The Life of a Son-in-Law in a Courtyard House

Ma San'er, Sheng Ge, Tian Ge, etc., can all be given a piece by themselves when the time comes.

And those underlings from the compound, too, are indispensable.

Anyway, I have plenty of jade.

But let's leave aside Minister Duan and those other leaders.

It's inappropriate for them to wear jade.

When they retire, we can give each of them a walnut bracelet or a small hand-held piece for them to play with.

You can also give a piece of jade to your sister-in-law Gong Xuemei, sister-in-law Liu Meimei, wife of Minister Teng, wife of Minister Duan, and other female elders.

When I got married, people spent a lot of money, effort, and gifts on me.

Why don't you know how to be grateful?

I'll go to northern Myanmar again sometime.

Get more jadeite in imperial green, red, yellow, purple, black, and white (colorless) colors.

We'll find some master craftsmen from Suzhou to carve some more privately.

It can be given as a gift later.

You should go and get more of these good items yourself.

Staying in the area will only lead to them harming other Chinese people in the future.

It's better to collect more yourself.

Yang Dalin asked Aunt Wang to have some food with him.

As a result, Aunt Wang said she wasn't hungry.

While eating with his wife, Yang Dalin said to the old lady, "Auntie, next time you write to ask my brother Wang if they can send things over there."

If possible, next time I'll make some cured meat, smoked chicken, smoked rabbit, or something like that.

You send it to them.

They certainly don't have the same abundance of resources as Beijing.

Let's also give them some nourishment.

Aunt Wang nodded repeatedly, indicating that she would definitely ask.

I chatted with Aunt Wang for quite a while.

Aunt Wang had just left.

Sister Yan has a three-day honeymoon leave.

I don't need to go to work these next few days.

Yang Dalin then prepared to spend three sweet honeymoon days with Sister Yan.

Unfortunately, on the second day of his marriage, Director Hou sent Gao Xiaohu to fetch him.

Yang Dalin had no choice but to leave Sister Yan alone while he went to find Director Hou.

Director Hou was not at his secret office.

Instead, it was in an office within the economic department.

Yang Dalin was led by Gao Xiaohu directly to an office building here.

Arriving at the easternmost office on the third floor, I knocked on the door and went in, only to find a big shot with a hooked nose sitting inside.

A certain Hong Kong superstar bears a resemblance to this big shot.

That Heavenly King seems to be several years old now.

Yang Dalin naturally recognized this bigwig.

His surname is Chen, and he is in charge of economics.

He is still the head of the Central Five-Person Economic Leading Group.

As soon as Yang Dalin entered, he saluted and said, "Greetings, leaders."

The bigwig surnamed Chen chuckled and said, "Comrade Yang Dalin, hello there. Please sit down. I've heard about your affairs."

Today, Lao Hou will talk about the plan you mentioned before.

I want to tell you that the leaders support it.

I also support it.

"Thank you so much for your support, leaders."

"Oh, you're welcome."

There are precedents for this.

It wasn't created by you first.

Oh, this is the first time Yang Dalin has heard about this.

He thought there were no Sino-foreign joint ventures in China.

It won't happen until the reform and opening up. Before, when he proposed joint ventures, I thought it would be very difficult and that I would need to convince many bigwigs.

I never expected that, after hearing what Boss Chen said, there was already a Sino-foreign joint venture in China as early as 1951.

It is called Longbo Shipping Co., Ltd.

It is a joint venture between China and Bolan.

Each party owns half of the shares.

It is jointly operated by two companies.

It's been over ten years, and it's still operating quite well.

Moreover, Yang Dalin was unaware that the company still existed before he transmigrated.

It has been operating well.

With a precedent in place, things become much easier to discuss.

However, that was a 50/50 split, meaning it was actually dominated by two governments.

The joint venture that Yang Dalin mentioned was one where he didn't want domestic companies to hold management rights; he didn't care if they gave him more shares.

Otherwise, many of these people really don't have much experience, and it's quite different from operating a joint venture in shipping.

Yang Dalin was afraid that these people would run the business and ruin it.

Furthermore, Yang Dalin also offered suggestions.

Leaders of large domestic enterprises should receive regular training.

Don't just focus on grabbing official positions without knowing how to manage them.

We should encourage them to learn from foreign business operators how to operate overseas.

These are, after all, two different markets.

China has a planned economy, which is different from the outside world.

Chen listened carefully to Yang Dalin's advice.

I asked about the specific details one by one.

And then he actually dared to agree.

Yang Dalin may not know that he also contributed to the reform and opening up.

Boss Chen has a very long-term vision.

He understands some economic issues better than many people.

He agreed to set up a few pilot companies to test the waters first.

Half of the shares are required.

It does not occupy operating rights.

The mainland company holds half of the shares, contributing land, labor, and factory buildings.

Yang Dalin arranged for a Hong Kong-funded enterprise to hold half of the shares, contributing capital, technology, and management expertise.

If these companies do well in the future, we'll open more companies there.

They are all Hong Kong-funded Chinese-owned enterprises, which are better than some white-owned enterprises.

If these companies are controlled by white capital, Mr. Chen may need to think about it for a while longer.

Yang Dalin also implied that the company he started with the capital given to him by Director Hou held a certain number of shares in these companies.

In addition, the domestic shareholding far exceeds half.

If there's a serious problem, you can take back these companies' assets.

This made Boss Chen even more willing.

These companies will all be established in Bao'an County Special Economic Zone.

Boss Chen also told him to go ahead and do it without worry.

If he really does a good job, we will recommend him for commendation in the future.

With the support of a super big shot.

Yang Dalin naturally felt more at ease.

After saying goodbye to Boss Chen, Yang Dalin and Director Hou left the office building together.

Yang Dalin asked Director Hou, "Director, I just got married, can I bring my wife to work with me?"

Director Hou laughed at him: "What's wrong?"

You'll miss it!

However, this is somewhat unrealistic.

First of all, your wife doesn't have a strong ability to protect herself.

Your job is dangerous from time to time, do you think it's appropriate to take her with you?

Secondly, if you actually bring it, I'm afraid some people will have opinions about you.

So, do you think it's better to bring it or not?

Another problem has been thrown at us.

Yang Dalin knew this would happen.

Indeed, I would bring my wife with me.

Many people may be worried about themselves again.

Forget it, let's not put Director Hou in a difficult position.

He could leave his wife in his hometown, essentially keeping her as a hostage.

At worst, I can just come back a few more times each year.

Since Director Hou does not recommend that I apply to take my wife to Hong Kong Island.

Then why not take him back to his hometown and hold a wedding banquet there?

Director Hou did not object to this matter.

He said, "You just need to adjust your partner's work schedule; I don't care."

But you need to hurry.

With Chen Laoda issuing the document, Bao'an County is about to get busy.

You'd better hurry up and get busy in Hong Kong.

And things are rather unstable in Java.

Recently, intelligence agents from over there have sent over a lot of information.

It looks like things are about to get really chaotic.

You should also be prepared.

"Yes, I understand, Director. We'll go and come back quickly."

We'll be back in three days at most.

"I'll head to Hong Kong Island as soon as I get back."

Director Hou said, "You can arrange your own time."

"Come on, get in my car, I'll take you home."
