Chapter 56 Section Eleven

The bird egg was pushed into the operating room. At this moment, he finally fully exposed the fragility of human nature. Before the operation started, it seemed that the person was already dead.He was lying on the stroller with his eyes closed, his face was sallow, and he was skeletal. No matter what others said, he closed his eyes tightly and did not respond. It seemed that when he opened his eyes, what he saw was not the familiar world, but the sinister world. Hell.People who don't know the inside story will see him at this time and think that he was sent from the ward to the morgue, not from the ward to the operating room.Qian Liangliang, Xiong Bao, and a relative of the bird's egg took on the task of pushing the cart, and pushed the bird's egg into the operating room, and then they were chased out by the doctors and nurses waiting inside.Hao Dongxi hooked up with the chief surgeon directly through a friend who didn't know which line. The doctor promised to cut it carefully, at least to make the bird's egg get off the operating table safely, and even if he died, he had to open his eyes and see his family. Die after talking face to face.

Hao Dongxi and Ajiao guarded Niaodan's wife, Niao's wife didn't cry, she didn't sit on a chair, she squatted on the ground stupidly, just like an old widow visiting her husband's grave.When Qian Liangliang and his team returned to the corridor after working as laborers, the bird wife jumped up and asked impatiently, "How is it? Are you all right?" Qian Liangliang comforted her: "It's okay, everything is normal." Hao Dongxi told Bird Wife: "I asked, and the doctor said that the stomach cut will not affect anything, and it will grow back in two or three years. It's okay, don't worry."

A Jiao was more careful: "The operation won't be finished in a while, don't waste it in this corridor, arrange a more comfortable place to wait." Hao Dongxi then called the nearby hotel, and asked A Mosquito to accompany Niao Wife to rest after the connection was made.The bird wife was worried and didn't want to go.Hao Dongxi frightened her: "We boat runners are very particular. There can be no women on board. Women are very sinister, and the gods will not take care of them. If you stay here, you will not be of much help, and the gods will not come to take care of you. If the operation fails Good luck, don't blame others."

Bird Wife frightened Hao Dongxi, fearing that there was really something wrong with the operation and everyone would blame her, so she hurriedly followed Ajiao to the outside.I ran into Ah Jin who was carrying mineral water and iced black tea.Hao Dongxi asked Xiong Bao to take the things in A Jin's hand, and told A Jin to go with A Jiao and Bird Wife.Ah Jin asked why.Hao Dongxi was impatient: "What are you doing? Just stay outside and do whatever the woman asks you to do." Ajin smiled wryly, and hurriedly followed Ajiao and Niaowife away.Hao Dongxi scolded him: "Xiong Bao, you don't understand anything, there must be someone running errands in front of the proprietress, right?"

Xiong Bao turned around and agreed in a daze: "Boss, call me?" Hao Dongxi said: "I didn't call you, I scolded Ah Jin, that bear boy." Xiong Bao was stunned for a moment, realizing that his name was once again being used as a curse word, he smiled wryly and distributed mineral water and iced tea to those who stayed behind. At this moment, Hao Dongxi answered a phone call.Qian Liangliang noticed that when Hao Dongxi answered the phone, she frowned and looked nervous, she hid aside and chatted for a while, and after putting down the phone, her face was very ugly.Qian Liangliang asked him tentatively: "Boss, if you have something to do, go there, we'll just stay here."

Hao Dongxi stared blankly at Qian Liangliang, as if she didn't understand what Qian Liangliang was saying.Qian Liangliang repeated again: "Chairman, the company has a lot of things to do now, you go and take care of yours, we will take care of you here, and report to you at any time if you have any problems." Hao Dongxi did not respond directly to Qian Liangliang, but asked Qian Liangliang as if talking to himself: "Do you think this person really has a destiny?" This question is not only Hao Dongxi's, but also the confusion that almost everyone flashes from time to time.The same is true for Qian Liangliang, whether in good times or bad times, he can't help but put everything he encounters on the word "fate": "I didn't believe in fate before I was thirty, and I half believed in it before I was forty. I believe in fate, if I don't believe in fate, I can't explain my own life."

Hao Dongxi let out a long sigh: "Oh, is it destined that I should be defeated? Fuck you, this year is really my ruined year?" Qian Liangliang had never seen Hao Dongxi so depressed and helpless, he hurriedly asked, "What happened to the chairman?" Hao Dongxi did not answer, but asked another question: "Do you know what happened to the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States?" Qian Liangliang has retained the habit of intellectuals and government officials to care about current affairs, and has always been very interested in current affairs regardless of good times or bad times. So far, even in the lowest period of his life when he is working to earn a living, he still remembers to buy a copy of "Reference News" every day. "Look over.Hearing Hao Dongxi ask this question surprised Qian Liangliang. He never expected that Hao Dongxi, a private entrepreneur who was born as a fisherman, would pay so much attention to the subprime mortgage crisis on the other side of the world across the Pacific Ocean: " Understand a little bit, not very deeply. Does the chairman know?"

Hao Dongxi said fiercely: "I know shit, I know that the American subprime mortgage crisis caused our import and export company to close down, and the export of building materials has been withdrawn, and the incoming building materials have backlogged more than a dozen containers. You are a cultural person, knowledgeable and learned, tell me, what happened to the subprime mortgage crisis?" Qian Liangliang had no choice but to explain to him as simple as possible: "Americans basically live on loans, while Chinese basically live on savings balances. This is one of the most important differences between the economic models of our two countries. In other words, Americans spend the money they can earn tomorrow, while Chinese spend the money they earned yesterday..."

Hao Dongxi interrupted him: "Don't go so far, just tell me how the subprime mortgage crisis destroyed my import and export." Qian Liangliang thought for a while and sorted out his thoughts, and then said to Hao Dongxi as briefly as possible: "Americans are different from Chinese people. They can get loans for buying a house or a car, or buying a hot dog for going to the toilet. Therefore, Making profits through loans has become the main business of various financial institutions. The loan interest of a large American bank is, for example, 5%, and the second-tier financial institutions borrow from the bank and then re-lend to the second-tier financial institutions. The interest rate is 10%, and the next-level financial institution can earn 5% of the profit. The next-level financial institution lends to the next-level financial institution, and the loan interest is 15%, and they can also Get 5% of the profit, and so on. In the end, the loan was given to the real estate developer at a price that was inflated several times or even dozens of times. The loan interest is up to 50, and you can still make a profit yourself.”

Hao Dongxi understood: "You old American, you just make a fortune and live a good life like this?" Qian Liangliang continued to elaborate: "This is only the real estate industry. Any industry in the United States can be said to be in debt and enjoy debt. The price of 10,000 yuan is invested in the final consumer. Therefore, under this loan economic model, the capital chain in the United States is always in a tight state. As long as there is a problem in one place, the entire capital chain is broken, and the entire financial system The system would collapse, directly affecting the entire economy of the country."

Hao Dongxi thought for a while before saying: "You mean, the American capital chain is broken now, and a crisis has begun? What does that have to do with my building materials not being sold?" Qian Liangliang was stunned for a moment, and only then did he truly understand the bottom line of this private entrepreneur. Even if his family assets are hundreds of millions, he is still a fisherman.A fisherman is a fisherman, and his current status is still the chairman of the Great Southeast Group. If you ask him questions, he has to answer them.Qian Liangliang secretly smiled wryly, and had no choice but to use what he thought was the most popular language to describe the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States: "Chairman, we used to talk about the global village, and when we said it, I thought it was just a description, but actually With the rapid development of economic integration and internationalization, the earth has indeed become a big market to a large extent. The real estate bubble in the United States has burst, financial institutions have exploded, and ordinary people can’t enjoy loans. Who has spare money and courage? Buy a house and decorate it again? So, of course, they don’t want the building materials exported to them by building material exporters like you.” Seeing that Hao Dongxi was in a daze again, Qian Liangliang understood that he had indeed encountered major difficulties in his business operation, and quickly comforted him: "Chairman, it's actually better to return the order than you have already shipped the goods and can't get the money back. If the goods are delivered In the past, if the banks on our side cannot pay according to the American side, the banks will definitely come back to you, and it will be even more troublesome." Hao Dongxi gave a absent-minded "hmm", and Qian Liangliang asked him tentatively, "What happened? Can you tell me?" Hao Dongxi looked at Qian Liangliang, and then told him as if he had made up his mind: "I, like the Americans, have also broken the capital chain. The Oriental Garden cannot be sold, and the loan cannot be repaid. In the past, the funds from the import and export company were used to subsidize the Oriental Garden. Garden, now there is no import and export, and the loan owed to the bank has to be repaid, so there is only one way left, which is to let the bank close the building for auction." Qian Liangliang concluded from Hao Dongxi's hesitation when he said this that he must have not told him the whole story. As for what else he was hiding, it is unnecessary and impossible for others to ask Qian Liangliang if they don't tell him. The red light in the operating room went out, and the bird egg was pushed out by the nurse.Qian Liangliang and Hao Dongxi greeted Niaodan's car at the same time. Bird's Egg is covered with a white sheet, with a glass bottle hanging from its arm, its face is as yellow as the Gobi Desert in the Hexi Corridor, its eyes are tightly closed, if it is not for the slightly rising and falling chest with breathing, anyone who looks at it will think it is a dead body. dead body. Hao Dongxi rushed forward, grabbed the nurse and asked, "How is it?" The nurse said indifferently: "It's nothing, it's like this just after the operation." The doctor Hao Dongxi met through a relationship came out, holding a plate in his hand, and showing Hao Dongxi a bloody pig belly-like thing on the plate: "The operation went well, no problem, look, this is the cut stomach .” The doctor opened the bloody thing with his hands and showed it to Hao Dongxi and the others: "Here, do you see it? This is the tumor, and the ulcer on it is the key to his pain." Hao Dongxi, Qian Liangliang, and Xiong Bao gathered around to look. There was no difference between the stomach of a bird's egg and a pig's stomach. There were some bumpy things growing inside, and there were ulcers the size of a little finger on the bumpy stuff.Hao Dongxi sighed: "What the hell are you, how can such a small breach hurt people like that?" Qian Liangliang said to Xiong Bao: "Why is the human stomach exactly the same as the pig stomach bought on the street?" The operation went well, and people relaxed their mood, and they were in the mood to tell jokes.Hao Dongxi ordered Xiongbao: "Xiongbao, take the bird's egg stomach back and put it in the refrigerator. When he is able to eat, make a stir-fried stomach for him, so he can eat whatever he wants." Suddenly, Qian Liangliang felt his stomach churning, and he continued to gag, and a thought flashed in his mind: From now on, he might have to insulate himself from such dishes as fried belly cubes and mixed belly strips. The doctor didn't understand that Hao Dongxi was joking, so he quickly hid the plate behind his back: "That won't work, I have to do pathology." Hao Dongxi asked: "Is it still useful after cutting it off?" The doctor said: "I see that the edges of these tumors are neat. Look, there is no obvious deterioration of the surrounding tissues. It seems that they have not spread. This is luck among misfortunes. We still need to do further pathological examinations to determine the nature of the tumors. draw final conclusions." Hao Dongxi understood: "Okay, you should do it well. If the test report is wrong, your hospital will cut off the stomach without tumor, but you will have to pay for it." The doctor was very upset: "This has nothing to do with cutting the stomach. Don't talk nonsense. Even if it is benign, if the ulcer looks like this, it still needs to be cut. If you don't believe me, please ask the medical malpractice appraisal agency for evaluation." Hao Dongxi quickly apologized with a smile: "I'm just joking, if the result is benign, it will be too late for the bird's egg to be happy, so how can I argue with the hospital. No, no." The doctor said with a sullen face: "Whether it is benign or malignant, we are responsible for the patients. Even if the test is wrong, you can sue us, and the pathological test should be done. This is a human stomach, not a pig's stomach. You can eat whatever you want to make up for, and you won’t find it disgusting.” After the doctor finished speaking, he turned his head and went back to the operating room, ignoring the group of them.Hao Dongxi and Qian Liangliang had a boring fight, and rushed to the ward to look at the eggs again.Only then did Hao Dongxi remember that Niaodan's wife was still waiting for news with Ajiao in the hotel, so she quickly called Ajin and told him that the operation was over and everything went well, and asked them to come and take care of Niaodan. Ah Jin accompanied Ah Mo and Bird's Wife, but he didn't see the stomach of the bird's egg, and couldn't understand what they were talking about, so he kept asking: "What kind of bird's stomach? How did the bird's stomach become a pig's belly?" On the way back, several people waited in the corridor of the hospital for most of the day, exhausted and drowsy.Hao Dongxi said to himself: "Seeing that the bird's eggs are scrapped, the group now has a lot of things to take care of, and at this time he makes such a fuss again, and it won't take half a year to recover, goddamn it, this is really a typhoon." When there is a flood, blessings do not come together, and misfortunes do not come singly.” In this one-act drama, he muttered to himself like he was alone, and others couldn't respond. Everyone pretended to be sleepy and silent, but he turned around and said to Qian Liangliang: "Seeing that the bird's egg is invalid, the group needs to employ people. Manager Qian, Come and help me, and replace Bird Egg as my vice president."
