My 1979

"Thanks to you, it works." Chen Dadi laughed loudly. Although his face was still rough, it was much more delicate. With his suit and tie, it was no longer easy to think of him as the shy farmer man he was before.

"What do these people do? They are all here."

Li He found that the hotel was much busier than before. People were coming in and out of the door, and many people were squatting on the threshold smoking. They were wearing awkward suits. When they saw foreigners with high nose bridges, they stopped them and spoke in limited broken English. get in a word.

Chen Dadi said, "It seems to be a machinery exhibition. All the guests staying here are exhibitors. Pujiang Exhibition Center is only a five-minute drive from here."

Wu Shuping added, "It is the 93 International Mechatronics Technology and Equipment Exhibition. The main theme is mechatronics, using electronic technology to transform traditional industries. We and Zhongqiao Roadbed have sent people to participate, and we are mainly interested in intelligent instruments and meters." interested in."

"I don't know much about this exhibition." Li He is not very familiar with the Pujiang Exhibition Center. The exhibition centers he often visited before were the Everbright Convention and Exhibition Center and the New International Exhibition Center. It is estimated that these exhibitions have not yet been completed.

Just as he was about to step in, the complaints of several people next to him caught his attention, probably because of the friendly local accent.

"It's so annoying! When we were at home, you said you were five to six people! Why did it fall apart right now! You are so energetic!" The speaker was a short, middle-aged man in his thirties. A young man with a thin build, he was complaining to a young man wearing glasses.

"I just graduated from high school! I told you that I couldn't do it, and you had to drag me here!" The young man also looked aggrieved, "Then what do you think we should do?"

"What should I do? How do I know?" The middle-aged man also looked helpless.

"Okay, we agreed that we are here to try our luck. If it doesn't work, we will just go back." Another middle-aged man wearing a short-sleeved shirt next to him comforted him.

Li He laughed when he heard this, and stepped forward and asked, "Brothers, where did you get this?"

Several people glanced suspiciously at Li He who suddenly appeared, and then looked at Chen Dadi and Wu Shuping behind Li He.

Chen Dadi is the owner of this hotel. They know each other, but it's not because they stayed here.

As for Li He and the others, they have never met, but they are not stupid, and those who can let Chen Dadi follow behind are definitely not simple people.

The short middle-aged man said, "I'm from Xuchang, what's wrong with you?"

Li He smiled and said, "I'm still a fellow countryman."

"Are you from Xuchang, too?" The middle-aged man heard Li He's accent, which seemed to be quite similar to his.

"It's not far from you." Li He continued to ask, "What are you arguing about? Why don't you go in and have a chat."

"No, no need." Several people waved their hands together. They were already embarrassed to stop guests in other hotels, so they dared to go in and feel uncomfortable.

"Brother, what's your surname?" Li He opened the cigarettes, and each of them scattered one. Then as soon as his cigarette entered his mouth, he did not refuse the fire offered by the other party, and continued to ask with a smile,

"My name is Chen Yousheng." After the short middle-aged man who called himself Chen Yousheng lit a cigarette for himself, he pointed to the middle-aged man and the young man wearing glasses respectively and said, "This is my cousin, Chen Youbin, and this is my nephew. Chen Lichao."

"My name is Li He." Li He continued to ask with a smile, "Then why are you so worried? We are all fellow villagers, so feel free to tell us anything."

"We are looking for a joint venture businessman." Chen Yousheng looked at Chen Dadi sheepishly and said with a smile, "I stopped the foreigner at the door of the hotel. I originally wanted my nephew to be the translator, but he said three words The words don’t make any sense, they can’t understand what I’m saying, and I can’t understand what they’re saying either.”

Li He asked curiously, "What do you do?"

Chen Yousheng said, "I'm a hairdresser."

"Stop hair?" Li and Ting had never heard of this thing.

Chen Yousheng said, "It's just taking the hair that was cut off from the heads of older girls and putting it back together."

"Oh." Li He suddenly realized, "I'm just making wigs. This is a mechatronics exhibition and it has nothing to do with you."

Chen Yousheng said, "We were mainly planning to buy three-joint machines to make wigs, but there were none for sale, so we stopped the customers here to see if anyone was willing to join a joint venture. If so, we can also export."

"Is the raw material for wigs?" Li He was a little dizzy. He knows about Xuchang's wigs. 70% to 80% of the world's wigs come from Xuchang. In the early 1990s, China could form a monopoly on the international market with only a few items: Wenzhou lighters, Chinese chemical raw materials, and Xuchang wigs. .

Xuchang is a world-wide wig distribution center.

Later, many people in Lizhuang started a business of trimming and braiding hair, and they all sent it to Xuchang.

Chen Yousheng nodded, "Yes, yes. We want to make our own wigs and export them ourselves. You don't know, the foreign devils bought our wigs at a low price and processed them into wigs with a three-line machine, and the profit increased several times, ten times or even several times." A tenfold increase. Well, the foreign devils made all the money, and we only made 5 million US dollars last year."

"That's pretty good." Li He was so shocked that his jaw dropped. He didn't expect that this old farmer-looking man in front of him would actually be a multi-millionaire. Such a rich man would be reluctant to stay for 200 yuan a night. hotel, but still smiled and said, "Then you have a lot of problems. You need both triple connections and export rights."

"Yes, yes." Chen Yousheng nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and then said angrily, "This machine is only available in South Korea and Japan. They don't sell it. We didn't see it at this exhibition, so we went back to develop it ourselves. "

Li He said, "This machine is not difficult. If you pay the full price, there must be a machinery factory in China willing to customize it for you."

After all, wigs are an unpopular industry and the market capacity is limited. However, no machinery factory is willing to do independent research and development.

"That's a good idea." Chen Yousheng slapped his forehead, "I really didn't expect this. Brother, brother, I'll treat you to dinner. Let's go inside."

This time, he was very enthusiastic. He took the initiative to enter the hotel and insisted on inviting Li He to dinner.
