Chapter 174: Showing off【Please subscribe】

Zhuang Yong drove the car, and Li Yunhai sat in the passenger seat.

Chisato Akino and his two accomplices were sitting in the back seats.

Zhuang Yong and Li Yunhai looked at each other, and Li Yunhai nodded slightly.

Chisato Akino, who was sitting in the back, didn't feel anything was wrong with the car's route yet, and was chatting and laughing with his two accomplices.

The car suddenly stopped. Li Yunhai and Zhuang Yong got out of the car one after another and opened the rear door.

Akino Qianri and the other three got out of the car and realized something was wrong. They pointed at the hospital and said, "Mr. Li, this is the hospital, we are going to the lake! You are driving to the wrong place."

Li Yunhai said in a deep voice: "No, we did not come to the wrong place. Qiuye, the woman who was hurt by you last night is hospitalized here. Don't you want to visit her?"

Yuezhou is not a big city, and it only takes 10 minutes to drive from Yunmeng Hotel to the hospital.

Qiuye Qianli's expression changed, and then she realized where Li Yunhai had brought them.

In their eyes, the Chinese have to flatter them and cannot be disadvantageous to them.

Since the reopening, friendship shops and foreign-related hotels have been built in various places.

The earliest Friendship Store in China opened in Shanghai in 1958.

The Friendship Store in Xizhou has also been opened for a long time. It was once a high-end shopping place in Xizhou, and there were strict requirements for recruiting salespersons there.At that time, many hot-selling products on the market were available in Youyi Store.There is also a threshold for going to the store to make purchases. It is only open to foreign guests, and ordinary people can only look at each other through the window.

The "General Provisions" of the charter of friendship stores across the country stipulates that only foreigners and foreign citizens can enter to buy things.

From the day it was born, the Friendship Store has been positioned to receive foreign guests. You must present your passport, overseas Chinese ID card or foreign work permit to enter, and you must present an overseas Chinese voucher to buy things.

Ordinary citizens could only stop and look. To be precise, they couldn't look at anything, because the Friendship Store at that time not only had a set of steps at the door, but also had an iron fence erected outside the door, reflecting its unusual threshold.

The iron fence separates two commodity worlds.In the years when supplies were in short supply, even people living in Beijin had to queue up with tickets to buy food, clothing, cabbage and toffee.

In the Friendship Store, there are a lot of in-demand products that are hard to find in the market: canned goods from Merlin, Western pastries from Cheeseline, double-sided embroidery from Sioux City, brocades from Hangzhou, cashmere sweaters from Beijin Xuelian, and bicycles that are eagerly desired by the Chinese people. , watches... and imported home appliances, whiskey, Marlboro, etc. are the exclusive products here.

The management of this kind of store is very strict. At the Huacheng Friendship Store, there was an employee who had transferred to another place. Because his old boss came to visit him, he led his old boss around the store. As a result, he was severely criticized by the store leader. pause.

That old boss was still a serving division leader.

Special stores for foreign guests have made visiting Friendship Stores a status symbol, but the practice of artificially setting up commercial restricted areas and denying entry to Chinese people has also aroused many opinions.

In September 1980, "Beijin Daily" published an article: The "Foreign Guests and Overseas Chinese Only" sign should be removed. The article wrote:
"If it is open to the public, how can we ensure the supply of goods?" This is indeed a problem.Some commodities are still in short supply in our country and cannot be openly supplied in the market.But how can we deprive the masses of their right to go in, take a look, and buy things that are not in short supply?In fact, as long as we do a good job in publicity and explanation and give appropriate care to foreign guests for a few commodities that are in short supply, most people will be able to understand.

It is these artificial class barriers that make foreigners think they are superior, and also make some weak-minded Chinese feel inferior.

At this moment, Chisato Akino and others felt like this.They thought that Li Yunhai did not dare to do anything to them.

Akino Qianri looked displeased, with a gloomy face, and said arrogantly: "What do you want to do? Don't forget, we are foreigners!"

Li Yunhai smiled coldly: "Mr. Akino, please don't be afraid, I won't kill you. I just want you to apologize to the injured waitress!"

Qiuye Qianli glared angrily and turned around to leave.

Li Yunhai and Zhuang Yong blocked the retreat of Qiu Ye Qianli and stretched out their hands at the same time:
"Please, Mr. Akino!"

Chisato Akino shouted in anger.

Li Yunhai punched him so hard on the chin that his mouth was crooked.

This punch contained all of Li Yunhai's hatred and anger!The power in the fist can be imagined.

Qiuye Qianli was unsteady on his feet, staggered back, stretched out his hand to wipe the blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, and looked at Li Yunhai in shock.

He couldn't believe that Li Yunhai actually dared to hit him!

However, Li Yunhai hit him immediately!
Akino Chisato can't even take him!
He wanted to fight back, but when he saw Li Yunhai's tall figure and those cannibal eyes, he couldn't help but become afraid, and he didn't even dare to think of fighting back.After all, a good man never suffers any loss before his eyes!
They were the ones who took the blame first. Even if they went to the police station, Li Yunhai was not afraid of them. If he really wanted to break this matter out, Qiuye and the others would not be able to live with it!
Yunmeng Hotel is a hotel that receives foreign guests. In order to maintain the reputation of the hotel and protect his own job, the manager does not dare to make a big deal out of the matter, so he prefers these foreigners.

But things really got serious, and Li Yunhai had plenty of ways to deal with these three guys, Qiu Ye.

The two Asians, one fat and one thin, shouted and stretched out their hands to push Li Yunhai and Zhuang Yong.

Unexpectedly, Li Yunhai and Zhuang Yong remained motionless.

Zhuang Yong took the fat man's hand and squeezed it hard, causing the fat man to scream in pain.He raised his leg again and kicked the opponent's knee. The fat man felt the pain, bent his leg forward, and knelt down.

Li Yunhai stretched out his hand and put it on the thin man's shoulder, but his fingers jammed the other man's throat, making him unable to breathe. Then, with a stern look on his face, he shouted in a deep voice: "If you don't drink a toast, you'll have to drink as a penalty! Let's go!"

Seeing how powerful Li Yunhai and the others were, Qiuye Qianli was horrified. He rolled his little eyes and said, "Mr. Li, don't do anything. Isn't this just an apology? Let's go right now!"

Li Yunhai snorted coldly: "He who knows the current affairs is a hero! Let's go!"

Chisato Akino said to his two accomplices: "Listen to them first, and then get away."

They thought Li Yunhai and Zhuang Yong couldn't understand Japanese!

Li Yunhai took them into the hospital and went to the front desk to ask which ward Xiao Juan from Yunmeng Hotel lived in.

Then he escorted Akino Qianri and the three of them straight to the ward.

Xiao Juan committed suicide by slitting her wrists, but was saved by her colleagues. She is now lying in the ward receiving infusions.

Her face was extremely pale, as if there was no blood at all.There is no one around to take care of me.

Seeing Li Yunhai walking in, Xiao Juan exclaimed: "It's you! Why are you here?"

Immediately, she saw the three Japanese people, and she couldn't help but frown, feeling so sick that she felt like vomiting.

Li Yunhai said in a deep voice: "Comrade Xiao Juan, I will bring them over and ask them to apologize to you. Qiuye, aren't you usually very polite? Now you know what to do? Do you want to bow down to your Japanese behavior?" Show me the etiquette, the etiquette of kneeling, the etiquette of apologizing! I don’t care if you are sincere or not, as long as I see you do it!”

Qiu Ye Qianli's face was livid, but he had an arrow on his string and had to fire it. He couldn't hit or escape, so he might as well be a bachelor and put on a good show, so that he could escape and solve the trouble.

So, Akino took the lead, and the three of them bowed to Xiao Juan on the hospital bed, and said in blunt Chinese: "I'm sorry, we drank too much last night and did something harmful to you. We deeply express our deep regret for this." I apologize and ask for your forgiveness."

Li Yunhai kicked him: "Is there only a verbal apology? You can't compensate her for 100 million yuan for the harm she suffered!"

Akino Qianri's expression changed, and she said calmly: "We didn't bring so much money."

Seeing that Li Yunhai looked unhappy, he quickly took out a wad of banknotes and placed them on Xiao Juan's bedside without reminding him.

The other two Japs also took out the money from their pockets and placed them next to Xiao Juan.

The total compensation for the three people should be between 3000 and [-] yuan.

Akino Qianri said with a smile: "Mr. Li, can we go?"

Li Yunhai waved his hand: "Let's go! Remember, don't bully others on our land in the future!"

Qiu Ye felt like he was being amnesty for thousands of miles, so he turned around and ran out.

Li Yunhai walked up to Xiao Juan, put all the money in her hand, and said slowly: "This is the money they compensated you. It is what you deserve, so just accept it!"

Xiao Juan held such a large pile of money and couldn't help but burst into tears: "Thank you, you are a good person."

Li Yunhai thought for a moment, took out a business card, put it in her hand, and said, "If you can't survive in Yuezhou, come to Xizhou and find me. I can arrange a job for you."

Xiao Juan glanced at the business card and a smile flashed at the corner of her mouth: "Mr. Li, you are the manager of Sihai Store!"

Li Yunhai said yes, I am the manager of Sihai Store. Do you know me?
Xiao Juan said that I heard my uncle mention you. My uncle works in Baling Paper Factory. All the office equipment for their factory is purchased from your store!
Li Yunhai was stunned, thinking that this world is so small!

After chatting for a few words, Li Yunhai and Zhuang Yong said goodbye and left.

Zhuang Yong felt that the beating just now was not satisfying at all, so he asked Li Yunhai: "Manager Li, are you just going to let those three devils go like this? I still want to punish them severely!"

Li Yunhai raised his head and looked at the sky, and said leisurely: "Good deeds and evil deeds will be rewarded in the end! Let's see who God will spare. Those who do many evil deeds will be accepted. Let's go!"

They started from Yuezhou, went to Yizhou, and then to Dezhou.

I went to several places, handed out dozens of business cards, and wasted several tons of saliva, but still no order was negotiated.

People from these prefecture-level cities all said that they have heard of Sihai Store, and if they have purchasing needs in the future, they will come to you for cooperation.Although he got nothing, Li Yunhai was not discouraged. Orders are not easy to get.

Especially for a purchase order from a government agency like this, how could it be possible to get it through just a casual negotiation?
He can only hope that the seeds planted today will sprout and bear fruit one day.

Li Yunhai's last stop was the Meishan area, which is also his hometown.

This morning, Li Yunhai and Zhuang Yong drove to the city.

Although Li Yunhai is from the Meishan area, he rarely comes to the city.

He was not even familiar with the provincial capital here.

The two made some inquiries first, bought a city traffic map, and then visited the government agencies one by one.

The education in Meishan area is relatively developed, but the industry is relatively backward.

This is also the reason why Li Yunhai is unwilling to come here to sell machines, because he is too poor.

Li Yunhai came to the regional administrative office.

He took out his work permit from the Bureau of Commerce and explained that he was here to collect relevant information.

The guard checked him in and let him go, saluting him.

Li Yunhai walked up the high steps to the office building.

Zhuang Yong followed him and said, "Do the steps need to be so high?"

Li Yunhai turned around, glanced at the long steps, and said: "This is called rising step by step. The ancients paid attention to promotion. This set of ideas has also been inherited. Therefore, the steps of many political offices will be very high. .”

Zhuang Yong chuckled: "I think what someone said makes sense. Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. Once the water floods, no matter how high the steps are, it won't work. So many emperors in ancient times didn't know how to change the boat. How many dynasties have passed!"

Li Yunhai glanced at him and said with a smile: "I didn't realize it, but you are quite knowledgeable. The Great Wall is still there today, but Qin Shihuang is nowhere to be seen! That's the truth!"

The two walked into the lobby and took the stairs to the second floor.

Li Yunhai came to the door of an office, knocked on the door, and asked politely: "Hello, comrade, where is Commissioner Zhao's office?"

A gay man who was working inside raised his head and asked, "Who are you? Do you have anything to do with the commissioner?"

Li Yunhai showed his work ID and said with a smile: "I am the section chief of the Information Section of the Provincial Bureau of Commerce. My name is Li Yunhai. This is my ID. We are here to collect information on the popularity of office equipment."

When he said this, the other party immediately became more polite, stood up, walked out, and personally pointed out the location of Commissioner Zhao's office.

Li Yunhai said thank you, then went to the third floor, found Commissioner Zhao's office, and knocked on the door of the secretary's room.

The people in the secretarial room saw him and asked who you were and what happened?

Li Yunhai smiled and said his intention.

This secretary was a bit too ambitious. When Li Yunhai said he was just a small section chief, he didn't take it seriously.

Although you are from the province, your level is not high!
The secretary of the regional commissioner usually also serves as the section chief of the office secretarial section. The level is either a full department or deputy county level, depending on how long he has followed the leader.

If you follow him for several years, you will gain the trust of the leader and become his confidant.Then the leaders will arrange for the secretary to be promoted to the deputy county level, and then he will be the deputy county magistrate, or even the county magistrate directly.

Therefore, this secretary is at least a section chief, on the same level as Li Yunhai.

There is a saying that goes well, if a secretary doesn’t have a belt, he won’t fart loudly.

But the secretary of the district commissioner is no ordinary secretary.

In the Meishan area, this three-acre land is quite impressive!
People who want to curry favor with him have to queue up!
Li Yunhai didn't bother with him. He walked in and asked him with a smile, when will the leader have time?

The secretary slowly picked up the cup, took a sip of water, and said slowly: "What's the rush? Do you have an appointment?"

Li Yunhai said that we came directly without making an appointment.Also, are your specialists so busy?Can’t even squeeze in 10 minutes of reception time?We have been to so many prefecture-level cities and seen so many local officials, but we have never seen them so busy with everything.

The secretary raised his eyelids slightly and snorted coldly: "What do you know? Can city and city be the same? How many cities and counties are in charge of an area as big as ours? Do you know?"

Li Yunhai didn't want to argue with him, so he took out a cigarette, handed one over, and asked with a smile: "Can you please inform me when Commissioner Zhao will be free?"

The secretary waved his hand lazily, saying that I don't smoke, and then said: "Just wait! The leader is inconvenient right now and is waiting for guests!"

Li Yunhai had no choice but to put away his cigarette and sat down next to him.

After about 10 minutes, the door inside creaked open.

A big ass exits the door.

Then he saw his body.

After closing the door, the man turned around, the smile on his face not diminishing at all.

When Li Yunhai saw him, he smiled and said, "Leader Shao!"

This person is none other than Shao Yuqing!
Shao Yuqing exclaimed, walked over quickly, held Li Yunhai's hand, and said with a smile: "Comrade Li Yunhai, nice to meet you, nice to meet you! I didn't expect us to meet here again!"

Li Yunhai shook the other person's hand vigorously and asked, "What are you doing in the city?"

Shao Yuqing said he came to report some work.

Li Yunhai thought to himself, normally, township cadres only report their work to the county. What matters require them to come to the city?
But Li Yunhai didn't think too much about it. Even if Shao Yuqing came here to build relationships, there was nothing wrong with him. He was also pursuing progress.

Shao Yuqing asked Li Yunhai what he was doing.

Li Yunhai did not hide it, saying that he came down to collect relevant information on behalf of the Information Section of the Commerce Bureau.

Only then did Shao Yuqing find out that Li Yunhai actually also served as the information section chief of the Commerce Bureau!
Good guy!
This Li Yunhai is amazing!

The president of the Provincial Personal Association and the section chief of the Information Section of the Commerce Bureau!

No wonder he has so much energy in the provincial capital!

Shao Yuqing didn't leave. He held Li Yunhai's hand and chatted about home affairs.

"After I returned home from the provincial capital last time, I made a special trip to Shiban Village to visit your father. Although Shiban Village is not an extremely poor village, it is not considered rich either. Comrade Deming and I discussed whether we could find a way to Let the village become wealthy as soon as possible. Comrade Deming provided a lot of constructive suggestions!"

Li Yunhai thought to himself, what constructive advice can my father provide on how to get rich?

At this time, the commissioner's secretary finished asking for instructions inside and came out and said: "Chief Li, the leader invites you to come in."

Li Yunhai smiled at Shao Yuqing and said, "That's it for now. I'll go see the leader first."

Shao Yuqing said hello and did not leave. Instead, he sat down and waited outside. Obviously he wanted to chat more with Li Yunhai.

Li Yunhai entered the commissioner's office and exchanged cigarettes.

Commissioner Zhao is very dignified and thin, with extremely large and baggy bags under his eyes, making his eyes look like copper bells.

He lowered his head and wrote something on the material, turning a blind eye to the cigarette that Li Yunhai handed over.

The secretary had already reported to him just now, and he knew the rank of the person coming.

In front of the small section chief, he, a regional commissioner, can indeed put on a show.

Li Yunhai wasn't angry either. He put the cigarette on his desk, then took a step back and sat down on his own.

Commissioner Zhao glanced at Li Yunhai from the corner of his eye.

Li Yunhai felt it, and nodded slightly at the other party with a smile: "Commissioner Zhao, you are busy first. I have plenty of time."

Commissioner Zhao didn't say anything, but he had a different understanding of Li Yunhai, who looked young but was actually experienced and calm.

　Second, ask for a monthly ticket!
