Goldfinger is a bit strange
Chapter 99: Age is a disadvantage! (1/2)
In the guest house, Liu Qingshan and Gangzi lived in the same room, and Gangzi was talking nonsense.
"Qingshan, Brother Fei and I went to Yangcheng. It was an eye-opener. It was just..."
"I've been to Yangcheng."
Liu Qingshan spread out the quilt and got ready to sleep.
Gangzi swallowed and continued: "Qingshan, you don't know, the Chinese tunic suits we brought back are selling like crazy, and we can make a hundred yuan a day..."
Liu Qingshan got under the covers as an old man, and then tugged on the light cord on the bedside. With a click, the light went out, and his voice came out from the darkness.
"I'm sleepy. Go to sleep first. The idea of selling Chinese tunic suits was mine."
Gangzi thought about it, so he could only lie down and sleep in depression.
After getting up the next day, after breakfast, Lu Wen led Liu Qingshan and the translator to the county government early, and stayed in the office of County Magistrate Wang, guarding the phone.
Just after eight o'clock, the phone rang on time, and Thomas's familiar voice came from the receiver: "Good evening, Liu, is that you?"
Liu Qingshan raised his head and looked at the red sun that had just risen outside the window: "Mr. Thomas, it's morning here, so I can only greet you with 'Troubleshooting'!"
The translator next to him was stunned: His English was really standard. If he had closed his eyes, he would have thought it was a foreign guest speaking.
"Haha, Liu, it's always a pleasure to talk to you."
Thomas was in a good mood. He kept chatting on the phone about promotions and salary increases, and about new models that had been put into production. It was like talking nonsense.
The translator next to me was exhausted. He was holding a pen in his hand and writing non-stop. He was responsible for recording the entire conversation.
Next to me, County Magistrate Wang felt very distressed: The phone bills and international long distance calls are so expensive.
Liu Qingshan was also puzzled. Generally speaking, it takes at least three or four years for a new car to go from design to production. This seems to be only half a year, right?
But when you think about it, it's just an adjustment in appearance, which is equivalent to a new suit of clothes, and you feel relieved.
Liu Qingshan didn't mind chatting with Thomas for a while to communicate their feelings, but seeing County Magistrate Wang sweating on his forehead, he interrupted the other party's boastful speech.
"My friend, do you want to finish everything we want to say on the phone next time we meet?"
Thomas's loud laughter came from the phone receiver: "Haha, Liu, the gift I promised you has already been on the cargo ship. Maybe it will arrive before me."
"What gift?"
"Of course it's the new car I designed. Liu, don't you have an old saying in China that a promise is more precious than a kilogram of gold."
The pen tip in the translator's hand also paused for a moment, and he looked up at Liu Qingshan, his eyes full of envy: a car, an imported high-end car, I want it too!
And County Magistrate Wang, who didn’t care about the phone bill at this time: I am a county magistrate in a small car, but now I still take 212?
Only Lu Wen frowned secretly: Comrade Liu seems to have a good relationship with foreigners, and he gives a car as a gift. Is there anything fishy in this?
Under the circumstances at that time, people's minds were tense. Even the favorite game of little children was: catching spies.
Liu Qingshan just remembered about the car. He thought it was a joke at the time, but he didn't expect Thomas to be serious.
Haha, a car fell from the sky, why are you so polite?
When in contact with foreigners, you can't deal with those who are vain, so Liu Qingshan expressed his sincere gratitude to Thomas and corrected the other party's wording mistakes:
"Mr. Thomas, the idiom you are talking about should be "a promise of a thousand pieces of gold". Similarly, there is also "a promise is made, a promise is made, a promise is made, a promise is made, a promise is made, a promise is made, a promise is made, a promise is made, a promise is made, a promise is made"
"Oh, the Chinese language is indeed profound and profound, but I don't quite understand the last sentence. A dead horse is lying on the ground and cannot move. Of course, there is no way to chase it?"
Thomas stayed here for several months in vain, and he also learned some Chinese, but it was a pity that he was a middle school student.
Liu Qingshan didn't want to discuss the difference between a horse and a dead horse with him on the phone. After chatting for a few more words, he agreed to meet again next month and was ready to hang up.
At this time, Thomas suddenly asked again: "Liu, my dear friend, do you have any new design inspiration in that magical brain of yours?"
Haha, the fox tail finally showed up, it turned out that I was thinking about this.
Liu Qingshan finally understood. No wonder Thomas was so generous and directly gave him a car.
This is indeed the case. After Thomas returned to China, the company immediately started producing a new car and named it "Trailblazer".
Old wine in new bottles, the action is still very fast. Two months later, the new car came out.
It's no wonder that they are so popular. AMC is on the verge of bankruptcy. As shareholders of the company, they don't want to be acquired and merged by other car companies.
Therefore, putting the Pioneer into production became their last life-saving straw.
What I never expected was that as soon as this car was launched, it sold like crazy, especially among the young people, who regarded the pioneer generation as their treasure.
There is even a slogan of "I would rather be a pioneer than a girlfriend".
AMC's orders skyrocketed, suddenly becoming popular again, and the company miraculously came back to life.
In terms of rewards for merit, the biggest contributor is of course Mr. Thomas.
But Thomas cooked the dumplings in the teapot, and he knew it all came from that magical oriental friend.
That’s why he sent cars and made phone calls, hoping to get some good stuff from Liu Qingshan.
Although Liu Qingshan didn’t know what happened, he was sure that he and Thomas were both beneficiaries, and they might continue to benefit.
That was enough, so he blew into the microphone:
“Mr. Thomas, I look forward to working with you again. Believe me, we will collide with sparks of ideas again, and maybe it will become a big fire that will sweep the entire automobile manufacturing industry!”
Haha, Thomas’ hearty laughter came from the other end of the phone.
The call finally ended, but everyone in the room stared at Liu Qingshan, making him a little nervous, and couldn’t help but make a joke.
“It seems that I didn’t leak any state secrets just now?”
This joke was not funny at all, and no one in the room was happy, and they still stared at him with big eyes. wAp.
Suddenly, Lu Wen clapped his hands vigorously: "Xiao Liu, wait for the negotiation next month, our automobile factory invites you, you must participate!"
Liu Qingshan smacked his lips: "I still have to grow greenhouses at home."
"Your greenhouse vegetables are covered by our automobile factory!"
"Then I have to raise pigs."
"We also cover the pigs!"
"I also have to help my eldest sister raise laying hens."
"We also cover the chickens, and we also cover the eggs!"
Lu Wen waved his hand neatly: "We even cover you!"
Then there was a hearty laugh in the room, and Liu Qingshan was no longer hypocritical: With the automobile factory as a big customer, there is no need to worry about the sales of those agricultural and sideline products for the time being.
"Qingshan, come and sit down and have some tea."
County Magistrate Wang was also very rosy. Although he spent some phone bills, it was worth it. Even he, the county magistrate, felt proud.
Who said that there are no talents in our Bishui County?
The key point is that the automobile factory is in need of people right now. With Comrade Xiao Liu's face, it would be too easy to approve dozens of trucks for Bishui County.
Everyone was happy for a while, and naturally they had a good treat at the guesthouse at noon.
At the dinner table, County Magistrate Wang mentioned the truck issue, and Lu Wen agreed without Liu Qingshan saying anything.
The car they drove was also repaired, so they returned with a full load. The car was filled with various local specialties, and even Gangzi had a share.
"It was really worth the trip!"
Before getting in the car, Lu Wen shook hands with Liu Qingshan cordially and said goodbye, and set off on his return journey with satisfaction.
"Qingshan, see you next month."
Gangzi waved at Liu Qingshan through the car window and soon disappeared from sight.
Liu Qingshan then put down his arm, feeling a little dissatisfied: You all have gained something, but I made a wasted trip, right?
No, it's not a wasted trip, I'm going to have a car soon, and it's imported.
Thinking of this, he finally found his balance and said cheerfully to County Magistrate Wang who was seeing him off: "County Magistrate, should I get my driver's license first?"
"Xiao Liu, how old are you this year?"
"16, I'll be 17 after the Chinese New Year."
"Haha, you must be 18 to get a driver's license, Xiao Liu, you're still young."
County Magistrate Wang looked at the young man with a smile, joking, but he was very emotional in his heart: He's so young and so amazing, I wonder what heights he will reach in the future?
Age is a flaw!
Liu Qingshan also wilted, and he had an urge to call Thomas: I don't want a car anymore, can I change it to a tractor?
Sitting on the county jeep, Liu Qingshan was also sent home. In fact, for him now, a car is really useless, not as practical as a bicycle.
After getting off the main road of the commune, a horse-drawn sleigh was in front of him, moving slowly, and there were two large sacks on the sleigh.
On their side, after the snow fell, they usually replaced the horse-drawn carriage with a wooden sledge.
The two smooth wooden rails underneath this thing have little friction when traveling on the snow, which is very labor-saving.
Seeing the figure sitting on the sack, Liu Qingshan looked more and more familiar. When he got closer, he opened the car window and shouted:
"Er Biaozi!"
The man turned back suddenly, and it was really Er Biaozi. Seeing Liu Qingshan sticking his head out, he was a little confused for a moment.
Liu Qingshan asked the driver to stop the car and told him to go back directly. He would take the sledge for the rest of the journey.
After getting off the jeep, Er Biaozi also jumped off the carriage. The two brothers ran towards each other and then hugged each other tightly.
"Qingshan, you seem to have grown taller!"
"Haha, Biaozi, you seem to be tanned!"
There was a whip sound from the front, and then the boss's voice came over: "Get in the car, and talk while walking."
Er Biaozi did look a little darker and thinner. It seems that this period of time has been quite difficult.
But he looked much more mature, and his youthfulness had gradually faded away.
Along the way, he listened to his learning and practice experience in Heilongjiang Province, and he was eager to try and show off his skills.
Liu Qingshan patted his friend on the shoulder: "Okay, let's plant 100 to 180 acres of rice next year."
Er Biaozi patted the big sack under his buttocks: "I brought all the rice seeds back!"
When the sled entered Jiapigou, many people immediately surrounded him and greeted Er Biaozi.
"Biaozi, what's in this sack?"
Zhang Ganzi patted the big sack and could feel that it was food.
"Of course it's rice.
Er Biaozi was busy chatting with the villagers and didn't pay much attention to this side.
"Rice is just rice, great, now we have rice to eat!"
Zhang Ganzi got excited, stood up the sack, and ran with it on his back.
A sack of rice weighs nearly 200 kilograms. This guy ran very fast. Who would believe that he is a lazy man?
"Hey, Uncle Ganzi, there are rice seeds in it. They haven't been shelled yet. They can't be eaten!"
Er Biaozi's voice came from behind.
Zhang Ganzi immediately felt that all his strength was drained away. His legs softened and he collapsed to the ground...

The gloomy sky was gray and black, revealing a heavy depression, as if someone had splashed ink on rice paper, and the ink soaked the sky and smudged the clouds.
The clouds overlapped and blended with each other, spreading crimson lightning and rumbling thunder.
It was like the roar of gods, echoing in the world.

The earth was hazy, and there was a ruined city, silent and lifeless in the dim bloody rain.
The city was in ruins, everything was withered, collapsed houses could be seen everywhere, and blue-black corpses and pieces of meat were seen everywhere, like broken autumn leaves, silently withering.
The streets that used to be bustling are now bleak.
The sandy road that was once crowded with people is no longer noisy.
Only blood mud mixed with pieces of meat, dust, and paper remained, and it was indistinguishable from each other, which was shocking.
Not far away, a broken carriage was stuck in the mud, full of sadness, with only an abandoned rabbit doll hanging on the shaft, swaying in the wind.
The white fur had long been soaked into wet red, full of eerie and weirdness.
The turbid eyes seemed to have some resentment, looking alone at the mottled stones in front.
There, a figure was lying.
This was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, with ragged clothes and full of dirt, and a broken leather bag tied around his waist.
The boy squinted his eyes and did not move. The biting cold penetrated his shabby coat from all directions, swept through his whole body, and gradually took away his body temperature.

Following his gaze, a skinny vulture was gnawing on the rotten corpse of a wild dog, and sometimes vigilantly observing the surroundings.
It seems that in this dangerous ruin, the slightest movement will cause it to take off instantly.

After a long time, the opportunity came, and the greedy vulture finally completely buried its head in the belly of the wild dog.
