Cao Cao Weiguo specially came to Bureau Chief Director Jiang's office before getting off work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please come in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knocking twice gently and getting a response from inside, Cao Cao Weiguo pushed the door and entered. Unexpectedly, there were two unfamiliar guests in the office, one thin and tall, the other pot-bellied, talking to Bureau Chief Director Jiang. If he had known, he should have asked the secretary in advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that it was Cao Cao Weiguo, Bureau Chief Director Jiang asked with a smile: \"Cao Weiguo, do you have anything?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two middle-aged men sitting on the sofa saw Cao Cao Weiguo come in and heard Bureau Chief Director Jiang's words, so they couldn't sit still and stood up together to say goodbye: \"Bureau Chief Director Jiang, you go ahead and get busy, we'll leave.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bureau Chief Director Jiang stood up and said: \"Director Sun, Manager Liu, walk slowly. I have something to do, so I won't see you off.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the two guests left, Bureau Chief Director Jiang smiled at Cao Cao Weiguo: \"Sigh, it's fortunate that you came. Otherwise, these two would have sat down forever. It's really giving me a headache.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Cao Weiguo smiled: \"Leader, these two wouldn't be from Huarun, would they?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bureau Chief Director Jiang said with a worried face: \"You really guessed it right. They are from Huarun, coming to urge for debt every few days, making me want to burrow into a crack in the ground to hide.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huarun Company was founded in 1938. Its predecessor was an underground traffic station established by the Communist Party of China in Xiangjiang for the War of Resistance Against Japan. In 1952, its affiliation changed from the General Office to the Ministry of Trade. It is the first bridge for communication between New China and world trade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding the affairs between Huarun and the Bureau of Industry, Bureau Chief Director Jiang didn't say much more, and Cao Cao Weiguo naturally wouldn't ask further. After chatting for a few sentences, he took out two brocade boxes from his briefcase: \"Leader, this is the matter you entrusted to me last month.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good, good, good!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bureau Chief Director Jiang took the brocade boxes with a face full of joy and said meaningfully: \"Cao Weiguo has worked hard. Now I can finally report to the old leader.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Cao Weiguo urged: \"Leader, this medicine is very warm and nourishing, so don't be greedy. It must be taken according to the dosage. Otherwise, it is easy to have symptoms such as getting angry and indigestion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bureau Chief Director Jiang smiled: \"The old leader has a health doctor by his side, and I will explain it to the health doctor. I have to say, Cao Weiguo, you are really hiding your light. If it weren't for my wife telling me, I really wouldn't believe that you also know medicine, and your medical level is so high. My old leader has been troubled by old illnesses for many years. I don't know how many doctors he has asked to treat him, but it has been ineffective. As a result, the medicine you took has immediate effect. Now his waist is not sore, his legs are not soft, and the old problem of dizziness and tinnitus has disappeared, as if he is ten years younger.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made Cao Cao Weiguo both excited and nervous: \"Leader is over-praising. I am also drawing on the experience of the sages. Being able to have such a good effect is mainly because the Chief has a good physical quality.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bureau Chief Director Jiang laughed heartily: \"You are too modest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coming out of Bureau Chief Director Jiang's office, Cao Cao Weiguo was glowing, as happy as if he had won a big prize.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That old Chief was a household name, a great proletarian revolutionary, strategist, politician... Being able to serve such a great man who will go down in history is truly a great honor. This matter is enough for him to brag about for a lifetime. When he is developed in the future, he will also write a book, and then add this stroke heavily in the book, which will be a proper way to honor his ancestors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Comrade Cao Cao Weiguo!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After getting off work, Cao Cao Weiguo was riding his 28-inch bicycle out when he was stopped by a very beautiful tigress at the door, making his scalp numb and he couldn't lift his legs even if he wanted to run.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister Chen Xueru.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Cao Weiguo pushed the 28-inch bicycle toward Chen Chen Xueru: \"Why are you here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Chen Xueru, with short hair, said angrily: \"I came here not for you. How long has it been since you went to my house? Tell me, are you hiding from me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Cao Weiguo hurriedly said: \"How could I hide from you? I think of you every day, but you also know that I just arrived at the Bureau of Industry, and there are too many things to do every day, so I really can't get away.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Chen Xueru said angrily: \"You only know how to use work to brush me off. Are you really that busy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Cao Weiguo raised his hand: \"I swear on my personality!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Chen Xueru rolled her eyes at him with amorous feelings: \"Less of this set. I came to find you today for a serious matter. Vladimir and Elena want to talk to you about cooperation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Cao Cao Weiguo smiled: \"Oh, it seems they are quite satisfied with our local specialties.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Chen Xueru said: \"Alright, they have already arrived at the small tavern. Let's hurry over and don't keep them waiting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two rode their bicycles side by side, chatting as they walked. Regarding the cooperation with Vladimir and Elena, Cao Cao Weiguo still attached great importance to it. What he valued was not the immediate profit but the Soviet channel, laying the foundation for trade exchanges after the policy was opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Daoye\" (resellers) sounded not very glorious, but in the 80s and 90s, they were a group of people who became rich quickly, once popular all over the country, especially in the Jingcheng area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What white wine for cars, scarves for tanks, blankets for planes... As long as you are bold, you dare to resell anything and can resell anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Cao Weiguo contacted Vladimir and Elena, eyeing the vast and fertile market of the Soviet Union, waiting for the right time to do a big job in Soviet Russia. However, his goal was not cars or planes, but Soviet Russia's oil fields, steel, factories, and land. As long as there is money, the officials of Soviet Russia dare to sell even nuclear bombs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cao!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cao!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Cao Cao Weiguo and Chen Chen Xueru arrived at the small tavern, Vladimir and Elena stood up excitedly to shake hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Cao Weiguo greeted them in Russian: \"Mr. Vladimir, Ms. Elena, long time no see. How have you been lately?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vladimir said excitedly: \"Great, Cao. The wine you gave me is very popular in my hometown. Many of my friends have asked me to bring more back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Cao Weiguo smiled: \"This is a happy thing. Mr. Vladimir, do you agree with the cooperation method I proposed?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vladimir said with an exaggerated expression: \"Agree, of course I agree.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elena held Cao Cao Weiguo's hand, her big eyes full of hope: \"Cao, and me, you can't forget me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Cao Weiguo smiled: \"Elena, how could I forget you? We are old friends.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Cao Weiguo and Vladimir and Elena cooperated to sell \"wine\" in the Soviet Union. Of course, this wine is not ordinary wine but medicinal wine with strong yang-strengthening effects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The formula of this \"medicinal wine\" was improved by Cao Cao Weiguo according to ancient prescriptions. The medicinal materials all came from the unique farm, and the wine was also brewed by him with the grains produced by the farm. It not only has an excellent taste but also has a significant effect of nourishing the kidney and strengthening yang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through Li Li Huaide's hands, this kind of \"medicinal wine\" has become famous in the circle of Jingcheng. Many people bring gifts to find Cao Cao Weiguo to get wine, and some people directly mark the price, willing to buy at a high price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, Cao Cao Weiguo tried his best to restrain himself and did not let this kind of medicinal wine appear in large quantities in Jingcheng. Despite Li Li Huaide's repeated requests, he only gave Li Li Huaide, Bureau Chief Director Jiang, and others three or five bottles each time to deal with it, just because he was worried that a big tree would attract the wind and cause trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doing things in the country is tied up, so Cao Cao Weiguo set his sights on the vast foreign market. The Soviet big brother, who is close at hand and rich, is naturally the first choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Cao Cao Weiguo and Vladimir and Elena chatted in Russian for a few sentences, they moved from the small tavern to Chen Chen Xueru's home, and set the cooperation method and profit distribution in a penny-pinching manner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vladimir is a diplomat on the surface, but in fact, he is an extremely shrewd businessman. During the negotiations, Cao Cao Weiguo could not take the slightest upper hand, and was even at a disadvantage, having to give up a lot of profits. In the end, the two sides agreed that Cao Cao Weiguo is responsible for supply and domestic transportation, transporting products to Suifenhe, Mudanjiang, and Vladimir and Elena are responsible for transportation out of the country and sales. Cao Cao Weiguo agreed to a 50-50 split of profits, but the payment must be settled in gold.\u003C\u002Fp>",1644,"2026-06-16T08:10:17.216Z","2026-06-16T08:22:08.756Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","3c359f412493c83b4aeff33ad3fbd04910c764cce78fea68bfada056aace11d0","siheyuan-the-salted-fish-s-beautiful-life-chapter-823","siheyuan-the-salted-fish-s-beautiful-life-chapter-821",843,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsiheyuan-the-salted-fish-s-good-life-cover.jpg"]
