A trip starting from the courtyard

Chapter 712 The Man With the Bottom Line
Wang Lidong took out the prepared small dried fish, and asked the younger sister to grab one and feed it to the orange cat, "Meow~" The orange cat first licked Xiaoxian's finger, then rolled the fish into its tongue, and ate it with relish stand up.

Xiaoxian laughed straight at being licked by the orange cat, and couldn't help reaching out and patting the orange cat's head.
"Xiao Shan, how big is this cat? Male and female?"

"5 months old, it's a male cat." Wang Lidong and his parents explained the precautions for the orange cat. The most important thing is to eat, try not to feed the cat food, usually eat some chicken, fish and shrimp, as well as chicken offal. "You can also feed a little Peiyuan soup, and you don't have to worry about snakes, insects, rats and ants at home in the future."

Within a few days after arriving in Australia, he encountered several snakes in his yard. Although they were all non-venomous, they were too common. With this cat, he didn't have to worry about these disgusting things.

Gatherings are always short, after Xiaoxian's birthday, it will be the day when Wang Lidong returns to China.

When we were parting at the airport, the little girl cried so much that she hugged his thigh and refused to let go. The three coaxed him for half an hour before the little girl finally let him go on the plane.

When passing through the ticket gate, Wang Lidong remembered an important event. He dragged the old couple to a remote corner and told him earnestly, "Mom and Dad, remember that before the Chinese New Year this year, we must go back to the world."

The old couple hurriedly asked the reason, Wang Lidong shook his head slightly and said, "It's hard to talk about this matter, anyway, life is at stake, you must remember, and don't tell others about this matter, otherwise it will be very troublesome."

Seeing their son's serious face, the old couple thought about his son's character and knew it was not a joke, so they promised to return to Sihai before the New Year.

Saying goodbye to his parents and Xiao Xianxian, Wang Lidong boarded the plane, and when he arrived in the business class, he accidentally spotted Chen Xiaoyun's manager, stepped forward to say hello, and looked at the passengers around him, "Chen Xiaoyun is not with you ?”

Sister Hong smiled and said, "She returned to China two days ago. Dr. Xu is returning to Pearl?"

Wang Lidong nodded, and after a few more polite greetings, he followed the stewardess to his seat, looked at the seat next to him, a middle-aged man in a suit
Putting on a blindfold, I slept all the way to Mingzhu. When I got off the plane, I found that Hong Jie had long since disappeared. This person didn't say hello when he left. When he passed the waiting hall, he saw a familiar figure. He walked up and said hello. , "Wang Manni."

Seeing that it was her friend's husband, Wang Manni smiled and said, "Old Xu, what a coincidence, you just came back from Australia?"

Old Xu?
It seems that Wang Manni and Gu Jia get along well, but in fact, their personalities are somewhat similar.

In terms of spending money, Gu Jia belongs to the moonlight family, and spends as much as the company earns, while Wang Manni earns 7000 yuan a month. In order to pursue quality of life, she spends [-] yuan to rent a big house.After working hard in Mingzhu for ten years, all the bank cards combined do not exceed [-].

Moreover, both of them are masters with higher hearts than the sky, pursuing a leap in class and self-realization, but Gu Jia is luckier, was born in Mingzhu, and then caught Xu Huanshan, the big wronged seed.

And Wang Manni was born in a small fourth- and fifth-tier city, and her first love was not strong. When she met the diamond king Laowu Liang Zhenxian, she thought she was the real son, but she didn't expect that she just wanted to support her.

"Yes. What about you, are you going out now, or have you just come back?"

"I just got back from Fiji."

"Oh, it's next to Australia, maybe we're still on the same flight."

The two checked the flight number and found that they were indeed on the same plane, but Wang Lidong was in business class and Wang Manni was in business class.

Wang Lidong politely asked if he wanted to ride back together. At this moment, a man with a mustache came to the two of them pushing a trolley case, "Manny!"

Wang Manni looked at her boyfriend and said, "Have you bought anything?"

Liang Zhenxian nodded with a smile, looked at Wang Lidong and said, "Manny, why don't you introduce me?"

"Xu Huanshan, the husband of my good friend Gu Jia."

Hearing that it was Wang Manni's good friend's husband, Liang Zhenxian's smile became brighter again, and he stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, my name is Liang Zhenxian, nice to meet you."

Wang Lidong reached out to shake hands with Liang Zhenxian, the king of the sea, and after exchanging pleasantries, he rejected Liang Zhenxian's invitation to take his car back to the city. He was not interested in making light bulbs.

Moreover, Liang Zhenxian is as virtuous as the people from Hong Kong. Although he hides it well, he will show a sense of superiority from time to time.

Make him a little unhappy.

When I got out of the terminal, I hailed a taxi and checked the time. It was just past three o'clock in the afternoon, and I told the driver to go to Jiamei Fireworks Company.

After the car started, Wang Lidong took out his mobile phone and made a video call with Xiaoxianxian, chatting along the way, live broadcasting the scenery of the Pearl from time to time.

When we arrived at the company, a yellow shadow strung up to his feet, and 'Little Ding Dong' yelled 'Awwhhh' at him, looking at the little guy's aggrieved face, if he could speak human words, he should be cursing He is a heartless man, he will be away for half a month
He picked up 'Little Ding Dong', hey, it weighed at least three catties, and his fur was shaved and shiny. It seems that these days are living happily.

Holding 'Little Ding Dong' into the office, Secretary Youyou found him, reported the general situation of the company these days, and finally added, "Mr. Gu will come to the company every other day."

Wang Lidong nodded, "I see. You call the managers of each department, and a meeting will start in the conference room in 10 minutes."

Ten minutes later, he walked into the company's conference room, greeted everyone, saw that everyone was present, and held a brief meeting.

Xu Shenghui, the financial manager, reported, "Mr. Xu, in the past ten days, a total of 3 accounts have been received. On the 17th, Dingsheng Trading Company received 48.6 yuan. On the 18th and 23rd, the sales department retailed fireworks and firecrackers totaling 2.7 yuan.

In terms of expenses, office expenses were 6.5 yuan, Jiajie borrowed 25 yuan the day before yesterday, and now there is 43.8 yuan in the company account. "

Wang Lidong nodded, and then looked at the sales manager. Zhao Zhisheng immediately reported the sales situation in the past ten days. There were no new orders for the big fireworks orders, but in the market of wedding banquets and birthday banquets, he received 2 orders within ten days. The order is 0.9 yuan and 1.8 yuan, and there are two orders that have been negotiated. It is estimated that the combined sales will be 3 yuan. "Mr. Xu, the market for wedding banquets and birthday banquets has great potential. If we fully develop , the sales volume should not be smaller than that of the fireworks market, but we need to increase manpower, the reimbursement for the salesman's car and phone bills is too small, and the logistics can't keep up."

After thinking for a moment, Wang Lidong said, "There are 8 districts and counties in Mingzhu where fireworks can be set off, and 2 more salesmen will be recruited, plus the current two. One person will contract two districts and counties. The telephone fee will be increased to 200 yuan per month. , The fare is reimbursed on the actual account and the logistics is temporarily overcome, and the special car will be allocated after the business volume increases."

The schedule manager handed over a document, "Mr. Xu, this is the design plan for the new office."

Wang Lidong took it and looked it over, frowning slightly, the area of ​​several offices is a bit big, especially his office, which is 40 square meters, and a fish tank was added at the entrance of the company, with the sign 'Feng Shui Array' on it, Don't ask, it must be Gu Jia's idea. She took a pen and revised the design drawing. All the offices were halved, and the Feng Shui formation and a few bells and whistles were all crossed out.
After the design, administration, and personnel departments reported their work, it was five o'clock. After Wang Lidong announced the end of the meeting, he got off work and returned home.

When the father-in-law saw his son-in-law coming home, he put down the newspaper in his hand and said, "I'm back. How are your parents?"

Wang Lidong hugged his son who rushed up, kissed him twice, and said hello to his father-in-law, "The situation is not very good, my mother is still in the hospital. Dad, where is Gu Jia?"

The old man said humanely, "Jiajia is busy with the dessert shop recently. You can call Jiajia."

Wang Lidong put down his son and dialed Gu Jia's number with his mobile phone. After two beeps, the call was connected, "Hello, Gu Jia."

There was a sound of a chainsaw, and Gu Jia came outside the house with the phone in hand, and said, "Hey, husband, have you gotten off the plane?"

"I have already got home."

"I'm at the dessert house, I'll be back in half an hour."

After he hung up the phone, he took out a few gifts from the suitcase, the father-in-law's sheepskin leather jacket, the puppet toy of a kangaroo for his son, a woolen blanket for sister Chen, and a set of "color-changing stones" for Gu Jia. 'jewelry.
After almost an hour, the dishes on the dinner table were a little cold, and Gu Jia finally returned home.

Seeing that the gift was color-changing stone jewelry, Gu Jia liked it very much. The family sat down and chatted while eating. Wang Lidong talked about his trip to Australia. Busy looking for a seller for the ranch and house.

After Gu Jia asked a few words about Xu's mother's situation, she became concerned about the situation of the ranch and the house, "How much can it sell for?"

Wang Lidong swallowed the rice in his mouth and said, "The house can be sold for 30 million, but the ranch is a bit troublesome. There are too many farms that have been hit by the disaster this time, and many farmers can't stand it anymore. They are everywhere. Ranch listed for sale. There are not many people looking at it, and the highest price is only 45 Australian dollars."

Gu Jia asked in surprise, "So low?"

Xu's father on the side asked, "How much did it cost to buy the ranch?"

"A$208 million."

"Not even 3% off?"

Wang Lidong said helplessly, "This flood has completely destroyed the pastures and facilities. If we want to raise cattle and sheep again, we need to replant pastures, repair irrigation and sprinkler systems, and buy a large number of farm tools. Millions."

Gu Jia asked, "What about the insurance? It's been almost two months, and the compensation from the insurance company hasn't arrived yet?"

Wang Lidong sighed, and said, "Still arguing, the insurance company said that the flood was mainly caused by the ocean, and it was not covered by the claim. The farmers are preparing to join forces to file a lawsuit with the insurance company."

He didn't want to talk too much about this aspect, so the topic turned to the dessert house. Gu Jia immediately talked about the dessert house with joy. In her vision, the dessert house will become the afternoon leisure time for rich ladies in the entire Grand Hyatt mansion. Venue, "Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Yu, and Mrs. Qian all agreed that my dessert house would be the first choice for future gatherings or small events. By the way, last week, Mrs. Yu and her husband won the management right of Changzhou Animation Valley Theme Park. My wife promised to help with the negotiation. If it goes well, our company can get another big deal. Next year, our company's turnover can reach 2000 million, and the annual profit can reach 400 million."

"My wife, thank you for your hard work. Our family has become better and better because of you." Wang Lidong raised his glass and said to his son, "Ziyan, let's toast to my mother and thank her for her dedication to this family." dedication and hard work.”

Ziyan picked up the juice and raised his glass happily, "Mom is the best. Mom is the best."

Gu Jia smiled and clinked glasses with the family. After a few words of modesty, she said to Wang Lidong, "Huanshan, there is something I want to discuss with you."

Wang Lidong picked up a piece of boiled chicken and dipped it in the seasoning, "Tell me, my wife."

"I want to enroll Ziyan in three interest classes."

"So much? What class?"

Gu Jia talked eloquently, "Golf, etiquette courses, and fencing classes. Now famous schools abroad have a higher recognition of golf and fencing. When Ziyan goes abroad to study and apply for prestigious schools, these items will give extra points. Mrs. Yu, Liu The wives and their sons have all signed up."

Wang Lidong thought to himself, the previous few sentences are all nonsense, and the most important thing is to deepen the relationship with Mrs. Yu. He glanced at his son, and his little face, which was smiling just now, has crumpled into a ball, "Ziyan's education is all You make up your mind, if you feel good, just apply. By the way, how much are the tuition fees for these three classes?"

Gu Jia patted his son's head and said, "It's about 40 a year."

Huh, the tone is really not small.

Before the money was in his pocket, he was ready to go, Wang Lidong waved his hand, expressing his full support for his wife's decision.
The old man’s eyes are wide open. He remembers that his little grandson just signed up for an equestrian class a while ago, and the annual tuition fee is more than 20 yuan. Adding one yuan is more than 60 yuan. If you include the kindergarten tuition fee, the annual cost is [-]. In case it was all his daughter's idea, as his own father, he could never dismantle his daughter's position, and his son-in-law didn't say anything, he glanced at his little grandson, and sighed in his heart.
Then Gu Jia chatted about some things that happened these days, Zhong Xiaoqin and Chen Yu divorced, and I heard that she got very close to a little brother recently
After a dinner, the whole family had a great time. The only one who was unhappy was the kid Xu Ziyan. Soon, he would have a few more lessons that he didn't like, but no one cared about his feelings. Children have no human rights.

At night, Wang Lidong and Gu Jia were very energetic. They hadn't exercised for more than ten days, and it was only after midnight that the room gradually became quiet.

In the next few days, Gu Jia was so busy that no one could be seen, Wang Lidong had to leave work early every day to pick up his son from the kindergarten, and took Xu Ziyan to participate in various after-school tutoring classes, equestrian classes, fencing classes, and English classes. The little guy was tormented enough, but Wang Lidong met a lot of people in the wife circle, and he chatted well with two of them. Mrs. Cheng, 32 years old, with an oval face, was born in a dance troupe. Her husband is a minority shareholder of a listed IT company. Wife, 33 years old, looks like sour and sweet, a third-tier starlet, her husband is in real estate
I don't know who told Gu Jia that he had some kind of relationship with the two of them. After ten days of pick-up and drop-off, Gu Jia took over the work of picking up and dropping off his son after school again.
Wang Lidong was very upset about Gu Jia's distrust of him, just chatting. Although he likes beautiful women, he never interferes with married women and acts as a third party. He is a moral, Bottom line man.

On this day, he received a call from Australia. The caller was Xiao Liu, a full-time customer service officer of Citibank, telling him that the patent application had been accepted, and the business license of Huanxian Trading Company had also been approved.

A week later, Wang Lidong got the legal opening certificate of Huanxian Trading Company (the opening certificate is a document similar to the business license that we often say in China, that is, the document that proves that it is registered with the government, and it is generally called a registration certificate abroad. When applying for notarization and certification of the investor’s business opening certificate, first the local notary public notarizes the document, then sends it to the foreign education department or its dispatched agency for certification, and finally goes to the Sihai National Aging Museum for certification), and finds a company An agency company specializing in the industrial and commercial registration of foreign-funded companies registered a new company in Mingzhu Investment in the name of Australia Huanxian Trade.

The business manager of the agency company checked the information, found nothing missing, and asked, "Mr. Xu, the name of the new company, registered capital, and business scope."

"It's called Mingzhu Xianxian Trading Company, with a registered capital of 100 million Australian dollars, scope, fireworks trading, and tea."

"I remember your company also provides office rental services, right?"

The business manager hurriedly nodded and smiled, "That's right, what size of office does Mr. Xu want to rent? In what location? What are the rent requirements?"

Wang Lidong said, "Help me find a chemical laboratory with an area of ​​about 1000 square meters. The address is Zhangjiang or Wujue Factory Biological Park. The rent is 3 to 5 yuan per square meter."

Jie Hong Fireworks Co.
"Okay, President District, I will have the accountant send you the money next Monday."

"Director District, we have been cooperating for five or six years. What I, Shen Jie, never counts."

"Yes, Monday morning. Alright, thank you, Mr. District, next time you come to Mingzhu, you must call me and let me do my best as a landlord."

Shen Jie put down the phone and rubbed his temples with his hands. Recently, the company's business has declined sharply, and several old customers' orders have been cut in half or simply canceled.These clients are all trading companies exporting to Europe. I heard that recently, many cities there are pushing for a permanent ban on fireworks.
I calculated it in my heart, and I lost more than 600 million orders in total, but the various expenses did not decrease, and I felt a dull pain in my head.
"I will love you even if you die." The phone rang, and he looked at the caller ID, "Xu Huanshan", and pressed the keypad, "Hello, old Xu, are you back from Australia?"

Wang Lidong played with a small glass bottle in his hand and said, "Shen Jie, what kind of memory do you have, it's been half a month since you came back, did you not receive the gift I sent you?"

Shen Jie slapped his head, "There are too many things going on recently, I forgot, sorry. Thank you for the leather jacket."

Wang Lidong said, "Do you have time today? Come to my company and show you something nice."

Shen Jie asked curiously, "What's good, you can talk about it on the phone, I really can't leave, I have a lot of things in my hands, and I have to go to Hunan Province tomorrow."

Wang Lidong smiled and said, "I can't tell you clearly on the phone, I promise you won't regret it after you come!"

Shen Jie thought for a while and said, "Why don't we have dinner together tonight, we haven't met since you came back."

Wang Lidong said, "What about Zhesu, I haven't eaten Huaiyang cuisine for a long time."

Shen Jie said, "Okay, then you reserve your seat, by the way, the time is later, after 07:30."

"no problem."

At eight o'clock in the evening, Shen Jie hurried to Zhesu General Hotel of IFC Center on Pudong Avenue, entered the box, and immediately apologized a few times when he saw Wang Lidong.

Wang Lidong looked at his friend, there were two dark circles on his face, and he looked too indulgent, and hurriedly mentioned Shen Jie, the boss is not young, and he can't mess around at night, "By the way, I know an old Chinese doctor. Don't ask for a prescription for you to make up for it?"

"Fuck you!" Shen Jie feigned anger, "Even in another 20 years, I won't need this kind of thing, you should enjoy it yourself." "There was an accident at the fireworks factory the day before yesterday. I haven't slept well in two days."

Wang Lidong picked up the teapot and poured a cup of hot tea for his friend, "What happened to the fireworks factory?"

Shen Jie picked up the teacup, drank a couple of sips, and said, "No accident happened in my factory, but the factory next door exploded, killing 4 people and injuring a dozen. I heard that not only the legal person was arrested, but several major shareholders were also arrested. The department please drink tea for half a day"

Wang Lidong greeted the waiter at the side, "It's time to serve the food." ' Then he said to Shen Jie, "It's not an accident in your factory, you are worried about the wool."

"Maybe one day, it will fall on my head."

Wang Lidong rolled his eyes, "You are worrying unfoundedly. You are worrying all day, why not do something serious, such as changing the director of your fireworks factory. With his management level, something will happen sooner or later."

"I have this plan, but I don't have a good excuse, Lao Xu, you have a lot of ideas, help me think of one."

At this time, two waiters came into the private room with some cold dishes, black truffle foie gras wrapped lettuce, celery jellyfish head chicken fir anchovy lettuce lettuce Wang Lidong's stomach growled a few times, he picked up his chopsticks and said, " Pad your stomach first. It’s already 08:30, it’s not dinner but supper.”

After the two had a few bites, Wang Lidong said, "This matter is too simple. 90.00% of your wife's uncle has dirty hands and feet. Check his account and let him go when you get the evidence. By the way, your wife All your relatives are also cleared out, and then replaced with yours."

Shen Jie thought for a while, and thought it was a good idea, but the factory's finances were also relatives of his wife's side, so it seemed that he had to find a chance to change the factory's finances, so he picked up the juice cup and touched one with Wang Lidong, "I want Show me something nice?"

Wang Lidong took out a small transparent glass bottle from his pocket. Shen Jie took the small bottle and looked at it. There was no label on the bottle. It was white powder. After shaking it, he didn't see anything, "What?"

"Blue firework stabilizer. The name is 'xptz'," Wang Lidong briefly explained the effect of 'xptz', Shen Jie said with bright eyes after hearing this, "Old Xu, where did you get this good thing?"
