Chapter 190
With Xiang Hui's calculating nature, he really has the ability to turn stone into gold. These five companies actually belong to the category of leather bag companies. The five golden flowers of Longyue Company all have good abilities and good academic qualifications. The last one they graduated from was a bachelor's degree in 1985, and they even have two master's degrees. If they want to find a job, they can easily find a good job. company of.
According to the recruitment standards of Hansteel Group, all five of them are qualified.
However, Wu Duo Jinhua did not choose a big company or a good company, but entered Xiang Hui's leather bag company. This is Xiang Hui's shrewdness. When she manages the company, she is obviously different from other companies.
The first is freedom and relaxation.
Some people complain on the Internet that the fertility rate is low and young people are unwilling to have children. In the final analysis, it is actually a lack of money.
Everyone knows that raising children is expensive.
As the saying goes, if you have money, you can spend it. If you don’t have money, you can spend less or less. To be fair, the cost of raising children is not the real reason why Chinese people don’t want to have children.
The real reason why I don’t want to have children is that the most embarrassing thing is the child’s education.
Take kindergarten as an example. Getting to kindergarten before 7:50 in the morning is not a big problem, as long as you are a working-class person, you can still do it.
But the problem is that kindergarten ends at 11:10 in the morning and 4:50 in the afternoon. This means that the work schedule of the working class conflicts with the school time. No company will get off work before 4:50 in the afternoon. , usually at 5:30 or 6 o'clock, and you can't take your children to school when you go to work, which becomes a big problem.
The country has also delayed retirement, which means that young people have to have children before the age of thirty-five, and there are no old people who can take their children to school. The same is true for Cheng Shijie. At the beginning, his father Cheng Weiguo did not retire, and his mother was in poor health, so he could only feel aggrieved. Xiang Hui asked Xiang Hui to leave her job and take care of the children at home.
If it is only three years of kindergarten, it will pass if you endure it for a while, but the problem is that throughout the nine-year compulsory education period, the child's schooling period conflicts with working hours. Unless you are a teacher, you can go to work and take care of your child at the same time. No other company or unit can fix the problem of children's schooling.
Even civil servants have no choice. Time is the biggest problem for children going to school. Unless it is a private educational institution, the problem is that the tuition fees of private educational institutions are very expensive. The cost of a child's education for one year is basically 30,000 to 40,000 yuan or more.
Xiang Hui not only gave Wuduo Jinhua flexible working hours, but also rented a small dilapidated courtyard about 600 to 700 meters away from Longyue Recycling Resources, the waste collection station, for 34,800 yuan per year. This small dilapidated courtyard was originally the warehouse of the Hanhai City Non-staple Food Factory.
Since this place is far from the outskirts of the city, with the Third Ring Road to the south, the city water plant to the north, and an overpass, it has no commercial development value and the cost of relocation is too high. The key is whether the yard is big or small, about With an area of more than 2,000 square meters, it is obviously too small to build a commercial property, and there are no customers around it.
As a result, the courtyard fell into dilapidation. The building area was about 1,600,700 square meters, and the courtyard area was about 6,700 square meters.
This is an old-fashioned bungalow structure. The houses were built around 1996. Some of the houses have begun to leak. They were previously rented to nearby construction workers and the conditions were very poor.
After Xiang Hui rented it, he carried out large-scale repairs on the small courtyard. First of all, the roof of the house was repaired and it would definitely no longer leak. After the renovation, the yard had a completely new look.
Xiang Hui used this place as the office location of Longyue Company. This office location was actually used to take care of her children. She also hired a professional driver and purchased a commercial vehicle.
The driver's regular job is to take the children to and from school.
This small courtyard has also been renovated by Xiang Hui. A lawn has been planted in the courtyard, a slide has been installed, a small carousel, and an inflatable castle. It is not only the children of Cheng Jiayue and Five Golden Flowers, but also children like Qiao Shuyuan. Children, including children of Longyue Catering employees, can play inside for free.
The yard is not small to begin with. Long Yue's office only has ten rooms. Each company has two independent offices, about fifty or sixty square meters. Xiang Hui also has two, and there are more than a dozen other rooms, which are also used. Before it was finished, we built a small canteen, a small library, and a temporary dormitory.
Xiang Hui mainly grasped the weakness of the five golden flowers. They just hope to give their children a healthy growing environment. How good it is now. Although they live in different places, they started to pick up Duan Mingyu's house who lived farthest away, and then Song Shuangshuang, Jiang Linli, finally picked up Cheng Jiayue.
Some of them are sent to municipal kindergartens and some to primary schools. When the children are out of school, they are first taken to the headquarters of Longyue Company. When it is time to eat, do homework and play.
After finishing their work, they each took their children and returned to their respective homes.
It wasn't until Cheng Shijie came to this brand-new courtyard that Cheng Shijie realized how much Xiang Hui had spent to retain talents.
The reading room for a dozen children covers hundreds of square meters. The original small windows have been changed to floor-to-ceiling windows, using glass and curtains. There is also a layer of screen outside the windows. The reading room is not only paved with wooden floors. , all the table corners are oval, so students don’t have to worry about bumps or bruises in the reading room.
In the corner near the door, there are several chairs and a coffee table, where the children can rest and drink water. There are several rows of long tables and chairs in the center of the library, which are large enough for thirty or forty people to use at the same time. They are placed against the wall. It is a circle of bookshelves, and the books on it are not yet full. There are only a few thousand books. The remaining space is randomly placed with some green plants and decorative ornaments.
In fact, the scrap collection station receives a lot of used books. Let alone this reading room of more than 100 square meters, even if it is three times larger, it can easily be filled. The difficulty is that many of these used books are not suitable for Children read. You can't just give books like "Jin Ping Mei" and "Xun Qin Ji" to children just to show off, right?
Cheng Shijie flipped through it casually. These used books had been disinfected and wiped very clean. There were no stains or smeared things.
As the saying goes, you can tell the whole story by looking at one spot. From the small reading room, you can see how much thought Xiang Hui put into it.
In addition to hardware and software facilities, Xiang Hui also hired a tutor for these children. This teacher was sued by the parents for "insulting" the children, and the school fired him to avoid trouble.
An unemployed teacher is actually a good teacher. In fact, the teaching industry is like a rat's excrement that ruins a good pot of soup. Good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles. In the Internet age, small mistakes will be infinitely magnified, ultimately affecting the overall image of the teaching team.
As someone who has experienced it, Cheng Shijie naturally understands that reading is a very painful thing. He wants his children to learn consciously. Such children have so little beef that they need to use a magnifying glass to see it. .
The teacher’s surname is Feng, Feng Qingxiang. He is over 50 years old. He has been teaching for most of his life. Apart from teaching, he has no other life. At first, he applied for a job as a waiter at Longyue Catering to make a living. After learning about Feng Qingxiang's experience, Xiang Hui transferred Feng Qingxiang's position to the warehouse manager at Longyue Company headquarters, that is, the manager of the reading room. His income was higher than before, and he taught only a dozen students. It is considered a non-profit cram school.
Under Xiang Hui's management, the working atmosphere of Longyue Company is good and the business volume has increased a lot. Longyue Catering has also acquired three convenience canteens and five kindergarten canteens on Yongxing Street, achieving a daily turnover of six.
The biggest expansion of Longyue Catering was the acquisition of the Hanhai City Hotel with a transfer fee of 1.28 million. This is the memory of three generations of people in Hanhai City. From the 1980s, when the policy was just relaxed, this was It is the first private hotel in the city. However, the Hanhai Hotel is currently under renovation and not yet open for business. It also bids farewell to the history of Longyue Catering without a large hotel.
Xiang Hui, who is both good and fun-loving, lies on the bed pretending to be a dead fish.
"Shijie, I want to discuss something with you!"
"Tell me what's going on!"
"Stop doing that job of yours!"
Xiang Hui smiled disapprovingly and said: "Our family is not short of your eighty-eight thousand yuan income now. You often travel on business and run around, and the children miss you..."
"My child misses me, or you miss me!"
"Virtue!"
Xiang Hui punched Cheng Shijie hard: "Seriously!"
"I've always been serious!"
"Besides, I'll fight you!"
"That's what you said!"
Five thousand words are omitted here.
Cheng Shijie did not agree to Xiang Hui's proposal. Xiang Hui wanted Cheng Shijie to resign. Resigning was easy. But the problem was, without the shield of work, how could Cheng Shijie explain to Xiang Hui what happened during his time in the Ming Dynasty?
As Cheng Shijie's property in the Ming Dynasty grew larger and larger, the people who followed him to eat were not the army of women under Xiang Hui's command, but hundreds of thousands of people.
The Dutch East India Company was the largest company in the time and space of the Ming Dynasty. It owned more than 150 armed merchant ships of 1,000 tons or more, more than 50,000 employees, 40 battleships of level 3 or above, and 4,700 Eighty-nine guns of twelve pounds or more.
The Dutch East India Company was actually a country under the banner of a company. It had independent diplomatic powers, could conclude alliances with other countries, exercise jurisdiction over the area, have the power to initiate wars, issue currency, mint currency, establish colonies, etc. right.
Of course, this was a country that used invasion and colonization as a means of expansion and profit, and it was more powerful than more than 90% of the countries in the world at that time.
However, after Cheng Shijie appeared, for now, the world's richest company has changed hands. It has actually become Cheng Shijie's Ninghai Group. Compared with the Dutch East Indies, the Ninghai Group has stronger military strength and industrial production capabilities. Of course, the navy is currently the only shortcoming of the Ninghai Navy.
Ning Haijun now actually controls most of Liyioning Province and part of Heilongjiang. In addition, it can also influence Dengzhou, Shandong and the Korean Peninsula.
Ninghai Group now owns 1,372 farming offices, 650 engineering offices, 19 iron mines, three cement plants, thousands of large and small factories, and There are more than 45,000 war horses or more than 100,000 draft horses, mules, donkeys, oxen and other livestock.
Of course, the most important thing is that the Ninghai Group's greatest confidence is that it has hundreds of thousands of troops. More than two-thirds of these troops are elite veterans. Under the guidance of Cheng Shijie, they can fight in all directions and expand unscrupulously.
However, at this stage, Cheng Shijie's focus is to consolidate the fruits of victory that he finally won. This is very important. Not just a small vice president of Longyue Company can satisfy Cheng Shijie's appetite.
At this time, Xiang Hui was like a proud queen, leading her husband to patrol Longyue Company, her territory.
Although Xiang Hui was very proud, she was actually showing off her mistake.
Ordinary employees of Longyue Company don't have many opportunities to see Cheng Shijie, and some employees even don't know of Cheng Shijie's existence. However, the Five Golden Flowers know very well that Longyue Company has grown from nothing to its present development.
Xiang Hui thought that she had achieved today's gratifying results by relying on her own efforts. In fact, Jiang Linli, who is responsible for managing Longyue Catering, is very clear that the projects negotiated by Longyue Catering include, in addition to Hanhai Hotel, community canteens, School canteens, these businesses are not just about good hygiene and up to standard management.
Everyone understands that a certain king even said that he started from scratch. In fact, this is not the case. He is an out-and-out "red second generation" with a much higher starting point than ordinary people.
Jiang Linli knew that Xiang Hui was doing the job, and Cheng Shijie was the one with the connections and channels. Although Cheng Shijie was in charge of everything, without him, there would be no Long Yue. The initial capital of Longyue Company is actually not much. The registered capital of the five companies is only 500,000 yuan. Not to mention the whole country, there are many people in Hanhai City who can come up with 500,000 yuan. But why can't so many people do it? Long Yue's current step?
This is the core of the problem.
As the saying goes, a ridge appears from the side and a peak appears from the side. Jiang Linli's feelings for Cheng Shijie are unfathomable.
However, for Cai Mengdi, who has single-handedly created several Internet celebrities with Longyue Network Technology, Cheng Shijie has a special leadership temperament. People from various cultural and tourism bureaus have gone out to fight, but none of them can match the handsomeness of Bureau Liu. If When Cheng Shijie puts on ancient costumes, he will definitely catch people's attention. With his calm and self-confident look, he can definitely kill 99% of the so-called movie kings in an instant.
Cai Mengdi is a person who does whatever she wants. When she saw Cheng Shijie, she pulled Xiang Hui and said, "Mr. Xiang, let's discuss something!"
"What's up?"
"Lend me your husband!"
"What?"
Xiang Hui became wary: "What do you want to do?"
"You are thinking too much, I want him to become an Internet celebrity!"
Cai Mengdi laughed and said: "If he appears on the scene, he will definitely be more handsome than Zhu Di played by Feng Shaofeng. There is simply no comparison!"
Xiang Hui pointed at Cheng Shijie: "Where is he? Tell him. If he agrees, I will lend you my husband!"
Cai Mengdi said: "Don't provoke me, I'll go right now!"
"Go!"
"I'm going!"
Cai Mengdi said it easily, but did not move.
"What's wrong?"
Cai Mengdi smiled bitterly and said: "I don't dare, his eyes are too sharp, as if his eyes can kill!"
Xiang Hui shook his head: "Why can't I feel it?"
"you……"
Cai Mengdi was speechless.
Cheng Shijie will definitely not agree to appear on the scene and become an Internet celebrity.
He went out of Longyue Catering and ordered some mutton skewers and beef. Of course, there was no so-called Wagyu, just ordinary beef. Cheng Shijie grilled meat in the oven, which made Cheng Jiayue very happy.
Cheng Jiayue nestled in Cheng Shijie's arms, eating mutton skewers, her mouth full of oil.
Watching Cheng Jialong's crazy output against the sandbag.
Guarding your wife and children, this is life.
The happy days were short-lived. Cheng Shijie stayed in the later world for three days. Three days later, he returned to the time and space of the late Ming Dynasty. In this time and space, the storm was about to come and the building was full of wind and rain.
Cheng Shijie wanted to see how Emperor Chongzhen dealt with him. After all, Jiannu had been crippled, and there was no chance he would rise again within three to five years. Even if Huang Taiji wanted to replenish the Eight Banners by capturing Haixi Jurchens, Niu Lu, that also takes time.
The so-called "Girls" are actually ethnic minorities living among the white mountains and black waters at this time. The living conditions of these people are particularly difficult. Because they obtain their main food through fishing and hunting, they are physically strong. Those who eat meat are stronger than those who eat grass in the same weight class. It's a natural law.
The Jurchens cannot understand Jurchens at all, nor can they understand Mongolian. Their language may only be understood by dozens or hundreds of people in their own tribe, and this may also be a simple guess.
The purpose of establishing slaves to hunt down girls is to expand the population and increase the number of soldiers. Although these young and middle-aged men do not understand the language, they are all strong and natural hunters. If they are given armor and weapons to fight one on one, even the slaves of Jiannu Bagala will not dare to take the blame. Can win. Is Jiannu stupid? It is obviously the easiest to capture Han people, but why do you choose to travel thousands of miles to find a virgin among the white mountains and black waters? That's because once a girl is truly tamed, her loyalty is impeccable and her fighting power is unparalleled.
The most important thing is the process of taming. This process is like boiling an eagle. It takes up to two to three years or even longer, and requires repeated trials. Just like taming an animal, in the case of language barriers, the only way to tame an eagle is through fighting. , so that these girls can really form a conditioned reflex.
Just like a veteran, after walking, sitting and lying for a long time, even if he retires, he will maintain his military habits. After two years of demobilization from the compulsory army, you can immediately express yourself after returning home. You can be a veteran of ten or eight years. Military habits are not easy to disappear.
In this case, Huang Taiji wanted to make up for the missing Niu Lu of the Eight Banners. When there were enough girls, it would be difficult to do it in less than five years.
This means that Cheng Shijie is of little use to the Ming Emperor, just like Qi Jiguang who has destroyed Mongolia.
If Emperor Chongzhen wanted to take the opportunity to cause trouble, Queen Zhang's disappearance would be the best excuse.
As the saying goes, when the birds are gone, the good bow is hidden; when the cunning rabbit dies, the lackeys are cooked.
What should we do with Cheng Shijie, who is obviously of no use anymore?
Cheng Shijie was not sure. If Emperor Chongzhen would not tolerate him, he would definitely not sit back and wait to die.
Emperor Chongzhen learned that Queen Zhang Yan was missing before the morning court, so he even stopped the morning court and asked all officials to go back and do what they were supposed to do. Afterwards, Emperor Chongzhen ordered all Jinyiwei and Dongchang to go out to find Queen Zhang.
Emperor Chongzhen certainly did not believe that Cheng Shijie would be harmful to Empress Zhang. If Cheng Shijie was greedy for money, Emperor Chongzhen believed it. If Cheng Shijie was lustful, few people in the world believed this.
In fact, except for a few people, Cheng Shijie is considered to be the best man in the Ming Dynasty. Although he also has concubines around him, many of his concubines are completely naked.
Fortunately, the problem is that after investigation, it was found that Queen Zhang and her party did not leave the inner city. This is a good thing, indicating that they are still in the capital.
"Check, even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, you still have to find Queen Zhang!"
Emperor Chongzhen's first reaction was to find someone first, and then talk about other things.
As for Jin Yiwei's so-called evidence, in the opinion of Emperor Chongzhen, his attitude of throwing dirt on Cheng Shijie was too obvious. It was as if there was no three hundred taels of silver in this place.
You must not let others lead you by the nose.
Zhang Yan never expected that her biological brother would be so bold as to drug herself. When Zhang Yan woke up, she found herself in the Xiang Guest Room of Miaoying Temple, which was an independent two-story wooden attic with a large area. Big, bright windows, clean and complete facilities.
When Zhang Yan woke up, she realized that people were already looking for her outside.
"what happened?"
Zhang Jin knelt in front of Zhang Yan: "Sister, you must help me!"
"How can I help you?"
Zhang Yan was so angry that she kicked Zhang Jin in the face: "You've leaked the truth!"
Zhang Jin hugged Zhang Yan's legs: "Sister, if you don't help me, I'm dead. They won't let me go!"
