Just when the third uncle picked up the pliers and was about to continue repairing the dustpan, and when the third aunt was about to go back to the house with the gift Cao Zhiqiang had just given, she suddenly heard the voice of the eldest daughter-in-law Yu Li.
"Mom, Dad, are you busy? We are here."
The third uncle then raised his head and looked at Yu Li and Yan Jiecheng, who were walking side by side: "Hey, what kind of wind is blowing today? You two actually know that you are here?"
Yan Jiecheng immediately said: "Dad, look at what you are saying. I am your son. Isn't it normal to take the time to come and see your two elders?"
Speaking of this, Yan Jiecheng kicked a paper bag in his hand: "Look, I also bought your favorite peanuts and melon seeds."
"Humph." Yan Bugui smiled coldly, "If you have nothing to do, just go to the Three Treasures Palace. Do you have anything to ask dad? I'll tell you first, it's okay to borrow money! It's easy to borrow and pay back, and it's not difficult to borrow again. , you haven’t paid me back the money you paid last time.”
"Dad, what you said is so heartbreaking!" Yan Jiecheng said, "Can't we come to see you and be filial to you?"
"Yes, dad." Yu Li said with a smile, "We just came to see you today and have a meal together, nothing else."
"That's right." Yan Jiecheng said quickly, "I don't mean anything else."
"Hmph, that's a good feeling." Yan Bugui curled his lips.
At this moment, Yu Li winked at Yan Jiecheng, and Yan Jiecheng quickly said to his mother: "Mom, what are you holding in your hand? It's very foreign."
"Oh, this." The third aunt said, "What about that? Qiangzi just came here, and he brought his girlfriend with him. This is a gift he gave us. It said it was Japanese matcha. It was when he went to Japan on a business trip. , I bought it there specially as a gift for our old couple."
"Oh, it's a Japanese product." Yan Jiecheng hurriedly walked over and looked at it carefully, "Let me tell you, this box is so foreign-style and has a lot of Japanese characters on it. It's really a foreign product."
"Mom." Yu Li narrowed her eyes and asked with a smile, "You just said that Qiangzi is here? Is it Cao Zhiqiang?"
"Yes." The third aunt smiled and nodded, "We estimate that after Qiangzi brought his girlfriend, he deliberately brought someone to identify him. After all, Qiangzi is also someone who goes out to this courtyard. It’s his hometown after all.”
The third uncle adjusted his glasses: "Why Yu Li, are you going to join in the fun? It's not to borrow money, is it? Then I advise you not to go.
Qiangzi finally came back, and even brought his girlfriend here because he wanted to visit relatives. After all, elder sisters are like mothers.
At this time, people are probably busy introducing each other, and then the family is enjoying themselves behind closed doors. Don't bother others at this time. "
"Yes, Yu Li." The third aunt said with a smile, "Don't go at this time. They are probably chatting with the whole family. If you really want to ask someone to do something, go back and wait until lunch is over. I will go and help you first." Let’s find out more.”
Yu Li rolled her eyes, smiled and nodded: "Okay, listen to your parents."
Immediately afterwards, Yu Li turned around and glared at Yan Jiecheng: "If you don't go to help your parents with their work, why are you standing here?"
"Ah, that's right." Yan Jiecheng chuckled, "Mom, is there any other work at home? Let me do it."
"No, no, no," the third aunt said with a smile, "There's nothing to do, I don't need you."
"Then let me help you take this back to the house." Yan Jiecheng took the Japanese matcha from the third aunt's hand with a smile, "I'll make you some tea by the way, oh, Japanese matcha, I've never had it in my life."
"That's all you can do!" The third aunt smiled, and then followed Yan Jiecheng back to the house.
After the third aunt returned to the house with Yan Jiecheng, Yu Li looked at the third uncle who continued to repair the dustpan: "By the way, Dad, is Silly Zhu here?"
"He is." The third uncle said while repairing the dustpan, "I haven't seen him go out today, he should still be at home."
At this point, the third uncle stopped, raised his head, and smiled at Yu Li: "Let me tell you, why did you two suddenly know that you are back today? It turns out that you are not here to see us, but to see Silly Zhu?"
Yu Li quickly apologized and said with a smile: "Looking at what you said, of course we mainly came to see your two elders. Of course, by the way, we came to Shazhu for a favor."
The third uncle shook his head, put down the pliers and said: "I understand, we are here to find Silly Zhu. Let me guess, you must have gone to Shiweitian first and found no one in the store. After asking people, you knew Silly Zhu Zhu asked for leave today, so you came here to look for him, right?"
Yu Li blinked, and then continued to smile apologetically: "If you don't say it's dad, I can't hide anything from you, that's all."
The third uncle curled his lips: "How can you hide your little plan from me? Tell me, what do you want to do with Silly Zhu? I'll help you give advice and make up the total."
"I was just about to tell you." Yu Li smiled.
"It's like this, didn't I open a small restaurant, but the business has never been successful. Not many people come to eat, and I can't make ends meet. I feel so worried.
Think about it, Dad, our restaurant is our hard work. Not only did we put all our savings into it, but we also borrowed a lot of money from you.
If business continues to be so bad, it's not a big deal to keep losing money, right?
Our loss of money is secondary, but the key is if we really lose money, your money will be wasted, right? "
"That's right." The third uncle nodded, "That's the truth."
Suddenly, the third uncle frowned: "Wait a minute, what do you mean by this? Don't you want to pay back the money?"
"How can I?" Yu Li said quickly, "How can I not pay back your money? It's not that matter."
"What's that?" The third uncle continued to frown.
Yu Li smiled and said: "That's right, these days, I have also discussed with Jie Cheng that the business of this restaurant is not good. The key is that the taste of the food is not good.
You said that when you go out to restaurants, you have to be unique. If the taste is similar to what you cook at home, who would go out and spend a lot of money to eat it? "
"That's true." Yan Bugui nodded, "So what you mean is...oh, I understand!"
Speaking of this, Yan Bugui said with a sudden look on his face: "Do you want to recruit Silly Zhu to work as a cook in your restaurant?
Hey, I advise you to give up this idea!
Silly Zhu is doing a good job in Shiweitian, and he has not been thrown out as the canteen director of the steel rolling mill. He is enjoying his work. How can he work as a cook in your small restaurant? It is impossible. "
Yu Li smiled and said: "Yes, we also know that we can't afford to hire Sha Zhu now, but doesn't Sha Zhu still have many apprentices?
Silly Zhu can't afford one, so why not hire him as an apprentice?
I heard that Shazhu is working in Shiweitian, but he has recruited a lot of new apprentices, and their craftsmanship seems to be quite good. Most of the dishes in Shiweitian are made by Shazhu’s apprentices, so Shazhu can be like this Laid back and at ease.
So we thought about it and asked Shazhu to recommend a cook to help.
I don’t ask for anything else, but I just want to be able to cook some good dishes and attract some customers to our small shop. Just don’t continue to lose money. "
The third uncle touched his chin: "That makes sense. Your restaurant won't be able to keep losing money like this. Then you go quickly. Silly Zhu should be up at this time. Go talk to him and speak softly. Just follow his lead and praise him more, and it should be fine."
Yu Li blinked: "Dad, won't you come with me? You are his third uncle. If you are present, I guess he can give you some face."
"Me?" The third uncle smiled, "I'll forget it."
"No, Dad." Yu Li said, "You come with me. You have more dignity than me, and your presence is more useful."
"Of course I know that." The third uncle smiled, "Just because I have more respect than you, that's why I can't go now."
"Why?" Yu Li asked doubtfully.
The third uncle smiled slightly and said: "You don't know that since Shazhu became a chef in Shiweitian, his income has been high, and his temper has also become trembling.
Although my face is not bad, it may not be better if I just go through it like this.
If you are like this, you should go and ask Silly Zhu yourself first. Of course it would be best if you can get success.
If you don't succeed in begging Silly Zhu, I will come forward again.
In this way, it would be the second time that I went to see him. Normally, he would not refute my face, otherwise, people would say that he is unreasonable.
So, I belong to this insurance and the backstage. If you do it this way, you will be more sure.
But if you ask me to go with you now, if it doesn't work, wouldn't everything be ruined and there won't even be any room for maneuver? "
Yu Li was stunned, then clapped her hands quickly and said, "Oh, Dad, you are still good at calculating, isn't that the truth?"
Yan Bugui smiled slightly: "So, you have to think carefully when doing things, and you can't just think about it."
"Yes, yes," Yu Li said with a smile, "Dad is right!"
Yan Bugui nodded: "Okay, you go find Shazhu first. If you have something to say, talk to me. If it doesn't work, come to me again."
"Hey, I know." Yu Li smiled and nodded, "Then I'll go to the backyard first."
"Go, go." Yan Bugui waved to Li.
After Yi Li left the front yard, Yan Bugui shook his head: "Hey, no one can worry about this."
After saying that, Yan Bugui picked up the pliers again and slowly repaired the dustpan again.
At the same time, Cao Zhiqiang had also brought Wu Qinghong back to Xikuayuan, where he greeted his sister and chatted.
"Zhiqiang." Cao Jiajia, who had just put down the phone, said with a smile, "I just got off the phone with your brother-in-law, and he is on his way here. He said he would be back in a while.
Oh, you said you, you didn't tell us in advance if you were coming, so we could be prepared. "
Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile while eating melon seeds: "We are all a family, what are we preparing for?"
Cao Jiajia turned her face and smiled: "What? I was planning to go to the store to work. Fortunately, you came early, otherwise you would have missed it."
Cao Zhiqiang chuckled: "What are you afraid of? Don't you have a phone? I'll give you a call at the worst."
"Then I have to make two trips." Cao Jiajia smiled.
Cao Zhiqiang smiled again, then nibbled on melon seeds without saying anything.
Cao Jiajia also smiled, and then looked at Wu Qinghong, who was sitting next to Cao Zhiqiang with her head lowered and looking a little shy, and said: "Hey, I brought Qinghong here today, what's the matter, are you going to formally introduce Qinghong to everyone? No. Hidden and tucked in?"
Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "Absolutely."
Yes, this is already the third day that Cao Zhiqiang and Uncle Lin have returned to Beijing together.
Not long after returning to the capital with Uncle Lin, he was called to meet with a mysterious leader.
When he saw the mysterious leader, Cao Zhiqiang was shocked. After all, he never expected that it would be him.
Fortunately, the other party was very kind and listened carefully to Cao Zhiqiang's experience. After that, he encouraged Cao Zhiqiang and told him to go ahead and do it boldly. Don't be afraid to cross the river by feeling for the stones. If you have any difficulties or suggestions, feel free to ask them. Be as content as possible.
In this way, after this meeting, many of Cao Zhiqiang's opinions were basically quickly satisfied.
For example, the matter of establishing a private company was instantly satisfied.
The Huaxia Audio and Video Company owned by Cao Zhiqiang was originally a joint venture state-owned company. After all, the state-owned Hongguang Machinery Factory accounted for 51% of the shares and had a controlling stake.
But this time, in response to Cao Zhiqiang's work, the Huaxia Audio Company quietly changed from a state-owned company to a sole proprietorship of a private limited liability company.
In other words, Hongguang Machinery Factory has transferred all its shares in Huaxia Audio and Video Company to Cao Zhiqiang at the price of one yuan. Cao Zhiqiang has become the wholly-owned shareholder of Huaxia Audio and Video Company, owning 100% of the equity, and is also the owner of this company. The legal representative of the company.
This also means that the country's first private limited company owned by an individual appeared quietly.
The emergence of the first private company in China occurred earlier than in the history of Cao Zhiqiang's previous life.
Because in the history of Cao Zhiqiang, the first private enterprise in China was Guangcai Industrial Co., Ltd. established on November 9, 1984, which was a company specially approved by the state.
But in this time and space, the first private enterprise in China became Huaxia Audio and Video Company, which was established on September 23, 1983. It was also a private enterprise specially approved by the state.
Strictly speaking, this is not the establishment of a new company, but a transformation of the company.
After all, Huaxia Audio and Video Company has been established a long time ago. It used to be a state-owned enterprise controlled by a state-owned enterprise under the public-private partnership system. Now it is just a form of equity transfer, allowing Cao Zhiqiang, a private individual, to own 100% of the company's equity, turning it from a state-owned enterprise to a private enterprise.
In other words, the company has only changed its equity and the nature of the company. On the surface, everything remains the same.
Of course, this was done to do something special for Cao Zhiqiang. The specific reason cannot be explained clearly.
Anyway, with this private company, it will be much easier for Cao Zhiqiang to cooperate with others abroad.
The director of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau also said that if Cao Zhiqiang wants to establish a new private company in the future, it will be easy to say hello. As long as there are no problems, he will be guaranteed a green light all the way.
This means that from now on, as long as Cao Zhiqiang's records are released through Huaxia Audio and Video Company, all the income will be 100% his own, and there will be no need to distribute money to Hongguang Machinery Factory.
In fact, Cao Zhiqiang originally wanted to change all other units in his hands, such as publishing houses and film studios, into private enterprises.
But later it was found that this was not possible. After all, these industries had many concerns and it was impossible to open them up to private operations for the time being.
Industries such as records, advertising, and video tapes can be temporarily opened up to private individuals. This is already a special concession. However, publishing houses and film studios are too involved and cannot be opened up yet. Otherwise, the problem will be huge. .
Since it doesn't work, Cao Zhiqiang won't force it.
In fact, being able to let him handle all the recording, advertising and video tape business as a private company is already very good so far, and we can't expect more.
In addition, there is another gain, which is that he agreed to exchange foreign exchange for Cao Zhiqiang.
Cao Zhiqiang's personal income is now very scary. Putting aside his expenses and counting miscellaneous things, he still has just over 3 million RMB.
This time, Cao Zhiqiang spent two million RMB and went through the normal process to exchange for one million US dollars of precious foreign exchange.
This money can be used by Cao Zhiqiang himself in Japan openly. Whether it is consumption or investment, it is clean money that Cao Zhiqiang can control at will and can withstand any investigation.
In this way, the next time Cao Zhiqiang goes to Japan, he can invest in Japan openly, open his personal office, and then start business in Japan.
After finishing all these official matters, Cao Zhiqiang had time to find Qinghong. After being gentle with Qinghong, he took Qinghong back to the courtyard.
Cao Zhiqiang did this for no other reason than to calm Wu Qinghong's heart first and settle the name on a small scale, so that Qinghong would always worry about this and that.
Bringing Qinghong back to the courtyard feels like a return home. It can completely calm Qinghong's heart, so that she doesn't have to think too much and can study with peace of mind in the future.
In addition, Cao Zhiqiang wanted to have a good meeting with his sister and have a good family reunion.
Because of this, he took Qinghong back to the courtyard.
Originally, when he returned to the courtyard this time, Cao Zhiqiang wanted to bring his two sisters, Cao Lili and Qiao Simei, but they went out to play with Xiang Dongfang and had not come back yet. They could not be contacted for the time being, so they had to give up temporarily. .
