Brilliant Years 1991

Chapter 189 But I have a true heart for you!

It is standard Mandarin, but with some of the ending tones unique to the Jiangnan water towns.

And her voice is actually very recognizable. It is neither sweet nor soft, but has a clear and hard feeling, a bit like her literary temperament and distant and indifferent smile.

Yu Feihong.

Twenty days passed in a flash, and to be honest, Cao Yukun didn't care about her at all.

It's not that I don't want to flirt, it's that I just don't have the time.

That day, because he hugged her and then kissed her, it seemed that he touched the sensitive line deep in her heart, so she turned around and left. Cao Yukun did not chase her or stop her. His plan was to wait out her literary and artistic nature and go back to tease her further at the end of September.

But he didn't expect that not only would he be chased to the hotel by his sister-in-law Song Yuhua that night, but the next day, after just spending the whole day with her, he received news from Jin Zhijian that he should return to Hongkong as soon as possible.

Then I threw my whole heart into Joyoung Electric Appliances.

It's really rare that she would call me on her own initiative after twenty days?
This was a bit of a sudden turn considering the literary and artistic personality that Cao Yukun had known about her during their brief contact with her!

She doesn't look like a goddess anymore.

"It's me! Why are you calling?"

"Do you know who I am?"

"Ha, you're kidding. I told you I like you! How come it's only been twenty days and I can't even recognize your voice? Who do you think I am? A playboy?"

Don’t care whether she is a goddess or not, and don’t care whether she called you suddenly because of something else. In short, she clearly left in anger at the beginning, but now she is calling you on her own initiative. This is already very embarrassing. It already means that she is very proactive, so don’t be pretentious anymore and give her the face she deserves.

But it can be given the other way around.

It’s okay to speak in a cold or even sarcastic tone - but I have a true heart for you!

Of course she understood, so her tone immediately changed, a little coquettishly, "It's been more than 20 days, and you didn't even come to see me?"

"Well, do you know what I have been busy with these twenty days?"

"what?"

“I acquired a public company in Hongkong.”

The person on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, and the voice instantly shrank, "Oh..."

"Then do you know how troublesome it is to acquire a listed company?"

"do not know."

"I have to check the accounts of seven banks, including HSBC and Wing Lung Bank. I have to check the accounts of that company. I have to drink a lot. After the acquisition, I have to sort out the personnel there and smoothly control the company in my own hands... Do you think 20 days is enough?"

There was silence on the other side.

So Cao Yukun also remained silent.

After more than ten seconds, the timid voice from the beginning finally rang out again, "I'm sorry about that day. Mainly because I've never been in a relationship before. I'm a little uncomfortable with it."

Cao Yukun continued to act like a cold and overbearing CEO. "Well, it's understandable that you're not used to it. You can also just tell me what you think and say that you're not used to it and that you need to adapt. But if you push me away and walk away... I won't accept that."

After a moment, she said weakly, "I'm sorry."

Cao Yukun was already furious.

In fact, it was just like before in the Magic City, although he knew that the other party had a dangerous background, he still couldn't help wanting to tease Wang Tingfang. In Hongkong, even though the old lady was 38 years old, he still couldn't help wanting to have sex with her. And even though he knew that the Guo family was a wealthy family in Hongkong, with power and connections far beyond his ability to afford, he still couldn't help himself and pulled down the pants of the eldest princess of the Guo family when they met for the second time. And... this time in the capital, in fact, he almost lost control several times and wanted to do Song Yuhua. It was the same.

Human beings are born with sexual fantasies.

Especially men, their favorite erotic fantasy is to desecrate the goddess.

Let old auntie and Zhou Aimin call you brother and dad, let the rich daughter of the Guo family and the beautiful girl kneel in front of you to serve you... Almost no man can really resist this kind of temptation.

So in fact, a girl like the sister-in-law, who is always cold and arrogant, suddenly shows her gentle, well-behaved and obedient side in front of Cao Yukun. Except for being a little uncomfortable at the beginning, Cao Yukun soon became overwhelmed with desire - after all, the sister-in-law is the sister-in-law, so he still has to hold back!
But Yu Feihong was so humble and even took the initiative to apologize again and again, so Cao Yukun had no reason to endure it. "Well, okay, let's just let it go and not mention it. I'll come to see you after I finish my work in a few days."

At the end of September, Song Yuqian called and said that their military training was over, but Cao Yukun was really busy at the time, so he had to make some promises to get rid of her. He said at that time that he would try to fly to the capital in October to see her and accompany her - now is the perfect time, he can get everything done in one trip.

Hiss...a little excited!
In fact, these few days, he was thinking about whether to let Ah Hao upgrade to be the eldest brother-in-law. His hormones were already running wild and difficult to control, and now Yu Feihong's phone call has stirred it up...

"Well, okay. I'll wait for you then."

On the other end of the phone, the girl's tone finally relaxed completely, even a little cheerful, and she quickly took the initiative to ask: "So, do you need another title on your business card now?"

"Ha, that's true... I have to make new business cards again!"

She also laughed softly, "I haven't congratulated you yet, your business is getting bigger and bigger."

"Well, this is good! Congratulations, I'll take it."

As they were talking, someone knocked on the door. Cao Yukun casually said in Cantonese, "Come in!" Then someone came in, also speaking Cantonese, and said, "Mr. Cao, Chairman Lin Liangjun of Wing Lung Bank called and said that your number couldn't be reached. He wants to arrange a meal with you."

"Oh... I see. I'll call him back later." What Lin Liangjun meant... Hey, he was really petty in doing business. Big brother Jin Zhijian's comments on him were indeed very on point. He was just still worried about the loan that Wing Lung Bank had given to Joyoung Electric. In fact, to put it bluntly, it was only about 2 million Hong Kong dollars.

They had clearly signed a bet agreement and had used his personal wealth to guarantee rigid redemption. However, he became a little worried when he saw that what he did after taking over Joyoung Electric was inconsistent with their expectations and the four directors who were sent over seemed unable to control him.

What a loser!

No wonder Jin Zhijian looks down on him!

When the man left the office and the door closed, Yu Feihong on the other end of the phone seemed very curious and said, "I don't understand a word you said."

Cao Yukun smiled and briefly recounted the conversation just now.

After a while, she said with some envy and admiration in her words, "You are really amazing. The chairman of the board of directors of a big bank in a place like Hongkong would take the initiative to invite you to dinner!"

Wow, goddess, you are so good at flattering!
Cao Yukun smiled and said, "Okay, there are still many documents to be approved, and there will be a small meeting later... Money is not that easy to make, you know, and I have to accompany people for lunch! In fact, what fun can there be in having lunch with an old man? Oh, hang up, I will go to the capital to see you later."

"Well, okay. Then take care of yourself."

"Well, it's an international long-distance call. Do you have money to pay for it?"

“Ha…yes.”

"Hang up."

After hanging up the phone, Cao Yukun picked up the pen again, turned it casually in his hand, and was about to lower his head to look at the document, but he couldn't help but lean back in the chair comfortably - wow, so happy.

Girls like her are often proud and self-centered, and they care about face and strength the most. However, after this phone call, she has actually made her meaning very clear - in order to be with me, she can give up face and strength. So, um, it's good to take the initiative to apologize.

I called Lin Liangjun and boasted a lot. I didn't want to eat anymore because I was busy. Anyway, don't worry, I am absolutely confident that I can get Joyoung Electric out of the mud. Then I hung up the phone.

In fact, Cao Yukun didn't care whether Lin Liangjun was worried or not.

…………

Complete the acquisition, sort out personnel, and observe production.

Although in fact once the acquisition was completed, the subsequent busyness did not prevent Cao Yukun from accompanying his women, and it did not even prevent him from going out to pick up girls, but it is true that he was busy throughout the end of September and the beginning of October.

The outside world as a whole, especially the stock market and shareholders, were also relatively cautious in observing the company, which was renamed Joyoung Electric Appliances. After all, Joyoung Electric Appliances was a listed company, and a series of events before it had caused quite a stir. The new boss's behavior of taking over equity from creditor groups such as HSBC had attracted considerable coverage, and also allowed many Hongkong shareholders to get to know this young and handsome mainland boss.

But as October came, no one had expected that the first thing the new boss did after taking office was to adjust prices. The entire line of products of the original Aijia Electric Appliances, including a rice cooker and an electric kettle, had actually been unsaleable since the company was sealed up and until the equity was changed hands.

On October 249, Cao Yukun personally took charge and called together all the contracted agents. He announced that he would recall all the electric kettles in the agents' inventory for sale and completely settle accounts with each agent. Then, the suggested retail price of rice cookers was adjusted from 666 Hong Kong dollars per unit to yuan per unit.

The agents and salesmen were immediately furious.

After the news came out and was reported by the media, the entire red sky was in an uproar.

The suggested retail price is 249 yuan. Taking into account that shopping malls have very flexible discounts and promotions, the average retail price is basically below 200 Hong Kong dollars, and it’s still not selling!

Now, the price is going to increase?
It's just a price increase, but it has to be increased to nearly three times the original price?
are you crazy?

The whole of Hong Kong was in an uproar, and even after dinner, people would laugh when they talked about this incident.

In response to this, Joyoung Electric Appliances simply gave a very formulaic explanation, saying that in fact the products of the original Aijia Electric Appliances have always been of excellent quality, which led to high costs, but the company's original management has always insisted on the principle of small profit sales, resulting in such good products but not making the expected profits for a long time. This is the core reason why the original Aijia Electric Appliances eventually went bankrupt. Therefore, the new company management decided to create a high-end positioning and high-end image for the new product series, so they raised the selling price.

But no one took this statement seriously, and people in the market were full of ridicule.

Cao Yukun even received a phone call from his cheap brother-in-law Guo Chaofan, who was venting his anger, "Are you crazy? Everyone says that you are going to sell roast chicken as a phoenix, hahahahahahahahahahahaha..."

I didn't even bother to pay attention to him and just hung up.

This kid just wanted to vent his anger on Cao Yukun when he got the chance.

Because the goddess who had looked down on him, sat directly on the back seat of Cao Yukun's motorcycle as soon as they met - but the boy knew nothing, in fact, his elder sister Guo Chaoqiong, who he always looked up to, feared and respected, was stripped naked by Cao Yukun and taken to bed with him the second time he met him!
If he knew the latter, he would probably go even crazier!

You know, in the only two times when he was present with the siblings, Cao Yukun clearly saw that Guo Chaoqiong's two younger brothers were not only very afraid of their eldest sister, but you could clearly sense from their tone, expression, and eyes that it was not just a matter of fear, but respect, and even some admiration.

A guy who made him extremely annoyed and jealous, seduced and slept with the elder sister he respected... Cao Yukun even felt that if they found out, they might kill him!

The matter ended with Aijia Electric's rice cookers being completely withdrawn from all major shopping malls and retail stores in Hong Kong. However, after spending a few days to complete the payment and delivery transactions with each store, Joyoung Electric subsequently rented counters at the two most famous shopping malls in Central and Peninsula with its own money and set up its own directly-operated counters.

Of course, it is sold at the new price.

Within a few days, the two counters even became a sight in Hong Kong, and many people ran over to visit out of curiosity - wow, they really dare to sell their products so expensively!

And there is no discount, just sell it at HK$666 per unit!
Compared with the actual retail price of about HK$350 per unit of several Fuso brands of rice cookers, which are currently the most popular in Hong Kong, it is almost twice as expensive!
Of course, no one bought it!
In fact, no one in the whole sky could understand what the owner of Joyoung Electric Appliances was up to!

But Cao Yukun didn't care. Even though he hadn't sold a single rice cooker since the opening, he still didn't care. He continued to rent the counter and the contract was for one year. He also specifically required that the teller must be young and beautiful ladies, and must treat customers politely - he paid him a high salary and kept him employed.

In a few days, the matter became obsolete and no one paid attention to it anymore.

Only two counters with almost no one were left in the bustling shopping mall.
