Chapter 48 My Hands Are Itchy

Chapter 48 My Hands Are Itchy

Shaking off his chaotic thoughts, Xu Mingyuan picked up the newspaper and began to flip through it.

"Don't look around if you don't want to buy anything."

Seeing that the person reading the newspaper was a student in school uniform, the small window was opened, and the boss inside shouted and quickly closed it, continuing to bask in the sun.

Xu Mingyuan came to his senses, threw down two dollars, picked up three newspapers and left.

Although the average salary these days is only around 1,000 yuan, there is no shortage of people with good conditions in any era.

When the weather gets cold, many students take taxis to No. 9 Middle School, so it is not difficult to stop a taxi.

After getting in the car, Xu Mingyuan looked at the news that filled the entire page: Insolvent? Xiangli Pharmaceutical had a huge deficit and was unable to pay off the debt for raw materials. Who would be responsible for the farmers' losses?
The article introduces the general information of Xiangli Pharmaceutical, from its transformation into a private enterprise in the late 1980s, to which drugs it makes profitable, its production capacity, and even which sales channels it uses to connect with hospitals.

These were not written by Xu Mingyuan at all, and he didn't know anything about them at all.

The document he wrote was about how to acquire the companies under the name of Xiangli Group in a foolproof way.

Xu Mingyuan was not arrogant enough to think that what he wrote would be believable. Instead, he wanted to muddy the waters first and let the participants fall into a chain of suspicion so as to take action as soon as possible.

Although he guessed that they would not miss this rare opportunity, the speed was really too fast and exceeded Xu Mingyuan's expectations.

Xu Mingyuan asked Li Yunfeng to send the package by express delivery. According to the current postal speed, it would take at least two days for the first package to be signed for.

It's not even a week yet and someone is already eager to take action?

Xu Mingyuan carefully recalled what he had said while having dinner and chatting with these people, and remembered some details that he didn't care about.

When Xiangli Group was split up for the first time, it was finally stopped by the local authorities.

Xiangli Group has four to five thousand regular employees, and there are countless people who depend on it for their livelihoods. For the sake of their livelihood and stability, the split was terminated halfway through.

Why is it so fast this time?

As Xu Mingyuan pondered, his vision gradually became clearer.

Because Duan Jianhe has just been in Nanxi City for less than a year.

No matter what, this matter will definitely be stopped by the local authorities when it reaches a certain extent.

This was something that was bound to happen in his memory, but Xu Mingyuan did not consider it.

His plan was to give out all the plans, and as long as Xiangli Group was unable to respond in time, it would eventually have to compromise with everyone, gradually eroding its assets, and gradually selling its high-quality assets, and finally disappear completely in Nanxi City.

And things that Xu Mingyuan has not considered, others will definitely take them into consideration.

For the participants, the slower the local actions, the more well-fed they are and the less worries they have.

Xu Mingyuan looked at the upper left corner of the newspaper again. The newspaper publisher was Haizhou Evening News.

Not only Haizhou Evening News, but Jiangcheng Daily also published this news. However, the local newspaper in Nanxi City did not publish it.

Nanxi's local newspapers are subscribed by various units, and not many people read them, as almost half of them are advertisements.

The meaning of release is simple and clear.

Without any hesitation, the attack was a killing move.

Xu Mingyuan guessed who it was.

Lu Zongxing.

The CEO of Skyworth Co., Ltd.

He was accused of speculation in the early 1980s, but was not held accountable after the reforms. He also made a name for himself with his daring and enterprising style.

Although he is not very famous, he has invested in many companies, covering traditional industries such as hotels, medicine, and clothing, and has extensive connections.

Xu Mingyuan remembered that during the Internet era, he also wanted to enter the media industry, and it was through a subsidiary unit registered by this newspaper that he should have had connections long ago.

But by then, websites like Tudou and Youku had already been competing fiercely with each other, but he still focused on traditional media, believing that the public would still read the news.

After all, the Internet is the era of young people. It is conceivable that the money invested will be lost without even making any waves.

Xu Mingyuan had to admit that the entrepreneurs who made it in the 1980s and 1990s were really unscrupulous and used any means necessary. It made sense that he was still limited by the times.

In 03, the emergence of emerging enterprises such as the Internet and electronics overshadowed the traditional industries.

But these companies all grew up in chaos, and nothing has changed just because they have moved from the last century to the new century; everything remains the same.

Xu Mingyuan had visited Lu Zongxing several times and saw that he was a fat old man with a lively look.

Although we have had a lot of contact, we are not of the same generation after all, so we don’t have many common topics and our understanding of each other is not very deep.

On the contrary, his son had a lot of contact with Xu Mingyuan, and they often played cards, drank tea and chatted.

But Lu Zongxing, who was born in the 03s, was still in his prime in and his ambitions were as strong as ever.

Xu Mingyuan was wrong, he thought the first participants were the brothers Zhang Chenghua and Zhang Chengjie. These two brothers had the deepest hatred with the Chen brothers, and it was also an old story from the last century.

But I didn’t expect that the first person to jump out was Lu Zongxing. However, it is not difficult to understand, as this person deserves the title of a gambler.

Xu Mingyuan has also communicated with this group of people who came out of the reform and opening up, and they are definitely the most unprincipled group of people.

Use useful things right away, and discard useless things decisively. If you find they are still useful later, pick them up again and continue using them.

Today we saw how ruthless and swift Lu Zongxing was, and it also served as a reminder to Xu Mingyuan.

"My dear classmates, hey! We have arrived at No. 3 Middle School. If you don't get into the school gate now, you will be late."

"Oh, well, no need to look for it."

Xu Mingyuan put away the newspaper, threw down ten yuan, and trotted towards the school gate.

When we arrived at the classroom door, all the classmates were sitting in their seats, and Gao Dexiang was already sitting at the podium grading papers.

Xu Mingyuan looked at his watch. There were still a few minutes left before morning self-study, but since he was a senior in high school, he had to make the most of every minute and every second.

"Report."

"Come in sooner next time."

Gao Dexiang did not make things difficult for Xu Mingyuan. It turned out that the boy always entered the classroom on time. He was only late once this semester, which was already very good.

As Xu Mingyuan was walking towards his seat, he saw Tao Shuxin's head moving like a tracker, following his steps.

Seeing her unfriendly expression and questioning eyes, Xu Mingyuan imitated her, snorted, and then rolled his eyes.

This made Tao Shuxin very angry, not because Xu Mingyuan came late, but because he imitated the role play very vividly, making Tang Lin laugh so hard.

When class was about to start, Tao Shuxin turned her head and glared at him, then slapped a small note on his desk.

Just one sentence: Why are you late today?

You are really nosy.

Xu Mingyuan was surprised, then he picked up a pen and wrote a sentence, crumpled the paper into a ball, and then raised his hand to aim.

Tao Shuxin felt something falling from his collar into his chest. He turned his head suspiciously and saw Xu Mingyuan laughing dryly.

Naturally, he understood that he had done a good thing. Tao Shuxin bent down and secretly rummaged for a while before taking out the small paper ball from his clothes.

When I smoothed it out and unfolded it, I saw a line of words written on it in a very smooth and graceful handwriting: The teacher doesn't allow passing notes.

Wow……

Tao Shuxin took a deep breath and exhaled slowly until his lungs were full.

Can't be angry, can't be angry.

Tao Shuxin repeated these words silently in his heart.

Tao Shuxin originally thought that it was no big deal after moving from being Xu Mingyuan's deskmate to the front row. It was only a few dozen centimeters away, and she could see it when she turned around.

But now Tao Shuxin regrets it. If they were still deskmates now, she could have pinched the person herself.

Ouch, I’m so angry and my hands are itchy!
