Brilliant Years 1991

Chapter 116 The big boss must have courage!

Old aunt... is very good at cooling down.

To be honest, in the past, and even until now, Cao Yukun definitely still prefers young and beautiful girls. As long as it is not illegal, the younger the better. But after experiencing it twice, he still has to admit it.

The old lady is really good at reducing heat.

"You are a concubine, you have so much to do! Just take the money if it's given to you!"

"Pfft...hahaha...you said you wanted to marry me yesterday, but today you really become my concubine?"

"Do you want?"

"If you want it, you have to! If you don't want it, you'll miss it! ... Wow, one million? Isn't that a bit..."

"If you keep talking nonsense, take it back!"

"No! I'm not giving it to you. It belongs to me!"

The key point is that after two days of continuous work, the old aunt's face became more and more rosy unconsciously. Her figure was as light as a girl, but now even her usual steady and mature feeling was gone. She was just like a little girl, acting coquettishly, showing some cute little temper, loving to laugh and make trouble.

Cao Yukun couldn't bear it and stayed for another day.

When she woke up the next morning, she was reluctant to leave. "Then, finish your business over there and come back early. Auntie will miss you... Hahaha..."

It was originally a little fun, but she seemed to accept it and at the same time not accept it. As soon as I called myself auntie, it immediately became her funny point and the fun was gone.

Without asking her to send him off, Cao Yukun took a taxi to the airport by himself. When he landed, Director Tao had already arrived at the airport reception hall with his car.

"Mr. Cao, in accordance with your wishes, I have gone over on your behalf and signed the next contract."

"Good."

"I also met Mr. Jin. Mr. Jin told me to call him when I come back. He said he has a surprise for you."

"Surprise? What surprise can he give me?"

The surprise had already been given - the beverage sold unexpectedly well, but Cao Yukun had no intention of changing the export agent, not only because he wanted to save trouble, but also because he felt that the Jin family had deep connections in Shanghai and Hongkong, and as long as there was business, he would always be able to borrow help later. More importantly, it was Jin Zhiqiang who paid him 60 million yuan in cash to allow him to withdraw from Shanghai in time, and later, he gave him face and made a small batch of 1,000 tons, which made his plan to sell his beverages in Hong Kong take the most important first step.

Friendship, stable long-term friendship, is what he values ​​more.

As for the fact that you make less money in this business and others make more, in the next business it will be your turn to make more money and he will make less - it just depends on your ability, there is nothing unbalanced about it.

However, Jin Zhiqiang still gave a surprise.

He took the initiative to say that he wanted to increase the purchase price for Shimen Beverage Factory to 2600 yuan per ton, an increase of 100 yuan, which may not seem like a lot, but if they can really produce tons a year, that would be a difference of million!
They voluntarily gave the 10 million to the beverage factory as profit!
If this isn't a surprise, then what is?
"Ah? Give me a Mercedes?"

While still in the car, Cao Yukun used his mobile phone to call Jin Zhiqiang directly. The answer he got made him a little confused, "Why did you think of giving me a car?"

On the other end of the phone, Jin Zhiqiang said with disdain, "You are a big boss now, after all, Mr. Kun! Please, please, be a little more respectable! You and your Director Tao, you drive around in a domestically made van every day. How can you be a big boss who earns millions of Hong Kong dollars a day?"

"Hahahaha!"

"Well, I'm doing a good deed, so I'll give you a Mercedes-Benz! It's a brand new one, made for foreign trade! As you know, when you're in foreign trade, there's always this little bit of convenience. I'll ask Director Tao to come find me later and I'll transfer the ownership to your beverage factory. At the Dali Palace tonight, that's it!"

"Hey, hey..."

Well, it’s not bad to be given a Mercedes by someone.

But if we really just send Tao Mingqi there, it would seem too immature.

After all, it is a Mercedes-Benz, worth at least hundreds of thousands, and possibly as much as one or two million - Mr. Jin's wealth, status, and ambition are there, he can't give away hundreds of thousands!
So it's at least seven figures, and it's worth making a personal trip to say thank you and exchange a few words with each other.

Then just drive straight to his building without stopping.

He joked as soon as he saw me, "You are too obsessed with money! How many times have I told you not to leave today, and to have dinner and chat at the Dali Palace in the evening, but you didn't even bother to show your respect. Now you come here just for a car... Come on, come on, I'll take you to see the car! I don't want to see you again, just drive away!"

Well, Mr. Jin is indeed a respectable man. He directly gave me a Mercedes-Benz S600.

It is still the legendary Tiger Head Run.

"Well, it was just launched internationally last year, and it's basically not available in China yet. This is the first one I got, so I'm giving it to you first. I don't even have a seat. How is it? It has a displacement of 6.0, a twelve-cylinder engine, and can accelerate from to km/h in just over six seconds. Are you satisfied?"

If I am satisfied...of course I am satisfied. If this car is parked in the country, it will probably be considered a luxury car in the next ten years.

It was probably not entirely because he wanted to consolidate the cooperative relationship and continue to get shipping orders from him - for people like Jin Zhiqiang, making money is important, but dignity is equally important.

If it is an ordinary Mercedes-Benz, even if it is worth two or three million, President Jin may give it to you with just one sentence. But even if he gives it as a gift, he will not emphasize that there is basically no such thing in China, he himself has not used it, and he is giving it to you as the first one he bought - President Jin never does such things!

For him, this kind of behavior of praising something to the point of being extremely rare and then giving it to you to show that this gift is very precious... is not decent and loses everyone's spirit!
Although he didn't mention the fact that there was something more valuable on the car than the car itself - the license plate number was 沪A00666! Not the best license plate, but still pretty cool!

So... well, Mr. Jin obviously made a fortune by taking away 30,000 subscription certificates from his hands for 60 million yuan, but fortunately, he still had a conscience.

I sat in the boss-only seat in the back row and felt it. Wow, it’s very comfortable!
You don't even need to drive the car, just simply sit in it, it is indeed more comfortable than that big van of Delica.

Cao Yukun poked his head out and saw, "Uncle Xue, Lao Tao, get in the car, let's go!"

Jin Zhiqiang was still standing outside the car. He was stunned for a moment after hearing what he said, and then he couldn't help but laugh and curse, "Fuck you, you are really ungrateful! Hey, I just gave you such a nice car..."…………

At 11:30 am, the luxurious and imposing Mercedes-Benz was already parked in front of the Ah Hong Tea Restaurant.

It can also be considered as supporting her.

Tell the people who come and go here frequently that Mr. Kun has not left, has not left Shanghai Beach, and Hu Zihong is still Mr. Kun's woman and is under his protection.

Hu Zihong ran out to see it, walked around the car again and again, and then went back to ask Cao Yukun about the price. When she heard that it was given by Shanghai celebrity Jin Zhiqiang, she couldn't help but exclaim, "It must be very expensive!"

The car is an export product, but it will cost about 00666 US dollars, and there will be discounts for customs declaration and tax and so on for a foreign trade tycoon like Jin Zhiqiang, but that depends on his ability, and it has to be included in the cost. Plus, with this good brand name of Shanghai A - I guess someone would be willing to buy it at million, and they will rush to buy it at million!
"Don't look at it, you'll be sitting on it this afternoon!"

They had a casual meal at her restaurant. Xu Delu heard the news and took a taxi to come over, so they chatted for a long time. The Shanghai stock market has been rising, and he has been very proud recently. However, looking at the luxury cars parked at the door, even a new Mercedes-Benz that he has never seen before, plus the obviously unusual license plate, and the rumor that although Mr. Kun is no longer in the stock market, he has started a beverage business, which is also a way to make money, he still tried to get close to her again and again, expressing his hope to have a meal with Cao Yukun when he has time.

Cao Yukun agreed immediately.

In fact, for him, the market development in Hongkong has been completed. He just needs to keep an eye on it, make efforts from time to time, do some publicity and planning, maintain or even expand the market advantage. In the short term, it doesn't take up too much of his energy, so naturally, his attention will gradually withdraw to the mainland. The mainland is nothing more than two places, Fuping County and Mo City.

There are plenty of opportunities to have dinner with Xu Delu.

…………

After having lunch in the store, they got in the Mercedes-Benz in the afternoon. Tao Mingqi also drove the Delica van to go look at houses. Hu Zihong had been promised that she could choose the house herself, so of course he had to fulfill his promise now.

She seemed extremely excited.

They quickly called the agent and got in a Delica van to lead the way. It was not far and they arrived in just over ten minutes. When they got out of the car, even Cao Yukun was stunned.

The car had driven directly into the yard, but the problem was that the yard was too damn big!

In front of me is a three-story building in almost completely American style. At a rough glance, the area of ​​a single floor is probably about 1500 to square meters, and the entire house is about square meters.

But this is not scary enough. What is scary is that the whole area around the villa is its yard, which looks like at least six or seven acres - damn, this woman is really cruel!
Of course Cao Yukun remembered the boast he had made at the time. He said that in Magic City, as long as people were willing to sell the houses, he would buy them for you. But who would have thought that even such a big house would be sold?
This is a magical city!
Even in 1992, Shanghai is still Shanghai after all!
Judging from the architectural style and the degree of daily weathering on the facade, this house is most likely an old building from the Republic of China period, and it is probably at the level of a cultural relic protection unit - this must be worth at least five million, right?
If I like something, I really like it. I fell in love with it at first sight!
The building is elegant and neat, and considering its age, the facade is well maintained. It is definitely located in the core of the old city of Shanghai. Such a large house in such a location would be worth hundreds of millions in 20 or 30 years. What Cao Yukun particularly likes is that there are two very tall and dense old trees in its extremely open courtyard, which makes the villa even more charming.

Well, even if you kill yourself, you can’t admit that your fart stinks.

"Boss Kun, this is the first house that Sister Hong asked me to show you!"

"As for the house, you can tell at a glance that it is the oldest mansion in Shanghai. It is definitely not an exaggeration to say that it covers a total area of ​​less than seven and a half acres. It has been precisely measured and is 4960 square meters! There are three floors indoors, and the total construction area is 1436 square meters! There is also a wine cellar in the basement, which is not included in the area. The house is an old building. The American Chamber of Commerce in China during the Republic of China had its office here for many years. Even now, if you ask locals, many people will still remember the Sinan Road Chamber of Commerce."

"After the founding of the People's Republic of China, this place was used as a foreign guesthouse for a period of time, but later it was protected!"

"Now, the ownership of this house belongs to the district. The title deed is not only the title deed, but also the land. If you buy it, you will probably need to spend some money to renovate and renovate the interior. It will definitely be very grand after it is done! But, haha, it is indeed quite expensive! The city is short of money recently, so they are selling it! And they only accept rice knives, the asking price is 100 million rice knives!"

Cao Yukun was stunned for a few seconds before he came to his senses - he understood, this is not for sale to Chinese people!
Just like what Xu Delu talked about when I was in Shanghai before, the country is short of foreign exchange now. If you go to the capital or any other provincial capital, you will find many cultural relic shops. Many of the cultural relics and antiques that are said to be super awesome are just put on the counter and sold! Many old-timers who love cultural relics in the capital feel very distressed when they see so many good things left by their ancestors being sold in cultural relic shops. The key is that these cultural relic shops are only open to the public, and they do not accept RMB for the things they sell, but only rice knives!

To put it bluntly, if the family is poor and wants to do something to develop industry and commerce, then they have to sell their property!
Collect all the things at home that are not so important for the time being, such as houses, antiques, etc., and sell them to foreigners as long as they are willing to pay for them, and use the money for development!

"Do you like this? Do you want to buy it?"

"what?"

Unexpectedly, when Cao Yukun asked this, Hu Zihong was stunned for a moment, and then quickly said: "No! I won't buy this! This house is so big, not to mention that I can't afford it, I wouldn't dare to live in it even if I could afford it!"

She said seriously, "I asked a Feng Shui master to look at it. He said that it would be better if there was a dragon living in this house. If not a dragon, at least a tiger would be needed to keep it in place! Otherwise it would be unlucky!"

"I was going to buy another one, but I just thought this one was too good, so I wanted to bring you over to see it!"

Looking at her serious expression, Cao Yukun couldn't help but laugh.

Jianghu people, just like this, when they have no money, they fight for their lives in the wind and waves, and wander in the world. At that time, they neither believe in fate nor luck nor feng shui. They only believe that hard work will win, and they are all very brave! But once they make money and go ashore and put on shoes, they believe in fate, luck and feng shui, and they are all very cowardly!
However, even though he is a time traveler, Cao Yukun still has no feelings about Feng Shui.

Maybe Feng Shui really exists.

But fate comes first, luck comes second, and Feng Shui comes third! Feng Shui only ranks third!

And I am a time traveler, a time traveler, I have traveled through time... I have a strong life and good luck!

Otherwise, how could it be my turn to travel through time? Not only was I dead in my previous life, but the Red Hare among the horses in this life is also dead!
At this time, the agent said, "Mr. Kun, do you want to go in and take a look? It's okay to take a look. This house has been on the market for three or four months. Many people have come to see it, but no one wants to buy it! Who can afford it!"

So I followed him in to see the house.

The interior is actually well maintained, but the layout is a bit old-fashioned. More importantly, it largely retains the decoration style of when it was originally a hotel. The interior is divided up a bit, almost eliminating the American architectural atmosphere that the house should have.

In other words, if you buy the house to live in, you will definitely have to redecorate it!
However, after viewing the house, Cao Yukun turned around and said to the agent, "This house, you bargain with the owner for me, nine hundred thousand dollars, I want it!"
