Era: Retired from the army at the beginning and returned home - Chapter 321 My sister gets married

Chapter 320 My sister gets married

“Old Liu, are you telling the truth? Are you going to supervise me in China?”

“Mr. Luo, I am not supervising you, but I want to investigate your situation at the Xiangjiang factory. After all, you know that in the eyes of some people in the country, your apparent assets belong to the state.”

Luo Cheng looked at Lao Liu and fell into deep thought.

Lao Liu is one of the domestic liaison officers dispatched to Xiangjiang.

After all, Luo Chengdu sends a large amount of supplies from Xiangjiang to the mainland every month. The factory in Xiangjiang is managed by Luo Cheng alone. Of course, the one person mentioned here refers to the only person who belongs to the country. As for the people who protect Luo Cheng, they will not help with management.

Without anyone to supervise it, the amount would be millions in a month and tens of millions in a year. Although this also includes costs, the country has been providing various raw materials, but the raw materials paid are nothing compared to the returns.

Tens of millions come and go every year, and no one else in the country coordinates the management. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is supervision and management. Some people are worried about whether Luo Cheng can resist the temptation and enrich himself.

And let alone in Xiangjiang, even in China, there are still corrupt elements these days. Some people felt that Luo Cheng was too young and would inevitably be tempted, so they planned to send someone over to ‘assist’ Luo Cheng. Especially given the current domestic situation, this must also be done.

However, before anyone was sent over, the liaison officer here at home asked Lao Liu about Luo Cheng’s situation in Xiangjiang.

Old Liu, whose name is Liu Guangde, runs a car dealership in Kowloon District, Hong Kong. The car dealers here are the human-powered rickshaws mentioned earlier, which can be rented or sold, but no matter whether they are rented or sold, they have to pay a fee. People wouldn’t ask a coolie pulling a rickshaw to chase after him for 10 or 20 cents every day.

When Lao Liu draws water from a rickshaw, he also needs money to pay his respects to the black and white. This gave the driver money to draw water. If he was harassed while driving, he could report Lao Liu’s name. If he reported his name, people would generally not make things difficult for him. It’s not that people are afraid of Lao Liu, but that Lao Liu gave him filial piety money, and if he touches his people again, it’s not a slap in Lao Liu’s face, but a slap in the face of the person above him.

Basically none of the liaison officers in Xiangjiang intend to go back. There are only a few truly selfless people. The reason why I have been reporting some situations to the country in accordance with my responsibilities is because I can take care of both. And in doing so, his family back home will receive his salary and rations every month.

It is also difficult for people in China to fully control the liaison officers in Xiangjiang. But as long as some intelligence can be collected, they will not interfere with what the liaison officers here are doing in Xiangjiang.

But Luo Cheng is different. The amount of funds he is responsible for is too large, and the salary of a person in China is only about thirty. The domestic materials he obtained in Xiangjiang were converted into money, which could be worth the income of 100,000 people. This number is too scary. Previously, Luo Cheng said in Xiangjiang that the export business to other regions has not been developed, so no one above him paid too much attention to it.

But now the domestic attitude towards capitalists is tightening, and there is fear that no one will monitor him in Xiangjiang. It would be bad for a person with a good background like Luo Cheng to become a capitalist.

But what the country doesn’t know is that, let alone Luo Cheng, the liaison officers in Xiangjiang are basically capitalists. Let’s talk about Lao Liu. He manages a car dealership. Should he hire workers? Does hiring workers mean that he is exploiting their labor force?

However, in just over two years, Luo Chengcai was no longer a simple capitalist in Xiangjiang, but a capital tycoon. This is why Lao Liu came to report to Luo Cheng as soon as there was news. Luo Chengdu put a dozen or two ‘Touch You’ cars in his car dealership for rental business.

If you can drive, you can pay a deposit to register with Lao Liu. If you pay a certain amount every month, you can use the car to rent it. This is more money than what Lao Liu makes from those rickshaw rides. Not only Lao Liu, but also the liaison officers in other areas have more or less cooperated with Luo Cheng.

Moreover, most of these liaison officers secretly have wives and children in Xiangjiang. Now that I have a wife and children in Xiangjiang, I don’t miss my family back home so much. When it comes time to choose whether to go back to China or stay in Xiangjiang, it’s basically time to cut off contact with the country.

Therefore, for liaison officers in Xiangjiang, all domestic wages are reserved for their families, which is actually a kind of settling-in allowance for their families.

In fact, in Xiangjiang, Luo Cheng not only took care of the liaison officers here. Even the people who followed him to protect him were basically gathered by Luo Cheng, and it didn’t take much effort for Luo Cheng to gather those protective personnel. The environment can corrode people’s hearts even more. If they don’t follow Luo Cheng sincerely, Luo Cheng will at most arrange accommodation and provide food for them. Buying a few sets of changes of clothes would be a good thing for them. They don’t have any bodyguard expenses, and they receive domestic wages.

There are already bodyguards in Xiangjiang who are similar to thugs. Their wages are very high, and when they are not working, they eat, drink and have fun.

The protection personnel who followed Luo Cheng did not receive extra money in Xiangjiang, so they were still called protection personnel. After receiving the extra money, they became new professional “bodyguards”. I earn more in a month than in a year in China, and the accommodation, food, drink, clothes, etc. are all completely different.

It’s not that they don’t have a patriotic heart, it’s just that Luo Cheng gave too much, and Luo Cheng didn’t do anything wrong in Xiangjiang. It’s considered patriotic to transfer so many supplies back to the country every month. It’s just that everyone’s love is not so pure. If you work for a month, you will be paid for a year in China. If you work for a year and give the money to your family, you will treat it like selling your life to Luo Cheng for housing expenses.

What’s more, Luo Cheng didn’t fight or provoke anyone in Xiangjiang. What’s even more irritating is that he doesn’t go out much. Their work is easy, their salary is the same as free money, they do some weapons training, and they have fun every day.

Luo Cheng thanked Lao Liu and asked him to go back and do his own thing. It’s really hard to fool someone from China who wants to come over to check. It would be fine if they just check and then leave. But according to Old Liu, they are here to assist and will not leave.

Luo Cheng has no countermeasures on the surface, because pretending can only be temporary at best. Anyone who comes here will know Luo Cheng’s situation on the surface as long as they stay in Xiangjiang for a while.

For this reason, Luo Cheng could only go to Zeng Qirong to discuss countermeasures. Zeng Qirong said that it is very easy to deal with a few people from China. The white gang is more powerful than the underworld in treating people. When they come to Xiangjiang, they are brought to the bureau for various inspections and then sent back. But this matter can only delay time and capture the first batch of people sent. If more people are sent from the country, any further manipulation will mean that there is no three hundred taels of silver in this place.

But this is already good.

Luo Cheng’s affairs in Xiangjiang can be postponed for at least half a year. When it really doesn’t work, I’ll give it a try to help. If that doesn’t work, Luo Cheng will have to make a decision, whether to return to China and be a stable deputy secretary, or to become a capital tycoon in Hong Kong.

Putting his troubles aside, Luo Cheng is now interested in an industry in Xiangjiang, which is television.

There is no TVB in Hong Kong now, only ATV, the predecessor of ATV Television Co., Ltd. Of course, even ATV Television Co., Ltd. later closed down.

Today’s TV stations charge a fee because not many have TVs and cannot generate advertising benefits, so they can only charge a fee. But Luo Cheng didn’t want to be a TV station, he wanted to be a TV set. Recruit some Ru0026D talents and produce TV sets yourself. It doesn’t matter whether you sell it or not. First, match it with your own industrial factories and companies. When the wages of people here in Xiangjiang are higher, we can cooperate with our bank to organize an installment loan to buy a TV.

Sell ​​the price of the TV set higher, and then cooperate with ATV to make them charge cheaper and help them get many users. As for paid TV programs, when Luo Cheng sells TVs, he just gives away a year’s fee. Anyway, the wool comes from the sheep.

In Xiangjiang, Luo Cheng had nothing to do but was looking for something to do, but in the limelight, he just made money by doing whatever he wanted.

At home, the entire country has ushered in a happy event. The debt owed to the Soviet Union has been paid off, and the Nghe An Automobile Industrial Zone has made outstanding contributions and received commendations from above. Although much of the credit goes to Luo Cheng, the current district mayor and secretary have taken advantage. In addition, China and France established diplomatic relations at the beginning of this year, and the foreign trade department reached a vehicle export cooperation with France. The price is definitely not as high as Luo Cheng wants, but it still creates a lot of foreign exchange. In terms of national debt, the current district mayor and secretary are indeed considered Some credit.

But everyone knows that without Luo Cheng, these products in the industrial zone would not have appeared, let alone exported.

Luo Cheng returned to China in late September. The two sisters were getting married and they didn’t have a banquet together. This excitement was not forced on them casually. Xiaoyu is scheduled for October 1st, and Shishi’s wedding is scheduled for October 3rd.

When Luo Cheng came back, the industrial zone was being commended by the superiors, so Luo Cheng shamelessly asked for another bicycle as a reward for his contribution. This is a request that the district chief will definitely not refuse.

In this way, plus Luo Chengling’s car at the commendation meeting at the end of last year, there were exactly two cars, one for Xiaoyu and Shishi, as dowries. In addition, Luo Cheng brought a women’s watch to each of them in Xiangjiang. It was assembled by hand. The price was not very expensive, but it was not cheap either. Not expensive was for Luo Cheng. A watch costs about 200 yuan. In China, Xiaoyu and her family have to save for a year in addition to expenses before they can afford a watch.

I already have a watch and a bicycle, as well as a sewing machine. Of course Luo Cheng also had the money for sewing tickets, so he simply sold two more sewing machines, which was enough to complete the three major items. These three turns and one beep, the three turns are complete, and the first beep refers to the radio. Forget it, it’s already very high-profile now. What’s more, this is a dowry. If it’s all taken care of, how can the man just pick it up for free?

The other thing is the salary saved by Xiaoyu and Shishi. Except for the five yuan that they handed over for food, they actually kept two yuan of the other money as pocket money. In addition, they used to be temporary workers, so they saved twelve yuan a month. about. Now that I have become a regular employee, it costs about ten yuan a month more, but it has been almost a year since I became a regular employee.

After this calculation, the two little girls actually saved more than five hundred each. But think about it carefully, living here, clothes, daily necessities, food, drink, and other miscellaneous things are all spent on them by Luo Cheng. Over the past three years, Luo Cheng has spent a lot of money on them. several hundred.

They have more than 500 in savings, and if you deduct what Luo Cheng spent on them, more than half of it can be eliminated.

One envelope for each person, and each envelope contained fifty big black tens worth ten yuan. Luo Cheng asked them to keep the money and use it slowly. Don’t just take it out and use it with the person you want to get married. They have brought the house, car, sewing machine, and even the watch with them. The man only needs to buy furniture in the house they share and then he can live in it. Shouldn’t the woman have to use the woman’s money for daily expenses?

It’s the man’s business to host the banquet, but Luo Cheng’s parents came to the city in advance to pick him up in the morning. The uncle and aunt also came to support the niece.

The dowry cannot be brought to the house in advance, but must accompany the bride when she is welcomed. In order to carry the dowry, someone was hired to build a cart.

The sewing machine, bicycle and other items were all decorated with festive red flowers, indicating that they were dowry items. As for Xiaoyu and the others’ dowry, they would envy the dead when they rolled out the boards.

Luo Bing and his wife were definitely coming too. Qin Ru was holding a baby in her arms, with a boy following her legs and feet. The second child was born, and the second child was a daughter.

Looking at Xiaoyu’s dowry, Qin Ru complained to Luo Bing that she had nothing when she married Luo Bing. Look at Xiaoyu, everything is there.

Luo Bing was confused by these words. This was her sister’s dowry. He should be the one to say this. He really didn’t have anything to do with marrying Qin Ru. Even her clothes were sewn by her grandmother from defective cloth.

Moreover, when he and his brother Luo Cheng took people to pick up the bride, everyone just drank some sugar water and nothing else. And when Xiaoyu got married, she set up tables and stools in the yard, with melon seeds and peanut candies on the table. Those who come to pick up the bride can eat whatever they want. In addition, the people who come to pick up the bride are given a bowl of sugar-watered eggs each, and there are two eggs in the bowl. Good things come in pairs.

At this scene, the people who came to help pick up the bride were so happy. These sugar-watered eggs are so sweet that a reckless person would put one egg in his mouth at a time, and it would slip into his stomach before he could taste it carefully. This is no joke, there are not many people in this era who can swallow an egg directly. Luo Bing can do it. He chews it twice for a show, and then eats the whole thing.

Luo Cheng has done everything he should be careful about. The brother-in-law also called Luo Cheng sincerely when he saw him. Luo Cheng is now the deputy secretary of the industrial zone, and is still a very important leader in the eyes of many people. The object of Xiao Yu and Shi Shi can be regarded as climbing a high tree.

After eating eggs, peanuts, melon seeds and candies, the man sat here for a while and then it was time to pick him up. Everyone on Luo Cheng’s side followed him there, so he didn’t drive everyone to the man’s side in such a high-profile manner. It’s better to keep a low profile these days.
