Novel Bin Chapter 664 - Uncle’s Visit
Chapter 664: Uncle’s Visit
Forget it. l will go with the flow even though I don’t understand why my father suddenly looks at Yang Ming differently. Is it because my father appreciated Yang Ming’s ruthlessness yesterday?
Sun Jie shook her head. She didn’t participate much in the underworld’s affairs. She didn’t know what kind of person her father would appreciate, so she subconsciously believed that her father appreciated Yang Ming’s behavior last night.
At this moment, she could only take one step at a time. Things would come to an end eventually. Although Sun Jie didn’t want to admit it, she realized that the feeling of doing it between a man and woman was actually different just as Yang Ming had said. It was quite distinctive.
Sun Jie wasn’t nostalgic to those feelings in the past. Sun Jie picked up her phone and dialed a number that she had not contacted for a long time.
“Hello, it’s me…” Sun Jie hesitated and said, “Are you free recently? Let us meet up again.”
No one knew the reply from the other end of the phone, but Sun Jie said after hearing it, “Great. Call me when you are free. I’m in Song Jiang now.”
Sun Jie sighed after putting down her phone. Why am I thinking of ending this ambiguous relationship? Is it because of Yang Ming? Perhaps I’m really tired of it?
After Sun Jie shook her head to throw away these confusing emotional entanglements, Sun Jie opened the company’s files and began to deal with some of the documents piled up due to Chinese New Year.
When Yang Ming returned home, he heard the conversation coming from the living room. He thought it was his father and Factory Manager Feng discussing the factory’s state of affairs… Oh, wait. It should be Manager Feng. The factory passed the city council’s consent and it would be wholly owned by Ming Yang. It was reformed as Song Jiang Ming Yang Heavy Industry Group. It specialized in the production of automotive parts. With Old Buffon’s support, the production line was in place at once. Not only could it produce automotive parts, but it also could produce blenders, cranes and other construction equipment. Hence, the originally intended name Song Jiang Ming Yang Car Company was a bit inapplicable. It was simply renamed as the general Heavy Industry Group. It seemed that Old Buffon intended to ship several helicopter production lines from Europe.
The secret technology of making airplanes was rarely extended to factories in foreign countries, but Old Buffon’s family just happened to hold an aircraft company. The production lines of the civil aircraft and fighters obviously couldn’t be easily exported, so only the helicopters at the lower threshold of manufacturing technology were given to Yang Ming. For this reason, Old Buffon felt a little guilty. After all, Yang Ming was Old Buffon’s master. Old Buffon should face the Master without reservation. However, Old Buffon couldn’t make the decision for certain things due to the limitation of the European Union.
Even so, Yang Ming had been very grateful. He secretly decided to teach Old Buffon some real techniques without violating his principles.
After all, China’s Kung Fu was profound. It depended on the person to obtain the enlightenment. However, Yang Ming could teach him on the surface martial arts that involved acupuncture points. At least it was enough for Old Buffon to show off in front of his friends.
“Dahai, can you help your older brother this time?” The voice of Yang Ming’s uncle, Yang Dashan, came from the living room.
“Brother, it isn’t that I’m not willing, but I really can’t help. The factory just started to run. There are too many places that require funds!” Yang Dahai said, “And isn’t your funding gap a bit too big?”
“Dahai, aren’t you the chairman of the group? Whatever you say doesn’t count? I just need five million. If I have five million, my Entertainment City will be able to continue operating!” Yang Dahai said anxiously.
“Brother, recently, Old Feng and I have also learned a lot about business. I also understand the situation of your Entertainment City. Even if you continue operating it, you will succumb to the fate of bankruptcy in the end. This isn’t something that can be salvaged through any funding!” Yang Dahai sighed.
Yang Ming grasped the general situation. It turned out that his uncle’s Entertainment City was really in crisis as Yang Ming had expected! According to uncle’s way of operating business, this result was inevitable, but Yang Ming didn’t expect that it wouldn’t be able to survive for just a few days.
Moreover, what made Yang Ming feel gratified was that his dad seemed to have finally become enlightened. He had become a lot more cunning. He no longer promised anything easily, and he had begun to look at the situation in a more comprehensive manner!
Most probably it was due to the merits of Feng Wanjiang and Hou Zhenhan over this period of time, who allowed his stubborn father to learn how to do business.
“Dahai, you can’t watch your eldest brother die!” Yang Dashan said hurriedly, “I work with Bao Sanli, Brother Bao, to carry out this Entertainment City project. If it goes bankrupt, Brother Bao would hack me to death. He is from the underworld!”
“Ai!” Yang Dahai sighed helplessly. After all, Yang Dashan was still his own elder brother. Yang Dahai couldn’t be ironhearted and lay it aside. “Brother, what do you want me to do? I can’t make the decision for the money. Moreover, you also know that the group is now funded by Ming Yang Entertainment Group. I’m just a chairman on paper.”
“Dahai, isn’t your connection with Ming Yang Entertainment’s President Hou well established? Can you convince him not to pursue my responsibility, otherwise, I will really be hacked to death!” When Yang Dashan noticed he couldn’t borrow money, he thought about saving his own life.
Also, Yang Dashan was worried because he lost a lot of money in the Entertainment City partnership. When he was helpless, he suddenly heard that his younger brother, Yang Dahai, suddenly became the chairman of Song Jiang Ming Yang Heavy Industry Group! Although it was a wholly-owned by Ming Yang Entertainment Group, Yang Dahai was at least a senior executive of Ming Yang. He could definitely have a few words with Hou Zhenhan! As long as President Hou gave a face to Yang Dashan, there was no danger to Yang Dashan’s life.
“This… I can help you facilitate a bit, but I can’t say whether it will work or not.” Yang Dahai nodded and agreed.
“That’s good! That’s good!” Yang Dashan was assured when he had gotten Yang Dahai’s promise. When he raised his head, he saw Yang Ming walk in and quickly said, “Yang Ming, you are back?”
“En, greetings, uncle.” Yang Ming nodded faintly. He was a little annoyed his heart. This uncle never listens to my advice. In the beginning, I have advised him not to get involved in these unfamiliar businesses. Right now, he did a good job losing all the funds, and yet he came again for assistance.
“Yang Ming… What do you think uncle should do for Entertainment City?” Yang Dashan knew the relationship between Yang Ming and Bao Sanli was good, but he wasn’t clear to what extent.
“Uncle, what is the current situation of your Entertainment City?” Yang Ming frowned. “You always say that you lose a lot. That is too general. You must at least let me know what is your situation right now for me to better decide how to help you.”
“It is still my nephew who understands me!” Yang Dashan listened to Yang Ming and said delightfully, “The situation is that the Entertainment City simply doesn’t make money. It is impossible to make ends meet every day. I thought it would only happen during the starting period and when time passed by in the long run, it would become better. But, I didn’t expect the situation to get worse. Also, our reputation had been degrading. Many people have privately told me that I’m not considerate… Why am I inconsiderate? When the business just started, I had given them free services, but in the end, it is me who is inconsiderate! It really pisses me off!”
“Uncle, they say that you are inconsiderate in the end because you gave away too many free services when the business just started!” Yang Ming shook his head and said, “Your initial free service became a bad habit of these people. They would think that they were entitled to your free service. If it isn’t free, it’s your fault in the end!”
“Yes… many of them think so…” Yang Dashan smiled bitterly, “I was wrong to give free services at the beginning! This bunch of thankless wretches!”
“Forget it. Don’t say this anymore. How much money do you have in your hands now?” asked Yang Ming.
“Nothing… And, I thought I could return the bank’s loan after a few months of operation. But I didn’t expect this to happen. Never mind making money now, I will offer prayers if I stop losing money!” Yang Dashan sighed.
“How about this, uncle? Since you came to my door, then I have to give you face.” Yang Ming was somewhat dissatisfied with uncle’s stubbornness initially. But in any case, Yang Dashan was Yang Ming’s own uncle. Yang Ming couldn’t just stay idle when something happened. Moreover, the most important thing was that the Tianjiao Entertainment City wasn’t only his uncle’s own business, Yang Ming also owned half of it!
“I will talk to Brother Bao about your state of affairs.” Yang Ming said, “President Hou and my dad have a good relationship. If I tackle it with these two aspects, I don’t think they will trouble you. However, they probably won’t give you the management rights.”
