Mixed in 1980

Chapter 243 Tit for Tat

Zeng Ali was puzzled: "What's the matter with you looking for me?"

In the mainland, the large factory invested by Zeng Ali integrates material research and development, textile, printing and dyeing, and garment making. The project has gradually been implemented, but nothing has happened.

"We are short of foreign exchange and want money from you."

"Ask me for money? I don't owe him anything. The company has been expanding, and I can't spare too much funds." Zeng Ali curled her lips.

"The first phase of your factory has been completed, but the subsequent investment funds have not yet come in. He is eyeing the subsequent payments and probably wants to urge them."

It is no exaggeration to say that the factory invested by Zeng Ali is a giant factory.

Zeng Ali is very bold in this matter. If the entire factory is fully operational, the total investment will not be less than 1 million US dollars.

The current investment is 2000 million US dollars, and this is just the first phase!
Zeng Ali plans to complete the project within five years: "It's OK to go over and talk about it, but this year's goal is the first phase of the project. I don't plan to start the second phase."

The first phase of the project has already involved a lot of work. In addition to Lululemon’s own orders, some orders must also be drawn from other companies in order to fully absorb the factory’s production capacity.

Some time ago in Hong Kong, Zeng Ali had been preparing for this matter. A sales department has been set up and is busy soliciting orders.

The next day, when he arrived at the Ministry of Foreign Trade, Sun Shaojie complained bitterly that the economy had shown a tendency to overheat this year, imports had surged, and there was simply not enough foreign exchange.

Imported items include weapons, technology, equipment, etc., and the proportion of automobiles has also increased significantly. The list of imports that require foreign exchange has already been queued up until next year.

"What do you two mean? Give me some reaction!"

Sun Shaojie suddenly felt very depressed. He had described the situation so miserably, but the couple just kept silent, acting as if it had nothing to do with them.

It's a waste of time to wink at a blind man!

"Brother, are you thirsty?" Chen Fan asked.

"I'm not thirsty!"

"I'm thirsty!"

Sun Shaojie was annoyed and quickly made some tea. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Chen Fan say, "Brother, you can't just grab a sheep and try to pull it hard."

"Look at what you said, am I such a person?"

Sun Shaojie rolled his eyes at him and said to Zeng Ali with a wry smile, "Sister-in-law, when do you plan to start the second phase of your factory project?"

Zeng Ali took a sip of tea and said, "Next year!"

Sun Shaojie said: "Early next year?"

Zeng Ali was slightly stunned, looked at Chen Fan, and only agreed when he saw him nod. It was not impossible to start work at the beginning of next year, but they had to get the order as soon as possible.

Take more orders for processing on your behalf!

Sun Shaojie secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Junior brother, how about you? It's already October, and as promised before, there will be 2 million US dollars by the end of the year."

“It will be credited to your account next month!”

This money is not just a promise. The contract has been signed and the equity can only be confirmed after the funds are received. It includes three projects: shipyard, polyethylene and highway.

The construction of the Guangzhou-Shenzhen, Guangzhou-Zhuhai and Beijing-Tianjin expressways has already started. Chen Fan, Li Hongying and Hu Yingxiang are the three investors, and the government is investing in the form of land.

In this project, Chen Fan holds a small stake, only 15%, Li Hongying holds 5%, and the rest are in the hands of the government and Hu Yingxiang.

The same goes for the polyethylene project. By investing in Yangzi Petrochemical, Chen Fan got 10% of the shares, while Li Hongying got even less, only 2%.

The project is too big, with a total investment of 70 billion yuan, not counting other assets and manpower. It is already good to get a 10% stake.

Li Hongying, on the other hand, was very puzzled. She took out her shares in Yipintang as collateral, but ended up only getting 2% of the shares. She felt like she had been cheated.

The officials are naturally happy. With this foreign exchange coming in, the funds can be used for their intended purposes, making it much easier to introduce technology and equipment without having to ask for favors from others and queue up everywhere.

In the final shipyard project, Chen Fan took 49% of the shares and simply changed the name of the shipyard to Yangtze River Shipbuilding.

Jiangyin Shipbuilding Cooperative, what a mean name!

After the three projects, Chen Fan's total investment is as high as 8 million US dollars, 3 million US dollars will be received this year, and the remaining 5 million US dollars will be received next year.

Sun Shaojie was obviously aiming for the US$5 million next year: "Will it be credited to your account early next year?"

"Sun Shaojie, you can take advantage of me, but you can't kill the sheep, right? You want to take away all the cash flow, do you have the nerve to do that?"

After saying that, he called Zeng Ali and was about to leave.

Sun Shaojie quickly pulled him back and said with a smile, "Junior brother, let's talk it over nicely. I have no choice but to do it. According to the current import trend, next year's foreign exchange reserves will not be enough to spend. You should think of a way to squeeze out some money."

"Is it a little bit more? 5 million US dollars!"

Chen Fan was not polite at all and raised his middle finger directly: "Look all over Hong Kong, how many people can come up with 5 million US dollars in cash, not to mention the 11 million US dollars in November."

Sun Shaojie sneered: "Can anyone compare with you?"

Chen Fan sneered, "Don't flatter me. What does 7 million US dollars mean? It's 55 billion Hong Kong dollars. Go ask the charter king. Who else can come up with that amount except him?"

Sun Shaojie smiled and said, "Everyone knows that you are the cash king of Hong Kong. Do me a favor. You don't need 5 million. Just squeeze out some."

"Fuck, I'm so unlucky to have met you in my entire life."

Chen Fan asked him to bring a calculator, and after a few clicks, he roughly estimated the profit from futures trading: "I'll give you 11 million US dollars in November, no more."

"Junior brother, more!"

Sun Shaojie secretly glanced at the calculator and muttered to himself, this grandson is so fucking rich.

"Not even a cent more, forget it." "Yes, of course!"

Sun Shaojie smiled and pulled Chen Fan to sit down and brewed some tea again: "How is the port of Kwai Chung Port? It was instructed by the higher-ups. I will support you in this matter."

Chen Fan took a sip of tea and said, "Let's wait until the land auction is over. I don't have enough chips now. I need to accumulate some. We must solve it all at once."

"Ask if you need anything."

Sun Shaojie hummed, opened the office door, looked around, and closed it again, lowering his voice and saying, "The negotiations on Xiangjiang have come to an end and will be finalized soon."

Chen Fan knew what was going on.

The two countries will soon issue a joint statement to resolve Hong Kong's problems. From then on, Hong Kong's future will be bright and it will quickly enter the fast lane of development.

And this is also one of Chen Fan’s confidences!

After a moment's silence, Chen Fan thought: "I have another way to earn foreign exchange. I wonder if you are interested?"

"Isn't that nonsense? As long as I can earn foreign exchange, I'm fine with selling me."

"How much can an old man like you sell for?"

Chen Fan curled his lips and pondered for a moment: "This matter is not complicated. I have bought a lot of land and am planning to develop it. I can let China Construction take over the project."

Sun Shaojie clapped his hands: "It's settled!"

Chen Fan rolled his eyes at him and said, "Hong Kong is a bit chaotic. There are a lot of big and small gangs, especially on construction sites. It's difficult to enforce the law."

The construction sites in Hong Kong are indeed quite chaotic. From the subcontracting of projects and the transportation of materials to the boxed lunches on the construction sites, there is more or less the shadow of the criminal gangs.

"Society, what is that?"

Sun Shaojie sneered. Chen Fan was slightly stunned. Indeed, what the hell is a society?

"Give China Construction a message later."

"Don't worry, there is money to be made, and foreign exchange to be earned, how can China Construction not be happy?"

Sun Shaojie took a sip of tea and changed the subject: "The old man Wang Hetang, whom you introduced to me last time, is really an expert in Chinese medicine."

"Of course I know him. I met him in 1980. Over the years, he hasn't changed much. He looks as good as ever."

"That's right. After he treated me, my physical condition improved a lot. Your sister-in-law is even pregnant."

Sun Shaojie took out a cigarette and lit it, smiling slightly, "I'll have to bring two bottles of good wine to thank the old man later. Hey, I'm lucky to be a father in my thirties."

There's something else behind his words!
Chen Fan glanced at Zeng Ali, and his wife's eyes seemed to be strange.

The bastard did it on purpose.

I didn't bother to pay attention to him, so I took my wife and left. The bastard even said, "Remember to come to my house for the full moon banquet next year!"

When the couple went out, Sun Shaojie grinned.

Tit for tat!
As expected, when he walked out of the door, Zeng Ali asked, "What's going on with that old Chinese doctor?"

"Didn't I say that?"

"No!" Zeng Ali said affirmatively.

"He's the old Chinese doctor from Heniantang. He's very good at treating physical problems. When I came back from the production team, I wasn't feeling well, so I went to him for treatment."

Hearing this, Zeng Ali's eyes lit up: "Shall we go and have a look together tomorrow?"

Chen Fan smiled bitterly: "There's nothing wrong with our bodies, it's just that our destiny hasn't arrived yet. Maybe it will happen in two months. Sun Shaojie was really weak before."

Zeng Ali held her arm and suddenly said coquettishly, "Brother, go ahead. There's no harm in getting checked. Bring your family along. If you're sick, treat the disease. If you're not sick, take care of your health."

Unable to resist her coquettish look, Chen Fan smiled bitterly: "I have to be busy with the relocation of the graves these days. How about this, when I come back from southern Fujian, I will invite the old man to my home?"

"That's a deal?"

"When did I ever fool you?"

Zeng Ali was satisfied and sat in the passenger seat. He also praised Sun Shaojie: "Senior Brother Sun is a good person. He is willing to bend down for foreign exchange."

Chen Fan also agreed with this.

As the son of a high-ranking official, he holds a high position, so it is normal for him to be arrogant.

Sun Shaojie doesn't have this kind of temperament. In order to get foreign exchange, he doesn't care about face or anything like that. He is different from many people.

That’s why the two brothers get along so well!

After chatting for a while, the two of them arrived home and went to their sister's room to look after the children. But as soon as they entered the door, Chen Min shouted, "Get out!"

"Okay!" Chen Fan left quickly.

"If you teach Xiaoxi nonsense again, I will beat you to death." Chen Min stared, getting angrier the more he thought about it.

My daughter is now thinking that her younger brother should grow up quickly so that he can walk and play, and he will definitely be as good as his uncle in the future.

Chen Min tried to correct her but it was no use. Her daughter only said: "That's how you beat your uncle."

Tit for tat!
Chen Min never thought that the retribution for beating his younger brother would befall his son. The little guy was unlucky to have such an uncle.

Zeng Ali held back her laughter and picked up the baby: "Sister, have you thought of a name?"
