Siheyuan, Me and the Yu Sisters

Five days

Zhang Renkang and his team stayed in Hong Kong Island for five days

Gaul enters China, the Lou family splits up, and John gives away land

The expedition team took their harvest from Victoria Bay Port on the Queen II of John to Tianjin.

Their greatest contribution this time was not to promote the entry of the Gauls into China but to cooperate with John, especially John's initiative to open a route from Tianjin to Hong Kong Island (opened in 70), which was two years ahead of schedule.

More importantly, John Jim has already consulted with the country and approved 400 acres of land north of Jiulong Mountain for the construction of the New Star Automobile Factory at a preferential price. It is less than three kilometers away from Kwai Chung Port, which is very convenient for freight transportation.

It can be said that the gains from this trip to Hong Kong Island have far exceeded his expectations.

Zhang Tingan walked towards Zhang Renkang standing by the side of the ship with two glasses of champagne in a cheerful mood, and said with a smile:

"Renkang, why are you out here instead of celebrating and discussing with your comrades?"

Then he handed a glass of champagne to Zhang Renkang.

Zhang Renkang held the goblet in one hand and the railing with the other and said with a smile

"I prefer quietness to noise"

"It affects the good mood of the comrades."

"Feeling the sea breeze outside and looking at the blue sea makes me feel especially refreshed."

“The sea is even bluer now than when we were there.”

Zhang Tingan nodded, took a sip of champagne and smiled.

“The sea and sky remain the same, but the people are different”

"I was in a great mood on this return trip, and naturally everything was beautiful beyond words"

"It's not like when we went there, the road ahead was full of fog, we didn't know what the outcome would be, and how good our mood would be."

"When I led a team to Hong Kong Island for the first time, I was given a new mission just before departure."

"I felt like I was going to die in Hong Kong Island. There was no smile on my face."

Zhang Renkang laughed and shook his head.

“At that time, I thought that some kind of leader must have been sent.”

"You have a stern face all the way. I'm afraid it's hard to get along with you."

Zhang Tingan said with a smile

“You can’t blame me.”

“You don’t know, but I do.”

"I thought that so many comrades might have to sacrifice their lives in Hong Kong Island because of this mission, especially those who died in obscure ways."

"I feel really guilty, so I can only face you with a straight face. Even if I let you scold me a few times to vent your anger, I will feel better."

“This time is different.”

"I didn't expect that we would gain so much. After we go back, I think your promotion to deputy department level is a foregone conclusion."

"Not only do we eat and drink well, but more importantly, we can all show our achievements when we return home."

It's not just the work of Zhang Renkang and Zhang Tingan

The other groups not only completed their research, but also the chemical representative Li Dandong actually had a good chat with a representative of the Hans Bayer Group. David Miller, the Hans representative, even took the initiative to follow him to visit China.

After approval from his superiors, David Miller followed their delegation all the way through Shanghai to Ningcheng to visit China's chemical industry development and achievements and discuss specific cooperation matters between the two parties.

Sijiucheng has sent a telegram to the Hong Kong office and informed Zhang Renkang and Zhang Tingan that Gaul's entry into China is going smoothly. It is expected that Guangzhou will be used as a pilot to establish a China-Europe trade route.

And the latest news is that John's representative will soon enter China. Because the old Euro alliance, under the leadership of the general, does not take John's people to play together, so John can only go to China to negotiate by himself.

Zhang Renkang clinked glasses with Zhang Tingan with a smile

The sky is high and the sea is vast, the dragon enters the sea

Sijiucheng, Xinxing Guesthouse

The innovative development of many car models by Xinxing Automobile Factory has attracted inspection teams from automobile factories in various places. In particular, the launch of Xinxing small cars and the concept of cooperation in automobile industry technological innovation proposed by Xinxing Automobile Factory have attracted many government units from various places to inspect the factory in recent months.

The cooperation concept of automobile industry technology innovation is to form an automobile industry alliance through the inspection of Xinxing Automobile Manufacturing Plant, the cooperation factories and various units included in the supply system, share technology, cooperate and win-win, formulate unified technical standards, standardize the precision of each component, improve and unify the production process and procedures

Xinxing Automobile Manufacturing Plant even invested funds to assist some mechanical processing units to update equipment and improve technology, jointly building a Chinese automobile industry chain cluster.

At present, it not only includes the Third Machinery Processing Institute, but also covers five qualified machinery processing plants in Sijiu City and Yi Province. Even under the coordination of the Ministry of Industry, four tire, paint, leather and plastic processing plants selected from the old industrial base have also been included in this alliance.

In just three months, the automotive industry chain proposed by Zhang Renkang has basically taken shape

Xinxing Guesthouse is an affiliated unit specially built by Xinxing Automobile Manufacturing Plant on the east side of the factory for accommodation and catering. After all, the factory is still some distance away from the city. This side is in the wilderness, except for a few family quarters and three villages.

A guest house is more convenient for receiving visiting teams

Li Huaide laughed

"I said so."

"You are a lucky guy. Since you became a cadre, I have never seen anything that can embarrass you."

“All problems will be solved”

Zhang Renkang has been back for three days. He was sent to his superiors to report in the past two days and attended a meeting to discuss trade channels and cooperation with Europe. More importantly, they were all listening to and understanding Zhang Renkang's purpose and ideas for building a factory in Hong Kong Island.

It was not until last night that the guards sent him back to the courtyard.

Zhang Renkang smiled and said

"Brother Li, don't talk without feeling any pain in your waist."

"This is a difficult problem. If I hadn't been careful and lucky,

"Any one of them will kill me"

Zhang Renkang was really a little scared, especially since he was kept in Xishan for a meeting these days. There were guards everywhere, and even going to the toilet required two people with guns to accompany him, as if he would be shot to death if he did not do the right thing. He also had to concentrate on keeping his mind clear and be ready to answer questions from his superiors at any time.

The hard work here is not something that ordinary people can understand.

As soon as he came out, he ran into Li Huaide who came to see him. At noon, Zhang Renkang called Liu Feng and Qian Minghua to accompany him. The four of them ate hot pot in the private room of the guesthouse.

Li Huaide snorted and added a piece of mutton, wrapped it in sesame sauce and put it into his mouth.

“This lamb is authentic”

“I went to Donglaishun a while ago, and if you didn’t know, you would have thought they used pork.”

"That tastes terrible. It really ruins their brand."

"Sorry"

The quality of Donglaishun has been getting worse in recent years. Maybe it was affected by the epidemic, or maybe it has other ideas. Anyway, the meat is tough and old, and the sesame sauce has lost its fragrance. Not only are there fewer diners, but even half of the waiters have been gone.

Qian Minghua said with a smile

"All the sheep in Xilin were sent to entertain the troops. They were lucky to get some mutton."

"What you are eating today is the live sheep that our procurement comrades brought back yesterday and just slaughtered."

Li Huaide raised his glass and said with a smile

"Come, let's celebrate Renkang's victorious return"

"Next time I come here, this will be a deputy department-level leader."

"At least your factory is legitimate."
