Best partner
I originally planned to study in the factory for a month, but the more I learned, the more I realized my shortcomings, so I had to extend my stay to the end of the second month.
When they left, they were still wearing cotton clothes. When they returned to Yunnan, it was already a flourishing and fragrant spring. The air was filled with the fresh fragrance of new leaves, and the hope of new life was everywhere.
The Shen family specially prepared a large table of delicious dishes to welcome the brothers and sisters back from their studies. While eating, Shen Tianhua shared how good Zhongyuan's pharmaceutical factory was, how advanced the machines were, and how high the quality of the personnel was; he repeated his younger sister's original words: if you want to build a factory, you must build the best and use the best equipment.
Everyone's morale was high.
After dinner, the three brothers, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, squeezed into their little sister's room. Shen Tiannan placed a rectangular piece of paper on the desk.
"Little sister, here is 14,800 yuan. After the new year, the herbal medicine station business is good. Several nearby villages have been driven by our village and received more and more goods. You must need money to run such a large medicine factory. See if it is enough." Shen Tiancheng pushed the paper in front of the little sister.
The small piece of paper was white on all four sides with a light green background in the middle. There was a line of words on it: "People's Bank of China Lump-sum Savings Certificate", and the amount was written in capital letters: One Thousand Fourteen Thousand Eight Hundred Yuan.
"Brother, all our family's money is here, right?" She stared at the numbers on the deposit slip, hanging above her head, and the balloon blown up by the pressure became bigger.
Shen Tiannan, who was in charge of the money, said calmly, "No, the herbal medicine station has reserved more than 3,000. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I'll use the money at the pharmacy first. I can transfer the money here."
The payment for the medicinal materials must be made in person. In the past, we would have at least 5,000 to 6,000 yuan in funds every month, but considering that the pharmaceutical factory was in urgent need of money, we had to trouble Hu Zi to make more trips and come once every half a month.
Her heart ached, she held back her tears and choked up, "Thank you, brothers."
The Shen family's counterattack and today's situation were not achieved by Shen Roujiao alone, but by the concerted efforts of the five brothers and sisters in the Shen family.
If people are united, they can move mountains, let alone make money.
"We are all family, why thank each other?" Shen Tiancheng rubbed his younger sister's head, his eyes full of pity, "Brothers are always reliable and can't run away." He learned about his younger sister's breakup with Zhou Huaiyue from Hu Zi.
Shen Roujiao understood the implication of her second brother's words. The person who ran away was Zhou Huaiyue. He had not been back to Hedong Village for a long time. The villagers guessed that he was really leaving this time and would never come back.
Fourth brother Shen Tianyou also imitated his younger sister and patted her head, comforting her: "It's okay!"
She forced a smile and said, "Good thing."
That's right. It's better to make trouble in advance than to make trouble after the pharmaceutical factory is established.
......
The county approval document came down a few days after Shen Roujiao set out. In order to speed up the progress that had been seriously delayed, she asked Hu Zi to find a house in the county town, which was close to them and could take care of anything. Only then did the Shen family feel relieved.
The factory establishment procedures were imminent. Shen Roujiao's brain cells died several times just when it came to naming the pharmaceutical factory. Finally, she decided on "Sanhua".
The person arranged by Wu Yi was indeed knowledgeable. He took Shen Roujiao and ran around from morning to night for a whole day before completing all the procedures.
Pharmaceutical factory name: Sanhua Pharmaceutical, drug name: Sanhua Weitai.
After returning to the county with the pharmaceutical factory's documents, Shen Roujiao was contacted by the person in charge of developing the herbal medicine economy in the county government. He took Shen Roujiao to see two pieces of land, one in the north and one in the south of the city. The plot in the north was square, close to the railway station, and had convenient transportation. The plot in the south was narrow and long, far from the county seat, but had a good water source and a natural spring.
Without much thought, Shen Roujiao chose the second piece of land. Although transportation is a shortcoming at present, spring water will be a scarce resource in the future.
After completing the relevant procedures for the land for factory construction, she found the only design company in Xiaonanchuan City.
Because she had experience in factory design at Zhongyuan Pharmaceutical Factory, Shen Roujiao was able to clearly express her needs and future ideas for the site in the overall design of the pharmaceutical factory, and the drawings came out very quickly.
In addition, the other party was very professional and had many particularly good design points, which were able to discover demand points that had never been thought of before. After four or five rounds of revisions, the drawings became more and more perfect.
In early May, a warm rain made everything grow vigorously. The weather turned hotter. Shen Tianhua took his father and Shen Tianyou to visit his mother. When Shen Roujiao saw them off, she handed the latest version of the factory drawings to her eldest brother and asked him to take it to the master.
The first batch of medicines will be produced in August at the latest, and she will send them to them then. The master's decades of hard work will not be in vain, and "Sanhua Weitai" will be promoted by her.
The complete set of design drawings was finally completed.
That day, Shen Roujiao went to pay the remaining balance according to the contract, but was told that the payment had already been settled.
"What?" Her brows were twisted into knots and her brain continued to freeze.
But what the other party said next made her so confused that she went around in circles.
"Don't worry, the drawings have been given to the construction team and construction is expected to start soon."
? ?
Shen Roujiao pressed her temples vigorously and asked loudly, "Could it be that I am mistaken? I am the only person who is responsible for the design of the pharmaceutical factory, no one else."
The other party's face was filled with confusion. "Isn't there another person? He was the one who proposed many of the new design features."
???
"How could that be? You must have made a mistake. I was the only one involved from the beginning to the end." Shen Roujiao was firm in her attitude, unable to suppress her anger.
Seeing her intense reaction, which really didn't seem like an act, the other party immediately comforted her, "Don't be angry, we will check it right away, just wait a moment."
It's outrageous that his mother opened the door for something outrageous. It's outrageous to the extreme.
It couldn't be that someone was eyeing the land in her hands and deliberately causing trouble for her. The more she thought about it, the more it seemed uneasy. If someone really was paying to mess with her, Shen Roujiao planned to call the police directly.
After waiting for about ten minutes, the door was pushed open and the other party looked through the information in his hand: "Yes, absolutely. There is another one, his name is..."
The man narrowed his eyes, wrinkling his face, and tried to make out the words on the letter. "Zhou what..., what is this word?"
????
There was no time to think. Shen Roujiao rushed over to take a look. It was three words written in a dog-crawling manner: Zhou Huaiyue.
!
As if the name had cast a spell on her, her brain seemed to be emptied and she was dazed for a moment, staring at the three words with unfocused eyes.
After being at a loss for a long time, Shen Roujiao finally found her voice and asked absentmindedly, "How do I contact him?"
"The payment here has been settled, so he may not come again. If you want to find him, you can go to the construction team. He is probably there recently."
?
Unexpectedly, Zhou Huaiyue had even found a construction team.
"Which construction team?" When she asked, the other party's eyes almost popped out.
This is really the first time I met a collaborator. We all do our own things and have no contact with each other.
......
I found the construction team according to the address, but was told that the person in charge was not there and had gone to work at the construction site.
Her sixth sense told her that the construction site the workers were talking about was the pharmaceutical factory.
Shen Roujiao couldn't understand what Zhou Huaiyue was trying to do. He had already withdrawn and said he would no longer be involved in her affairs, so why was he still here? She had to find him and ask him clearly.
......
The plot south of the county seat.
More than ten people stood in a semicircle, surrounding the two in the middle. They worked together to unfold the blueprint and gestured in the air with their fingers, looking like they were about to give orders.
Among them, the one with outstanding temperament, tall and straight, would look down at the drawings from time to time. He seemed to have his own light and stood out from the crowd.
Shen Roujiao's thoughts were clear, and she let the wind blow his hair. As she raised her hand, Zhou Huaiyue glanced at her unintentionally, and then looked in her direction again and again.
Afterwards, he turned around and continued with his work as if nothing had happened.
She didn't know how long she waited, until the lush green trees in her heart shed their yellow leaves and sprouted new buds, and then she saw Zhou Huaiyue walking towards her.
Step by step, the coldness enveloped me.
Facing Shen's gentle "why" look, he spoke first: "Since I have promised, there is no way to give up halfway." Fearing that she would misunderstand, he added, "It's not for you, it's for myself."
!
Good one, keep your word and do what you say.
"You should discuss this with me." Her tone was weak, making the complaint less forceful and more like talking to herself.
"Aren't you satisfied with my suggestions for revision?" He glanced at Shen Roujiao, with an ambiguous look in his eyes.
Those design features that surprised and amazed her were all his masterpieces.
During the silent time, Shen Roujiao stared at the tip of his shoe, and Zhou Huaiyue stared at her eyebrows. Before her gaze returned to his face, his eyes turned into the distance.
"What do you want?" she asked.
People always want something, what does Zhou Huaiyue want?
It’s hard to say whether Shen Roujiao should be happy to have Zhou Huaiyue back or upset about the constant troubles after seeing him again.
But it must be said that, so far, the best candidate for partner is still Zhou Huaiyue. There is no partner more suitable, more outstanding, more rare, or with better resources and background than him.
Business is business, and she can overcome emotional problems.
"Half the shares," he replied.
Zhou Huaiyue looked serious and looked into her surprised eyes without dodging.
"No." She dropped her hand to the ground.
The right to speak and make decisions at Sanhua Pharmaceutical Factory must be in one's own hands, otherwise, one would be doing the work of others. Shen Roujiao suffered a loss in her previous life, and she will not make the same mistake again in this life.
Even if the person on the other side is Zhou Huaiyue, no exception can be made.
"You have 41%, I have 39%. This is my bottom line. Give you some time to think about it."
For a short yet long time, Shen Roujiao's silence was deafening.
They are really talking business, without any emotion, and they are in close combat with profit as the top priority.
Some of the beautiful past shattered into pieces and turned into black holes of memory, making people doubt whether they really existed, suffocating her throat and making her unable to make a sound.
Seeing Zhou Huaiyue turn around and leave again, the power in his heart finally broke through the restraints: "Deal."
His stiff back stood like a sculpture, the coldness on his body was blown away by the warm wind, the tight and hard lines loosened and shattered, turned into ash, and floated away.
But his voice was still cold: "From now on, just call me by my name. I am no longer your master. We are only doing business, not talking about feelings."
"Okay. Zhou Huaiyue."
The fingers in his trouser pockets moved slightly.
Before he pulled his lips down, he took out a stack of notes, handed them to Shen Roujiao, and said coldly: "Here are the invoices for the funds spent in the early stage. Please reimburse me in half."
!
This is the beginning.
After flipping open the invoice, Shen Roujiao narrowed her eyes like a little fox, took a breath, and called out in surprise, "How much?"
My god, he really knows how to spend money.
