this man is not calm

Chapter 476 Shuo Rat
Bringing a girl you met through a blind date to a public event for the first time has great symbolic significance.

As the eldest son, Zhang Yunying is not without his own opinions. He is just suppressed by his strong mother since childhood and is not good at expressing himself. He still has some pursuits of his own.

Even if his mother nodded, if Zhang Yunying himself did not agree, the two of them would most likely not be able to get together.

The girl's family is quite complicated. There are many brothers and sisters in the older generation, doing all kinds of jobs. She has many brothers and sisters, and countless cousins.

At this age, people are definitely concerned about marriage.

Born in western Sichuan and raised in Beijing, he naturally wants to stay there. Many emerging wealthy people from other places like Zhang Yunying come to Beijing to develop, but not many can gain a foothold, especially those who can get a few pieces of land and buy real property.

This shows the power of the family's connections and network of relationships.

External conditions are definitely not a problem. The girl's family is not wealthy anyway. They earn at least hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars a year, and can save tens of millions in a good year, which is not bad. If you compare it with the brothers and sisters in the family, she is not particularly outstanding.

On the contrary, the farm run by Zhang Yunying's parents, although not conspicuous, has accumulated considerable wealth. Every quarter, tens of thousands of pigs, horses, cattle and sheep are slaughtered, and crops such as rice, wheat, corn and sorghum are piled up like mountains. Seafood such as chickens, ducks and fish are sent to the capital city in truckloads. The potatoes grown in the cold north are too many to be used up, so they have to make some strong liquor like vodka and sell everywhere. The dregs are very good cow feed and not wasted at all.

It wasn’t so profitable before, but it has become increasingly prosperous in the past two years.

The rest depends on Zhang Yunying's personal ability and charm.

"He's such a wealthy boss, but he still peels oranges himself and cracks walnuts without paying any attention to his image."

"Don't believe those nonsense rumors. We are all normal people. How can there be a living person who doesn't care about worldly things?"

Like the ones in the novel "Dream of Red Mansions", they have a small banquet every three days and a big banquet every five days, and they are very exquisite in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation. Even a snack like eggplant fish has to be fryed several times and many chickens have to be killed. The steamed lamb with milk that Lady Jia likes is even more troublesome. There are also some extravagant families who eat pepper oil, water shield sauce, chicken marrow bamboo shoots and dried civet cat for every meal, but Jin Shang's family is still a very normal and ordinary family. They don't have so many extravagant and extravagant things. At most, they eat more exquisite food, with more organic fruits and vegetables, traditional farm dishes and handmade clothes. They are considered a normal wealthy family.

"You said before that the two families didn't interact much, but it's only this year that they started to get more active?"

"Every family has its own difficulties..."

Zhang Yunying sighed slightly.
"It's too far away, and transportation is inconvenient, so there are fewer visits. And...Ashan's family has always had some minor problems. It was only a few years ago that my uncle and aunt reconciled..."

Every family has a difficult scripture to recite!
The father and son of the Jin family have been living their own lives for more than ten years. They don't have much contact with their aunt's or uncle's family. The old grandmother is not a person who is ascetic, but she is too lazy to deal with those troublesome social interactions and is used to being free. Only Old Jin can still take into account the connections and relationships passed down from the previous generation.

"My uncle's family are all very nice people. They may appear cold on the outside but they are warm-hearted. Ah Shang is also a person who cares about old friendships and is easy to talk to when he is familiar with us."

"Yeah! He must know a lot of big stars. It will be much easier to get autographs and take photos with them in the future."

"Maybe!"

Speaking of this, Zhang Yunying felt a little helpless. This girl was good in everything except that she was a little fanatical when it came to chasing stars. She didn't ask much about other things and only cared about whether her wish to shake hands with the stars could be fulfilled.

As time went by, the performances of Mei Shuying, Chen Fei, Fang Hua and others were over, Dai Yiqun's last chorus also ended, and the charity gala was coming to an end.

Overall, the event was very successful, raising a total of more than 400 million yuan in one night, which was slightly higher than expected.

Including donations and various expenses, Jinxi Culture contributed more than 30 million yuan, and Jin Shang himself invested more than 10 million yuan, which is not a small amount, but not particularly much either.

By the standards of a major publicity program, the results are well worth the money.

Once the donated money and supplies arrive at the required locations, the deliverymen and volunteers wearing vests with the words "Jinxi Culture" and the company logo will inevitably appear frequently in news photos and videos in major newspapers and on television.

Don’t underestimate this less intuitive exposure. As a rapidly growing new company, Jinxi Culture’s popularity cannot be compared with those traditional large enterprises and century-old stores.

Coca-Cola spent more than half a century distorting the image of Santa Claus in the minds of people all over the world into red. Diamond merchants have spent more than a hundred years linking carbon crystals, which have little value, with love. The slogan "Diamonds are forever" resounded around the world and was deeply rooted in people's hearts.

If Jinxi Culture wants to become a well-known brand or even rise to a cultural symbol, it still has a long way to go. After all, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and some things must be done from now on.

In the audience area, Jin Shang had just eaten a banana to fill his stomach when he heard his second uncle Mei Yingnian come over and say:
"Is the shipyard doing internal rectification?"

"Yes! Some people are really outrageous. I have warned them several times before, but they still won't stop. They are even more rampant, colluding with both insiders and outsiders, stealing from the company, and are too rampant."

"Ugh……"

Mei Yingnian smiled bitterly and shook his head, sighing,

"Some of them are senior colleagues who worked with me more than 20 years ago. The conditions for offshore fishing are very difficult, and many of them took good care of me. Later, when I got older, I needed a place to go. In addition, my children and nephews also grew up and needed to make money..."

"Someone came to you for help?"

"Of course. I guess he wants me to help him intercede."

"I don't want to kill them all. I want to pick a few to serve as a warning to others. The rest will either behave themselves or leave on their own. I will at least give them some face."

"Just let them do what they have to do. I don't want to care anymore! They are used to a comfortable life and don't want to suffer even a little. I remember your kindness, but that's not a reason for them to act recklessly. Who doesn't know what's going on in the factory? Only they think they are doing it covertly and no one will find out. Lao Hong has told me many times, but I just haven't dealt with it."

When a company grows bigger or has a long history, it will always have various problems. To be honest, the current turmoil at Beihai Shipping is not something that has just happened recently.

Jin Shang, who was blessed with the "golden finger", had long understood that there was a problem over there, but he thought that "too clear water will have no fish", so as long as it was not too excessive, he turned a blind eye.

After the control of the company was transferred to Jin Shang, everyone was relatively honest during the period when he served as chairman. After the "three fires of a new official" were done, and after a period of time, there was not much action, and those people put their worries to rest.

By 1998, Jin Shang was no longer the chairman and was no longer in charge of specific affairs. He only served as deputy manager and senior consultant. Especially after Hong Renquan retired and a new chairman and general manager were appointed, the "rats" who had been silent for a long time began to stir again.

As for what operations are involved, there are indeed many. Some of the more perfunctory ones include wearing loose work clothes, tying things directly to the body, or hiding in the car or under the car when a government car enters or exits to avoid gate inspection.

There are also some more direct but difficult to detect methods. For example, on-site construction workers kick the cables on the deck into the water (river or sea water) when no one is paying attention, and then find an opportunity to row a small boat to fish them out at night when it is dark and windy. As for the loss of materials, there are so many complicated issues that it is impossible to find out.

If something is missing, you may not even know it's gone, let alone look for it. Beihai Shipping once had a big scandal. During a crackdown on a theft and resale gang, law enforcement agencies seized a large number of copper cables and found the criminals following the signs that had not been erased. Only then did the factory realize that things had been stolen. No one knew how many things had been stolen in this way before.

What’s even more hateful is that the requirements for marine cables are extremely high, several levels higher than similar products on land. They must undergo multiple tests and obtain certificates from several major classification societies before they can be used on ships. They are extremely expensive.

These "rats" stole the cables and sold them at the price of scrap metal, which is simply outrageous.

Most of the old people in the shipyard came from my second uncle Mei Yingnian's line. It is always a bit difficult for them to bring themselves to stab their own people.

This is also one of the reasons why some people are so fearless.

Jin Shang is not a petty person who can't tolerate any grain of sand in his eyes, but it is too hateful to keep making fun of him.

The last time I went to Beihai Shipping, it was not just to hold meetings and promote restructuring, but also to clean up. Although Jin Shang is no longer the chairman, it does not mean that he has lost control of the company.

"You can do whatever you want. Don't worry about my face. I knew a few years ago that it was used as a place to live and earn money for retirement. In addition, the shipping market was sluggish and it has been running out of money, so I wanted to sell it. Since you have saved it, you should take good care of it. This business... if you do it well, there are many benefits. It is a cyclical industry. As long as you control the risks, you can still make money."

"I know! We have almost recovered now. Once the reorganization is completed and we are ready to go again, there may be another 10 to 20 years of prosperity."

In the following short period of time, Jin Shang also talked with Hao Qilian about wireless value-added services, PHS account sharing and high-speed broadband promotion. Basically, they followed the previous model. It must be said that electronic games are really one of the powerful boosters for the development of the IT industry. Driven by the online game "Fengshen", more and more people began to join in. The speed of applying to open Internet cafes in various places has increased a lot. The second-hand computer market is very hot. Everyone is making money and everything is getting better.

As the first massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) in China and possibly the first in the world, the online game "Fengshen" is much more popular than imagined. There are probably less than 1.5 million networked computers in the country, and nearly half of them are supported by large and small Internet cafes that have opened in the past two years. Logically, there shouldn't be so many players.

Unlike the situation after the millennium in the previous life, the biggest difference in this life is that there are more than 10 million game consoles in the country, of which about 5 million are supported by the VENUS series of game consoles.

I am not sure about the brand products of other manufacturers, but the products released by Planet Intelligence have added interfaces for peripheral network cards since the VENUS 2 and PLUS models.

In most cases, game consoles are not compatible with universal software, and game clients may not necessarily be able to drive it. However, under the leadership of Jin Shang, its products all have compatibility considerations. Under the guidance of the overall strategy, the software and hardware of game consoles have specific optimizations, and a customized version of the online game "Fengshen" has also been developed simultaneously.

In the actual operation process, there will inevitably be bugs and poor experience, but it will definitely be able to run.

Games around the millennium generally did not have high requirements for configuration. The so-called 3A masterpieces of the future that would require high-end hardware to run smoothly are now nowhere to be seen.

The current good results are the result of the seeds Jin Shang planted three years ago.

The task of reaching one million PC players may be difficult to accomplish, but if the number of game console users is included, it will definitely be enough.

Game servers are added one after another in the data center, electricity consumption is rising steadily, and the resources and costs consumed by broadband servers every month are truly terrifying.

Fortunately, we had optimistically anticipated the rapid development trend, so we were not caught off guard at this time.

After a brief exchange after the charity dinner, Jin Shang, Mei Fengchun, Zhang Yu and others joined Zhang Yunying and her partner.

In the Yuanqilou private room that had been booked in advance, everyone gathered together to chat.

"This is Ms. Shi, right? Nice to meet you..."

"Shi Wenhui, hello!"

Jin Shang, who had heard about her from his aunt Jin Lanyun and cousin Zhang Yunying but didn't know much about her, took a look. She had black hair that was slightly past her shoulders, tied into a simple ponytail, with playful air bangs, her sideburns were styled very flowing, and her makeup was very light. She was not the type to be particularly gorgeous, but had a natural beauty.

The first impression from close observation is crucial and can largely determine the perception for a long time.

Jin Shang is still very concerned about this potential cousin-in-law. What kind of person is the wife of Zhang Yunying, the future successor of the Zhang family, can affect many things.

After they sat down, they exchanged a few pleasantries and asked Mei Wenhui, whose drunkenness had subsided a lot:
"Uncle is gone?"

"It's just a small gathering of young people. It's good enough that he came to say hello. Old Sun and Director Hao who were chatting with you were picked up by a car, and even Dai Yiqin went to see off the guests..."

"It's okay. We've finished talking. We'll discuss the cooperation details later."

Now is not the time to discuss business, Jin Shang turned around and said to Shi Wenhui who was a little embarrassed,
"We just took the opportunity to have a simple gathering. Normally, everyone is very busy and it's rare for us to get together to chat. There are actually quite a lot of relatives in my family, and many of those who come and go frequently are not here. When it's busy at the end of the year, you'll know how many people there are."
