Wang Tianxiao vaguely remembered his son saying that the most recent great period of art and literature was the Republic of China, a time when many masters emerged. So he bought some of the works of those masters, whether he knew them or not.
He handed Wang Xiaolan dozens of books and told her that she could buy more if she didn't have enough.
Learning knowledge is beneficial. In the future society, cultured people will have a better life. Wang Tianxiao himself is a prime example, and he hopes that his children can all become cultured individuals as much as possible.
With Wang Tianxiao's support, Wang Xiaolan's confidence increased considerably, and she even began to have the idea of submitting articles.
Encouraged by Wang Tianxiao and Li Yali, she finally mustered up the courage to send her first submission to Readers Digest.
She knew the chances of her work being published were very slim, but she hoped to get some feedback from the editorial department so she could continue to learn and improve, and eventually realize her dream of becoming a writer.
Wang Tianxiao handed a large jar of sealed deer blood wine to Zhang Wenyuan, then took out a small dark brown bottle and waved it in front of Zhang Wenyuan in the sunlight.
Confused, Zhang Wenyuan asked curiously, "What's in here?"
"nice one."
"Stop keeping me in suspense, just tell me."
"It's deer placenta powder."
Seeing that Zhang Wenyuan didn't understand immediately, he added, "It's powder made from dried deer placenta, like the one you had last time..."
"Oh, so that's what it is."
Zhang Wenyuan was very happy. Last time, he told Wang Tianxiao about a client and his wife who had been trying to conceive for many years but had not been able to have a child. The couple was rich and powerful, but they were middle-aged and still had no children. Zhang Wenyuan had learned about this by chance and naturally kept it in mind before telling Wang Tianxiao.
Wang Tianxiao knew that deer placenta powder was very effective in treating infertility, but he was actually quite unsure of the exact extent of its effectiveness.
He then agreed to give it a try to Zhang Wenyuan.
Anyway, at the time, I was thinking that his deer was about to give birth, and it just so happened that a deer fetus was born.
So, after drying and grinding it into powder, it was delivered to Zhang Wenyuan.
Since their relationship was now quite close, they didn't discuss the price. Zhang Wenyuan took out two stacks of ten-yuan bills and gave them to Wang Tianxiao. Wang Tianxiao didn't refuse and put them in his bag, then casually placed the bag on the side of the sofa.
He came to see Zhang Wenyuan today not only to deliver wine and deer placenta, but more importantly, to hear about Zhang Wenyuan's progress and whether there were any difficulties along the way.
After the two sat down, Zhang Wenyuan briefly spoke to him.
Because the missing prefabrication plant manager could not be found despite the joint efforts of various departments, and considering that the search for the missing utility pole is related to the well-being of the people, all parties discussed the need to reorganize the prefabrication plant.
In those days, the legal system was not very sound, and many problems were exposed during the period of rapid economic expansion.
Faced with this prefabrication plant, the decision was made to seal it off directly and then have new personnel take over. The original owner was wanted by the Public Security Bureau, which was a quick adjustment to the direction of the problem-solving.
Everyone knows that this solution is somewhat hasty and may not fully comply with legal requirements.
But that person has vanished without a trace, and we can't find him anytime soon. We can't let things just sit there. Finding a new person to take over is the most effective strategy.
The new takeover candidate is supposed to be screened, but in reality, this kind of mess is not popular to begin with, especially in the prefabrication plant industry where the future is uncertain. Moreover, taking over requires a lot of capital, so even after the announcement was made, no one was willing to make a move.
Zhang Wenyuan arrived rather late.
He only gave it a try when everyone thought there was no hope.
But he was a typical businessman, and he didn't try to bargain with the reform team. In this special era, most people would have been labeled for doing this, but Zhang Wenyuan had a strong background and was well-versed in business negotiations. He managed to get the reform team leaders to not only not cause him any trouble, but also highly appreciate his participation and were willing to give him some policy support. He made a fortune.
However, a good start is just the beginning. To truly make money, you need to put your ideas into practice.
Wang Tianxiao and Zhang Wenyuan were both well aware of this.
"Congratulations on successfully acquiring this factory in such a short time."
"The final deal isn't complete yet. The situation is still quite complicated because the former boss hasn't returned. At most, I can only temporarily borrow the factory's equipment and facilities. If he suddenly returns or is arrested, we'll have to go through a process. But if he's unwilling..."
"How could he possibly refuse?" Wang Tianxiao smiled faintly, saying somewhat cruelly, "From the moment he started thinking about doing this, he was already on a path of no return. With the kind of crime he committed, he'd probably be shot ten times over. If nothing unexpected happens, he probably won't have the chance to see his factory again. However, you still need to be careful and make sure to sign agreements with all the relevant government departments, just in case—I mean, just in case—there's any trouble, so you won't become the scapegoat."
Zhang Wenyuan didn't know what a scapegoat was, but he could roughly guess what it meant. He nodded and said, "Don't worry about that. No one can talk back to me in this kind of situation. It's just that I'm a little lost when I take on this mess. I don't know where to start. After all, I used to work in the food service industry. This is a completely new field. It's like being in a completely different world."
Zhang Wenyuan looked somewhat troubled, and Wang Tianxiao could tell that he wasn't just being polite; he was genuinely a little confused.
