- Chapter 324 Sissi arrives in Xiangjiang
The people from China who came to Xiangjiang to ‘assist’ Luo Cheng were ‘rescued’ by Luo Cheng, but told them that they had been targeted in Xiangjiang. We can only let them go back and let the organization bring in a few more people. It wouldn’t work if they didn’t go back, so Luo Cheng had to come forward and have a good talk with them. He didn’t come forward and had no chance to communicate, so he was sent back directly.
Now, at least Luo Cheng can ask them to contact China first and have someone pick them up when they are sent back. Moreover, sending them back does not mean taking them back with refugees who came here illegally. At least we can arrange a ship.
After solving their problems, no need to think about it, it won’t be too long before another group of people comes. When the time comes, I’ll think of ways to fool him, it’s best to increase money and beauty to seduce him.
The foreign girls in Xiangjiang cost hundreds of dollars a time. I don’t know if the people who come after me can resist it. There is also a fashionable and innocent girl. Even though it is only 65 years ago, people here in Xiangjiang are already good at role-playing.
This time Luo Cheng went back by cargo ship, but it was not an ordinary truck, but a renovated cargo ship. As for the cruise ship, the small Luo Cheng could afford it, but it was not necessary. It’s better to renovate a cargo ship. As long as you don’t travel far, fishing in the waters near Xiangjiang is also very good.
After returning, it was summer again and the weather was very hot. You can wear plaid shorts in Hong Kong, but wearing such clothes in China is a bit inelegant. On hot days, you still need to wear long pants, but you can wear a short shirt. Some older people who are not working can wear a camisole to enjoy the coolness under a big tree or in a shady place.
When he came back this time, Luo Cheng brought a lot of dried seafood and supplements such as milk powder.
I called my brothers, sisters, brothers-in-law, brothers-in-law, and so on. From now on, their sister-in-law will also follow Luo Cheng to Xiangjiang. In this way, if there is no big event in the industrial zone, they will not come back until some important festivals at most.
Calling everyone together for a meal, especially Xiaoyu and Shishi, their stomachs are not small. Maybe he won’t be in the country when the child is born, so I’ll give him a bunch of nutritional supplements and milk powder first. Don’t blame him, as the eldest brother, for not being able to see his nephew or niece as soon as they are born.
Even though his sister-in-law Qin Ru had already given birth to two children, Luo Cheng did not forget to give gifts and even gave her a lot of extra candies. All he got in exchange was a few words of greetings to uncle, which made Luo Cheng very happy.
This time I didn’t just stay for a few days in Nghe An Luo Seng, because I suddenly realized that I hadn’t played for a long time. After several meetings in the industrial zone, Luo Cheng also pretended to report the reasons why refrigerators and air conditioners were not selling well in Xiangjiang this year. The reason is attributed to the small population of Xiangjiang.
And as I said last time, there are only three million people in Xiangjiang. If it is in the mainland, how many people in a city of three million people can afford this. With this said, everyone felt that Luo Cheng was right. How could they know that the salary in Xiangjiang was close to two hundred a month.
Apart from things in the industrial area, Luo Cheng and Sissi went hunting for birds, mainly sparrows, which are still one of the four pests these days. During this period, Luo Bing also asked Luo Bing to catch cicadas again and fry them.
Because I caught a lot of sparrows, I asked the master of the canteen in the industrial zone to help marinate them. My sister and brother’s family shared some, and then the neighbors also shared some. As for the neighbors, Sissi didn’t tell them much about her trip to Xiangjiang.
I stayed in Ngee Ann for more than ten days, and with the travel on the road, it took me nearly 20 days to return to Hong Kong.
After driving to Shenzhen, we still didn’t follow the formal procedures to take the ferry to Xiangjiang, and Sissi’s identity was not processed in advance. The ship we were on was a cargo ship that had been refitted when Luo Cheng came here. This ship was only used for recreational purposes, it only brought people, not goods. The captains are specially invited and are on call at any time.
After Luo Cheng took Sissi on the boat, he introduced Sissi’s identity, and everyone on the boat called her Mrs. Luo. This made Dai Qianqian feel that something was wrong. For a few years, Luo Cheng told Qianxi that Xiangjiang was actually the same as the domestic industrial zone, only managing two factories.
Sissi didn’t care at all. After all, Luo Cheng was still receiving a salary from the industrial zone, which was more than two hundred a month. She went to collect it on her behalf. Who would have thought that Luo Cheng would have a private property in Xiangjiang.
But she knew enough about Luo Cheng that she could guess that he would definitely get some benefits in Xiangjiang. Because in the previous car factory and industrial zone, Luo Cheng did not receive benefits or rewards, and he received the most. But at least it’s within the rules, and if it’s taken openly, no one will say anything.
But now that she had just boarded the ship, she was called Madam, and Luo Cheng was called Mr. Luo. This title was obviously wrong.
Luo Cheng asked them not to disturb them. He took Sissi, who was full of questions, into the cabin. There was a big bed, all kinds of supplies, and even ice cubes to cool down.
“I do a little business here in Xiangjiang. As I told you before, there are no restrictions on individuals doing business here.”
“Yes, but this is illegal.”
Entering the cabin, Luo Cheng directly pulled Sissi to the edge of the bed, put his right hand on her shoulder, and spoke very close to her face. But this incident still frightened Sissi a little.
This person’s business is not illegal in Xiangjiang, but Luo Cheng is from China, and it will be illegal if he is discovered. It was too courageous to find out that he was going to be imprisoned.
In the cabin, Sissi asked Luo Cheng if he had done anything else that violated discipline in Xiangjiang. Luo Cheng thought about it, except for doing business. I am really considered a good citizen in Xiangjiang. Having my own power does not mean that I am not a good person. Lottery is also legal in Hong Kong. There are no casinos or brothels. If it is poisonous, cigarettes should not be counted.
The British colonized many places, and a lot of tobacco was grown in South Africa. Tobacco was easy to buy. Luo Cheng also built a processing factory in Xiangjiang and produced several brands of cigarettes.
There is a brand of cigarettes called “Qian Yu Shi”, a very feminine name, and the design is also thin cigarettes, targeting women. In fact, it is the thinner tobacco part inside a tobacco. It is no different from other brands of cigarettes. If the packaging is more refined, it can be sold at a better price.
However, Luo Cheng regretted coming up with the ‘Qian Yu Shi’ brand of cigarettes. This name is Xixi, Xiaoyu and Shishi each have a word, and when combined, it feels particularly feminine and classy. But it is targeted at women. There are indeed many women who smoke in Xiangjiang these days, but generally girls from normal families do not smoke.
Nowadays, there are more people buying this brand of cigarettes than in this industry. Luo Cheng was embarrassed, but the price and sales volume were really good. Therefore, in Xiangjiang, several brands of cigarettes were owned by him, and Luo Cheng was not going to tell Qian Qian. Anyway, except for doing business, everything else is honest.
Therefore, Luo Cheng promised to Xixi that he was just doing business in Xiangjiang and had not committed any other crimes.
“Nariko, please stop doing business. Your salary in China is so high and you can’t spend all your money. If this is found out, your life will be ruined. What will I do then?”
Sissi tried to persuade her, but she had no idea how big a business Luo Cheng had made in just two or three years in Xiangjiang. She only knows that the limelight has been very tight in the past two years, and fewer people even go to the pigeon market to barter for fear of being caught.
It’s easier said than done to stop doing business. The stall is too big and too wide. If he wants to stop, the whole Xiangjiang market will be shaken. When it comes to disposing of assets, how many Xiangjiang businessmen must join forces to be able to afford it.
He didn’t explain so much to Sissi, he just held her in his arms and said that he was too tired from Ngee Ann and that the two of them had a good rest first and that they would talk about the business later when they got home in Xiangjiang.
The industry is so big that it’s hard to explain at the moment. Sissi, on the other hand, thought that Luo Cheng was reluctant to part with the ‘little money’ he earned from doing business, so she didn’t continue talking. So he hugged Luo Cheng in turn, just like coaxing a child, telling him to be good and not to commit crimes for a little money. It would be really bad if he was caught.
Maybe they were a little tired from the journey, so the two fell asleep holding each other on the bed in the cabin. It wasn’t until we arrived at Xiangjiang that we were woken up by the crew.
As soon as they got to the pier, a car came to pick them up. Mr. Luo and Mrs. Luo addressed them both respectfully. The dock was the dock in Kowloon District, because Luo Cheng now lives in Kowloon District, which is more prosperous than the Wan Chai District. And his house is naturally a villa area built in a quiet place in the busy city, in a place with a lot of people.
Sissi was confused along the way. When she was outside, calling them husband or wife could be considered a joke. After all, she also knew that the vehicle assembly and processing factory opened in Xiangjiang was secretly domestic national property. But on the surface, Luo Cheng invested here in his own name. Sissi knew about this two or three years ago, but living in a house like this, there are servants, housekeepers, cooks and so on.
If this were to be done in China, it would take some big leaders from the Fourth and Nine Cities to have such a configuration. What’s more, even those big leaders don’t live in professional and luxurious houses.
Seeing such a scene, it took a long time for Sissi to finally come to her senses. Her husband was not just doing some business in Xiangjiang, but was a capitalist.
When her parents found her a young partner in the army, she felt that the people in the army were rigid in their thinking, and many of them were rigid. It’s better now. Grandpa introduced it and I also like it. People are not rigid, but they are not rigid. Became a capitalist in Xiangjiang.
If Luo Cheng knew Sissy’s heart, he would tell her that she underestimates her husband. He is not an ordinary capitalist, but a capital tycoon. He is the customizer of many game rules.
No matter what Sissi was thinking now, Luo Cheng and Sissi went to take a shower first and let the kitchen prepare lunch. Make it simple, just have a few vegetables, a soup, and some fruit.
As for the servants and maids, asking them to wait for Sissi to take a bath, Sissi would definitely not be able to accept this behavior of being a young lady, at least not now.
It will definitely take some time for Sissi to adapt to Luo Cheng’s property in Xiangjiang, and she won’t mention not doing business now. She had to understand the specific situation here and then advance and retreat together with Luo Cheng.
After taking a shower, the two began to eat. The tableware was also exquisite. The simple meal Luo Cheng mentioned was also sumptuous for Sissi. There is soup, shrimp, meat and so on.
Sissi has always had a large appetite, and she has always maintained physical exercise in the art troupe. So even when she came to Xiangjiang, everything was different from what she thought, but it didn’t affect her appetite for food. There was something wrong with not being positive about eating, and she had to have this attitude everywhere.
The next day, early in the morning, Luo Cheng asked the housekeeper to gather everyone here in the large yard outside the house, including the bodyguards. Bodyguard Sissi has also seen that it was her father who arranged to protect Luo Cheng, and now it can be regarded as a ‘rebellion’ in disguise.
Calling everyone over is to introduce to them the future mistress here, and Sissi will have the final say in everything in the family from now on. Even though she was brought from China by Luo Cheng, her clothes are a bit unsophisticated, so everyone can look down upon her.
After the introduction, Luo Cheng asked the housekeeper to arrange for a famous tailor to come directly to his door and bring various fabrics for Sissi to choose.
In the past few days, Luo Cheng will definitely accompany Sissi to get familiar with this place. He will take her wherever she wants to see. There is also the beach, where you can go see the sea and take a boat out to sea. Even Sissi actually likes fishing besides shooting guns. You can take her to the beach to catch big fish, relax and relieve the stress of just coming here.
In the blink of an eye, a week later, Luo Cheng was with Qian Qian almost every day. You don’t need various receipts to buy things here in Xiangjiang. When you go out with money, you don’t have to worry about not being able to buy the things you want to buy because there is no corresponding thing. On many streets, there are vendors selling snacks, jewelry, and hats, as well as people walking around carrying tool boxes to trim their hair.
In terms of life, it is indeed much more convenient than in China. Moreover, there are many kinds of products here. Some rare products in China are very common here, and the price is a little higher at most. No wonder Luo Cheng brings back so many rare things every time he comes back from Xiangjiang. It turns out that they can be easily purchased here.
The most important thing is the life attitude of the people here. Many people actually come from China irregularly. If you do some business here, even if you encounter difficulties from various people, you still have hope in your heart and your life will be good.
Anyone with some skills can earn nearly 200 yuan here, which is higher than the salary of an eighth-level worker in China. This makes Sissi feel a bit unreal. But what’s even more unreal is that wherever she and Luo Cheng go, especially in big places, they will be respectfully called Mr. Luo and Mrs. Luo.
It seems like it’s time to seriously ask how much her husband’s property is. But even without asking, she understood that there was probably no going back. I have to start to really adapt to the identity of ‘wife’.
In Xiangjiang, she also found what she was interested in, which was to be an actor and make movies. She likes the Huangmei opera “The Fairy’s Match” very much, and she is also very interested in other role plays.
Unlike domestic movies, there are too many restrictions on domestic themes and few varieties. There are not many movie themes restricted by Hong Kong, but at least the characters are diverse. You can also shoot things like ancient costumes, gods and monsters. This is possible in China and belongs to feudalism.
