When we returned to the hotel in the afternoon, everyone was actually a little tired, but this tiredness was not due to the exhibition work.

But I feel tired from walking around the Canton Fair.

After all, when you come to the Canton Fair, your relatives and friends have entrusted you with a lot of things to take back, so you have to compare them around to see the prices.

Although the prices are similar, you have to carefully calculate every penny these days. It is still very normal to compare products.

Therefore, the people who participated in the Canton Fair were indeed very tired, but they only seemed tired after walking back and forth at the Canton Fair and looking at the prices of the products.

To be honest, I feel really not tired when working. After all, it’s all about unified purchasing and marketing.

He Yuzhu freshened up after arriving at the hotel, then knocked on the door with a canvas bag of his own and found the leader of the team.

He has returned from Xiangjiang, but necessary follow-up work still needs to be done, such as reporting to the leadership.

The team leader said hello, and He Yuzhu opened the door and came in. At this time, the leader was making a cup of tea here and reading a newspaper there.

With an expression of indifference, to the extent of this person, he has developed the aura of not changing his expression even if the mountain collapses in front of him.

After seeing He Yuzhu come in, the leader of the team was also very surprised and said: "It turns out to be Comrade He Yuzhu. I was just thinking about looking for you to learn about some of the situation in Xiangjiang, and by chance you came."

He Yuzhu said with a smile at this time: "If the leader wants to find out about the situation, he can contact me at any time.

However, I was in a hurry when I came here today, so I didn't immediately go to the leader to report my work. I just came back from the Canton Fair after work, so I came directly to report to the leader about my work in Xiangjiang.

The comrades in Xiangjiang are quite enthusiastic. Director Dapeng, the director of Dapeng Film and Television, also took great care of us and arranged a pretty good hotel for me. Coincidentally, he sold Marlboros in that hotel.

The price is not expensive, the twenty-one cigarettes are just a curiosity, so when I came here, I bought just a few of them."

After saying that, He Yuzhu took out three Marlboros directly from his canvas bag.

At this time, the leader's eyes were also brightened. What a good thing. This thing is a rare item even in the Friendship Store.

And the key point is that the prices of things in the Friendship Store are not cheap. Another very important point is that in the Friendship Store, you cannot buy them just by having money. You need to have foreign currency such as foreign exchange coupons or green coins.

OK.

In other words, you must have overseas connections to obtain foreign exchange or foreign exchange coupons, otherwise it will be impossible to buy things from the Friendship Store.

Even if someone at the level of a team leader wants to go to the Friendship Store to buy something, it is not an easy task.

So although you can get Marlboro in China, it is not particularly easy.

After all, these are American Empire's cigarettes. It's not that they don't exist in China, but they are relatively rare and rare.

Just let the sugar-coated bullets of capitalism corrode the capitalist people.

Friendship Store is actually for foreigners who have overseas relations or are in China.

It’s not that the price of this kind of cigarettes is particularly high. Twenty yuan a piece is certainly relatively high and not cheap for ordinary people, but relatively speaking, Huazi is actually about the same price.

But Huazi can still get it if he has some connections in China.

Marlboro doesn't work, and it's not easy to get one.

That is to say, if you have money but no place to buy it, you will have no chance to buy this kind of foreign cigarettes from ordinary supply and marketing cooperatives.

So at this time, the team leader also spoke righteously: "Comrade He Yuzhu, what are you doing? Right?

We must pay attention to the discipline of the party and the corrosion of capitalism. In the busy capitalist world, we must adhere to our principles at all times.

He Yuzhu was very teachable immediately, nodded and said: "What the leader said is that I don't dare to do anything excessive in Xiangjiang. I usually live in a hotel. If it weren't for Director Dapeng's invitation, I wouldn't do it at all."

I didn't even dare to take a step out of the hotel, for fear that if I took the wrong step, I would cause unnecessary trouble.

Although it is our territory, it is still under the shadow of capitalism, so I cannot cause trouble to the comrades there.

These cigarettes are provided to customers within the hotel. As long as you stay in the hotel and want to buy a few cigarettes, there is no problem here and there, and the price is not expensive, only 20 yuan per carton.

It’s just a local product brought by Xiangjiang.”

In fact, although Marlboro cigarettes are very famous, they are really not expensive. Even in 2019 and 2020, a pack of Marlboro cigarettes is cheaper, costing more than 100 yuan and less than 200 yuan.

Even if you have to move bricks on the construction site, you can still afford two Marlboros a day.

Therefore, although this kind of cigarette is very famous, the price is really not very expensive. Of course, this is relative.

At that time, a late-night snack on Wanbu Road, which was more common in Hong Kong, cost 20 yuan. This was very normal.

But one point of view is that you have to have the opportunity to go to Xiangjiang, and then you can get the price. If you bring it back, there is also the risk of being investigated, because bringing goods in large quantities can easily be regarded as speculation and arrested.

If you don't go to Xiangjiang to buy this kind of cigarettes, you won't be able to buy cigarettes at this price in China anyway.

Without cigarette coupons, you can’t even buy domestic cigarettes, let alone foreign cigarettes like Marlboro.

In China, only foreign-related stores like Friendship Store sell Marlboro cigarettes, and the price is certainly worthy of the name Friendship Store.

But you can't just enter the Friendship Store casually. You need to have foreign exchange coupons or foreign currency to buy things there.

Therefore, speaking of Marlboro as a local specialty, after hearing this, the leader slowly restrained himself, nodded with a serious expression and said: "That's right, we must always work hard on ideological study and never relax for a moment.

Imperialism will never die in destroying me.

We must always be vigilant, and we must still be principled.

However, I still believe that Comrade He Yuzhu, your principles are very firm.

Okay, let's leave it as it is, forget it this time, but be careful next time.

No matter how you take away the 60 yuan, I can't let you, a great hero, put money into it, and I can't let the hero bleed and shed tears."

This time, He Yuzhu did not refuse at all and directly accepted the 60 yuan given by the leader.

At this time, the leader nodded with satisfaction. In He Yuzhu's opinion, this was a very successful exchange, and the friendship and friendship came so slowly.

It is still very beneficial to often brush your face in front of the leader.

In fact, this is the way to get along with leaders. Leaders are not willing to take advantage of you at all.

You reported your work to the leader, reported your work, brought souvenirs and three Marlboros, but the leader doesn't want to take advantage of you.

At that time, the vast majority of old comrades still had very high principles.

That's what the team leader did. He bought the Marlboro directly at the original price. Even if there is an organized investigation in the future, the leader can also say that we are just a small favor between normal friends.

I spent money to buy cigarettes. This was a very normal interaction between acquaintances.

So He Yuzhu happily accepted the money at this time.

It also seems to be a very good performance in leadership.

At this time, the leader He Yuzhu also chatted aimlessly with, and then confirmed He Yuzhu's actions in Xiangjiang this time.

This also means that he is very satisfied with this report and asked He Yuzhu to go back and continue to work hard in the future. He will make persistent efforts and make further progress.

Of course, after visiting the team leader, He Yuzhu did not dare to neglect, and then went to find Director Yang.

After all, he is a soldier under Factory Director Yang, who is his direct leader, so it is impossible to neglect Director Yang. Director Yang is a direct person. After seeing Wanbo Road, he will know what this guy is doing.

What the hell.

He pointed at He Yuzhu and said: "You boy, the Taoist priests from Xiangjiang will not return empty-handed. I knew you would bring some private goods over here."

At this time, He Yuzhu quickly explained: "Actually, I usually don't bring much with me. I buy everything from Xiangjiang and other places, just some local specialties.

After all, you have to pay attention to the impact, so I just brought a few of them and reported the work to the leader."

Director Yang shook his head and said noncommittally: "You kid, you are just trying to play tricks on me. What's the use of doing things that are there and not there?

By the way, have you reported to the boss?"

At this time, He Yuzhu nodded immediately and said: "This matter, I went to the team leader to report the work as soon as possible after work. The leader thought it was okay. I gained a lot from going to Xiangjiang this time, and

He also got the name of an honorary chef.

Regarding another point, the leader said that although we acted without authorization this time without approval from above, there was a reason for it, and I returned home with a good reputation.

The higher-ups probably won't pursue this matter further. Even if they do, Director Li probably won't be able to escape. So the leader said he would explain this matter to the higher-ups, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

No, after reporting the work to the team leader, I immediately came to the factory director."

At this time, Factory Manager Yang nodded and said, "Okay, it's quite good that you can do this. As long as the leader approves this matter, then this matter is not a big deal.

And he is also Lao Li's backer. This time he sent you to find Lao Li Yicai. It is said that you also paid a big price. This time you have won honor for the country, so this matter should be more important to you.

If it's positive, the leaders have already confirmed it, so there won't be any big deal next.

Okay, you can just go back to work and take the 40 yuan with you."

This time, He Yuzhu was not polite. If he didn't top up the money, Yang Chang probably wouldn't accept the two Marlboros with peace of mind, so He Yuzhu happily put the 40 yuan in his pocket.

Friendship is something that is slowly accumulated bit by bit.

Friendship is called friendship when there is coming and going. If there is no going back and forth, it is at most an acquaintance, not even an acquaintance, let alone a friend.

Only in the process of exchanges between you and back again can friendship be generated, so some things just need to be done slowly.

Governing a big country is like cooking a small one. This relationship is also so urgent. Otherwise, if you are anxious, big trouble may easily happen.

After coming out of Director Yang's place, He Yuzhu happily took two cigarettes to see Director Li.

Director Li was also very surprised by He Yuzhu's arrival, especially when He Yuzhu brought two Marlboro cigarettes, which made Director Li even more surprised.

Ordinarily, I have to thank He Yuzhu for this, otherwise I wouldn't have bought him a radio.
