Chapter 20: Taking the bait
Xu Chen smiled:
"Then you have to hurry up. I'm about to graduate from high school."
Xu Zhiquan: "Well, when you go to college, dad will buy you a car directly!"
Xu Chen said jokingly:
"Lao Xu, you are a little distracted. You haven't made a lot of money yet."
Xu Zhiquan laughed a few times:
"Son, you don't know.
I'm doing business with the nursery stock company this week...
Let me tell you this, Dad is already interested in bidding for the seedling project of the Chengnan Expressway next month.
I'm confident I can get it!
Although this order is not big, as you said, as long as this business is won, the rest will follow. ”
Xu Chen took a breath.
I didn't expect that Lao Xu's execution ability was so strong.
In just one week, things have advanced to this extent? !
"Dad, you are really good!"
"It's better for the son to do it. The strategy decided by the son will be implemented by the father!"
Xu Zhiquan paused, obviously holding back something to say.
"What's wrong?" Xu Chen asked.
"There is something that requires my son to help."
"What happened?"
"It's just that...it's possible to get the selling point of hue."
Xu Chen: "??!"
Xu Zhiquan laughed a few times and explained:
“This time around the seedlings, a leader helped to connect the dots, which helped a lot.
The leader’s daughter is also in her third year of high school, but her grades are not very good.
They heard that my son had very good grades in No. 1 Middle School, and they wanted you to tutor his little girl. ”
Xu Chen was speechless: "You are selling me!"
Xu Zhiquan said with a smile:
"Don't put too much pressure on her. Just give her a lecture and treat her as a friend.
I'm kidding if I tell you that sex sells looks. ”
Xu Chen was speechless and wanted to refuse.
But when he thought about the family business, he said nothing more.
I'm just going to talk about the topic, just pretend to be a fool...
While talking, Xu Zhiquan had already started the car and drove out of the parking lot.
He remembered something again and said:
"I'm planning to shut down our sand foundry factory until we finish the batch of goods we have.
Tomorrow morning, my uncle, fourth uncle, and aunt's family will all come over.
I will talk about the closure of the factory and the planting of nurseries, and let them make their own choices. ”
Xu Chen thought for a while and reminded specifically:
"Dad, don't talk too much about the seedling business, especially the possibility of winning the tender."
Xu Zhiquan smiled:
"Don't worry, dad knows what's going on.
As you said, the purpose of this time is to clean out the blood-sucking people lying in our house.
But after all, they are all a family, and dad can't just send them away, so he still lets them make their own choices. ”
……
The father and son had a simple meal in the city and then drove back to the town.
My family's house was built by myself, a two-story building.
Connected to the small courtyard at the back, the living area is a full 300 square meters, which is really spacious.
When it was built, it was quite popular in the village.
However, in recent years, more and more villagers have built small Western-style houses, and the Xu family's house is not so conspicuous.
After returning home, Xu Chen looked at the spacious countryside and felt a little emotional.
After my father went bankrupt in his previous life, this house was sold to pay off debts.
After that, Xu Chen went to college, and his father went south to work, and he never returned to his former home.
Xu Chen still remembers that when his father in his previous life finally left this home, his eyes were full of desolation and loneliness.
But now that he has been reborn, his father's fate has changed. This two-story building that carries Xu Chen's childhood memories will never be abandoned.
Entering the back room, Xu Chen saw several piles of cash on his father's table, at least tens of thousands of dollars. "Dad, with so much cash left on the table, aren't you afraid of attracting thieves?"
Xu Zhiquan laughed a few times and quickly put the piles of money into the safe.
"I was in a hurry to pick you up and forgot to put it away.
Aren't we going to talk to my uncle, fourth uncle, and aunt's family tomorrow?
Logically speaking, the three of them also hold shares in our factory, so if they really get into trouble, it won't end well.
To clear people out, you still have to pay some money.
In addition, if you spend some money, those who just want to take advantage will be more willing to withdraw. ”
Xu Chen nodded. There was no problem with his father's arrangement and he was very considerate.
This money should indeed be spent.
Spend the money and save a lot of trouble.
Xu Chen walked to the table and found a pile of colorful materials on the table.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"What is this?"
Xu Zhiquan took a look and said:
"This is a document for bidding at a machinery factory. We withdrew anyway, so we don't need it now."
Xu Chen seemed to have thought of something and said:
"Then give it to me, I will study."
Xu Zhiquan: "Take it away. The factory isn't even ready to open, so it's useless to me."
Xu Chen hugged the pile of bidding documents, turned around and went up to the second floor.
Returning to his room on the second floor, Xu Chen looked around and was filled with memories of his youth.
There are posters of Kobe Bryant and Bruce Lee on the wall.
In the drawer, there are neatly arranged tapes:
Dou Wei's Black Dream, Zhou Jielun's Qilixiang, Xu Wei's Past You, Pu Shu's Life is Like a Summer Flower...
All the memories of youth.
After moving in my previous life, these old items were lost.
Now seeing it again after twenty years, Xu Chen couldn't help but feel moved.
……
Xu Chen read alone for a while, and suddenly a bright light flashed on the window.
A car stopped in front of the house.
Xu Chen walked to the window and looked down. It was a black Xiali.
He looked at the license plate again and confirmed that the car belonged to Uncle San.
What is the third uncle doing at home in the middle of the night?
Xu Chen thought for a while and couldn't help but sneer.
My father Xu Zhiquan withdrew from the bidding of Guangming Machinery Factory, and my third uncle must have been keeping an eye on it.
Last week, Xu Chen revealed his father's lost order through his third uncle's son, Xu Xiaoyang.
The third uncle didn't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, so he seemed to have taken the bait.
I don't know if I came to show off my power this time, or if I came to ask for something.
Xu Chen thought for a while and then went downstairs.
When I came to the living room, I saw that my third uncle had already entered the room, and he was actually carrying a fruit basket in his hand.
"Second brother, long time no see, I came to see you."
Xu Zhiquan had no expression on his face and said:
"Lao San, you are also a rare visitor!"
Lao Xu didn't have a good look on his face.
After all, when the family separated, the two brothers were very unhappy, and the third uncle shamelessly extorted a lot of money and materials.
Later, in order to grab business, the third uncle's factory used many dirty tricks behind Xu Zhiquan's back...
No matter how generous his father Xu Zhiquan is, it is difficult for him to have trust and friendship with his third uncle now.
When the third uncle saw Xu Chen, he smiled and said:
"Xiaochen has grown so tall!"
Xu Chen put on a very official smile and did not respond.
Xu Zhiquan said:
"Third brother, you and I don't have to beat around the bush, just say what you want."
The third uncle put the fruit basket on the table, smiled and said:
"Then I'll get straight to the point. I came here this time to ask for something."
