Chapter 16

Before I went to visit the prison, I bought a lot of delicious food, drinks and fun things. I thought it would take a day to drive back, but I didn’t expect Da Biao to take me directly to a helicopter on the roof of Lin Ye’s house. Is it true that the background of the special forces is really good, even the plane can fly.

When I arrived at the Detention Center of X City, Da Biao went over and said a few words, and this time I registered smoothly with my ID card.

As soon as Chu Yuanjiang walked out, my eyes never left him. His eye sockets were sunken, his face was very yellow, only one pair of eyes was still full of gloom and fierceness as before.

"Yuanjiang..." I first passed the things across the table.

He took the things by hand, sat down and looked at me deeply, as if he was not the one who was imprisoned: "You have lost a lot of weight..."

Looking at his appearance, I couldn't help but lower my voice: "Hehe, I didn't mention you and you still talked about me..."

He hooked the corners of his mouth and said indifferently: "I've seen it all, don't worry too much."

I reached out and held his hand: "Don't say that. It's still the same sentence, I have everything. You have to trust me."

The bones in his palm were protruding, and I was shocked when I touched it: "I brought you a lot of food and drink, all of which you like."

"I don't see how capable you are." He flipped through the contents of the bag with his other hand and raised his eyebrows.

"Hehe, needless to say..."

He laughed, but the smile quickly faded away.

"What's the matter? Can you tell me?" He raised his sunken eyes and looked at me deeply, with a slight upturned corner of his mouth.

"I sent the material to the letter in the morning." The material was given to me by Lin Ye, and I knew that this material would set off another wave of earthquakes, this time it would be deeper and more accurate. But for Chu Yuanjiang, I have to do this.

"..."

The general content is explained in the folder in the bag, and I said: "How to say it specifically, wait for the lawyer."

"You... are you doing something for me?"

"It was handed over to me before you left. Did you forget that you asked me to send it over?"

"... I didn't expect it to be so big." He sighed, "I've been in a daze these days... I fell so dizzy..."

"Yuanjiang..."

"But it's worth it." As he spoke, the corners of his eyes narrowed unconsciously: "I've been worth it in my life, Junzi. Isn't that what men want? Now I'm gone. After many years, someone will still remember me, you Say it?"

"A Yuan, don't say that..." I took out the smiling Buddha on my neck from my clothes and dangled it in front of his eyes: "You are worth it, but I am not. Wouldn't it be good for us to live as brothers?"

"Junzi..." He put his hand on his forehead.

"kindness?"

"I'm dragging you down..." He looked at the hand I was holding, and his voice became hoarse: "You are always meddling with mother-in-law and mother..."

"I care about you, I don't care about others."

"I was so fucking unlucky to meet you at that time... I have struggled for most of my life, but my brother is not a hot drinker outside, but looks at people every day. Why do you think you are so out of tune..."

"I am willing, and this is my life."

"..."

"Besides, I wouldn't be here today without you. Don't think about it, ah! I'm waiting for you outside." The time for visiting the prison is almost here.

He was suddenly agitated: "Junzi..."

I looked at him and burst into a smile: "Shall we hug one?"

He was startled, then laughed and scolded: "When will your habit of rushing people change..."

I didn't say anything, just walked over and hugged him: "When you come out, I'll make some noodles for you to eat."

He didn't speak for a long time, and finally he just let out a muffled voice: "Success."

After I went back, I didn't stay idle, I bought a small duplex not far from Lin Ye's house. He made up his mind to do it as early as possible. Chu Yuanjiang hasn't been sentenced yet, even if he is sentenced, the sentence will be commuted after the limelight has passed in the past few years. There are many places to beg him.

I only talk about the speed when I do things, and by the way, I went to the decoration company to choose a comfortable home model, and paid all the money in one lump sum.

Lin Ye sent over the company information. It turned out that he is the president and I am the vice president. So on Monday I put on a new Armani suit and parachuted in.

Lin Ye grandly launched me at the conference in front of all the employees.

In less than a week, the people below all realized that the president who was transferred not long ago basically did not appear in the company. If he wanted to ask for instructions, he would basically wave his hand and ask the vice president.

After a week of observation, I also found that there are many talents in the company, much better than me, with at least a master's degree or above, and it is a key university, but it is a pity that everyone's mind is not on creating profits. It is often seen that several people come to the company to play cards around the table on the rest day, and receive double salary overtime by the way.

This company is one of the previous civilian projects of military industry, which is to transform some eliminated and declassified military technology into civilian machinery and sell them on the market. However, the good advanced technology has not been changed and the idea has not been improved. The things produced only have a high-tech label, but they do not meet the market, and no one wants them at all.

I discussed the reorganization with Lin Ye, and he directly gave me a guideline: "You can't lay off employees, it's best not to transfer jobs, wages can't be reduced but increased, benefits can't be reduced but increased, but profits must be increased."

I took a deep breath, this thing is really difficult to handle.

This company is a national brand wearing red clothes. Not to mention the loss every year, it starts from March 8th throughout the year, along the 51546171811, the Spring Festival, the Dragon Boat Festival and the Ching Ming Festival. On the other side, all kinds of subsidies are distributed to employees in the name of the gala, from boxes of apples to the latest mobile phones in hand. I just watch the money flow out little by little, becoming "Operating costs", but there is nothing to do.

The last time I went to the financial office to get a pen, I asked for a fountain pen, but the director told me that there were no fountain pens, only water-based pens. I didn't care too much, so I said that I would buy some pens next time, and that I would need pens for signing on formal occasions in the future. As a result, within two days, a Montblanc pen was placed on my desk.

I went to check the price list, 28,000 pieces, a total of 10 pieces were ordered this time, including the general manager, the vice president, and several directors. I couldn't help but take a deep breath.

But I can't mend the big hole in Nuo.

According to Lin Ye's words, these people come in with special reasons. You know that you have offended them, but you don't know who is behind them. So he wants to make this enterprise beautiful, so that everyone below can benefit.

Then he patted me on the shoulder and told me he believed I would do it. That complexion was more sincere than Liu Bei's looking at Zhuge Liang, and his eyes were hotter than Cao Cao's looking at Guan Yu.

Of course he believed me, Chu Yuanjiang was still locked inside.

It's just that he changed his face too quickly. Fortunately, he was caught off guard at the beginning, otherwise I really thought it was two people.

I was so busy that I changed everything I could, such as prohibiting overtime work.

But Lin Ye seemed to have disappeared, and the burden was just thrown to me.

After a period of exploration, I found that the company does not have profitable projects, but in order to develop harmoniously, it sells machinery for each type of work, with a complete range and styles. Some varieties lose money, and among those that make money, some earn more and earn less. Spreading it out, they can't make ends meet every year.

Everyone's life is very nourishing. In the name of supporting the civilian use of military industry and ensuring the integrity of the industrial chain, a large amount of money is allocated to fill this bottomless pit every year, which makes everyone lose their fighting spirit.

So I had no choice but to go back to City X again, and brought back several key executives from my previous company; I also looked around for talents who understood both scientific research and the market, so busy, three months passed. Every time Lin Ye comes to the company, I will report to him.

Every time he would sit in his spotless office, look at the report I submitted through his glasses, well-dressed, elegant, and quietly unpredictable.

After he "received the wind" for me that day, there was no one there, and I didn't know what he was busy with. But every week, he always comes to "inspect" once or twice.

I stood by and waited for his instructions. He didn't say much, and occasionally pointed me to some key points in interpersonal relationships. I listened carefully, his tone was very light, and his expressions were hasty, but he never forgot one sentence: I believe in you.

Naturally, I will not disappoint his 'trust'. Three months later, I re-established a scientific research department, intending to redesign the most profitable category of existing machinery, hoping to open up better sales. The salaries of the few newly recruited outsiders are all based on equity incentives. However, a few old employees who were in the design department voluntarily applied to be transferred to the new department, which surprised me a little.

In three months, I still have two gains.

The first harvest is that my house has been decorated, and I asked people in the industry to purchase furniture, trying to be a businessman with the style of City B. I locked that Cadillac in the garage, and now I drive the bus to and from get off work. It's a black Audi. I also tried to get closer to the red-capped merchants in City B when I was wearing it, and now I have learned a little bit about it.

The second harvest is that the price of the thousands of tons of iron ore I hoarded when I first joined the company has skyrocketed. At that time, I knew that changing the operating conditions of an enterprise was not a one-day effort. But the company can wait, but Chu Yuanjiang can't. I have to give Lin Ye the first shot in a short time.

Before I ran a company, I was often confused by the fluctuating raw material prices, so I did some research on futures prices in the international market. Futures are difficult to do, but spot goods have no deadlines and leverage ratios. It's not surprising that I bet right on iron ore this time. After all, I'm in City B, with more news and connections.

I sold all the thousands of tons of iron ore I had hoarded, and the company’s book profit in this quarter doubled at once. It happens that a quarterly report is published every three months. It is since I took over the company that the company has grown by leaps and bounds, with a profit increase of up to 100%.

I just got off the plane that day and signed a big order with a hydropower plant that was under construction in another place. I just rushed back to the company to deal with the matter when I saw Lin Ye's car parked at the door.

It was a black Maybach.

He was leaning against the car door, smoking a cigarette, wearing a white shirt, with gold-rimmed eyes, quiet and refined, just looking at me with the smell of cigarettes in his eyes, people can't figure it out: "Boss Ou is going Where's the rush?" He asked in a neutral tone.

"Young Master Lin." I hurriedly handed over my things to the assistant and walked towards Lin Ye.

He turned and opened the car door: "Get in the car."

I nodded and followed him into the car.

"You did a good job. The old man is very satisfied. He even asked me where I found such a talent." He looked out the window expressionlessly, as if he was looking at the scenery on the side of the road.

The muscles on my face have become stiff and numb due to several days of negotiations and socializing, and even my voice is a little hoarse: "State-owned enterprises are easy to do, have strong signs, easy business negotiations, and a lot of liquidity. As long as they are not too greedy or do nothing, It’s what everyone does well.”

Only then did he turn his gaze to me: "Can you stop talking so much?"

"I am telling the truth."

"If I want to know the truth, I only need to see what you have done. Pay attention to me after you speak, and say that you are beautiful. Today is the old man who wants to see you."
