Chu He didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he saw his face covered with snack dregs and the snack baskets piled on the floor. He quickly shouted: "I can't kill you! Why did you buy so much? How can you go back soon?"
Zhang Yu hurriedly said: "The store will deliver the things to my house in a while. I wonder where the leader is staying?"
"I live in the guest house of Big World. You can just hand it over to the service desk." Chu He said, and then ordered the check.
As a senator, of course he doesn't carry much cash with him. Zhangji is not a store in the Senate's special supply system, so naturally he cannot record accounts with the senator's black card. Therefore, Park Ji-hyun carries a Delong checkbook with him and fills in the amount on the spot. .
Zhang Yu took the abacus and shipping order and made the abacus himself. His abacus was already very good, but now he was showing off even more. He moved the beads smoothly and sang the name of the product, unit price, and quantity beside the abacus without any hesitation. Soon the accounts were settled and the song was sung.
Chu He filled in the numbers in the checkbook, and then stamped it with the ring monogram he carried with him - this check can be exchanged for cash at any Delong branch with Delong's joint exchange number.
"This is anonymous, don't lose it." Chu He said with a smile as he handed it over.
"The chief is joking, your business is now equivalent to the store's sales for a week. The store dares not to collect it carefully." Zhang Yu said.
Watching Chu He and his entourage leave, Zhang Yu looked at the mountains of snack baskets and snack boxes in front of him, and he couldn't be happy at all - if he had made such a big deal during this slow business period, he would have been very happy. God, but now he only felt heavy in his heart.
I have already stated my position in front of Mr. Chu Yuan, and I cannot shirk my participation in Nanyang's stock offering. I must participate to some extent.
But where does this money come from?
Zhang Yu doesn't need to look at the account books - he has already shredded them. Whether it's Zhang Ji Food or Zhang's Old Shop, he knows all about the accounts. Just two words: no money!
If you don't participate in this Nanyang fund-raising, not only will you be suspected of deceiving the Chu senator, but you will also be unable to explain it to the Senate. No matter how much you emphasize the difficulties, in the eyes of the elders, this is a "perfunctory attitude" and "uncooperative", and if you go on the line, it is "double-minded"...
Zhang Yu was sweating coldly and thinking about it. The only thing I can do is discuss this matter with my father.
The next night, Zhang Yu returned home.
Since then, the Zhang family has moved into a new mansion, and according to the rules of a large family, they have used a concierge and bought several family members to help them. As soon as he, the young man, entered the gate, the servant boy on the door kept announcing the news inside.
Zhang Yu rarely goes home these days. As soon as he entered the main room, Zhang's mother was already waiting for him.
Originally, the meeting between mother and son, who had not seen each other for many days, was a warm moment of motherly kindness and son's filial piety. However, Zhang Yu frowned, entered the room, and sat down after a cursory greeting, with a worried look on his face.
Seeing his frown, Zhang's mother couldn't help but stepped forward and asked him, "Yu'er, what's the matter? Are you having trouble with your business?"
Zhang Yu didn't answer, but just asked: "Mom, where is daddy?"
"I just came back from the Great World Store, and I am resting in the back room." Mother babbled. "He is also old, and he refuses to rest for a while and asks the guys to do it. He has to stare in front of the stove. I said to him: You Why are you so concerned about such a small business? A year's worth of business is not worth one day's worth of your son's business..."
"Auntie, please bring me out. I'll discuss things with him."
"Your father is already asleep..."
"I'm in a hurry."
Zhang Yu's mother was surprised. Her son's expression and tone were completely different from usual. It was obvious that something big had happened. She didn't dare to neglect, and quickly got up and walked back. Not long after, Zhang Yu's father came out from behind, rubbing his eyes.
Although Zhang Yu's father was asleep in a daze, he suddenly woke up more than half when he heard his wife say that his son "had something urgent to discuss." He quickly put on his clothes and got up and came to the main room.
There was no time for politeness between father and son. Before the father could sit down, he asked, "Yu'er, what's the emergency?"
Zhang Yu glanced at the yard outside the house. Zhang Yu's mother knew that her son had something secret to tell his father, so she immediately sent the maid who was waiting on the porch out.
Zhang Yu lowered his voice: "Dad, grandma, there is something I need to discuss with dad. How much cash does the family have?"
Zhang's mother was surprised and said: "Yu'er, what are you going to do that requires money from the family?"
Father Zhang did not speak and pondered for a while. For this son, he went from doubt to trust, to recently feeling uneasy.
It goes without saying that trust is a given. This small walnut cake shop, which was almost on the verge of closing down despite struggling to support itself, flourished under the chance of his son and suddenly reached a scale that he could not even imagine in his dreams - let alone He, the ancestors of all the ancestors, would probably be shocked to see him.
He himself never thought that his son would really be able to "bring glory to his ancestors" - after Zhang Yu turned ten, he gave up this hope at all, and only asked his son not to be ridiculous and ruin this small family fortune. If you can safely keep the family business and pass it on to the next generation, just pass on the Zhang family and this small shop.
However, while trusting his son's ability, he was also vaguely worried.
Nouveau riche often ends up in trouble. This is Zhang’s father’s life experience accumulated over the years. To put it bluntly, my son is just the young shopkeeper of a bakery, and he is not the material to do big things or make big business. The noble man who fell in love with him by chance rose to the top of the world and became the "Brother Zhang" known to everyone in and outside Guangzhou. In the Guangzhou Federation of Industry and Commerce where big bosses gathered, he was the first person to be held high. How many dignitaries from the past came to his cake shop to buy snacks, not just for the bite, but just to leave an impression on their son.
I saw him building tall buildings, watching him feast and dance, and seeing his buildings collapse. Father Zhang had seen such a thing more than once. Can my son pass on the family business safely? He has been worried about this matter, and for this worry, he is always making preparations.
Although my son has talked about business difficulties in the past, but today he started asking for money, it was obvious that something big had happened to the company!
After a long time, Zhang's father finally said: "I have some money at home. But you have to explain clearly, what do you plan to do with this money? Don't hide it. If there is a big problem, tell it, and the family will be able to do it." Those who think of ideas try their best to think of ways.”
Zhang Yu then explained one by one the reports in the weekly newspaper of the Federation of Industry and Commerce of the past few days about going south to colonize and issue bonds; Mr. Gao sent a letter asking how much he was prepared to pay; and today's visit from Elder Chu.
"...Whether it's stocks or bonds, some amount of money will always come out, but now my son has no spare money at all!"
Both Zhang's parents and Zhang's mother were shocked and asked quickly: "Didn't you say that the food company's business is very big? It's too late to make orders..."
Zhang Yu smiled bitterly and said: "It is indeed too late to make the order, but the daily expenses are also high. The New Year is approaching, and the flour, rice noodles, sugar, and nuts owed to various brands are a huge amount..."
The number he said made the old couple take a breath. Not to mention themselves, even among the people they knew, no one had ever handled such a large amount of money!
"Can you still get this money?" Zhang's father asked anxiously. He understood the terrible consequences of a broken capital chain, "Be honest!"
"It's okay." Zhang Yu hurriedly comforted his father, "It's just that after paying back this money, I will no longer have money to buy Nanyang bonds!"
Zhang's mother wondered: "Why do Australians borrow money from big companies when they are so rich? Australians can't buy the machines in the factory with borrowed money?"
Zhang Yu said: "Dad, this matter is one and the same. Our family borrowed the money from Delong Bank, and this time it is Nanyang Company that borrowed from us."
Father Zhang said: "Aren't they all from the Senate?"
This time Zhang Yu couldn't explain it. He scratched his head and said: "Well... Anyway, I just need to borrow money. I have already gone to the Federation to ask: Whether it is stocks or debts, it is one yuan per share. If it is stocks, That is, wait for the dividends to be paid out after three years, and the interest will be paid in cents. If you buy a bond, the interest will be 1 cent per year, and the contract period is 3 years, and the interest will be paid once a year."
"Isn't the interest rate high? When we used to deposit money in the store, we would give them a profit of 1.5 cents a year!" Mother Zhang said.
Father Zhang frowned and pondered for a long time: "Ignoring the high interest rate and low interest rate, Yu'er, do I have to borrow this money?
"The secretary of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry said that it was all voluntary. That Elder Chu also said the same thing. But..."
"I understand!" Father Zhang sighed heavily, "When you reach this position, you can't help but buy it!"
"Yes." Zhang Yu nodded, "The family's property was personally supported by the Senate. Now the Senate needs money. Let us borrow money. Can we say 'no'? If outsiders find out, the Senate will Isn’t the hospital completely disgraced..."
The old Zhang family couple fell into silence, and their son's words made sense. Indeed, the Senate will not do anything to them if they don't buy this bond, but from now on they will no longer be the Senate's "own people".
None of them can afford such consequences.
"I think there is no problem with this bond. Why did the Senate lie to us? To put it bluntly, we and the Senate are tied together, and there is no reason to deliberately deceive us first. And after buying the bond, you will be eligible to join the Nanyang Company Stock, this Nanyang Company is owned by the Senate and specializes in Nanyang trade. Dad, think about how many ships the Senate has in hand? And it is invincible at sea. In the future, doesn’t all trade in Nanyang have to be controlled by the Senate? The Senate makes money Ability, if you invest in Nanyang Company shares in the future, how much money can you make?" Zhang Yu tried his best to persuade.
Zhang's father said: "Ah Yu, I can trust the Senate. I can also tell you about my family's background. I secretly saved a sum of money for the purpose of buying Shatin over there in Dongguan - Xingan over there. The Shatian is very cheap, only three silver dollars per acre. I plan to buy a hundred acres as the basis of my family. Since you have urgent need now, take it out first."
