Chapter 146: Overseas Calls (3)
Shenzhen.
Before Hua Nianping entered the airport security channel, he set his mobile phone to the flight status. The China Airlines plane he took will take off from Bao'an Airport at 8 p.m.
He waved goodbye to Li Li and Han Shengmei, who came to see them off, and followed other passengers to the boarding gate.
Several other students from the central school of the research group, together with Chen Hongli, had set off from Yangcheng to return to Beijing two days ago. Because Hua Nianping accepted the invitation of Li Li and Han Shengmei, he came to Shenzhen alone and went to Walter Company for on-site research and inspection.
More than ten years have passed, Hua Nianping revisited the old place and found that the scale of Walter Company has become very large.
At that time, he interned at Walter Company in his fourth year of college, and his boss Han Xicheng was just in his early fifties, and his organic germanium oral liquid products were in short supply in the market, and his career began to reach its peak.
Today, Walter has expanded into a group enterprise, not only involved in pharmaceutical, hospital, printing, hotel and other project operations, but also took over a newspaper in Hong Kong and Kowloon.
However, in recent years, with the turbulence of the international export market, Walter's industries have successively faced the risk of capital chain breakage, and the company's survival has encountered an unprecedented crisis.
Sure enough, as Li Li said, when Hua Nianping visited Han Xicheng, he saw that although he was in the terminal stage of cancer, he still kept his cigarette in his hand.
Han Seung-mi graduated from a medical university in Beijing, and her original dream was to become an accomplished female surgeon. But his younger brother Han Shengtai has been obsessed with kendo since he was a child, and he has opened a five-way sword gym in Shenzhen's OCT over the years, and he has never been interested in taking care of the affairs of Walter Company.
As a result, Han Shengmei had no choice but to follow her father's wish and took over the management of Walter Company from the seriously ill Han Xicheng.
Although she tried her best and tried all kinds of means to make Walter Company make a comeback, all kinds of measures did not work, and she was exhausted after two years, and there was no good solution.
"Find a way to save Walter!" Han Xicheng took Hua Nianping's hand and pleaded, "Not for our Han family, just for the thousands of employees of the company not to lose their livelihoods." ”
"If it weren't for Sister Li Li willing to stay and help me, the group would have been closed and liquidated a long time ago!" Han Shengmei's expression was very sad.
She told Hua Nianping that a foreign-funded company once tried to win Li Li to take up the position of financial director with an annual salary of one million yuan, but Li Li categorically refused, and the offer given to her by Walter Company is very meager.
"Yes, Nianping!" Li Li said to Hua Nianping with her soft tone that is unique to Liu Mouying, with a tactful and bright smile, "I know that you have the ability, and you will definitely plan a new path for Walter in a short period of time, so that the company can turn the crisis into safety!" ”
With the assistance of Li Li, Hua Nianping proposed three ideas to Han Xicheng's father and daughter to improve the operation mode of Walter Company after two days of running and thinking.
First, reduce the type and scale of products, and centralize the unified allocation of funds;
Second, maintain good customers and avoid blindly accepting customer orders;
Third, carry out industrial transformation and highlight the upgrading of service business projects.
At the high-level meeting of Walt Company, Hua Nianping made a detailed discussion of his proposal, which was unanimously approved by the board of directors, members of the board of supervisors and senior executives.
Hua Nianping's leave was originally only one day, but now that two days have passed, he can't delay it any longer.
Li Li and Han Shengmei were reluctant and drove Hua Nianping to Bao'an Airport.
At the time of parting, Han Shengmei made an appointment with Hua Nianping, and she planned to go to Beijing in the near future to learn about the effects of a new anti-cancer drug from a professor at her alma mater for her father, hoping to meet him again in Beijing and listen to more guidance on Walt Company.
After more than three hours of flight, the flight finally arrived in Beijing.
Before Hua Nianping boarded the plane, he was sweating all over his body while wearing a single shirt in Shenzhen, and now that he is in Beijing, he is still a little chilly when he puts on a casual jacket. When I got out of the airport, I saw a cold drizzle outside. While waiting for the bus, he took out his windbreaker and wrapped it around his body.
In the early spring season, the temperature difference between Beijing and Shenzhen is particularly large.
After getting into the taxi, Hua Nianping looked at the time, and it was almost zero o'clock. By the time he returned to the dormitory at the Central School, it would take about an hour.
When he adjusted his phone to normal, he saw several missed calls popping up in a row. All numbers are the same. He wasn't familiar with it, so he didn't take it to heart.
However, when the taxi went forward for more than ten minutes, Hua Nianping still turned on his mobile phone again and carefully confirmed the number of the missed call.
Missed calls are made from landlines with area codes starting with "(01)415". Intuition told Hua Nianping that this number came from abroad, because the first place in the area code of all cities in China is "0".
Could this be Chen Hongjuan's call?
No! In Hua Nianping's mobile phone, there are several numbers commonly used by Chen Hongjuan in Tokyo and Osaka, Japan. In addition, the area code of Japan also starts with "0".
The mobile phone received an international call, the area code "(01)415"?
"It turned out to be her, Lin Si'er!"
Hua Nianping suddenly had a terrible thought in his mind, and he couldn't help but feel excited. He quickly used his mobile phone Baidu to search for the area code.
Sure enough, the call was confirmed to be from the United States.
Hua Nianping thought: If there was no particularly urgent matter, Lin Si'er would never be able to contact him easily!
After calculating the time difference, it is now noon time in the United States.
Hua Nianping did not hesitate to call back the call from Sanliang, and immediately heard a man's hoarse voice.
"God, someone is finally willing to answer the phone!"
"Excuse me, who are you?"
"I'm John Sr., John Kent, a retired bridge engineer!"
"Hello, Mr. John! You've been calling me a few times in a row, what's the matter? ”
"No, sir, I have nothing to trouble you! It was my clever curly-eared cat, who was a great messenger, bringing not only an expensive jeweled necklace from outside, but also a bloodstained note telling me two phone numbers for help from Hua Guo. ”
"Who is the person asking for help?" Hua Nianping's heart kept tightening, and he asked a series of questions, "Could it be a woman?" Do you know her name? What the hell happened to her? ”
"I don't know anything, I'm just calling for help by phone number." The other party replied.
"Unfortunately, the lady who received the first phone call did not understand any English. I can give you that phone number, and you'll have to figure it out for yourself. Remember, the person calling for help states that they can't call the police. As for the lilac gemstone necklace, although it was valuable, I didn't want to swallow it. However, I don't know who to return it to for the time being! ”
The man who called himself Old John gave him the phone number he had called for the first time.
Although Hua Nianping and Lin Si'er have been in love for more than ten years, they still have fresh memories of the Lin family's phone number, as for the lilac gemstone necklace mentioned by Old John, Hua Nianping remembers that Lin Si'er said that it was a gift from her mother many years ago.
When he was separated from Lin Si'er at Huaicheng Airport, he clearly saw her wearing it around her neck.
It turned out that there was no news of Lin Si'er for more than half a year, and something happened to her.
Hua Nian was so anxious that he asked the driver to immediately change the route and drive to the School of Economics of Beijing University as soon as possible.
