Reborn Scholar

Chapter 93

During the Chinese New Year this year, my aunt and my uncle brought Xu Ning here, but none of my cousins ​​were there.

According to my aunt, Xu Qing has become more and more outstanding in Shanghai, and now she can get 5000 yuan a month's salary.The eldest aunt proudly showed off to her mother Lu Caixia.

Last year, Lu Caixia finally lent 2 yuan to her aunt's family, and another [-] yuan for her aunt's family.

This is her strategy, relatives should help or help, they are all ordinary people, unfeeling and ruthless are not suitable, and seeing Xu Ning's appearance, Lu Caixia really can't bear it.The eldest sister-in-law and Meng Qingshan are siblings after all.But helping can't be unlimited helping. If you don't help well, you will help out revenge.

Just like borrowing money, even if she doesn't use her daughter's money, she can still get 20 in her hand.My sister-in-law wants [-] yuan, but if she lends her the money with a few soft words, not only will she not appreciate it, but she will develop pink eyes, thinking that you are too rich, so she should lend it to her.

But Lu Caixia said that the family could only take out 4 yuan, and then she gritted her teeth and borrowed [-] yuan. The aunt would think that the Meng family didn't have that much money and was still in debt. Ten thousand yuan is equivalent to a loan from my aunt, and the interest has to be paid by my aunt herself.

My aunt herself agrees, paying back [-] a year with interest.

This year when my aunt came, she took 1, the principal of [-], and the interest of [-].

Lu Caixia didn't want to make money from her sister-in-law, and she didn't need to.The money was said to be borrowed from others, but in fact it was borrowed from my uncle's family through my grandma.

Of course, the interest earned is given to grandma, not my uncle's.Just return the principal to my uncle's family.

Only by doing this, grandma won't yell around after taking the money, and save herself the trouble of looking for her own family.

When people are old, they probably have no sense of security. They always want money and want money. Lu Caixia and Meng Qingshan give grandma a big red envelope during the Spring Festival every year. On weekdays, they keep giving them 300 or [-] a month. Grandma She always saves it all up, and no one can see her money except herself smoking and drinking.

But as long as she doesn't mess around, everyone will live in peace, mom and aunt won't care about it, and my uncle won't say much.

"Then Xiaoqing sent you a lot of money this year, right?" Auntie showed off for a while, and mother asked with a smile.

The aunt's face darkened, but she still forced a smile and said, "It's not easy for this girl over there. She said that the money is all in the salary passbook, and she will give it to me when she comes back."

"What about Xiaofan and Xiaoyuan?" Mom asked again.

Aunt then laughed again, "Xiaofan sent me 1 this year, and Xiaoyuan sent [-]. They are both sensible, and it's not in vain for me to raise them. Hey, Shishi also graduated, have you found a job yet?" ? Shishi has a high degree of education, and he will definitely be much better than Xiaofan and the others in the future, and maybe he will earn you [-] yuan every year."

Lu Caixia smiled, "Yes."

In the same way, the eldest aunt showed off again in front of the second and third aunts.

Meng Shi was a little helpless, Miss Xiaofan's character is really... a bad person.

She had the opportunity to study again, worked very hard, almost forgot to sleep and eat, and had to look for a job during the day. Meng Shi saw that it was really difficult for her to find a job. Later, when she went to apply for a job in Century Mall, she said hello there, Let her in.Of course, Meng Shi didn't tell Xu Fan about this.

But I have to admit that Xu Fan works very seriously and hard, and it is not a job that requires professional knowledge. As long as he has enough attitude and hard work, he will definitely be able to do well.The salary has also risen again and again. Now the salary plus bonus can reach more than 3000 a month.

You must know that at this time, a salary of more than 3000 a month is really a lot.She even repaid the 5000 yuan that Meng Shi lent her before.

What Xu Fan does is her business, and Meng Shi can't control it. Anyway, the eldest aunt is her biological mother. Xu Fan is kind-hearted, so it has nothing to do with her. Nothing.

My aunt also came here with Meng Lan in her arms. Today I was having dinner at Meng Shi's house, and my aunt came to help with the cooking.

Meng Lan is my uncle's second child, only seven or eight months old, and there is a boy in front of him.

"Lanlan, sister hug." Meng Shi liked Meng Lan very much, and he would not let go of her when she hugged her.

In fact, she likes boys better, not because she prefers boys over girls, but because she thinks girls are too fragile. She always feels that raising girls is more troublesome than raising boys, but if it is someone else's child, she prefers girls Damn... Cough, it's an extremely weird thought, and she doesn't plan to figure it out anyway.

Xiao Lanlan is soft when hugged, her big eyes are beautiful, there are many black eyes, she looks extraordinarily energetic, and this little girl loves to smile so much that anyone can hug her.

Feng Yun, the cousin of the second aunt's family, also came over to tease Xiao Lanlan.

"From time to time, make some milk powder for Lan Lan, she is probably going to sleep soon." The aunt said while mixing a pot of dumpling stuffing.

"it is good."

Meng Shi agreed.She is already very skilled at this job.

Well, she likes children, so it's not bad to experiment with how to take care of children first.

"Hold it, I'll go wash it, where is the milk powder?" Feng Yun said.

"It should be in my aunt's big bag. The diapers and baby bottles are all in there." Meng Shi smiled and pointed to the big bag on the sofa.

Feng Yun walked over and found a bag from my aunt's bag, which contained milk powder and a feeding bottle.

But when he saw the milk powder, Feng Yun's expression changed.

She quickly took the milk powder and asked her aunt, "Little aunt, where did you buy this milk powder?"

The aunt glanced, "Oh, I bought it from the street yesterday, what's wrong? The milk powder I bought from the supermarket in the city happened to be finished, so I just bought a pack on the street. The packaging is so good, and the price is reasonable. Pretty cheap."

"This milk powder cannot be eaten." Feng Yun said.

"What's the matter?" Auntie looked puzzled, "They also said that this is the best-selling milk powder."

"In the future, you must go to a regular place to buy milk powder. Isn't there a supermarket in the city? There are no fakes there, so you can rest assured when buying there. For children, be careful. This milk powder is not very good. "Feng Yun said seriously.

"It's not poisonous, is it?"

"No, I was an intern in a hospital in the provincial capital a few years ago, and I encountered several cases. After asking for a long time, those children were eating this milk powder. You see, the packaging looks good, but the address is obviously vague, so just write Who knows where it is in Province H? There is no national food batch number, etc., so it is fake at first glance." Feng Yun said.

"Why is the milk powder fake? This milk powder doesn't feel like eating, and Lanlan tastes delicious too."

"Little aunt, you can't look at this when looking at milk powder. It may be artificially prepared, and it is not nutritious. If adults drink it, as long as it is not poisonous, we will not be afraid. We can still eat to replenish the nutrition. But if children drink it If there is no nutrition, how will she grow and develop?"

"Oh, you mean this milk powder is like water?" Feng Yun became nervous when she said that, whether the aunt was an ignorant village woman.

"Well, we have tested that the protein content in this milk powder is extremely low, or even none."

After saying this, the little aunt understood completely, her face immediately turned pale, and she quickly patted her chest, "It's okay, it's okay, I bought it yesterday and only drank it once. I'll ask your uncle to go to the county to drink again." Buy milk powder for Lan Lan, feed her some food now, and I'll get her some egg soup."

Auntie looked disapproving, "Now baby Jingui, we didn't have anything to eat at that time, so we raised a mouthful of batter anyway. What Xiushan ate most when he was a child was sweet potato mush."

Feng Yun didn't say much, and my aunt couldn't understand the protein nutrition.

Instead, Meng Shi came over with Lanlan in his arms, "Sister Xiaoyun, since the milk powder has been tested, didn't you report it?"

Feng Yundao, "I followed the director to see these cases. Those children had big heads, and the diagnosis was severe malnutrition. Some of them were rescued, but there were still a few who could not be rescued. I was on duty in the Department of Pediatrics. During that time, about five or six such babies were admitted, and the director said to respond to the higher authorities, but I went to the cardiology department on a shift, so I don’t know.”

Meng Shi was helpless, this situation was really inevitable.Feng Yun is just a small intern with no rights.And the attending doctor said that he would report it, even if he did report it, the higher authorities might not be able to pay attention to it.

This kind of milk powder that looks irregular is definitely not available in Huijia, but it should be very common in rural areas, and there must be traces of these milk powders in the urban-rural fringe areas of big cities.

Meng Shi had a headache.The problem of these low-quality milk powder needs to be solved, but she cannot be the one who comes forward.

At the same time, she was thinking about another milk powder issue of SL Group.

At the beginning, the SL milk powder incident caused a sensation all over the country, but all she knew was the word melamine, and she really didn't know much about it.

The inspection of dairy products in Huijia Supermarket is very strict, which she has set before.Every batch of milk powder of each brand has to be sampled and sent for inspection. At present, Meng Shi has not heard of any unqualified SL milk powder.She also saw SL milk powder in Huijia Supermarket, and even read the quality inspection report, which showed that there was no melamine.

Meng Shi didn't ask any more questions. If he didn't test it out, then he didn't have it. It's impossible to say that he has to put a big hat on others. Besides, many of SL's milk powder series are very well-known. If there is no melamine, it is a good thing.

At this moment, she remembered, it seems that when SL was investigating, it seemed that the milk source was polluted?Wasn't it artificially added later in production?

If so, it makes sense.Perhaps the dairy farmers at the current milk source did not add melamine to the fresh milk, or the fresh milk added with melamine was made into other dairy products and was not sold in Huijia.

In fact, in recent years, the country's economic development has been too fast, and many industries have been expanding. People only pursue money interests, and everything is as long as they make money.

Meng Shi no longer dared to go out to eat in the street, and he didn't dare to eat the fried dough sticks and spicy soup that he liked most when he was a child.Because those oils may be waste oil, and washing powder may also be added to the fried dough sticks.

If you want to eat it, you can make it at home by yourself, which is more at ease.

Nowadays, many products have chosen to undergo quality inspection. Only those who have obtained the quality inspection report can be put on the shelves of the largest chain supermarkets and shopping malls in China.Of course, the domestic market is too big, and the supermarket chain already has several other brands, and the scale is not small.But those supermarkets are cooperating with Huijia in terms of supply.Therefore, if there is no quality inspection report, the goods cannot be put on the shelves of those supermarkets, and they can only go to those low-end supermarkets, and the profits will be very thin, and they will never try to be high-end.

Meng Shi really admired Zou Kai for the point of joining forces with other supermarkets.

In fact, a few years ago, when Huijia was just opening up, two major foreign chain retailers entered the domestic market together.

Because it is a foreign brand, it has captured the psychology of some people in China advocating foreign products and attracted many customers.Huijia can only rely on its original foundation and domestic price advantages to fight against foreign supermarkets.

Later, the retail market became bigger and bigger, and many domestic chain supermarkets sprung up like mushrooms, and these supermarkets were all Huijia's competitors.

Meng Shi just jokingly told Zou Kai at the time that the domestic market is so big that one family can't afford it, so it's better for everyone to unite to make the market bigger and at the same time jointly resist foreign supermarkets.

Of course, this was just Meng Shi's joke, but Zou Kai actually made it a reality.

The result of the alliance made everyone very satisfied. Everyone shared the source of goods, jointly maintained prices, and did not engage in vicious competition such as price wars.At the same time, join forces against foreign retail giants.This group is the well-known China Retail Alliance.

Meng Shi admired this very much.

It is also because of this alliance that merchants in the alliance can get the lowest price and the highest quality supply.And those who want to sell goods into this alliance must also go through quality inspection.

It can be said that it is not easy to see fake products in these big supermarkets, and everyone is very relieved.

As Feng Yun said, the milk powder that leads to big-headed dolls should not be seen in the alliance's supermarkets, but SL's is not necessarily the case.

Just now, Meng Shi suddenly thought of an effective way to do things in China.

If many batches of milk powder from SL are tested to be normal, then some people may be lazy.

How should I say this? It's a question of credibility.Didn't the country give SL a way back then? Does the domestic well-known trademark still have any certificate of exemption from inspection?These are all possible factors.

Moreover, SL has a wide variety of dairy products, many origins, and even more product batches. It would be quite a fortune to inspect each batch.So, would anyone want to save these costs, thereby omitting the inspection of certain batches?
Does anyone think, anyway, this series of dairy products has been fine for such a long time, so there is no need to test it?

Because of Zou Kai's relationship, she hadn't asked about the supermarket and mall for a long time, but this time she had to find Zou Kai again.

For the New Year's Eve, Meng Shi actually didn't want to call Zou Kai, but he had to say it.

Zou Kai is quite normal, his attitude is the same as usual.

After the two chatted, they hung up the phone. Meng Shi heaved a sigh of relief. It was because he was too stingy, and Zou Kai had probably let it go long ago.

Just after the new year, the news from CCTV and the special report from Pearl TV set the whole country on fire.

The reporter made unannounced investigations in many places and found dozens of cases of big-headed dolls, more than half of which died.And the milk powder that led to big-headed dolls is actually sold in most parts of the country.

In addition, certain batches of milk powder from SL have also been exposed, containing excessive amounts of melamine, which has caused thousands of cases of kidney stones in infants and young children...

Big-headed baby milk powder is basically not available in large regular supermarkets, but it is very common in small supermarkets outside.

However, the problematic milk powder of SL has geographical restrictions. Some areas are fine, and some areas have serious problems.

But the only good thing is that none of the Huijia supermarkets were affected. There are a few supermarkets in the alliance that involved the problematic milk powder, and the supermarkets also took the initiative to investigate the matter clearly, and the relevant personnel have filed a record.

The most serious problem is that of foreign chain giants, SL milk powder is particularly serious.

When it comes to infants and young children, people are very angry.

Coupled with the help of the media, the matter was quickly investigated and dealt with comprehensively.

During the investigation, other brands of milk powder were also found to contain a certain amount of melamine, and countless milk products were taken off the shelves one after another.

For Meng Shi, if the SL problem breaks out now, at least 8 years later, more than 20 people will not suffer.

Of course, after this incident, future inspections will inevitably be more stringent.

And this time, it is destined to be the biggest food safety incident in China since the opening of the country, and it still involves infants and young children who are the most important.

I hope that after this incident, domestic dairy products can meet the standards, so that mothers of future generations are not keen to buy expensive foreign milk powder from Hong Kong or abroad, and give people all over the world the impression that China is short of milk. Even some countries have imposed restrictions on the purchase of milk powder for Huaxia and so on.

Domestic food safety inspections are underway, and turbulence has also occurred abroad.

In March, the Nasdaq index rose to an all-time high, and then began to fall back slightly.

At this time, people still thought that the stock market was automatically adjusting. Sure enough, after falling back, it rose again, but what followed was a sharp dive in the stock price!
When the new trading day came, it suddenly fell by several percentage points!
And this seemed to open the devil's box, and then the stock price continued to plummet.

Countless Internet companies that were still in full swing a while ago, their assets have shrunk significantly in just a few days.

In fact, they didn't have much assets in the first place. It was the stock market that overestimated their value and inflated too much. Now the bubble bursts, and everything will be returned to its original shape.

At this moment, the executives of Shengshi realized how wise it was for Meng Shi to sell the billions worth of Yahoo stock that was originally nestled in his hands.

Although the stock hadn't reached its all-time high when it was sold last year, compared to the losses from the stock market's plunge today, trading at that time was simply brilliant.

In this Internet storm, some people fall and some rise.

Cutting-edge technology is one of them.

The company's main business is e-commerce, and it has registered a website called "Buy Fashion".

Of course, it still looks rough now.

In fact, there is already another well-known online trading company in China, but that company is not currently focusing on ordinary small and scattered transactions.

The reason Meng Shi was able to see this company was because of the investment plan submitted by Tang Jintian.

Apart from being interested in the company itself, Meng Shi's eyes fell on the company's founder, Qi Chuan.

Meng Shi couldn't help helping his forehead, do he really want to invest?

What does Qi Chuan mean? He already knew about her relationship with Shengshi, so why did he come to Shengshi for financing?
Of course, this question may not be that important. What is important is what Meng Shi should do.

Is this yes or no?

For a while, Meng Shi couldn't make a decision.

Originally, she was still thinking about whether to meet Qi Chuan and ask about the situation.

Unexpectedly, opportunities always come unexpectedly.

Shopping in the supermarket again, Meng Shi ran into Qi Chuan, and there was a girl beside him, who was the Yuanyuan whom he met in County D during the Spring Festival.

"Meng Shi." Qi Chuan's voice was much deeper and more mature.

At first glance, Meng Shi didn't even recognize it.

How should I put it, Qi Chuan used to be a sunny and cheerful young man, but now Qi Chuan has a restrained temperament, is dressed in a suit, and looks very elite.

Meng Shi smiled slightly, "Long time no see."

There was also a smile on Qi Chuan's face, but his eyes were deep, "Long time no see. Do you have time to chat?"

Meng Shi pursed his lips.

"Don't get me wrong. Have you seen my financing plan?" Qi Chuan said.

Meng Shi nodded.

"Can't accept it?" Qi Chuan said again.

Meng Shi shook his head, "I haven't figured it out yet. The current domestic e-commerce platform has just started, and the timing is not very good."

"How about this, can you make an appointment and let me explain to you in detail?" Qi Chuan said, "Take it as an old classmate of mine, and at least give me a chance to convince you."

It's all said and done, how could Meng Shi disagree, "Then this Thursday, you can make an appointment with my assistant for a specific time. Should you tell me his contact information?"

"Yes." Qi Chuan smiled, and suddenly remembered, he pulled the girl beside him and introduced to Meng Shi, "This is my girlfriend Yuan Yuan. We met in country M. Yuan Yuan, this is me." My fellow countryman, and also my friend, Meng Shi."

Meng Shi nodded at Yuan Yuan, "Hello, Yuan Yuan, I'm glad to meet you. I'll treat you two to tea when I have time. That's it first. I still have something to do. Take your time and I'll take a step first."

"OK, bye."
