Reborn Industrial Tycoon

Li Weidong's family was invited to a reception room to wait for Zhou Yunsheng's arrival.

There were fruits, melon seeds and snacks on the table, and a welcome banner was hung on the wall, making it look like a tea party.

Zhou Yunxiu looked very nervous and restless, looking out the door from time to time.

Zhou Yunxiu held in her hand a photo that Zhou Yunsheng had recently sent, and couldn't help but ask: "Why isn't Yunsheng here yet? Is it possible that I can't find the place?"

"Comrade Zhou Yunxiu, don't be anxious, eat some fruit first. We have sent people to wait at the toll station of the provincial highway. As long as Mr. Zhou Yunsheng's car passes by, we will bring him over immediately. He will not be lost." Hong Chunlai explained from the side.

road.

"Is nothing going to happen on this road? If there's any fares from Roadhog, it doesn't matter if you throw something away, but don't hurt anyone." Zhou Yunxiu said with a worried look.

Hong Chunlai smiled helplessly and said, "Don't worry, no matter how brave the road tyrants are, they won't dare to rob the Taiwan compatriot's car!"

"Is it easy to walk from Shanghai to Qinghe? Don't the car break down halfway?" Zhou Yunxiu asked again.

"Comrade Zhou Yunxiu, you can rest assured on this. The big city of Shanghai has much richer experience in receiving compatriots from Hong Kong and Taiwan and overseas Chinese than we do. They will definitely send good cars to pick them up, maybe better than the cars of our city leaders.

It's all good!" Hong Chunlai explained patiently.

Li Dengke also said: "Stop nagging, can't you wait honestly? Comrades from the Hong Kong and Taiwan Affairs Office have been sending people to keep an eye on it! There will be no problem."

"It's not your brother, so of course you shouldn't be in a hurry!" Zhou Yunxiu complained.

Li Weidong had no choice but to persuade: "Mom, don't worry, I'll probably be here soon!"

At this moment, the sound of cars came from far away. Li Weidong looked out through the window and saw three cars driving slowly. The three cars were parked in front of the building, and the car in the middle was on the road.

Li Weidong took a closer look at the next man and saw that it was his uncle Zhou Yunsheng.

"Mom, my uncle is here!" Li Weidong said.

Zhou Yunxiu immediately stood up and walked quickly to the door. At this time, Zhou Yunsheng just walked over.

The two were stunned for a moment, and the next second they rushed towards each other at the same time.

"Yun Sheng!"

"sister!"

The two siblings hugged each other and cried.

Hong Chunlai immediately glanced at the clerk next to him. The clerk understood and took a camera to take pictures of the two siblings. They reunited again after being separated for forty years. Such a touching scene was worthy of writing a report.

It is a very good promotional material to the outside world.

The two siblings cried for a long time, until their four eyes were swollen from crying, and then they stopped.

"Sister, this is my wife Su Qian." Zhou Yunsheng pulled Su Qian over.

"Hello sister, hello brother-in-law." Su Qian said quickly.

Zhou Yunxiu also called brothers Li Weidong and Li Weimin over and introduced them to Zhou Yunsheng and his wife.

When the time for recognition was over, Hong Chunlai stood up and said a few words that were not painful or unpleasant. After all, as an official representative, he always had to say a few words at this time.

Finally, Hong Chunlai finished his speech and asked: "Mr. Zhou, you are tired from traveling to Qinghe from Shanghai City. Do you plan to go to your sister's house next, or go to a hotel to rest first?"

"Of course I'm going home!" Zhou Yunxiu said without any doubt.

"Yes, we are not tired, let's go home first!" Zhou Yunsheng nodded.

"Okay, I'll send a car to take you there." Hong Chun said, winking at the people around him.

Li Weidong said: "Uncle, aunt, you can take my car with my parents! There are exactly five of us. Director Hong, please send a car to take my brother with you."

"That's fine." Hong Chunlai also knew that the brother and sister had not seen each other for forty years, and they were finally reunited. They definitely didn't want to be separated. Moreover, Li Weidong had his own car, so it would be better if the provincial Hong Kong and Taiwan Affairs Office sent more cars.

"Mom, uncle, please wait a moment, I'll bring the car over." Li Weidong said, trotting all the way to drive his Big Blue Bird.

After a while, the Big Blue Bird drove over, and Zhou Yunsheng and his wife also walked out of the reception room.

Li Weidong got out of the car, helped open the door, and said, "Mom, uncle, let's get in the car!"

Su Qian looked up and thought to herself: "I'm familiar with this car. It's Nissan's Bluebird. My family also bought the same car, but it's black. Well, why do I feel that this Bluebird is better than the one I have?"

How about bigger?"

While Su Qian was thinking about it, she got into the car, sat on the back seat, and stretched her legs. There was still a lot of leg room.

"It's more spacious than my Bluebird!"

Su Qian looked inside the car again and saw the sunroof at a glance, and then saw the button for the electric window lift.

"It has a sunroof, electric lift windows, and more space inside. This must be a high-end version of the Bluebird!"

Thinking of this, Su Qian subconsciously asked: "Weidong, your car also has a sunroof. Is it electric?"

"It's electric." Li Weidong smiled slightly and continued: "This is the highest-end Blue Bird, and there are not many in our province."

"Sure enough, it's a high-end one!" Su Qian nodded silently, thinking to herself that her sister's family, in order to entertain her, also spent a lot of money, and even borrowed such a good car, which is at least better than her engineer cousin.

Much better. When I was in Shanghai a few days ago, my cousin just found a taxi.

Thinking of this, Su Qian opened her mouth and said to Zhou Yunxiu who had just got in the car: "Sister, I really bothered you and even borrowed a car to pick us up."

"Borrow a car?" Zhou Yunxiu was still immersed in the joy of reuniting his sister and brother, and did not realize what Su Qian meant for a while.

On the contrary, Mr. Li Dengke, who was sitting in the passenger seat, said with a showy face: "Brothers and sisters, this car is not borrowed, it is our own."

"My own?" Su Qian was stunned subconsciously. Based on Su Qian's understanding of mainland China, it is impossible for ordinary people to afford a private car, let alone a high-end imported car.

"Weidong spent money to buy it. I bought it three or four years ago. It cost more than 300,000 yuan when I bought it!" Li Dengke quickly showed off.

The wife's natal family in front of you must not show weakness, of course, you must say whatever you want to show your face!

Su Qian opened her mouth slightly and roughly calculated in her mind how many US dollars and how many Taiwan dollars were equivalent to 300,000 RMB.

"If you think about it, it's really much more expensive than my Blue Bird. What's the matter? Yun Sheng said, his sister's family is poor and her living conditions are not good. How come the car she drives is more expensive than mine!"

The vehicle started and Li Weidong said: "Our home is not far from here, it only takes ten minutes to drive there."

Li Weidong drove in the front, and Zhou Yunxiu sat in the back seat, chatting with his uncle Zhou Yunsheng about the life he had experienced over the years. Li Dengke and Su Qian sat there, completely speechless.

Getting closer and closer to the Li family courtyard, Li Dengke finally found an opportunity to interrupt.

"Yunsheng, brothers and sisters, our house is right in front, turn east and we'll be there." Li Dengke said.

Zhou Yunxiu said: "Yunsheng, please stay at home tonight. I have packed the room for you. The sheets and quilts are all new."

As soon as she heard that she was going to live at home, Su Qian suddenly cried out in her heart. She thought of her engineer cousin again. A family of seven lived in a small house of more than 60 square meters. Not to mention how bad the living environment was.

You can bump into someone even if you turn slightly.

Moreover, it was Shanghai, one of the first-class big cities in mainland China, and the living environment was so poor. How could one live in a poor place like Qinghe?

So Su Qian said: "Sister, it's too troublesome for you to live at home. It's better for Yun Sheng and I to stay in a hotel. Anyway, your Hong Kong and Taiwan office has already booked hotel rooms for us."

"Since everyone is home, why are we still staying in a hotel? It's better to stay at home. Besides, our house is big and it's definitely enough for you." Li Dengke persuaded with a smile.

"My cousin also said that his house was big, but it turned out to be less than 20 square meters. The place you said is big is probably only 20 square meters!" Su Qian thought to herself.

So Su Qian started to evade: "Actually, it's Yun Sheng who always snores when sleeping. I'm afraid it will disturb your rest, so we'd better stay in a hotel!"

"Snoring? Yun Sheng, I remember you didn't have this problem before. Is it because of a bad trachea?" Zhou Yunxiu asked quickly.

Zhou Yunsheng knew that his wife was deliberately making excuses, so he could only smile awkwardly and explained: "After all, I teach and have to talk all day long, so I have a bit of bronchitis."

"I think it's because of strict wife control!" Li Weidong thought to himself.

Then Li Weidong turned on the turn signal, left the main road, turned to the area where self-built houses were built in the city, and finally stopped in front of his courtyard house.

"Uncle, aunt!" Li Weidong pointed to the door of the courtyard, and then said: "Our home is here!"

Su Qian got out of the car and looked at the two large, simple wooden doors, which were inlaid with round nails. The two door buttons with pepper pictures were made of copper and had a metallic luster.

Looking at the courtyard wall again, it is painted white and is more than twenty meters long by visual inspection.

"Sister, is this our home?" Zhou Yunsheng pointed to the door in disbelief.

"Isn't this our home? Come on, come in and take a rest." Zhou Yunxiu greeted.

Su Qian, who was next to her, nodded suddenly and said, "I have seen this kind of situation in Shanghai too. There are many families living in old-fashioned small foreign-style buildings. It is so big here, there should be four or five families living there."

?”

"Brothers and sisters, this is our own home. Where are the four or five households? We are the only family living there! Let's stop standing outside and go to the living room to rest." Li Dengke showed off again.

You must earn enough face in front of your wife, mother and family!

After all, Su Qian is a young lady from a wealthy family, so she has some experience. As soon as she walked in, she was shocked to find that this was a two-entry courtyard house!

"Sister, your house is quite big. How many square meters does it have to be?" Su Qian asked subconsciously.

"I don't know about this. I have to ask Weidong." Zhou Yunxiu turned around and asked Li Weidong: "How big is our house?"

"With a house and a courtyard, eight hundred square meters, maybe!" Li Weidong replied with a smile.

"The eight hundred square meters of the mainland are almost 250 square meters!" Su Qian immediately came up with the result in her mind.

250 square meters, a mansion, an absolute mansion!

Su Qian has always felt that her 70-square-meter villa is already relatively large. But compared with other people's 250-square-meter courtyard house, it is not as big as their yard!

"Didn't Yun Sheng say that his sister's family is poor and the housing conditions must be very difficult? What's going on with this second-level courtyard house? Do you call a 250-square-meter mansion a difficult housing situation?"

Su Qian's mind was in turmoil as she followed Zhou Yunsheng into the living room.

After walking into the living room, Su Qian immediately looked around.

21-inch color TV, yes!

There is an air conditioner hanging on the wall!

Big stereo speakers are also available!

"This speaker looks familiar. It looks like the imported speaker that I was reluctant to buy last year!" Su Qian couldn't help but take a few more glances at the imported speaker.

"It seems like it's really the imported stereo that I couldn't bear to buy! Didn't Yun Sheng say that my sister's family is poor? Why do they even have high-end imported speakers!"

"Brothers and sisters, sit down quickly and I'll pour you some tea!" Li Dengke greeted.

Su Qian nodded and then sat on a wooden chair.

"This is rosewood!" Su Qian came from a wealthy family and quickly recognized the material of the chair.

"Rosewood furniture, this kind of rosewood furniture, could only be afforded by wealthy families forty or fifty years ago! Didn't Yun Sheng say that my sister's life was hard? Using rosewood furniture means life is hard.

?”

At this time, Li Dengke came over with a tea set and made tea for Zhou Yunsheng and his wife.

"The purple clay teapot is a set of eleven pieces. The color looks like an old item, like the set of heirlooms I have at home." Su Qian recognized the tea set in Li Dengke's hand.

Su Qian also has a set of purple clay teapots at home, which her father left as a family heirloom to his brother. The style is very similar to the one in Li Dengke's hands, as if they were made by the same famous artist.

"What on earth is going on? Didn't Yun Sheng say that his sister's family is poor?"

Before that, Zhou Yunsheng had taken various vaccinations, saying that Qinghe was a poor place, the living conditions of her sister's family were not good, the living environment was poor, etc. Su Qian was mentally prepared to face her sister and brother-in-law, who were living in poverty, with a sallow complexion and thin skin.

nephew, and an old house that lacks bricks and tiles.

However, when she actually came to Qinghe, what Su Qian saw was the high-end version of the Big Blue Bird, the 800-square-meter courtyard, imported stereos that she was reluctant to buy, rosewood furniture, and antique purple clay pots.

All this is completely different from what Zhou Yunsheng said before!

In my impression, my sister, who lives in poverty, is richer than my own family!

Thinking of this, Su Qian quickly looked around the TV to make sure Li Weidong didn't buy a video recorder at home.

"Fortunately, I don't have a video recorder, otherwise I wouldn't be able to give this gift away!" Su Qian thought to herself.

…

Everyone exchanged pleasantries in the living room, and Li Weidong's sisters also came to the new house after get off work one after another.

Then Zhou Yunxiu introduced several daughters and sons-in-law to Zhou Yunsheng.

The family was enjoying themselves happily, and it was finally time to eat.

At this time, Li Weidong's sisters were busy in the kitchen.

"I'm going to see how the food is being cooked." Zhou Yunxiu stood up and went to the kitchen.

Zhou Yunsheng winked at Su Qian, and Su Qian stood up and said, "Sister, let me help you."

"No, if you sit down to drink tea, how can I ask you to help with the cooking?" Zhou Yunxiu said quickly.

"It's okay, I'm used to cooking at home." Su Qian followed Zhou Yunxiu into the kitchen.

Cold dishes, hot dishes, and soups are all almost ready. They are all placed on the kitchen table and covered with plates to keep them warm.

"Are the dishes ready?" Zhou Yunxiu asked.

"Mom, there are two more soups!" the eldest sister Li Chunhong replied.

Su Qian's sharp eyes saw the air fryer in the kitchen at a glance.

"Sister, is that an air fryer?" Su Qian asked.

"It's called this. Wei Dong got it. It's not as convenient as deep-frying, so I don't use it much." Zhou Yunxiu answered.

"There are even air fryers that are popular in the United States!" Su Qian felt like she was hit again.

Su Qian had seen this air fryer at Mrs. Wang's house next door. It is said to be a popular new product in the United States.

Su Qian originally wanted her friend to purchase one from the United States, but when she found out that this air fryer cost more than five hundred dollars in the United States, Su Qian gave up the idea of ​​purchasing it on behalf of her as soon as she heard the price.

Unexpectedly, the air fryer that I was unwilling to buy would appear in the home of a poor sister in mainland China, and it would be left there to collect dust.

At this time, Zhou Yunxiu continued: "Brother and sister, if you like it, I will give you one as a gift when you leave."

"Sister, this thing is too expensive, I can't have it." Su Qian quickly said politely, but she still wanted it in her heart.

But Zhou Yunxiu said: "It's okay, it's just an electric cooker! Take a few more and give them to relatives and friends. I'll ask Weidong to give them to you tomorrow!"

"How many more units should I get?" Su Qian was slightly startled.

An air fryer costing more than 500 US dollars was reluctant to buy even one. When it came to Zhou Yunxiu’s mouth, it was like cabbage, sold by the pound!

These words are not very harmful, but extremely insulting!

…

Finally, the family came to the dining table.

After three rounds of drinking, the chats between everyone were no longer so formal.

"Weidong, I heard that you set up a factory and became the director yourself? Are mainland policies now open enough that you can set up your own factory?" Zhou Yunsheng asked.

"There are already many self-employed people in mainland China, and policies will become more and more open in the future. In detail, private enterprises will become stronger and stronger in the future!" Li Weidong said.

"What's the scale of your factory?" Zhou Yunsheng asked.

"There are less than 300 workers now, and a factory has just been built recently. I plan to expand to 500 workers," Li Weidong replied.

Zhou Yunsheng nodded: "A company with five hundred workers is quite large! Since this company can expand, it means that the benefits are pretty good, right?"

"The benefits are quite good. Our factory is mainly engaged in foreign trade business. We take orders from foreign businessmen from the Canton Fair, produce them and sell them to foreign countries." Li Weidong replied.

"International trade is great, and profits are really high!" Zhou Yunsheng then asked, "How many orders can your factory receive in a year?"

"At the Canton Fair in April, we received 22 million orders." Li Weidong answered.

"Twenty-two million yuan? That's a lot. It's equivalent to Taiwan dollars..." Zhou Yunsheng began to do mental calculations.

Li Weidong interrupted Zhou Yunsheng's mental arithmetic: "Uncle, it's 22 million U.S. dollars! All transactions at the Canton Fair are calculated in U.S. dollars."

"Dollars!" Zhou Yunsheng was immediately shocked.

Twenty-two million US dollars! For Zhou Yunsheng, it is an astronomical figure!

An order of US$22,000, even with a 10% profit, is still US$2.2 million. Zhou Yunsheng would not be able to earn that much money even if he was a university professor for the rest of his life.

Mr. Li Dengke also deliberately showed off his son. He said: "Weidong is still in Hong Kong Island and has opened a company in partnership with others."

"There are still companies on Hong Kong Island?" Zhou Yunsheng was even more shocked.

"The company in Hong Kong mainly does some patent operation business, and it doesn't make much money, only two to three million a year!" Li Weidong replied.

"Two to three million Hong Kong dollars is quite a lot." Zhou Yunsheng said subconsciously.

"Uncle, these two to three million are also US dollars!" Liu Weidong said.

Zhou Yunsheng's brain suddenly froze!

Su Qian subconsciously touched her pocket and found the red envelope containing three hundred dollars.

People are talking about a big business worth millions or tens of millions of dollars. How can they have the nerve to take out this three hundred dollar red envelope!

…

In the end, Zhou Yunsheng and Su Qian did not go to the hotel, but stayed in a guest room in the courtyard.

The guest room is fully equipped with a TV and air conditioner, and there is a separate bathroom next to it.

Su Qian touched the bed in the guest room and confirmed that it belonged to Huanghuali.

There are no huanghuali beds in the hotel.

"Yunsheng? Didn't you say that your sister's family is poor? What's going on? You drive an imported luxury car, live in such a big courtyard, use rosewood furniture, the latest American appliances in the kitchen, and even the guest rooms

Use a Huanghuali bed!" Su Qian said.

"How did I know this?" Zhou Yunsheng continued with an embarrassed look on his face: "How could I have imagined that my nephew is so promising and does big business worth tens of millions of dollars!"

"I always thought that my Su family was a wealthy family, but now it seems that it is nothing compared to your Zhou family!" Su Qian said with a sneer: "Zhou Yunsheng, what else are you hiding from me? Come on!

Let’s face it, you must not even think about going to bed tonight!”
