this man is not calm

Chapter 346: Short-term fate
Due to his background, Jin Shang didn’t know much about the automobile industry, especially the grassroots user market. In his previous life, his circle of friends didn’t have many practitioners. After two lifetimes of accumulation, all his knowledge was basically limited to those who could drive and were proficient in traffic regulations. .

With his uncle Jin Miao introducing him in detail, Jin Shang felt that today was not in vain. He had benefited a lot from what he had seen and heard.

Being divorced from reality is a big problem that Jin Shang has always wanted to avoid, but it has become unstoppably more serious.

Busy, getting busier and busier, no time to understand!
In addition, few relatives and friends are willing to put aside their dignity and make hard-earned money.

Things like information cocoon rooms will not appear just because a time traveler has an ancestral "gold finger".

If you hadn't heard it with your own ears, you wouldn't believe it. Under certain circumstances, expensive and low-cost luxury cars can sell better than affordable cars.

The market is changeable. At different times, in different places, the external conditions are different. Past experience may be a cancer that brings the business to a desperate situation.

After visiting several important venues in the second-hand car market, the two went back to sit for a while and then said goodbye to each other.

Seeing Jin Shang driving away, Jin Miao's wife Yu Chang watched the dark gold car drive away and complained to Jin Miao:

"I've never heard of you having such a relative before..."

Even though Jin Shang behaved calmly, the arrogance he displayed from time to time, which made him stand out from others, as well as the commanding demeanor of being in a position of power for a long time, were something that most people couldn't pretend to be.

This is definitely an extraordinary young master who came from a wealthy family. As for whether he is a man with gold and jade on the outside and an embroidered pillow on the inside, it is hard to say.

However, judging from what we know so far, it doesn't seem like a simple thing.

Otherwise, the elders in the family would not have handed over such a huge property to him.

Jin Miao smiled bitterly and said:
"The relationship with my eldest brother who has passed away many years ago has not been in contact for a long time, and there is no friendship at all."

"Is the old Mrs. Xian you are talking about the same old lady who came here last year? The gift money was very generous..."

"Didn't I mention it to you before? With a relative like this, the bad fate of the past, dust to dust, dust to dust, there is nothing worth talking about."

"Then you didn't say you were such a big shot. This is the first time I know that the second-hand car trading markets in several areas are owned by the same family, and they are relatives with the same surname as you."

"Didn't I know about it not long ago?"

Jin Miao spread his hands helplessly.

Huang Zhengkuo is old and has no time to take care of the general affairs. The place below is naturally a mess with numerous hills. Several cooperative car dealers in the same exhibition area have signed contracts with different companies. Who wants to know if the big boss behind the scenes is from the same family? of?

My wife Yu Chang is from Sichuan. She has the unique thrifty housekeeping and fierce personality of Sichuan girls. When she worked hard to start a business in her early years, she devoted a lot to the family.

Even though I'm living a good life now, I suffered a lot in the past.

Yu Chang became a little upset when he thought about the days when the family, with two children, were crowded into a small cubicle of a few square meters, eating plain water noodles for more than a month because of the failure to pay the bills.

If I had known I had such thick thighs, I don’t know how many detours I could have avoided if I had the nerve to give him a hug.

"Isn't it great now?"

Jin Miao, who smiled innocently, did not refute, knowing that his wife was not really angry, but was just complaining out of habit.
"Although their family's surname is Jin, they are a branch of 'Jiangxia Huang'. The grievances and hatreds there are more troublesome than those here. You have seen the movie "Big Era" and the TV series "Jinfen Family", it is based on them Adapted from the prototype of home.”

"Ah!!! That's really a rich man..."

Yu Chang came from central Sichuan. His hometown is at the junction of eastern Sichuan and western Hunan. He is a Tujia nationality who lives in the 18th bend of the mountain road and the 9th loop of the waterway. It is quite rare to come to the capital to work hard. Nowadays, life is getting better and he has more free time. , I usually don’t have many hobbies. I just watch TV series. Occasionally, I will take my family to watch a popular movie.

"What a wealthy family, we don't pay attention to this now. In the early years, the life of Ashang and Xiao was not particularly good. The so-called wealth does not fall from the sky, but comes from one's own efforts. This seems to be The prosperous second-hand car trading market is actually a hot potato. If you don’t have any skills, it will be a burden that can destroy your family. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is overwhelming. "

What's more, what Jin Shang took over was not one Mount Tai, but several.

For ordinary people, let alone being able to play the game, if they can avoid being frightened to death, then they are considered great.

How much strength, how big a hammer.

Aiming too high and having too high an eye but a low hand is a recipe for death.

Yu Chang finally agreed with Jin Miao's explanation.

"That's right. A child who is not yet twenty years old has such a heavy burden on his shoulders. It's a bit difficult for him."

"Instead of worrying about him, it's better to worry about our business. I think he is very confident. If he wants to make this second-hand car trading market bigger and stronger, we must keep up quickly. If we fall behind, we will be left behind." ”

"Aren't you his uncle? Shouldn't you give me this little face?"

Jin Miao smiled bitterly and said:
"There really isn't much love. Madam Xian's side has never been seen, and she's the only one looking for me. How can I get in touch with her? I don't know Ashang well when I was young, so I can't help but ask Xinghong to convey it on my behalf..."

"Xinghong, is this your childhood sweetheart? It turns out that...it's Xinghong's child. No wonder you are so cautious."

As he spoke, a strong sour smell hit his face.

"Here we go again! The child is already so old, and he is still thinking about this!"

"If I hadn't been watching, wouldn't you have gone to visit them when they separated? Is it possible that the old relationship would rekindle?"

"It's nothing! After all, we are childhood sweethearts who grew up together. We don't have any grudges in the first place. It's normal to care about how we are doing, right?"

Qingzhi knew that trying to reason in front of his jealous wife was a bad idea, so Jin Miao skillfully changed the subject.

"Stop making trouble in front of the children. It will have a bad influence. Go back and have a rest. I'll buy some good vegetables for dinner tonight."

After being married for so many years, Yu Chang didn't know her husband's tricks. However, after saying a few sour words, they were no longer entangled.

"If you want to interact with me in the future, be fair and aboveboard. Don't be sneaky and then say I'm stingy and unreasonable."

"I know, I know!"

In the past, the lives of the two parties had almost no intersection. Now, it is difficult to avoid seeing him. There is no way he will come to you for help in the future.

In the past, I didn't deliberately avoid him, I just habitually stopped interacting with him to reduce trouble. Now, I definitely won't stay away from him.

Getting along well doesn't mean building relationships, making friends, or anything like that, but trying to have business-related interactions between adults, with at most a little bit of unexplained past origins mixed in.

In the second-hand car trading market, Jin Miao is not the top one. After all, he has many years of experience and a big business. He is much richer than ordinary small businessmen, but compared with the Jin family and his son, he is still far behind. The social influence is even more unmatched by flattery.

Even so, Jin Miao also knew that he was naturally one step ahead than those of his peers. Getting to know each other, being able to talk to each other, and establishing initial trust is a great success in itself.
-
On the way home, Jin Shang received a call from his mother, Mei Xinghong.

"Yes, he is very energetic and his family has a good relationship!"

"After chatting for a while, I felt that he was a very down-to-earth person, with a bit of hidden pride. He was not difficult to get along with, but he was not an easy person to get to know."

"I've already called my grandmother. She has a cold face but a warm heart. She's just not very good at expressing, especially such delicate thoughts."

"Others? None. We chatted about the current situation of the trading market, exchanged contact information, and then came back. I guess he wouldn't come to me if he had nothing to do, and even less if he had something to do. Unless... I am desperate and have no other choice.”

"That's it. I'll hang up and I'll be home soon."

It can be clearly felt that Jin Miao, this cheap uncle, is still quite capable, but he just doesn't have a good family environment for him to show off.

Jin Sancai became prosperous too late, and he died soon after being protected.

It is not easy to get to this point by relying on one's own ability without enjoying too many benefits from the elder brother. In another ten or twenty years, it is impossible to say that he will become a wealthy person with a small amount of wealth.

If I didn't have the support of noble people, I would probably be like this for the rest of my life.

In the future, if he has the ability and the intention to go further, Jin Shang will probably help him. If he doesn't want to cause too many entanglements, then...

"That's it!" 』

It's not that he dislikes him for not being a blood relative, but that he is too weak to gain a foothold in Jin Shang's business domain and industry chain.

Back at the old house, Jin Shang played with his little brother Jin Feng for a while to get acquainted with him so that the little guy would not forget about him again. After another dinner, he and Li Xuan left.

During this period, the family did not ask specifically about today's events.

As for my grandmother Xian Guizhen, she went to the sports goods counter with her old friend to buy a ski suit. It is said that she will go to the snow town in a while. I don’t know where she got the interest from, but I can’t stop her.

In her words, "Try as hard as you can while you can still do it. In a few years, you won't be able to move your old bones anymore."

Next, for a few days a year, everyone's living conditions stabilized.

Jin Shang spent nearly a week cleaning up the management team of the personal company he acquired.

Nine people were fired directly, and fourteen were persuaded to quit. Two people were unconvinced and wanted to give them a try, but Jin Shang slapped them in the face with the evidence they collected, and then they were taken away by the police.

The harsh methods frightened many people, and some unwilling people went to ask Huang Zhengkuo. As a result, of course there was no follow-up. In response, eleven more people left.

After some prestige building operations, he initially established his authority, drove away the most troublesome and stubborn guys, and took control of the lifeline. Then, Jin Shang stopped killing the chicken to scare the monkey and started to take it slowly.

Through job transfers, department reorganization, division of powers, and detailed responsibilities, the messy management model was finally put into order.

As for the matter of packaging and auctioning market zoning lease rights, there is no rush. Let’s let the public know first, test the market reaction, and give everyone some time to prepare before raising funds.

As long as it is completed before the end of the year and the funds are fully withdrawn, that will be enough.

At home, after little Jinfeng was half a year old, he passed through the critical period of neonatal life and his body and bones became much stronger. After getting used to infant formula, Mei Xinghong was almost free and returned to her job of creating comics.

More than a year of silence does not mean that the studio has stopped. Mei Xinghong provides creative ideas and draws key original paintings, while secondary work is performed by assistants and apprentices in the studio.

This operation only slightly reduced the output, but the quality of the comic series was not reduced. It was really not easy.

Mei Xinghong has been working in this industry for many years. Several of her works have won awards, and several avatars have been selected into the annual most influential list.

In terms of influence in the minds of domestic peers, it is expected to be ranked among the top five, but it is stable to be ranked among the top ten.

In the past ten years, although Mei Xinghong has not produced a "completed in my lifetime" or a household name "migrant comic" level work, she has produced many serialized comics at a quasi-first-line level, and a large number of them have been animated.

What made her influence soar was her mother Mei Xinghong’s comic studio, which in more than ten years has trained seven or eight cartoonists who are still active in major domestic comic magazines and children’s literature markets.

This success rate is quite astonishing. This result is related to Mei Xinghong’s style and character. She does not neglect herself and teaches her skills to others. On the one hand, she is willing to take the initiative to contact magazine editors for newly debuted cartoonists. And publishing channels are also a top priority.

The competition in this industry is already fierce, and famous practitioners are not averse to imparting their skills to successors. However, few people are willing to cultivate a large number of competitors.

Although Mei Xinghong is not very sociable, there are still many people in the industry who have received her favor.

Give someone a rose, and the fragrance will linger in your hands!
Everyone carries the sedan chair, making Mei Xinghong somewhat like the "Little Song Jiang" in the industry. As long as it's not too troublesome, generally everyone is willing to give her face.

After more than a year of low ebb, when the owner returned, it returned to its original appearance, which made the somewhat uneasy people in the studio breathe a sigh of relief.

There are many female cartoonists/writers who quit the industry because they return to family, get married and have children.

It is no secret that Mei Xinghong went home to recuperate and give birth to her child. Whether she is willing to come back and continue to run the studio is still unknown. I heard that her family is quite rich and they don't really care about the studio's income.

Even many acquaintances know that Mei Xinghong’s original intention of drawing comics was not to make money or to have any dream of becoming a comic master, but a more simple idea, purely because she wanted to find a spiritual sustenance.

Now, this worry is a thing of the past.

In the first week after her return, Mei Xinghong reset her creative plan and appeased everyone in the studio before she had some free time.

December 6th, Friday, is going to snow heavily tomorrow. It is already cold in Beijing, but there is no tendency for it to snow in a short period of time.

After reviewing the paintings submitted by her assistants, Mei Xinghong drank afternoon tea and read today's newspapers.

Basically, Mei Xinghong just casually browsed and paid attention to the headlines and important news. Now, the year-end "money grabbing" plan led by Jin Shang is about to begin, starting with the release of music albums that can bring in quick money.

It has been almost a week since Dai Yiqin's new album's first chart-topping song, "Muma City," was released. As expected, it has overwhelmed his peers.

However, what attracted Mei Xinghong’s attention today was not the analysis of the general economic trend in the financial section, nor the popularity of Jinxi Culture’s works in the cultural section, but the exposition of some recent domestic business disputes in the rule of law column, as well as individual Scholars’ discussions.

In the extensive introduction of typical phenomena on the side page, Jinxi culture was highlighted.

Being famous is a good thing, but this time, it may not be so optimistic.

After reading it carefully twice, even though I am not familiar with my son's career and have little understanding of economic and legal issues, I still understand that the problems mentioned in this article are really not trivial.

After thinking for a while, Mei Xinghong grabbed the phone and dialed Jin Shang's number...
