Peninsula Landlord

Chapter 456 Company Development and the Sluggish Tara People
It's about four o'clock in the afternoon.

Washijo Takasaki International Airport.

"Xiao Xu, I'm here!"

"Here comes Brother Chao."

As soon as he came out of the exit, Huang Xu saw his cousin Huang Chao, who was already waiting for him at the exit.

After meeting, the two exchanged a few simple greetings and prepared to leave.

But Huang Chao looked at Huang Xu, who was only carrying a backpack, and asked curiously.

"You only brought a backpack?"

"No other luggage?"

"Well, nothing else, just a backpack."

After hearing Huang Chao's words, Huang Xu had not yet reacted to what he meant.

However, after seeing Huang Chao's curious expression, I understood what it meant.

"I'm the only one coming back this time, so I just need to bring a few changes of clothes. It's hard to carry too many."

"And if you need anything, can't you just buy it on the spot?"

"Too!"

Huang Chao nodded in understanding, without saying anything else, and took Huang Xu directly to the parking lot.

Huang Xu felt a heat wave as soon as he walked out of the airport hall and entered the parking lot.

"Wow, it's so hot here!"

Logically speaking, Jiucheng is located on the coast, so the weather in summer should not be too hot and rarely rises to forty degrees.

And because of the sea breeze, the perceived temperature is more comfortable.

But who could have made him be in the "cool" Fengtian City just a few hours ago?

Huang Chao listened to Huang Xu's sigh and looked at him with some curiosity.

"Is the weather okay? Although it hasn't been very cool these days, it's not too hot either, right?"

"At least it's much better than where we are back home."

"Too!"

Huang Xu nodded in agreement.

Although his and Huang Chao's hometown is not one of the four hottest cities in China, the high temperature in summer is also very unbearable.

Especially during the dog days of summer, the minimum temperature will not drop below 30 degrees Celsius 24 hours a day.

This is the weather reported by the weather station. In the city center, the perceived temperature will be even higher.

In that situation, I wouldn't want to go out unless it was necessary.

The two then used this topic to chat all the way to the hotel.

After helping Huang Xu check in a room and putting his backpack in the room, Huang Chao took Huang Xu to a food stall on the beach.

"Xiao Xu, don't be fooled by the fact that the decoration of this store is not very good. The environment is indeed a bit poor, but the taste here is definitely worth mentioning."

Huang Chao pointed at the food stall and began to introduce it to Huang Xu.

"Besides, the owner of this shop is a local and has connections with many fishermen, so he can get a lot of fresh seafood."

"Especially the boss's skill in handling seafood, it is really amazing, and the soy sauce he makes is the best!"

"It seems like you, Brother Chao, have been living very comfortably in Eagle City these days!"

Listening to Huang Chao sitting on a chair and talking endlessly about the local delicacies, Huang Xu couldn't help but sigh.

There is a big difference between the Huang Chao now and the Huang Chao last year.

In the past, he always seemed a little taciturn, but looking at him now, he appears to be so relaxed while talking and laughing, which is something he can't fake.

Sure enough, in response to Huang Xu's sigh, Huang Chao explained with a smile.

"Of course. I don't have much to do every day. I just need to go around the company and make sure the company's development doesn't get out of control."

"I have nothing to do for the rest of the time, so I can only look for delicious food everywhere."

"Especially when you pay me such a high salary and provide travel allowance, of course I live comfortably."

After saying that, he leaned back directly on the chair, looking very relaxed and comfortable.

When Huang Xu heard what he said, he smiled and shook his head, then he imitated Huang Chao and leaned back on the chair.

Feeling the sea breeze and smelling the faint fishy smell in the air, Huang Xu slowly relaxed.

“It’s really comfortable!”

“I haven’t felt this way in a long time.”

"Feel good, have two beers later, and you'll feel even better."

Seeing Huang Xu like this, the smile on Huang Chao's face became even brighter.

Then he called the proprietress over and started taking orders.

"Boss, what new and good stuff do you have in the store today?"

"We caught two stone fish today. They were just hoisted up this afternoon. Do you want any?"

"Sure, what can you do?"

"The fish skin can be served cold, the fish meat can be eaten as sashimi, steamed, or dipped in oil, and the fish offal can be used as soy sauce!"

"The bones can be used to make salt and pepper, and the fish head can be used to make soup."

Hearing that Huang Chao was interested in stonefish, the proprietress also enthusiastically introduced it.

This kind of stonefish, especially the fresh stonefish caught from sea fishing, is not cheap.

Although they have been around for many years and have many regular customers, they generally don't order such expensive items.

Now seeing that Huang Chao was interested, she naturally worked very hard when introducing it.

After listening to her introduction, Huang Chao nodded and said to the proprietress.

"Okay, we'll take these two. Just do what you said."

"Also, if you add some other fish to the soy sauce, it will taste better."

"Sure. Here are some pomfret and pipe fish. I'll give you some to go with it."

When she heard Huang Chao say that he wanted both stonefish and asked for so many ways to cook them, she seemed very excited.

Not counting other things, these two fish alone would cost over a thousand yuan, not including the processing fee.

She also needs to treat big customers of this level well.

So after finishing speaking, he started to introduce himself.

"We have some freshly caught crabs today, the sword-bearing swimming crabs. They are very delicious when they are made into sweet, sour and spicy dishes. Take a look."

"Have some."

"Okay, we also have some newly arrived squids, they are very fresh."

"Yeah, sure, Xiao Tube will make the soy sauce water!"

"Okay, now two stone fish, plus the crab and squid, should be enough for the two of you."

Although Huang Chao ordered the dishes very readily, the proprietress did not continue to recommend any more.

Although she really wanted to make a killing from Huang Chao and the other man, as the store had been around for more than ten years, she still had to pay attention to its reputation.

Especially for today's meal, it was obviously more than two thousand yuan, so she simply stopped ordering.

And then asked the two of them.

"Would you like to drink, boss? If so, I'll give you two side dishes."

"Sure, thank you, Madam." "Please give us another case of cold beer!"

Huang Chao smiled and thanked the proprietress, then turned to Huang Xu and explained.

"Xiao Xu, you are really lucky today. You must try this stonefish."

"It's very rare to find something this fresh and that can be cooked in so many ways."

"Really? Then I must taste it carefully!"

Listening to Huang Chao's introduction, Huang Xu's curiosity was also piqued.

Although he has become rich now, it has only been a short time and there are still many things he has not enjoyed yet.

Now that he saw Huang Chao recommending it so much, he naturally wouldn't miss it.

However, the dish would take some time to prepare, so Huang Xu and his friend enjoyed the side dishes sent by the proprietress and drank cold beer while chatting slowly.

The topic of the conversation, of course, was Huang Chao's work during this period, that is, the development of Mayu Company.

Since he took over Chen Fangyi and his software company after the Chinese New Year, a wave of large investments came at the end of the year. More than half a year has passed now.

The last time I came here, more than a month ago, Mayu Software had already been released in China and achieved good results.

He is also very curious about the current performance of Mayu Company.

After all, he has been busy with other things for more than a month and hasn't paid much attention to it.

Huang Chao did not hesitate and directly told Huang Xu about the current changes in the company.

"First of all, the company's current headcount has expanded to 54 people, more than a dozen more than before."

"And office space is quite tight, so we are looking for a suitable office space."

“Then there’s the number of users of the software.”

"As of last night, the number of people who have registered for the software has reached 62 million."

"."

In just over two minutes, Huang Chao told Huang Xu about the changes that had taken place in the software company over this period of time.

After listening to Huang Chao's story, Huang Xu also showed a satisfied expression about the company's recent progress.

It is normal to increase the number of employees and office space as the company expands.

It can even be said that the current rate of increase in the number of software registrations is also reasonable.

Although the population has only increased by more than 10 million in the past month, it is indeed slow compared to the 50 million new cases in a short period of time before.

But we have to consider the reality.

According to last year's data survey, the number of smartphone users in China is currently around 300 million.

In the past month, they have been able to increase the number of registered people from over 50 million, or one-fifth of the total, to one-sixth, or over 60 million, which is an amazing feat.

To put it bluntly, the rest is just a matter of hard work. It would be great if the proportion of smartphone users does not decrease after the number of smartphone users increases.

As long as this proportion can be guaranteed, even if there is no other business in the future, when the Internet giants begin to explode and start to frantically conquer cities and territories, they can still exchange for considerable wealth.

And it wasn't like he was completely unprepared.

He is also planning to take advantage of this new wave of the Internet and ride the wave of capital to ride the wind and waves!
So next, he asked Huang Chao.

"So Brother Chao, what's the current situation of those suppliers I asked you to find earlier?"

"Well, I was just about to give you a report."

Hearing Huang Xu's question, Huang Chao immediately reported to Huang Xu in detail.

"Because you put safety first, it was difficult to choose."

"So far, we have only selected three or four foundries that meet the requirements."

"clear."

Huang Xu also expressed understanding for Huang Chao's complaints.

It’s not that most manufacturers are unqualified or small workshops, but that they do not meet Huang Xu’s requirements.

This was the first batch of products he prepared for Mayu Software Company, and he was also planning to make these products a hit.

Therefore, the requirements for product quality, hygiene, and quality control will be much higher.

But at the same time, the price is required to be relatively low.

That’s why it’s so difficult to choose.

But even so, Huang Xu still explained to Huang Chao.

"Brother Chao, no matter how difficult the choice is, you must never lower your requirements for product quality."

“Even if the speed is a little slower, it’s no problem.”

"Don't worry, I won't lower my standards."

After listening to Huang Xu's explanation, Huang Chao nodded and told Huang Xu not to worry.

In fact, this is not the first time Huang Xu has explained this matter. He naturally knows the importance of this matter.

Huang Xu looked at the serious expression on Huang Chao's face and nodded with relief.

He still trusts his cousin more.

Whether in his past life or this life, he has never let himself down.

It just so happened that the seafood they had just ordered were being served on the table one after another, so Huang Xu said to Huang Chao.

"Okay, brother Chao, the stonefish is here now, let's taste it."

"I want to see if this stone fish tastes as good as you said."

"Don't worry, the taste will definitely not disappoint you."

Huang Chao responded with a smile, and then began to introduce these seafood to Huang Xu one by one.

Then the two brothers sat on the beach, feeling the cool sea breeze, tasting various seafood, and enjoying the summer night at the beach.

Thousands of miles away in Fengtian, Tara and her friends had finished a day's filming and followed the production crew back to the hotel parking lot.

However, Tara and her friends, looking at the hotel which was already so close, were a little confused about the arrangements made by the program crew today.

"So Yeon-unnie, PD Park's arrangement today is so weird!"

"Why is there no dinner shoot scheduled for today?"

Park Ji-yeon rubbed her empty belly and asked Park So-yeon with a resentful look on her face.

According to the purpose of the program team and previous shooting habits, shouldn’t we have a big meal in the evening?

Not only can it make up for their daily consumption, but also they will look more outstanding in front of the camera after a day of hunger.

And this has been their habit since they started recording the show.

And it wasn't just Park Ji-yeon herself, the rest of the people also had confusion on their faces.

"Yeah Zhao Yan, today is indeed a bit strange. There is no dinner shoot scheduled."

"That's right, we're still hungry now!"

"It's okay, don't worry, I'll go ask PD Park."

Park So-yeon first calmed her teammates down, then stood up and walked towards Park Soo-geun.

In fact, Park Ji-yeon and the others didn’t need to ask, as Park So-yeon was also planning to ask the program crew.

After all, they didn’t have dinner tonight?
However, in response to Park Soo-yeon's question, Park Soo-geun looked at Lim Young-chul and responded mysteriously.

"I have a surprise for you tonight!"

"So just wait patiently for notification!"
