Chapter 73 Sudden Changes(1/2)

The Telegraph Bureau got off work on time, so that Osawa finally sent a telegram to Tokyo the next morning. Including the time of translating and receiving the telegram, Wubaiban Headquarters did not know the content of Hasegawa's telegram until noon.

At this time, Xiao Qiang had unexpectedly returned to Guangzhou early.

Those who came back with him were not only Su Zheng and Tian Shengying who were always following him closely now, but also Lin Yi.

After the college entrance examination, the relationship between the two was in a semi-public state. After Lin Yi received the admission notice from the Chinese Department of Peking University, Xiao Qiang specially brought a gift to Lin Yi's house to visit him and officially confirmed the relationship between the two.

Although this trip to Guangzhou was not a special trip, in order to fulfill her long-term promise to accompany her to visit famous mountains and rivers, Xiao Qiang also brought her with her after obtaining the consent of Lin Yi's parents, which was considered as a way to take care of both public and private affairs.

But he has been too busy recently. In Guangzhou, a few people were not stopping, and they sent projector samples to various Japanese department stores.

On the night when this matter was finished, Xiao Qiang received a call at the Overseas Chinese Hotel where he was staying. In the microphone, it was Chisonev's voice: "I have done the things you entrust to you. If you go to Hong Kong and stay in the Regent Hotel, someone will contact you."

"That's great! It's a timely rain!" Xiao Qiang laughed for a while and said to him, "But there are not many things I can give you, only one percent of the shares. Can you agree?"

On the other end of the phone, Chisonev did not hesitate: "I said that if the worst happens, we only ask for hiding you. So I will not make excessive demands. If you can be open and honest, this shows your sincerity. Even if you don't give us any shares, it doesn't matter."

After putting down the phone, Xiao Qiang immediately proposed to Su Zheng to visit Hong Kong.

His reason is very good: domestic technology commercialization is still in its early stages. Going to Hong Kong to take a look and learn about the examples of world technology use, which can bring him more inspiration.

Su Zheng quickly passed this request to the superiors and agreed to his trip to Hong Kong the next day. However, due to the success of the projector, he also strengthened his protection. In addition to Su Zheng and Tian Katsuyoshi, two comrades from the local foreign affairs department were sent, on the one hand, as his Cantonese translator, and on the other hand, he also acted as a tour guide in Hong Kong.

Travel to Hong Kong in China only gradually began after the reform and opening up. In total, only Chinese travel agencies in the country can form tours in Hong Kong and Macao. There are only a few thousand places a year, and the prices are extremely high, reaching 16,000 yuan. It can also show how strict the control is.

Moreover, there can only be one group of forty people every month, and there are endless people who sign up. Applications have been scheduled for nearly a year, and people's desire for the outside world can also be seen.

Xiao Qiang thought that even if he submitted a request with a legitimate reason, it would probably take a long time to approve it. Unexpectedly, he made a request the day before and received a positive reply the next day. The speed was so fast that it was surprising.

This also made him clearly realize that the senior management's expectations for him are also increasing rapidly, and this trip to Hong Kong seemed particularly urgent.

The car that picked them up and sent them started from the hotel, passed through Shenzhen, and entered Hong Kong at Luohu Port.

When passing Shenzhen, Xiao Qiang looked at the factory buildings and the busy construction sites through the car window, with deep and inexplicable eyes.

Is this the window for China to take off?

Now, it still looks so immature, can it really support this sleeping dragon?

He was not aware of this. In his memory of his previous life, there was almost no concept of special economic zones. The entire country was open to the world, so it was difficult to judge whether the Shenzhen Special Zone had achieved success as it wished.

He looked at it for a long time before he withdrew his gaze, stared at the backrest in front, and fell into deep thought.

Shenzhen was originally called Bao'an County. It was renamed Shenzhen by the central government at the beginning of the reform in 1979. At the end of that year, it was upgraded to a provincial-level city at the regional level. In the second year, it was approved by the National People's Congress to establish it as a special economic zone, and in March of the following year, it was upgraded to a sub-provincial city again.

The purpose of the establishment of the Special Administrative Region is to introduce foreign capital, learn from advanced foreign experience, obtain advanced foreign technology, and become a test field for reform.

However, things are not as perfect as imagined. Because foreign companies have no confidence in China, and foreign capital has entered the country at that time, and companies that have opened domestic companies, they have to transfer their technology.

Therefore, foreign multinational enterprises, especially those with high technological content, either ignore the existence of Shenzhen and use Hong Kong as a springboard to enter the country, or establish labor-intensive and low-tech processing enterprises. In fact, they have not brought much benefit to the improvement of domestic technological technology.

Now Shenzhen, most of its main factories are Hong Kong and Taiwan enterprises. These investors who arrived in the early stage are patriotic businessmen who are really worried about state affairs. Of course, patriotism and making money are not contradictory, so a large amount of capital and technology come from these two places.

However, the technology they bring is also advanced compared to domestically and does not have an advantage internationally.

As a pass, Luohu Port is very simple. There are long queues on the mainland side of the pass at the wooden fence. These are all people who come to Hong Kong to visit relatives and friends. In the sultry weather, they are exposed in the uncovered outdoors, and they are all sweating profusely, and the crowd emits a strong smell of sweat.

But no one cared about such weather. They stretched their necks and looked anxiously at the people ahead for the pass inspection. In their eyes, they were filled with a longing for a happy life. They did not expect how to succeed in Hong Kong with their unskilled hands.

A bus stopped at the checkpoint guarded by the Hong Kong police opposite. The mainland tourists who came down were all packs of small bags, including clothing, electrical appliances, and food. Everyone's face was filled with joy.

"Wow, that man also carried a TV. How could he take such a big thing back?" Lin Yi was beside him, leaning against the car window, covering her mouth and whispering in a low voice.

Xiao Qiang's heart was also greatly shocked!

A small level clearly draws a boundary, one side is poverty and the other side is wealth. Everything is condensed in this small scene!

After possessing him, he accepted that this was a backward era and gradually adapted to this era. But at this moment, he suddenly realized that this was not the case. It turned out that our country could actually become rich and strong, just like the other side!

The impact in his heart was indescribable!

People's desire to change the quality of life. This desire cannot be closed by a checkpoint, nor can it be realized by just a short-term trip. What they need is the prosperity of the entire country, abundant materials and leading technology!

Some hidden emotions seemed to be revived from Xiao Qiang's heart in an instant, and his eyes felt a little wet.

The accompanying staff from the Foreign Affairs Department of Guangdong Province got off the car and said a few words to the people at the checkpoint checkpoint, took out their work permits and showed them to them. A staff member came to the checkpoint and looked at the people in the car and asked them to pass the checkpoint first.

Xiao Qiang saw various emotions such as envy, jealousy, anxiety, etc. from the eyes of those who were waiting to pass the level.

A tingling pain penetrated his heart deeply.

Everyone in the car was in silence.

Lin Yi pulled the car window up and held his hand tightly, as if she wanted to draw strength from him.

"One day, I will let everyone not have to squeeze in to buy enough goods anymore. One day, I will let those foreigners squeeze in to sell their latest products to China!" Xiao Qiang swore in his heart.

After coming out of Luohu Port, no one was excited. All kinds of complex emotions were entangled in their hearts. Tian Shengying, who had always talked a lot, was also rare to remain silent.

It is difficult to clear and explain in words just by using language. But as long as you look at the lives of the people in the two neighboring areas, people can understand it immediately. This comparison is really too strong, so strong that people who have become accustomed to the poor life in the mainland can find it difficult to fully accept this impact in their hearts!

It may also be because the weather was too stuffy, so no one said a word along the way until the car stopped at the magnificent door of the Regent Hotel.

Xiao Qiang and his friends stopped at the Luohu Pass. After they came out, they took a Hong Kong rental car. On the way, they looked at the buses of various countries, and everyone looked at them without squinting - they were already numb.

Xiao Qiang and two Guangdong Foreign Affairs Department personnel are quite normal. Xiao Qiang has memories of his previous life. Hong Kong's wealth is nothing in his eyes. After the emotional impact of Luohu Port, he quickly recovered.

The two accompanying staff from Guangdong's foreign affairs department often traveled to and from Guangdong, Hong Kong, and were also immune to their hearts.

Lin Yi and Su Zheng and others opened their mouths wide, looking at the glass curtain wall that could be seen as light-catching, revealing the expressions of rural people entering the city, which made them difficult to control themselves. Even Tian Shengying, who was a senior official, had never seen such a beautiful environment under his father's strict rule. He entered the hotel hall like a sleepwalking.

Xiao Qiang asked them to wait in the lobby rest area, and went to the front desk alone to check in.

Perhaps there were too many places to travel in my previous life, so he could say a few words in Cantonese, but he was not very fluent, but there was no problem at all and he didn't need a accompanying translation from the Guangdong Foreign Affairs Bureau.

To be honest, he never checked in such a luxurious hotel in his memory, but he had seen many worlds and did not feel panic. He quickly checked in.

He looked at Lin Yi who was still looking around and laughed.

Fortunately, Lin Yi didn't let her follow her. If she knew that she would cost more than HK$3,000, she would probably scream out without control.

Their group of six people, and the expense of staying in the hotel on this day was 7,000 to 8,000 Hong Kong dollars!

Fortunately, the first batch of projectors produced were immediately booked by some public institutions and the Southwest Military Region, and the money was transferred to his account on its own initiative. Xiao Qiang and others could not afford such an expensive hotel.

On the first day, they didn't go anywhere, which was a psychological adaptation period. Even so, when they saw all kinds of novel things, they would discuss it in a fuss. The people coming and going stopped and watched them from time to time, which made Xiao Qiang feel a little embarrassed.

He pulled Lin Yi and hid in the room. He wanted to take this opportunity to cook the raw rice. Who knew that as soon as Lin Yi arrived at the room, she turned on the hotel's TV and asked Xiao Qiang, who was a Cantonese speaker, to explain to her. What was said on the TV, and she was full of curiosity about this city that was very different from the country.

Xiao Qiang's commentator was dry and he was not until late at night that he persuaded Lin Yi to turn off the TV and go to wash.

He heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom, and he was a little restless on the sofa. He was going to say goodbye to his virginity tonight. Why didn't he be so excited?

The sound of water stopped, and he was surprised to find that Lin Yi had come out wearing her clothes again, but the wet hair on her head showed that she had taken a shower.

"Xiao Qiang, come and see. I found a cabinet in the bathroom. When I opened it, I saw that there were a lot of clothes hanging inside, just like Japanese robes. I don't know who has lived here, and I even forgot to take the clothes away! It's so funny!" Lin Yi jumped over and ran over, stepping on the carpet with smooth feet, wearing nothing.

Xiao Qiang slapped his forehead and smiled bitterly: "That's not the clothes that anyone forgot to take away. They are pajamas provided by the hotel, which are specially designed for customers to wash and change them after washing. When they go to bed at night, they also fall asleep in pajamas. When you wake up in the morning, you just need to change the pajamas and put them at the door. Naturally, people from the hotel come in and clean and disinfect them, and then change into clean clothes. Also, the towels here are like this. As long as customers move in, they will be the same as at home. They are just cleaning and tidying, and the hotel will do it for them."

"Really?" Lin Yi widened her eyes, unable to believe that there was such a good place, and then she became worried, "Then it must be very expensive to live here, right?"

Xiao Qiang smiled and put Lin Yilou on his chest: "Fortunately, your husband still has the money. I dare not say that there is too much. We will live here for a year or two, and it will be fine."

"Wow! So expensive!" Lin Yi was so beautiful. Of course she knew how rich Xiao Qiang is now, but even so, Xiao Qiang said that she could only live here for a year or two, so the accommodation fee here is not tens of thousands every day.

Her heart was so scared that she was beating. She had never spent money like this since she was a child. She was not spending money like this. She was simply spending money!

"Xiao Qiang, I'll discuss something with you. Is it okay?" Lin Yi supported Xiao Qiang's chest, supported her upper body, and said hesitantly.

"Okay, what's wrong with it! My wife's words are the highest instructions. How dare I not listen!" Xiao Qiang smiled halfway, and when he saw Lin Yi's expression, he immediately understood, "But if he changes a hotel, then... ah, don't pinch it, don't pinch it!"

Lin Yi twisted his arm, blushed, and pouted, "You were just saying that you listened to me, and you will change your words immediately! You are a big hooligan who doesn't keep your word!"

Xiao Qiang giggled. Of course he knew why Lin Yi called him a hooligan, because when Lin Yi's warm body leaned up, he immediately reacted, and Lin Yi was not sure about her.

He held Lin Yi in his arms, smelled the faint fragrance of the bathing fragrance in her hair, and said softly: "Xiaoyi, of course I know that I can't spend money indiscriminately. However, this time I came out for commercial purposes. I will meet with some relevant personnel and need a show to explain my strength to them. Think about it, if you want to meet someone and discuss a business worth tens of millions of dollars, will you still trust him when you see him living in an old and broken hotel?"

Lin Yi thought for a while and nodded: "Yes! He sells things to me, of course I have to pay for the goods before receiving them. If I sell things to him, of course I have to receive them before receiving them."

Xiao Qiang smiled and his fingers shaved across her nose: "The little guy is too smart. He doesn't want to suffer anyway. But, if you do this, who is willing to do business with you?"

"If I don't do big business, I'll do small business. As long as I can eat and wear well, why bother calculating this and that all day long? Isn't it too tiring to live like that?" Lin Yi leaned against his shoulder, with her face close to her face, and said quietly.

Xiao Qiang's heartstrings were tugged for a moment, and he sighed. Such a peaceful life was actually what he expected.

His fingers slid between Lin Yi's still wet hair, and his heart was full of tenderness.

A contented wife is his best companion in this life. How happy it would be to get to know that he can gather the power that can guarantee his own freedom and travel with Lin Yi!

For no reason, the people whom he saw today at Luohu Port appeared in front of him, those eyes, and his oath, and he sighed silently.

The strength of the country is not what he can bear alone. The days when Lin Yi's smile and proud mountains and rivers will come true...

In her arms, Lin Yi's slight breath told him that Lin Yi was already asleep. She had read too much and heard too much today, which exceeded her spiritual acceptance limit and was too tired.

The hotel's central air conditioning made a faint sound, with a cool air gushing, without any sense of scorching heat.

Xiao Qiang gently picked her up, took off her coat, put it on the bed, and covered her with a quilt.

He hugged Lin Yi, but there was no longer any turmoil. He could only spend his whole life with the lovely person in his arms.

In the morning, he was awakened by the itch in his nostrils. Before he opened his eyes, he sneezes. In a daze, he saw Lin Yi pinching a strand of hair, half supporting her body, and looking at him playfully.

"Naughty! It's time to beat me!" Xiao Qiang reached into the hot quilt and slapped Lin Yi's plump buttocks twice, which made her jump from the bed and hid to the other end.
To be continued...
