Chapter 210 Emergency situation, gang committing crime
After Fang Bai finished negotiating tens of billions of investment projects, the number of his contacts increased to 148.
The mayor, three deputy mayors and important leaders of individual departments contributed a total of 8 connections.
There are only 12 left to upgrade. Fang Bai plans to make more contacts in the near future and upgrade his ring finger to level 5.
At level 4, the physical fitness and favorability functions were added, which benefited him a lot.
He has a strong sense of expectation for higher-level gold fingers, and he doesn't know what level 7 and above are like.
It can be said that his current desire for Goldfinger upgrades exceeds anything else. If it weren't for this, after making so much money, he would just lie down and do whatever he likes.
Life is short, take pleasure in the moment, there is no need to work yourself like a cow and lose the meaning of life.
Of course, Fang Bai felt a little uncomfortable standing and talking.
He is no longer short of money, his wealth will grow more and more, and his family is happy. Although the family has had some troubles in the past, they have passed. Relatives and friends are pursuing or flattering him and his family. From his level, he has no respect for the past. It’s not that I don’t care about things, it’s that I’m too lazy to think about them and don’t take them to heart.
In this era, most families are still struggling to solve the problem of food and clothing, with an annual income of less than 1,000 yuan.
But his family lived a fairy-like life, saying that for the poor, the meaning of life has not yet reached that level. They only think about how to survive.
Especially this winter, I don’t know how many people are suffering from cold and hunger.
On the twenty-seventh night of the New Year,
Fang Bai and his family ate hot pot and talked about tens of billions of projects.
"Brother, why did the bank lend us so much money? Do you have such a good relationship with those bank presidents?" Fang Tingting listened to her family talking about business and knew that her family owed a lot of debt to the bank, which she could not imagine.
The family business is getting bigger and bigger, and she sometimes wonders how much wealth 100 million is, but she has a vague idea of this concept.
Anyway, she knew that many of her classmates in the school had difficulty eating meat, and a meal cost less than fifty cents. However, she had already lived the life of a young lady that her classmates envied. She was surrounded by bodyguards and a set of photography equipment cost hundreds of thousands of yuan. .
She is also a poor child, but her family has changed so much in the past two years. Sometimes she feels like she is dreaming, and she is also afraid that one day her family's business will fail. How will she repay these bank debts, or her family may go to jail.
Under the influence of her ears and eyes, she still understands some of the family business and has a broad vision. She is no longer the country girl who knew nothing two years ago.
"It's useless to have a good relationship. This is all a relationship of interest. Do you think that the ten points of interest a year are for free?
You just need to remember that except for your family, it's all about profit transactions, don't be easily deceived by rhetoric. "Fang Bai reminded.
"Brother, I still have some good friends."
“This is something I want to remind you in particular. If we met before we were developed, it may not be true;
What you know after becoming developed may not necessarily be false.
People change. You should be good at analyzing the flattery of people around you. Don't be condescending and don't think that you look down on others because they flatter you.
In short, you must be good at making friends with people who are honest and reliable, not just what you think is good. "Fang Bai taught earnestly, still a little worried that his sister would be deceived.
In her previous life, her family was poor and no one paid attention to her.
The situation is different now, someone must be trying to figure her out.
"Your brother is telling the truth. He usually has all kinds of tricks, so it's hard to deceive him." Liu Fengqing agreed with her son.
"Oh, I know, I will pay attention." My sister raised her mouth and listened to what her family said, but she didn't pay much attention to it.
Fang Bai glanced at it and sneered: "It's a fool's errand. I think you've been deceived a few times. It's better to teach you a lesson and improve your memory, so as not to suffer big losses in the future."
"Brother, have you ever cursed your sister like this?"
"Your brother is right. Once you have suffered a loss, you will know how important it is to be on guard against others; if you have been fooled once, you will know that you need to be careful." Mother said nagging, "When selling TVs, I received several fake bills from the beginning, and I will be reminded of this when I receive money from now on.
Now that my business has grown, I am worried that someone will make false accounts and deceive me. "
"During the holidays, let's work as a cashier for a few days to get some exercise." Fang Bai suggested.
When my sister heard this, she frowned instantly: "Wow, my God, brother, you can't treat your sister like this, it's still so cold."
She now regrets why she discussed the topic of loans when she had nothing to do, and ended up with a family targeting her.
"That's it, we'll go tomorrow." Fang Bai said lightly.
When my sister saw that her parents were silent, she knew that there was no way to escape this disaster, so just go and take it as exercise.
She originally wanted to sleep in for a few more days, but no one cared about her, how cool it was.
After talking about this, Fang Bai talked about the staff apartment.
A year ago, he promised employee apartments to Jingtian, Li Meng and other college students. This year, funds are tight, but he can plan to give the company's core employees something to look forward to.
Make a plan first, build it after one or two years when funds are sufficient, and obtain a house after another year.
My parents didn't have any objections. The employees paid the costs anyway, and the company just didn't make any money.
The next day,
Qin Shuyu and her mother-in-law went to the mall to buy new year goods, and Fang Bai accompanied them.
During the temporary Chinese New Year, business at Xinghai Mall was booming, and the management hired temporary workers to help. Many of these temporary workers were family members of employees.
The mall was crowded with people, and outside the mall, dozens of stalls were set up specializing in fructose, pork and other new year products.
"Abo, business is so good, the mall is packed with people." Chen Jiahui pushed the shopping cart and said to Fang Bai next to her with a smile.
Seeing customers walking out of the mall carrying large and small bags ignited the shopping desire of customers who were ready to enter.
Some people who have never been here are also very curious about Xinghai Shopping Mall.
Many people drove here from other places, and the business at the dock was many times better than usual.
"Auntie, it's Chinese New Year. In fact, every shopping mall is similar." Fang Bai replied with a smile.
Considering that the mall is crowded, a large number of temporary workers have been recruited and stalls have been set up outside the mall. At the same time, the number of customers entering the mall has been restricted. I am really afraid of accidents.
Especially if you bring babies and children, the security will give a special reminder.
"There are many types of goods here and the prices are moderate. Everyone likes to come here to purchase. It is so lively here. There is no such a big shopping mall in Shanghai." Qin Shuyu took Fang Bai's arm, really afraid that she would get lost.
"um, yes."
Fang Bai nodded. He plans to replicate Xinghai Square in Shanghai this year!
It was originally postponed, but since there is no shortage of funds, I am familiar with the leaders of the Shencheng government, and I finally have some background connections in the local area, it is also the right time to enter.
Today I went shopping with her, but my mother-in-law said no, she said it was unnecessary for a big boss to accompany her, so just let him go and do the work.
Fang Bai thought there was nothing wrong. He also wanted to go out for a walk and see the excitement. Spending time with Qin Shuyu was also with his family. There was nothing more important than this.
I have to say that business was so booming during the Chinese New Year that the daily passenger flow must have exceeded 100,000, so we had to queue to limit entry.
The turnover in one week during the Chinese New Year is equivalent to the turnover in the past two months.
Many businesses focus on the Spring Festival period of the year.
After experiencing booming business during the holidays, the company gained experience.
Therefore, the company management attaches great importance to the Spring Festival shopping in the first year. The supermarket also conducts a lottery. For any amount of one-time consumption, you can draw a lottery and the prizes are daily necessities.
Opposite the shopping mall, Xinghai Group has leveled an open space. There are dozens of stalls selling snacks and even more selling other New Year's goods.
Xinghai Company also does not charge stall fees. The only requirement is to clean up the garbage after closing the stall and not leave it randomly. At the same time, as long as it does not form bad competition with the shopping mall.
For example, selling fructose and pork, which are sold in the same Xinghai Shopping Mall, will definitely not work, and people from the industrial and commercial department will drive them away.
If you sell things on someone else's property, you'll have nothing to say if you're kicked out.
There are many small traders who take a fancy to the popularity of this place. They can't place them around Xinghai Mall, so they go to the pier and the industrial and commercial authorities don't care.
Many vendors have been selling snacks at stalls opposite Xinghai Mall for a long time. They know the rules here and know how to take away the garbage after closing the stalls.
The management staff of this shopping mall also told them that after Xinghai Plaza is put into use, the stalls and trucks must be unified and the sanitary conditions must meet standards. There will also be no stall fees. They hope they can do better business and jointly maintain this area. market.
The small traders didn't understand Xinghai Group's approach, so they made it for free at their booth.
In fact, this is what Fang Bai told the management: "You can make a dime by charging stall fees. Even if you do, just accept a token fee for garbage cleaning.
As long as the popularity of Wuma Street and other commercial streets is brought here, the most delicious snacks are in the Xinghai Square Food Street. As long as there are people flowing in, there is no need to worry about the mall losing business.
If the shopping mall is doing well and is popular, the surrounding land prices will naturally soar, and the income in the shopping mall will also increase. "
There were so many people shopping today. My mother-in-law picked out a lot of annual goods, filled her cart, and queued for more than 20 minutes to check out.
The whole shopping process took nearly two hours, which was quite tiring.
After leaving the mall, Fang Bai asked a bodyguard to drive his mother-in-law and Qin Shuyu home, and he accompanied them.
When they arrived, a female bodyguard drove them, and this one followed them in an SUV.
Nowadays, there are many people crossing the river, so you may need to queue up. Fang Bai drove in a large circle, covering nearly 20 kilometers more, but it was faster than crossing the river by boat.
It will be convenient once the bridge is built, it only takes a few minutes.
Some people just find it troublesome to cross the river. If they don't have many New Year's goods to buy, they just plan to buy them at nearby markets.
Fang Bai realizes this. Xinghai Square will be put into use early next year, and the construction of the bridge must not be delayed any longer.
The bridge construction project is not large, and it is expected to be completed and accessible in one and a half years, that is, in the second half of 1994.
At this time, Chen Jiahui was sitting on the Mercedes-Benz, touching the woolen seat cushion and praising: "Abo, this car is really stable, comfortable, and warm."
"Mom, this Daben costs one to several hundred thousand, of course." Qin Shuyu said with a smile.
Chen Jiahui's eyes widened: "Oh my god, it's so expensive. I thought it was only two or three hundred thousand more than Santana. Tsk, tsk, one hundred and hundreds of thousands, that's the total assets of a small company."
"Auntie, the imported car tax is high, but this car is just like that," said Fang Bai, who was sitting in the passenger seat.
About half an hour later, Fang Bai sent Qin Shuyu and his mother-in-law home to have dinner with his father-in-law and his family and talk about the valve factory.
Jiayu Valve Factory performed well last year, with 60 or 70 employees. It has its own products, but it still mainly produces OEM products.
Last year, the output value reached more than 3 million yuan, and the net profit after tax was about 900,000 yuan. The gross profit margin was not as good as before.
If we put it in the year before last, the per capita output value and profit would have been very good.
But last year, all valve companies performed very well, with profits doubling last year.
Prices have risen a lot in the past two years, especially for steel products, which have risen from a thousand to several thousand yuan per ton to about 3,000 yuan per ton. The fluctuations are very large.
The average salary of employees has also increased a lot, and the unit price of products has also increased significantly.
Especially pork, people complain that it is expensive. The year before last, pork belly only cost a few yuan. At the beginning of this year, it was less than two yuan. Now, it is more than four yuan.
Anyway, the price of meat has gone up extremely ridiculously during this time.
After Fang Bai inquired carefully, he learned that this year's supply by ticket was officially cancelled, and prices could float freely, so they suddenly skyrocketed. In addition, people's incomes have generally risen sharply, and many commodities are in short supply, especially pork.
What he didn't know was that in Shencheng these days, pork was selling for more than six yuan.
It’s too late to purchase food from other places. It’s the Chinese New Year and there’s a shortage of meat everywhere.
I don’t usually pay attention to the price of pork, and I didn’t see my parents tell me about it. I only found out today when I went to the mall with my mother-in-law to buy meat.
Supermarkets also sell pork. Pork is easy to sell during the Chinese New Year. Several stalls are set up directly outside the mall to sell pork. Customers buy more than a few kilograms, and rich people buy more.
Xinghai Company has abundant funds and ordered fifty or sixty pigs a year ago. The slaughterhouse is responsible for slaughtering and delivering the meat. Fang Bai saw the hot scene of buying meat and selling more than a dozen pigs a day was not a problem.
These things are the responsibility of the lower-level managers. Fang Bai doesn't pay attention to these things, and his parents can't control them so much.
"I made nearly one million last year, but I feel it's not as good as the hundreds of thousands I made the year before." Qin Donghai sighed. The labor wages are high, and other expenses are also high.
I originally wanted to buy a car, but I thought about it and let it go. The company needs money for development.
Fang Bai and his father-in-law talked about the expansion of the valve factory and the qualification certification. Only by completing the qualification certification can self-developed valves be sold easily. This is completely different from other industries.
Fang Bai stayed at Qin Shuyu's house until after nine o'clock before going home, and did not go to bed until eleven o'clock in the evening.
After an unknown amount of time, the wireless intercom placed next to the bed cabinet rang.
Normally, he would put the walkie-talkie next to the bedside table and activate it on his mobile phone.
He would turn off the intercom only when Qin Shuyu was there.
Fang Bai was woken up all of a sudden and felt a little unhappy when the bodyguard next door called him.
His two houses are connected together, and bodyguards live next door. Company employees live in the surrounding houses. The company is on holiday, and most of the employees have gone home.
The grassroots employees in the supermarket are all locals and rarely live here.
It was so cold that he really didn't want to get up, but after hearing the sound clearly, he suddenly woke up.
“Boss, boss, do you hear that? Do you hear that?
There are mafia gangs who are preparing to break into doors and climb into windows. There are quite a lot of people there. Please protect yourselves. Don’t go out. Don’t go out. Check whether the iron door on the stairs is locked. "
He said it three times in a row, and only after the third time did he wake up Fang Bai. (End of chapter)
