Brilliant Years 1991

Chapter 181: Follow him, there is hope.

It was not even six o'clock in the morning, but Cao Yukun had already gotten up and was running.

The current Fuping County is simply an old county town with a century of accumulation and a mixture of old and new houses. There are no so-called parks, but there are many places for morning exercises because there are almost no cars in the county.

There are no private cars or buses.

He ran and boxed, making himself sweat, then slowly half ran and half walked back.

By the time I returned to Zhao Xiaolan's courtyard, the sweat had almost stopped and I felt sticky all over. I got some water from an old-fashioned pressurized well and washed myself, which was very satisfying.

However, after wiping the water off his body, he returned to the bedroom naked, only to see Zhao Xiaolan still sleeping, lying on her side with the quilt in her arms, her underwear rolled up, and half of her buttocks exposed.

Normally, it was about six forty at this time, and it was almost time for her to get up, but today, she was still sleeping soundly - after all, she had been single for a long time, and she really couldn't stand Cao Yukun's tormenting. At this moment, Cao Yukun got up, opened the door, and pumped the water, but she was still sleeping like a dead person.

Cao Yukun sat down and drank some water. He peeked into the bedroom twice from the sofa, but he couldn't help it. She was not wearing anything at the moment, so he simply skipped the step of taking her off. He went straight back to the bedroom, pulled down her panties, and lay on top of her. There was already a gurgling sound, and Zhao Xiaolan woke up in a daze, humming softly as she woke up. She was in a daze for a long time before she finally understood what was going on.

"Brother...Brother..."

She called softly.

Asking her, a woman in her thirties, to call a 19-year-old boy "brother", to be honest, at the beginning yesterday, she really couldn't bring herself to call him that, but gradually she became familiar and adapted to it.

Now he calls me brother every time he opens his mouth.

She seemed to be more calm than the other old lady on Hongkong's side, and seemed to like this title.

But she soon began to beg for mercy.

"Brother, I'm already over 30, not a little girl anymore, please forgive me..."

But fortunately, although the desire was strong in the morning, it was over quickly. She was half moaning and half crying, begging for mercy and feeling happy. It was only seven or eight minutes, and suddenly she started to have sex and she peed again.

Last night after dinner, Cao Yukun cleaned her up and made her pee twice.

It feels more moisturized after urinating.

After a few minutes, Cao Yukun finally felt satisfied.

This time she couldn't fall asleep even if she wanted to. She lay there, half dead, motionless, and only complained a few words, weakly, "You are really a donkey!"

Cao Yukun lay on her for a while to catch his breath, then he got up, cleaned himself up, and went back to sit on the sofa to smoke - the bed was wet and he couldn't lie on it.

After finishing a cigarette, he stood up, put on his damp clothes, and prepared to go back to the garden next door, with a ruthless attitude, "Let's go, you can rest by yourself!"

Zhao Xiaolan did remember to have breakfast with him, but she couldn't get up at the moment, so she groaned, "I need to take it easy, you go back and find them!"

As a result, Cao Yukun had just picked up the mobile phone on the coffee table when, coincidentally, the mobile phone rang. When the call was connected, Cao Yukun was stunned and asked, "Uncle?"

The call was actually from his second uncle Cao Weihong.

It’s not even 7:30 yet…

"Ah Kun, is it convenient for you to come to the city recently?"

Uh... since you're asking whether it's convenient or not, then how can it be convenient?
However, he is the second uncle, so he said, "It is certainly convenient. You don't have to stop by. Second uncle, what do you want?"

Cao Weihong hesitated for a while on the other end of the phone, but finally spoke directly, "Did you say recently that you wanted to open a factory in the city to make electrical appliances?"

"what?"

Cao Yukun was stunned for a moment, but he immediately remembered that he had talked about this with the city's second-in-command at a drinking party on the night when he signed the sock factory acquisition agreement with the county a few days ago. But even with him, he didn't dare to say it for sure. He just said that he was considering acquiring an electrical appliance company in Hongkong recently. If it succeeded, he would consider returning to Xizhou City to investigate and see if he could open a factory for production.

It's just to brainwash the leader!

Not only do you have to feed him the magic potion, but you have to feed him frequently. If you feed him three times, as long as one of them is put into practice, he will not dare to take it lightly and he will worship you as a Buddha!
But I only mentioned this matter once that day, and there were no more than 20 to 30 people present who heard about it, and they were all officials from Xizhou City and Fuping County. How could my second uncle know about it?
"Uncle... who told you this?"

Cao Weihong said, "Who else can I listen to? Those people who want you to come and build a factory here! Yesterday, a few people from the district, that is, Wuxing District, came to our factory to find me and try to get close to me. After a long time, I finally figured out that they knew I was your second uncle, so they asked me about this matter. I said I didn't know! I didn't know in the first place, but just now the factory suddenly called my home and said that the district leaders would come to our factory for research this morning and specifically asked me to accompany them..."

Cao Yukun's CPU was already running at high speed, but he was talking nonsense to Cao Weihong, "Isn't your factory a deputy court-level unit? What are you doing going to investigate a department-level unit in the district?"

Cao Weihong spoke in a tone that was 99% identical to Comrade Lao Cao's, "You know shit!"

After a pause, he explained, "The factory is built on someone else's land, and we pay taxes to them. But water, electricity, children's schooling, road construction, land, and loans, none of these can be done without the support of the district? The company has not been doing well in recent years, you know that! You can't be tough! The district is the boss!"

OK... I think I understand...

No matter who said it, in short, when I said this, although I was in a bar and not many people heard it, this news has spread in recent times.

Cao Yukun, the richest man in Fuping County, a Hong Kong businessman who is also very good at exports, may think that what he said is nonsense, but others do not think so.

They are serious about this.

At the beginning, Cao Yukun casually said that he was going back to the "city". This city was interesting. For those who heard what he said at the time, even if he was the second-in-command of the city, going back to Fuping County was of course going back to Xizhou City. The second-in-command probably didn't care. But if this news spread to the districts under Xizhou City...

OK, got it. Attract investment.

In a flash, Cao Yukun replied, "Uncle, don't pay attention to them. This matter has not been settled yet. No matter who asks, just say you don't know. If they ask you in depth, just say that you and my father have fallen out and have no contact with each other!"

"You fart!"

He started to curse, and then Cao Weihong laughed again, "You little bastard, how can you lie like that? When did your father and I become enemies? You are just talking nonsense!...Okay, I understand what you mean, I will pretend to be confused!"

Cao Yukun smiled and said, "Yes, just pretend to be confused!"

The phone hangs up.

Cao Yukun got up to leave, but when he turned around, he saw Zhao Xiaolan lying on the head of the bed, looking at him with a concerned look on her face.

He pointed his finger at her and said, "Don't speak carelessly. Don't report anything without my consent. Follow my pace. I have my own arrangements. I will definitely give you what I promised you! Do you understand?"

Deputy County Magistrate Zhao agreed obediently, "I understand, brother!"

…………

I went back to the garden, changed into clean clothes, and finally felt refreshed.

They were both there, and had gotten up early, planning to go out for breakfast together. When they saw Cao Yukun coming back early in the morning, Huang Jiaying looked at him speechlessly. Xie Xiaoyu leaned over to smell him while he was changing clothes.

Cao Yukun smiled and pushed her away.

The family of three went out to have breakfast together again, but this time, there was no fourth person at the table.

After breakfast, Li Xuegen drove the Mercedes-Benz into the county government and sent Xie Xiaoyu to work. Then he turned south and went to the beverage factory to sit for an hour and look at the latest document summary. Then Cao Yukun left the beverage factory and went to the sock factory. In terms of ownership, the Fuping County Sock Factory now belongs to Hongkong's Qinyuanchun Investment Holding Company, and Cao Yukun is currently renaming the factory. He is too lazy to think of a new name, so he plans to call it Langsha Socks.

When Langsha Socks, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Qinyuanchun Investment Holding Company, is officially established, Fuping County Socks Factory will become its wholly-owned subsidiary manufacturer.

And now, Zhang Youguang is the director of the sock factory.

Next, Langsha Socks was established, and he would become the deputy general manager of Langsha Socks.

In short, Cao Yukun did what he said. Since he had read the report he submitted and nodded in approval, it was natural to give him a year's chance to do it.

If he can really make achievements, Cao Yukun will not even hesitate to give him a big reward, give him shares, or even just give him shares directly - when hiring people, one must first delegate power, second, pay, and third, supervise.

It’s a pity that Xie Xiaoyu is too naive and unworthy of use, so when Langsha Socks is established, either Cao Yukun will take action himself, or temporarily consider letting Huang Jiaying come over and take the title of general manager.

That’s what supervision means.

When Zhang Youguang does a really great job on this job...that's another story.

In the past two or three months, after making his second fortune by selling beverages in Hongkong and establishing his own industry, Cao Yukun has been thinking about two issues.

The first is industrial ideas and investment opportunities, and the second is how to select, employ and control people.

As for how he should behave and what kind of person he should present to the outside world, he has actually thought it through thoroughly and doesn't need to think about it anymore. He just needs to act according to circumstances.

Sitting in the office, reading documents, attending meetings, checking samples after the production line resumed production, and discussing the specific next steps with people in the factory, including Zhang Youguang.

There are only two points: technology and sales.

Initially, Cao Yukun felt that he needed to invest some money, either to upgrade the technology or to purchase two better production lines. However, Zhang Youguang seemed to want to prove his ability. He patted Cao Yukun's chest in his office and said that he could contact him and negotiate the price for the machine first. He only needed half a year. After half a year, the money earned by the factory would definitely be enough to purchase new equipment - meaning, Mr. Cao, you don't need to add any more money.

Cao Yukun laughed and gave him the opportunity to prove himself.

But after he went out, Cao Yukun continued to meet people and chat as usual. A considerable number of those who were willing to stay and leave the establishment of state-owned enterprise workers and state cadres with the factory to become employees of the new factory, that is, people who actually worked for private enterprises, were Zhang Youguang's old subordinates. However, they were willing to stay, not for Zhang Youguang, but for Cao Yukun.

Boss Cao is capable, knows how to do business, and is willing to raise the wages of workers and cadres...

Follow him and you will find hope.

With such an opportunity, even if Cao Yukun trusted Zhang Youguang's personal ability, it was obviously impossible for him to sit back and let him completely run the factory - he had to intervene from the beginning, get familiar with the factory and the people in it.

In other words, the production and operation are under the control of the factory director Zhang Youguang, but Cao Yukun must have the ability to kick Zhang Youguang out at any time while ensuring that the production and operation of the factory are not affected in the slightest.

With this ability, Zhang Youguang would just do his job honestly and would never dare to think of any crooked ways.

Just like now, Cao Yukun can completely rest assured to hand over the beverage factory to Huang Jiaying, and the operation of Hongkong to Fang Zhihao - this thing is called control.

…………

On September 9, Huang Jiaying led people to leave Fuping County, first going to Shanghai, and then from Shanghai to the capital, considering acquiring land there to build a new beverage factory.

After taking over, Huang Jiaying quickly straightened out the internal affairs of the beverage factory. In the next one or two months, she will be even busier because she will have to fly around the country for inspections.

The only trip that had been scheduled but cancelled by Cao Yukun was an inspection trip to Qiandao Lake in neighboring Hangzhou.

Well, I have already promised Deputy County Magistrate Zhao!

Afterwards, Cao Yukun received a call from Hu Zihong, and was surprised to learn that Huang Jiaying had asked her out for dinner in the evening - the two of them knew each other, and were even familiar with each other. After all, Cao Yukun had brought Huang Jiaying and the others to live in Shanghai for two or three months, and during that time they had gone to Hu Zihong's tea restaurant for dinner more than eight or ten times. But in fact, their relationship had not been very good in the past.

Of course, it’s not a bad thing that Huang Jiaying is so proactive.

Cao Yukun had no intention of paying attention to the intrigues between the girls at all.

As long as the fight doesn't get too intense, he doesn't intend to intervene.

What's more, for him, the situation in Fuping County has now been stabilized. Huang Jiaying and Xie Xiaoyu have reached a tacit understanding. Even if the old nest is stable, then for him, the disturbances of other people will not be a big problem - the only thing that still makes him a little afraid is the two big stars on Hongkong's side.

Because that involves public opinion issues, which is more troublesome.

However, he had already made preparations - to buy a villa, a big villa, to house his beautiful wife.

In short, he always knew that his most important task was to make money!

Up to now, I have already had a certain amount of capital, and the meaning of making money has even become more detailed, that is, to choose the right industry to enter!

As for the rest... I just feel good about it!
As women, it’s inevitable that they don’t quarrel!

On September 9, Cao Yukun also left Fuping. This time he was in a hurry. He did not even choose to notify Hu Zihong. He drove directly to the airport and returned to Hongkong that afternoon.

I have agreed with my aunt that her due date will be September 9th, which is her fertile period.

It’s hard to say anything else about Cao Yukun, but he always delivers on his promises and never even delays - as expected, the old aunt was very happy.

But due to the delay, Cao Yukun only stayed in Hongkong for five days.

And the most important thing was not to come and plant seeds for the old aunt, but that he wanted to meet with Fang Zhihao and discuss the issue of developing the Lijiaopo market face to face. The entire company even held a meeting to collectively discuss the entire promotion plan proposed by Fang Zhihao - in fact, it was a replica of the three tricks that Cao Yukun used when he was doing the Hongkong market, but Cao Yukun still wanted to participate in it personally and take the lead in this matter.

When the discussion is over, the plan is finalized and it is time to implement it, it is time for Ah Hao to show his personal abilities and showcase his skills.

The total publicity and promotion budget is three million, and the main products are TV advertising, newspaper advertising and poster advertising.

Even the commercials don't need to be re-shot. Almost 70 to 80 percent of Lijiaopo's popular culture, especially entertainment, is influenced by the Hongkong entertainment circle. Be it Zhou Aimin or Andy Lau, their popularity there is no less than that of Hongkong.

Just re-dub the audio for the commercial and broadcast it directly.

then……

Stay at an old lady's house, eat the food she cooks, stay in a rented house, spend a night with Zhou Aimin, and then stay in Miss Guo Chaoqiong's "small sea view room" to have a great time.

He held a meeting at the company, visited his elder brother Jin Zhijian, then visited his friend and cheap father-in-law Guo Hongying, and then made an appointment with Sun Shangbin who happened to be in Hongkong for afternoon tea...

In one word, busy.

Later at the old aunt's house, unexpectedly but not so unexpectedly, she received a call from Fang Lijing. She heard from her brother when he came home that he knew Cao Yukun was back, but in front of the old aunt, Cao Yukun still didn't respond to her and only said that he was leaving soon - not because he was afraid that the old aunt would be jealous. The old aunt was now very well fed, whether it was sex, pocket money, or the expected big villa, she was very satisfied, mainly because she couldn't beat time.

Song Yuqian went to the capital to attend university and has been gone for more than half a month. As her boyfriend and her husband, it would have been fine if I hadn't seen her off, but it's really unacceptable that I haven't gone to see her until now.

So, on the morning of September 9, Cao Yukun took an early flight to the capital.

When he arrived at the Capital University of Posts and Telecommunications, he originally wanted to give Song Yuqian a surprise. However, when he asked at the school, he found out that the military training for their level had been temporarily added and they were taken out of the city for training!
