Chapter 3299 Xinghui Entertainment Heads North to Beijing
The city of Sijiu, the headquarters of nine ministries.
It's the height of summer in July, and the sun at eight or nine in the morning is absorbing the world's attention, trying to make everyone notice its existence.
Unfortunately, pedestrians could only lower their heads and quicken their pace in response to its arrival, muttering something like, "It's so hot today."
In front of the office building, Liu Feng quickly parked his bicycle, wiped the sweat from his chin, and then carried the red bag toward the office building.
In this sweltering heat, even a little bit of sun exposure makes you feel like you're about to be dried out.
With a burst of speed, Liu Feng rushed into the office building.
Instantly, a cool breeze swept over me, bringing a refreshing sensation.
"Headquarters is still the best place. These big fans are really powerful."
Liu Feng looked up at the rotating ceiling fan above the hall. It was spinning rapidly, blowing a cool breeze that seemed to wipe away all the sweat on his body.
Of course, this place is far inferior to a research institute.
The office building uses ceiling fans, but the research institute has air conditioning.
The area inside and outside that gate was like two completely different worlds.
Of course, no one would object to the research institute receiving such treatment, as it studies secrets concerning the future of the Nine Departments.
The future of the Nine Departments is equally crucial to the revolutionary cause.
So, what's wrong with using the air conditioner?
Standing under the ceiling fan for a moment, I felt as if the fan had blown all over me from head to toe, and I instantly felt refreshed.
Immediately, Liu Feng carried his things inside.
"Liu Feng! Good morning!"
"morning!"
"Officer Liu! Good morning!"
After walking a few steps, everyone I encountered greeted me warmly.
After the previous "hugging" incident, he left the performing arts troupe.
He then led a team to Japan to "make amends," and upon his return, he became an officer in the headquarters' security department, under Yang Zhi's supervisory brigade.
My work situation has stabilized, and I've also made significant progress in my personal life.
His relationship with He Xiaoping has come to the forefront, and they are about to get married, which gives him a new source of emotional support.
"Liu Feng?"
A familiar voice came from behind him, and Liu Feng turned his head to see Lou Xiao'e holding a stack of documents.
"Good morning, Sister Xiao'e!"
"I'll do it! I'll do it!"
He then enthusiastically stepped forward to help.
Taking a stack of documents, Lou Xiao'e squinted and smiled, "Is this wedding candy? Congratulations!"
"You're here to see General Manager Yang, right?"
Liu Feng nodded with a smile, "Yes, yes, we got our marriage certificate yesterday, but the wedding will be held in a couple of days!"
What number?
"August 1st!"
"A good day!"
"Haha, I think so too!"
The two chatted and laughed before going upstairs to Yang Xiaotao's office.
In the office, Yang Xiaotao sat at his desk signing documents, while Liu Lixue, holding a folder, was explaining the day's schedule.
"General Manager Yang, Mr. Chen requests your presence this morning. Also attending will be colleagues from foreign trade and internal affairs..."
"Chang Mingjie from the machine tool factory has submitted a research application for a new type of CNC machine tool. They have already finalized the plan and need you to visit the site..."
"The colleagues from the Jinling Institute of Radar Technology (No. 14) have also submitted a design report for a new radar, which we would like you to review..."
"The Third Ministry of Machine Building submitted a progress report on the development of the Panda fighter jet..."
"Peng called to inquire about the production progress of our Eagle fighter jets..."
Yang Xiaotao only put down his pen after Liu Lixue finished explaining all the arrangements.
Yang Xiaotao was already used to the current situation and didn't feel much about it.
If I had to express my feelings, it would be that I didn't have time to feel anything.
"When will the meeting with Elder Chen begin?"
"They didn't say. I'll check with Secretary Guo later."
"Did you say something?"
"No, but Secretary Guo said the matter might be very urgent!"
Yang Xiaotao nodded, then continued, "Let Chang Mingjie do it himself first. Submit the materials and funding plan for Lao Chen to review. If there are no problems, start construction as soon as possible."
"The same arrangements will be made at the Jinling Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, but we are cooperating with Jinling Aeronautical Academy, so let them help out as well."
As he spoke, Yang Xiaotao picked up the water glass on the table and took a sip. He continued, "Wu Zhe will handle the aircraft issue. You follow up on Yu Ziming's situation. The Eagle fighter jet should be ready by now!"
"Ok!"
Liu Lixue responded and quickly returned to her seat to prepare for work. At this moment, the door opened, and Lou Xiao'e walked in with Liu Feng, who was carrying documents.
"Mr. Yang, Sister Liu!"
Liu Feng, carrying his things, greeted the two men while holding a red cloth bag.
Yang Xiaotao put down his pen and laughed, "Oh ho, these are wedding candies!"
Liu Feng quickly stepped forward and placed the bag on Yang Xiaotao's desk. "Mr. Yang, this is maltose I bought locally!"
"Really? I've heard their maltose is famous; I must try it."
Yang Xiaotao smiled and took out two pieces of candy. Liu Lixue also stepped forward to take some and asked, "How did it go? Did you see your father-in-law?"
Liu Feng smiled and nodded, "I met him. He's the head of the grade level at school now, and he also teaches math!"
"A monthly salary of over thirty yuan is enough to live comfortably..."
At this point, Liu Feng looked at Yang Xiaotao with gratitude in his eyes.
He overheard it from his father-in-law; otherwise, even if General Manager Yang had given the order, his father-in-law would still be smashing clods of dirt in the village.
Seeing Liu Feng looking over, Yang Xiaotao just smiled and then said, "Xiaoping and I stayed there for two nights. My father-in-law said work was important, so he told us to come back. As for meeting the parents, we can do that on the day of the banquet."
When are you going to hold the banquet?
"Don't worry, the money for the gift will definitely be delivered!"
Liu Lixue kept asking questions from the side. Although she was not married, she was very interested in joining in the fun.
"August 1st!"
"I'll definitely send the invitations!"
Yang Xiaotao nodded with a smile, "Then you'd better prepare some wine!"
"Definitely, definitely!"
Seeing that Yang Xiaotao was still busy, Liu Feng finished speaking and left with the bag.
Looking at the maltose on the table, Yang Xiaotao remembered that he ate this stuff when he got married.
More than a decade has passed in the blink of an eye!
"Mr. Yang."
Just as Yang Xiaotao was lost in thought, Lou Xiao'e spoke up from the side, and Yang Xiaotao hummed in response, "What's wrong?"
Lou Xiao'e stepped forward and said, "President Yang, I ran into Director Yang when I came over just now."
"Old Yang? What's wrong?"
"Isn't he busy with the radio station?"
Yang Xiaotao didn't take it seriously. Ever since the TV station in the Ninth Division was launched, Yang Youning had devoted all his attention to it.
These days, they don't care about the work at headquarters anymore; they just dump it on their subordinates.
Fortunately, the current nine-part series doesn't need much promotion, or rather, the existence of the television station itself is the best form of promotion.
Otherwise, Yang Xiaotao would have dragged him back to work in no time.
"Yes, but I heard this time it's related to Hong Kong."
After Lou Xiao'e finished speaking, Liu Lixue immediately became interested.
She was aware of this, and Yang Xiaotao naturally understood as well.
There were just a lot of things to do right now, so I didn't take this seriously.
"What's wrong? What kind of trouble have you gotten yourself into now?"
Lou Xiao'e shook her head, then whispered, "It seems like they're planning a get-together. Director Yang wants to release a song, preferably a collaboration between singers from both sides of the strait; that would be very meaningful."
Lou Xiao'e spoke softly, but her gaze remained fixed on Yang Xiaotao's face.
As for Liu Lixue, she guessed Lou Xiao'e's meaning when Lou Xiao'e mentioned the chorus. But this girl doesn't even know what time it is; there's a pile of documents on the table. It's no wonder General Manager Yang wouldn't agree.
As expected, Yang Xiaotao simply grunted in response, then pretended not to know and began reviewing the documents.
Lou Xiao'e wanted to probe further, but Liu Lixue stepped forward and pulled her aside, then walked up to Yang Xiaotao and said, "President Yang, Secretary Guo has sent a letter. Just arrive at 10:30 this morning."
Yang Xiaotao nodded, glanced at the time; there was still more than an hour left, so he continued with his work.
Liu Lixue took the opportunity to pull Lou Xiao'e aside and ask what happened.
Lou Xiao'e glanced at Yang Xiaotao, then lowered her voice and said, "Director Yang organized people to compose three songs, but he was not satisfied with any of them. He's so anxious that he's got blisters on his lips."
"I just happened to run into this situation. Director Yang asked me to come and inquire, to be on the grounds."
Liu Lixue also looked at Yang Xiaotao, and finally said, "Didn't we rap about being a loving family?"
"Why change it now?"
"I don't know."
The two whispered to each other, but Yang Xiaotao ignored them; who could concentrate on singing at a time like this?
Around 10 a.m., Yang Xiaotao arrived at Mr. Chen's office by car.
As soon as I entered, I saw Li Rong sitting opposite Old Chen, chatting and laughing, her voice faintly revealing the words "Hong Kong".
"You two leaders, you're having such a lively discussion, we can hear you right outside the door."
"But even in this sweltering heat, we still need to turn on the air conditioning. What if someone gets heatstroke?"
Yang Xiaotao walked in with beads of sweat on his face. He thought the office would be cooler, but it felt like a furnace as soon as he entered, especially since the office faced the sun and the large glass windows made it even hotter.
"Is it hot?"
Old Chen chuckled and asked in return, then looked at Li Rong, "Do you feel hot?"
Li Rong shook her head, "No, I think it's alright."
"It's not even the hottest time of summer yet."
Then he glanced at Yang Xiaotao and said, "Maybe it's because young people have more energy."
Yang Xiaotao found a chair and sat down. "Okay, I've probably been really angry these past two days."
He then vigorously wiped the sweat from his forehead, making Old Chen shake his head in disbelief.
"We're old folks, we can't stand the cold air from the air conditioner. If you're hot, go sit there and use the fan."
After Mr. Chen finished speaking, Yang Xiaotao immediately got up and walked away, then turned on the fan and started blowing himself.
Seeing this, Old Chen and Li Rong laughed again.
"We were just discussing computers here, and your Ninth Department has really done a great job this time."
As Mr. Chen spoke with satisfaction, Li Rong also smiled and said, "We bought a batch of computers from Southeast Asia last time, but now they say it's not enough."
"I plan to buy some more this time."
"Still want to buy?"
Yang Xiaotao shook his head speechlessly, "Boss, selling these to others would be profitable, but selling them to these people, we can't even make as much money as selling one unit out of three. It's a loss."
"What loss? Don't just focus on money, you need to think long-term."
Old Chen picked up his teacup and took a sip. On such a hot day, drinking cold tea was much more refreshing.
Yang Xiaotao looked around and, realizing he didn't have any tea, got up and started to fetch his own.
"What do you mean by taking a long-term view? Those guys never learn from their mistakes. As long as we become strong, when our fleet and aircraft take a stroll over there, will they still dare to say a word against us?"
Yang Xiaotao spoke bluntly, and Old Chen shook his head in response.
He secretly planned to keep Yang Xiaotao away from Boss Peng in the future, so that this good worker-leader wouldn't go astray.
"Alright, put away your little schemes. We'll give you a discount on the computers we sell to them later, so you won't lose out."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Xiaotao immediately picked up the kettle and refilled the water for Old Chen and his companion. "Leader, we have no choice. Your one trillion is like a huge rock, making it hard for us to breathe."
"Nonsense, you seem to be breathing very well."
"Haha, this is a final burst of energy before death."
"Sit down to one side."
Old Chen waved his hand, and Yang Xiaotao quickly sat back down in his original spot.
Then Old Chen spoke again, "I called you here today because there's something I want to tell you."
What's your opinion on Hong Kong artists wanting to move north?
"Is the leader referring to Star Shine Entertainment?"
Yang Xiaotao asked in return, and Old Chen nodded. Then Li Rong added from the side, "Star Shine Entertainment is developing very rapidly and has become an important entertainment company in Hong Kong."
"This year they launched two men and two women, and their reputation in Hong Kong is gradually growing."
"In addition, they are preparing to shoot TV series and movies, so it can be said that they are at the height of their popularity."
"The reasons for coming to Beijing this time are twofold: first, to strengthen ties with the rest of the country, since this is our own territory; and second, to expand our reputation through television."
Li Rong briefly explained the situation, a smile always on her face.
Many of the people in this so-called Star Shine Entertainment are people who came to Hong Kong from the mainland, and the people in charge of operating Star Shine Entertainment are Li San and his group from Hong Kong.
Furthermore, the collaboration with local Hong Kong law firms, along with the recording equipment and tape technology provided by mainland China, enabled Star Overseas Entertainment to rise rapidly.
Of course, there were also people secretly protecting and supporting them.
After Li Rong finished speaking, Yang Xiaotao finally understood what Elder Chen and Elder Chen meant.
Let's deepen the ties between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait.
This is easy.
"Sir, let's entrust this matter to Comrade Yang Youning. He's an expert in publicity work!"
Yang Xiaotao passed the buck directly to Yang Youning. Old Chen and Li Rong were not surprised, after all, Yang Youning was in charge of the propaganda department of the Ninth Department.
However, Li Rong spoke again, "This matter can be left to Comrade Yang Youning, but there is another matter that you need to handle personally."
"Is there anything else?"
Yang Xiaotao was somewhat puzzled, but Old Chen's expression turned serious. "Do you remember when the British came last time?"
"Britain? Those people who buy medicine?"
"Yes, they sent people again this time, coming along with the Xinghui Entertainment group."
Mr. Chen nodded and said, "I received a satellite phone call yesterday, saying they wanted to come and discuss cooperation."
Yang Xiaotao frowned. "Since we're talking about cooperation, let's be open and aboveboard. Hiding around like this is never a good thing."
Li Rong shook her head. "You know about our relationship with the United States."
“They’re now on the same side as the United States. If they find out they’ve been secretly contacting us, then all cooperation is off the table.”
Yang Xiaotao snorted coldly, "Haven't we cooperated with the United States enough?"
"Sneaking around like that, no class at all."
"No wonder things have been getting worse over the years."
"Alright, alright, just say less."
Old Chen interrupted, then said, "After discussing it, we think the main purpose of their visit is the computer."
"I can't think of anything else besides that."
Yang Xiaotao nodded. "It should be a computer."
"However, our order book is full until next year, so they'll have to wait in line if they want to get one."
Yang Xiaotao wasn't going to tolerate these guys. He was just trying to make money from whoever he wanted, so why not sell to people he felt comfortable with?
Given Britain's nature, they probably wouldn't be able to produce anything worthwhile even if they came.
"I will have my colleagues in foreign trade handle this first. If necessary, you need to cooperate to complete the task."
Finally, it was Old Chen who spoke up, and Yang Xiaotao immediately stood up and nodded to Li Rong, "No problem."
After finishing their work discussion, Yang Xiaotao and Li Rong left the office together.
"Aunt Rong, how did they get here? By train?"
"No, by plane."
"When?"
"tomorrow!"
"So fast?"
Li Rong smiled and nodded, "Of course we're benefiting from their influence, so you should give them some face later."
Yang Xiaotao was speechless. "Am I that kind of person?"
"Yes!"
Okay, I'm completely speechless.
