Chapter Twenty-Four: Unexpected

  Gao Donglei was taken aback at first, then burst out with joy: "Yes! Comrade Nan Xun, I will arrange it as soon as possible!"

  On the other end of the phone call, Comrade Nan Xun, after hanging up the phone, an old man in his eighties wearing a grey Zhongshan suit next to him said with some dissatisfaction.

  "Comrades on the Southern Tour, although we are currently short of foreign exchange, isn't it making a big deal out of something small to meet with them because of this?"

  Nan Xun comrades heard the words couldn't help but smile, the white eyebrows on his forehead slightly trembled and said: "Jian Hai comrade, I want to see them not just because of foreign exchange. But I saw another way of development..."

  Nan Xun comrade handed a report to Jian Hai comrade, smiling and saying: "This is an investigation report. Recently they came to the Imperial Capital. I had someone go take a look at what they were doing, and recently their movements made me see something that was slightly different."

  "That young Comrade Liang has a lot of ideas, and for the time being, his approach hasn't violated our country's interests." After a pause, the old man continued with a smile: "I'd very much like to meet such a young person, meet such an interesting young person!"

  Li Sanping did not know that he had already been targeted. He didn't even know that the person targeting him was no ordinary figure. If it were after the reform had become clear and bright, Comrade Nanxun would not have noticed Li Sanping.

  But at this time, Liang Sanping as a target is too obvious.

  Li Sanping himself did not notice that his way of doing things was completely different from this era, whether it was his attitude towards business or his attitude towards foreigners.

  Completely different from the way they deal with people nowadays. Neither arrogant nor humble, with a hint of hostility and caution. But at the same time, when interacting, they appear straightforward and generous, and when angry, they still slam their fists on the table and scold.

  This approach is extremely rare among people of all levels today. So when the top leader was investigating this report, he easily noticed this guy who was different from others.

  "Haha... I really didn't expect this little guy to have learned Li Hongzhang's trick of 'using barbarians to control barbarians'! Comrade Nanxun, don't say that this move is quite useful!"

  But then Jianhai Lao comrade burst out laughing, and slammed the file shut: "This Nelson is clearly being ostracized and oppressed. And his American identity can indeed make him popular in Japan. The Japanese are now worshipping American devils like ancestors!"

  "Nelson is also the formal manager of Carlon Agricultural Machinery Company, with these two identities he can easily break into the Japanese agricultural products market that we find difficult to enter! Can't see it, this is called Liang Sanping's young and cunning move!"

  "This is a very interesting young man! We can take a look at what he can do." However, Comrade Nanxun paused and said: "Now some of our comrades are not open-minded enough. Since the young people are willing to take risks, we should help them block some wind and rain..."

  Jian Hai comrade nodded and put down the report, saying: "Hmm... Comrade Nan Xun's words make sense, but I think directly letting them report to us might scare them. In that case, they will be even more hesitant, it's better to let Dong Lei comrade contact them."

  "On the one hand, tell them that we already know about these things. Tell them that it's okay to take action, but don't overdo it." However, Jianhai comrade paused for a moment and said: "Young people having the courage to take risks is good, but also reckless. A fierce cow always needs to be tied with a rope."

  As soon as he finished speaking, Nan Xun's comrades burst out laughing.

  "I'm just afraid that if we tie them up, they won't dare to run away! However, Comrade Jianhai's words also make sense. When we see them, all we can do is let them be tied up. It's better not to see them at all."

  After a pause, the old man picked up his pen and wrote on the report: No restriction, no promotion.

  After writing down these six words, the old man seemed still not satisfied. Holding his pen, he wrote again: Can report directly, cannot easily interfere directly.

  Jian Hai comrade looked at Nan Xun comrade's instructions and couldn't help but sigh! This little Liang guy has indeed had a stroke of good luck, with this instruction, basically no one will dare to bother him easily.

  The annotation of such documents is actually very particular. Every word and phrase can be interpreted to reveal the annotator's attitude and perspective. Now, during this period of heated debate over reform, the sudden appearance of this small note has added a new path to the already contentious reform efforts.

  At this time, the old man who dominated the entire domain valued more what kind of consequences Liang Sanping's actions would bring. If it was good, then he would encourage him to develop on his own.

  If it's bad, then cut off the sprout and bury it directly. In this sense, Liang Sanping unknowingly stood at the forefront of the storm.

  Whether it is to support reform or advocate for gradual reform, they will all be watching him. Then, the attitude of the old man in the highest position, whether he rises to power or falls into an ice cave, depends on the fate of Liang Sanping.

  "It was a pleasure working with you!" Xia Zhendong smiled and shook hands with Nelson, who had flown from the capital to Hong Kong and then on to Japan just for the past week to inspect Japan's agricultural product market.

  The survey results were extremely satisfactory, as stated in the report provided by Xia Zhendong and others. Japan is self-sufficient in agricultural products at a rate of 99%, and even large-scale vegetable cultivation has been laid out.

  But in some months their vegetable supply will be in short, and this second largest vegetable consuming country in the world cannot afford a month without vegetables.

  At this time, Japan will import a large number of vegetables from outside to fill the domestic gap. Nelson registered an agricultural products company in the United States at the fastest speed and then brought the documents directly to Shanghai.

  Hired a lawyer from Xiangjiang for justice, and then went directly to the Imperial Capital to sign a contract with Xia Zhendong.

  Nelson is a clever man, he knows that he may not be able to fool Xia Zhendong and others. If he makes a mess with the shares, that cunning Liang Sanping may see through it.

  But when others cooperate with you, it's not just about yourself. If you act recklessly, they might give up on signing a contract, and the one who suffers will be none other than yourself.

  "It was a pleasure working together!" Although the week's rush had left Nelson very tired, the results of the investigation had filled him with confidence. The sea route from Quemoy to Japan was shorter than he thought.

  The cost is also lower. As long as the vegetables on Jeju Island can be grown, Nelson is confident that he can sell them in Japan!

  As for the cultivation of vegetables, Nelson is not worried at all. His cooperative partner is the Institute of Tropical Crops Research, and if they can't promote large-scale vegetable cultivation on the island, then no one can.

  "Mr. Xia, I have already applied to the headquarters for a trip to Qiong Island to take charge of our cooperation between the two companies. At the same time, I am also in charge of sales and after-sales service in the Asia-Pacific region, so we will have many opportunities to cooperate in the future..."

  Nelson smiled and said, Nelson settled the matter satisfactorily for Karl. Now, sales in the Asia-Pacific region are actually very low, and Karl is also a compensation for Nelson's efforts this time.

  Let him be in charge of sales and after-sales service in the Asia-Pacific region, equivalent to the general manager of KAL in the Asia-Pacific region. However, the head office did not dispatch anyone to this region, anyway, everyone needs to recruit by themselves.

  "Yes! It seems that the areas where we can cooperate are increasing!" Xia Zhendong said with a smile, and his heart was filled with joy. Nelson is now considered "one of us", which means that if he were to get agricultural machinery, he could get it at an even lower price from him.

  Just put the label "Exported Japanese Vegetables" and Nelson would consider more of a partnership between the two. As for Karl's agricultural machinery, what does it have to do with Nelson no matter how much he earns?

  Nelson's first concern must be his income from the vegetable business.

  "I will first set up a branch office in Tokyo, and then I will lead our staff to go to Kyushu. As for the machinery, you need to personally go to Yangcheng in northern Guangdong to receive it."

  After the handshake, Nelson said directly. Xia Zhendong nodded: "According to the time, we will stay in the Imperial Capital for two days. Then go to Yangcheng, and report directly to the Guangdong North Farming Bureau. At that time, we will transport the heat fog machine back and wait for your arrival at Qiongzhoukou..."

  This was Liang Sanping's English after being coerced by Xia Zhendong. Now it has finally reached the level where basic conversations can be conducted, and ordinary conversations can also be understood.

  Of course, when it comes to some business or professional terms, he still doesn't understand. If he had to have a direct conversation with Nelson, all he could do was stutter and say a bunch of words without any grammar.

  The contract was signed, and Nelson invited Xia Zhendong and Liu Lao to join him in a banquet he had arranged to celebrate. After confirming the Japanese vegetable market, Nelson's mood became extremely relaxed.

  Even Hall, who had always been detestable in his eyes, became incredibly lovely.

  A sumptuous banquet, the host and guests were having a great time. After Nelson had a few drinks, he got drunk and went back to his hotel to sleep. Liang Sanping and Xia Zhendong returned to their guesthouse.

  "Lao Xia, something doesn't feel right about this!" After returning to the dormitory and settling in the tired teachers, Liang Sanping found Xia Zhendong to talk about today's matter.

  "We found Minister Dong Lei's report too smooth, even the Foreign Affairs Department gave us special approval. This situation..."

  Liang Sanping didn't finish speaking when Xia Zhendong chimed in, "I also find it strange. I thought this matter would at least drag on for several months! We were all prepared for a long-term battle, but it turned out to be so smooth..."

  "I actually thought of going around in circles, but I didn't expect that we could get this done directly." However, Liang Sanping said with embarrassment: "At first, I considered registering a company in Xiangjiang and cooperating with Nelson. Then transfer to the cooperation project between the two hospitals."

  "I just didn't expect it to be approved by the department so smoothly..."

  =======================

  Today, I accidentally strained my waist... it still hurts now. I forced myself to move from the bedside to the computer desk to type. Cold sweat is pouring down my forehead, how frustrating! The crucial part of the new book, but I encountered this and was left speechless.

  A friend said the new book period is about to pass, hoping I can rush into the new book chart and say something good about the book. So Super asks all book-loving friends, if you think Super's writing is okay, please vote for it and promote it a bit. Thank you! Thank you!
