The Pentium Era - South to North

The next morning, Zhang Chen came out of home and went directly to Qiushi Academy with the renderings of the e-commerce park. When he arrived at Tan Shuzhen's office, Tan Shuzhen called Lao Tan over.

Lao Tan looked at the drawings and said to Zhang Chen:

"Although they are all frame structures and the work is easy to do, it adds up to more than 800,000 square meters. It is also a big project. The basement alone of more than 100,000 square meters is enough to dig. In this way, mainly on the factory side, I asked them to hurry up with the construction so that they can move in early. Here in the park, it is expected to be a little later, is that okay?"

Zhang Chen said yes, the park is not in a hurry.

"Why are you not in a hurry? If you are late, you will be charged a day less. All you waste is money." Tan Shuzhen scolded Zhang Chen, "Do you have too much money and don't care about it anymore?"

Zhang Chen chuckled, and Lao Tan said: "Okay, I understand, I'll tell them to hurry up, but the factory has priority... Either this, if one construction company can't do it, just subcontract it to several companies, anyway. Here, large and small can also be divided into four parts.”

Zhang Chen said yes, thank you, brother.

Tan Shuzhen looked at Zhang Chen and smiled: "Zhang Chen, it seems that your evaluation of yourself is very fair."

"What's wrong with me?" Zhang Chen asked.

"You say you are a landlord, but look at it, this is still a job done by landlords, and you are a rent collector. Your financial center can be turned into a rent collection house in the future."

Tan Shuzhen played with the renderings with her fingers. Zhang Chen and Lao Tan both laughed. Lao Tan said, "That's fine. There is no pressure. Collecting rent is the easiest."

"So, landlords can sit in sedans and travel around the mountains and rivers to collect rent, but capitalists have to ride in cars to seize business opportunities. Zhang Chen, I think you will wear a melon skin hat and sit in a sedan from now on." Tan Shuzhen smiled. road.

"Get out!" Zhang Chen cursed.

"By the way, I came in earlier and saw Mr. Feng. How is he now?" Zhang Chen asked.

Tan Shuzhen and Lao Tan looked at each other and laughed. Lao Tan said:

"He complained to me yesterday that he was almost turning into a mailbox clerk, and there was nothing else to do except collect and collect newspapers every day."

"That is also the highest-paid mail and receipt clerk in the entire Hangzhou." Tan Shuzhen said, "If he can't stand it, he can resign. If he resigns, we will all be relieved."

"Don't think about it, it's impossible to resign." Lao Tan said, "His life is so comfortable that I want to trade with him."

"By the way, Zhang Chen, how about letting him take care of your construction site?" Tan Shuzhen asked, "It's still in Hangzhou anyway."

Zhang Chen said okay, I have no objection.

Lao Tan quickly said: "You don't have an objection, I still have an objection. In the end, I'm not going to wipe his ass. Forget it, let him continue to collect and read newspapers."

Tan Shuzhen shook her head and sighed: "Well, it's all my fault. I was the one who asked him to be recruited in the first place. I can't keep it off my face."

Zhang Chen stood up and was about to go back to the company. His cell phone rang. Zhang Chen looked at it and saw that it was Xiaofang. Zhang Chen quickly picked up the phone. As soon as the call came through, Xiaofang's excited voice came from inside:

"Brother-in-law, we just got home, guess what we received?"

Zhang Chen said he didn't know.

"We have received the admission notice from Beibei and the admission notice from Yale." Xiaofang said.

"Really, it's so early, isn't it only April?" Zhang Chen got excited when he heard it and asked quickly.

"It's already too late. It started to be distributed at the end of last month. You thought it was from domestic universities." Xiaofang said.

Zhang Chen chuckled: "By the way, Xiaofang, hasn't Zhang Xiangbei not graduated from high school yet?"

"Yes, high school students in the United States know which school they will go to next before they graduate." Xiaofang said.

Tan Shuzhen and Lao Tan also heard what Xiaofang said on the phone. Tan Shuzhen shouted: "Xiaofang, has Beibei been admitted to Yale University?"

Xiaofang smiled and said: "Yes, yes, Sister Shuzhen, come on, Beibei, dad and Aunt Shuzhen are both here..."

"And me, Xiaofang." Old Tan called.

"Oh, hello, Brother Tan!" Xiaofang shouted.

"Hello, hello, Xiaofang."

"Beibei, Uncle Tan is also here."

Xiaofang said and handed the phone to Zhang Xiangbei. Zhang Xiangbei called Uncle Tan, Aunt Shuzhen and his father. The three people here rushed to congratulate Zhang Xiangbei, and everyone was lively for a while.

Yao Fen heard the noise next door and ran over immediately. She heard that it was Zhang Xiangbei who had received the admission notice from Yale. She also rushed to the phone in Tan Shuzhen's hand to congratulate Zhang Xiangbei. Zhang Xiangbei said with a smile, Thank you, aunt.

Yao Fen picked up her phone and called Xiaoshu to tell him that Zhang Xiangbei had been admitted to Yale.

"Really, good boy, then I want to congratulate him!" Xiaoshu shouted happily.

"Okay, you can tell Beibei yourself."

Yao Fen put her phone close to Zhang Chen's phone. The phone was facing Xiaoshu and Zhang Xiangbei. One called Beibei and the other called uncle.

Over there, Zhang Chen had already picked up the phone on Tan Shuzhen's desk, called home, and told the old people at home the good news.

"Beibei, did you tell your sister yourself, or did your aunt tell her?"

Tan Shuzhen took Zhang Chen's phone number and asked. Zhang Xiangbei said, I will call my sister later.

The phone passed around in the hands of several people, and finally returned to Zhang Chen. Over there, Zhang Xiangbei also returned the phone to Xiaofang. Zhang Chen and Xiaofang said that it has been decided, and our film crew will leave. I'm going to New York in a month, to the Metropolitan Museum, and to the Museum of Modern Art for photography.

"Okay, brother-in-law, if the time comes, Beibei might be able to return to China with you. Grandma and Grandma miss him so much," Xiaofang said.

"After today, they will think about it with their fingers crossed." Zhang Chen said, Xiaofang giggled.

Zhang Chen wanted to ask Xiaofang, when are you going to return to China, but he thought about it but didn't ask.

After hanging up Xiaofang's phone, Tan Shuzhen said: "Zhang Chen, Beibei has been decided. Is the date for Xiaofang's return to China soon? You should take some time to go to Shanghai and have a look. Lao Wan has already decorated her house. , you go and take a look, if there is anything else that needs to be changed, let Lao Wan change it before Xiaofang comes back."

Zhang Chen said yes, I will go there tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

Whether it's good news or bad news, there is a lot of news, but you just don't know what path they are spreading through, and they will spread so fast. Zhang Chen left Qiushi Academy and went back to his company. As soon as he turned around the stairs, I saw Xu Qiaoxin lying on the railing on the second floor.

When Xu Qiaoxin saw Zhang Chen, she raised her thumb at him and shouted: "Boss, boss!"

Zhang Chen looked up and didn't understand what she meant by this gesture. Zhang Chen asked, "What are you doing?"

"This is not for you, but for Zhang Xiangbei." Xu Qiaoxin said.

Only then did Zhang Chen understand that the news that Zhang Xiangbei was admitted to Yale University had already reached here before him. Zhang Chen said thank you.

Zhao Jingjing heard the noise outside and ran out. She saw Zhang Chen and said, "Mr. Zhang, has Beibei really been admitted to Yale University?"

Zhang Chen said yes, he just received the notice.

"Great!" Zhao Jingjing shouted, "If Xiao Zhao knew, she would be so happy."

Zhang Chen nodded: "She will know, I will tell her when I get back in the evening."

"Great, great, so happy." Zhao Jingjing's eyes were red, she kept nodding and turned back to the financial center.

Zhang Chen walked into his office, sat down on the sofa, and let out a long breath. After thinking for a while, he stood up again and prepared to go back. He felt that he couldn't wait until night, and he had to go back now to put his family back together. Tell Xiao Zhao this good news.

Before Zhang Chen reached the door, someone knocked on the door. Zhang Chen opened the door and was startled for a moment. He saw two people standing outside the door, one was Ge Ling and the other was Liang Fen.

Zhang Chen quickly let the mother and daughter in.

Ge Ling asked as she walked: "Master, has Zhang Xiangbei been admitted to Yale?"

Zhang Chen said yes, he just received the notice.

"Great, Yale University, then isn't he and Xiaofang an alumnus?" Ge Ling asked.

Zhang Chen said he was right, and Xiaofang also wrote him a letter of recommendation.

Liangfen said: "Congratulations, Mr. Zhang, I just said that this kid Beibei has been so smart since he was a child and will definitely have a future."

Zhang Chen smiled and said, "I didn't even notice how smart he was."

"Parents are like this. It's nice to look at other people's children." Liangfen said, "But if it hurts, you still love your own children."

"That's true." Zhang Chen nodded.

Zhang Chen asked Liangfen to sit on the sofa. Ge Ling brought water to her mother and refilled Zhang Chen's cup. Ge Ling and Zhang Chen said:

"Master, I'm going back to the design center."

Zhang Chen said yes, knowing in his heart that Liangfen came with Ge Ling today because he had something to say to himself.

Zhang Chen asked: "Is your factory closed today?"

Liangfen shook his head and said no, "I came back from asking for leave from Zhao Zhigang. I was very confused and couldn't hold my breath. I just wanted to talk to Mr. Zhang about the factory."

Zhang Chen was stunned for a moment and asked, "What happened in the factory?"

"I'm worried that this factory will fail sooner or later. Life is already very difficult now," Liangfen said.

Zhang Chen was taken aback and asked, "How could this happen? Aren't you making orders from Wal-Mart?"

"Yes, I am doing orders for Wal-Mart, but in the past two months, thirty or forty containers have been shipped. It does not count that I have not made a penny. Now I am still making losses every day. It is really a crime!" Liangfen scolded angrily! With.

"How could this happen? At that time, Walmart's orders were better than ours, so how could we lose money?" Zhang Chen asked, wondering.

He sighed and said, "It's true that the price on the list is good, but when it's time to ship the goods, alas, the price will come down, and there will be no profit. If the price of fabrics increases again this month, it won't be a daily loss. The more you do, the more you lose, it’s like a bottomless pit, and you don’t know how much you will lose next.”

"Master Liangfen, please tell me slowly, how could this happen?" Zhang Chen listened for a long time and was still confused.

"By the way, I'll ask Xu Qiaoxin to come down and listen, okay?" Zhang Chen asked.

Two points nodded and said yes.

Zhang Chen walked to the desk and called Xu Qiaoxin. After a while, Xu Qiaoxin came in. Zhang Chen roughly conveyed to Xu Qiaoxin what he had said two minutes ago. Zhang Chen said:

"I don't know how this happened. Let Liangfen tell us. You know the foreign trade business and you can help analyze it."

"I know it without having to listen," Xu Qiaoxin said, "When the goods are ready and they inspect them before shipping, they will find a lot of problems, right? And the container trucks have already arrived at the factory. Just wait. If the truck cannot be shipped, the delay in delivery will not be counted, and the freight for the container truck will have to be compensated, right?"

Two points nodded.

"Then the other party said it was too late. They had to communicate with the customer. They walked away and made a phone call. The result was that the shipment was OK, but five percent of the payment would be deducted, right?"

"Oh, Qiao Xin, how come you know everything?" Liangfen exclaimed in surprise, "But it's not 5%, but 8%, and it caused us to test it, and all the bonuses were wasted."

"Eight percent? Humph, it's more cruel than I thought." Xu Qiaoxin sneered, and she said to Zhang Chen:

"Foreign trade companies, it's just such a little trick. Why don't you ask for today? If you come back that day and tell me that Wal-Mart's price is higher than ours, I will know that today will happen."

"You knew it that day? Then why didn't you tell me?" Zhang Chen asked.

Xu Qiaoxin looked at Zhang Chen quietly for a while and then said, "I did it on purpose, boss. I didn't tell you on purpose."
