Chapter 117 "Saltpetre and Merchant" Part [-]

2017 6 Month 3 Day.

My name is Lu Qiao, a junior student at Peking University.

I studied marketing at Peking University, which is relatively well-known.

But now, there should be no hope of graduation.

Of course it's not because of poor grades. Those who can go to Peking University will have poor grades.

My grades are very good, and I have been in the top three of my grade since childhood.

It all starts with my dad. Have you seen your son cheating on his father too many times?

How many fathers can cheat on their sons?
My father's surname is Lu, and he has a single name.

When I was a child, I mostly relied on him for food and clothing.

You may have never heard of Lumao Automobile.

Roadcat Motors was established in 2006 and is a Chinese automobile brand.It mainly produces minibuses, SUVs and family cars.As of the end of June 2008, cumulative production and sales had reached 6 million vehicles.

Yes, our family was very prosperous at that time.

. . . . . .

But none of this could stop my dad from falling in love with gambling.

Before 08, my dad was an honest man and ran the car factory diligently.

In exchange for excellent workmanship, the company has become one of the top fifteen automobiles in China in just two years since its establishment. It is also on the rise and is almost a dark horse in the business world.

But I don’t know which bastard took my dad to Macau once.

Since then, it has been out of control.

After that, my dad became a frequent visitor to Macau casinos and went to Macau almost every week.

I don’t know what he plays, but my parents started quarreling almost every day.

But when the quarrel got fierce, how could my mother be my father's opponent?My mother endured domestic violence for a year and finally couldn't stand it anymore.

In 09, my mother found newspapers and media to publicize this incident, and my father's reputation was affected to a certain extent.But the father was so powerful that he suddenly found the media and changed the matter to the mother's cheating.

Both parties filed for divorce, but because I was still underage in elementary school at the time.

When the custody was determined, my father bribed the judge and some of the jury.

No matter how much evidence my mother took and how many family cards she played, the news reports almost always pointed to her cheating on her.

But there is almost no doubt about the final result. The judge awarded my custody rights to my father.

And that night, my mother couldn't stand the public opinion of the media and news and jumped off the building and passed away.

I didn't participate in the custody case when the court decided it, and everything that happened later was found out from my grandma's mouth.

Since then, I have resented my father, but I have always dared not speak out.

In 09, Lumao was at its most glorious, but those who know the industry know that Lumao has long ceased to exist in name only after that case.

Back then, I was almost entirely entrusted to various teachers and cram school classes at school, and I would only go to my grandma’s house on weekends.

And even though I was sentenced to dad, I almost never saw him after junior high school.

Later, when I took the college entrance examination, my grandma wanted me to apply for marketing.

I hope I can learn something to save my father's company. Grandma just knows that my father's company is getting worse and worse.

But grandma didn’t know the reason, and I didn’t dare to tell him the truth.

Lumao Automobile Company was almost completely wiped out by my father, but because of its reputation, it borrowed money everywhere to repay its debts.The method of tearing down the east wall to repair the west wall actually allowed my father to survive and run the company.

09年最辉煌的时候路猫汽车全年销量还有22.05万辆，随后一路下跌到2014年仅剩2.14万辆。当然这些从来没有让沉迷赌博的爸爸回心转意，随后的几年里爸爸陆陆续续变卖了十七件工厂和九间路猫汽车4S专营店。

By 16, only two 4S franchise stores and one production factory remained.

After 16, Luma Motors transferred 2016% of its production lines to Changan Ford for OEM production. In 1971, Lumao Motors' annual sales dropped to [-] vehicles.

At the beginning of 17, it was three days ago.

Dad found me on the phone.

When he stood at the school gate and waved to me, three fingers were missing from his right hand.

In the cafe outside the school, two cups of coffee are placed on the table.

I said calmly: "What's wrong with your hand?"

Dad smiled bitterly and said: "Don't mention it. I spent [-] yuan a month ago to learn from the master. I promised to do it perfectly, but I was caught and had three fingers chopped off. I tried to go back to find the master, but he disappeared. I lost both my life and my money." null."

"Didn't you ask me to borrow money? Did you ask grandma to borrow it? I really have no money. I am working part-time and living frugally. I still need 5000 yuan in tuition for my senior year." I said.

"Dad is not here to talk about money with you. I also feel sorry for you these past few years." Dad said.

"What are we here to talk about?" I said.

"I feel very sorry for you, so I plan to give you what little I have left. Isn't there a car factory and two stores? I have changed the name of the legal person to you, and your signature I have also signed it for you. This is the last thing I have, and now I leave it all to you." Dad said.

"Sign? Did you sign it for me?" I said in surprise.

"This is the last thing I can leave you, just accept it." Dad said with a smile.

I nodded helplessly.

"I can't see your grandma anymore. I plan to find a city to work part-time for the rest of my life. You don't have to look for me anymore. It's good for me not to see you." After speaking, my father slowly stood up and took the photo. 100 yuan a piece, and then walked away.

I looked at his back and thought he had an epiphany.

I plan to leave something for me before I am about to die.

But it was all because I was too naive, and my phone was blasted that afternoon.

There were countless bank arrears and calls from creditors, and one after another I had no choice but to turn off my phone.

Early the next morning, I went to the only car manufacturing plant of Luma Motors.

The employees have already arrived one by one to start building the cars.

As soon as I entered the gate, a man with glasses surrounded me and said, "Are you Boss Lu's son?"

"Yes, I am Lu Qiao." I said.

"I'm the company's accountant, you can call me Glasses. The factory hasn't paid workers in two months. Didn't your father give you 50 when he gave the company to you?" the man with glasses said with a smile.

"What's 50 yuan? By the way, it's money. I want to ask you what's going on with those debt collection calls?" I said.

"Every amount of money your dad borrowed was in the name of the company, so these are all debts owed by the company. You are the sole legal person of the company now, so these debt collectors have come to you, that's all." said.

"No, I didn't sign or sign at all. I didn't even read the transferred legal person contract. Why did I become the only legal person?" I shouted.

At this time, the glasses were so frightened that I covered my mouth. All the workers around me stopped what they were doing and looked over.

Glasses whispered in my ear: "If you don't want to be beaten to death by one of these employees, just listen to me."

I calmed down and let go of my glasses.

Glasses smiled and said: "This is Boss Lu's son, the new boss of our company. The big guy's salary will be settled soon, and it will be more, not less. Everyone, keep working, sales will go up. The company will also I won’t owe you anything, everyone, come on.”

Everyone smiled and continued to start the work at hand.

The glasses pulled me up to the office on the second floor.
