Chapter 443 What you said makes sense

Although Lin Xiangnan and the others were unable to return home together, her spirit was with Lao Liu. As soon as she returned home, she began to inquire about the matter curiously.

"Is everything going well this time? No surprises?"

Before Gu Laoliu could say anything, Gu Zhenhua said with a confident look, "What kind of accident can happen? Big brother has been a coward for so many years, I don't believe he will suddenly become powerful this year. With Laoliu's skills, it will be easy for him to deal with them."

"It was a little unexpected." Gu Laoliu said a little embarrassedly, "Mom was so angry that she fainted. When I left, my eldest brother was still pinching her philtrum, and she hadn't woken up yet."

"Dizzy?" Gu Zhenhua slapped him instantly and praised him, "Not bad. You have gained a lot of experience in the past two years. You can even make people dizzy. Your skills have improved."

Gu Zhenhua loved to poke his family members in the lungs. He asked, "How did you say that? Tell me so I can learn from you."

"I didn't say anything. I just said that I also want to marry into the family." Gu Laoliu shrugged, looking innocent.

He was just talking. Gu Zhenhua had already done this. How could he compare to his brother?

After hearing this reason, Gu Zhenhua lost all interest in learning from others.

Today, Gu Chouni was mad at Gu Laoliu simply because there was no hope for the last youngest son. The eldest son of Gu Lao had two daughters, and the remaining sons all married into the family, and the children they had no longer had the surname Gu.

Gu Laoliu was the last straw that broke the camel's back. Not only was his contribution not as great as Gu Zhenhua's, but he was even less than Gu Laoer. After all, the two of them were real wives, while Gu Laoliu was just talking.

Thinking of this, Gu Zhenhua urged: "You should hurry up and deal with your personal problems. If you delay for too long, the Gu family may have other thoughts in their minds."

"I've been looking, but there's no suitable one." Gu Laoliu sighed, "I really want to find someone who is good at martial arts."

In a society like China that values ​​filial piety, as long as Gu Chouni and her husband are still alive, Gu Laoliu will always worry that they will cause trouble.

What if when the critical moment comes that a big family fight breaks out, and his wife has a good temper and can't bring herself to do it, then isn't she just going to suffer?

People like Lin Xiangnan are pretty good. Not only will she not suffer any harm in words, she will not suffer any harm in actions either. If anyone provokes her, she will throw him up for fun.

Even now, Lin Xiangnan doesn't need to do it herself, as she has already had bodyguards.

However, Lin Xiangnan had too many personal matters and little secrets of his own and didn't like having bodyguards following him all the time. When the progress at the school laboratory building was almost done, Lin Xiangnan quickly applied to let the bodyguards go back.

The critical period has passed. Even if Lin Xiangnan is not there, the project progress will not be stuck in the short term. In addition, Lin Xiangnan is not willing to be followed, so the bodyguard was transferred back.

The bodyguards left, but a security booth was added to the laboratory, where people from the school security department are stationed to guard the safety of the laboratory building.

Whether it is the school's laboratory building or the company's laboratory building, the security measures are very thorough. It is just a matter of hiring a few more people. Lin Xiangnan and Xie Minglang don't care about the money because their company is booming and they don't lack the money.

But as private enterprises emerged, the old-established enterprises were no longer having an easy time.

Before Lin Xiangxi came to Beijing for vacation, he knew that the pharmaceutical factory where the Hu family worked was not doing well and had not paid wages for two months. After returning home, he found that the situation was more serious than he had imagined.

The New Year salary has not been paid yet, and many families can't even celebrate the New Year. How can you celebrate the New Year without money?

Although Hu Meili gave her parents some money, she had no other choice but to advise them: "Just get through this. The factory will get the money soon, and the overdue wages will be paid."

"It's hard." Grandpa Hu shook his head and sighed. The whole family worked in the same company, and when they couldn't pay their salaries, life was really hard.

Because Grandpa Hu’s pension could not be paid, Hu Meili was also worried about her own future pension. After returning home, she made a special trip to the steel plant twice.

She was immediately relieved when she heard that the steel plant's production line was still running in two shifts as before and the machines had never stopped.

She said that the steel plant was a large one, and the steel it produced was always in short supply. Unlike the pharmaceutical factory where the Hu family worked, many of the drugs they produced were not very effective, so they were just for psychological comfort.

For many drugs, foreign companies have patents and there are technical barriers, so they cannot be produced domestically at all. Pharmaceutical companies can only make some drugs to fool people.

The factory's financial performance is not good now, and it is obvious that they can no longer fool around because the hospital's accounts are also tight.

All units eat from the same pot, and if there is a problem, it will be a chain problem.

For example, if a pharmaceutical factory has no money on its books, then it is not just out of money, it must have a lot of debts. It not only owes the upstream units that produce raw materials, but also owes the hospitals, because the annual medical expenses of the employees are all listed on a list and reimbursed by the unit at the end of the year.

There are more units that cannot afford medical expenses, and hospitals have no money, so they dare not prescribe medicine blindly. Now it is not like before, no matter how much money is spent, the unit will reimburse it in the end... If you prescribe expensive and useless medicine, the hospital may have to pay for it in the end.

As a result, the pharmaceutical company cannot pay employees or repay the hospital's medical expenses because it lacks the financial strength to sell its drugs... It's a vicious cycle.

In Lin Xiangxi's opinion, the pharmaceutical factory was basically hopeless. Hu Meili hadn't left yet, but he had already poached the girl from his uncle Hu Daxixi.

"Under the current situation, we can't even pay our salaries. Uncle, you might as well take a leave of absence and try your hand at the seaside business. It's better than wasting time in the factory."

Although the factory was not in operation, Hu Daxixi and his colleagues still had to go to the factory to sign in, and then play cards and chat to pass the time.

"It seems that the leaders above are about to give in. The government will allocate money, and they will have salaries." Hu Daxi said: "Your grandfather and his family sit in the yard every day. It's fine when they have nothing to do, but if the provincial or central leaders come, it will be embarrassing for them to do this. Even if it's just for the sake of face, the city leaders will give in."

When asking for help, you must have the attitude of asking for help. When the factory needs money, they dare not let the young and middle-aged people go, so they let the retired old men and women in the factory to take over. Unlike young people, the elderly cannot cause too much trouble.

After all, this was the company where he had worked for half his life. Lin Xiangxi could understand his uncle's reluctance to let go, but he presented the facts and reasoned with him.

"Even if grandpa and his friends get the money, what then? After receiving two months' salary, they are out of money, and grandpa and his friends go to block the door and ask for money? This trick is only a temporary solution and does not address the root cause! My uncle, you are the head of the family! The factory is not doing well, and you just sit there and let the whole family go hungry? You have to find a way to make money..."

Seeing that his uncle was about to be persuaded by him, Lin Xiangxi was about to add fuel to the fire when Hu Daxi raised his hand to signal him to stop.

"What you said makes sense. But I still have to ask your sister's opinion first."
