The beginning of the silly uncle, the true love is full of the courtyard

On this day, He Ping'an was handling official business as usual when Secretary Hu Desheng suddenly walked in with a group of people.

"Deputy Director He, this is Deputy Mayor Sun from the government, this is Team Leader Liu from the furniture factory, and this is Master Tong from the furniture factory. Ladies and gentlemen, this is the Deputy Director He Ping'an you are looking for," Hu Desheng introduced everyone.

Among these three people, He Ping'an only knew Master Tong, after all, he had entrusted his furniture to him.

"Hello, Deputy Director He. I'm the deputy mayor in charge of industry and commerce. My name is Sun Zheng. The story is this: Didn't you commission Master Tong to make a batch of furniture last month? A few days ago, the equipment in the furniture factory broke down and couldn't be repaired. We had no choice but to invite Soviet engineers to support our country."

"The Soviet engineer and his entourage accidentally discovered the furniture that Master Tong made for you. They liked it very much and paid the furniture factory to make a set for them. Our team leader Liu found out about this and took notice. He found some Soviet people and showed them the furniture you designed. They all thought it was good."

"Later, Team Leader Liu reported the situation to the municipal government. The municipal government thought this was an opportunity, so they contacted the Soviet Union. As a result, they directly ordered 10,000 sets of furniture, which brought us a lot of foreign exchange, and they promised to continue purchasing if the results were good in the future! We heard that this was designed by you, so we came here to express our gratitude!" When Deputy Mayor Sun talked about foreign exchange, he excitedly stretched out his hands and shook He Ping'an tightly to express his gratitude.

He Pingan understood what Deputy Mayor Sun said. There were some twists and turns in the furniture business: He Pingan originally planned to ask the people introduced by Master Lei to help make the furniture, but the master only had a few apprentices, and it would take three months to finish all the furniture. He Pingan couldn't wait, so he found Master Tong from the furniture factory at the suggestion of Master Lei.

"Foreign exchange? That's great! But Vice Mayor Sun, you're too polite. I was just thinking about it for fun and didn't expect that I could create foreign exchange for the country. But it's mainly because Master Tong did a good job, and Team Leader Liu and the municipal government were meticulous and able to seize the opportunity!" He Ping'an certainly knew the importance of foreign exchange, but he still humbly declined.

Afterwards, everyone naturally had another extreme tug of war. Seeing that He Ping'an was so understanding, Deputy Mayor Sun did not say much and promised to go to the Ministry of Public Security to tell Minister Luo about He Ping'an's contributions and ask for credit for him.

"Deputy Director He, I'm here to thank you on behalf of the furniture factory. We can make your furniture for you for free. If you have any other requirements, we will definitely meet them!" Team Leader Liu said hurriedly after the two of them finished arguing.

"No, I'm a state official, how can I take things from the people? As for my request: just deliver the furniture to me on time, I'm going to use it for my wedding!" The public-private partnership will not start until next year, and the furniture factory is still privately owned. He Ping'an dare not accept things from capitalists.

"Deputy Director He, don't worry! The furniture has been made, and all that's left is to be oiled! The furniture will definitely be delivered to you on time." Master Tong patted his chest and made the promise after hearing He Ping'an's words.

"Master Tong, can you think of a way to find some safe and healthy dyes to color the furniture?" He Pingan heard Master Tong's words and suddenly realized that he had neglected the color of the furniture. The furniture of today is not like that of later generations, which has all kinds of colors. The furniture of this era only has the original color of the wood.

"Indeed! Girls all like colorful colors, and my daughter is the same! Well... don't worry, Deputy Director He, there will be no problem at all!" Master Tong heard He Ping'an's request, thought about it, and thought it was not a big problem, so he nodded in agreement.

"Thank you, Master Tong!" He Pingan thanked

"Deputy Director He is absolutely right! Any product must be beautiful and practical, so that we can earn more foreign exchange and contribute to the country!" Deputy Director Sun is worthy of being in charge of business. He instantly understood the benefits of painting furniture.

"Deputy Director He, your idea just now is very good! Can you give us some more advice on our thinking?" Team leader Liu saw that He Ping'an's casual suggestion was a good plan, so he wanted He Ping'an to give some more suggestions.

"I know nothing about this, but I know a lot about firearms," ​​he said as he took out his own pistol. As far as firearms are concerned, my requirements are: first of all, they must be practical, with high power, fast rate of fire, and low recoil, so that I can work more efficiently; secondly, they must be reliable, and not jam or explode easily; then they must be simple, so that they are not prone to malfunctions, and even if they do malfunction, they are easy to repair; and then they must be beautiful. Everyone likes beautiful things, and I am no exception!" He Ping'an also had only a vague understanding of furniture and could only use firearms as an analogy.

"Practical, reliable, simple and beautiful! Thank you, Deputy Director He!" Team Leader Liu summarized He Ping'an's words and nodded in thanks.

"I didn't expect that Deputy Director He is such a versatile person. Do you have any good suggestions on business?" Deputy Mayor Sun saw that He Ping'an was talking very well and joined in the fun.

"Deputy Mayor Sun, you're joking. I'm just a private. How can I understand business?" He Ping'an shook his head and refused.

"Hey! Deputy Director He just said he didn't understand production! You are being partial!" Deputy Mayor Sun joked.

"I really don't understand business matters, but it all comes down to buying and selling! I don't know much about 'buying', but as for 'selling', I do know one thing, and that is that to sell things you have to find a crowded place! I think we can also try a small island near Guangdong, that's quite lively there too!" He Ping'an knew that it was inappropriate to bring this up now, but when he thought about being forced to repay the debt by the Soviet Union in the future, he couldn't care less!

"Thank you." After hearing this, Deputy Mayor Sun did not say much, just nodded and thanked him. However, he took He Ping'an's suggestion to heart and decided to go back and mention it to his leader.

"Deputy Director He is really capable. He gave everyone such a big surprise without making any noise!" After seeing the three people off, Hu Desheng followed them back to He Ping'an's office and stared at He Ping'an very carefully.

"It just happened to happen! Don't take it seriously!" He Ping'an was still the same as usual.

"Ever since we won the Korean War, imperialism led by the United States has begun to impose multi-faceted blockades on us. This has resulted in the country's annual foreign exchange earnings being meager, and all of it is earned from the sale of grain, agricultural and sideline products, and mining resources. Your ability to earn foreign exchange using furniture is the first time since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and it has set a precedent. It can be called a surprise, and I'm sure the people inside the red walls will be very happy when they know about it. Work hard and don't go astray!" Hu Desheng said, and left.

"I really didn't expect this this time!" He Ping'an sighed secretly as he watched Hu Desheng leave.
