The 800 yuan restaurant dividend brought home by Feng Xiaochen completely convinced Feng Li and his wife, making them believe that this son did have extraordinary vision and courage, and that what he did was something that the couple could not understand and imagine.

A few months ago, Feng Xiaochen advised his parents to take out money to set up an individual restaurant. At that time, Feng Li and his wife were in a state of half-believing and half-doubting, or the suspicion was far greater than the fact of faith. At that time, He Xuezhen talked to Feng Xiaochen for a long time, roughly saying that the money was saved for the two brothers to get married. If it was ruined like this, Feng Xiaochen should not expect his family to give money to get married. Feng Li was more optimistic than He Xuezhen. After carefully analyzing the individual restaurants on the street, he came to a conclusion that it was still possible to earn back the 600 yuan he invested.

No one expected that the actual income of this restaurant could be so high. According to Feng Xiaochen, he could make a profit of 1,000 yuan in a month, which is equivalent to the salary of Feng Li and his couple for more than half a year. He Xuezhen had some objections to Feng Xiaochen only getting back 800 yuan and leaving the rest of the money in Chen Shuhan's hands to expand reproduction, but he still did not object in the end. She comforted herself and said that the money her son had taken out had been taken back, and the remaining money was earned by him himself, so he could use it whatever he wanted. His son was able to chat and laugh with the deputy minister of the central government. Any trick he had to do was undoubtedly a Tusen break.

The main reason why He Xuezhen no longer cares about the other 2,000 yuan is actually the 10,000 mark foreign exchange brought back by Feng Xiaochen from Germany. With Yan Leqin, the mother-in-law who fell from the sky, He Xuezhen doesn’t have to worry about her son’s 48 legs getting together after getting married. As a person with overseas relations, he still counts on a single restaurant to make money for himself. Isn’t that strange?

On the other hand, Chen Shuhan, who accepted the dividend of 200 yuan at Feng Xiaochen's tough request, did not disappear for a second from the moment she got the money. She spent more than 40 yuan to buy a bunch of food and food, and returned home, piled up her mind in front of her mother, and took out 10 pieces of Datuanjie to hand it to her mother, saying that she had earned it herself and gave it to her family for the debts she still had in the factory.

The mother looked at the things and money, hugged Chen Shuhan and cried for a long time, then burst into tears and laughed. While telling Chen Shuhan to do things for others, she helped Chen Shuhan plan the future. Chen Shuhan was very happy at first, but when her mother talked about her marriage habitually, Chen Shuhan's face darkened, and the excuse that the restaurant was about to cook lunch, and she escaped from the house as if she was flying.

On the Spring Festival, people in Xinling often go to their relatives and friends' homes to pay New Year's greetings. Feng Li's family has been in Xinling for many years and has some relatives, colleagues, classmates, etc. who need to go around. Feng Xiaochen followed his parents' instructions to greet some elders. At the last stop, he arrived at Qiao Ziyuan, the director of the Nanjiang Metallurgy Department.

In the past, Feng Xiaochen was not qualified to come to Qiao Ziyuan's house to pay New Year's greetings. Although New Year's greetings reflect a kind of respect, it also requires qualifications to show this kind of respect. Otherwise, any temporary worker could go to the director's house to pay New Year's greetings. Wouldn't the director be exhausted to death?

But after a trip to Germany, Feng Xiaochen's status in Qiao Ziyuan's eyes was very different. Firstly, Feng Xiaochen showed outstanding abilities, far from comparable to those young workers in the Metallurgical Hall who only know how to play poker all day long; secondly, Qiao Ziyuan found that Feng Xiaochen was highly valued by Luo Xiangfei, and also heard that Meng Fanze, the old leader of the Industrial vent, also admired Feng Xiaochen. Feng Xiaochen had clearly become a rising star, and Qiao Ziyuan also wanted to win over this young man.

The third thing is that it is not something that is worthy of being told to foreigners. After Feng Xiaochen found overseas relations in Germany, he got some foreign exchange and exchanged a lot for Qiao Ziyuan. Although Qiao Ziyuan returned the full amount of RMB to Feng Xiaochen according to the foreign exchange price after returning to China, he and his wife knew that it was impossible to use RMB to exchange foreign exchange in China according to the exchange rate. If compared with the black market price, they would have taken a lot of advantage to Feng Xiaochen.

With these reasons, when Feng Xiaochen appeared at Qiao Ziyuan's doorstep with a bag of specialties Feng Li got from the countryside, he was warmly welcomed. After saying some official words such as "Why bring something?" with a stern face, Qiao Ziyuan personally took Feng Xiaochen's hand and let him into his living room. Mrs. Qiao Kong Fenying first emptied the things in Feng Xiaochen's net pocket, and then filled the net pocket with the wheat milk powder, milk powder, cans and other items given to him by others, saying that it was a gift to Feng Xiaochen's parents. Feng Xiaochen secretly estimated in his heart and found that the things that Kong Fenying stuffed into was at least twice as valuable than Feng Xiaochen brought.

"Xiaochen, how many days can I stay when I come back to Nanjiang this time?" Qiao Ziyuan and Feng Xiaochen got married.

"I have a family leave, and Director Luo has calculated how many days of compensatory leave for me. I can stay at home for 12 days." Feng Xiaochen replied.

Qiao Ziyuan said: "Yeah, that's great. Stay with your parents at home more often. You can go back to the Metallurgy Hall for a walk when you have time. This is your parents' home. Don't forget your parents' home if you go to the capital."

"How could it be? Without the training of Director Qiao and the Metallurgical Department, I, Xiao Feng, wouldn't be like today?" Feng Xiaochen also said clichés. He could say such words without even having to go through his brain.

"Xiaochen, eat some peanuts and peel some wine and chocolate to eat!" Kong Fenying arranged next to him, filling Feng Xiaochen with various foods as if feeding pigs.

"Thank you aunt. I just went to a few relatives' houses to pay New Year's greetings. I ate a lot of food, but I really couldn't eat it anymore." Feng Xiaochen begged repeatedly.

Kong Fenying piled half of the food on the coffee table to Feng Xiaochen, then stood up satisfied and said, "You chat with your Uncle Qiao, I'll go cook. Xiaochen, don't leave today, have supper here."

"Okay, auntie, I'm not here to eat. There are relatives at home tonight. My mother told me to go home for dinner." Feng Xiaochen was defeated by Kong Fenying's enthusiasm and had to move his mother out as a shield.

Kong Fenying went to the kitchen to work, and I don’t know if he really planned to keep Feng Xiaochen for dinner or their family had to cook dinner as well. Seeing her leaving, Feng Xiaochen breathed a sigh of relief, then turned his head and said to Qiao Ziyuan:

"Director Qiao, actually, I have another thing to do when I come back to Nanjiang this time, which is quite troublesome. I want to ask you to give me some advice."

"Oh, is that?"

Qiao Ziyuan put away his expression of laughter and showed some serious expression on his face. He took the cigarette box from the coffee table, took a cigarette for himself, and gestured to Feng Xiaochen. Feng Xiaochen waved his hand and said that he would not smoke. Qiao Ziyuan didn't force him, lighted the cigarette with the lighter, took a sip, and then said, "Tell me, what a trouble is, I'll see if I can help you solve it."

"That's right. Do you still remember that I found my grandmother who had been separated in Germany for many years? My grandmother has always been concerned about the construction of her hometown. After contacting us, she wanted to introduce a joint venture for her hometown to help the people in her hometown get rid of poverty as soon as possible." Feng Xiaochen said to Qiao Ziyuan again in the caution he had told Meng Fanze in the capital. He thought that Qiao Ziyuan should not be as sharp as Meng Fanze and would not guess the truth of this matter.

Sure enough, Qiao Ziyuan did not notice any flaws. His attention was all focused on the four words "joint venture", and his spirit was also boosted.

It was early 1981. It was not long before China opened its doors, and the progress of introducing foreign investment was very slow. In addition to several special zones and some traditional overseas Chinese hometowns, it was very difficult for central provinces and regions like Nanjiang to attract foreign investment. So far, there are only two joint ventures in Nanjiang Province. One is a color photography hall opened in Xinling. It was established by China and color photography technology equipment. It caused a huge sensation when it opened. The other is a clothing company engaged in incoming materials processing, which was jointly opened by foreign capital and a state-owned clothing factory in Xinling. The foreign side provided advanced equipment including electric tailoring, nail buckles, keyholes and other advanced equipment.

Since the scale of foreign investment introduced by provinces and regions is not large, this indicator has not yet been included in the performance assessment of local governments. However, having several joint ventures in their own province is still a kind of capital worthy of the pride of local officials. Therefore, local governments still attach great importance to attracting foreign investment, but no one has any way, so they can only quench their thirst.

Now, Feng Xiaochen actually ran to the door and said that he could introduce a foreign-invested enterprise, so how could Qiao Ziyuan not be moved? Yes, he is only the director of the Metallurgy Department, not the director of the Provincial Economic Committee or the director of the Foreign Trade Department, but if this matter was caused by his hands, would the province not remember his contribution?

"What type of enterprise is your grandma going to introduce? What kind of domestic enterprise do they want to find for joint ventures?" Qiao Ziyuan asked anxiously.

Feng Xiaochen said: "My grandma is a mechanical researcher. She has no funds herself. She must have found students she taught in the past to invest in China, so it is basically limited to the field of machinery."

"This is so easy to deal with. Our Metallurgical Department has more than a dozen large and medium-sized machinery factories, such as Nanjiang Metallurgical Machinery Factory and Puping Mining Machinery Factory. It is also a top-notch machinery company in the domestic metallurgical system. You can find any joint venture, and the department will strongly support it." Qiao Ziyuan said with great care.

"But, my grandma still has a wish, that is, to run this company to my hometown Tongchuan County." Feng Xiaochen pretended to be distressed and gave his own request.

"Tongchuan? How could he choose such a ghost..." Qiao Ziyuan responded subconsciously, and suddenly thought that Tongchuan was Feng Xiaochen's hometown, so he swallowed the last two words "Ghost Place".
