Chapter 2372
Another School-Run Factory Opened
After Zhu Liqian finished washing up, she went upstairs and called He Xinghua, who was staying at home.
On the phone, she complained and vented to He Xinghua for a long time.
This is when she truly relaxes.
"...So tired, and Mommy is so tired too..."
"Xinghua, tell me, we're already so rich, why do we still have to work so hard?" Zhu Liqian didn't care how expensive the transoceanic phone call was, or whether He Xinghua on the other end of the line could hear her complaints. Anyway, she just said what was on her mind.
This is also her way of relieving stress.
"rustle···
Families like ours certainly don't need to worry about food.
But we also have our responsibilities.
Let alone my family, even your dad's side has thousands of people working for him.
"Can your dad take a break?" The call quality wasn't great, but He Xinghua's distorted words still reached Zhu Liqian's ears.
"snort···
But they are adults, and I am still a baby...” Zhu Liqian doesn’t care about anything else now, she only wants to act cute.
"Hehe...okay, okay..."
"You're a baby, I'll talk to Mom and ask her to give you a day off next time. We can't let her bully you all the time." He Xinghua knew how to coax his wife.
In terms of emotional intelligence, he far surpasses He Yuzhu.
"No, Mom is only doing this for my own good." Hearing this reassurance, Zhu Liqian became serious again.
These words made the lover on the other end of the phone laugh again.
People from families like theirs, what don't they understand?
Just like her choice of He Xinghua, it all seems like a coincidence.
But Carol Chu was quite clear that Ho Hing-wah was the best partner she could ever meet.
At least He Xinghua's romantic history is clean, and he genuinely likes her.
Just like her good friend Xiaoqiong, who is currently having a falling out with her family over her future partner.
According to everyone in Xiaoqiong's family, they probably wanted to marry her off to the second son of the Chen family, a playboy from Hong Kong Island.
The terrifying thing about this matter is not that Xiaoqiong disagrees.
In reality, Xiao Qiong had already agreed, but she was using her apparent disagreement and her scandals with a few minor Hong Kong celebrities as a pretext to get benefits from her father...
Compared to her good friend, Carol Chu felt incredibly fortunate.
After all, there was still love in her marriage, which she could sense.
After He Xinghua went to Xiao Rizi, he didn't go out partying. Every night at this time, he would wait to call her.
This is already very satisfying for her.
"When are you coming back?" Zhu Liqian asked coquettishly into the microphone.
"hehe……
"When do you want me to come back?" He Xinghua on the other end of the line couldn't be sure, so he threw the question back to Zhu Liqian.
In fact, He Xinghua has almost finished taking care of things in his personal life.
His visit to Xiao Rizi this time wasn't to have him do anything specific, but rather to express an attitude.
At least let those ordinary people know that the He family has no hatred towards them.
This reason seems ridiculous, but it is the reality.
In the past few years, all I've been thinking about is repairing my relationship with "us".
The attitude of the Ho Group, which is close to "us," is very important.
Since the idea is to make money off others and get some support for technological development from them.
You can't be aloof.
It was as if He Xinghua received a telegram from He Yuzhu, forwarded from Hong Kong Island, instructing him to purchase watch movements for his company. This was not an easy deal for a domestic enterprise to negotiate.
He Xinghua made just a few phone calls and secured long-term supply orders at prices of 7 and 13 yuan.
The overall price was 30% cheaper than what Xiao Rizi exported to Shanghai watch factories.
This is the sophistication of the world.
This wasn't some small-time person trying to curry favor with He Xinghua; it was a normal exchange of interests.
Shanghai watch factories had nowhere else to source their products except from Xiao Rizi.
Purchasing from Switzerland would more than double the price.
This is a complete seller's market.
The Ho Group has many businesses that the ordinary people can only watch longingly but cannot get involved in.
Putting aside other things, the Ho Group has invested in computer and mobile communication shares in foreign countries.
This is exactly what I, a person of modest means, crave.
But now, because their manufacturing industries are being impacted by the economic downturn, foreigners are becoming wary of them.
All collaborations, once they hear it's a small matter, become...
That would definitely increase the difficulty.
If the Ho Group could speak a few words of justice for them at this time, the difficulty would be greatly reduced.
Furthermore, the He Group's current investment in small businesses has reached 70 billion yen.
He is considered a relatively large investor.
Although the Ho Group invests in securities such as long-term convertible bonds in its daily life.
But Xiao Rizi is still thinking about keeping this big client.
Compared to those large investments, the purchase of watch movements, which costs at most one or two million US dollars a year, is about the same as adding a handful of scallions when buying vegetables, even with a slight discount.
"...Come back on Christmas Eve!" Carol Chu thought for a moment before speaking into the phone.
In recent years, Western holidays have gradually become popular in Hong Kong, and at least young people have accepted those holidays disguised in a romantic guise.
“Okay, I’ll definitely be there before Christmas Eve.” There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, then He Xinghua readily agreed.
"Really?" Xiaoqian jumped three feet high, her long legs quite eye-catching.
“I promise!” He Xinghua replied quite seriously.
In Beijing, the CNC Institute has quietly gained two more industries.
I set up an electronic watch assembly factory.
They opened an "electronics plaza".
Although this place is called an electronics plaza and has a big name, so far it only sells game console cartridges. They've confirmed that they'll be opening a digital watch shop here.
Most of them are grey market goods from the south.
Although they were grey market goods, their sourcing channels were completely legitimate, and no tax issues were found.
Even before the square was completed, many fashionable young people in Beijing had already made it a popular spot for taking photos.
Tickets for recordings, tickets for TV shows, tickets for motorcycles in Beijing...
Ultimately, all the tickets and coupons related to what is now called technology are unknowingly converging near this large shopping mall.
When He Yuzhu went to inspect the area last time, he encountered several people asking him if he wanted tickets...
This has left He Yuzhu completely bewildered.
He considered talking to the industry and commerce authorities, but seeing those guys carrying briefcases wandering around, he shook his head and gave up.
Why didn't the phenomenon of pigeon-selling cities be completely eradicated in the thirty years before the reform and opening up?
Isn't it precisely because the public has this demand that businesses can profit from it?
Therefore, trying to eradicate this industry through force is basically a thankless and futile effort; it's simply impossible. (End of Chapter)
