Chapter 336: Mr. Chen made the final decision and the problem was solved

I said, "Although fortune-telling is only for reference, the result for the character 'lai' is definitely not good."

Mr. Chen said, "I checked and found that the winter wheat or spring wheat you mentioned is based on the Great Wall as the boundary."

"I don't want to discuss this. Whether it's winter wheat or spring wheat, it's just a symbol. Rice is the most popular crop in the south. Wheat stands out in the south."

More importantly, I suspect a major epidemic. This is why I don't want to reveal everything. Because, ever since I studied Plum Blossom Divination, I've discovered a pattern."

"What pattern?" they asked in unison.

I fetched a pen and paper and wrote down the nine pandemics of the past 70 years.

1949, tuberculosis.

1955, plague,

1958. Blood-sucking worms.

We add up the last digit: 9 + 5 + 8 = 22. According to the Plum Blossom Divination principle, nothing can happen more than three times. After three epidemics, the year of the fourth epidemic will be around the last digit of 2.

So, the fourth epidemic was smallpox in 1961.

1961, smallpox.

1966, meningitis.

1981, cholera.

We add up the last digits, 1+6+1=8, and the seventh epidemic is around the last digit 8.

The seventh epidemic was: hepatitis A in 1988.

In 1988, hepatitis A

1999, Leprosy,

2003, SARS.

Let's add up the last digits: 8+9+3=20. I'll stop here. Then he said, "The epidemics that occurred in the above years are all recorded in the annals of epidemic prevention events and are true and reliable. Moreover, my reasoning is strictly based on the Plum Blossom Divination."

The two of them took my piece of paper and studied it carefully.

For a moment, no one said a word.

The room was very quiet.

Mr. Chen stood up and paced around the room. Then he stopped and said:

"Shanhong, I believe you're truly committed to your studies. You've put in a lot of effort in your research. But why don't we change our way of thinking and think about this?

A big fall is always followed by a big rise. For example, a major epidemic will occur in a year, and the epidemic may even last for several years. All industries will be depressed and nothing will make money.

But we chose to invest now, as everything from labor to prices will be cheaper. Investment costs will be reduced accordingly. And once the pandemic is over, as you mentioned, the tourism industry will boom. By then, it will be too late for others to build hotels.

Mr. Chen's words do show his unique perspective.

Lao Xiao said: "Mr. Chen is right. We will intervene at a low price and wait until the climax comes. Others will not be able to win if they try to manipulate the market."

Mr. Chen said, "That's how I think about it. After Shanhong raised her objection last time, I also thought about it for a long time. After all, Xuri has accumulated a certain amount of wealth, and we need to find a breakthrough."

Boten is a breakthrough point. As for Shanhong, I've explained it thoroughly tonight, and I have a clear idea of ​​what's going on. First, the hotel construction period is relatively long. We're getting involved now to compete with others. They give up, but we persevere.

Then the hotel can open in three to five years. If we delay any longer, everyone will start building hotels by then, and we won’t have any advantage.”

I was secretly surprised. If I was a strategist and he was a commander, our perspectives would lead to very different results.

As expected of an old hand, he said that. It suddenly became clear to me. I gave him a thumbs up and said, "Mr. Chen is indeed a man who has a comprehensive vision. When you said that, it suddenly became clear to me."

Lao Xiao said: "You are indeed forward-thinking. I fully support this idea."

Mr. Chen said, "Since you two support my idea, I would like to ask you, Lao Xiao, to lead the team. Shanhong and Chunyazi will go there first to set up a preparatory office.

Lao Xiao will be the lead, Shan Hong the deputy. Let's put together a team first, and we'll decide on the specific personnel when we get there. Why are we sending you two?

First, Lao Xiao has many years of specific work experience. He is in charge and can plan the overall situation. Second, Shanhong has skills that others don't have and can unite people from all walks of life. Where Lao Xiao can't, Shanhong has its advantages.

Third, you two will get along. As for Chun, once he gets there, he can help you with chores and serve as your driver. He's flexible and a good choice. You two should consider it first. If there are any difficulties, we can discuss it later. We'll stop the meeting here and give you some time to make a decision."

Lao Xiao and I did not express our opinion on the spot. After all, this matter needs to be discussed with our family.

Mr. Chen has great leadership skills. After he finished speaking, he stopped talking and we adjourned the meeting.

After leaving Mr. Chen’s office, Lao Xiao followed me into Room 1701.

I poured him a cup of tea and asked, "What do you think?"

Lao Xiao said: "If you go, I will go. If you don't go, I won't go no matter who partners with me."

I laughed and said, "You kick the ball to me?"

Lao Xiao said: "This is the truth from the heart. In such an unfamiliar place, you are better than me at building relationships with people. But I will do the specific work."

Lao Xiao gave me a cigarette and analyzed, "If the two of us don't go, Mr. Cao definitely won't be able to do it. He's too bookish."

I said, “Well, let me think about it.”

Lao Xiao said: "Then you should think about it first."

We parted ways. I didn't drive, but walked slowly home along the Shangjiang embankment.

Actually, for me personally, this is the best of both worlds. I think my family would agree. First, I don't have to leave Sunrise, so I can continue to live in this house. Second, I can connect with a wide range of people and expand my business there.

However, there is one thing that I am very confused about. What if I earn a lot of money? Does this money belong to me or to the company?

For a moment, I couldn't figure it out.

When I got home, my parents and Xiaolin were playing cards. Seeing my worried face, my mother put down her cards and said, "Shanhong, it's not that I ignore you, but it hurts me when you act like this every day. What's wrong with you tonight? You look so gloomy again."

I said, "Let's stop playing cards. I just want to discuss something with you guys."

Xiaolin immediately took the cards away and made me a cup of tea.

I recounted what happened at the evening meeting.

My mother clapped her hands and said, "Isn't this good? You want to go, and the company is sending you. We can accept this approach, and you won't say we're obstructing you every day."

My father said, "Your mother is right. You are still an employee of the company, you just moved to a new location. Plus, transportation is convenient now, so it's easy to come and go. Xiaolin is at home, and we can take care of him. Why are you still so gloomy?"

I gave a wry smile and said, "I wasn't gloomy. I was clamoring to go, but now that I'm really asked to go, I'm a little worried about my family."

My mother stared at me and said, "Home? You don't usually worry about it. We are both in good health, and Xiaolin can take care of himself. The most important thing is that the company is here, so we can ask for help if we need anything."

I said, “I’ll think about it.”

I stood up and went to the bedroom to take a shower first.

After taking a shower, I told Xiaolin about my concerns - it would be impossible to go there without doing some private work, and whether the money should be handed over to the company or belong to me.

Xiao Lin said, "When you first start working there, tell Mr. Chen clearly that you might do some consulting work outside of work. You can turn over half of your income to him."

When you feel your income is high enough, you can resign. To be worthy of the company, you can refuse the company's salary and become a voluntary cultural consultant for the company.

I stared at Xiaolin for a long time.

She asked, "What's the matter? You don't know me? Is this the first time you've seen me?"

I shook my head. "No, you're absolutely right. I'm almost tempted to become your disciple."

She twisted my ear and said, "Master Wan, you're always talking endlessly when giving advice to others, but you can't think clearly about your own affairs for a long time."
