Chapter 451 Keep a Low Profile
As Lin Xiangnan complained, Xie Minglang's neck shrank shorter and shorter, and he didn't even dare to raise his head to speak.
"I was wrong, I was wrong. I won't say that to you again next time. I know you took a lot of trouble with the technical matters."
"Hmph~ Now I know!" Lin Xiangnan crossed his arms, looking like he was feeling aggrieved but enduring it for the sake of the overall situation.
"Don't be angry, sit down quickly, I'll pour you some tea." Xie Minglang coaxed him in a gentle voice.
After two minutes of acting, he thought it was enough, and any more would be too much. Xie Minglang gently pulled Lin Xiangnan to sit on the sofa.
"Forget about the tea, get me a bottle of iced Coke."
The two of them drank iced cola and discussed the company's affairs. Most of Xie Minglang's decisions were correct, and Lin Xiangnan had nothing to remind him of.
She just needs to pay attention to her own interests and not let Xie Minglang steal her away.
However, their cooperation is now in the honeymoon period, and Xie Minglang has no intention of doing anything bad, so the conversation is still very pleasant.
The company's paint is mainly sold through export. Companies that can earn foreign exchange have subsidies and policy support in China. Even if the price is low, as long as they can sell, the company will not lose money, not to mention that the company's products have technical advantages and can be sold at a high price.
As long as there is money to be made, Xie Minglang is happy to be busy.
"Just prepare for your graduation defense. Leave the company's matters to me, don't worry, nothing will go wrong." Xie Minglang took the initiative to take responsibility.
He really thought Lin Xiangnan was very busy. After being reprimanded by Lin Xiangnan, he didn't dare to ask Lin Xiangnan to work overtime.
It is not easy for a person to work two jobs. The key is that Lin Xiangnan has done an excellent job in both jobs. If he has achieved this, how can he not be busy?
"I have no doubts about you doing your job." Lin Xiangnan cleared his throat and said, "I have to go back to the school laboratory. It's a critical period recently and I can't be without you."
"Then go and do your thing. I won't see you off. I'm busy too."
Xie Minglang was really busy, but as soon as Lin Xiangnan left the office, he threw himself into Aunt Hua's arms.
"What took you so long? I've been waiting for you in the car for half an hour."
"Since we're meeting, let's chat about company matters. It took us a little while." Lin Xiangnan closed the car door and urged the driver, "Hurry up, hurry up, don't stay here too long."
If Xie Minglang came out and saw Aunt Hua in the car, the scene would not be so pleasant.
Having been Lin Xiangnan's driver for a long time, he has done many sneaky things like this. As soon as Lin Xiangnan urged him, the driver would step on the accelerator and drive away.
"Going out for a walk is like being a thief." Aunt Hua couldn't help but complain.
"I can't help it. I have to consider the mental health of my partners. The company is just starting out and it's a busy time. I still have to be considerate of Mr. Xie. What if people are demoralized and no one is working?" Lin Xiangnan said thoughtfully. He felt that he was a very good person.
"You've invested so much energy and money, why don't you keep an eye on it yourself?" Aunt Hua said with an attitude of an experienced person: "Last year, I invested in two old friends' sons. One business failed, and the other did succeed, but told me that it was losing money and I didn't get any dividends."
They are all children of old friends. Although the old friends have passed away, Aunt Hua is willing to lend a hand when their children have problems.
A man wanted to borrow money to raise pigs, so Aunt Hua took the initiative to invest. Then, all the pigs in the pigpen died of swine fever, and she lost all her money. Now this man no longer raises pigs, but chickens...
Another man wanted to start a clothing business, and Aunt Hua found a way to buy him a batch of cheap second-hand sewing machines as an investment. As a result, the business seemed to be booming, but Aunt Hua hasn't even gotten back her capital yet.
It's better to look at the face of the Buddha than to look at the monk's. Even if Aunt Hua was unhappy, she didn't say anything for the sake of her deceased friend. She just regarded the money as a gift to her deceased friend and didn't find fault with the young man.
"My father's family had a factory thirty or forty years ago. I haven't been involved in business for so many years, so I'm still unfamiliar with it." Aunt Hua reflected, "Next time I invest, I have to keep my eyes open."
"You can invest in students from our school. If you start a business based on technology, once it succeeds, it's like digging for gold, which is more profitable than raising pigs!" Lin Xiangnan said excitedly, "There are a few students I'm quite optimistic about. Can I help you with the lead?"
Aunt Hua is rich, but she really doesn't understand technology.
Even if she didn't understand, she knew that research and development was a waste of money.
Lin Xiangnan and Xie Minglang cooperated. Xie Minglang demolished the laboratory building and various equipment in the early stage, and later imported a second-hand production line. Not to mention the small amount of money for workers' wages, Xie Minglang spent millions on hardware facilities alone. The main reason was that the production line was too expensive.
When the country was just liberated, Aunt Hua hid some money, but it was not enough to reach hundreds of thousands.
Hearing Lin Xiangnan's active and enthusiastic desire to help, Auntie Hua directly refused, "Forget it, forget it, don't pull strings, I'll just invest in a small business. I can't afford to support those money-eating beasts you introduced."
"You can afford it. Take your collection of trinkets to an auction house in Hong Kong and bid for a few of them. That way you can make money." Lin Xiangnan said with a smile, "I'm willing to give them up, so why can't you?"
"I can't bear to part with it." Aunt Hua said calmly: "The money earned by the investment company may not be as much as the appreciation of the antiques. I'd better keep it safe."
Lin Xiangnan dares to invest in high-tech related industries because she is a top student, she knows the business and will not be fooled.
Auntie Hua didn't understand, so she just didn't touch it, to avoid being cheated. The higher the IQ of the person, the more sophisticated the means of cheating people, and she couldn't stand it.
Anyway, she has reached this point now and has no shortage of money. Unlike Lin Xiangnan, he still wants to expand and strengthen his school's laboratory and lacks a lot of expensive equipment.
"You've taken a lot of trouble to set up a company that can earn foreign exchange. You don't have to wait for the boss to approve your funding. You can buy foreign goods directly. It's really convenient." Aunt Hua asked with concern: "When will the next batch of equipment be donated?"
"Not recently. Xie Minglang's father is coming to the mainland next month, so we have to keep a low profile." Lin Xiangnan sighed with some regret.
