Chapter 207 Loved
Cross the river by feeling the stones.

This sentence is a classic quote in the history of China's 30 years of reform and opening up. It was often seen and heard on wall bulletin boards and TV news in those years. As for who said this, it is no longer clear, but no matter who said it, this sentence fully illustrates one point: the reform of state-owned enterprises is a process of continuous trial and error, improvement, trial and error again, and improvement again.

In this process of constant trial and error and improvement, taking big steps would be criticized, because no one knew at the time where this movement would take China.

Zhang Yunqi is naturally an exception.

he knows.

He even knew that in 20 years, Ronald Harry Coase, one of the greatest economists of the 1978th century, the founder of new institutional economics, and Nobel Prize winner in economics, would write in his book Transforming China that "China's reform and opening-up movement since is the most successful economic reform movement in human history since World War II."

Of course, as far as the current situation is concerned, Zhang Yunqi is also very clear that Huo Jianzhong does not have the courage and power to make the final decision. To put it bluntly, the acquisition plan of Longjingyuan Cannery proposed by him is a gift for free. This is definitely the first and only case in the current state-owned enterprise property rights reform in Jiangchuan City and even in the entire southern Hunan Province.

You have to know that this is not the late 1990s when the reform of state-owned enterprise property rights continued to deepen. In the late 1990s and early 21st century, "Huo sold all" and "Huo sent all" were everywhere across the country.

However, in 1993, the reform of the property rights system of state-owned enterprises had just begun, and the Third Plenary Session of the th Central Committee had been held for less than a month, and the "Decision on Some Issues Concerning the Establishment of a Socialist Market Economic System" had just been promulgated. All localities were crossing the river by feeling the stones. If Chengnan District accepted his acquisition plan, the gap would be quite large and the step would be quite big. If the reform was unsuccessful and did not bring corresponding economic benefits, it would inevitably bring about very great criticism and opposition. Huo Jianzhong could not and dared not to resist it!
But the reality right now is that the Longjingyuan Cannery has a debt of nearly 10 million yuan just hanging there, and more than 200 workers without food and clothing are waiting for food. Except for Zhang Yunqi, no investor in Jiangchuan City dares to take it over even if it is given away for free!
This matter is no longer up to Huo Jianzhong to decide.

Frankly speaking, he was in a difficult situation now. Zhang Yunqi refused to give in on fundamental issues, so there was no way to continue the talks. He could only prepare to report to his superiors on the acquisition plan of the Longjingyuan Cannery proposed by Zhang Yunqi. As for the moment, after the initial discussion, both sides felt that there was nothing more to argue about, so they just called it a day.

After leaving the reception room, Zhang Yunqi talked with Wang Guibing about the company's establishment. The registration of a new company, finding an office location, and office decoration were very complicated, and he could not take care of them all, so he asked Wang Guibing to take charge.

When he reached the door, Zhang Yunqi thought of something else: "Oh, by the way, you can ask Duan Yongping for help and get a luxury car from him. Then you can include the car in the assets of the new company."

Wang Guibing has been studying the matter of buying a car for a long time.

As a vice president, he always feels it is unworthy to ride a motorcycle, so he has been taking taxis recently.

He has been thinking about buying a Santana, which costs about 100,000 yuan. It is a bit expensive, but it doesn’t matter. The main thing is that it will be very cool to drive it!

Now the boss wants to buy a luxury car in the name of the new company, which is good! However, there are few 4S stores in China these days, and luxury cars are basically imported. But he knows that compared with those second-hand dealers in the mainland, the developed coastal areas are the first to open the trend. There are more of these things, and they are damn cheap. If you have a way, you can easily get a % discount.

He asked, "Boss, what kind of car do you like, what price range and what brand? How about a Passat worth about 200,000 yuan?"

Zhang Yunqi felt that this guy looked down on others: "Not very good, the starting price is 60, choose the Duke, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz."

Wang Guibing gave a thumbs-up in fear: "Great! Boss!"

******
A day later, it was a sour Monday.

Zhang Yunqi started his hard journey of studying again.

English teacher Lorraine is becoming more and more beautiful and emotional.

Her weekly English tutoring classes have always been carried out without interruption, and Zhang Yunqi has not let her down. He has never been absent and has been very serious. When he has nothing to do, he will go home at night to study with his sister Chunlan. His English grades have also improved significantly. However, perhaps it is because they have gradually become familiar with each other, or it may be that Zhang Yunqi is more mature. After tutoring, Luo Lin chats with him on a wider range of topics, including life, dreams, and family.

In private, the two seemed like close friends regardless of age, but Zhang Yunqi had no other ideas. She had a happy family and her children were old enough to help with cooking. However, chatting with such a woman was indeed more interesting and in-depth! Because she was mature, intellectual, slightly plump, thoughtful, and exuded the radiance of motherhood.

Yan Shi is still as ugly as ever. Of course, no matter how ugly a person is, they are all human beings! They all have human rights! They should not be discriminated against! They all have the right to ask the top student Zhang Yunqi for help!

Zhang Yunqi's attitude towards Yan Shi is really good. When teaching her how to do the questions, he is as patient as when he taught his own mother how to use WeChat in his previous life. But there is nothing he can do. This little girl is prone to low self-esteem and always likes to ask him for help with questions. If he is not careful, she will feel that her life is bleak.

The old class teacher Wang Mingzhen still lives like a hermit. When you are this old man's student, you can change seats freely, and the class monitor takes turns. No matter how bad your grades are, you will not be scolded. As long as you don't break the rules, you will be free. Except for showing off on the podium with his cynical mustache, he never pays attention to anyone. Even in front of the toilet, he always looks like he is going to fuck the sky.

The girls in the class still talked about childish topics every day. During the break, they would talk about trivial matters about a certain star as if it were a fashionable and cutting-edge topic, and use it to show off that they were keeping up with the trend of the times, or they were proud to be fans of a certain star. On the contrary, Wang Xiaokai often made some thought-provoking and shocking insights.

For example, one time Zhang Yunqi was taking a nap in the boys' dormitory, Wang Xiaokai was reading a book on the upper bunk, and Tian Zhuangzhuang, who was sleeping on the lower bunk, was reading a few pieces of paper with great interest.

It was a martial arts novel, but it was torn into countless pieces by the boys in the class. The torn pieces were full of the infinite wisdom of the people and were extremely methodical. There must be a thrilling battle in the first few pages of each small copy.

Sixteen or seventeen years old is the age for seeking knowledge and learning.

After Tian Zhuangzhuang finished reading those pages eagerly, he excitedly kicked the upper bunk bed with his foot and said to Wang Xiaokai on top: "Hey, Kaizi, can you explain in detail what love is described in this book?"

"I want to do that to her." Wang Xiaokai said concisely.

"What about love?"

"Well! I miss her."

Zhang Yunqi was originally sleeping on the bed next to her, but he hadn't fallen asleep yet. After hearing these words, he tossed and turned in bed and couldn't fall asleep at all.

He thought about going to the classroom to read with Chu Jian.

Chu Jian usually stayed in the classroom at noon. When Zhang Yunqi arrived at Class 156, there were not many people in the classroom. Chu Jian was sitting in her seat. Perhaps she was sleepy, so she lay on the desk with her head tilted and her arms as a pillow, sleeping. The blanket fell to the ground. She was holding a book in her hands, which was "The Red and the Black" by Stendhal.

This book was bought by Zhang Yunqi.

But compared to the content of the book, he was more impressed by the few words left on the tombstone of this great philosopher after his death: "He rests here, having lived, loved, and written."

Thinking of this, Zhang Yunqi gently pulled "The Red and the Black" out of Chujian's hand, picked up the blanket and covered Chujian with it again. He had nothing else to do, so he sat next to Chujian and started reading "The Red and the Black".

It was noon in early winter.

Time was very quiet. The slanting light of winter shone on the newly replaced desks. The ivy outside the window hung down. Zhang Yunqi would occasionally turn his head to look at the girl beside him. Her pure white cotton coat smelled of the sun. But once, when he turned his head to look at her, her eyes were open, and her little face was still confused after waking up, but there was no sound.

The classroom was quiet.

When I first met her, she looked like a good girl, smiling at him.
