The Pentium Era - South to North

On December 31, 2001, the last day of the year, Qu Tianlin called them one by one and asked them to go to the big box in Tianxiang Building for dinner in the evening. Qu Tianlin told Zhang Chen on the phone that they were not allowed to miss it. No matter what you have to do today, push it to me, otherwise I will be angry.

Zhang Chen smiled and said: "Sister Tianlin, I have nothing to do, I will definitely arrive."

Qu Tianlin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's good if we can get there."

Putting down the phone, Zhang Chen looked at Xiao Zhao in confusion and asked, what happened to Sister Tianlin today? Wasn't it just an invitation to dinner, and she was so cautious?

Xiao Zhao shook her head and said, I don’t know either.

Zhang Chen's phone rang and it was Liu Ligan. He picked up the phone and Liu Ligan asked, "Zhang Chen, what's wrong with Sister Tianlin?"

Zhang Chen knew that Liu Ligan had also received a call with the same content.

"It's nothing. It's probably the end of the year and I want to get together." Zhang Chen said.

"No, no, I had a meeting with Director Chu tonight, but she asked me to push it away. If I refused, she would get angry, so I had to push it."

Liu Ligan said, and Zhang Chen laughed. He said, Sister Tianlin told me the same thing. Fortunately, I have no plans today.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Chen and Xiao Zhao looked at each other and laughed. This thing was getting really weird. They didn't know what was going on with Sister Tian Lin, but it shouldn't be an invitation to dinner to talk. It was a bad thing, it was a bad thing. Even the mood for eating was gone. The two decided not to think about it anymore. They would know it when they arrived anyway.

They said they didn't want to, but they still couldn't suppress their curiosity. Zhang Chen and Xiao Zhao simply set off early and went to Liu Ligan's company. Liu Ligan, Tan Shuzhen, and Lao Tan were still guessing where Sister Tianlin would be in the evening. What's the matter? When Liu Ligan saw them coming in, he shouted:

"Come on, come and join Qu Tianlin's secret guessing game."

Zhang Chen said that he was too lazy to guess. He would know it when he got there. He had guessed that he had already arrived at Tianxiang Tower. Let's go.

"Okay, let's go." Liu Ligan called.

Everyone walked out together. Zhang Chen walked in front. When he walked to the door, he saw that Yao Fen had just walked to the door of her own office. When she saw them, she quickly stepped back. Zhang Chen knew in his heart that he was embarrassed to meet them. Walking over and passing Yao Fen's office, Zhang Chen deliberately did not look into her office.

Walking outside, Zhang Chen pulled Tan Shuzhen. The two of them walked to the end, and Zhang Chen asked in a low voice: "How is Yao Fen now?"

"The little girl is very smart, and she never makes mistakes when asked to do things." Tan Shuzhen said, "It's just that her personality is a bit unhappy."

Zhang Chen sighed: "She still hasn't come out. She wasn't like this before."

Tan Shuzhen nodded and said, give it some more time.

They arrived at Tianxiang Tower and walked into the box. They found that not only Qu Tianlin and Xiao An had arrived, but Qu Tianjian was also sitting here. The three of them stood up when they saw them coming in. Liu Ligan said:

"How about it, Sister Tianlin, am I not late?"

Qu Tianlin smiled and said, no, no.

Liu Ligan asked Qu Tianlin, what is important today? Qu Tianlin smiled and said she would wait until everyone arrived.

After a while, Han Emperor Liu Bang and Wang Minsheng, Lao Tang and Lin Shuwan, and finally Wei Wenfang and Wu Zhaohui all arrived. Qu Tianlin said that it was a pity that Hongmei, Erhuo, and Lao Wan were not there.

Everyone arrived, everyone sat down and looked at Qu Tianlin in unison.

Qu Tianlin was surprised and asked, why are you all looking at me?

"Waiting for you to solve the mystery, Sister Tianlin." Liu Ligan said, "We have been tortured for several hours."

Qu Tianlin laughed, clapped her hands, and said to everyone, "Okay, just wait until I say it. I will say that today is the last day of 2001. I have called everyone together to thank you for your support over the past few years." Without your help, we really wouldn't be where we are today.

Thinking about that night, when I found out about it, I really felt like the sky was falling and I could no longer go on. I was completely desperate.

Zhang Chen and Xiao Zhao stayed with me that night. Later, Brother Liu helped me order a printing press. Zhang Chen, Xiao Zhao and Zangzi lent us so much money. Zhenzhen and Xiao Zhao accompanied me to Shenzhen. , without you, how would I have the courage to face it.

For our printing factory, Brother Tan and Lao Wan worked day and night. After the machine arrived, everyone helped us so that our printing factory could start up in such a short time and the machine started running. This has led to today...

When Qu Tianlin said this, she choked up and could hardly speak. Zhang Chen said:

"Sister Tianlin, why are you talking about this? We are all a family. If someone has something to do, we don't need to help together. We should all do what we should do. Don't say such unreasonable words."

Xiao Zhao hugged Qu Tianlin and said, Sister, when we were in the most difficult times, it was you who helped us.

"Yes, Sister Tianlin, you helped me sell my 'Splendid Jiangnan'. I know in my heart that the customer appreciation party you organized, saying you wanted to thank the customers, was actually organized for me. At that meeting, I sold the first batch of office buildings in 'Splendid Jiangnan'," said Liu Ligan.

"Okay, Xiao Zhao, pole, sister, this is not sad, but happy." Qu Tianlin said, "We have made very good profits in the past two years. What I am particularly happy about today is that all the payment for goods was paid back before the year. What will happen next? There will be more business. We invite everyone today, firstly, to thank you, and also, Zhang Chen, Xiao Zhao and Zhang Zi, we are now capable, so I think..."

Qu Tianlin took the bag from Xiao An's hand, opened it, took out two checks, put one in front of Liu Ligan, and the other in front of Zhang Chen, and told them, this is the money owed to you. , please be sure to accept it.

Zhang Chen and Liu Li were shocked. Zhang Chen shouted, "Sister Tianlin, what do you mean?"

Liu Ligan also said: "Sister Tianlin, I have never lent you money."

Xiao Zhao shook his head and said to Qu Tianlin: "No, sister, no, we are not short of money."

Qu Tianlin took Xiao Zhao's hand and said: "Sister, I know you are not short of money. I am very happy to see that everyone is doing well. No one here is short of money. But please let me finish. Over the years, we have worked hard to Work is just for today, not to pay back money, but to prove our ability.

"You don't know, from the first day I got the money, I told myself, Qu Tianlin, this money is not money, it is sincerity. You must pay it back. I am very happy that I can do it today. .”

"But, sister..."

"Xiao Zhao, Zhang Chen, Zhuang Zi, I have two more happy things. Do you want to know?" Qu Tianlin asked.

All three people nodded, and Qu Tianlin said, "If you want to know, just accept the check."

The three of them were still hesitating, and Lao Tan spoke up. He said, "Zhang Chen, pole, you'd better just accept the check. If you don't accept it, Tianlin probably won't be able to sleep well at night."

Qu Tianlin nodded and said, "Yes, Brother Tan is right. My sister is so happy today. You won't let me down, right?"

Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, said: "Take it, two little brothers, take it. The next time you need it, Tianlin will speak again. If you don't take it, you will beat her to death and you won't speak again."

Qu Tianlin smiled and said: "Yes, listen to the emperor."

Xiao An picked up the checks on the table and gave one to Xiao Zhao and one to Tan Shuzhen. Xiao An said, if you don't want any more, they will all belong to me.

Everyone laughed, Zhang Chen and Qu Tianlin said: "Sister Tianlin, now tell me your good things."

"Well, one of the good things is that we ordered another Heidelberg Speedmaster CD74, which is specially used for offset printing on corrugated paper, because we are old customers of Heidelberg. When this machine came out last year, They invited us to visit Drupa's exhibition, and Qu Tianjian made a reservation at that time. Now the machine has been put on the ship and is going across the ocean to Hangzhou."

Qu Tianlin said, everyone applauded, Zhang Chen asked, this means that with this machine, you can directly color offset printing on corrugated paper instead of printing and then gluing it on?

"Yes!" Qu Tianlin said, "This way the quality of the packaging boxes will be improved a lot. Several well-known wineries will definitely come to see us for a test run. If the test run is successful, they will place orders for their wine boxes. us."

"Great!" Zhang Chen said.

"Second thing, Sister Tianlin, tell me the second good thing." Wei Wenfang shouted.

"The second thing is that we may not be your neighbors soon. The Xiasha Development Zone Management Committee found us and said that our company is very suitable for their park. They hope that we can come there and they will give us preferential treatment on land and taxes. , I think it’s time to have our own new factory, pole, don’t be angry, I’m not saying your place is not good.” Qu Tianlin said.

"How could I be angry?" Liu Ligan said, "Sister Tianlin wants to have her own new factory. I welcome her with all my hands and feet!"

"Tianlin, then you will come and be neighbors with us and my little brother." Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, said.

"Yes." Qu Tianlin nodded, and she turned to Zhang Chen: "The design of the new factory will be left to you?"

Zhang Chen said yes, I will definitely design the most beautiful printing base in the country for Sister Tianlin.

Xiao Zhao thought about it and said, "Sister, you have to buy new machines and build a new factory. Don't you need money even more? You still..."

Qu Tianlin shook her head and said:

"I want to challenge myself. We have already paid for the machines. We are still short of money to build a new factory. However, I am thinking that our billing period can be flexibly arranged. New orders all have prepayments. Yes, but our paper and ink can not be settled until the end of the year, so I want to try how to make good use of this time difference.

"When we are really at the end of our rope and can no longer support it, can I ask you to borrow money again? If we don't borrow money next year, it means that we have survived, and the days after next will be very easy. In fact, this is what I am today The reason why I must return the money to you is because I want to challenge myself.”

Zhang Chen, Liu Ligan and Xiao Zhao all nodded.

"Tianlin, leave the construction of the new factory to me. I will definitely help you shorten the construction period." Lao Tan and Qu Tianlin said.

"Okay!" Qu Tianlin said with a smile, "I still say the same thing, with so many good friends like you here, I won't be afraid even if the sky falls."

"Come on, Tianjian, Xiaoan, let's toast everyone together!"

Qu Tianlin greeted Qu Tianjian and Xiao An, and when the two were about to stand up, Old Tang shouted: "Qu Tianjian can't do it, he wants to toast separately. I have seen his drinking capacity."

"That's right, Tianjian is here." Wu Zhaohui also shouted.

Qu Tianjian smiled and said, "Okay, I'll toast you later. Is it okay to have a drink first?"

Here, Old Tang and Wu Chaohui said, "Okay, I can have a drink with you first. You can't miss your own."
