The sedan headed all the way to Huifu Street. The Qiwei Escort Bureau organized a large number of escorts to accompany the team. Every time they reached a street intersection, high-sheng and ten-thousand-word whips were set off. Sun Kecheng led the escorts in uniform and newly made uniforms and personally The people behind him lined up and followed him on foot, looking proud and proud.
Sun Kecheng Ever since the navy burned down Wuyangyi, Qiwei Escort Bureau, which had been keeping its tail between its legs, finally got rid of the situation of pretending to be a grandson. After the secret contract between the two parties was signed, Qiwei Escort Agency started to tremble. He had been holding back his energy for a long time. Waiting for Dongzhu Guo to come back so he can show off.
The team arrived at Dehuifu Street. The street entrance here has been guarded by government officials sent by Nanhai and Panyu counties, and no idlers are allowed to approach. In front of the original Zhaizi and Zichengji and Zizhenzhai No. 2 stores, It has been cleaned and renovated, and the seal that has been posted for more than half a year has long disappeared. The weeds under the front steps have also been pulled out. The road has also been swept clean. The only problem is that of Zichengji and Zizhenzhai. The big glass was broken and taken away, so now I have to leave it alone.
The craftsmen of the former Zishi Enterprise, headed by shopkeeper Shen Fan, lined up at the entrance of the store, eagerly watching the sedan arrive - they had been looking forward to this day for a long time.
After all the Guangzhou Station was evacuated, the workers and craftsmen received their severance pay and went home to avoid the limelight. Some unlucky ones did not escape and were caught by the government officials. They suffered some hardships and lost some money. Fortunately, Sun Kecheng has always been there. Helping in secret, and with constant help from Gao Gao, stabilized people's hearts. Although these people received severance pay and had no worries about food and clothing, they still had nothing to eat every day and felt uneasy. They all looked forward eagerly to Dongzhu Guo's morning. When I come back one day, everyone can continue working and doing business.
After waiting and waiting, the news finally came that Guo Dongzhu had returned to Guangzhou. The news was informed by someone sent by Sun Kecheng. The people of Zishi Enterprise couldn't help but rush to tell the news.
Shen Fan has returned to his hometown since he was demobilized, hiding from the limelight in the countryside. Because he is the chief executive of Zishi Enterprise, he is the key figure pursued by Tian Da. Before leaving Guangzhou, he was almost kidnapped by Tian Da's evil servants. Fortunately, he started to Wei then sent someone to protect him secretly, so that he could escape safely.
Shen Fan hid the entire list of Guangzhou station clerks and craftsmen, and escaped all the way to his hometown to avoid the limelight under the escort of his bodyguards. Unexpectedly, Tian Da was so rich that he actually sent officials through the local county government to arrest him. His family had no choice but to Under the escort of his bodyguard, he escaped overnight and lived in seclusion in Qiwei's outer cabinet for several months.
During the days of hiding, he was able to grasp the situation in Guangzhou through the communication network of Qiwei Escort. Although he was not as restless as the craftsmen below, he still had great doubts about whether Guo Dongzhu and others could return to Guangzhou - after all, Australia What people have to deal with is the government.
When the people from Qiwei's escort agency informed him that he was going back to Guangzhou to resume business, the old shopkeeper couldn't restrain his excitement and immediately got up and hurried to Guangzhou. After he arrived in Guangzhou, he first stayed at Qiwei's inn. People went out everywhere to notify the craftsmen who were scattered in various townships and even neighboring counties to come back and resume work. The whole inn was filled with joy for a while, waiting for the proprietor to come back and resume business.
At this moment, Shen Fan was standing first among the guys, and he couldn't restrain his excitement. Although he couldn't help his boss in this crisis, his boss was really "back". The young people were afraid when they heard this. The overwhelming power of the government was actually fought back by cannons. The Australians kept their word and their tough style of not fearing the powerful left a deep impression on him.
Seeing the sedan descending nearby, he opened the curtain. Guo Dongzhu leaned out from the sedan. He stamped his feet slightly and dusted off his sleeves. He looked like an unparalleled "king and dominator", and then , Miss Pei from the back also got off the sedan - she was still bright and gorgeous. Shen Fan suppressed the excitement in his chest, walked a few steps, knelt down with a big salute, and wanted to kowtow to Guo Yi. The Zi family present The employees and craftsmen of the group also knelt down with a cheer. Suddenly, there was a dark crowd of people kneeling in front of the door.
Guo Yi was surprised. He didn't expect these people to have such deep feelings for Zishi Enterprise. Seeing Shen Fan actually giving him a big gift, he quickly stepped forward and helped him up. Seeing that the old shopkeeper was already in tears His face was full of tears and he was choked with sobs and couldn't speak. Guo Yi himself didn't feel a little sad inside - this is probably what the so-called "loyalty" means. He sighed in his heart.
"Everyone, please get up!" Guo Yi calmed down and glanced at everyone, "We have been apart for a long time. You have suffered. I also said at that time that we would eventually return to Guangzhou, revive our old careers, and let everyone go. Use firecrackers to reopen the store." At this point, he felt his eyes were a little wet, "Come on! Bring the firecrackers!"
"Come!" Shen Fan greeted. A waiter had already prepared a hundred high-altitude cannons and ten thousand-character whips. The Huifu Street was densely packed.
Guo Yi picked up the incense stick and lit a high-rise medicine twister. Then, the high-rise cannon and the ten-thousand-character whip went off one after another. The sound of firecrackers was deafening and the smoke filled the whole Huifu Street.
Guo Yi is sitting in the flower hall. The originally magnificently furnished flower hall is now empty. Even the chair under his butt and the table in front of him were temporarily bought from a secondhand shop - the ancients did not have the concept of a furniture store. Furniture You have to hire craftsmen to make them. If you want to buy ready-made furniture, you can only buy old ones.
Twelve windows made by skilled craftsmen and inlaid with glass have disappeared. The greedy government officials not only took away all the property and furniture that can be moved, but also the building materials that can be dismantled. Guo Yi has just gone I visited Zichengji’s wine shop. The distillers and atmospheric boilers inside were destroyed by them before they were removed to avoid being used by others. Now when I saw them again, they were in dilapidated condition and many parts were missing. .Apparently someone dismantled these things and moved them somewhere, and recently moved them back.
Almost none of the money-making things returned from the government were intact. Guo Yi looked at them and shook his head. Most of them were probably only worth dismantling and recycling materials. As for general daily utensils, there was even a pot and a pot in the kitchen. There were no bowls left. It was difficult to boil water to drink.
Finally, Sun Kecheng and Shen Fan organized people to clean the house several times a few days ago. The weeds in the yard were also pulled out.
Even so, this once prosperous industry is still in a state of decline.
"It's really a waste." Guo Yi sighed.
"Where will I sleep..." Pei Lixiu took a look at her original boudoir on Weifu Street - it was called "a house with four walls", not to mention Ziming Tower. She and Zheng Shangjie originally wanted to return to Ziming Tower immediately.
She went downstairs to check on the situation. But shopkeeper Sun asked her to go back tomorrow - the place was still being cleaned. I'm afraid it wouldn't be habitable.
"You and Zheng Shangjie should stay at Qiwei's inn for the night. I have asked shopkeeper Sun to prepare a deluxe room. It is equipped with a bathroom and is very clean." Guo Yi asked people to set up a camp bed in his bedroom first.
Get a desk for office use.
"I'm not going to live there anymore. Give me a temporary bed. I'll think about the plan to restore Ziming Tower tonight." Zheng Shangjie is very enterprising and feels that she can overcome it by living in a simpler way.
Guo Yizhao first posted notices outside his residence on Weifu Street, Zichengji, Zizhenzhai and Ziminglou, "We will resume business soon. All friends of our store and house are kindly requested to report for reinstatement within three days." Although it is open.
Most people have already reported back, but there are still some people who have not been contacted.
As for the furniture in the house, daily necessities and items used in the store, we immediately find craftsmen to make them, regardless of the cost, and ask carpenters to make them as soon as possible. Some can be bought from thrift stores, so buy them from thrift stores first. But Guo
Yi requires that you buy good things and not just make them simple.
"It's easy. There are a lot of big sellers of 'grabbed goods' here in Guangzhou recently. There are a lot of good things in the second-hand shops, not to mention furniture, there are also furnishings to choose from!" Shen Fan said with a smile. He will be very busy right now.
Without moving his feet, he rushed back and forth to make arrangements. Guo Yi gave him a coupon from Delong Guangzhou Branch, which he could use to make payments at will.
"Oh? What's going on?" Guo Yi asked curiously.
"Not all Australians..." Shen Fan lowered his voice, but couldn't help but want to laugh, "The officers and soldiers suffered a huge defeat in Qiongzhou Prefecture. The civilian and military generals who led the troops were killed and captured. They were captured.
Those who want ransom money will have to be punished when they return to the court. Those who are guilty want to be freed, and those who are not guilty want to be promoted. It is simply a mess... Don't we all need to spend money to clear it up?"
"I see." Guo Yi thought that our victory in Chengmai had indeed taught these officials a harsh lesson.
"Nowadays, there are also people selling land and houses. If the owner is interested, he can also secretly see if there is a suitable one."
"You can look at it for me first. If you find something suitable, you can report it later."
"Yes. There are quite a lot of people involved in Guangdong's officialdom this time." Shen Fan has no feelings for the Ming Dynasty. He has no sympathy for these common people and the unlucky officials who are domineering. "Don't worry, proprietor, I
Take Zhou Cai to buy it, others call it Zhou Peipi. I must give these dirty officials a good squeeze to vent their anger on you, the proprietor - there are a lot of good things in these officials' hands."
"Okay, go ahead." Guo Yi nodded.
Guo Yi's boat brought along a construction team from Lingao Construction Corporation to repair residences and industries. He also brought some building materials that may be used: such as large glass. But now it seems that the damage to the house
It far exceeded his expectation. The quantity and type of materials prepared were not enough. Boilers, distillers, sanitary ware, etc. all had to be ordered from Lingao. Guo Yi knew that the situation of Ziming Building would only be worse than here.
Oops - a lot of the "KidKat" stuff inside is probably useless, and maybe even the water pipes and faucets have been removed.
