Text: Dajiang Dahe (II) _ 1993
Liang's mother was one step ahead of her daughter and came to the villa early. I wanted to help my daughter, so I cleaned it first, so that my daughter was idle, and I didn't want to be picked up by Liang Da to take a look at the villa, everything was appropriate, except for popularity, everything else was there. It turned out that Li Li had already asked people to tidy up the house, and Li Li's nanny usually came to plaster it. Even Liang Da was familiar with it, and when he entered the door, he turned on the air conditioner, and the house suddenly warmed up. It's very strange, as soon as the house is warm, the lines of the furniture in the room seem to soften.
The first floor is a large studio, except for the working room and bathroom, everything else is open. The kitchen furniture is a complete set brought from the United States, with logs and countertops made of unknown materials, which is very thick and gorgeous. Liang Da said that everyone said that the kitchen was good, and they asked the carpenter to do it when they went back, but the hardware couldn't keep up, so they could only learn it. The countertops had to be replaced with granite. There are also four large packages in the house, which are said to be curtains and bedding, and it is written in Chinese and English that they are not allowed to be opened.
Liang Mu looked around, and was smiling and saying that she was okay, when she saw a taxi outside parked in the lane at the door. Liang's mother stopped to look, but her daughter got out of the car, didn't look at the house, lowered her head and strode to the back of the car, vigorously dragged out two large suitcases, and dragged out two large suitcases, and dragged out two large and small boxes from the rear parking space. When Liang's mother rushed out in surprise, Liang Sishen had already dragged all the boxes out and went over to settle accounts with the driver.
Liang Da was surprised when he looked inside, and he couldn't see that his cousin was infinitely powerful. He hurriedly went out to help, and when he picked up a box, he felt heavy, and he didn't hesitate to tease: "Xiao Qi, Hercules, I can't see it." ”
"I practice boxing, and now we are all blue-collar blanks." Liang Sishen brought the last box in, then threw off his coat and hugged his mother again with joy.
Seeing this, Liang Da said goodbye, but was pulled by Liang Sishen and asked to see his and Li Li's house. Liang Sishen often listened to Liang Da and Li Li boast about how to invest in the decoration when discussing the details of the decoration on the phone, and he was very curious about the family layout of China's upstarts. The nanny of Li Li's house was used to seeing Liang Da and let them visit. Liang Sishen went up and saw that Li Li's bedroom was an iron-gray silk bedding, a full set of mahogany furniture upstairs and downstairs, not to mention workmanship, but there were so many mahogany materials...... I can't help but be staggered. Looking back at Liang Da's room, it was almost the same, but Liang Da was obviously imported European-style furniture, which was extremely luxurious. Comparing the two houses, as her new Song Ci said, "competing for luxury and luxury". When they came back to talk to their mothers, both of them sighed with emotion, saying that Liang Da and Li Li could really spend money.
Immediately, the mother and daughter began to arrange the curtains and bedding, and the two had endless words. Liang's mother watched her daughter jumping up and down vigorously, skillful and neat, and couldn't help but think that the other third generations of the Liang family were not very good at housework, which showed that her daughter had suffered alone outside in recent years, but she couldn't ask this anymore, and her daughter wouldn't answer. What she wanted to know most was where her daughter's living expenses came from during the half-year lawsuit with her grandfather, where did she go on weekends, etc., and her daughter answered that her classmates' parents helped solve them. Thinking of this, Liang's mother felt that her daughter should live a luxurious life, because she relied on herself, and Liang Da and the like were far behind.
But there is a question to be clarified, Liang's mother asked: "Nannan, is Li Li really that kind of thing to do with you?" Liang Da seems to have decided that you have a relationship with Li Li, didn't he say that Li Li has many girlfriends before? ”
"Mom, don't be too feudal about this, Li Li just looks at me as rare compared to domestic people, I just look at Li Li as a little more interesting than other domestic people, ordinary boyfriend and girlfriend, you don't have to think too complicated. Li Li's ancestors said that the eternal knot is ruthless, and the phase is Miao Yunhan. ”
Liang's mother thought about it, but this was not the case. But then I thought about it, how could my daughter see so clearly at such a young age, which was very bad. She had to be cheeky and asked worriedly: "Nannan, do you have any friends like Li Li in the United States?" ”
Liang Sishen smiled and said continuously: "Mommy, Mommy, Mommy, I'm not a messy girl, and I don't have time to mess around." Don't worry, but don't ask more, it's embarrassing. She said as she picked up the iron and smoothed out the crumpled part of the sheet during transportation.
Liang's mother had to use her husband's words to comfort herself, her daughter is now an American girl, and she had already made up her mind to let her study freely when she was sent out, and she should accept such a daughter now.
The things that her daughter took out were very novel, and Liang's mother didn't dare to move, so most of the time she had to watch, and when she was watching, she looked at her baby daughter proudly. The daughter who has been dancing since she was a child has a very graceful figure, with slender legs, narrow hips, a slender waist and a curvy neck. Such a daughter, everywhere she puts it, is a luminous body, Liang's mother imagined that her daughter was surrounded by a group of men, she really wanted to sift through those men for her daughter, but unfortunately the whip was out of reach.
Seeing half of it, Liang's mother already understood that her daughter said that it was not as luxurious as Liang's, but in fact, bedding and curtains must have cost a lot of money.
A house is arranged like this, and it finally has popularity. The winter sun shines through the curtains onto the carpet, and you can't help but sigh lazily. Liang Sishen sat in front of the coffee table with his mother at this time, wiping the porcelain and jade taken out of the bedding package. Liang's mother then understood why her daughter strictly forbade others to touch her soft packaging, it turned out that there was something else inside.
Liang's mother saw her daughter decorating her new home with all kinds of tricks and enthusiasm, but she didn't know that her daughter was full of frustration, the financing project of the Donghai Plant she was in charge of went bankrupt, and she was finally criticized before the team disbanded and returned to China, which she couldn't bear, because it was not her fault. She was even more angry that the project that she knew Xiao Ran was going well before she came. That meant that Xiao Ran's trick was about to succeed, and she couldn't stop it. When she saw Liang Da Li Li's luxurious house just now, she thought very radically, if social resources are a cake, but when Liang Da Xiao Ran, Li Li and others can easily embezzle and plunder excellent resources, what should others do? Teacher Song has made extraordinary efforts, Yang Xun has paid blood and tears, and Teacher Song's brother-in-law has paid for freedom. But who will be the sin of those who have appropriated resources? What she was most angry about was that she couldn't do it. If it was a ball game, it was also a ball game full of black whistles.
Sadly, in view of her outstanding performance in preparing for the meeting with the big boss this time, the company plans to let her focus on the business in China in the future. Why? Of course Liang Sishen knows, because she is the son of a high-ranking cadre, she can find many doors that others can't find, and people that others can't find, she just pulls the tiger skin banner with a phone call. She is also violating the principle of fair competition, but she now knows that there are some things that she can't tell her mother, and she can't let her mother worry about her heretical thoughts, because her Liang family is also a vested interest, and she always gets no response to talking about this kind of thing at home.
Liang Muwu couldn't put it down and wiped a porcelain vase that had rained over the sky, and after wiping the whole thing, she said with satisfaction: "It's really beautiful." What does this bottle do? ”
"This should only be an imitation, imitation of the Song Ru kiln gall bottle, but this is only a good imitation, the bottom of the bottle is also honestly written Ming Chenghua, from the line and glaze point of view, the workmanship is quite good, the glaze is also added agate, you see, the glaze is similar to jade, and there are fine cracks, only a carcass color is slightly wrong."
Liang Mu looked at it carefully and said with a smile: "It's really good, it's like what is written in "Dream of Red Mansions", 'steal the pear stamen three points white, borrow a wisp of plum blossom soul', this gall bottle, there is aura." ”
"Yes, I only know by memorizing Tang and Song poems that some things need a lot of words to describe, but a poem can summarize a thousand words." Liang Sishen took a deep breath and still decided not to mention the unhappiness to his mother. Well, then it's a storm, she's an adult, she can solve her own problems. "Mom, this is a jasper lotus leaf bowl, the jade quality is not first-class, but such a large piece of jade can be so homogeneous is already considered superior, but the carving is first-class, I bought a piece of jasper and asked the Turks to carve it, and the rest carved these small cups, and a few beads. Mom, you see, this Qing Dynasty Hetian green and white jade incense burner is placed in the middle of these two bowls, each bowl is filled with water, and a white rose is floated, how beautiful it should be. ”
"Fake foreign devils are not stuffed, it is best to put gardenias that bloom in summer, these days a few plum blossoms, idle flowers shine on the water, okay."
Liang Sishen grimaced and continued to set up the gadgets with his mother. She told her mother that half of the money she had earned in the past few years had been spent on these gadgets. Liang's mother more or less knew that her daughter had earned a lot in the past few years, and she couldn't help but feel distressed when she thought of millions of dollars in exchange for these gadgets. But these gadgets are really good-looking, especially when Liang Sishen took out the spices he had worked so hard to collect, Liang's mother couldn't put it down, and her dream when she was a girl came true in her daughter's generation.
But Liang's mother also thought of one thing with annoyance, such an excellent daughter, who else can she look up to in her eyes, this is the biggest trouble.
When the mother and daughter went out to buy groceries and came back, it was already dark, and they could see that most of the houses in the villa had been lit up, which showed that there were already people moving in. Walking as a car, talking about the line, but it is also rare to be leisurely. When I arrived at the door of the house, I saw a big bouquet of roses at the door. Liang's mother smiled: "Oh, Li Li has been here, it must be him, we are discussing buying flowers tomorrow, and he will send them to the door." It's nice to have a daughter, someone sent flowers to the door, hehe. ”
Liang Sishen carried things in both hands, opened the door with his free hands, and then looked at the flowers on the ground. When I saw it, I laughed: "No, it was sent by my father." Wish...... Happy New Year to Ms. Wang and Miss Liang, haha, Dad is so cute. ”
The mother and daughter were overjoyed, but were interrupted by the voice outside the wooden fence in the courtyard: "Miss Liang, I found you, can we enter the door?" ”
Liang Sishen looked out, there were two people in the black field, but he couldn't see who it was, and the other person also spoke: "Miss Liang, I'm Li Li." Happy New Year, Auntie. ”
Liang Sishen walked to open the door, but saw that it was Xiao Ran who spoke first. Hey, what is he here for? But seeing that both of them respected her mother very much, she estimated that Xiao Ran should have made friends with her, and further softened her position through Li Li's relationship. As soon as Li Li saw that Liang's mother had the intention of cooking, he immediately called the nanny at home and asked her to come over to help. Liang's mother looked at it with a smile, but she didn't refuse. Of course, Xiao Ran saw a little bit of meaning from the side.
Li Li looked at Liang Sishen with a smile: "Very tired? Then why do you go out to buy groceries, can't you just open an order for my nanny? ”
Liang Sishen originally loved the house and Wudi and annoyed Li Li, a high-ranking cadre, but he saw that the real person was soft-hearted, Li Li's smile was so tasteful, and his voice was so tasteful, almost the same as when he saw him in summer. When asked, she pursed her mouth and said, "I'm very tired." ”
"Annoying at work?" Li Li saw that after Liang Sishen took off his black knee-length cotton coat, he was wearing a loose beige sweater and beige pants, all of which were very soft, so soft that people wanted to hug them tightly. "Or are you tired of setting up your room as soon as you come? Don't be tired of your aunt. But with curtains and the like, the house is much more beautiful. I don't dare to add additional furniture for you, for fear that it will not match, and the house still looks a little empty. ”
"Thank you yet, the house is very well decorated, better than I expected. Empty is empty, preferably a thief. Liang Sishen threw the thick braids behind him, looked at Xiao Ran and said, "Isn't Mr. Xiao preparing to sign a contract with a Japanese company after the holiday, how can he have time to play?" ”
Xiao Ran smiled: "Seeing that you are so tired, I don't dare to mention my affairs." We have just negotiated the contract, but we can Chinese the translation text according to our meaning, in English...... It is said that the difference in one word can make the meaning much worse......"
Li Li added: "It was the first time we were dealing with the 'great powers', and we didn't dare to be careless. Xiao asked me to find out if there was a suitable person in Shanghai to help? Make sure you're safe. It's really hard to find such a person, I introduced you, but I didn't expect you and Xiao to already know each other. He said to Xiao Ran again: "Look, will it be okay tomorrow?" Today, Miss Leung has only been busy for a day. ”
Liang Sishen glanced at Li Li fiercely, and saw that his face was full of anxiety for his friend, so he couldn't help but soften his position, and couldn't help but say: "I remember that on January 3, Japanese businessmen will go to the scene to discuss the final matters of the contract, and the time is very tight. Today, without further ado, Mr. Siu, please believe me, my position today is purely personal, and Mr. Li will not introduce the wrong person. Liang Sishen regretted it after speaking, she was aiding and abusing.
Li and Xiao both laughed, of course Li Li knew that this was because he had enough face. And Xiao Ran put down a hundred hearts, and couldn't help but reach out and tacitly pat Li Li's arm to show his gratitude. Liang's mother watched from the side, and said that her daughter was generous enough, so she let go of her worries and went upstairs to pack her daughter's luggage.
Li Li said: "You don't have a lamp in the study here, so it's better to go to my place or Xiao's place." ”
"No, you're not centrally air-conditioned, it's cold. Why don't you go home and eat first, and I'll slowly put up the lamp here. Liang Sishen glanced at his watch, "We started working at seven o'clock." ”
"We'll help you pretend." The two said in unison.
"No, it's not licensed, I'll have to do it myself." But his eyes looked at Li Li differently.
Xiao Ran smiled and said, "I'll go first and come on time at seven o'clock." ”
Li Li said with a smile: "My nanny is here, so I can only stay and eat." Master Liang always needs a handle, and I am competent. ”
Liang Sishen said in his heart, if he hadn't known who Xiao Ran was, he would have really been confused by Xiao Ran's performance today, it can be seen that everyone will be double-faced, and I don't know what Li Li's back knife is like.
It turned out that the table lamp was Liang Sishen received some broken or leaky Ming and Qing Dynasty thin porcelain, there are official kilns, there are also famous handwriting, but because of the broken phase, the price plummeted. Liang Sishen took advantage of the situation and carefully polished these thin porcelain, which were as white as jade, as thin as paper, as bright as a mirror, and as sound as a chime, and made them into lampshades. Li Li watched from the sidelines, and then he understood why Liang Sishen didn't let others do it. He was amazed, it turned out that Liang Sishen was playing like this.
Raising his head again, Li Li had to change his eyes and look at the furnishings in the house that he had never seen before. It turns out that this piece and that, the little things, are all condensed thoughts, and they all have ins and outs, which is not something that he tries to imitate a big outline can compare. For example, the Victorian round mirror, casually placed on a desk as big as a ping-pong table, and looking up when she is tired of work, it is exactly what the girl thinks. And a fist-sized Shoushan white hibiscus with the shape of the chapter by the way made a paperweight, people who don't understand may only think it looks good, but those who understand can see the Tao. And more are people that Li Li doesn't even know. He began to shame himself. He had always prided himself on his breadth of knowledge. He really didn't understand, how did Liang Sishen, a half-foreigner, know so many traditional Chinese things, how did he know that Liang Sishen had been lonely with similar good things for several years in his grandfather's house, which combined Chinese and Western cultures for Chinese use.
Li Li didn't know what else was there and what its origin was, so when he went down to eat and picked up the rice bowl and picked up the chopsticks, he couldn't help but take a look at it secretly, afraid of doing something wrong or saying something wrong, afraid that he would be ridiculed by Liang Sishen's mother and daughter as if he often laughed at the nouveau riche. Sure enough, Liang Sishen said that the chopsticks were ebony inlaid with silver, Southeast Asian goods, and "Dream of Red Mansions" Grandma Liu appeared when she entered the Grand View Garden for the second time. Li Lidu felt that he had almost become Grandma Liu who entered the Grand View Garden for the second time, and he didn't know what Liang Sishen thought of him. For the first time, Li Li was extremely unconfident.
At seven o'clock, Xiao Ran knocked on the door on time with his assistant. The four of them sat in the study and talked. The boss's desk is more than enough for four people, and the documents can be spread all over the table.
Liang Sishen first read the English document roughly to know that she could read English more easily than Chinese. After reading it, he translated the English and compared it with the Chinese text in Xiao Ran's hand one by one. But her Chinese vocabulary is not so professional after all, and she has to explain it all over again. Anyway, I really found two places that didn't match the number, but everyone felt that it shouldn't be a trap, but a translation difference. Li Li had to accompany him until eleven o'clock in the evening.
I thought that the control was over and the thing was done. Unexpectedly, Liang Sishen sorted out the English part in his hand clearly, and said to Xiao Ran: "I have a few temporary questions, I don't know if I should remind you." ”
Xiao Ran hurriedly said: "Please speak, I can't ask for it." ”
Liang Sishen said: "Look, here is a column, it should be your signature, but the problem is that you are not a member of the city's first machine so far." I'm just going to say just in case, if the other party to the contract wants to break the contract, they just need to say that your signature was a false signature back then, and therefore declare the contract null and void, have you ever thought about how to deal with it in the future? This situation can easily happen, after the joint venture, the foreign party can view the company's old files, and your identity change will not be hidden. ”
Xiao Ran looked at Liang Sishen for a while speechless. Indeed, Liang Sishen stood on a private position today, kindly prompting him, rather than denounced, so that he realized the seriousness of the matter. "I understand, I'm going to go back and hold on. What else? I don't know how to thank you for pointing out such a major mistake. ”
"No thanks. My second question is that there seems to be no specific rules for the introduction of advanced technology in your contract, whether it is the introduction of advanced equipment, or the training and study of Chinese employees abroad, or the joint venture and the joint establishment of a scientific research laboratory to study new technologies, this aspect seems to be clear, the effect is very different. ”
Xiao Ran was busy: "We are talking about the introduction of advanced equipment, staff training and the introduction of some parts that cannot be processed in China. ”
"Okay, I understand what you mean, I'll add it to you here, and you go back and fill in the Chinese part yourself." The specific matters of introducing equipment have been discussed earlier, and I will add some details to you, which you need to talk to the other party again. For example, when the equipment is installed, how many people come from outside, who will bear the cost, how many days to come, and how to calculate the cost if it exceeds a few days. How is the training and reception of Chinese employees? These small details may also be more expensive, so you need to be thoughtful when negotiating, including food, clothing, housing and transportation, after all, the cost of Japan is higher than that of the United States. In addition, it is recommended that you propose the establishment of a joint research laboratory, and mastering the core technology is the ultimate goal of the joint venture. ”
Xiao Ran nodded again and again, letting the assistant record. "Acquaintances are easy to do, but people who are familiar with the business can get things done. It's so important, I don't know how to thank you, Miss Liang. ”
Liang Sishen was angry at "acquaintances are easy to do", and his heart suddenly became disgusted, swallowed back the few words he wanted to say, and said with a smile: "That's pretty much it, in principle, you have all taken it into account, and I can only point out some small problems at most." I'm sorry, Mr. Li is so bored that he dozes off. ”
Li Li hurriedly smiled: "Where will it be, I will listen to a class in vain." In fact, we are not likely to ignore many major issues of principle, but we do not understand some detailed issues because we have not done them. ”
"That's right. Mr. Xiao, my teacher, you also know Song Yunhui, he has introduced foreign equipment and technology many times, and has been engaged in foreign trade for many years, he knows exactly what the Chinese side should do, only more pragmatic than me, if you don't worry, you can ask him for advice, he is also quite good at English. Liang Sishen wanted Xiao Ran to give in to Song Yunhui, and in the future, don't think about framing Yang Xun, and deliberately release the bait.
"Director Song who has eaten together?" Li Li thought of the director Song who seemed to be about the same age as him, but he didn't expect that it was a real skill.
Xiao Ran said: "Director Song is busy, but if there is something, I really have to find the door." Having said that, Xiao Ran was bound in his heart. After a face-to-face contact in Beijing, he knew that he was not Song Yunhui's opponent.
Liang Sishen got up to see off the guests. felt that although Li Li was still gentle, there was always something wrong, and she suspected that she was wrong with Li Li.
Mom was already sleeping on the new bed, but Liang Sishen couldn't sleep for a while. Today is said to be helping people to do things, but she hates the parties in this matter, and she is not happy at all after helping, even when she is helping, she has the urge to do small things, but for Li Li's sake, she simply suppressed the small impulses.
Thinking back to the contract quietly, I feel that there are many loopholes, and the biggest loophole is in the so-called technology introduction, which is actually only the introduction of core components. In the final analysis, it is equivalent to not introducing technology, but the Japanese side regards the city machine as an assembly and low-level processing base. But it seems that Xiao Ran doesn't care about her reminder that the introduction of core technology is the purpose. After thinking about it, she also understood that Xiao Ran's purpose was to make money, but technology research and development was such a money-consuming business, Xiao Ran didn't want to do it even if she digested the technology, she just wanted to exchange the right for money as soon as possible. What a short-sighted behavior this is, and only someone like Xiao Ran can do it.
Moreover, Liang Sishen could not think of the 51% control of the foreign party. Although the contract indicates that the general manager is appointed by the Chinese side, what is the use of the Chinese party who has not mastered the core technology, even if he holds a signed pen? Liang Sishen really can't see where Xiao Ran's so-called dominance is, this dominance is too vulnerable. And...... Liang Sishen thought of a trick she usually used in capital operations, and she forgot whether relevant matters were mentioned in the lengthy contract. She grabbed the curtains and looked out, the lights of the surrounding houses had been extinguished, and people were probably sleeping on this cold day. Liang Sishen had no choice but to give up.
In the final analysis, there is always a little unwillingness in my heart, with a little unwillingness to act for the tiger. Li Li's handsome face is not around, she can hold it.
When I woke up the next morning, I forgot about it.
