Chapter 66 Happy and Sad

I haven't been here for a while, and I don't know when there is an extra lift gate at the door. Just as Yu Xiaolong's car stopped, a middle-aged man in security uniform poked his head out of the small sentry box and asked him for a pass.

"I'm looking for someone." Yu Xiaolong rolled down the window of the car, he probably thought he was coming to deliver the goods.

"Who are you looking for?" The security guard came out from inside, "Do you have an appointment?"

"Wang Haoyang." Yu Xiaolong said, "The appointment is over."

"Then you call him and I'll check."

"..."

Not the same.

I think back when he first came, there was an isolated building standing in all directions, no one was in charge of going in and out, the gate was desolate, and even the signboards were tattered. He asked if the screws inside were broken and no one could find someone to fix it. , just make do with it.

It has been rumored that the feng shui here is not good, so the price cannot be raised. Before Wang Haoyang and the others moved in, it had been vacant for almost four or five years.

It was the first time for Shi Jie to accompany him, thinking that he had joined some kind of MLM organization, he pulled Yu Xiaolong up and turned around to leave.

Wang Haoyang said that this was already considered a good idea. Thinking back to when he was a generation of pioneers, on the first day when he moved in, a homeless man was lying on the ground wrapped in a dirty blanket and asked him for relocation fees. .

Yu Xiaolong was silent for a while, probably because he was expressionless and not friendly enough, the security guard thought he was going to get angry, "I'm also following the rules, just put someone up there casually, I won't be good at dealing later, please understand."

"Understood, it should be." Yu Xiaolong called Wang Haoyang, and gave him the phone after he connected. The security guard personally heard Mr. Wang said to let him go, so he opened the gate and let him in, while instructing him that the social vehicles should go where to stop.

Yu Xiaolong went up to the third floor familiarly, and before entering Wang Haoyang's office, he knocked on the door and called out: "President Wang."

Wang Haoyang turned his head abruptly, and scolded with a smile: "You're making fun of me, right?"

Yu Xiaolong walked in.

"Didn't I issue you a work card?"

"I forgot to bring it."

"I forgot to bring it or I don't want to bring it. I said it as if you had brought it before. I really think I am a non-staff personnel."

"When did you do it?" Yu Xiaolong glanced downstairs, where he could just see the cars entering and leaving in an orderly manner.

"Just two days ago." Wang Haoyang said, "I remember I reminded you that our security here is going to be upgraded."

Yu Xiaolong nodded, "It's quite decent."

"Now we have everything that should be there, don't say we are just a leather bag company." Wang Haoyang smiled, "I'll accompany you down to brush your face in a while, look at you, it's been a long time, don't be a company I don’t even know where to move.”

Yu Xiaolong sat down on the sofa and put the revised fourth edition of the design drawings on the coffee table. He came here today mainly for this purpose, "Let's have a look."

Wang Haoyang took a look at it, and said that he would go to the product department to make a final confirmation, whether it can be done or not, "I found that your idea is becoming more and more unconstrained, and it is a test of people."

"Will Mr. Wang also be admitted?"

"The roles are reversed." Wang Haoyang put the manuscript in, called someone to get it, and pointed to Yu Xiaolong, "Don't leave for a while, there is something for you."

Wang Haoyang graduated from a formal design school and is now the design director of Changhang Airlines. He was also called the design director when he was a commander.

Changhang was founded by him and a rich friend of his son. It is said that he didn't think about anything at the time. With his love for hand-made models, the son paid for his work and went to the industrial and commercial register to register a company. .

Anyway, it's easy to register a company now. You don't need paid-in capital or anything, just write 500 million, and you can pay it until [-].

Yu Xiaolong has never experienced the difficult time of pioneering wasteland and clearing the stream in his mouth. When he came, Changhang was already a small scale. Although it still looked like a handicraft workshop from the outside, at least it had all the necessary personnel and machinery and equipment.

Although planning, design, modeling, engraving, painting and proofing, and even the promotion and after-sales of finished products are often performed by one person, all necessary links are matched, and rights and responsibilities are clearly defined, forming a self-contained system.

Just like what Wang Haoyang said, now even the guards are provided, and it is a complete company.

When he came here, it was a two-way choice with Changhang. Originally, Yu Xiaolong’s idea was to do it by himself, to open a Taobao store or something. Because he often posted some production videos, he was somewhat popular in this small circle.

Moreover, since the media has developed rapidly in the past two years, it should not be a problem to set up a live broadcast to attract the same fans, but the only obstacle is that he needs equipment, and handmade products are really time-consuming and labor-intensive.

The small place is not as well-developed as N City, and there is no dedicated studio like the one he went to before. With the little money he saved in his hand, let alone opening a business, it is difficult to buy a better live broadcast equipment.

He wrote a few posts on the forum, all of which were dry stuff. Wang Haoyang wandered around in it every day, found him by chance, and asked him to talk to him a few times offline.

Let’s not say how high the opening conditions are, at least the cakes are very round and plump.

This is Yu Xiaolong's first formal job. He considered it for two days and agreed, but the conditions were clearly written in the contract. He can work part-time after sales, but he doesn't work, doesn't clock in every day, listens to the call but not to the announcement, as long as he hand in homework on time.

Wang Haoyang was also straightforward, and basically agreed to all the requests. The boat model is definitely a master in the circle with Yu Xiaolong's level. He is willing to be kidnapped by him. He is embarrassed to say that it is because this ghost house is close to his home. for the sake.

The Taobao store can’t be opened, it’s a matter of principle, but the live broadcast can’t be controlled, just put on the logo of CSC.

Yu Xiaolong wasn't in the mood for any kind of live broadcast at first, so if he thought about it casually, it would be fine if he could help him attract some popularity and sell the things. Now that the deed of sale has been signed and there is no such thing in it, he naturally won't hold his own head to start the business.

At the beginning, the young master was just making fresh pictures, purely for fun, as long as you pay some money, someone will design and make any kind of model, but it’s been two years since it’s fresh, and I’m tired of it. Now Changhang is mainly in charge of Wang Haoyang. .

Yu Xiaolong later opened a Taobao store, but he didn’t sell anything, he only repaired it. Model boats entered the Chinese market relatively early. The rich ones grew up playing with them from childhood, and now they throw away the broken ones, no matter how well maintained they are. Vicissitudes are inevitable.

Brother Gongzi once repaired a broken one for him, and Yu Xiaolong came up with the idea of ​​opening a repair shop.

Taking advantage of his popularity in the forum before, a few orders came in when the store just opened. This kind of thing is willing to be repaired. It must be a treasure. In addition, it is time-consuming and labor-intensive to repair. Naturally not low.

In the past two years, everything is still in its infancy. In addition to the fixed hull model orders, Changhang has received several new game peripherals in the first half of the year. The degree of popularity is different. However, it is said that the losses of the previous two years have been made up. With a surplus, Wang Haoyang hurriedly recruited a few more people and purchased a few imported machines that he had been coveting for a long time. Yu Xiaolong, as one of the few design plus production plus... multi-functional main creators, has improved a lot in terms of remuneration .

In addition to handing over the blueprints, I heard that there is also a big client who wants to meet and do conceptual design for a battleship in a certain film and television work.

Let’s not talk about the actual participation. First of all, the opportunity is once in a thousand years. Being able to find them here shows a certain degree of recognition. A famous player like Yu Xiaolong is naturally invited to accompany him.

Review of the development process, sample display, studio visit, and the standard process led through it first. It is because he has been busy making up for losses in the past few years and has participated in few serious competitions. When talking about this, Wang Haoyang did not show any emotion.

Recently, he intentionally asked Yu Xiaolong to take out his works, no matter what kind of prize he won, he would come back first. Most of them are laymen in this field.

The person in charge of the other party was surnamed Wang, and Wang Haoyang called him Mr. Wang, and Yu Xiaolong followed suit. He had a kind face, and he was easy-going when he looked at him. .

When he was about to leave at the end, Yu Xiaolong was relieved when he said that he would ask Meizhi to send over the request tomorrow, and to publish a trial draft first.

He and Wang Haoyang sent people to the door. Before leaving, Mr. Wang glanced at him suddenly, and asked how tall he was with a smile. He was short and fat, not to mention Yu Xiaolong, and he had to look up when talking to Wang Haoyang.

"1.8 meters five." Yu Xiaolong said.

"Are you 1.8 meters five?" Wang Haoyang glanced at the top of his head, as if he didn't believe it, and stood a little closer to compare with himself, then sighed, "No wonder you are so tall."

Does he have 1.8 meters five?

When Wang Haoyang asked this casually, Yu Xiaolong was stunned for a moment. He had never measured it, but the number [-] had formed a kind of conditioned reflex memory deep-rooted in his mind since he did not know when.

"Young people nowadays are generally tall. Don't look at me like this. My son is also 1.8 meters zero." Mr. Wang smiled and patted Yu Xiaolong's shoulder, "Young man is not bad, young and promising."

If this order continues, the blueprints will need to be polished, the body stage will need to be ground, the project is huge, I don’t know how many months it will take, and it’s impossible to stay at home. Wang Haoyang is very considerate and personally leads Yu Xiaolong to take photos with the security guards downstairs. face.

When he came out of the company, it was almost dark. Shi Jie sent him a dozen messages on WeChat, reminding him not to forget that today is Friday. On the day Zhao Fei came back, he cooked a lot of dishes, so he must remember to go early back.

Yu Xiaolong said hello, Shi Jie on the other side probably lost his temper, he was typing for a long time, but nothing came out, he didn't know whether to scold him, or to understand that he is young and hard to earn money and shit.

Yu Xiaolong went to the parking space to pick up the car. Shi Jie bought a second-hand Jinbei for less than 1 yuan for the convenience of buying. He has already driven 18 kilometers, and the car would turn off at every traffic light.

The end of life is imminent, and now it can be counted as a day. In Shi Jie's words, every turn of the wheel is profitable.

The bar officially opened at the end of the year before last, and it has been open until now. With Luo Shaoqin as the general staff, and Shi Jie himself who has been rampant in this street for so many years, the bosses of several companies have come to support them, and the operation is not bad.

We lost a little last year, but this year we are about to break even.

It’s interesting to say that when the deal was made, there wasn’t enough money, so I asked Uncle Yin to borrow some, and Luo Shaoqin also bought a share, so he managed to make up enough money. Later, he was injured, and Xia Cong’s card was not used up, Shi Jie wanted to pay it back. Yu Xiaolong didn't give in.

He asked him to keep it, the injury that was almost unrecoverable, just look at them so little?

In case there are sequelae, don't you need to use money for the annual inspection in the future? The Xia family owes him in the first place, so he doesn't have to feel uneasy about holding this money.

Shi Jie thought about it for this reason, he almost lost his life, what's wrong with charging you some nutrition, so he used the remaining money on that card to pay back Uncle Yin's money, which is like redeeming himself. You don't have to work hard for him anymore.

But he is also restless, if there is any illegal activity in the bar street, and the new recruits of Uncle Yin can't handle it, he is obliged to take it.

After all, it was Uncle Yin who gave them a bowl of food back then, and he always remembered this favor.

Yu Xiaolong and Zhao Fei stopped him from going. Since he was injured, he didn't know what went wrong in the past two years. He coughed every now and then. He coughed endlessly. He went to the hospital many times, but he couldn't find out. Sick.

Shi Jie was still in the mood to make a joke, saying that the stabbing probably caused a gas leak. Yu Xiaolong went around looking for folk remedies for him to boil traditional Chinese medicine, but it still didn't work. Shi Jie told him not to worry about it in vain. No problem.

He had a good life in the past two years, and he didn't take this trivial matter to heart at all. With a way out, Zhao Fei didn't leave, and now he is with him. Although no one said anything, everyone acquiesced , this will do the trick.

"Remember that winter, when you drank too much, I carried you back, and it was so cold that I couldn't hold you..." Shi Jie drank a little too much at night, and began to talk more, but when he was not much He often chatters with Yu Xiaolong.

"Okay, what time is it, take a shower and go to bed." Zhao Fei kicked his stool while tidying up the dishes.

"... At that time, I really had nothing but strength." Shi Jie got up obediently, but he didn't stop talking, "But look now, he has everything, no matter what... looking ahead..."

"Don't look forward, look at your feet first." Yu Xiaolong helped him upstairs.

Shi Jie took two steps to pant for a while, this winter was colder than that time when he carried him back, and he coughed more frequently than before, "Life is still so long, anything can happen... How can you live like this, yes wrong?"

"Yes, Boss Shi, you are right." Yu Xiaolong perfunctory him, Shi Jie can drink, but sometimes he gets drunk easily when he is happy or sad, Yu Xiaolong doesn't know if he got drunk so fast this time, whether he is happy or sad .

Yesterday, the day before yesterday, and these days, nothing special happened.

It should be said that except for the opening of his bar, except that he got a serious job, and Zhao Fei made it clear that he would stay... In the past two years, there is nothing that Yu Xiaolong can be too happy about.

Also, there was nothing to be too upset about.
