Brilliant Years 1991

Chapter 144 Heart-to-heart talk between father and son
Song Yuhuai's heart is very warm.

In fact, he has always been passionate and wanted to do something on his own. He did not want to follow his father's wishes and go to the winery to learn from him first and then take over slowly.

The failure of the beverage factory dealt him a heavy blow, but over the course of a few years he gradually realized some things. However, even though he realized these things, his heart was still burning and he still wanted to escape from his father's control.

Of course, it's difficult.

However, things did take a turn for the better after all. Although he had mentioned the matter to the beverage factory many times, his brother-in-law Cao Yukun had not agreed, but everyone had to cooperate in the end. That day, Cao Yukun went home and finalized the instant noodle factory matter with just a few words from his father. He felt that the happiest person in the family was not even his sister Song Yuqian, but himself!

The instant noodle factory is great!

As long as Cao Yukun is here, and as long as he can sell what he produces, I can absolutely guarantee that I will not hold him back in terms of production!
Although in terms of shares, I can only get 10% of the shares for the time being by paying half the money, but money is secondary. The important thing is that I finally got a career where I can use my abilities!
It was with this mentality that after the two sides discussed and decided, there was no movement from Cao Yukun's side, and he was still intoxicated by Xie Xiaoyu's tenderness, but Song Yuhuai had already started to make arrangements.

He got up early in the morning and called Cao Yukun to make an appointment. Then, after he and his father had breakfast, they left home in two cars and ran to the county government compound to meet up with the county leaders. When their car arrived, Cao Yukun's Mercedes was already parked in the yard.

Soon, five or six cars gathered together and headed to Huguan Township in a mighty manner.

This is a good place, a strategic location for water and land transportation. In fact, it is more suitable for opening a factory than Shimen Township.

The leaders of the village also took the initiative to accompany him. When everyone met and shook hands, my father suddenly called me over, pointed at a man in police uniform, and said, "This is your uncle from the Cao family!"

Song Yuhuai was stunned for a moment, then quickly stretched out his hands and shouted "Uncle" to shake hands.

A very pleasant inspection.

A small part of Shimen Township is mountainous, with not much flat land. The same is true for Huguan Township, but there is a large area along the north bank of Shimen River, with more than a dozen villages, which are all relatively flat and good places, very suitable for building factories.

At the county and township levels, the four top and second-in-command officials are all here. This time, Song Yuhuai feels as if he is grabbing land - they are all farmland and can be requisitioned at any time and anyone can choose whatever they want!
In fact, because it involves foreign investment, the land price offered by the county will be super low!

And also because of the issue of foreign investment, the taxes and fees that the county should collect will be fully levied within three years, and will be halved after three years. After a full six years, the full amount will be levied - this alone is a huge amount of money!
In short, everyone's minds are so eager.

Almost everyone is looking forward to making this happen.

However, when he looked back occasionally, Song Yuhuai suddenly noticed that Cao Yukun did not seem to be very enthusiastic. His expression was always calm. Later, he just huddled together with his father and no one knew what they were talking about.

Not knowing whether they were talking about something private at this time, Song Yuhuai naturally didn't want to go over. But before he could leave, the father and son actually walked towards him, talking as they walked.

"Well, after all, it's a newly developed market. Our drinks have even surpassed Pepsi. You may not know that Pepsi is the second-largest brand in the world, no matter where it goes. It's only in Hongkong that it's surpassed by our sour plum juice. Can you imagine how they would be willing to sell it so honestly? Even if they don't value this market, they still have to save face! So, I have to go back and keep an eye on it..."

Song Yuhuai was slightly stunned when he heard this, and hesitated for a moment. He wanted to take the initiative to go over and ask a question, but after thinking about it, he finally decided to walk away - he actually understood his thinking.

Not far behind him, the conversation between Cao's father and son was still going on.

"Well, then go ahead. You don't have to worry about the family."

"I really don't want a car. It won't cost much to buy another one."

"No. I'm very comfortable with this motorcycle. Don't spend the money on me."

"Okay, it's up to you. I have some wine and cigarettes in my trunk. I'll send Uncle Du to drive you home later. Don't be so stingy. Give out more cigarettes and treat more people to wine."

"Um, okay."

"I will be gone for at least half a month, maybe a month at most. I think Coca-Cola and Pepsi will soon launch a counterattack. I will be back after I have dealt with them this time."

"Well, good."

Suddenly there was silence.

The father and son had rarely walked and talked together in recent days. Although they seemed to have nothing to say, they continued to walk forward in tacit understanding, and gradually left the crowd. Neither of them had any intention of looking back. Suddenly, Cao Weiguo said, "Whatever you do outside, be careful not to do anything excessive, especially in your hometown. It will not sound good if it gets out, and I will be laughed at."

Cao Yukun was stunned for a moment, and laughed twice, but did not speak immediately. He walked a distance away before he suddenly said, "Dad, the next twenty years will be the best twenty years for businessmen, but my family background is too low and we don't have enough connections. If I want to start something, I won't be able to organize enough manpower in a short time! When I was in Hongkong, I thought about this matter carefully!"

After a pause, he deliberately slowed down his pace and said as he walked, "Of course there is no shortage of talent, but I have no way to distinguish them at the beginning. I still have to organize things and get things done. Let these talents slowly emerge in the process of doing things, and then I will gather them over. This is the fastest and best way."

"So what should I do at the beginning? I can only use the people and connections I can get my hands on now to get things done and give them things to do! This will allow talents to gradually emerge! When things are done and talents emerge, my talent pool will be slowly built up. At that time, I will be able to do more things and... well, not waste the next twenty years!"

"I know you want to talk about my affairs with Yu Qian, the Song family, Huang Jiaying, President Huang, Xie Xiaoyu, Xie Zhaofang... You must have heard a lot about these things, right? Dad, I admit that I am lustful, as a young man! I don't feel ashamed!... I admit that this matter, if not handled properly, will easily get out of control, but now, I feel that it is basically under my control and there will be no big chaos."

"The Song family and the Xie family have both been rooted in our hometown for ten years. They have a foundation and the ability to help me do things in the initial stage. So I will unite with them. Although I want to help them make money, I am not afraid of them following me to make money. I am willing to share the benefits with them! Then... let Yuqian and Xiaoyu become my wives and help me give birth to two sons. Whether it is Uncle Song or Uncle Xie, they will agree."

"I will unite with several of them. They will help me to guard the base camp, and I will be responsible for selling goods. This is the fastest way. In about two or three years, or three or four years, I will be able to lay a solid foundation, have a steady stream of cash flow, and cultivate a group of talents that can be trusted. At that time, I can go out with confidence! ... The second generation of the Song family and the Xie family are not very satisfactory. My two old fathers-in-law know it very well. Therefore, I am not afraid of conflicts, nor am I afraid that they will be dissatisfied. Next, as long as I can continue to prove that I can indeed make money with them, and even help them rise, then all conflicts will be buried, and all dissatisfaction will be eliminated..."

Cao Yukun was speaking when suddenly, Comrade Cao stopped and turned to look at his son.

He tilted his face slightly upward and squinted his eyes.

Cao Yukun stopped talking in astonishment and looked over.

It’s a nice day today, but the sun is scorching hot early in the morning.

At this time, the sunlight shone on the father and son, and Cao Yukun suddenly felt that there seemed to be something wrong with Comrade Lao Cao.

"Abba, what's wrong?"

Cao Weiguo didn't say anything, but just stared at his son, looking at him seriously.

After a while, he finally withdrew his gaze, sighed faintly, and then started walking forward again.

Cao Yukun caught up with him and heard him whisper, "You've grown up!"

There seemed to be an inexplicable sadness in these words. Cao Yukun laughed dumbly, "Isn't it good to grow up?"

Comrade Lao Cao suddenly put his hands behind his back and said nothing more.

He has always been a man of few words, and now he seems to talk even less.

So Cao Yukun stopped talking and walked with him along the riverside.

After walking a dozen steps, he suddenly spoke again, "Zhang Youguang may want to work outside. He has been coming to our office very frequently in recent days, always trying to get me to talk. I don't know what you mean, so I pretend not to understand. ... He is actually a very capable person and is good at business."

Cao Yukun responded, "Yes, I know. I guessed it a long time ago. But he is actually very arrogant! He usually speaks foul language and likes to insult others, which shows that he is very arrogant in his heart! I have been tormenting him! I have to temper his arrogance until it is almost done before I can use it. But... it doesn't matter to you. After I leave, you can promise him something to keep him hanging and make him owe you a favor, which is also good!"

"Well, good."

Silence again.

Suddenly, at some point, Comrade Lao Cao stopped on his own initiative, and Cao Yukun also stopped. Then, the father and son walked back along the same path.

"It's not urgent, but it has to be done. When you think it's appropriate, you should bring the girl home and let your grandparents meet her. Don't let your family not see her until she's pregnant."

"Yeah, okay! I'll do it when I get back."
