"Dad, why do you still live here, why don't you change your residence, and now the real estate is cheap." Li Guokang said to his father-in-law that the Liu family was very warm to the two of them, and the hospitality was very grand.

"Forget it, this house is okay, and I'm used to living in it, so just make do with it." Liu Huashan didn't know what his son-in-law meant, so he smiled reluctantly, which could be regarded as an explanation.

"Yes, Dad, why don't you change your residence, isn't the family rich?" Liu Huifeng sat next to her mother, she was also dissatisfied with the family still living here, this place is relatively remote, especially in the east cold and hot summer, the environment is relatively poor, at that time it was because of the shortage of funds, in order to save expenses to live. But the living conditions here are too poor, I thought I had changed the house, but I didn't expect them to live here, as soon as she got home, she wanted to ask to understand, before she could speak, the husband asked first, this time, the couple came to a husband and wife.

"Dad, do you have any concerns?" Seeing that his father-in-law's face was a little embarrassed, Guokang understood the reason, "Don't worry, Ah Hui now earns more than me every month, and during this time, it is almost 200,000 yuan per month (salary plus subsidy) in India, I'm afraid it's not enough!" Before Ah Hui sent it home, it was the salary of the two of us. Guokang knows the pimple in his father-in-law's heart, after they worked in India, they mailed 200,000 yuan to Nanjing almost every month, which is the vast majority of their salary, and for more than a year, a total of more than 3 million yuan was sent back, which is not a small amount, enough for an ordinary family to spend for more than ten years, but it seems that the old father-in-law does not seem to use it much.

"It's not good, don't embarrass you!" As soon as he heard that the wages of the two people had been sent back, Liu Huashan became even more uneasy, as an old man who had been immersed in real estate for many years, he knew that the approximate salary in the real estate industry, the fairy or Xixing might be slightly higher, but like them, it was only about 100,000 yuan, which was still the salary set by their identity, that is, the two of them sent their wages back! Although the big family has money, it also manages the money very strictly, and there are many rules, especially some disputes caused by the struggle for power and profit, and a big family like the Li family is estimated to be about the same, so he is even more panicked; And the reason why he didn't use this money was because he didn't want to embarrass his daughter and son-in-law, who were old and saw everything through, and didn't care about eating, drinking, and enjoying anything, as long as the children's lives were smooth!

"Dad, you've already embarrassed us!" Guokang said with a wry smile, at this time, the old father-in-law's face suddenly became stunned, Liu Fengyuan also changed his face suddenly, even Liu Huifeng changed color slightly, and the other two women's faces changed greatly, "Did my father ask you, 'Is the family financially tight', do you know what he told me?" I'll learn from you, Ah Hui doesn't know these words, 'Old man Liu wants to save face, I don't care about this matter, you two can do it'!" You also know that we have money at home, and of course we don't let our relatives go hungry, no matter who they are, as long as they say they have no money, they will send it over immediately. Most of the sisters-in-law in the family are relatively poor, especially at this time, the Li family is so rich, can they make their relatives hungry? As long as it is not extravagant and wasteful, the Li family will not gossip at all, but the money can only be withdrawn from family expenses. Each of us uses pocket money, and there is a lot of this pocket money, and Ah Hui also has it, but the pocket money can only be used by us personally, and even the transfer between brothers has to be reported, and we can't help relatives and friends; But if it can't be used up, after a certain amount is exceeded, it will have to be handed over in full, and our brother's pocket money will always be handed over, and everyone is used to it. Our family also does not prohibit us from personally helping relatives and friends, but this can only be paid out of our personal salary. At the beginning, Ah Hui and we were not married, so we couldn't send money to our family, and after we got married, we couldn't do anything because we didn't have a job! But we know the situation at home, and we want to let you change your place of residence as soon as possible, but this has to earn money, because I just got married, I didn't arrange a job at all, and there was no job suitable for Ah Hui, so I had to do some odd jobs, you said that we were not embarrassed, we had to spend our honeymoon, and we had to think of earning money, and the thousands of dollars sent back in June were earned by doing odd jobs. Later, the situation got better, especially Ah Hui's work is excellent, his salary continues to rise, and then he is more than me, so you are still reluctant to use it, what do you say Ah Hui and I think! ”

"I can't rely on you all, I'm responsible." Liu Fengyuan's expression relaxed after hearing this, but these words stimulated his nerves after all, he is also a dignified man, a descendant of the Liu family, and the main labor force in the family, so he can't let his brother-in-law give him a beat; Although he is in trouble now, his self-esteem is still there, not to mention that he doesn't think it's worse than this brother-in-law, since he can earn money to support his family, why can't he!

"Why should the family share so much, whoever can contribute a little more, it's not easy to find a job now, the economy is in a recession, and even we are about to lose our jobs." Guokang understood what this eldest brother meant, he didn't look down on each other's thoughts, everyone made a strong contribution, and because there were many brothers since childhood, they developed the habit of understanding others.

"What's the matter, isn't the fairy working so well?" The sister-in-law asked nervously, Mrs. Liu is now more sensitive to unemployment, and it is said that she has also gone out to look for a job, but unfortunately she has never had the opportunity.

"Ah Hui is more than 4 months pregnant, some time ago in India, work is tight, and the living conditions are not very good, so the family does not let her work anymore, she recuperates at home, and I have to accompany her. Although the fairy did not lay off employees, in fact, there was a serious overstaffing, and I couldn't go to grab other people's jobs, so I had to lose my job! Guokang explained that everyone knew about Liu Huifeng's pregnancy, and he was by his side, and no one had any opinions.

"Then help your eldest brother find a job, and he is idle at home every day!" This is her purpose, thinking that this favor should be an easy thing for the Li family.

Guokang couldn't help but smile bitterly and glanced at his wife, but Liu Huifeng didn't say anything, and he left it to him. And the last thing he wants to face is this situation, he is not afraid of the other requirements of the Liu family, but he is worried about finding a job, because he can't solve this matter, fortunately, the old father-in-law has relieved him.

"Don't embarrass Guokang, if he could solve it, he would have done it a long time ago; We still have some money, so let's make do with it, and we will top it for a while. At present, there is still unemployment everywhere, why should we fight for this, there are still many people in difficulty. The old father-in-law was not ambiguous, and he said it righteously.

"Sister-in-law, I really can't help with this favor, don't blame me for being useless. You don't know about the Li family's situation, and none of our brothers can help with this kind of thing. Most people believe that the fairy and the West Star are both the Li family's industry, and they think that the Li family and the company are the same thing, but they are actually different. The Li family is the Li family, the company is the company, the fairy and the West Star must have the people of the Li family, but not everyone can go in and work, if dozens of us are stupid, then we can only go to the name, and we can't even manage things. There are a total of 24 people in our brothers and sisters plus three uncles and uncles, and the family is allowed to choose their own careers, and they can do whatever they want, but if they don't have the ability, they can't do anything, let alone enter the company. Of course, luckily, we are all okay, at least my father is satisfied. Those of us who are stupid and who stay at home can go to other companies, if we are all stupid, then one company will send one person to take the lead, be a decoration, and the rest will stand aside. Fairy and Xixing will not be open to the net because of who is a member of the Li clan or relatives and friends, they are both commercial companies, owned by the Li clan, and serve the entire Li clan. Of course, the eldest brother's ability is not bad, he has worked in the real estate industry for many years, but now Xixing itself has a surplus of personnel, and there is no intention of recruiting people in the near future, what do you let me do! The father-in-law's words did not solve the problem fundamentally, he only continued to explain.

"Honestly, you certainly didn't have any conspiracy?" Whether they understand or not, several people have to accept Guokang's explanation, which is related to the internal affairs of the Li family, outsiders have no right to intervene, let alone criticize in front of others. But Liu Huifeng is different, when the two got married, she knew the situation of the Li family, and someone introduced her to her, so naturally she would not care, although the time of the Li family was still short, and some things were not very well understood, but it was from these words that she found some problems.

"What conspiracy I can play, what I told you is true." Guokang almost jumped up, this guy stared at that thing, his excessive reaction immediately attracted everyone's attention, and even the attention of the eldest aunt and sister-in-law was also attracted, and everyone didn't understand what was going on with the couple. It seems that there is no malicious intention, but this has aroused everyone's interest, "I haven't said something clearly, it's okay if you don't listen, isn't the reason I said enough?" ”

"It's quite sufficient, but I don't think it's enough, there's nothing left unsaid, say it quickly!" The couple played a dumb riddle for everyone.

"I'll tell you okay when you go back, don't say it here, it's a shame!" Guokang didn't dare to face everyone's eyes, he just wanted to move his wife to give up the investigation.

"What's the matter, Guokang, even we can't know?" The old mother-in-law was obviously extremely worried about this dispute between the two people, and spoke out before her daughter could express her position. Since her daughter and son-in-law came home, she has been in a very happy mood, the two of them get along harmoniously, she naturally sees it in her eyes, and now all the doubts and unpleasantness have disappeared, and she naturally hopes that there will be no mustard between them.

"Mom, don't ...... Hey, it's a shame to say! Guokang really has no choice but to do it, his wife's sudden blow made him lose all his efforts, and what is even worse is that the old mother-in-law made him unable to refuse, "Since you asked, I can't help but say it, but this matter is really a loss of face for the Li family, don't say that I said it."

"Ah Hui has been at home for a relatively short time, and he doesn't know about some things, and he doesn't know everyone's specific situation. Although the assets of Xixing Company are not much, they are less than those of fairy companies such as Fairy Electronics, and now they are even less, but in Li's eyes, the status of Xixing is different, and the fairy will not have the real estate industry, that is, the real estate industry in India, and the fairy will not care, and the status of the head office of Xixing is the same as that of the fairy headquarters. According to the meaning of the family, the top leaders of the headquarters of these two companies must be from the Li family. The Li family I am talking about also includes the three uncles and uncles, among whom the fairy must be my father's immediate family or their spouse, Xixing can be any person or spouse of the four families, even these people are stupid, and they have to be the person in charge, they can not care about things, and the position must be occupied, but there is a problem in this. Nowadays, there are so many people in the Li family, and there are really few who are interested in real estate, Xixing was established by my three uncles and uncles, even my father has also made suggestions, and people say that the son inherits the father's business, but this is not used by us at all. Uncle Wang's parent, Wang Jing, is now our sister-in-law, who is not interested in real estate, and his younger brother Wang Yun wants to be a teacher; Uncle Li's daughter, Li Ruyi, is now our sixth sister-in-law, and my sixth brother has a hobby, and went to be a doctor, and the younger brother Li Yixing is interested in mathematics and says that he wants to become a great mathematician; Uncle Xu's son Xu Gangchuan, a few months older than me, we all call him the second brother, it was everyone's hope, they all hope that he will take over the West Star Company, but he is more willing to take over the investment company managed by Uncle Xu, saying that it is to establish the largest commercial company in China, the investment plan has long been approved, it is said that it is very open, there is no going back, little sister Xu Xiaoqiu, we all call her little sister, everyone says Uncle Xu They have passed on their abilities to her brother. Originally, according to the influence of the family, the three of them were the most promising to produce this person, especially the latter two, but in fact, one of them was not willing to engage in the real estate industry.

"There are so many people in the Li family, the Li family accounts for the vast majority, and they are naturally required to take on more responsibilities, but the problem is that we have eighteen brothers and sisters, and none of them are interested in real estate, not to mention the big ones, the four younger brothers are not willing to do it, and none of the sisters-in-law have this intention, among all the people, only the eldest brother is on the side of the real estate, but he is more interested in architectural design, he is the happiest to go to India this time, Ah Hui knows, the buildings all over India have been looked at, My father said that it was Spike who bewitched Big Brother, and you should know that. According to the probability, in the entire Li family, only Ah Hui likes real estate, of course, the Li family never forces members, especially non-blood members, to do jobs they don't like. The person in charge of Xixing will be one of the two of them, if Ah Hui is unwilling to do it, then only my eldest brother will do it, and it is estimated that he will not be a master in charge. You can rest assured, if Ah Hui is unwilling, she can refuse completely, and no one embarrass her, because everyone is black-faced, and even if you do it, as long as you don't want to do it anymore, you can retreat! ”

"Then I won't let it back so soon!" Everyone listened comfortably, and they all felt a little crying and laughing, but they didn't expect them to send a housekeeper for the Li family, I don't know whether it was lucky or unlucky, whether to celebrate or oppose! But Liu Huifeng is still concerned about his "intrigues".

"This involves two more issues, and it is not as simple as one problem." Begging for a glass of water, he began his tirade again, "My eldest brother and sister-in-law have been married for many years, why don't I have children yet." The Li family is different, especially the Li family, attaches great importance to offspring, when my Gigi mother didn't want to give birth, the family disagreed, and unanimously persuaded her, and as a result, there were two younger brothers, and the family's opinion was to hurry up or not late, several sisters-in-law and two sisters were not very old, and everyone naturally didn't want to let Ah Hui be excepted. Originally, everyone was the same size, but later the age difference between the children and grandchildren became bigger and bigger, and it was not the same thing, to be honest, I was a little itchy when I heard the little ones call 'Daddy' earlier. The next question is naturally the matter of the person in charge of West Star!

"Isn't Uncle Li doing very well, he is not too old, he is just over 60!" Liu Hui was a little unimpressed, and naturally raised her own questions.

"I can't let Aunt Chen hear this. Uncle Li is about the same age as her father, but she is much older than her father, and she is very distressed, and she has always blamed her father for bullying him. Uncle Li is very serious about his work, for a long time, he has been worried and troubled, especially since the crisis, his energy has not been as good as before, if someone can replace him, everyone wants him to retire, as long as he is not on the front line, but even if you take over, it will take a few years to retire. Even Dad, he will retire soon, although he looks younger, but he is more anxious to retire than others, if it weren't for this crisis, it is estimated that he would have retired a long time ago! ”

"And who's going to take over the fairy?" Subconsciously, Liu Huifeng asked, and he regretted it a little when he said it, because some things are not suitable for discussion behind his back!

"It's okay, the fairy's burden is not light! Like Xixing, it is not easy to take over, she is more complicated than Xixing, there are many companies, more than 100 large and small companies, and there are many assets, and long-term planning must be considered, however, there will always be someone to take care of, and none of the people in the Li family is weak. Big brother, wait for work first, let's see where the house is suitable, move in first, Mom and Dad are also old, living here for a long time is not good for health, what are the difficulties at home, just say hello, let's not separate each other! Guokang changed the topic, the fairy's problem was more complicated, to be honest, he didn't have the mind to do this, and he felt that his courage was not enough.

It should be said that the Liu family is still a family with a relatively good economic situation, although Liu's real estate has gone bankrupt, but many years of private savings can barely survive, but also because of a good daughter and a good son-in-law, to be precise, there is a good family, life is passable, retired the old house, rented a new house, and then bought a good house, the family finally settled down.

Due to the impact of the economic crisis, real estate has shrunk severely, the price has dropped exponentially, and it does not cost much to buy a new house, because there are too many individuals and real estate companies waiting to sell the house, and there is a serious oversupply. Even the real estate of Xixing Company has shrunk seriously, occupying the position of the boss in the country, but the economic situation is relatively good, speaking of which there are still hundreds of billions of yuan in storage funds, of course, this is the money that was loaned to the fairy. Even if he has money, he has not carried out relatively large acquisitions in China, and as long as there are no companies rushing to buy them, he will not move. This is because of the depreciation of real estate, the second is that the domestic economic situation is not optimistic, and the fairy spends money too fiercely, the whole company system is seriously lacking in funds, and they do not dare to take too many risks. In the eyes of others, Xixing's conservative approach is a high-pressure posture towards its peers, forcing major companies to be careful in order to protect themselves, and they dare not make any irritating actions at all. This is not a worrying thing, everyone knows that although the fairy has invested a lot of money, the reserve funds are not much, in order to make full use of this "rare opportunity", it is a large-scale loan, but the fairy's conditions are too superior, a little action, it is not which or several companies can afford it.

Of course, for Xixing, it is impossible to acquire a cent of real estate, during the economic crisis, even when the real estate has not bottomed out, it has also acquired some real estate piecemeal, but these properties are all over the country, often a few buildings in a city or something, and there are few contiguous phenomena. According to statistics, during the entire economic crisis, he acquired more than 20 billion yuan of commercial real estate in 180 large and medium-sized cities, scattered like stars in major large and medium-sized cities across the country, even in the same city is scattered in different regions, and not every building is the best value-added potential, such as flying sand in the sky, chaotic. For the acquisition of Xixing without a certain object, the major real estate companies did not have a clear response, everyone is busy, but also more nervous, not much mind to study this kind of non-threatening business activities, many real estate companies are also willing to transfer these properties to Xixing, on the one hand, to get rid of the burden, on the other hand, to get the funds to survive. The real estate industry in the country as a whole maintains a strange balance, except for some real estate apartments that are constantly "confiscated" by the banks, there is basically no news, and there is "no war in real estate" for three years from the beginning of 36. Of course, the stability of the real estate industry does not mean that the entire market is so stable, so to speak, in this economic crisis that has swept the world, the Indian market is the most chaotic, and the Chinese market is the most competitive; There are frequent acquisitions in the Indian market, while there are many acquisitions in the Chinese market, and the life-and-death competition of merchants is also cruel, and the fierceness and cruelty of the product market competition can be called the world's!

In May 36, it should be after July, there was a fierce, orderly and cruel competition between the products of the three countries in the Chinese market, and it intensified. Fierce, because the market competition is extremely weird, the means of the company emerge in endlessly, between the company and the company, the company group and the group compete with each other, try to promote their own products, strive to maintain their own favorable position and leading edge in the market, and strive to expand the market share of products, from quality to price, and to after-sales service and technical support, the company, especially the large companies, has carried out a full range of competition, a variety of preferential policies in turn, constantly stimulating the nerves of downstream businesses and customers, Whether it is a high-end market or a low-end market, whether it is basic supplies or high-tech products, there is a desperate competition. Large companies are fighting in the high-end market and high-tech products, and small and medium-sized companies are competing for individual products and basic supplies, and everyone thinks that this is a life-and-death battle related to the overall situation.

Speaking of order, from the perspective of market competition, major companies, especially large companies, have their own tricks, whether they use bitter meat tricks, sugar-coated cannonballs, or beauty tricks, whatever they want, as long as God likes it; However, there is one thing that cannot be crossed, whether it is a product produced by a Chinese company, a Japanese company, or a Korean company, the price is limited, and the cost price of each company can be different, but the profit ratio must be the same. For example, for a product of 10,000 yuan, the profit ratio extracted by various governments is uniform, and whether they want to or not, they have to do so. For the governments of Japan and South Korea and North Korea, seizing the Chinese market is the highest goal, and it is okay for companies not to hand over profits or pay less, but the government of country Z does not agree, if you don't collect it, then I will collect it, and it stipulates strict subsidy measures, once it is found that a company's products have not paid profits in accordance with the "regulations" or received subsidies from the government, they will be immediately removed from the Chinese market, or be heavily taxed; And if a company receives a government subsidy within a few years of the economic crisis, it will also be punished according to certain regulations if it is not unanimously approved by the three governments in advance. These regulations were all explicitly stipulated when China signed a trade agreement with the two governments, and it can be said that it has been a serious shackle on the companies of the three countries for many years, and "if you want to survive, you must pay the price", which is a very famous quote of a certain trade coordination official. These regulations regulate the market behavior of individual companies, and to a large extent eliminate dumping behavior, because no one dares to touch this red line easily, so they have to work technology and services, as well as preferential measures. Orderliness is also manifested in the cooperation between companies, the trade agreement has no provisions on cooperation between companies, and companies can support each other and cooperate in the market and services to maximize their own interests. There is no need to be reminded by the government, everyone is very clear about this, especially the companies of Japan and South Korea and North Korea, which cooperate very tacitly. Japanese companies themselves have a tradition of cooperating with each other, and they are very famous all over the world, and in order to stimulate the production of their own companies, they often only purchase their own products, even if the quality of other products is excellent and the price is reasonable, they do not pay attention to it, even to the point of paranoia; The Korean and North Korean companies are not lagging behind their neighbors Japan to the east, and even surpass them. In order to seize the Chinese market, some companies even share funds, which puts Chinese companies at an absolute disadvantage in the initial competition. However, this practice of the two neighbors has also stimulated a large-scale alliance between Chinese companies, and one interest group after another has been formed in the shortest possible time, and related companies have combined to support each other, forming a situation of confrontation between large company groups.

Say cruel, that is because there are many manufacturers, and the market capacity is very limited, in order to survive, have their own tricks, set a plan, although the price of the product can not decide the winner, then from the quality, service and technical support to themselves in the first opportunity. Even if the economic crisis has caused financial difficulties and low market efficiency, companies, especially large companies, still invest heavily in research to improve productivity, reduce production costs, and improve product quality. Large companies have strong financial resources, and large-scale investment is possible, but some small companies cannot do this, even if they are attached to large companies or form larger consortia, they can only protect themselves, because each company's funds are limited after all, and it is impossible to support these temporary partners without restrictions, resulting in the strong being stronger and the weak being weaker. On the other hand, during the entire economic crisis, the scientific and technological level of the three East Asian countries has risen significantly, and to some extent they have been ahead of their European and American counterparts, which is also a "side effect" of the "Far Eastern War". Although the three countries fought to the death in China, where the market is small, the results are not unexpected, and one of the biggest consequences is that the Chinese market has received high-quality services, accepted the generous gifts of large international companies during the economic crisis, and stimulated the expansion of the consumer market. For this rare consumption opportunity, although the social funds are not abundant, can a penny be used as two or even three cents without making the market move? Therefore, the Far East, especially the Chinese market, has become the most active market in the world, and the recovery rate far exceeds that of the European and American markets; At the same time, as one of the fruits of the recovery of the market, almost all the major large companies of the Far East survived. And the other most important consequence is that the three countries of the Far East have determined the order of strength and weakness, with China and Japan being the strongest, while South Korea and North Korea are at a disadvantage in all respects.

The impact of the war in the Far East was so far-reaching that even the Japanese side did not anticipate it, and according to Japanese experts, the crisis "allowed Chinese companies to really grow up and become business groups capable of all-out confrontation with Japan under the influence of the national atmosphere." Since then, both in the Chinese market and in the world market, rising Chinese companies have the ability to compete with their counterparts in Japan and even the world. Fragmented Chinese companies formed wartime alliances, in which they cooperated with each other, cooperated tacitly, and shared benefits, and were no longer piecemeal agents of international companies. Most of these alliances were retained and further developed into a tightly knit joint strategic group, which became one of the most influential power groups in the post-war global market competition.
