The Pentium Era - South to North

Xu Qiaoxin and the others finally caught up with the Canton Fair. When Zhang Chen watched the news about the opening of the Canton Fair on TV, he wanted to capture his company's booth from the flashing lens, but it was impossible. The exhibition hall of the Canton Fair was really It is too big and there are too many exhibitors.

However, Liu Ligan pointed to a guest standing on the rostrum of the opening ceremony and told Zhang Chen that he, just him, was Xiao Huang's second brother. Only then did Zhang Chen realize that he was in a hurry. He was the one who caught the Canton Fair train.

Liu Ligan had met Xiao Huang's second brother. When he went to Beijing to discuss the demolition of the Hangcheng Oil Refinery, Xiao Huang's second brother and Sun Hou's eldest brother both showed up. Liu Ligan described to Zhang Chen The scene when they entered the box left a deep memory for Zhang Chen.

Now, one of these two people is on TV and the other is the boss in Qingdao.

When Xu Qiaoxin talked to Zhang Chen on the phone at night, her voice was almost hoarse. She said to Zhang Chen excitedly:

Mr. Zhang, there are too many people. It’s worth our time to come. Each of us has collected more than a hundred business cards. Mr. Zhang, let me tell you, almost all the companies and customers we can name have always been there. All the customers who wanted to contact but could not be contacted were met this time. It turns out that they come to the Canton Fair every year.

We ourselves have to distribute almost two boxes of business cards a day. It took us a long time to find out that other people’s booths always put the business cards and picture albums together. Just like that, use a stapler or paper clip to staple the business cards to the cover of the picture album. So that when people go back and look at the album, they will know who to contact. Haha, we are so stupid, but we did it right away.

Afterwards, Xu Qiaoxin sighed again: So the Canton Fair is like this!

Xu Qiaoxin's emotions also infected Zhang Chen. He couldn't help but laugh as he held the phone.

On the third day, Xu Qiaoxin called Zhang Chen again. As soon as the call came through, she laughed on the other end of the phone. Zhang Chen was puzzled by her smile and asked her, what do you want to say?

"I don't know either, Mr. Zhang, wait, I'll laugh for a while."

Zhang Chen also smiled and said: "You don't know, so you still called me?"

"No, no, Mr. Zhang... I'm telling you... wait, wait... I'm telling you, Mr. Zhang..."

Xu Qiaoxin finally laughed enough, and then said to Zhang Chen:

"This afternoon, Mr. Zhang, a man came over. He was very impressive. He discussed business with me seriously. He asked questions, but refused to say where he was from. He seemed to be very mysterious. I talked with him for more than ten minutes. , he finally told me that he was a buyer for Target.

"It turns out that they also come to the Canton Fair every year. I told him that our company is already their supplier. Jessica and Jerry have also been to our company. Mr. Zhang, haha, didn't you see his embarrassing look? The expression is so fun..."

Zhang Chen laughed and scolded: "This guy is so bureaucratic that he doesn't even know what his company is selling."

"That's right. There are thousands of suppliers, how could they all know about it?" Xu Qiaoxin spoke for the other party.

…

On April 10th, the real estate fair in Hangzhou ended. In the days leading up to the opening of the land auction on the 18th, Liu Ligan and the others were most relaxed. On the morning of the 16th, neither Liu Ligan nor Tan Shuzhen went to the company. , but waiting for Zhang Chen, and as soon as he arrived, he would take him to the construction site in Xiasha to have a look.

Zhang Chen has also been busy with the Canton Fair these days and hasn't been there for several days. He doesn't even know what the floor slab on the second floor will look like after it is poured.

Liu Ligan's Aston Martin could only seat two people, so naturally he drove Zhang Chen's car. Liu Ligan took the key from Zhang Chen's hand and said, "Come on, let me give it a try." What a classic car feels like.

On a whim, Zhang Chen asked Liu Ligan for the keys to the Aston Martin. He said, "Let me try out what it feels like to be a slut."

Liu Ligan's original white Mercedes-Benz, which Zhang Chen and others called "Saobao Ben", was replaced by an Aston Martin. When Wu Zhaohui saw it, the first thing he said was "Saobao!" The nickname of this car came out, "Saobao Ben" "Bao Aston Martin", with the abbreviation adding homophony, it becomes "Sao Bao".

The three of them went downstairs. Tan Shuzhen did not go to the Audi A8 with Liu Ligan, but followed Zhang Chen to the Aston Martin. Liu Ligan looked at her in confusion. Tan Shuzhen said, Xiao Zhao is not here, I want to go with him. Zhang Chen shows off.

Zhang Chen laughed.

They opened the car and drove past in a swaggering manner. Passersby turned around. Zhang Chen and Tan Shuzhen said that they were all calling it, saying "cool". This car was indeed a coquettish car.

Tan Shuzhen smiled and said, "It's true. I don't dare to sit in more formal occasions."

Zhang Chen turned to look at her and teased her: "What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that people will say that a handsome man, a beautiful woman, a beautiful car, a perfect match?"

"Fuck you!" Tan Shuzhen scolded, "Now I am a handsome man, a beautiful woman, a beautiful car, and I am worthy of you."

Zhang Chen laughed.

After the floor slab on the second floor of the factory was poured, the factory building happened to face Road No. 1. From a distance, they saw a winding stretch of land at the end of the road, like a shadow of a mountain. Tan Shuzhen sighed, Zhang Chen, did you see it? This is too big. Spectacular!

Zhang Chen also became excited. Isn't this exactly the momentum he wanted? Then he arrived on the second floor. When he got to the third floor, he waited for the corrugated aluminum panels outside to be installed. When the sun shined, that beauty was really magnificent. The momentum of the teaching building of Hangzhou Normal University next to it was suppressed in an instant. This corner of garbage that everyone originally disliked will definitely become the most eye-catching corner of Xiasha.

They drove into the construction site and saw Lao Tan's car parked here. Zhang Chen parked the car next to Lao Tan's car. After a while, Liu Ligan also arrived. When he got out of the car, he cursed, "Zhang Chen" Chen, your crappy car is not good enough. No matter how hard I chase you, I can't catch you. I'll eat shit all the way.

"Fart!" Zhang Chen cursed. He was not convinced anymore: "Go back later and see how I can catch up with you."

The three people walked along a slope made of bamboo to the second floor. Liu Ligan shouted:

"It's so big that you can play football here. Zhang Chen, look at this large area. It's really as big as several football fields. Zhao Zhigang's feet are swollen when he walks from one end to the other every day."

Zhang Chen and Tan Shuzhen laughed. Lao Tan saw them coming up from a distance and walked over. When he heard Liu Ligan's words, he pointed to the steel bars that stood upright one by one and said:

"When the floor slab was just poured, these pillars were not up yet. You didn't see it. That's what it's called. The roof of the building can even take off and land airplanes."

Zhang Chen saw workers tying steel bars in the concave-shaped gap. He asked Lao Tan: "Is the office building going to start too?"

Lao Tan was right, but after doing this, doing that again felt like a child playing house.

The four people walked from the front of the building to the back of the building. They saw that the foundation in the dormitory area had been poured and the frame was being put up. Liu Ligan asked, will there be no problem with the construction period?

Lao Tan said there was no problem.

"We also need to consider that in June, it will be the rainy season, and construction will be very troublesome at that time." Tan Shuzhen said, "There is only more than a month left."

Lao Tan said, Zhenzhen, you are right. Zhang Musheng also reminded me. He said that the rainy season in June and July every year is the most annoying time, and it happens to be the time when we are rushing to meet the construction deadline.

"We have suffered from it in Genshan River. Those big water pumps can't pump water 24 hours a day." Liu Ligan said.

Lao Tan nodded and said that before the end of May, we should try to take down the roof of the third floor. Once that is taken down, there is no need to worry about the remaining indoor work.

"For a small project like an office building, even if we put an awning on top, the bottom can still be cast in place," Lao Tan said.

"As long as the factory building comes down, it doesn't matter if the office building is delayed." Zhang Chen said, "You can work in the factory building first."

"Even the workers can lay the floor in the workshop first. We don't do much. The conditions in this workshop are much better than those we had back then." Liu Ligan said.

"You were at that time, you were at that time, before liberation?" Lao Tan teased, "We still go according to plan and try to win them all together. In this way, the workers will feel comfortable after moving to the new factory."

"You are right, don't listen to these two old gentlemen." Tan Shuzhen and Lao Tan said.

They walked around on the roof of the building and returned to the front. They saw truckloads of square pipes coming in at the gate below. Zhang Chen asked: "So quickly, have the exterior wall builders also entered?"

Lao Tan is right.

These square steel pipes are used to support and install corrugated aluminum plates. They are interwoven into small squares horizontally and vertically outside the cement frame. The corrugated aluminum plates are installed on these square pipes with rivets.

After the roof of the second floor has been poured, the construction unit can come in and start installing the first floor brackets, which is also a large and time-consuming project.

Lao Tan looked at his watch and said to them: "How about it? Let's eat here at noon. There is a local restaurant here on No. 1 Road ahead. It tastes very good."

Zhang Chen was happy when he heard this. He probably thought that Lao Tan was referring to Huijuan's local restaurant. Unexpectedly, Lao Tan had become her regular customer. Before Liu Ligan could talk to Tan Shuzhen, Zhang Chen said, OK, I ate here.

The four of them took Lao Tan's jeep and went out. Sure enough, they drove to the entrance of "Huijuan Local Food Restaurant" and stopped. Lao Tan walked at the front and Zhang Chen walked at the back. Huijuan at the counter greeted Lao Tan when she saw him. He came out and shouted, Mr. Tan, you are here, welcome.

Huijuan was stunned for a moment when she saw Zhang Chen walking at the end. Zhang Chen shook his head slightly towards her. Huijuan understood. She leaned over and whispered in Ah Qiao's ear, and both of them pretended not to know Zhang Chen. Morning look.

Zhang Chen was indifferent on the surface, but he couldn't help but want to laugh in his heart.

Lao Tan and Huijuan said: "I still want a soybean stewed with pig's feet. They are very good at eating spicy food. Huijuan, please give them the spiciest ones."

Huijuan said yes.

Zhang Chen walked to the door of the kitchen and looked inside. He saw stinky tofu on the shelf with vegetables. He said, "I want some fried stinky tofu with green peppers."

Huijuan looked at him, as if she couldn't help it anymore, and smiled: "Okay, I understand."

The four people entered the inner room and sat down at the table near the glass.

Platefuls of vegetables and casseroles came up one by one. Liu Ligan and Tan Shuzhen tasted them and shouted that they were delicious. Zhang Chen could only follow them.

Lao Tan looked at them and said proudly: "How about it, I knew you would like it?"

"No, no, Zhang Chen, this place will also become our stronghold in the future." Liu Ligan nodded and said.
