Chapter 728 Borrowing Money
"Old Qin, is this true?"
Although he already believed it in his heart, Sun Sixi still couldn't help but ask a question.
"What do you think? Do you want me to call their general manager and ask you to confirm?" Qin Zhengguo rolled his eyes and asked back.
"That's not necessary, haha, haha..." Sun Sixi laughed embarrassedly, taking the opportunity of drinking to cover up his embarrassment.
Putting down his wine glass, he said with emotion: "This General Manager Lin is also a capable person. Fortunately, he was able to think of transforming traditional Chinese medicine products into health products. He is also very lucky. His company has grown very big in recent years, and his products are also very famous here..."
"What are you thinking about?" Qin Zhengguo raised his hand and hit the boy with chopsticks rudely. The boy quickly shrank back and escaped Qin Zhengguo's "beating".
"What are you doing?"
"What are you talking about? I've been talking for a long time and my mouth is dry, and you're just sighing about other people's luck? What's the point? I'm not knocking on your head, I'm knocking on the blackboard! Tell me what the point is?"
Touching his head, Sun Sixi remembered what Qin Zhengguo said before he told the story. He thought about it carefully and suddenly slapped his thigh: "I understand! You want to tell me the importance of the market and their advertising and sales methods!"
"Fortunately, I'm not that stupid!" Qin Zhengguo nodded.
"There is an old saying that good wine needs no bush, but running a business cannot rely on having good products to be successful. What does a business want? Efficiency! Where does efficiency come from? From sales and market channels! Only when products are sold and converted into profits and funds can efficiency be generated. Otherwise, what is the point of having the best assembly lines and products?"
"The most important thing for your factory now is not production. What's there to be afraid of? With the assembly line and technology, it is inevitable that the products will be shipped out of the factory. The key lies in the subsequent work, that is, how to make the product famous, how to promote it to the market, and let consumers buy it to generate the final benefits."
"If you're heading in the wrong direction, all your efforts will be in vain. Brother, I'm telling you this today because of our friendship. If it were someone else, I wouldn't be interested in saying a word even if they knelt down and begged me."
Sun Sixi suddenly realized and slapped his head heavily.
"I understand!" Sun Sixi suddenly realized, picked up the wine and said to Qin Zhengguo: "Old Qin, thank you, our previous consideration was indeed inappropriate. I will report this matter to the leader when I return. This glass of wine is for you!"
As he said this, he was about to raise his hand to pour the liquid down his throat, but Qin Zhengguo quickly stopped him.
"I'm asking you, what's your habit now? You get drunk all the time? Is it because your family is strict that you don't have the chance to drink? Do you drink as much as you can when you get the chance? Brother, what kind of friendship do we have? Do we have to be like this? Alcohol is bought with money, but your body is your own. Take it easy and drink slowly. If it's not enough, I'll send you a few boxes later, okay?"
Sun Sixi nodded repeatedly. Instead of drinking the wine in his hand in one gulp as he did before, he took a sip as Qin Zhengguo instructed, then picked up the dishes and started eating.
The two old friends started chatting about other topics, starting with their childhood, and gradually talked about the pretty female classmates in their school class, who had a crush on whom, and so on, and they laughed again when they were excited...
After resting for a day in Fengtian, Sun Sixi drove back to Andong with Qin Zhengguo early the next morning.
After arriving in Andong, Qin Zhengguo checked into the hotel he stayed in last time. Although Sun Sixi had said that he would stay at his house, Qin Zhengguo was just joking at the time. It was not convenient for an outsider to live in Sun Sixi's house after all. He had a wife and children at home, and the place was not big. As for his parents' house, his younger brother and sister-in-law were living there, so it would be the same if he lived there.
After returning to Anton, Sun Sixi helped Qin Zhengguo settle down in the hotel and left in a hurry. Of course, he went to discuss things with his leader. Besides, the factory ceremony would begin in two days. As the newly appointed deputy director, he was very busy and could only say sorry to Qin Zhengguo.
Qin Zhengguo didn't care. They had already discussed what they needed to discuss in Fengtian. As for the next plan for their factory, it was not Qin Zhengguo's concern. Even though they were friends, Qin Zhengguo didn't intend to take on the factory's affairs. He had reminded them, and how to do things next was up to Sun Sixi and the others. He had already fulfilled his responsibilities as a friend.
After settling down, Qin Zhengguo went to his younger brother's place. When he arrived there, his older brother and sister were there because Qin Zhengguo had called them in advance to tell them the time he would be back.
It is not appropriate to have a family gathering in a restaurant, it is still warm at home. Although my parents are in Guangzhou, brothers and sisters are less restrained when they are together, and the content of the conversation is more casual.
My parents and my second and third sisters are living well in Guangzhou now. My brothers and sisters are in contact with them, so they naturally know about it.
As the eldest brother, he was very happy and praised Qin Zhengguo a few words while drinking. The eldest sister was also looking forward to a wonderful life, and she and her brother-in-law were both in high spirits.
"Brother, I have already made arrangements in Hong Kong. I am here to attend the ceremony of Maru's factory and will not stay for a few days." Handing his eldest brother a cigarette, Qin Zhengguo talked about his nephew. Today is a family gathering, the younger generations are not here, only a few brothers and sisters are here.
"Sorry to trouble you with the matter of the second child." The eldest brother took the cigarette and said gratefully.
"Hey, it's up to your family to say whether it's a hassle or not." Qin Zhengguo waved his hand and said, "It's also the child's hard work. If he hadn't done well in the college entrance examination and got admitted to Yangcheng University, it would not have been easy for me to help him. I've also settled things in Hong Kong. You can rest assured that my sister-in-law and I are with you."
"That being said, Second Brother, as your brother, I still have to thank you." The eldest brother picked up the wine and clinked it with Qin Zhengguo. After drinking it, he sighed, "I never dreamed that my child would go to Hong Kong to study at university..."
"Haha, what's the big deal? My nephew is good at studying. Let alone Hong Kong, if he has a bright future in two years, I will send him to study in the United States. Don't worry, brother. The child will definitely have a bright future!"
The eldest brother nodded with a smile on his face. His child was indeed promising. What was more important was that his brother, who was unreliable when he was young, was now more promising. Since Qin Zhengguo came back last time, who among the neighbors didn't envy the Qin family? As the eldest brother, he was also proud.
"By the way, big brother, don't you want to go with me? My parents are very happy in Yangcheng now. I went to see them before I came back, and they were still asking when you would go to Yangcheng."
"Forget about your sister-in-law and I..." The eldest brother exchanged glances with the eldest sister-in-law beside him and shook his head, saying, "Your sister-in-law will retire in a few years. My current job is pretty good. What can I do in Guangzhou? At this age, I have to change jobs and start all over again. It's not necessary. Just let the children go. My husband and I should stay in our hometown. My parents have two younger sisters... By the way, your eldest sister will be there soon. The three of them are enough to take care of us. There is no need for us to be there."
"I'll see if I can spare some time to go over in a few days to see the two elders. As for the rest of the time, just stay at home with the youngest one. It will be convenient for you to come back in the future."
Qin Zhengguo nodded slightly and said nothing more. He knew his elder brother's character very well. Not to mention him, even his parents might not be able to change the decision he made.
Besides, his elder brother's job was good, and it would be a pity if he gave it up. Since he had made up his mind, Qin Zhengguo would not force him.
After talking about my eldest brother, I started talking about my eldest sister.
The work of my eldest sister and her husband at work has not been settled yet, so they will have to wait for some time before they can go. But it doesn't matter. With the placement of my parents, second sister and third sister, my eldest sister's family has been arranged long ago. As for the children's education, there is no need to worry. Qin Zhengguo assured everyone that as long as the children have a promising future, let alone going to college, he, as an uncle, will cover all the expenses for their study abroad, and will arrange a good job for them after graduation.
It is unreasonable for the Qin family not to help their own family. Qin Zhengguo right? This is going to stab people in the back. Besides, the Qin family has strict family education, and Qin Zhengguo knows what kind of character his family members are. If they are relatives who can't help, Qin Zhengguo will not help them.
The family dinner was a very enjoyable one, and Qin Zhengguo was very happy.
We finished drinking at around nine in the evening and everyone dispersed. Qin Zhengguo had nothing to do tomorrow, but his brothers and sisters still had to go to work tomorrow. He couldn't keep forcing them to drink, could he?
After seeing off his eldest brother and his wife, and his eldest sister and her husband, Qin Zhengguo said goodbye to his younger brother and his wife. His home was not far from the hotel, and he did not drink too much. The breeze in the evening was very comfortable. Qin Zhengguo planned to go back directly. At this time, his sister-in-law said something to his younger brother. His younger brother hesitated and said to Qin Zhengguo, "Second brother, I will go back with you. It is not safe after dark."
Qin Zhengguo did not refuse. He did not bring anyone with him this time, so his younger brother said it would be fine for him to accompany him back to the hotel, and the two brothers could still chat along the way.
They talked as they walked, saying some common things. After walking for a while, Qin Zhengguo found that his brother was a little bit upset, so he stopped and asked, "Xiao Liuzi, what's wrong?"
"Nothing... nothing..."
Although he said so, Qin Zhengguo saw a hint of hesitation in his expression and asked immediately, "What are you hesitating about? I'm your second brother, not an outsider. If you have something to say, just say it. Don't be so shy like a woman."
"This...this..." The younger brother didn't know what to say for a moment, and he couldn't speak clearly for a long time. Qin Zhengguo was not in a hurry. He lit a cigarette and waited quietly.
The younger brother hesitated for a long time before he spoke very embarrassedly: "Brother...can you...can you lend me some money?"
"Borrow money?" Qin Zhengguo was stunned and looked at his brother.
"How many?"
"Five... no... forty thousand... forty thousand is enough. If not possible, thirty thousand will be fine..." As he said this, his brother's head drooped, as if this sentence took up a lot of his courage. He didn't even dare to look at Qin Zhengguo.
Qin Zhengguo couldn't help but frowned. He knew very well what kind of person his younger brother was. Moreover, his younger brother and his wife both had jobs now, and their work units were good. Their income was pretty good in the local area. In addition, their parents didn't need them to support them, so the young couple just wanted to make a living.
The last time Qin Zhengguo came back, he brought them a lot of things. His family was pretty well off in his hometown. But why did he suddenly ask me to borrow money? And he asked for so much money right away?
Let alone 50,000 yuan, even 30,000 yuan is not a small amount now. The monthly salary of my brother and his wife is equivalent to their income for more than ten years. Nowadays, if a family can come up with a few thousand yuan, they are considered rich. In their hometown, a family with a million yuan is considered to be a stranger. Why do they suddenly need to borrow so much money?
This amount of money is an astronomical figure for ordinary people , but it is nothing for Qin Zhengguo. To put it bluntly, with his financial resources, he can spend this much money on a good meal in Hong Kong, but the problem is the reason why he lent this money to his brother.
Thinking of this, Qin Zhengguo looked at his brother carefully, and at the same time he was very confused.
During the meal just now, he and his older brother and sister were chatting most of the time. His younger brother spoke very little, and only his sister-in-law chatted a few words on the side.
Qin Zhengguo, as his second brother, knew very well that his younger brother was an honest child, but why did such an honest child suddenly want such a large sum of money?
