Chapter 1804
I don't know what "awful" means
The main reason is that Wang An gives a lot of good things to the second generation every year, making them all feel that "he who eats another's food is bound to him, and he who takes another's money is bound to him."
Later, the establishment of the motorcycle factory and motorcycle shop kept He Liang and Ma Guoqiang extremely busy, which finally gave the group of second-generation rich kids a reason not to let Wang An escape his leisure time alone.
So, after Wang An took over the management of the motorcycle factory and motorcycle shop, the second generation of the family were quite happy.
Now that He Liang and Ma Guoqiang have brought up the matter again, it can be seen as an opportunity to vent their dissatisfaction.
Wang An's act of provoking Wu Dong was a spur-of-the-moment decision, and now that he was being attacked by everyone, he naturally didn't dare to delve deeper into the topic, so he took the initiative to change the subject:
"Hey Wang, Liang, what's the situation with the gold shop right now?"
No sooner had Wang An finished speaking than Wu Dong smiled knowingly and said:
"What? Aren't you going to hold us accountable for not producing the liniment for sprains and bruises first?"
Wang Shuai also chimed in with a smile:
"Well, Xiao An, you should investigate this further. It's all our fault. If you tell us, we can admit our mistakes and correct them."
As soon as Wang Shuai finished speaking, He Liang and Ma Guoqiang immediately joined in the commotion:
"Yes, yes, Xiao An, you have to keep pursuing this. How can you not pursue it? I was thinking of learning from you how to be as shameless as you."
"Exactly, exactly. I'd like to see just how thick-skinned you are, that you can still shamelessly say whatever you want every day, hehehehehe."
And so, the four of them took turns criticizing Wang An, leaving him only able to laugh awkwardly and unable to utter a single word in rebuttal.
Zhang Shuya and Sun Nian watched this scene with smiles on their faces, looking quite interested.
Seeing that Wang An remained silent, Wu Dong chuckled and said:
"Xiao An, why aren't you saying anything? You're always chattering away, aren't you? You're usually so talkative, so say something!"
Wang Shuai's Yin-Yang Dao:
"Oh no, we've made Xiao An feel ashamed."
As he spoke, Wang Shuai pointed at Wang An's face and said again:
"Look at him, look at him! Xiao An's face is all red with shame, it's as red as a monkey's bottom, hahaha."
After saying that, Wang Shuai burst into laughter, and Wu Dong, Ma Guoqiang, and the other two also burst into laughter.
Only Zhang Shuya and Sun Nian continued to watch this scene with great interest, as if they also enjoyed seeing Wang An suffer a setback.
Wang An realized that he had become the target of everyone's criticism, so he immediately adopted the style of "discretion is the better part of valor," clasped his hands together, and tapped Wu Dong and the other three four times in succession, looking solemn but speaking in a submissive tone:
"It's all my fault, brothers. Please forgive me this time, okay? I will always heed your teachings and follow your lead. From now on, if you say one thing, I will do another. If you tell me to beat a dog, I will definitely not chase a chicken."
And so, Wang An rambled on and on, spouting a lot of sweet nothings and nonsense, which made everyone burst into laughter again.
Fortunately, Wang An's words of reassurance were not in vain, because Wu Dong and the others finally stopped nitpicking about Wang An.
Wu Dong said while laughing:
"Xiao An, you know what? That's what I admire most about you—it's absolutely awesome, incredibly awesome, hahahaha!"
Wang Shuai suddenly asked curiously:
"That point? What is that point? What do you admire about him?"
Wu Dong pointed at Wang An and said to everyone:
"He has no idea what 'shabby' means." After Wu Dong finished speaking, everyone was stunned for a moment, then Wang Shuai said with great agreement:
"You know what, it's true, his face is as thick as a city wall."
The crowd finally couldn't help but burst into laughter again.
After laughing, Wang Shuai began to seriously talk about the gold shop, with He Liang adding to the story.
According to Wang Shuai and He Liang, as of now, there are more than 40 gold shops in the area, and Longjiang Gold Shops can be found in all the major cities in Northeast China.
However, the gold shop has no plans to expand further in the short term.
There's no way around it; the capital investment required to open a gold shop is simply too huge. The profits from motorcycles and pharmaceutical factories have been largely diverted to open gold shops.
So neither the pharmaceutical factory nor the motorcycle shop had much money left in their accounts.
Therefore, if they continue to expand, the motorcycle factory and the pharmaceutical factory may be dragged down and killed.
Fortunately, some gold shops have started to generate profits, which is the only thing that makes people happy. Although these shops haven't made much money yet, at least the gold in people's hands is being sold off steadily and in an orderly manner.
However, although the expansion of the gold shops came to a temporary halt, the future expansion plan has been set by everyone: if they want to open more gold shops, they should start expanding to areas outside Shanhaiguan, namely the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region.
Once the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region is settled, we'll head south until Longjiang Gold Shops are present in every economically developed area.
Of course, this is a plan that may not be completed for several years, so no one is in a hurry.
After Wang Shuai finished speaking, everyone had a complete understanding of the pharmaceutical factory and the gold shop.
Wu Dong also asked Wang An:
"Xiao An, how's it going with the motorcycles?"
Wang An was taken aback upon hearing this and subconsciously replied:
"No, I've been away from home for over a month, haven't you come to check on the motorcycle factory and motorcycle shop?"
In Wang An's view, during the time he was away from home, these shareholders should have known about the motorcycle factory and motorcycle shop.
After all, although Wang An was in charge of the motorcycle business, it was still a shared industry for everyone. Didn't they worry that something might happen to their business and affect their profits?
Wang An's words surprised Wu Dong and the others. After exchanging glances for a moment, the six second-generation rich kids spoke with righteous indignation:
"What are you saying? Why should we be looking at the things you're in charge of? If we keep checking on things all the time, it's like we don't trust your abilities."
After Wu Dong finished speaking, He Liang also said with a smile:
“I did come to see it once before, but I think this motorcycle shop is quite well-organized, so even if I come and keep an eye on it every day, it won’t make any difference.”
Wang An nodded, then looked at Zhang Shuya and Sun Nian.
Noticing Wang An's gaze, Zhang Shuya calmly said:
"I'm so busy every day, how could I possibly have time to worry about motorcycles?" (End of Chapter)
