Siheyuan: Living in the People's Community, with a Heart for the Red Star

Two American cruisers came to China's territorial waters, near the Yellow Sea, close to the national border, turned on the radar to scan the Yellow Sea, trying to find the missing Promise cruiser. Starting from the last coordinate position of the Promise cruiser, the two cruisers wandered around the border of China's waters for the next week, from south to north, and then from north to south, but no trace of the Promise cruiser was found.

The US intelligence agencies did not collect any information about the Promise through domestic spies. In the end, the US military determined that the Promise sank and all the crew members on board died. This information became a secret file and was submitted to the security department for archiving.

Since the incident was a temporary mission of the British Intelligence Agency, the United States and the United Kingdom negotiated several times, and the United Kingdom finally paid the United States 5,000 million pounds as compensation for the incident. Soley, who was in Japan, was also recalled to the United Kingdom for investigation.

After breakfast, Cui and Yang came to the study together. Yang took out the prepared materials and gave them to Cui for review. Cui took the plan from Yang and read it carefully. The materials were very thick. Yang made a cup of tea for Cui and sat aside waiting. After reading for about 2 hours, Cui put down the plan and looked at Yang in disbelief. In Cui's opinion, Yang was a brave and brave warrior. How could he show him such a thing? Was he deceived by others?

Old Yang knew that Old Cui was worried and said to him, "Uncle Cui, don't worry. These are what I think in my heart. I have realized that I want to leave a legend and a history for our country and our nation! I will use the rest of my life to do something sincerely for the people. I need your support. Once the country is prosperous and no longer needs me, I will leave quietly. Please give me this opportunity!"

Cui looked at Old Yang, whose face was red with excitement, with great emotion. Finally, he sighed and said, "Xiao Yang, you have cut off your future in China. Once you take this step, there is no turning back. The people may not understand or accept you at all. You and I will never meet again in the future! Do you really want to do this?"

Old Yang nodded firmly and said, "Yes, I am determined in my choice! I am coming back to China this time to see you for the last time!"

Cui stood up and hugged Lao Yang, agreeing to Lao Yang's request. Under Cui's arrangement, Lao Yang's plan was handed over to the leaders of the Ministry of Commerce for review.

After seven days of waiting, a secret agreement was reached on December 7, 1961.

Yang Shangjin established a company called Xingbang in China, which was funded by Yang Shangjin himself. The company cooperated with supply and marketing cooperatives in major cities in China to sell all the products operated by his company. Yang Shangjin held 50% of the company's shares, and the Ministry of Commerce held 50%. The management rights were controlled by Yang Shangjin, and the Ministry of Commerce did not participate in the management, but only enjoyed dividends.

Lao Yang specifically requested that the Ministry of Commerce and other departments should not withhold the goods provided by Xingbang Company to the supply and marketing cooperatives, and could only purchase products at normal market prices.

Lao Yang immediately established the Xingbang Company headquarters in Kyoto, and rented land in the West District of Kyoto to build the Xingbang Company headquarters. The headquarters building is planned to have 30 floors, and a Daxing warehouse will be built near the headquarters. Lao Yang recruited three company leaders from colleges and universities, namely Wan Changqing, Zhou Yaobang, and Lin Yusheng. The three are respectively responsible for internal communication and deployment, external coordination and cooperation, and material deployment and transportation. The three are outstanding graduates of Kyoto University. When Lao Yang went to deploy talents, they were recommended by their mentors. After Lao Yang's assessment, they fully met Lao Yang's requirements. In addition to the three people, about 3 people were deployed in various universities and assigned to the three people.

Lao Yang temporarily rented a small building in Xicheng District, Kyoto as the office of Xingbang Company. Lao Yang exchanged all the jewelry, jade, gold, silver and foreign exchange in the space into RMB 10 billion, which he deposited into the Construction Bank headquarters as the construction cost of the headquarters and provincial branches. He transferred RMB 1 million from Huaguo Bank to Industrial and Commercial Bank of China as the company's employee salary fund.

As the capital invested by Lao Yang was huge, he began to select sites all over the country and build branches at the same time. Lao Yang also ordered the headquarters staff to go to various provinces to start selecting talents nationwide and recruit branch staff to join Xingbang Company as grassroots managers.

The company's employees enjoy basic welfare benefits, including free medical care, housing subsidies, etc., and are allowed two days off per week, with no fixed vacations, and are paid monthly.

After determining the basic framework, Xingbang Company began to purchase a large number of transport vehicles, built vehicle supply rest areas along national highways, and recruited rest area employees nearby, creating a corporate culture of "one family across the country, with relatives everywhere".

The Xingbang Company Security Department was established. All members of the Security Department were veterans, responsible for the safety of each branch and transportation vehicle. The first batch of personnel were drawn from the army, trained by special service personnel, and assigned to various companies across the country for rotation. All employees have the right to supervise and report on the company's management.

After a series of arrangements and planning adjustments in the early stage, on December 12, Lao Yang arranged the tasks at hand and appointed Wan Changqing, Zhou Yaobang and Lin Yusheng as the company leaders who were responsible to Lao Yang. He issued an order to the top management of Xingbang Company to execute the plan, and then applied to the top management to rent a helicopter to fly to the southeast Shenzhen area. After arriving, they would take a car to the Hong Kong border.

Lao Yang found a location at the border of Hong Kong and crossed the border into Hong Kong. He intercepted a car on a road, arrived in Yuen Long, and took a taxi to the villa.

After arriving at the villa and paying the fare, Lao Yang came to the gate of the villa. He called Tian Guohao through the doorbell, and Tian Butler immediately opened the door to welcome him out. The two walked all the way to the hall and saw Watanabe Caiyun cleaning. Watanabe hurriedly bowed to Lao Yang, and Lao Yang asked her to go down. Then he talked to Tian Butler about the situation at home.

Since the end of November, the two wives have often come to supervise the progress and purchase furniture and appliances. The main decoration was basically completed last month, and all the decoration was completed on December 11. Three days ago, the two wives moved into the villa. Now the two wives go to work in the company, and there is no one at home except the servants.

Old Yang learned about the family situation and said, "Old Tian, ​​please look for people who are suitable for guarding the house. Let's recruit 10 to 20 guards. We will have to guard our villa against thieves in the future. I am still worried about using foreign bodyguards. You should also find a chance to replace the servants at home. Replace them with Chinese people. They must be reliable. I believe you can do it. If it doesn't work, you can contact President Li or Political Commissar Zhang of Huaguo Bank. You must ensure the safety of our home. Go ahead!"

Old Yang came to the master bedroom upstairs. It was well decorated with dark colors, suitable for rest. Old Yang observed the room and found that no one had used it. Old Yang got up and went to the study next door. The layout of the study was very bright. There were many books on the bookshelf. He looked at some famous Western works, as well as domestic vernacular novels, four famous novels, and medical books. The types were diverse.

Old Yang shook his head and said, "Who would read this?"

Lao Yang returned to the master bedroom, took a shower in the bathroom, changed into pajamas and lay on the bed, thinking about what to do next.
