Siheyuan: Since 51

in the afternoon.

office.

When Lin Zhiyuan saw Tian Yucheng, he gave him a cigarette and asked with a smile.

"Old Tian, ​​how much do you know about why Nathan Paper Mill raised its prices?"

Tian Yucheng took the cigarette, without any hurry, and introduced it respectfully.

"Nathan has a good relationship with Brighton. The printing factory bought the goods slightly below the market price before, for this reason."

After a brief pause, he continued, "I guess Brighton is interfering. Several newspapers have also stopped cooperating with us."

Lin Zhiyuan rubbed his fingertips and asked, "Is the printing factory's business declining significantly now?"

"No, not really. Today's headlines are not only large in volume, but also two pages long, which basically covers the previous workload."

As he spoke, Tian Yucheng smiled.

"Many companies, including Huo's, Changjiang, Yongye, Global, and Zhongnan, have come to cooperate with us. We provide everything from promotional posters to office paper. Overall, the workload of the printing factory has increased fivefold."

Hearing this, Lin Zhiyuan smiled knowingly.

"Then according to your calculations, do we need a paper mill?"

Tian Yucheng pondered for a moment and shook his head.

"Mr. Lin, I don't recommend it. Paper mills are too messy, the raw materials are troublesome, the process is complicated, and the profit is not high. Moreover, our usage is limited, and it is not worth spending a lot of money to buy it."

"The advice is very pertinent. I will go and learn more about it. If it doesn't work, I will buy a stake in one to prevent future troubles."

After Tian Yucheng left, Ye Xiaoyu came over.

After sitting down, I felt a little depressed.

"Mr. Lin, Ming Pao has been making a big fuss about our Today's Headlines, saying that it is sensational and unbearable to look at..."

After listening patiently, Lin Zhiyuan smiled.

"You have a very bad temper. So, tell me, what will happen if you curse at him?"

Ye Xiaoyu frowned and thought carefully. After a long while, she said uncertainly, "It shouldn't be bad for us, right?"

"You, if a dog bites you, and you bite back, how will others see you? You've lost face for nothing."

Lin Zhiyuan shook his head and gave further analysis.

"When a tiger fights a dog, it's dishonorable if it wins and shameful if it loses. Regardless of the outcome, it raises the status of the dog... Isn't this just what he wants?"

Ye Xiaoyu nodded thoughtfully, still feeling somewhat unwilling.

"But he can't be scolded for nothing, right?"

Lin Zhiyuan put away his smile and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"The weak points of Ming Pao are obvious: low sales and insufficient funds. Increasing the royalties and cutting off other sources of articles for Ming Pao will not allow it to survive with just Jin Yong alone."

As he spoke, he lit a cigarette and took a puff.

"Newspaper prices have been reduced, the delivery price has been reduced by 50 cents, and the selling price has been reduced by 50 cents..."

Ye Xiaoyu's eyes widened, and after a few seconds, he said weakly: "Mr. Lin, the manuscript fee can be increased. If the newspaper price drops, all our profits will be lost."

"You, if you control the source and grasp the customers, sales will definitely increase. Will the advertising expenses remain unchanged?"

Lin Zhiyuan finished speaking and waved his hand, "Do as I tell you. I hope you grow up quickly."

Ye Xiaoyu nodded vigorously and made assurances repeatedly.

"No problem, Mr. Lin, I will work harder."

After finishing the work, Lin Zhiyuan took a short rest and left Yuanda Department Store with Hu Yi.

Go home, wash up, and tidy up.

Carrying some gifts, I headed straight to Repulse Bay.

Although the New Year has passed, it is still the end of the New Year, and it is etiquette to bring something with you.

We met, exchanged greetings, and sat down in the study.

After chatting for a while, Huo Dong turned to business.

"Money can make people's hearts move. I got the news that Brother Ma Ru arranged for someone to contact the family members of your pharmaceutical factory employees and set up traps for many of them. I think it's time to wrap it up."

"Maru?"

Lin Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows and then curled his lips.

"The prescription is pretty heavily guarded, and they're just trying to be blind."

As he said this, he smiled.

"Brother Huo, thank you for your help in looking after me. I will perform a play for you to enjoy."

Huo Dong couldn't help but laugh, "Hahaha, it's not just me, there are many people waiting to see you perform."

Lin Zhiyuan naturally knew that after taking advantage of the situation, he must demonstrate his strength.

Even if it's just killing a cockroach, no matter how you do it or how effective it is, it's worth savoring...

"Don't worry, a good show won't disappoint you."

Huo Dong was particularly attentive to dinner.

There are eight dishes and one soup, basically all northern dishes.

Old Mrs. Huo and her female relatives sat at a separate table.

Lin Zhiyuan suggested that Huo Ting come to the table and the three of them eat and chat.

After listening to Huo Ting's homework, Lin Zhiyuan gently raised his eyebrows.

"A Ting, that's right. It's important to know how to think. It's not wise to make judgments easily. Be a real man. In a few years, when Brother Huo asks you to do something, you must remember it."

Huo Ting was praised, and he felt happy. He nodded and said, "Uncle Lin, don't worry, I will definitely read more and think more about it in the future."

"That's right. Look more, think more, and then combine knowledge and practice, and then you can become a talent."

Lin Zhiyuan said this, then remembered something and spoke again.

"I didn't see you when I came here just now. I brought you three books. You must study them carefully. About ten years ago, I was a silly boy. I had random thoughts but couldn't think of the point. I also did things in a mess... Fortunately, an elder gave me three books, and I have grown a little bit."

Not only Huo Ting, but even Huo Dong was very curious.

"What book? It's worth reading, as you say."

……

Director Lin Zhiyuan came on stage and a big drama slowly unfolded.

The next day, we went to Lingdan Pharmaceutical Factory.

Guo Li's office.

Lin Zhiyuan crossed his legs and waved his hand.

"Shasha, Xiao Hu, you two go out for a walk. I want to talk to Guo Li."

The two looked at each other, and without hesitation, they left the room together.

Lin Zhiyuan took out three pieces of paper from his pocket, which was actually a space, and threw them on the coffee table.

"Guo Li, someone is after our prescriptions. The ingredients in these three prescriptions have changed, and the dosage is incorrect. You need to think of a way to let the other party take them away without making a fuss."

Guo Li was stunned. "Boss, I'm not very good at acting. I'm afraid I'll mess it up."

Lin Zhiyuan was helpless and said depressedly: "I know you can't do it, I have thought about it for you, you do this..."

After hearing this, Guo Li was confused.

"Another 10% increase? The wages we offer are already higher than those of ordinary factories."

Lin Zhiyuan said unhappily, "How stupid! You are tempting them with benefits and winning over irrelevant people."

Guo Li frowned, still not understanding. Without further ado, he asked again.

"Also, is it okay to take the initiative to say that someone wants to steal the prescription? Isn't it better to just sit back and wait? What if these people don't dare to take action? We can't always be on guard, right?"

Lin Zhiyuan knew in his heart that it was indeed a bit difficult for Guo Li, so he sighed and continued teaching.

"You, do you know how many people there are? You took the initiative to mention this matter, and expressed that you are in trouble and can lend them money to help them through the difficulties. First, you can screen them, and second, you can win their hearts again."

He paused, "If you stir up trouble, the remaining people who are determined to do bad things will be like frightened birds. If you reveal any flaws, these people will definitely take risky actions..."

After talking for more than three hours, Lin Zhiyuan said it didn't matter whether Guo Li understood it or not, as long as he knew what to do.

After arranging the actors, Lin Zhiyuan waited quietly for the first episode to be performed.
