Sitting in the study room of the courtyard, looking at the collected information about the domestic textile industry, Yang Dongxu couldn't help but rub his forehead.
He had not considered textile factories as a top priority in the reform of state-owned enterprises, because the huge number of workers was indeed scary. If it's not done right, it will really cause social unrest. But after reading the information in his hand, Yang Dongxu realized that this pit was much deeper than he imagined.
1994 can be said to be a memorable year in the history of China's textile industry. In this year, the total domestic exports of textile products reached 35.55 billion US dollars, accounting for 13.2% of the global textile and apparel share.
But such a prosperous industry makes a lot of foreign exchange from exports. But in fact, more than 70% of domestic factories are currently in a state of semi-stop production, and workers cannot afford to pay their wages. Except for a few large state-owned textile factories that are still supported by the state, the remaining 30% are basically half-dead.
On one side is a booming market, even exporting to earn foreign exchange. On the other side are half-dead textile factories. Such an obvious contrast is so dazzling. Could it be that most of them have been eaten up by those large textile factories?
But those textile factory workers who are clearly still losing money cannot afford to pay their wages, but where are the textiles they are still working overtime to produce?
If you want products such as thermos bottles and enamel jars that have been eliminated by the times, you will lose money when the factory loses money. But obviously the products are still selling well, and you are still losing money?
How? In order to break the shackles of textile exports, the country is engaging in a trade war with the world's textiles to seize market share, so everyone is losing money and making money?
Obviously, the reason why so many textile factories are facing bankruptcy is because they are not making money, but because only a few people are making a lot of money, and most of the remaining people can only drink from the northwest wind.
Yang Dongxu's previous imagination of a textile factory closing down because it couldn't continue to operate is completely different. If it fails to continue operating and closes down, then the obstacle of his acquisition being a bailout for the country will be much smaller.
But the products are still selling well, but most of the workers are drinking from the northwest wind, and the state can barely survive with large subsidies every day. This is a bit difficult to handle. As the saying goes, cutting off a person's financial path is like killing his parents. This time, he decided that the textile industry was not a small business, but rather than monopolizing the market, he was also aiming for at least 60% of the market share.
How many people's livelihood will be cut off by this? One or two people don't care too much. After all, the reform of state-owned enterprises is imperative and the boss is standing in the way. But if he buys ten or eight textile factories, or even hundreds of textile factories, this person will be offended...
"NND, it's just a confusing account." Yang Dongxu put down the information in his hand and leaned back in his chair. Yang Dongxu felt that his brain was throbbing with pain.
I was really shocked when I saw it. No wonder Yu Feihong kept reminding me before coming. At first, he thought that Yu Feihong had misjudged the strength in his hands, but now he realized that he had misjudged the depth of the pit.
At first, he planned to quickly monopolize the market. With the current state of half-life domestic textile factories, a start-up capital of 500 million was more than enough. After all, it was impossible to acquire and accept full payment from workers. At most, he would give one-fifth first. , the rest will be paid off over several years, and with so much money, it’s almost time to gain a foothold.
But now it seems that there is such a big pit, coupled with the organization of a group of vested interests, let alone 500 million, even 5 billion is not enough.
"It seems we can only take our time." After gathering the information on the table and throwing it into the drawer, Yang Dongxu walked out of the study while rubbing his forehead.
As soon as Yang Dongxu went out, he saw his sister Hongying walking towards him. Seeing his sister's embarrassed look, he was about to ask if something had happened, when he saw a man behind his sister who was as uneasy as she was.
He was stunned for a moment and then realized that this man was none other than his brother-in-law Liu Leehom. He was very familiar with his brother-in-law's appearance. He was not taller than his elder sister, who was 165 at most.
His forehead is a bit big, and although his hair is not that of a 'very smart' person after all, Leehom Liu is 22 years old this year, it is definitely not close to lush. Although his appearance is not very ugly, it is the kind that cannot be found in a crowd.
After my elder sister Hongying adapted to life in Yanjing and opened her own store, she no longer looked like a rural girl in appearance or temperament. The two of them standing together felt like a rich girl supporting a diaosi.
This is not because Yang Dongxu started fighting after being reborn and looked down on his brother-in-law, but in the previous life, even though his elder sister did not have the fashion and temperament she has now, he felt that his short brother-in-law was not worthy of her.
But everyone has their own preferences for carrots and vegetables, and neither the brother-in-law nor his family has anything to say about his elder sister, so naturally he won't say much, and he also helps a lot of parents. work.
"Xu...Xu Zi..." Hong Ying, who originally had the courage to bring her boyfriend to the study to find her younger brother, was frightened when she saw her younger brother suddenly coming out of the study. I don’t know where to start when I prepare my words before jumping. He rubbed the corners of his clothes with his embarrassed hands, a little afraid to look at his little brother.
"Have you eaten?" Yang Dongxu's expression returned to normal after being stunned for a moment.
"Not yet...not yet, not...that..." Hearing Yang Dongxu seem to be asking himself, Liu Leehom said quickly. But as soon as I finished saying it, I felt something was wrong and wanted to change it, but I didn’t know how to say it, and I felt a little sweaty on my forehead.
In fact, although Leehom Liu has never seen much of the world, he is usually not the coward he is now. After all, people who come all the way from Sichuan to Yanjing to work hard these days really can't survive if they don't have some courage.
So before coming here, even though my girlfriend kept telling me that although my little brother is young, he has a big say in the family. As long as he agrees, basically the parents will be halfway through. Although he was seriously anxious about what his girlfriend said and felt uneasy and uneasy, he was not too nervous.
After all, meeting a brother-in-law who is three years younger than yourself is much more confident than meeting your own father-in-law and mother-in-law. But after seeing Yang Dongxu, his body became a little unruly, and his mouth instantly became clumsy.
Is it because Yang Dongxu is too tall and puts pressure on himself? It does not seem.
Because the other person looks unfriendly? It didn't seem to be the case. After the other party was stunned for a moment, his expression returned to normal.
Then why are you so nervous that you can’t even say anything? For a while, Liu Leehom couldn’t find the reason/
"It's time to have lunch at this point, let's have a meal together." Yang Dongxu said with a smile.
"No, that's me..." Liu Leehom quickly waved his hand and refused.
But before he could finish his words, his girlfriend glared at him and quickly shut her mouth. Seeing Liu Leehom's appearance, Yang Dongxu smiled and said nothing.
In fact, he was very surprised when his sister suddenly started dating and had a boyfriend from another place. Since his eldest sister had been working hard and doing housework since she was a child, she was too soft-tempered. He was afraid that his sister would marry too far away and be bullied.
Later he learned that soft-tempered people also have happiness in being soft-tempered. For example, when my brother-in-law says something about the elder sister, she will cry when she feels wronged. When Liu Leehom cries, he becomes soft-hearted and ignores all the logic and quickly comforts her.
So it doesn't matter whether a girl is bullied or not, especially between husband and wife. As long as there is love, no matter what the girl's temper is, she will be loved.
Lunch is eaten in the dining room. In fact, if there are no guests or there are many people at dinner. Yang Dongxu would basically eat something casually with Old Man Xuan on the stone table in the front yard, and he would often squat at the gate with a bowl and pull noodles. Sometimes, Old Man Xuan and I would chew on each other enthusiastically.
Seeing Liu Leehom's embarrassment, perhaps he would feel more comfortable eating on the stone table in the front yard. He also chose to eat in the spacious dining room. This was not because Yang Dongxu wanted to show off, but because it was Liu Leehom's first visit. Even if his parents no longer had the etiquette they should have There are still some. You don't let anyone in the dining room, but you let people deal with you in the courtyard. Who are you looking down on?
"Sit down, nothing happens. As long as my sister agrees, I will definitely have no objection. Why are you in such a hurry?" When he came to the dining room, Yang Dongxu had no humility to let him sit on the main seat. Liu Leehom hadn't married his sister yet, so he should have The shelf still needs to be picked up.
Even if he knew who his brother-in-law was, he couldn't act too happy, otherwise others would think that the girl from their old Yang family couldn't get married. The first half of the words were addressed to Leehom Liu, and the second half of the words were naturally asked to his elder sister.
Although he had a showdown with his elder sister last time, he was not surprised that his elder sister was hesitant to talk about this matter until the end of the year. It was obviously abnormal to bring Liu Leehom here in such a hurry.
Seeing that her brother still agreed that nothing had changed, Hongying breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "My little grandpa is coming to Yanjing."
"Why did you suddenly come to Yanjing? Did something happen?" Yang Dongxu's expression changed.
"Xiao Hao was feeling unwell and was diagnosed with pneumonia at the city hospital. However, he was still not feeling better after staying in the hospital for a week. My grandfather was a little worried and contacted my aunt and told me to come to Yanjing for a visit." Hong Ying said.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Yang Dongxu frowned.
"My grandpa and my aunt didn't let me talk, saying not to delay your class. If you hadn't come back unexpectedly yesterday, I would have..."
"When will it arrive?" Yang Dongxu asked without worrying about the issue.
He knew what kind of temper his little grandpa had. He was a relative, but he was definitely not the kind of person who took advantage of others. If you have any relatives in your family who are in trouble, you can help them. If you don't have one, you will just work hard and not ask for anything.
Although my grandpa didn't say anything when he returned home in the past two years, my aunt Ran Feifei would forget to send money home every once in a while. Being casual always makes the young grandpa feel that the Yang family is losing too much money, so this time since his daughter is in Yanjing, even if she is just a stepdaughter, she is a family after all, so naturally she does not want Yang Dongxu to be busy anymore.
If he hadn't come back suddenly this time, it is estimated that his parents would not have said much to him when he went back to celebrate the New Year after the treatment. Ran Feifei could also arrange for the treatment, and there would be no need for him to go back to Yanjing from Hangzhou.
"The flight is tomorrow morning and will arrive in the afternoon."
"Has the hospital arrangements been made?"
"My aunt has already made arrangements, and has contacted several experts at the Second City Hospital." Seeing that her younger brother was not too angry, Hongying breathed a sigh of relief.
"You guys eat here first, I'll call my aunt and ask." Yang Dongxu was still a little worried.
Although his aunt was vaguely known as the most powerful woman in Yanjing catering, she just arranged for a pneumonia patient to be hospitalized and didn't need to say much because of her connections, but he still felt uneasy until he asked about such a thing clearly.
