Grandpa Fang and Grandma Fang ate their dinner calmly and told Lin Mai that Fang Zhuoran had never come back.
But I called home and said he was still busy at the factory and would be back very late.
Let them eat their own dinner, and he can just take care of a meal outside.
Lin Mai blinked, feeling a little unbelievable.
Fang Zhuoyue loves the food she cooks the most.
In the past, as long as I knew she cooked delicious food, I would come back even if I was far away, but this time I was indifferent.
Has this guy become so self-motivated that even the delicacies she cooks are no longer attractive to him?
After dinner, Lin Mai went upstairs, entered his room, and talked on the phone with Fang Zhuoran.
Unfortunately, the two of them hadn't chatted for ten minutes when Fang Zhuoran was called away by the nurse on the other end of the phone.
Lin Mai had no choice but to hang up the phone angrily.
At around eight o'clock in the evening, Fang Zhuoyue came back with a smile on his face.
Lin Maizheng and Grandpa Fang were sitting in front of the fireplace, warming themselves by the fire, eating fruit and watching TV.
Seeing this, he smiled and asked him: "Looking at you, everything in the factory is going well. You look like you are in a happy mood."
Fang Zhuoyue chuckled twice: "Not bad, we can produce hundreds of plastic bag production machines and convenience cup and bowl production machines every month.
In just a few months, more than a thousand machines have been sold, with a net profit of over one million yuan.
I can pay you back the money you borrowed from me tomorrow."
He smiled guiltily at Grandpa and Grandma Fang again: "Grandpa and Grandma, I can buy you gifts and give you red envelopes during the Chinese New Year this year."
Grandpa Fang and his wife were very pleased: "You are finally independent.
Your grandpa and I almost died of worry, and I'm really afraid that you'll just have to muddle along for the rest of your life."
Fang Zhuoyue smiled sheepishly.
Although he is talented, he is also lazy and is not the kind of person who is particularly enterprising.
If it hadn't been for Tao Zhiyun's advice, he would never have thought of working hard unless he could afford to support a family.
It turns out that money is indeed a man's confidence. With money, his grandparents have changed their view of him.
Fang Zhuoyue rubbed Doudou's little face angrily and said with a generous voice: "Now that uncle is rich, tell him what you want and he will buy it for you."
The little cute baby thought about it seriously: "I don't want anything. I just want my uncle to help me repair the music box. My music box is broken."
After that, he went upstairs and went to his room to get the music box for Fang Zhuoyue to repair.
When Fang Zhuoyue was repairing the music box, Lin Mai chatted with him: "Convenience cup and bowl production machines and plastic bag production machines are very low-end machines. They are easy to be imitated and can only make quick money. You
We must make plans early to transform the factory.”
Fang Zhuoyue said while repairing the music box: "Some people have already started to imitate the production of those two machines. I really want to switch to the production of televisions. Sister-in-law, what do you think?"
These days, no home appliance sells better than televisions.
As soon as people's living conditions improve slightly, they want to have fun.
Therefore, if you produce and sell TV sets, as long as the quality is good, you will definitely make money.
Lin Mai nodded: "Okay.
After you develop the TV brand, you can then produce refrigerators, washing machines, water heaters and other home appliances."
Fang Zhuoyue stopped what he was doing and looked at her dumbfounded: "You drew such a big framework for me, and I have to be able to realize it."
Lin Mai made a cheering gesture: "As long as you work hard step by step, you will definitely be able to achieve the goal I set for you."
Fang Zhuoyue lowered his head and continued to repair the music box. After a moment of silence, he said, "Sister-in-law, why don't we cooperate? Only with you as my backbone can I have the confidence to achieve the goal you set for me."
Lin Mai glared at him: "Just tell me if you want me to invest. Tell me, how much do you want me to invest?"
Fang Zhuoyue chuckled twice and handed the repaired music box to Doudou.
He flexed his fingers and silently calculated in his mind how much money he wanted Lin Mai to invest.
After calculating for a while, he said with some difficulty: "At least three million."
This amount is not small. Lin Mai said: "You don't have to pay me back the 500,000 you lent me. It will be calculated into my investment. I will invest another 2.5 million. It's not enough to tell me."
Fang Zhuoyue nodded happily.
After solving the funding problem, Fang Zhuoyue decided to name the future TV factory. The name that came to his mind was Xuanshi.
But Lin Mai insisted on changing it to Holy World.
Because in the future, their TV factories will also produce various home appliances such as refrigerators and washing machines.
If it is called Xuanshi, it seems that it only produces TV sets, but if it is called Shengshi, there is no such problem, and the name is both auspicious and catchy.
Fang Zhuohuo saw that Lin Mai was speaking eloquently, so he nodded in agreement.
Grandpa Fang and Grandma Fang all told Fang Zhuoyue to work hard in his career and not to let Lin Mai's investment go to waste, otherwise they would kill him.
Soon it was ten o'clock in the evening, and Lin Mai went to bed.
When she was in the capital, she wanted to sleep quietly every Saturday and Sunday night, but Fang Zhuoran didn't give her a chance.
Now that she can sleep peacefully, she misses Fang Zhuoran by her side.
It's not that I want to be the Duke of Zhou with him, but I'm just greedy for his warm embrace.
It's hard to sleep alone.
Also sleepless was Fang Zhuoran.
Without a sweet-smelling and soft little wife in my arms, I always feel empty inside.
He counted on his fingers in the dark and found that February 1st this year was New Year's Eve.
It will take at least a week before my wife and grandparents return to Beijing.
It is possible that they will not return home until the 29th of the twelfth lunar month at the longest.
It’s so long~
Fang Zhuoran wanted Lin Mai and the others to return to Beijing as soon as possible, and Lin Mai also wanted to go home as soon as possible.
The next morning, after breakfast, she went out to the city hall.
If you want to get back the arrears of the project payment from the light factory as soon as possible, you can return to the capital as soon as possible.
She took a taxi and arrived at the gate of the city hall. As soon as she got out of the taxi, she heard someone shouting her name excitedly.
She turned around and saw that it was Teacher Wang, her class teacher in the third year of high school, and she immediately became excited.
Lin Mai smiled and called Teacher Wang, "What a coincidence, I met you here."
Teacher Wang said cheerfully: "What a coincidence? My father-in-law and mother-in-law live here, and I came here to give them a few kilograms of mutton for the New Year."
He asked: "Why are you here? Do you want to see the leader if you have something?"
"Yes." Lin Mai smiled and nodded.
Teacher Wang knew how to advance and retreat, and never mentioned what she had to do with the leader, but asked her how many days she would stay back in Jiangcheng this time.
Lin Mai was confused and said: "About a week or so. Why does the teacher ask this?"
Teacher Wang was a little embarrassed and said: "I didn't think about anything. I just thought that if you go back to Jiangcheng for a long time this time, can you take some time to give a speech at the school and encourage the younger students?"
The head teacher extended the invitation, and Lin Mai happily nodded in agreement.
In order to fear that she would forget about this matter because she had too many things to do, she made an appointment with Teacher Wang to give a speech at her alma mater after she finished her work at the city hall.
Teacher Wang was very happy and said: "Then I will go to school and wait for you now." After that, he left.
Lin Mai's Wantong Group is the largest taxpayer in Jiangcheng, and it has a good reputation among the leaders.
She asked to see the mayor. Even if she didn't make an appointment, the mayor would give her the honor to meet her.
Lin Mai was registering at the gate when Ouyang, the former district chief who had been promoted to the Standing Committee of the Ouyang Standing Committee, came to work and happened to see her.
He hurriedly asked the driver to stop the car, stuck his head out of the car window, and greeted Lin Mai: "Aren't you studying in the capital? Are you back from winter vacation?"
Lin Mai smiled and said yes.
Standing Committee Member Ouyang asked again: "Do you have anything to do with the city government?"
Lin Mai nodded again and told him the purpose of her coming to the city hall in a few words.
Standing Committee Member Ouyang frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "Before you go to the mayor, go to my office first."
After Lin Madden finished registering, he went to his office.
Standing Committee Member Ouyang made tea for her and told her tactfully that the superiors knew that Director Hu of the light factory was acting rogue and deliberately failed to pay for the Wantong Real Estate project.
Lin Mai asked: "What do the leaders think?"
Standing Committee Member Ouyang held a cup of hot water and looked around and said: "It's really miserable when it comes to light factories.
The efficiency has not been good over the years. It only built a staff dormitory once in 1960, but it has not built a staff dormitory in the past 20 years.
Many old workers' children have grown up and want to get married, but they have been putting it off because they don't have housing.
If you go to the old dormitory of a light factory, you will know that there are many older men and young people everywhere.
Your Wantong Enterprise is so rich, so you... don't ask for this project money, just help Factory Director Hu."
Lin Mai asked back: "I am rich and the light factory is poor, so why do you want me to help the light factory?
The light factory is supported by government subsidies and still behaves like this. That’s because their factory director is incompetent. Why should I pay the bill?
Our private enterprises are all struggling to survive on their own.
There are no government subsidies, and we don’t pay any less taxes, so why should the government suppress our private enterprises in disguised form?”
Standing Committee Member Ouyang saw that Lin Mai was no longer the sweet and sweet girl who ran a snack bar in front of him.
Today, although she is still very young, she has a strong aura and looks like a strong woman, and she will fight him without mercy.
He was unhappy in his heart and said with a cold face: "I am doing this for your own good, so don't disobey me! People who do big things must have a pattern!"
Lin Mai sarcastically said: "What a coincidence, I never thought about doing anything big, I just wanted to support my employees.
So I won’t have this stupid pattern of being taken advantage of, nor will I want it.”
She sneered coldly: "If you really do it for my own good, you should let the light factory pay the project money you owe me instead of forcing me to give up asking for the project money."
After that, he stood up, turned around and left, going to Mayor Wang's office.
But I saw that there was no one in the office except for a janitor who was doing hygiene.
Lin Mai asked the cleaner aunt: "Where is Mayor Wang?"
The cleaner aunt raised her head and glanced at her: "Mayor Wang answered the phone and hurried out."
Lin Mai asked again: "Did Mayor Wang say anything when he went out?"
The cleaner aunt smiled: "Even if Mayor Wang wants to explain something, he can't tell me. He usually talks to his secretary."
"Where is Mayor Wang's secretary?"
"I went out with the mayor."
Lin Mai asked this question and stopped asking.
Just now at the guard's place, she reported her identity and said she wanted to see Mayor Wang. The guard immediately called Mayor Wang, and Mayor Wang agreed to meet her.
But now he took his secretary and ran away without a trace.
It was probably Standing Committee Member Ouyang who told him why she wanted to see him.
Mayor Wang didn't want to help her ask for project funds from the light factory, so he hid with his secretary and asked Standing Committee Member Ouyang to send her away.
Since taking the government's approach doesn't work, then we should find another way to get the project money back.
She would get the project money back no matter what.
And she must come back before celebrating the New Year, so that her migrant workers can get their wages and go home to celebrate the New Year.
