Chapter 142 In the end it’s all about money
Between classes, in the corridor outside the classroom.
The head teacher, Zhang Liqun, had his hands clasped behind his back, and his expression was very bad behind his wide brown glasses.
Xu Chen stood in front of him, quietly listening to the "teachings" without saying a word.
"Xu Chen, I am very optimistic about you. You have a chance to enter the 985 prestigious schools!"
"You have really been out of shape in your studies recently. You have to ask for leave as the college entrance examination is approaching, and you will be late for self-study at night!"
"Last week's mock test, you left half of the questions blank..."
"You are in a very dangerous state! There is less than a month left, I don't want you to have problems at this critical moment!"
"It is a pity that our class lost a 985!"
……
Xu Chen lowered his head and listened without responding. He just wanted to end the conversation as soon as possible.
He knows his own learning status best, so naturally there is no problem.
Asking for leave and being late for self-study were indeed related to business matters in the past two days, but now they have all been handed over to Fang Jun.
The so-called mock exam paper was mostly empty because Xu Chen didn’t want to waste time on the questions he had already mastered...
According to Xu Chen's study plan, in the next month, the focus will be on solving all the previous wrong questions and weak knowledge items.
The other ones can be put aside.
Since you have a rhythm and a plan, you are less likely to be disturbed by the outside world.
……
Xu Chen remained silent and found that the head teacher was getting more and more excited.
In the end, Zhang Liqun could only use the method of "praising" and responded in a low voice, allowing Zhang Liqun to sense Xu Chen's "serious remorse."
After returning to his seat, Xu Chen also let out a long sigh of relief.
……
In the days that followed, Xu Chen pushed away all distractions and concentrated on reviewing.
The college entrance examination is extremely painful, but it has a clear end date.
Most people are afraid of the arrival of that date, but Xu Chen is looking forward to the end of that date.
Because he knows that once it passes, he will be "free".
……
……
In mid-May, Xu Zhiquan took Fang Jun, Director Yang from the machinery factory, and Li Rui to Jiangsu Province to "investigate" the local electric vehicle factory.
The business of the seedling company is managed by fourth uncle Xu Zhilin and third uncle Zhang Yongqing, and there are basically no problems now.
Some of the obstacles encountered before have basically been removed, and projects are still coming in one after another, even radiating to surrounding counties and towns.
In a short period of time, Xu Zhiquan has made the seedling business the largest in Tiancheng.
Once the "scale advantage" is formed, it will have a "moat" for business.
The cost will be reduced, and you can bid lower than your competitors in the bidding.
Coupled with the endorsement of existing projects, it is easier to get new projects.
And after the Xu family contracts more land, it will only become more and more difficult for other opponents to compete.
It can be said that as long as Xu Zhiquan's "relationships" do not collapse, "Chenxin Seedlings" will be a money printing machine for the Xu family.
……
The fourth uncle was in the west of the city again and rented a few pieces of land. Now he spends half of his time in the west of the city, watching the seedlings being cultivated there.
The construction of seedlings has already begun in several construction sections of the Chengnan Expressway. Mainly, the third uncle Zhang Yongqing and a group of workers are working on it. It is very hard every day in the wind and rain.
Fortunately, Zhang Yongqing has a hard-working temperament and likes seedlings, so he enjoys it.
It's just that if you encounter some troubles in dealing with people or relationships, your fourth uncle still has to come forward to solve them.
The fourth uncle and the third uncle cooperated very well.
For Chenxin seedlings, Xu Zhiquan can basically be the "hands-off shopkeeper" and gradually rarely interferes with family affairs.
He mainly focused on establishing external relationships and contacting some new seedling projects.
Of course, his main focus now has begun to shift to the machinery factory.
……
At noon, Xu Chen, Chen Dahai and others went out to eat.
In the small restaurant, I actually saw the Duotou advertisement and promotion activities of "Wang Laoshun".
The slogan "Drink Wanglaoshun if you are afraid of getting angry" is naturally printed prominently on it.
The execution efficiency of Jiaduobao Company is very high. Unexpectedly, it has spread to the sinking catering channels so quickly.
Two diners in the store saw the pile of materials and picked up a can:
"I've just been feeling angry these past two days. Let's drink and see..."
"Damn, this is sweet and bitter, what the hell does it taste like?"
"Didn't you read what it says? The Chinese medicine formula is of course bitter."...
Xu Chen couldn't help but smile. Wang Laoshun's taste was indeed something he couldn't compliment.
If there is no feature of "fear of getting angry", even if it is given to consumers, no one will be willing to drink it.
However, it is foreseeable that after this round of "fear of getting angry" promotion, the company Jiaduobao really took off in mainland China.
In Xu Chen's memory of his previous life, Wang Laoshun spent three to five years spending money on marketing and promotion, and sponsored several variety shows. At its peak, the sales volume was indeed second only to those two foreign-owned colas...< br>
Xu Chen's one million advertising remuneration has naturally been determined, and Fang Jun is helping with this matter.
The payment will be collected directly through the "Dongchen Advertising" account. Compared with collecting the payment in Xu Chen's personal name, I heard that it can save some tax.
Renhe Pharmaceutical's pitch was divided into three disbursements, and Fang Jun was also following up.
Fang Jun is very good at these things, so he can basically rest assured if he leaves them to her. Xu Chen also asked Fang Jun. As the only boss of Dongchen Advertising, he can withdraw all the money in his account at will, and it is all legal and taxed.
Xu Chen won't need it for the time being, so he will keep it in his account for now.
Of course, generally speaking, Xu Chen is not ready to be a "magnificent" now. The Xu family's business is still in its infancy, and "investing in the future" is more important.
What's more, it is foreseeable that when my father builds an electric car factory, every money he spends will be split in half...
……
When I walked back to school after lunch, I saw that the banner on the school gate had been replaced again.
"Warm congratulations to Xie Bingran of our school for winning the National Middle School Track and Field Championships!"
Unexpectedly, in just one or two weeks, Brother Bing won another championship.
Her label of "invincible under 18 years old" has been consolidated again.
It's true what Xu Chen said at the beginning, when Brother Bing wins too many championships, people will get numb...
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Chen Dahai looked up at the banner, shaking his head with an envious look on his face.
Xu Chen joked:
"The National Middle School Track and Field Championships, it seems that high jump is also a competition, right?"
Chen Dahai looked helpless:
"I haven't even passed the preliminaries. How can I compare with Brother Bing's talent... Brother Bing's talent is weird and inhuman!"
As soon as I entered the school, the video of Brother Bing's victory was played on a loop on the large LED screen.
At the end of the video, a scene of Xie Bingran cheering for college entrance examination students was added.
In the video, Xie Bingran still had a cold temperament and said emotionlessly to the camera:
"I wish the senior students of Tiancheng No. 1 Middle School, good luck in the college entrance examination, and win the gold list..."
The onlookers who passed by, especially a few girls, had starry eyes again:
"What should I do? Brother Bing is getting more and more handsome!"
……
In late May, when Xu Zhiquan and others returned from a business trip, the acquisition of the machinery factory was suddenly put on the agenda.
Through his connections in the city, Xu Zhiquan received a clear notice that the "communication of intent" regarding the restructuring and sale of the machinery factory would begin in early June.
Xu Zhiquan had greeted several parties in advance, not to mention that at the funeral of Grandma Xie Bingran, he had also met Wu Yongming, the "key leader". Naturally, Dongchen Shares was also among the candidate companies for "communication of intent."
In fact, according to some rigid indicator requirements, the current Dongchen shares should not have appeared on that list.
But the leader Wu Yongming still said a word of help, and Dongchen was able to ensure that he got a "ticket"...
Xu Zhiquan also knew the principle of "knowing yourself and the enemy" and wanted to inquire about other competitors, but there was no news after several inquiries.
After that, Xu Zhiquan basically slept in the office of Jinfeng Business Building.
Every day I spend time with Fang Jun and Director Yang from the machinery factory, preparing documents for the "intention communication meeting".
At the same time, we are also trying every possible means to raise funds in advance.
I kept making phone calls every day, and one pack of cigarettes a day turned into two packs of cigarettes a day.
……
……
In the evening of that day, Xu Chen went to the store to pack a few dishes and took them to Jinfeng Business Building.
As soon as he entered the office, he saw Xu Zhiquan staying in the "manager's room", half lying on the sofa and smoking.
When Xu Zhiquan saw his son coming in, he stood up with a look of joy on his face.
"Why are you here?"
Xu Chen: "I knew you must be here, so I brought you some dishes!"
Xu Zhiquan laughed, moved the pile of information on the table aside, and opened the takeout with his son.
The father and son touched the Coke cans and finally sat down to have a meal together again.
During this time, Xiao Xu was preparing for the college entrance examination, and Lao Xu was busy with work in the machinery factory, and both of them were in a state of anxiety.
Xu Chen said while eating:
"Dad, I saw you looking worried when I first came in. Did you encounter some problem?"
Xu Zhiquan laughed:
"Don't worry about your family affairs for now. You can take your college entrance examination in peace."
Xu Chen: "Tell me something. I almost vomited during my review, so I should listen to something else to distract myself."
Xu Zhiquan chewed a steamed bun, thought for a while and finally said:
"It's mainly about the machinery factory.
In early June, the city organized an 'intention communication meeting'. In fact, several companies that wanted to participate in the restructuring of the machinery factory each came up with plans and funds to compete.
Now Fang Jun and Director Yang are working on text materials, and I am preparing funds.
In the end it’s all about money..."
Xu Chen: "How many do you need?"
Xu Zhiquan: "Fang Jun calculated it carefully for me, and she also revealed the details of some machinery factories.
After all, the purpose of selling the machinery factory is to pay off the current debts...
According to Fang Jun's calculations, the pure cash portion would have to come out to 10 million anyway.
The rest can be settled with bank loans and future corporate profits.
When the machinery factory gets it, some existing equipment, three-wheelers in stock, etc. can also be sold...
Now dad is trying to find a way to raise ten million in cash. ”
Xu Chen: "Is it difficult?"
