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

Chapter 605: The Sweetness of Winning the Bid

Lu Yang and Du Lingling spent a few days living the life of a young married couple without any shame or sex.

Until the twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month.

This day is also called Little New Year's Eve. In Luyang's hometown, people also call it Reunion Eve.

After the family reunion dinner.

Du Lingling got up silently and went back to the bedroom to pack Lu Yang's luggage.

That's right.

She wanted to kick Lu Yang out.

She swore that this little man must have been the reincarnation of a donkey in his previous life. He had endless donkey energy all over his body. Even her fertile land was about to be plowed up by him. If she didn't coax him away quickly, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to go to work normally. You know, the closer it gets to the end of the year, the busier the local leaders like them will be. The work below needs to be inspected, and the leaders above will also come down to inspect the work. If she doesn't want to make any mistakes or be criticized by the leaders above, she can only reluctantly drive this little man away.

Lu Yang shook his head.

I got up and went to the bedroom to help clean up.

Slapping the big buttocks facing away from him, Lu Yang said jokingly, "Are you in such a hurry to get me out? I wanted to stay until New Year's Eve. It really makes me sad, but this time you took the initiative to let me go. I will come again next time, at least after the New Year, in the spring or even in the summer. Don't blame me in your heart."

There's nothing else to do but get a vaccination first.

Sister Mingyue is about to give birth. She is now more than 6 months pregnant. Calculating the date, if it is a full-term birth, it will be around March or early April in the Gregorian calendar after the Spring Festival holiday.

Before that, he must stay by Sister Mingyue's side. If he can't even do that, is he still a human being?
So no matter what, let's get a shot of prevention first, so that Sister Du won't forget the scars she suffered just after the New Year.

She blamed herself for not coming to give her the injection.

Du Lingling felt pain in her buttocks and couldn't help but feel a little excited, but when she thought about how the little man behind her had been tormenting her every time he got excited these past few days, she felt like her bones were almost broken.

So he swallowed, gritted his teeth, and said with a peach blossom face: "Don't make trouble, you just finished your meal, digest it, and you still have a whole night tonight, so I will help you pack your luggage first. Otherwise, you know that if you are a stinky guy, I won't have the energy to get up and help you tomorrow morning."

Lu Yang thought about it and it made sense, so he stopped messing around and lay down on the bed with his arms and legs spread out.

He turned sideways again, propped his chin on his hand, and admired her busy and graceful figure. "Your district committee should be very busy recently, right? I heard that the high-tech electronic technology industrial park project has been approved, and the city is preparing to make a big move. He, the surname Jiang, also got some benefits and was approved for an interest-free loan of 2000 million. Your Tianfu District is the supervisory unit of the high-tech electronic technology industrial park, so you should be able to gain a lot of benefits and achievements from it, right?"

Don't take 2000 million as a non-money. It is now 1994, and the fact that the company was able to obtain an interest-free loan of 2000 million from the government definitely shows that the local government attaches great importance to this company and is cultivating it as a leading enterprise in the jurisdiction.

Du Lingling bent down and sorted his socks for him. She piled the pairs of socks together, one inside the other, and then rolled them up into the size of a fist and put them into the compartment in the suitcase.

Hearing this, he said without even raising his head: "It's just mutual benefit. The district's high-tech electronic industrial park was approved because of Mr. Jiang's Wanyan Electronics. After New Year's Day, their company's Wanyan brand VCD sales have been rising steadily, and are currently catching up with the top three in the industry.

Apart from the coastal areas, he is the only company in the central inland area that produces VCDs on a large scale. He has attracted many supporting manufacturers to invest and set up factories. In order to ensure the success of all projects, even if the state does not approve the establishment of the High-tech Electronic Technology Industrial Park, the city will still try to introduce new preferential investment policies to attract more VCD supporting manufacturers to settle in Xingcheng and invest and set up factories.”

Du Lingling said with some worry in her eyes: "Little brother, I remember you said before that if Mr. Jiang continued like this, he would definitely bankrupt Wanyan Company in the future. But now, I see that he is getting better and better. Can you also give in a little and not make the relationship too awkward?"

Lu Yang never concealed from her his spying on Wan Yan Company.

It was also predicted that Wanyan Company would be driven to the brink of bankruptcy in the hands of Jiang Wanli, and then he would descend like a god to turn the tide, take over Wanyan Company and turn it into his own private company.

But now, it seemed like something was wrong with the script, and it was not going in the direction that Lu Yang predicted.

Although Wanyan Company had hot sales, it attracted countless visionary businessmen from the surrounding areas to set up factories in Xingcheng, which in turn led to the birth of the High-tech Electronic Technology Industrial Park, benefiting the city and the people of Tianfu District, and also greatly benefiting her career as a Tianfu District official.

But as the woman of this little man, she followed her heart and worried about this little man.

I'm worried that if this continues, it will sooner or later affect the plans of the little man next to me.

Lu Yang was lying on the bed, laughing: "I know this very well. Last year and the year before, I was very experienced. Who dares to deny the strength of CCTV's top bidder? It's just a flash in the pan."

Du Lingling seemed to understand something, and raised her head in surprise, "You mean that their current hot sales are just a false prosperity, which comes from the prime-time advertisements of CCTV. Once the prime-time advertisement time of CCTV is over, the sales of Wanyan Company's VCDs will be reduced to their original state, right, brother?"

Lu Yang said in a teachable way: "That's right, Bingo, you got it right, but there's no prize."

Du Lingling said anxiously, "You are still in the mood to joke. If you really guessed it right, the VCD sales of Wanyan Company will be reduced to the original level next year. If a large-scale parts supplier is built and put into use, the parts produced by them will have no buyers and no one will be interested in them. What should they do? Won't they face a large-scale bankruptcy wave? You should think of a solution quickly, otherwise there will be chaos."

The factory was just built, and after three to five months, it immediately faced bankruptcy. The investors in the factory would certainly lose everything and be left with nothing.

But it’s not the worst.

To put it bluntly, even if these factory owners lined up to go to the rooftop, they would jump down one after another.

It doesn't have much of an impact.

The workers who are really affected are those who have only been recruited into the factory a few months ago.

Some of these workers may be former laid-off workers from state-owned enterprises, who receive the most basic government subsidies to support their families. Some may even be farmers from rural areas who did not have this factory job before, and everyone just muddled along. But now this job is real, tangible, and visible, and they have received wages for several months. Now you have to tell them, sorry, this job is gone, you are laid off again, or go back to where you came from. You migrant workers came to the city and picked up a pie in the sky, but now this pie has been eaten up and is gone, why don’t you hurry back home and continue to farm your land in your hometown?
This is not a good thing to say. Whoever says it will be unlucky. If there really is a large-scale wave of layoffs, even if these workers have only worked for one day, they will definitely gather together to make trouble with you and insist on getting an explanation from you.

But if this really happens, what can we do? Where can we find an explanation?

Because if the factories in the jurisdiction really close down on a large scale, in addition to facing large-scale unemployment of workers, the local government's tax revenue will also be reduced accordingly. At that time, where can they find the money to fill the hole?

If this blow is struck, leaders of two or three levels of government may have to retire in the CPPCC early. This is no joke.

Lu Yang nodded, agreeing with Sister Du's analysis, "But the situation you mentioned should not happen. Jiang Wanli insists on selling his VCDs at high prices. With the advertising bombardment of CCTV's top bidder this year, sales will certainly be hot. But if he fails to win the CCTV top bidder next year at this year's autumn recruitment, without this continuous high-exposure advertising bombardment, the brand effect will inevitably decline. In addition, the price is far higher than the market average, and the product quality is homogeneous..."

"hehe."

"I bet that he will face a financial crisis in the second half of next year at the latest. But by then it will be time for me to make a move. Once I acquire it and bring it under the group and make it a subsidiary, I will naturally pay more attention to its capital and won't have to worry about it coming back to life. So, sister, instead of worrying that its temporary downturn will cause panic in the surrounding supporting parts factories and lead to a wave of bankruptcies, you should help me keep an eye on it and don't let others get there first."

Seeing his obscene smile, Du Lingling couldn't help but curl her lips and said, "Are you so sure that Mr. Jiang can't win the CCTV bid next year? Didn't you win the bid for two consecutive years? I remember that in the first CCTV Autumn Recruitment Fair, your Little Genius Company won the bid. Last year, your Little Prodigy Company, in which you invested and held a majority stake, also won the CCTV bid. The products that won the CCTV bid every time have been so popular. What if Mr. Jiang is a little more ruthless this time and wins the CCTV bid next year? What will you do, little brother?"

Lu Yang slapped his thigh and laughed, "That's even better. The bid winner is always a sky-high price, and each bid is higher than the previous one. When I represented Xiao Tiancai in the first CCTV Autumn Recruitment Fair, the bid winner was only a little over 2000 million. Last year's Xiao Shentong spent 4800 million, and this year's Wanyan Electronics spent 6500 million. But these are definitely not the peak of the bid winners. In the past three years, the products of the companies that won the bid have been sold well. I estimate that there will be more people who dare to gamble this year, and the final bid price of the bid winner will also experience a cliff-like surge. I dare not say that it will definitely exceed million yuan, but it will definitely be close to this price. How brave is Jiang Wanli to dare to gamble so much?"

Advertisements are time-limited and will be very effective at the beginning, but the effect will gradually deteriorate and will only get worse, especially when a large amount of money is invested in advertising in the same location.

Wanyan Company has already won the CCTV bid once. Even if it wants to win again, it is better to wait for a few years in between so as to achieve the highest exposure rate. Of course, assuming that there is no shortage of money, it can also directly contract the bid.

But, does Wanyan Company really have enough money?

The competition in the VCD market is becoming increasingly fierce. Some are taking advantage of the situation to make a quick buck and run away. Some are trying to gain a share at a loss. All kinds of evildoers have come, not to mention Wanyan Company, which is just trying to get ahead.

To give the simplest example, when bidding for this year's CCTV bid, Jiang Wanli went to the bank to borrow money, and he also did promotion, bought soft articles to discredit his competitors, expanded the factory workshop product line, and developed new technologies... Which of these doesn't cost money?

As far as Lu Yang knows, Wanyan Company has yet to pay off 1.2 million yuan of the billion yuan it received from the bank last year. Taking into account the interest and the interest-free loan provided by the government, unless the company stays where it is and uses the profits from sales to repay these bank loans this year, it may still be possible to pay them off.

But is this possible?
This is impossible. As such a big company, if you stay where you are, you will only be surpassed by your competitors and then stepped under your feet.

Moreover, Jiang Wanli is ambitious, so the company will inevitably have to continue on the road of debt. Once the autumn recruitment meeting held by CCTV for next year's advertising space begins, Jiang Wanli will definitely not be able to come up with 100 million yuan to compete with many competitors, unless he continues to seek bank loans like last year. However, in this case, it would be like quenching thirst with a soft drink, and he might die even more miserably.

If we are blocked by competitors again, we may not be able to escape unscathed and even lose the shares in our hands to the bank.

After all, when you ask a bank for a loan, don’t you need collateral?
Du Lingling had already helped him pack his luggage and put it all into the suitcase.

Hearing this, she raised her head and stared at the little man with a smile.

then……

She threw him to the ground fiercely and said viciously: "I don't care about the calculations behind the scenes of you stinky men, as long as you don't affect the livelihoods of the people in my jurisdiction. If there is a large-scale unemployment wave, I will find you, humph, suck you dry and vent the anger of the workers."

Lu Yang curled his lips: It seems like you are afraid of you.

come!

Huh, scared!

After a night of tenderness, Lu Yang behaved like a good sage the next day. He sent Sister Du, whose legs were a little weak, to work, then went downstairs with his suitcase and got into Xiaojiu's car parked on the roadside outside the community.

Go straight to the company.

Jiang Wanli was not surprised by Lu Yang's visit. After all, it was the end of the year, and it was natural for the major shareholder to come down to check the accounts, which was within the rules.

"Snapped."

Lu Yang slammed the table and said, "You guys are just messing around. We just borrowed 2000 million last year and finally paid back tens of millions, but the interest is not enough. Now you want to take another million interest-free loan from the government for three years. What do you want to do? Do you want to bankrupt the company?"

"I disagree."

"While you still have money, pay back the 1 million you borrowed from the bank last year and the remaining 2000 million principal. Otherwise, if you continue like this, the burden will only grow. I don't think you, Jiang Wanli, want to be the CEO anymore."

Lu Yang was holding a financial statement that he had already known, but he took the opportunity to complain at the board meeting.

Jiang Wanli was dismissive. "I am the president. I have the right to decide the direction of the company's development. Mr. Lu, your objection is invalid. I suggest that we cancel all year-end dividends and go all out to deal with the resistance of market competitors. We should leave enough funds to prepare for the CCTV advertising investment promotion conference this fall and win the CCTV bid next year. Mr. Lu, you don't want to deliberately hinder the company, do you?"

Just as Lu Yang expected, Jiang Wanli really went all out. After tasting the sweetness of winning the bid, he still wanted to continue tasting it.

Well, the incident had nothing to do with Lu Yang. Lu Yang had tried to persuade him and had lost his temper in public. He was the one seeking death, so he couldn't blame others.

Under the waves of the times, Jiang Wanli is not a giant. What happened in the past will also happen in the future.

We’ll see.
