The big era starts in 1983

Chapter 8 Saying Goodbye to Peace

Bai Hao asked for clothes, and when the waiter of Baiyun Hotel was about to leave, Jeff Haas said, "I invited some lawyers from Xiangjiang to come over, please save me a room for two people, and I will arrive around noon tomorrow."

After the guest room manager left, Bai Hao said to Jeff Haas: "The next thing is to wait, until the Deputy Director of Purchasing Department of Flexis is really as you guessed."

Jeff Haas looked confident: "I can spend a tip to inquire about him, and I believe he will too."

"En. Rest, take a good rest."

"What's in your other wooden box?"

"Surprise, before I show you the surprise, I still need to make some preparations. I think there are some materials in Yangcheng, maybe this hotel has it, because they have a western restaurant."

Jeff Haas nodded: "Okay, see you tomorrow." Jeff Haas is really a little tired.Xia Guo's reception group was too enthusiastic and introduced a lot of products. When Jeff Haas returned to the hotel just now, he felt his brain was numb.

Bai Hao also returned to his room.

The room is expensive, the suite on the top floor is even more expensive, and only foreign exchange certificates and foreign currency are accepted.

Pay with US dollars, the suite is 18 yuan a night.Bai Hao heard that it was only five yuan when it opened, which was still Xia Guobi, and the breakfast voucher was only fifty cents, but now it costs one yuan and two.

From Bai Hao's point of view, the facilities in the room are at most three stars before his rebirth, which is barely a better three stars, after all, this is a suite.

Picking up the phone on the desk in the suite, Bai Hao walked to the balcony.

This is the top floor, and the night view of Yangcheng can be seen from the balcony.

Bai Hao calmed himself down, took a sip of tea and picked up the phone. It was time to call home. He was away from home, so he didn't know if his adoptive father Zhang Jianguo was worried.

Before Bai Hao went out, Zhang Jianguo told Bai Hao that in case of any urgent matter, he could send a telegram back.

If it is urgent, find a way to make a long-distance call.

One is the phone in the factory, and the other is the phone of the waterworks not far from the welfare zone.

Bai Hao picked up the phone and suddenly didn't know how to make a call.

Because Zhang Jianguo didn't tell him his phone number, he just looked for these two places.

In desperation, Bai Hao called the hotel reception.

Before his rebirth, Bai Hao had never made such an extremely complicated long-distance call. Under the guidance of the front desk, Bai Hao began to try.

"Is it the Yangcheng long-distance station?"

"Yes, you want there."

Bai Hao was very new to this purely manual way of long-distance calls, and Bai Hao said again: "I want the western suburbs of Jingzhao City, Qinzhou Province..." Bai Hao reported the name of the factory, but who would want to ask the long-distance call station very much? Details: "Who are you looking for, where are you?"

Bai Hao could only answer: "I'm looking for Zhang Jianguo. The place I called is Room 3302 of Baiyun Hotel in Yangcheng. My name is Bai Hao, and I'm Zhang Jianguo's son."

The little girl from the long-distance station was very serious, and asked again: "Is it Gong Changzhang? Jianguo is the Jianguo that builds the country?"

"Yep."

It took 2 minutes for manual transfer to connect.However, the little girl on the long-distance station told Bai Hao enthusiastically that the money would only be counted after the connection was made, two yuan per minute.

Two dollars! ! !
Two yuan can be exchanged for a basket of biscuits.

This price shocked Bai Hao, no wonder his adoptive father Zhang Jianguo said before he left the house that if there was an emergency, he would send a telegram and make a long-distance call if it was urgent.

On the other end of the phone, after returning home to cook for the four children, Zhang Jianguo returned to the factory with a thought in mind. He came to study how to do the work of repairing and processing the newly received parts, and how to assign them to the factory. groups in .Secondly, I thought in my heart that if something happened to Bai Hao, if it was really urgent, if I called, I would be able to answer it right away.

The little girl on the long-distance station asked clearly, and only after confirming that Zhang Jianguo was the person Bai Hao was looking for did she connect the phone.

"Dad." Bai Hao just called out.

But Zhang Jianguo became nervous: "You, everything is okay."

But Bai Hao smiled: "Dad, you didn't hear the girl on the long-distance channel tell you that this call is from Baiyun Hotel. I live on the top floor and it costs 18 US dollars a night. During the autumn fair, only foreign exchange certificates and US dollars are accepted." Dao, don’t accept Xia Guobi. Dad, I’ll take care of the 700 yuan.”

"Huh!" Zhang Jianguo let out a long breath: "Just solve it. You live in such an expensive place as the Baiyun Hotel. Where did you get the money for eighteen dollars?"

"The patent was sold, not all of it was sold, and half of it was sold for 5000 dollars. Dad, you are also angry, and don't scold me for wasting money. I am a merchant in a beautiful country and do big business. I can't live in it for two cents. Even the merchants in the beautiful country will look down on me if I buy a late Datong shop, so this money must be spent."

Zhang Jianguo didn't quite understand, but what Bai Hao said seemed to make sense.I didn't pursue it any further.

Bai Hao continued: "Dad, there is good news. I estimate that there can be an order of [-] units for the toaster. It may be urgent. It will be manufactured in a month and shipped to the beautiful country. Can it be done?"

"Well, let me think about it." Zhang Jianguo replied after serious thinking: "If it is [-] units, then the shell can be molded, and it can be formed by stamping once and then trimmed by hand. It is no problem to wind the heating wire by hand, and the small frying pan I think I can share some money with Uncle Bear’s factory, if the people in the beautiful country pay a lot of money, it will be molded with die-cast aluminum alloy and then coated, so it will be fast and good.”

"Dad, is it possible to receive [-] units?"

Zhang Jianguo answered after thinking over and over: "Yes, I can finish it in a month."

"Then we're adding waffle irons, an order of about [-] units."

"Yes, you can work together with your Uncle Bear's factory. I estimate that if you add another [-]%, you can work in a month. If it is doubled, it is also possible to arrange people to pay bonuses to work overtime."

Bai Hao probably knew it well, and he also knew the limit production capacity of the small factory run by his adoptive father Zhang Jianguo.

"Dad, if you need anything, call the Baiyun Hotel in Yangcheng. If the factory wants to charge you for long-distance calls, you can tell the long-distance station that I will pay for it. I just asked, and it's okay."

"Take care of yourself, don't..." Zhang Jianguo just wanted to say don't save money, as the old saying goes, poor families get rich.But thinking about it again, Bai Hao can spend money to stay in a hotel at 18 dollars a night, so don't save money, he can't say that, so he changed his words and said: "Don't waste money, save some money for your sister to buy a decent dress , I am a 17-year-old girl, and I don’t have many good clothes.”

"Yes, by the way, Dad, I'll buy you some Zhonghua cigarettes."

"Hang up, the long-distance fee must be very expensive." Zhang Jianguo hung up the phone without waiting for Bai Hao's reaction.

Five thousand units.

There was a gleam of joy on Zhang Jianguo's face, and he borrowed a bicycle from the factory, and he wanted to talk to Hao Tai.
