At eight o'clock in the evening, we arrived in Lanzhou.
There are less than two thousand kilometers left to our destination, which means we have already walked half the distance.
Next, we will continue along the Lianhuo Expressway and we will arrive almost tomorrow evening.
I would also report my situation to An Lan on time to avoid her worry, but I did not tell her what I was doing and planned to tell her when I got back.
Continuous driving has made me feel very tired. I would not have felt this way before I was thirty. Now I rarely run long distances.
This night, Xiao Siya didn't sleep because we switched on and off during the day and also slept, so we were still energetic at night.
She meant that we should switch driving modes at night, and I agreed, which would make me feel better.
After filling up the tank at the gas station and setting off, I asked her: "I really don't understand. Why are you looking for raw materials in such a far away place? Isn't there other places besides Xinjiang?"
Xiao Siya smiled and said, "Not really. You can go and find out about Tiancan Yun Silk."
I have a strong thirst for knowledge, so I immediately took out my phone and started searching.
It doesn't matter if I don't search, I was really shocked when I searched.
My understanding of the field of clothing is indeed shallow. I didn't expect that this company has a history of hundreds of years.
Their production techniques are relatively traditional, but their silk fabrics are of the highest quality, and they have been cooperating with large foreign companies before.
Their scale is not large, but their reputation is shocking both at home and abroad.
No wonder Xiao Siya was willing to drive thousands of miles to come here in person, just because it was so important.
Xiao Siya is right, if it falls into the hands of Li Liyang, it will be a disaster for us!
"How is it? Do you understand clearly?" Xiao Siya asked me after seeing me put down my phone.
"I understood it clearly and it shocked me."
"So, you have to win over them and get them to cooperate with your company."
"Then are they willing? After all, our company is too small."
"With me here, what are you worried about? What we have to do now is to strike first."
"Okay, I'll follow your orders."
"But there is one thing I have to make clear to you."
Xiao Siya suddenly became serious and said in a deep voice: "Do you know why I want you to come with me in person?"
"Didn't you say that it's better to strike first?"
"But I can definitely communicate on the phone!"
After a pause, she continued: "The reason why I made this trip is because their company has had a lot of personnel changes recently, and I'm afraid that the people I interacted with before no longer have real power."
"Ah! This, could this be Li Liyang's fault again?" I said in great astonishment.
Xiao Siya shook her head and said: "He is not that capable yet, but the internal situation of Tiancan Yunxiang is a bit complicated. They were originally several companies merged into one, so there are several people in charge."
I frowned and said, "In other words, you are afraid that the person in charge who you were dealing with no longer has real power, right?"
"Yes, she is my college classmate. She told me about her situation on the phone before. I was very sad."
"What do you mean? Tell me clearly, so as not to go there and not know anything."
Xiao Siya patiently told me: "Her name is Anal, and her father is one of the partners of Tiancan Yun Silk Company. Her father used business marriage to let her marry the son of one of the partners.
After the two families merged into one, they accounted for 70% of the company's shares, but now only 20% is in the hands of Anal."
I was a little confused after hearing this. After a while, I said, "Can you explain it more clearly?"
"Simply, 50% of the shares of Tiancan Yun Silk Company are in the hands of Anal's husband, while she only has 20%, and the remaining 30% is in the hands of several other partners."
"Well, what then?"
"Anal has no relationship with her husband. If we can help her resolve this matter, then there will be no problem."
I smiled bitterly and said, "Auntie, this is someone else's family matter, how can we get involved?"
"Her husband is not a good person. He drinks alcohol all day long and blatantly picks up mistresses. Shouldn't such a person be punished?"
I smiled bitterly again and said, "But that's also someone else's business. If it doesn't work out, I'll get divorced."
"By the way, you got to the point. Divorce is no problem, but Anael has dedicated so much to the company, is that all?"
"Then what do you want to do?"
Xiao Siya took a deep breath and said: "I have already contacted Anal. When we arrive in Urumqi, she will be waiting for us at the highway intersection. Let's talk after we meet!"
"It seems you have already planned it!"
It seems that you really can’t underestimate women!
It's so fierce that I can't stop it.
But, I have a hunch that something will happen this time.
It won't be that easy, but I've been pushed to the limit and there's no way out.
I also didn't expect that a simple trip to Shenzhen would cause so many things.
But these things are indeed crucial to the development of our company.
Of course I won't back down. If I just give up this opportunity, I don't know how long I will have to wait for such an opportunity.
…
At 7pm the next day, we finally arrived in Urumqi.
Before getting off the highway, Xiao Siya got in touch with the classmate named Anal.
When we got off the highway, she was already waiting for us at the highway intersection.
Xiao Siya took me to get to know her. What I didn't expect was that this woman was also quite beautiful, a bit like Dilireba.
With a high nose bridge, big eyes, sunken eye sockets, and a relatively tall figure, Xinjiang women seem to be very good-looking.
Even when Xiao Siya stood in front of her, she felt like she was being overshadowed. Xiao Siya was shorter than her, but fortunately her temperament was not outweighed.
After taking me over, Xiao Siya smiled and said to Anal: "Nana, this is what I told you before. He used to be the chairman of Yuanfeng Group and is now the general manager of Yalan Clothing.
.”
Ana'er looked at me, smiled, stretched out her jade-like hand to me, and said, "Hello."
Her voice doesn't smell like mutton kebabs at all. If she didn't look like a Xinjiang native, I would have doubted whether she was a Xinjiang native.
After such a simple acquaintance, Anal said to Xiao Siya: "Xiao Ya, follow me in the car. I will take you to the hotel to stay first, and we will discuss it later."
After we got back to the car, I sighed: "This classmate of yours is very good-looking! You also said that her husband doesn't like her?"
Xiao Siya smiled bitterly and said, "There are some people here! They are just not satisfied. They feel that domestic flowers are not fragrant and want to try wild flowers."
"But I just feel the fragrance of flowers at home."
Xiao Siya smiled and said, "You think everyone is the same as you!"
As she spoke, she started the car and followed closely behind the BMW Z4 driven by Anal.
It is already half past seven in the evening, but it is still bright in Xinjiang.
I have been to Xinjiang before, and it usually gets dark after ten o'clock in the evening in summer, so this time is afternoon for Xinjiang.
This instantaneous transformation of time and space makes people feel novel and exciting.
Of course, I also vaguely felt that I had been involved in a business struggle and could not turn back.
