Chapter 64

As soon as he finished speaking, President Feng couldn't help but feel a little sad - since when did he get used to calling a few hundred yuan as "funds"!

"What, it's still in stock!" Qiu Mingquan was taken aback, "Isn't the stock already in your hand?"

"Are you the president, or am I the president?"...

Next, Feng Rui instructed Qiu Mingquan to go into the city. This time, the goal was no longer just boutique shopping malls, but famous shopping malls such as revitalizing shopping malls and Guanhai shopping malls, and went all over the counters of hero pens.

Sure enough, in the past few days, the hero gold pen in a shopping mall has been out of stock!

As soon as Feng Rui saw this sign, he made a decisive move, and asked Qiu Mingquan to rush to several other shopping malls, poured out the one thousand yuan in his hand, and exchanged all of it for gold pens.

Three days later, major shopping malls ushered in the era of out-of-stock hero gold pens.

In fact, not only in Dongshen City, but also at counters all over the country. Faced with the advertisements of domestic high-quality gold pens spread all over the country, and it is winter vacation, many parents are considering buying a good fountain pen for their children as a backup for school.

This time, even the Hero Golden Pen Factory was greatly surprised, and the output failed to keep up.

At that time, there was no such thing as "hunger marketing", but every day I heard the attractive advertisements on the radio and TV, but I couldn't buy it, which formed an unexpected and hard-to-find situation.

Qiu Mingquan didn't know all this, but Feng Rui could keenly guess it.

Just in the past few days when the stock was completely out of stock, he asked Qiu Mingquan to take some gold pens and walk around the stationery counters of major shopping malls every day. Once he heard that someone had a clear desire to buy but came back disappointed, Qiu Mingquan ran away In the past, a variety of varieties were drawn out for people to choose from.

Claret pen body, full silver pen body, silver cap and black body... When you buy it, you have a purposeful configuration, and you can choose it when you sell it.

... The salespersons at the stationery counter in the boutique commercial building are convinced.

Although it was known that the child bought so many pens every day to sell them, where they were sold was always a mystery.

It's a good thing now, people are reselling them under the noses of their state-owned stores!

Occasionally, a customer wondered whether it was true or not, and the child pointed to this side with an innocent face: "I entered here."

Yes, there is a special counter inspection on site! This is it!

To complain, the hero gold pen at the counter is still completely out of stock, and there is an endless stream of customers who come to buy it. They have urged the manufacturer several times to say that the production capacity is insufficient, and the leaders of the commercial building have nothing to do.

After three or two days, they already knew how much the child added to the price of a pen. It has to be said that at this time when it was hard to find, Feng Rui's price was stuck at a node that was well versed in customer psychology, so that You feel pain in the flesh, but you are not angry enough to walk away.

What this kid earns in a few days is probably enough to earn a few months' wages for salespeople in state-owned enterprises!

Especially Zhao Decheng, the narrow-minded head of the counter, was extremely upset, and he couldn't please his eyes any way he saw this brat.

On this day, Qiu Mingquan was negotiating with a customer: "It's really not good, uncle, I will earn two yuan for this..."

"Two yuan is not enough! You sell dozens of pens a day, and you dare to speculate at such a young age!"

A hand suddenly reached out from behind, grabbed Qiu Mingquan's little hand fiercely, and snatched the gold pen from his hand.

Qiu Mingquan raised his head in astonishment, and looked at Zhao Decheng who was dressed in a Chinese tunic suit: "Uncle...why are you robbing me?"

Zhao Decheng choked.

This brat is really cunning and bad, he doesn't make excuses, but gives him the hat of stealing things!

He arbitrarily snatched the schoolbag from Qiu Mingquan's hand, and dumped the gold pencil case full on the ground: "Steal? I'm going to smash you!"

"Gululu", a pile of pencil cases fell to the ground.

...

On the stairs on the second floor, two middle-aged men were walking side by side.

General Manager Qu of the boutique shopping mall smiled and looked at his old classmate Wei Qingyuan beside him: "Congratulations, I didn't expect you to be transferred from Yanjing to Dongshen City. The college students of our class have been working in Yanjing for more than ten years. , it's just you."

Wei Qingyuan shook his head and smiled wryly: "I like doing research, you don't know that. If Principal Gong hadn't come to Dongshen City to take up a job this time, and insisted on bringing me along, I would rather work in the Audit Office."

Qu Yifei was deeply moved: "It's up to you. In today's situation, the country is short of people, especially those who understand the market economy. Almost all of our senior brothers and sisters in the past few years have been activated urgently."

Wei Qingyuan smiled: "You are not the same, you have been promoted to the position of general manager at this age."

Qu Yifei shook his head and lowered his voice: "I'm also crossing the river by feeling the stones. By the way, you have a high level of contact. Do you think the joint-stock reform is really feasible?"

Wei Qingyuan pushed his glasses and looked solemn: "You should know better than me, right? Just last year, Yuyuan Shopping Mall became one of the first batch of enterprises in Dongshen City to change to a joint-stock system. It united dozens of state-owned and collective stores. , formed a large, unified joint stock company, and expanded the scale of operations with concentrated advantages. You should know that they issued shares and the response was very good, so why can't you?"

Qu Yifei's eyes flickered: "Yes! I also think that this direction is very worth trying - you don't know, these days, I have thought about many ways to mobilize enthusiasm. In the final analysis, the attempt of the joint-stock system puts the vital interests of the employees Linking with the unit is the most powerful move!"

Wei Qingyuan quietly pointed to the north: "You are in the company, give it a go, the policy will definitely surprise you with its boldness!"

Qu Yifei's heart jumped, and he became a little excited. This classmate is highly valued by his mentor, Principal Gong. This time, Principal Gong was appointed as the vice president of Dongshen City Branch of the People's Bank of China. He insisted on bringing his favorite student Wei Qingyuan from the Human Education Department to The meaning of Dongshen City is self-evident.

He nodded solemnly: "I understand, I will quickly suggest to the higher-ups, let go and try!"

Wei Qingyuan smiled and said: "By the way, I want to come to you to buy two gold pens as gifts, and take me to the stationery counter?"

Qu Yifei slapped his thigh: "You didn't say it long ago! The Hero Gold Pen has been out of stock for a long time, even if I am a smart woman, I can't cook without rice now! Don't worry, it will arrive in a while, and I will keep it for you."

Wei Qingyuan smiled and said: "I didn't know you were performing your duties here, otherwise, you wouldn't have bought one at a higher price a few days ago."

Qu Yifei was taken aback by this, and thought it was funny: "This can be sold, so you're so active?"

Wei Qingyuan laughed: "And the person who did this was a child. To tell you the truth, after I bought the pen that day, I was very emotional."

"What are you feeling?"

Wei Qingyuan's eyes were firm: "The market economy is imperative. The sense of smell and wisdom of the masses have already gone ahead. Even a small child can take this step ignorantly. Why do we hesitate?"

Qu Yifei was extremely surprised: "What you said sounds like an anecdote. Is it really a child who sold a gold pen to you? Why don't I believe it!"

Wei Qingyuan stepped onto the third floor, looked forward unconsciously, saw a small face, and immediately froze.

After a while, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Don't believe me? Then I will prove it to you today."

...

"You are not allowed to do business here! Believe it or not, I will call the police to arrest you! Raising prices unscrupulously, buying and selling, you will go to jail!" Zhao Decheng sneered.

This is still an era when the market economy has not been liberalized, and sales are everywhere in later generations. At this time, there is also a not-so-proper name "speculation". In most people's minds, this is disgraceful and needs to be concealed. of.

Qiu Mingquan: "Mr. Feng, what should we do?"

Feng Rui said angrily: "You didn't steal or rob, why are you afraid of him!"

Qiu Mingquan was not afraid, but he rarely quarreled with others in his previous life, and he was not very eloquent. He calmed down: "Uncle, I didn't do anything illegal. I bought it with my own money, and the people who bought my gold pen also liked it." Willingly. You can't."

He was young and lacked momentum, so when he spoke in such a friendly manner, Zhao Decheng became more and more unreasonable.

He turned his head and shouted downstairs: "Security Section, come quickly! There is a speculative peddler on the third floor, come and deal with it!"

Not long after, two people from the security department of the commercial building came, one old and one young, and the older one was the chief of the security department.

Zhao Decheng told the story arrogantly, until the head of the security department was taken aback.

This has never happened before, and what Team Leader Zhao said seems quite reasonable. A few years ago, it was broadcast on the radio, and people were shot for serious crimes of speculation?

In this era, the thinking of most people is indeed still in the rigid stage.

"You kid, how could you do this?" The younger security officer looked at Qiu Mingquan and said bluntly, "Hurry up, or you will be turned over to the Public Security Bureau!"

The chief of the security department waved his hand, but he was very kind: "Little friend, who taught you to do this?"

"It must be instigated by the adults in the family!" Zhao Decheng threatened viciously, "If I say it, the adults in the family must be arrested together!"

"Are you sure? Why don't I demonstrate it to you?" President Feng was eager to try again.

"You won't hit someone again, will you?" Qiu Mingquan asked suspiciously.

"That must not be the case." Feng Rui said indifferently, "At this time, we pay attention to a person who convinces people with virtue."

He didn't know how many times he had recited these few words, but now he said them very fluently.

The driver sitting in the front seat suddenly let out a "huh", turned his head curiously, narrowed his eyes and looked at the gold pen in Qiu Mingquan's hand.

"Madam, it's this kind of box. I went to a few big shopping malls a few days ago, and they all said they were out of stock."

Liu Shuyan was a little surprised, reached out to take the gold pencil case in Qiu Mingquan's hand, and opened it.

That's right, on the body of the beautiful golden pen, the golden eagle with wings spreads proudly, and the hero logo is clearly engraved on the top, showing good workmanship and quality control.

I wanted to buy gold pens for my son and the two children of the Xiang family, so I asked the driver to go around, but it was too late.

But why did it happen to be such a coincidence today that someone came to sell it?

Noticing her surprise, Qiu Mingquan hastily explained: "Auntie, I just took advantage of the winter vacation to sell some stationery to lighten the burden on the family. I guarantee that this gold pen is genuine, and I just bought it from a boutique mall."

Liu Shuyan looked at his worn-out coat and the frayed cuffs, and suddenly felt amazed. Seeing the child's well-behaved appearance and clear voice, she couldn't help feeling overwhelmed with maternal love.

At a young age, at most he was about the same age as his son, but he was already going to the streets and trying to make a living.

She took a small leather bag from her side: "How much is one? I want three."

Qiu Mingquan was startled: I really want three.

"Twenty-eight yuan each." Qiu Mingquan waited for a while, but unexpectedly he didn't hear Feng Rui's instructions, and he didn't wait for the agreed upon agreement, so he could only answer according to the past price.

Liu Shuyan smiled softly, counted eighty-five yuan without haggling, and handed it to Qiu Mingquan outside the window.

Qiu Mingquan searched frantically for a long time before he found a coin. Just as I was about to pass it through the car window, I accidentally dropped the coin on the ground, and it rolled round and I don't know where it went.

"You don't need to look for it, that's all." Seeing him anxious, Liu Shuyan couldn't bear it.

"I found it!" Qiu Mingquan pouted his butt, finally found the shiny coin under the chassis of the car, and stretched out his hand in surprise, "Auntie, here you are!..."

But at this moment, a shadow shrouded from the direction of the setting sun, covering the originally good light.

"Where is the little beggar coming from?..." A cold and arrogant voice sounded, with the clarity of a boy's voice, within a few steps, it seemed very close, but also seemed a little far away.

"Feng Rui, what are you talking about?" Liu Shuyan scolded, opened the car door, and greeted her son who just finished the English tutoring class.

...Feng Rui. Which core, which seal?

Qiu Mingquan froze suddenly! It seemed that something exploded in his heart.

He raised his head with difficulty, and saw a face that made him feel like a thunderbolt.

With handsome eyebrows and bright eyes, the eyes are like stars, and the straight bridge of the nose is as if carved out by a knife.

With his back facing the cold winter sunset, the handsome young man was half a head taller than Qiu Mingquan. When he looked down at him, his mother's eyes were as beautiful as his mother's. There was no tenderness of Liu Shuyan, but a kind of impatient arrogance.

Although there was no preparation, Qiu Mingquan already understood one thing after this glance.

The blood-stained face of the CEO Feng he saw before he died in the previous life was still astonishingly handsome, and it perfectly matched the appearance of this handsome young man at this moment.

... Time sculpts, people's hearts change, what remains unchanged is each other's faces when they were young.

Winter vacation in January 1988.

In the evening of this day, the young Feng Rui, Qiu Mingquan and Xiang Cheng met for the first time.

The encounters in life are so wonderful, an ordinary day in the long river of life, but after a long time, because of everything that happened that day, it becomes easy to mark, so that after many years, it is firmly engraved in the hearts of several people.

Feng Rui frowned his handsome eyebrows, and looked at the strange boy in front of him.

The clothes were very old, and her little face was flushed and a little chapped from the cold, but her brows were clean and delicate, and her pair of dark eyes were looking at her without blinking.

The setting sun was shining from the west, and every subtle expression change on this strange boy's face could be seen clearly.

Yes, it was that strange expression—shock at first, bewilderment after that, and finally, surprise that was about to be said.

The young Feng Rui and Qiu Mingquan stood face to face like this, time seemed to have paused for a moment, but there was no distortion between them, and nothing strange happened.

Until Qiu Mingquan's eyes suddenly and inadvertently fell on the slightly exposed red on Feng Rui's chest.

Something flashed in his mind like a flash, he stared at the boy's neck opposite him, and his breathing became short of breath.

As if bewitched, he reached out his hand unexpectedly, grabbed Feng Rui's collar, and pulled gently!

The gentle Hetian white jade, with a crystal-clear color, has an emerald green in the middle... It is exactly the same, and it is connected with the flowing brilliance entangled inside. These days, it is also hanging on his chest, and it is often touched, so familiar!

That's right, this is the young Feng Rui. He had been wearing this family heirloom jade pendant next to his body in his previous life, and it was only when he died that he accidentally tore it off.

So the one you brought back? ...Qiu Mingquan clutched his chest blankly.

Suddenly, he vibrated, what's going on? What about the jade pendant on his chest that he brought back from his previous life? !

No, just no! Even the rope around the neck suddenly disappeared, as if it had never appeared before.

"Little thief, put down Brother Rui's jade pendant!" Just when he was feeling helpless and his mind went blank, suddenly a clear boy shouted in his ear, his face suddenly hurt, and a strong force hit his left cheek. , His eyes went dark, and he fell to the ground.

Waking up from the shock and panic, Qiu Mingquan shook his head and felt liquid flowing under his nose.

Stretching out his hand to wipe it, the bright red blood was all over his hand.

"I don't look like a little beggar. He looks like a thief and a robber." A boy's voice sounded from the side, which was obviously different from Feng Rui's, with vigilance and defense.

Qiu Mingquan raised his head blankly and looked at the person who spoke.

Just now, she had been focusing on Feng Rui, but she didn't realize that beside Feng Rui, there was another equally handsome boy.

She is a little shorter than Feng Rui, with picturesque eyebrows and a pair of phoenix eyes looking forward, looking like a pretty girl. Just looking at Qiu Mingquan's eyes, there was an unconcealable vigilance and fierceness.

It's strange... why does this young man seem so familiar?

"Xiaocheng! Why are you so rude!" Liu Shuyan was taken aback, got out of the car in a hurry, and hurried to Qiu Mingquan's side, "How are you?"

The beating boy immediately changed into a harmless and cute smile: "Aunt Liu, you didn't see just now that this little thief reached out to grab Brother Rui's precious jade pendant! If I hadn't beaten him down, maybe At this time, he just ran away!"

He was good-looking, and his phoenix eyes looked extremely energetic when he smiled. Liu Shuyan was also a little puzzled when he heard what he said.

Feng Rui didn't speak immediately.
