My Realistic Simulation Game

Chapter 183 The Pioneers and Courage of Young People

A brief silence fell over the office.

Binzi, Gangzi, and Wu Weiguo exchanged glances, each seeing indescribable shock in the other's eyes, followed by a raging fire that ignited after the initial shock.

Qin Yuan's vision extends further than theirs, his plans are more in-depth, and his ambitions are greater!

This is no longer just about doing business; it's about playing a grand game of strategy at the forefront of the times!

But we are all young people, and what young people have in abundance is a pioneering spirit and the courage to risk their lives.

None of them lacked that drive.

Binzi broke the silence first. He took a deep breath, his eyes burning: "Brother Yuan, I understand. You tell us what to do, and we'll do it. When do we leave for Moscow?"

"No rush." ​​Qin Yuan waved his hand calmly, as if he were talking about a trivial matter. "Chery has only just been built up as an empty shell; it doesn't even have bones and flesh yet."

"The best time for us to go to the Soviet Union to discuss cooperation with Kadanikov and others at a higher level will be when Zhao Donglai has definite news from Europe, Li Chuze brings our 'talented leader' back from the Northeast, and Chery has gained credibility that can impress people."

His tone softened, and he said with a smile, "Now that you two have just returned, your primary task is to rest well and spend time with your family."

“In a few days, we’ll be going to Langfang together for Magan’er’s wedding. Uncle Zhang is the officiant, and we’ve all agreed to be his best men.”

Upon hearing the phrase "a simple wedding," the tense atmosphere in the office instantly became relaxed and warm.

Binzi and Gangzi couldn't help but smile knowingly.

Wu Weiguo grinned, his eyes full of anticipation.

Gangzi clicked his tongue twice, his words full of envy: "That kid Magan'er, he's never said a word, yet he's the first among us to get a wife. Can you believe it?"

"And what's more, he's incredibly lucky. He actually found such a beautiful and virtuous Soviet girl like Zoya, who is devoted to him and wants to go back to his country to live with him. He's really struck it lucky!"

Wu Weiguo joked from the side, "What's wrong, Gangzi? Are you envious? With your current status and abilities, you could get a Volga and drive around the hutongs of Beijing a few times. I guarantee a bunch of aunties and grandmas would be lining up to introduce you to potential partners. Teachers, doctors, government officials—they'd practically wear down your doorstep!"

Although it was a joke, Gangzi's eyes really lit up. He stroked his chin, seemingly seriously considering the feasibility of the plan, which made everyone laugh.

After laughing, Binzi remembered the important matter and said to Qin Yuan, "Brother Yuan, we really met a talented person in Moscow this time."

He was referring to Wang Gongquan, and then briefly described the chance encounter in Kuibyshev, Wang Gongquan's subsequent initiative to stay and help, and his outstanding abilities demonstrated in the docking with the Volga plant.

"This person has a clear mind, is extremely organized, and has excellent communication and coordination skills. He is capable of great things. I think he should be kept on and given important responsibilities."

When Qin Yuan first heard the name "Wang Gongquan," he thought it was just a coincidence. But when he heard keywords like "Institute for Economic System Reform," "Qiongzhou," and "having guts," he immediately knew for sure.

This is Wang Gongquan, one of the "Six Gentlemen of Vantone" in history, and the elder brother and mentor of Pan Shiyi, the future real estate tycoon!
This is a truly strategic and organizationally capable manager!

Qin Yuan was secretly delighted, but remained outwardly calm. He said to Binzi, "Now that you mention it, he is indeed a talented person. Is he downstairs? Tell him to come up so I can meet him."

"They should still be downstairs handing things over with the people from the Ministry of Trade." Binzi nodded and turned to tell Gangzi to go and call them.

Before long, Wang Gongquan was led to the office.

He was still wearing that slightly worn but clean and tidy Zhongshan suit, with glasses perched on his nose, his expression calm yet carrying a hint of humility and arrogance as he scrutinized.

Qin Yuan didn't engage in much small talk, and went straight to asking several questions about the current state of Sino-Soviet trade, the integration of light industrial product channels, and future plans, which seemed to be a test for him.

After a moment's thought, Wang Gongquan clearly and logically presented his views.

He not only saw the huge demand for light industrial products in the Soviet market, but also keenly pointed out the limitations of the current fragmented reseller model, and put forward the initial idea of ​​building a systematic and platform-based supply chain.

His vision and perspective far surpass those of ordinary traders or even general trading company managers.

After their conversation, Qin Yuan had already made up his mind.

"Mr. Wang is a man of great talent, and it is our honor that you would deign to join our Far East Trading Company." Qin Yuan smiled and extended an invitation directly. "We currently have an important responsibility, and I wonder if Mr. Wang would be willing to take it on?"

"Please speak, Mr. Qin." Wang Gongquan adjusted his glasses, his eyes sharp.

Qin Yuan then shared his idea with Xu Zhenbang about the "China Light Industrial Products (Winter) Fair" and aviation trade platform.

"...This matter requires someone to coordinate the overall situation and travel between major light industrial production areas in China and Sichuan Airlines to create an efficient air corridor for our future trade with the Soviet Union."

“I think you are the most suitable candidate. You can partner with Weiguo, who will be responsible for coordinating relationships and some execution, while you will be responsible for strategic planning and implementation.”

Upon hearing this, Wu Weiguo, who was standing to the side, immediately became anxious.

It wasn't that he had a problem with Wang Gongquan, but rather that he simply didn't want to leave Qin Yuan's side and was worried about Qin Yuan's safety.

"Brother Yuan, it was fine for me to run errands before since you had no one else to send, but now that Mr. Wang is here, it's definitely no problem for him to take the lead!"

"But I still want to stay by your side; protecting your safety is the most important thing. Traveling to other places and building platforms takes too long..."

Qin Yuan shook his head, his tone gentle yet undeniable: "Wei Guo, I understand your intentions. But I have Markov and Andrei by my side, so there's no need to worry about my safety."

"What you need now is to develop the ability to work independently and to have achievements that can be written on your resume."

“Working on this project with Mr. Wang will not only allow you to learn real skills, but once this platform is established, you will be one of the founding members. What you gain will be much more than just experience and a resume.” Qin Yuan subtly mentioned the achievement points, bringing Wu Weiguo to his senses.

"Wei Guo," Qin Yuan said in a low voice, "we can't always think about solving problems with force. We need to learn to use our brains and resources so that they can help me more in the future, understand?"

Upon hearing Qin Yuan's words, Wu Weiguo felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

He knew that Brother Yuan was genuinely paving the way for him and considering his well-being.

He nodded emphatically, no longer insisting: "I understand, Brother Yuan! I will definitely learn from Mr. Wang and build this platform."

Wang Gongquan also sensed Qin Yuan's trust and the potential of this platform business. After a moment's contemplation, he solemnly replied, "Thank you for your high regard, President Qin. I will do my utmost to live up to your expectations!"

Binzi and Gangzi didn't feel envious when they saw Qin Yuan's arrangements for Wu Weiguo.

They bore even heavier responsibilities, including the transshipment of Jeanswest clothing and the trade between China and the Soviet Union via automobiles.

As for Wu Weiguo, he used to follow them around, helping out and mostly protecting Qin Yuan's safety.

It's a good thing that I can go out and learn and train under Wang Gongquan's guidance now.

In order to make it to Ma Gan'er's wedding, Wu Weiguo and Wang Gongquan boarded a flight to Chengdu the next day.

The most crucial element of this "China Light Industrial Products (Winter) Exhibition and Sales Fair" and aviation trade platform is the air routes established by Sichuan Airlines.

Only with this route can we carry out subsequent product promotion cooperation.

Although Qin Yuan and Xu Zhenbang had reached a verbal agreement, it had not yet been put in writing, and Jiang Pinwen, the general manager of Sichuan Airlines, had not yet given his approval.

Therefore, the first thing to do for this platform is to confirm the cooperation with Sichuan Airlines.

Just two days after Wu Weiguo and his companion left, Ma Gan'er arrived in Yanjing from Langfang with his fiancée, Zhuoya.

Their main purpose in coming here was to try on the custom-made wedding dresses and to send wedding invitations to Qin Yuan's parents, Old Zhang, and other elders.

The small courtyard of Qin Yuan's house was bustling with activity.

Qin Jianguo, Old Zhang, and the neighbors were all watching the newlyweds from the doorway.

Interracial marriages are quite rare these days, though most of them involve women marrying foreigners.

It's rare to see someone like Magan'er marry a foreign wife.

"Great, great! The skinny kid who used to hang out with Xiao Yuan every day is now getting married and starting a family."

Qin Ma Zhang Guilan looked at Ma Gan'er and Zhuoya, and her eyes couldn't help but well up with tears.

He then took out a gold bracelet from his pre-prepared pocket and personally put it on Zoya's wrist.

"Zoya, your godmother doesn't have much to give you, but when I heard you were getting married, I went to a jewelry store and got you a gold bracelet made. Don't mind it."

Zoya glanced at the skinny guy, then at Elena, the only two Russians present. Seeing their smiling faces, she said in broken Chinese, "Thank you, godmother."

The word "godmother" brought laughter to the entire courtyard, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere.

Zhang Guilan was overjoyed and immediately began preparing a delicious meal to entertain her distinguished guest.

In the inner courtyard, Ma Gan'er looked at Qin Yuan, then said somewhat shyly, "Brother Yuan... could I borrow those Volga cars from the company for my wedding? As a wedding car fleet, to make a good impression..."

He made a big splash by bringing a foreign wife back to his hometown, but nobody knew what he was doing outside.

It's another wedding, and Magan'er wants to give Zhuoya a grand and spectacular wedding.

Qin Yuan slapped his forehead and laughed, "Look at me, I completely forgot about that. Of course, the wedding car is no problem; we sell cars ourselves."

"Alright, I'll arrange ten brand-new Volga trucks for you, all black, and we'll form a convoy and drive to Langfang!"

"Ten Volga trucks?!" Ma Gan'er exclaimed, his mouth agape in astonishment. This was quite a display of power!
Qin Yuan thought for a moment, then picked up the phone again: "A Volga alone isn't grand enough. I'll find you two better wedding cars."

He dialed Li Chuze's number directly.

On the other end of the phone, Crown Prince Li Chuze, upon hearing that one of Qin Yuan's core brothers was getting married, immediately became interested: "Hey, this is great news! Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

"No problem, I have a brand new Crown here, and I'll borrow my old man's Mercedes to be your main wedding car. I guarantee it will make your brother look good."

"What's the wedding date? I want to go and join in the fun!"

Well, now even the Crown Prince has to attend in person.

It would be hard for Ma Gan'er's wedding not to be grand.

This small county town of Langfang has probably never seen a wedding procession like this before.
