Chapter 42: Smuggling

At ten o'clock in the morning, Li Ran finished processing all the documents, and planned to skip work and go home to see the children after resting for a while, but before he was lazy, several executives took turns to report to him and put things in front of him, which was really helpless.

First of all, Wang Lihui, the company needs to purchase a lot of vehicles this time, two of the Yanjing branch of the spun off, and at least six of the headquarters. Eight cars were not a big deal at all when the fourth son was in vogue in later generations, but it was not so easy in these years.

The first is the price, the mainstream mid-to-high-end cars imported in 93 Audi A6, Toyota Crown, and Duke Nissan are all around 500,000, and they are all low-profile versions. In the early 90s, there were relatively few imported cars, and it was not until 94 and 97 that the import tariffs on automobiles were lowered twice, and the number of domestic imported cars gradually increased.

Although the price is high, there are many rich people at this time, but even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it. Before the reform and opening up, buying a car was basically the monopoly of state-owned enterprises, public institutions and government departments. The output of automobiles imported by the Ministry of Industry and Trade and some machinery factories from abroad and produced by domestic state-owned automobile enterprises has been divided up by these units, and only a very small number of people with deep backgrounds can get some indicators from these state-owned units.

As the saying goes, there are policies and countermeasures, and if you can't get a car from home, you can get it from abroad. Hong Kong is a global duty-free port, and most private individuals bought cars from the 70s and 80s to the early 90s.

Of course, after the reform and opening up in 92 years, the import channels of automobiles have become wider, and the number of foreign trade companies has gradually increased, and imported cars can be bought through normal channels. Mercedes-Benz, for example, resumed business in Chinese mainland in 92. At the same time as the relaxation of imports, domestic joint venture car companies have gradually increased production, so compared with the "difficulty in buying a car" in previous years, it is now much better.

With Wang Lihui's previous connections, the International Trade Building can still buy a floor, let alone a few cars. What really made it difficult for him to decide was not that he couldn't buy a car, nor that it was too expensive, but that it was too cheap. He went to his old classmates in the Ministry of Industry and Trade, wanting to make it easier to get a car by virtue of his relationship with a foreign trade company, but he didn't expect to be told that there was a more "suitable" cheap car to buy. After he went to see the cars, he found that there was nothing wrong with those cars, but he was not a young man who had just come out of society, and he knew that pie would not fall from the sky, but he was really tempted by such a cheap price, so he simply came back and let Li Ran decide.

When he explained the truth of the matter, Li Ran actually almost knew what was going on in his heart, the procedures were complete, the car was brand new, and it was sold so cheaply, Li Ran couldn't think of an answer other than a smuggled car. Wang Lihui doesn't know the twists and turns, but Li Ran knows that who in later generations doesn't know the famous "Yuanhua case". The smuggling predator came to Changxing and the lace news of many female celebrities can be known by searching the Internet casually, and Li Ran, the high-ranking official involved in his previous life, does not know, but after having the memory of his predecessor, he can take a seat. Thinking of the current situation, coupled with the fact that it is the end of 93, it is estimated that the company has gone to Hong Kong to register and is busy expanding its business.

Knowing the catty in it, Li Ran naturally knew where these cars came from. Naturally, he would not explain the joints to Wang Lihui, but only told Wang Lihui not to contact those people anymore and let him buy a car through normal channels. Li Ran would rather buy fewer cars than plan to save money in this area, and he is not short of this money.

In the past two months since its establishment, Wanjia has opened eight stores in succession with six stores in Yanjing and two stores in Shangjin Branch. Li Ran had just read the statement of the Finance Department in the morning, and in addition to the payment for the goods delivered at the end of the month and a series of expenses, Wanjia now had 20 million funds on its books. 20 million is Wanjia's net profit in the past two months, in other words, Li Ran earned 20 million in less than two months, which is also the confidence for him not to buy smuggled cars.

After sending Wang Lihui away, Yu Bo came again. Because the logistics support center is still an empty shelf, he is temporarily responsible for the decoration of the office building on the side of the International Trade Center. Yu Bo came mainly for the decoration of the president's office of the headquarters and asked Li Ran what his requirements were.

Li Ran doesn't have much opinion on his office. The time he spent in the company was limited, not to mention that he planned to get involved in other industries after Wanjia got on the right track, so he didn't have much time to work at Wanjia's headquarters. But thinking that the office was on the 58th floor of the International Trade Center, I couldn't help but recall the feeling of standing in front of the window in the morning, and decisively asked Yu Bo to install floor-to-ceiling windows in the new office, and the whole glass.

Following Yu Bo, Huang Yanzong, Chen Yun and even Zhao Qi also came to Li Ran to discuss some important things that were not particularly important. At first, Li Ran really thought that they were here to discuss things, but after thinking about it carefully, he understood. These are all human spirits! The change in Li Ran's attitude towards Wang Lihui was remembered by several management, and it was estimated that the personnel appointments of the headquarters would be announced in the next few days, so they were all in a hurry to play a sense of existence in front of Li Ran.

In this regard, Li Ran felt funny and sighed at the same time. The development prospects of Wanjia now seem to have been seen by the company, so the company's personnel changes affect the hearts of all senior executives. Of course, this is a good sign, Li Ran has always wanted to cultivate the sense of identity of the staff to the enterprise has begun to take shape, and the good development will naturally appear unique to Wanjia's own corporate culture, which is the atmosphere that a successful enterprise should have.

The company's development is good, and Li Ran's mood naturally wants to be good. Seeing that the time was almost up, he went out and called Chen Hu to prepare to go home.

It's okay for him to be busy with work every day, but once he has nothing to do outside, he is very easy to think about his children, and his heart is itchy and worried. This may be what happens to every man who is a father, watching his children grow up is very happy and satisfied, and the whole person is like drinking honey.

The child can already recognize people when he is three months old, probably because of the blood connection, the two babies and Li Ran are very close. Vanilla can't compare, and she joked with Li Ran that she takes care of two children every day and can't compare to the effect of Li Ran coming back and hugging for a while.

A few days ago, he and Vanilla took their two children to get vaccinated, and by the way, they weighed the two children and measured their height in the hospital. Ping Ping is already 65 centimeters tall and weighs 8.5 kilograms, and even doctors say that Ping Ping is very well developed. An An is a little worse, with a height of 59 centimeters and a weight of seven kilograms. Li Ran was a little worried about An An, after all, he had been sick a few times before, and his health looked a little bad. After asking the doctor, I learned that An An's current situation is a little better than that of ordinary children, and there are not many people who are so good at developing like Pingping, so Li Ran is relieved.

The weather in Yanjing is gradually getting colder, and it is already a little chilly at night. Adults can still bear it, but children can't stand it, so as a last resort, Li Ran can only make a stove in the house. The stove is a bit dangerous, and Li Ran is afraid that the vanilla will sleep too well at night, so the two of them sleep with him these nights. He sleeps lightly, and there is something that can be detected in advance.

The two children now sleep until dawn after eating enough at night, and occasionally they only wake up in the middle of the night to change diapers, which is not tiring. But I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what if, but fortunately, there are still two days left on November 26, and the two children can move over as soon as the 100 days have passed. The new yard is equipped with air conditioning, and no matter how cold it is at night, it is not afraid.
