Chapter 996: Digging Into Socialism

After hearing this, the old man pondered for a long time and did not speak for a long time.

Shi Lei could only hear the old man's slight breathing through the receiver.

After a long time, he said: "You kid, you really know how to find time to take advantage of loopholes. Your idea does have merit, but from the bottom up, you are serving the country and the people, but from the top down, you are just poking holes. Socialism is in the corner..."

Shi Lei quickly interrupted the old man's words: "Chief, please don't slap me with a big hat. This hat is too heavy. I'm afraid I can't bear it. Besides, poaching the corners of socialism, such an old word... …”

The old man sneered and said, "Don't tell me that you plan to directly use cash to purchase the green bicycles made by the government..."

Shi Lei scratched his head, chuckled, and said: "The funds will be withdrawn at a certain speed, but this does not affect the fact that I will eventually pay out real money. Moreover, as the usage rate of these bicycles has dropped again and again, something related to this project has The placement of staff is also a huge cost. If I take over those bicycles, the government can at least stop the increase in costs. I will also try my best to encourage them to stay and use them. This is also a cost. . Furthermore, the modification of bicycles requires maintenance and modification. In fact, the cost is not much less than directly manufacturing a bicycle, plus a series of costs such as the removal of fixed piles. If we buy it directly, I would rather ask the bicycle factory to speed up production. "

The old man scoffed at this and said, "Businessmen pursue profits. If you don't make any money, why would you come to me like this?"

"Profit-seeking is for sure, but to be honest, if there is any profit in acquiring these bicycles, it is also a consideration to expand the market size and free up funds after deferred payment. When it comes to these green bicycles themselves, the current calculated results are really There is no benefit. The manufacturing cost of a bicycle, from manufacturing to integrated chip modules, etc., is only more than one hundred yuan. And the cost of modification, taking into account the placement of personnel and the removal of stakes, is only 100 yuan per bicycle. It’s more than a hundred. This is a second-hand car. If you think that I can directly make a profit from the price difference, I will be wronged.”

"Okay, don't complain to me. I will ask someone to do an accounting on this matter later. If the cost is really what you said, I will consider helping you."

"Oh, thank you so much, Chief!"

"Don't be so glib with me. I haven't promised you yet. I just agreed to let the subordinates do some investigations."

"As long as you do your research, you will definitely find that the cost of purchasing a green bicycle is almost no less than the cost of directly manufacturing a bicycle. This means you have already agreed!"

The old man couldn't help but laugh. He said: "I'm getting older, and when it comes to retirement, I still have no guarantee of retirement. I actually have to help businessmen like you with advertisements and even endorsements every now and then."

"How about I give you some token endorsement fee?"

"Do you want me to retire early?" The old man's voice became stern.

Shi Lei hurriedly smiled and said: "It's just one yuan of soft girl coins, it won't be a big deal."

"Don't make such a joke with me. Just what you said just now, I can have someone arrest you with the intention of bribing officials."

"Chief, please don't scare me."

The old man breathed out softly and said: "Remember to explain clearly to Ziyan, I will ask someone to calculate the cost and give you a final answer as soon as possible. Don't think too much, this cost is related to what you ultimately want. The money paid to the government is directly linked."

"Okay! You calculate other costs first, and then I guarantee that the cash given will not make you think that I am poaching the socialist corner."

The old man snorted and put down the phone.

Shi Lei looked at the phone that had gone silent, shook his head and said, "Not polite."

However, the old man's side was basically settled, and Shi Lei was very happy. He took a shower and saw a message from Song Miaomiao on his phone, asking him to go downstairs.

Shi Lei changed his clothes and went downstairs with his mobile phone.

Wu You had already gone upstairs to sleep first, while Song Miaomiao and Song Ziyan were drinking red wine in the living room.

Seeing that Song Miaomiao opened a bottle of Li Qi Bao, Shi Lei shook his head and sighed: "You really don't save money for me, Li Qi Bao!"

Song Miaomiao rolled her eyes and said, "Can't I afford to drink it myself? I'll ask Yao Er to deliver a box and return it to you tomorrow!"

Song Ziyan cast his eyes on the sofa and said, "Sit."

Shi Lei scratched his head and thought to himself, this is my home, why do I act like you two are the owners.

Sitting next to Song Ziyan, Shi Lei was a little flattered when Song Ziyan took the initiative to pour him a glass of wine.

He said: "Have you contacted the old man?"

Shi Lei looked at Song Ziyan and thought that you really know everything, so he said, "Well, you always have to say hello."

"What did the old man say?"

Shi Lei remembered the old man's advice and said: "He asked me what you and Aunt Wu's next plans were, and I didn't hide it from him. I didn't dare to hide it. After all, it involved a former high-ranking official leaving the country. Originally, I also I was a little worried about whether the old man would think it was wrong for you two to go abroad. But unexpectedly, he said that this is the best choice, and many people should try to stop you from staying in the country. "

Song Ziyan looked at Shi Lei and said, "I have been engaged in political struggle for so many years. Don't I still know the stakes here? My going abroad will indeed make some people worried, but it will make more people feel relieved. You are following this nonsense What's wrong? Does the old man have any advice?"

Shi Lei nodded and said, "Am I inexperienced? You thought of it, but I couldn't think of it. That's why I asked the old man for details. He also said the same, saying that you must have figured everything out. Make such a decision. Then, he asked me to tell you not to have contact with any politically related figures after going abroad. After all, I wanted to introduce the Mayor of London to you. He is a good person. There is still a chance to go further. Now it seems that I am young and inexperienced.”

Song Ziyan was noncommittal and said, "That's not all I have to tell you."

Shi Lei scratched his head again and thought, isn't this enough? How did Song Ziyan know that the old man must have confessed?

Song Miaomiao interjected from the side: "Not having contact with foreign political figures is something that must be done. What doesn't my dad understand? Why does the old man need to explain it specifically? Since he has explained it, it must be someone else. things.”

Shi Lei curled his lips and said: "The old man also said that since Aunt Wu decided to invest in Li Qianhaocheng's company, this is a good choice. Because this way you can stay in London..."

Song Ziyan understood, and he said with a wry smile: "It's better to let the agents keep an eye on us... That's fine, that way, we can live completely under their noses, and we don't have to stay in the country and make people dislike us. Is he following You said, since we have chosen London, we should never leave again?”

Shi Lei shrugged, raised his wine glass and stretched it out. He didn't say anything, but he just acquiesced.

"Tell him later that I will plant grass and raise flowers in the suburbs of London for the rest of my life, and I will never leave again. Wu You will inevitably go on business trips, etc., and you also tell them not to be so nervous. I still want to watch When Miaomiao gets married and has children, she will no longer have any inappropriate thoughts or practices. "

Shi Lei was silent, nodded, and drank the red wine in his glass.

2.

Another friend said that these chapters seem to have nothing to do with the main plot, but the author wants to say that it really has nothing to do with the main plot.

A book contains millions of words, but there are always holes to be buried. Plots that seem unrelated now will have a huge impact on the main plot later. In this section, the author can tell you that it will play an extremely important role in Master Shi in the future. It is impossible for the author to write so many chapters specifically for Song Ziyan and Wu You, and then abandon them abroad.

Be patient, the outline is always going down, and when you get to the relevant content, you will find that this paragraph is not only useless, but also really important.

Without spoiling too much, you can take a guess.
