Ling Er shook his head helplessly and followed him to Gao's house.

The pattern of the Gao family is the same as that of the Ling family, the only difference is the decoration, the Ling family's all-mahogany furniture, rare antique porcelain, calligraphy and painting, all of a sudden compared the Gao family.

"This is my sister-in-law," Gao Xiaofei pointed to a woman who came down from the upper floor and said to Ling Er, "Sister-in-law, this Ling Er, I told you before, my best friend." ”

"Yo, Xiao Er is you." The woman is in her forties, well-maintained, and her face is still very delicate, she shook the rag in her hand and said, "You see I just wiped it, it's wet, and there's no place to sit, or you can find a place to drink tea or eat." ”

"No, my house is right next to it." Ling Er said, "The two of us are also lucky, I didn't expect it to be a community, otherwise I wouldn't have had the opportunity to meet, I just said that you will all come to me for the New Year in the evening." ”

"It's a coincidence, big brother, don't be hypocritical with you, there are still patients in our family, it doesn't matter if you are your own person, it will be a little unlucky to go to an outsider's house, you don't care, we are embarrassed, we really can't go." The woman smiled and said, "Let Xiaofei go, you classmates get together and have a good drink." ”

Ling Er said, "We don't pay so much attention to it, the New Year, just to be happy, let the uncle pass at night, he is in a better mood, and it will also help the condition." ”

The woman was about to speak, Gao Xiaofei waved his hand and said, "He is my brother, I know him, he really doesn't pay attention to these things, otherwise, I can't agree." ”

After moving the things in the tricycle into the house, he had to go to the hospital to pick him up, and Ling Er had nothing to do now, so he went with him and drove his car.

Along the way, Gao Xiaofei babbled and explained to Ling Er about his situation for so many years.

Ling Er sighed at his good luck, the two brothers had stepped on the tuyere in everything they did, and it was difficult not to float.

"I knew that your situation would not be bad, and I got to the point where I got to this point, you must be better than me," Gao Xiaofei continued, "Seeing that you live in a villa, I am even more sure, in fact, I admire you, you can start doing business in high school, like us, you will be ignorant, except for eating is eating, and studying is not good, it is simply useless." ”

"Your family conditions are better than mine." Ling Er smiled and said, "It's not terrible to be poor, it's terrible that the poor person is me." ”

"You're still the same character, you haven't changed at all." Gao Xiaofei laughed, "I only now understand why so many girls liked you back then, you have a good sense of humor, study well, and you don't look bad."

I just don't understand, why are you not tempted? ”

"Everything has a season, and since it's spring, don't do autumn things."

If you come out to mix, sooner or later you will be annoyed, and if you can't put on a wedding dress for each other, don't unbutton each other's clothes casually.

This is the truth that Ling Er once figured out when he was lying on the hospital bed.

"You're still so mature." Gao Xiaofei handed it to Ling Eryan, and after being rejected by Ling Er, he lit one himself.

"Mature? Don't compliment me like I'm old. "Ling Er has lived in this area for so many years, and he is very familiar with the road, so he didn't need Gao Xiaofei to guide him, so he parked the car at the door of the hospital.

The snow was falling heavier.

The house was happy, because there were more people from the Gao family, and one table could no longer sit down, there were two tables in total, one table for women and one table for men.

The meal was eaten until about ten o'clock in the evening.

The happiest is the fifth child, she got several red envelopes, and the most generous is the Gao family, who actually gave a thousand yuan.

But he didn't think that his eldest brother would pay twice as much for it.

After eating, Ling Er hugged the two quilts and helped send the old man of the Gao family back.

"I'm sorry, I'll buy you a new one next time." The sister-in-law of the Gao family said ashamedly, these were originally what she should have prepared.

Ling Er smiled and said, "It's really polite to say this. ”

After sitting down at Gao's house, I drank tea.

Gao Xiaofei said, "I knew that I had installed floor heating like your house, but I didn't take it into account when I renovated it." ”

"It's too late to install it now, there is that kind of baseboard radiator, which is transmitted by the heat of the water heater," Ling Er said with a smile, "Although it is a little worse than floor heating, it is better than an air conditioner." ”

Gao Xiaofei said, "I'll get it after the festival." ”

Gao Xiaofei's eldest brother is called Gao Xiaohang, who is no stranger to Ling Er, and in order to thank Ling Er for taking care of Gao Xiaofei at school, he also invited him to go to the restaurant.

"Little brother, if you have anything to do in the future, even if you squeak, if you can't do it, I don't have the ability, don't blame me."

"Don't worry, I'm sure you're welcome." Ling Er took a sip of tea and asked, "I heard that you are going to take the land to do the project by yourself, do you have any difficulties?"

I'm not afraid of your jokes, I also did real estate in Pujiang, but I went bankrupt, and now I only have land and some properties in my hands. ”

"Then let's cooperate." Gao Xiaofei said unceremoniously, "Don't brag to you, my brothers and I haven't missed a deal on real estate projects." ”

"That's all right." Ling Er said, "When I go to work in the next year, I'll let people talk to you in detail, I really don't understand this part." ”

It wasn't until later that the Gao brothers learned that Ling Er was the chairman of the famous Unilever Group.

No matter how lazy Ling Er was and how he didn't care about the company's affairs, the habit of reading the newspaper continued.

The huge headline on the financial section, "From making 500 million a year to losing 10 million, how P&G fell into a debt crisis" caught his attention.

He himself doesn't remember how long he hasn't been in contact with Liang Chengtao, and the relationship between the two of them has not been eased because of the equity matter.

He invited Liang Chengtao to dinner many times, but Liang Chengtao did not agree.

Even when he went to the headquarters of Procter & Gamble Group in Jinshan, he was closed many times.

In 1993, Procter & Gamble Group's operating performance reached its peak, with a revenue of 3.751 billion yuan and a net profit of 598 million yuan, making it a leader in the daily chemical industry

Not satisfied with the status quo, Liang Chengtao started a diversification strategy, and further expanded his business to oral care products, cleaning products, feminine hygiene products, daily necessities, medicine, fine chemicals, pulp and paper, and real estate.

However, what he didn't expect was that diversity would become a poison.

With the intensification of competition in the daily chemical industry, the operation of Procter & Gamble Daily Chemical has shown an inflection point, and the revenue growth has shown an inflection point, and has declined sharply, showing negative growth for the first time.

Fine chemicals and pharmaceutical products have just begun to be invested, and they are gold-swallowing monsters, and if they give up now, there is no possibility of making a profit, and after they begin to barely maintain, their cash flow dries up and they fall into a liquidity crisis.

For the first time, Liang Chengtao had a sense of powerlessness, and the debt of up to 1.9 billion yuan was not something he could solve in front of him.

Unconsciously, he thought of Ling Er, if that guy was there, there must be a way....
