Chapter Eighty-Four: Lack of Money
Before Mu Ran could speak, the little girl spoke first, "Shu Xiao, Baba is amazing, write songs for Ma Ma, and teach Niuniu to sing, Niuniu can sing a lot." ”
Mu Ran smiled and looked at the little girl who was running towards Xiao Jian with her little short legs, and smiled helplessly: "Yes, those songs were written by your brother, didn't I never receive the songs at that time, who knew that your brother directly wrote me a whole album of songs." ”
Xiao Jian grabbed the little girl who ran towards him, then took the little girl's little hand, and said, "My brother is so powerful, why haven't I found out?"
"Shu Baba is amazing, and she also teaches Niu Niu to draw and dance. ”
"Haha, yes, then Shu Huang will also teach you a fun game, okay?" Xiao Jian looked at the little girl standing beside him, squatted down and said with a smile.
"Okay, what does Shu Huang want to teach Niuniu?"
"Hmm......" Xiao Jian actually said that, if he really wanted him to teach the little girl what games to play, he really couldn't think of it for a while.
"Then Xiaojian, you can play with Niuniu here, and I'll also help your brother cook." Mu Ran watched Xiao Jian and the little girl play with a smile, and went into the kitchen after saying a word.
Xiao Jian only remembered one thing at this time, and said to himself very suspiciously: "When will my brother actually know how to cook? It's really strange, I feel like my brother has changed as if he has changed." ”
Xiao Yi didn't hear his brother's words, otherwise he would be scared to death, even if he tried his best to maintain the appearance of Xiao Yi in front of his younger brother, but the changes in his personality and spirit were still noticed by Xiao Jian. However, Xiao Jian didn't dig deeper, he just thought that his brother had lived alone in Yanjing in the past few years, and the changes that had slowly taken place were just that.
......
Soon the meal was ready, and at the dinner table, Xiao Jian didn't forget to say with a look of surprise while eating: "Brother, you can actually cook now?" And it's not unpalatable, I feel like you've changed a lot!"
The speaker was unintentional, listening intentionally, Xiao Yi heard his brother's words, and the hand in his hand that was about to feed the little girl couldn't help but tremble, and saw that Xiao Jian didn't ask on purpose, and breathed a sigh of relief, "Stinky boy, I can't stop your mouth when I eat, I haven't been home for five or six years, can there be no change?"
"Yes, hehe, but brother, I still think you are better now, it turns out that you are really ......" Xiao Jian said with a smile, and shook his head, as if he didn't know how to describe Xiao Yi's original appearance.
But there are three other people on the table who have a very strong heart for gossip.
"Xiao Jian, how is your brother? Why didn't you say it all of a sudden?" This time, it was not Sister Juan who spoke first, but Mu Ran asked curiously.
Xiao Yi immediately stopped: "Stinky boy, eat well, don't talk nonsense, be careful that I clean you up!" said and gave Xiao Jian a threatening look.
As a result, Mu Ran said: "What's the matter? Can't I ask Xiao Jian? You have to take care of this too?"
Xiao Yi immediately shook his head and said, "Yes, you can ask casually, ask casually." ”
"Hmph, this is about the same, Xiao Jian, you go on, don't be afraid of your brother!"
Xiao Jian saw his brother's appearance, looked at Mu Ran again, and seemed to understand something, no wonder his mother asked her to mention more when she said that she was going to come to Yanjing, so that's what happened. With a knowing smile on his face, Xiao Jian said: "My brother used to be like a spinning top, if you don't pump him, he will never move, and he won't make a sound, if you want to make a little movement, you have to take the initiative to talk to him, you can't say anything about your personality, you still want to be a star one day, and you fell out with my father!"
"Is Xiao Yi like this? Why haven't I found out about him since I met him? The whole thing is like a crow, no one needs to deal with him at all, he can talk to you for a long time!" Sister Juan said.
"Hey, I said Sister Juan, you gossip is gossip, you don't bring personal attacks, who is a crow?" Xiao Yi complained dissatisfiedly.
"I want you to take care of it!" "Eat your food!" Sister Juan glared at Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi pursed his lips, and Xiao Jian continued: "It may be that a person's personality has changed in Yanjing in the past few years, anyway, he has never taken the initiative to talk to people since he was a child, I remember that there would be a ...... when I was young."
Throughout the dinner time, in Xiao Yi's silence, Xiao Jian said a lot of interesting things about Xiao Yi when he was a child, which made Mu Ran and the three of them laugh from time to time, and even the little girl asked from time to time, and then giggled.
Especially when the little girl asked Shu Xiaobaba if she would wet the bed when she was a child, Xiao Jian didn't think about it and went back directly to say that when Xiao Yi was still wetting the bed at the age of four, the little girl was very happy, and her eyes narrowed with a smile, like a cute little kitten. Xiao Yi originally protested against Xiao Jian's nonsense, he was younger than himself, how could he know if he could wet the bed at the age of four, but Xiao Jian said that his mother told him, and if he didn't believe it, he would call his mother now, and Xiao Yi immediately had nothing to say.
Although Xiao Yi didn't speak, he thought in his heart, what's wrong with bedwetting at the age of four, is it normal for a four-year-old child to wet the bed? But thinking that the little girl is not yet three years old now, and she no longer wets the bed, Xiao Yi is deflated, there is really no harm if there is no comparison!
......
That night, Xiao Jian was arranged to sleep in the guest room, Mu Ran's villa is very large, and there are many rooms, so there will be no matter of letting guests sleep in the living room.
And the brothers didn't go to bed early, but after dinner, they chatted until more than one o'clock in the evening, chatting about the situation at home in the past few years, Xiao Yi's life in the past few years, and so on. also made Xiao Yi miss the familiar and unfamiliar home even more, his parents and grandmother at home, and the well-behaved sister in his memory......
Early the next morning, Xiao Jian was asked out by his classmate Dong Feng to go to the Great Wall to play together, originally Xiao Yi was going to see off his younger brother, but a phone call in the morning made Xiao Yi have his own arrangements today.
After Xiao Yi drove his younger brother to the place he had agreed with his classmates, he came to the headquarters building of Yiran Entertainment Media Company alone, but Xiao Yi did not go to the company above the eighth floor, but came directly to the sixth floor.
When I first rented this building, the upper eighth floor was used as the office area of Yiran Entertainment Media, and the lower eighth floor, including the eighth floor, was the office area of "Aigo". The call Xiao Yi received this morning was from Li Liping, the person in charge of "Aigo", who is also the daily person in charge of this "New Era E-commerce Company", so although Sister Juan and others come here to work every day, they also know that the company's neighbor is an e-commerce company, but they don't know that they are operating the "Aigo" network.
As soon as he walked into Li Liping's office, the other party immediately greeted him, "Oh, Xiao Dong, you are finally here!"
"Lao Liu, what makes you so anxious, you have to tell me face to face. After Xiao Yi sat down, he asked with a smile.
"Of course there is something important, yes, didn't you tell me about the company's next development plan before, that is, the establishment of our own express company, and now this matter is in trouble. Li Liping said with a sad face.
"What's the trouble?
"We don't have enough money!" Li Liping said.
"Not enough money? I remember last time you told me that our company has enough funds, how can it suddenly be insufficient?" Last time when Mu Ran was filming a TV series, Xiao Yi returned to Yanjing to meet with Li Liping and arrange the company's next development.
"Yes, I thought that the company's funds were enough for us to establish our own express channels, but when I actually went to do it, I found that the initial investment was too large, and our company's funds were simply not enough. Li Liping said with some embarrassment, after all, he had promised Xiao Yi that he would definitely be able to do it, but after only a month, he said that he had made a mistake and that the funds were not enough.
"That's right. Xiao Yi didn't blame Li Liping or what, but frowned and began to think, "Lao Liu, do you have any solution?"
For a while, Xiao Yi really couldn't think of anything easy to cook, and it was impossible to borrow money from Yiran Entertainment Media anymore, because they didn't have much money now, and they all invested in the company's newly established departments.
"Xiao Dong, there are only two ways now, one is to borrow from the bank, but it is impossible to borrow so much, after all, we are not an entity enterprise; the second is to continue financing, and there are two ways to do this, one is to go public, but with the current strength of our company has not yet met the requirements of listing, it will take at least half a year, and the second is to sell the company's shares, but ......" Li Liping said that he did not continue to say here, but looked at Xiao Yi with some embarrassment.
Xiao Yi knew what Li Liping meant, because if he wanted to sell the company's shares, Xiao Yi would definitely have to take the lead, but Xiao Yi had always told Li Liping that he would not accept anyone's request for capital injection.
Xiao Yi smiled and said, "When you say this, I think of something that can just solve our financial problem." ”
"What's the matter?"
"Two days ago, a friend of mine named Zhou Bin, who is also engaged in e-commerce, said that he was very optimistic about the development prospects of our company, and wanted to inject capital into our company, but our company had not agreed before, and now it is just right, let's accept his financing. Xiao Yi smiled and told Zhou Bin about injecting capital.
Li Liping looked at Xiao Yi with some doubts, "It's not Xiao Dong, haven't you always disagreed with other people's capital injections, why did you ...... this time?"
"Hehe, this time is different, on the one hand, because my friend has a very thick background, he joined our company, which is beneficial to our development and harmless, on the other hand, isn't it just to solve our financial problem? Moreover, in addition to the courier company, I hope you will immediately start to add takeaway and ride-hailing services on the website and mobile client after the Spring Festival. Xiao Yi explained the reason why he agreed to Zhou Bin's capital injection, and by the way, he talked about the company's future development direction.
"Is it the same online ordering and delivery service that you said before in conjunction with various merchants, as well as taxi-hailing and taxi-hailing services?"
"Yes, that's it, now we still have some competitors in this industry, and they have begun to learn our model of operation, which shares a lot of our business, so we must launch new services in order to attract more consumers to our website to consume. ”
"Okay, I know, I will come up with a plan and implement it as soon as possible, so when will your friend Dong Xiao be able to inject money in? Li Liping is also a little excited, every time he talks to Xiao Yi, he can find a new development point and direction.
Xiao Yi smiled and shook his head, "Lao Li, you are still so anxious. Don't worry, I'll call him in a while, but it's still what I said before, I can't disclose that I am the largest shareholder of the company, as for how much capital he injects and how many shares, then you discuss with Xiaopang and then go talk to my friend, I only have one request, I must own more than 50% of the shares!"
"Okay, I know, I really don't know what you think, others have such a big company with such good development potential, I wish everyone in the world would know about it, you are good, but you are like a thief, no one can know. Li Liping looked at it puzzled and said.
"What do you know, buddy, this is called low-key, do you understand, okay, the matter is clear, I'll withdraw first, there's something going on at home!" Xiao Yi stood up and prepared to leave.
Li Liping shook his head helplessly, "Really, I'm not a Longtan tiger's den here, every time I come, I only stay for a few minutes and leave, this is also your own company!"
"I'm relieved to have you!"
"Hmph, I think you're used to being a shopkeeper, listen to Xiaopang, you haven't taken care of the things upstairs!"
"Ahem, that, you're professionals, and I'm a layman who can't help you much. Xiao Yi smiled awkwardly.
"Whatever you want, whether you like to come or not, by the way, don't forget to call your friends. ”
"Okay, I know, I'll fight in a while, you stay, I'll go first." ”
"I'm not going to send you either!"
Xiao Yi waved his hand with a sneer and walked out of the office.
After returning to the car, Xiao Yi called Zhou Bin.
"Hey, Zhou Bin...... Well, got in touch...... Yes, you can contact us directly...... Remember, the other party is the boss of Aigo, and the phone number is 178****0000...... haha, this is what you said...... Okay, see for yourself...... You're welcome, I'm sure I'll need your help in the future, so you can help me as much as you can...... Okay, I'm driving, hang up...... Well, bye-bye!"
