Chapter 1360 Extra (I)
In the past, there were many Hong Kong-funded enterprises in Linghai, and the local government even regarded the introduction of Hong Kong capital as the focus of attracting investment.
Later, as China joined the WTO, more and more Japanese, Korean and European and American companies came to invest in China. Hong Kong-funded companies had little advantage in capital and technology and became fewer and fewer.
The Hong Kong Industrial Park in Changzhou is not as prosperous as before. The big bosses in Hong Kong see that the operating efficiency is not as good as before. On the contrary, the value of the land has greatly increased with the completion and opening of the Yangtze River Bridge. Changzhou City is buying back the land that was sold at a low price due to the shortage of construction land. They simply packaged and sold the entire park to the Changzhou Daqiao Industrial Park Management Committee.
Lao Ge was "unemployed", but the big boss in Hong Kong gave him a very considerable compensation. He gave his two sons a sum of money, made arrangements for his hometown in Linghai, and officially moved to the East China Sea with Sister Wei and Xiao Siqi.
Zhang Erxiao's business grew bigger and bigger. He returned to his hometown in Linghai to engage in real estate. The real estate agency business in Donghai cannot be managed without trustworthy people. He was so happy to see Lao Ge coming. He "visited the thatched cottage three times" with gifts and hired Lao Ge with a high salary. Serve as the general manager of Donghai.
Lao Ge, who had been "unemployed" for less than two months, decided to take up the job again for Xiao Siqi's sake and became a real estate agent. Han Gong had nothing to do in Binjiang and wanted to use his "remaining heat", so he was seduced by Lao Ge and also worked for Zhang Erxiao. I just had to take care of my wife who was recovering from a serious illness and my elderly mother who couldn't come to Donghai, so I helped out in the Linghai project department of Zhang Erxiao Real Estate Development Company.
Sister Wei is sixty years old this year and will celebrate her birthday in the East China Sea.
She had never thought about making a big deal out of it, but it was necessary to organize her 60th birthday in her hometown in Linghai. Under the strong suggestions of Xu Haoran, Han Yu, Xiaoyu and other juniors, she decided to do it well.
In order to celebrate his mother's birthday, Xu Haoran drove to Donghai with his lover and son. When I arrived in Zhangjiang, I saw that Lao Ge was busy working for Zhang Erxiao and would not come back until evening. His sister had not finished school yet, and my mother was the only one at home.
He was a little lonely, so he went downstairs to help his mother make a birthday cake, and then asked his wife and son to stay with the old man at home, while he walked to the Maritime Public Security Bureau.
"Xu Ke, I'm sorry, Director Han went to the Maritime Safety Bureau for a meeting and won't be back until a while."
"It's okay. My mother lives nearby. I just stopped by to take a look."
"Sit down and I'll pour you some tea."
"I'm not an outsider, so there's no need to be so polite."
Xu Haoran thanked the extremely enthusiastic police officer from the Maritime Public Security Bureau office, drank tea and read the newspaper in the lounge. After waiting for about an hour, Han Yu hurried back from the meeting.
The two brothers were extremely happy to meet again after a long absence.
We walked into the director's office together and closed the door. As soon as we sat down, Xu Haoran asked curiously: "Xianyu, although you are members of the Maritime Police, your business is mainly public security. Why are you going to the Maritime Bureau for a meeting?"
Han Yu explained: "To be precise, I went to the Surveying and Mapping Office for a meeting. Yesterday afternoon, a Panamanian oil tanker caught fire and sank in our territorial waters. Next, we need to investigate the cause of the accident and salvage the sunken ship."
Xu Haoran asked: "What does this have to do with the surveying and mapping department?"
"It's very important," Han Yu said eloquently: "The sea is different from the river. No matter the accident investigation or the subsequent salvage, it is inseparable from the nautical chart. The surveying and mapping department must produce the nautical chart of the sea area where the incident occurred in the shortest possible time. Thematic maps of the trajectory of the accident ship and oil pollution diffusion maps are also required to carry out emergency scanning and surveying operations on the location of the sunken ship, and produce scanning and surveying thematic maps to provide support for superiors to deploy follow-up emergency work and related decisions. "
"But what does this have to do with your police?"
"Whenever something happens at sea, it has something to do with us. For example, we have to assist in accident investigation. And for example, in the subsequent salvage, we also have to arrange for police to go to the scene."
"I always thought that you only need to ensure the safety of the navigation beacon, but I didn't expect that there are many things."
During this rare gathering, Han Yu didn't want to talk about work. While texting Xiaoyu, he asked curiously: "Brother Haoran, where are my sister-in-law and Junjun?"
"Everyone is here, staying with my mother in the community."
"Uncle Ge isn't at home?"
"My mother said that their company is recruiting new people, and he has to conduct interviews and won't be back until later."
Zhang Erxiao's real estate agency has too much staff turnover. In the final analysis, it is still a question of salary. The basic salary is not much, and those salesmen rely entirely on commission. Those with strong business skills can make a lot of money, while those with poor business skills will not be able to continue working for a month. Moreover, a salesperson with strong business ability will not be willing to work for others after working for a year and a half. Anyway, the barriers to entry for the real estate agency industry are low, and people can rent a storefront and work alone.
Han Yu had long been accustomed to the constant turnover of staff in Zhang Er's small company. He put down his cell phone and said with a smile, "Xiaoyu replied to the message. He took half a day off and is on his way here."
"It's still early for dinner, so tell him not to rush."
"He made an appointment with Yuzhen to buy his wife's birthday gift first." Han Yu chuckled and continued: "My family's gifts have been prepared. Ning Ning and Han Han bought them the day before yesterday."
"I'm not an outsider, so there's no need to be so polite."
"My wife is turning sixty. This is a big event. How can I not prepare a gift for her?" Han Yu thought about it and asked with a smile: "Where is the senior brother, will he and Sister Zhang Lan come?"
"He came yesterday." Xu Haoran smiled.
"You came yesterday, why didn't I know?"
"He knows you are busy and doesn't want to disturb you. I talked to him on the phone at noon, and he said they went to school to see Yuanyuan yesterday and stayed at your brother's house at night. Yuanyuan's school is not far from Zhangjiang, and Yuanyuan will come after class. By the way, your eldest brother, your sister-in-law and Xunxun will also come later."
"Big Brother and Sister Zhang Lan came to Donghai, but they didn't come to see me, but stayed at my brother's house instead?" Han Yu felt a little incredible.
Xu Haoran could understand Han Yu's feelings, and laughed: "He and you are just brothers, and he is a quasi-in-law to your brother and sister-in-law. He is closer to your brother than to you now, so of course he lives in your brother's house when he comes to Donghai!"
Han Yu asked doubtfully: "Both children have developed to this point?"
"How can you be an uncle without even knowing this!" Xu Haoran picked up the teacup, looked at him and said with a smile: "Your brother and sister-in-law are waiting for the two children to make the rice cooked, and even create conditions for it."
"Create what conditions?"
"Your brother's family has two houses in Donghai, and he renovated the unused one after the Chinese New Year. It is said that he spent more than 100,000 yuan. Xunxun has the key, and Yuanyuan also has it. Every weekend, the two of them go to Donghai to buy a house. The children all went to the new house. "
"Do senior brother and Zhang Lan know about it?"
"Maybe they didn't know at first, but they definitely know now."
"What's their attitude?"
"They'll come over later, you can ask them in person."
"How can I ask about this?"
"That's right, the children are grown up, don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask." Xu Haoran laughed, then changed the subject: "How is Hanhan now?"
"Very well," Han Yu didn't think it was shameful for her daughter to go to a technical secondary school, and smiled: "Hanhan has really grown up and is very sensible. She is excellent in both character and study at school. The head teacher called me a few days ago to praise her."
"Excellent in both character and study is a commendatory word, but it's a bit strange to use it on Hanhan.
Xu Haoran was just wondering how to continue the conversation, and Han Yu said with great excitement: "I haven't even been a study committee member before, but now I'm the class monitor. Not only does she help the teacher manage the class, but she also organizes classmates to participate in charity activities. The principal and teachers like her very much!"
Xu Haoran nodded, and asked with a smile: "How is Little Crocodile's grades?"
"It's a bit strange to say, although Little Crocodile is as playful as Hanhan before, and asking him to do homework and go to cram school is like asking his life, but he always gets good grades in every exam."
"It seems that learning really depends on talent."
"Yes, talent is very important."
"How is Siqi's grades?"
"Siqi is your sister. How is Siqi's grades? Why are you asking me?"
"I...it's not appropriate for me to ask. What if her grades are not good? My mother will definitely not be happy if I ask her."
Talking about the grades of the little junior sister, Han Yu couldn't help laughing and said: "Siqi is a bit like Hanhan. She is very sensible and active. She likes to participate in various activities. As for her academic performance, she may need to work harder."
It's over!
It seems that his half-sister will have a hard time getting into high school in the future, and Xu Haoran didn't know how to comment for a moment.
Han Yu didn't think there was anything wrong with not getting into high school, and didn't want to talk about the topic of children's academic performance anymore. He smiled and asked: "Brother Haoran, is Yang Jianbo going to be demobilized?"
"Soon, the job has been arranged."
"To which unit?"
"Binjiang Federation of Literary and Art Circles."
"Federation of Literary and Art Circles?"
"There are many demobilized cadres, and it's not easy to place them. If he hadn't made so many contributions with you, he would have made a lot of contributions to Binjiang, and it might be difficult to even get a full-time job. It's good to be demobilized to the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, at least he can be arranged as a vice chairman."
"Actual deputy director?"
"Yes," Xu Haoran confirmed with a smile: "Although he didn't take office immediately, Old Wu has already held a welcome banquet for him. You and Xiaoyu were not in your hometown, and Mingyuan didn't have time that day, so Old Wu asked me to accompany him."
"Old Wu held a banquet to welcome him?" Han Yu asked with a smile.
"Old Wu has retired to the second line and doesn't have to go to the Changhang branch to work. Anyway, there is nothing to do, so he has now turned the nominal vice chairman of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles into a resident vice chairman, and goes to the Federation of Literary and Art Circles every day like a full-time vice chairman. He is busy participating in or even hosting the activities of various associations under the Federation of Literary and Art Circles all day long, which is busier than when he was the director."
Cultural people have entered the literary and art circle, of course, like a fish in water.
Han Yu was happy for Old Wu from the bottom of his heart. After thinking about it, he asked curiously, "Where are Uncle Wang and the others?"
"He has officially retired. Now he is free from his official duties. He drinks and plays cards with Director Zhang and Wei Zhi every two or three days. It is not popular to play Upgrade now. We play Throwing Eggs instead."
"Throwing Eggs?"
"It is a bit like Striving for the Top and Upgrade. I will teach you when I have time, otherwise you will not be able to play with them when you go back to your hometown."
"What is there to learn?"
"Throwing Eggs is very popular in my hometown now. There is a saying that goes, I remember it, not throwing eggs before meals is equivalent to not eating. Not throwing eggs after meals is equivalent to eating in vain. In short, if you can't throw eggs, you will be out of place, and no one will want to play with you, hahaha."

PS: When I reach middle age, I am entangled in various household chores and trivial matters. In addition, due to physical reasons, I stopped updating some time ago. Here, I apologize to all the book friends.
Then there is the story of Salted Fish. I boasted confidently before that I would write until Salted Fish retired. I thought I could continue writing, but it turns out that there is a day when I run out of ideas. I pondered and thought hard, but I really didn't know how to continue writing, so I had to finish it in a hurry. But the story of Xianyu will not end here. I will continue to update it in the form of a sequel, and I will continue to update it.
The first chapter is here, and the second chapter will be later.
