Return to 88: Starting from Marrying My Sister-in-law

"Boss, what are you thinking about?"

Xu Siqi walked up to Lu Yang and waved her hands in front of Lu Yang's eyes.

Lu Yang was awakened and glared at her: "You are so disrespectful, take your hands away and step back. Are you the boss or am I the boss?"

Xu Siqi stuck out her tongue.

He laughed and said, "Of course you are the boss."

Seeing Lu Yang glaring at her again, she quickly covered her suit skirt and ran back to the pile of newspapers, squatting down and pretending to sort them out.

Lu Yang withdrew his gaze.

After thinking for a moment, he knocked on the desk and said, "Put these newspapers in order and move them back outside. Ask the people outside to do the errands and move them away for you. Then do one more thing for me. Go to the branch of Xiao Shentong and help me get the financial statements for the third quarter of this year."

The financial statement has been prepared. Originally, we were going to meet up with Xiao Jun and Mou Qizhong tomorrow. The three shareholders would gather together and go to this branch company to save the opportunity to show off in front of this person at this critical moment.

It's also a good opportunity to show off in front of these two bad friends.

But now it seems there is a place where it is more needed.

If Lu Yang guessed correctly, the leaders of Pengcheng City came to inspect him without any prior notice while he was in the company. They definitely had a purpose, and that purpose was nothing more than worrying that the New Century Building invested by Lu Yang would follow the same fate as the Giant Building invested by Shi Giant.

It has to be said that the entire leadership team of Zhucheng City has been badly screwed by the Giant Group of Shi Giant. The Giant Building is facing the risk of suspension of construction or even complete abandonment, which has put a lot of pressure on these leaders. Rather than saying that they had kidnapped the Giant Group in the past and forced the birth of this hasty Giant Building project in order to compete with Pengcheng City, now it is Shi Giant's turn to kidnap them.

Lu Yang could now especially understand why this Giant Shi was so fearless and dared to use the money originally raised to build the Giant Building for other purposes so blatantly. He was sure that the current leadership team of the Zhucheng Municipal Government could only support him, and also cover up for him and help him find ways to resolve the pressure from public opinion. When necessary, it was not impossible for them to directly release funds and help contact the bank to get a loan to fill the hole.

Although it is like tearing down the east wall to repair the west wall, it is better than the wall collapsing directly, right?

In Lu Yang's memory, although Shi Juren's Giant Building project was destined to be difficult to implement, construction was resumed from time to time. Even if it was just for show and to show the attitude, it was better than doing nothing. Shi Juren handled this point very well.

Just like this, you fool me, I fool you, fool the society, and fool the people.

It was not until 2000, the first year after the new millennium, that Zhucheng City had changed its leadership team. Due to huge debt disputes, Giant Group had basically abandoned the Giant Building project. Whether it was unable to repay or refused to repay, the new leadership team could no longer tolerate it, so they went through the court to seize all the property rights of the Giant Building and ruled that it was given to 19 creditors, who would jointly hold all the property rights of the Giant Building.

At this point, the boots have hit the ground and the chicken feathers have fallen all over the ground!
For the 19 creditors who have obtained the full ownership of the Giant Building, because of the complicated property rights relationship and the high amount of land transfer fees owed, the Giant Building has actually become a hot potato. No one is willing to take it over, and some would rather it rot there.

It was not until more than ten years later that it was auctioned as an unfinished building.

"I heard that Mr. Shi actually only prepared 12 million to build a headquarters building for his company at the beginning, but he couldn't resist the ambitions of some people in the local government. They pushed him all the way from the city landmark to the tallest building in Guangdong Province, to the first in the country, to the first in Asia, and made him forget the taboos in the business world and rashly embark on this billion project."

"Is this true or false? Is Shi Yuzhu trying to find an excuse for his failure? Or was it someone who really put pressure on him and forced him to rashly take on a project that was doomed to fail?"

"But Mr. Shi did eventually move his business center out of Zhucheng and moved to Shencheng. Since then, Giant Group has become a technology company rooted in Shencheng. No, it should be said that it is a game company. It seems that a pay-to-win game called "Zhengtu" was developed by Mr. Shi. Damn, he cheated me out of a lot of money."

Lu Yang was sitting at his desk, cursing and twirling his pen.

Thinking back to the time before my rebirth, I was already in my forties, but because of playing the online game "Zhengtu", it was as if someone had put a spell on me. I kept spending money on it just for those treasure chest keys that seem meaningless to me now. It was really fucking hell!
However, it must be said that this giant is indeed a businessman who is very good at grasping people's hearts. Whether it is the advertising and marketing of Brain Gold and Brain Platinum, those catchy and magical slogans, or the later "Zhengtu" game, in order to satisfy the showing-off psychology of the rich players, a whole set of krypton gold mechanisms were developed, which are enough to prove it.

"It's a pity that this giant seems to be a bit too eager for quick success and instant benefits, and always wants to take shortcuts. If he is willing to work hard and do business, given his ability to grasp people's hearts and his status as the first generation of entrepreneurs after the reform and opening up, it's hard to say what his future achievements will be. It's hard to say whether he can compare with the two old Ma, but at least he will definitely have a place in the Chinese billionaire club of billionaire entrepreneurs."

"Hey, this is the work of the predecessors and the teacher of the future generations. I can't learn from him."

The rule Lu Yang set for himself was not to be a pushover, but also not to be a bad person with no moral bottom line.

It’s okay for you to say that you are a black-hearted capitalist or something like that, but if the Internet economy era arrives in the future and everyone can access the Internet, and then you are chased and scolded by people all over the country, that would not be a good experience.

"Dong dong dong."

Xu Siqi went there in a hurry and came back quickly. In less than an hour, she completed the round trip and walked in with a document in her hand.

"Boss, this is the Q3 financial report of the branch you asked for. I also brought the reports for the first two quarters. All the financial reports for this year are here."

Xu Siqi said while panting and sticking out her chest.

Lu Yang took the report, motioned for her to find a place to sit instead of standing, and then he started reading it.

Lu Yang actually already knew a lot of the data in this report in advance. Several deputy factory managers of the Little Prodigy branch had reported to him, but oral reporting is one thing and detailed written text is another.

So Lu Yang still watched it very seriously.

five minutes later.

Lu Yang raised his head and said, "Not bad, it's better than I thought. The sales of their Little Prodigy learning machines in Q3 have exceeded the total of Q1 and Q2. Let me do the math..."

He lowered his head. "Well, that's good. The total sales volume has exceeded 200 million units. These Subor learning machines have been distributed across the country and have flowed into the hands of retailers. Although not all of them have been sold, because we are now in a seller's market, we pay first and then ship. The capital recovery is very good. Except for the agents in some individual provinces who have not yet settled the final payment, the current account balance of the branch... is not bad, it has exceeded million."

When he finished speaking, Xu Siqi, who had already sat down to rest, covered her mouth in surprise even though she already knew the data in the document.

"Wow." "That's amazing!"

"Boss, the funds in their branch's account are more than the funds in our head office's account."

Lu Yang glared at her calmly and said, "Didn't you know this a long time ago?"

Xu Siqi said with a grin, "But I don't know what your plan is, boss. With so much money in the branch's account, do you have to find a way to transfer it to the parent company?"

New Century Group was created by Lu Yang himself, but not all of its branches are 100% controlled by him.

The Xiao Shentong branch is the most typical example. In addition to Lu Yang, the absolute majority shareholder, there are also Xiao Jun and Mou Qizhong, two small shareholders who reached an agreement with him on strategic development.

Lu Yang said playfully: "So you also suggest that I distribute dividends in advance?"

If no dividends are distributed, the money will have to stay in the branch company's account. Only after the dividends are distributed, all the taxes that should be paid are paid, and all the benefits that should be obtained by all major shareholders are distributed, can the money that should be taken out be transferred to the parent company's account.

Xu Siqi lowered her head and thought for a while, then raised her head, looked at Lu Yang with a sharp gaze and said, "Boss, you asked me to go to the branch office to get their Q3 financial statements. It shouldn't be for no reason, right?"

"I guess you want to use them to deal with the city leaders who are coming to inspect this afternoon. You specifically mentioned to me before that the news you found in the newspaper mentioned the suspension of the construction of the Giant Building. I think the city leaders will also pay attention to it. This time they come to inspect, they may have the intention to see whether our parent company still has sufficient funds. Boss, you must have seen this, right?"

After saying that, she looked at Lu Yang nervously, wanting to get affirmation from Lu Yang.

This is her answer.

And the questions Lu Yang asked her just now were her test papers in her eyes.

"Yes, you are already half right."

"Giant Group's sudden suspension of construction of the Giant Building caught the leaders of our neighboring Zhucheng City off guard. The leaders of our Pengcheng City are naturally worried that I, Lu Yang, will follow suit. However, when I asked you to go to the branch company to get this report, I didn't think about attributing all the profits of these branches to the parent company in advance."

Xu Siqi's eyes lit up, and she blurted out, "I understand. Boss, you mean that you took out this report to show them, to calm the troops?"

Lu Yang waved his hand and snapped his fingers: "Bingo, you got it right. It seems that you have been studying management very hard recently. Not bad, not bad. You have indeed learned a lot from your sister Wei Shu. As a CEO, she still has something to teach you. If there is a chance, how about I send you down to take charge of the situation?"

This eldest niece really did give him some surprises just now.

So if the other party really wants to, he can actually let them go.

Xu Siqi quickly shook her head: "No, no, no, I'd better be your secretary."

Lu Yang stared into her eyes and said, "You really don't regret it? You know, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. With your current situation, if you go down, you can at least get a position as a deputy manager of a branch company. After a few more years of training, you can be promoted back to the head office. By then, even if you can't take over your sister Wei Shu's job, you can still be a vice president or something in the head office. Are you really willing to give up?"

Xu Siqi bit her lower lip and shook her head silently.

not talking.

But she was still determined to stay with Lu Yang and be his secretary.

Lu Yang sighed in his heart. Seeing that the other party still refused to give in, he could only give up the idea that he blurted out just now. "Okay, forget it. I won't tease you anymore. There's no need to act like this anymore. It makes it seem like I'm bullying you."

Xu Siqi didn't dare to look at Lu Yang anymore.

This stinky boss, why is he teasing her? She was afraid that Lu Yang would see the tears in her eyes, and then make fun of her by this stinky boss.

But, what can be done?

Who told her not to live up to expectations? She also wanted to be cruel and go down to gain some experience, stay away from this stinky boss, work hard for a few years, prove her ability, and then come back and slap this stinky boss in the face.

But when she thought that if she left, there would definitely be another vixen, no, there would definitely be another female secretary to replace her current position, do her current job, and stay by the boss's side, she would feel particularly uncomfortable.

Besides, it was easier to go down than to come up. In the head office, each person had his own position, and there were very few positions that allowed one to stay with the boss all the time. Even if I could become Sister Wei Shu in the future, would I definitely be able to spend more time with the boss than if I stayed by his side as a secretary? Would I be happier?

I’m afraid not.

She wanted to be Sister Wei Shu, and she envied her aunt, but she also hoped to be able to stay with this stinky boss all the time. Oh, what should she do?

She was very upset and therefore very annoyed. Why did the stinky boss test her with this question just now?
"I...I...I'll go downstairs and make preparations first."

slip away.

She was really afraid that this nasty boss would say something to embarrass her again.

Lu Yang looked at her running back and shook his head in some worry.

I secretly thought in my heart: "What virtue do I have as Lu Yang? This little girl is so stubborn, and I can't touch her. If I really have something with her one day and her aunt finds out, Sister Du, ah, I'm afraid she will be angry with me, right?"

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, on time, several city government cars stopped downstairs of the New Century Group's temporary headquarters... (End of this chapter)
