Brilliant Years 1991

Chapter 178 I want to get in the car!

As Cao Yukun stepped into the yard, he looked at him with a smile and said politely, "Hello, Director Zhang! Why are you here at my house?"

Zhang Youguang came up to him with a wry smile on his face and offered a cigarette. "I heard from Director Cao that there was a wedding in his family today and he had to take a day off. I knew there was a feast, so I took a day off too and came here to have a drink!"

There was nothing wrong with what he said, so Cao Yukun laughed, pushed his cigarette away, took out his own, and offered him one. He had beaten him up several times, so it was time to give him a sweet treat, "Take mine!"

He was really delighted and quickly took it, "Okay, okay, okay! Your cigarette is good!"

But after handing over the cigarette, Cao Yukun ignored him and turned to look at Huang Jiaying and Xie Xiaoyu, saying, "I specifically requested this yard to be like this. I left this half-meter drop. One is to reduce the amount of earthwork, and the other is that I think this layout looks better. How is it? Is it okay?"

My husband has already said that it was he who requested it to be built like this. Unless you are a fool, who would find fault with it and say it is not good?

The two beauties nodded. One said, "I think it looks good this way too!" The other said, "It's pretty good! I heard from Huang Jiapeng that the reinforced concrete was driven very deep down here?"

Cao Yukun nodded, shook off Zhang Youguang, walked up the stairs and entered the house, and answered, "It was also my request. We must dig three meters down and use high-grade steel bars and cement to make the foundation solid! Just tying the steel cage and pouring cement to make the foundation, from the bottom to where we are, the skeleton is more than four meters high!"

Standing under the eaves, turning around and looking back, yes, this is the feeling he wanted of seeing thousands of miles of misty waves, green mountains and green bamboos at a glance - it really has to be built to this height!

Both girls exclaimed "Wow".

In fact, Huang Jiaying had only heard Huang Jiapeng mention that the foundation and steel cages were dug quite deep over there, but she didn't expect them to be dug that deep.

But then she thought that it might be for the purpose of preventing landslides, so she stopped asking any more questions.

After all, this house is not like the old house of the Cao family, which is basically built in the middle of a valley with undulating mountains. From the perspective of terrain, it is safer, but this one is built halfway up the mountain.

However, at this moment, she looked up and saw Cao Yukun standing under the eaves with his hands on his hips, looking into the distance, but he was saying, "In about ten years, I will make enough money. By then, I will come back to live with my parents, grandpa and grandma, and you and the children."

Huang Jiaying narrowed her eyes and looked at him.

It was wonderful to see him so deeply and emotionally again - in fact, I had known for a long time that, unlike his bohemian appearance, he was actually very homesick in his heart, and he especially valued his hometown in the mountains!

If she hadn't known this, when Huang Jiaying had a quarrel with him, she would not have taken the opportunity to ask that after the house in her hometown was built, she would come and live here to help Cao Yukun take care of his parents - because she had already known for a long time that no matter how Cao Yukun messed around outside, as long as she stayed here, she would definitely be his first wife.

Unfortunately, he was very stubborn and refused to agree, and I didn't dare to insist too much.

In the end, I had no choice but to let it go.

Even this time, if it weren't for the fact that things were going well for him recently and Xie Xiaoyu was pregnant, and if it weren't for my performance in the past month or so, including helping him to sort out the personnel affairs in the factory, looking after the decoration of the garden, having dinner with Xie Xiaoyu and building a good relationship with her, he should have been quite satisfied with her. So, with the help of two people and the child in Xie Xiaoyu's belly, I finally came up the mountain.

Otherwise, I guess neither myself nor Xie Xiaoyu would be willing to bring him back here!
I have never been here, I have never been to the mountain, I am just a mistress, just a little lover!

Only after coming here, calling dad, mom, grandpa and grandma, and even getting a master bedroom in his mountain villa, can this position be considered secure.

And once it is stable, it will last a lifetime.

Huang Jiaying knew him too well. This guy was lustful and greedy, but he had a fatal flaw, which was that compared to a real playboy, he was too loyal.

Of course, from another perspective, it can also be said that the possessiveness is extremely strong and he will not let go of what he has grasped!
His personality is that as long as he has you in his arms, as long as you don't betray him or leave him on your own initiative, he will basically be willing to support you for the rest of your life.

It’s just that the concepts of raising and nurturing are completely different.

In this regard, Huang Jiaying is more or less greedy, she wants half of this man!
Half is good!
Take control of all his properties and women in Fuping County, as well as his family, parents, grandparents, and even his future children and those of Xie Xiaoyu!
As for how he spends his time outside, don’t worry about it at all. As long as she can hold on here, Huang Jiaying believes that half of this man will belong to her!

Look at his heroic aura, look at his unrivaled handsome face, and then think about all the amazing wealth-making things he has done in the past six months or so... I'm already half happy!
So she smiled and walked towards him.

"Okay, then let's move here together!"

…………

At this moment, Cao Yukun was taking his two wives to visit his new home as if no one was around. Zhang Youguang didn't know whether to speak or not, to leave or to stay. He was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to do.

He originally thought that this was a rare opportunity to talk. As the saying goes, one should not hit a smiling person. Relying on the fact that he had flattered Cao Weiguo a lot in recent times and that there was a happy event in the Cao family, and knowing that Cao Yukun was going to bring his wife home, he took the initiative to come up and try to start a conversation.

As a result, I took great pains to choose such a place to wait for him, but who would have thought that not only did he bring two girls with him, but he also seemed to have no intention of giving me a chance to speak!
The two brides were certainly beautiful, no, they were absolutely stunning beauties. Moreover, not only did he bring two home at once, but they also had their own status. They were both the precious daughters of some of the most important people in the county. This was undoubtedly a great piece of gossip... But how could Zhang Youguang possibly focus on this?

The contract for the sock factory was signed yesterday, and the sock factory now belongs to Cao Yukun!

Based on Zhang Youguang's recent understanding of Cao Yukun, he knew that this man always planned before taking action. Whether it was the legendary trip to Shanghai to speculate on subscription certificates, or the sudden trip to Hongkong to engage in sales after taking over the beverage factory, he almost always accomplished it in one go. Without sufficient thinking and planning beforehand, how could he have succeeded so easily and so quickly?

Similarly, now that he has bought the sock factory, it is likely that he already has a very mature idea in his mind on how to run the sock factory going forward.

In the past two months, with more and more attention paid to him and a deeper understanding of him, Zhang Youguang realized that he was not only a man with a unique vision and steady, accurate and ruthless actions, but also had his own way of employing people.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just talk about the beverage factory.

Once he decided to run a beverage factory, he ignored all the personnel disputes in the factory and directly left the factory's management affairs to work in sales. Once the sales channels were opened and he started to make money, he turned around and promoted Huang Jiaying. Originally, everyone thought Huang Jiaying was just a girlfriend of his. Who would have thought that this girl was so powerful? In the past month, it was said that she made drastic personnel adjustments at the beverage factory. After the adjustments, she quickly consolidated the entire beverage factory!
This is no easy skill!
Even if it was definitely due to Cao Yukun's bedside teaching, it was not easy for her to play to such a perfect level! This girl is a capable person!
And there was Tao Mingqi, who was originally just an office director of a beverage factory, responsible for doing menial tasks like serving tea and distributing documents. Yet, he was directly promoted by him and thrown to the Magic City!
As a result, after a month or two, who in the beverage factory dared not say that Director Tao was capable?
Everything from communication between superiors and subordinates, transportation and customs declaration to warehousing and shipping was handled clearly and neatly - this must have been due to the foundation laid by Cao Yukun in the past, but the fact that he was able to take over so smoothly and do it well to the point where he is now is not easy!

There is a lot of knowledge here!
These things, not to mention hiding them from myself who is watching closely, in fact, anyone who is a little bit interested and pays attention to the beverage factory will know and be convinced!
Well, a boss who is so powerful, so good at planning before taking action, and so good at employing people, now that he has decided to take over the sock factory, do you dare to say that he has not yet selected a candidate for the management of the sock factory?
He must have it!
And now, I just want to show myself in front of him before he officially promotes someone, hoping to grab a chance for myself - I just want to go back to the sock factory, I want to continue working in the sock factory! I must go back with glory after falling from there!
But no one gives me a chance...

The two of them... uh, the three of them, went into the house together, and soon seemed to go up the stairs to the second floor. Zhang Youguang stayed in the corridor on the first floor, smoking anxiously and pacing back and forth.

He thought carefully, how could he impress Cao Yukun and make him give him at least a chance to speak and explain his strategy for running the sock factory?

This opportunity... is so important!

Listen, listen to what others say, a big boss is a big boss, and he will say that in another ten years, he will almost make enough money - when it comes to money, how much is enough?

But when he says that, you don't feel like he is bragging at all!
It is said that he can earn tens of millions every month now, and that is just in the factory in Fuping. It is said that if he sells these drinks to Hongkong, he will earn even more there!

I’m afraid it won’t be more than 20 million a month!
If you keep making money this way, in ten years, won’t you be earning enough to last for several lifetimes?
If his instant noodle factory and socks factory can also be run in the future, in the next ten years, it will be a huge amount of wealth that he can't eat or drink for several lifetimes...

No, I must catch this bus!

I want to get in the car!

Finally... they came down.

Zhang Youguang came closer again and offered the cigarette.

"Hey, Director Zhang, you haven't left yet, aren't you going back over there to wait for the feast to start?"

"Haha, no hurry, no hurry! I have something to discuss with you, Mr. Cao."

Cao Yukun smiled when he heard this. This time he did not refuse. He took the cigarette from him and lit it with the help of the lighter he handed over. He took a deep breath and exhaled the smoke, but he still did not intend to listen to what Zhang Youguang wanted to say. Instead, he directly said, "Sock factory, right?"

Zhang Youguang was lighting a cigarette. He was stunned for a moment when he heard the words. He almost burned his hand. He quickly lit the cigarette. He smiled and wanted to go around a little to appear less anxious. "I heard that you bought the sock factory! That's great. Congratulations!"

Cao Yukun smiled again, and gradually turned it into a half-smile as he looked at him, "You are a capable person, but you are too proud! You are not brave enough, and you are timid when doing things!"

"Uh……"

Zhang Youguang was stunned for a moment, and at the same time, his heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

Is this... a direct death sentence for me?
It was not surprising that he could guess that he intended to return to the sock factory. We were all smart people. He had been getting so close to the father and son of the Cao family recently. If he couldn't even see this, then he would have wasted his time on such a big career. Even if he couldn't see it, his father Cao Weiguo would have reminded him.

However, isn't it a bit too much to sentence me to death?
Zhang Youguang opened his mouth to speak, but Cao Yukun continued not to give him a chance to speak. He said directly, "You know the sock factory better than I do! I'll give you a chance. I'm going to the sock factory to take over tomorrow. When the time comes, you can come with me..."

Hearing this, Zhang Youguang's eyes suddenly lit up.

Cao Yukun continued, "Start from... from tomorrow! I'll give you three days. If I let you be the director of the sock factory, how do you plan to run this factory? Who do you want to hire? Who do you want to hire? What's your reason? What product direction do you plan to develop? How do you sell it? What are the characteristics? How do you promote it? How do you develop the market? What are your goals? Write me a report in just three days. Let me weigh your weight!"

"You passed the test. You are from a sock factory..."

As he spoke, he suddenly pulled out a beautiful golden lighter from his hip pocket, opened the cap with a ding, lit it, and then closed it again. "The salary I gave Tao Mingqi from the beverage factory was just raised, 6,000 yuan a year. This lighter, a French brand, is also worth 6,000..."

He put the lighter into the upper pocket of Zhang Youguang's shirt. "This is your first year's salary! As long as your report passes, this lighter will be yours. I'll give you a year to do something."

"If your report isn't shit..."

As he spoke, he took the lighter out of Zhang Youguang's pocket and shook it, "Then it's still mine!"

"How about it? Do you want to do it or not?"

Zhang Youguang was a little confused by his tricks. He was neither happy nor sad. One moment he was offered a salary of 6,000 yuan a year, and the next moment he was offered a lighter as salary… But at this moment, he quickly came to his senses, his eyes lit up, "Do it! Why not!"

He quickly perked up.

It turned out that the boss had seen through my thoughts a long time ago. It was ridiculous that I even wanted to make one last attempt. He was right. I valued face too much and was too timid. Now I really had the chance and I must seize it!

I want to get in the car. "As long as you give me a chance! I can guarantee that even if you run the sock factory yourself, you won't be much better than me! Uh... I can at least be as good as you, as good as you... half as good!"

"Don't laugh! This is not easy! Although I think I'm good at business, especially sock factories, but the way you run a beverage factory, I... I really can't do it! You're not doing business, you're not even as fast as using a rake to collect money! You're using a water pipe to collect money!"

Cao Yukun laughed out loud.

Then he looked back and said to Huang Jiaying and Xie Xiaoyu: "Our Director Zhang has learned how to flatter!"
