Rebirth: My dad is too obedient

Chapter 142 It’s still a matter of money

During break, in the corridor outside the classroom.

The head teacher Zhang Liqun had his hands behind his back and looked very unhappy behind his large brown glasses.

Xu Chen stood in front of him, listening quietly to the "teachings" without saying a word.

"Xu Chen, I am very optimistic about you. You have a chance to get into a 985 university!"

"You really haven't been studying well recently. You've asked for leave when the college entrance exam is approaching, and you're also late for evening self-study!"

"In last week's mock test, you left half of the questions blank..."

"Your current condition is extremely dangerous! There is less than a month left, and I don't want anything to happen to you at this critical moment!"

"It's a pity that our class has lost a 985 student!"

……

Xu Chen listened with his head down, without responding, just wanting to end the conversation as soon as possible.

He is most clear about his own learning status, so naturally there is no problem.

Asking for leave and being late for evening self-study were indeed related to business matters from the past two days, but now everything has been handed over to Fang Jun.

As for the so-called mock exam, most of the papers were blank because Xu Chen didn't want to waste time on questions he already knew...

According to Xu Chen's study plan, the focus of the next month will be on tackling all the wrong questions and weak points in knowledge.

The rest can be put aside.

Since you have your own rhythm and plan, you will not be too disturbed by the outside world.

……

Xu Chen remained silent and noticed that his head teacher was becoming more and more excited.

In the end, he could only use the "supporting actor" method. By whispering in agreement, Zhang Liqun was able to sense Xu Chen's "serious repentance."

After returning to his seat, Xu Chen also breathed a long sigh of relief.

……

In the following days, Xu Chen pushed aside all distractions and focused on reviewing.

The college entrance examination is extremely painful, but it has a clear end date.

Most people fear the arrival of that date, but Xu Chen is looking forward to its end.

Because he knew that once it was over, he would be free.

……

……

In mid-May, Xu Zhiquan took Fang Jun, Director Yang from the machinery factory, and Li Rui to Jiangsu Province to "investigate" the local electric car factory.

The nursery company's business is managed by my fourth uncle Xu Zhilin and my third uncle Zhang Yongqing, and there are basically no problems now.

Some of the obstacles encountered before have basically been removed, and projects are still coming in one after another, even radiating to the surrounding counties and towns.

In a short period of time, Xu Zhiquan has grown the nursery business to the largest scale in Tiancheng.

Once the "scale advantage" is formed, it will form a "moat" for the business.

This will reduce costs and allow you to bid lower than your competitors.

With the endorsement of existing projects, it is also easier to get new projects.

After the Xu family has leased more land, it will become increasingly difficult for other competitors to compete.

It can be said that as long as Xu Zhiquan’s “relationships” do not collapse, “Chenxin Seedlings” will be a money printing machine for the Xu family.

……

My fourth uncle has leased a few more plots of land in the west of the city. Now he spends half of his time there, overseeing the cultivation of seedlings there.

Several construction sections of the Chengnan Expressway have already started the seedling project construction. It is mainly my third uncle Zhang Yongqing and a group of workers who are doing the work. They work very hard every day in the wind and rain.

Fortunately, Zhang Yongqing is a hard-working person and he likes seedlings, so he enjoys it.

However, when encountering some troubles in dealing with people and interpersonal relationships, Fourth Uncle still has to step in to resolve them.

Fourth uncle and third uncle work very well together.

As for Chenxin seedlings, Xu Zhiquan could basically be a "hands-off boss" and gradually asked less and less about family affairs.

His main job is to maintain external relationships and get in touch with some new seedling projects.

Of course, his main focus now has begun to shift to the affairs of the machinery factory.

……

One afternoon, Xu Chen, Chen Dahai and others went out to eat.

In the small restaurant, I actually saw advertisements and promotions for "Wang Laoshun".

The slogan "Drink Wang Laoshun if you are afraid of getting a sore throat" was naturally printed prominently on it.

The execution efficiency of Jiaduobao Company is very high. Unexpectedly, it has expanded to the lower-level catering channels so quickly.

Two diners in the store saw the materials on the shelf and picked up a can:
"I just got a sore throat these past two days, so I'll give it a try..."

"Fuck, this is sweet and bitter, what the hell does it taste like?"

"Didn't you see what's written on it? Chinese medicine formula, of course it's bitter."...

Xu Chen couldn't help but smile. The taste of Wang Laoshun was indeed not good.

If it didn’t have the functional point of “fear of getting angry”, I’m afraid no one would be willing to drink it even if it was given to consumers.

However, it is foreseeable that after this round of promotion of "fear of getting angry", the company Jiaduobao will really become popular in mainland China.

In Xu Chen's memory of his previous life, Wang Laoshun spent three to five years investing in marketing and promotion, and sponsored several variety shows. During its peak period, its sales volume was second only to those of the two foreign-funded colas...

Xu Chen's one million advertising fee has naturally been confirmed, and Fang Jun is helping to coordinate this matter.

The payment will be collected directly through the "Dongchen Advertising" account. I heard that it can save some taxes compared to collecting payment in Xu Chen's personal name.

Fang Jun was also following up on the three installments of payment for Renhe Pharmaceutical's bid.

Fang Jun is very good at these things, and you can basically rest assured when you leave it to her. Xu Chen also asked Fang Jun that as the only boss of Dongchen Advertising, he can withdraw the money in the account at will, and it is all legal and tax-paid.

Xu Chen won’t need them for the time being, so just keep them in the account for now.

Of course, in general, Xu Chen is not planning to become a "super rich man" now. Currently, the Xu family's business is still in its infancy, and "investing in the future" is more important.

Moreover, it is foreseeable that my father will have to split every penny of his money into two halves when he starts the electric car factory...

……

When I walked back to school after lunch, I saw that the banner on the school gate had been replaced again.

"Warm congratulations to our school's Xie Bingran for winning the National Middle School Track and Field Championships!"

Unexpectedly, in just a week or two, Brother Bing won another championship.

Her label of "invincible under 18" has been consolidated once again.

It was just as Xu Chen had said, when Brother Bing wins too many championships, he will get numb...

Chen Dahai looked up at the banner, shaking his head with an envious look on his face.

Xu Chen joked:

"The National Junior High School Track and Field Championships. I think high jump is also an event?"

Chen Dahai looked helpless:
"I didn't even make it past the preliminaries, how can I compare to Brother Bing's talent... Brother Bing has a weird talent, he's not even human!"

As soon as you enter the school gate, the video of Brother Bing winning the championship is playing on a loop on the large LED screen.

At the end of the video, there is a clip of Xie Bingran cheering on college entrance examination students.

In the video, Xie Bingran still had a cold temperament and said to the camera without any emotion:
"I wish all the senior students of Tiancheng No. 1 Middle School good luck in the college entrance examination and hope they will pass the exam..."

The passing students, especially the girls, were all starry-eyed:

"What should I do? Brother Bing is getting more and more handsome!"

……

In late May, when Xu Zhiquan and others returned from a business trip, the acquisition of the machinery factory was suddenly put on the agenda.

Through his connections in the city, Xu Zhiquan received a clear notice that "intention communication" regarding the restructuring and sale of the machinery factory would begin in early June.

Xu Zhiquan had informed several parties in advance, and he also met the "key leader" Wu Yongming at the funeral of Xie Bingran's grandmother. Dongchen Holdings was naturally among the candidate companies for "intention communication".

In fact, according to some rigid indicator requirements, Dongchen Shares should not appear on that list now.

And the leader Wu Yongming helped to speak up, so Dongchen was able to get a "ticket"...

Xu Zhiquan also knew the principle of "know yourself and know your enemy" and wanted to find out about other competitors, but after inquiring from several parties, there was still no news.

After that, Xu Zhiquan basically slept in his office in Jinfeng Business Building.

Every day I work with Fang Jun and Director Yang from the machinery factory to prepare documents for the "intention communication meeting".

At the same time, we are also trying every possible means to raise funds in advance.

I made phone calls all the time, and my cigarettes from one pack a day turned into two packs a day.

……

……

That evening, Xu Chen went to the store to pack up a few dishes and took them to Jinfeng Business Building.

As soon as I entered the office, I saw Xu Zhiquan in the "manager's office", half lying on the sofa smoking.

When Xu Zhiquan saw his son coming in, he stood up with a look of joy on his face.

"Why are you here?"

Xu Chen: "I knew you would be here, so I brought you some dishes!"

Xu Zhiquan laughed, moved the pile of documents on the table aside, and opened the takeaway with his son.

The father and son clinked their Coke cans together and finally sat down together to have a meal.

During this period, Xiao Xu was preparing for the college entrance examination, and Lao Xu was busy with things at the machinery factory, and they were both in a state of anxiety.

While eating, Xu Chen said:

"Dad, you looked so sad when I walked in. Did you run into any problems?"

Xu Zhiquan laughed:

"Don't worry about the things at home for now, just focus on the college entrance examination."

Xu Chen: "Tell me something. I'm almost sick of studying. Listening to something else will help me distract myself."

Xu Zhiquan chewed a steamed bun, thought for a while and finally spoke:

“It’s mainly about the machine shop.

In early June, the city organized an "intention communication meeting", where several companies that wanted to participate in the restructuring of the machinery factory each put forward their plans and funds to compete.

Now Fang Jun and Director Yang are working on the text materials, and I am raising funds.

In the end it’s all about money…”

Xu Chen: "How much do you need?"

Xu Zhiquan: "Fang Jun calculated it carefully for me, and she also revealed some of the machinery factory's information.

After all, the purpose of selling the machinery factory is to settle the current debts...

According to Fang Jun's calculations, he had to take out 10 million in pure cash no matter what.

The rest can be solved by bank loans and future corporate profits.

Once the machinery factory gets it, some of the existing equipment and tricycles in stock can also be sold...

Now, Dad is trying to find a way to raise the 10 million in cash."

Xu Chen: “Is it difficult?”
