Hello, 1983

Chapter 123 A basin of cold water

Seeing how Hou Sanyi was about to cut flesh, Liu Qingshan stopped teasing him:

"Brother Hou, I don't want anything anymore. You can give me the purchase channels for these New Year's pictures. The idlers in our village also want to buy some New Year's pictures or something, and sell them at the big fair."

Hou San breathed a sigh of relief, but he did it simply, didn't hide it at all, and said everything.

Everything is purchased from a printing factory. Except for the New Year pictures and calendars, all the couplets and blessings are also sold in batches.

Don't look at the unit price of these things is not expensive, but the profit is very considerable. The key is that the sales volume is large. Who needs to use it for the New Year, no matter how poor it is, it must be posted two New Year pictures, right?

"Biaozi, you will run with Brother Hou in a while. We need a lot of money, so I think it can be cheaper."

Liu Qingshan was ready to hand over this matter to Er Biaozi.

Er Biaozi was a little clueless: "San Feng'er, can I do it?"

"Exercise is not enough, just like you learn to grow rice."

Liu Qingshan also encouraged his friends. If he could cultivate a group of talents in Jiapigou, he would be able to be alone in the future.

"Okay, I'll try it."

Er Biaozi's confidence greatly increased.

"At that time, listen to Brother Hou's opinion."

Liu Qingshan did not forget to remind him.

After all, Hou San has experience. If it was a hairy young man like Er Biaozi, he would probably be staring at those celebrity calendars with big beauties on them.

Hou San also knew that this trip would definitely not be in vain, and he could earn some referral fees. The most important thing was that if he could catch up with the capable Xiao Liu brothers, he might be able to eat and drink spicy food in the future.

So he quickly closed the stall, then led Er Biaozi and ran away happily.

Liu Qingshan was about to go to the antique stall next to him, and then his arms were caught, and then Gangzi's voice came:

"Brother, what can you say this time don't want to run away, please go out to the restaurant at night!"

"The big boss is making a fortune. He has a lot of money, and he speaks so confidently."

Liu Qingshan got very close to Fei Ge and Gangzi, and went over to greet Li Xuemei and Xiaomei.

They talked to each other about their respective situations, and when Hou San led the excited Er Biaozi back, he closed the stall and went straight to the pot.

In the winter, it is still very enjoyable to eat hot pot.

After eating and drinking, Liu Qingshan went to the guest house arranged by the automobile factory and called Captain Zhang and the others to visit Professor Wang's house together.

He came once and found Professor Wang's house successfully. He went upstairs and knocked on the door. Professor Wang and his wife were at home, and he was overjoyed to see Liu Qingshan standing outside the door.

When I saw Captain Zhang, the owner of the car, and others, I became even more excited, and I couldn't help tears in my eyes.

Professor Wang and his wife have been sent to Jiapigou for several years. Life in the countryside is difficult. They just went to the city and are not used to anything. Thanks to the help of the villagers, they survived.

This kind of true adversity can be remembered for a lifetime.

So seeing Captain Zhang and the others was just as excited as seeing relatives who had reunited after a long absence.

"Pharaoh, we've all finished our meal. I feel sorry for you. I'm afraid that we will eat a lot of money, right?"

Captain Zhang was joking, and the atmosphere immediately became joyful. He entered the room and sat down, and began to chat about everyday things.

Liu Qingshan brought the two big fish into the kitchen, and then helped to pour tea and water together.

When he invited Professor Wang back to Jiapigou, Professor Wang agreed with all his might, he would take a few days off, and then go directly back to Jiapigou to celebrate the New Year.

After chatting very late, I went back to the guest house. The next day, Captain Zhang and Uncle Boss, they sat in Da Jiefang to buy goods.

Yesterday, I contacted a textile factory, mainly to buy fabrics, because from January this year, the cloth tickets have been completely cancelled, and the fabrics can be bought openly.

When the Chinese New Year comes, everyone has to pull the cloth and make clothes for adults and children.

So this sales is very amazing.

Section Chief Hao is also very straightforward in his work. He dislikes Jiapigou for a big liberation and has to make several trips to transport frozen fish.

I simply dispatched three Da Jiefang cars to go with them. The car factory, I dare not say anything else, but there are too many cars.

With so many cars, it's a pity to run empty when I go there. When Liu Qingshan and the others summed up, they just bought the New Year's goods and pulled them back.

But a new problem emerged: insufficient funds.

If the money is not enough, they will buy cheap goods. Liu Qingshan asked Hou San to help contact several waste collection departments yesterday, and finally transported back all the old newspapers and books.

During the Chinese New Year in the countryside, every family has to paste the walls, and the consumption of these papers is also very large.

The conditions in the city are better now, and there are not many people who paste the walls. Even if they paste the walls, they rarely use newspapers.

After all, it was enough to fill up all the cars of the Great Liberation, and everyone else went back with the car. In the end, Liu Qingshan was left alone in Spring City.

On the morning of the second day after the team left, Liu Qingshan came to Secretary Lu's office.

After greeting each other, Lu Wen said cheerfully:

"Qingshan, the meaning of the factory is that you and Mr. Thomas are good friends, so during the negotiation, you are responsible for entertaining good old friends. This is your task."

Understood, is to accompany foreigners to eat, drink and have fun.

Negotiations are complicated, the water is too deep, and Liu Qingshan is still happy if he doesn't get involved.

But what he wants to do more is to be able to contribute as much as possible to this negotiation and fight for more rights and interests for himself.

After thinking about it clearly, Liu Qingshan took out a thick stack of paper from the canvas pocket he was carrying:

"Secretary Lu, these are some things I have sorted out recently. They are just some of my own thoughts. I hope they can help the negotiation."

After taking the heavy stack of paper, Lu Wen nodded: "Qingshan, you are bothered."

He could not have imagined that a young man could put in such a big effort, no matter whether something works or not, at least he is attentive, and this kind of effort is worthy of respect.

After the things were sent out, Liu Qingshan's heart suddenly felt a lot easier.

These materials are some ideas that he has sorted out for more than a month. He does not understand the specific technology, mainly some development concepts.

"Secretary Lu, these materials are best handed over to those engineers, after all, they are professionals."

Liu Qingshan didn't want the things he worked so hard to get thrown into the waste paper pile.

He believes that if those engineers read it, they will be inspired a lot.

Oh?

Lu Wen was stunned for a moment. At first, he didn't pay much attention to it. After all, Liu Qingshan was too young, and he didn't specialize in this profession. At most, his spirit was commendable.

Now it seems that the little guy is quite confident.

So he sat there and read it first. Although he is now a political worker, he was also a professional in the past.

Liu Qingshan saw that he was fascinated, so he didn't bother and left first.

Lu Wen saw that it was all morning until a voice came from the door: "Secretary Lu, it's time for lunch."

Then he looked up from the pile of manuscript papers and looked at the clock on the wall. It was half past eleven.

"This little Liu, I didn't expect to have so many good ideas. It seems that I have to talk to the chief engineer."

Lu Wen muttered, then carefully put the materials into his pocket, got up and left the office.

The pocket was heavy, and Lu Wen knew that it was an important bargaining chip in the negotiation.

The auto factory is busy preparing for it, and Liu Qingshan is also a little anxious: it's already January 10th, and the final exam is still on the 15th.

If he dares not to take the exam, it is estimated that in the next semester, the bearded principal will tie him back to school even if he does.

Fortunately, on the 11th, Thomas led the negotiating team and finally came.

The group was naturally greeted with a grand welcome. Thomas and the representative who came to pick up the airport cordially shook hands and greeted each other.

However, his eyes quickly searched the crowd, and finally saw a familiar figure at the back.

Thomas couldn't help raising his arm and waving it over there, shouting with excitement.

This made a leader who walked up to him embarrassed: what are you doing, I have stretched out my hand for a long time.

Thomas didn't care so much, he ran directly towards Liu Qingshan, and he went up to a big bear hug:

"Hi, my friend, we finally meet again. How do you drive the car I designed?"

This question is a bit difficult to answer. Can Liu Qingshan tell him: Has your car become a pile of parts now?

So he broke free from the other's bear hug and shrugged his shoulders slightly dissatisfied: "I can't tell you now, because I'm only seventeen years old, and I'm not old enough to drive."

"Haha, Liu, I should send you a bicycle!"

Thomas grinned, smiling happily.

Seeing others unhappy makes you more happy. This principle applies in any country.

Compared with the solemn and warm atmosphere just now, they were much more relaxed and happy here. The two joked with each other and made jokes with each other from time to time. This is the scene where friends should meet.

"My friend, wait until we get to the hotel to talk in detail, everyone is waiting there."

Liu Qingshan also didn't want to dominate, but Thomas was too enthusiastic, but he ended the conversation quickly.

"Liu, let's take a car, I want to hear, what good ideas do you have now."

Thomas hurriedly sent out the invitation, looking at his posture, he was like a big bear who stole honey once, and always thought about the second time.

Liu Qingshan still asked Lu Wen for instructions, and after getting permission, he got into the car that Thomas was riding.

In the car, the conversation was much easier, and Thomas started bragging about how the car he designed was selling well in North America, and how it was touted by young people, that guy, almost to the sky in the sedan they were riding in.

After blowing up enough, the guy asked triumphantly, "Liu, I'll give you a car as a gift. You two pay attention to courtesy. What are you going to give me as a gift?"

This guy is really straightforward, Liu Qingshan made a gesture with a smile, holding a water basin with both hands.

"Wow..."

With a churn in his mouth, he gestured to pour water on Thomas' head:

"Friend, this is a basin of cold water I prepared for you. You need to wake up most now"

Liu Qingshan couldn't bear it any longer, so he began to pick on faults the same way. Thomas didn't pay much attention to it at first, but the more he heard it, the more frightened he became.

Originally a large balloon that was inflated was punctured again and again by a thin needle, and it was completely deflated.

It took almost an hour from the airport to the guest house. After arriving at the station, people suddenly found:

Mr. Thomas, who was still high-spirited at the airport, was like Frost, completely wilted.

It made the representatives of the automobile factory wonder: Is it because the climate here is too cold?

The translator was also quite interesting: "It was Mr. Liu Qingshan who poured cold water on Mr. Thomas."

Isn't it rude to treat foreign guests like this, even if they are good friends, they can't go too far in joking.

The leaders were a little dissatisfied, but look at Thomas, his hair is dry, as if he hadn't been watered?

Thomas got out of the car, the cold wind was blowing, and his mind was completely clear. He bowed solemnly:

"Liu, thank you for the greeting, I feel better now."

What's the situation? The leaders of the auto factory are completely confused this time.

Liu Qingshan shrugged with a smile: "Mr. Thomas, aren't we friends? Friends don't need to be so polite."

Thomas patted Liu Qingshan's shoulder deeply: "Yes, we are friends, forever friends!"

In the next few days, Liu Qingshan also fulfilled the duties of a friend:

Accompanying Thomas to eat, drink, have fun, and negotiate, he did not follow.

But he also kept an eye on the negotiation process. From the very beginning, the two sides fell into a stalemate and refused to step back.

It was not until the car factory came up with several ideas and completely suppressed the other party that the negotiation slowly tilted in the direction of the car factory.

After three days, the two sides finally initialed the agreement, and Thomas came back to it a little bit, and pushed Liu Qingshan to ask:

"Liu, those ideas, why do I feel a little familiar, it seems to be your style?"

Liu Qingshan smiled without saying a word. Although he was not a member of the negotiating team, he played a vital role.

In the evening, it was naturally a reception organized by the automobile factory, which was actually equivalent to a celebration feast.

Although Liu Qingshan didn't want to drink, he couldn't do anything about it. In the end, he was poured a lot. The director of the auto factory, the secretary of the party group, and the chief engineer toasted, how could he not drink it?

"Thank you, our unsung hero."

This is the director's toast to Liu Qingshan.

"Comrade Xiao Liu, can you consider working in our auto factory? We will make an exception for you to solve your cadre status."

This is an invitation from the chief engineer.

However, Liu Qingshan refused in the end. His ambition was in his hometown.

Fortunately, it was beer. The next day, it was already January 14, and Liu Qingshan had to go back.

When hugging and parting with Thomas, Thomas suddenly found that there were a few more pages in his hand, and Liu Qingshan whispered in his ear: "Friend, come and don't be indecent, this is my gift to you."

After speaking, Liu Qingshan picked up Professor Wang and his wife, drove a jeep, and returned to Bishui County.

After Thomas opened the paper, he couldn't help but be overjoyed and quickly put it in his pocket.

But then he began to worry: "come and not indecent, but what gift should I prepare for my friend next time?"
