Xia Zekai learned about what happened in Qicheng through Li Mumu.
After hearing the news, Xia Zekai was not surprised at all. Wang Hongsheng had called him before.
He was even more surprised by Zhou Wenyi's methods.
Summarize it in four words, act vigorously and resolutely!
There was no sloppiness in the handling of this matter. Xia Zekai was wondering what the relationship was behind Zhou Wenyi.
While he was distracted, Lao Sichenchen started crying, and Xia Zekai hurried over to see him.
Ren Ping was busy changing his pull-up pants.
His wife was called out by her mother-in-law, and she didn't know what she was doing.
After Ren Ping finished changing the pull-up pants for the fourth child, she heated the breast milk expressed by his wife and fed the fourth child a few sips. The little guy settled down and fell into a deep sleep again.
After a while, Luo Xiyun came up in a hurry. She said, "Something happened in my hometown. My mother has to go back for a few days."
"What's wrong?" Xia Zekai asked, puzzled.
Luo Xiyun sighed and said, "A cousin-in-law of our Luo family is gone. My mother has to go back."
Xia Zekai had nothing else to say. He said, "Don't worry, I will arrange for Cui Xiaofeng to send our mother back."
"No need, my mother can just take the car back by herself." Luo Xiyun said.
Xia Zekai didn't agree. He said, "Let Xiao Cui be sent back."
In those days, it fell to Xia Zekai again to take Yatou and Tongtong to and from school.
Fortunately, there is a nanny at home, otherwise they would be so busy that they wouldn't be able to take care of her.
At the end of March, Xia Zekai received a call from Sun Xu from Qicheng Kelan Chemical Co., Ltd. Sun Xu asked him on the phone when he could go back.
"Brother, I'll wait for two more months. Yatou and Tongtong will leave after they finish kindergarten here." Xia Zekai said.
He and his wife had discussed this matter, and originally planned to leave in May, but Yatou and Tongtong graduated from the first class in June, and they both liked it. In this case, they simply postponed it to a month.
"Brother Xia, please come back quickly. Several people are waiting to drink your rice banquet. It's a good idea now. When you come back, just give it to your nephew and niece to celebrate the hundred days." Sun Xu said.
The three of them were born on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Xia Zekai calculated in a serious manner that the hundred days were exceeded, but he also knew that Sun Xu was just looking for an excuse to have dinner and drinks with him.
"Brother Sun, just prepare the gifts. I will definitely call you when I get back." Xia Zekai said confidently.
Sun Xu said "hmm" twice and said: "Gifts are not a problem. It seems that you can't catch up with the new factory to start production."
Hearing what he said, Xia Zekai was stunned for a moment, and then remembered something. Kelan Chemical also had a resolution at last year's shareholders' meeting to build a new factory.
Xia Zekai thought, not so fast?
"Brother, has the new factory been built?" Xia Zekai asked.
Sun Xu told him the matter. It turned out that Kelan Chemical took into account the current booming market and they were too slow to choose a location to build a new factory. Finally, with the approval of most shareholders, they decided to acquire a chemical factory, and then
The equipment in the chemical plant has been renovated and upgraded, which is twice as efficient as simply building a new factory. Because of this, after the equipment of the new factory was renovated, Sun Xu thought about setting the opening time as soon as possible.
, put into production as soon as possible and make money.
"What's the date?" Xia Zekai asked.
Sun Xu told him: "April 16th."
"Brother Xia, if you can come, come. If you really can't come, don't force yourself. Just go about your business first," Sun Xu said.
He said that, but in his heart he still hoped that Xia Zekai could appear at the opening ceremony.
At this moment, this little brother suddenly appeared on the Forbes list of the richest people in the world. This result shocked him. He never expected that this would happen.
But then I thought about how to make this honor come true!
Just imagine, people on the Forbes rich list of the world come to attend the opening ceremony of the company's new factory. What an array!
When the announcement is made, it may be able to boost the company's stock growth.
But now it seems that brother Xia may not be able to come.
Xia Zekai didn't agree at all. He said, "Brother, let me take a look at the situation. I have three more cubs all at once, and I really can't get away."
Hearing Xia Zekai talk about this matter, Sun Xu couldn't help but laugh. He said: "Brother Xia is still very good, shooting three times with one shot. Let me tell you, Lao Liu and the others all know about this matter and are still trying to find it."
You learn from it!"
"Hey, you're already in your fifties or sixties, and you're still thinking about having another baby!" Xia Zekai teased.
Sun Xu said: "This is not necessarily true. If there is still a baby, they might really want to give birth to another child. Otherwise, how can they spend so much money."
Xia Zekai didn't even want to comment on this matter. What a simple truth. If you have more money, you want to have a baby!
After making the call, Xia Zekai sat in the living room thinking about the opening ceremony of the new Kelan Chemical Plant. He would most likely not be able to go.
Luo Xiyun came down from upstairs. She thumped her waist with a tired look on her face: "Zekai, who wants to trouble you again?"
"Brother Sun from Kelan Chemical, do you still remember?" Xia Zekai asked her.
Luo Xiyun nodded: "Remember, why is he looking for you?"
"Kelan Chemical acquired a new factory last year. The equipment has just been renovated and it will be opened on the 16th of next month. He asked me if I could attend the opening ceremony," Xia Zekai said.
When Luo Xiyun heard what he said, it was business, so he said, "You can go over there when the time comes. I'll be watching over here, and there will be a nanny to help take care of you. It's okay."
Xia Zekai shook his head: "Let's talk about it then."
Luo Xiyun saw the determined expression on his face, so she stopped talking about it. She said, "It will take two days for my mother to come back."
"Not finished yet?" Xia Zekai asked.
Luo Xiyun nodded: "My cousin's affairs have been dealt with. My grandfather is not feeling well. He has to go to the county hospital for a checkup. My mother will have to take care of him at home for two days."
"Daughter-in-law, please tell our mother that grandpa's matters are important and we are not in a hurry." Xia Zekai said.
Whether it's relationships or things, they all come together.
…
Qicheng, in the municipal office building, in Wang Hongsheng's office.
He Yaoguang, the top leader of Zhoucheng District, came to report to Wang Hongsheng.
The unpredictability of the world was what He Yaoguang felt the most at this time. He never expected that Wang Hongsheng would rise to the top in one fell swoop by taking advantage of Liu Changhong's accident.
It was so difficult to get rid of the subtitle in front of him, but Wang Hongsheng still took this step. In addition, he is still young. As long as he can achieve some results, the road ahead will be smooth.
Thinking of this, He Yaoguang, the top leader in Zhoucheng District, quickly restrained his thoughts and reported on Zhoucheng District's establishment of a dried fruit demonstration base.
He still remembered that when Zhoucheng District was just selected as a demonstration base for dried fruit cultivation, Wang Hongsheng went to Zhoucheng District almost every day during that time and was always paying attention to this matter. Later, he also called every now and then to inquire about the situation.
He is not stupid, how could he not understand what it means.
Combined with last year's major policy development direction of Quanghui and this year's continuation of last year's development policy, the answer emerges.
"Comrade Yaoguang, we cannot be careless. At the critical moment, we must ensure that the interests of the people are not damaged." Wang Hongsheng said.
This was a typical statement with something in it. He Yaoguang didn't dare to be careless. He didn't understand what Wang Hongsheng wanted to express for a while, but he also knew that it was related to the interests of the people. The eight achievements were related to dried fruits.
After coming out of Wang Hongsheng's office, He Yaoguang did not go to Zhou Wenyi's office in the next building. He went directly back to Zhoucheng District to implement Wang Hongsheng's instructions as soon as possible.
After the office became quiet, Wang Hongsheng rubbed his temples tiredly and felt much better.
Only a few days after sitting on this chair, he felt that it was completely different now than before.
There was an endless stream of people coming to report to him, which really broke the threshold, but he couldn't refuse these people.
After a busy day's work, Wang Hongsheng declined the invitation to have dinner with him in the evening. When he returned home, his wife Jiang Ying had already returned and had prepared dinner.
Seeing him come in, Jiang Ying smiled and said, "Lao Wang, I resign."
When Wang Hongsheng heard his wife say this, he glared: "Why?"
"For no reason, I'm thinking about not working here anymore, and finding a job in the community to serve the people," Jiang Ying said.
Wang Hongsheng pouted directly, he knew better what kind of temper his wife had.
I really don’t have any desire for power, but I don’t have the free and easy temperament to serve the people.
"What happened?" Wang Hongsheng asked.
Jiang Ying said: "I am about to be promoted again, but I feel that the promotion is too fast, and I can't do that job..."
She was mainly afraid that after she got into that position, she would not be able to control herself and would make the same mistake as Liu Changhong and his daughter-in-law.
Wang Hongsheng understood as soon as he heard it. It must have been the education department who saw him straightening up and wanted to flatter him and give his wife a promotion, but who knew it had the opposite effect.
"Then there's no need to resign." Wang Hongsheng said, "If you don't want to, I'll tell them."
Jiang Ying shook her head: "Forget it, I've been hanging out there all these years, and I've really had enough of it. It's not interesting. I might as well go do some work in the community and feel better."
Seeing that her husband wanted to persuade her again, Jiang Ying raised her hand and extended her palm forward, saying: "This matter ends here, please stop talking about it."
"Just resign." Wang Hongsheng no longer dwelled on the matter.
But he was still very touched in his heart. After all, his wife was thinking about him and was afraid that he would be criticized.
This also allowed Wang Hongsheng to remain somewhat sober in his mind. He always reminded himself of what happened to Liu Changhong and must not do anything wrong.
"Where is Yun Bo? Why didn't I see him?" Wang Hongsheng asked.
Jiang Ying pointed to her son's bedroom and said, "He is doing homework in the room. He will come out when he is done. You can eat first."
"I'll go take a look." Wang Hongsheng said.
He went to his son's bedroom, but he didn't expect that the boy had locked the door inside. He twisted it several times but couldn't open it. He also asked: "Yunbo, what are you doing? Open the door for me."
"Dad, I'm doing my homework. Don't disturb me. I'll go to eat when I'm done." Through the door, I heard my son Wang Yunbo's voice.
Wang Hongsheng frowned slightly and glanced at the room with some confusion. He wanted to have a pair of clairvoyant eyes to see if his son was really doing his homework, but his son didn't give him any face and wouldn't open the door for him at all.
With nothing to do, Wang Hongsheng went to wash his face, sat on the sofa, and prepared to have dinner.
Little did he know that in his son Wang Yunbo's bedroom, a fat man with a double chin had been frightened. Unexpectedly, his father suddenly came back and knocked on his door. Fortunately, he was smart and locked the door in advance.
Otherwise, if dad suddenly attacked just now, he would be finished.
He had finished his homework, but he didn't want to eat. He just played games on his mobile phone.
Feeling glad for his wise decision, Wang Yunbo began to concentrate on playing the game again.
"Aying, why do I think Yun Bo is not doing homework in the room?" Wang Hongsheng saw his wife, frowned and expressed his thoughts.
Jiang Ying curled her lips: "It doesn't matter if you play games, you must finish your homework. If your grades are bad, you will lose one of his legs."
Wang Hongsheng looked at his wife who was showing her fierce look and thought, so you know it all!
Perhaps the son was naive enough to think that he was Sun Wukong and escaped from Tathagata Buddha's Wuzhi Mountain, but he didn't know that everything was under the control of Tathagata Buddha.
With his wife's words, he didn't think about anything else.
He mourned for his son for a while in his heart. He had been tired all day and hadn't eaten well. Now looking at the steaming meals cooked by his wife, his stomach was already growling with hunger.
…
A few days passed by in a flash, and as we entered April, the temperature rose back to around 20, with occasional single-digit temperatures for a day or two.
The temperature difference between morning and evening was a bit big. Xia Zekai and Luo Xiyun originally wanted to take the three of them out for some air and some sunshine, but the fluctuating temperature made them give up the idea.
Don't catch a cold again if you are not careful.
After her father-in-law completed the treatment, Liu Chunhua rushed back from her hometown of Yicheng. With the help of the old lady, Xia Zekai suddenly felt much more relaxed.
Liu Chunhua also talked about what happened on her trip home.
Almost everyone in her hometown knew that she was helping her daughter and son-in-law take care of their children. When they saw her returning to the village, she was also picked up and dropped off by car, and everyone in the village was extremely envious.
Many people also asked her whether she ate delicacies from the mountains and seas, including bird's nests and abalone every day at her son-in-law's house.
Someone also asked her how much her son-in-law’s family spent a day on a factory they owned and earned so much money. Did they have a thousand yuan?
Every time someone asked this question, Liu Chunhua would just laugh and pretend to be stupid and would not respond. Gradually, fewer people asked these questions again.
"Mom, is grandpa okay?" Xia Zekai asked with concern.
Liu Chunhua nodded: "What can happen? He is just old, so it's not a big problem."
"That's okay!" Xia Zekai nodded.
…
At the same time, Sun Guoqiang of Qicheng Jingtong Development Co., Ltd. sorted out the company's financial status in March and sent it to Xia Zekai.
I also sent a copy to Yan Jinghua.
Not long after he sent the call, the landline on his desk rang. When he saw it was Yan Jinghua's short number, he answered the call.
"Manager Sun, do you have time now? Come to my office." Yan Jinghua said.
Sun Guoqiang put down the phone and left.
He knew clearly in his heart that Yan Jinghua came to him because of financial problems.
After summarizing the financial situation in March, Sun Guoqiang was stunned for a long time. He knew that after the New Year, the company's revenue in March was declining day by day.
From online Taobao stores, JD.com, to offline Jingtong Baby direct-operated chain stores, to channel terminals, there has been a decline, but channel terminals are still the most stable among the three lines.
This is mainly caused by external environmental factors.
For example, economic growth has slowed down, international trade growth has dropped, the financial crisis has not ended, and the European debt crisis continues to intensify, which has also led to the ups and downs of domestic economic development.
The development of the financial economy has caused housing prices to rise too fast, but many small factories have found it difficult to pay wages. Comparing the pros and cons, ordinary people have much less money in their hands, and they are more cautious when consuming.
Because of this, the company's financial situation in March was worse than that in February. Even though the boss was on the Forbes rich list and exposed the company, most eyes were focused on 'Yixing' and
'Today's Toutiao' went up, but not many people paid attention to entity enterprises like Jingtong Development Co., Ltd.
Therefore, this wave of exposure by the boss has no substantial effect on boosting the company's revenue.
After arriving at Yan Jinghua's office, he saw Yan Jinghua's solemn expression as soon as he entered.
Yan Jinghua heard the commotion and looked up to see that Sun Guoqiang was here. He quickly said: "Manager Sun, please sit down first while I read this report."
After a few minutes, Yan Jinghua read the entire report, as well as the financial data of each factory under the name of Jingtong Development Co., Ltd. He asked: "Manager Sun, our data last month was very different."
Sun Guoqiang was not surprised at all. He explained it to Yan Jinghua based on the data.
Especially from the profit point of view, the profit ratio in March dropped too much.
Judging from the timeline, there are two more days in March than in February, and February was also affected by the resumption of express delivery after the Spring Festival. However, even with the combination of various factors, March could not outperform February.
"Have you given this data to your boss?" Yan Jinghua asked him.
Sun Guoqiang nodded: "Give it."
"Manager Sun, based on this calculation, the probability of us achieving our target performance in the first half of the year is very low!" Yan Jinghua said.
Sun Guoqiang agrees with Yan Jinghua's statement that the probability is not generally low.
"Mr. Yan, there is one more thing." Sun Guoqiang said.
"you say!"
"Starting from this month, our company's preferential policy from the government will become 50% tax, and the profits will be further reduced." Sun Guoqiang reminded him.
