When Xia Zekai returned to the community, it was less than four o'clock. He simply stopped going upstairs. He called his wife and said, "Daughter-in-law, please don't come down. I'll pick up Yatou and Tongtong."
"Okay, I'm busy cooking too. You can pick them up later, just in time for dinner!" After Luo Xiyun finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
At the entrance of the kindergarten affiliated to the Municipal Government Primary School, Xia Zekai came early today, and there were not many people waiting here.
After Xia Zekai came over, he had nothing to do. He took out his mobile phone to surf the Internet and read the information. At this time, the news about the market crash was overwhelming, and the reasons for the crash were also released. After all, it boiled down to this:
Four words 'European Debt Crisis'!
When seeing this result, Xia Zekai was thoughtful. He remembered that the European debt crisis lasted for a long time after the 2008 financial crisis.
If this is the case, everything will be explained. Xia Zekai secretly thought to himself, no matter what the crisis was, he was of great help this time.
While he was thinking about it, Xia Zekai's cell phone buzzed and vibrated, and then the ringtone also rang. He glanced at the name 'Sun Xu' written on the screen. He was guessing what Sun Xu would say. The next moment, he answered
Got on the phone.
Then I heard Sun Xu say: "Brother Xia, do you have time now?"
"Brother, just tell me if you have something to do." Xia Zekai said.
Sun Xu said: "I'd like to meet and talk with you."
"Hey, brother, otherwise, your brothers and sisters have already cooked at home, how about you come to my place for dinner?" Xia Zekai said.
He said: "I am picking up my daughter from school at the entrance of the kindergarten, and I can't go to your place."
"That's it, then I won't bother you." Sun Xu agreed.
After hanging up the phone, Xia Zekai called his wife again and told her that Sun Xu would come over for dinner later.
Luo Xiyun said: "I will cook two more dishes."
"Yeah!" Xia Zekai responded.
After finishing, Xia Zekai continued to browse the news on his mobile phone, and then logged on to QQ on his mobile phone to see what information there was.
One of the messages in the QQ group attracted him. It said 'Jigong 0105 Classmates Group'. Liu Yanyi, an old classmate in the group, sent a message: "I said to you old classmates, do you all have time? Let's find a day.
Get together."
Judging from the time of sending the message, after sending this message, there was silence for a long time before someone responded to the first message. It was Gong Qingfeng who said: "Okay, I have no problem, where will the party be?"
.”
"I don't necessarily think so. I have two children to look after now and I don't have any time for myself," Gao Hongyun said.
"Hey, Hongyun, when did you get married? Why did you get married so quickly? You already have two children." The person who spoke was called Li Cheng.
Li Wenjing followed up and said, "Hongyun, have you given birth to twins? What is the password to your space photo album? Send it to me quickly so I can take a look."
"We were talking about the party, but why did it get involved with the children? I asked whether we should get together. It has been 10 years since we met, and we haven't gotten together once since we graduated." Liu Yanyi said.
.
"I have time, but I don't know how everyone's time is?" Liu Zongbin, who had been silent, said.
"I also have time. Let's make a date so that I can ask my boss to take a break in advance. Old Liu is right. It has been 7 years since graduation and we have known each other for almost 10 years. It's time to get together." Teng Shuai
said.
"How about this? I'll send out a group announcement. Anyone who wants to come can sign up voluntarily and the cost will be shared equally, right?" He Pan sent a message.
Others sent an 'OK' gesture one after another.
Then there was an additional message in the group announcement of the QQ group: "Dear classmates, we are now planning to organize the 'Jigong 0105 10th Anniversary Alumni Reunion'. Based on the principle of voluntariness, all expenses during the party are AA. Please participate enthusiastically."
It was He Panfa, she was quite nimble in her actions.
But Xia Zekai has been very busy recently. He has not logged in to his QQ account. When he saw the message today, four days had passed. The group announcement showed that in addition to the people above, there were six other people attending the party.
After signing up, there are already 14 people there, which is quite a lot of people.
But compared with the more than fifty people in their class at the beginning, it was still less.
Xia Zekai thought for a while and sent his registration information to He Pan, who compiled the list.
"Old classmate, what are you doing? I haven't seen you talking in the group." He Pan sent a message not long after.
She continued: "Okay, I have recorded your information. In the first half of a month, we will see how many people have signed up. If not, we will set a date."
"Well, I don't have a problem. I usually just work around. I've been very busy recently and I don't use QQ much. I just saw the information about the party." Xia Zekai said honestly.
"That's it, let's do this for now. I have something else to do here, let's talk later." After He Pan finished speaking, he got busy.
Xia Zekai put away his cell phone, stamped his feet, and wondered why it was still so cold when the first month of the year was almost over.
"Jingle Bell……"
A crisp bell sounded, and the parents waiting at the entrance of the kindergarten also shouted and squeezed towards the entrance of the kindergarten. Who said that queuing is not easy.
Xia Zekai slowly walked forward behind the crowd, and before he knew it, he reached the front. He saw Yatou, Tongtong, and niece Amy standing there holding hands and waiting. When Teacher Kaixin saw him, he
He shouted: "Xia Jingya's father is here, you three, please go slowly."
"Thank you, teacher!" The three little girls shouted thank you very sensibly, and then walked out hand in hand.
As soon as they stepped out of the kindergarten, their appearance changed: "Wow, Dad, Dad, I miss you so much."
"Dad, hug me quickly, I don't want to leave."
"Uncle, my grandma?"
"Amy, I'm here." Aunt Li Liyun's voice came from behind.
Xia Zekai looked back and saw that his second brother's mother-in-law was still lining up behind him.
"Auntie, I didn't see you just now." Xia Zekai greeted her.
Li Liyun said: "I went out late and just came here."
As they walked to the community together, Li Liyun also said: "Zekai, I rarely see you coming to pick them up these days. Xiyun came to pick them up."
"Well, I happen to be quite busy recently, so I changed it." Xia Zekai said.
Li Liyun nodded: "If you ask me, tell Xiyun not to go to work. If you want to be busy, just do something else. Don't rely on time to go to work from 9 to 5. You are doing well this way."
"Look at your second brother and second sister-in-law. They don't take care of the children most of the time. Your second brother comes home and sometimes gets busy in the evening and can only talk on the phone for an hour or two. Your sister-in-law has a job.
It also relies on time. I only have one day off a week to worry about people." The old man babbled casually.
Xia Zekai listened with a smile. When he arrived at the gate of the community, Xia Zekai said, "Auntie, take them back first, and I'll pick up Jingrui."
"Oh, just let me pick them up. You can take them back." The aunt disagreed, but Xia Zekai had already walked to the other side of the road first, and Wang Yi followed behind.
When Xia Zekai brought Jingrui back, his cell phone rang again. It was Sun Xu calling him and asking what building he lived in.
"Brother Sun, I'm downstairs, where are you?" Xia Zekai asked Jingrui to go upstairs first. He looked around below but saw no one.
Not long after, a car drove over. Sun Xu got out of the car. Xia Zekai went up and shook hands with him.
This time Sun Xu was alone, and his female secretary did not follow him.
"Brother, let's go. Your brothers and sisters have already prepared the dishes. Let's go up and have two more drinks." Xia Zekai said.
"I've caused trouble for Brother Xia today, and I feel very uneasy." As Sun Xu spoke, his driver took out several gift boxes from the trunk of the car, including toys, nutritional supplements, expensive wine, and
There are small gifts, which are quite prepared.
Xia Zekai glanced at me and said, "Brother, you are too polite."
"Hey, it's all my heart. Let's go, let's go, you will lead the way." Sun Xu said.
The two of them went upstairs together, and the driver followed behind and carried the things up.
As soon as Xia Zekai took the key and opened the door, he heard the shouts of several children.
"Brother, please come in!" Xia Zekai said.
The two of them went in, and the driver went in behind and put down his things, and then went out again.
"Zekai, are you back?" Luo Xiyun's voice came from the kitchen.
Xia Zekai shouted: "Daughter-in-law, Brother Sun is here. Are the dishes finished?"
"It's all ready. Come over quickly and help me carry it." Luo Xiyun said.
Xia Zekai chuckled: "Brother, look, we're back just in time. Come and sit down quickly, and I'll bring out the dishes."
Luo Xiyun had already started to serve the food outside. When she saw Sun Xu, she smiled and shouted: "Brother Sun, you are here."
"Brother and sister, I'm causing trouble for you today." Sun Xu had already met Luo Xiyun at the 'Top Ten Outstanding Entrepreneurs in Qicheng' award ceremony, but he never expected that Luo Xiyun could wear an apron and go to the kitchen and cook well.
vegetable.
This made him feel a little dazed. His wife was also good at cooking, but after he socialized a lot, he gradually stopped going home. He even forgot how long it was when he last ate food cooked by his wife.
Already.
Luo Xiyun said carelessly: "Brother Sun is joking. It's no trouble. Sit down quickly. You can drink less and eat more vegetables later. It will be good for your health."
Look, Sun Xu clearly said that he shouldn't drink too much. Sun Xu glanced at Xia Zekai, but saw that he also looked over. The two of them laughed almost at the same time: "Don't worry, brother and sister, I won't drink too much today."
"Oh, you two are such a good couple, I envy you." Sun Xu sighed in his heart.
Xia Zekai and Luo Xiyun carried the wine back and forth several times before filling up the restaurant table. Xia Zekai went to the wine cabinet to get a bottle of wine, first filled it for Sun Xu, and then filled it for himself.
Sun Xuzheng said: "Brothers and sisters, please sit down together."
Luo Xiyun pointed to the toy room: "Brother Sun, you drink first, and I'll go and see the children. There are several children together, they are so naughty."
"Haha, okay, let them come together." Sun Xu warned, and he and Xia Zekai drank first.
Luo Xiyun called the girl, Tongtong and Amy out of the toy room together, and kept saying: "Be obedient, wash your hands and eat first, and we will play after eating."
"Okay, mom, I'm hungry." Tongtong shouted, holding her belly with a pair of dirty paws.
Amy also shouted: "Auntie, I'm hungry too."
Even though the girl is not hungry, she still looks back at the toy room from time to time and wants to continue playing.
But Luo Xiyun had already taken Tongtong and Amy to wash their hands. When the girl saw that no one was playing with her, she simply gave up her struggle and went to wash her hands and eat.
When Luo Xiyun brought them over, Sun Xu saw three little girls of about the same age. His eyes widened: "Brother, are these all your children?"
"Brother, stop joking, how can you!" Xia Zekai pointed at Yatou and Tongtong and said, "They are twins."
Then he pointed at his nephew Amy and said, "This is my second brother's niece downstairs, dear."
"Hey, I still have two older brothers." Sun Xu really didn't expect this, let alone the fact that the brothers lived upstairs and downstairs, which made him quite envious.
Xia Zekai chuckled and said, "We are cousins, the same grandfather, and we have always had a good relationship."
"Yes, I also have a cousin, but he broke into Shencheng in his early years and settled there, and rarely interacts with him." Speaking of this, Sun Xu said with emotion: "Brother, to be honest, I envy you."
"Haha!" Xia Zekai laughed for a while and asked the girl and the three of them to shout "Uncle", which made Sun Xu so happy that he had to pay for them and give them red envelopes.
Before he finished the glass of wine, Sun Xu remembered something and said, "Brother, why don't you call your second brother up and drink together? There are so many people."
"My second brother hasn't finished his work yet. He came up to pick up Amy after he finished his work," Xia Zekai said.
"What does he do? He is still busy at this point, and he is doing his own business?"
Xia Zekai nodded: "Those who do logistics have their own stores in Liangxiang Logistics Park and Hongyun Logistics Park, but it has not been easy to work in the past two years. He often goes to Zhoucheng recently, and his business is not doing well.
, a lot of things.”
"That's right." Sun Xu nodded. He knew this. Kelan Chemical shipped a lot of goods every day, so he didn't care much about this kind of thing.
When he had his second cup, Xia Yunhui came up covered in dust. He had just come back not long ago, with obvious fatigue on his face.
As soon as I entered the door, I heard my mother-in-law say that after returning from school, Amy followed Yatou and Tongtong upstairs to play with toys, and he stopped barking.
"Brother, you're back. Come sit down and have a drink together." Xia Zekai said.
Luo Xiyun also said: "Second brother, Amy has finished her meal and went to play again. You sit down first and I will make two more dishes."
Seeing that his cousin had guests here, Xia Yunhui thought about going back as soon as possible, but Sun Xu called him out: "Brother, you and Brother Xia are brothers. I am a few years older. If you don't mind, I will call you that."
Xia Zekai introduced them to them. When his cousin said that Sun Xu was the boss of Kelan Shares, Xia Yunhui was still thinking that the people his cousin knew were getting more and more impressive.
Sun Xu also said: "I was talking about you to brother Xia just now. How big is your shipment volume?"
When Sun Xu asked, Xia Yunhui didn't think about anything else. He said: "It's okay. Normally, it's no problem to send seven or eight cars a day. If there are more, I can send eleven or two cars."
"Oh, you are really quite capable. Do you have your own car?" he asked.
Xia Yunhui said without thinking: "There are four or five fixed cars, and there are two large trucks at my elder brother's side. Normal delivery will be no problem."
Xia Zekai noticed something and filled up the wine glasses of Sun Xu, his second brother and himself: "Brother Sun, don't say any more words, it's all in the wine."
This is because they took a detour and took a detour.
When Xia Yunhui heard what his cousin said, he understood, but he did not agree directly. Instead, he looked at his cousin hesitantly, for fear of causing trouble to his cousin.
Then he heard his cousin say: "Brother, it's okay. If you do business with Brother Sun, that's your business. Brother Sun and I have other things to do. That's our business. We each do our own thing."
"
"Okay, Brother Sun, let me toast you." Xia Yunhui felt confident and took the initiative to drink.
"Haha, I'm so polite." Sun Xu also finished his drink.
He took out a business card from his arms and handed it to Xia Yunhui. Xia Yunhui also handed him his business card. The two parties exchanged contact information. Sun Xu also asked him to take some time to go to Kelan Chemical to discuss in detail.
talk.
After finishing the wine, Xia Yunhui happily took Amy downstairs, and Luo Xiyun collected all the plates.
Xia Zekai and Sun Xu moved to the living room to eat fruit, drink tea, and talk about business.
Sun Xu didn't delay this time and stated the conditions directly.
After understanding that Sun Xu said that today's closing price would be discounted by another 15%, Xia Zekai did not relent just because the other party had just given his second brother the opportunity to cooperate. He stretched out two fingers: "Brother Sun, don't say that I am cruel.
It’s a bargain hunt, discount this amount, no matter how much it falls in the future, I’ll accept it.”
Sun Xu could face it calmly at this time. He had also considered this. When he heard Xia Zekai say this number, he said: "Brother, let's stop pretending. I can promise you, but 100 million is not enough."
"Brother, tell me the number." Xia Zekai asked him.
This moment made Sun Xu stunned.
In fact, in Sun Xu's opinion, Xia Zekai's price was just over a dollar less than Xu Fang's 15% discount, which was within his acceptable range. The biggest problem was getting more cash flow.
Sun Xu tapped his fingers on the table and thought for a while before saying: "150 million, how about that?"
"Brother, if I'm not afraid of my big appetite, 200 million will do!"
"(one_one)" Sun Xu's eyes widened, and he realized that he had always underestimated Xia Zekai, or that other people in the outside world had also underestimated this guy. He was an out-and-out hidden person.
Crocodile.
That was 200 million in cash, not 200 million in turnover, but Xia Zekai said it in an understatement.
How much money does he have?
The matter was finally settled. Xia Zekai invested 200 million yuan at today's closing price of 25.65 yuan, discounted by 20%, at 20.77 yuan, and received a total of 9.6293 million shares of Kelan shares.
