Chapter 165
“Ooh!” Luo Zemin saw Xu Wen standing at the front door, tutting and marveling, “You don’t look like you’ve given birth at all”
Generally, when a woman has given birth to a child and has just come out of the month, she is all white and chubby Some of them have bulging stomachs that look like they are five or six months pregnant
Although Xu Wen was a bit more plump than when they first met, she couldn’t tell that she had just given birth to a child at all
Xu Wen raised her arm slightly, indicating the baby she was holding in her arms, “I can’t tell, I’m also the child’s mother! And on behalf of my daughter, I’m protesting against you for exposing us to the sun Our little male is afraid of the sun!”
Luo Zemin slapped his head, hurriedly stepping aside from the doorway, “Blame me! I was too excited! Come, this way please”
He took the umbrella in Xu Man’s hand and held it for both mother and daughter as they walked towards the office
Luo Zeming’s printer factory was no longer in the same state of disrepair as it was when Xu Man and Tan Changlin first came here
Now the new office building is in the process of being built, and is still going through the approval process
Individuals have just started to be allowed to build houses, and it’s a bit of a hassle to apply
The entire courtyard has been renovated, including the gate on which Tan Changlin hung himself
The new gate is more elegant, and there is a simple communication room at the entrance
The dog that scared Tan Changlin at the beginning now keeps company with the master of the communication room
The offices are still the same low-rise cottages, but the inside has changed dramatically
Luo Zemin is still in the center office, but the accommodation and kitchen have been converted into a proper office, with many employees inside
As the chairman of the board, he retained the status of a one-bedroom apartment
The once old second-hand writing desk was replaced with a new-style desk
The wooden chairs were also replaced with leather seats
Xu Wen had no problem directly occupying Luo Zemin’s new office chair, but also did not forget to squeeze him: “Luo boss can ah! This behavior is too much like a boss!”
It is filled with the flavor of a tycoon
Luo Zemin let out a long sigh and sat down on the new black leather sofa, “Don’t make fun of me! Entrepreneurship is too tiring! It’s also too difficult”
In the early stages of a business, there is often less money to be made and more work to be done, and many times you have to do it yourself in order to save money
Originally, Luo Zemin could have been a little more comfortable, because his first bucket of money was not small, but left a large sum of money to spend on building an office building
This made him go back to his pre-liberation days, and he had to be very careful about hiring workers
After the first bucket of money, the enthusiasm for stereo printers seems to have passed
Not to say that three-dimensional printing is not good, but really to be applied to the actual production, there are still a lot of problems to overcome
So the recent orders have been reduced
Luo Zemin had no choice but to open another production line specializing in the production of ordinary printers
His experience accumulated in the former factory accumulated contacts are lined up to use
Although it is a domestic printer, but the real quality of foreign brand-name printers, the current sales are not bad, supporting half of his factory’s profits
After the two exchanged a few pleasantries and shared recent developments, Xu Man went straight to the point: “Since we’re partners, I won’t beat around the bush with you, I came to try to discuss something with you”
“You say” Luo Zemin said painfully, “As long as I can do it I will definitely not be ambiguous”
If it wasn’t for Xu Man, he wouldn’t have been able to realize his entrepreneurial dream by now
Complaints aside, who would want to be a laborer when they could be a boss?
“On behalf of Rainbow Island, I cordially invite you to start a branch factory on our Rainbow Island”
Luo Zemin choked and coughed as a mouthful of water spewed out of his nose
“Say that again, what am I being invited for?”
“To start a factory on Rainbow Island”
“Mr Xu, are you kidding me?”
What kind of joke is that? It wasn’t like he hadn’t been to Rainbow Island before
What’s the point of going there to open a factory?
To get off the beaten path?
“Just because I’m a partner with you, you’re the first one I think of when something good happens” Xu Man had a look of “I’m sending you a huge pie in the sky, don’t be ungrateful”
Luo Zemin’s smile froze on his face
If it were anyone else, he would have blown them away long ago, but because the other party was Xu Man, he was a little more tolerant
Nodding his head, “Alright, then tell me first, what kind of good thing is this?”
“Rainbow Island has land that can be used for you for free”
Luo Zemin instantly became a few points more serious, he was now too aware of what this sentence represented
Like this factory he was now renting from someone else, if he wanted to build a house he would have to go through the landlord’s permission first and he would also have to shell out money
The point is that even if he is willing to pay money, he may not be able to pass the application Because it is about the land
Land is not allowed to buy and sell
So almost a year after the toss, his office building application is still in the approval process, it is very likely to pass
Even if it passes, he won’t be able to move in the future
And the temptation in Xu Man’s words could be imagined
He can build his own factory on Rainbow Island, and both the factory and the house are his
Luo Zemin swallowed his saliva, calmed the excitement in his heart, and began to ask questions, “Just having a factory building won’t do I can’t just buy another boat and pick up and drop off employees every day, right?”
In the morning, he picked up the boat from Pengcheng and sent it to Rainbow Island, and then returned from Rainbow Island at night
How much would a boat cost?
The round trip journey was also two or so hours, who would want to travel so far when getting the same amount of money for the same work?
“I’ve thought about this issue as well Initially, you can just produce the stereo printer on Rainbow Island The workers needed aren’t too many, the sisters-in-law on the island can help Moreover, starting this year there might be veterans staying on the island to live, they are good at their work! Slowly the island will have enough workers”
“As far as I know, the veterans won’t be discharged until winter for another six months! What about those six months?”
“Speak as if your plant could be built tomorrow It takes a while to build a factory building, doesn’t it? It’s already July, so when it’s finished, it’ll be around the National Day, right? At that time really lack a half a star of workers or have a particularly urgent order I will give you a way”
Either find people to work overtime, or send out a ship for him to pick up people from Pengcheng
Not just two or three months how can also pass
Luo Zemin was silent for a longer time this time
Xu Wen also did not rush, directly bombarded people: “Trouble you go out to think, I need to feed a milk”
Luo Zemin: “”
Luo Zemin gets up and pulls the curtains closed, leaving and bringing the door to her
And thoughtfully stands in the doorway, giving her a guard
The door doesn’t work very well, it won’t bolt from the inside
Luo Zemin stood in the doorway, thinking in the sun, causing passing workers to look at him
After a while, Xu Wen called out, “Come in!”
Luo Zemin entered, opened the curtains, and took a deep breath to ask Xu, “I’ve thought it over! I promise”
“So soon?” Xu asked a little surprised but not particularly surprised, after all, when he was looking for Luo Zemin to partner with him as a printer, he was also so painfully quick
Luo Zemin shrugged and asked her, “Do you have a say in the matter of Rainbow Island’s land?”
Xu Wen shook her head, “Of course it doesn’t count!”
Luo Zemin: “”
“Are you teasing me?” Several large words were written plainly on Luo Zemin’s face
“Not teasing you” Xu asked, “What I say doesn’t count, what my master says counts”
Before coming, of course, he had to convince Lu Yuanzheng first
For something this big, even Lu Yuanzheng had to make a report upwards to apply first
It was only when the report was approved that Xu Man came to discuss with Luo Zemin
“Come on, let’s eat and talk I’m a bit hungry” Xu Man got up holding the baby
Breastfeeding people were easily hungry
Luo Zemin invited guests and picked a newly opened restaurant, a very upscale kind
“Try his signature dish” Luo Zemin gave Xu Man the dishes, “This was recommended by a customer once, and I tasted it very good I don’t know if it suits your taste”
Xu Man thanked him
The two chatted as they ate
The conversation was about the details of the cooperation
Rainbow Island granted Luo Ze Min a piece of land to support him in building a factory, but it certainly couldn’t be given for nothing
The land was free to borrow, but the profit should definitely be shared
“Keep it simple, how many shares do you want?” Luo Zemin asked, “No, it’s us, not you You and I are partners, we are talking about the cooperation between our printer factory and Rainbow Island”
“Thirty-seven percent Printer Factory three, Rainbow Island seven”
Luo Zemin shook his head, “Isn’t that a bit of a lion’s share?”
“There’s a neighborhood under construction in Pengcheng right now that you should know about, right?”
Luo Zemin nodded, “Yes, I bought a house there”
Xu Man can share 20,000 dividends, Luo Zemin as the biggest shareholder of the big boss to make money is of course more than Xu Man
Xu asked, “”
Suddenly felt that common wealth or common poverty is also quite good, after all, not so irritating
She also wanted a house of her own
It was a pity that in their Wei Zhuang Commune, or their city, twenty thousand dollars was considered Monopoly, and coming to Pengcheng was only enough to be the richest
And Luo Zemin has been able to lightly say “I bought a house there”
Must admit, this moment Xu asked a little bit do not want to lie flat
However, making money is a matter for later, now is still on the negotiation table
Although this negotiation is not at all rigorous
Xu Man took a sip of the round cup of soup and continued, “Then do you know how the developer cooperated with the government in developing this neighborhood?”
Luo Zemin shook his head
“Because land is not allowed to be bought and sold, so as a compensatory trade, the land is given to the developer free of charge, but the profit generated from building and selling the houses, the developer takes fifteen percent That means it’s less than twenty percent So, tell me, isn’t our thirty percent enough to be sincere?”
Luo Zemin frowned
Although he really didn’t know about this, he wouldn’t doubt Xu Wen’s words
After all, as the owner of a new neighborhood, he could find out about this sort of thing as soon as he asked around
The only thing he could struggle with was, “We’re not as profitable as other people’s real estate as we are as a real business Not to mention that they are Hong Kong businessmen Besides, there are many other benefits for us to buy a house there, such as I can settle in Pengcheng”
“Rainbow Island also has supportive policies Reducing your taxes for three years Besides, people are Hong Kong businessmen, and you’re still of Chinese descent? Where’s the difference?”
After three years, the printer factory should have become a climate
Rainbow Island’s investment also needed to see back money
This was indeed sincere enough At the very least, Luo Zemin couldn’t think of a reason to refuse and nodded in agreement, “Deal”
After thinking about it, he added, “Chinese people are worse off with money compared to other Hong Kong businessmen”
Xu asked, “”
The two chatted a few more times about other details of cooperation
For example, it would be best to change the fixed wages of the workers to piece-rate wages
In that case, the soldiers could also go to the factory to get a job every day off
Workers must have all the security, holiday benefits and whatever should be there
These Luo Zemin have no opinion, he has been working in foreign companies, foreign companies have always been not bad welfare, just about the culture is different, sometimes shortcomings of humanistic care
When Xu Man had enough to eat and drink, he announced that the meeting was adjourned
Luo Zemin: “”
“Is this appropriate for you? Don’t bully me for not understanding the country People’s local officials definitely don’t treat the big bosses they work with with the same attitude you do”
Xu Man got up with his child in his arms and looked down at him, “You’re the big boss?”
Luo Zemin: “”
He wasn’t, he was self-employed
Xu asked again, “I’m an official?”
Luo Zemin: “”
So Xu asked to go, Luo Zemin is responsible for the checkout, but also have to act as a drudge to send her to the Xu family landed in the small courtyard
Xu Man changed Xiao Xiachu’s diaper and took another nap
The lactating Xu Man had no distinction between day and night, sleeping when she was sleepy and counting when she woke up
When she arrived at the island at night, Lu Yuanzheng brought Dongsheng to the shore and waited for the mother and daughter
He went to the center island for a meeting today and couldn’t accompany Xu Man
Xu Man didn’t come back alone either, not two people to be exact
She also brought back Yuan Bao, Xu Che and Zhu Meizhen
Xu Che and Yuanbao are both on summer vacation Zhu Meizhen didn’t worry about Xu Man, so she brought them along to the island to take care of Xu Man
It was really to take care of Xu Man
Teenagers from the 1980s and those from the 2000s are really different
The children in Xu Man’s memory, even those as old as Xu Che, were still pampered and fed
Now, not to mention Xu Che, even Dongsheng can take care of himself, including washing his own clothes
Yuanbao could cook, and Xu Che was already able to help Xu Man with the baby
This way, Xu Man did have more time to busy himself
After Little Xiachu was born, this was the first time Xu Man had taken her out alone, and he was so tired that his entire body was bad
As soon as he returned home, he was spread out on the bed
Lu Yuanzheng changed his daughter’s diaper, cleaned up, washed his hands, and then came back to serve his daughter-in-law
Massage her back and legs
“Luo Zemin promised”
Lu Yuanzheng let out a “hmm”
Xu Wen waited for a while without waiting for the following, rolled over and looked at Lu Yuanzheng, “You don’t seem surprised at all?”
“When has what you wanted to do never been accomplished? Luo Zemin is no match for you Don’t look at him as a shrewd businessman, when he fights with you, he belongs to the category of being sold by you and still counting money for you!”
Xu asked, “”
“It always feels like this doesn’t sound like a compliment to me!”
Lu Yuanzheng lost his smile, “Hear that? My daughter-in-law is really smart”
Xu Wen raised her foot and kicked him, “I’m helping you, how dare you make fun of me? Is your conscience eaten by a dog, Lu Yuanzheng?”
Lu Yuanzheng grabbed her foot and held it in his hand, his gaze falling on her slender jade foot, his eyes deepening
“How dare I! I am grateful for my husband In order to show my gratitude, I would like to be a cow or horse to serve the woman” Saying that, he bullied his way onto Xu Man
Xu Wen: “”
“It’s okay now, right?”
Xu Man was angry that he had clearly taken advantage of the situation and was still playing nice, and was tempted to say no
But the two counted up and hadn’t done it for a long time, after all, Lu Yuanzheng had left the island early that time for intensive training
During the pregnancy, they hadn’t done it a few times in total, and they were always careful not to enjoy themselves
By Lu Yuanzheng so provoke, not to mention him, she is a little want to
She swallowed back her words and nodded gently
Xu Wen was a little nervous
She was afraid that she would be so loose that both of them wouldn’t feel anything
Xu Man has the soul of a modern man, in terms of □□, quite a bit more open than people nowadays
She had secretly looked for a magic mirror to check it out as early as the month
She had also secretly done the relevant rehabilitation training on her own
The magic mirror said that the first time after giving birth to a child may be very painful
The reason for the pain could be because of low estrogen, or perhaps because of inflammation or unhealed wounds
The latter doesn’t worry Hsu, she’s very hygienic and didn’t have a side cut
The main estrogen thing, she is not too sure
Xu Man closed her eyes and waited for Xu Man, but when she didn’t see Lu Yuanzheng move, she opened her eyes
She opened her eyes and saw Lu Yuanzheng looking at her
Xu Wen bristled, ”What’s your expression? Is it because you dislike me for having given birth to a child?”
“No, I just can’t get my mouth around it”
Xu Man became anxious, “Still saying you don’t dislike me? You even said that you can’t keep your mouth shut, so what is it if it’s not dislike?”
“It really isn’t” Lu Yuanzheng propped one hand on the bed, one hand pressed Xu Man’s shoulder, stopping her from getting up, “The main thing is that your expression doesn’t want to go to the clouds and rain with me, but is a little bit like valor ready to go to the guillotine”
Against such a generous face to die, to be able to kiss down to have a ghost
Not only could she not kiss him, but it was quite a blow
Is doing it with him so painful for her now?
Lu Yuanzheng thought for a moment and suggested, “If you’re not ready, then next time?”
Xu Wen really breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and nodded her head without missing a beat
Lu Yuanzheng’s eyes dimmed slightly
