Chapter 476: Get Warm when It's Cold

There are no activities on the first day of the Chinese New Year, just playing cards.

There are very few ways to play in Shacheng, and it can even be said to be very simple. Poker is Doudizhu or upgrade. If it is gambling, it is Stud, Blackjack and the popular "Zha Er Ba".

Similar to "Zha Jinhua", only local gamblers and small bosses with some business will play.

As for mahjong, there are basically two types.

One is "Dui Dui Hu", which is played more by women; the other is "Chengjiang Mahjong", which is played more by men of the older generation.

The workers who stayed in Shacheng also played cards, but the upper limit of winning and losing was stipulated, and it was strictly forbidden to play "Blood Flowing into a River" and "Blood Fighting to the End" and other modes that are easy to continuously increase the scale of gambling.

This will make people from Sichuan and Chongqing feel unsatisfied, but they still abide by the regulations.

After all, once the unit discipline inspection is serious, it will really be fired.

Everyone plays a few games just as a co-worker, but there is no guarantee that they will become competitors one day.

"Wujia Agricultural Machinery" also knew that the team leader of "Zijin Technology" was promoted to workshop director.

At six o'clock, they set off firecrackers and cooked some small rice dumplings for the women to fill their stomachs. Zhang Haonan went to sleep, and even the dog curled up in the doghouse to digest the food.

When he woke up at noon, Shen Jinman had won more than 20 yuan from Zhao Dai. The little aunt looked like she had lost more than 2 million yuan, and her chest seemed to be bigger because of anger.

Zhang Haonan brushed his teeth while watching them play cards. To be honest, Fan Susu was really good. After Shen Jinman won more than 20 yuan from Zhao Dai, Zhao Dai won it back in two rounds.

Seeing this, Zhang Haonan gave her a light chestnut on the head.

"Hey, brother-in-law~~ why are you hitting me?"

"What do you think?"

"Hehe..."

Sticking out her tongue, Fan Susu shrank her neck and made a face at him.

I'm too lazy to cook, so I just cooked a hodgepodge. It tasted pretty good after heating up all the food.

The various vegetable porridges were salty, and occasionally I could find a lobster segment and eat the meat. It was like picking up a treasure.

Zhang Jin took Zhang Ranyu to drink porridge with a stainless steel bowl on the card stool. The "cat" fluttered around. The cat was having fun by itself, stepping on the ice and snow on the field and quickly jumping back.

From time to time, the sound of firecrackers came out from the distance. The kitten was frightened and found a place to hide. It disappeared for a long time.

"Dad, I want more~~"

Showing Zhang Haonan the empty bowl, Zhang Jin ate all the cabbage leaves cleanly. He actually liked the salty porridge.

"Do you want noodles?"

"Okay~~"

There were baby noodles in the small pot, which were kept warm and mixed with salty porridge. The taste was okay.

After picking a few shrimps, Zhang Jin gave two to Zhang Ranyu. Her son also said "Thank you, sister" skillfully. Zhang Haonan couldn't help laughing while sitting on the chair.

They were quite harmonious.

It was just that her son was very slow in eating, which made Zhang Haonan annoyed.

Zhang Jin didn't eat very fast, but it was all by comparison.

After eating, she showed Zhang Haonan the empty bowl again: "I'm full~~ Clean~~"

"Great."

Just as she was about to take the bowl from her daughter and put it away, she said "I'll do it myself" and trotted to the kitchen, then tiptoed and threw the bowl and spoon directly into the sink.

The ding-ling clang sounded, which scared her so much that she opened her mouth and stared, then covered her face with her hands and turned her head to look at Zhang Haonan.

"It's not broken, it's good."

Because he had experience, Zhang Haonan also showed her his inspection actions by the sink, and then made sure that the bowl and spoon were good, which made Zhang Jin feel relieved.

Nodding, then patting her chest: "Great."

"..."

Speechless, but still very cute.

Taking a piece of paper to wipe her mouth, Zhang Jin stepped on the red rain boots and made footprints in the snow in front of her house.

"Dad!"

She pointed to a row of "plum blossoms" in the snow, "Tiger."

Then she thought of something and called "Mao Mao" out, but the little raccoon fled into the stairwell, then hid under the stairs, and refused to come out no matter what.

The plan to make "Mao Mao" also leave footprints failed.

Zhang Ranyu saw her sister playing in the snow and was impatient, but unfortunately the food in the bowl had not been finished, so she had to continue eating seriously.

When she was in Jiankang, she had chased her sister to play a long time ago. Now she is so well-behaved, purely because his father is sitting next to her, he dare not.

Zhang Haonan just looked at the child and ate rice by the way. He was used to eating salty porridge and salty rice. It was not nutritious and not easy to digest, but it was convenient.

A bowl of soup at a time, a few pounds of it is enough.

Seeing that his father was not in a hurry, Zhang Ranyu was anxious, but he still ate slowly.

Finally finished eating, and quickly held the bowl to show Zhang Haonan, "Dad, I'm done!"

"Put the bowl and spoon in the sink."

"Okay."

The boy hurried to the kitchen, also tiptoed to throw the bowl and spoon into the sink, and then rushed out, jumping and wiping his mouth with a napkin.

He wiped it quickly and threw the paper into the trash can at the door.

He stepped on a pair of small red rain boots, and then stepped out one footprint after another in the snow in front of the door.

The twins were having fun, looking at the icicles on the hut, pointing their fingers with envy.

Zhang Haonan stood up and broke one for each of them. The icicles were like long and thin cones. They started dripping after being held in his hand for a while.

It was too cold, so the two little guys were finally thrown into the snow.

While watching the children, Su Jiang came downstairs in pajamas with his hands stuffed into his sleeves. He had a messy head of hair that looked like a chicken coop. It was obvious that he had just gotten up.

"No way, brother, you got up so early?"

"Are you stupid? What time is it?"

"But you went to bed after setting off firecrackers at six in the morning. You slept enough in just a few hours?"

"Don't talk nonsense to me. There is salty porridge on the gas stove. Eat it quickly."

"Okay, thank you brother."

Su Jiang smiled and went into the kitchen. Then he held a bowl and leaned against the door and smiled, "Brother, congratulations on your prosperity..."

"Tsk."

Zhang Haonan held the bowl with chopsticks in one hand, then took out a red envelope from his pajamas pocket and handed it to Su Jiang impatiently.

"Hehe..."

As for education, nowadays, it is generally a multimedia call to express condolences to show technological progress.

The condolences through the Internet two years ago were considered a political move to embrace technological progress.

After receiving the red envelope, Su Jiang secretly glanced at Zhang Haonan, then held the salty porridge in her mouth, chewed while looking at the twins, and couldn't help but secretly admire that this pair of twins were really cute.

Thinking that Shen Jinman seemed to be giving birth in two months, Su Jiang became even more curious, wondering if there would be any difference between the two born by her mother and these two.

In the north room on the first floor, the women playing mahjong were a little hungry, and Zhao Feiyan shouted through the door: "Husband, I'm hungry-"

"If you are hungry, don't you know to go to the kitchen to get rice-"

With a loud voice, Su Jiang almost dropped the bowl in his hand.

"Hu La-"

"..."

Zhang Haonan was speechless, got up and put the empty soup bowl into the sink, and then brought the pot and bowl in.

Then, those who played cards and those who didn't, all hurried to serve their meals.

Eating crab claws and lobster pieces was a surprise, and eating small abalone or scallops was like winning the jackpot. Eating was like exploring a secret treasure hunt.

"Brother, you treat your wives very well."

"I spent money on them, and they are all pretty."

"..."

Zhang Haonan's shameless answer made Su Jiang stunned for a moment. She knew that Zhang Haonan was shameless, but being so frank... was really unique.

She sat back at the door to watch the children. Suddenly, the phone rang. It was the landline at home. Zhang Haonan leaned against the eight-immortal table. When he picked up the receiver, he grabbed a handful of melon seeds and ate them while listening to the call from Wei Gang.

"Are you here to wish me a happy new year, old Wei?"

"Don't talk nonsense to me. I got up early to eat and overheard a piece of news about beer."

"No, are you a thief in the central government? Eavesdropping?"

"The people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are from the American branch of Bank of China across a garden. I was watering the green belt on the roadside at night, and I didn't expect that there were people working with me across a tree."

"Your quality is a bit low."

"..."

Wei Gang always felt that hearing Zhang Haonan talk about quality was itself very low quality.

"What do you mean? Someone from Bank of China wants to be a beer bank? How much interest will be given for depositing 10,000 tons of raw pulp?"

"..."

It's harmless to make a joke on the first day of the new year, but Wei Gang was unhappy.

After a pause, the bald old man said, "Big American companies should start contacting local breweries in the first month of the year, and on a large scale."

"How much money will enter the country?"

"Eight hundred million."

"Hmm..."

Zhang Haonan was a little surprised. He didn't expect that eight hundred million RMB would be invested right away. You know, foreign investment is definitely welcome these days, but it won't be like hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars coming in and out and making trouble.

Usually, for the convenience of operation, domestic affiliated companies borrow money from overseas. Of course, for normal long-term operations, they must still invest directly, but multinational companies with normal minds will not jump into China blindly.

Not all big companies are the ones that sell Coke. In any big country in any camp, they have extremely deep political roots.

So in general, although multinational capital is financially strong, it generally won't directly throw tens of billions of US dollars into a place. Tens of millions of US dollars are considered major investments, and millions of US dollars can already have the right to bark in provincial governments, and even more so in prefecture-level cities.

The amount of 800 million yuan is about 100 million US dollars, which is definitely a big deal.

What attracts foreign capital to the local area at this time is not only money, but also management technology and production technology. As for marketing ability and channel opening ability, it is far ahead.

However, the channel opening ability here has to be divided into two parts.

One is indeed hard power, similar to "Super Hard" and "Blue Giant" or "Red Coke"; the other is a bit special, often an organization of the nature of Wall Street investment banks, hunting for high-quality assets internationally, and there are quite a few "agents" and "partners" in China.

"Agents" and "partners" do not mean that they only have business capabilities, but also need to be further subdivided, but basically there are hard standards, that is, politics and economy are inseparable.

People like Zhang Haonan are the most qualified "agents" and "partners", and they are also high-quality "grassroots youth" with proven abilities.

If you don't have Zhang Haonan's amazing resume, it's also good to have an amazing grandfather, father, grandmother, mother, grandparents, uncle, or other aunts and uncles.

In short, if you have the ability to drive a Mercedes-Benz to the Forbidden City to relax when necessary, it would be the best.

Boss Zhang knows this not because he has come into contact with it before his rebirth, but because he has encountered too many of them before the dogs barked in Beijing.

At the same time, there is an even more outrageous reference, that is, the neighboring Russian country.

Alexey Pavlov's father, that is, the old Mr. Pavlov who was very low-key before and very arrogant now, is an important "partner" of a certain multinational capital in the Russian country.

Why didn't Valodia kill old Pavlov?

Because in addition to the supplies that young Pavlov got from China to fill the deficit, old Pavlov also regularly supplied Valodia.

In this situation, the biggest boast of Valodia in the Russian country is to give him 20 years and return a brand new Russian country.

He probably originally planned to pay it back with US dollars.

After listening to the bald old man's words, Boss Zhang's mind diverged quickly. He could actually guess what the old man meant, although he didn't say it explicitly. He probably wanted to see if he wanted to follow suit and spend American dollars abroad.

Obviously, although Boss Zhang didn't have the vision of "supporting the Han Dynasty", he was not interested in being a high-level "runner". He was too full to bother with this thing. There were so many beauties waiting for him to fuck. How could he have the time?

Eight hundred million was not a small amount, but Boss Zhang didn't lack this "small amount of money".

"What are your plans?"

Seeing that there was no movement on the other end of the phone, the bald old man asked.

"On the first day of the Lunar New Year, I don't want to curse anyone. Don't try to test me in the future. Draw the red line if there is a red line, assign the task if there is a task. If I am in a good mood, I will help. If I am in a bad mood, don't blame me for making things worse."

"..."

When Wei Gang heard that this country boy started again, he was speechless, but he hurriedly said, "I didn't say anything to you. Why are you biting people at the beginning of the new year?!"

"I don't want to talk to you about it. Anyway, if something happens when the time comes, don't blame me for running to the province to find a place for recuperation if you, an old... old comrade, don't blame me."

"Don't worry about it. As long as you don't rebel, I promise I can settle it."

"You are so arrogant, haha, let's see how you perform when the time comes. That's it, don't call me before the third day of the Lunar New Year. I don't want to bother you with your hard-working life."

"..."

Without waiting for Wei Gang to say anything else, Zhang Haonan hung up the phone directly.

The bald old man's guarantee is actually enough. The struggle with some local forces has never been just political communication, economic activity strategies, and fighting among the heroes of the rivers and lakes.

The rivers and lakes are not about fighting, but it is impossible to have no fighting.

It is useless to have only human relationships.

Boss Zhang returned to the door and saw his daughter pushing a small snow pile out. He grinned and encouraged: "Baby is great."

"Dad!"

Zhang Jin suddenly rushed over, then giggled and stuffed his two cold little hands into his old father's clothes: "It's so cold~ It's so cold~~"

The two little hands touched Zhang Haonan's autumn clothes, and then quickly scratched them, looking for all the warm places.

When it's cold, even children know how to find a place to keep warm.
