Chapter 823: Daily Life

"What are you busy with?"

At home, Wei Lan saw Wang Yan fiddling with something she couldn't understand, which seemed to be software for making drawings, and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Designing a house. This isn't because I've been communicating with the designers from the Ninth Bureau about the architectural design of our headquarters recently, so I just taught myself some things in this area to facilitate better communication. Didn't I tell you before that the land where we live has been circled? It just so happens that I'm practicing, designing it myself."

"It's only been half a month, right? You've already learned it?" Wei Lan was surprised, but felt it was customary, and turned to ask strangely, "No renderings? Just like the developers?"

"Yes, isn't this it? You see how it is."

Wang Yan operated for a while, and the 3D rendering was displayed on the computer screen.

It was a three-and-a-half-story building with blue tiles and white walls. The first floor was underground, and the second and third floors were staggered, creating a carport and a terrace. Both the front and back had small courtyards, with swings and pavilions, as well as rendered flowers and plants.

"Occupying three hundred square meters, the indoor area is about five hundred and sixty square meters, with three independent bathrooms and walk-in closet rooms. One room upstairs for the two of us, and two rooms downstairs for the children. The others are some functional rooms, study, kitchen, dining room, etc..."

Listening to Wang Yan's narration, Wei Lan combined it with the house location she knew, thinking about what kind of scene that was.

Their house is on the north bank of the Liugu River. According to the plan agreed upon before, Long Teng Group will take out a sum of money to repair the Liugu River and appropriately transform it to make it look better. Their house is by the Liugu River. Although it is not a high-rise, there will be no taller buildings in front, so they can see the river and the sea. It must be good scenery in spring, summer, and autumn, but not in winter, because the water will freeze and the flowers will wither in winter.

"Don't say, it's really quite good." Wei Lan, holding her increasingly large belly, offered praise, "I didn't expect that you could look like this after learning for only a few days. I just can't understand, with your IQ, how did you only get into a junior college?"

"It's a coincidence, I didn't like studying before, I hadn't read a few pages of books, so it's strange that I could get into a good university."

Wang Yan shook his head and smiled. He couldn't remember what dreams the boy running in the sunset once had, but it was nothing more than living in a mansion, driving a luxury car, sleeping with beautiful women, and living a drunken life. He had realized all these once, and there would always be absurdities and evils that couldn't be written out. The dream had already shone into reality, making the child who ran barefoot on the loess land become a big boss who would owe hundreds of billions."

He didn't say much, but turned to ask about serious matters, "How is the Chinese medicine company talking?"

"It's almost in contact. I told you once before, it's called Changsheng Pharmaceutical, in Jilin Province, a listed company, with a market value of about 2.4 billion. Chinese medicine business accounts for 80%, and it also involves real estate business, developed several residential projects, and some low-end manufacturing factories."

It can't hold on anymore, with a debt of one billion. Better ones won't sell, this one is not bad, has a laboratory, has cooperative herbal farmers. Although the main business scope is still in the Northeast, there are also cooperative plantations in other regions. We bear the debt and acquire the equity in their hands according to the market price. Currently, it is under investigation and audit. If there is no problem, we will acquire and delist."

Wei Lan said very easily. Nowadays, the money passing through her hands is all in units of 100 million, and it is debt-financed operation, and it is going to owe hundreds of billions, so she has long been numb."

"Okay, you pay more attention, strive to solve this matter in these two months, and hurry up to cultivate our own herbal farmers. It doesn't feel very good to have the lifeline held in other people's hands."

Wang Yan replied with a smile, and then continued to devote himself to the design. He wanted to build three houses, one for themselves to live in, and two for the parents of both families to live in respectively...

Acquiring the Chinese medicine plantation company is imperative because their pillar is the Strengthening Pill made of a large amount of Chinese herbal medicine. The Chinese herbal medicine at the upstream of the industrial chain is the lifeline. The name 'China Long Teng Group' is awesome, and the products are even more awesome, but it can't stop others from killing them as pigs for such an industry that sells expensive and has a huge demand for raw materials."

The sinister nature of market economic activities lies in the fact that it can be a buyer's market, or it can become a seller's market through manipulation. The Chinese herbal medicine market itself is not bad, or to put it another way, industries related to the medical industry are not bad. The quality of the market environment has a certain impact on it, but it is not that huge. People always get sick, always go to the hospital, always drink medicine, this is a relatively stable money-making industry."

Of course, for technical industries such as medical devices, it may not be so good. After all, stents have been beaten from more than 100,000 to a few hundred yuan. Small-scale companies and enterprises cannot support it, but big companies still eat and drink well by relying on deeper accumulation and wider patent moats. As for the fact that the days of bottom-level medical representatives are not as good as before, what does that have to do with it?"

In fact, in the past period of time, the bulk purchase price of Chinese herbal medicine for Long Teng Health has been slowly increasing, which has led to an increase in the cost of Strengthening Pills. After years of research, the cost of mass-produced Strengthening Pills has been suppressed to less than 4,000, only 3,000 yuan. But the recently calculated production cost has exceeded 4,000. No need to think, this is treating me, Mr. Wang, as a leek."

Wang Yan certainly doesn't believe in any excuses or reasons. As long as he hasn't heard the news of large-scale reduction in medicinal materials, then the increased price is undoubtedly aimed at him. Seeing that he earns so much money, and the money scene is so beautiful, but he can't get his hands in, many people will be unhappy."

Acquiring the Chinese herbal medicine enterprise, although so many medicinal materials cannot be fully mastered, it can certainly solve part of the problem. At that time, whether it is signing a contract with the previous herbal farmers or taking out the complete plan he already has to cultivate new herbal farmers, it will be easy."

So even if there is no targeting, he will still choose to acquire the pharmaceutical company that mainly engages in Chinese herbal medicine planting. This is a normal development route. Anyone with a normal brain will choose this way. Controlling the upstream and downstream is the norm. If you can acquire, acquire; if you can't acquire, think of ways to buy shares, and then study holding shares. In short, you must hold it in your hands."

To a certain extent, this is the same truth as state management, which is what is often called being choked. If others have it, it's theirs; if you have it, it's yours."

Mr. Wang is purely a big pattern. He doesn't touch the downstream industry. The smart home products are all OEM by factories, produced according to scheduled orders. If he wants to open a factory to produce and manufacture by himself, he can just throw money to acquire the factory and add production lines, with no difficulty at all. It's just that he did it himself, not only doing it but also taking OEM, so with excellent quality and advanced production technology, it is easy to squeeze out peers."

In fact, just selling smart home products has already killed many peers. Although he sells expensive and asks for high prices, there are actually many brands that sell more expensive than him. In the past, everyone was about the same, but now the contrast is obvious, and peers with high asking prices and high moisture are very difficult. This point is regardless of domestic or foreign."

Conversely, Long Teng's reputation abroad is even greater. Because this enterprise from China actually dares to discriminate against them. It had been noisy for a while before, and there were diplomatic greetings, but the results didn't change. International friends visited Long Teng's official website mall, and the selling price three times that of the domestic one was still hanging brightly, without any change."

This press conference for Zhi Xiang Generation 2 and smart home still attracted many international friends to watch, otherwise there wouldn't be a considerable part of foreign orders."

There are many people who are ultimate fans of technology products. They are very happy to enjoy the convenience of technology. Especially there are a considerable number of people who like to DIY themselves and fully enjoy the fun of using their brains and hands."

In today's world, when it comes to artificial intelligence technology, just speaking of the market and not including various laboratories, Long Teng is the well-deserved number one. Compared with the various products that everyone is arguing about, it is more advanced. This is not what Long Teng said, but authoritative data released by institutions specifically for testing. It was tested from the performance of Zhi Xiang Generation 1 and Easy Translation."

Speaking of Easy Translation, after continuous iteration, this translation software is now quite powerful. Although there is no interaction, the convenience is not comparable to other old-brand translation software."

The function of translation software is of course translation, and other functions are useless. Easy Translation can translate most of the world's languages, as well as dialects, and it is accurate, faithful, and elegant. It can recognize pictures, can use voice, can translate papers and various manuscripts in full, and there are almost no errors."

In addition, it can also do translation while chatting. As long as you set the languages that need to be translated to each other, just put the mobile phone there, and the two sides of the conversation can naturally translate each other through the mobile phone without any additional operations. If necessary, it can also be used to answer the phone. As long as you agree to read the call content, you can translate the phone in real time, the content is displayed on the mobile phone, and if you reply, you just need to speak your mother tongue."

Another function is to obtain the permissions of computers and mobile phones. When browsing web pages, you can directly translate the text that needs to be translated, and the content is displayed under the selected text."

Just for the function of translation, Easy Translation has almost done the best. Developing to now, Easy Translation has come from behind and occupied a considerable part of the market, especially university students use it the most. After all, they have to consult literature, most of which are in English, or some people in enterprises use it more."

This is mainly due to the popularity of the previous wave of dialect translation. It became popular for a while. At that time, it was for fun, and later people who needed it found it easy to use, and it also passed on a good reputation."

But to be honest, Easy Translation can't make much money. The development team is Zhang Xu leading five or six people to work. The only two money-making businesses, one is advertising, app application opening screen advertising, and the advertising business of their own Zhi Xiang and smart home is also received, left hand to right hand, internal money to support staff and project expenses."

The other is free dialogue. The function of making phone calls needs to open a membership, which is not expensive, 9.9 a month. Currently, there are 600,000 paying users, and a considerable part of them are foreigners."

Relying on these two money-making businesses, it supplies the R&D and maintenance of Easy Translation, ensures the normal operation of the project, and also ensures the generous bonuses of the project team. This is considered the most relaxed position within Long Teng. It earns a lot, the work is free, 30 days a month, except for the normal two-day weekend, you can rest for an extra five or six days, which is very comfortable."

This is also because Wang Yan has no profit requirements for Easy Translation, otherwise just thinking about how to make money would make them bald. Yes, everyone knows that this kind of software has no space to make money, but the leader just requires it. Apart from silently scolding the leader, what can they do..."

Of course, they didn't slack off. Although the company's overall atmosphere is relaxed, the necessary rolling is indispensable. After all, it is a high-tech enterprise, technology is king, and their level cannot stagnate, otherwise there will be no second big-headed boss like Wang Yan. So they are constantly learning and exchanging technology."

This is what Wang Yan is happy to see. Even when he has nothing to do, he will find some technical documents and send them down, letting various departments understand them when they have nothing to do. Throughout the company, the atmosphere of technical learning and exchange is still very strong."

Everyone is making progress, busy and relaxed..."

Near West Lake in Lin'an, a young man wearing an olive-green short sleeve, khaki nine-point casual sports pants, stepping on a pair of black sports shoes, carrying a small bag on his chest, dragging a silver metal toolbox, walked on the bluestone road in the alley and stopped in front of an old-fashioned two-story residential house."

The young man took out his mobile phone and carefully checked the road administration number in blue letters on a white background on the wall. After confirming that it was correct, he walked in along the open gate."

"Hello, is anyone there? Long Teng Intelligence."

After the words fell, a man and a woman walked out from the corner. The young man looked at them and introduced: "We communicated on the phone before. I am the smart solution consultant of Long Teng Intelligence, Zhang Jianyu. Is it Mr. Liu?"

The man nodded, came over and shook hands: "Liu Yang."

Zhang Jianyu shook hands with him, looked at the space in the room and said: "The communication on the phone was not clear. Looking at your order, you ordered two sets of our Long Teng first-grade smart solutions?"

"Yes, we don't understand smart homes either. It's just that this house is a bit big. I thought that according to the two-bedroom and one-living room pattern of your promotional video, buying two sets should be enough, right?"

What a simple consumer reason. Zhang Jianyu smiled: "It's not calculated like that. It doesn't need so much. The plan includes Zhi Xiang, home cloud platform, these are all extra. Just use one Zhi Xiang, you just need to buy a few more speakers that receive sound. The home cloud platform doesn't need two either; just buy one with the highest configuration."

After explaining roughly, he opened the toolbox and said: "I'll take a look first, plan what you need, and I'll operate the extra ones and return them for you. Have you found a designer for renovating the house?"

"Found."

"Finished designing?"

"Not yet."

"Then tomorrow, our company will send a consultant in renovation, who will communicate with the designer you found about this aspect, and will also come over to communicate with the master when doing water and electricity, and can also come over later if needed."

Liu Yang was very surprised: "Your service is so complete?"

"Only Lin'an and within 100 kilometers of Lin'an can do it. Adding one person costs 500. If it exceeds 100 kilometers, it will be calculated according to the distance. Mainly, we have few people responsible for this piece, and many problems can be solved online. Like you, who are so generous, are still rare."

"Is that so? I see that your pre-order number is more than 3,000. Is that number fake?"

"True, but more than 600 sets are ordered by foreign users. If you want us to go over to guide the installation, it is not generally expensive. The rest are mostly normal house patterns, nothing more than the difference between two bedrooms and three bedrooms. Only a few dozen orders are similar to yours, which are considered big houses like villas."

Seeing Zhang Jianyu answering truthfully and looking easy to talk to, the young couple couldn't help but raise the thought of gossip. After all, Long Teng doesn't have much contact with outsiders, especially consumers like them who have nothing to do with it."

"Hey, isn't your Long Teng becoming a state-owned enterprise? I heard that your boss's relationship is particularly hard. Is it true?"

Zhang Jianyu thought about the company's development history and shook his head: "It should be fake. When our big boss started the business, the company was rented in the suburbs. Later, it moved to the city center. But he must be very capable. I heard that the Strengthening Pill was researched by the boss himself. He knows Chinese medicine. Before, he let our colleagues go to the hospital to see a doctor, and it turned out that he really found out the disease."

And the technology is particularly high. Like our smart home project team, all the intelligent modules were written by the big boss himself. You may not understand, it is very high, as high as Mount Everest."

As for how it became a state-owned enterprise, how can we workers know? But thinking about it, it is also because of the Strengthening Pill. It is too profitable and too important. The state may be for the purpose of protection, or it may be sent by our boss himself, pulling the tiger skin to make a banner, otherwise such a good thing, in the end, it is not known how it will be."

"That's true." The woman nodded in recognition, and then asked, "I see on the Internet that your company's benefits and treatment are super good. Is it true?"

"That's true. Look at my clothes and shoes, they are all issued by the company. There are clothes for all four seasons. The snacks in the company are also standard. There are subsidies for eating, drinking, living, and traveling, and the standard of subsidies is not low. The work is also relaxed. Like I came to your house today, I came after waking up. Uh... sorry, I specifically made an appointment for this time."

Mainly we have many holidays. After the task is completed, we can rest. I am developing sweeping robots in the smart project team. Originally, I was on vacation, but there are a lot of people to use recently, and people haven't been recruited yet, so I was asked to come over to fill the number. But don't worry, I am absolutely professional. A while ago, the house my family bought was being renovated. Our manager applied to the boss, and let us take the company's products at a discount. It was all arranged by me when I went home a while ago, otherwise I wouldn't be asked to come over to fill the number."

Zhang Jianyu explained and hurriedly changed the subject, "Our company's benefits are good, but there are actually many things. I don't know if you are clear, our company has a party branch, and the branch secretary is sent down from the central ministries and commissions. Although there is no administrative level, the actual significance is certainly not bad."

So there are many party activities in our company, respecting the old and helping the young, visiting veterans, comforting advanced comrades, learning the spirit, learning in the memorial halls and ruins of martyrs, etc. Even recently, I heard that it seems to be organizing to walk the Long March again. Our big boss is a member of the Iron Fist faction. If he says go, he must go. He also has to lead the team first. I don't know if this is true. To be honest, we are all looking forward to it. With more learning, our consciousness has also come up. And according to our company's style, it must be paid and subsidized."

In addition, our company's assessment of party members is very strict. It is definitely not like universities or other companies that deal with things. Our company has the authority to expel employees from the party, and has the authority to suggest expelling applicants from the party. That is not a joke, it goes with the file."

The man and the woman obviously didn't care about whether it was professional or not. The company is so awesome, even if it is not professional, it must be trying to solve the problem. Anyway, except for the expensive things, I haven't heard any negative news about Long Teng."

Especially Long Teng is very high-profile, implementing two pricing standards for Strengthening Pills at home and abroad, with obvious differences. Other products also have some upward floating to varying degrees. Anyway, for the same things, foreign ones are more expensive than domestic ones, and even Easy Translation members are sold for five US dollars abroad. This is true high-end, the attitude of big companies looking down on everything is displayed very clearly, love to buy or not, love to use or not."

Long Teng's conduct is still liked by a considerable number of people. Of course, most of them can't afford to support it."

It is also Zhang Jianyu who loves to share. What he shared is indeed no problem. After all, he is proud to work in Long Teng. This company can't find a second one even with a lantern. Now it is quite difficult for ordinary people to get in. Before, it was jokingly called an Internet nursing home. Now look again, those who laughed before are happy, and now they are crying so sadly."

This really satisfied the curiosity of Liu Yang's rich couple about Long Teng. When chatting with friends later, they have something to say..."

Wang Yan certainly doesn't know that his subordinates are bragging about the company outside. He continues his struggle in the real world, dealing with various problems under his hands, occasionally sorting out company affairs, carrying out structural adjustments, and constantly communicating with Suizhong."

His actions are efficient, Long Teng's actions are efficient, the state's actions are efficient, and the local government's actions are efficient. The collision of the two groups of people brought about the great difference in Suizhong."

Long Teng's land has been occupied, which is a total of more than 1,200 square kilometers of land including the several towns mentioned before, and 500 square kilometers of vacant land has been reserved in the surrounding area to facilitate Long Teng's expansion in the future. This is more than half of Suizhong's land. Of course, so much land is not just Suizhong County, but a large part belongs to Xingcheng."

The reason why the required land area is so large, compared to the three times more than the 500 or 600 square kilometers mentioned when reclaiming land from the sea, the main reason is the problem of architectural form."

Reclaiming land from the sea, the land is more precious than the buildings above, so the buildings are naturally dominated by high-rise buildings. But now it is on land. Before, Wang Yan set the tone that employees live 200 square meters per person. Compared with buildings that only occupy a few hundred square meters but can accommodate dozens of households, it naturally requires a larger land area."

And this time, the office building, or other facilities such as shopping malls, hotels, hospitals, etc., will not be very tall buildings. Because Wang Yan decided to adopt the previous ancient architectural style, the required area is naturally larger."

The land is circled, and the list of people to be relocated is also set. For the resettlement of these people, Wang Yan had explained before that Long Teng pays for building houses, whether it is a building or a new rural area, it is all possible."

This is not a multiple-choice question. The Suizhong and Xingcheng governments, who inexplicably welcomed Long Teng's settlement, very decisively chose the houses of new rural construction. How can a building be better than living in a small villa for each family?"

As for the location of the resettlement housing, it is also a problem that goes without saying. It must be tightly close to the Long Teng area. After all, Long Teng will be the absolute center in the future. Not to mention the county town, even the center of Huludao City is not as good as Long Teng District. The plan is out, what shopping malls, hospitals, hotels, fire protection, public security, government, airports, subways, etc., etc. Especially Wang Yan also expressed that he wants to study smart cities in Long Teng District, and this time the construction of the headquarters will be initially deployed."

The two governments have made up their minds that the county town will develop towards Long Teng in the future. The closer it is, the greater the benefit. Not to mention anything else, Long Teng is rich and powerful. It should be no problem to build a subway to facilitate the travel of the people, right? This is such a good thing."

On the other hand, the place where Long Teng District is located is a big village, more than ten kilometers away from Suizhong County, and fifty kilometers away from Xingcheng. The vast area in the middle is all villages and cultivated land. Compared with the Long Teng District, which may be the most developed and technological in the country, the gap is too obvious, the drop is too big, and it is not good-looking."

So, fitting Long Teng's architectural style, covering the nearby area with small villas, and rubbing against the supporting facilities such as shopping malls and hospitals built by the rich and powerful Long Teng, then this is the Northern Jiang Nan. You can also know that the money from tourism alone will not be earned less in the future."

No matter how you do it, in short, the central idea of the two governments is one: hug Long Teng's thigh tightly, and rub the benefits that Long Teng benefits employees to the local people, that is their greatest political achievement."

And this process is not far away. At present, many vacant lands have started construction. Several coastal fishery companies have been acquired and shut down by Long Teng throwing money to carry out land reclamation and landscaping work. The resettlement houses for relocated people have been zoned, and designers are discussing with them house by house what kind of houses they want in the future."

Although it is a new rural area, Wang Yan will not fool the people. He does not deny that unity is a kind of beauty, but undoubtedly, it has no soul of architecture. He instructed not to carry out standardization, but to let the buildings bloom, and while considering the harmonious beauty, try to express the beauty of architectural art as much as possible. Let's put it this way, in these two years, most construction companies in the country have to eat with Long Teng."

This is not one or two families, but involves more than 120,000 people and more than 30,000 households. The budget for relocated housing and cash compensation totals more than 100 billion, and Suizhong has to earn it for decades."

Of course, this is because of Wang Yan's comprehensive package. If the local government was allowed to pay for the land and then give it to Long Teng for free, it would certainly not reach this number."

However, Wang Yan doesn't care. Anyway, the state dares to lend, and he dares to spend. In fact, the initial headquarters construction budget was only more than 500 billion. After a plan, it has already rushed to trillions."

The state is very happy, very happy. Because with the Strengthening Pill there, even if it is a trillion, as long as it develops for four or five years, it will be paid back. Even if Wang Yan manages it in a mess and makes Long Teng District a mess, this trillion is not spent in vain. This is the money earned from enterprise production and operation, so just spend it."

And Wang Yan showed a strong sense of responsibility. Compared with those rich people who have various yachts, planes, and transfer assets, it is really a world of difference. The consumption of Wang Yan's couple is certainly luxurious compared to ordinary people, but compared to rich people, it can even be called shabby. The two of them just receive hundreds of thousands of wages from the company every month, and it is almost enough to spend tens of thousands a month. Wei Lan spends more, buying everything messy, but Wang Yan doesn't spend much money. Except for refueling, buying vegetables, and putting money into the card for his parents, there is almost no expenditure."

Wang Yan really has no expenditure. He cooks by himself in the real world, doesn't smoke, and rarely drinks, so he spends little. Wei Lan buys things for him, for both parents, and for the unborn child."

A few months ago, Wei Lan was still very luxurious, buying a lot of bags, watches, etc. Poor people suddenly got rich, which is understandable. Later, as work became busier and money became more, she got rid of low-level hobbies and started to follow Wang Yan to the stars and the sea..."

After the autumn harvest, Suizhong will become a big construction site. Because it freezes in November, there is not much time for construction after the autumn harvest, so there are fewer people used this year. Construction companies that have subcontracted work come over to find relocated families to work, estimated to be tens of thousands of people, digging holes, transporting building materials."

When spring comes next year, that is the real infrastructure speed, and the construction period is expected to be eight years. But it should be faster. Residential houses are easy to build, and the difficult ones are the office park, but that is not a very high skyscraper. There is indeed a certain architectural difficulty, but it is not as big as imagined. Wang Yan also has previous architectural experience..."

It is precisely in such busyness that, unknowingly, another month has passed, and the news of the living father always comes so punctually."

"Liu Laosan of 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms': Want to eat!"

What a familiar task, Wang Yan raised his eyebrows slightly. How long has it been since he was an emperor?"

He didn't remember, or rather didn't seriously calculate it. Anyway, it must have been a hundred years."

Although he had read the book, Wang Yan still found the classic TV series and watched it, reviewing the story again."

"Romance of the Three Kingdoms" mainly talks about... please Baidu..." ===== CHAPTER 824 =====
