Chapter 10 Standing upwind
The first enterprise restructuring at the end of the 80s was to separate government from enterprises, management from management, and reform state-owned companies that were originally directly under government departments into joint-stock systems and specialization.In the early 90s, we began to take drastic measures to directly close down and transfer state-owned enterprises with poor profitability.

Fang Guofei took advantage of this gust of wind and merged a foreign trade company affiliated with the Provincial Foreign Economic and Trade Commission, leaving some people in the documentation and financial logistics departments. He paid more than 100 million for other personnel and let them buy out their seniority and leave. .

Fang Guofei obtained the company's six-story office building on Qingchun Road, together with the yard and a bungalow warehouse in the yard, totaling more than 20 acres of land.

When he merged this company, everyone thought he was a fool. After all, more than 100 million was a huge sum of money at the time, and the land and houses were not valuable, and no one had realized their potential value.

Only Fang Guofei himself knew that his real purpose of buying this place was to realize his own dream.This place is not far from the Provincial Textile Import and Export Company on Zhonghe Road. Standing upstairs and opening the window, you can look at each other.

The sixteenth floor of the Provincial Textile Building was already standing out from the crowd on both sides of Zhonghe Road.

After Fang Guofei owned the building on Qingchun Road, he revealed his plan. He wanted to build a 32-story house here, which was twice as tall as the Provincial Textile Building and comparable to the tallest building in Hangzhou at the time. Hangzhou Tower.

Everyone who heard Fang Guofei's idea was shocked. At this time, everyone no longer thought that Fang Guofei was a fool, but a madman.Even Xu Ailian's father slammed the table at him and scolded him for being bold and ignorant of the heights of the world.

But no one can stop what Fang Guofei believes.

Of course Fang Guofei didn't have the capital to build a 32-story building, but he had an idea.At that time, large-scale urbanization and infrastructure investment had not yet begun. All the construction companies in Hangzhou, from the provincial first construction, second construction, and third construction, to the municipal first construction, second construction, and third construction, had no work to do. In addition, there were Many small construction companies from Dongyang poured into Hangzhou to compete with them for food.

Fang Guofei's project has naturally become a hot topic in the eyes of construction companies.

Fang Guofei was looking for something to live in. Finally, he made an agreement with the Provincial First Construction Company, and they would advance the financing for the construction.

When the construction of this building started, it happened to catch up with the renovation of Qingchun Road in Hangzhou City, and the construction of the Qingchun Overpass also started.

By the time his building was completed in [-], the Qingchun Overpass was also completed, and Qingchun Road became the main thoroughfare connecting West Lake and the eastern part of Hangzhou.

Not only that, Hangzhou City also positioned Qingchun Road as a financial street. Fang Guofei's new building happened to be in the prime location of the renovated Qingchun Road. There was immediately a foreign-funded bank and a domestic-funded joint-stock bank, and Fang Guofei was approached. , they split the podium of his building into two and turned it into their Hangzhou branch.

At the same time, real estate in Hangzhou is also beginning to move.After the old man’s southern tour, everyone’s enthusiasm for starting a business was also rising. New companies were springing up, and the demand for leasing office buildings was booming. At that time, the number of office buildings in Hangzhou was very small.

Except for Fang Guofei, who reserved one floor for his foreign trade company, the rest of the office buildings were snapped up.

The proud Fang Guofei stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of his office in his new building with his hands behind his back. Looking at the Provincial Textile Building that he had stepped on, he felt like he was dreaming. He couldn't explain clearly. How did it happen? It feels like the change is too fast.

Fang Guofei merged with the foreign trade company on Qingchun Road, and his company expanded to more than 100 people. It can be regarded as the largest private foreign trade company in Hangzhou besides large state-owned foreign trade companies such as Minmetals, Zhongda and Provincial Textile.

After that, Fang Guofei rarely visited the factory in person. He spent more time in Hangzhou than when he went to other places.

But Fang Guofei had less time to go home than before.He told Xu Ailian that he was too busy now. He had to be busy with the company and the construction site of the building. He wished he could split it into two people, and he really didn't have time to go home.His time every day is fragmented. Whenever he has some free time, he will lie on the sofa in the office for a while.

It is indeed common for those who work in foreign trade to work overtime. Here at midnight, it is noon in the United States and afternoon in Europe.The seller always has to negotiate the buyer's time, and Fang Guofei needs to contact the foreigners on the phone, or fax them over, and work until two or three in the morning every day, which is normal.

But on Saturdays and Sundays, foreigners all stopped working, and Fang Guofei still didn't go home. He said he was busy, either to socialize with this person, or to flatter someone, and go fishing or mahjong with him.Fang Guofei was in Hangzhou, and Xu Ailian didn't know where he was.The big brother who hit him would just say that something had to go wrong without even saying a few words, or simply not get through to him.

Fang Guofei didn't go home, in fact, it was because he didn't want to go home, so he became Boss Fang. Fang Guofei, who was already somewhat famous in this city, had high-profile moments outside, and most of the people he met were flattering or flattering faces.When he returned home, he suddenly became shorter. Xu Ailian still had the face of a princess and was always lukewarm towards him.

Fang Guofei told Xu Ailian several times not to work as a cashier in the provincial textile industry, but to either come to his company and be the boss's wife, or return home and still be the boss's wife.Xu Ailian ignored him every time and continued to go to work at Provincial Textiles every day and continued to be her cashier.

This made Fang Guofei feel frustrated.

He knew that Xu Ailian liked textile production and being a cashier so much. She refused to leave there, go home or come to his company. To be honest, she still looked down on Fang Guofei from the bottom of her heart, thinking that he was just a nouveau riche, and She herself, although I have taken a back seat, the airs of a princess are still there.

Fang Guofei doesn't go home every night. In addition to working overtime, there are two places he goes to most.

At that time, society was no longer like it was a few years ago, where even a man and a woman dancing together might convict you of being a hooligan.Ballrooms began to enter the society from the earliest foreign-related hotels such as the Overseas Chinese Hotel, Xinqiao Hotel, Youhao Hotel, and Hangcheng Hotel.

The first public social dance hall in Hangzhou: "Fengle Song and Dance Hall" was opened in the underground air-raid shelter at the intersection of Zhonghe Road and Jiefang Road. The space of more than 1000 square meters is divided into four functional areas: chess and card room, coffee bar, karaoke room and social dance floor.In the air-raid shelter at the foot of Baoshi Mountain, the Taiwanese opened the "Liuxia KTV" there.

At that time, people's spare time life was still very monotonous. After dinner, apart from going out to watch movies, they would also sit around the TV at home. There were not many TV stations, and everyone watched basically the same content, which were TV series from CCTV.

While the citizens on the ground were yawning after watching the TV series and preparing to go to bed, underground in Hangzhou, these newly opened entertainment venues were overcrowded and very popular with young men and women.

In terms of age, Fang Guofei, who is in his 30s and approaching his [-]s, has one foot in the ranks of middle-aged people, but the other foot is still firmly on the tail of youth and refuses to let go.He likes to carry his big brother in one hand and walk to these places with eight steps.When he got here, he twisted his hips, twisted his waist, and found a condom (a woman) for a hug. He felt that he could completely relax.

Taking a break is the best rest.

Here Fang Guofei met the girls from the song and dance troupe who went to Guangzhou to participate in the Canton Fair. They came here to dance with them when they were not performing. When they saw Boss Fang, they were naturally overjoyed.

The girls brought new girls to meet Boss Fang. Boss Fang spent a lot of money. Every night, he was surrounded by clouds of beauties, so many that he didn't even know who they were. During the singing and dancing, he felt like he was soaring in the clouds.

Emerging from the ground, Fang Guofei took them to his office, or drove them to some hidden corners in his car.At that time, the city was not as glamorous as it is now. There were hidden corners everywhere, as if they were prepared for them. The only annoying thing was that suddenly there would be flashlight beams from the evading defense team members.

What Fang Guofei likes to do most is to take a woman and go camping in the suburbs in the middle of the night.

At that time, people had never even seen a tent, and camping was a very new word.Fang Guofei is engaged in foreign trade, and his company has samples provided by foreigners, such as simple folding tents.

Fang Guofei drove the car to the outskirts, found a meadow or woods by the water, set up the tent, and two or more people crowded into the tent and hugged each other.Although I was shivering from the cold, and when I got out of the tent at dawn, my nose was still running clear, I still felt very happy and felt that this was romantic and fashionable.

I am just like those foreigners in movies and TV, sleeping in a tent at night, huh.

Xu Ailian was not a fool. Fang Guofei didn't go home, so she vaguely knew what he was doing outside.Xu Ailian was filled with hatred in her heart, but she didn't say anything on the surface, let alone make a fuss.She felt that if she and Fang Guofei were noisy and quarrelsome, she would be on the same level as him and those women.
