The people in Shanghai are very particular about their accent and are more willing to spend money on clothes than the people in Yanjing.

On the first day of opening of the Shanghai store, sales reached 269,000 yuan, making it an instant hit.

Sales dropped slightly after that, but soon stabilized and continued to rise steadily.

Nine months after it opened, its profit almost equaled that of the Yanjing store.

Compared with the rapid growth of the Shanghai store, the performance of the Shijiazhuang store was mediocre.

"Including the profit of the Shijiazhuang store, we made a total of 20 million yuan last year!" Du Feng said at the end, his eyes shining with pride.

"I plan to open two more stores next year." Du Feng's words were full of ambition.

"Just make your own arrangements."

Du Feng knew that his sister and brother-in-law were engaged in the big business of acquiring listed companies in Xiangjiang, and they looked down upon his small business.

He couldn't help but think about it, "Brother-in-law, what do you think when our clothing city develops and expands, we go to Xiangjiang to sell it?"

"Do you think it is so easy to go public in Hong Kong? Instead of going public in Hong Kong, you would rather go public on the mainland."

"We don't even have a stock exchange, how can we list it?"

"If we don't have it now, it doesn't mean we won't have it in the future." Lin Chaoyang said.

Du Feng looked into Lin Chaoyang's eyes and felt that his brother-in-law's words must not be random. He asked secretly: "Brother-in-law, do you have any inside information?"

"No. I just think that the opening up of the financial sector is also part of reform and opening up.

Du Feng nodded thoughtfully, feeling that what his brother-in-law said made sense.

The next day, Lin Chaoyang went to Wang Meng's house.

Seeing Lin Chaoyang coming to the door with something, Wang Meng joked: "Is this considered bribery?"

"Then you must not answer the call. If you do, I will report you later."

After making a few jokes, Wang Meng asked Lin Chaoyang to sit down and poured him a cup of tea.

Lin Chaoyang came today because of the literature award. He had to talk to Wang Meng about the situation first.

"As for the demands you made, some people will definitely disagree.

The important literary awards held in China have always been led by the Literary and Art Association. According to your statement, the Literary and Art Association has a lot of work to do but has much less power."

Lin Chaoyang took a sip of tea and put down the cup.

"That's wrong. No matter how much life you have, can it be more than the life of the Mao Dun Literature Prize?

In fact, this is still an award led by your Literary and Art Association. I cannot spend too much thought on this kind of literary award, and you will still be the main one in the future.

Nowadays, some comrades feel that they have less power, and simply regard the awarding of awards as a ban on the literary association. They feel that the literary association should have the final say on how to award awards, and Mr. Zhuang only needs to be responsible for paying.

To put it bluntly, it is the arrogance of those in power."

Lin Chaoyang spoke mercilessly, and Wang Meng looked worried, "You are here just to criticize our literary association?"

"If you complain less, I won't say these things."

"Everything has been taken care of for you, why don't you just complain a little bit?"

"You just got the advantage and behaved well. You gave out hundreds of thousands of yuan a year. Why don't you give me some advice?"

The two of them each had their own reasons. After arguing for a while, Wang Mengcai said: "Okay. Anyway, the Cultural Association has agreed to your request. You can go to the Cultural Association in two days and discuss the details with Comrade Cheng and others."

"become."

Lin Chaoyang came here just to talk to Wang Meng. After talking about the awards, Wang Meng became concerned about the couple's development in Xiangjiang.

Asked about the inside story of Lam Films’ acquisition of Yulang Agency.

"Do you still care about this?"

"It's not that I care, it's that someone cares." Wang Meng's eyes seemed to be full of meaning and thought-provoking.

He added, "The development of you and your wife in Xiangjiang has always been the focus of New H Society's comrades in Xiangjiang."

Wang Meng's words can be summed up in four words: Jane is in the heart of the emperor.

Lin Chaoyang explained to him the ins and outs of the acquisition of Yulang Institution. Wang Mengmei asked: "That Li Zhaofu, does he have any requirements for providing you with funds?"

"No. He was ostracized by the Hong Kong government and almost went to jail. Now he has faded away from the world and is no longer involved in worldly affairs."

"This person has made great contributions to Hong Kong's financial industry and is willing to unite Chinese capital and Chinese brokers. He has some sentiments. It is a pity to withdraw like this."

Lin Chaoyang understood what Wang Meng meant by "a pity". The return of Xiangjiang was imminent, and the authorities needed to unite all walks of life in Xiangjiang and control key positions.

"There's nothing I can do. After all, I haven't returned yet, and the Hong Kong government still has the final say. My little arms can't twist my thighs."

Wang Meng asked again: "I heard, how many media outlets does Yulang Organization have?"

"Not bad. There are four companies including "Tian Tian Daily", "Youth" and "Fresh Magazine", and their operating conditions are pretty good. "Tian Tian Daily" is developing particularly well.

When we acquired Yulang Agency, these media were also a very important reason."

Wang Meng smiled, "Why do you think the media is important?'

"The media is the right to speak. When Hong Kong returns, we Chinese people also hope to do our best for the country."

Wang Meng felt that Lin Chaoyang's words were a bit disgusting, so he deliberately said them to him.

"What's that expression on your face?" Lin Chaoyang asked him.

"It's nothing, you two are very thoughtful." Wang Meng gave Lin Chaoyang a rare compliment.

Then he said: "If your company needs funds or help in the future, you can contact several companies..."

Several of the companies mentioned by Wang Meng are state-owned enterprises operating in Xiangjiang. Lin Chaoyang shook his head, "The less contact we have with state-owned enterprises, the better."

Wang Meng pondered for a moment, and understood his concerns, and said: "That's fine. But this way, you and your wife will have to work harder in Xiangjiang."

"Knowing how hard we work, just be polite to me, and I will be your TZ target from now on."

Wang Meng laughed and cursed, "If you say you are fat, you will gasp."

Then he said seriously: "Do your best and don't be burdened with your thoughts. It's best if you can help. It doesn't matter if you can't help. Don't let others get in trouble."

This last sentence is somewhat unprincipled. Wang Meng said it as a friend.
