Volume 1: Die with Unclosed Eyes 98. Superstar Rising Day
The Oroqen people are natural hunters and are much braver than ordinary people. When they saw this abnormal phenomenon, they were not afraid but their curiosity was aroused. So they searched carefully at the place where the purple-haired gorilla disappeared. As a result, they dug out a human-shaped purple Hewu in an area covered with "Lianxing leaves".
Hearing this, I asked in surprise, "If He Wu can transform into a gorilla, then the story of the ginseng doll is also true?"
"The world is so big that there are all kinds of wonders. A plant that has grown for thousands of years must have absorbed the essence of the sun, moon, and heaven and earth, and it itself has great blessings, so it is naturally different from other plants of the same kind. If the Black Wood God is really a tree that grows in the deep sea, it will have different growth laws from other plants. How can it survive in the sea water with its incomparable ability? Humans are just relatively intelligent, and when it comes to feeling the essence of the sun, moon, heaven and earth, they are far inferior to plants. So it is not surprising that humans are controlled by plants." said the uncle.
"Brother, these two children..."
Before the third uncle could finish his words, the eldest uncle said, "I think the two children are good. I will do my best to recommend them. Don't worry about it."
Uncle San's face seemed to flash with a hint of displeasure, but he didn't show it. He quickly turned around and said to us with a smile: "I said uncle would help you. Did I lie to you?"
The uncle didn't respond to him. He stood up and said, "Third brother, you should have a good rest for two days, and then we will go home together." After that, he walked straight out of the ward .
Chu Sen was really realistic and left too. I felt a little embarrassed and said, "Uncle San, I'll buy you something you want to eat."
Uncle San laughed and said, "Silly child, Uncle San is fine. If I really want to eat, I can go buy it myself. You can go too. I'm recovering well and I'm fine."
I followed him out, and when I got to the hospital lobby, I saw my uncle discussing the matter with Chu Sen. I approached him, and he finished talking and turned to leave the lobby. Chu Sen said to me, "Bai Yezi invited my uncle to dinner, and he told us to go home and prepare. This time, we'll go back to Longhua Village with him."
"It's like our wish has come true. Should we celebrate?" I said.
"I really don't feel like eating."
"Let's go drink. Call Li Zhao and the others. I was really scared this time. Let's relax for a day."
"They" include handsome Qiang and You Qing. These three people once experienced a "fierce love-hate relationship", and the reason for all this was that You Qing was haunted by her dead sister, but Li Zhao and handsome Qiang did not know the reason. The knot between the two has not been resolved until now, especially Li Zhao's misunderstanding of me has not been resolved until now, so I took this opportunity to talk it out.
After we contacted three people separately, we agreed to meet at the "Attraction" bar on the Huangpu River in the evening. After hanging out outside until seven o'clock in the evening, the five of us met and went into the bar. After sitting down, the atmosphere was inevitably a little awkward. I said, "Except You Qing, we are all gentlemen. Even if there were any misunderstandings in the past, it has been so long, there is no need to always remember them. How about we learn from the ancients and forget our grudges over a glass of wine?" I said as I picked up the glass of cocktail.
Although Handsome Qiang and Li Zhao still had some grudges, they at least clinked glasses. You Qing had changed dramatically. In the past, she was the most outspoken and the most outrageous in such occasions, but today she simply raised her glass of mineral water and said, "I was ignorant before, and I caused you all a lot of trouble. I offer a toast to the four of you. Please be magnanimous and don't argue with me. I'll drink first."
She drank up all the water in the quilt.
"Hey, it's my fault too. I was too naive. I deserve it. I'll drink this glass of wine." The handsome guy Qiang took the initiative to extend an olive branch to Li Zhao.
"I'm the most confused person here. I actually want to say sorry to you all, but I just feel embarrassed. I have the opportunity to sit here with you all today. If I don't say this, it would seem like I'm being unreasonable and immature. I formally apologize to everyone today."
Chu Sen laughed and said, "I invited you out for a drink to have fun, but it ended up being an apology meeting. We're all young people, so just get to the point and don't go on and on. Let's not go home until we're drunk today."
We started drinking and soon got drunk. During the drinking process, I learned that Li Zhao had been hired as a security guard at a hotel. This news made me a little depressed. I said, "We are graduates from a serious university. How come we are working as security guards?"
"Do you think it's easy to find a job nowadays? I'm not like you two, one of you is a rich second-generation and the other has a father who is a leader. My parents are both laid-off workers and they are counting on me to support the family. What will I do if I don't work?" After saying that, he put down his wine glass and sighed.
"Li Zhao, you are not the only one having trouble here. Except for the handsome guy Qiang, everyone has a hard time." Chu Sen lit a cigarette and said.
"Don't use me as a negative example. I've changed my ways a long time ago and now work in an electronics company."
"There are many female workers there. You must have other purposes for going there, right?" Chu Sen said with a smile.
"Why am I so unbearable in your eyes? You know, I'm working very hard now and I'm almost promoted to deputy section chief."
"It is certainly better for you to work hard than to be drunk and dreaming all day long. I wish you a promotion to deputy section chief soon." After saying that, he picked up the wine glass.
I asked, "What does your factory do?"
"Don't underestimate counterfeit cell phones. We have four production lines in total, and we can assemble about 4,000 phones a day. With a processing fee of 50 yuan per phone, the gross profit is 200,000 yuan. This job requires no technical skills and is simple. If we can assemble a production line, we can take on the job. I've inquired about it, and one production line costs about 500,000 yuan, plus the cost of renting the site, at most 600,000 yuan. Even if we make a gross profit of 50,000 yuan a day, it will take us a few days to make back the money."
"You think it's simple. Let's not talk about the source of funds. The key is whether you can get the order?" Chu Sen said.
"If I'm not sure about this, how could I say it's interesting?" The handsome guy couldn't hide his smug look.
"Don't keep us in suspense, just finish what you are saying." Chu Sen said.
"The sales manager of this OEM factory is a classmate of mine from junior high school. He has tons of connections. As long as we can get the factory and equipment up and running, we can get any number of orders. Of course, the prerequisite is that he buys a stake. He charges a two-yuan commission for each phone. Do you think this job is feasible?"
"If you can really introduce business, the commission fee is not high. The key is whether you can be a reliable friend?" Chu Sen said.
"Let me put it this way. His father is the head of the Shenzhen Patent Office. How could he not know these electronics companies that make counterfeit phones? The reason he brought his son to Shanghai is because he's about to be promoted to the Shanghai Commerce Bureau. This is called pre-emptive planning. Otherwise, why would a mobile phone manufacturing factory suddenly come to Shanghai when all the factories are in Dongguan? That's the reason."
"I see. Okay, if you are really confident, invite your classmates out for dinner and we can talk in person." Chu Sen was tempted.
I said, "We're about to meet up with Uncle in Longhua Village. Why are you changing your mind so quickly?"
"I haven't changed my mind. If this business is really viable, let Handsome Qiang and Li Zhao take charge, and we'll be responsible for investing in and building the factory."
I was also drunk and said, "Have you decided to invest? I don't have that much money."
"A total of 600,000. Counting the handsome guy, each of us only needs to put in 200,000. The subsequent income will be 50,000 per day. At 10% net profit, that's 5,000. We'll get our money back in 120 days. Why not do such a profitable business?"
"What if I don't make any money? Can you guarantee that I won't lose money?"
"Isn't the work of repairing graves dangerous? Why do you want to do it? There are always costs to make money. Besides, isn't it good to have the opportunity to open up another channel? Why do you have to hang yourself on the same tree ?" Chu Sen said.
I think the last sentence moved me. I stopped arguing and thought for a while before saying, "Don't be too decisive yet. Let's talk about it after we finish."
"Yes, that's what I mean. I can't possibly pay money just because of a handsome guy's words. I also know that this guy is not reliable."
"Don't worry, I have 200,000 yuan in it. Who wants to lose money for fun?" The handsome guy said.
After deciding this, we had a few more drinks and went home drunk, completely unaware that a superstar in the mobile phone industry had risen.
I went to bed without even taking off my shoes when I got home. I was woken up by the phone ringing early in the morning. When I answered the phone, I heard a strange voice say, "Brother Yu, please save my child."
