Era: Retired from the army at the beginning and returned home - Chapter 304 Returning to China to Prepare the Van

Xiangjiang is indeed managed by the capital society. In addition, many domestic businessmen have moved here, so there are many business-minded people here.

Sun Tou is Baotou on the dock. Anyone who wants to pick up work at Sun Tou’s dock must naturally listen to Sun Tou. When Luo Cheng opened a factory, it would be no problem to recruit some people from near the dock to be workers. But to recruit more people, especially those at the bottom, it is useless to advertise or call people to recruit people.

Some people specifically go to the pier to squat. If they think they are from China, someone will come up to them and ask if they want to find a job, ensuring they have food and housing. If you agree, I will take you to a wooden house similar to a refugee camp. Women do some laundry, cooking and odd handicrafts. The man will wait for arrangements.

As long as there is a factory recruiting people, you don’t have to recruit them one by one. You can just contact Baotou directly. Who do you want, how old are they, male or female. Prices and wages can be negotiated with Baotou, and wages are not fixed. For example, due to the disaster caused by the typhoon, at least many people are now unemployed. The wages are low. If the work is done in a good manner, many factories in Hong Kong need people, and the wages will be high.

The factory Luo Cheng is building in Hong Kong does require a lot of workers, and prices here in Hong Kong are not high at the moment. Luo Cheng had to purchase a lot of things every day, but he had relatively few ships, and the country did not dare to blatantly provide Luo Cheng with large ships. So now we have to transport a lot of things back to China every night and early in the morning.

During the day, workers are asked to sort out various goods, pack them into sacks, and transport them to the dock storage point. A large number of small fishing boats will appear at the pier in the early morning at night. Those who pick up the scattered work at the pier will organize a group of people to be on standby in the early morning every day. And now there are people making broth and cooking on the dock every night.

It only takes about an hour at most, but the speed must be fast. Unloading and loading must be completed within an hour.

Luo Cheng originally thought he had the potential to be a capitalist, but he was actually said to be too benevolent. It was pretty good since they didn’t have to pump water for them. At night, they only worked for an hour or so. They also provided food and drink, and there was even broth. As a result, there were some unscrupulous people who came to work just for this little food even though his name was not mentioned.

As for the person responsible for guarding, as long as the ones who are supposed to come come, it doesn’t matter if there are more. The faster the speed, the less likely it will be a problem. The port here is free from one to three in the morning, but the real time given to Luo Cheng is only about an hour. If this time is not reached, domestic ships cannot appear in the waters here, and there is still time to get here from within the waters.

Deducting the time between entering the sea area and leaving the sea area, Luo Cheng will not have much time.

So every night, it would be an understatement to say the loading and unloading was a little crazy. Walking while carrying goods needs to feel like trotting.

The factory here has also recruited management talents, and the salary is much higher than in China. If you convert the exchange rate, it is at least the salary of a director of a factory that has just exceeded 1,000 employees. However, if you calculate the prices here, they are still slightly higher than those in Xiangjiang. But here he is just a very ordinary manager with academic qualifications.

As for the technicians who assemble vehicles, Luo Cheng also felt that their level was not high. It’s much worse than the fifth- and sixth-level workers in China, but the wages are no worse than those of eighth-level workers in China. This is still a slightly skilled assembler. If those domestic eighth-level welders and forgers were here, their wages could be doubled or tripled.

Luo Chengdu wanted to bring some people over from China, but domestic policies certainly did not allow it. When relations with the Soviet Union were good, tens of thousands of people were arranged to study there. The relationship broke down, but the talent was not detained there, but was actively expelled. Because the Soviet Union has a lot of industrial talents, all those who come here are experts.

But those who went to study were not necessarily willing to go back. Many took the opportunity to leave the Soviet Union and go to other countries. Moreover, bringing people from China to work here would easily expose Luo Cheng’s identity. We can only use the form of economic market to pay high wages if we need talents.

This continued until the end of September. In Xiangjiang, thanks to Inspector Zhou, the shipyard here built two medium-sized cargo ships on an expedited basis. Then the leather bag factory was implemented, and a dilapidated factory was built at the dock in Singapore. Luo Cheng will pay here and provide reasonable documents there.

Although Inspector Zhou also made some money from this matter, Luo Cheng really had a factory in Singapore. Over there, there is a special management company. Luo Cheng only needs to pay a small amount every month. They will agree on the list of requirements in advance, and then they will issue a certificate of access.

Luo Cheng’s ship doesn’t even need to go to Singapore. He just needs the certificate. As long as the goods are consistent, he won’t be afraid of checking. You can enter and exit the port directly and freely.

Now Luo Cheng plans to return to China. He has been in Xiangjiang for more than two months. With Inspector Zhou’s care, he has been trying his best to transport products from China. To be honest, Luo Cheng is actually very grateful to Inspector Zhou, but the cooperation between the two will not last long. There are only two cargo ships now. The cargo ships need to be customized, and the fishing boats are ready-made, which are much larger than the small domestic fishing boats.

In the 1980s, the cabins of ships could hold dozens of people, and the smugglers who transported people there were fishing boats from the Xiangjiang River. But now Luo Cheng doesn’t have much money here, and he is opening a factory and a leather bag factory in Gabo. A large amount of supplies are transported back to China every day.

Relying on the small and broken boats provided by the country, no matter how hard we work, we can only make more money. There are regular large freighters here in Xiangjiang. If we can use freighters to transport goods, one trip will be enough to complete this month’s troubles. But if you don’t have a personal business in the country, you will still have to pay a lot of taxes on the finished goods.

Japan later sold a large number of finished vehicles in Xiangjiang, but they negotiated export policies directly with Xiangjiang managers. The quantity is very large, and it belongs to overseas cooperation and regional cooperation. Unlike Luo Cheng, who is of a personal nature, unless Luo Cheng has a large profit to give to the current managers of Xiangjiang, there will be no preferential policies.

But if Chief Inspector Lu Le is secured in Xiangjiang, at least within ten years, Luo Cheng will be able to buy his own boat and have a way out in Xiangjiang. Of course, you still have to pay the docking fee.

We have to cooperate with Inspector Zhou for a while, at most within this year. Before the end of the year, I will look for an opportunity to try to see if I can get online with Lu Le. Lu Le is now the Chief Inspector of Kowloon District, and he is also the Chief Inspector of several other regions, but he likes to stay in Kowloon District.

As for the Kowloon District, there is also a domestic liaison officer, but it is still a water pumping Baotou. But it’s better than Sun Tou, who works as a bicycle driver and rents bicycles. A rickshaw is also a human rickshaw. The life in Baotou over there was better, and Lu Le’s information was provided by him, but no matter what, he was just a Baotou. It was possible to collect information, but it was impossible to contact Lu Le relying on them.

Two cargo ships and a fairly good fishing boat set out specifically to catch a boatload of seafood in the waters of Xiangjiang. I told Inspector Zhou that he was going back to China once, and from now on he would not ship finished goods, but parts and components. And there is no limit.

But at most there is no time limit. If you think you have compliant documents, they won’t check you. They still have to give you money. Once you give money, they can at most do spot checks occasionally. Otherwise, you won’t be able to bear it if they check you frequently. Therefore, Inspector Zhou’s expenses are indispensable. But time has become unlimited. In the future, there will be a large number of products, and his profits can be many times higher.

When we were going back, someone came over in a small boat and boarded Luo Cheng’s cargo ship in the middle of the sea. Then there is the deep city, which is accessed through the regular port.

Two whole boatloads of supplies, plus a fishing boatload of seafood. But not much of it actually goes to Luo Cheng. He still only takes a certain proportion to the industrial zone, and the rest has to be handed over to the state, and then the state gives money to the industrial zone. But during the two months since Luo Cheng was away from Nghe An, the industrial zone just let its natural development take its course, that is, adding some production lines appropriately based on domestic demand.

However, in order to ensure the welfare of employees, the managers of the industrial zone implemented what Luo Cheng said when he left. We must not expand too fast, which may lead to a decline in welfare. Moreover, the planting and breeding bases are trying their best to develop, and the land reclamation work near the industrial zone has never stopped.

When arriving at the port, Luo Cheng didn’t have much opinion on how to distribute the goods. The cargo ships and fishing boats that are coming back now are nominally owned by Luo Cheng, but at home, they think they belong to the country. Luo Cheng still only receives a monthly salary of more than 200 yuan in China.

Originally, Luo Cheng had no objection to these, but he brought a fishing boat back, and the fish he caught was intended to be taken to Ngee Ann to provide welfare to the workers, and he also wanted to mix in more seafood. But Luo Cheng couldn’t completely take away the things they fished from the sea. In a word, it all belongs to the country, you just take your share.

However, the boss still took care of some of Luo Cheng’s emotions. A ship of seafood weighed dozens of tons. Instead, Luo Cheng arranged for several tons of dry seafood to be taken away in a car.

Hey, it’s not that Luo Cheng doesn’t want to be good to the workers. If he can haul away more than ten tons of seafood, all the employees can get a taste of it. But it has become a few tons, and each person can only eat one or two at most, which is no fun. You can only eat food and have to pay for the food.

But whether it’s a few tons or dozens of tons, Luo Cheng can take away a lot anyway. At most, the leadership can give them benefits according to their level.

It’s just that after living as a real young master in Xiangjiang for a month or two recently, Luo Cheng was really happy in terms of eating and drinking, except for restraining some desires. But now that I’m back, even though I haven’t said anything, it feels like you were just role-playing in Xiangjiang. You only have the temporary right to use the wealth in Xiangjiang, it does not really belong to you.

In China, as a district chief, at most you will get better benefits, and you have to continue to work hard and contribute your abilities.

Hey, if his family and daughter-in-law weren’t all in China, Luo Cheng felt that he would have stayed in Xiangjiang for a few more years. He has become a very rich man, and maybe he will be like the people in Infernal Affairs, working as an undercover agent. After a long time, he will become a big boss, and he will not want to go back.

After arriving in Shencheng, Luo Cheng took the train back. Zhang Hao and Liu Qing are still guarding the factory and dock in Xiangjiang. When Luo Cheng brings a few more bodyguards, they can take turns returning to China to see their families.

The journey from Shenzhen to Ngee An is actually less than 900 kilometers, but the train cannot cover the distance in a straight line and it would take several days. As for taking a truck back, Luo Cheng wouldn’t be so stupid. When I went to SH City before, there were no national or provincial roads, let alone expressways. The road is not smooth yet, so we might as well take the train.

After two days, Luo Chengcai returned to Ngee An, which made him a little depressed. Including the departure time from Xiangjiang, there is no delay, it will take a week to go back and forth. In this future life, we are only a few hours away by plane.

And when he came back this time, he didn’t have much time to stay in the country. Zhang Hao and Liu Qing were over there in Xiangjiang. It is still possible to earn some ‘small money’ by receiving and processing a small amount of goods.

But Xiangjiang has been “regularized”. When he came back this time, he was going back to the industrial zone to adjust shipments. A large warehouse has been specially arranged for Luo Cheng in Shencheng. The porters were also arranged by Shencheng, and their wages were paid there. Luo Cheng got so many supplies from Xiangjiang that the wages of some porters were nothing.

When Luo Chenggang went to Xiangjiang before, he asked the industrial zone to produce ordinary five-seater vans. It was time to put them into use. There are many people in Xiangjiang with different religions and a huge wealth gap. The vans need to be simplified. In China, vehicles are now considered as valuables. It is simply impossible for them to use vans to haul goods.

The previous business version and regular version of Demasi vans have become special vehicles above a certain level. There is no need to worry about the five-seater model in China.

Forget about those that have been produced. Two cargo ships can’t transport many finished cars at one time. From now on, parts will be produced. With so many factory owners in Hong Kong, a van is worth owning. Moreover, the current traffic police department in Xiangjiang is also very backward. Ordinary traffic police patrol on bicycles.

Originally, Luo Cheng wanted to bring motorcycles there. If the industrial zone wants to produce motorcycles, it should not be too simple. It has not been produced because there is a motorcycle factory in the neighboring city. It is produced according to the plan. The area is too close. If the industrial zone also produces motorcycles, the superiors will come to talk. But it is different if it is used for export.

But according to the situation in Hong Kong, the government has no money. Officials do not rely on salary, but on corruption. Inspector Zhou recommended air conditioners to some units, but one area could not purchase much. This is still a case where it benefits some people. The refrigerators and air conditioners in the back are all sold to the owner of the factory in Xiangjiang.

Therefore, the current market for motorcycles in Xiangjiang is actually not big. Luo Cheng is more optimistic about vans. Some people engaged in casinos and other gray businesses in Xiangjiang are also Luo Cheng’s customers. If someone has a younger brother, they will drive a van to fight. As soon as the van stops at their property, seven or eight people will get out, and they can put machetes and steel pipes in the van. Just run away after the fight, so impressive and cool.

As long as a product opens up the market in Xiangjiang and becomes bigger and stronger, and earns more money, Luo Cheng will have the confidence to go to Lu Le. Once cooperation with Inspector Lu Le is reached, the industrial zone will stop ‘cooperating’ with the Japs. Of course, it is still okay for Xiaojiizi to buy their products according to the normal purchase method.

When we returned to Ngee Ann, it was already evening. Luo Cheng came back after changing into his Chinese tunic suit, but not his suit. Mao suits are also known as cadre uniforms in China. October is autumn, so it is just right to wear this.

I didn’t say hello to my family when I came back, I wanted to give them a surprise. I brought a lot of gifts, but I forgot that there is no shuttle bus from Ngee Ann at night, and it is not like Xiangjiang. If you have money, there are rickshaws.

It seems like I haven’t carried anything with me for a long time. Fortunately, the things are packed in a box and can be carried on the back.

Although the train was in a sleeper class, I didn’t get a good rest. It took more than half an hour to walk back. I almost fell down from exhaustion when I got home. But by chance, I happened to see Sissi taking out the trash.

Luo Cheng immediately followed him. His wife had a really good figure. If Sissi wasn’t so good-looking, he felt that he wouldn’t be able to resist the temptation in Xiangjiang. Or if it wasn’t for her appearance that really matched Luo Cheng’s idea of ​​a goddess, she might have broken off the relationship with Zheng Xue that day, and she recklessly confessed her love to her, and then impulsively fell on her. But in the end he restrained himself.

Luo Cheng has self-control, but he really has not reached the level of a saint. He feels that if the other person between a man and a woman is good-looking, it can really help the other person resist temptation. Of course, there are also men. Some men have very good-looking wives, but the mistresses they find are not as good as those at home. There are many such examples in later generations.

Secretly~~follow~~to give Sissy~~a surprise.

“Wow~~. Sissi~~It’s me. It’s over. Why did you attack this place? It hurts~~.”

Sissi didn’t even know that Luo Cheng was following him, but with her skills, she wouldn’t be able to tell if someone was following her so obviously. The movements of turning around and raising her legs were at the same time and coherent. If she hadn’t felt a familiar figure at a certain moment, she stopped her strength and turned a little in the direction, plus Luo Cheng flashed a little bit instinctively. It’s really possible to get to key places.

Luo Cheng was just joking, it was so embarrassing.

Helping him back to the room, the sisters were really happy to see Luo Cheng back. It’s just that the sister-in-law said that he accidentally fell and needed some medicine, and asked them not to disturb Luo Cheng. Then Luo Cheng gave them some snacks from the box to dismiss them.

In the evening, Sissi scrubbed his body, and then Luo Cheng said that the place where he was hit hurt and wanted to help rub and blow on it. However, Sissi was also afraid that something was really going on. After trying it for a long time, she found that the heels of her legs were just a little red. What a fucking hooligan, letting a woman do it.

Then~~~ I really thought that a woman was a saint, and after a while, I would let Luo Cheng go if she found that nothing was wrong.
