Chapter 1373 Wenjuan is about to give birth

Wang Lin and Li Wenxiu were entwining each other, when Li Wenjuan's voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Brother-in-law! Sister!"

"What's the matter? Wenjuan?" Wang Lin agreed.

"Brother-in-law! My stomach hurts! It hurts so much!" Li Wenjuan pushed open the door and walked in without caring much.

Wang Lin and Li Wenxiu hurriedly separated and hurriedly put on their clothes.

Li Wenjuan held her belly and said, "Brother-in-law, am I going to give birth?"

Wang Lindao: "Wenjuan, don't worry, if you want to give birth, give birth as soon as it's ripe. I'll send you to the hospital right away."

Li Wenxiu said: "What kind of pain is it? Even if it is pain, it won't be born right away."

Li Wenjuan said: "Sister, it's not that you want to have a baby, of course you don't feel sorry for me anymore. I feel like the baby is about to fall."

Li Wenxiu said: "I'm from here, I don't know yet?"

Wang Lin said: "Okay, stop talking, I'll take her to the hospital!"

Li Wenxiu said: "I will go too."

Li Wenjuan said: "Brother-in-law can just send me off, sister, you can stay at home!"

Li Wenxiu said: "Hey, are you angry with me?"

Li Wenjuan said: "No, ouch, brother-in-law, hurry up! I can't hold on anymore."

Wang Lin put on his clothes, put on his leather shoes, and came to help Li Wenjuan go downstairs.

Xu Ying and others also woke up, and asked Wenjuan repeatedly if she was going to give birth?
Li Wenxiu said: "Sister Xu, Wang Lin and I will take Wenjuan to the hospital, and the family will entrust you."

Xu Ying said: "Don't worry! If you give birth, call me, I will make soup and send it to the hospital."

Li Wenxiu hummed, and told Chen Ling to go downstairs and drive.

Wang Lin helped Li Wenjuan down the stairs slowly, and helped her sit in the back of the car.

After a while, Li Wenxiu went downstairs with her delivery bag and clothes, afraid of crowding her sister, so she sat in the passenger seat.

Li Wenjuan went into labor for the first time, and she was in so much pain that she lay down in Wang Lin's arms, holding Wang Lin's hand tightly,
Wang Lin hugged her and comforted her non-stop.

Li Wenxiu fastened her seat belt, turned around and said, "Wenjuan, your due date is four days away, right?"

Li Wenjuan groaned in pain, unable to speak.

Li Wenxiu said: "Is it so painful? When I gave birth to Wenwen, I didn't see such pain."

Wang Lindao: "Aren't you in pain? It's just that you are more patient. Of course Wenjuan can't compare with you."

Li Wenxiu said: "She comes from the same family as me, I can bear it, why can't she bear it? She is more pampered than me? You spoiled her!"

Wang Lin was speechless.

Li Wenxiu said, "I'll tell my parents."

Li Wenjuan said: "No!"

Li Wenxiu said: "Why not? They must know about such a big matter."

Li Wenjuan said: "My mother babbled endlessly as soon as we met, saying that I didn't know how to love myself, that I was pregnant before marriage, that I was ignorant, and that I deserved to be cheated by men."

Li Wenxiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Mum, that person has a knife mouth and a bean curd heart, don't you know?"

Wang Lindao: "Wenxiu, call your mother and ask her to get ready. After we arrive at the hospital, send Chen Ling to pick her up."

Li Wenxiu hummed and called home.

After putting down the phone, Li Wenxiu said: "My mother said, we don't need to pick her up, she asked Hu Ling to drive her here."

Wang Lindao: "Hu Ling has to go to work tomorrow! Don't delay her work."

Li Wenjuan said: "Let my brother deliver it!"

Li Wenxiu said: "It doesn't matter who they send it to! At this time, you don't have to worry about whether they go to work or not. When Hu Ling gave birth, didn't you also go to the hospital to accompany her?"

When she came to the hospital, Li Wenjuan was sweating from pain.

Wang Lindao: "Wenxiu, she is in extraordinary pain!"

Li Wenxiu said: "Is there any pain in childbirth? She is hypocritical! After entering the delivery room, she still suffers from pain! Only when you raise a child will you know the kindness of your parents. This makes sense!"

Although it was night, the Women's and Children's Hospital was overcrowded. Recently, it was the flu season, and children had a lot of colds and fevers, and all ailments were sent to the Women's and Children's Hospital for treatment.

In the corridors and in the wards, there were people everywhere, and children were crying and howling, making it so loud that people couldn't hear clearly.

Night shift nurses and doctors on duty are few and far between.

Wang Lin and the others are in a hurry, but the nurses are not in a hurry. They need to register to see a doctor before they can arrange the delivery.

Li Wenjuan sat on a chair, sweating from the pain.

You have to queue up for registration, you have to queue up to see a doctor, and you have to queue up again to pay fees.

It doesn't matter how anxious Wang Lin is, everything has to follow the procedure.

Finally it was Li Wenjuan's turn.

The doctor examined it and said, "It's still early! At least until tomorrow."

Wang Lindao: "Doctor, she is in such pain!"

The doctor said: "It's useless to hurt, I haven't opened my fingers yet! I can give birth tomorrow afternoon. You are her lover, right? You don't know her due date?"

Wang Lin smiled awkwardly: "But she is really in pain."

The doctor said: "Having a baby! Are you kidding me? The first baby? Are you hospitalized now? Or come back tomorrow?"

Of course Wang Lin didn't want to make a fuss, and said, "We're going to be hospitalized now."

The doctor issued a hospital bill.

Wang Lin took it to pay the fee, and then took Li Wenjuan to the ward to stay.

The place has been properly settled, and Zhou Aiqun and the others are long overdue.

"I knew it wasn't so fast!" Hu Ling laughed, "The stomachache has just begun! At least it will last for several hours!"

Wang Lin didn't bother to argue with them, so he said to Li Wenxiu, "I'll stay here with Wenjuan! You have to take care of your son when you go back."

Li Wenxiu knew that she hadn't entered the delivery room so quickly, so she said, "You go home too! Let mom stay here overnight."

Wang Lindao: "No, Mom is getting old. You all go back, and come back when it's time to enter the delivery room. I'm a man and I can endure it."

Zhou Aiqun said: "Brother-in-law Wang Lin is so nice to Wenjuan that I have nothing to say! Wenjuan, open your eyes and see clearly! If you want to find a man in the future, you should find someone like your brother-in-law! Don't look for those who don't Reliable stuff!"

Li Wenjuan wanted to speak, but she was too painful to speak, and she was even more afraid that her mother would scold her if she spoke.

Zhou Aiqun said: "You all go back, I'll just stay with Wenjuan. I will ask for leave tomorrow and not go to work."

Li Wenjuan said: "Mom, I don't want to accompany me, I want my brother-in-law to accompany me."

Zhou Aiqun said in a low voice: "Are you stupid? You are in labor, your brother-in-law is a big man, how can he take care of you here? If the amniotic fluid breaks, I have to help you put paper!"

Li Wenjuan couldn't say that Wang Lin was the child's father, and it was really unreasonable to leave Wang Lin alone to take care of her, although she really wanted Wang Lin to stay by her side.

In the end, Zhou Aiqun and Li Wenxiu stayed to take care of Li Wenjuan, while Wang Lin and others returned home first.

When Wang Lin returned home, he couldn't sleep, and was always worried about Li Wenjuan.

Li Wenjuan has always been relatively weak, not as strong as her sister. She can't even cook, and sometimes she can cry for hours when she touches a knife or accidentally touches her finger.

For such a woman, giving birth to a child is tantamount to life and death.

One night, Wang Lin made three phone calls to inquire.

Li Wenxiu said with a smile: "It's still early! Go to sleep! With my mother and I here, nothing will happen to Wenjuan. You really made me jealous! When I gave birth to Wenwen, I never saw you so nervous. Woolen cloth?"

Wang Lin smiled awkwardly: "I'm not nervous about you yet? Okay, I'm going to sleep! I'll replace you tomorrow."

"No, Mom and I take turns sleeping, that's enough. You have to come, just come when you're giving birth. You can't work?"

Wang Lin responded indiscriminately, seeing that the time was already past three o'clock in the morning, and he fell asleep only then.

After waking up, Wang Lin took his breakfast and went straight to the hospital.

Li Wenjuan's pain was still very strong.

Fortunately, Wang Lin had already booked a single ward for her. The conditions here are good, there is a bed for companionship, and a sofa.

No matter how painful Li Wenjuan shouted inside, it would not affect others.

When Wang Lin arrived, Li Wenjuan fell asleep.

Li Wenxiu said: "She suffered from pain all night, her voice became hoarse, and she was exhausted and fell asleep."

Wang Lin was startled and said, "Didn't you faint?"

Li Wenxiu said: "That's not the case. Let her have a good night's sleep so that she will have the strength to give birth."

Wang Lin nodded: "Let me replace you! Go home and rest."

"No, my mother was on guard last night. I slept for a few hours, which is enough. Don't waste your time here, go to the company!"

Wang Lin looked at Li Wenjuan who was sleeping soundly, and then left.

After returning from the United States, Wang Lin stepped up efforts to develop overseas markets.

Last time Wang Lin rescued many celebrities in the New York Public Library. Among them was a businessman who was the head of Sears, one of the largest retailers in the United States.

Chinese people only know Wal-Mart, but few people know Sears.

Speaking of Sears, it is the big brother of the global retail industry.

It started with small advertisements and once grew into a sample enterprise in the global retail industry. It not only invented new formats such as department stores, chain stores, and shopping centers, but also the business models of Wal-Mart and Amazon were born out of this.

This is an ancient company that was born in 1869. The founder Richard Sears was originally a railway worker, but because he was unwilling to hold an iron job, he chose to go into business.From speculation at the very beginning to posting small advertisements everywhere in order to survive, and finally opened the door to the mail order business inadvertently, the company was on the right track.

What is a mail order business?To put it simply, it is to print the catalogs of different businesses on small advertisements, and then throw these small advertisements at the door of residents from door to door.

This method may seem very earthy now, and no one will care at all.However, in that era, this business model was very popular, especially after Sears' improvement.

First of all, Sears made small advertisements very beautifully, at least at the level of posters according to the current words; secondly, Sears screened merchants by itself, and identified good or bad for consumers; thirdly, negotiated cooperation with merchants, such as Discounts or rebates, etc.; and lastly, and most uniquely, Sears offers home delivery and even no-questions-asked returns.

In fact, this is the prototype of e-commerce.It's just that, in the era without the Internet, Sears' approach was to throw small advertisements from door to door.

Over time, Sears' first major business: the mail order business, was born.

The company later developed into a department store.

With the further expansion of the company's scale, the company unified the decoration, signboards and billboards of all department stores, so it gradually became the appearance of a chain department store.

On the other hand, due to the concentration of chain department stores in the central area, this has caused the surrounding areas of the city and the countryside to be unable to cover.Therefore, the company proposed the concept of chain stores.Break down large and comprehensive department stores into small stores, specializing in the sale of high-frequency but low-priced commodities.

Thus, a standardized chain of stores and department stores was born.

Before the 90s, Sears had always been the overlord of the American retail industry.

But all of this came into crisis with the emergence of Wal-Mart.

In Sears' view, Wal-Mart's low-price strategy of "lowering suppliers' purchase prices", "shortest supply chain", and "driving near the highway" have long been Sears' dirty tricks.

Therefore, although Wal-Mart's store opening speed is getting faster and faster, it has not been able to attract Sears' great attention.

In the 90s, Sears was surprised to find that the generation who grew up in the "baby boom" suddenly began to become stingy.Wal-Mart, with its "low price" and better shopping experience, has become the first choice of consumers.

Even Sears' most loyal fans and customers have begun to "rebel".

At this time, Sears realized that before Wal-Mart appeared, the reason why consumers frequently cared about Sears was apparently because of consumer loyalty.But in fact, it is because consumers have no better choice until a better company is born.

That is to say, it is not so much that Sears is defeated in the competition with Wal-Mart, but that the consumer experience it brings to customers is getting worse, whether it is the price itself or related services.

Wang Lin saved the life of Sears' head family.

Afterwards, Sears approached Wang Lin to thank him for his help, and the two naturally chatted about the business they were both familiar with.

Knowing that Wang Lin is the largest supplier of textiles and daily necessities in the East, Sears was very interested and proposed to cooperate with Wang Lin.

Sears wanted to get cheap and high-quality products, and Wang Lin also wanted to take the opportunity to explore the American market, so the two hit it off.

Therefore, after Wang Lin returned to China, he has been committed to promoting the completion of this cooperation.

However, the two sides encountered differences in specific cooperation negotiations.

Sears demanded lower supply prices.

But Wang Lin needs a shorter settlement cycle.

The two sides conducted the first round of telephone negotiations, and the results were not satisfactory.

Today, Wang Lin will start the second round of negotiations with Sears.

It is far away across the ocean, and Sears has no branch or office in my country, and the two sides only communicate by phone for the time being.

When Wang Lin was preparing for a telephone negotiation, Deng Dabao came to the office.

"President Wang!" Deng Dabao laughed, "Another retailer from the United States has come to discuss cooperation with us."

Wang Lin asked, "Which one?"

"Walmart."

"Oh? Walmart? They called?"

"Not only did they make a phone call, but they also sent people to our company to investigate, and then discuss cooperation matters in detail." Deng Dabao laughed, "Compared to Sears' arrogance, Wal-Mart is much more sincere. Or we Welcome to take a look?"

Wang Lin cheered up: "Of course it's fine! Mr. Deng, I'll leave it to you to take full responsibility for this matter."

"Don't worry, Mr. Wang has to make up his own mind on such a big matter." Deng Dabao said with a smile, "I haven't even been to the United States! I don't know how to deal with the Americans."

Wang Lindao: "When the negotiation has a clue, you can lead the team to the United States. Brother Dabao, I don't want to catch your young man. I really don't have time. Wenjuan is going to give birth soon, and she is in the hospital now I have to go to the hospital after I have dealt with these things in my hand."
