In Shanghai, in the mansion where Xiong Lijun and Tao Hui lived, Tao Hui was slowly packing up his things, and Xiong Lijun was standing aside, holding a Marlboro cigarette in his hand, with some impatience on his face.

"Xiao Tao, how long do you have to clean up?"

Seeing that Tao Hui didn't seem to have an end at all, Xiong Lijun finally couldn't help but ask

Tao Hui put down a piece of clothing that was folding in his hand and said to Xiong Lijun: "Lijun, are we really going to Nanjing to see Lin Zhenhua?" ”

Xiong Lijun said: "Of course we have to go, Zhenhua asked us to meet with An Yan to discuss the expansion of household appliance sales." I was supposed to leave yesterday, but something happened to you again. Hurry up now, if we delay a little longer, we'll miss the train again." ”

Hearing Xiong Lijun's words, Tao Hui instead of speeding up, he sat down and said, "Lijun, you sit down, I have something to ask you." ”

Xiong Lijun raised his hand and looked at his watch, and said, "What do you have to say, can't you wait until you get on the train and ask?" ”

Tao Hui said: "No, it's too late to get on the train." I have to negotiate this matter with you first, and then we can decide whether to go to Nanjing or not. ”

"What? To Nanjing? Xiong Lijun was stunned, "You don't mean you don't want to go, do you?" If you don't want to go, I'll go alone. ”

Tao Hui said: "What do you mean to go alone?" If I don't go, you can't go. ”

"Why?" Xiong Lijun's eyes widened. He had yet to question Tao Hui, but the habit he had developed over the years had made him give up this luxury. Since he fell in love with Tao Hui, he has always been in a weak position, and he never dared to blow his beard and stare at Tao Hui, on the contrary, Tao Hui has always pointed fingers at him.

Tao Hui said: "Lijun, I want to ask you, what do you think of Lin Zhenhua?" ”

Xiong Lijun replied without thinking: "He is my iron buddy, as for ability, it is not even said, he is a talent." ”

Tao Hui said: "Who asked you this? I mean, do you think Lin Zhenhua was suspended for review this time, and there will be a chance to make a comeback in the future? ”

Xiong Lijun shook his head and said: "I can't see this, Xiao Tao, you also know, I've never understood this kind of political thing." I guess that Zhenhua didn't make any mistakes, maybe there will be a chance to make a comeback. ”

Tao Hui said: "I don't see it that way. I asked a few people, and they all said that Lin Zhenhua was named in the newspaper, saying that he was digging the corner of the country. Think about it, digging into the corners of the country, what a sin it is? General things, can they be in the newspapers? I think even if he doesn't go to jail, it will be difficult to turn over this time. ”

"Will that happen?" Xiong Lijun said, "Oh, if that's really the case, it would be a pity." Zhenhua has such a great ability, if he is dismissed like this, it is a pity. ”

Tao Hui pursed his lips and said, "What's the matter with you?" What I want to tell you is that Lin Zhenhua came to Nanjing this time to discuss things with you and An Yan, did he want to find a way out for himself? ”

"What retreat?" Xiong Lijun was a little confused, in terms of his relationship with Lin Zhenhua, he didn't think as complicated as Tao Hui, so he couldn't understand Tao Hui's meaning for a while.

Tao Hui said: "I think Lin Zhenhua will definitely not be able to stay in Hanhua Heavy Industry. However, Jiankang Household Appliances and Daxiong Household Appliances both have his shares, and I think he must want to ask for his shares. ”

Xiong Lijun nodded: "Xiao Tao, you are reasonable. On Da Xiong's side, we discussed with Zhenhua, and he accounted for 30% of the shares. If he doesn't stay in Hanhua and comes back to take over these shares, it is equivalent to us giving him 30 stores, which is enough for him to exert his skills. ”

"Phew!" Tao Hui raised his eyebrows and said, "Why give him 30 stores?" What a fool you are, is his stake in us worth 30 stores? ”

Xiong Lijun said: "Why can't it be worth it?" We now have almost 100 stores in the country, and he accounts for 30% of the shares, isn't it just 30 stores? ”

"We built these 30 stores, what contribution does he have?" Tao Hui was like a lioness protecting her cubs, her face was full of anger, "Old Xiong, I can tell you, you are not allowed to be confused, I am afraid that you will really talk about the righteousness of your buddies and give Lin Zhenhua all the family business we have worked so hard to earn." ”

Xiong Lijun's face sank slightly, and he asked, "Xiao Tao, what do you mean by this?" Our Daxiong household appliances were originally owned by me and Zhenhua, and only later did Qi Zhongmou come in to participate in the shares. We now have 40% of the shares, which was also kindly given to us by Zhenhua at the beginning, Zhenhua himself only left 30%, you won't even admit the 30%, right? ”,

Tao Hui smiled coldly and said, "In the past, when Lin Zhenhua opened the Xinxin store, you were the one who gave him Zhang Luo. If it weren't for you, Zhang Luo, would he have so much money? Later, when you came to Shanghai to open the fan dealership, how many things did you do? What did he Lin Zhenhua do? Why so many shares? We are a big bear household appliances, he only has a 30% stake in name, we will give him money now, buy back this 30% of the shares, and we will have nothing to do with him in the future. ”

Xiong Lijun was silent for a while, and asked in a dumb voice: "Xiao Tao, how much money do you plan to take out to buy back this 30% of the shares from Zhenhua?" ”

Tao Hui said: "When we built Daxiong household appliances, the investment was 20 million, of which our own capital was 10 million. Let's take out 3 million to Lin Zhenhua according to this number, and that's enough. ”

Xiong Lijun said: "Xiao Tao, how can you count like this. The 10 million of the year was the original investment, and now Daxiong Household Appliances has developed, with assets of 200 million, 30%, how can it be counted to 60 million, right? ”

"60 million! You are crazy? Tao Hui screamed, "These 200 million assets are earned by ourselves, and Lin Zhenhua didn't do anything, why did he share the money from it?" We will give him a maximum of 6 million, and the extra part will be even if it is the interest of 3 million. ”

Xiong Lijun said: "Zhenhua is not a fool, if you do this, can he agree?" There is a contract between us, and as long as he takes the contract to the court, the court will support him. ”

Tao Hui sneered: "Lijun, that's why I want to have a showdown with Lin Zhenhua now." Think about it, he is now under investigation, and he can't protect himself, does he dare to sue us? If he dares to go to court, we will report to his superiors what he did in business back then. He himself is the manager of Hanhua Industrial Company, but he hired you to open a dealership in Shanghai, but in fact, this dealership itself has his shares, and he is harming the public and private interests. At this time, if he pokes one of these things, he can't eat and walk around. ”

"Xiao Tao, you're not joking, are you?" Xiong Lijun asked.

Tao Hui's eyes widened and he said, "Of course it's not a joke, I'm serious." ”

Xiong Lijun nodded and did not speak. He pressed the cigarette butt in his hand into the ashtray and pulled another out of the cigarette case. Looking at the Marlboro sign on the cigarette case, he felt a pang in his heart and said slowly: "Xiao Tao, do you know why I like to smoke Marlboro so much?" ”

Tao Hui didn't expect Xiong Lijun to talk about such an irrelevant matter, so he replied angrily: "How do I know? ”

Xiong Lijun said: "10 years ago, I worked as a porter in Hanhua, and I only earned 40 yuan a month. At that time, I didn't dare to buy good cigarettes, and I bought the cheapest ones. At that time, I once made a vow that when I made a fortune, I would definitely buy a box of Marlboro to smoke. Later, I finally smoked Marlboro, and the first box of Marlboro I smoked was given to me by Zhenhua. ”

Tao Hui was stunned for a moment, then pouted disdainfully and said, "When did this happen, you still remember." ”

Xiong Lijun said: "There are some things that I will never forget. Back then, the people in the factory looked down on me, thinking that I was a waste, and even I looked down on myself. But Zhenhua didn't dislike me, he persuaded me to go to the sea and do business with him. He could have just hired me and given me a salary, but he gave me shares so that I could become a rich man. Xiao Tao, you should remember, if I hadn't followed Zhenhua to do business back then, I wouldn't have known you, and we wouldn't be where we are today. ”

Tao Hui's face became a little embarrassed, and she heard the meaning of Xiong Lijun's words. Tao Hui has no feelings for Lin Zhenhua, but just sees him as a partner of Xiong Lijun. In the past, Lin Zhenhua was useful to her and Xiong Lijun, and she had a good relationship with Lin Zhenhua at that time. Today, Daxiong Household Appliances has been full-fledged and can develop independently, and Lin Zhenhua is a dividend payer who occupies 30% of the shares of Daxiong Household Appliances for her. Whenever he thought of giving 30% of such a huge family business to Lin Zhenhua, Tao Hui felt very distressed.

Hearing that Lin Zhenhua was suspended, Tao Hui's first reaction was that Lin Zhenhua was completely useless, and it was time to break up with Lin Zhenhua. This time Lin Zhenhua went to Nanjing and asked Xiong Lijun to go to Nanjing for a meeting, Tao Hui has been thinking about how to persuade Xiong Lijun to break up with Lin Zhenhua.

Xiong Lijun's words just now were obviously saying that he had a deep relationship with Lin Zhenhua, and he was unwilling to kick Lin Zhenhua away like this. Tao Hui has always been very unaccustomed to Xiong Lijun's righteousness, after Xiong Lijun's career, many poor relatives came to borrow money, Xiong Lijun did not refuse to come, which already made Tao Hui very dissatisfied. Now, when it is the turn of this major matter, Xiong Lijun is still thinking about the little favor that Lin Zhenhua gave him back then, which in Tao Hui's eyes, is really too lacking in manhood.

"Old Xiong, I know that Lin Zhenhua has given you benefits in the past. However, you have helped him earn money for so many years, and you have already repaid his love, and you don't owe each other. Tao Hui said, "He took tens of thousands of yuan as capital, let you open a store, and later opened a Shanghai dealership, and now we pay him 6 million, isn't it enough?" ”
