My 1979

Li He went to look for the sound and found that it was coming from Li Aijun's room. He knocked on the door and the door opened. Sure enough, Li Aijun was holding a small speaker in his hand.

"Hey, where did the trumpet come from?"

"Ahem, I passed by a store when I came back just now and saw one hanging on the window, so I bought one."

Li He smiled and said, "That's too bad!"

The two of them were used to talking to each other without being polite at all.

"I bought it wrong. I thought it was similar to the Charge, but the pronunciation was wrong no matter how I pronounced it. Is it strong or weak? I just played the long note here."

Li Aijun was also depressed. He originally bought a trumpet and wanted to vent, but he played the trumpet every time he felt uncomfortable. But after buying it, he realized something was wrong and became even more depressed.

"How are you feeling? Are there any discomforts in your feet?"

"Very good, thank you."

"No, thank me for anything. We don't need to say such kind words."

Li Aijun gave Li He a cigarette, lit another cigarette for himself, and then said with a smile, "Su Ming will go back in the afternoon, I will go with him."

He knew that Li He wouldn't be able to go back for a while, but he was very anxious and wanted to go back first.

"Just let Lao Yu arrange for someone to play with you for a few more days. Why be in such a hurry."

"I won't wait for you anymore. You have something to do in advance. As you know, the factory is full of things. If you stay for one more day, I will suffer in my heart for one more day. I won't have time to play. You don't have to worry. I have everything I need now. My feet can still be lost. When I get to Guangzhou, I will make my own plane and go back."

Li He said, "Okay, you guys can go buy something together later. It's been a long time coming and you can't go back empty-handed. Let Lao Yu's driver take you there."

Li Aijun said, "I understand, you don't have to worry."

Li He returned to the room. Su Ming and others were there, and everyone chatted about some things.

Su Mingdao said, "I have already negotiated with Shen Daoru about importing tape recorders and printers. This is a sure profit."

"This involves after-sales service, are you sure?"

Su Ming's idea was good, and Li He agreed.

"Lao Shen will help me hire an engineer to go to Shenzhen for training. I just need to hire a dozen young people with flexible minds. It's not difficult to learn with a little brain."

Su Ming said it very confidently.

Li He said, "Okay."

He sent Su Ming and Li Aijun out of the hotel door, and they all squeezed into Yu Dehua's car, because Dehua's driver sent them back to Shenzhen.

Now only Ping Song and Yu Dehua are left by his side.

Seeing that Pingsong was alone, he took out a wad of money and said, "Go out and sneak around by yourself. You are familiar with this area. Just go and do whatever you need to do."

"No, I haven't spent all the US dollars I exchanged last time."

Ping Song followed Li He's advice and went shopping. Everything he saw was still fresh. He even had fun playing with the hotel's access control. He put a card on it and there was a beep, and the door opened.

Yu Dehua finally found the opportunity to talk to Li He. He had been holding him back for the past few days. People like Luo Dingbang were pressing on him step by step. They had asked him out several times, but he had always avoided seeing him because he was busy. .

He could hardly hold it any longer.

"What do you think? These people are not easy to mess with."

Li He said with a smile, "After more than 30 years of post-war construction, Hong Kong has developed from a former entrepot into an emerging industrialized city in Asia. In 1984, manufacturing production accounted for 24.3% of the local GDP. It can be seen that Manufacturing is the backbone of Hong Kong's economy. But with the rise in Hong Kong's labor costs and skyrocketing land prices, do you think Hong Kong's manufacturing industry can continue to develop smoothly?"

For decades, due to well-known historical reasons, the mainland has been in a state of semi-isolation, and a large part of the mainland's import and export trade has to pass through Hong Kong.

In the 1960s and 1970s, Hong Kong's manufacturing industry was on the rise. During its most prosperous period, due to labor shortages, the border was once opened to introduce labor from the mainland. As long as they came, they would have ID cards.

The harmonious state of Hong Kong's manufacturing industry lasted until the early days of mainland China's reform and opening up. With the deepening of China's reform and opening up, Hong Kong's external environment has undergone tremendous changes.

After China opened its door to the country, it quickly attracted Hong Kong capital into the mainland with its cost-effective advantage. At the same time, it also crushed Hong Kong's manufacturing industry. Hong Kong's local manufacturing industry is gradually dying out.

"What do you mean? Hong Kong's manufacturing industry will not be able to survive sooner or later?"

"With the deepening of reform and opening up in the mainland, the migration of labor-intensive industries in Hong Kong to the north is a trend that no one can stop. Therefore, continuing to develop manufacturing in Hong Kong will only lead to a dead end. Neither land prices nor labor force can keep pace with the mainland. For example, people like Luo Dingbang will be like you sooner or later and go to the mainland to set up factories. Hong Kong's advantages are finance and shipping, and even shopping and tourism have a future than developing industry."

"But people like Luo Dingbang are pushing too hard now." Yu Dehua understood Li He's theory, but the pressure was right in front of him. How could he think so far ahead.

Li He said disdainfully, "What are you afraid of? The brave will win when we meet on a narrow road. If you don't run against them, others will run against them sooner or later. It's just a matter of time."

"But?"

"It's nothing, but will they chop you with a knife?"

Yu Dehua said, "That's not possible. The business world naturally has business rules. If there were no rules, the chartering king, Liu Daxiong, would have been hacked by others."

"Then what are you afraid of? If you continue to lower prices, we will definitely win the Hong Kong garment industry in the European and American markets!"

Hong Kong and Taiwan's labor-intensive manufacturing industry is the mainland's number one opponent, and it is Li He's consistent character to be a die-hard Taoist friend rather than a poor Taoist.

Yu Dehua asked in shock, "You still surrender?"

"We must surrender! Since they dare to threaten you, you must let them know the truth about the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, otherwise they will really think you are a soft persimmon. We must not back down from this!"

Li He said that he was so confident that he probably had to wait until October, when he would not be short of money, and he would be able to kill his opponents with money by then. But he won't say these words to Yu Dehua for the time being, as long as he can fool Yu Dehua first.

"But Ge's family is very wealthy, and they are very easy to talk to in Hong Kong."

Li He continued, "Has the Textile General Chamber of Commerce approached you?"

"No"

"Then you don't have to pay attention to other people. The only means they can use is to use their abundant capital to compete with you on price and try to poach your customers. Are you afraid of price competition?"

Yu Dehua affirmed, "I'm not afraid."

After Li He's analysis, he felt as if he had taken a reassurance and was no longer so anxious.

"Of course, we must also follow Chairman Mao's teachings. Strategically, we must despise the enemy, and tactically, we must pay attention to the enemy."

Yu Dehua smiled cheerfully, "I don't think you look like a believer in Marxism."

"I am indeed a believer in Marxism, but I am not Marxism for the sake of Marxism. The Marxism I believe in is a constantly innovative Marxism that is combined with China's national conditions. In layman's terms, it is the sinicization of Marxism. I don't talk about surplus value. , we don’t talk about class struggle, we only talk about Marxist philosophical methodology, which is good stuff, and good stuff should be used naturally.”

Naturally, Yu Dehua couldn't argue with Li He. Now that he had decided on the direction, he felt at ease and didn't want to stay any longer. He chatted a few words and left.

After everyone had left, Li He was even more bored, so he turned on the TV and watched local news, mainly gossip news.

In the evening, before Ping Song came back, he went downstairs to have a look. If he couldn't wait for him, he was going to eat by himself.

I stood downstairs and bought an evening newspaper. I leaned against the wall and smoked while reading the newspaper.

"elder brother."

Li He looked up and was startled, "What's wrong with your eyes?"

"I met a few losers and they had to go against me. If I hadn't run so fast, I would have been in trouble today."

Ping Song's eye sockets were swollen, and there were red slap marks on the left side of his face.

Li He put away the newspaper and said, "Let's go. We'll talk to you later. There is a pharmacy nearby. Let's go get some medicine for you."
