Chapter 342 Jiang Lin cuts off his own retreat

People born in the 1970s and 1980s had no awareness of food safety during their childhood. As long as it was sold in the store, they would think it was safe to eat.

Just like TV commercials, anything that is advertised on TV is considered good. What experts say is professional.

In Jiang Zhaozhao’s opinion, his father was just making a fuss over nothing. Saccharin and flavoring were allowed in some departments. He opened two low-end factories just for this.

If this is the case, according to Jiang Cheng’s idea, there will be many more factories to be opened in the future.

Fortunately, Jiang Zhaozhao was born in 1973, and she experienced the social environment before the reform and opening up when she was a child. She understands the spirit of dedication of her parents’ generation for the people.

Anyway, the scale that Jiang Cheng required was not large, that is, it could be sold in the Jiangdonglai supermarket, and a small factory with an investment of several hundred thousand would be enough. The two factories together would only cost about one million, so Jiang Zhaozhao just took it as a way to make his father happy.

In mid-March 1995, Jiang Panpan left Changcheng and went to Shanghai to run a travel agency.

In April, Jiang Zhaozhao also left Changcheng and went to Shenzhen to build a group building. He will also join the head office of Jiangdonglai in Shenzhen.

Jiang Cheng has been in Changcheng for more than two months, and it is time for him to go to Hong Kong to meet his children and women there. However, Zhou Lingying also wants to go to Hong Kong with him, wanting to see what the illegitimate children Jiang Cheng has there look like.

Jiang Cheng had no objection to Zhou Lingying wanting to meet the people there. But Zhou Lingying simply could not accept sleeping in the same bed with Jiang Cheng and other women. Going there together to meet Jiang Cheng’s children might be fake, but it was real to stop him from sleeping with Shen Li and Zheng Ke.

Jiang Cheng and Zhou Lingying went to Shenzhen first. Now there are flights to Hong Kong, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Harbin. But there is no direct flight from Changcheng to Hong Kong.

When you arrive in Shenzhen, it is actually very convenient to take a ferry or plane to Hong Kong. However, if you want to see the excitement, it is recommended to take a ferry directly to the New Territories Pier to see the current life in Hong Kong.

If you are going to work, it is better to take a plane. You can take a taxi directly when you arrive at the airport.

This time Jiang Cheng and Zhou Lingying arrived in Shenzhen and did not go to Hong Kong immediately. Their niece Jiang Juan was in Shenzhen. Jiang Juan was very close to them and was filial. She would visit them during the Chinese New Year and other festivals.

Xu Kai, the nephew-in-law, is not bad. Back then, Jiang Cheng and his friends took a fancy to Xu Kai mainly because they felt that he was an honest guy, and they did not care about his abilities or ambition.

Now Xu Kai and Jiang Juan earn hundreds of thousands of yuan a year, which is considered wealthy. But Jiang Cheng feels that it is not enough. After Jiang Donglai expands again, Jiang Cheng will let his daughter give Jiang Juan some shares as dividends.

As for his nephew Jiang Yang, he is doing well now. He is not very capable, but he has connections with the Jiang family. Before, he just learned from his brother-in-law Xu Kai to contract the canteen. Although it was a bit hard to run back and forth in other cities, he earned a lot of money.

Jiangdonglai was expanding, and some people knew that Jiang Yang was the younger brother of Jiang Juan, the general manager of Jiangdonglai, so many people came to him.

So many supermarkets are going to be built, how much work is needed? Now the real estate industry in big cities has emerged, and many people know that the key to making money in real estate is to have connections.

Jiang Yang was now seen as a good opportunity by some people, and he was indeed tempted. The profit from the real estate business was much greater than that from contracting a canteen, and he didn’t need to invest anything at all. He only needed to cooperate with others and he could make a lot of money for free.

Fortunately, Jiang Yang still has a bottom line. It is human nature to make money by relying on connections, as long as there is no fraud or cutting corners. For example, if he recommends a supplier of sand or steel bars, the quality is tested in accordance with formal inspections and the contract is also in accordance with the rules.

Jiang Yang can get five or ten points just by taking the lead. The points may not be many, but it is a solid thing.

In the case of similar quality, it is not too much to take care of one’s own people. Therefore, in addition to contracting some existing supermarket canteens, Jiang Yang also contracts canteens at construction sites to sell boxed lunches. In addition, he takes the lead in getting some work on the construction site. Now Jiang Yang’s annual income is much higher than that of Jiang Juan’s family.

The only one who is not doing well is the eldest nephew Jiang Lin. He really played a good hand of cards badly.

As long as he puts in some effort and learns some techniques, he won’t be infected with the plague so easily. As long as he works hard, Jiang Cheng thinks he can take care of the sales. Even if he can’t sell it, Jiang Cheng can still put it in his space.

Later, Jiang Lin and Jiang Yang were asked to follow their sister to Shenzhen. When they contracted the canteen, because Jiang Yang was young, he was only given 10% of the dividends at the beginning, while Jiang Lin got 30%.

But Jiang Lin was not ambitious, he just wanted to get a few percent of the dividends, it was not that he did not have the idea of ​​starting a business, he wanted to turn his interest into a career. But his interest was women, he wanted to organize some women to do gray business, and then he could turn over cards every day.

But Jiang Lin had the will but not the courage, and he spent his days eating, drinking, whoring and gambling in Shenzhen, a now prosperous city.

Last year was even more terrible, because I spent money on playing around and almost got into jail.

But it can be considered a blessing in disguise as I have a woman by my side.

The woman played by Jiang Lin was a rural girl who was tricked into coming to Shenzhen. Later, the police found the girl’s parents. Fortunately, Jiang Lin also had some “shady” friends and connections in Shenzhen, so he found the girl’s parents privately and wanted to change her age to solve the problem.

In the end, Jiang Lin was blackmailed by the girl’s parents for a sum of money to settle the matter privately. Not only did they ask for money, they also made Jiang Lin a long-term meal ticket. They asked him to marry their daughter, but because the girl was too young to get married, they asked Jiang Lin to write down the “crime” facts.

If Jiang Lin dares to abandon someone’s daughter and is disrespectful to her parents, they will take evidence to the law enforcement office to report Jiang Lin.

Of course, the behavior of the little girl’s parents was also in violation. If they really reported Jiang Lin, they would not be able to escape the fact of blackmail, but Jiang Lin would also have to go to jail.

After Jiang Cheng and Zhou Lingying arrived in Shenzhen, Jiang Lin also brought his prostitute to see them. The girl really looked very young, but Jiang Cheng and Zhou Lingying had no sympathy for her.

Because it is true that birds of a feather flock together. The girl’s parents were blackmailing her, but she was very affectionate to Jiang Lin in front of Jiang Cheng and Zhou Lingying.

As long as Jiang Lin gives her money to spend, she doesn’t care how much Jiang Lin spends. She even protects Jiang Lin in front of Jiang Cheng and Zhou Lingying.

Jiang Lin brought his “wife” to Jiang Cheng and Zhou Lingying for a purpose. He saw that his younger brother Jiang Yang was doing well in the real estate and construction industry. He now earned 200,000 to 300,000 yuan a year, which was nothing compared to Jiang Yang.

Jiang Lin also wanted to get some projects done by Jiang Juan, but Jiang Juan didn’t trust him and didn’t go along with him.

Now Jiang Lin came to his uncle and aunt, hoping that Jiang Cheng could support him. Jiang Cheng directly said that he was old and would not get involved in business matters, and refused in disguise. But Jiang Lin was a bit desperate, hoping that Jiang Cheng would come forward and ask his sister and brother-in-law to give him a sum of money to buy out his share of the canteen. Then he took the money and went to the construction site with his friends.

To be honest, when Jiang Lin said that, Jiang Cheng really wanted to beat him up. The share was given to him by Jiang Cheng when he asked Xu Kai to take care of his nephew.

Jiang Cheng could give it to Jiang Lin for free, or he could take it back directly. Giving him 30% of the shares does not mean that he really owns 30% of the shares. If Xu Kai had not considered Jiang Cheng’s uncle’s face, how could he have given 40% of the dividends when he contracted a canteen, and 10% was given to Jiang Yang.

Later, when Jiang Yang was older, he got another share of the dividends. In Xu Kai’s view, it was just like cooperating with his uncle from the beginning, and he and his uncle split it in half. Otherwise, even if he was his brother-in-law, why would he give it to them for free?

So Jiang Lin wanted to change the so-called shares, and Jiang Cheng was furious. How could he say that he had shares? He had been eating, drinking, whoring and gambling all day in Shenzhen these years. If Jiang Cheng didn’t consider him as his nephew, he would have taken back his share.

He didn’t take it back, just thinking of keeping it as a waste. It could be considered as an explanation Jiang Cheng gave to his parents and sister-in-law.

Jiang Lin wanted to get into real estate and contract construction sites. This project was good, and the real estate industry would have at least 20 years of glory. But a good industry doesn’t mean that the people in this industry are good.

Jiang Lin wanted to go to the construction site with his bad friends. Jiang Cheng could swear that his daughter didn’t have a dick, so it was very likely that he was being cheated by his friends.

But if he didn’t agree to Jiang Lin’s involvement in the real estate industry, given his temper, he might secretly harm Jiang Cheng for the rest of his life. He would later say that it was Jiang Cheng, his uncle, who didn’t support him back then, that made him suffer in such a miserable state for the rest of his life.

Jiang Cheng didn’t want this useless nephew to cause trouble to his niece and niece-in-law in the future, especially since Jiang Lin’s “daughter-in-law” was disrespectful and spoke for Jiang Cheng and Zhou Lingying in a sarcastic manner. Jiang Lin wanted to cut off his own retreat, so Jiang Cheng agreed to his wish.

If Jiang Lin could really make it in the real estate industry without being cheated, Jiang Cheng would be happy for him even if he didn’t think highly of him now.

Therefore, Jiang Cheng finally called Jiang Juan in front of Jiang Lin and his “wife”. He first asked how much savings she and Xiao Xu had accumulated over the years, and then talked about Jiang Lin’s affairs.

Let Xu Kai give Jiang Lin 1.5 million, and Jiang Lin no longer needs to give 30% in the future, and the most he can give is dividends for less than five years. Jiang Cheng also promised Jiang Juan that as long as the Jiang family is still there, there will be no problems in contracting the canteen, not to mention five years, ten years, or even fifteen years.

Even if Jiang Zhaozhao was going to develop in Shenzhen, he could directly build a building and let Xu Kai contract the canteen at the construction site. After the construction was completed, he could contract the canteen in the building. One million and five hundred thousand was just a drop in the bucket.

Jiang Lin was satisfied with the five-year profit he had earned. He knew he was not ambitious, and when he came to Shenzhen, he did not invest a penny in the canteen. Xu Kai also needed capital to contract the canteen, pay the kitchen staff, and buy some equipment.

“None of you Jiang family members are good.”

“No, Yingying, you’re fine, who are you scolding?”

“Who else could it be? I’m talking about you and your nephew. I was only 18 years old when I was with you. Shen Li is more than three years younger than me. You were also capable of doing that to her when you were with her.”

On the ship heading to Hong Kong, Zhou Lingying was fine at first, but suddenly she went crazy.

These days the two have been talking about their nephew Jiang Lin being a bad guy. Now that they are about to arrive in Hong Kong, Zhou Lingying thinks that her man is not much better.

“How can they be the same? How can our era be compared with now? Besides, when I was with Shen Li, she was old enough to get married in Hong Kong.” Jiang Cheng defended.

In the 1970s, women in Hong Kong could get married at the age of 16 with the consent of their guardians. Shen Li fled her aunt’s home and was no longer a guardian, and she was already 16 years old at that time.

This is much better than that beast Jiang Lin. The woman he found might need to tamper with her age to barely meet the minimum requirements of this era.

The minimum age requirement in the country at this time is not sixteen, and Jiang Cheng is not that B·T.

“Jiang Cheng, when did you get a Hong Kong ID card for me?” Zhou Lingying didn’t want to keep talking about her man in a roundabout way, so she changed the subject and asked.

“I helped you do it 20 years ago. You are an old resident of Hong Kong. Not only you, but our children also have formal identities in Hong Kong.” Jiang Cheng said with a smile.

In Hong Kong 20 years ago, you could get an ID card without paying a small fee. In the early days, it was still made of cardboard.

Although it was troublesome later, there was nothing that could not be done in Hong Kong if one was willing to spend money. Moreover, even if it was a new generation ID card, Zhou Lingying’s identity had already been registered, so it would be easy to deal with if she did not come.

Fortunately, Jiang Cheng and his team only obtained Hong Kong household registration, and Hong Kong will return to China in two years. If the nationality is from somewhere else, when the reform and opening up just started in 1980, China did not recognize dual nationality.

However, there was no Internet at that time, so even if people in China had other nationalities, it was not easy to find out if they did not report it. It was not until the Internet was developed in later generations that people gradually discovered that some people were actually foreigners.

For example, if the Internet was not well developed, how many people would know that a domestic actor was a foreigner as early as 1997?

Zhou Lingying had never thought that she had been a foreigner for more than 20 years. You know, in a certain era, China was very pro-foreign. But she could not be a foreigner for many years. Once Hong Kong returned to China, Hong Kong ID cards were also regarded as Chinese citizen ID cards.

The ship soon arrived at the Xiangjiang Port Terminal, and Jiang Cheng took Zhou Lingying to the warehouse near the terminal to pick up the car. Rich people do this, for convenience, they specially build a garage at the terminal to park a few luxury cars, and they do this a few times a year.

But Hong Kong is very chaotic now. Taking a taxi to a luxury villa may lead to personal information leakage.

Besides, it was Zhou Lingying’s first time in Hong Kong, so Jiang Cheng could introduce her to some of Hong Kong’s customs and practices while driving. In the 1970s, Jiang Cheng often brought snacks home from tea restaurants in Hong Kong. At that time, some things Zhou Lingying wanted to buy were not available in China.

After arriving in Hong Kong, Jiang Cheng first called Shen Li and the others to inform them that he and Zhou Lingying had come to Hong Kong.

The phone number is from China. If you don’t change your phone number when you arrive in Hong Kong, you will still have to pay for international long-distance and roaming calls, which are very expensive, costing eight yuan per minute. This is just for calls to Hong Kong and Macau. If you call other places, it will cost more than ten yuan per minute.

In other words, one minute of calling Hong Kong from China is enough to pay for an ordinary family’s food for a day.
