Chapter 83: This Crazy Woman
The earth is full of spring, the warm sunlight reflects into the ward from the window, and the gentle breeze wafts into the room with the faint fragrance of flowers, diluting the depression in the room.
Shangguan and his wife looked at their daughter in the hospital room, saying comforting words, and between her frowning eyebrows and fine cold sweat on her forehead, indicating that she was enduring the pain.
Zhang Wanru could see from her godmother's red eyes that she was enduring great sadness. When they were escorted out of the ward, the old man's tears immediately fell.
Shangguan Mingyue was holding her mother's arm, and she was also in tears. They went to the reception room next door, and the director and attending doctor of the hospital came. They whispered to the old man about his condition.
A month later, during the period when the Shangguan family and the Lu family took turns to accompany the ward every day, Shangguan Mingzhu's life was about to come to an end.
On this day, after the doctor checked the room, the two families had all arrived.
Shangguan Mingzhu kicked everyone out of the ward, leaving only Zhang Wanru behind, and she asked intermittently, "Can you tell me, how did you save your brother and sister?" ”
Zhang Wanru understands that this is the secret she wants to know the most, and in fact, many people also want to know. I don't know how I got the pearl in my mind, and I don't know how to introduce it to them?
I had to whisper in her ear: "I have a mysterious space, and I can't tell the specifics." This space is more than 10,000 square meters, and I just put my brother and those weapons and safes into the space. As long as I live, they are very safe. So, it was also a gamble, and it turned out that I won the bet. ”
Although Shangguan Mingzhu was still very confused, he didn't doubt her words at all. Smile slightly with satisfaction. Then he said, "I want you to put on my makeup, just like you did last time." ”
Zhang Wanru immediately took out cosmetics from the space in front of her, first wiped her face with a basin of warm water, and began to apply makeup seriously, not only putting on a pair of long eyelashes for her, but also applying a touch of rouge and lipstick on her pale face.
He took out a wig from the space that he had never used and put it on her.
After putting on makeup, Zhang Wanru went out to find a mirror and asked her to watch it for herself.
At this time, Mrs. Shangguan, Mrs. Lu, Shangguan Mingyue and Lu Shiya also came in, and when they saw Shangguan Mingzhu at this time and the two of them before, not only did they not see any sickness, but they were charming beauties.
In the early hours of that day, Sister Shangguan passed away peacefully with a smile on her face.
Those present burst into tears. The scene was like a deep valley, and everyone opened their voices and cried. Her daughter, in particular, was crying so much that she almost fainted.
Zhang Wanru hugged her and was crying.
Qian Zhiguo also cried very sadly, as well as Shangguan Mingyue and Shangguan Liang.
Someone helped Shangguan Mingzhu's parents and Lu Lao and his wife into another room.
The medical staff used a white cloth to cover Shangguan Mingzhu and push him out of the ward.
In the following days, Zhang Wanru also guarded Shangguan Mingzhu with Lu Mingyu, Shangguan Liang, Shangguan Mingyue, and Lu Shiya.
On the day of the funeral, Zhang Wanru met her uncle, Mr. Ye; Mr. Niu and Governor Zhou of Fengcheng Iron and Steel Group, as well as the eldest sister and daughter Li Annan of the United States, and Lu Minghai's family.
Everyone was in a sad mood.
At the time of the burial, Zhang Wanru, Shangguan Liang, Shangguan Mingyue, Lu Shiya, Lu Mengqi, and Shangguan Mingyue's son Yang Xingyu all knelt down respectfully and kowtowed three times.
Zhang Wanru's kneeling is not only because people die greatly, but out of sincerity. During the time they spent with Sister Mingzhu, the two were like sisters who talked about everything. At the same time, he is also comforting the eldest sister who has not gone far yet, and he will definitely do his best to take care of Shiya, and the younger siblings at home, and he will also be filial to his parents.
Zhang Wanru accompanied the old woman at Shangguan's house for another month. After getting along with my godmother, I found that Sister Mingzhu's personality is very similar to this mother, she is an old man with a gentle temperament.
Zhang Wanru returned to Jiangcheng in July.
She first came to the vegetable processing factory, met Wang Zhiyong and Su Mei, and saw that many new workers had been recruited in the factory. And they are all busy, and have sorted out and packed a lot of goods.
Wang Zhiyong looked at her tiredness and said with a smile: "Now our vegetable brand has started. Some cities in other provinces also come to us to buy. The market is in equilibrium. Now some towns and villages in other counties have also put up a lot of greenhouses. It's just not like we are here. ”
Zhang Wanru asked, "Have all the agricultural technicians gone back?" ”
"We have to wait a few more months for the contract to expire. Now everyone has learned what they have taught. Let's get together in the evening. Has your mother-in-law been discharged from the hospital? ”
Zhang Wanru smiled and said, "Yes." Fortunately, I found it early, and I was fine. You ask Yuqing and Tian Kun to have dinner together at the hotel in the evening, and I'll go to the second brother to have a look first. ”
Zhang Wanru drove to the second brother's office in the city and met the second brother and Mayor Tang.
The two of them saw her and hurriedly stood up.
Zhang Wanru greeted Mayor Tang, and after the three of them sat down, the second brother went to make tea in person and asked, "Is Yuchen's grandmother okay?" ”
"Yes. Their family seems to have a hereditary system, and his father and eldest brother also have this disease. Thankfully, it was found immediately. Is this year's wheat harvest still going well? ”
Mayor Tang hurriedly smiled and said, "This year is smoother than last year. In our city, there is a plan to harvest the wheat fields with a relatively large area first, and then harvest the wheat fields with a relatively large area one by one after the centralized machinery is harvested at one time. At present, all the townships and towns are grouped together according to the contiguous land, and the grain is divided according to the land area of each family. The idea was also endorsed by the province. ”
The second brother put the teacup in front of his sister, and after sitting down, he also said with a smile: "Now some farmers have reduced their hard work, and they have also set aside a few acres, or more than a dozen acres of land, to build vegetable greenhouses, so that grain and cash crops are planted at the same time, and the harvest is also very considerable." Now that people are taking action, the economic income of each household is gradually increasing. ”
Vice Mayor Tang is very concerned about things, and knows that Zhang Wanru has just come back, and the two brothers must have something to say. said that there was something else to do, so he said goodbye and left.
Zhang Wanru took a sip of the teacup and looked at the second brother.
Zhang Bin knows what his sister wants to ask?
He shrugged his shoulders and said, "Last time I went to the province for a meeting, Governor Zhou talked to me alone. He said that the achievements I have made in the past few years can be mentioned. I felt that my enthusiasm for work was very high, and my ideas were also very realistic, so I continued to make some achievements according to this idea. I hope I will stay in Jiangcheng for two more years, which can be regarded as an experience. ”
Zhang Wanru thought to herself, everyone can see their careful thinking.
After three years, Jiangcheng City has undergone earth-shaking changes, and people with a discerning eye understand that if such political achievements are not big, then find a city to compare and see.
The current situation of Jiangcheng City is here, and agriculture can only be developed, and now agriculture is not developing well enough? They just want the second brother to stay and do more. In other words, I hope that my second brother and I will stay in Jiangcheng City and add to the city.
glanced at the second brother and asked tentatively, "Have you ever thought about how you will develop next?" ”
The second brother sighed and said, "We have been discussing it for several months. It seems that the agricultural sector has reached a bottleneck, and we can only find ways to attract investment and bring in some enterprises. However, this is not an ordinary difficulty. ”
Zhang Wanru pondered for a while and said: The idea is right. I think, why do you always think about bringing outsiders in, instead of thinking about developing existing enterprises well?
Jiangcheng City, there is no decent enterprise, why should people come here to develop. Not everyone wants to be the first to eat crabs. This is a big granary, so open a few more flour mills and food processing factories to sell flour food to more cities.
There are textile factories here, or factories that have been around for nearly a hundred years, and there are large cotton fields planted near the Yellow River, so why not support the textile mills, and at the same time drive the enthusiasm of cotton farmers. Just think about attracting investment, but you have something attractive to do. If you weren't here, I wouldn't have come here to invest. Before doing anything, it is necessary to make an assessment of the environment and whether there is any potential for development.
The second brother also felt very reasonable when he listened to Wanru's words, the key is that after so long, no company has been willing to come over.
After thinking for a while, he asked, "What do you think?" ”
Zhang Wanru really thought about it. When she was in the United States, she went to many cities to understand the market, and she still has a soft spot for clothing. I started from the clothing business, and I also thought of Ji Yuqing's garment factory.
In the textile factories in Jiangcheng City, the raw materials for weaving cloth are locally grown cotton, and they also have garment factories in the factory, but the scale is too small and they are not well utilized.
Glancing at the second brother, he said, "You ask a few food processing factories in the city to send people to study in other places, or hire people with the ability to come over and build a food processing factory first." Secondly, cotton is grown in large quantities, allowing textile mills to buy state-of-the-art machinery to expand production. Their factory, I have bought a lot of cotton cloth, the product is too single, if it can be woven in the most popular denim, there will be a good market for ready-to-wear. ”
The second brother frowned and said lightly: "If they have that ability, they won't be unable to pay their salaries." It's like developing vegetables, you can't do anything without money. We've done our investigations, and the mills are now on the verge of bankruptcy. The trouble of domestic and foreign debts. ”
Zhang Wanru rolled her eyes at him and said helplessly: "You people, the ones who will solve the trouble to put it bluntly." Is the power in your hands for the sake of good looks? Now that our brothers have a beginning, if we don't continue to do well, we will be anticlimactic again. Lu Lao also knows what you are doing here, and he also said to me, you have done a good job, let you do it boldly, as long as you don't violate the rules, you will do it if you think about it. ”
The second brother said embarrassedly: "The land near the Yellow River in our city can only grow cotton because of the soil problem, so some people in the vicinity have been planting. It was also there that the raw materials for the textile mills were supplied there during these years. However, because the efficiency of the textile industry is not very good, the cotton cannot be sold after planting, or it is only given a white strip when it is sold. So a lot of people are not motivated. ”
Zhang Wanru rubbed her eyebrows, looking impatient, it seemed that she still needed to invest. Now that vegetables and breeding are considered successful, Wang Zhiyong can have fun. Real estate has Ji Yuqing and Tian Kun, and he has to develop towards cotton planting and textiles next.
After thinking about it, he said: "As far as I know, the quality of cotton in rice is excellent, and when the Spring Festival comes, I will go to investigate it again and buy some cotton seeds from there to try planting." You don't need to attract investment, I'll invest in textile factories. But you just need to know about it, I need to understand it clearly, and then make a plan. You have to audit the textile mills to see how they are doing. Tell me about their products and all the situations. ”
"Okay. I'll do it as soon as possible. If we understand it clearly in the second half of the year, we must also be prepared to mobilize farmers to grow cotton next year. Can you find a few more experts in this area when the time comes? ”
The corners of Zhang Wanru's mouth rose, thinking, you have finally been smart once.
said: "That's for sure. Textile mills and cotton complement each other, and neither link can be played without one. When the time comes, put on denim. Only denim can bring a textile mill back to life. Weaving cotton cloth every day, making a bed sheet and quilt is not bad for many years, and the denim series of clothing is worn for a few years, even if it is not bad, it is generally no longer worn, and the market is relatively wide, and many people are almost wearing it. ”
"Okay, just do as you say. In the second half of the year, you won't leave again, will you? ”
Zhang Wanru took a sip of tea and said, "It stands to reason that I have to go back to the United States." Yuchen and Yulu are admitted to college, and I need to send them to school. Forget it, let that be seen. I'll go back during the Spring Festival. ”
"Follow me home if it's not early, and ask your sister-in-law to cook something for you." Let's discuss it, how about it? ”
"There was no time. In the evening, I asked Ji Yuqing to have dinner with them. How did Wen Jun do in the exam this year? ”
"I did well in the exam, I went to the south and was admitted to the undergraduate. Her niece, Wen Jing, was admitted to the Public Security University last year. The two in your family are four years younger than Wen Jun, but they were also admitted to college. My dad also called me and said it was a famous university. You barely worry about them. These two kids are really sensible. ”
Zhang Wanru said helplessly: "No way, this is fate." They can see the situation clearly, and they are forced out. Alright, it's time for me to go. ”
Zhang Wanru drove to the Equatorial Garden, and saw that the buildings here had all been erected, and the exterior walls were painted with beige exterior walls, and regular lines were made, which looked like marble tiles from a distance, which was very beautiful.
She drove back to the hotel of the vegetable processing factory, where Ji Yuqing and Tian Kun had already arrived and were chatting with Wang Zhiyong over tea.
Zhang Wanru walked in, and Tian Kun said with a smile: "Miss, I haven't seen you for more than half a year." Don't you want us? ”
Zhang Wanru sat down with a smile and said, "Are you still a three-year-old child?" Look at your red face, you can see that you eat well and sleep soundly. I just went to the Equatorial Garden to take a look, the exterior walls and windows are ready, what is the situation inside? ”
Ji Yuqing said with a smile: "There is also a part of the floor that is being laid. Heating and gas pipes, water pipes, wiring are being installed. It will be completed by the end of the year. It has been open for two months now, and at 9,000 yuan per square meter, one-third of it has been sold. ”
Tian Kun said with a smile: "Now most of the workers are going to build office buildings. Striving to do the main project this year, Yuqing is taking people to measure and plan the staff dormitory building in the city. After the drawings were drawn, the underground garage was dug up. Construction can begin in the spring of next year at the latest. ”
Wang Zhiyong asked the kitchen to serve the food as soon as possible. Then he looked at Zhang Wanru and said, "We are delivering food to the troops, last time I went to see that General Zhu, and he also asked you." ”
"Didn't you say anything?"
"No, I told him, you're not in the country."
"In a few days, 200 tons of wheat, more than 100 tons of corn, and 50 tons of soybeans will arrive," Zhang said. We can also make a lot of money by selling it this time. It's not easy to do anything now, since you have a career to do, cherish it. Some farms in the country are privately owned, and some are not having a good time. Yang Kuan has now also started growing vegetables. As we do here, growing food is not as profitable as vegetables. ”
Tian Kun said with a smile: "Haha, I am very content, I have been busy for more than two years, and I will be able to double the money I invested this time." It's more than my dad earns every day, busy in the dark for more than ten years. Did the three of you earn your vegetables last year? ”
Wang Zhiyong said with a smile: "Yes, vegetables seem to have very thin profits and are easy to spoil. It depends on how it works. There is Wanru's calculation, not to mention us, even all the vegetable farmers and farmers have also earned money. I handed over all the family property to my younger brother. Give me 30% of the profit every year is fine. Our family bought two houses in Equatorial Garden and settled down. ”
Ji Yuqing hurriedly said, "Wanru, what do you think?" Otherwise, all three of us will set aside a set and move in after renovating. ”
After everyone started eating, Wang Zhiyong filled everyone with wine, and said with a smile: "This year is the first time to drink together, come on." ”
Everyone took a sip after raising their glasses, and looked at Zhang Wanru while eating.
Zhang Wanru said with a smile: "I think so too, no matter what the situation, let's settle down first." I think I'm going to stay here for many years. Because I'm going to enter the textile industry. Not only weaving denim, but also making ready-to-wear clothes. The next step is no easier than developing vegetables. From now on, the three of you should think about whether or not to participate in the shares. ”
Zhang Wanru's words were amazing, which made the three of them star, and they were a little confused for a while.
Zhang Wanru picked up the wine glass and gestured to everyone, took a sip, picked up a piece of chicken and ate it, observing everyone's reactions.
Ji Yuqing asked puzzledly, "Why did you think of this?" This is not an ordinary trouble, especially the out-of-the-box market. It's terrified when I think about it. ”
Zhang Wanru smiled reluctantly, thinking, I was also scared, but I had to send it when I was ready to fly. You can't just toss around here for a few years and leave in disgrace, right?
Seeing that everyone was waiting for their answers, I had to say: Over the years, I have also inspected the market, and many businesses have their ups and downs. Only what you eat, you can't wear it at any time. We can't do high-tech, and we don't have the ability to do bigger business, so start from the simple needs of life and do what we can.
It's certainly not easy to do a good job, but we are all highly educated people, and it is not in our character to be afraid before we do something. Let's just talk about vegetables and breeding, at the beginning, although I swore to make a commitment to vegetable farmers, I didn't have much confidence in my heart. Isn't it doing a really good job now?
Everyone knows that this is the case. However, there is nothing wrong with doing anything risky.
Ji Yuqing was thinking, his family is a garment maker, should he start a textile factory with this crazy woman again? Then again, once she has made up her mind, no one can change it, as if she hasn't failed yet. The vegetable processing factory itself only needs two shares, and now it seems that it is a bit of a loss.
Tian Kun said with a smile: "Haha, I'm also like Wang Zhiyong, and I'll stay here in the future." When the time comes, I will also join in and advance and retreat with our eldest lady. ”
Zhang Wanru hurriedly said: "Thank you, don't be in a hurry to express your position, you must think clearly." Again, I'm not completely sure. And now there is only this idea, and how exactly it will be operated is still up for debate. I have asked my second brother to investigate the textile factory in the city, and it is said that the factory is now on the verge of bankruptcy. If it's appropriate, we'll buy it; If it is not suitable, we will start our own textile factory. Specialized in weaving denim, and then opened a garment processing factory. In the future, I will be fully responsible for the sales problem. ”
Wang Zhiyong had already made up his mind, and he would also participate in it this time, and after knowing Zhang Wanru's connections, he had absolute confidence in her.
Hurriedly smiled and said: "Haha, no matter what, as long as you want to do it, I will also strongly support you, and I will also participate in the advance and retreat with you." ”
Ji Yuqing saw that everyone had expressed their positions, and thought that it was right to support him if he didn't earn money, and he was not short of money now.
also smiled and said: "Speaking of which, I led Wanru into the clothing business." Now her heart is getting higher and higher. Not only do you have to make your own clothes, but you also have to spin and weave cloth. It's a big project. Haha, I also support it and participate in it. ”
He said so on his lips, but in his heart he said, this crazy woman, don't think about saving money in your hands. I have to take it out and toss it all.
Zhang Wanru also saw that Ji Yuqing was a little reluctant, in fact, everyone here didn't know how many secrets Miss Ben had, and she now had more than 500 million dollars alone. That time, I locked myself in the room and counted the money until I was soft. What's more, I still have a gold mountain that has not been developed, and those raw materials, gemstones, and jade, each of which is sold at a very high price.
Seeing everyone looking at themselves, he grinned and said, "Haha, with your support, I will have no hesitation." From now on, you guys do your own thing, and I'll get to work. In fact, my philosophy is that no amount of money left to the children is more valuable than leaving the property to the children. While the industry leaves wealth to the children, it will also leave the children with responsibilities. I don't think you want your children to be the second generation of rich people and become young masters who eat, drink and have fun, right? ”
Everyone agreed.
