Chapter 42 Completed
“Ah~~~”
The sharp and piercing scream woke An Rusong from his deep sleep.
The scream was too sharp, mainly because it was too familiar. As long as An Rusong heard this sound, his scalp would feel numb, and he would have an urge to hit someone. ,
He stared at the roof in a daze for a while, until the scream of "Ah" sounded again, he held up his hands, rubbed hard on his numb face, and suddenly turned over from the bed He sat up, barefooted, and rushed out of the bedroom.
In the living room outside the bedroom, Sun Manzhu was pressing her stepmother on the sofa and ravaging her. A yellow screaming chicken half as tall as a person was half-hugged and half-hugged between her arms, and it was moving towards her stepmother. Li Caicao hit Li Caicao on the sofa.
Every time she hit it, the screaming chicken let out a piercing scream, and the sound was extremely cruel.
An Rusong ran over in a few steps. Amidst Sun Manzhu's screams, he picked her up without any explanation and slapped her on the butt.
Seeing Sun Manzhu being spanked, Li Caicao, who had become more and more courageous in recent days, actually giggled on the sofa. As a result, her laughter seemed to anger Sun Manzhu. The woman did not dare to get angry at An Rusong, but after he let her go, she threw herself on her stepmother with all her teeth and claws, and tore her into a ball.
Recently, the relationship between the nominal mother and daughter seems to have eased a lot. Although it cannot be called harmonious, at least it is no longer as incompatible as it was before.
An Rusong had a vague suspicion that Sun Manzhu might have noticed some kind of ambiguous relationship between herself and Li Caicao, but the woman did not expose it and still pretended not to be aware of it.
Never think that a woman is a fool. On the contrary, their intuition is often astonishingly sharp. The three of them live under the same roof. Li Caicao hates the world and Sun. Even if Manzhu is innocent, it is impossible for her to be unaware.
But having said that, An Rusong's attitude towards this woman is now slightly different. To be precise, since he handed the IOU to this woman, he has given it to her. The other party has more choices.
Now, the operation of the toy factory is on the right track. Since the first episode of "Two Days and One Night" was broadcast last Friday afternoon, the shipment volume of Screaming Chicken has entered a blowout period.
Currently, the retailers who have placed orders with the factory are not limited to the Seoul area. A large number of retailers have made calls in metropolitan cities such as Busan, Daegu, and Incheon.
In addition, in order to open up as many sales as possible, An Rusong also rented storefronts on Amazon and eBay and put all three Screaming Chicken products, large, medium and small, on them. However, due to the impact of logistics freight, the items ordered online The prices are relatively high, so the sales volume is not high, and the ones sold are basically large screaming chicken toys.
The biggest problem facing the toy factory now is limited production capacity. There are only a dozen workers in the whole factory and there are only six molding machines. Even if they are running 24 hours a day, how high is the production capacity?
So, the current embarrassment faced by toy factories is that they dare not take orders casually, and they cannot put money in their pockets because they simply cannot put it in their pockets.
There are only two solutions to this situation: first, expand the scale of the toy factory, but this solution is long-term and cannot solve the immediate problem. Second, look for OEMs and increase the factory's supply capacity by giving up part of its profits.
Actually, if An Rusong were to make the decision, he would choose two methods at the same time. While looking for OEM companies, we also borrowed money from banks to purchase new equipment and build a new factory.
An Rusong also talked with Sun Manzhu about these ideas, but the latter obviously had reservations about expanding the scale of the toy factory - it is really difficult for a person who has been cheated by loans to expand the scale of the toy factory in the short term. After accepting another loan, An Rusong understood her, so he did not force her to accept his suggestion on this matter.
As for finding an OEM company, Sun Manzhu would certainly not object, so this is what An Rusong is planning to do recently.
To be honest, An Rusong has no ambitions for the DreamToys toy factory. Last month, if it weren’t for the day he was about to resign, Zhao Chenghao and the others happened to go to the factory to collect debts. Today, He might have gone the other way long ago.
The reason why he participated in the troubles that Sun Manzhu encountered at that time was because he really needed money at that time. Even a mere month's salary was very necessary for him. .
As for now, if he was really the kind of person who drew his gun and was ruthless, he would have walked away long ago, at most taking with him Li Caicao who was completely dependent on him.
In today's era of booming Internet, almost all opportunities for getting rich are hidden in the network that connects the world. Only virtual wealth has the possibility of rising.
As for the toy factory, it is an industry. Every penny must be earned through hard work. Its value-added is too slow and the cycle is too long.
It’s not that An Rusong doesn’t want to touch industrial things, but he has to complete sufficient capital accumulation before he can reach out to that field. There is a problem of sequence here and cannot be confused. . After watching Sun Manzhu and Li Caicao fight for a while, An Rusong dissuaded them. The three of them had a simple breakfast, and An Rusong went out before nine o'clock and went straight to the toy factory.
This morning, people arranged by Mike will go to the factory to pick up the goods. Although Mike himself will not be there, An Rusong still has to go and watch in person. This is a matter of attitude. .
In addition, Son Manju also received a call from the Seoul Local Taxation Office yesterday, saying that today the seventh investigation team of the taxation department will arrange people to go to the factory to conduct an investigation. Therefore, as the former president of the toy factory, Son Jiji The only legal heir, Sun Manzhu, must be present.
South Korea’s inheritance tax is ridiculously high, with a tax rate of 50% and a threshold of 50 million won.
The reason why the Tax Department came to investigate Sun Manzhu is because she involved a huge debt in the process of paying inheritance tax. Not only that, this huge debt also involved "registered" people. The so-called violent organization.
Since Son Ji-je committed suicide, and at the same time, the huge debt of 2 billion won that he owed after his death was also inherited by his daughter, therefore, after discounting the debt, Son Ji-je’s estate needs to pay inheritance tax There are only a handful of parts.
The Seoul Local Taxation Office doesn’t care whether Son Ji-ji’s debt is a loan shark, nor does it care whether Son Man-joo is related to gangsters. They just want to know whether this woman has evaded taxes.
Of course, Sun Manzhu is not afraid of people from the tax department coming to check her now, because all the necessary materials and account books have been prepared. Among them, there is even help from Shen Tai'an. If the local tax department has If something goes too far, lawyers will naturally come to trouble them.
Just as Shen Tai'an had judged before, the people from the local taxation department spent the whole morning in the toy factory, asking questions, checking this and that, and they went through a lot of trouble, but in the end they got nothing. .
In the end, after An Rusong pointed out that their investigation had affected the normal production of the factory, the investigators from the tax department reluctantly took the materials and left - in South Korea, if you want to avoid being If the tax department is looking for trouble, the best way is not to pay taxes in accordance with the law, but to make friends with some senior officials, hire some accountants, and hire some big lawyers.
At dusk, Seongnam City, Gyeonggi Province, next to Seoul.
The seven-seater Hyundai is speeding on the Qingxi Mountain Road, which is not very spacious. Outside the car window, there is the Dawang Reservoir rippling in the sunset.
In the car, Zhao Chenghao pursed his lips tightly and had a serious expression on his face. Beside him, An Rusong was leisurely browsing the scenery outside the car.
Just when the car reached the roundabout of Qingxishan Coloane Reservoir, the driver turned the steering wheel and instead of continuing to drive west along the road, he drove north onto a fork in the road. Then, he could not move forward. After twenty or thirty meters, we stopped in front of a villa surrounded by green brick walls and shadows of trees.
The gate at the entrance of the villa is open, but the courtyard inside the gate is not very big and there is not much parking space. Therefore, the driver can only park the car outside the gate.
Zhao Chenghao was in a low mood at this time. When his younger brother opened the car door, he remained motionless in the car until An Rusong pushed him, and he reluctantly Got out of the car.
Today is the day when An Rusong will hand over the source code program of the Huapai website. Liu Taihe is very happy and specially made an appointment for them to meet here.
The two got out of the car, and Zhao Chenghao walked into the villa in silence. An Rusong followed him, and then entered the courtyard of the villa. They saw a man wearing a plaid dress on the second-floor terrace of this European-style villa. Liu Taihe, who was wearing a short-sleeved shirt, was standing by the guardrail with a woman in his arms. When he saw the two walking into the yard, he waved downwards. He held up his hand and said with a smile: "Rusong, come up quickly, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
An Rusong quickly pushed Zhao Chenghao who had stopped. The guy upstairs did it purely on purpose. , he came in with Zhao Chenghao, but this guy only greeted him and completely ignored Zhao Chenghao beside him. This was not only a deliberate attempt to anger Zhao Chenghao, but also an attempt to sow discord between An Rusong and Zhao Chenghao.
Fortunately, Zhao Chenghao also knows how to control his emotions. To put it bluntly, Liu Taihe just can't see him. He himself knows this. The conflict between the two of them is based on the strong one's unabashed love. Despise the weaker party, and the weaker party knows that he is weak, but still refuses to bow his head.
At the entrance of the villa's small building, there was a maid in servant clothes. The two of them were led into the building and took the stairs to the second floor.
Going up to the terrace on the second floor, An Rusong discovered that it was ridiculously spacious. There was not only a swimming pool on the entire terrace, but also a small golf driving range. The most important thing was, standing on the terrace On the top, you can overlook the entire Dawang Reservoir, and the scenery is simply not good.
