"Comrade, it's no use arguing with me. You can either wait at the door, or I'll have to call the public security comrades to have a chat with you."
Chen Yang looked at the obstinate receptionist and found himself incompatible with this profession.
At the guesthouse in Qinghe City, that girl got angry at him, and the receptionist in Shanghai was the same.
He had communicated well at the Shanghai No. 3 Radio Factory earlier, but with her, nothing would get through. She even talked about protecting the safety of the lodgers.
Watching Chen Yang being put in a difficult situation for the first time, Wang Baolin and Liu Xiangyu finally breathed a sigh of relief. This was more like it. How could anyone have everything go smoothly? That would be like being an immortal.
"Then I'll rent a room. I'll stay inside, so I should be able to get in, right?"
Chen Yang looked helpless. He really couldn't do anything to a pedantic girl, as this was her job.
"Unit introduction letter, household registration booklet, do you have them?"
The young girl glanced at Chen Yang, thinking, this guy, so fair and clean-looking, why does he look like a vagrant?
"I..."
Chen Yang was also choked for words. He had just left school, why would he bring these things? His student ID hadn't come yet, otherwise, he could try to use it to see if it would work.
"Comrade, look, why don't we discuss it? You're trying to protect the safety of the lodgers here, and I just want to find my friend."
"That's it. The person I'm looking for is Zhang Weiyang. He must be staying here. Could you check your accommodation registration book and help me ask? Just tell him Chen Yang is looking for him."
"If he doesn't want to see me, then forget I said anything. I'll leave immediately and won't bother you again."
"This won't affect your work. Just consider it helping out. I see you're working hard here. I'll buy you two bottles of soda to cool down."
"Comrade, please just help us out. We are both university students from East China University of Finance and Economics. These are our student IDs. He hasn't received his student ID yet this year. We finally got out of school for National Day, and we have to go back to class soon and can't get out."
As Chen Yang spoke, he was about to go to the nearby supply and marketing cooperative. Wang Baolin and Liu Xiangyu also took out their student IDs. Seeing them so serious and sincere, the receptionist felt embarrassed to refuse directly.
Revealing their identities as university students did have some effect. Except for the first few years, intellectuals were always respected.
"Then I'll go up and ask for you. If he doesn't want to see you, then I can't do anything."
The receptionist locked her drawer and went upstairs to the rooms. Chen Yang kept his word and turned to buy a case of Zheng Guanghe salt soda from the nearby guesthouse.
"Knock, knock, knock."
"Who is it?"
"Hello, I'm the receptionist from downstairs. Are you Zhang Weiyang? There's a Chen Yang downstairs who says he wants to see you. He wants to know if you agree."
"Chen, Chen Yang?!"
Hearing the receptionist, Zhang Weiyang found it incredible. He hadn't told Chen Yang he was coming to Shanghai.
Even if Lei Baoguo had written a letter to inform Chen Yang, the letter would definitely not have reached Anhui Province by now, let alone that Chen Yang was already in Shanghai.
What was going on? How did Chen Yang know he was in Shanghai? And how could he pinpoint his location?
Zhang Weiyang couldn't figure it out, but if he couldn't figure it out, he wouldn't bother. Big brother was omnipotent!
When he returned to the guesthouse with the soda, Zhang Weiyang saw him enter and immediately gave him a bear hug. Sudans novel network.
"Brother, I've missed you so much."
"It really is you. How did you find me!"
Zhang Weiyang rushed directly to Chen Yang, and the two big men hugged each other tightly. After all, they hadn't seen each other for months and really missed each other.
"I have my ways!"
"As long as Brother wants to find you, there will always be a way."
Chen Yang chuckled. He couldn't tell Zhang Weiyang that he had just inferred and verified it based on a sentence from Wang Baolin.
"Alright, alright, let's go out to talk. Let's not reminisce in broad daylight."
"Comrade, here, please have some soda to cool down."
Chen Yang untied the ties binding the bottles and handed two bottles to the receptionist.
The girl was still a bit embarrassed, but Chen Yang put them directly on the counter.
Then the four of them each had two bottles. The salt soda didn't last long and was finished in a few gulps. It wasn't expensive anyway, only a few mao a bottle.
"Weiyang, these are my two seniors from university, Wang Baolin and Liu Xiangyu. Lin Ge, Yu Ge, this is my brother, Zhang Weiyang."
After introducing each other, they nodded, acknowledging their acquaintance.
Zhang Weiyang, Wang Baolin, and Liu Xiangyu each had their own thoughts. Zhang Weiyang saw that they were all university students, and they were all talented. He himself had only a middle school education, so he looked up to them a bit.
Wang Baolin and Liu Xiangyu carefully observed Zhang Weiyang. This young man, being so young, had the ability to acquire a state-owned factory. Truly, appearances can be deceiving.
In this way, except for Chen Yang, the three of them had their own agendas.
Chen Yang, however, didn't pay attention to this. He planned to find a park to sit in. There were no private restaurants yet, let alone teahouses or coffee shops. It was really difficult to find a place to talk.
After wandering around for a while, they finally found a park with stone seats. There was shade, and a slight breeze from both sides, making it quite pleasant.
"Come, come, sit down."
"Weiyang, quickly tell me how you came to Shanghai to acquire radio factories. Have our Shanghai stores already been set up?"
Chen Yang looked at Zhang Weiyang. He had a belly full of questions now. After such a long time, how had the business developed? He didn't have a clear concept in his mind.
"Twelve stores have been opened in Shanghai. I think that's enough."
"Radios are selling well, but the market is somewhat saturated."
"A while ago, I saw people queuing up to buy televisions. Even a small black and white television set is much more expensive than a radio."
"I thought to myself, televisions are not much more complicated than radios. They just have a picture tube and a screen. If others can do it, why can't we try?"
Chen Yang nodded with satisfaction, listening to Zhang Weiyang. Zhang Weiyang's strategic vision was quite good and coincided with his own thoughts.
"So you found the Shanghai No. 3 Radio Factory? I heard that this factory, due to its weak product competitiveness, wants to introduce a television production line to switch to manufacturing televisions."
Chen Yang roughly understood why Zhang Weiyang had found the Shanghai No. 3 Radio Factory. The reason was that this radio factory's desired direction was the same as Zhang Weiyang's plan to make televisions.
"Brother, you saw through my intentions at a glance."
"I know. You set making televisions as our second-stage goal from the beginning. I just hadn't accomplished this task yet, so I wanted to try it myself without telling you."
Zhang Weiyang scratched the back of his head honestly. He hadn't sought permission from Chen Yang for this matter, and it was considered acting on his own initiative, so he felt a little embarrassed.
