Material Empire

The young man came to Qin Hai and Qin Ling out of breath. Seeing the intimacy of the two, his face suddenly sank. He pointed at Qin Hai and asked Qin Ling angrily: "Qin Ling, who is this!"

Qin Ling smiled and held Qin Hai's hand tighter, and asked the young man, "What do you think?"

"Qin Ling..." The young man's face suddenly changed from anger to sadness, tears welled up in his eyes, and there was a bit of crying in his voice: "Qin Ling, do you know, I heard that you I drove here from Hongyuan for the Jintang performance. It took me a day and a night to drive over a thousand kilometers. Look, the flowers I bought in Hongyuan are all wilting..."

Having said that, he lifted up a large bouquet of flowers in his hands. Qin Hai and Qin Ling looked at them carefully. Those flowers were indeed very haggard, but if compared with the young man's face, they were much stronger. In such an era without highways, one can imagine the dignified appearance after driving more than a thousand kilometers.

Qin Ling, who had been sullenly, couldn't hold back anymore, and burst out laughing. When the young man left Hongyuan, he called Qin Ling. It took a whole day for Qin Ling to receive his second call, saying that he had already arrived in Jintang by car and asked Qin Ling's whereabouts. Location. At that time, Qin Ling was waiting for Qin Hai on the platform, and casually mentioned the location of the train station, but the young man actually came to the train station. Seeing the young man's tired and aggrieved appearance, Qin Ling really found it funny.

"Forget it, Wan Baokang, seeing how hard you are, I'll accept your flowers. You are such a fool, you don't know how to get some water to keep them?" Qin Ling reached out to take the bouquet, and at the same time He cursed at the young man in a half-hateful, half-joyed tone.

This scolding, reaching the ears of the young man named Wan Baokang, was like the sound of heavenly sounds. Seeing him, Qin Hai's face glowed, like a flower that has been drought for a long time is happy to meet the spring rain. Qin Hai suddenly began to blame himself. He was also chasing girls, and his attitude towards Tranquility seemed to be too flat. Look at this Wan's dude, he is called true love.

"Qin Ling, you don't know. At first I wanted to get some water, but I couldn't find any place with water along the way. Later, I was driving dizzy, and my eyes could only see the road ahead, nothing else I can't even take care of it." Wan Baokang said in a rambling manner.

Qin Hai casually persuaded: "This is not allowed. You must be energetic when driving. It is very dangerous to drive for a day and a night like you. You must never do this in the future."

"Yeah, it won't be like this in the future, thank you..." Wan Baokang nodded to Qin Hai, expressing his gratitude. Halfway through the conversation, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. The person in front of him seemed not to be his friend, but his rival in love , how can I put a good face on him? Thinking of this, he immediately put on a straight face, and asked Qin Hai hostilely, "Huh? You haven't told me yet, who are you?"

Qin Hai was also amused by this young man's cuteness, he asked back: "You haven't told me yet, who are you?"

Wan Baokang straightened his waist, showed off his weak chest, and said, "My name is Wan Baokang, and I am the vice president of Fukang Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. in Hongyuan Province. What about you?"

"Fukang Iron and Steel Co., Ltd." Qin Hai was taken aback, "Then who is Wan Donghua from you?"

"It's my father!" Wan Baokang replied proudly.

"Uh... that's why the water rushed into the Dragon King Temple. So it's an acquaintance." Qin Hai couldn't help but laugh.

Speaking of Wan Donghua, he was an old friend Qin Hai met when he went to Linxi to buy coal. They are all connected, and Su Yabo has become Qin Hai's subordinate. Wan Donghua had already opened a steel factory at that time, named Fukang Steel Factory. According to him, it was named after his sons Baofu and Baokang. In retrospect, this Wanbaokang is really Wandong. Hua's son.

At that time, the iron and steel plant opened by Wan Donghua was small in scale, with backward technology, and its operation was in trouble. Later, Qin Hai sent several skilled workers from Pingyuan Iron and Steel Works to Hongyuan to help Wan Donghua improve his technology. Even Li Linguang made several trips at Qin Hai's request and developed several high-quality steel products for Wan Donghua. . With Qin Hai's help, Wan Donghua's Fukang Steel Works quickly got rid of the downturn and began to embark on an upward path.

After becoming rich, Wan Donghua has always been grateful to Qin Hai. He would send Qin Hai some local specialties every year and festival. He himself had visited Pingyuan and the capital many times to meet with Qin Hai. While chatting about friendship, he asked Qin Hai for more ways to get rich.

The latest contact between Qin Hai and Wan Donghua was about the price increase of steel at the beginning of the year. Qin Hai gave Wan Donghua some pointers in advance, asking him to hoard some finished products and sell them after the price rose. This operation alone earned Wan Donghua tens of millions of profits. After the dust of the steel war settled, Wan Donghua called Qin Hai several times, saying that he would share the profits he earned with Qin Hai, but Qin Hai declined all of them. When Qin Hai came back from France this trip, he originally intended to meet Wan Donghua, but he didn't expect to meet his playboy son first.

Wan Baokang is actually not a prodigal dude. After all, Wan Donghua also started from scratch. When he started his business, his wife and children had suffered a lot. When Wan Baokang was only a teenager, he followed his father in front of the blast furnace. Having done something, he is considered one of the founders of the company. Then again, if it weren't for people who have really suffered and starved, they don't have the spirit to drive more than a thousand kilometers to show courteousness to the goddess in their hearts.

Qin Hai had been to Wan Donghua's company once before, but had never met Wan Baokang face to face. Wan Baokang always knew that his father met a nobleman named Qin Hai, but he didn't know what Qin Hai looked like, let alone Qin Ling was Qin Hai's younger sister. Fukang Iron and Steel Company is also considered a wealthy company in the local area, and Wan Baokang felt that pursuing Qin Ling in his own capacity was not considered a lofty prospect. When Qin Hai asked him about his background, he naturally proudly reported the name of the company and his position.

"How is it, is Lao Wan okay?" Qin Hai asked Wan Baokang as if he was an elder.

"Who are you? How can you call my dad like that?" Wan Baokang asked without anger. Qin Hai's age was less than two years older than Wan Baokang's. It was obviously impolite to address his father like that. If it were someone else who spoke in front of Wan Baokang like this, Wan Baokang would punch him without saying a word. However, Qin Hai's familiar tone when talking about Wan Donghua, coupled with the calm expression on his face, made Wan Baokang a little confused, so he had to ask before talking, so as not to offend important people.

To put it bluntly, this is the cautiousness of this kind of rich second generation from grassroots. They know that although their family has a little money, there are countless people in society who can easily crush them. When they were young, they were taught by their parents to behave with their tails between their legs and not to offend those who could not afford to offend.

Qin Hai did not answer Wanbaokang's question directly. He took out a mobile phone from his handbag and dialed Wan Donghua's number directly:

"Hey, Lao Wan, I'm Xiao Qin... Haha, don't call me Boss Qin, it's too natural, it's better to call Brother Qin more affectionate....By the way, I want to ask you something, I'm here To a young man, he said his name was Wan Baokang, and he said he was your son, and he asked me who I was, and I couldn’t explain it clearly, so please explain it to me..."

Having said that, he took the big brother away from his ear and handed it to the stunned Wanbaokang.

Wan Baokang answered the phone dubiously, and as soon as he said "Hello", he heard his father's roar coming from the phone: "You son of a bitch, where are you now, have you offended Mr. Qin, why don't you hurry up and tell me President Qin apologizes!"

"Boss Qin? Which Boss Qin?" Wan Baokang drove the overnight train, his mind was still confused, and there were too many changes in front of him, he really couldn't react.

Wan Donghua was even more annoyed, and said loudly: "Who else is Mr. Qin, of course Mr. Qin of the Daqin Group! What did you say in front of others? If you offend Mr. Qin, I will peel your skin when you come back! Also, you Don't call him Boss Qin, call him Uncle Qin, so that people won't blame you, adults don't remember villains."

When he said the last sentence, Wan Donghua lowered his voice as a secret instruction to his son. Wan Donghua knew Qin Hai's character, and knew that he was not a petty person. Although he didn't know what conflicts his son had with Qin Hai, judging from Qin Hai's tone, he wasn't unhappy at all. The place.

Qin Hai told Wan Donghua that Wan Baokang didn't know him, apparently the two met by chance somewhere, and Wan Baokang was not respectful enough to Qin Hai. To make up for this mistake, the best way is to lower his son's status and call Qin Hai "uncle". Besides, Qin Hai has always called Wan Donghua his elder brother, and Wan Baokang called Qin Hai an uncle, which is also reasonable.

"Uh, Qin...Uncle Qin..." Wan Baokang handed back the phone to Qin Hai, and faltered out three words from his mouth. When his father mentioned the Daqin Group, Wan Baokang naturally guessed that this person in front of him was his nobleman Qin Hai. He intended to address Mr. Qin, but thinking of his father's explanation, he changed his words at the last moment. However, looking at the face of the other party who is as young as himself, it is really difficult for him to call this uncle.

"Baokang doesn't need to be polite." Qin Hai guessed immediately what Wan Donghua had explained to his son. Since the other party called him uncle, he simply called him big. He pointed to Qin Ling and said, "Bao Kang, let me introduce you. This is your Aunt Qin."
