Chapter 423: All Things Compete
This Spring Festival has been anticipated by ordinary people for many years.

After all, building socialism is important, but the lives of ordinary people must also be taken into account.

Although Marxism-Leninism has been deeply rooted in the hearts of ordinary people for decades since the founding of the People's Republic of China, it is only in their hearts. Thousands of years of tradition will not disappear overnight.

As the only civilization in the world that has been passed down for 5000 years, its core is culture.

Of course, teacher comrade has added a profound touch to the hearts of us Chinese.

The wealthy people of Hong Kong stayed in Beijing for a while because they were invited by their leaders to attend the 79 Spring Festival Gala at the Great Hall of the People.

As a local resident of Beijing, Wang Deming must fulfill his duties as a landlord.

After Wang Deming returned to Beijing, he specially found a Beijing construction team to renovate No. 11 Yongkang Hutong to keep it as it was before, but added more modern equipment, including air conditioners, refrigerators, bathrooms, etc.

Mr. Huo and Mr. Bao, who were visiting his home, were amazed and exclaimed: "Deming, our ancestors really knew how to live."

“The philosophy of the Chinese people is evident everywhere.”

As soon as you enter from the Ruyi Gate in the southeast corner and pass through the Chuihua Gate, you will see the second courtyard which has been decorated with big red lanterns by Wang Deming.

The doors of several rooms were open, and Zhang Shouchun, Jin Yuqing, Qin Huairu and the children came out to greet them.

"Haha, good! Good!" Mr. Huo was particularly happy. He specially called his eldest son, Lei Ting, to the capital and patted him on the shoulder. "Go and talk to your sister An Ning."

Mr. Huo actually wanted to strengthen his relationship with Wang Deming.

He particularly liked the child An Ning. Although she grew up in a wealthy family, she was not at all pretentious. Not only was she good-looking, but she was also smart.

When I was studying at university in Hong Kong, not only did I receive scholarships every year, I also started my own small business.

No one knew that the Quiet Coffee Shop, which is now famous in Hong Kong, was opened by this young girl who had not yet graduated.

It’s a pity that he was directly rejected by Wang Deming.

In the words of Wang Deming, we are so rich now that we have the conditions to let our next generation and the next generation reject things they don’t like.

If the two children are destined to be together, that would be great. If they are not destined to be together, it will not affect the relationship between the two families.
In fact, Wang Deming was secretly thinking in his heart, if Lei Ting’s fate was changed by him, would Jingjing still exist?

"Come on, you young people, one table, and we old people, two tables. Please."

Wang Deming invited Mr. Huo, Mr. Bao and others to enter the east room of the north house in the second courtyard.

In the middle of the five northern rooms in the second courtyard of this four-courtyard quadrangle is a hall, which is used to connect to the third courtyard.

The two rooms on the left and right are used to entertain guests.

Zhang Shouchun, Jin Yuqing and Qin Huairu welcomed the ladies to the west room.

The children were divided into the east and west wing rooms.

For today's dinner, Wang Deming specially invited Lao Peng, the chef of Tan's cuisine at the Beijing Hotel, to come home to cook a few tables of Tan's cuisine.

Of course, the fees have been settled with the Beijing Hotel in advance. Lao Peng and his colleagues are now chefs in the state system.

That night, everyone was attracted by Wang Deming's courtyard house and wanted to buy one in Beijing. However, the good courtyard houses in this era were all in the hands of various units, either for office use or staff dormitories, and it was possible to buy one with their foreign exchange.

Wang Deming just bought a few more sets for himself when he asked them to buy them. He joked that he had too many children and he wanted to treat them equally, so he would give each of them one set.

On January 1, at the Great Hall of the People, many well-known figures from the Party and the country attended the first gala in more than a decade.

Especially those in the cultural circle, Yan Han, Hu Xiqing, Xu Linlu, Zang Kejia, Ai Qing, Zhao Puchu, He Jingzhi, Ruan Zhangjing, Zou Difan, Li Keran, Ye Qianyu, Zhang Ding. They all appeared solemnly again.

The front-page headline of the Mass Japan newspaper on January 1 read: Gathering together for a new atmosphere.

On January 1, the State Council officially issued a document to establish the country’s first open industrial zone, the Shekou Industrial Zone, in Shekou, Guangdong.

After learning the exact news, Wang Deming took Mr. Bao, Mr. Huo and others all the way south to Guangdong and arrived at Shekou.

Prepare to discuss investment issues with leaders of GD Province.

The leaders of GD Province are definitely more courageous. They promised Mr. Bao and others who came from Hong Kong that as long as they invested, everything would be easy to negotiate and they would directly grant them a five-year tax exemption policy.

In addition, all products produced are required to be exported.

After several rounds of communication and negotiation, the final condition was changed to that after reaching a certain export production amount, it could also be sold domestically, but it had to go through the supply and marketing cooperatives and the pricing was negotiated by both parties.

It is different from the previous life. There was no influence of Wang Deming in the previous life, although Mr. Huo kept inviting Hong Kong tycoons to come north to communicate with the leaders.

However, the wealthy people in Hong Kong are still waiting and watching. However, many small business people, in order to take a gamble on the future, have made up their minds to invest their fortunes in Shekou to open factories.

Because there are indeed many problems. The three connections and one leveling are easy to solve, but the workers become the most difficult hurdle.

It’s not that there are no workers to recruit. The fact that the working class is the leading class is not just an empty statement in this era.

What they are worried about is the difficulty in management. Do you think that you are a capitalist and can make us bow down to you just by giving us some dirty money?
We have the country and the party behind us!
Therefore, the government in Shekou still helps recruit workers from rural areas. The minimum requirement is a junior high school education, and the government acts as a guarantor.

After discussing with several Hong Kong tycoons, Wang Deming also formulated appropriate management rules.

It is still Wang Deming’s old method, Anshan’s two participations, one reform and three combinations.

This set of management is very inconsistent with the conventional management in Hong Kong. The management in Hong Kong can be referred to the domestic private enterprises in the past.

Women are treated like men, and men are treated like animals.
Most of the so-called middle class have fought for their lives.

However, the two participations, one reform and three combinations are very familiar to the mainland, and all leaders know about them. Although they may not like them, the final hurdles of investment are finally cleared.

The roar of diesel engines of large excavators could be heard throughout the Shekou Industrial Zone.

The leaders of Shekou wore safety helmets and cautiously accompanied Wang Deming and his colleagues, holding drawings in their hands and introducing them.

"Gentlemen, according to our estimate, we will be able to complete the site leveling, water supply, roads and electricity, complete the factory building, and transport the equipment here for trial production in three months at the latest."

Although it is still February, the northern capital city is still covered with snow. Except for the office buildings and residential buildings of government units, or the residential buildings of large factories that have central heating, other residents still have to rely on stoves for heating.

In Shekou, Guangdong, people can already wear light clothing. Many workers on the construction site are already working in short-sleeved shirts, and their bodies are steaming.
