chapter eight(1/2)
On September 11, 1991, Ye Zi Nong came to Budapest alone and stayed at the Assolny Hotel, which will also be the legal office after registering the company. This marked the official launch of the labor export plan.
Before leaving for Berlin, Yezi Nong's Overseas Chinese Association collected a large amount of information on domestic investment promotion. Most of these materials were compiled by local government agencies responsible for investment promotion and were spread overseas through officials or associations. After careful research, Ye Zi Nong
According to the conditions and needs of the labor export plan and the needs of local economic interests, Hongchuan City, located in the hinterland of China, was selected as the city for the labor export organization. The foreign investors were located in Budapest. Ye Nong was warmly received by the Hungarian Chinese Chamber of Commerce in Budapest. Facts have proved that
It was right for Lin Xuehong to ask for help from the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, especially in the situation where people and land are interdependent. Overseas Chinese Chamber of Commerce has indeed played an important role in information exchange and mutual assistance. With the recommendation of the Chamber of Commerce, Ye Zi Nong contacted a company run by local Chinese
Registered agency business company and business consulting company, inspected several idle factories on the spot, selected a Jewish-run factory in the north of Budapest, made all preparations in advance, and waited for Lin Xuehong to officially register the company and rent the factory building.
Hungary is a small country in Eastern Europe. It is not close to the sea and does not have many natural resources. In addition, the national economy has been sluggish due to the long-standing dogmatic Soviet economic model. After the drastic changes in Eastern Europe, the Hungarian government opened its doors to attract foreign investment and accelerated the privatization process domestically. However,
As the entire Eastern Europe is in a state of fission and war, as well as various factors such as the privatization and transformation of Hungary's state-owned economic property rights, which have led to serious unemployment problems, the registration threshold for foreign investment is very low. The registered capital is only 8 US dollars, of which 7
Inject US dollars into the bank account and give 1 US dollar to the lawyer. The procedure is very simple. Once you have the company's legal documents, you can get the residence card.
Hungary welcomes Chinese people to set up companies, but most people who come to Hungary do not come to Hungary for investment and business, but for transition to Western Europe. Article 1 of the China-Hungary Mutual Visa Exemption Agreement stipulates that citizens of one of the contracting parties must present valid travel documents.
You can enter the territory of the other contracting party without a visa and can stay in that country for days. Those who have access to the country will mysteriously disappear within a few days and then mysteriously appear in a country in Western Europe. Those without access may wait under cover of identity.
If you have the opportunity, you may set up a company and become a bankrupt. The so-called "Beijing's bankrupts shocked Eastern Europe" mainly refers to Moscow and Budapest.
September 15th, Sunday. According to the advance notification, Lin Xuehong and his party will arrive in Budapest in the evening. On Sunday, all government agencies and units are on vacation, and the leaf farmers have nothing to do, so they went to the free market to hang out in the afternoon. In the free market, stall owners from various countries and
The transactions between customers were in full swing, with various languages mixed with some simple Hungarian and gestures. You were bargaining back and forth, and more of the stall owners were Chinese. It suddenly seemed like you were in a Chinese market.
, only those who have been here can truly understand what "Beijing's traitors are shaking up Eastern Europe".
Zizinong was wandering around aimlessly, not interested in clothes, jewelry, cosmetics and the like. As he wandered around, a stall selling lighters aroused his interest. The stall owner was a Chinese young man of many years old, wearing strips.
Jeans and a gray-white denim jacket, sitting on a folding horse. There is a one-meter-square blanket on the ground. Dozens of lighters are placed on the blanket, including Wenzhou's Star, Shanghai's Sunflower, American, and British Dunhill.
, etc. On one third of the blanket, there are more than a dozen knives with foldable handles, which are called butterfly knives in jargon.
Ye Zi Nong squatted down, picked up a lighter, played with it a few times out of habit, and asked in English: "How much does it cost?"
The young man spoke with an authentic Beijing accent: "Chinese, right?"
Ye Zinong asked: "How do you know?"
The young man said: "Look, the shoes are from Wenzhou, and the clothes are exported to the domestic market."
Ye Zi Nong said: "It's okay for you."
The young man said disapprovingly: "That's what you did. Brother, you exposed your bottom."
Ye Zi Nong was puzzled: "What's revealed?"
The young man said: "The one you are holding is a three-hinge black cracked one. It has been around for a long time. Experts do not use hidden machines to play with. They only use a cool sticker for performances. Your technique is also showing its cowardice. It is called holding a flower and smiling. You stole it."
What a coincidence, I dare to take action just these two times."
Zizinong smiled and said: "You are mistaken this time, I don't understand anything. Is this a collection machine? It would be a waste to light a cigarette."
The young man picked up a pure copper lighter with rounded corners and said, "Just use the 41 replica to burn it. It's classic, durable, and cheap. Tingyin, are you from Beijing too? Not many brothers in the same city want yours, so you give me 10,000 Fulins."
Bar."
The forint is the Hungarian currency. At the time of inflation in Hungary, 1 U.S. dollar was exchanged for about 5 forints on the black market.
The leaf farmer said: "I only have US dollars."
The young man said: "It's better to pay in US dollars, so you can give me 4 US dollars."
Ye Zi Nong said: "Is this cheap? My lighter is just like yours, it only costs 5 yuan, RMB."
The young man said disdainfully: "Yours is a counterfeit from Wenzhou. You bought it for 5 yuan, which is too expensive. The purchase price is not more than 15 yuan. What do you think this is? This is 1, genuine product made in the United States. Forget it, I won't follow you.
After all, I don’t understand anything.”
The leaf farmer said: "Okay, just $4."
The young man put the lighter into the packaging box, and Ye Zi Nong took the lighter and was about to pay for it.
Suddenly, the young man's face changed drastically. Zizinong followed the young man's gaze and looked towards the entrance and exit of the free market. He saw two majestic Hungarian policemen coming in from the gate. Their solemn appearance made people feel frightened at first sight.
, wearing shiny black leather boots, gray uniforms, large caps, and armed belts around their waists filled with handcuffs, pistols, batons, walkie-talkies, whistles and other equipment, the two policemen walked up to a stall with their heads held high, using
He pointed at the stall owner and said something in Hungarian. The stall owner hurriedly reached out and took out a small boy from his arms and looked at it.
It can be found all the time.
Ye ZiNong asked: "What are they doing?"
At this moment, there were more than a dozen stalls between the two policemen and the young man. The young man quickly collected the corners of the small blanket used to set up the stall, and in the blink of an eye the entire stall turned into a big bag. He could only listen to the words inside.
The lighter buzzed. Seeing that the leaf farmer was still standing, he didn't care about not giving him any money. He just put his bag on his back and ran to another part of the free market.
Ye Zinong didn't pay, so he could only follow the young man. The young man stopped at the steps by a river, looked behind him for a while, and after making sure that no police were chasing him, he put down the big bag on his shoulders and sat on the steps to eat.
pant.
When the young man saw Ye Zi Nong following him, he gave a thumbs up and gasped: "Brother, you are so generous. I thought you were hiding and wouldn't give you the money. The person who checked your passport...his identity is black. He won't give you a visa. Arrest him."
If you live there, you will be deported.”
Ye Zi Nong took out 4 US dollars and handed it over. The young man took four 1-yuan denominations and checked whether they were genuine or not. He took out one and returned it to Ye Zi Nong, saying, "Brother, I'm a righteous man. I'll take one from you."
Ye Zi Nong said: "Thank you, no need." After saying that, he turned to leave.
The young man stood up hurriedly and said: "Brother, stay here! It's not easy to meet us all the way here. Let's chat for a while. You showed your cowardice in the way you acted just now. Go out and play with us! If you're embarrassed, I'll correct you. I'm not
Bad guy, just graduated from Beijing Normal University." The young man said, taking out the folding mat, unfolding it, and giving up his seat.
Yizinong moved the horse back a little, keeping an appropriate distance from the young man, sat down and said, "I am used to playing with my hands when I am thinking about something. I don't want to play with anything, and I don't know what playing is!"
The young man took out his cigarette and offered it to Zi Nong. Zi Nong pushed him aside and took out his own cigarette.
The young man put away his cigarette and said, "Your cigarette is good, I'll smoke yours." He asked Zi Nong for one, took out a lighter from the leather holster around his waist, lit it for Zi Nong first, then lit it for himself, and said, "Brother.
Wait a minute, I'll check the machine first." Then he opened the blanket and checked a few expensive lighters to see if they were bumped, muttering: "Ouch... I feel so fucking sorry for you."
Zizinong smiled and said: "Really, there are all kinds of things to burn."
The young man took the lighter that he had just lit and said: "! It's in English." Li 8, the broad sense of playing 7 refers to the various techniques and skills of playing with lighters, and the meaning of lighter magic, in the narrow sense, refers to the circle of play, which is 1 lighter
Of course, you can also play with other lighters. There are no rules, but it is still recognized as the most authentic one. Watch it, I will give you a set to play with."
With that said, the young man started to perform, and a small lighter danced in his hand as if it had a soul. He didn't know where the fire came from, and he didn't know where it went out. Round after round... the lighter could swim no matter how it was turned over.
The blade can be cut freely, but it is still a piece of metal. It is simply a living life. In the end, the young man closed the lid with a "snap" to end the performance and said: "See, this is called playing." Ye Zinong was stunned.
He said in amazement: "I've never seen this before...it's amazing, it's amazing."
The young man introduced himself and said: "My surname is Shen, my name is Shen Biao, and I am nicknamed Beijing Swordsman. People in the circle call me Brother Biao. In fact, many of them are older than me. In the circle, they do not follow age and talk about morality. I am really not a bad person. Beijing Normal University
I just graduated from college for a year, and I wanted to learn to be bad, but it was too late and I didn't have time. What you need to play is kung fu. If you don't have kung fu, you can say anything and you will be a scholar."
Ye Zi Nong wondered: "How come you are called a Beijing swordsman when you are playing with lighters?"
Shen Biao said: "Are you a layman? If you don't know how to play 7, you can only count half of the world. I don't have any oil today, otherwise I will take a bath of fire or something. There are several butterfly knives, I will give you one."
Shen Biao took out a butterfly knife and started to dance with "swish, swish, swish". The sword was like rain, but no one could see where the knife was. It was dazzling, like butterflies in the sky... Suddenly there was a dazzling knife-shuttering movement, which stopped abruptly.
Ye Zi Nong was stunned again and said: "Is this knife real?"
Shen Biao raised his eyes and said: "What a joke! 8147, an American geometric knife head, known as the ghost splattering blood, I won't be able to do this in a few years. Look at my hands, you can count the number of knife wounds."
Shen Biao stretched out his hand, and Ye Zi Nong took a look and saw that it was indeed full of knife marks.
Ye Zi Nong said: "How old are you? I don't think you have just graduated."
Shen Biao blushed, shook his head in frustration and said: "I am 8 years old this year. I have to repeat high school for one year, study for one more year at university, and study for one more year for master's degree. It is difficult to earn credits, and my interest is not there. Alas... I think...
Now that we’re home, it’s better to be here in Beijing. It’s not like being chased by the police here all day long. You really can’t ask for money with your grandson.”
Ye Zi Nong said: "Then let's go back early. Isn't the travel expenses enough?"
Shen Biao said: "That's not true. I went to the United States on the way. I read a report that the American Tonka won the first place in the World Series. I was really angry. You said, there are no events that Chinese people can participate in. Is it called No. 1 in the world? No matter how hard it is for me, the United States will kill me. There is someone in China. Where can I put him if he is No. 1?
Ye Zi Nong said: "Is it just for this little thing?"
When Shen Biao heard this, he became angry and said: "China just lets you, a bloodless person, be delayed. Forget it, stop talking, I'm not interested at all. You can leave."
Ye Zi Nong looked at Shen Biao and thought for a while, then said, "Do you have a contact number? Give me one."
Shen Biao asked: "What?"
Ye Zi Nong said: "Someone may contact you within two months. It depends on your luck whether they can help."
Shen Biao quickly took out a pen and paper and wrote down his phone number and gave his name to Ye Zi Nong, not wanting to be angry anymore.
Zizinong looked at it, stood up and said, "It's not easy to go out, please take care of yourself." After saying that, he turned around and left. Shen Biao caught up and said, "Brother, I haven't asked for your last name yet."
Ye Zi Nong didn't look back, he just waved his hand and said: "It's not worth mentioning."
In the evening, Ye Zi Nong knew the time when Lin Xuehong and his party arrived in Budapest, so he didn't go out to find food. He had something to eat in the hotel restaurant and then went back to the room. In fact, he walked around the streets looking for food whenever he had time these days. No matter where he goes, he will not first pay attention to the local scenic spots, but first inquire about the local delicacies.
Not long after, Lin Xuehong called and said that they had checked into the hotel and would be here shortly. A few minutes later, Lin Xuehong came with two men and one woman. One of them was Kugrev, whom Ye Zinong had already met at the Berlin Conference. Everyone shook hands and greeted politely, and then went to the living room to take their seats. The sofa in the living room could not seat 5 people, so Lin Xuehong brought a chair and sat down.
Lin Xuehong introduced: "This is Mr. Moore, food mechanical engineer. This is Ms. Xu Hong, translator."
Mor is an American, with good features, tall, and always has a smile on his simple face. He looks friendly and cheerful. Xu Hong is an American, and is very beautiful. She has a full side parting. She has short ear-cut hair, is of medium height, and wears a light-colored skirt with good texture. She looks very smart.
Ye Zi Nong asked in English: "Mr. Moore, have you brought all the measuring tools?"
Moore nodded and said, "Yes."
Ye Zi Nong said: "The factory lease contract will be signed tomorrow. The choice of the factory site is based on many considerations. Once signed, the factory cannot be changed, but the standard configuration of the production line may not necessarily match the factory. You only have two days to survey the site. If the standard configuration of the production line does not match the factory building, you can discuss it with the manufacturer after you arrive in Hongchuan."
Moore said: "I understand."
Ye Zi Nong said: "We have been traveling for a day. If we have time to chat later, Mr. Lin will take you to dinner first. After dinner, you can rest early. Mr. Lin will come to my place for a while."
The Mr. Lin that Ye Zi Nong calls him is Lin Xuehong.
