The Hope You Gave Me: 45-Bumblebee

Without working overtime for three consecutive nights, Min Hui was finally revived. She remembered that when Su Quan was hospitalized, Xin Qi asked her to repair the broken watch, and she promised to repair it, but she never did it. Now the time is loose, and Su Quan, like her, is also a "disassembler", so the mother and son spent two nights, using a set of screwdrivers for watches, opened the watch, exposed the movement, and replaced the inside The parts are disassembled one by one.

I thought it was a simple matter, but I didn't expect that this seemingly ordinary watch could not be put back after taking it apart. Min Hui disassembled and reassembled, installed and disassembled, and in the end, there was always one or two parts that could not be inserted. I wanted to return the repaired watch to Xin Qi while I went to Beijing for a meeting, but it seemed that it was too late, so I had to temporarily put all the parts in a shoe box.

Going home the next day, Min Hui pulled out the shoe box and wanted to continue assembling, but she was dumbfounded.

Probably thinking that her mother was abandoned, Su Quan found a large mass of yellow plasticine and a thin wire from somewhere, and screwed the parts on the watch together to make a deformation "Bumblebee" in King Kong.

Although it looks weird, from a distance, the playful expressions are all there, and it is quite similar.

Min Hui was so angry that she yelled at her son, "Quanquan, Mom said, Dad's watch can't be moved! Look at you, if it's like this, Mom can't put it back. La!"

It was the first time that Su Quan had been reprimanded by his mother since he was ill. He was so loud that he immediately burst into tears.

Afraid that his crying would damage his body, Min Hui had to hold him in her arms and said softly, "Don't cry at all, next time you can't do this. Go to your own room to play for a while, and mom will take a look."

Finally coaxing her son to quiet down, Min Hui returned to the study, took the "Bumblebee" in her hand, and looked at it carefully for five minutes, feeling a burst of despair in her heart. The parts of this watch are small and delicate, with many pores, it is extremely difficult to remove after being wrapped in plasticine, and it is not easy to clean. After playing for such a small child for an afternoon, and cleaning by the nanny in the middle, I am not sure that all the parts are there, and it is impossible to put it back. It is better to buy a new one and return it to Xin Qi.

After checking the Internet, I couldn't help but "Ow" again: This is not amazing in appearance, but the price is amazing - the limited edition of Baobo Zodiac, the price is more than 600,000, Xin Qi said that it is not expensive, it is simply a small The apartment was worn on the hand.

You can't afford to buy it, so leave it to a professional to fix it, and there may be hope. Min Hui hurriedly called the watch shop to explain the situation. When the clerk heard that it had been made like this, she also said that it could not be repaired. The usual tourbillon watch has more than 200 parts, but this watch has 464 parts. There are also thirty-nine gems inlaid, and she suggested that she take it to the Baobo boutiques in Beijing and Shanghai to try her luck.

Put down the phone, Min Hui rummaged through the box, found a small medical camera, and was about to dig out the parts from the plasticine bit by bit, when the phone rang, and Xin Qi's video request appeared.

"What's wrong with Quanquan? I'm crying alone in the bedroom." Xin Qi asked.

Min Hui hurriedly walked to the bedroom and saw Su Quan sitting on the bed, hugging the pillow, covering her eyes with her hands, sobbing and shrugging her small shoulders.

Min Hui had to pick up Quanquan and said to the phone, "I'm repairing your watch. I forgot to tell me when I went out in the morning. When I came back, I found that he had messed up the parts of the watch without authorization, and made it out of plasticine. A Transformer."

Then put "Bumblebee" in front of the camera: "Well, this is his masterpiece."

"Wow——" On the video, Xin Qi exclaimed, "My son is a genius!"

Min Hui looked at the sky: "..."

Feeling that her mother was complaining, and found that her father was supporting her, Quan Quan immediately fought back with a crying voice: "Woo woo woo, Dad, it's my mother... Stupid, my mother pretended several times, but she couldn't pretend, she said. It's useless if you don't install it well... woo woo..."

"That's right!" Xin Qi said with a smile, "Anyway, the watch is broken. It's a pity to throw it away. It's better to turn into a bumblebee and put it on the table as a display. How wonderful."

"That's it!"

"Then tell your mother that the bumblebee is wanted by father, and mother is not allowed to dismantle it, okay?"

Min Hui stared at Xin Qi: "What—?"

Su Quan took out a cartoon watch from his pocket: "Dad, your watch is broken, but mine is not broken. I will give you this one."

This children's watch was bought by Min Hui at the airport when she was on a business trip. Su Quan liked it very much because there was an Optimus Prime in the middle, and she had to carry it with her every day when she went to kindergarten. Once snatched away by a curious child, the two even had a fight.

"This piece of yours..." Min Hui thought, that's thirty dollars.

"Okay, next time Dad comes back, remember to give it to me."

"Dad I miss you!" Su Quan's face finally showed a smile, although there was still a teardrop on his eyelashes.

"Dad misses you too. Sorry, I have a meeting soon, see you later."

The video is broken.

At nine o'clock at night, Su Quan had just fallen asleep when Xin Qi's voice came from the ceiling: "Is he asleep?"

"I fell asleep." Min Hui held "Bumblebee" in her hand and opened the video, "Do you really want this? I packed a large box of plasticine dolls that Su Quan squeezed, and you can choose whatever you want next time you come back. Just take a few pieces away."

"I want this."

"Why?"

"Put it on the table to remind myself, um, there are still one or two things in the world that Min Huixiu is not good at."

“…”

"There is a specialization in the surgery industry, so it's good to know your own limits." She could only laugh at herself.

She saw Xin Qi wearing a nightgown, reclining on the sofa in the living room, holding a palm-sized instrument in his hand.

"What are you doing?" She could hear the tiredness in his voice.

“Measure INR.”

Xin Qi's heart uses a mechanical valve. Although durable, the valve is prone to blood clots and requires lifelong use of an oral anticoagulant called warfarin. And the dose must be carefully measured, otherwise complications will occur. Too high a dose can cause gastrointestinal or even intracranial hemorrhage, and too low a dose can cause unexpected sudden death from a thrombus stuck in the valve. Xin Qi must be taken every day, in addition to frequent follow-up and blood tests to ensure that the INR value is within a safe range, otherwise the dose needs to be adjusted. In addition, warfarin also interacts with many foods and drugs, thereby affecting its efficacy and safety. Coriander, celery, chives, amaranth and spinach should not be eaten too much. Taking a few more bites will lead to a decrease in the efficacy of the medicine. If you take traditional Chinese medicine at the same time, it will cause more trouble. Therefore, Xin Qi will carry a portable INR coagulation tester with him, and measure the value of INR by drawing blood from his fingertips.

"Is it normal?"

"Fine."

I don't know if it was because of the poor effect of the video or the illusion of light. His face was pale and his state was a little sluggish.

"Rest early." Min Hui said softly, "Good night."

“Wait, take a picture of my son’s bumblebee and send it to me.”

"Pull it down—"

"I'm serious. You say all have this talent. What would you learn in the future? How about industrial design?"

"Industrial Design? Can this get a job?"

"If he has a RISD diploma, sure."

"RISD?"

"The Rhode Island School of Design is very famous for industrial design. I have a high school classmate who graduated from there. I haven't contacted him for a long time. Well, I have to see a chance to chat with him."

"It's still early, my son is still young."

"It has to be arranged now, in case I die prematurely."

"Bah, bah, don't say anything unlucky." Min Hui quickly changed the subject, "There's something I've always wanted to ask you. If you don't think it's appropriate, you don't have to answer me."

"It's long-winded, just ask if you have anything."

"Are you and Cheng Qirang... familiar? I think he calls you Ethan."

"We met in business. We've been discussing some cooperation recently, but there's been no real progress." Xin Qi said lightly.

Cheng Qirang has worked in Guanchao for more than 20 years. He is known for his pragmatism and stability in the business circle. He dares to think and act at critical moments. With the blessing of his father-in-law, he has a lot of believers in the industry.

"Don't cooperate with him, he is not trustworthy." Min Hui said, "As a past person, I have to remind you again and again."

Her tone was sincere, but Xin Qi immediately listened crookedly and began to sneer: "In business, I don't need to follow your advice. You want me to be careful? Not long ago you were in front of me— "

"—That's because I have something to ask him, and this is the condition he put forward." Min Hui hurriedly interrupted, "His father Cheng Guangyi is the best child expert in Bincheng, and one of the best in the country. Su Quan's He did the surgery."

"If you had told me about this son sooner, I would have taken him to Cleveland Clinic, where the world's best cardiac surgeons operate, and where Arab princes operate. You don't have to be so low-key and beg."

"..." Min Hui regretted bringing this up, obviously looking for scolding.

"You know I live in the United States, and you know I'm not poor. I have a way to ask a better doctor to operate on him. Why didn't you tell me earlier? You have to hide it from me for four years and risk your son's life. Is this tone worth it?"

"It's not worth it. I was wrong." Seeing that his temper was getting worse and his face was getting paler, Min Hui quickly gave in, "It was a serious mistake."

"Just know!"

"My grievance with Cheng Qirang has nothing to do with you, and I don't want to involve you. The reason I remind you is that he may come to deal with you in order to deal with me. I don't want to burn this fire on you. ."

"I don't have any business or money dealings with him at the moment, and if I don't want it, I'm just being tough. How can he deal with me?"

"Not sure. He just told me to tell you, BackOff."

"Whattheheck?" Xin Qi sneered, "How dare he tell you that?"

"I don't know how he found out about your relationship with me. His father has many acquaintances in Binda Hospital... Maybe you should keep a low profile in the future."

"What's wrong with me?"

"For example, if you're not married yet, don't go around claiming that you're Su Quan's biological father. This can easily lead to misunderstandings and make people speculate that you and I...have had an unusual relationship."

“What is the relationship between you and me—Min Hui—you define it.” Seeing Xin Qi getting angry again.

"You and I have nothing to do with each other, this is my understanding." Min Hui scratched her head, "I gave birth to your son by accident."

"You gave birth to my son in a state of deception!"

"That's right, that's it. I have reminded me of everything that should have been reminded." At this moment, Min Hui just wanted to run away, "Good night."

Before he could answer, she hung up the video.

***

Before going to Beijing, Cao Mu told Min Hui that after communication, Yan Chengli, Xu Guangjian, and He Haixiang all agreed to join the management team, so the five held a meeting to formulate plans, assign tasks, and find investments.

"Mr. Xu and I went to two private equity firms, two venture capitals, and one bank, and they all expressed interest." Cao Mu said, "But the investment quota of each is not very high, so three are needed. Only the joint investment of the left and right is possible to win.”

“Private equity firms need to be carefully screened, those who are eager to pursue commercial returns should not.” Yan Chengli reminded, “Bai’an is still in the research and development stage, and can’t make much money. If it is forced by capital to go commercial. The road may be miserable."

He Haixiang nodded: "Although I don't know the specific plans of the headquarters in the negotiation and what price it will ask for. As far as I know, Bai'an's valuation should be around 80 to 100 million. If we If you can get 120 million, you should be able to win it." He paused, then said, "Of course, the more money, the more insurance."

120 million? Min Hui has no concept of the amount of money. Compared with similar companies, 120 million is a relatively high valuation.

Maybe it's because of the GS1.0, she guesses silently.

"Who will negotiate on our behalf?" He Haixiang asked again, "We can't negotiate on our own, right?"

"I have contacted three intermediaries, namely Anwar, Purin, and AAR. At present, AAR is locked. They can provide one-stop service and are negotiating agency fees." Cao Mu said, "AAR has a good reputation and strength. , also have a position in the industry. Ask them to represent us. First, we have more experience, and secondly, the headquarters will look at us differently. Otherwise, we may be brushed off in the first round.”

"Is there experience, and the agency fee is high?" Yan Chengli asked.

"2% of the sale price."

"Too high!" Xu Guangjian shook his head repeatedly.

"I try to talk about 1.5%."

"If it is 120 million, the management team needs to provide 10% of the acquisition funds as the basis for the new company's equity. That is 12 million, divided among five people, and one person is 2.4 million." Cao Mu said, "This amount of money is not low, can you get it? Is there a problem?"

2.4 million!

Min Hui gasped in her heart. She naively thought that in the acquisition of the management team, as long as she participated technically, she did not expect to pay for it, and it was so much money.

"I'm fine," Xu Guangjian said.

"I can too." Yan Chengli said.

"I can donate 2 million by myself and borrow the remaining 400,000 from relatives," said Cao Mu, "It's not a big problem."

Min Hui glanced at Cao Mu and thought that ten days had passed. Obviously, Yin Xu hadn't confessed to her yet, otherwise she wouldn't be so excited, and in just a few days many things. Yin Xu's family is rich, and his ancestors have several old houses in the most expensive areas in the city center. The area is not small. Currently, he lives by collecting rent, and if he sells any one, he will get seven or eight million in return.

"I have to go back and discuss it with my wife." He Haixiang coughed and smiled awkwardly, "I'm afraid I will have to mortgage the property."

Everyone looked at him suspiciously. He Haixiang had always been intimidated and wondered how he would convince this powerful wife.

"What about you, Min Hui?" Cao Mu asked when Min Hui didn't say a word for a long time.

"Me? I..." Min Hui said with a blushing face, "I can't come up with so much money for the time being, but I will actively try to find a way."

"If the financing has been negotiated, the money will be available before the first round of bidding starts. Please find a way to implement it as soon as possible."

Everyone, you look at me, and I look at you, all feel a little heavy. It's one thing to be ambitious, it's another to shell out money.

2.4 million is a lot of money for the average working class, and some of them are all their belongings. In the event of a bad business, the money will disappear as quickly as it has been wiped out.

"What if I really can't get the money?" Min Hui began to worry.

"Then we have to quit, and we'll find another person to fill in." Cao Mu said, "If we can't think of a way at all, let us know as soon as possible. We can also make plans for the next step."

"Okay." Min Hui nodded, but her heart was full of worries, 2.4 million, how to get it?
