Courtyard House: Drunk and tipsy, the whole courtyard exposed at the start.

Chapter 325 Utility Knives Go into Production, Full Warehouse Arrangements Made

"You little punk, you dare bite me? Guangfu, you beat him up!"

"Silly Zhu, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and help!"

"Grandpa, whose side should I take?"

"I'll help your brother Dongxu!"

"You son of a bitch, Yi Zhonghai! You dare to have people bully my son? I'll beat you to death, you bastard!"

"Jiecheng, come help!"

"It's not appropriate for me to get involved in the affairs of Guangqi and your families..."

"1 yuan!"

"You idiot Zhu, you dare hit the chairman? You've gone too far!"

"Liberate the mines, go help Guangfu!"

……

Thus, the third war within the entire college officially began.

Meanwhile, Zhang Dabiao, the instigator, was catching up on sleep in the cabin. After several hours of commotion, he was indeed quite tired.

There's another question—

Do we need to build another teleportation point in Beijing?

Otherwise, if you climb over the wall from the courtyard, you'll be easily discovered.

------------

With the ministry's intervention, the cases in Qinjiatun and Xiagezhuang were quickly dealt with; those who deserved to be executed were executed, and those who deserved to be imprisoned were imprisoned.

Zhang Dabiao's new "invention" was also reported to the ministry.

This isn't an invention, because the Swiss Army Knife, or multi-functional folding tool knife, already existed in the world.

Putting aside other things, a considerable amount of spoils were captured on the northern battlefield.

This item is only found among diplomats, foreign aid experts, and a very small number of returned overseas Chinese. It may appear through personal gifts or other means, and the quantity is extremely small. It is not circulated among the public and it is impossible for it to form a market.

Zhang Dabiao's product clearly had a different manufacturing process and a different approach, so everyone believed that he designed it himself and then had someone else make it.

It can only be said that it provides the ministry with a direction for production.

Technically, at that time, China lacked advanced technologies such as precision hardware, stainless steel heat treatment, and multi-part hinge assembly, making it difficult to mass-produce qualified multi-functional military knives; and there was a lack of related molds and specialized equipment.

In terms of policy: Under a planned economy, production must be subject to mandatory plans issued by the state; civilian multi-functional knives are not scarce materials and will not be included in the production plan; at the same time, the imitation of "capitalist commodities" is not in line with the ideology, form and orientation of the time.

But what if we think of it differently? We could use this as a multi-functional household folding tool knife, export it, or give it as a gift.

External focus, not internal focus?

Because the Ministry of Light Industry's "Report on Emergency Arrangements for the Production of Daily Industrial Products" was approved on January 7, the factory's recent development has been quite good, and it has the capacity to make some changes.

So Hongxing Daily Necessities Manufacturing Plant, together with Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill, tried to replicate a batch of multi-functional folding tool knives.

Steel rolling mills use scrap materials to produce basic parts molds, which are then polished and assembled by daily necessities manufacturers.

Functionally, it mainly combines the basic functions of a fruit knife, small scissors, flathead screwdriver, box screwdriver, bottle opener, wine opener, hex wrench, etc.

Believe it or not, these little gadgets actually sell quite well when exported.

So the department gave Zhang Dabiao another 200 yuan bonus.

For Zhang Dabiao, it was better than nothing; it was enough to fulfill the department's annual task requirements.

------------

On Qin Mancang's side, Zhang Dabiao went to Shau Kei Wan to buy sleeping pills, gave them to him, and then moved him to another room. He wandered around the village house and even locked him in the basement for half a day, creating the illusion that he was constantly being moved.

Actually, that's not very precise. Ideally, you'd have a boat or a car to put him in and haul him around for a day. But right now, where are you going to find a car or a boat?

Around four or five in the morning on the third day, Zhang Dabiao finally woke Qin Mancang up and moved him to the cabin in "Mixue Ice City" before taking off his blindfold.

Zhang Dabiao introduced himself in a serious manner: "I am Zhang Dabiao's twin brother, Zhang Yaoyang."

"My brother has handed you over to me. From now on, you'll call me Uncle Yaoyang and follow me."

"Is there a problem?"

Whether the other party believes it or not is irrelevant, but this is the only way to do it for now.

Qin Mancang was in a daze for a moment, then looked at Zhang Dabiao, who was looking very serious, and was a little confused.

"Uncle Da Biao, are you kidding me?"

He hadn't reacted yet.

Just as Zhang Dabiao was about to say something to him, someone outside called out.

"Boss, Boss Lou has just delivered the fruit. I want you to sign for it."

"Just have Ah Xiang come and sign for it. I'm not here, so he'll take full responsibility."

Qin Mancang's eyes widened in disbelief—what kind of gibberish was this?

Zhang Dabiao shook his head and led him out of the cabin, seeing is believing.

Seeing the busy shop assistants, pedestrians on the street, and the British people who occasionally passed by or went into the store to order food, Qin Mancang finally understood.

Zhang Dabiao used some unknown method to transport him to Hong Kong, thousands of miles away.

And the person in front of him was really Zhang Yaoyang, Zhang Dabiao's twin brother?

You have to believe it whether you want to or not.

Because Zhang Dabiao wouldn't come with him to Hong Kong to flee; there's no need for him to.

Then "Zhang Yaoyang" took Qin Mancang to find Lou Yufan and asked him to help him get an ID card, introducing him as a nephew from the mainland.

And Qin Mancang was put under A Xiang's command, first as a shop assistant, and also lived here.

The instruction I gave him was to say that he was a relative in mainland China, but to say as little as possible about things in mainland China, especially about having a twin brother there.

Boss Lou knew, but the employees didn't; the less they said, the less likely they were to make a mistake.

They took Qin Mancang to a photo studio to take pictures, and also took the photographer to the street and to "Mixue Ice Cream" where Qin Mancang wore work clothes and took pictures in the dormitory where he lived.

He then asked Qin Mancang to write another letter, along with a photo, which he would then "send" back to the mainland to put the elderly couple and Qin Dingsong at ease.

Similarly, without mentioning Cheung Yiu-yeung, let's just say that Cheung Tai-piu used his connections to send him to Hong Kong. Now he has a place to live and a job, so his family doesn't need to worry and he will write back home frequently.

After settling Qin Mancang in, Zhang Dabiao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This kid (who is actually two years older than Zhang Dabiao) is loyal and righteous, and dares to fight and kill. If he were arrested and imprisoned by the police, even if he wasn't executed, it would be quite unjust.

After all, he killed the man to save Zhang Dabiao, so Zhang Dabiao had to take responsibility for this.

As for the Mixue Ice Cream business, Zhang Dabiao doesn't want to expand it for the time being; he's content with having enough money.

Hong Kong in the 60s was very chaotic. You could be wiped out in no time if you left Shau Kei Wan, so it was already a miracle if you could even establish yourself there.

Moreover, Zhang Dabiao himself has a lot of troubles, and before the personnel reserves and relationship network are established, blind expansion will only lead to a dead end.

We're just staying put in Shau Kei Wan for now; we'll talk about it another time.

Zhang Dabiao earns over HK$5 a month, what more could he ask for?

------------

After returning to Beijing, Zhang Dabiao still found time to visit Qinjiatun.

They showed Qin Dashan and his wife Qin Mancang's photo and letter, as well as the brigade leader Qin Dingsong. They wept uncontrollably upon seeing the photo, and upon learning that their son was safe and sound and had established himself in Hong Kong, they immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Zhang Dabiao.

Zhang Dabiao stopped them. After all, Qin Mancang killed people to save him, so it was only right for him to help him. He felt a little unworthy that their parents kowtowed to him for this.

But the photos and letters were burned in front of them.
