this man is not calm

Chapter 510 Returning Home Rich and Rich
As for private cars, there are only a few options to choose from, which can be used for family, transportation and work purposes, and only MPV is slightly better.

Usually at the company, there is a bus to pick me up, which is quite convenient.

Executives at Qi Zhaoyun's level are very busy every day, but the company car is not prepared for individuals after all, so it is inevitable that there will be omissions in the arrangements. It is very convenient to have a car of your own, and the monthly fuel reimbursement amount is inexhaustible anyway.

Father Qi, who was old and looked a little haggard, watched his daughter-in-law and their son and daughter go upstairs first. He looked at Qi Zhaoyun parking the car and carrying a bag filled with many things. He unconsciously reached out and patted the slightly warm hood and body of the car.

The paint is dark and bright enough to illuminate a person's face clearly.

The metal texture gives people a tough and steady feeling.

“This car… is beautiful and affordable!”

Qi Zhaoyun responded indifferently:
"It's a cooperative model of a brother company. It's an old model that has been modified and then outsourced. It's a trial product, and the sales volume is... quite average."

It does sound a bit harsh to say that no one bought it, but Qi Zhaoyun's comment was relatively tactful.

"You do not understand!"

Qi's father, who had served in the army, made meritorious contributions, and retired with honor, was not an old man without experience. He sighed lightly and then explained,

"The materials used here are not much worse than those in the army's cars. I don't know how to buy cars, so I can't tell which one is good and which one is bad, but I can tell whether the attitude of car manufacturing is serious or not, or whether it is just a scam."

The main material of the diesel engine is the relatively advanced vermicular cast iron, a lot of aluminum-magnesium alloy is used for lightweight components, and the main frame of the vehicle body is made of high-strength steel and aluminum alloy. While taking performance into consideration, the stacking of materials is still very careful.

"It's... okay?"

"It's pretty mediocre. Let me tell you, for a big item like a car, an expert can tell at a glance whether it's made with care. If they've made it with care but it's not done well, that's a problem of technical ability, but the minimum quality is guaranteed. But if the intention is to fool people and make money from the beginning, then you're definitely not going to produce anything good."

Speaking of this, the knowledgeable Qi's father suddenly became excited and talked about how he fooled around when he was young, joined the army for training, and then changed his job, in a very clear and logical way.

Qi Zhaoyun did not interrupt, but agreed from time to time.

The father and son rarely had much to talk to each other in recent years, and they could barely say a few words.

The care and affection between men are indeed not so obvious and strong, but the care is still beyond words.

"This car... you said the price tag was 350,000, but it's less than 400,000. It must be a loss. With all the stuff it has, it can't be sold for 500,000."

"That's impossible. The company can't possibly be losing money, and the price is discounted so much?"

"It's just a loss-making business! According to what you said, you won't sell that many units a year. The boss is a big business, so just treat it as an advertisement. In addition, the subsidies for new energy, high technology, low carbon and environmental protection are probably not small. Add in various policy benefits, and the loss probably won't be obvious."

"That's true!"

Recalling his boss's thoughts, he felt that with Jin Shang's cleverness, he might do business at a loss, but he would definitely not do anything that had no benefit.

For the MPV purchased by Qizhaoyun, the engine is a diesel-methanol dual-fuel engine that is modified and upgraded from a traditional diesel engine. It is efficient, stable and reliable. The high-pressure common rail plus electronic control system has basically overcome the problems of shaking and black smoke of traditional automotive diesel engines.

Another similar diesel-natural gas dual-fuel engine is only installed on commercial vehicles and the effect is also very good.

This type of vehicle is equipped with a mild hybrid system, which improves starting and acceleration performance. It is also very efficient on low-speed roads with stop-and-go traffic in the city. The new kinetic energy recovery system increases the mileage by 20 to 30 percent, which is very good.

Another advantage of using vehicles for internal employees is that there are alcohol, oil and gas filling stations at several major locations of the company, and charging stations and battery swap stations are also being gradually rolled out. At present, the company's logistics and urban taxi businesses are already very mature, and self-produced energy products can take up a large part of them, and the rest can be fully absorbed by external business.

For Qizhaoyun, the company can buy gasoline and alcohol at a discounted cost price, and the car model itself is relatively economical, so the cost of holding and using it is still very low.

"You don't really need a nice private car, but you need to buy a house quickly. Your children are getting older and need to go to school. How can you move around? Also, you two need to settle down. Living apart and not together is not a solution."

"I know!"

In fact, Jin Shang had asked for his opinion on the group purchase of welfare housing the year before last. At first, Qi Zhaoyun was inclined to buy one since he could afford it with his company's salary at the time. However, some problems arose later and he temporarily withdrew and failed to purchase the house.

In fact, it is not complicated. At the end of the 20th century, there are many young people "drifting to Beijing". After working hard for many years, they still have no stable place to settle down and many of them have been renting houses. There are also many people in the company who are preparing to get married but have not got the chance to buy special-price houses in the group.

Qi Zhaoyun thought that he wouldn't be able to use it for the time being, so he gave the spot to someone else.

Suitable properties are not always available, and it is impossible to wait for those with big discounts.

Later, three or four groups of companies came to buy houses in groups, but none of them were to their liking, so Qi Zhaoyun did not buy any.

A car and a house are two key items in building a family and career, and they should not be taken lightly.

I already have a car, and the only thing left is how to buy a house to accommodate my family.

In fact, Qi Zhaoyun also knew that his wife was just an ordinary woman who had been under a lot of pressure over the years. She had also suffered a lot to keep the family going until now. But it was too unrealistic to expect her to turn the tide, accumulate strength and even face challenges head-on. She didn't have that ability.

After all, it was Qi Zhaoyun, the head of the family, who was absent and did not do his job well. We must have a clear understanding of this.

"You are so old now, and you have experienced a lot over the years. The society has taught you how to be a man, and there is no need for me to say more. Many people like you... rarely have the opportunity to turn things around. According to what you said and what I have observed, your boss is a very capable young man. You can be considered to have met a noble person after all the bad times have turned into good times."

"You have good vision."

"That's right! My former boss came from the grassroots, and I learned a lot from him. Just like you, a golden phoenix that flew out of a chicken coop, it is easy to touch the ceiling of the class. In the process of breaking through the wall and leaping up, it is easy to go astray. Past successful experiences may not be practical after entering another field. Strength, character, luck and noble people are all indispensable. Your boss is a natural noble..."

Even in the traditional scholar-official class, there are all kinds of people, representing all kinds of interests. The so-called "natural nobility" does not refer to how noble a person's bloodline is or how prominent their origin is, but that they are the essence and conscience of a group. "Boss Jin... is indeed different. He is different from the ordinary people who are burdened by fame and fortune. He is free from vulgar interests. Perhaps only truly fertile soil can grow such a wonderful flower."

The so-called "wonderful flower" originally refers to peculiar and charming flowers. It is often used to describe unusually excellent literary and artistic works or outstanding people. It has no derogatory meaning and is a very high evaluation.

However, being different itself carries the meaning of being unique and difficult for ordinary people to understand. If you are not careful, you will become an outsider who is not recognized on another level.

"Although I don't quite understand the situation of your boss's family, but... families that don't worry about daily necessities are more likely to produce prodigals who only know how to eat, drink and have fun, and the chance of cultivating outstanding talents is also very high, even... much higher than ordinary families."

With a high starting point, piling up resources can also raise the lower limit to a level that is unattainable for most ordinary people.

Past history has proven that people from wealthy and powerful families are more likely to succeed than ordinary Phoenix men. The gap in vision, experience, resources and character is too difficult to make up.

Qi's father has the deepest understanding of this. No matter how powerful a soldier in the army is, once he is promoted to a certain level, he still needs to be educated in order to go further.

To put it bluntly, Qi Zhaoyun's past miserable experiences made him realize the pressure of moving forward, and he wanted to take shortcuts but ended up failing.

The mind and desires have advanced, but the body and abilities have not kept up.

"Don't worry that I will repeat the same mistake. Our boss is different. If I had met him earlier, I would not have taken risks and been so smart that I would not have been played around by him without knowing it."

"It's good that you understand! I've been fine these years, but Wang Zhen is suffering more."

"I understand that I am sorry for her and made her suffer."

The harmonious and happy family was almost broken apart. Which traditional woman would want her husband to be a prisoner?

I'm afraid many of her family members, relatives and friends have advised her to divorce while she is still young and find someone more reliable.

Qi Zhaoyun used to be a big shot. He had eaten well, had fun, seen the world, and his wife and children had good living conditions. Overnight, everything was gone. The gap was too big for most people to bear.

Fortunately, Qi Zhaoyun was lucky and soon made a comeback.

Isn’t the New Year coming soon?

Let the old father bring his wife and children over. We have been apart for the past few years and have not had a peaceful life. Now that he has finally gotten over the past, he deserves compensation, right?
I drove a shiny big car, went to big city shopping malls, bought a lot of things, and spent a lot of money.

If I hadn't saved a lot in the past two years, I would have found it hard to afford such lavish spending.

"This year, you're not going back, and you're spending the New Year in Beijing?"

"That won't work. If we don't go back, we don't know what people will say about us. Let's all go back, openly and honestly, and say whatever we need to say. Who wouldn't go back to pay homage to their ancestors?"

"Okay! If you don't return home when you are rich, it's like walking in the night in fine clothes. Although we are not rich now, if the whole family dresses beautifully and drives a big car back home, people will definitely look at us with admiration. If you hide it, people will only talk about you."

Thinking of this, Qi Zhaoyun suddenly remembered that Wei Shuangping, who had not been home for many years, seemed to be planning to return to her hometown for the New Year.

Even many "new immigrants" who plan to settle in Beijing in the future like to go back to their hometowns during the holidays to contact acquaintances in their hometown and maintain relationships with relatives and friends.

There are very few people who really plan not to go home in the future.

"Have dinner early, take a rest, and then go to the movies. There are some good movies coming out recently."

"That's hard to say. The kids are clamoring to play games. I finally bought a game console and a game card, so they won't want to go out for a while."

It has been a long time since I heard my old father say such relaxed words. A harmonious family is the key to success. My own life is not satisfactory, let alone working hard outside. Fortunately, the past is far away, and the future seems to be getting better and better.

"The ban on entering the securities market will last for another two years, but... it's no longer a hindrance."

Even if you cannot openly hold the relevant position and sign, it is still possible to guide the work as a consultant or in other names.

The boss's secretary and legal advisor are just a transition. Qi Zhaoyun, who once witnessed what real top business competition is like, is not a person who is content with the status quo. His ambition, which has been dormant and suppressed in the past, will sooner or later emerge again.

It just so happens that Jin Shang likes this kind of capable subordinate who has many ideas.

This is the fourth Spring Festival Gala jointly organized by Beijing enterprises. This year is the first time that it has been decided to broadcast it live. Six satellite channels and 22 local TV stations in Beijing, North China, Northeast China, Central China and East China have joined forces to broadcast the event. In addition, the growing Jinxi Video and Northern United Online websites provide online and text broadcasts, and Jinxi Chat provides interactive support.

The direct production cost of the evening party is just over 10 million yuan. The stars who appear are basically the company's own artists and partners, so the expenses are only 30 to 40 million yuan. The stage and outdoor setting add another 10 million yuan, totaling around 60 million yuan.

This budget is not bad. Jinxi Culture and Beihai Shipping will contribute the majority, and the rest can be made up by friendly competitors.

In fact, hosting an evening party will basically not result in a loss. The investment promotion and operation are very smooth. The advertising fees have been collected as a bonus of 50 million. By moving things here and there, it basically does not cost any money.

This is also the first time that the Spring Festival Gala sponsored by "Jinxi Mall" has had a certain influence. Three years ago, who would spend a lot of money on advertising on the stage of a corporate joint annual meeting?

Things are different nowadays. If you want to appear in front of a national audience, having money may not necessarily make it possible, and limited advertising space has become popular.

In the past, we looked down upon and could not invite artists, but now we are very selective and use the best ones. We also charge them at a friendly price, just as a token of our appreciation.

Dai Yiqun, who has recently had two hit movies released and an album, will appear in her own evening party and the Spring Festival Gala.

As for the Xiao Ma Zha Band, Jin Shang was so busy in the past year that he released two solo albums and one group album and then stopped caring about it. It was completely managed by Zhang Yu, Mei Shuying and Chen Fei. This time, they just showed up a few more times at their own party to increase their fame.
