Tang Jiao quickly completed the transfer procedures. Boss Xu looked very honest, but also shrewd. After completing all the formalities, Boss Xu politely led Tang Jiao and her uncle Shen Qing to Evergreen Magazine.
The magazine has been shut down for two months. Since Boss Xu planned to leave, both of their publications have been suspended.
But this is human nature. Evergreen Magazine does not make money. Now, one more month of opening is equivalent to one more month of loss.
Since Boss Xu is leaving, he certainly doesn’t want to continue losing money.
The small building has three floors. Tang Jiao only took a look at the outside yesterday. After coming in today, she found that it was quite good. Although it doesn't look big from the outside, when you walk in, you feel that the area is not particularly small. The layout of the upstairs and downstairs is good, square and very regular.
Boss Xu introduced: "You see, although our magazine operation is average, the layout is still very good. I heard that Miss Tang also plans to continue running the magazine? This can't be better."
He said with a smile: "Actually, I have always wanted to make a move, but most people want to change it to something else. Although I am in business, I am still a literary person. After all, I still hope to maintain his original function. I don't want to This magazine is really in ruins. Now that Miss Tang has taken over, I feel more relieved."
Tang Jiao said politely: "Actually, I don't know if I can do it well. Anyway, since I have to do it, I have to try my best. I heard that Mr. Xu is going abroad? I don't know when he will leave?"
She speaks softly and seems very easy to get along with.
Comments about Tang Jiao are very polarizing. Some people say that she is arrogant and domineering and very difficult to get in touch with. Some people say that she is just a little girl.
Mr. Xu seems to believe the latter more.
A gentle and sweet little girl, to say she is domineering is an exaggeration.
He said: "I will probably leave next week, and everything has been sold. In fact, I am always worried about leaving my hometown, but my children have already planned to stay abroad. As a father, I am always a little worried. . It’s always good to go with him now.”
Tang Jiao smiled slightly, as if she was nodding with concern.
Boss Xu added: "Here, let me introduce to you. The first floor is mainly the magazine's data room and warehouse. When I decorated it, I divided it into three rooms. One is for newspapers, one is for pictorials, and the other is for other things. For data storage, the three rooms are quite large, but because there is not much work here, I only arranged one person here."
Boss Xu introduced as he walked, and Tang Jiao nodded lightly or heavily according to what he said, indicating that she heard it.
After visiting the first floor, he said: "Come here. This is the stairs."
Tang Jiao and the others came to the second floor together.
"The second floor is mainly the editorial department of the Evening News. There are currently four people still working there, including an editor-in-chief."
Compared with the first floor that is divided into several rooms, the second floor is not. Except for an editor's office, everyone else is in a spacious hall. It can be seen that there were not just such a few people in the first floor. It should be due to layoffs. of.
In fact, in general, compared to the first floor, the second floor is a bit worse and seems a bit disorganized.
The third floor has the same layout as the second floor. In addition to a separate editor's room, there is also a general manager's room and a reception room.
Tang Jiao asked softly: "I remember that your registration items include printing equipment."
Boss Xu nodded and said: "Yes, the printing equipment is all in the factory, but the space is rented. Miss Tang should know this, right? Our printing factory is in the suburbs. I rented it for five years at the time, and I still have it now. When half a year expires, I have also said hello to them. This half year is the spare time I have left for you. You can use it for a few months as a buffer. If you think it is suitable, you can continue talking with the landlord. If you feel it’s not suitable, you can use this half year to find a new location.”
Tang Jiao nodded and said slowly: "I know, I will go over and take a look later."
Boss Xu said: "The landlord is actually quite nice and not difficult to talk to. I think Miss Tang can handle it well."
Tang Jiao said: "Are the workers in your printing factory still there?"
Boss Xu: "Yes, there are a total of twenty workers in the printing factory. I can't trust anyone else as the director, so he hired my brother-in-law. I have told him about this. If you think it is not suitable, you have no choice but to resign." What. He just looks for another job."
Xu was worried about Gu Tingyun's relationship, but he was polite and explained everything very well.
Tang Jiao sighed, checked it up and down, and then said, "Then let's go take a look at the machine."
In fact, there are only two most valuable things in this magazine. One is the house, which cannot be moved on the ground. There's not much to worry about either. Another item is the printing factory's machinery.
Although Tang Jiao is considered smart, she doesn't know much about these things. That's why she borrowed someone from Master Qi Ba.
A group of people came to the factory, and the technician arranged by Qi Baye inspected the equipment and nodded.
Seeing his approval, Tang Jiao felt a little relieved.
She laughed softly and said, "Thank you so much for bothering Mr. Xu to walk like this with us for a whole day."
Boss Xu shook his head and said, "It should be."
The group finally said goodbye.
The technician's surname was Jiang, and he was in his fifties. Tang Jiao called him Lao Jiang.
Lao Jiang said: "Evergreen Magazine used to share a printing factory with others, but something went wrong later, so they went it alone. Their machines are only about two years old. If they buy a set of such machines now, they will be You can’t get it for 10,000 yuan.”
Tang Jiao was a little surprised. Although she knew this thing was not cheap, she didn't expect it to be so expensive.
Thinking that I had estimated more than a thousand at the beginning, it is actually a bit ridiculous now that I think about it.
But Lao Jiang added: "But this thing is like this. As long as you buy it, no matter how long it is used, it is second-hand. Then it is not worth so much money. After all, not many people can use such a complete set of printing equipment now. And … Who doesn’t just buy new things when there are some problems and they need to be maintained? As soon as Boss Xu sold this thing, he went abroad. Even if there were problems, he couldn’t find them, which is why he couldn’t sell them at a high price. "
Tang Jiao smiled: "In any case, we still have an advantage, right?"
Lao Jiang said seriously: "It doesn't count. If he wants to sell this second-hand thing on the market, it will only cost three thousand. More is difficult."
After thinking about it again, he added: "Others just turned around and left the country. If there are subsequent problems that cannot be dealt with, if we really have to take action, it will only cost more than one thousand. Two thousand is enough."
After saying this, Tang Jiao laughed.
From this point of view, the original quotation is also a real price within the normal range.
However, in the end the deal was made for five thousand, and Gu Tingyun's face was involved in it.
Tang Jiao thanked Lao Jiang and left with Shen Qing.
Shen Qing didn't say much. Since Ayou was the one to do it, he didn't want to get more involved.
I have to say that apart from being a little doting on children, Shen Qing is very measured in other things. When it comes to raising children, he is also excellent.
Tang Jiao was not too tired after being away for a day. She and Shen Qing chattered: "If I take over, the newspaper office will do simple decoration. The first floor is not bad, which makes me feel quite satisfied, but the second and third floors are really... It’s a bit out of shape.”
But if it is to be re-decorated, the cost will be high.
But Shen Qing didn't say anything.
He did the math and found that Ayo should still have a lot of money in his hand, so it was okay to look at it that way.
Now, everything else is actually trivial. The most important problem is the factory.
He said seriously: "Over there in the factory, what do you think?"
Tang Jiao raised her head: "Where are you watching, uncle?"
Then he laughed and said: "In this way, I will tell you my opinion, and uncle will give me some advice."
If possible, Tang Jiao would definitely not want to move, not to mention whether she could find a more suitable place. As far as the machine is concerned, moving it around like this may not be without side damage. So Tang Jiao was inclined to stay. However, the current rental price is definitely different from that of five years ago. The price must be increased. Tang Jiao's opinion is that the price increase is okay, but it must be similar to that of the factory in the same period. The surrounding housing prices are within the consideration range. If it was too outrageous, she would definitely give up.
Shen Qing nodded, agreeing with her point of view.
Although he originally made up his mind to do nothing, he was still a little worried. Seeing Tang Jiao's analysis so clear and logical, I felt a lot safer.
It was already evening when Tang Jiao returned home.
The moonlight had gradually climbed up the branches, and Shen Lianyi was a little worried. When he asked about various things, Tang Jiao answered them one by one.
Tang Jiao ran around all day and had to go to class the next day. Shen Lianyi didn't dare to delay her. After hearing what she said, she didn't ask so many questions.
Just seeing Tang Jiao going up the stairs, Shen Lianyi sighed: "This girl is really smart. I don't know if there is any problem with buying that newspaper with so much money."
She was always worried.
Shen Qing smiled and said simply: "Whether it's good or not, it's just practice."
After saying that, he turned around and entered the study. He was also starting to build his restaurant. It was a busy time now.
Shen Lianyi was still a little worried.
When Yang Congwen saw it, he patted her hand and comforted her: "They don't care. I think they are confident. Don't worry too much. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. I think Tang Jiao is very energetic, so let her give it a try." That’s good. Maybe you’re worried so much here that she doesn’t even take it to heart! Are you right?”
Shen Lianyi glanced at him with a smile and said, "Originally, my brother always indulged Ayou, but now that you say so, I don't know how to express myself."
After a pause, he added, "You won't help me either."
Yang Congwen smiled honestly, how could he help
Regardless of whether this matter is good or bad, it is not his stepfather's place to talk about.
Talking too much will inevitably be bad. In order to avoid suspicion, he rarely spent time alone with Tang Jiao. Although he was an informal person, he had some sense of propriety in this regard.
He said: "No matter what you do, I will support you in my heart. As for Tang Jiao's matter, I still can't say too much. Besides, I also think she might be really good."
After hearing this, Shen Lianyi hummed and said, "I know everything."
Yang Congwen laughed and said, "How about I teach you how to read? Come on, let's go to the room to read."
Shen Lianyi responded with a smile.
When Tang Jiao went downstairs again, there was no one downstairs. She came to the study and knocked on the door.
Shen Qing watched her go and come back, and asked, "What?"
Tang Jiao said: "I have to go to school tomorrow. Can uncle help me contact you? I plan to go to the newspaper office the day after tomorrow to hold a meeting for everyone. Since business is going to continue, people's hearts must be won over. They have stopped working. Two months, I think it’s also a time when I feel impetuous.”
Shen Qing: "Okay, do you need me to talk?"
A little girl is always worried that someone will take advantage of her and try to take advantage of her.
Tang Jiao laughed out loud and rejected Shen Qing directly.
She said: "Do you think I'm easy to bully? If I don't let them know how powerful I am for the first time, I'm afraid my words will be ineffective in the future. No matter what my age, I have to have my dignity."
"good."
"Also, can I contact your friend Detective Li? I want to discuss some business with him."
Shen Qing raised his eyebrows: "What are you doing?"
Tang Jiao smiled slightly: "Of course we are talking about business."
She is very innocent!
"I don't want to chat with him."
Shen Qing was helpless: "Just be brave."
At this time, Zuiyue Tower.
Gu Tingyun and Qi Baye were having dinner together, and standing beside them was a man. This man was no one else, he was really Lao Jiang.
Lao Jiang was meticulous in describing everything today, and he did not miss any detail.
After he finished speaking, Qi Baye waved his hand and left quickly.
Gu Tingyun took a sip of tea to clear his mouth, then put down his chopsticks, smiled lightly, and said, "Our Ayo is indeed very capable."
He seemed to be proud and proud.
Qi Baye clicked his tongue and said with emotion: "Brother Qi, your current appearance is really unbearable to look at."
Gu Tingyun smiled and looked at Qi Baye. Qi Baye immediately shut up and said, "I was wrong. I was wrong."
Then he added: "But if you don't trust her, you can come forward in person, or even buy it for her. If you take action, others will not dare to say anything."
Gu Tingyun smiled faintly and said lightly: "Of course I can give it to her. As long as she wants, I can give her everything. But, if this is the case, what fun can she have?"
He became more and more meaningful: "Old man, not every woman is the same."
