Wei Tao did not directly answer Cao Haiyang's question. He just said: There is no way to avoid it.
Cao Haiyang could understand, and he also had a sideways understanding of Tong Meng and Zhang Laosan's style of dealing with others.
In business, harmony is the most important thing.
But it is not uncommon for people to regard life as trivial for the sake of money.
That Zhang Laosan relied on his brother and acted without any sense of proportion. There was an incident in the picking garden. If the Hot Spring Villa gave in again, I think that guy would stare at Wei Tao and Liu Dalong, approach them step by step, and treat them as the God of Wealth.
With Cao Haiyang, he would definitely not say stupid things like Liu Dalong is the leader and you, Wei Tao, should not take the lead. The shopping mall is like a battlefield. Even if there are intrigues and intrigues, you still need to be surrounded by three or five comrades when you charge into battle. Even if there are many stories of betrayal, it is undeniable that fighting alone can never be as powerful as the collective efforts of others.
The two have cooperated for a long time and have a special connection with each other. Moreover, both parties have developed independently now. If the key intersection areas cannot be regarded as one, then the basis for cooperation between them will be gone.
"Uncle Liu has been running around. I am just a dog-headed strategist here, which may not be effective."
After lunch, with Cao Xiyu holding her father's arm and coquettishly, Cao Haiyang, who confirmed that nothing happened in the afternoon, nodded coldly and followed them to see the house.
There was no need for Wei Tao to pick up the car himself, Zhu Xichun drove the car downstairs to Cao Xiyu's house.
A brand new Toyota Prado is tall, strong and big, which totally does not fit Zhou Min’s taste. He thinks this car is not as good as a Jetta.
When Cao Haiyang arrived, he walked around and muttered: "It's a waste to drive this car for you."
Wei Tao quickly handed over the key: "Uncle Cao, please drive twice first, and let's go to Yucheng International Community near XX Street."
There is no need to say anything more about Cao Haiyang. Test driving and the like are just trivial matters. I have been to his office. Among other things, there are two large maps in his office, one is a large map of the city, and the other is a large map of the entire city. The scaling is different.
He believed that he was the captain of one side and was responsible for specific work. He was familiar with every street in the city. There was no need to say anything. Just tell him the address and he would be more familiar with it than anyone who had been there several times. Which route was the most suitable? .
Zhou Min obviously didn't like this car. It was hard to get into the car. Even though the seats were comfortable and the space in the back was spacious, he still had the feeling that he was asking for trouble if he had to sit in this thing instead of sitting in a sedan.
Buzz.
I'm an experienced driver, so I don't just start it when I get up. With this high horsepower, even if the car is heavy, I don't hesitate to pull the handbrake and step on the accelerator to get a feel for it.
Cao Haiyang was happy to see that Wei Tao did not have a special license plate.
Landline phone numbers, mobile phone numbers, and license plate numbers are all popular nowadays. Lucky numbers give people a sense of status, and the prices are also rising. Someone here said hello and asked for two license plate numbers. He also specialized in it. Called to make arrangements.
Of course he knew Wei Tao's phone number and knew that this kid had been immersed in similar things for a long time. He didn't expect that this time when he changed his car, he saw that the license plate number was issued normally and not from someone else.
He was very satisfied in his heart that he knew how to keep a low profile at this time, especially after his relationship with him was known to everyone, and he could endure the high profile that could be satisfied without spending anything, and still be able to handle it clearly.
It only took me an afternoon to look at three houses. Who would have thought that the dignified Principal Zhou would be more addicted to looking at houses than shopping. Cao Xiyu, the person involved, felt that he had seen enough and had a good eye, so he wanted to look at a few more. Compare it. As a result, Zhou Min asked about the property and water supply, which made the salesperson confused. What are the numbers of the indoor engineering wires? What brand of floor heating pipes does it provide and what kind of warranty does it provide? What brand is the PVC water pipe in your home? What areas of the house have load-bearing walls?
Not only that, he also took the key to scrape the walls and check near the windows to find out whether the upstairs was sold and to what family it was sold to. He inquired about everything in detail, especially the last question. Cao Xiyu didn't understand it. Zhou Min Explain to her, daughter, you must know what kind of people the neighbors are around you. You are not afraid of conflicts and can just solve them. But you are afraid of meeting some low-quality people who cannot be reasonable. It will not be comfortable to live in such an expensive house. .
The salespeople on the side all gave thumbs up.
If this were not the case, we would not have viewed three houses in one afternoon.
At dusk and sunset, Zhou Min called Zhou Xinglian and quickly picked her up. The five of them went to eat at a hot pot restaurant that had just opened in the city.
Zhou Xinglian, who has a slight inferiority complex in front of Cao Haiyang and Zhou Min, is actually a little afraid of meeting them. Fortunately, those two people are sophisticated and proficient. When they sit together with Zhou Xinglian, they talk about home affairs and what the other person is good at, but they will never talk about them. The purpose of talking about things in social circles is to avoid Zhou Xinglian's embarrassment, and try to avoid not being able to get along with each other much, and the discomfort of resistance.
Cao Xiyu was clearly taught by her mother's words and deeds. She sat next to Zhou Xinglian and served her more food than her mother.
A woman's appearance to please her is only one aspect.
To see if a daughter values the man around her and loves him enough, you can tell by looking at the attitude of her parents and family towards the man. Cao Xiyu is a smart girl, and she has been taught by her mother's words and deeds. Even if she has a wrong temper, even if her personality is inconsistent, with her family and the current speed at which Wei Tao is making money, she will naturally not have to worry about food, rice, oil and salt in the future, nor will she be secluded. Conflicts arise over living space, and even if you have children in the future, hiring a nanny will not cause any pressure at all. Therefore, there are not many possible conflicts between her and her future mother-in-law. At most, she is uncomfortable with her living habits, but this is obviously not a problem.
During the chat, Zhou Xinglian talked about having children in the future. Zhou Xinglian was not very confident. At this time, she was very generous and said that she would cover everything from nannies to milk powder.
Only after returning home did Cao Xiyu tell her parents that Wei Tao gave his mother five thousand yuan every week, and now it seemed that all the profits from the Anshun Street store were also given to her mother.
"Then how much money can Wei Tao make now?"
It is inevitable for anyone to have such gossip thoughts, and Zhou Min is no exception. Five thousand a day, no wonder Zhou Xinglian is now broad-minded and fat, smiling all day long. Her low self-esteem is because she is afraid that she will say the wrong thing and make her son lose face, but I am not inferior to others. humble.
The current per capita salary in Songjiang is less than 1,000 yuan, and the wages in slightly better enterprises and institutions are only a few thousand to more than 2,000 yuan.
"I didn't ask, Mom, don't look at me like this. I just didn't bother to ask. Wei Tao didn't hide it from me. It was more than a month ago this year. I just settled the accounts a few days ago. Dexin made a total of three One million, pure profit, has been transferred to his personal account, and the money from employee wages and bonuses and the store's income and daily consumption have been set aside."
"How much money can you make from selling mobile phones?" Zhou Min was surprised, while Cao Haiyang frowned slightly. If it weren't for the second-hand mobile phone Wei Tao gradually retreated to make room, he would have thought it was the income.
"No, it seems to be at the accessory store. I don't know much about it. It seems that Wei Tao and the others went to the south a few years ago and negotiated cooperation with several small commodity manufacturing factories. Well, Mom, didn't you mean that I am a fake leather person? Does the phone case look good?”
Cao Xiyu held up his mobile phone, a fan's imitation leather mobile phone case.
"The selling price seems to be twenty yuan, and the cost price seems to be less than three yuan. In addition, freight, labor, rent, water and electricity, etc. are all included in the calculation. If the customer bargains for a cheaper price of two yuan or three yuan, even if the final price is fifteen yuan You can earn several times the amount of money."
Zhou Min didn't think anything of it: "How many times more can this thing earn, considering the price? How much money can it make?" She was not afraid of anything else, she was just afraid that Wei Tao would go astray, and that his business would be in trouble. In the back, I used to worry about affecting my husband, but now I really care about her. I love my house so much that even if I have ten thousand thoughts, I will put it away from my daughter, leaving only love and care.
"Mom, he has two parts stores. At most, he can sell two to three thousand of these parts a day, including wholesale. For one mobile phone, you may need several accessories to buy, such as a universal battery charger, a mobile phone chain, a mobile phone case, and a lanyard. , beautiful pendant..."
Cao Xiyu talked a lot about Wei Tao with her parents. The latter did not hide anything from her, and she did not deliberately pry. They were together every day, so how could she not know what she should know.
Cao Haiyang said that the transfer fee for the contract rights of Songjiang Theater was as high as 5 million, which made Zhou Min couldn't help but wonder how much money Wei Tao made. In her memory, if Wei Tao hadn't been found out about the school incident this time, what would he have done? I think he is the hawker who delivers fruit boxes to the school.
In the blink of an eye, he already has tens of millions of assets.
"Don't you work?"
After agreeing again and feeling that this was a good future marriage partner for his daughter, Cao Haiyang came back at noon the next day to pick up some clothes. Cao Haiyang, who was going on a business trip to the area below to inspect the work in the afternoon, looked at Wei Tao sideways and asked again.
Just come and treat this as your own home.
There is nothing wrong with you treating me as my own family. We as parents recognize that you two are officially in love. We also see that your relationship has already passed the final stage, so we treat you as this family.
But that’s not the reason why you don’t regard yourself as an outsider in my house. As you smoke my cigarettes, the wine in my cupboard is running low, and the little cotton-padded jacket at home is drafty. You want to empty everything out, and now you don’t just take it out. I went downstairs for a walk last night and bought some fruit.
On the sofa, my daughter was covered with a blanket, nestled on the sofa, eating snacks and fruits and watching TV. She didn't have an elegant posture, so she couldn't be more comfortable.
Cao Haiyang could not see this scene.
He could only see Wei Tao sitting aside, watching the other person smoking his own cigarette, eating the fruit he bought, and then eating the food cooked by his wife.
He didn't really want to go on a business trip, and even had a thought, why hasn't his daughter started school yet?
I don’t come back from vacation, I think about it, worry about it, and look forward to coming back as soon as possible. It's good to be back. The atmosphere of the past has been restored at home. Although sometimes Cao Haiyang has to be arranged by his wife to do housework. When his daughter is not at home, there will be no mess in the house for three days. When she is at home, Cao Haiyang will be pregnant in two or three days. Clean up the situation.
But there is no problem in serving my daughter. What the hell is that next to the key?
"Mom and Dad, we went out and won't be back for dinner tonight."
Cao Haiyang, who was just packing a few clothes, looked at the mess on the sofa and coffee table. Although he knew in his heart that this was all the work of his daughter, he felt uncomfortable when he thought that Wei Tao was there, and he was so petty as he had never been before. Will commit.
Zhou Min came over and said with a smile: "Okay, how many more days can my daughter stay at home? Do you think that if your daughter is not at home, you can't even invite her if she comes?"
snort.
Cao Haiyang snorted without refuting, and expressed his attitude with a cold snort.
"Damn girl, you pretended that I didn't know, and you still went out to play. Wei Tao is a sensible kid, and our Xiaoyu is also sensible. Although it shouldn't be true, if you really stay up all night, nothing can you and I say. Now that the children are children, look at it. They are not sent back before ten o'clock every day. Do you want them to play outside, or do you want your daughter to be at home and you can see it as soon as you get home?"
Facing his wife's consolation, Cao Haiyang understood the truth, but it was just a normal reaction of a father. First he was reluctant to let go of his daughter, and then he looked down on the many criticisms of his daughter's boyfriend.
"He dares!"
He dares to stay up all night! See how I deal with him.
It doesn't matter whether he dares or she dares. It's all the stubbornness of the father's last words. When a daughter gets older, sooner or later she will be the treasure in the arms of another man. Sooner or later, she will become the mistress of another family. Gradually, Slow changes are normal.
………………
Natural home.
The small hot spring courtyard reserved by Wei Tao is not the kind of warmth that comes with a sun room, but an open-air hot spring pool with the strongest texture when there is scattered snow.
After the new year, the snow melts and the weather becomes warmer. The dirty snow on the streets has just dissipated. Another light snowfall brings another dirty day to the whole city.
It's not the vast white cover of winter, just scattered light snow, and the temperature is not cold. The only change is to make the city blocks look dirtier. It cannot cover the dust, it will only be fused with the dust and become dirty mud and snow.
Seeing the falling snow, Cao Xiyu was no longer interested in comfortable hotels. Knowing that her boyfriend could make money, she didn't care about wasting a day's hotel accommodation money. She drove directly to Tiantianju and soaked in the hot springs. It might be the last snowfall this winter. , the whole person soaked in the hot spring, watching the little snowflakes fall.
It's boring to sit on the side of the pavilion. You must stay on the open-air side. Stretch out your hand and touch the edge of the pool. There is a hint of coolness, and the hot spring water is wrapped in warmth.
There were bursts of noise outside, and Wei Tao's cell phone placed aside rang, a call from Zhu Xichun.
"Taozi, I came exactly as you said. I was stopped, Mad, and I didn't care when I came up. It seemed that I was here to arrest someone. I didn't listen to us at all. I seemed to believe that there are men and women here who are breaking the law." Behavior' and almost hit the guests in the hot spring area."
"Did you also come to the Yamen Gate to catch the police?"
"Well, yes, they said they received a tip that there were illegal activities here, and they also warned us not to try to hinder them from enforcing the law. Bah."
"It's okay to stop him. The rest is all formal procedures. Okay, I guess I have to leave here too."
After hanging up the phone, Wei Tao shrugged at Cao Xiyu: "Let's eat the roasted lamb neck for a while. Come back to soak after eating."
Cao Xiyu nodded, not showing any disagreement, but showing a little worry: "Still over there?"
Wei Tao nodded.
"If this goes on forever, no one will benefit, right?"
Sighing, Wei Tao smiled bitterly: "There is no way, no one can make the final decision, and neither side will accept it. Now we can only hurt each other, see who can't bear it in the end, or see who is unlucky and let the other party Catch the biggest sore foot and beat him to death with one final word. As for giving in? It has nothing to do with us anymore. Both sides have found many connections. If these people don't open their mouths and let us talk about reconciliation, then it is considered a brain attack. You have to keep beating the dog’s head.”
It seems that this time, Tiantianju and Longquan Villa coincided with each other and became the offensive tools for some people to confront each other. Now they cannot withdraw if they want to, so they can only continue to serve as the first battlefield for the charge.
