66, overall there are still very few.

Most of them are jeeps, ordinary agricultural machinery, trucks and buses.

There are actually quite a few BMWs, but they are basically official cars of various units.

Not only are the numbers pitifully small, but most of them are 320.

530 is rare, and 740 is almost impossible to come across.

The car Fang Xiang likes is a high-end version of the 740 Series equipped with a 5 engine.

The exterior does not have any additional decorations to distinguish it from the one sold outside.

Instead, it is no different from the regular version, except for some adjustments to the power system.

It was originally launched to capture the performance car market.

Unexpectedly, 330 and 540 were well received by the market as soon as they were launched.

In less than two years, orders accounted for more than one-fifth of the regular version.

"Second Automobile is the manufacturer of BMW cars."

Fang Xiang smiled and said that women are all vain.

Even though Lou Xiao'e was once the daughter of Lou Bancheng, she is no exception.

"Oh, is this true?

Let me tell you, BMW cars are selling like hot cakes in Hong Kong Island right now.

Even the taxis on the streets are BMWs.

Oh, I forgot. You probably haven’t been to Hong Kong Island, so you don’t know how to take a taxi.

By the way, what is your position in Second Automobile Works?

Could you introduce me to the leader of your factory?

I also want to be an agent for the BMW brand. Nowadays, there are so many BMW cars on the market, it’s like robbing people.

You need to make an appointment to buy one, if you can negotiate it.

I'll give you a commission, what do you think?"

Unexpectedly, Lou Xiao'e heard Fang Xiang say that he was at Second Automobile Works.

His eyes immediately started to turn. Not only did he think of becoming the agent for BMW, he also planned to get Fang Xiang to join.

"From what you said, you are very familiar with Hong Kong Island?"

Fang Xiang did not directly answer Lou Xiaoe's question.

From what Lou Xiao'e said just now, she is quite familiar with what's happening outside.

Could it be?

"Why...

You don’t know, but actually I went abroad to Hong Kong Island more than ten years ago.

Didn't you just come back?

I'm planning to open a restaurant and I'm looking for a suitable place.

It was such a coincidence that I ran into you."

Hearing Fang Xiang's question, Lou Xiao'e sighed first.

Then she divorced Xu Damao and fled from Beijing to Hong Kong Island.

He also told me that he had made money there and planned to come back and open a restaurant.

“Speaking of which, this is not because the domestic situation has improved.

They also began to call for economic development.

I'll come back and look for an opportunity."

After listening to Lou Xiao'e's confession, Fang Xiang finally understood what had happened during these ten years.

So many things happened in the Siheyuan.

But after all, I had left that place of trouble a long time ago.

I just asked Lou Xiao'e why she went to Hong Kong Island and came back.

Facing Fang Xiang's question, Lou Xiao'e's eyes were somewhat evasive and vague.

It was obvious that she wasn't telling the truth, at least not the whole truth.

"Ring ring ring..."

Soon, when Lou Xiao'e wanted to ask Fang Xiang if he could help her find an agent.

The school bell rang.

“The child is out of school, so I won’t say any more to you.

We'll talk again when we have a chance."

After finally finding an excuse, Fang wanted to quickly end the topic.

"Okay, I'll wait until my restaurant opens.

You have to come and take care of my business.

Please leave me your contact information."

Faced with Fang Xiang's reasons, Lou Xiao'e did not let him go so easily.

Instead, he took a step forward and started asking for contact information.
