Chapter 171 Identity
Li Daqi was actually a little worried about Song Yuanchao's focus on these, especially jeans and bell-bottom pants, and yes! There are also shirts in various bright colors.
The factory was badly hurt by the setbacks caused by the loss of orders for labor protection products some time ago. It has just recovered because of the hot sales of false collars in Yanjing. Now Song Yuanchao has decided to switch production again, reducing the production quantity of false collars and directly launching new products. Although Li Daqi admits that the ones Qin Zhengguo brought back look good, they are good but too trendy. To be honest, Li Daqi has no idea whether they can be sold.
"Don't worry. In two days you'll know why I did this." Song Yuanchao smiled and kept it a secret. He then said, "I've already made an agreement with Zhang Yong. I'll return to Yanjing after the Spring Festival. Production will depend on you. Try to produce as much as you can during this period. Once the festival is over, we'll resume the three-shift operation. Don't be afraid of a backlog in production. To be honest, I'm worried that the factory won't have enough supply by then."
"If Daqi's supply is insufficient, I can find a way over there." Qin Zhengguo said on the side.
Song Yuanchao nodded and said, "You should also pay attention to Hong Kong. You can start making the electronic watches and clothes I mentioned last time when you get back. But the source of goods is the key. This is why I asked Daqi to switch production. After all, it is better to have your own production source than to let others control it."
Everyone nodded, agreeing with Song Yuanchao's point of view. This is a very simple truth. Even if Qin Zhengguo and his team can get Hong Kong goods in Yangcheng, firstly, Yangcheng is too far away from Shanghai and Beijing, and transportation is inconvenient. Secondly, the Hong Kong goods are expensive and the supply is unstable. If there is a factory that can produce them, it will be different. It's just like the sale of fake collars. If there is no school-run factory, Song Yuanchao really has no confidence in opening up the situation in Beijing in such a short time.
As it was too late, everyone was a little tired, and Song Yuanchao did not speak for a long time at the dinner table. After dinner, everyone went home and met again tomorrow.
Song Yuanchao, Qin Zhengguo and Ying Caixia returned to the alley, said good night to Ying Caixia at the entrance of the second floor, opened the door, and Song Yuanchao and Qin Zhengguo entered the house.
After tidying up, Song Yuanchao fetched water to soak his feet.
Qin Zhengguo didn't even wash his feet and was already lying on the bed. Song Yuanchao soaked his feet, smoked a cigarette and thought about something. After a while, he said to Qin Zhengguo: "Zhengguo, I want to ask you something."
"What's the matter?" Qin Zhengguo, who had not fallen asleep yet, turned over and turned his face towards Song Yuanchao.
"Is there any way from Guangzhou to Hong Kong?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Zhengguo sat up and looked at Song Yuanchao in confusion: "Are you planning to go to Hong Kong?"
"It's not me, it's you!" Song Yuanchao said.
"Me?" Qin Zhengguo didn't expect Song Yuanchao to say this and was very surprised for a moment.
Song Yuanchao nodded and asked seriously, "There is no outsider here, just tell me if there is any way."
Qin Zhengguo glanced at Song Yuanchao, thought for a moment and said, "It's not like there is no way. In fact, there are only two ways to get to Hong Kong, one is the open way and the other is the hidden way."
At this point, Qin Zhengguo simply got off the bed, walked to Song Yuanchao and sat down, lit a cigarette and said: "The obvious way is very simple, just go through the Luohu checkpoint openly, as for the covert way, just take the water route..." As he said that, he waved his hand and made a swimming gesture, and at the same time gave Song Yuanchao a look that said you understand.
"The water route is too dangerous. I heard that many incidents have happened there before. A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Forget this route." Song Yuanchao shook his head without even thinking about it, and rejected the second option directly. Qin Zhengguo was his brother, and he did not want him to take such a risk.
"Actually, the water route is not as scary as you say. It was indeed dangerous to cross it by putting on a tire and taking the risk. Now if you have money, it is relatively safe to pay a little and take a boat." Qin Zhengguo explained.
Song Yuanchao still shook his head: "We can do this with the goods. After all, if the goods are lost, it's just a loss of money, but if people are lost, we can't afford the loss. There's no need to talk about this route. Let me ask you if you have any way to go through Luohu?"
"This..." Qin Zhengguo thought carefully while smoking a cigarette: "If I open a pass in the name of visiting relatives, I can't issue it normally, but I can try other methods, such as impersonating someone else."
"Okay! Let's use this method." Song Yuanchao thought about it and felt that this idea was reliable. He said to Qin Zhengguo: "When you go back, start doing this. Money is not a problem. I would rather spend more money than put safety first. When you get to Hong Kong, find a place to stay and get an ID card."
"Yuanchao, why do you want me to run over there for no reason?" Qin Zhengguo didn't quite understand Song Yuanchao's arrangement and asked with a puzzled look.
Song Yuanchao sighed and said, "Many of the things we are going to do next are related to Hong Kong, including the purchase issue I discussed with you before. We can't always get goods through middlemen. This will not only fail to ensure the supply and quality, but also affect profits. So I think we must have our own talents in Hong Kong. Only in this way can we control the stability of the supply and the price."
"In addition, your Hong Kong identity is very beneficial to us. You should have heard about the situation in Pengcheng when you were in Yangcheng, right?"
Qin Zhengguo nodded. The news about the development of Pengcheng had already been reported at the end of last year. It was said that the country was going to carry out a pilot project in Pengcheng, but it was not known whether it was true or not.
"The Pengcheng incident is true. Once Pengcheng succeeds, the connection between China and Hong Kong will be very close. In the future, a large number of Hong Kong businessmen will come to China, and having a Hong Kong identity will be very beneficial at this time."
Qin Zhengguo seemed to be thinking about something, and suddenly he laughed: "I understand what you are planning, you are clearly using foreign powers to bully others."
"Haha, although it sounds harsh, it is not without reason." Song Yuanchao nodded with a smile: "Since the country has opened up, we should not only go out, but also welcome in. This is the general trend. I heard about some policies when I was in Yanjing. Hong Kong is very close to Pengcheng, and it is very convenient to come in. That's why I let you get a Hong Kong identity."
At this point, Song Yuanchao glanced at Qin Zhengguo again and asked, "Do you remember what we discussed before about Shenghua Company?"
"It is still a difficult task to set up a company in China, but it is different in Hong Kong. Once you arrive in Hong Kong, you can register the company. You can ask people there for details. I heard that there are institutions in Hong Kong that specialize in helping people register companies. You can find out if you ask around. The procedures there are very convenient and the registration does not cost much. After the registration is completed, you can get a phone call to notify me. This company will be of great use in the future."
"Okay, I'll ask about this when I get there. I also have channels in Hong Kong in Guangzhou, so this shouldn't be difficult." Qin Zhengguo agreed immediately, and after thinking about it, he asked, "So what about the business in Guangzhou now?"
"Let Gu Jie take over first. Ying Caixia will also be there after the holiday. Let her help Gu Jie get familiar with the job first."
"Okay!" Qin Zhengguo agreed immediately. There was an adventurous nature in his character, otherwise this guy would not have gone to do border trade in the afterlife.
Qin Zhengguo, who had been in Guangzhou for the past six months, also knew something about Hong Kong. Who among the ordinary people in Guangzhou did not yearn for the prosperity of Hong Kong? In the eyes of the locals, the nearby Hong Kong was like a paradise. They were eager to stretch their heads to Hong Kong and were proud to be Hong Kong people.
If he could go to Hong Kong and become a Hong Konger, Qin Zhengguo would naturally be willing. Moreover, he was going there to do something important. Song Yuanchao was right. Having a Hong Kong identity was indeed useful. If he was from the mainland, he might not understand. But how could Qin Zhengguo, who had been in Yangcheng for so many days, not understand?
"By the way, I want to ask you something." Suddenly, Song Yuanchao seemed to remember something and said to Qin Zhengguo in a serious tone.
Qin Zhengguo looked at Song Yuanchao in confusion, only to hear Song Yuanchao ask: "What do you think of Ying Caixia?"
"Well... why did you suddenly mention this?" Qin Zhengguo didn't expect Song Yuanchao to ask him this question, and he looked embarrassed for a moment.
"Brother, I won't say much about what kind of person Caixia is. We have known each other over the years. If you are really interested in Caixia, don't miss her. She is a very good woman. As your friends, Yan Zi and I hope to see you together." Patting Qin Zhengguo on the shoulder, Song Yuanchao said bluntly.
These days he has noticed the subtleties between Qin Zhengguo and Ying Caixia. Although they had a good relationship before, when they met again after a year of separation, it seemed that their relationship became closer. Now Song Yuanchao is not sure whether they have that intention or not, but as their friend, Song Yuanchao is happy to see them get together.
"Why are you bringing this up suddenly?" Qin Zhengguo, who is usually carefree, became a little embarrassed at this time. He raised his hand to scratch his head and his old face turned red.
"Men should get married when they are old enough, and women should get married when they are old enough. This is common sense. What's wrong with mentioning it? Don't you have a good impression of Ying Caixia? Have you never thought about this in your heart?"
"That's not the case, it's just... I just feel like I'm too familiar with her. If that happens all of a sudden, I'd feel a little... a little..." Qin Zhengguo said awkwardly.
"You kid, you can't make a move just because you know her too well? Where's your usual fearlessness? Let me tell you, if you really have this idea in your mind, it's better to make it as soon as possible. What if you go to Hong Kong and you may not see her for a year or two, aren't you afraid that someone else will steal her away by then?"
"Others? That others? Who dares!" Qin Zhengguo raised his eyebrows and started yelling.
"What are you yelling about! Why don't you decide on this matter earlier and don't you allow others to pursue her? Let me tell you, Caixia is now an orphan and single. Such a woman is very sensitive. If you don't act early, don't regret it later!"
Song Yuanchao glared at him directly and said everything. Qin Zhengguo frowned, thought for a long time and finally nodded.
