Chapter 939 - You Can Get a Good Night's Sleep
"Hey, I thought you were still sleeping, but you're all up. When Hu Mingchen came down from upstairs and went to the living room, he saw Pan Yuezheng taking Jiang Xiaobai and several of their company employees to help their mother Jiang Yucai make breakfast.
Just as Hu Mingchen walked to the dining table, Pan Yue, who was wearing an apron, came out of the kitchen with a plate, on which were several bowls of meat porridge sprinkled with green onions and fragrant.
Hu Mingchen's habit of getting up early every day to exercise is still maintained, but now he doesn't need to run the path to the street, but runs up and down the cement road at the door, and then goes home to the gym inside to exercise with various equipment, and then takes a shower to get rid of the smell of sweat before going downstairs.
Many of the people who came to eat and drink yesterday went back after dinner, such as Zhang Weidong, Song Qiaoshan, Wang Zhan and Jia Ke. Zhang Weidong and Song Qiaoshan are busy with official business, and Wang Zhan and Jia Ke feel that there is no need to stay and cause trouble.
Not to mention relatives and friends who are close to each other, they usually have no intention of staying in the main house, whether it is a red affair or a white affair, and they have to go back no matter how late they are, anyway, they are not far apart.
However, there are also some people who have not returned to stay and stay, including some elders in the older grades. It's just that no matter how many rooms Hu Jianqiang's house has, it is impossible to accommodate so many people, so some of them were arranged to come to Hu Mingchen's house.
For example, when the conditions were not good in the past, if any family held a banquet, the neighbors next door had to help vacate some beds to entertain people. Now that Hu Mingchen's house and Hu Jianqiang's house are many times larger, naturally there is no need to bother other other people's families.
Hu Mingchen's family basically lives in company employees who don't go back, such as Pan Yue, Jiang Xiaobai and Fang Guoping, including Luo Haocai, Chen Xuesheng and Ma Jiahao, who also live in Hu Mingchen's house.
There are many rooms in Fangzheng's house, and Hu Yandie is not at home.
"Mr. Hu, are you up? Breakfast will be ready immediately, and you will be able to eat it in a while. Pan Yue said to Hu Mingchen with a smile.
Pan Yue is the administrative manager of the company, and she usually has the image of a strong woman office worker in the company, but she didn't expect that people are also good at the kitchen.
Just when Hu Mingchen and Pan Yue were greeting, Jiang Xiaobai, Liu Li and other women from several companies also came out with some early food.
When I saw Hu Mingchen, I greeted Hu Mingchen with a smile on my face.
They don't care if they usually do it at home or not, but when they arrive at Hu Mingchen's house, it is impossible to really treat themselves as guests.
Although they are here to have a wedding wine or send off their relatives to the third aunt Zhou Yuxian, they also have an identity, that is, they are employees of Xingsheng Company, and Hu Mingchen is the master of the company.
If you really wait for the meal to open your mouth, then don't mess around in the company in the future.
"Well, good, good, good. Hu Mingchen nodded with satisfaction, then walked to the kitchen door and saw Jiang Yucai still cooking soup, "Mom, in fact, you don't have to cook too much, we all have to leave today, and we can't eat too much and waste it." ”
"You kid, there are so many guests in the house, where will there be more, not to mention a few big bosses, don't let people think that our family is shabby and stingy. By the way, are they up? Ten minutes or so on my side. Jiang Yucai sneered at Hu Mingchen and said, "Fortunately, these beautiful girls help me, otherwise I wouldn't be busy." ”
"Auntie, what we should do, follow you, you can still learn the craft. Liu Li and the others hurriedly said with a smile.
The kitchen of Hu Mingchen's house is very large, about 30 square meters, and five or six people are busy working in it, so they don't feel crowded at all.
"Then I'll go and see if they're up. Hu Mingchen shrunk his neck and left the kitchen door.
In the past, Jiang Yucai didn't have much cooking skills, and the food he cooked could only be said to be barely good. However, in the past year or two, my cooking skills have improved a lot, and I know how to cook more and more dishes.
She doesn't have to work now, not only does she not farm at home, but she also doesn't feed the livestock, so she has more leisure time. Secondly, every time Hu Mingchen goes home, he has to bring some things back, even if she doesn't come, Wang Zhan will arrange for the supermarket market to send some freshly listed ingredients over. In order not to waste, Jiang Yucai can only learn to do it.
There are some things that I haven't seen and can't do, so when Hu Yujiao comes back on the weekend, I will ask her to find some learning videos on the Internet to learn to do it.
Anyway, after coming and going, the cooking skills have gradually improved.
Of course, Jiang Yucai is so "motivated", and she also has a purpose to show off.
Those relatives or neighbors and friends who come to the house, Jiang Yucai likes to stay with others for dinner, and then at the dinner table, he will introduce what he eats, how expensive and how good, and Hu Mingchen will definitely not be missed.
Anyway, when she heard others praise her family for being good, and hearing others praise Hu Mingchen for his ability and filial piety, Jiang Yucai felt like she had eaten honey.
I don't know if it's the people who were looked down upon before, when their own family has changed dramatically, they like to show off, anyway, Jiang Yucai, who is currently idle, has become a big hobby of her. If others praise it once, her vanity will be satisfied once.
Hu Mingchen turned around and walked to the staircase, where he saw Ma Jiahao and the three of them chatting and walking down.
"Mr. Ma, Uncle Luo, Uncle Chen, you guys are also up, how about you rest last night?" Hu Mingchen asked with a smile while standing at the top of the stairs.
"Good, good, it's been a long time since I've slept so soundly. Mr. Hu, your house is quiet here, the air is good, and you can look at the majestic distant mountains when you push the window in the morning. Ma Jiahao said energetically.
Ma Jiahao was able to sleep peacefully last night, and the main reason was not to escape the hustle and bustle of the big city, nor to think that if he didn't go to work today, he could temporarily relieve the heavy work pressure.
The fact that he was able to sleep well was related to the conversation with Hu Mingchen in the small living room upstairs after returning from Hu Jian's house yesterday.
Ma Jiahao came all the way this time to congratulate Hu Jianqiang on his new marriage, on the one hand, on the other hand, he still wanted to come and communicate with Hu Mingchen.
Hu Mingchen opposed them to do e-commerce before, but Ma Jiahao didn't listen to persuasion and stubbornly made a patpai.com.
At that time, not only Ma Jiahao was full of confidence, but Penguin Technology was also full of energy, they did not believe Hu Mingchen's judgment, and felt that they could grasp the market well, so as to open up another development path, so that Penguin Technology could reach another peak.
However, imagination is good, reality is another.
In order to do a good job in Paipai.com, not only did Luo Ming go to the town in person, but also brought a large number of people from the company, and Penguin Technology also spent a lot of money and resources. In order to prove his correctness and Hu Mingchen's blindness, Ma Jiahao paid great attention to this project, and it can be said that he himself was actually involved in it.
After such a period of time, the market is very cruel, under the sniping of Aniu Company and the melee of other e-commerce companies, Paipai.com not only did not grow as quickly as Ma Jiahao and they expected, but there was a sharp business decline and losses later.
Of course, the development momentum in the first three months is indeed okay, there is a sense of freshness, and the resources invested are also intensive. Although Ma Jiahao told Hu Mingchen that he would control the investment amount, after the project was actually launched, the investment amount was not only not reduced, but also increased.
After three months, there is a significant decline in the return on investment, in other words, the resources and funds invested are no longer equal to the previous benefits.
After a two-month pause, the business began to decline sharply, with more and more dead customers, and the losses of projects that were not profitable became larger and larger.
Just like Hu Mingchen said in advance, the cost of Paipai.com is not just a separate matter, he will have a great impact and impact on Penguin Technology.
Penguin Technology is now a listed company, and it not only has to publish extreme reports to the outside world, but also to provide detailed annual reports to the stock exchange.
Paipai is a wholly-owned enterprise of Penguin Technology, and under its drag, the annual report of Penguin Technology at the beginning of this year is very unsightly, which makes investors' confidence in Penguin Technology shaken, and the stock market has been in decline and turmoil for more than a month.
The decline and volatility of the stock market have made some company shareholders very unhappy, and correspondingly, Ma Jiahao has been under great pressure.
You must know that Ma Jiahao not only does not hold more than half of the shares, but is not the largest shareholder of the company, he can be the chairman of the board of directors and CEO, mainly because he is the founder of the company, but also because of the benefits created for shareholders in the past.
Some time ago, a shareholder privately proposed that Ma Jiahao would be replaced at the new shareholders' meeting.
This kind of thing where the founder is kicked out of the company is not uncommon in shopping malls. Many people work hard to establish a business, but they have nothing to do with it. Some people were not only driven away, but their share was also eaten cleanly.
Although this voice is not loud, it is a bad sign for Ma Jiahao, and he doesn't want the company he was fortunate to have built to be taken away like this. If you don't rush to stop the loss now, and really wait until the shareholders' meeting is held, once a wave is formed, it will be too late.
Therefore, Ma Jiahao felt that he needed to communicate with the company's largest shareholder, and the key was that the major shareholder was still the person who opposed the project in the first place.
If Xingsheng Company votes in favor at the shareholders' meeting, Ma Jiahao's position is basically not guaranteed.
Don't look at the usual Ma Jiahao and Hu Mingchen have a good relationship, but Ma Jiahao also knows in his heart that he did not follow Hu Mingchen's advice, he has ideas in his heart, and he is also unhappy. What's more, in business, all relationships are nothing in front of interests. As long as Hu Mingchen supports it, they can support an obedient person to take charge of the company.
However, after having an in-depth chat with Hu Mingchen last night, Ma Jiahao took a reassuring pill.
During the whole chat process, Ma Jiahao summed it up in one sentence: you can rest assured, I have supported you in the past, and I will continue to firmly support you in the future. As for the twists and turns in investment and operation, it is nothing at all.
Because of this information conveyed by Hu Mingchen, Ma Jiahao can finally sleep with peace of mind.
