Peninsula Landlord

Chapter 447

"Xiao Xu, why did you choose the East High-Speed ​​Railway Station?"

"It's just like what Brother Song said. The prices are high, there are few options, and it's not that convenient to buy supplies."

"Of course it can appreciate over there!"

Now there were only himself and Zhang Rui in the car, so Huang Xu didn't hide anything as he did just now and explained the reason directly.

"Compared to the wholesale market here, the area near the East Station definitely has more development potential."

“Although there aren’t many vacant lots there and the price is relatively high, so it’s difficult to acquire one, there is potential for appreciation there.”

"Even if the company's business stops making money in the future, we can still make back our investment with that piece of land."

"Maybe I'll even have to rely on that piece of land for my retirement!"

"Is that just it?"

Although Huang Xu spoke sincerely and his reasons were reasonable, Zhang Rui did not believe it. He always felt that Huang Xu was hiding deeper reasons.

Although he didn't know Huang Xu's exact current net worth, he had a rough estimate.

According to the current situation, as long as Huang Xu does not start a business and just spends his money on eating, drinking and having fun, he will never be able to spend all his money in his lifetime.

But since Huang Xu didn't want to say anything, he couldn't ask any more questions.

In addition to being his classmate, a more important identity of mine is that I am Huang Xu's employee.

As the boss of the company, it is reasonable for him to hide some things from me.

But then, he suddenly remembered something and asked Huang Xu carefully.

"Huang Xu, what you said to Song Yiming this afternoon, that you would give Brother Chao and me shares in the future, is that true?"

"Brother Rui, can't you help it?"

"It's earlier than I expected!"

Hearing Zhang Rui's question, Huang Xu turned his head, smiled, and teased him in a slightly disappointed tone.

When discussing cooperation with Song Yiming in the afternoon, Huang Xu said that after the company is established, some important employees should also be given some stock options.

For example, his uncle Huang Wenfu, his cousin Huang Chao, and Zhang Rui in front of him.

Not to mention my uncle, I will definitely give him a part of the investment share in the future.

As for his cousin Huang Chao and Zhang Rui in front of him, he needed to give them a big gift to increase their expected income.

Otherwise, if they continue to do this, even if you pay them a high salary, it will not stop them from having all kinds of random thoughts.

But he didn't expect that Zhang Rui would be so unable to control himself, it had only been a short time since he came out!
However, Zhang Rui did not show any embarrassment in the face of Huang Xu's teasing.

In fact, he did not feel ashamed, but instead responded to Huang Xu firmly.

"Of course a big boss like you doesn't care, but for a small employee like me, it's good enough that I can endure it until now."

"You know, we are a small family, but we don't have the wealth you have."

"Of course it's impossible for me to have your vision!"

"Too."

Listening to Zhang Rui's complaints, Huang Xu nodded silently, and then gave a definite answer.

"Don't worry, since I said it, it will definitely come true."

"When have I ever lied to you?"

"Hey, indeed not."

After getting Huang Xu's confirmation, Zhang Rui immediately showed a happy smile on his face.

To put it bluntly, isn't it just for money that he works outside?
Now that he can earn more money and has the possibility of becoming a boss, how can he not be happy?

But then he looked at Huang Xu curiously and asked.

"Xiao Xu, what you just said to Brother Song is that the company will gradually move from product procurement to a comprehensive enterprise that includes product research and development, food production, and employee training. Is this true?"

"Can we really develop to that point?"

"How do you feel?"

Faced with Zhang Rui's doubts, Huang Xu did not answer directly, but asked back with a smile.

However, Zhang Rui, who thought he would be in a very difficult situation, nodded confidently after hearing Huang Xu's question.

"I believe it! Why shouldn't I believe it?"

"Think about it, it's only been a short time since you graduated, and you've already developed to where you are now."

"Not only is he worth over 100 million yuan, he also owns hundreds of franchise stores and an economic company."

"Now we have reached cooperation with LeEco, a listed company with a market value of tens of billions of dollars."

"I will believe whatever you say."

"Am I that awesome?"

Listening to Zhang Rui's flattery, Huang Xu, the person involved, felt a little unconfident.

He now sees himself as a lucky man.

It is only by relying on the prophetic advantage of memory and being lucky enough that I have come to where I am today.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Rui's opinion of himself was so high.

Just when Huang Xu was not so confident, Zhang Rui, who was driving, turned his head and glanced at Huang Xu while waiting for the traffic light.

Seeing that he was really not pretending, Zhang Rui was a little disappointed.

"It's only been a year since you became a billionaire. Isn't that amazing?"

"If you say so, then what are we?"

"Bugs, or single-celled animals?"

"Uh~~, that's not what I meant."

Huang Xu looked at Zhang Rui in surprise. He didn't expect Zhang Rui's reaction to be so big.

In particular, he heard a hint of a break in Zhang Rui's words.

This made Huang Xu more curious.

You have to know that in his impression, Zhang Rui rarely appears full of confidence and high-spirited.

But I'm not the kind of person who indulges in self-pity.

In his previous life, when he had just graduated, he had a very hard time and was looked down upon countless times when he was selling insurance.

In the end he got through it all and finally achieved good results and had a good income.

When I was feeling most lonely in my previous life, it was he who helped me rebuild my self-confidence.

How did it become like this?

With deep doubts, Huang Xu looked at Zhang Rui carefully.

"Brother Rui, are you in a bad mood?"

"What happened anyway?"

"Why didn't I hear you yesterday?"

"Is there any brother who can help me? I will do my best to help you."

"Huh~~, I'm fine, don't worry!"

After a brief catharsis, and hearing Huang Xu's voice in his ears, Zhang Rui took two deep breaths and adjusted his somewhat broken mentality.

Then she showed an expression that was not much better than crying, and said to Huang Xu.

"Sorry, I didn't get enough rest yesterday, so I lost my composure a little!"

"alright."

Huang Xu felt a little conflicted when he saw Zhang Rui, who said he was fine but one look at him revealed that he was worried.

He really wanted to care about the other person and ask him what was wrong.

Everything was fine when he came to pick me up last night. How did it suddenly become like this?

And the dark circles under my eyes this morning are a bit strange. Is there obviously something wrong?
But he didn't want to say it, and Huang Xu couldn't force him.

I can only keep the doubts in my heart and prepare to find time to slowly understand them.

So, under Huang Xu's deliberate guidance, the topic of conversation in the car gradually turned into romance.

The atmosphere also eased a lot.

Just as Huang Xu and the other person were chatting all the way and driving towards his hometown.

Inside the wholesale market, Song Yiming, who had just seen off Huang Xu and the other man, took out his cell phone and notified his little brothers who had been following him to come over for dinner.

He has something important to announce.

Not long after, the team that had been following him also arrived at the hotel one after another.

Seeing that there were only Song Yiming and their financial staff in the room, everyone seemed quite curious.

"Brother Song, why are there only two of you?"

"Where's Mr. Huang?"

"Aren't we going to treat him to dinner today?"

One of the brothers who followed Song Yiming looked at the empty room and seemed very puzzled.

However, Song Yiming did not answer his question, but spoke to him.

"Zhipeng, please sit down first. I will explain it to you all once everyone is here."

"it is good!"

Song Zhipeng looked at Song Yiming's expression and the atmosphere in the private room. He didn't say anything else and just found a seat and sat down.

However, his eyes kept scanning the private room, trying to see what was going on.

Not long after he sat down, several more people came into the room.

After the few people arrived, their reactions were basically the same as Song Zhipeng's, some were curious, some were confused.

However, when Song Yiming faced their doubts, just like when he faced Song Zhipeng, he asked them to sit down first and wait for his unified explanation.

It was not until more than ten minutes later that Song Yiming saw that everyone had arrived, and then he stood up and spoke to them.

"Okay, everyone is here. I have something to announce next."

"Today I met with Mr. Huang Xu, and we decided to merge our company into his company."

"That means I'm no longer your boss!"

"Brother, why?"

Without waiting for Song Yiming to explain clearly, Song Zhipeng slammed the table and stood up.

As a cousin who has followed Song Yiming for more than ten years, he has been following Song Yiming since he graduated from high school.

Even when Song Yiming failed and went bankrupt a few years ago, he never left Song Yiming.

So after hearing what Song Yiming said, he was immediately furious and exploded.

"Why would he buy us?"

"Why do we have to work for him?"

"Is it because he is our big customer?"

"Zhipeng, please sit down first and wait for me to finish."

Seeing Song Zhipeng suddenly exploded, Song Yiming waved his hand and asked him to sit down.

Of course, he knew very well this hot-tempered cousin of his who had followed him for more than ten years.

I know that he is loyal to me, but his brain is not working very well.

So when I saw him suddenly explode, I didn't seem to be angry.

However, Song Zhipeng, who was already drunk, sat down according to Song Yiming's instructions, but he was still complaining.

"Brother, if I remember correctly, today's meal should be for the guy named Huang!"

"You've already booked a restaurant, and he's just so disrespectful to you?"

"Also, when I met him before, I felt that he was always high and mighty, as if he was superior to others."

"Did he push you today?"

"Just tell me, I'll go right away"

"Song Zhipeng, shut up!"

Seeing that Song Zhipeng was getting more and more outrageous, Song Yiming quickly stopped him from continuing.

Precisely because he knew Song Zhipeng better, even though he was speaking for himself, he still quickly stopped him.

Otherwise, who knows what the people led by Song Zhipeng would do.

These people usually hang out in the wholesale market, and generally have bad tempers, and can even get angry at the slightest provocation.

Otherwise, these people would not have been able to stay in the market for so long.

You have to know that this is the largest fresh fruit and vegetable wholesale market in Zhongyuan Province, and even in several surrounding provinces.

Naturally, the people inside are a mix of all kinds of people.

If there weren't a few hot-tempered employees suppressing them, it would be difficult for them to take root here.

Even when Song Yiming first arrived here in the 1990s, his temper was not much better than theirs.

So after asking Song Zhipeng to shut up, Song Yiming quickly spoke to the remaining people.

"The same goes for the rest of you. Don't say anything until I finish talking."

"it is good!"

Fortunately, they were quite convinced of Song Yiming.

After seeing him get angry, he just closed his mouth and waited for Song Yiming's next words.

Then, Song Yiming did not hide anything and quickly and briefly recounted the results of his discussion with Huang Xu in the afternoon.

"In the afternoon, after discussing with Mr. Huang, we unanimously decided to set up a new company."

"The new company will be responsible for all the material purchases from Mr. Huang in the future."

"Isn't that the same as now?"

Listening to Song Yiming's words, Song Zhipeng couldn't help but muttered softly.

But then he received a warning look from Song Yiming and quickly shut his mouth.

After seeing that several people had received his warning and stopped talking, Song Yiming went straight to the point.

"If we go there, I will bring you and everything in the company with me, and you will become employees there."

"Of course, I will also have a certain share."

"In the future, the company's business segments will continue to expand and will not be limited to the current pickled fish and spicy hot pot."

"at present."

Just as Song Yiming was telling his team about his and Huang Xu's decision and trying to reassure everyone, Zhang Rui also drove to his hometown under the guidance of Huang Xu.

"Xiao Xu, are you guys going to bed so early?"

"It's only eight o'clock, why can't I see anyone?"

“You can’t even see the lights.”

Zhang Rui looked at the dark village not far ahead and felt a little uneasy.

Huang Xu no longer had the energy to pay attention to Zhang Rui's reaction at this time, and just said to him.

"That's for sure. Most of the young people and even middle-aged people here have gone out to work. The rest are basically the elderly and children."

"As soon as it gets dark, they basically go to bed."

"Okay, drive forward. Turn right at the T-junction ahead and you'll be there."
