Zhong Xiaoqin looked at the time and said, "Half an hour at most, our boss will have a meeting for us at half past ten."
"I'll just give you a few minutes, let's go." The two children, one big and one small, entered the building and took the elevator to the 12th floor. After entering the house, Gu Jia asked his friend what he wanted to drink after letting his son play.
"Coffee." Zhong Xiaoqin sat at the long table, "Gu Gu, didn't Ziyan pass the interview and you don't seem too happy?"
Gu Jia came to the long table with two cups of coffee and handed one cup to her best friend, "Ziyan's tuition fee for one semester is 120,000, as well as food expenses, kindergarten clothing expenses, snacks for lunch, cultural festival trips...
Fees and so on, all the fees for one semester plus one yuan are nearly 250,000, which means it will be 500,000 a year."
Zhong Xiaoqin was speechless and said, "Why is it so expensive? Studying abroad doesn't have to be so expensive, right?"
Gu Jia took a sip of coffee and said, "The kindergarten that Ziyan goes to is the best kindergarten in Mingzhu. The teachers are either foreign teachers or have returned from studying abroad. Basically all the children in our building go to this kindergarten."
Zhong Xiaoqin looked at the time and asked, "Gu Gu, what do you mean you are looking for me?"
Gu Jia put down the coffee cup, looked at her best friend and said, "You know, in order for Ziyan to enter kindergarten, I asked Huanshan to sell the old house and replace it with this one. Now the monthly mortgage payment is 100,000 yuan.
That’s 1.2 million per year, plus Ziyan’s tuition of 500,000, that’s an extra 1.7 million per year. 湗
However, the company's business has been unstable recently, and the contract renewal for a large customer has not been negotiated. Yesterday, Huanshan complained a little, saying that he should not buy a new house.
After thinking about it, I think you can help me."
Zhong Xiaoqin said confused, "How can I help?"
"Xiaoqin, didn't you say that your marketing department distributes New Year's gifts to the residents of this building every New Year?"
Zhong Xiaoqin nodded, "Yeah."
"Then you must have been in contact with them, right?"
"I have frequent contact with the merchants downstairs, but the residents in this building only have a few words to say when they come to deliver gifts during holidays."
"Then do you know which tenants run amusement parks, or are engaged in business conferences and exhibitions?"
After Zhong Xiaoqin thought for a while, she shook her head slightly and said, "I really don't know this. Gu Gu, do you want to find new customers for your company?"
Gu Jia nodded and said, "The company has not made much money in the past few years, and now it has nearly 2 million more expenses. I just want to attract a few new customers, so that the pressure on Huanshan will not be so great."
In the past two days, she clearly felt that Xu Huanshan had changed. Not only did he disagree with her on many things, but his attitude towards her had also become a little cold. The problem should be with this house.
What's more, if they don't find new customers, their family won't be able to repay the mortgage within two months. By then, the house will definitely not be saved, and she will have no say in the family in the future.
Zhong Xiaoqin took out her mobile phone, flipped through the phone book, and said, "Someone should know which residents are engaged in this kind of business. Don't businessmen all have circles? The biggest businesses in this community are a few directors and deputy directors of the property owners committee."
director."
Gu Jia's eyes brightened and she said, "Are you able to talk to these people?"
Zhong Xiaoqin said, "Mrs. Wang, Mrs. He...there are five of us in total. When we meet each other, we usually just nod and say hello. I can help you get in touch at most."
"No matter how thin the thread is, it can establish a relationship with me," Gu Jia raised the coffee cup and said, "Xiaoqin, thank you."
Zhong Xiaoqin raised her coffee cup and touched one with a smile, "I wish I could help."
.....................
Wang Lidong came to the company, entered his office, and looked at the wall facing the employee office area. It was partitioned with a large piece of transparent glass. Sitting inside, he could clearly see the movements of all the employees in the design department. At the same time, he could also see what he was doing.
Being seen clearly.
I walked to the glass and looked at it. There were no curtains installed... What a bad design. I came to the desk, picked up the phone and dialed the administrative number.
After a while, administrative manager Liu Li knocked on the door and entered, "Mr. Xu."
Wang Lidong pointed to the large transparent glass wall and said, "Manager Liu, please arrange for someone to install blinds on this wall as soon as possible."
Liu Li was a little surprised. She was one of the first batch of old employees in the company. She knew exactly why there were no curtains on this wall... But she didn't hesitate and nodded in agreement, "Okay, Mr. Xu. Mr. Xu, what do you think?"
What are the requirements for blinds? Wooden or aluminum, electric or manual?”
Wang Lidong said, "Just use it for three months, the most common kind."
Liu Li said, "Okay, Mr. Xu, I will pretend as soon as possible. If there is nothing else, I will go out first?"
Wang Lidong nodded, took out his mobile phone, clicked on 'Qingzi.com', and searched for chemistry-related books, and all that came up were baby and parent-child books...
These days, it is women and children who make the most money.
Reset the 'Chemistry Professional Books'...'Basic Science of Lithium Batteries' and 'Analytical Chemistry Handbook'...Selected dozens of books and added them to the shopping cart...Pay...'5965.30 yuan',
It’s really not cheap.湗
I checked the delivery time and it seems to be pretty fast. It will arrive tomorrow.
He closed the webpage and thought of 'Qingzi'... an interesting guy... Hey, he suddenly thought of his predecessor, who had a similar experience to 'Qingzi'... but 'Qingzi's' wife was pretty good
I was so kind that I didn't send him in for a free meal, but gave him a large sum of money when I walked out.
I opened Xigo.com, searched for laptops, and ordered a thinkbad worth over 30,000 yuan....
"Tuk Tuk",
Wang Lidong said, "Come in."
Fireworks designer Qian Hong entered the office, handed over the folder in his hand, and said, "Mr. Xu, Huahong Company's plan for the '12-inch White Flash Exploding Willow Fireworks'."
Wang Lidong took the folder and looked through it carefully. "...Open the explosive 915#...Ignite the 906#...White Flash 41#..."
He made the changes according to his request, picked up the pen and signed his name, handed the document back to Qian Hong, and said, "Wait, I have something else to ask you for." He picked up the phone and called another firework designer.
The teacher entered the office.湗
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Xu Ledao, "Mr. Xu, are you looking for me?"
He took the two of them to the reception area and made them two cups of tea. "You two are the company's start-up team and the first employees of the company. You have been with the company through thick and thin for the past six years..."
The two of them were a little flustered.
The boss used to speak straight to the point, but today he went round and round. He actually remembered the past and praised the two of them for their contribution to the company. Taking into account the current situation of the company, he would appropriately cut their salary or let them go...
..
"... Starting from today, you two will serve as the deputy managers of the design department. Qianhong will be in charge of the company's fireworks team, and Xu Le will be in charge of the firecrackers team. You two will discuss your own team members."
Neither of them expected that their boss would promote them.
The surprise came too suddenly.湗
Wang Lidong patted the two of them on the shoulders, said a few words about doing a good job, and then said, "There's nothing to do. You go and do your work."
Both of them happily replied, "Mr. Xu, we will work hard to live up to your expectations."
After the two of them went out, Wang Lidong set up the drawing board, and there were still two design drawings to be completed...
I don't know how long it took, "Buzz buzz... buzz buzz..."
He put down his paintbrush and picked up his cell phone. The caller ID said, 'Dad.'
He was a little surprised. Ever since Xu Huanshan had a falling out with his parents over the house change a year ago, Xu's father and Xu's mother had not taken the initiative to call him. It happened that he also had something to talk to his elders about, so he pressed the connect button, "Hello.
,dad."
A familiar voice sounded on the other end of the phone. Xu's father said, "Xiaoshan, are you at the company?"
Wang Lidong grinned. This nickname sounded a bit strange, "Well, how are you and mom doing at the company?"
Father Xu said, "Your mother and I are doing well. How are you and Ziyan doing lately? Have you moved to a new home?"
"Everything is fine. Ziyan will go to kindergarten next week. We just moved here a few days ago. Are you going back to China this year?"
"Something happened?"
"It's nothing serious. You haven't been back for three years. It's time to come back and see your grandson."
"Is there a small matter then?"
Wang Lidong said, "I sent you a courier this morning, and there are several IOUs in it."
Xu's father asked in confusion, "What kind of IOU?"
Wang Lidong said, "The 5 million to open the fireworks company, plus the 3.5 million I received from you in the past few years, the total is 8.5 million."
Father Xu said, "Wait a minute, I'll make a video call to you."
The phone immediately hung up and the ringtone rang again a few seconds later. He clicked to connect to the video call. The face of the cheap daddy was displayed on the screen of the phone, and the face of the cheap mom appeared next to it. She said, "Xiaoshan, you
Is there something wrong with Gu Jia?"
Wang Lidong was slightly surprised and said, "Mom, how did you guess that?"
Xu's mother looked like I was an old mage and said, "Your mother, I have been an agency for decades, and you have encountered this situation many times. Is there a man outside Gu Jia?"
When you were talking about friends, I told you that this woman is not a living person and you can't live with her, but you just didn't listen. Now she's fine..."
Wang Lidong said, "Mom, Gu Jia didn't cheat."
The cheap mother looked surprised that her honest son had cheated on her, "Xiaoshan, where is the girl? How old is she? Has she been married? Xiaoshan, you must not seek divorce and raise a son. You must listen to us this time.
..."
The cheap dad interjected, "Gu Jia knows about this matter... She should know it, and you definitely can't hide it. Is she going to divorce you?"
Xiaoshan, daddy will give you a piece of advice. Although you cheated during marriage, you must have done something wrong. But if you get divorced, the property will still be 55%. Remember, don’t be soft-hearted... It will take less than two days.
Go back..."
This old couple... how much they hope he gets a divorce!
Wang Lidong's head was full of black lines and he said, "You are overthinking this. I'm not looking for another woman."
The two of them asked in surprise, "Then what happened to you two?"
Wang Lidong said, "I want to sell the fireworks factory in Hunan Province, but if the money from selling the factory is placed in my account, it will be gone in a few days."
Xu's mother couldn't believe it, and she frightened her eldest son. His mind finally cleared up?
When their son wanted to marry Gu Jia, the couple disagreed. They had seen many women like Gu Jia, and they only came here for his family's money.
But their son seemed to have been brainwashed, and they couldn't help it in the end, so they could only nod. After getting married, their son became even more submissive to Gu Jia, a white-bone demon. They didn't listen to anything they said, and they were so angry that they both wanted to break up.
It’s related.
If you are cruel, immigrate to Australia and live out of sight.
I don't understand how my stupid son suddenly became enlightened.
Wang Lidong rolled his eyes and said, "I suddenly figured it out. Mom, are you bothered?"
Xu's mother snorted coldly, "You're not allowed to say a word!
The company has been open for more than six years, but there is not a penny left. Most of the money earned has been used by Gu Jia, a white-bone demon.
Last year you wanted to change your house, but we didn't agree and you even fell out with us.
If you get divorced now, you will only get half of it. According to Mingzhu’s current house price, you will lose 8 million in vain.
We have seen this kind of trick more than ten years ago..."
The cheap lady got more and more excited as she talked, and you could see spit flying around through the screen... Three minutes later, seeing that the trend was not ending, Wang Lidong hurriedly interrupted, "Mom, I was the one who got into trouble before.
The horns are sharp, now I understand."
When Xu's father saw that his wife was still scolding his son, he hurriedly signaled to stop talking. His son was such an adult, so he should save some face. Then the three of them agreed on their confessions about the loan.
The matter was done, and when Wang Lidong was about to hang up the phone, Xu's mother hesitated and said, "Xiaoshan, I have something to tell you..."
Wang Lidong asked, "What's the matter?"
Xu's mother said, "Wait a minute..."
When Wang Lidong saw his mother disappear, he asked, "Dad, what happened?"
Xu's father chuckled and said, "Big surprise."
┑(￣Д￣)┍
Within half a minute, a female doll appeared on the screen. She had big eyes and an oval face. She looked about two years old. Father Xu smiled and said, "Xianxian, please call me brother."
The little girl came closer to the screen and called out "brother" vaguely.
Looking at the little girl's face, which looked a lot like his own when he was a child, Wang Lidong said with a puzzled face, "Is this little girl...?"
Father Xu said to the little girl, "Your sister's name is Xu Huanxian, and she will be 2 years old in two months."
w(??Д??)w
Wang Lidong felt thunder rolling in the sky. Xu's mother was 58 this year... No wonder neither of them returned to China in the past three years. It turned out that they gave birth to a baby...
But when you think about it, it’s quite normal. The son is useless, the grandson is not close to him, and the two of them have nothing to do all day long...
The little girl patted the screen with her little hand, "Dad, why doesn't my brother speak?"
Wang Lidong hurriedly said, "Hello, Immortal."
He frowned and said, "Mom and Dad, who chose the name Xianxian?"
Xu's mother said, "What's wrong?"
Wang Lidong said, "It's both fantasy and fairy, and the name is too big. With the power of our family..." He suddenly stopped mid-sentence. He must have been unable to control it before, but now that he is here, there must be no problem. He
He immediately changed the subject and said, "When will you bring the little one back?"
Xu's mother asked her daughter to sit down and said, "Xianxian is still too young now. She will definitely not be able to handle the flight for more than ten hours. We will go back when she is three years old."
Wang Lidong nodded and said, "If I have time later, I will go to Australia to visit you."
Seeing that their son seemed to like their little girl, the old couple breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Come here in August, it will be Xianxian's second birthday."
"If nothing happens then, I will go over."
"we have a deal."
"I know, it's okay."
"Xianxian, say goodbye to my brother quickly."
The little girl waved her hands and said, "Goodbye, brother."
"Goodbye, immortal." Wang Lidong hung up the phone and leaned back... there were more girls inexplicably.
At this age, I dare to play the trumpet.湗
What a pair of cruel people.
“Tuk tuk tuk,”
"Please come in."
Administrative assistant Youyou opened the door and entered, asking Wang Lidong what he had for lunch. He looked at the time and saw that it was already eleven o'clock. "I'll go out to eat at noon, so there's no need to order mine."
If you don't want to eat takeout, eat less. Although the chefs in the catering industry are all the same, at least it is still fresh, and the technology and hard work are limited to condiments.
When it was time to eat, he followed the address on Dianping and found a chain fast food chain with a rating of 4.9. Unexpectedly, the business was very popular and the queue was very long.
He walked to the back of the line.湗
"Mr. Xu."
Wang Lidong turned his head and saw Li Ke, an employee of the company's design department, and two girls lining up behind him.
"Li Ke, Zhou Zhou, Wang Qiaoqiao, hello."
"Mr. Xu, I rarely see you coming down to eat."
“I’ve been eating takeout and wanted to change my taste.”
Several people chatted one after another, but soon it was their turn. The four of them ordered food and sat together.
Li Kedao, "Mr. Xu, why don't you order a drink? The milk tea next door is quite delicious. Can I order a cup for you?"
"No, I ordered soup. If you don't want milk tea or anything like that, you can just order it if you want. You don't have to think about me." Wang Lidong glanced at Li Ke, who was sitting opposite him. He had thick dark circles under his eyes and a grimace. That's all.
For appearance, 60 points is considered polite, but Gu Jia was actually worried that Xu Huanshan would be hooked up... and even fired him directly. It was really a big deal out of a molehill.
She should also have the intention of beating Xu Huanshan, and by the way, let everyone in the company know that she, Gu Jia, is the Supreme Emperor, and Xu Huanshan is a puppet, so everyone should wake up.
After having lunch, I returned to the office, looked at the transparent glass, and gave up the idea of taking a nap.
Set up the drawing board and continue designing...
.............
In the evening, as soon as Wang Lidong entered the house, he was warmly welcomed by the child Xu Ziyan, ‘Dad, let’s play on the slide together.”
He rubbed his son's head and asked, "Is your mother not at home?"
The child nodded yes.
He dragged his son to the bathroom and washed his face with a towel. "If Dad follows you on the slide, you won't have a slide to play with tomorrow."
Xu Ziyan asked in confusion, "Why?"
"The slide can only bear 90 kilograms of weight, and dad weighs 135 kilograms..."
At this time, Gu Jia's voice sounded, "Sister Chen, where is Ziyan?"
"Huanshan took Ziyan to the bathroom."
"Mom, dad and I are in the bathroom." Xu Ziyan said loudly.
"What are you doing in the bathroom?" Gu Jia walked to the bathroom door and saw Wang Lidong wiping his son's body with a towel. He stepped forward and took his son, "I'll do it." He said and pulled two cotton towels to help.
Wiped it up.
grass!
Wang Lidong was very unhappy.
What's the meaning!
The atmosphere in the bathroom suddenly became a little dull.
Seeing his son's cautious look...he reached out and patted the little guy's head...rinsed the towel and left the bathroom.
At half past six, Sister Chen went to the study to call for dinner. Wang Lidong put down his paintbrush, came to the dining room, and looked at the menu for the evening, which included braised pork, broccoli, vegetable salad, crab, and a plate of bad fish fillets...
I put a piece of braised pork on my son's head. It tasted pretty good, but a little too sweet. 湗
Halfway through the meal, Gu Jia saw that Wang Lidong was just eating without any intention of talking, so she took the initiative and said, "Husband, have you seen Monet's water lilies?"
Wang Lidong was stunned for a moment. Isn't this the plot of a TV series? But his son entered the kindergarten smoothly this time... I don't know why Gu Jia caught up with Mrs. Wang on the top floor.
"Have you forgotten, didn't we see it when we went to Gaul?"
"Husband, have you ever been to the top floor of this building?"
"what do you want to say in the end?"
"I went up to the top floor today, and there is a pair of Monet's water lilies hanging in the hall of Mrs. Wang's house."
"Oh. How do you know Mrs. Wang?"
"Isn't Xiaoqin from the real estate department? She can help a lot. In our community, many families are doing business, and some of them should be engaged in amusement parks or exhibitions. As long as we can get online, we can get a few business deals for our company. Husband
You won’t be so stressed.”
Wang Lidong reached out and took Gu Jia's hand, saying with a touched expression, "Honey, thank you for your hard work!"
Gu Jia held his hand tightly and said, "Husband, how can you not work so hard? Husband, do you think rich people will buy fake paintings?"
Before he could reply, Gu Jia said to herself, "You don't know, Mrs. Wang actually said Monet's water lilies were paintings by Van Gogh. People like her can live on the top floor. If we work hard, can't we?"
Surely?"
Wang Lidong almost spit out the rice in his mouth.
Who gave her the courage to speak such weak words?
I have read a few more books than others, and I am so awesome that I think my ability to make money is better than others...湗
"Honey, do you know Mrs. Wang's net worth?"
Gu Jiadao, "I asked around and found out that her husband is in real estate, at least several billion."
"I'm not worth tens of billions, so I won't buy hundreds of millions of oil paintings. I can afford to live in a house." Wang Lidong said, "Honey, our company has been established for 6 years, and the money we earn plus one dollar is only about 10 million.
.
Do the math for yourself, how many years will it take to earn...even five billion?"
Gu Jia held his hand tightly and encouraged, "Husband, if you can't do it now, it doesn't mean you won't be able to do it in the future. We are only 30 years old this year. We just need to work hard and strive to live a life like her family at the age of 40."
Wang Lidong looked at Gu Jiadao, "Then how are you going to work hard? What plans and plans are there to develop a company with annual sales of 10 million into a company with sales of 10 billion in ten years?
I won’t talk about big goals for ten years either.湗
Let’s set a small goal first. The company’s sales will double next year to 30 million. Wife, let’s find your ideas. This goal is not difficult at all. Then tell us, what can we do to achieve the goal?”
Gu Jiadao, "Husband, my goal is a bit high, but I believe we can definitely achieve it as long as we work hard. You are only 35 years old this year, and you have already won several world awards. In two years, you will definitely become the best in the world."
Excellent fireworks designers, when the time comes to take over several large-scale events, such as the Blast Furnace Olympics, then our company's business will be able to reach several levels..."
Started cheating on Huabing again.
Wang Lidong retracted his hand, stood up and walked to the study, "Last year, the sales of the fireworks market in the whole world was only 9.8 billion. The world's largest fireworks company has a market value of only 2 billion. It is a good thing to set goals for yourself, but you have to do it within your capabilities.
But if you stand on tiptoe and can't catch it, that's not called a goal, it's called a 'delusion'."
