The Pentium Era - South to North

Teacher Ma gave Zhang Chen four bottles of Maotai, and Zhang Chen gave Liu Ligan two bottles. Liu Ligan knew the origin of the wine and shouted:

"Here I go, I can't bear to drink such a bad wine myself. I want to give it away to others."

"Going to pay bribes?" Zhang Chen asked.

"Bullshit, just pay bribes to buy fake wine." Liu Ligan said, "These people can't tell the difference anyway. They receive fake wine, cigarettes, calligraphy, paintings, and antiques. They are used to it, so they probably have never received counterfeit money."

"Your statement is too exaggerated." Zhang Chen said.

"It's not an exaggeration at all. Whoever receives such a thing would open it on the spot. They don't lack it. After receiving it, they just put it into the pile at home, and then someone in the family will take it away. They are sold in stores that recycle cigarettes and alcohol.

"In the store by the river in Mishi, we often go to buy cigarettes. The boss told me that once a woman brought two large vest bags and more than 30 cartons of Chinese cigarettes to sell, but you know she After checking, how many of them are true?”

Liu Ligan said, Zhang Chen asked: "How much?"

"Article 19, that is to say, almost half of them are fake cigarettes. What do these people want? They collect fake cigarettes, wine, calligraphy, paintings, and antiques to help others, but in the end they end up in a real prison." Liu Ligan After speaking, he laughed.

"Stop having fun, tell me, who are you going to give it to?" Zhang Chen asked, "You won't be so filial, so think of giving it to Lao Liu."

"It's just a gift to Lao Liu, but it's Lao Liu, Liu Chengcheng, not Lao Liu. If Lao Liu gives him this wine, then he's sorry for the wine."

Liu Ligan said: "Sending this to Lao Liu is not considered a bribe, it can only be regarded as a favor, right? I have no contact with him at all now. He has been retired for many years. Now he has been neglected for a long time. It's Mr. Ma." Yao, if I think of giving it to you, I wouldn’t think of giving this to the former mayor, right? The old demon wouldn’t send it to me.”

"Okay, okay, invite him to dinner, drink my two bottles, and take your two bottles with me when I leave. I haven't seen his old man for a long time." Zhang Chen said.

"Okay, you call to make an appointment." Liu Ligan said.

Zhang Chen immediately called Liu Chengcheng and asked the couple to have dinner. He said that the hotel had launched a lot of new dishes. There was no one else but Liu Ligan and I. We missed you both.

Liu Chengcheng readily agreed, and Zhang Chen told him, let's do it tomorrow night, Lao Liu, it's still the same box as before, at six-thirty, by the way, do you want me to come and pick you up?

Liu Chengcheng said no, I can just drive here by myself. The car is in the garage and has not been driven for a long time.

After Liu Chengcheng retired and returned to Hangzhou, Zhang Chen and Liu Ligan asked him to lead again, but he quit, saying that he was no longer in his position and was just an ordinary old man. Why should he lead? I don't even have the old lady at home. I can no longer lead.

Liu Chengcheng insisted that they call him Lao Liu, and Zhang Chen and Liu Ligan kept shouting, so they got used to it.

Basically every month, the two of them would invite Lao Liu and his wife to dinner and chat. Sometimes they would also go to the nearby "Renjia Travel" B\u0026B to stay for a few days, but they would not travel far, let alone go out of the province.

…

Zhang Xiangbei went to Yunnan for more than three months and established companies in Zhaotong, Qujing, Yuxi, and Wenshan. The companies here were all without exception. It turned out that they were all villages supported by their "Suishang Help" activities. The entire village was Village reform company.

After several model companies were established, Zhang Xiangbei left Yunnan, and their Yunnan branch continued to promote village transformation companies in other places.

At the same time, Feng Shengkuan is in Gansu and Xiang Evian is not stopping in Ningxia.

When Zhang Xiangbei left Yunnan, the Chinese New Year was still more than a month away. Instead of returning to Hangzhou, he went to Dawenwen and Daqianqian. His next target was the southern Hunan and northern Guangdong areas.

This time Zhang Xiangbei decided to break the provincial boundaries and combine southern Hunan and northern Guangdong, two places that are geographically close and have more convenient transportation.

It is more convenient to go from Guangzhou to northern Guangdong than from Chenzhou to northern Guangdong. Including some counties in southern Hunan, it is more convenient than Yongzhou to radiate from Chenzhou. Zhang Xiangbei put the center of this area in Chenzhou.

The same project is also being launched in other provinces where they already have branches.

Of course, "Zhaixianxian" has also continued to expand its presence in fresh food delivery in cities. Basically, it continues to expand at the pace of launching four or five new cities every month.

During this period, Zhang Chen's "Diet Men and Women" has entered the fast track to listing on the NASDAQ in the United States next year after undergoing the D round.

Zheng Huihong and her seniors visited Xiaofang many times respectively. Teacher Ma was responsible for saying anything that Zhang Xiangbei and Zhang Chen did not say in front of Zhang Xiangbei and Zhang Chen. Of course, the goal of both of them was to "deliver fresh food at home."

When I get busy, time flies really fast. New Year's Day of 2018 is coming soon, followed by the Lunar New Year. Zhang Xiangbei returns to Hangzhou to celebrate the New Year. On the fifth day of the new year, Xiang Nan will return to the troupe to participate in the tour. Zhang Xiangbei also returned to Chenzhou.

After the New Year, it was also the beginning of their "fresh delivery" rotation training for the following companies, especially the CEOs of various supply bases.

Mr. Kan from Yubei Company arrived in Hangzhou. He called Xiaofang. Zhang Chen and Xiaofang knew that Mr. Kan had come to Hangzhou, so they naturally wanted to invite Mr. Kan to dinner at Tuxiangyuan Hotel.

During the meal, Zhang Chen asked Mr. Kan how the company is doing now. Mr. Kan smiled and said it was very good. Mr. Zhang was so great. After he went to make adjustments, now the village committees and committees in several villages couldn’t talk anymore. We are the only ones. The company's instructions are only listened to below. Even I have almost forgotten that I am still a village director.

Zhang Chen's heart skipped a beat, and he asked Mr. Kan to introduce their company in detail, especially what they did after Zhang Xiangbei left.

Mr. Kan talked to them from beginning to end. Zhang Chen frowned as he listened. Mr. Kan hesitated as he talked, thinking that he had made a mistake somewhere.

Xiaofang looked at Zhang Chen and gently kicked him under the table. Zhang Chen suddenly realized and smiled at Mr. Kan. After a while, his face became solemn again and he spoke very little.

After dinner, Zhang Chen and Mr. Kan drank wine. Xiaofang drove the car, and the two of them took Mr. Kan to the hotel first and then went home.

Xiaofang drove the car and looked at Zhang Chen who was sitting in the passenger seat. He looked worried. Xiaofang asked:

"What’s wrong with you?"

Zhang Chen shook his head and said, "Nothing."

Xiaofang looked at him like this, and it didn't look like he had nothing to do, but she didn't ask any more questions. She knew that when he felt like he could speak, he would definitely tell her.

The two went home and took a shower. Zhang Chen went to the study. Xiaofang took her laptop and sat on the bed to work. At about ten o'clock, she got out of bed and walked to the study. When she opened the door, she saw Zhang Chen staring blankly. Sitting there, Xiaofang walked over and saw pens and papers on the table. Xiaofang put her hand on Zhang Chen's shoulder and asked:

"What are you thinking about?"

"I didn't think about anything." Zhang Chen looked at the clock on the table and said to Xiaofang, "You go to sleep first, I have to draw something."

Xiaofang nodded and said yes. She bent down and hugged Zhang Chen from behind. Zhang Chen turned around and the two of them kissed. Xiaofang said:

"You should come to bed early too."

Zhang Chen said "hmm".

Xiaofang slept until midnight, woke up in a daze, and found that the room was still empty. She looked at the time, and it was already past two o'clock in the morning. Xiaofang got out of bed, walked to the study, and opened the door. She was startled. , the smoke inside the door was all caused by Zhang Chen's cigarette. Zhang Chen hadn't smoked so much for a long time since Liu Li's knife.

Xiaofang quickly walked over, opened the window, and turned to look at Zhang Chen. The lead drawing paper on the table was still blank, and the ashtray was full of cigarette butts. Xiaofang sat down beside Zhang Chen and stretched out her hand. He held Zhang Chen's hand and asked:

"Honey, what's wrong with you?"

Zhang Chen looked at Xiaofang and smiled bitterly, and asked: "Teacher Ma and your senior, do they still have the intention to purchase Zhai Xianshui?"

"Of course, it's not just them." Xiaofang said, "What's wrong?"

"I think it's time for us to sell 'Zhaixianshui'," Zhang Chen said.

"What did you say?" Xiaofang was shocked.

“I said that we should sell ‘Zhaixianshui’ instead of continuing, including going public, because we don’t have that time,” Zhang Chen said.

Xiaofang looked at him with wide eyes. She was completely sleepless. She didn't understand what Zhang Chen meant. Zhang Xiangbei would definitely object to selling "Zhaixiangshou", but Zhang Chen turned out to be the most supportive. Zhang Xiangbei, in his words, will only be the father that a son wants his father to be.

"Why did you suddenly have this idea?" Xiaofang asked.

Zhang Chen looked at Xiaofang, who was only wearing thin pajamas. Then he looked at the clock on the table and the open window. Zhang Chen and Xiaofang said:

"You should go back and go to sleep. If you wear so little, be careful of catching a cold. I will think about it for a while and think it over clearly. I will tell you tomorrow morning."

Xiaofang wanted to say something else. Zhang Chen stood up. He stretched out his hand to pull Xiaofang up and sent her back to the room. He watched her get into bed again. Zhang Chen sat on the edge of the bed and touched Xiaofang's cheek and hers. explain;

"Go to sleep peacefully. I'm fine. I just need time to think about it. Tomorrow morning, I will definitely tell you why I had this idea."

Xiaofang nodded: "Then smoke less."

Zhang Chen said yes.

Zhang Chen kissed Xiaofang, stood up, reached out to turn off the lamp on the bedside table, and walked out.

Zhang Chen returned to the study. The cold February wind had come in from the window and filled the study. Zhang Chen walked to the window, closed the window, and sat down in front of the desk again. He reached for the cigarette on the table and took out a cigarette. After thinking about it, he threw the cigarette on the table.

Zhang Chen continued to think blankly. After thinking for a while, he picked up the mobile phone on the table, found Liu Ligan's number and dialed it.

After the phone rang for more than ten times and was picked up, Liu Ligan muttered on the phone: "Crazy, what time is it, and you still called me?"

"Come here, I have something to tell you." Zhang Chen said.

"What are you doing, fighting with Xiaofang?"

"Get lost." Zhang Chen scolded, "There are important things."

Liu Ligan had already sat up on the bed. He was awake and his voice was clear. He cursed:

"You fucking want me to go over now and wake up a room full of old and young people? You can't talk about anything on the phone?"

Also, in Zhang Chen's house, four old people and Zhang Xiangxi lived on the first and second floors. The old people slept lightly at night. If they heard that someone was coming in at this time, they would definitely get up to see what happened.

"I couldn't tell you clearly on the phone." Zhang Chen said, "I'll come over. You go downstairs and open the door for me."

In the house next door, Zhang Xiangbei and Xiangnan were not there, only Liu Ligan and Tan Shuzhen were there. Tan Shuzhen must have been woken up by this time, so who cares.

Zhang Chen hung up the phone, stood up, tiptoed out, closed the door gently, and tiptoed downstairs.
