Brilliant Years 1991

Chapter 130 I’m going for a big one!
When Cao Yukun arrived at Huguan Township, it was just past eleven o'clock and not yet time for lunch. The big Mercedes Benz stopped in front of the courtyard of the township government, and Cao Yukun strolled into the police station.

"Hey, the big boss is here!"

Cao Yukun knew almost everyone in this station. He went to junior high school in Huguan Township and lived in the dormitory here for three years. He was familiar with the two police cars in the station and even knew how to repair them. He had used every baton in the station and, of course, had eaten with almost every uncle and brother.

When I come to the institute again at this time, my identity seems different, but in fact it is the same.

Everyone knows that he has made a fortune, but people still joke about it. Wherever Comrade Lao Cao is around, he generally cannot be said to have a very high status.

There are a total of six people in the station. They don't go to work on a daily basis and don't actually have much official business to do. The busiest people are the household registration police. It must be said that Fuping County is definitely not a remote and poor place, but it is not as prosperous in commerce as big cities, and the floating population is so large that it is impossible to check. Therefore, after several waves of crackdowns, the local social security has continued to improve in the past one or two years.

Then the daily police calls of the police station are usually just about fights, people drinking pesticides, someone beating his wife and his brother-in-law shouting that he wants to kill the whole family, etc. Major cases, murders, robberies, etc. are becoming less and less.

Cao Yukun went in, passed out cigarettes in a circle, sat in the office and chatted with everyone, answering their endless questions, such as - how much money have you made? Is the beverage factory yours now, or do you and Song Hongxing own it in half? When will you marry the girl from the Song family? Is Hongkong fun? Are the people in Hongkong really that rich?

And so on.

After chatting for more than half an hour, Comrade Lao Cao realized that he couldn't help interrupting, so he finally couldn't help but interrupt and asked him: "Why did you come here?"

Cao Yukun smiled and said, "Come and spend money."

The whole office laughed.

In those days, Cao Yukun had eaten at everyone's table, and everyone was used to it, especially the two men who were almost the same age as Comrade Cao. They all treated him like their own child. After all, among the grassroots police officers these days, a small proportion of them graduated from professional schools. Most of them were actually retired soldiers who had transferred to civilian jobs, so they were naturally close to each other.

At this time, if your own children become rich and come over to ask for money, everyone will understand.

Chang Suo'er even slammed the table and said, "This is a filial son! He will go there at noon and eat him out of pocket!"

Just go, even Comrade Lao Cao has no objection and is even very happy.

Cao Yukun pulled Lao Cao over and asked him, "I'm going to treat you all anyway, do you want to invite your friends in the village? A few more people won't make a difference."

Comrade Lao Cao hesitated for a moment and went out.

Now that his son has become successful and has come to support his father, Comrade Cao naturally wants to take the opportunity to show off.

So when it was almost time to get off work, the two deputy township heads came to the police station. Sure enough, Cao Yukun saw Zhang Youguang, the director of the Civil Affairs Bureau.

As we were chatting, it was time to go out and everyone started to rush out.

These days, the management of public buses was not strict, or even no one cared. Drinking during work was quite normal. The two sedans from the office started up. Soon, two jeeps from the township also drove over. In the back seat, the mayor and the secretary of the township both called on everyone to get on the bus. Those who sat in sedans got on sedans, those who got on jeeps got on jeeps, and there were a few young people who vied for the passenger seat of Cao Yukun's big Mercedes.

The place was chosen by the secretary, the most expensive hotel in the south of the city, and we requested two private rooms.

Everyone was eating and drinking, and frequently raised their glasses to Comrade Lao Cao.

The meal cost more than four hundred yuan, but everyone was happy.

After two o'clock, the convoy returned to the village and everyone went back to their offices to sober up. Cao Yukun then strolled to the Civil Affairs Office - the so-called Civil Affairs Office, which didn't even have a deputy director and basically relied on the director Zhang Youguang.

Nowadays, there are a lot of redundant staff in government at all levels. Employment is a big problem. It is difficult to find a job and even more difficult to find a good job. Anyone with some connections will squeeze into the government. In addition, technical secondary schools also have to be assigned jobs, and graduates are cadres, so they have to squeeze in. As a result, a township government often has two or three hundred people. However, in fact, there are not so many positions or jobs.

So the final result was that the Civil Affairs Office, a leisurely government office in the village, had 20 to 30 staff members, but basically none of them were on duty. There was only one drunk Zhang Youguang sitting in the office.

"Hey, nephew, why are you here? Didn't you go home?"

Cao Yukun took his father's tea cup, sat on the sofa and said, "I haven't gone home yet. My family is building a house. I have to help with the work when I get home. Hehe! There are too many people in the police station. It's noisy! My father said that your place is a quiet government office and no one comes. Come and sit for a while!"

Zhang Youguang laughed, "Great! There are too many people here at noon, so it's hard to talk about many topics. I just happen to have a lot of things I want to ask you! You're really impressive for selling drinks at Hong Kong. Come on, let's chat!"

He also came over with a glass of water.

However, Cao Yukun was obviously unwilling to waste time and continue to brag about Hongkong. Instead, he took the initiative and asked, "The county called me and said that Huaguang Socks Factory was going to be auctioned. They asked me if I would participate. I didn't know how to run a socks factory, so I definitely wouldn't participate. But Director Zhao from the county said that it would be best to participate. He said that if you participate, you will just join in the fun and show your support. Even if you really want to buy, you won't be able to buy it... I was a little confused by what he said. What did Director Zhao mean by that?"

"hey-hey……"

Zhang Youguang is not an ordinary person. He was very smart when they were drinking and chatting at noon. At this time, as soon as Cao Yukun asked the question, he became alert instantly. He just smiled, sat down, and said, "Don't ask, don't pry. I asked you to join in the fun, so just go!"

"No, I'm asking, what does it mean that I can't buy it even if I really want to?"

"What else could it mean? It's settled!"

"who?"

Zhang Youguang opened his mouth as if he wanted to speak, but then took it back, "Don't ask anymore, you'll get yourself into trouble!"

Cao Yukun immediately mocked him, "Look at your courage. Are you frightened?"

Zhang Youguang glared at him, as if he was about to get angry. However, even though he had drunk a lot of wine, he still hadn't forgotten that the young man sitting on the sofa in front of him was not just a 19-year-old kid, so he didn't dare to get angry. "You know shit! There's a lot of water here! Otherwise, I will fall into it?"

Cao Yukun grinned, with a sarcastic expression, "Come on! I think you just scared people out of their wits!"

"fart!"

Maybe it was because he was drunk, he couldn't hold back and started cursing, "Am I afraid? I have no choice! You are still too young. Don't think that just because you are good at business, you can do anything. After all, in Fuping County, whoever is in power has the final say!"

After he finished speaking, he blinked his eyes, "What? You don't want to buy the sock factory, do you?" Cao Yukun was too lazy to respond, "Look at you, I heard my dad bragging about you, saying how great you are, and how the sock factory would be ruined without you. I thought you must be a big shot... but now it seems like, hey, Uncle Zhang is gone!"

"Oh, fuck, you fucking ..."

Cao Yukun didn't even give him any face, he just took the cup of water, stood up and left.

Zhang Youguang was obviously irritated by this. Not only did he swear again, but he also opened his mouth and was tongue-tied several times behind Cao Yukun, looking as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.

However, Cao Yukun ignored him.

After having a drink and changing the topic, you can basically figure out what he is thinking now.

There is no doubt that he has the ability, which he has proved with facts. As for his courage, he may not be really timid, but from his point of view, the power of some people is really too difficult to shake.

He was really scared.

However...it was actually Han Shidong!
The deputy county magistrate is in charge of the Light Industry Bureau, Transportation Bureau and other business in the county.

Just talking about the county chiefs, those who ranked ahead of him are basically a full-time official, an executive deputy who is also the county chief, the deputy in charge of the Industrial Bureau and important state-owned enterprises, and another deputy in charge of the political and legal departments. It is hard to tell who is higher than him, as they have almost the same say, just with different emphases.

Of course, Fuping County has limited heavy industry, and there is no big industry to speak of. State-owned enterprises have been lagging in recent years, but private enterprises in the textile, food, and beverage sectors have generally done well. Therefore, Han Shidong is in charge of the Light Industry Bureau and private enterprises, which is considered to be quite tough. If you insist on saying that he is the second deputy county magistrate, it is actually not a big problem - to be honest, he is actually the official head of the beverage factory! It's just that the beverage factory is now completely foreign trade orders, so this area is under the management of the executive.

If we really want to confront him head-on, the risk is actually quite high.

However, based on what Cao Yukun currently knows about the official and business environment in the county, this risk only seems to be significant. If he really has to take action, as long as there is no head-on conflict, there will not be much danger.

If you only target the pawns under his command...it will be a good goal to establish your authority.

By the way, give it a try to scare the tiger!

When chatting with his grandmother in the morning, Cao Yukun suddenly realized why Xie Zhaofang didn't call him - his precious daughter had gone to sleep with a boy without any matchmaking or engagement, but he was not anxious, nor was he angry, nor did he come to look for her, and he didn't even call her. It was obviously not just because he was optimistic about him and was willing to let him be his son-in-law!

He is waiting for me to call him!

As long as you take the initiative to make this call, you must speak in a low voice.

He had the upper hand and was in the right at once. Cao Yukun couldn't guess what he would do specifically for a while, but it was easy to guess his general idea - urging him to get married, making things bigger, these were all inevitable!

He dared to look down on foreign trade merchants like Xu Hualei, who was now very powerful in Demon City, but he absolutely did not dare to look down on local tyrants in small counties like Song Hongxing and Xie Zhaofang!

But it just so happens that the person he has to face now is just such a local tyrant!

And not just one, but two!
If we add a county Agricultural Bank president to the mix, well, that would be... so sour!
But I am not afraid, because I have the most favored thing in Fuping County, and I am almost unable to give it up - I have foreign trade orders! Large foreign trade orders!
Moreover, the Southern Tour Speech has been released, and the whole country is continuing to publicize and study it. The next step is that the spring breeze of reform will really blow everywhere. In the past five thousand years, only from now until 2012, the status of businessmen will be infinitely elevated. This is a rare opportunity!

Damn it, fuck him!
Establish your authority, spread your reputation, and put a brake on those people who have been coming to the factory frequently over the past month to conduct investigations and ask the finance department to settle the bills at a certain restaurant!

By the way, I can also take care of some trivial matters in the backyard.

Get it in one fell swoop!
…………

After returning to the police station and sitting for a while, Cao Yukun soon got tired of listening to everyone's drunken bragging. He put down his father's cup, got up and went outside to the car, took out two packs of cigarettes from the trunk, went back and handed them to Comrade Lao Cao, said hello, and ran away.

As soon as he got in the car, he started to make a phone call, "Hey, Sister Xiaolan, can you make something delicious for dinner? I'll come over for dinner."

Zhao Xiaolan seemed very happy. "Okay! Tell me what you want to eat. I'll leave a little earlier and buy some food. It will be easy to prepare!"

After he hung up the phone, the car was still on the road when he suddenly received a call from Xie Xiaoyu. The girl's voice was somewhat panicked, "A Kun, my dad said he would pick me up after get off work today. I... am a little scared. Do you want to go with me?"

Wow, it comes so fast!

This is indeed the style of Xie Zhaofang, the old father-in-law.

"Don't be afraid, go back with your dad, stay at home obediently for the next few days, and stay with your mom for a few days. Next week... Monday or Tuesday, I'll drive to pick you up, and you can live with me from now on!"

"Huh? Why?"

With the girl's innocence, Cao Yukun didn't bother to explain anything. He just said, "Just listen to me, it's absolutely right. And don't worry, your parents won't beat you when you go home this time, or even say anything to you. Just stay at home for a few more days, and then you'll be mine! Be obedient and go with your dad!"

She hesitated for a few seconds, but didn't ask any more questions. She just said obediently, "Oh, okay then!"

But he immediately reminded her, "Then you must come pick me up next Monday or Tuesday! I want to follow you!"

"Don't worry! Even if you don't want to follow me, I will go and grab you away!"

Just this one sentence immediately made the silly girl happy. She laughed a few words and hung up the phone.

After putting away his mobile phone in the car, Cao Yukun touched his chin, crossed his legs subconsciously, and lit a cigarette. While smoking, he looked at the roads and farmlands passing by quickly outside the window. Suddenly, he seemed to be back to the feeling he had in Shanghai this spring.

But at that time, I was mostly worried and anxious.

And now, more than half a year has passed since he traveled through time, and he has achieved some success in his career, but what he feels more is an indescribable excitement and anticipation - I want to do something big!
Please give me some monthly tickets! It's so miserable...
