The Lord of the World Begins from the Siheyuan

Luo Yun said with a proud smile: "A good comrade is someone who can't tell lies. Unlike some people who talk nonsense."

"The share of second-hand watches is now one and a half for each of us. I don't want more, but it will be changed to me 2 and you 1 in the future."

Admitting defeat, Zhang Haiyang bargained: "In September, the allocation will be as you said, and from now on it will be half per person."

"What I said in September is my sincerity in apologizing. I didn't keep my mouth shut. I admit it."

Luo Yun accepted it and said, "I understand that I can apologize if I'm wrong. I have a lot of experience, so I'll let it go this time."

"Remember! Don't speak ill of people behind their backs in the future!"

She accompanied Zhou Xiaobai to the backyard to water the mushroom sticks. Unexpectedly, she caught a clue and slipped away to the mushroom shed.

When Luo Yun walked away, Zhang Haiyang said depressedly: "In just one sentence, several dollars were lost."

Qiao Yongkuan comforted her and said, "Leave the money with her for now. I'll get it back next time when I have the opportunity."

Somewhat embarrassed, Zhang Haiyang said openly: "I want to find an opportunity to get the situation back."

In the mushroom house next to it.

Zhou Xiaobai is using a watering can to water the sawdust mushroom sticks.

Luo Yun hummed a little tune and walked over with brisk steps, "Xiaobai, are you done pouring it?"

Zhou Xiaobai continued to sprinkle the last bit of water seriously, "It will be ready soon. Did you encounter anything happy?"

Luo Yun picked up another empty watering can on the ground and directly told Zhou Xiaobai about the successful robbery just now.

Luo Yun finally chuckled and said, "It's okay to say bad things about people and get some punishment."

Zhou Xiaobai, who was also told bad things, responded: "No problem, Zhang Haiyang should be taught a lesson."

Luo Yun asked: "Don't tell Xiao Ming when we have lunch together later."

"Even if I promise not to tell, I will keep my word."

Zhou Xiaobai promised: "I won't tell Xiao Ming."

The two of them walked back with the kettle in hand.

Master Zhong from the Clock Research Laboratory came up to him and wanted to ask Zhou Xiaobai for help.

They were all in the same compound, so there was no need to worry about safety issues. Luo Yun returned to the food research laboratory first with a wink.

Master Zhong whispered to Zhou Xiaobai: "Team Leader Zhou, I have something to trouble you with."

Zhou Xiaobai has heard and witnessed it since he was a child, so he did not directly confirm it. "Master Zhong, please tell me. I will try my best to help if I can."

Master Zhong finished the sentence in one breath, "When we were downsizing our staff a few years ago, I applied for early retirement."

"My second son took over my shift at that time, and now my younger son is still at home without a job."

"This time I heard them say that Section Chief Li is going to build a machinery factory again. I just want to ask if there will be many people recruited this time?"

In 1960, the Planning Commission and the Ministry of Labor issued a regulation to encourage older and weaker workers to retire early.

"After the old, weak and disabled workers retire or die, their children can be replaced or given priority in employment, regardless of whether they live in the city or in the countryside."

This provision lasted until 1986.

As a transition period from 86 to 90, for older workers who started working before the end of 1957, after they complete the retirement procedures, an unmarried child of rural school age will continue to be allowed to apply for the exam at his or her parents' original employer, and will be given priority in employment under the same conditions.

With such a 'replacement' provision, many older people retire early and let their children take over.

Now that the labor service stations and labor dispatch stations in the streets have stopped job registration, it is very difficult to find a job.

The 12 regulations issued a few days ago also stipulate that all units are not allowed to recruit people privately, and even recruiting temporary workers requires the approval of the Municipal Revolutionary Committee.

When Old Master Zhong heard that there were new job opportunities, he definitely wanted to ask about them.

Zhou Xiaobai said politely: "Master Zhong, I guess you have also seen the 12 regulations recently issued."

"Because the document clearly stipulates that private recruitment is not allowed, and it is difficult to apply for recruitment plans."

"Their steel rolling mill plans to use streamlined personnel in the mill to form a new machinery branch. Even if they recruit people, there may not be a few places."

Old Master Zhong explained: "There is no work assigned in the street, so I am a little anxious."

Zhou Xiaobai said kindly: "Master Zhong, I understand. If there is good news about job opportunities in the future, I will tell you in advance."

Instinctively, she made no promise to help Li Ming.

Master Zhong said with a smile: "Then I would like to thank Team Leader Zhou first."

"You're welcome, I haven't even been able to help you yet."

Wait for Zhou Xiaobai to return to the food research laboratory.

Luo Yun whispered to each other and asked: "Xiaobai, Master Zhong is asking you to do something, right?"

Zhou Xiaobai did not say the specific matter of the request, "It's something. It happens that I can't help it. I'll talk about it later when I have the chance."

Luo Yun did not break the casserole and ask the truth as usual, "The little sisters in the school also asked me for help."

"I want me to get them some certificates so they don't have to go to class."

"Don't they just go to class if they want to, but not if they don't want to?"

"It's like this in school. They use it to fool their families."

Zhou Xiaobai said casually: "They can make it up themselves."

Luo Yun said in surprise: "Xiaobai, I find that you are becoming more and more cunning."

"You are the cunning one. I just told them what they would do in advance."

"It's really like this. When I said there was nothing I could do to help, they discussed getting one themselves."

Zhou Xiaobai didn't have any trouble with this. With his work experience and his boyfriend's careful guidance, he knew a lot.

Their classmates were asked to go back to class, which was also due to changes in circumstances.

Port city.

Security manager Xu Zhiyong led a group of security guards to escort Lou Xiaoe back to his office in Central.

Occasionally I go to various factories to check things out, but the situation is not very good. Lou Xiaoe's recent trips have been on level one alert.

The eldest brother went to the United States, and her husband also reduced the number of meetings in Hong Kong. She has taken charge of all the company's affairs ably.

Office of the Chairman.

Lou Xiao'e sat behind the boss's desk, looking like a strong woman.

Tang Hongde, who is already in charge of the clock and gift company, reported: "The office that Mr. Lou asked Jingcang Machinery to help find has been found."

"Ikura Machinery sent a telegram to ask when we will send someone there."

Lou Xiao'e said in surprise: "They found it so quickly. Hong Kong City has not selected the capable personnel from Japan yet, so this work needs to be accelerated."

Tang Hongde made a small suggestion, "Actually, I think we can send two people over in the early stage to work with the employees we hired to keep the company running."

"When we really want to focus on the Japanese market, we will send capable people to Japan."

Lou Xiao'e thought there was no problem, "Let's handle it this way." Tang Hongde added: "Miyota Co., Ltd. also sent a telegram, saying that it had received the third remittance of US$5."

Lou Xiao'e frowned slightly, "This research and development is like a gold-eating beast. It's hard to even invest money to hear the sound."

Unlike the Rubik's Cube mold making where you can see specific progress, Riben is too far away from the port city to keep track of the developments.

This state of things made her not very satisfied.

Tang Hongde didn't want to get into trouble, "Consultant Huang Fuyi went to Lawyer Chen's law firm to deliver information."

"This is the latest price list for real estate properties compiled by Consultant Huang. He asked me to forward it to you."

Lou Xiao'e didn't read the quotation. She won't start investing until next month. Things are not in a hurry. "Lawyer Chen, are there any new developments?"

Tang Hongde replied: "The registration information has been submitted to Magnesium State, and today we are going to submit additional information to Faguo."

“It would be great if you apply in one place and it can be used all over the world.”

Lou Xiao'e knew that this was impossible, so she just complained casually.

When she was chatting with Li Ming, she mentioned that in addition to the fact that various countries hold on to their approval authority, it is also related to the related application fees.

It is a good thing that it can be used all over the world. It is such a convenient thing, and the cost of operation and maintenance is definitely not low.

In worldly affairs, if there are advantages, there must be disadvantages, and if there are disadvantages, there must also be advantages.

at night.

Small world by the central pond.

Li Ming, Lou Xiao'e and Qin Huairu were having barbecue.

After tasting a little of each, Lou Xiao'e praised: "With your skills, you can definitely make a fortune even if you set up a barbecue stall in Hong Kong City."

Li Ming has a big appetite and is still chewing on the big squid. "Whenever I have free time, I will set up a barbecue stall in Hong Kong City and you will be the cashier girl."

"Has the security in the port city been restored?" Qin Huairu ate mutton skewers.

She hasn't been here for the past few days, and when she arrived, she directly joined the battle.

There was no time to chat in that situation, and even if we did, it wouldn't be appropriate to talk about this topic.

Not daring to eat too much meat at night, Lou Xiao'e drank juice and said, "It's much more serious."

"Today's stock market has dropped to a new low." A record low of 58.61 points.

“If this continues, I don’t know what will happen in the future.”

Qin Huairu said considerately: "Then you have been very worried these days."

Lou Xiao'e smiled and said: "Things in the market have not affected the company much, and the company's situation has not changed much."

"By the way, I haven't told you about the company's performance yet. I just have time to chat now."

After saying this, she glared at the man next to her, saying he was always acting up.

"The instant noodles sales in Hong Kong City this month are estimated to be 1600 million packs, an increase of 100 million packs from last month. The price of flour has dropped somewhat, and the net profit is about HK$85."

"The water supply has been restored, and the sales of instant noodles have also increased a bit. It is estimated that 1000 million units were shipped, with a profit of 30 yuan."

"The number of ham sausages is still 500 million, and the retail sales are still 300 million. It may have reached the market limit. The net profit is the same as last month, 55 yuan."

"The entire port city's net profit was almost 170 million yuan, which was a bit higher than last month."

Qin Huairu listened quietly and got in touch with the management of the ham sausage processing factory in Beijing. She knew that it was not easy to do things. "The output is in the hundreds or tens of millions. Thank you for your hard work."

Lou Xiao'e took another sip of juice and said, "To be honest, I had to make decisions on a lot of things in the past six months, so I was really busy."

"Now the company's business is on the right track. Several managers know how to handle their work, and I have a lot less to do."

While eating mutton skewers and looking at the chicken wings on the grill, Li Ming did not forget to interject, "I have reduced the number of trips to Hong Kong City, so you know Xiao'e must be more relaxed."

Qin Huairu retorted: "That's not necessarily true! Maybe you were lazy and left everything to Xiao'e to handle."

Li Ming laughed and said, "What you said sounds impeccable."

Lou Xiao'e said with a smile: "There are really less things to do. But things like immigrating to Australia still require you to make a decision."

Qin Huairu asked confused: "What about immigrating to Australia?"

Li Ming answered: "Australia is a huge continent more than 8000 miles away from Hong Kong."

"It's a vast area and sparsely populated. I plan to get some people to occupy the land."

Qin Huairu was a little surprised, "More than 8000 miles? How can you find a place so far away?"

Li Ming also felt that it was a bit far away, "If it wasn't so far away, we would have occupied that place long ago."

As those of us with abundant martial virtues, we are invincible and have the entire most essential area of ​​Yazhou within our grasp.

To the east is the vast sea, to the north is the severe cold weather, to the south is the disease in the rainforest, and to the west is the difficulty of food transportation.

The management costs seriously exceed the income, otherwise it will continue to expand.

Qin Huairu asked: "Can you manage a place so far away?"

Li Ming shared his plan with a smile, "Now that we have telegraph and international long-distance calls, it's not a big problem."

"I will establish a few small strongholds first, and then I will send a large number of people there."

"It's impossible to arrange for people to go abroad now. Once the stronghold is built, the country will probably become more stable. It's time to try to arrange for people to go abroad."

Seeing Qin Huairu looking over, Lou Xiao'e shook her head and said, "I don't know why he suddenly wanted to occupy someone else's place."

"However, he can do whatever he wants. At worst, the money will be wasted."

"Tonghe Xingchen Company on the east coast of the Taiwan Strait has sold 1500 million packages this month, with a net profit of US$30, including US$21."

"Xinjia Singapore branch also sold 700 million packages this month, and the profit of 14 US dollars was used to develop the markets of Dai and Malay countries."

"In two months, not to mention the clock and toy business, the overseas profits from instant noodles will be enough for him to mess around."

Li Ming grilled the chicken wings seriously, "You two don't have to guess. I just see them unhappy!"

"It's just too far away from us, otherwise I would throw a few bombs at them to let them know what it feels like to be bombed."

The two women looked at each other, "Huh?"

It was just a whim before, but Li Ming has already made a preliminary plan in the past few days, "If we don't use Xingchen Company's funds to do this, it will be difficult to do the accounting."

"Xingchen Company's money is reserved to buy land and buildings in Hong Kong City. I will use other funds to do this."

Qin Huairu didn't understand his other funds, but Lou Xiao'e knew a little bit, "Are you planning to collect money from the gang?"

"Don't collect money from gangs. It's quite troublesome."

Li Ming smiled and comforted him: "You don't need to spend much extra money to buy some land in Australia."

"I sell more than 2000 tons of wheat to Gangcheng every month. This money is enough to make up for the project's losses."

In Hong Kong City, wages can be paid to more than a thousand people. Lou Xiaoe thought about it and said, "I forgot that you still have this money." (End of Chapter)
