Chapter 7 Fang Guofei

Fang Yan has known that he was adopted since he was a child. Even if he forgets, others will remind him.Neighbors' children, classmates in kindergarten and primary school, and senior classmates, whenever their dialect conflicts with them, they will shout at him: "Here for a hug!"

What's even more outrageous is that often several children, men and women, would surround him and shout: "Here for a hug!"

While yelling back, he kept raising his fist as if to knock him down.

To a child, this is like a prick of words, indicating that you are an alien, garbage, thrown in the trash can, and no one wants it.

Although Fang Guofei didn't pick him up from the street or the trash can.

When Fang Yan encountered this, his face turned red and his eyes filled with tears. He tried his best to control himself not to cry. When he found his mother at home, he burst into tears.

Xu Ailian hugged him, comforted him, and prepared delicious food for him.While Fang Yan was eating delicious food, Xu Ailian picked up the phone at home and called the class teacher or neighbors to ask them to take care of their students and children.

When the other party receives the call, they always say OK, I got it, Mommy Dialect.

But no one can control a child's mouth.

The same thing happened over and over again, until Fangyan graduated from elementary school and went to Noble Junior High School. No one in school knew about his past, and no one would call him "a hugger."

Every time Fang Yan was scolded for being "cuddled", when he went home to find his mother, he hated his biological parents. If he saw them, he wanted to ask them face to face, why don't you want me?Why do you want to throw me away like garbage?
Xu Ailian loves Fang Yan very much, even to the point of doting on her. I wonder if she is intentionally or unintentionally trying to erase her identity as an adoptive mother so that Fang Yan will not feel that she is lacking.She loves her son more than other mothers, and she loves Fang Yan even more. She has never scolded him, or even shown her face to him. She is completely obedient to him.

When the family started to have money, almost anything Fang Yan wanted to buy, as long as he asked, Xu Ailian would satisfy him.

Fangyan owns the "Fist of the North Star" Kenjiro diamond-encrusted figure jointly launched by Swarovski and the "Fist of the North Star" game production company, and a Japanese Bandai toy to commemorate its "Saint Seiya" Saint Cloth Myth series of figures. To celebrate the 10th anniversary of its launch, the Sagittarius Gold Saint Cloth figure was produced.

Because Fang Guofei's foreign trade company has many Japanese customers, from GBA SP to NDS, from GBM to NDSi, to 3DS and Wii U GamePad, and finally to Switch, Fangyan almost always has the latest Nintendo products of each generation at the first time. A game console.

At night, Fang Yan was afraid of sleeping alone, so he always slept with Xu Ailian. Xu Ailian had to hold Fang Yan every night in order to sleep peacefully.Otherwise, she would get up and go to Fang Yan's room every hour.This made Fang Guofei extremely annoyed when he went to bed at night every time he came back, so he hated dialect even more.

It wasn't until Fang Yan was in the fourth grade of elementary school that Xu Ailian suddenly realized that Fang Yan had grown up one night, and she no longer allowed Fang Yan to sleep with her at night, and asked him to go back to his room to sleep.

As a result, Fang Yan burst into tears every night, stared at the dark ceiling above his head with his eyes open, and fell asleep in fear every day.When he woke up from a nightmare in the middle of the night, he still had to run to Xu Ailian's room and get into her bed.

Xu Ailian coaxed Fang Yan to sleep. She let Fang Yan sleep on her bed. She got up and walked to Fang Yan's room and fell asleep on Fang Yan's bed.

From the time when Fang Yan was sensible, Fang Guofei was almost never at home. In a month, it was probably less than a week, and he spent the night at home.

Fang Guofei was very smart and very ambitious. It was not without reason that Xu Ailian fell in love with him in the first place.

When he took customers and the company's salesmen to the factory every day, he quietly learned English and Japanese in private. At that time, many Japanese customers came to China to purchase textiles, and many of the textiles sold to Europe and the United States were also from Japanese companies. Order placed.

When Fang Guofei was able to understand the English and Japanese spoken by those customers, he remained silent in front of the company's salesmen.Others thought he was just a driver and didn't understand anything. In fact, he was quietly learning how these salesmen spoke and how to deal with customers, especially the professional terminology. He first wrote it down, and then quietly learned it. Ask others.

When the salesman sent the customer to the airport, the salesman went to help the customer check in. When Fang Guofei was alone with the customer, he began to communicate with the customer and asked for their contact information. When the salesman came back after completing the check-in formalities, Then we send the guests through the security check together without anyone noticing.

When Fang Guofei returned to the company, he watched and listened carefully to the company's internal business, such as documents and customs declarations. If he didn't understand anything, he asked Xu Ailian. Xu Ailian was the company's cashier and she dealt with people in which department. , know something about their work.If she still doesn’t understand something, just ask, and those people will be happy to tell her.

She turned around and told Fang Guofei again.There was no Internet at that time, and foreign trade business mainly relied on fax machines. Fax machines were extremely expensive. One machine cost more than 1 yuan, which was equivalent to a person's salary for several years. International long distance was even more expensive, and ordinary units did not have international long distance services at all.

There is only one way for customers to find domestic suppliers, and that is to participate in the Canton Fair. Those who are eligible to participate in the Canton Fair are state-owned foreign trade companies and large state-owned enterprises in various places, or foreign-funded enterprises.Ordinary small factories, collectives, and private enterprises simply do not have that qualification.

Even if the customer goes to China on his own, there is no way to find the factory directly. The factory does not have import and export rights, so he still has to place an order through a foreign trade company.The export business of foreign trade companies is like this, and the import business is even more so. There are quotas for the import of various materials. Materials without quotas cannot be imported. Foreign trade companies in every province and city make a lot of money just relying on these quotas. .

So at that time, the salesmen of these large foreign trade companies were all extremely arrogant, bossing around the factories below and indifferent to their customers.

Fang Guofei was very flattering to his customers and the factories below him, and he quickly gained the trust of both of them.

After bringing Fang Yan home, Fang Guofei felt that the biggest issue at home was solved, so he decided to start a business and start a foreign trade company of his own.

As time goes by, the raw rice has been cooked for a long time, and the cooked rice has become cold rice. Xu Ailian's parents only have one daughter, Xu Ailian. How can they really break off the relationship and really keep their family together? Behind closed doors?
As soon as she had time, Xu Ailian held Fang Yan and led Fang Guofei back to take a look.

In addition, at that time, the higher-ups suddenly began to advocate younger, more knowledgeable and professional cadres. The position that Xu's father had been waiting for was taken by young cadres first.He saw that there was no hope of promotion. In a few years, he would be relegated from the top position of the Foreign Economic and Trade Committee to the second line.Xu's father felt a little disheartened and became kind to his family.

The foreign trade company that Fang Guofei wanted to set up was still a rare thing at that time. Xu's father was very supportive. He felt that a man could not be a driver for the rest of his life.

Obtaining import and export licenses, etc., are all within the scope of Xu's father's jurisdiction. With Xu's father's support, things that are difficult for others are not difficult at all when Fang Guofei comes here, and all the procedures are quickly completed. , opened a foreign trade company.

After the company was established, Fang Guofei bought a fax machine, found out the contact information of the customers he had accumulated, and contacted them one by one through fax or international long distance.Those customers don't want to hang themselves on a tree in the provincial textile industry. Mistfang or Hadasan come to their door. Of course they are very happy and are willing to place a small order first and give them a try.

Fang Guofei was out running almost every day, either to the factory or to the dock. No matter how small the order was, he would watch them finish it at the factory. Finally, when he went to the dock to watch the goods being assembled into containers, Fang Guofei went back with confidence.

When they started the company, they relied on their own savings and some money supported by Xu Ailian's parents. When the company first started, the conditions were very difficult. Fang Guofei didn't have a car, so he had to take buses and green trains everywhere.

At that time, even the expressway was not open, let alone the high-speed rail. Fang Guofei had to go to the suburban counties below Hangzhou, such as Meicheng, which was more than 100 kilometers away and took three or four hours to walk. Still, nothing happened on the road. in the case of.

At that time, it was normal to have continuous road conditions. Every time you took a bus, there would always be a landslide in front of you, or road construction, or a car accident, or simply a car crushed the villagers' pigs, dogs, chickens and ducks to death. Villagers on both sides came out to block the road. Like Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, the huge flow of traffic had to stop and wait for several hours before setting off again.

Plans were always unexpectedly broken, and Fang Guofei could only go from one place to the next without having time to return to Hangzhou.

After ten days and a half, he returned to Hangzhou. When he got home, Fang Guofei was already exhausted.Xu Ailian told him about Fang Yan being bullied outside. Fang Guofei was bored when he heard that Fang Yan was a coward. He looked at Fang Yan and asked:
"What are your hands doing there? You can't just slap them?"

Fang Yan muttered: "There are several of them, and they are all in a higher grade than me."

"So what?" Fang Guofei scolded, "You couldn't beat them the first time. Then you turned around and went to find a brick. Then you walked behind him and gave him a brick? You beat him half to death, and then you come back and say, I I promise not to scold you. I will go to the hospital to apologize to their parents and pay them money. I am willing to give them the money. You have the nerve to say that to someone who was beaten? "

Fang Guofei got more and more angry as he talked. If Xu Ailian hadn't glared at him, Fang Guofei would have been so angry that he slapped him in the face.

When Fang Yan was a child, what he hated most was when Fang Guofei came home. When Fang Guofei came back, he would not get any good fruits except being scolded.

The most important thing is that when Fang Guofei comes back, Fang Yan has to go back to his room to sleep obediently. He can't sleep with Xu Ailian. Even if he wakes up from a nightmare in the middle of the night, he can't go to Xu Ailian and can only lie there, in the dark, Continue to be afraid.
