I regret it so much
Chapter 2755 I regret it so much
The city of Sijiu, nine departments.
Li Hongfeng had just gotten out of his cot and, seeing that it was pitch black outside the window, habitually rubbed his aching back.
This cot is really hard.
But that's exactly what he wanted.
A bed that's too soft will only make it harder for people to get up.
Time is limited; every extra hour of sleep means one less hour to dedicate to the revolution and construction.
After massaging his lower back a couple of times, Li Hongfeng prepared to wash his face, then take a walk around the factory area, have lunch, and then start his day's work.
I had just gotten out of bed when I vaguely heard a phone ringing.
Yes, it must be a phone call.
I glanced down at my watch; it was a little past five in the morning.
Who would call at this time?
That must have been an important call.
Thinking of this, Li Hongfeng put on a coat and walked out of the office, then raised his voice a little.
After walking a few steps down the corridor, I confirmed that it was a phone call from Yang Xiaotao's office.
At this moment, the security personnel on patrol saw Li Hongfeng and rushed forward to inquire about the situation.
"You have the key to Director Yang's office, don't you?"
The guard nodded, then opened the office door under Li Hongfeng's watchful gaze.
The phone on the table was still ringing.
Li Hongfeng didn't stop; he went straight to the table and picked up the phone.
"Hello, who is this? This is Li Hongfeng!"
Upon hearing Li Hongfeng's words, the person on the other end immediately said, "Comrade Li Hongfeng, hello, I am Li Rong!"
"Ah, Comrade Li Rong, hello. What can I do for you? We haven't started work yet, and Director Yang hasn't arrived."
Li Hongfeng quickly explained, and after a pause on the other end of the phone, he said, "Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot the time!"
Li Hongfeng scratched his head, had he forgotten the time?
However, considering that the other person is about the same age as him and also doesn't get much sleep, it's normal for them to get up and work at this time.
However, Li Hongfeng quickly realized, "It's alright, you can tell me if there's anything you need, and I'll pass it on to Director Yang!"
Li Hongfeng said earnestly that while there are some things he has the right to know, there are also some things he will not know.
"There is something extremely important!"
Li Rong's urgent voice came from the other end of the phone, which made Li Hongfeng's mind go blank.
"You mean Hong Kong needs 10,000 game consoles?"
"It has to be delivered in two days, that is, before sunset tomorrow?"
"There are batteries too? Size 2 batteries? How many? Fifty thousand?"
Li Hongfeng was stunned.
"How will you send it? By plane. I've already contacted the airport. Once it's loaded, it'll fly south!"
"Yes, everything is arranged. You must start production quickly, you must speed up production..."
"Sending just one of these over would cost a thousand yuan..."
Li Rong sounded anxious on the phone. She'd just woken up and wasn't feeling her best, but Li Hongfeng was starting to feel a bit better.
Upon hearing the price of a game console—one thousand Hong Kong dollars—Li Hongfeng couldn't help but pinch his thigh.
Don't say things like the Hong Kong dollar is worthless, or that based on the exchange rate, three Hong Kong dollars are not as good as one dollar here.
But that depends on whether they acknowledge it or not.
If you take a million dollars to Hong Kong, do you think they'll sell you anything?
It might be seen as nothing more than waste paper in other people's eyes.
Yes, it's just writing "one million" on a piece of scrap paper.
Money is used to buy things; it requires purchasing power.
In other words, money is what you can buy things with.
With this money, they could purchase supplies in Hong Kong.
You know, Hong Kong is a financial center, what kind of resources doesn't it have?
What can't you buy?
Supplies, these are the real things.
"Don't worry, I'll arrange it right now!"
"Send the plane today!"
"There's no mission that our nine departments can't complete!"
After saying that, Li Hongfeng hung up the phone and looked at the security personnel who had followed him in. He immediately said, "Go and notify the convoy immediately. Tell them how many people and how many vehicles they have, and send them to the Tianjin Electronics Factory right away."
"Yes!"
The security guard rushed over, and Li Hongfeng walked a few steps in Yang Xiaotao's office before picking up the phone.
Regardless, let's try calling first.
Otherwise, you can call the duty phone, but that will take up some time.
Tianjin, electronics factory.
Inside the factory manager's office, a series of snores could be heard; the person inside was sleeping very comfortably.
They were all cots, but the difference was that some people had one quilt on them, while others had two quilts and an overcoat.
Ring ring ring
A piercing sound suddenly rang out, and Gui Ming, who was having a sweet dream, abruptly raised his head and opened his eyes. He then sat up abruptly, staring at the ringing phone, not quite understanding what was happening.
After seven or eight seconds, Guiming hurriedly answered the phone, his cotton shoes tucked in.
Yawning, he asked, "Who is it?"
Then Guiming perked up.
"Yes, Secretary Li, hello."
"No trouble at all. I was just worried about causing any delays, so I set up a bed in my office."
"Yes, yes, are you serious?"
"Yes, we guarantee to complete the mission."
"Don't worry, we'll finish 10,000 units today. We won't go home until we've done it."
patter
After hanging up the phone, Gui Ming jumped up on the spot, shouting "Hahaha!"
"My dream has come true."
"Thank you, Mr. Marx!"
After shouting, Gui Ming clasped his hands together and bowed to the sky, then put on his coat and ran out the door.
"Security department, where are the security personnel?"
"Everyone, come and assemble! Assemble!"
Gui Ming's voice was shrill in the darkness, yet it carried far.
Hula la
A sound of footsteps approached, and the security guards on duty immediately ran over.
The security officer was taken aback when he saw the factory manager's excited expression, then quickly asked, "Manager, all the security personnel on duty tonight are here. What are your instructions?"
I was still a little excited when I spoke.
That would be great if there were missions to catch bad guys.
They've been cooped up in the factory lately, making it difficult to catch the bad guys.
Gui Ming didn't care about what the security personnel thought at all. He just glanced at everyone and then said seriously, "According to the instructions from higher authorities, you will now send people in batches to call back all the factory workers."
"Tell them the mission is extremely urgent."
"I want to see the workshop in production by 6 o'clock. If any workshop fails to do so, the director and all managers below him will be punished, and the workers' benefits will be halved."
"Warehouse and logistics personnel should also be in place before 6 a.m.
"Do you understand?"
Gui Ming practically shouted it out, and the security personnel present immediately realized the seriousness of the situation. Without delay, they quickly dispersed.
Some people drove cars, some rode bicycles, and some ran to various compounds to deliver the notices.
It was still dark outside, the pre-dawn darkness shrouded the earth, but the noise from the electronics factory was like an alarm clock, suddenly waking up the entire city of Tianjin.
Gui Ming stood in front of the office building, rubbing his palms together from time to time.
At this moment, he felt no displeasure, but rather a sense of relief that the task of playing the game console had fallen to them.
As Guiming gazed at the night sky, he chuckled softly, then thought of that young figure again.
He could only admire them.
If he had to sum up his impression of him in one sentence, he would say, "He is indeed no ordinary person."
Old Chen was woken up by the guards, and then he heard Li Rong's surprised voice on the phone.
Then, Old Chen simply said, "You decide what to do."
Then, after hanging up the phone, I lay in bed, but I just couldn't fall asleep.
So he got up and went to his study, brewed himself a cup of Da Hong Pao tea, and slowly sipped it, smiling gently.
"You brat, you've done something big again!"
She murmured softly, while recalling the plan of the Nine Departments.
This is just the first step, this is only the twelfth project. And there are still eleven ahead of it.
This most unassuming, smallest project has already demonstrated impressive strength, so what about the remaining eleven?
Thinking of this, Old Chen could no longer sit still. He picked up his teacup, drank the tea in one gulp, and then went out.
"Xiao Chen, prepare the car!"
……
Meanwhile, Li Rong stared at the phone in surprise as it was disconnected.
Then he checked the time again, his face showing embarrassment.
He shook his head, wondering why he was so agitated at his age.
She immediately recalled receiving the call from Hong Kong, hearing the cheerful yet ingratiating voice on the other end, along with a hint of respect. This made her instantly forget the embarrassment she had just felt.
Not long ago, she was woken up by a phone call and looked indignant.
But soon, after his vanity was satisfied, he became arrogant.
Didn't you look down on this game console back then?
Now you know how powerful this game console is.
As for the other party lowering their stance to replenish supplies as soon as possible, he naturally had nothing to say about that.
Who wouldn't want to make money?
Moreover, the other party paid for the game consoles in full upfront.
Although the prices here are much lower than in Hong Kong today, she doesn't care anymore.
That small factory in Hong Kong, with fewer than 300 employees, could only manage to produce a thousand units a day at most.
Unlike in China, where factories often have tens of thousands of employees, their combined production efficiency is astonishing.
But another request from the other party put her in a difficult position!
Li Rong paced back and forth in the bedroom, thinking about how to talk to Yang Xiaotao about the profit-sharing arrangement.
That's right, the people in Hong Kong regretted it, and they regretted it to the point of despair!
A game console costs a thousand yuan, but what about the cost?
At most 300, that's including labor costs and using imported materials. If we switched to domestic materials, we could save at least half.
One thousand yuan is equivalent to earning seven hundred yuan; ten thousand units would be seven million yuan.
These days, owning seven million in Hong Kong makes you a true tycoon.
The original agreement was for a 30/70 split, so who would be willing to give away more than half of the money they were supposed to get?
And this is just the beginning. With Hong Kong's advantage as a financial center, it's only a matter of time before game consoles are sold all over the world.
The profits that follow will be an even bigger pie.
Who could resist being tempted?
So I asked her to put in a good word for me and see if we could readjust the profit-sharing ratio.
Even if we can't split the profits 50/50, 40/60 will do.
Upon hearing this, Li Rong could only manage a bitter smile.
She initially thought the 30/70 split was fine, and even considered 20/80 would be acceptable. Now it seems that not only did the Hong Kong side misjudge the situation, but she herself didn't understand it at all.
She wouldn't have the nerve to ask for favors now!
Just as Li Rong was hesitating about whether to go to the Ninth Department, a phone rang. Li Rong glanced at the phone on the table, then turned and walked to the other side, taking out a satellite phone from a cabinet.
Hearing the voice, Li Rong's expression turned serious.
"Hello, Auntie, it's me, Xiao Rong!"
Once the call connects, you know who it is without even asking.
"Xiao Rong, did I disturb your rest?"
"No, no, I got up very early!"
Li Rong was being polite, but then laughter came from the other end of the phone. She then dropped the formality, saying, "Xiao Rong, I heard that some kind of game console you have there has become incredibly popular?"
Li Rong thought to herself, "As expected," and then calmly replied, "Yes, that's true."
"Build a factory in Hong Kong?"
Li Rong agreed again.
Then I heard someone laugh on the other end, "I'm just doing this for someone else..."
After Li Rong hung up the phone, she sat to the side with a melancholy expression.
Originally, she didn't have the face to go to the Ninth Department, but due to the many things involved and the complexities of social relationships, she had no choice.
Moreover, they did receive a lot of help in other areas.
With that in mind, Li Rong got dressed, then touched up her makeup in the dressing room before heading out.
"I said, Lao Zhao, is this really necessary?"
Outside the courtyard, Yang Xiaotao rubbed his eyes as Zhao Gang pulled him toward the car.
Zhao Gang, however, looked delighted.
While Li Hongfeng was assigning tasks, Zhao Gang, who heard the commotion, immediately went out to check the situation.
After understanding the situation, he volunteered to help.
Then they came to the courtyard house and called Yang Xiaotao over.
"Why wouldn't we need it? You forgot, all important raw materials require your signature before they can be released from the warehouse!"
"How can we do anything if you don't sign?"
Yang Xiaotao slapped his forehead, realizing he had brought this upon himself!
"Hurry up, we've won a great victory this time."
"Ten thousand game consoles would be ten million."
"How much does it cost? It's less than two hundred yuan in total, at most two million."
"Xiao Yang, this is the first time I've ever felt that this money is too easy to earn."
Zhao Gang was driving, still beaming with joy, his eyes filled with nothing but money.
With this money, their nine departments could accomplish so much.
Yang Xiaotao's face darkened as he listened to Zhao Gang's daydreams.
No one would feel comfortable being woken up to work overtime while they're sound asleep at home.
Especially since he has a beautiful wife at home.
If it hadn't been Zhao Gang who came, he would have asked Xiao Wei to notify Wangcai so he could bite his way out of the house.
Finally, this big man called him out of the house.
The noise kept the whole courtyard in turmoil.
But you can't get angry, because the other person meant well.
All of this was for the sake of revolution and construction.
Yang Xiaotao silently comforted himself.
"Old Zhao, who was it that said the other day that game consoles are useless and a waste of time?"
Yang Xiaotao, sitting in his chair, suddenly said something, and Zhao Gang quickly laughed, "Things change."
"Besides, I'm right. Look at Hong Kong, it proves that our precautions are necessary..."
Zhao Gang spoke in a serious tone, while Yang Xiaotao leaned back in his chair speechlessly, closing his eyes to rest, but inwardly he was complaining.
Zhao Gang has also been influenced by his surroundings. After following Li Yunlong for so many years, it would be strange if they didn't share some similarities.
"Has Old Li made all the arrangements?"
Zhao Gang nodded. "The convoy has already set off, and the electronics factory has also started operations. There are more than three thousand units in the warehouse, and Factory Director Gui said he'll try to gather four thousand units to send over first..."
"This Director Gui is a good comrade who is dedicated to his work!"
Zhao Gang sighed, and Yang Xiaotao pursed his lips, wondering if he was being targeted.
But he's still young. He can't bring himself to leave his beautiful wife alone at home.
"What about the airport? Is everything arranged?"
"I'm not sure. Comrade Li Rong said it's all arranged, but we haven't contacted each other yet!"
"Have you secured the batteries? Be careful when transporting these!"
Zhao Gang nodded, "We don't have any connections with battery manufacturers in the foreign trade sector."
After a brief exchange, the car arrived at headquarters.
After getting out of the car, Yang Xiaotao went straight to his office.
At this moment, the entire office building was brightly lit, and busy people were going in and out. Their faces were flushed, whether from the cold or excitement, no one could tell.
"Minister Yang!"
Upon arriving at the door, I saw Liu Lixue waiting there with a stack of documents in her arms.
"Are you here too?"
Liu Lixue nodded, "I rushed over as soon as I heard the noise!"
"This requires your signature!"
As he spoke, he handed a stack of documents to Yang Xiaotao.
"immediately!"
Yang Xiaotao picked up the documents and went into his office. He then reviewed and signed them while simultaneously calling the airport.
They found Wang Minghai in no time, explained the situation, and since he had already been notified, he naturally cooperated fully.
Just then, Yang Youning ran in and said, "The Tianjin convoy has arrived. Load them onto the trucks immediately."
"And production has already started in the workshop, so we still need to prepare some raw materials..."
Yang Xiaotao didn't even look up, continuing to sign, "It'll be done soon!"
