Yunus said while taking a paper out of a file in front of him:
- Of course, I didn't make a point like this. I studied all the current competitors and those expected in the future during the next three years. In Egypt, only other manufacturers can do this, and countries affiliated with multinational companies only manufacture for themselves..and their names are in the report in front of you..This is first, second, we are now, thank God, we have the best quality control not in companieslocal, but no, this is also in the national and multi-national companies in all of Egypt.. Thirdly, we have well-equipped warehouses capable of accommodating large and huge quantities of raw materials, and other warehouses to store products, and all of them meet the conditions of Egyptian and international standards.. This means that if we enter this field, we will become a market Lead in months..because we will work at the same prices as other factories and companies, but we will provide more and better services..
Abdullah raised his eyes from the report before him and asked:
- What services?
- As there are pharmaceutical companies that contract with more than one factory in order to manufacture their products for them, for example a factory for ampoules, another factory for drops, a third factory for tablets and capsules, and so on.. I mean.. I mean, we will manufacture everything in one place and receive it from one place. No, and also if we want. We will distribute to them through our distribution company.
Khaled announced his support for Yunus' proposal, provided that the legal advisor prepare the necessary amendments in the factory's official papers. As soon as Khaled finished speaking, Abdullah announced his approval. Yunus collected his papers and put them in a file, closed it, and sat waiting for the rest of the discussions. Ramez presented a new project, a car tire factory. And before submitting his initial feasibility study.
Abdullah returned the papers that Ramez extended his hand to and said:
- No.. No.. it is not our playground.. and we will create problems with people we need.. but I have an idea that you can do, Ramez also.. it is true that you are not strong in your specialty, but you will complete a large part of what we lack at work.
- Good, Hajj.. What is the idea?
- Look, Ramez.. At our contracting company, we buy vehicles for transporting mixtures.. We call them a bee.. Do you know it?
- The transport vehicle with a large armed mixer on top of it that damages and turns the mortar inside of it?
- Yes, it is exactly that.
- Ok, what is required of me.
- They are normal transport vehicles, and they are being prepared to become a bee.
- OK.
- You are still studying, and if the matter is good, we will open a factory for the processing and maintenance of mixtures and their stations.
- Come on, Hajj, although I don't know anything about this topic.
- I'm ready.. the whole issue has to do with chemistry, but you don't care.
Abdullah said it and laughed. He did not wait for Khaled to present him with reports about the contracting company. The contracting company loved this man and followed up with his son every step, even if he did not supervise the work, but he was aware of every big and small thing in it. Before the meeting ended, Abdullah said:
- I have been traveling to Italy for a few days.. There is a conference there, I will attend it and come back quickly, and at once if I find anything useful to Ramez in our new project, I will bring it with me.
Yunus did not feel himself saying:
- Of course, you will not travel alone, Nariman will go with you as usual.
Silence prevailed in the place, sullenness dominated the meeting table, Khaled pursed his lips and frowned in anger at his younger brother's comment. Ramez looked at Younes admonishing. The comment of his son, who felt remorse for what he said, and added:
- I am just checking on you, Papa, that there will be someone beside you in exile, I mean.
Abdullah looked at him with a face devoid of expressions and said to him:
- Sir, thank you for your noble feelings.. And, oh, Nariman, you will stay with me on this trip.. If you have any job requests that you need from Italy, let me know because I will be busy in the conference. She can communicate and get you the offers you want.
Abdullah finished his speech, stood up, and left the meeting room without saying goodbye to them, while Khaled pointed to Younes with his hand, objecting to his remark. Ramez tried to calm Khaled down, and indicated to Younis to collect his papers and hurry to the factory.
The meeting of the Al-Shutari family has ended, but there is another meeting in the living room of a house in the Garden City neighborhood overlooking the Nile. Shweikar sat on her favorite comfortable chair, on the opposite wall of which is a life-size oil painting of Shweikar, drawn for her by a Turkish painter named Khaled Abdul Karim when she was spending Sunday. She had summer vacations in Turkey in the eighties of the twentieth century. At that time, she was a young woman in her twenties who lived a life of fun and luxury. She belonged to that velvety class that only cares about rest, roaming and various trips of all kinds. She did not like fishing trips, which her father was so addicted to that he bought a house in Fayoum to practice his hobby. In duck hunting, she went with him once and refused it, describing that trip as (disgusting and disgusting). She loves tourism trips. She traveled to many countries whose passport was unable to bear entry and exit visas, so it was renewed more than once before it expired. Her tourist trips continued for years after her marriage to Shawkat. And after her inheritance ran out, she settled for the northern coast as a summer trip, spending there nearlyFor three months every year, she enjoys sunbathing (tanning) and changes her white skin color to bronze. She is happy with her friends' comments about her new skin color, but it soon disappears after she lives in Cairo and stays away from the sun.
Shawkat sat on another chair in front of a large flat screen TV. He loves to watch football matches, especially the English Premier League. He supports the Chelsea club team, but this does not prevent his love and encouragement for the Egyptian star, Mohamed Salah. He always makes him a site of bullying among his friends. He has been practicing sports for nearly thirty years, but he did not play football. He did not like to play team sports, so he only practiced tennis as a hobby.
Shawkat, unlike his wife, Shweikar, does not prefer to watch TV unless one of the channels will show a fashion show, which she follows with avidity and sometimes even records it to watch more than once, to choose what suits her from the new fashion lines. This is if the show is for a well-known and long-standing fashion house.
The third and final party to the meeting was Nabil, who only watches television, spends his free time reading or in the equestrian club as he did that day, Nabil sat on the sofa between the two chairs on which his parents were sitting, Nabil wanted to break into the silence surrounding them in the room He looked at Shawkat and said:
- Did you know that Karama is pregnant?
Shawkat smiled as he replied:
- May God make it easy.. If the doctor's words turn out to be true, then it will be good and strong.
- Indeed, a million and a half is a good amount.
- Nor will they do anything in the circumstances we are in, my duchess.
Shweikar was silent, following their conversation indifferently, but when she heard her husband's last sentence, she wanted to take advantage of it. She looked at Nabil, her son, and said:
- Babi's working conditions with him are very difficult these days.. Then, even if the money of Karama's daughter is guaranteed, it will not come for two years.
Nabil looked disturbed by his mother's words, and the concern was evident in the tone of his voice:
- Circumstances eh good, God willing?
Shawkat said:
- It's all good.. Amal, why are we in a hurry to get your marriage?!
- My husband needs money, he won't get money.. I mean, he doesn't have time at all...
Shweikar boycott a noble hadith:
- We will dispose of the costs of your passport, but after your marriage, all problems will be resolved.
- How will you be solved? I don't understand.
Shawkat turned to him and started telling him about the advantages of the bride they had chosen for him, a beautiful, delicate young woman and a famous artist, whose paintings travel around the world and are sold for huge sums, but this is not the point, the target is her father. ?! But Shawkat did not give him a chance to be amazed and bewildered, and he spoke to him again about his expected father-in-law, Raafat Al-Jamil. Mentioning the name was sufficient for Nabil to understand and realize the pillars of their planning.Edit
