Brilliant Years 1991

Chapter 146 Time Management Master
It's a bit... complicated.

During this trip back to Hongkong, Cao Yukun once again experienced the complicated feelings.

To be honest, Cao Yukun never felt that he was in love with anyone since he traveled back to this time and space. If he had to say that he was in love with someone, then he felt that when he returned to Fuping County from Shanghai to date Song Yuqian this spring, and Song Yuqian wrapped her pocket money that she had saved for who knows how long, wrapped it in a completed test paper, and handed it to him, Cao Yukun admitted that he did feel sentimental.

But... I said it again, the experiences of the last few years of his previous life had almost made him lose the ability to pursue girls, and he was even a little unsure about what love was.

He asked himself, since he traveled through time, he had had relationships with a total of five women and girls, which could basically be understood as the impulse of his lower body - a very small component, and it did have a bit of a planning meaning.

Why talk about feelings, love and so on? It's so tiring!

In fact, it’s more than just love.

In his spare time, Cao Yukun vaguely realized that since his travel through time, even when he was doing business, even when he was on the particularly depressing and anxious trip to the Magic City to purchase certificates this spring, he had always done it with a strong mentality of playing with the world - if it succeeds, it succeeds, if it doesn't, forget it!
Maybe it’s because I always have this feeling deep in my heart - after all, only half of this life is mine, or maybe, who knows if all this is just a dream before I die! Why take it so seriously!

So, if you want to speculate on warrants, then go all in and get the biggest one!
If you win, you will make a lot of money; if you lose, you will jump into the river!
I am definitely anxious and worried, but after all, I still want to win.

But winning...seems to be just winning.

I was happy for a few days, but then I felt that it was just like that - I was just very rich!

I always feel that this life is not mine, and I always feel that this life lacks some sincerity and truth.

However, it is these women whom I actually care the least about, but at such a moment in my life, they make me suddenly feel a little bit of the so-called... taste of love.

They love so seriously!
They live their lives so seriously!
"Huh...you really made tea, lend me a cup! Um...what kind of tea is this? Oh, this, did you bring it? Yellow tea? Oh, your grandpa...grandpa! Wow, the tea made by grandpa, hmm, delicious...hahaha, I can't take it anymore, I'm sweating all over, wait for me to take a shower...ah!..."

In the end, the two of them went to take a bath together.

A new posture was developed.

She held the water pipe with both hands, letting the scalding water continuously wash over her smooth back. The way her body thrust forward... was very beautiful.

After the two of them finished taking a shower, they returned to the living room one after another, and lay on the sofa together with the air conditioner on. She leaned sideways in Cao Yukun's arms, and was almost unwilling to move at all.

Until... Cao Yukun's stomach started to growl.

She smiled, and finally moved her body, lying on Cao Yukun, "There's nothing good to eat at home, why didn't you call me in advance and tell me, are you going out to eat?"

Then let’s go out to eat.

But when going out with a big star of her level, you still have to be careful about your disguise.

She had done some research on the better restaurants in the area, and specifically found a Huaiyang cuisine restaurant. It was considered high-end, and at least the food tasted good to Cao Yukun.

While eating, she talked about what she had done in the past half month after Cao Yukun left. Mainly, she had a physical examination, waited for news of her pregnancy but was disappointed, called her mother to ask how to get pregnant more easily, etc. By the way, she also bought some clothes for Cao Yukun.

Then he asked about Cao Yukun's business.

"A few days ago, your company sued someone for defamation. It was quite a scene. Your deputy general manager is quite good at talking. I remember you said he used to be a lawyer, right? He's very good. He would definitely win an argument! In the end, I think both sides got fifty lashes. In the end, he still paid your company one dollar in court, didn't he?"

"It's normal that he didn't apologize! He's a celebrity and relies on his face to make a living. Face is more important than money! ...Hahaha, you slandered the judge, be careful or I'll report you!"

"Oh, the shipment is fast! Wow, 9850 tons? For the whole of July? Oh, so that's one and a half months? I don't understand, how many tons are these? Oh, wow, so that's a lot! Then you really make a lot of money!... No, I saw a newspaper report saying that you make at least million every month!"

"..."

In fact, she doesn't know anything about doing business, probably because she has never been exposed to it in the past 30 years. If you ask her about film pay and actor positioning, she probably knows it very well.

In fact, the slogan "A mouthful of sour and sweet plums" has become so popular in Hongkong that it has boosted sales tremendously. Don't look at the fact that from the broadcast of the advertisement to the end of July, there were nearly 50 days, and the total shipment volume of sour plum juice was less than 10,000 tons. But in fact, according to the news from the agent Huagang Trading, this result was achieved when many retail stores below were complaining about shortages. There is no other way. To increase the production capacity to 12,000 tons per month is not something that can be accomplished by just talking. Even if everyone works very hard, it takes a long time to really increase the production capacity.

So...this sales volume is actually the maximum production capacity!

Of course it’s very profitable!

According to previous rough calculations, the gross profit of each ton of beverages is about 5000 Hong Kong dollars. Now that the company is fully operational, supply, sales and payment collection have formed a fixed process. Yiren Kangyin is completely alive and can gradually come up with detailed accounts - after deducting the company's operating costs, including labor, rent and all other expenses, and then deducting taxes and fees, the net profit per ton is about 4300 Hong Kong dollars.

Cao Yukun is already very content.

This means that even if sales do not expand, and he only maintains his current sales and market position, he can still steadily earn more than 40 million Hong Kong dollars from the market every month!
You know, Hongkong is a tropical city with almost no winter! Here, the sales of beverages hardly fluctuate throughout the year!

That is to say, whatever sales it will have in July, it will also sell like that in December if nothing goes wrong!

By the end of the year, if Cao Yukun can successfully achieve his sales target of 2.5 tons, then Yiren Kangyin's net profit this year will be more than million Hong Kong dollars!
Scary!

And in fact, this is most likely not all.

To be honest, Hongkong, one of the four Asian tigers, is a benchmark in many aspects including business, people's livelihood, culture, entertainment, fashion and so on in the entire Chinese-speaking cultural area, in East Asia and Southeast Asia.

If a beverage is selling like hot cakes in Hong Kong, theoretically it is possible that it can continue to be exported at any time - radiating outward. It is hard to say about Japan and South Korea, but in Southeast Asia, there has always been no shortage of fans of Hong Kong products and popular consumption.

When we were still in Fuping, during the routine phone reporting every two days, Mr. Hao reported that a company in Southeast Asia had contacted our company and wanted to obtain the agency rights for sour plum juice there.

When Cao Yukun came back this time, General Ahao reported it to him in person.

Cao Yukun plans to hold a meeting specifically for this matter in a few days, and arrange for General Ahao to go to Southeast Asia to take a look at the market conditions, and then determine whether it is necessary to spend some effort to develop the market there - just find an agent locally and let him pick up the goods, and sell as much as possible there, and you will always make money anyway. This is one approach, and personally investigating the market, formulating targeted publicity and marketing plans based on the market's particularities, investing a certain amount of market development funds, doing it seriously, and striving to achieve great results, is another approach.

At present, Cao Yukun still tends to the latter.

The company has positive cash flow, and in just one month, the funds have become more and more abundant, and will become more and more abundant in the future. So if we want to do it, just like when we did the red air market ourselves, invest some money and do it seriously. It is something that does not have any risk.

If it fails, it will only be a few million dollars, which is completely affordable. But if it succeeds, Hongkong is an example! The harvest is gratifying!

Although it is estimated that the probability of that place is not as good as Hongkong, but Bangkok, Singapore, Jakarta... Southeast Asia has such a large population, and there are the so-called Four Asian Tigers. Before the financial crisis in 97, it was still quite powerful, especially the big cities there, which are now very prosperous!

The consumption volume of those markets combined is definitely greater than that of Hongkong alone!
All in all, it's worth investing money in.

However, recently Cao Yukun only planned to arrange for Ah Hao to lead the team to the front, but he himself did not plan to leave Hongkong - it was very simple, the sour plum juice was selling well, and it seemed to be getting hotter and hotter, but the two major colas had not responded yet!

In Cao Yukun's opinion, it was impossible for them to remain unresponsive.

Hongkong is the foundation, he must stay here so as to be ready to deal with any tricks that may be used over there at any time - only after everyone has used a few tricks and the sales volume and market position are still stable, can it be considered stable!

Only then did Cao Yukun dare to truly let go and was no longer afraid of being away for a long time.

Of course, these considerations cannot be told to Li Qingxia or Zhou Aimin - next, going to Southeast Asia to investigate the market and do marketing will become his new excuse!

For example, today, when seeing Zhou Aimin off, Cao Yukun told him that he was going on a business trip again today, to Southeast Asia, and it would probably take two or three days for him to come back!

So the next two days will belong to the old aunt.

Then I told my aunt that I was going on a business trip to Southeast Asia...
