Chapter 029: Invincible
The same paramotor, 'buzzing' around and around, flew over the Heyuan City Library on the bank of the Mulberry River in the west of the city.
The free reading room on the west side of the first floor of the library.
A beautiful girl who was dressed simply but eye-catching was a little absent-minded, and when she heard this voice, she didn't have the heart to study, looked at the time, simply cleaned up the books in front of her, and said to the good sisters on the side: "Let's go back." ”
The girl is naturally a warm porcelain.
After meeting Su Hang in the library on the first day of summer vacation, Tao Nuanci was unable to come over for the next few days because he had to accompany his sister who came back from the United States.
Last Monday, that is, on July 10th, before leaving Heyuan to travel, Tao Nuanci deliberately squeezed out time to run and want to say goodbye to him.
But I didn't touch it.
After going out for more than a week, when I got home the day before yesterday, Tao Nuanci hurriedly came again. However, today is the third day, and someone still doesn't even have a shadow.
I met He Xinlei who came to borrow martial arts novels.
When asked, He Xinlei also said that because of Su Hang's proposal before the holiday, he had been to the library several times during this time, but he had not been able to meet it.
Could it be that something is going on?
This is an idea of Tao Nuanci.
Then, I felt that it shouldn't be, how could there be so many things, perhaps, it was just that he had other plans.
In fact, he has the address of his home, and he has also had ideas.
But......
Take the initiative to come to the door, that is too unreserved.
It can't be done.
Next to Tao Nuanci, Cao Wanwan, who had patiently accompanied her to the library for three days, listened to what her best friend said, and immediately put away the summer vacation homework in front of her, took off the headphones that had been playing pop music, and suggested: "Don't come tomorrow, right?" ”
Tao Nuanci hesitated for a moment.
Cao Wanwan's tone added a little unceremoniousness: "That guy is only three minutes hot, I don't know where he has gone crazy to play, only you are so stupid, I thought he would really come over every day to hang the beam and stab the stock." ”
Good sisters don't like to lower their voices when they speak, worried about affecting others, Tao Nuanci hurriedly got up, and said softly while walking out: "Su Hang is not like this. ”
Cao Wanwan followed Tao Nuan's side and motioned around: "Seeing is believing." ”
Tao Nuan porcelain was speechless.
Cao Wanwan suddenly laughed again, with contempt: "Maybe he thinks that the novel is too poorly written, and I'm afraid that you won't feel anything about him after reading it, so you won't come at all." ”
Tao Nuanci was dissatisfied: "You will associate blindly." ”
said that, Tao Nuanci couldn't help but excuse someone in his heart.
Actually, she didn't remember much about the novel. He's already so good, and the novel is well written...... Of course, it's good, but if it's average, it doesn't matter.
It's Cao Wanwan, because that day, she always mentions it.
Leaving the red brick building of the library, the two girls also looked up curiously at the yellow paramotor parachute that was gradually drifting away, and then went to Santana of Tao Nuan's porcelain house.
Cao Wanwan also instructed Sister Qin, who was driving, to go directly to Tao's house, planning to eat there at night.
You can also see foreigners.
The Santana 2000 shuttled through the uncrowded streets of Heyuan City for more than ten minutes, and finally walked along a specially built asphalt road to a large mansion in the upper reaches of the San River in the western suburbs.
More than ten acres of mansions built near the river, the gate opens to the east.
The automatic gate opened, and Santana drove into the house, through a white stone corridor surrounded by greenery, and soon arrived in front of a European-style villa with a south-facing area of at least 2,000 square meters.
Cao Wanwan pressed the window to look around after the car entered the mansion, and when Santana stopped, she got out of the car with Tao Nuanci, and the petite girl looked at the white-walled and blue-roofed villa in front of her, which seemed to be carved by a large number of huge stones, even though she had come many times, she still unabashedly envied: "I want to be Uncle Tao's daughter." ”
When Tao Nuanci heard this, he almost blurted out: My father doesn't like his daughter!
However, this matter is not a good topic at home, so stop it in time.
I remembered the day my sister came back.
Also standing in the small square in front of the villa, her sister said to the two classmates who brought it back together: A nouveau riche didn't know where to hear the foreign word 'baroque', so he also wanted to build one, and after calculating the expenses, he found that he was actually not so rich, so he could only choose 'simple' and 'modest' neoclassicism, and finally built a nondescript neoclassicism.
At that time, my father's face was black.
In this family, the first thing Tao Nuanporcelain admires is of course his father, and the second thing he admires is his sister Tao Nuanyu, who always likes to go toe-for-tat with his father.
When the two girls entered the hall of the villa, they immediately heard laughter in a small living room on the west side.
Tao Nuanci hadn't moved yet, Cao Wanwan had already walked over, and she had to follow.
When I came to the small living room, I saw my sister and two other girls sitting on the sofa talking about something, and each of them had a portable laptop on their knees.
Among the three girls, in addition to their own sister and another Chai Xi, who is also Chinese, the most eye-catching is undoubtedly the blonde and blue-eyed foreign woman next to her sister at the moment.
Tao Nuanci initially memorized several times before becoming familiar with the other party's name.
Veronica Perry.
Moreover, my sister is already 1.72 meters tall, this Veronica Perry is not only white and beautiful, but also taller than my sister, 1.79 meters.
Although my sister later explained that this was just the normal etiquette of foreigners, and asked her not to talk nonsense, Tao Nuanci was not stupid, and she could still tell the difference between normal etiquette.
But he didn't mention it to anyone.
After saying hello, Tao Nuanci walked to a single sofa and sat down, Cao Wanwan had already come to Tao Nuanyu's side, poked her head and greeted Veronica on the other side curiously and flatteringly: "Hello, Miss Perry."
Veronica smiled, but in Chinese, still quite standard Mandarin: "Hello, Wanwan." ”
A few days ago, when I went out to travel, Cao Wanwan also followed, so she was already quite familiar.
After greeting, Cao Wanwan turned to Tao Nuanyu, looked at the laptop on her lap, was numbed by the full screen of English, and shrunk her neck and asked, "Sister Yu, what are you doing?" ”
Tao Nuanyu, whose face is similar to Tao Nuan's porcelain but a little more intellectual and capable, said: "Summer vacation homework. ”
Cao Wanwan was very surprised, she knew what MBA Tao Nuanyu was studying at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania in the United States, but she didn't know that MBA couldn't escape this experience: "You also do summer homework?" ”
"yes."
Cao Wanwan looked at the English on the screen again, carefully distinguished it a few times, and then became a little dizzy, tried to turn her brain, and asked, "This, it should be called a thesis, right?" “
"Hmm."
"Can I know what it is?"
"You won't be interested," Tao Nuanyu said, but still replied: "This is a topic that the three of us did together, discussing the irrational expansion of some domestic enterprises. ”
Cao Wanwan was really not interested, but she still pretended to be curious and asked, "What is irrational expansion?" ”
Tao Nuanyu said: "For example, my dad wants to buy the fertilizer factory in our city. ”
Cao Wanwan: "......"
There's no way to talk about it.
Regarding Uncle Tao, who was rumored to have been in the underworld in the early years and is now in Heyuan Town, Cao Wanwan is in awe, but she doesn't dare to follow Tao Nuanyu's indiscriminate agreement as a daughter.
Speak of the devil.
While chatting here, someone came in the hall again, it was the head of the Tao family, Tao Bingli.
Tao Bingli is of medium height, wearing a white shirt and black trousers, and a pair of shiny leather shoes on his feet.
However, because his body size does not have the usual trend of middle-aged people of this age, coupled with a slightly black Chinese face with rough stubble, he does not look like a successful businessman at first glance, and is more inclined to borrow a set of decent clothes to enter the old rural farmers who are knowledgeable in the city mayor.
However, anyone who has been in contact knows that when Tao Bingli straightens his face, few people dare to look at the sharp eyes that are not angry and arrogant.
When her husband arrived home, Zhao Yi, Tao Bingli's wife, who was originally upstairs, heard the nanny's notice and went downstairs to greet her, followed by the youngest daughter in the family, 13-year-old Tao Nuanhua this year.
Zhao Yi wore a light blue homely dress, holding her hair in a bun, a little taller than her husband at 1.7 meters, her appearance looked less than 40 years old, her temperament was gentle and graceful, and anyone who had seen her could confirm at a glance where the three flowery daughters of the Tao family were.
Greeting softly, Zhao Yi took the briefcase in the hand of the young female secretary behind her husband, and when she saw her man turn to the small hall in the west, she followed.
Tao Bingli came to the small living room, glanced at a group of girls on the sofa, immediately disgusted, walked straight to the bar in the northwest corner of the room, picked a can of beer from the freezer, opened it, raised his head and drank it all in a big gulp.
Zhao Yi followed her husband to her side, and when she saw his appearance, she was about to speak, when there was a 'buzzing' sound outside.
Tao Bingli put down the empty can, looked up, of course he couldn't see the paramotor advertisement in the sky, but he finally spoke, and his voice was low and rough: "Zheng Chun is a letter ball, it's a hot day, who has nothing to drink liquor?" ”
At this moment, the room full confirmed that he was in a bad mood.
Tao Nuan, the youngest in the family, moved behind his mother without a trace, for fear of being seen by his father.
However, there are still thorns.
Tao Nuanyu, who was not affected by his father's aura in the slightest, lowered his head and tapped on the keyboard, while saying: "It is also a smart choice for small wineries to engage in off-season marketing in the off-season, and they can't advertise with those big brands in the peak season, right?" It's strange to fight too hard. ”
Tao Bingli listened to his daughter's yin and yang weirdness, and he couldn't refute it, so he could only stare at it.
Zhao Yi also looked at her eldest daughter: "Nuan Yu, take a friend back to your room." ”
Tao Nuanyu listened to her mother's words, got up with her laptop, and left the small living room leisurely, and her two friends hurriedly followed.
Seeing this, Tao Nuanci didn't need her mother to speak, and took the initiative to get up.
Of course, Cao Wanwan and Tao Nuan's paintings will not remain.
When the nanny and secretary also went out and brought them to the door, Zhao Yi asked her husband, "Haven't you talked about it yet?" ”
"City...... The finance is also short of money," Tao Bingli said: "Said that at least I want to take 10 million out, where can I get another 10 million?" ”
Zhao Yi was silent for a moment.
If it weren't for the news that the second daughter brought back before, the 30 million prepared for the purchase of the fertilizer plant would obviously belong to the municipal finance.
Now, definitely not.
After the evaluation of the professional team invited from the business, sure enough, as the news provided by the second daughter, the situation of the fertilizer plant was much worse than they initially expected, and if they did not carry out large-scale maintenance and transformation, if they really bought it, it would be a mine that would explode at any time.
However, if you want to repair and renovate, you must leave the 30 million.
After thinking about it, Zhao Yi asked, "How did you talk to the city?" ”
Tao Bingli said: "The fertilizer factory gave me, 30 million left, I promise to pay at least 6 million taxes every year in the next five years, not enough for me to make up, five years, it happens to be 30 million, the city will not lose." ”
Zhao Yi was thinking about it, and when she saw her husband take out another can of beer, she grabbed it casually: "It's too cold, don't drink it like this." ”
Tao Bingli stretched out his hand, but gave up.
Zhao Yi pressed the cold can in his hand and said: "The key is that there is a lack of money in the city, in this case, can it be partially transformed first and squeeze out 10 million?" ”
"You don't know the situation...... Tao Bingli shook his head: "30 million is all used, and it happens to be changed again." Or, if there are two lines of ammonium carbonate and urea, I can also give up one, then I can only start half of the work. There are 1,600 people in the fertilizer factory, and the city also requires me to accept them all, and when the time comes, if you think about that scene, half of them eat white rice, and the factory doesn't lose their pants. ”
Zhao Yi sold the dowry jewelry to her husband to do business, and after so many years along the way, she knew some business things, but she didn't know much, and she didn't know what to do at this time.
Think of loans.
However, more than half of the 30 million that was finally scraped together was already a loan, and there could be no more.
The husband and wife couldn't think of a way for a while, so they could only give up temporarily.
Zhao Yi was going to prepare dinner, and before leaving, she didn't forget to remind her husband: "Classmate Nuan Yu is here, you can speak more restrainedly, don't make people laugh." ”
"Jokes?" Tao Bingli sneered: "Am I blind as an old man?" It's all you, who took her abroad at the beginning, look at the present...... What's wrong! ”
"Nuan Yu became like that, it's not all because of you."
Tao Bingli glared: "What's wrong with me?" ”
Zhao Yi opened her mouth, she is actually a traditional to conservative woman, thinking about the fact that she has only given birth to three daughters to her husband over the years, and even made the Tao family ridiculed in the circle because of this, she suddenly lost her confidence.
Turning around and walking out, he dropped a sentence: "You think for yourself." ”
Night falls.
At the dinner time of the Tao family, feeling the surrounding atmosphere, Cao Wanwan regretted staying.
Still envious.
Sister Nuan Yu is really strong enough, and she is not affected by Uncle Tao's aura at all.
At the spacious dining table, seeing that the eldest daughter instructed the nanny to divide a separate plate for the foreign woman, if it was really just a distant visitor, it was nothing, thinking about the occasional small actions of the two girls, Tao Bingli responded in his heart, and said with disgust: "I don't know how to follow the customs of the locals......"
Veronica understood Chinese, and immediately looked at Tao Nuanyu pitifully.
Tao Nuanyu glared at his father: "You are enough, your business is not going well, don't be angry with us." ”
Zhao Yi interjected: "Don't be noisy, eat well." ”
Tao Bingli was silent, but Tao Nuanyu didn't let go: "It's a pit, if it weren't for Nuan Porcelain's reminder, you would have planted your head on this one, and you wouldn't even want to climb up." ”
Tao Nuanci has no scheming, and in the past few days, he was easily taken away by his sister.
Tao Bingli was not good-tempered, and immediately said: "I can't get up, can you be good?" ”
"I don't plan to return to China after graduation anyway," Tao Nuanyu said: "How are you, it has nothing to do with me!" ”
Tao Bingli raised his eyebrows: "Then don't spend Lao Tzu's money." ”
"I spent my mother's dowry."
Tao Bingli: "......"
Seeing that her husband was so angry that her chest was heaving, Zhao Yi was also a little angry, and glared at her eldest daughter: "Don't quarrel anymore, otherwise you won't spend my dowry." ”
In response to the sentence, Tao Nuanyu's momentum suddenly weakened, but he continued: "This kind of project should not be done in the first place." Heavy capital, long cycle, high energy consumption, none of which should be touched by our family. Moreover, even if it is done, there will be a more serious problem next, which is the deep binding with the locality. Because scale is an inevitable trend in the development of the chemical industry, it requires continuous investment for a long time. ”
Tao Bingli listened to his daughter's words, considered it in his heart, but said: "If you stay for a few days to study, you won't know how thick the sky is, and you will have one set of them." How can there be a good business in the world, don't do this, don't do that, let's go drink the northwest wind? ”
"The point is that some people don't know how to do it yet," Tao Nuanyu said disdainfully: "Looking at you today, I don't have to guess to know what the problem is." ”
"Oh, you've got what it takes, but you can talk about it?"
"The opening price of M&A consulting in Western companies is usually 1% to 5% of the total transaction value," Tao Nuanyu said: "Our father and daughter settle the accounts, and if I want to make an idea, I will charge you 2%, 600,000 yuan, how about it?" ”
Tao Bingli immediately lowered his head and began to eat.
Stinky girl, settle accounts with your Lao Tzu?
Sort of a fart!
At the dining table, Tao Nuanci, who had been eating obediently and not interjecting, heard this, but raised his head and blinked.
Think of that guy.
The advice he gave him at the beginning can be regarded as this ...... 'M&A consulting', right?
1% to 5%.
That's a lot of money!
Zhao Yi knows the temperament of the father and daughter, and no one can compromise, but if the daughter really has a way, she can't be vindictive, so she said: "Nuan Yu, say it, 600,000 mom will give it to you." ”
Tao Bingli raised his head: "Don't give it to her!" ”
Tao Nuanci, who was about to bow her head and pick up vegetables, raised her face again, because, listening to her mother's words, she thought that her sister could get 600,000 yuan, and she, well, would ...... for him There should be a copy, right?
However, look left and right.
No one pays attention to themselves.
Tao Nuanci opened her mouth slightly, afraid of being scolded, but she didn't dare to talk about it.
Tao Nuanyu saw her mother's promise, and she had already spoken: "Isn't it just a matter of money, we can only get 30 million, which is just to meet the maintenance and transformation of the fertilizer factory, but the city can't do nothing, this is the contradiction." If you want to solve it, it's very simple, just let some other people pay for it. ”
Zhao Yi asked, "Who?" ”
"Workers," Tao Nuanyu said: "Isn't there fundraising everywhere in China over the years, what a simple routine." Set up a name, for example, a maintenance fund, 10,000 per person, and more than 10 million in a blink of an eye. Moreover, according to the rules of mergers and acquisitions of Western enterprises, follow-up factories should be revitalized, and there is often a need to streamline redundant personnel, and I think domestic enterprises should be even more so. It just so happens that the establishment of a maintenance fund, the employees who can get the money stay, and those who can't get it, are laid off, and at the same time solve the problem of enterprise slimming. ”
Tao Bingli listened to Tao Nuanyu's words, and the action of eating suddenly stopped.
If this is not always angry with his eldest daughter, he will slap the table and applaud.
Wake up the dreamer!
Zhao Yi has not forgotten another question: "The city does not allow us to lay off employees. ”
"It's just a negotiation, there's no better of both worlds in this world. Let the city choose, either the fertilizer plant will go bankrupt and all 1,600 people will lose their jobs, or, according to what we say. Anyway, there shouldn't be a second person in Ha Yuan who can pick up the mess of the fertilizer factory, right? ”
Tao Nuanyu said this, and added: "I hope that this project will be yellow, 30 million, what can't you do?" Even if we don't do anything, it's enough for our family to spend a lifetime. So, Dad, from now on, as long as you follow me to think so, we will be invincible. ”
