Chapter Twenty-Four: The Eternal Crisis
When: National Day
"Stinky boy, come over to me." Liang Xiu looked at Hong Yan who was weeding in the field and became angry.
"What's wrong, Mom?" This early in the morning, why is the anger so big?
"Do you know what day it is?"
What day? My parents' birthdays have passed early, and I don't know about other relatives' birthdays, is it a National Day?
"National Day?" Hong Yan replied timidly
"It's good to know, Zhou Rin'er rarely comes back from vacation, so you won't ask her out to play?"
He really hadn't seen Zhou Lin'er for a long time, and he heard that her grades were very good, and then he was taken by her mentor, and now he is helping out in her mentor's laboratory, and he is also very busy.
"Uh, well, I haven't been in town in a long time." Hong Yan happily agreed
"I really don't know what to say about you, go get dressed."
"I'm not a girl, what do I have to dress up?" Ran away with a puff of smoke.
Hong Yan went home and took a shower, changed his clothes, T-shirt and jeans, and he always felt comfortable in terms of dress.
Half an hour later, he appeared at the door of Zhou's house, and just as he was about to knock on the door, he saw Zhou Lin'er standing at the door.
Today's Zhou Rin'er is so beautiful, her already beautiful and agile face is covered with light makeup, and she is wearing a pink chiffon dress, which sets off her graceful figure even more, her long black and silky hair is tied with a ribbon, playful and cute, and her feet are really beautiful from the beginning, why didn't she find her so good at dressing up before?
Zhou Rin'er was so stunned when she saw Hong Yan.
"Uh, Rin'er, what's that ......" Hong Yan's voice was a little cramped.
"yes, okay." Zhou Rin'er smiled and nodded
Before she could even speak, she knew what he wanted to do?
"Let's go, then." Hong Yan said happily
An hour later, they appeared at the only amusement park in Qingyun City.
After playing all the projects such as pirate ships, roller coasters, and merry-go-rounds, Hong Yan was also full of joy when he looked at Zhou Rin'er with a smile on his face.
When the two were tired of playing, they sat on a chair on the side of the road to rest.
"Brother Yan, you taste my taste." As she spoke, Zhou Rin'er handed the ice cream in her hand to Hong Yan's mouth.
Hong Yan took a bite lightly, and then stretched out his hand to wipe away the remaining ice cream from the corner of Zhou Rin'er's mouth with great pity.
Zhou Rin'er's pretty face flushed, although she and Hong Yan have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, and have a history of marrying fingertips, but they have always maintained a brother-sister distance, and it is the first time that such an intimate and ambiguous move has been made.
Looking at Zhou Rin'er's little face like a ripe apple, Hong Yan actually had the urge to go up and take a bite.
"Would you like to try my taste?" The atmosphere was slightly awkward, and Hong Yan didn't know what to say.
"yes, okay." Zhou Rin'er looked at the ice cream in Hong Yan's hand, nodded slightly, and then took a big bite, this bite basically wiped out all the remaining ice cream, and Hong Yan was dumbfounded.
I just tasted it, but why didn't I have a bite at all? Look at Zhou Rin'er again, giggling, and at the same time, she kept her mouth open because her mouth full of ice cream made her feel too cold.
"No, you can spit it out for me." Saying that, Hong Yan pretended to pinch Zhou Rin'er's pouting cheek.
"Don't give it, Li Lai is the most." The ice cream stuffed in her mouth made Zhou Rin'er slurred, but it didn't affect her running speed.
After a day in the playground, they went out of the playground in the evening. The two walked on the street at sunset, the breeze caressed Zhou Rin'er's hair, she raised her hand from time to time to brush the hair between her eyebrows, Hong Yan walked aside, looking at her side face, Zhou Rin'er under the reflection of the sunset was even more charming and moving.
Suddenly, there was a tenderness in Zhou Rin'er's palm. Looking down, it turned out that Hong Yan had already taken her little hand like jade, and then looked up at Hong Yan, who looked at the sky and the ground like no one else. Zhou Rin'er's face turned red again, and she silently felt the temperature from her palm.
The two of them walked quietly like this, from the setting sun to the beginning of the lanterns, and now the two of them have one wish, to go to the old world.
"Hey, isn't that Nalan Muhan's supermarket? Let's go, go in and have a look. Hong Yan broke the silence and spoke
Zhou Rin'er nodded, and followed Hong Yan into the door of the Eternal Encounter Supermarket.
"Brother, why does this supermarket feel weird?" Zhou Rin'er asked, looking at the slightly empty shelves in the supermarket
Hong Yan also felt it, and as soon as he entered the door, he felt that the supermarket was a little depressed. But it shouldn't be, according to Nalan Muhan's feedback, the vegetables sent every day are sold out, and the payment is settled on time every day, so there shouldn't be any problems.
"Maybe that's hunger marketing." Hong Yan thought of a reason
"Let's go buy a bottle of water." Hong Yan said and walked to the freezer.
When I walked to the freezer, it was emptier than the shelves, and this hunger marketing was too much, something must have happened.
He was thinking when he was interrupted by a familiar voice.
"Hong Yan."
Hong Yan turned her head and saw that it was Nalan Muhan, but her face was really haggard enough.
"Mu Han, what's wrong with you?" Hong Yan asked with concern.
"Hey, it's hard to say, why are you free to come here today? Who is this ......? Only now did she find out that there was a beautiful woman standing next to Hong Yan.
"Hello Sister Mu Han, I'm Zhou Rin'er." Zhou Lin'er smiled generously and stretched out her right hand.
It turned out that she was Zhou Rin'er, and she had long heard that Hong Yan had a childhood sweetheart who was married to her, and she had never had the opportunity to meet her before, but today she finally met, and she is really as beautiful as the legend.
Nalan Muhan politely stretched out his hand and shook Zhou Rin'er.
"It turns out that you are just Zhou Lin'er, it's really better to see than to hear."
Then she turned to face Hong Yan with expectant eyes and continued, "Let's find a place to talk?" ”
"Then go to our side, our side is quiet, it's a place to chat."
"Okay, you wait for me, I'll go get my bag." As he spoke, he disappeared.
After a while, Nalan Muhan ran back.
"How did you get here?" Nalan Muhan asked
"How else can I get here, of course, by walking." Hong Yan glanced at her, does this still need to be asked?
"I said, you're too picky, no matter what, you're also a person with assets of nearly 100 million, and you don't even have a car." Nalan Muhan couldn't help but complain a little.
"I soak in the base every day, and I haven't gone anywhere, besides, my Xiaobai and Xiaohei are almost adults, and they can ride horses when they go out in the future." Hong Yan joked
For this answer, Nalan Muhan didn't bother to pay attention to him.
"Let's go, take my car."
An hour later, the few of them were sitting by the pool in front of the three-story building, and Zhou Tingxin was making tea.
"You take a look at this first." Nalan Muhan handed a document to Hong Yan.
Hong Yan quickly browsed it, and the general content was to carry out strategic cooperation with Hong Yan and give him five percent of the shares of Forever Meeting.
Hong Yan put the documents on the table and asked, "Didn't I say that I would only supply Eternal Encounter and Weimei within a year, and this is not a strategic cooperation?" ”
"That's right, the current contract is just an upgrade from the previous one." Nalan Muhan's words flashed.
How could her little heart ripple escape Hong Yan's eyes.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
Just like after a strong ideological struggle, Nalan Muhan bit his lips and said: "Recently, Yongxiangyu has been suppressed by Fujiale, especially since they have used some means to make most of the suppliers stop supplying to us, and our inventory has bottomed out, if it weren't for your vegetables to resist, we would have closed our doors a long time ago." ”
"Fujia Lejia has a big business, is it necessary to get along with you?" Zhou Tingxin was very curious, not only he was curious, but everyone present was curious.
"This has something to do with you." Nalan Muhan turned his head to look at Hong Yan.
This made Hong Yan a little depressed, he touched his head and said, "How does it have anything to do with me?" ”
"When the people from Fujiale came to talk to you about the introduction of vegetables, did you drive them away?"
"I see, in this way, it is a blow to you on the surface, but it is actually revenge on me."
Hong Yan still remembers the scene when Manager Sun came, and finally decided to supply Yong Xiangyu One of the purposes was to deliberately disgust that side, but he didn't expect the other party to hold a grudge, and the means were used so quickly.
"You can say that, but not quite." Nalan Muhan looked at everyone's curious looks and continued: "Although you are the main reason, but in the past few months, due to the introduction of the Lingxiao series of vegetables, the turnover has soared wildly, which has caused many of their customers to be attracted by us, resulting in a continuous decline in their turnover. As mall veterans, they certainly don't want to be dragged down. ”
"Damn, isn't that still my reason? I can only blame me for providing you with the food. Hong Yan was powerless to complain, and said that the responsibility was all on him for a long time.
Nalan Muhan was waiting for Hong Yan's words, she flashed her charming eyes and said: "Since you sincerely apologize, I will forgive you, but you can't just apologize verbally, you have to take action." ”
Hong Yan looked at Zhou Lin'er depressedly, 10,000 grass and mud horses galloped past in his heart, why didn't he know when he apologized? Zhou Rin'er looked at Hong Yan's deflated expression, and could only cover her mouth and snicker.
"And what do you want?" Hong Yan said
"With this contract that you just saw, establish a strategic partnership, and if you agree, I can also give you a 5% stake."
Nalan Muhan has worked hard to establish a strategic partnership with Hong Yan, and if this matter can't go as she wishes, it will be a matter of time before they close forever.
Listening to Nalan Muhan's request, Hong Yan didn't reply immediately, he picked up a teacup, got up and walked slowly to the edge of the pool, and then looked at the koi in the water in a daze.
I just kept watching, and there was silence all around. Nalan Muhan also knew that this was a difficult choice for Hong Yan, with the current popularity of the Lingxiao series of vegetables, the future could be described as bright, but the contract required Hong Yan to be the exclusive supply of Yong Xiang for three years, no matter who encountered such a thing, he also needed to weigh it carefully.
Time passed minute by minute, and it was a long process for Nalan Muhan.
"I can't accept your plan." Hong Yan said suddenly
"Why?" Nalan Muhan felt that he had given enough sincerity, and what he wanted was nothing more than an exclusive agent, and Hong Yan had no reason to refuse.
"I can make a slight change to your plan, though." Hong Yan said calmly
"How?" As long as we can talk
Hong Yan walked back to his place from the edge of the pool, and after sitting down, Zhou Tingxin poured his empty cup full of tea, and everyone pricked up their ears to listen to what he had to say.
"Based on my estimate of the market value of Yongxiang, it is worth 80 million at most, so I plan to inject 100 million yuan to acquire 51% of Yongxiang's shares. I only want shares, unless you do something that harms my interests, I don't interfere in how to operate forever in the future, you have the final say, how? ”
This 100 million shocked Zhou Rin'er and Zhou Tingxin, when did Hong Yan start to be so wealthy?
Hong Yan touched his head and said with a smile: "Don't look at me like that, although I don't have it now, I will have it in a few days." ”
Zhou Rin'er believes this statement 100%, because she has an indescribable sense of trust in Hong Yan since she was a child, and Hong Yan has never disappointed her.
At this moment, Nalan Muhan's mood was both excited and entangled, 100 million can solve many things for her, but if there is 100 million, why doesn't Hong Yan set up a supermarket by himself, after all, the five stores of Yongxiang now add up to less than 80 million, and he only wants 51% of her shares with 100 million.
"Tell me what you think!" Since he couldn't figure it out, Nalan Muhan asked Hong Yan to talk about his thoughts.
"I thought about making a specialty store for agricultural products before, but the manpower and energy were limited, and you encountered such a thing, so we simply joined forces. With this 100 million funds, I want you to improve the existing store structure within three months, and expand as many stores as possible, and then publicize the suppliers who make you stumble. In these three months, I will enrich Lingxiao's agricultural and livestock products, and there will be not only a variety of vegetables, but also several kinds of meat and fruits, with these, I believe that Yong Xiang will not be so easy to fall. ”
So that's the case, if the Lingxiao series of agricultural products is enriched, these alone are a huge turnover every day, for such a plan, Nalan Muhan can't be said to be unmoved, years of experience in the rivers and lakes told her that even if she was moved, she couldn't say it.
"I have no opinion on your plan, I will convey your intention to the old man after I go back in the evening, and he will make the final decision." Nalan Muhan pretended to be calm and said, in fact, he was already ecstatic in his heart.
"Okay, you have the final say."
Sent away Nalan Muhan, Zhou Rin'er and Zhou Tingxin didn't understand what Hong Yan thought, why didn't he do it himself or partner with someone else.
And the reason given by Hong Yan is also very simple, it is impossible to do everything by yourself, although the scale of Yongxiangyu is not large, it has also been operating in Qingyun City for more than ten years, resources, manpower and experience are ready-made, just be a hands-off shopkeeper yourself. And Yongxiang has a good reputation in Qingyun City, known for its high quality and low price, and the price of goods is the lowest in the city, which is widely loved by the masses.
I stayed up all night that night, and the next morning a copy of the "Lingxiao Agricultural and Livestock Products (Two Years) Development Outline" was placed on Yun Guoqing's desk, which happened to be the day when Yun Guoqing took office.
