1988: Back to the human world for a few years

Chapter 525 Escrow
March 3th, Jingzhe, insects begin to move.

A light thunder, followed by a fine drizzle of rain.

Even though we don't know any historical trends, we can predict that this year will be a year with abundant rainfall.

For the people of Qi and Lu who are naturally dull and optimistic, as long as it is not "no snow in the dead of winter, but thunder is heard in the first month of the year"; or "a sudden north wind blows, and winter starts all over again", it is an excellent start... At the very least, there is hope for the crops in the fields, and if they tighten their belts, they should be able to get through the year.

Since it is not a bad start, it is worth celebrating. Those who are well-off will surely have two big pieces of pork so fat that all white color can be seen, and eat until their mouths are full of oil; those with average conditions will not be stingy, and will have enough noodles and white steamed buns... After the Waking of Insects, it is time to start the busy farming season. If you don't eat well, how will you have the energy to work?

Although this is a custom that has been developed in rural areas for thousands of years due to agricultural production, as some rural children move to cities to make a living, this custom has also been brought to DZ city on a small scale.

………………

"Hey, hey, hey, country girl, today is the Spring Equinox after all. I came all the way here, and you give me this!?"

As a kid from the countryside, Yang Mo naturally had the custom of Jingzhe. Therefore, after work, a certain useless guy who couldn't take care of himself rushed directly to Tugou's dormitory without thinking, clamoring for a good meal.

"Student Lu Yingying, I feel very sorry to see you degenerate and become a bad person!"

"Have you forgotten your rural identity after just three years of work experience?!"

"Has your long absence from farm work made you forget our custom of Jingzhe?!"

Yang Mo looked at his classmate Tugou with a sad face, who had finally changed his flowery cotton jacket into a thick sweater. His expression was full of regret and his tone was full of disappointment. If the scene happened in the office, it would be enough to make any subordinate feel ashamed.

It's just a pity that it's not working time now, and someone has never regarded him as a leader. Seeing this guy pointing fingers like a big-tailed wolf, Tugou classmate rolled his eyes: "Eat it if you want... Help me get that bowl of soaked millet, and by the way, check if the mung beans are soaked. Considering that today is the Waking of Insects, I'll give you some more good stuff!"

Yang Mo curled his lips: "Add some millet and mung beans and it's called a good thing? You are just reminiscing about the bitter past and thinking about the sweet past!"

While complaining, he happily brought over two large earthen bowls from the table, placed them next to Tugou, and then pretended to reach into one of the bowls to feel around, then pinched it, and threw his hand away loudly: "I can't feel it, I don't know if the mung beans are soaked!"

Seeing this fellow reaching into the bowl without even washing his hands, Tugou was so angry that he kicked him directly: "You can't even tell if the soup is soaked well or not. I really don't know how you have lived for the past twenty years... If it were in the old society, a lazy guy like you who doesn't know how to distinguish grains would have starved to death!"

Yang Mo patted the footprints on his legs, with a shameless look on his face: "So we should thank the country and the new era. A useless person like me is still living well now, right?"

After saying that, Yang Mo frowned bitterly: "Hey, girl, how about we add a meat dish? One, just one will do... Today is the Waking of Insects, a few grain cakes and a bowl of egg drop soup will do?"

Student Tugou stopped what he was doing, wiped his hands on his apron, and then reached into the earthen bowl filled with water and mung beans and squeezed them: "It's almost done... Go, help me change the water and wash them again! You look like a jerk, but you don't even know to wash your hands before touching anything!"

Yang Mo wailed, "Big sister, even though it's spring now, the water is still very cold, okay!"

"How about we not be so picky... You won't get sick if you eat something dirty!"

Tugou glared at him fiercely: "Look at how delicate you are... Grind the beans or wash them, choose one!"

Feeling the strong threat in the girl's tone, Yang Mo glanced at the millstone in front of her and couldn't help but his eyes twitching.

The grinding wheel that was used before is still in the yard of the drilling company. The current one was bought after arriving in Texas, and it is much smaller than the previous one.

But no matter how small the millstone is, it still weighs about thirty or forty kilograms, and it still takes a lot of strength to push and turn it. If a useless person like me is forced to grind pulp for half an hour, wouldn't my arms be half disabled?

Tsk~
I don't know what this girl is thinking. She is not short of money. Her salary and bonus are obviously enough for her to eat out comfortably every day, but she insists on making her own pancakes every day.

Well, it's fine if you say you can make the pancake yourself. There are people in the market who can beat the batter for you. Why do you have to grind it yourself?

Isn't this just asking for trouble?!
cut~
In the final analysis, it’s just a deduction. They can’t bear to part with that one cent processing fee!

I don't know what to do with all that money!

Thinking of this, Yang Mo dejectedly picked up the bowl of mung beans that had been soaked to the point of bursting, and pushed the door open to leave...

………………

After more than half an hour, Yang Mo used all his strength with his teeth, pulled with great effort, and staggered, before he finally tore the thing in his hand away.

Rubbing his sore cheeks and carefully examining the suspiciously colored strip in his hand, Yang Mo, feeling embarrassed, complained: "Hey, hey, hey, girl, why is this pancake so thick that it looks like cowhide? I can't even bite it with my teeth. Your cooking skills have regressed!"

Qilu pancakes are famous for being dry and tough, which causes many people from other provinces to almost choke on their cheeks when they first try them.

But in fact, the real way to eat this pancake is not to tear it with your cheeks, but to roll it into a suitable size, put it in your mouth and bite it directly with your teeth, and then chew it slowly in your mouth to taste the aroma of wheat and grains.

But the problem is, the pancakes that classmate Tugou made today were obviously beyond the standard. I don't know how this girl did it, but Yang Mo's front teeth were almost broken, and he couldn't bite them off. He had no choice but to bite half and tear half... Tearing the pancakes while eating not only makes one look extremely unprofessional, but it is also a very shameful thing in Qilu. Mr. Yang was furious on the spot.

Tugou was also chewing the pancake in his mouth with a frown on his face: "I don't know either. Is it a problem with the proportions? Or is it because I put too much black beans? Or is it because I didn't add water? But that's not right... You can't add water to rice milk!"

After thinking for a long time without any idea of ​​what the problem was, Tugou put the pancake he had only bitten 1/4 of into the bowl indignantly: "Forget it, I admit defeat. I failed to make this pancake today. I will go to the boss to argue tomorrow... If you don't want to teach me, just tell me directly. I won't do anything to him. How can you fool me!"

Yang Mo rubbed his cheeks and looked at her curiously: "I mean, you asked for the recipe of pancakes today... No wonder!"

Tugou looked depressed: "Yesterday, I thought that Jingzhe would come soon. With your character, you would definitely come over to eat and drink. There happened to be a Shandong restaurant next to us. When I was evaluating it, I thought their multi-grain pancakes were delicious, so I ran to the kitchen to ask the chef for the recipe. But... Ugh! So dishonest!"

She didn't mean to settle the score with them. After all, people working in the catering industry have some secret skills, and it's normal that they don't want to tell outsiders. But she was unhappy because if they didn't want to tell, then they didn't want to tell. You could just refuse directly. It was too unkind to use a fake recipe to deceive people.

Yang Mo's focus was not here: "You mean, you went there specifically to learn this for today's meal?"

Tugou puffed up his cheeks and said, "You are a big boss now. You eat all kinds of delicacies all day long. I don't have anything good to treat you. I can only ask the chef to learn some new skills and make some delicious multi-grain pancakes for you!"

Yang Mo blinked his eyes: "Hey, hey, hey, stop talking nonsense, what do you mean I eat delicacies all day long... Don't I just hang out in the cafeteria all day long?"

"Besides, isn't the braised pork you cook very good? I'm craving for it and you know it. It's just a common dish. It's not too much for Jingzhe to make a few pieces of braised pork, right?"

Tugou's face flushed a little: "Well, I was thinking of making some pork belly, but... I don't have money to buy meat."

Yang Mo gasped: "No money to buy meat? Your salary and bonus were all taken away by your mother?"

Tugou looked even more embarrassed: "Well, no, ever since my mom became the vice president of the village cooperative and started to run the chicken farm, she has not asked me to hand over my salary."

Yang Mo couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

Well, a person who holds several positions and whose actual income is equivalent to an annual salary of one million in later generations, has fallen to the point where he can't even afford half a pound of pork, without pursuing food, clothing, jewelry or bags. You can tell where all the money has gone just by thinking about it.

Thinking of the situations of Xialiu Sales Agency reported to him by his subordinates, Yang Mo pinched his brows with a headache, then stood up, picked up the handbag he had brought today, and threw it in front of the girl in a bad mood.

"Look, I thought I could have a good meal today, so I brought a gift with me... If I had known we would have this, I would have come here shirtless!"

Yang Mo looked at the girl with disgust, then continued to tear into the multi-grain pancake in front of him, which had no meat on it but was harder to chew than cowhide.

"what is this?"

Tugou didn't take the guy's disgusted look to heart at all, but happily opened the soft cloth handbag that almost every tourist has nowadays.

Huh? ?

When she opened the handbag, she found that it did not contain any rare specialties or her favorite candies as she thought, but neatly arranged stacks of briefcases.

She glanced at Yang Mo suspiciously and found someone looking at her with a smug look on his face. She did not hesitate any more and directly untied the buckle on the file bag.

Yang Shidan, if you dare to send me work arrangements as a gift, you will be dead today! ~
Classmate Tugou glared back at her with murderous intent. This fellow had a very bad character and it was hard to say whether he would not do such a prank that deserved a beating. She was already very busy all day long. If she was given more work, she might die right away.

Pulling out a thick document with the official seal and the interline stamp, Lu Yingying saw the file name clearly and was stunned.

He flipped through the documents and immediately opened the second document bag...

After opening four file bags in one go, Tugou felt a little dizzy.

"Yang Shidan, did you... bring the wrong document?"

Lu Yingying swallowed with some difficulty and looked at the man in front of her with suspicion.

Yang Mo bit the remaining half of the pancake in his hand with difficulty, and said in a vague voice: "I didn't bring the wrong one... As long as you sign and put your fingerprint on it, the shares will be yours."

After saying this, his tone was full of grievance: "I paid more than 10,000 yuan for you. I was planning to come over today to collect the debt, but seeing how stingy you are... Forget it, it's my bad luck. I'll pay it back slowly in the future!"

That's right!

These documents, which were carried in a handbag like draft papers, were equity agreements. If you just look at these documents, you won't find them anything special.

The company names on the equity distribution agreement are all insignificant small players, and most of them are even collective enterprises in the name of villagers' groups or township private enterprises that are as small as they can be... How big can an enterprise be that can own 67% or even 90% of the shares with an investment of one or two thousand yuan?

But the problem is, if you have a copy of the latest equity tree structure diagram drawn up by Yang Mo and his team, you will find that these seemingly inconspicuous small source enterprises will soon have equity ties with more than hundreds of companies that are far larger than themselves through a series of means such as cross-investment, share swaps, and agreements on joint action, and may even eventually be reflected in the equity structure of some large companies with a seemingly inconspicuous share.

These large companies at the bottom of the equity tree cover a wide range of fields, including chemical industry, pharmaceutical industry, distribution field, material field, and even two in the CRO field (pharmaceutical contract research and development organization, mainly responsible for scientific research).

Is Tugou qualified to see the equity tree structures that have just been drawn up?

Logically speaking, she was not qualified, not to mention that she was just a brand manager of Qingfeng Food. Even her direct superior Liu Xianfu, or even people like Qin Xin and Yan Laoxi who were on good terms with her, were not qualified to see such a complete equity tree.

But she had seen it before, and it was presented to her openly.

It's simple. Zhuo Mali, who helped Yang Mo design the equity tree, originally drafted the equity tree structure while asking for her opinions and views.

So, when those familiar new company names appeared in front of her, she could even clearly tell at what approximate time these companies would exchange holdings with another larger lower-level company.

If it were just that, it would be fine. After all, although some of these companies will eventually hold shares in some large-scale downstream companies, the proportion is too insignificant. If there is no special operation, the only value of these shares is to declare their presence and establish relationships with some relatively important industrial links... You can completely regard it as a means of bringing each other into a cooperative relationship, so that each other does not look like outsiders.

But in addition to these, there are some small and micro new companies that seem insignificant now, but they are very important.

If Lu Yingying remembered correctly, in the original design, these small companies, whose total assets were not even over ten thousand, would grow layer by layer with an extremely complex equity structure, and eventually remotely control a downstream company that might be established in Kyrgyzstan, and participate in those overseas cooperation projects with the Bear Country as the main partner, and further promote the Bear Country's plan to replace some of its products.

Everyone knows the current situation of the Bear Country. Once the replacement plan is successful, the value of these downstream companies will be immeasurable... Even if the completion rate of the replacement plan is only 1/3, these downstream companies will become a behemoth in just a few years.

and so……

Tugou's voice couldn't help but change: "Yangshidan, you didn't take the wrong medicine! Today is not April Fools' Day, this joke is not funny at all!"

Yang Mo curled his lips: "Who is kidding you? Look at the bottom of the bag yourself. These new company seals have been engraved for you... They are all notarized. Remember to find a drawer to lock them up. If you lose them, it will be quite troublesome."

Lu Yingying squatted down and reached under the bag, and sure enough, she took out a plastic bag, which was heavy with more than a dozen official seals.

Feeling a little uneasy, Tugou put down the bag of official seals, closed the document bag, and pushed the bag back: "Yang Shitan, what do you mean by this!?"

Yang Mo blinked his eyes. "It's nothing special. It's just that the situation is different now. In the future, there will be many things that Dahua Company and Urban Property Fund Company are not suitable to directly intervene in, or even let others smell the smell... Especially projects involving private cross-border cooperation."

"So, now I just need to find a group of agents who can't tell anything fishy from the equity structure. And such agents not only need to have strong professional skills, but also need to be someone I can trust completely... After thinking about it, among all the people I know, only you fully meet the requirements, so I can only choose you!"

Tugou curled his lips and said, "Don't give me that. Xiaobai, Director Zhang, Section Chief Qin, Section Chief He, and Minister Zhuo, which one of them is not better than me? If it really doesn't work, Lao Sun and Lao Yan are also more suitable than me. Why don't you find them and let me be the agent?"

Yang Mo looked helpless: "Sister, please listen carefully, anyone who has a direct relationship with Dahua Company and Chengchan Fund Company is not suitable to be the agent!"

"Mr. Zhang is now also the director of the investment management department of the Urban Property Fund Company;"

"Sister Zhuo not only worked for Dahua Company, but now also serves as the assistant to the general manager of the Urban Property Fund Company;"

"The same is true for Lao Tan and Lao He. Although they come from drilling companies, they also hold part-time positions in urban real estate fund companies. "

"As for Xiao Bai... apart from anything else, the fact that she will probably be transferred back to Guizhou this year makes it impossible for her to be the agent!"

"As for Old Sun and Old Yan..."

At this point, Yang Mo hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed softly: "To be honest, it stands to reason that they are actually quite suitable to be the agent, but the problem is... You must have been deeply touched by the style and beliefs of Xia Liu's group. Although I can't say that their style of doing things is wrong, at least it is quite different from mine."

"Dahua Company and Chengchan Fund Company are both state-owned enterprises. After all, their considerations, requests, and concerns are somewhat different from those of Xia Liu's group... For safety reasons, even if my personal relationship with Lao Sun is very good, I can't hand over such important arrangements to this group of wild horses with unique personalities!"

Hearing Yang Mo use the word "wild horses" to describe the people at Xialiu Sales Agency, Lu Yingying glanced at him with disdain and thought to herself that Lao Yan and Lao Sun were both people with ideals and persistence. Do they really have to be tamed?
However, she had to admit that as the size of both sides increased rapidly, the difference in behavior styles between Yang Mo and Xia Liu became more and more obvious. Although there was no right or wrong, and the relationship between the two sides was still very good; but Yang Mo was now the person in charge of the two super organizations, so it could not be said that he was wrong to take some issues into consideration in advance.

Seeing that the girl was a little hesitant, Yang Mo sighed bitterly: "Besides, from a certain perspective, these equity source companies can also be regarded as my extra-legal incarnation. Now that the wind direction is getting more and more chaotic, I have to keep some back-up plans for myself... This is a matter concerning my life and property, how dare I hand it over to outsiders so easily?"

"As the saying goes, you can never know a person's heart, but you can only look at his face. The frustrating fact is... among all the people I know, besides my parents, you are probably the only one I can trust without reservation."

As he spoke, Yang Mo looked at her pitifully: "Hey, girl, after all, we grew up together wearing open-crotch pants and have a close relationship. You can't bear to see my life being held in the hands of others, right?"

Classmate Tugou spat with a look of disdain: "Sheep shit, I knew you would degenerate one day... What a bullshit backup plan, what a bullshit life and property, it's obvious that you are just trying to get benefits for yourself!"

After that, Lu Yingying snorted unhappily: "Also, don't always bring up the fact that we wore open-crotch pants when we were young. Don't you still have Sister Mu? She's your wife now... Even if she's not suitable to be the agent directly, her relatives can always find some suitable candidates, right?"

Yang Mo shook his head: "A wife is a wife, and a brother is a brother. They are different. Besides... she is a Hui. Some of her ideas are different from ours. The situation on her relatives' side is also a bit special, so it is even more impossible for me to let her relatives be the agent."

When she heard this guy bluntly say that in his heart, his friendship with her was more important than that with Sister Mu, even though she was very annoyed with this bastard calling her "brother" all the time, Lu Yingying couldn't help but feel happy.

Pooh!
I know that all men are bad. They can't even trust their own wives and family members!

Classmate Tugou had a look of disgust on his face, his eyes narrowed into crescents unnaturally, and he pulled the handbag towards himself with an expression of extreme displeasure.

Just when Yang Mo was relieved, he saw the girl paused and looked at him warily: "By the way, Yang Shidan, I heard Sister Zhuo say the day before yesterday that Dahua Company and Chengchan Fund Company are very short of money, and they are even eyeing the shares of the Lin and Chen families in overseas listed companies... You brought so many equity agreements to me for signature today, you are not thinking of asking me to help you operate it and transfer some money from other places, right?"

Seeing this girl's expression that said "I've seen through your sinister intentions", Yang Mo couldn't help but roll his eyes.

I admit defeat!
Do you think I am so selfless and great that I can sacrifice my personal interests for the sake of public affairs?

These shares with inestimable potential value are prepared for a silly girl like you!

You hang out with Yan Laoxi's gang all day long, so no matter how much salary or bonus you get, it will never be enough for you to spend!

If I don't give you some assets that you can't touch at will, sooner or later, you will be led astray to the point of begging on the streets!
Damn it!
Even when I offer money to you, you still have to beg me humbly...what is this?
Thinking of this, Yang Mo sighed helplessly: "Don't worry, I have my own way to solve the problem of lack of money. I asked you to help manage these shares, not to ask you to help me withdraw money from other projects!"

Tugou was just joking at first, but when he heard that this guy actually had a way to solve the funding problem, he was immediately surprised: "Eh? You have a way to make money? What is it? Tell me!"

Yang Mo sneered, and wanted to say "commercial secrets, no comment", but after rolling his eyes, he swallowed his words, and looked at the girl with ill intentions: "Speaking of which, in the past few months, every time Lao He came to Texas, he helped you check the account books and gave you some extra lessons, right?"

Old He refers to He Yongyi. As a shrewd man, he can certainly detect some of the things that Zhuo Mali can detect.

Therefore, although he often went to Texas in the past, his ostensible purpose was to train Miss Mu and guide the risk control department to build an off-site data audit system; but in fact, he found time to give Tugou more extra lessons and taught him more carefully and attentively.

When Lu Yingying heard Yang Mo ask this, she nodded in confusion: "Old He has indeed taught me a lot about finance during this period. Thanks to him, I suddenly figured out many things that I hadn't figured out before!"

Yang Mo chuckled, "That's good... As the saying goes, a good teacher produces good students. Since you have been taught carefully by Section Chief He for so long, and you have been in charge of marketing work for nearly three years, your overall level should not be too bad now."

As he spoke, Yang Mo smiled in a way that made Lu Yingying's scalp tingle: "As the saying goes, you need to raise an army for a thousand days before deploying it for a single day. Since you have been Lao He's student for several months, you should at least help him share some of the pressure. "

"So, you're asking me how I'm going to make money?"

"I'm going to tell you very clearly that I plan to learn from Lao Wang's original approach and start with those units in the city that are on the support list and are undergoing integration and reorganization, and cut some meat from them;"

"Of course, I definitely can't be as decisive as Lao Wang did back then, so... after the unveiling ceremony of Momo Baiyao is over the day after tomorrow, you can follow Lao He to investigate those companies for financial fraud and do an asset appraisal!"

Eh! ?

Do you want to target the companies in Chaocheng?

Classmate Tugou looked at Yang Mo in disbelief, as if he couldn't believe that this guy had just included him in the support list and the next moment he wanted to check his account book.

What kind of a ghost operation is this! ?
However, when he thought about the overwhelming workload of checking the accounts, Tugou wanted to cry.

You bastard!
Do you know that I have been working at full capacity for a long time?

Now you suddenly put such a heavy task on me, and it's a task I'm not very familiar with. You just want to make fun of me!
Thinking of this, an inexplicable sense of grievance surged up from Lu Yingying's chest.

He clenched his fists in the look of horror in Yang Mo's eyes.

then……

"Ah~!!"

A shocking scream rang out from a corner of the staff dormitory area of ​​Dahua Industrial Park...
