Chapter 17: Uncle Wu Mingquan
The next day, after Zhao Yazhi went to work, Wu Cheng coded the manuscript at home for a while, and then picked up the costume sketch drawn last night, left a note, and went out to run errands.
The vast majority of clothing stores in Xiangjiang are still hand-sewn, because during this period, most of the clothing was still made to order in the sewing shop, unlike in later generations, where large and small clothing stores can be seen everywhere.
But even so, there are hundreds of large and small sewing shops in Xiangjiang.
Wu Cheng searched for several companies in a row, but he was not very satisfied, not that they couldn't make the clothes he drew on the drawings, but that they couldn't reach a consensus on cooperation with Wu Cheng.
Wu Cheng knows very well in his heart that as long as the action of leading the fashion trend is successful this time, then these styles of clothes can definitely be sold out of stock, and the consumption power of Xiangjiang people is still very strong.
And if Wu Cheng wants to make more money, he can't simply make two clothes. It's about taking precautions and making good preparations. Take advantage of this opportunity to lead the fashion trend and take the opportunity to make a fortune. It's not impossible to even start a clothing brand.
It's a pity that his age is really unbelievable. Some people didn't even have a chance to let him speak, so they refused directly, looking like they didn't do it.
From going out at nine o'clock in the morning to shopping until noon, Wu Cheng changed from full of confidence before to weak and listless now.
Thinking that he would see his uncle in the afternoon, he took a taxi directly and went to the City Entertainment Newspaper.
I had made an appointment to see him in the afternoon, but when I came to the newspaper office, I found that my cousin was already there.
Uncle Wu Mingquan is not much older than his grandfather, this kind of thing was not a strange thing before, and some of them were even born as characters of the grandfather's generation.
White-haired, not tall, slightly rickety back, deep wrinkles on the face, and the spirit does not look very good, it is estimated that it is the cause of illness some time ago, or the Wu family's trouble. In short, to Wu Cheng, there is a feeling that he is about to die, as if he is in his last years.
However, Wu Cheng could still see that the uncle in front of him was the uncle he had seen when he was young when he was in his hometown. Of course, look at the photos.
"You're the cub of Mingzhong's kid's family?"
Uncle Cousin's words made the corners of Wu Cheng's mouth twitch, sure enough, they are the same style as his grandfather and father! Sure enough, they are not a family, they don't enter a family, and even the way they speak is almost the same.
"Yes uncle, I am Wu Zhicheng, now my name is Wu Cheng!"
"When did you come to Hong Kong? Why did you find Shulan and not come to see me, an old man?"
Wu Cheng glanced at Wu Shulan, and Wu Shulan secretly rolled her eyes. Wu Cheng understands that this is an old man who is losing his temper, and he really feels like an old child!
"Uncle, don't blame, isn't my nephew taking a fancy to a woman and anxious to find a niece and daughter-in-law for your old man!" Wu Cheng grinned and said shamelessly.
As a result, Wu Shulan's eyes widened when she heard this, but when Wu Mingquan heard this, she couldn't help laughing, stretched out her hand and nodded a few times, and scolded with a smile: "Sure enough, you have a virtue with your father and your grandfather, dare to fight, but you don't have a face or skin!"
"Thank you, uncle, for the compliment!" Wu Chengshun climbed up the pole.
In fact, if he didn't know Wu Mingquan's character, he wouldn't have spoken in such a way.
Wu Mingquan nodded, sighed at the end, and said: "I know everything about you, your grandfather left early, and I have been prepared in my heart, after all, I was seriously injured on the battlefield." It's just that I didn't expect that your father and your mother also left so early, speaking of which, I haven't met your mother, but I heard your father say in the letter that you look a little similar to your mother...... That's right, just like your dad, how can you give birth to such a handsome and clever little guy as you. ”
After a pause, he said again: "That Miss Zhao, I also sent someone to check, but she is also a white family, and her personality is not bad, but she is much older than you......"
"Uncle, this kind of thing, let me make my own decisions!"
When Wu Cheng heard this, he quickly stopped his uncle's words, he didn't want to be swayed by his relatives, even if he was his elder.
Wu Mingquan nodded, and finally sighed: "I didn't expect that you little guy is so precocious! And your head is also good, it's hard to imagine that the current newspaper office is the result of your kid's planning and guidance, you are very good, much better than your father who only knows how to practice martial arts!"
Wu Cheng smiled with a smile on his face, feeling that his uncle was a little unenergetic, so he walked behind him, gently pinched him on the shoulder, and said: "Uncle don't worry about me! I will take care of myself, and besides, Sister Zhi will take care of me! But uncle, when you are old, don't worry so much, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, if you have this big tree that has been covering them, then how can they go through the wind and rain? If they don't experience the wind and rain, how can they see the rainbow!"
Wu Mingquan laughed when he heard this: "Old man, at my age, I really lived in vain, and I can't see it as a kid like you." Okay, well, tomorrow the old man will go to the old age, let them toss as they want! Now the toss is scattered, it is better than tossing and dying after I am gone!"
"Grandpa!" Wu Shulan screamed in disgust, and finally glared at Wu Cheng, blaming him for talking nonsense.
Wu Cheng chuckled lightly and said seriously: "In fact, the current situation of the Wu family is not impossible to solve, it depends on whether the uncle has such courage!"
"Oh, do you have a way, talk about it!" Wu Mingquan became interested.
"Uncle, I'm hungry, why don't we talk while eating?"
"Xiaolan, go and order some food, let's eat here!" Wu Mingquan commanded.
After Wu Shulan went out, Wu Mingquan smiled and said, "You little guy, why do you want to break Xiaolan away?
"Uncle misunderstood, I was really a little hungry, I originally wanted to come to Alain here for a meal, but I didn't expect my uncle to come over so early. But I'm also very happy to have a meal with my uncle!" Wu Cheng smiled and said: "As for the Wu family's current problems, in my opinion, they are actually not big problems, and these problems are all sued by Alain!"
Wu Mingquan sighed: "My current sons are very mediocre in ability, and they can't even compare to Xiaolan, but they are all quite high-spirited, and they are typical of having low eyes and masters. Seeing that I didn't have much to live, they stared at the little property one by one, which was really ......"
Wu Mingquan said, he couldn't help but sigh and shake his head, the feeling that there is no successor is not understood by outsiders.
"If this is placed in the mainland, it will be a typical family split!" Wu Cheng said with a smile.
"Yes, when I grow up, I feel that my wings are stiff!"
"If they want to divide the family, then let them divide it!" Wu Cheng smiled and said: "Don't worry, uncle, the division I am talking about is not really dividing the assets of the Wu family, but integrating the assets of the Wu family, and then dividing the shares for them...... Of course, they do not have the right to buy and sell these shares, but can only enjoy the right to dividends. As for management, it is completely possible to find a professional manager to act as an agent, which is already very popular in foreign countries, and it is not a big deal. ”
"I haven't thought about asking an agent to manage this method, but I'm worried that if I accidentally invite a white-eyed wolf, won't the Wu family be eaten to the point that there are no bones left?" Wu Mingquan said worriedly: "But the idea of asset integration and only giving dividends is good!"
"Uncle, don't worry, isn't there Alain, as well as Ah Wen, Ah Wu!" Wu Cheng smiled: "Although Alan is a woman, sooner or later she will have to marry." But how to say it, she is also a member of the Wu family, how could she be indifferent to watching the Wu family being taken away by others. I heard Alan say that Awen Awu and they are not bad, but with their current qualifications, they are not enough to deter their fathers, and over time, they will definitely be able to support the Wu family. ”
"I think it will be more reliable with you!" Wu Mingquan said with a smile: "Xiaolan told me before that you are only twelve years old, and you can write novels and plan revisions for the newspaper, I still can't believe it." But now, I believe it!"
After a pause, Wu Mingquan said again: "If you don't take over, you will take over the Wu family! In this way, I can also walk with peace of mind, so that I will not die blindly!"
Wu Cheng smiled and said: "Uncle is joking, you still have a hundred years to live! Besides, I am only twelve years old! I can't deter my cousins." ”
"People are twelve in Ganluo, managing a country, and you are also twelve, what is it to manage a company?"
Wu Cheng shook his head and said with a smile: "Uncle, don't embarrass me." First, I don't want the Wu family to become more chaotic because of my intervention, and even regard me as an enemy; second, I don't want to do this, I plan to go into the entertainment industry, in my opinion, in the next one or two decades, the entertainment industry will definitely be extremely prosperous, I want to take advantage of the present to get involved; third, I have to give Awen Awu a stage for them to grow, let them go through some ups and downs, and they will be of great use in the future!"
"Uncle has your grandson, Mingzhong has your son, they can also be blind under the nine springs!"
For a long time, Wu Mingquan said with a sigh.
Wu Cheng smiled and didn't say anything more, just summoned the qi in his body, and slowly smoothed out his uncle's old body, making him feel better.
When Wu Shulan came back with food, he saw his grandfather lying on the sofa, and Wu Cheng's hands were gently rubbing on him, and when he saw Wu Shulan coming in, Wu Cheng whispered: "Light, my uncle is asleep, I am grooming his body and letting him sleep a little longer." ”
"Little uncle, do you still know this? Is it qigong?" Wu Shulan asked in surprise.
"I learned from your uncle since I was a child, so I know a little bit. Wu Cheng nodded and said, "Uncle's health is very poor, so I usually have to pay more attention to rest and recuperate." Go back and tell your dad about them, if you still want your uncle to live a few more years, then don't make any more trouble!"
"Well, I will!"
