Golden Years in the World of Film and Television

This is a great opportunity. I'm confident I can build this tea factory up to the same scale as our fireworks company. It's a worthy challenge!"

Seeing Gu Jia so optimistic and blindly confident, Xu Huanshan said unhappily: "Calm down, you need to calm down. Gu Jia, you are now focused on making money. Do you still think about our family and our son?

You've taken care of Zi Yan for four years, from the time he was born until now. Now, you're shifting your focus just like that? And so simply, with just one sentence? "Forget about my son, even I can't accept it, so think about it carefully!"

After saying that, Xu Huanshan hung up the phone directly, and his face turned pale with anger.

Looking at the hung up phone, Gu Jia thought about the problem he mentioned. In addition to the funds, she did need to consider the child, but Gu Jia still did not intend to give up. Instead, she thought about the nanny issue that Mrs. Yu mentioned.

She felt that if she had a nanny to help her deal with the children's affairs, she would be free.

As for the funding issue, if he could raise it himself, then both problems would be solved and Xu Huanshan would not be so angry.

...............................

At this time, in the Yu Group's amusement park in Beijing, a beautiful young girl saw Xu Huanshan end the call, but her face was not happy. She smiled and asked, "What's wrong? Did you have a fight with your sister?"

"No, we were just discussing something and we had a disagreement. It's all fine now."

Xu Huanshan shook his head, adjusted his attitude and looked at the girl next to him.

Her name is Lin Youyou. She is an employee of Beijing Paradise. She is mainly responsible for receiving and accompanying Xu Huanshan on design inspections.

Compared to the 30-year-old Gu Jia, Lin Youyou, who just graduated from college, is more youthful and lively, full of the vigor of a young girl.

Xu Huanshan looked at her and couldn't help but feel more at ease, as if he were ten years younger.

"Don't be so sad, uncle. My sister has to take care of the children at home and run the business at the same time. I think she must be very tired. You should be more understanding of her."

As she spoke, Lin Youyou handed Xu Huanshan an ice cream, and then continued with a sweet smile: "Eat something sweet, it will make you feel better. Whenever I am unhappy or sad, I just need to eat this and I will feel much better."

"Okay, thank you!"

Xu Huanshan nodded, took the ice cream and took a bite, then looked at Lin Youyou, a girl in her early twenties, wearing a black dress with a white shirt underneath. The hem of the dress did not even reach her knees, revealing her snow-white beautiful legs.

In fact, she was also responsible for reception and accompaniment when he came on a business trip last time. The two of them had a good impression of each other after their contact, so they got along more harmoniously this time.

Seeing that Lin Youyou seemed a little uncomfortable walking, Xu Huanshan frowned and said, "Why haven't you changed your shoes yet? Isn't it said that wearing high heels will rub your feet?"

"Can't change!"

Hearing Xu Huanshan's concern, Lin Youyou glanced at him and said with a smile: "This kind of shoes is designed to break the scabs, and then break the scabs again. After a few times, it will be tamed. This is the same principle as human growth."

"What a twisted logic! Here's a Band-Aid for you! It's waterproof, durable, and breathable. We have it all year round. Every time we go to Japan, we always buy a dozen or twenty boxes. Try it and see how it works."

After saying that, Xu Huanshan smiled and took out a Band-Aid from his pocket and handed it to Lin Youyou.

"Wow, there are so many things to pay attention to when it comes to Band-Aids?"

Lin Youyou took the Band-Aid Xu Huanshan handed her with a smile, took a closer look, and handed him the ice cream in her hand.

"Help me hold it. I want to try this Band-Aid and see if it works as well as you said."

After saying that, Lin Youyou ran to a bench not far away and sat down. Then she put one foot on the ground, lifted the other foot slightly and placed it on the chair, then opened the Band-Aid and put it on the wound on her heel.

Xu Huanshan glanced at the looming spring scenery and quickly looked away. After she stood up, he returned the ice cream to Lin Youyou and said:

"How's the effect? ​​Pretty good, right?"

"It's really nice. I especially like the pattern on it. The yellow locomotive is very cute."

"My son also really likes this locomotive pattern. Since you like it too, I'll bring you two more boxes next time I come."

"Okay!"

Hearing Xu Huanshan's answer, Lin Youyou smiled and nodded. While licking her ice cream, she looked at the ice cream in his hand and said:

"How about letting me have a taste of you!"

After saying that, without waiting for Xu Huanshan to react, Lin Youyou licked his ice cream and frowned slightly:

"Ah, why does yours taste bitter?"

"It's okay, I actually like bitter things, it's bitter first and sweet later!"

Xu Huanshan smiled and looked at the ice cream that Lin Youyou had licked. After hesitating for a moment, he continued to eat it, and the place where he took a bite was exactly where Lin Youyou had licked it.

Chapter 454 Borrowing Money and the Price

After strolling around for a while, Xu Huanshan, accompanied and guided by Lin Youyou, also ended today's inspection.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Xu Huanshan looked at his watch and said with a smile: "It's already this late, let's go eat something!"

"Okay, I'm starving. I thought you weren't going to eat?"

Lin Youyou nodded happily in agreement and even made a joke.

Xu Huanshan looked at her lively and cheerful appearance and couldn't help but smile: "If you are hungry, just tell me!

The fireworks show has to be innovative every time, and I have to concentrate on thinking about the design, so I lose track of time when I get busy."

Hearing this, Lin Youyou bent down slightly, put her hands behind her back, and then playfully stuck out her tongue at Xu Huanshan and said:

"It's okay, I just don't want to delay your work. How about we go get some fast food?"

"Okay, let's go then!"

Xu Huanshan nodded, then left the place chatting and laughing, heading for a building not far away.

A few minutes later, the two of them walked around and came to a corner of an aquarium and sat down. Then Lin Youyou asked him to wait for a while and ran to buy food.

Seeing that it was very quiet here, Xu Huanshan took out drawing paper and pen from his bag and started drawing on the table.

When Lin Youyou came back with a tray full of hamburgers, French fries, fried chicken, etc., she saw that he was actually working and said with a smile:

"Uncle, let's eat first. This isn't our first time working together, so why do we have to work so hard?"

"You eat first. I just had a sudden inspiration, so I have to draw it first, otherwise I'll forget it in a moment!"

Lin Youyou sat across from Xu Huanshan. Looking at him working diligently, she couldn't help but put her hands on her chin and smiled foolishly, "It's okay. I just like watching you draw. You're so handsome!"

Hearing Lin Youyou say this, Xu Huanshan stopped drawing and said with a smile: "Let's eat first. If I continue to draw, you won't even eat."

"Okay, I'll listen to you!"

Lin Youyi nodded, opened the hamburger wrapper and handed it to Xu Huanshan, then he picked up one and took a big bite.

"Didn't you see me drawing last time? Why are you still so curious? Don't you get tired of such boring things?"

Seeing her looking at him with admiration, Xu Huanshan couldn't help but ask while eating.

Lin Youyou shook her head: "How can I get tired of it? It's different every time, not to mention you designed it. The last fireworks show was so beautiful!"

Xu Huanshan was so overwhelmed by the praise that he couldn't even close his mouth: "Haha, the last fireworks show was just a trial run. It was our first collaboration, so we played it safe. But this time it's different. You'll know after you see it. You'll definitely be amazed."

"Really? I'm really looking forward to it. But speaking of the last time you came here, I remember you were injured. I wanted to ask you then, but I didn't have the nerve to. Were you in a fight?"

Looking up at the curious Lin Youyou, Xu Huanshan leaned back in his chair and jokingly said, "Do I look like someone who likes fighting?"

Lin Youyou rolled her eyes at Xu Huanshan, then smiled and said, "Of course not. How can a man who likes playing with fire be a good boy? But I think you might be a little worse than I thought!"

After saying that, she glanced at the drum set, guitar and other instruments placed not far away and continued:

"You're working so hard, and I can't really help you. How about I sing a song for you, just to help you relax?"

"You can sing too?" Xu Huanshan looked at her in surprise, somewhat unable to believe it.

"Of course I can sing, just wait for me!"

After saying that, Lin Youyou put down the hamburger in her hand, wiped her hands with a napkin, and walked towards the guitar not far away.

Afterwards, under Xu Huanshan's curious gaze, she sat on a chair in the middle of the stage and sang into the microphone, with the blue ocean environment behind her.

The colorful tropical fish, large and small jellyfish, and various corals set off Lin Youyou, making her look like a goddess of the sea.

As the singing and the environment reflected him, Xu Huanshan gradually became obsessed. He thought of his blue dream first, and inspiration came to his mind one after another.

After the song ended, Lin Youyou walked off the stage and sat down opposite Xu Huanshan again. Seeing him looking at her with obsessed eyes, she waved her hand proudly and said:

"Hey, uncle, why are you so distracted? Is it nice?"

"It sounds great, the singing is really great!"

Xu Huanshan came back to his senses, looked at her excitedly and said, "Yes, I have a new idea. I want to draw it. You can eat first.

This weekend's fireworks show will open everyone's eyes and let your leaders see the level of fireworks designed by me, Xu Huanshan, in our country."

After saying that, Xu Huanshan put down the hamburger in his hand and started drawing the blueprint again with an excited look on his face.

He wanted to draw all the inspiration that surged in his mind, making it into the most brilliant blue fireworks, and let the nearly perfect drawing bloom in front of everyone.

Looking at the high-spirited man in front of her, Lin Youyou just looked at him quietly with a smile on her face.

Perhaps she herself was not aware that besides the desire to pursue a good life, there was also a flash of love in her heart.

It can be said that Lin Youyou was completely attracted to this man who was ten years older than her. She liked his talent and gentleness, as well as his serious and responsible attitude towards work.

.....................

In the Magic City, Han Tao got out of the car after arriving at his destination and walked into Gu Jia's dessert shop. Seeing her frowning and thinking, he smiled and asked:

"Gu Jia, what are you thinking about so intently?"

Hearing Han Tao's voice, Gu Jia looked up at him and smiled, "I wasn't thinking about anything. I've been busy all morning, and I was a little dazed when I suddenly had some free time."

Han Tao glanced at the dozen or so imported waters in different cups and couldn't help but jokingly said:

"Your circle of wives is so boring. You make such a fuss just to drink water, and it's all imported. Aren't you tired?"

"Tired!"

Gu Jia smiled, and then Han Tao brewed a cup of tea and handed it to her, saying, "I can't help it even if I'm tired. Mrs. Wang asked me to help, and I couldn't refuse. I'm sorry to bother you with the trip. Do you want some cake? I made it fresh!"

"If you don't want to eat, stop working!"

Han Tao shook his head and sat on the sofa, looking at Gu Jia and said directly: "Tell me, what is it that you asked me to come here for?

Since the last time I accompanied you to meet Lao Wan, you've barely contacted me except for asking me for help. You're a typical example of someone who burns bridges after crossing them. Even communication is relayed by Nini."

"You've helped me so many times, why would we avoid you? Isn't it to avoid suspicion? Otherwise, what if Manny misunderstands?"

Hearing Han Tao reveal her little thoughts, Gu Jia felt a little embarrassed, so she said:

"Han Tao, I asked you to come here today because I want to borrow three million from you for cash flow. Is that okay?"

"three million?"

Han Tao didn't expect Gu Jia to borrow money from him, so he looked at her in surprise and asked:

"Gu Jia, why are you borrowing so much money? Your company has new orders now, and the funds should be able to turn over. Is there something wrong with your fireworks company?"

"No, although our fireworks company does need to add more production lines, the current payment is enough. This is the situation......"

Seeing that Han Tao misunderstood, Gu Jia hurriedly shook her head to explain, then told him that she was planning to buy the tea factory, and gave the repayment method and the price she intended to pay.

Gu Jia had two intentions. One was that the money should be repaid over three years, but Han Tao would receive a 30% dividend as interest.

Another option is to invest two million yuan, which means Gu Jia and Han Tao will jointly acquire the tea factory, each holding half of the shares, and she will be responsible for its management.

Or Han Tao would pay 1.5 million, and she would figure out the rest herself, but Gu Jia would hold 51% of the shares.

........................

Chapter 455: Fainting with force

After listening to what Gu Jia said, Han Tao knew that this was a turning point in the original plot.

It was also after this incident that Gu Jia finally let go of her burdens, recognized the way forward, and stopped being obsessed with the wives' circle, and completely woke up.

In fact, in Han Tao's heart, he really felt that it was a waste of such a smart person like Gu Jia, who fell into a trap designed by others just for a little benefit.

Especially in her subjective consciousness, she was influenced by the so-called rich person's image of having no shortage of money, and she never thought that Mrs. Li would deceive her.

This is a typical case of "greed blinding one's mind". She never considered that if the tea factory was really that good and could make millions of profits a year if managed carefully, why would Mrs. Li give it to her, who had to pay the three million transfer fee in installments?

She herself didn't think about it. Even if Mrs. Li really looked down on the tea factory because she was too rich, there were so many wives around her, and many of them had a better relationship with her than with Gu Jia. Why would she let you pick up a pie in the sky?

In theory, when acquiring a company, due diligence must be carried out to avoid losses due to information asymmetry.

According to normal procedures, Gu Jia should entrust a law firm, an accounting firm and an asset appraisal company to jointly conduct an investigation, cooperate with each other, and issue due diligence reports in their respective fields for her reference.

Admittedly, the conclusion of due diligence can only be based on the materials provided by the target company, and it is still impossible to rule out the possibility of false statements by the target company.
