Siheyuan: a better life

Chapter 422 Xiao Yongjun!
After finishing the call with Boss Kou, Wu Aiguo stretched out his hand to press the landline of the phone, shook the phone handle a few times vigorously, then picked up the receiver and said, "Hello! Please help me transfer to Lou's."

"Hello! This is Lou's house. Who are you looking for?" The call was connected quickly, and a girl's polite inquiry came from the phone.

When Wu Aiguo heard the voice of deja vu, he immediately guessed who was answering the phone, and then said with a smile: "Miss Lou! Hello! I'm Wu Aiguo, is your father at home? Please ask him to answer the phone."

Hearing Wu Aiguo's familiar questioning voice, Li Xiangdong immediately showed a pleasant expression on his face, and immediately said to Wu Aiguo: "Brother Aiguo! My dad is at home, please wait a moment, I will call my dad to answer the phone."

After Lou Xiaoe finished speaking, she immediately put down the microphone in her hand and ran towards the second floor.

"Dad! Brother Patriotic called you!" Lou Xiaoe quickly ran to the door of the study on the second floor and shouted to Lou Zhenhua who was sitting in the study.

After receiving the last call from Wu Aiguo, Lou Zhenhua had been preparing to leave for Xiangjiang during this period. When Lou Zhenhua heard the news Lou Xiao'e told him, he immediately realized that Wu Aiguo was calling him at this time just to go to Xiangjiang. He quickly stood up from his chair and walked quickly downstairs.

Lou Zhenhua went to the first floor to inquire, saw the telephone placed on the coffee table, reached out to pick up the phone, and greeted politely: "Director Wu! Good morning!"

When Wu Aiguo heard Lou Zhenhua's greeting on the phone, he immediately greeted: "Uncle Lou! Good morning! Regarding your trip to Xiangjiang, the above has already arranged it. I will bring Comrade Xiao Yongjun to you this evening. Let’s discuss specific matters.”

Although Lou Zhenhua is a person who has seen the world, hearing the news from Wu Aiguo at this time made him feel extremely excited, and quickly said to Wu Aiguo: "Director Wu! Then I will sweep the couch and wait! waiting for your arrival."

Wu Aiguo heard Lou Zhenhua's answer, felt the other person's breathing, and replied with a smile: "Uncle Lou! Then we'll see you in the evening!"

After Lou Zhenhua ended the call with Wu Aiguo, he put the microphone on the landline with an excited face, and quickly told his wife at the side: "Hurry up and prepare some dishes. I will treat Wu Aiguo to dinner at home tonight."

Lou Tan heard Lou Zhenhua's explanation and saw Lou Zhenhua's excited expression, and asked Lou Zhenhua happily: "Master! Is there any result to what Wu Aiguo said last time?"

When Lou Zhenhua heard Lou Tan's question, he nodded happily and replied, "Ma'am! You guessed right, the matter has come to an end. I estimate that I will leave for Xiangjiang in a day or two."

"Director Wu! A middle-aged man named Xiao Yongjun came outside and said he has something to see you." At four o'clock in the afternoon, Wu Aiguo was sitting in the office bored, using newspapers to pass the time. A young man's report came.

When Wu Aiguo heard the young man's report, he instinctively put down the newspaper in his hand, smiled and thanked: "Dahua! Thank you, I will go out and take a look now."

When Wu Aiguo came to the door of the unit, he saw a middle-aged man in his early forties wearing a Chinese tunic suit.

Seeing the unfamiliar middle-aged man in front of him, Wu Aiguo smiled and greeted him: "Hello, comrade! I assume you are Comrade Xiao Yongjun, right?"

Xiao Yongjun, who was waiting outside the gate, immediately shook hands with Wu Aiguo when he heard Wu Aiguo's words, and asked Wu Aiguo very enthusiastically: "Director Wu! Hello! According to the instructions of the superior, I made a special trip to report to you. "

When Wu Aiguo heard what Xiao Yongjun said, he smiled and said to Xiao Yongjun: "Comrade Xiao Yongjun! Please come in quickly. Let's go to my office to discuss the specific situation."

Wu Aiguo led Xiao Yongjun to his office. After he first asked Xiao Yongjun to sit down, he personally gave Xiao Yongjun a cup of tea. Then he smiled and asked Xiao Yongjun: "Comrade Xiao Yongjun! Regarding your mission to Xiangjiang this time, the higher-ups should follow Are you feeling angry?"

Xiao Yongjun nodded when he heard Wu Aiguo's question, and replied: "Director Wu! Before leaving the Ministry of Government Affairs, the leader has already told me the content of the task, but the leader asked me to follow your specific work content. Instruct to do it."

Hearing Xiao Yongjun's words, Wu Aiguo took out a file bag from the desk drawer, handed the file bag to Xiao Yongjun, and said to Xiao Yongjun: "Comrade Xiao Yongjun! Your mission to Xiangjiang is mainly to earn foreign exchange through export. Lord, you are in charge of supervision, this is the plan, please take a look first."

When Xiao Yongjun heard what Wu Aiguo said, he reached out and took the plan that Wu Aiguo handed him. Then he opened the plan and looked at it very carefully.

Ten minutes later, Xiao Yongjun closed the plan in his hand, and asked Wu Aiguo curiously: "Director Wu! There are several places in this plan that I can't understand. First, we are going to Xiangjiang to sell Rubik's Cube toys, since they are selling toys, why do we waste money to publish the news of the Rubik's Cube competition in the newspaper before selling the Rubik's Cube? Also, is the bonus you set too high?"

Wu Aiguo was not surprised when he heard Xiao Yongjun's question, he smiled and explained to Xiao Yongjun: "Whenever something new appears, the people need a process to accept this new thing. It could be days, it could be months."

"If we want Westerners to know the existence of the Rubik's Cube and like it, we must use the influence of newspapers to promote our Rubik's Cube to the Western people. As for the wall fans holding the Rubik's Cube, it is a means of promotion. "

The situation introduced by Wu Aiguo made Xiao Yongjun feel vaguely understanding. He asked Wu Aiguo with confusion on his face: "Director Wu! You just said that holding a Rubik's Cube competition is a means of promotion. I really can't think of it." Understand, what’s the connection between the two?”

Hearing Xiao Yongjun's question, Wu Aiguo thought of the various marketing methods that often appeared in later generations, and smiled and explained to Xiao Yongjun: "Comrade Xiao Yongjun! In Xiangjiang, people's monthly income is about [-] to [-] yuan. As a result, When we publish the news of holding a Rubik's Cube competition in the newspaper, people who read the content will be instinctively curious about what the Rubik's Cube is?"

"The other thing is the high bonus. If it were you, and you learned that participating in a competition, you can get a bonus equivalent to one or two years' income. Would you like to participate?"

Xiao Yongjun heard Wu Aiguo's introduction and replied without thinking: "If there is such an opportunity, I would also like to give it a try. After all, there is no need to pay any price if you lose, and you will get a huge bonus if you win." .”
