Zhang Junping naturally knew that the two Qiu sisters were not short of the twenty or thirty yuan, and this was just a joke between the brother and sister.
"Brother, I asked you why you keep scheming against me. You even want to take advantage of me when you go to your father-in-law's house as a gift.
As a co-author, if you suffer a loss from your sister, you can make up for it with me!" Zhang Junping said with a smile.
"Sure! Has it been easy for me these years? Me!
Of the three sisters, none of them were worry-free, and all of them tried their best to trick me.
When I was a child, they took away all the delicious food.
When I grow up, it’s not easy to save some money for my own house, but before I can keep warm, I’m tricked by them again.” Qiu Jianguo said with a look of grievance.
"Okay, don't feel wronged!
It's for you!
Second brother-in-law, this is yours!" Zhang Junping took out two very low-key watches from his pocket and handed them to the two people.
"What kind of watch is this?" Qiu Jianguo took the watch and looked back and forth.
It feels very ordinary and seems to be inexplicably expensive.
"Rolex!" Zhang Junping replied with a smile.
The watch Zhang Junping gave them was a Rolex Datejust series watch.
It should be regarded as the most low-key watch in the Rolex family.
The watch Zhang Junping bought is not made of gold, which is the longest-used material by Rolex. Instead, it is made of platinum and stainless steel.
The gray platinum dial and stainless steel bezel look unremarkable at all.
It is more low-key than the ordinary Rolex Datejust series.
It just so happened that when Zhang Junping was shopping in Zurich, he happened to have more than a dozen Rolex watches customized by an agent.
Later, other businesses the agent invested in failed and the contract could no longer be fulfilled, so it was sold in a store in Zurich.
Regardless of the reason why the other party doesn't want it, it's an unexpected surprise for Zhang Junping.
A watch like this is just right to give as a gift.
So Zhang Junping bought them all.
"Isn't this watch cheap?"
"It's not bad! Take it with you with peace of mind!" Zhang Junping didn't say the price, it was boring.
"Okay! I feel that with this watch, I can repay the money that your wife cheated me out of over the years!" Qiu Jianguo took off the original watch and put on the Rolex.
"I know you are a rich man!" After looking at it, he felt good, Qiu Jianguo said with a smile.
"Brother, as long as you like it!" Zhang Junping smiled and never mentioned the price.
"Hey! Brother, second brother-in-law, where did you get this watch? It's so beautiful!" The two sisters, Qiu Wenling and Qiu Wenyan, returned to the living room after dividing the stolen goods.
The sharp-eyed Qiu Wenling saw the watches on the wrists of Qiu Jianguo and Ma Mingchen at a glance.
The main thing is that the two Shaobao took off their original watches, put them on the coffee table, and put on new watches.
Qiu Wenling rolled her eyes and stretched out her slender hand towards Zhang Junping, "Third brother-in-law, I want it too! Look, I don't even have a watch on my hand."
"It's been prepared a long time ago. It's just a worthless thing. I didn't have the nerve to give it to you as a meeting gift just now.
I was thinking about asking your third sister to bring it to you later." Zhang Junping smiled and took out a watch box from his briefcase and handed it to Qiu Wenling.
The women's watch is relatively more exquisite. Although it also has a platinum dial, it is inlaid with a circle of diamonds.
Qiu Wenling held the watch and couldn't put it down. She put it on her wrist and looked at it for a while, then she smiled sweetly at Zhang Junping and said, "Thank you, third brother-in-law!"
"Why are you so polite with your brother-in-law?" Zhang Junping, this lazy guy, really couldn't stand his sister-in-law's smile.
Zhang Junping took out two more boxes and handed them to Qiu Wenyan, "These are for the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister! Give them to them later!"
"Yes!" Qiu Wenyan happily agreed and took the box.
Qiu Wenyan naturally knew that except for the younger brother who had not come back yet, everyone in the family was together.
Qiu Wenyan was naturally filled with joy that her man could think so thoughtfully about his family.
"Lingling, call your dad and ask why you haven't come back for dinner yet?" Qiu's mother came over and ordered Qiu Wenling.
Don't expect Qiu Jianguo to call you to ask whether you want to eat or not. Qiu Jianguo wouldn't even dare to make such a call to death.
Only a few girls can fight.
"Oh!" Qiu Wenling agreed, picked up the phone, and started dialing Qiu's father's office.
As a result, the phone rang for a long time and no one answered.
After Qian hung up the phone, the door outside rang, and Father Qiu opened the door and walked in.
"Dad, you're back, I'm almost starving to death!" Qiu Wenling rushed over, took Father Qiu's arm and said coquettishly.
"I'm sorry! Dad had to deal with some matters temporarily and came back late." Father Qiu apologized to Qiu Wenling in a rare way.
The voice is called gentle.
Zhang Junping looked at Qiu Wenyan and wondered why his father-in-law had never been so gentle to his wife.
If Qiu Wenyan and Qiu Wenling hadn't looked so similar, Zhang Junping would have suspected that his wife was not his biological child.
Mother Qiu stepped forward and took the briefcase.
Qiu Wenyan also stepped forward to help Father Qiu take out his slippers and put them on the ground. He then reached out to take the coat that Father Qiu had taken off and hung it on the hanger in the bedroom.
Zhang Junping was very envious of such treatment.
Zhang Junping has seen this scene more than once, but every time he sees it, he can't help but feel envious.
This is a successful man.
"Dad!" After Qiu's father finished changing his shoes, Zhang Junping and the other three came forward to say hello.
"Well! There are quite a lot of people here today!" Father Qiu said with a smile when he saw the three people.
"Where is Mingming?" After looking around and not seeing his precious grandson, Father Qiu asked.
"Obviously he's asleep! He and his sister-in-law were crazy all afternoon today, and he's still asleep now." Qiu's mother replied with a smile.
"Um!"
Father Qiu went to the bathroom and washed his hands and face before sitting down at the main seat in the living room.
"Today the embassy in Prussia sent a telegram saying that Volkswagen Group has contacted the embassy and plans to come for inspection in late February." Qiu's father looked at Zhang Junping and said with a smile.
"Dad, what do you need me to do?" Zhang Junping asked directly.
He knew that Father Qiu would not just tell him this information casually.
"Mayor Zhou knows what you and the director of the Volkswagen Group are called..."
"Smith!"
"Yes! I know that you have a good relationship with Director Smith, so I asked you to join the reception group."
"Dad, actually it's useless for me to join the reception group.
The Prussians made a clear distinction between personal feelings and official matters.
I will never make any changes because of my personal relationship.
The reason why Smith accepted my suggestion and came to China for inspection was entirely because I told him: China is a huge market that has not been developed yet. Whoever owns the Chinese market in the future will own the whole world.
He came to China for inspection only after he believed what I said."
"China is a huge untapped market. Whoever owns the Chinese market owns the whole world.
What you said is good!
Now I'm thinking about putting you in an art shop, are you a little overqualified?" After hearing Zhang Junping's words, Father Qiu's eyes lit up, he repeated it, and said with certainty.
"Dad! It was the wisest decision for you to put me in the art shop!
Do you know how big the art market is around the world?
That is a huge market measured in hundreds of billions of dollars.
This is not yet considered the luxury market extended by art.
If the luxury goods market is included, it is a huge market measured in trillions of dollars every year.
The development of artworks, and by extension, the development of luxury goods, will drive the country's industrial development to a certain extent." Zhang Junping was afraid that his father-in-law might get mad and transfer him away from the painting shop, so he quickly painted cakes for him.
"One hundred billion, one trillion, what a big tone!
I don’t ask you to earn hundreds of millions of dollars in foreign exchange for the country every year.
As long as you can earn several million dollars in foreign exchange every year, it's not worth my trouble to arrange this.
If you can earn tens of millions of foreign exchange, then you will be the treasure of the city." Qiu's father saw through Zhang Junping's heart at a glance and said with a smile.
"Dad, what do the leaders of my plan mean?"
“The leaders of the city government have basically agreed, but they still need to report to the leaders of the municipal party committee.
Eventually we will have to go to a meeting.
However, it’s the end of the year and the leaders are busy, so your art shop reform plan won’t be approved until after the Spring Festival!” Father Qiu said with a smile.
Although it is only a reform of a unit under the administrative bureau, it is still a reform.
Leaders are more cautious.
It is safest to adopt a collective decision-making approach.
"Okay! It's the end of the year. You've been busy for a year, so take a good rest." Zhang Junping said with a smile.
"First of all, you should do a good job in receiving the public business delegation. Don't take this matter as a joke.
It must be taken seriously.
As long as Volkswagen Group can invest in China, your contribution will be indispensable." Father Qiu reminded.
"I know, dad!" Zhang Junping agreed with a smile.
I had long expected that when the Volkswagen business inspection team came, I would definitely not be able to escape.
Zhang Junping really didn't want to go. The reception team had very high standards, so Zhang Junping was just a soldier.
To put it bluntly, it's not even his turn to serve tea or water.
After having dinner at his father-in-law's house, Zhang Junping rode a tricycle back to the courtyard.
"Pingzi, why did you switch to a cart today?" Uncle Liu heard the noise, came out and saw Zhang Junping pushing the cart into the hospital, and asked with a smile.
"Isn't it almost the Chinese New Year! I went to give my father-in-law a gift, and I couldn't bring my bicycle with me, so I borrowed a cart." Zhang Junping explained casually.
Uncle Liu didn't say anything more and retreated back into the room.
"Old man, who is it?" Aunt Liu asked.
"Pingzi!
Alas! It’s different after all!” Uncle Liu sighed.
"What's different?"
"I said Pingzi, after being transferred to a new unit, things are not as good as before.
In the past, as a Christmas gift, it would definitely be a small Jeep from their bureau.
Now I actually borrowed a trolley." Uncle Liu said and shook his head again.
Zhang Junping, I didn’t know that borrowing a trolley just for convenience would arouse so much speculation.
As soon as I got home and washed my face, Tian Shumei opened the door and came in.
"Look, what is this!" Tian Shumei slapped a dozen thick industrial rolls on the table and showed off to Zhang Junping: "If you don't help me, I can still buy a sewing machine and a sewing machine."
"Pah!" Zhang Junping slapped Tian Shumei's butt.
“You’re so patient!
If Dashan hadn't helped you, would you have been able to get so many industrial papers?"
Tian Shumei blushed, holding her butt with one hand, looking at Zhang Junping and asked: "How do you know the mountain I am looking for?"
"Have you forgotten who Dashan belongs to?" Zhang Junping said with a smile.
"Okay, no matter who you find, if you can get the industrial papers, you will pass.
After the new year, start looking for a house!
It’s best to look for a house with a front store and a backyard.
A shop is opened in the front to sell clothes, and the back is used as a workshop to produce clothes.
Also, during the Chinese New Year, think about whether you have any acquaintances with the clothing factory.
When looking for someone to work part-time, you have to have someone you know.
Because a large number of educated youths have returned to the city, I estimate that this will happen in all factories.
That is for parents to retire early and give up their jobs to their children.
I think clothing factories are no exception.
You can look for people who have retired from garment factories.
Although they are retired, they were actually skilled workers in their early years.
If you find them, you won't have to find people to work part-time in the store.
Of course, if you have a lot of sales here and are overwhelmed, you can find some people and let them work at your home.
Decide for them how much it will cost to make a piece of clothing.
In order to prevent them from learning the style of clothing, you can take apart a piece of clothing and let Zhang Sanguang be responsible for making the sleeves of the clothing.
Li Si is in charge of making the collar.
Finally, you assemble these parts in the store." Zhang Junping taught Tian Shumei how to open a store and how to manage production.
Tian Shumei nodded after hearing this, forgetting the soreness and numbness in her buttocks for a moment.
However, there was no stove in Zhang Junping's room. As time went on, Tian Shumei couldn't bear the cold. While listening to Zhang Junping's words, she stamped her feet from time to time.
He is young and has strong firepower. In the cold winter months, with temperatures of more than ten degrees below zero, Zhang Junping did not light the stove, but he still did not feel cold.
But Tian Shumei can't.
"Okay, let me tell you this much for today!
I will tell you the rest after you have rented the curtain." Zhang Junping was also tired today, drank some wine, and felt a little sleepy, so he yawned and ended today's teaching.
After sending Tian Shumei away, Zhang Junping poured water to soak his feet and then went to bed.
He is really tired today. Sometimes socializing is more tiring than working.
One is tired physically, the other is mentally tired.
Early the next morning, Zhang Junping took the cart for a spin and filled the cart with seafood.
They are all prepared dried abalone, dried sea cucumber, frozen swimming crab, lobster, yellow croaker and so on.
Send it to my father-in-law's house.
Unfortunately, Qiu Wenyan has to go to work today and cannot accompany her.
After delivering the things, Zhang Junping chatted with his mother-in-law and left the Qiu family.
Um!
My mother-in-law looks good today. It seems that the medicinal wine yesterday was very effective.
Zhang Junping went to Caishikou, returned the cart and exchanged it for a bicycle.
Riding a bicycle and walking on the street, I felt a little at a loss.
I'm used to being busy, but now that I'm free, I really don't know what to do.
Wandering aimlessly on the street, when passing by an overpass, Zhang Junping saw a shop and stopped the car.
Went in.
Zhang Junping suddenly thought that he seemed to have just traveled through time and had never been there since.
There are many good things in trust stores in this era.
In a few years, trust stores will begin to decline and eventually disappear.
Of course, none of this matters.
The important thing is that in this day and age, trust stores still have some good stuff.
In a few years, all the good things in the trust store will be taken away by thoughtful people.
Zhang Junping walked into the trust store and looked at the counter leisurely.
The first floor is mainly devoted to daily necessities, and is all-inclusive. There is nothing you can’t think of that is not available here.
Of course, they are all second-hand.
Pots and pans, cotton-padded clothes, leather jackets, bicycles, radios, record players, cameras, and Zhang Junping saw a TV set.
Zhang Junping strolled around leisurely.
Although these things are not what he needs, they do not prevent him from wandering around and seeing something new.
In this era, trust stores in China functioned similarly to flea markets abroad.
They are all second-hand goods transactions.
After walking around on the first floor, Zhang Junping strolled up to the second floor.
The products sold on the second floor are the best.
There are two counters on the first and second floors, one is the receiving counter and the other is the sales counter.
Zhang Junping arrived in front of the sales counter on the second floor and looked at it slowly.
"Hey, isn't this Leader Zhang? You're not here because of your schedule!"
"Long time no see, Mr. Hu's style remains the same!" Zhang Junping said with a smile and cupped his fists.
He also didn't expect that Lao Hu would still remember him after not seeing him for such a long time.
"Don't dare, don't dare! Leader Zhang just calls me Lao Hu!" Lao Hu said quickly, waving his hands.
"Okay! Lao Hu, bring me all the good items in your store!" Zhang Junping said with a smile.
"I don't know what kind of items you want?" Lao Hu was stunned and then asked with a smile.
"I plan to wrap up all the old items in your trust store." Zhang Junping said half seriously and half jokingly.
"That's a great relationship! If you get everything right, I can get a lot more bonuses this month." Lao Hu also said with a smile.
"What are you waiting for!
Let’s start with calligraphy, painting, and rare ancient books.
You ask someone to record it aside. If I like it, I will put it aside and settle the bill together." Zhang Junping boldly took out a checkbook and said, "Did you see that, I will settle the bill in foreign exchange today."
"Settlement in foreign exchange?" Lao Hu was really stunned.
"How can this be false? There is a Bank of China not far from here that supports ticket verification at any time." Zhang Junping said with a smile.
"Okay! Please wait a moment!" Lao Hu agreed happily, turned around to greet people, and took out rare ancient books, antique calligraphy and paintings from the warehouse.
At the beginning, Zhang Junping also carefully studied what kind of rare ancient books it was.
Later, he discovered that he had made a mistake.
Rare ancient books are a commodity that is easy to collect but not easy to sell. Because trust stores are state-owned, they are reluctant to accept them, but over the past few decades, they have accumulated too many rare ancient books.
As time goes by, the salespersons of several trust stores brought out more and more rare ancient books.
Zhang Junping became numb and no longer paid attention to the content, only to see if it was true.
As long as it's true, put it aside.
This means he wants it.
There were more and more rare ancient books on the floor, until they could no longer put them down, and Lao Hu waved his hand to stop.
"Leader Zhang, do you want more?"
"Yes! How many more are there?" Zhang Junping asked with a smile.
"That's less than one-fifth." Lao Hu said with a smile.
"Have you remembered everything?"
"Remember it!"
"Pack these up first! I'll call a few people over." Zhang Junping said with a smile.
