"Sister Meng, it's so new. How fast society is developing now. To use a word, it's changing with each passing day."
"If you don't develop, you will regress. There will always be people behind you who want to take you over. I have a senior and a junior, and there is a strong girl in the middle to support. How can I slack off?" Xia Zekai didn't say anything at all.
Talked.
Meng Jie glanced at him: "Hehe, hehe!"
Xia Zekai was embarrassed when he saw it, and then he said seriously: "Sister Meng, there is really no way. There are more than thirty workers to support. I gritted my teeth and bought another piece of land some time ago, thinking about building my own factory and expanding the scale.
But the construction of the factory over there hasn’t started yet, and it can’t be stopped here, otherwise how can I repay the loan of hundreds of thousands a month?”
"A month...hundreds of thousands, haha!" Meng Jie thought it was better to stop talking. If she continued, she would vomit blood.
It was too fast. She and Xia Zekai met in April, and now September is almost halfway. Even though they have known each other for five and a half months, she is still the same, running this store, and there is no big improvement.
But look at how a little brother who bought equipment from him has developed to this point.
"How is Pan Zi doing lately?" Meng Jie asked a digression.
Xia Zekai understood, he said: "You ask Sister Pan, her family moved from Lin'ao Community and now lives in Century Garden. I usually can't see her anymore, but there will be one in Jicheng this Saturday.
Sister Pan will go to the Internet Summit when the time comes."
"That means you have to go too." Meng Jie was a very smart person and understood it as soon as she thought about it.
Xia Zekai did not deny it. He nodded: "I wrote a few popular articles, so Sister Pan had to drag me along."
"Brother Xia, I have read all the articles you wrote. They are so good. Why haven't you updated them recently?" Meng Jie asked him.
Xia Zekai felt as if he had been caught by a 'fan' and questioned him face to face. He was a little embarrassed.
"There's been a lot going on lately, there's a lot of mess at home..." Xia Zekai made an excuse for himself.
But Meng Jie saw through him at a glance and said: "To put it bluntly, you are still lazy. Brother Xia, you have to be more diligent and write more, otherwise we will just read other people's articles."
Returning to the topic, she said: "In terms of equipment, I can also solve the oven and boiler problems for you. I really can't solve the other problems, but if you really can't find a way, I can help you.
You introduce someone."
"What are you doing?" Xia Zekai asked.
Meng Jie said: "He specializes in buying equipment. He can find any equipment. If you don't have enough money, he can get second-hand equipment and imported equipment for you."
"Good guy, another master with great magical powers." Xia Zekai sighed with emotion.
Meng Jie laughed: "I am the one who eats this bowl of rice."
This image made Xia Zekai immediately think of Zhang Xu, who had always been in contact with him. Isn't that brother the one who 'eats this bowl of rice'?
"Okay, I'll look for it again. If I really can't find the right one, I'll have to ask Sister Meng to introduce it to me." Xia Zekai said.
They are all ‘old acquaintances’. Meng Jie waved her hand: “It’s just a trivial matter, not worth mentioning.”
Xia Zekai left Meng Jie. When he saw Meng Jie just now, he remembered something. He still owed Sister Pan's other friend Wei Runan 100,000 yuan. He had agreed to repay the principal before the end of the year.
Pay her back with interest.
If you don't have money, forget it, but now you have some spare money, Xia Zekai is thinking about paying it back as soon as possible. They are all friends, and it will easily hurt others' hearts if you keep putting it off.
Thinking of this, he started digging through the address book in his hand, and finally found Wei Runan's phone number and called her.
Thinking that this was the first elder sister he knew who drove a BMW, Xia Zekai found it quite interesting.
After getting through the phone, Xia Zekai asked her where she was.
Wei Runan told him: "I'm at RT-Mart. Is there anything wrong with Boss Xia?"
"Sister Wei, let me pay you back the money I lent you last time. Forget it, I'd better go over there and tell you in person?" Xia Zekai said.
Unexpectedly, Wei Runan said directly: "Don't worry, if you need money, use it first. I can't use it now."
Wei Runan's tone was quite heroic.
Xia Zekai was stunned by her aristocratic aura, thinking that this eldest sister seemed to be really rich, otherwise she would be able to say this.
"Sister Wei, I have some savings now. I'd better send it to you first. If I need the money next time, I'll borrow it from you, okay?" Xia Zekai said this.
Wei Runan said 'hmm' and said, "Yes, why not? Boss Xia, you can come directly to RT-Mart. I will wait for you at the entrance to the supermarket on the second floor."
"Okay, I'll be there in ten minutes." When Xia Zekai heard that it was RT-Mart, not far away, he quickly drove there.
Today is Monday, most people have gone to work, and at this time in the morning, there are obviously fewer cars on the road.
The journey to RT-Mart was smooth sailing. Xia Zekai took the elevator to the second floor with familiarity, then turned to the left. When he reached the end, he turned around and looked for Wei Runan.
Before he could see clearly, someone called him: "Boss Xia, I'm here."
Xia Zekai took a look and saw that Wei Runan was in the children's playground opposite him. After seeing him, Wei Runan also opened the door and came out.
Xia Zekai took a few steps forward and bumped into Wei Runan. He even asked specifically: "Sister Wei, are you bringing your children here to play today?"
"You're just kidding, I'm driving this. I have nothing to do, so come and check out the place." Wei Runan was as straightforward as ever.
Xia Zekai was shocked: "Sister Wei, you drove this too?"
Wei Runan nodded: "Yes, it was me who drove it. Why are you surprised?"
Xia Zekai shook his head: "This makes money."
"It's not bad, I can make a living anyway." Wei Runan said.
This pussy filled her up so much that Xia Zekai wanted to reply, "Worm".
The two chatted for a while, and Xia Zekai asked Wei Runan for an account number. He said, "Sister Wei, I will transfer it to you using online banking when I get home later. Remember to check it."
"Boss Xia, if you are short of money, don't worry." Wei Runan was very generous and seemed to regard money as nothing.
Xia Zekai nodded: "Don't worry, Sister Wei, I won't be short of money during this period."
When Wei Runan heard what he said, he looked at him twice, then slapped Xia Zekai on the shoulder and laughed: "Sure, it seems that Boss Xia has made a lot of money recently."
"It's not bad. There are several people in the family, just trying to make ends meet." Xia Zekai said.
"Bah, you're pretending to be like that." Wei Runan despised him in turn.
"Sister Wei, you are busy first. I will go to the supermarket to buy some things and then go back and transfer the money to you." Xia Zekai pointed to the entrance of RT-Mart Supermarket. He had already come here and would not buy some daily necessities or gas money.
All in vain.
"I'm thinking of treating you to a meal later!" Wei Runan said.
Xia Zekai waved his hand: "No, no, I'll finish my work another day. I'll invite Sister Wei."
After Xia Zekai entered the supermarket, he bought some common supplies such as toilet paper, tissue paper, and wet wipes. He also bought some snacks for his two daughters and some sanitary napkins for his wife for later use.
After pushing the shopping cart down from the second floor, Xia Zekai went to buy some fresh vegetables, meat, ribs, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.
He was still thinking about buying some seafood, but he could tell at a glance that the seafood from RT-Mart was not as fresh as the ones at the seafood market.
After finishing, Xia Zekai paid and left.
I drove back home first, put down my things, turned on my computer at home, and transferred the money to her with interest according to the account number given by Wei Runan.
Seeing that there was still a 7-digit deposit in his online banking account, Xia Zekai felt steady and happy.
Not surprisingly, for a long time to come, in addition to receiving a monthly fixed salary from the factory, Xia Zekai will invest the remaining money directly into the construction of the new company, which means that he will not have a lot of money in his pocket.
of input.
"You have to save some money, the house will be renovated soon, and I don't know how much it will cost then." Xia Zekai muttered.
After making lunch at home, Xia Zekai took a nap and went to Jingtong Food Factory in the afternoon.
Lu Huan, Jiang Yuan, and Wei Deyuan were all back. When Xia Zekai came over, he called Lu Huan over directly.
"Boss, are you looking for me?"
Xia Zekai nodded and asked: "Lao Lu, do you know anyone who makes automated food production equipment? I'm thinking that if we directly install automated equipment in the next step, we can further increase production capacity and reduce labor costs."
Without reducing headcount and salary, labor costs are a hurdle that cannot be overcome.
Xia Zekai is not a jerk. He is thinking about focusing on the future from now on and trying to solve some problems as early as possible.
Lu Chen nodded and said: "I know two companies, but automation equipment is quite expensive. We are building a new factory now. I think if the boss really wants to get automation equipment, it is better to wait and put the new equipment in the new factory.
there."
"Here, even if we buy automation equipment, our workshop space is only so big and we can't fit it in." Lu Huan explained in detail.
Xia Zekai nodded: "Okay, let's continue to focus on the dense crowd tactics, which can be regarded as reserving talents for large-scale production expansion in advance."
Thinking of this, he said to Lu Chen: "Lao Lu, you can go over and tell Wang Yewei later that when we recruit people next time, we will focus on recruiting people with a college degree or above. We will also start to reserve talents."
This sentence made Lu Chen work very energetically. He was not afraid that the boss would be a bastard, but that he would not be able to tell the difference between east, west, north and south.
Fortunately, through these few months of contact and understanding, he was able to convince himself that Xia Zekai was not a willful person, and that was fine.
"Okay, I'll go see Director Wang soon." Lu Chen nodded and agreed.
