Chapter 269: train journey

The train departed from Huhai in the evening. Fan Huiquan, who got on the hard-seat carriage, worked hard and squeezed through two crowded carriages to the dining car. ︾︾ǎn︾小︾ said that he was going to cross the aisle next to the kitchen in the rear half of the dining car and head to the sleeper carriage at the back.

"Sorry, hard-seat passengers can't go to the sleeping car!" There was a man standing guard at the door of the dining car, and he stopped Fan Huiquan.

"Comrade, be accommodating, my cousin is in carriage 11, I'll go to his place to rest, and I'll be back before the lights go out at night!" Fan Huiquan didn't expect the management to be so strict today. As he spoke, he took out a pack of the front door from his pocket, pulled out a cigarette, and handed it over to please.

The other party waved his hand with a stern face, and did not take the cigarette. No matter how Fan Huiquan said good things, he just didn't agree with him. Hearing the entanglement between the two, another head stuck out in the kitchen.

Fan Huiquan was overjoyed when he saw the other party. The person who stuck his head out was a chef named Liu on the train. Fan Huiquan is a self-employed person who sells clothes. He goes from Shanghai to Guangdong to buy goods every month, and he takes this train every time. When he arrives for dinner on the train, he will go to the dining car for dishes, and after a long time, he will get to know many people on the train!

So Fan Huiquan immediately put on a friendly smile: "Master Liu, I'm old Fan! I want to go to my cousin's place in carriage 11 to stay for a while, and make sure to come back on time before the lights go out, so that I won't cause you any trouble! Can you help? I have a few nice things to say to this comrade and ask him to be accommodating!

I was unlucky when I bought the ticket before, I only got a sleeper and a standing ticket! You know, it takes more than 40 hours from Shanghai to Guangdong, and it's really hard to stand all the way! "

"Lao Fan. I know! Did you go to Yuezhou to buy goods again?" The chef surnamed Liu shook his head at him, "Xiao Cai is a new conductor. I just started working and I don't know you! He didn't mean to embarrass you. I have a special mission today, so I really can’t accommodate!”

Fan Huiquan was an old man, and he immediately understood that he must have encountered a special situation today. So he didn't continue to entangle, apologized to the tender-faced conductor Cai in front of him, handed Chef Liu a cigarette, and then walked back helplessly.

Because there was a VIP Li Xuan on the train, the conductor Jiang Dayong originally planned to lock the doors on both ends of the car connecting the luxury soft sleeper, so as not to disturb the VIP by the people coming and going. But when the conductor locked the door, Li Xuan happened to know about it and asked him to stop it.

So Jiang Dayong simply arranged a conductor at each of the two gates. It is forbidden to communicate with random people. Li Xuan and Lizhi were naturally not aware of this in the room. The two had dinner early, and then called Ke Lilun and another bodyguard in. The four of them sat around a table and played mahjong. They didn't rest until the evening.

"Boom-boom!"

The train wheels vibrate slightly as they pass over the junctions of the rails. In this non-stop slight shaking, Li Xuan quickly pressed Li Zhi's white net on the bed. Having **** on a speeding train is a very special experience, both of them find it very exciting and emotional. After a few fucks, he fell asleep.

The next day, when Li Xuan woke up, it was already bright outside the car window. The bathroom in the luxury soft sleeper is naturally not as dirty and smelly as other carriages, on the contrary, it is very clean and tidy. After the two washed up, they opened the door. When the conductor He Li heard the movement, she immediately came forward and asked the two of them what they were going to eat for breakfast.

The porridge is served with scallion pancakes, and the chef on the train is from Shanghai. The skill of pan-fried scallion pancakes is very good. Lizhi couldn't help but praised it after eating it, it was more fragrant than the one she bought in the alley before.

Vintage green leather train from the eighties. It is not the air-conditioned car of decades later, and the glass windows on the side of the seat can be opened. Especially in summer. If there are a lot of people in the car, if you don't open the window and let the cool wind in, you can just faint.

Every time you stop at a station, there are many mobile vendors selling things on the platform. It's only mid-September, and the weather hasn't completely cooled off. From time to time, there are hawkers selling popsicles along the carriages. The ordinary saltwater popsicles are five cents, and the more advanced milk popsicles are ten cents. Li Xuan bought a bag of apples from a young woman who was carrying a child, and handed her a piece of ten yuan and did not let her find it.

After the initial freshness, staying in the carriage felt a little boring, so Li Xuan simply walked out of the room and walked to the dining car next to him. Although it is not a meal now, the dining car is still very lively. Fan Huiquan saw Li Xuan approaching, the smile on his face immediately froze, and he immediately pulled another person at the same table from his seat.

The waiter in the dining car also noticed Li Xuan, and immediately stepped forward with a smile on his face and asked, "Mr. Li, what do you want to eat? Sorry, please wait a moment, I will clear a table for you immediately! "

After he finished speaking, he was ready to pack up the dishes and two bottles of beer that Fan Huiquan had just eaten. Although Fan Huiquan stood beside him, he was a little depressed, but he didn't make a sound to stop it. Because he only bought a standing ticket, he reserved a seat in the dining car early. But just now, a woman holding a child also had no seat, and asked the waiter of the dining car to make a seat for her.

It's just that all the seats in the dining car have been occupied, except for the two tables at the back of the car. These two seats are reserved for VIPs to dine, and the waiter of the dining car is unwilling to be accommodating. Fan Huiquan was soft-hearted and gave up his position to women with children. Then he interceded with the dining car waiter, he would definitely give up his seat when the VIP came to eat, but let him sit first when the VIP was away.

Unexpectedly, Li Xuan suddenly came to the dining car, so Fan Huiquan, who just had a good meal, was tragic. Fortunately, Li Xuan stopped the waiter who was about to take the plate: "It's okay, I'm just here to stroll around, I'm not ready to eat, let these two gentlemen continue to eat!"

The waiter suddenly didn't know what to do, for fear that Li Xuan was just a polite remark. If he really did what Mr. Li said, he would be neglected. This is, Fan Huiquan, who was standing on the side, said boldly: "Mr. Li, if you don't dislike it, you might as well sit down and have a beer and chat!"

Li Xuan came to the dining car originally to find someone to chat to pass the time, so he naturally agreed immediately.

During the conversation, Li Xuan learned that this Fan Huiquan was originally an operator of the Telecom-Bureau, and he had a conflict with the leader early last year. It happened that he had a cousin who came back to visit relatives in Hong Kong at home, so he was instigated by the cousin. He quit his job and went to sea to do business.

At first, all the clothes Fan Huiquan got were brought into the mainland from Hong Kong by his cousin, but now they are more and more open with the policy. The supply of clothing in eastern Guangdong Province is becoming more and more abundant. He no longer bothered his cousin, but instead purchased goods from several wholesale clothing markets in Guangdong.

"It's getting harder and harder to do business now. In the past, there were only a few people in Shanghai and Shanghai who set up stalls to sell clothes, but now it's spread all over the streets! There are more and more people doing this business, and the profits are getting smaller and smaller!" Fan Huiquan said with a sigh.

"Who said no, setting up a stall on the street is not only the wind and the sun, but also people come looking for trouble at any time! The Industry and Commerce Bureau, the Health Bureau, the Traffic Police Team, even an old aunt wearing a red armband can show me color! Still Lao Fan, you have a shrewd eye, and the storefront in the early morning will be turned into a regular army, so you don't need to fight guerrillas like us!" Another person at the same table answered. His name is Ma Zhongkai, and like Fan Huiquan, he is from Huhai. Also do reselling clothing business.

"Mr. Li, I'll add two dishes for you. Master Liu's braised elbows are delicious. You can try it!" The waiter of the dining car came over with two dishes and said. In addition to a plate of boneless and sliced ​​braised elbows, there is also a plate of cold salad.

"Mr. Li still has a big face. By the way, what do you do?" Ma Zhong asked with a smile. The fool could also see the difference in the conductor's attitude towards Li Xuan.

"I'm also in business, but the scale is bigger than yours!" Li Xuan took a sip of cold beer. said with a smile.

"Mr. Li, are you an overseas Chinese?" Fan Huiquan asked.

Li Xuan nodded his head: "I'm from Hong Kong, I'm considered an overseas Chinese from Hong Kong and Macau, how did you see it, Mr. Fan?"

"Your dressing taste is different from those of us. It's very foreign! There are also conductors who are very polite to you. If you are a domestic person, you have a big business. They also think you are a nouveau riche! But you are The overseas Chinese in Hong Kong and Macao are different. The government hopes that people like you can return to China to invest. Naturally, they must be treated well!" Fan Huiquan said with a smile.

Fan Huiquan actually said in his heart that you are definitely not an ordinary overseas Chinese. He didn't pay attention when he first got in the car. Before I got off the car to buy cigarettes, I found that there was an extra train between the dining car and the sleeper compartment. Ordinary people may not notice, but he has taken this train back and forth dozens of times, and he can see the difference at a glance. How can the overseas Chinese who can add a special train to the railway-department are ordinary people!

"To be honest with you, Mr. Li, I still regret my decision to resign and go to Shanghai when I look back on it. Although I made a lot of money, my social status has actually declined! I used to be a telephone operator in the Telecom-Bureau, although my salary was only one month's salary. Seventy yuan, but he is a state cadre anyway!

Now I can earn more than 1,000 yuan a month, but even my son is ashamed of me! Last semester, the teacher at my son's school assigned a composition titled "My Father". Some of the fathers of other children are laborers, some are doctors who save lives, and some are people's teachers who cultivate the flowers of the motherland.

And my son refused to write that his father was a self-employed person who bought and sold, so he simply did not hand in his homework! My son used to be a good boy, but he still talked to the teacher that time. I didn't know the specific situation until the homeroom teacher came to visit in the evening.

Now that I think about it, I still feel very uncomfortable, because as a self-employed father, even my son is inferior in front of my classmates, so it is meaningless to make a lot of money! A trace of bitterness flashed across Fan Huiquan's face, and he raised his head to drink a glass of stuffy wine.

Rich is Uncle. Obviously, China was not fully established in 1982. Of course, if there is foreign exchange, it must be Uncle. For example, the current Li Xuan, the special treatment he has received along the way is entirely based on his huge wealth of 7 billion US dollars!

"Actually, I used to be a boring gourd when I went to work. The conflicts I had with the leaders at that time are trivial things when I think about it now! Only after I entered the society did I realize that the leaders at that time made a few unpleasant curse words. The various difficulties are tricky," Fan Huiquan said with a wry smile.

Li Xuan chatted with these two small businessmen for an afternoon. That Ma Zhongkai was not highly educated, while Fan Huiquan was a college student before the Cultural Revolution. He himself said that he used to be a little arrogant, and it was difficult to get along with colleagues. After resigning and entering the society, he was honed to be more smooth and treacherous. The other party used such words to form themselves, and Li Xuandao felt that Fan Huiquan was quite frank.

"This is the business card of the manager of my company's office in Huhai. If you are interested in changing jobs after returning to Huhai, you can go there and have a look!" Li Xuan handed Fan Huiquan a business card before leaving.

After the joint-venture communication equipment company in Shanghai was put into production, it was in need of salespeople like him who had seen the market, handled things smoothly, and had sufficient knowledge of telecommunications-systems. If you send personnel from Hong Kong to explore the mainland market, it is difficult to adapt to the special national conditions in China. It is more appropriate to recruit directly from the mainland. If Fan Huiquan is really willing to join Dongfang Electronics, as long as he has the ability to make sales performance, the company will never be stingy with bonuses, which will definitely be higher than his current annual income of 10,000 to 20,000 yuan from selling clothes.

For Li Xuan, this was just an episode in the journey. After a long journey of more than 40 hours, the train finally stopped at Yuezhou Railway Station. Before getting off the train, Li Xuan asked his assistant to give gifts to all the conductors of the train set, expressing his gratitude for their warm service along the way.

"Carrier Jiang, what's the background of this Mr. Li? It's very generous, and a Huhai watch per person is worth half a month's salary!"

"You can't keep your mouth shut if you have gifts, don't ask if you shouldn't!" Jiang Dayong scolded with a smile, watching Li Xuan's figure gradually disappear.

The people who came to pick up the car, in addition to the staff of Dongfang Electronics Co., Ltd. in the Guangdong office, also a deputy secretary-general of the General Office of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee, as well as the staff of the United Front Work Department of the Provincial Party Committee and the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office of the Provincial Government~ www.wuxiaspot.com~ Li Xuan said hello before leaving Huhai City. His stay in Guangdong Province was only a private trip, and he hoped not to disturb the leaders of eastern Guangdong Province. The eastern side of Guangdong obviously did not make much fanfare according to his wishes, but still sent a deputy secretary-general of the provincial party committee to coordinate Li Xuan's itinerary in Guangdong.

The next October will be the autumn trade fair of the Guangdong Fair, which is held twice a year. Many exhibitors from various provinces and cities have arrived in Guangdong more than half a month in advance to set up their exhibitions.

And all hotels in Guangdong have also entered the Guangdong Fair mode, and began to vacate rooms for the upcoming foreign buyers. The Guangdong Provincial Party Committee specially reserved a small building in the Provincial Party Committee Guest House for Li Xuan to stay.

"Have you contacted Professor Liu Junliang? I invited him and his team to have dinner at night!" Li Xuan immediately asked his assistant Ke Lilun shortly after checking into the guest house.

"I have communicated with Professor Liu!" Ke Lilun nodded, "Also, Mr. Huo Yingdong just called to ask when you are free. He is going to invite you to dinner!"

"He's also in Guangdong? Let's make an appointment tomorrow at noon, and take the afternoon flight back to Hong Kong after dinner!" Li Xuan thought for a while and said. (To be continued..)
