Chapter 295 Group
1982
"Phew~ It's too hot today."
Ye Xiulan, holding a small and exquisite beige parasol, carefully dodged the scorching sun and trotted into the villa.
Ye Xiulan graduated from college this year and applied for a postgraduate program at the University of Hong Kong some time ago. She needed an interview today, so she went to the University of Hong Kong in the scorching sun, which really made her feel very hot.
Walking around the corridor, the air-conditioned air outside the hallway finally brought people back to life.
Ye Xiulan put her hands into her hair and shook her hair which was a little damp from sweat. She walked lazily into the living room, stretched out her legs, and collapsed on the sofa like a dumpling wrapper.
After taking a few breaths, the next thing to do was to find something to eat.
"Xiaoyue, please get me an ice cream. I want red bean flavor, thank you."
"Okay, Miss Lan, please wait a moment. I'll go to the kitchen to get it." Xiaoyue poured her a glass of water and turned to run to the kitchen.
Xiaoyue had only taken two steps when Jin Fenglian, who had come down from upstairs, stopped her and said, "Xiaoyue, don't give it to her."
Looking up at her daughter who was sitting awkwardly, Jin Fenglian said to Ye Xiulan in a bad mood, "What are you eating? You're not afraid of freezing to death if you eat three a day. I think you should just live in the refrigerator."
"Mom, I just came back from outside. It's too hot."
Ye Xiulan quickly sat down on the sofa, smiling as she went to sit next to Jin Fenglian. She picked up a piece of watermelon from the fruit plate and handed it to Jin Fenglian's mouth in a very servile manner.
Jin Fenglian tapped her forehead, took the fork from her hand, and said while eating watermelon, "You're so unruly every day. By the way, your father is coming to Hong Kong tomorrow. Remember to pick him up at the airport at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon."
"Ah! Should I go pick him up?"
After hearing the news, Ye Xiulan lay back with a look of despair, pouting and asking,
Why would her father go to Hong Kong for no reason? There are so many factories to manage in his hometown, how can he leave?
The most important thing is that it is too hot outside and she doesn't want to go out even if she is in the car.
"Nonsense, I'm not his daughter. If you don't pick me up, who will? Is it reasonable for only the bodyguard to pick me up? That's it. I'm leaving."
Jin Fenglian picked up her bag, kicked Ye Xiulan's hoof that was hanging on the carpet, and prepared to go out to play cards with the other ladies.
After living in Hong Kong for a few years, although Jin Fenglian's Cantonese is not very authentic yet, she has no problem with basic communication. After she became fluent in the language, the first thing she became addicted to was playing mahjong. She never missed a game and was more active in it than at work.
Ye Xiulan made a face at her mother and accepted the task resignedly.
Ye Sanxing doesn't come to Hong Kong very often every year. It's not that he doesn't want to come, but he really can't leave his hometown.
After the instant noodle factory and clothing factory they had built were opened, their profits exceeded their expectations. In less than a year, the profits earned by the factory were enough to open several more branches.
In order to help solve the employment problem in the county, Captain Qin discussed with Ye Sanxing and Ye Dajun and decided to expand the production scale and set up a company.
Captain Qin wanted to name the company after the Ye family, but the two brothers of the Ye family believed that the success of this factory depended not only on money but also on the enthusiasm of the villagers.
The factory is the result of the joint efforts of the villagers of Xiahe Village. Every brick and tile was built by the brothers themselves, and the goods were also produced one by one in the workshop by the villagers. When something good happens, how can they let the Ye family take all the credit?
This name should be chosen by everyone together.
Seeing that the two brothers really thought so, Captain Qin had no choice but to agree. After a vote by all the villagers, the company name was finally decided to be Dahe Group.
Everyone originally wanted to use the name of Xiahe Village and call it Xiahe Group.
But some people think that this name is unlucky. People always move up, so there is no reason to move down. If the company is called this name, it may go bankrupt one day. It should be called Shanghe Group.
The problem arises again: Shanghe Village is their neighboring village. They worked so hard in Xiahe Village to finally get the company off the ground, but in the end, are they just doing Shanghe Village a disservice? This name is even worse.
The two sides were arguing fiercely, and Captain Qin couldn't persuade either side, so he pulled Ye Dajun to mediate.
Ye Dajun was annoyed by the quarrel between the two sides, so he slammed the table and simply removed the two characters "上" and "下", leaving only the character "河".
As for the remaining word, please forgive him for his lack of culture, he couldn't think of any fashionable word after thinking for a long time, so why not just call it Dahe Group.
The great rivers and lakes, what a majestic meaning this has. Everyone thought about it and agreed, and passed it unanimously.
The current chairman of Dahe Group is naturally Zhao Jinguo, a business genius known throughout the area.
By reselling building materials, Zhao Jinguo successfully became the first family in the area to earn ten thousand yuan, except for the Ye family, in just a few months. He had a strong ability to convert money into cash and was a real gold magnet.
He was the first to propose the idea of integrating the factories, forming a company, and developing on a large scale.
He has the ability, ideas, and his heels are more flexible than the brains of the Ye brothers.
Most importantly, he is Zhao Zhaodi's younger brother and a close relative of the major shareholder Ye Lin. Naturally, the position of chairman belongs to him.
This time Ye Sanxing came to Hong Kong mainly to report to Ye Lin. Ye Lin is the major shareholder of Dahe Group. Even if he doesn't usually take care of things, he is still the big boss.
Ye Sanxing believed that he was at least a vice president and had an obligation to report the company's performance to the big boss behind the scenes on a quarterly basis, even though his big boss didn't want to listen.
"Lin, take a look. This is our financial statement for last quarter, and the budget for next quarter." Ye Sanxing took out a folder from his briefcase and opened it in front of Ye Lin.
Ye Lin took a rough look and found that the account was steady and the capital chain was well planned. It was basically consistent with the previous accounts and there was no major problem.
He quickly flipped through the document and signed it without thinking.
Ye Sanxing took a sip of water, put down his teacup, and saw that Ye Lin had finished signing. He said in a panic, "Lin, you just signed it like that? Didn't you see how much trouble Zhao Jinguo was going to make?"
"I see, I think it's okay."
"Isn't that a problem? He wants to open a chain of stores, buy land, and produce televisions. He wants to get involved in all these completely unrelated things, like making eight-treasure porridge."
The budget for the next quarter that Zhao Jinguo just put in the document is much higher than the previous one. Various industries want to get a piece of the pie, and they are very ambitious.
"Uncle San, this business has both risks and opportunities. The higher the investment, the higher the risk..."
"What's wrong with Eight Treasure Porridge? My brother can make Nine Treasure Porridge if he wants! Third brother, if you don't understand, just shut up. My brother's brain is top-notch. What can you and your eldest brother do with your brains? You can't even figure out how to dig a radish. I really don't know how you became the vice president."
Before Ye Lin could finish, Zhao Zhaodi burst in with a pot of tea and started to scold Ye Sanxing, successfully silencing him. He then quietly packed up his documents and dared not say another word.
Seeing that Ye Sanxing had become obedient, Zhao Zhaodi took advantage of the situation and snorted loudly with her chin raised. She was about to teach him a lesson,
"Sister-in-law, I was wrong. You treated me like I was talking nonsense. I'm leaving now."
Seeing that she was about to go to work again, Ye Sanxing quickly tucked his briefcase under his armpit, gestured to Ye Lin, and fled.
"Tsk, you good-for-nothing." Zhao Zhaodi rolled her eyes at his fleeing back.
Ye Lin put away his pen, pushed back his swivel chair, stood up and walked out, "Aunt, what's up?"
Zhao Zhaodi knew that there were important documents in Ye Lin’s study, so she would never come in on her own initiative unless there was something important.
Ye Linyi reminded Zhao Zhaodi that she had come back to her senses from her protective mood and remembered that she had come to complain.
He stamped his foot hard, raised his hand and pointed downstairs with shaking arms, and said excitedly, "Oh yes, something's happening! Go downstairs quickly and check it out. Your third aunt is having a male model show at home!"
Ye Lin stumbled.
Thanks to Rebecca, Zhao Zhaodi now knows all the fashionable words.
