Wang Lidong took out the prepared dried fish and asked his little sister to catch one and feed it to the orange cat. "Meow" the orange cat first licked Xiaoxian's fingers, then rolled the fish into its tongue and ate it with relish.
.
Xiaoxian was licked by the orange cat and giggled. She couldn't help but reach out and stroke the orange cat's head.
"Xiaoshan, how old is this cat? Male or female?"
"It's 5 months old. It's a male cat." Wang Lidong explained to his parents what the orange cat should pay attention to. The most important thing is to eat. Try not to feed the cat food, and usually eat some chicken, fish, shrimp, and chicken offal.
"You can also feed some Peiyuan soup, so you don't have to worry about snakes, insects, rats, ants, etc."
Within a few days of arriving in Australia, he encountered several snakes in his yard. Although they were all non-venomous, they were too common. With this cat, he no longer had to worry about these disgusting things.
The reunion is always short-lived. After Xiaoxian's birthday, it is also the day for Wang Lidong to return to China.
When we were leaving at the airport, the little girl burst into tears. She hugged his thigh and refused to let go. The three of them coaxed the little girl together for half an hour before the little girl finally let go and let him get on the plane.
When passing the ticket gate, Wang Lidong remembered an important event. He took the old couple to a remote corner and said seriously, "Mom and Dad, remember to go back to Sihai before the Chinese New Year this year."
The old couple hurriedly asked about the reason. Wang Lidong shook his head slightly and said, "It's hard to talk about this matter. Our lives are at stake anyway. You must remember and don't tell others about this matter, otherwise it will be very troublesome."
Seeing their son's serious face, the old couple thought of his son's character and knew it was not a joke, so they promised to return to Sihai before the New Year.
After bidding farewell to his parents and the fairy, Wang Lidong boarded the plane. When he arrived in the business class, he accidentally spotted Chen Xiaoyun's agent. He stepped forward to say hello and looked at the passengers around him, "Chen Xiaoyun is not with you."
?”
Sister Hong said with a smile, "She returned to China two days ago. Is Dr. Xu returning to Mingzhu?"
Wang Lidong nodded, and after a few polite greetings, he followed the flight attendant to his seat. He looked at the seat next to him and saw a middle-aged man in a suit.
Wearing a blindfold, I slept all the way to Mingzhu. When I got off the plane, I found that Sister Hong had long disappeared. She didn’t even say hello when she left. When I passed the departure hall, I saw a familiar figure. I walked up and said hello,
"Wang Manni."
When Wang Manni saw her friend's husband, she smiled and said, "Old Xu, what a coincidence. Have you just come back from Australia?"
Lao Xu?
It seems that Wang Manni and Gu Jia get along well. In fact, their personalities are somewhat similar.
In terms of spending money, Gu Jia belongs to the moonlight family and spends whatever she earns from the company, while Wang Manni earns 17,000 to 8,000 yuan a month. In order to pursue the quality of life, she spends 7,000 yuan to rent a big house. After working hard in Mingzhu for ten years,
All bank cards added together do not exceed 10,000.
Moreover, both of them are ambitious, pursuing class advancement and self-realization, but Gu Jia was more lucky, being born in Mingzhu, and then caught Xu Huanshan, a big grievance.
Wang Manni was born in a small fourth- and fifth-tier city, and her first love was not strong enough. She met the diamond king, Liang Zhenxian, and thought she was the right one. Unexpectedly, he just wanted to support her.
"Yes. What about you, are you going out at this time, or have you just come back?"
"I just came back from Fiji."
"Oh, it's right next to Australia. Maybe we can be on the same flight."
The two checked the flight numbers and found that they were indeed on the same plane, but Wang Lidong was in business class and Wang Manni was in business class.
Wang Lidong asked politely if he wanted to take a ride back together. At this time, a man with a mustache came to the two of them pushing a trolley suitcase and said, "Mannie!"
Wang Manni looked at her boyfriend and said, "Have you bought the things?"
Liang Zhenxian smiled and nodded, looked at Wang Lidong and said, "Mannie, why don't you introduce me?"
"Xu Huanshan, the husband of my good friend Gu Jia."
When he heard that he was the husband of Wang Manni's good friend, the smile on Liang Zhenxian's face became brighter. He stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, my name is Liang Zhenxian. Nice to meet you."
Wang Lidong reached out and shook hands with Liang Zhenxian, the king of the sea. After a few words of greeting, he declined Liang Zhenxian's invitation to take him back to the city. He had no interest in making light bulbs.
Moreover, Liang Zhenxian is as virtuous as the people in Hong Kong. Although he hides it well, he will show a sense of superiority from time to time.
It made him a little unhappy.
After leaving the terminal, I hailed a taxi, checked the time, it was around three in the afternoon, and told the driver to drive to Jiamei Fireworks Company.
After waiting for the bus to start, Wang Lidong took out his mobile phone and made a video call with Xiao Xianxian. They chatted along the way and broadcast live broadcasts of the scenery of the Pearl from time to time.
When they arrived at the company, a yellow shadow came to his feet, and Tinkerbell yelled "Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
This heartless man, he has been away for more than half a month
He picked up 'Tinker Bell', oh, it was at least three kilograms heavier. He stroked his fur and it was shiny. It seemed that he was living a happy life these days.
After carrying 'Tinker Bell' into the office, his secretary Youyou found him and reported the general situation of the company these days. Finally, he added, "Mr. Gu will come to the company every other day."
Wang Lidong nodded, "I understand. Please call all department managers and there will be a meeting in the conference room in ten minutes."
Ten minutes later, he walked into the company conference room, said hello to everyone, and when everyone was there, he held a brief meeting.
Financial manager Xu Shenghui reported, "Mr. Xu, we have received a total of 3 accounts in the past ten days. On the 17th, Dingsheng Trading Company received 4.86 million yuan. On the 18th and 23rd, the sales department retailed fireworks totaling 270,000 yuan."
In terms of expenses, office expenses are 650,000 yuan. Sister Jia borrowed 250,000 yuan the day before yesterday, and now there is still 4.38 million yuan in the company account."
Wang Lidong nodded, and then looked at the sales manager. Zhao Zhisheng immediately reported the sales situation in the past ten days. There were no new orders in terms of fireworks orders, but in the wedding and birthday banquet market, he received 2 orders in ten days.
The orders include one for RMB 90,000 and one for RMB 18, and there are two more orders that have been almost negotiated. It is estimated that the total sales volume will be 30,000 yuan. "Mr. Xu, the market for wedding and birthday banquets has great potential. If we go all out to develop it,
, the sales volume should not be smaller than that of the fireworks market, but it needs to increase manpower, the salesperson’s reimbursement quota for car and phone bills is too small, and the logistics can’t keep up.”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Wang Lidong thought for a moment and said, "There are a total of 8 districts and counties in Mingzhu that can set off fireworks. We will recruit 2 more salesmen, plus the current two, and one person will do it."
In two districts and counties, the telephone bill has been raised to 200 yuan per month, and the fares will be reimbursed and the logistics aspect will be temporarily overcome. We will allocate special cars after the business volume increases."
The itinerary manager handed over a document, "Mr. Xu, this is the design plan for the new office."
Wang Lidong took it and looked through it, frowning slightly. The area of several offices was a bit large, especially his office, which was 40 square meters. He also added a fish tank at the entrance of the company with the sign 'Feng Shui Formation' on it.
No need to ask, it must have been Gu Jia's idea. He took a pen and revised the design. All offices were reduced in half, and the Feng Shui array and a few other bells and whistles were crossed out.
After the design, administration, and human resources departments finished reporting their work, the time came to five o'clock. Wang Lidong announced the adjournment of the meeting and returned home from get off work.
When the father-in-law saw his son-in-law coming home, he put down the newspaper in his hand and said, "He's back. How are your parents?"
Wang Lidong hugged his son who rushed up to him, kissed him twice, and said hello to his father-in-law, "The situation is not good. My mother is still living in the hospital. Dad, where is Gu Jia?"
My father-in-law said, "Jiajia has been busy with the dessert shop recently. Please give Jiajia a call."
Wang Lidong put down his son and dialed Gu Jia's number on his mobile phone. After two rings, the call was connected, "Hello, Gu Jia."
There was a sound of electric saws, and Gu Jia came outside the house with the phone in hand and said, "Hey, hubby, have you gotten off the plane?"
"I have already got home."
"I'm at the dessert shop and will be back in half an hour."
After he hung up the phone, he took out several gifts from the suitcase, including his father-in-law's sheepskin jacket, his son's kangaroo puppet toy, Sister Chen's wool blanket, and Gu Jia's is a set of color changing stones.
'jewelry
After almost an hour, the food on the dinner table was a little cold, and Gu Jia finally returned home.
Seeing that the gift was colorful stone jewelry, Gu Jia liked it very much. The family sat down and chatted while eating. Wang Lidong changed the contents of his trip to Australia beyond recognition. In summary, he took care of his mother in the hospital at night and was busy during the day.
Trying to find sellers for the ranch and house.
After Gu Jia asked about Xu's mother's situation, she became concerned about the situation of the ranch and the house, "How much can it be sold for?"
Wang Lidong swallowed the rice in his mouth and said, "The house can be sold for one million, but the ranch is in some trouble. There are too many farms hit by the disaster this time, and many farmers can't stand it anymore. There are listings everywhere.
There are not many people viewing the ranch for sale, and the highest price is only A$450,000.”
Gu Jia looked surprised and said, "So low?"
Father Xu on the side asked, "How much did it cost to buy the ranch?"
"A$2.08 million."
“Not even 30% off?”
Wang Lidong said helplessly, "This flood has destroyed all pastures and facilities. If we want to raise cattle and sheep again, we need to replant pastures, repair irrigation and sprinkler systems, and buy a large number of farm tools. The total amount is estimated to be
It’s going to be millions.”
Gu Jia asked, "What about the insurance? It's been almost two months, and the insurance company's compensation hasn't been paid yet?"
Wang Lidong sighed and said, "We are still wrangling. The insurance company said that the flood was mainly caused by the ocean and was not covered by the claim. The farmers are preparing to join forces to file a lawsuit with the insurance company."
He didn't want to talk more about this aspect, so the topic turned to the dessert house. Gu Jia immediately talked about the dessert house with excitement. In her vision, the dessert house would become an afternoon leisure place for ladies in the entire Junyue Mansion community.
Venue, "Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Yu, and Mrs. Qian all agreed that my dessert house would be the first choice for future gatherings or small activities. By the way, last week, Mrs. Yu's husband won the right to operate the Changzhou Animation Valley Theme Park.
My wife promised to help with the project. If it goes well, our company can get another big deal. Next year our company’s turnover will reach 20 million, and the annual profit will reach 4 million."
"Wife, thank you for your hard work. Our family is getting better and better because of you." Wang Lidong raised his glass and said to his son, "Ziyan, let's toast mom together and thank her for her contribution to this family."
The dedication and hard work.”
Ziyan picked up the juice, raised the glass happily and said, "Mom is the best. Mom is the best."
Gu Jia smiled and clinked glasses with the family. After a few words of modesty, she said to Wang Lidong, "Huan Shan, there is something I want to discuss with you."
Wang Lidong picked up a piece of white chopped chicken and dipped it in the seasoning, "Wife, tell me."
"I want to enroll Ziyan in three interest classes."
"So many? What class?"
Gu Jia talked eloquently, "Golf, etiquette courses and fencing classes. Nowadays, famous foreign schools have higher recognition of sports such as golf and fencing. When Ziyan studies abroad and applies for famous schools in the future, these items will give him extra points. Mrs. Yu, Liu
Madam and their sons have all signed up."
Wang Lidong thought to himself that the previous sentences were all nonsense. The most important thing was to deepen the relationship with Mrs. Yu. He glanced at his son, and the little face that was smiling just now was wrinkled, "Zi Yan's education is all
You make up your mind. If you think it's good, just sign up. By the way, how much are the tuition fees for these three classes?"
Gu Jia rubbed her son's head and said, "In total, it's almost more than 400,000 yuan a year."
Wow, your tone is really not small.
Even before the money was in his pocket, he was already ready to go. Wang Lidong waved his hand to express his full support for his wife's decision.
The father-in-law's eyes widened. He remembered that his grandson had just signed up for an equestrian class a while ago. The annual tuition was more than 200,000 plus one yuan, which is more than 600,000. If the kindergarten tuition was included, the annual cost was
It's just his daughter's idea to spend a million dollars. As a biological father, he can't undermine his daughter. Moreover, the son-in-law didn't say anything. He glanced at his little grandson and sighed in his heart.
Then Gu Jia talked about some things that happened these days. Zhong Xiaoqin and Chen Yu divorced. I heard that she and her little brother were very close recently.
The whole family had a great dinner. The only one who was unhappy was the child Xu Ziyan. Soon he would have to have a few more classes that he didn't like, but no one cared about his feelings. Children have no human rights.
In the evening, Wang Lidong and Gu Jia were very energetic. They hadn't exercised in more than ten days. It wasn't until midnight that the room gradually became quiet.
In the next few days, Gu Jia was so busy that no one was seen. Wang Lidong had to get off work early every day to pick up his son from the kindergarten, and took Xu Ziyan to participate in various extracurricular tutoring classes, equestrian classes, fencing classes, and English classes.
The guy was tortured enough, but Wang Lidong got to know a lot of people in the wife circle, and he had a good chat with two of them. Mrs. Cheng, thirty-two years old, with an oval face, was a dancer in an art troupe, and her husband was a small shareholder of a listed company.
Mrs. Sun, thirty-three years old, looks a lot like Sour and Sweet, a third-tier starlet, and her husband is in real estate.
I don’t know who told Gu Jia that there was some gossip between him and the two of them. After picking up and dropping off his son for more than ten days, Gu Jia took over the job of picking up and dropping off his son from school again.
Wang Lidong was very unhappy with Gu Jia's distrust of him. It was just a chat. Although he liked beautiful women, he would never interfere with married women. He was a moral person with a bottom line when it came to being a third party.
man.
That day he received a call from Australia. The person calling him was Xiao Liu, Citibank’s full-time customer service officer, telling him that the patent application had been accepted and that the business license of Huanxian Trading Company had also been approved.
A week later, Wang Lidong got the legal opening certificate of Huanxian Trading Company, which is a document similar to a business license that we often call in China. It is a document that proves registration with the government. In foreign countries, it is generally called a registration certificate.
When the investor's business opening certificate is notarized and authenticated, the document will first be notarized by a local notary, and then sent to the country's foreign education department or its dispatched agency for certification. Finally, it will be certified by the Sihai Age Affairs Office in that country, and then a professional professional will be found.
The agency company for industrial and commercial registration of foreign-funded companies registered a new company in Mingzhu Investment in the name of Australia Huanxian Trading.
The business manager of the agency company checked the information and found that there were no gaps. He asked, "Mr. Xu, the name of the new company, its registered capital, and its business scope."
"It's called Mingzhu Xianxian Trading Company, with a registered capital of 1 million Australian dollars, and its scope is fireworks trade and tea."
"I remember your company also provides office rental services, right?"
The business manager nodded hurriedly and said with a smile, "Yes, how big of an office does Mr. Xu want to rent? In what location? What are the rent requirements?"
Wang Lidong said, "Help me find a chemistry laboratory with an area of about 1,000 square meters. The address is Zhangjiang or Wujuechang Biological Park. The rent is 35 yuan/square meter."
Jie Hong Fireworks Company
"Okay, District Manager, I will definitely ask the finance department to transfer your money to you next Monday."
"District President, we have been cooperating for five or six years. I, Shen Jie, have never said anything that I have never forgotten."
"Yes, Monday morning. Okay, thank you, District Manager. Next time you come to Mingzhu, you must give me a call and let me show my kindness as a landlord."
Shen Jie put down the phone and rubbed his temples. The company's business has declined sharply recently. Orders from several old customers have been cut in half or canceled altogether. These customers are all trading companies exporting to Europe. I heard that there have been many cities there recently.
Pushing for permanent ban on fireworks
I made some mental calculations, and found that the total orders were missing by more than 6 million, but the various expenses were not reduced, and my head was aching.
"I will love you even if I die." The ringtone of his cell phone rang. He looked at the caller ID and read "Xu Huanshan" and pressed the keypad to connect. "Hello, Lao Xu, are you back from Australia?"
Wang Lidong played with a small glass bottle in his hand and said, "Shen Jie, what the hell is your memory? It's been more than half a month since you came back. Didn't you receive the gift I sent you?"
Shen Jie patted his head and said, "I've been busy with too many things recently. I forgot. I'm sorry. Thank you for the leather jacket."
Wang Lidong said, "Do you have time today? Come to my company and show you something good."
Shen Jie asked curiously, "What good stuff? Tell me on the phone. I really can't leave. I have a lot of things on my hands. I have to go to Hunan Province tomorrow."
Wang Lidong smiled and said, "I can't explain it clearly on the phone. I guarantee you won't regret it after you come!"
Shen Jie thought for a moment and then said, "How about we have dinner together tonight? We haven't gotten together since you came back."
Wang Lidong said, "It's always the same with Su Su. I haven't eaten Huaiyang cuisine for a long time."
Shen Jie said, "Okay, then you can reserve a seat. By the way, the time will be later, after 7:30."
"no problem."
At eight o'clock in the evening, Shen Jie hurried to the Zhesu Hotel in the International Financial Center on Pudong Avenue, entered the box, and immediately apologized a few times when he saw Wang Lidong.
Wang Lidong looked at his friend, with two dark circles on his face, looking like he was overly eccentric, and quickly mentioned to Shen Jie that the boss is not young anymore, so he can no longer fool around at night, "By the way, I know an old Chinese medicine doctor who wants to
Don’t you want to ask for a prescription to make up for it?”
"Go away!" Shen Jieyang said angrily, "Even in another twenty years, I won't be able to use this kind of thing. You should enjoy it yourself." "There was an accident at the fireworks factory the day before yesterday. I
I haven’t slept well in the past two days.”
Wang Lidong picked up the teapot and poured a cup of hot tea for his friend, "What happened to the fireworks factory?"
Shen Jie picked up the tea cup, took two sips and said, "Nothing happened to my factory, but the factory next door exploded. Four people died and a dozen were injured. I heard that not only the legal person was arrested, but several major shareholders were also arrested by relevant departments.
Please go and have tea for a long time.”
Wang Lidong greeted the waiter on the side, "It's time to serve the food." Then he said to Shen Jie, "It's not like something happened to your factory. You're just worried."
"Maybe one day it will fall on my head."
Wang Lidong rolled his eyes, "You are worrying unfoundedly. You worry all day long, why not do something serious, such as changing the director of your fireworks factory. With his management level, something will happen sooner or later."
"I have this plan, but I don't have a good excuse. Lao Xu, you have a lot of clever ideas. Help me come up with one."
At this time, two waiters brought several cold dishes into the private room, including black truffle, foie gras, lettuce, celery, jellyfish head, chicken, phoenix tail and green bamboo shoots. Wang Lidong's stomach rumbled a few times. He picked up the kuaizi and said,
"First, let's pacify your stomach. It's already half past eight, so it's not dinner but supper."
After the two had a few bites, Wang Lidong said, "This matter is too simple. Ninety-nine percent of your wife's uncle is unclean. Check his account, get the evidence, and tell him to get out. By the way,
Clear out all your wife's relatives and replace them with your people."
Shen Jie thought about it and thought it was a good idea, but the financial manager of the factory was also a relative on his wife's side. It seemed that he had to find an opportunity to change the financial manager of the factory. He picked up the juice cup and touched one with Wang Lidong, "I want it."
Show me something good?"
Wang Lidong took out a small transparent glass bottle from his pocket. Shen Jie took the small bottle and looked at it. There was no label on the bottle. It was white powder. He shook it and saw nothing. "What is it?"
"Blue fireworks stabilizer. The name is, 'ptz'," Wang Lidong briefly explained the effect of 'ptz'. After hearing this, Shen Jie's eyes lit up and he said, "Old Xu, where did you get this good thing?"
