The Lord of the World Begins from the Siheyuan

A package deal reached by several parties.

All people coming to Hong Kong from the mainland will be sent to Australia, with a cap of 5 people.

This number is roughly the total number of people in one or two years during normal times.

We’ll talk about what happens in the future later. Hong Kong has temporarily gotten rid of the burden of resettlement, and Australia has temporarily dealt with the current unfavorable public opinion.

The authorities on several sides were very satisfied with the plan.

Hailong Labor Service Company has developed a small business that Xingchen Company looked down upon.

Seeing the success of others, Aliang was naturally envious and said with some regret: "I really don't have the ambition to start from scratch."

Few people are willing to give up a position they have achieved and start from scratch unless they have no other choice.

Huang Fuyi didn't say much, "It's night time there now, it's past 9 o'clock and they should still be awake."

"I'll call the people at the Great Eastern Telegraph Office at Star Company and ask them to make an international call to San Francisco."

Brothers are still so loyal even when they are rich. Aliang said sincerely: "Good brother, will it make things difficult for you in the company?"

Huang Fuyi smiled proudly and said, "I still have this little authority. Besides, you guys also helped us when we attacked the Lu family last time. The chairman won't say anything if he knows."

Aliang expressed his opinion: "If you have any problem in the future, just let me know."

Huang Fuyi waved his hand and said, "I just said it, we are all brothers."

Lin Yugang, who was far away in San Francisco, heard that there was also a man who wanted to escape after slashing someone, so he readily agreed.

Huang Fuyi took the note from the waiter and said, "The person in San Francisco is Lin Yugang, nicknamed Dalin."

"He used to be a team leader of Xingchen Security Company. He also participated in a fight and killed someone before running away."

"I'll write you an address, and you can go directly to San Francisco to find him."

Ah Liang is a man of the underworld, and he knows the rules of the underworld. "It was finalized so quickly. I hope you don't owe him a big favor?"

Huang Fuyi said as he wrote: "Yuan is going to San Francisco. I can tell you more."

"If I say something bad about Ah Hai and Da Lin in front of Mr. Li, they will definitely be finished."

"Of course, I don't dare to gossip in front of Mr. Li."

Others didn't know, but Huang Fuyi and the others knew that Li Ming often appeared and disappeared mysteriously, and Qin Huairu also appeared very abruptly, which made people feel a little intimidated.

Huang Fuyi sometimes wonders whether the 'mysterious man' is related to Li Ming, but this is not a guess that Li Ming is the 'mysterious man'.

The simultaneous explosions at four locations including the Wellington Barracks last time made many people in Hong Kong believe that the "mysterious man" was an organization.

Since it is an organization, it must be composed of many people.

Others also have brains and can think, especially in Hong Kong, where there are many intelligence agencies.

The more actions Li Ming takes, the greater the possibility of being exposed.

Apart from writing a letter to a newspaper expressing his support for the police force's gang crackdown, he has not taken any other action recently.

More than three weeks passed.

11 month 1 day.

At night, in the small world.

Qin Huairu just came in, "There's a cold wave in the capital, it's freezing cold."

They were so familiar with each other that Lou Xiaoe did not get up and continued to lie on the recliner. "It's been sunny and windy in Hong Kong recently, very suitable for going out shopping."

"Shall we go shopping this weekend?"

Qin Huairu declined: "You should find someone else, I'm very busy."

Lou Xiao'e doesn't have many opportunities to go shopping. "When I go shopping with my mom and sister-in-law, I have to take care of them. It's boring to go shopping with them every time."

"The wives of those wealthy businessmen are all trying to curry favor with me, which is even more boring."

"Xiao Ming arranged you to work in the steel mill's work group. Isn't it usually quite free?"

Qin Huairu took off her thick clothes and said, "In recent days, the newspapers have repeatedly said that cadres went to the workshops and the countryside to participate in labor."

"Director Nie of the steel mill has driven all the factory cadres to the workshops to participate in labor."

"It is said that the steel mill cannot fall behind, and the cadres must realize labor orientation, closely connect with the masses and rely on the masses."

"There are only a few people left working in the office, so I am extremely busy every day."

Lou Xiao'e often wanted to try out the management methods of the mainland in Hong Kong. "Going to the workshop to participate in production can help me experience the difficulties of the workers firsthand. This idea is good, but there must be enough people to work, right?"

Qin Huairu complained: "You should ask your husband about this. He is also a member of the decision-making team at the factory meeting."

Li Ming denied this and said, "I just raised my hand."

"Besides, how many people are enough? Things like this can't be counted. We can only know after it's in operation."

"I'll find a time to suggest Director Nie to make some minor adjustments."

RM Daily and other newspapers reported for several consecutive days that a large number of cadres went to workshops and rural areas to participate in production.

"We must uphold the system of cadres participating in collective production labor. Our cadres are ordinary workers, not masters riding on the heads of the people."

"Cadres maintain the broadest, most frequent and closest contact with the working people through participation in collective production labor. This is a fundamental matter under the Communist Party system."

'It helps to overcome bureaucracy and prevent corruption and dogmatism.'

Even the steel mill bosses knew that some action had to be taken, even if they were insensitive.

Qin Huairu suggested: "It's better to raise it tomorrow. If you wait until later when I go to the workshop to work, it's better not to raise it."

Li Ming said frankly: "The intensity this time is a bit too strong, and there should be adjustments in the next two days."

"You're not the only one who has complaints. People in the workshop have even more complaints. No one is there to process applications for welfare subsidies, and there's no one to find when we need plans or get materials."

If a man is serious about it, the problem will surely be solved. Qin Huairu has time to chat, "I guess the workshop still thinks that you cadres are in the way and don't work like a job."

Lou Xiao'e asked in confusion, "Under such circumstances, there will be no good consequences for being sneaky, right?"

Qin Huairu sat on her own recliner and said, "You don't understand because you have never worked."

"I haven't worked for a long time, so my hands, waist and legs have no strength, and my hands get blisters very easily."

Although she didn't do it herself, Lou Xiao'e often went to the front line of the workshop to inspect. "Factories in our port city all have cotton gloves, and I rarely see them getting blisters or anything like that."

Qin Huairu explained: "They don't know anything. If you don't wear cotton gloves properly, it will cause blisters more easily."

Li Ming interrupted, "This isn't the first time they've participated in labor. It's not that they don't understand, they're just engaging in passive resistance."

"I don't know how to appreciate my blessings. I'm just too lazy to pay attention to them."

Lou Xiao'e was understanding, "If you want to go to the workshop to work properly, it's inevitable that you will feel some emotions."

Li Ming finished his glass of milk and said, "The steel mill is relatively stable."

"Do you think they are not grateful for what they have?"

"Ignore these messy things. Sister Qin is quite busy, let's take good care of her first."

Lou Xiao'e said with a wicked smile: "Sister Qin is tighter."

Qin Huairu had nothing to be ashamed of. "You dare to make fun of me? I'll make you pay."...

O(∩_∩)O~
. . .

Qin Huairu, feeling satisfied, hurried home to look after her children.

Li Ming and Lou Xiao'e were chatting casually about the company's business in the pool.

Resting her head on the man's shoulder, Lou Xiao'e said softly, "The French are too arrogant. After several rounds of contact, they still refuse to give in.

Li Ming said comfortably: "If we don't want to sell it, then we don't want to sell it. We don't plan to hang ourselves on a tree there. What about other families?"

Lou Xiao'e was also so pleased that she didn't even open her eyes. "After interacting with the car companies in Ouzhou, I think the Leyland Motor Company in Yingguo is relatively sincere."

"They have merged with Jaguar and British Motor Corporation (BMC) to form British Leyland Motor Corporation. They are currently merging their car lines and are willing to sell us some of their unused technology."

The British Leyland Motor Company, at that time, owned many car brands including MG, Morris, Riley, Jaguar, Land Rover, etc.

Unfortunately, it was a car company that was never stable. It was first nationalized, then split up and sold, and then privatized. Anyway, it was constantly acquired and resold, and finally went bankrupt.

Li Ming urged: "As long as the price is right, buy it. The technology of Ouzhou car companies should be similar."

"We need to speed up the construction of the plant in the country of magnesium."

When the oil crisis broke out, the car factory suffered losses before it was even completed.

Lou Xiao'e agreed: "Well, I will ask them to speed up the negotiation."

"Ouzhou's automakers have excellent technology in small cars."

"The 'MiNi' car of the merged British Motor Corporation (BMC) is very good, but it's a pity that they are unwilling to sell the related technology."

Li Ming said unconcernedly, "I still say the same thing. If you don't want to sell it, then don't sell it. Pick a decent model and take it to Magnesium for modification."

Lou Xiaoe is somewhat regretful that she cannot buy the best technology. “The market in Ouzhou is too fragmented, and the competition may be even more intense than in Magnesium.”

"In addition to the West German Beetle, which has an annual production of nearly 100 million small cars, Italy's Fiat, France's Renault and Peugeot also produce hundreds of thousands of small cars each year."

“We don’t sell the technology of good models.”

Li Ming turned his head and kissed her. "Anyway, we have no plans to sell the car to Ouzhou. Their fight has nothing to do with us."

"The more severe the crackdown, the better. Car companies that are short of money or go bankrupt will sell their good products."

Lou Xiao'e smiled happily and said, "That's right."

"Is your brother still in Ouzhou?"

"He's in Magnesium. The voting date for the Magnesium election is just a few days away, so he has to keep an eye on it."

"Have you collected the attitudes of the legislators from each state toward China?"

"I've collected almost all of them, especially those that stand out."

The purpose of collecting this information is not to bribe the members of parliament. Li Ming's money would never be thrown into these bottomless pits.

He first identified which members of parliament were basically impossible to convert, and then slowly dealt with these hopeless members of parliament.

If we get rid of a few of the noisy congressmen, the public opinion environment will be better.

By then, exports from the mainland will be more convenient.

Otherwise, if someone catches you and doesn't let you go, the import ban from Magnesium will be very troublesome if things get serious.

Only in a relaxed environment can re-export trade through ports, Singapore, Japan and other places become possible.

Only by vigorously exporting in exchange for foreign exchange can the mainland have more funds to purchase large-scale complete sets of technical equipment from Ouzhou, develop large-scale chemical industry, large-scale chemical fiber and large-scale fertilizer, and hope to improve the overall problem of food and clothing.

As for whether Ouzhou is willing to sell, there is no need to discuss this. Ouzhou’s current dilemma is that various countries have overcapacity, and commodities, capital, and technical equipment are all eager to find new outlets.

Ouzhou's industrial capital is extremely happy to be able to open up our country's market.

In addition, it can win over my country in diplomacy, contain the Soviet Union in the east, and also serve as a bargaining chip for Magnesium.

So, it is not that we are begging these Ouzhou countries, but that we need each other.

The same goes for the Magnesium Country. We need a big guy like us to put pressure on the Soviet Country in the south.

The border line of tens of thousands of kilometers is a huge pressure for us and also for the Soviet Union.

By winning us over, Magnesium can be said to have reversed its strategic disadvantage against the Soviet Union, and the battle for hegemony is already half won.

Of course, the fundamental reason was the Soviet Union's unpopularity and its betrayal of the Czechoslovak Republic, and the impact of the incident was extremely bad.

What the Soviet Union says now is just bullshit and it has no international credibility.

Our doubts about the Soviet Union are a very normal reaction, so we need to win over the Magnesium Country to offset some of the pressure.

Li Ming had a new idea. "We can sponsor some associations and think tanks in Magnesium to publish some research reports that will benefit Magnesium by winning over the mainland."

Lou Xiao'e asked softly, "Research report?"

Li Ming explained: "In the country of Magnesium, when it comes to public opinion, you have to do research reports first."

"The research report is just relevant research. The research results can be right or wrong. The person who issued the report does not bear any responsibility."

"We pay them to write favorable research results, and they will do it."

Having had experience dealing with them, Lou Xiaoe agreed, "That's true. I don't know about other aspects of the Chinese people, but they are more trustworthy when they are paid to do things."

"The International Development Agency has a batch of Vietnamese leaflets that need to be printed, and the order was given to our printing and packaging company in Gangcheng."

"At the beginning of the month, the workers at the Magnesium docks stopped working. It took several days to resume shipping. The Magnesium Army gave the Mars Trading Company more orders for daily necessities."

Although it is a small order, as long as the relationship is maintained properly, there will be a chance to participate in new projects.

As long as there is a new breakthrough and the subsequent maintenance is good, it will be easier to get more long-term orders.

Talking about orders, Li Ming thought of his key project, "How is the bidding for our pharmaceutical factory design going?"

Lou Xiao'e smiled and said, "We have invited many companies in China. They are very interested and are working overtime on the design."

Li Ming earnestly warned: "Ask them to design it well and not to cause me any problems later."

"If there is something wrong with the medicine, it will kill people."

Lou Xiao'e also doesn't want a good thing to turn into a bad thing. "We will hold a global health forum at the end of the year to conduct international high-end dialogues and start to solve the problem of poor people's lack of medical care and medicine."

"We have also sent an invitation to the FDA in Magnesium, asking them to come and inspect and give us guidance, and if convenient, help with the bid evaluation."

"That shouldn't be a problem."

Li Ming said with satisfaction: "Not bad, not bad. In the future, if we want to sell pharmaceutical products to Magnesium, the people we deal with will be familiar faces."

Forum, the role of this is self-evident.

Inspection actually means traveling to the port city.

For bid evaluation, labor fees must be paid.

One-stop magnesium country's advanced bribery methods.

The bumpkins in Hong Kong, after being baptized by the World Economic Forum, understood the routines of the Star Company and gave full support to the newly emerged Global Health Forum. (End of this chapter)
