Chapter 526 Why does the Shen family get all the good things?
At the end of August, Zhou Rong returned to Jiangcheng with several children.
Zhou's father and mother are still in Zhoujiawan, living their comfortable life.
The cash register developed by Xu Hanqi and his team can print receipts and integrate the cash box and receipts. Although it can only be operated simply by code and has no other functions, and one must remember the code of each item, it is much more advanced than other equipment on the market.
After the Jiangcheng Municipal Committee recommended the plan to the central government, the Ministry of Commerce canceled its original plan to introduce cash registers from Japan and purchased them directly from Feiyang Technology Company.
Xu Hanhua also arranged people to help promote the cash register in Hong Kong. The response was very good and he received several large orders.
Feiyang Technology had to recruit more workers and implement three shifts to ensure the fastest delivery speed.
Xun Zhenchao, the professional manager hired by Xu Hanhua, felt that the domestic equipment was too backward and the factory area was too small. After obtaining Xu Hanqi's consent, he hoped that Wang Chengnan could communicate with the leaders of the municipal party committee to expand the factory and introduce advanced equipment from abroad.
Wang Chengnan also felt that their factory needed to be expanded, so he submitted an application to the Municipal Party Committee.
The leader’s response was that land could be allocated in the suburbs, but the government had no money to invest, and Feiyang Technology would need to pay for the construction of the factory and purchase of equipment on its own.
Although Feiyang Technology has many orders, some domestic units are too slow to collect payments, and they delay payment for three to five months, resulting in the company's cash flow being very tight.
Xu Hanqi had no additional funds, and if the government did not intervene, he would have to borrow money from his father and elder brother. However, his shareholding was already pitifully small, and if it was diluted, he would be no different from an ordinary engineer.
Every time Tang Xing came to Jiangcheng, Xu Ce would invite him to dinner, exchange some experiences in the business world, and bring Xu Hanqi along.
Tang Xing complained a lot about the government's unfair behaviors. Xu Hanqi listened and kept them in mind. If the government cheated, all his investment would be wasted and he would not even have a place to appeal.
Xu Hanqi weighed the pros and cons and decided to postpone the construction of the factory and the purchase of equipment until the end of the year. If the capital recovery situation is ideal, he will expand the factory next year...
On September 9, Xu Hanqi visited the Shen family with a bunch of gifts.
He is very polite and handsome. He is also the general manager of Feiyang Technology Company. The Shen family is very satisfied with him.
Xu Hanqi found an opportunity to ask Zhou Gui if it would be convenient for his parents to visit him.
Shen Qingran is already 24 years old. In the eyes of some conservative people, she is an old maid. She has been dating Xu Hanqi for so long, and he has returned to his country. It would be inappropriate to stop their marriage.
Zhou Gui agreed to let Xu Ce and Wen Xin visit his home, and they could decide the time.
Xu Hanqi: "My parents are coming over next Sunday. Is it convenient for you and uncle?"
Zhou Gui: “Okay.”
When Xu Ce and Wen Xin learned that the Shen family agreed to visit them, they quickly prepared gifts.
On September 9, Xu Hanqi, Xu Ce and Wen Xin followed Jiangcheng customs and went to Shen's house with six pounds of meat, six fish with scales, six bottles of Moutai liquor, six packs of Xinhua cigarettes, six boxes of snacks, and six bundles of vermicelli tied with red thread.
Domestic cars are not currently sold to individuals. Xu Hanhua originally wanted to buy a car from Hong Kong and ship it to Jiangcheng to facilitate his parents' travel.
Xu Ce was worried that his family was too high-profile and would attract jealousy, leading others to secretly harm them, so he refused and, like ordinary people, took the bus or taxi when he went out.
Jiangcheng established a state-owned taxi service company in 75, but the taxi charges are unaffordable for ordinary people. The base price ranges from 3.5 yuan to 40 yuan, and the rental price per kilometer ranges from 0.5 yuan to 2 yuan. Due to the high price, drivers only have two or three trips a day at most, and there are few citizens who take the taxis. Most of them are people who come to Jiangcheng for business trips from other places, and occasionally some elderly people who need to go home from the hospital will also book a taxi.
Xu Ce and his friends had a lot of stuff, so they called a taxi to Xiangheli.
Nowadays, people travel by bus or bicycle. It is a big deal for a family to take a taxi.
The alley in Xiangheli is quite wide, so the taxi stopped directly in front of the Shen family's door, attracting quite a few people to watch.
When the neighbors learned that it was Shen Qingran's girlfriend who came with her parents, they were all envious.
Shen Qingran will be 25 years old after the Chinese New Year. She is a typical old maid. She has a good family background and has gone to college. If she can't get married, she will have to stay at home. Some people who are jealous of the Shen family's good life have said a lot of sour words about her behind her back.
But now, the person's partner has come to visit, not only with a car full of gifts, but also in a taxi. How come the Shen family has taken all the good things? !
When Qin Yanhua chatted with others, she often heard people mocking her granddaughter for being old and having difficulty getting married in the future, and advised her family not to be so picky and just find someone to settle for.
Every time Qin Yanhua heard such words, she would argue with others and the argument would always end in a bad mood.
The Xu family came today and made such a grand scene that Qin Yanhua felt that all her lost face was regained. She ordered Shen Chunheng to set off firecrackers to welcome Xu Ce and his family, and she also took out a bag of candy to give to the onlookers.
Those who got the candy congratulated Shen Qingran and praised her for being lucky and having good vision in finding a good husband...
In addition to fish, meat, cigarettes and alcohol, Wen Xin also gave Zhou Guiyuan cash, saying that Shen Qingran was the daughter-in-law chosen from thousands of people in their family, and if the Shen family had any other requests, they could just ask.
This stack of money shocked Zhou Gui, Shen Bohang, Shen Chunheng, Qin Yanhua and others, but their family knew that it was priceless and worth any good thing.
Zhou Gui: "We have no other requests, we just hope that Qingran and Hanqi can live a happy life in the future."
Wen Xin: "As parents, we all hope that our children live a good life. We will treat Qingran well, please rest assured. The two children have been together for such a long time, why don't we arrange their marriage by the end of the year?"
Zhou Gui: “Okay.”
After checking the calendar, everyone decided on the wedding date for January 82, 1, which happened to be a Sunday and the 10th day of the twelfth lunar month. Schools were almost on holiday, so Shen Shanqi, Shen Shanrui and the guests all had time to attend the wedding.
Wen Xin said that their family would be responsible for the banquet, and on the wedding day, relatives from both families would go to Xuan Gong Hotel to attend the ceremony. They would also purchase color TVs, refrigerators, washing machines, and water heaters from Hong Kong. She asked Shen Qingran if there were any other home appliances or other items he wanted so that they could purchase them in advance.
These fashionable home appliances have exceeded Shen Qingran's expectations. She had no other requests and looked at Zhou Gui and Shen Bohang to see if they had anything to add.
Shen Bohang originally wanted to give his daughter a 14-inch black-and-white TV as a dowry, but the Xu family wanted to buy a color TV, so he had to change to something else.
"We will buy the rest, so you don't have to worry about it. Treat my Qingran well in the future. If she gets wronged in your family, I won't be easy to talk to!"
Wen Xin: "Please rest assured, dear relatives, we will treat Qingran as our own daughter and will never let her suffer any grievances. If we break our promise, you can come to us to settle the score."
Shen Bohang: "I don't listen to empty words, I only look at actual actions."
