Brilliant Years 1991

Chapter 191 Cao Yukun has always been tough!
"Morning boss!"

"morning!"

"Boss, you look so handsome today!"

"Well, thank you. Then please tell me when I was not handsome. If you can't answer, you will be fired!"

"Hahaha!"

Strangely enough, Cao Yukun, as a technical geek in his previous life, always considered himself to be unsociable. You wouldn't say he was stupid, certainly not, he was not dumb, he was quick-witted and had good on-the-spot reactions, but he was indeed a talkative person, not good at it, and to some extent, not willing to express himself.

It's simply shameless to flatter someone.

The education my father gave me since I was a child was to study hard, work hard, and be a down-to-earth person. He also has a famous saying: Gold will always shine.

I am still not shining even in my thirties.

He just worked hard. He never said nice things, created an atmosphere, or built relationships.

Not really, and not really willing to.

After crossing over, the original owner's Red Hare, Cao Yukun, talked a lot, but he was stupid, and all he said was foolish and stupid. During the first period of time after crossing over, Cao Yukun deeply felt how depressing the negative comments and reputation that the original owner had left on him in the local area and county were, so at first, he actually planned to leave his hometown and go to a big city to work.

But later, he went to hang out on the beach.

It seemed that unconsciously, and no one knew who opened up whom, or perhaps, the personalities, cognitions, habits, etc. of the two lives were gradually becoming more and more integrated and harmonious. In short, Cao Yukun gradually felt that he had figured out how to live his life - he was getting better and better at speaking the truth to different people, and being pretentious or affectionate.

In short, he has been here for nearly a year now. Basically, everyone he knows and interacts with, whether they are big guys like Jin Zhijian or pure girls like Fang Lijing, whether they are his subordinates or his parents and elders, everyone likes him very much.

It seems that no matter who he is with, he can always create a harmonious atmosphere.

This is true when picking up girls, and it is also true when winning the hearts of the company.

He has now become not only good at playing a handsome guy, but also a kind, friendly, yet authoritative boss.

"Morning boss!"

Zhou Xingbin, who was recently promoted to assistant to the general manager of Joyoung Electric Appliances, knocked on the door and brought a document to Cao Yukun's desk. "I went to coordinate a new loan from Wing Lung Bank yesterday. They made all kinds of excuses to push it. In short... it seems that they are not willing to issue it."

Cao Yukun looked up at him, opened the folder on the desktop and scanned it, then picked up the phone and, based purely on memory, called Lin Liangjun's mobile phone at Wing Lung Bank.

This was stipulated when the contract was signed. After all, a good cook cannot cook without rice. In addition to getting the shares from HSBC for one Hong Kong dollar, Cao Yukun also signed a bet agreement.

This gambling agreement not only stipulates that Cao Yukun will use his personal wealth to provide a rigid redemption guarantee for the creditors of the original Aijia Electric Appliances, but also stipulates that the original loans of each creditor must be extended for one to three years. At the same time, it also requires each bank to provide more loans in the future.

Even the amount that each bank and financial company should give is stipulated, and other banks have no objection. As long as the person is there and the application is accepted, they will give it! After all, after Cao Yukun took over, he was faced with an empty company account. Even if he had great abilities to show, he had to first divert some money, right?

You have been guaranteed rigid redemption, what else do you want?

What's the result? Other banks are fine, but Wing Lung Bank is always worried about this or that. Today, the directors want to sell the land but I don't agree, so you call to ask what's going on. Tomorrow, I want to resume production, but you are not happy. Now that it's already been signed in black and white, you are still delaying the loan. What the hell do you mean?
"Hey, Mr. Lin, I'm Cao Yukun!"

"We must follow the rules when doing things! I, Cao Yukun, have always respected you, Mr. Lin. When I talked to Eldon from HSBC before, I could have completely left you behind, but I said, Mr. Lin is my friend, and I never cheat my friends! It's because of you that I took on the claims of your other banks!"

"What happened? I treat you as a friend, but what do you treat me as? Are you kidding me?"

"What the heck!"

"I just want to say one thing. Give me the loan today! Otherwise, first, I promise that no matter whether I can save Joyoung Electric or not, you will not get a single cent of the loan from Wing Lung Bank. I can wait for you to sue me, but second, I promise that I will sue you first before you sue me!"

Click, the phone was hung up, Cao Yukun threw the folder directly to Zhou Xingbin with an expressionless face, without any of the friendly and warm attitude he had when he entered the company just now, "Go again! For the last time! Tell them directly that if they don't approve it this time, we at Joyoung Electric will never deal with their Wing Lung Bank again!"

But before Zhou Xingbin left the office, Lin Liangjun called again, his tone was very soft, he was indeed a noodle-like person, "Mr. Cao, don't be angry! I haven't asked about the things below recently, they must be messing around, don't worry, arrange your people to come, I will tell them right away, everyone's business can be delayed, but the business of Joyoung Electric and Mr. Cao must not be delayed!"

"I'm so angry! If you weren't older than me, I wouldn't be so kind to you!"

"I know, I know. You, Cao Sheng, have always been very respectful to me. I understand. It's just a misunderstanding. It's all a misunderstanding! Don't be angry. I'll treat you to lunch!"

"No need! Mr. Lin, I warn you, don't think that you are helping me by lending me money, you are helping yourself! Moreover, I have enough confidence in myself. I dare to buy Aijia Electric Appliances, so I have absolute confidence and strength to save him, so, in fact, I am also helping you! Please, understand the situation!"

"Okay, okay! I know! If you, Cao Sheng, take action, it will definitely work!"

After hanging up the phone, Cao Yukun felt relieved. He looked up and saw that Zhou Xingbin had not left yet, so he waved his hand and said, "Go!"

Zhou Xingbin then agreed and left.

In fact, after doing business for a long time, Cao Yukun gradually began to realize this: no matter how weak a boss is, he can be as ferocious as a wolf when facing his employees or weak partners; and no matter how tough and powerful a boss is, he can be so weak that he can be manipulated when facing a tougher partner.

A big store bullies its customers, and a big customer will also bully the store.

But Cao Yukun would never allow himself to be bullied.

In his hometown, he must suppress Song Hongxing and Xie Zhaofang, suppressing them to lose their temper in front of him, and at the same time, he hugged their two daughters in his arms, and they also swallowed their anger - even though it requires a certain degree of benefit to do so, which means that it is a bit of a bargain for the other party, Cao Yukun is willing to do so. In Shanghai, facing Jin Zhiqiang, the future shipper who has been locked in by him from the beginning, Cao Yukun never shows weakness, and puts on a hard-line posture from the beginning - everyone is mutually beneficial, everything can be discussed, and I will not hold on to those subscription certificates tightly, but if you, Jin Zhiqiang, think you are awesome and want to cut me off, then you go to hell!

The same goes for Hongkong!
He hugged Jin Zhijian's big thick legs, and they were friends regardless of age. Although he always called his cheap father-in-law Guo Hongying "Uncle Guo", the interactions between the two were also friends regardless of age.

When dealing with HSBC, he would throw out his suggestions and be certain that they would accept them. If the other party dared to show disapproval, he would just get up and leave. In the end, everyone finally followed his suggestions and reached a cooperation agreement.

What’s more, Lin Liangjun is as soft as snot and pus!

…………

"Hello, um, huh?"

While he was reading documents, guessing people's minds, and thinking about the next corporate structure of Joyoung Electric, he suddenly received a call from Fuping County. A few words left Cao Yukun confused. Even though Huang Jiaying's words were certainly clear, it still took Cao Yukun a while to react before he understood the words "our dad went to my dad's house."

"What is he doing? Uh...hahaha, okay! Let's go then!"

Well, what a sudden news.

Huang Jiaying had just received a call from his father, saying that Comrade Lao Cao had gone to visit Comrade Lao Huang's home on a motorcycle, carrying two kilograms of wine and some fruit.

Is this considered... a meeting between in-laws?
It is said that Comrade Huang was very happy and immediately called to ask Huang Jiaying and Huang Jiapeng, brother and sister, to go home at noon so that the whole family could entertain Comrade Cao.

Well, Comrade Lao Cao probably felt that he was too strong in the county? Especially since he openly had two or three wives in the house, it would make the fathers-in-law lose face, so he went over to make amends?

After all, to put it bluntly, there is no need to talk about the identities and status of Song Hongxing and Xie Zhaofang. Comrade Huang is also the president of the county Agricultural Bank. He is a respectable man and a presentable figure!

Tsk tsk...let him do what he wants!

If Comrade Lao Cao has this idea, he is willing to help reconcile the situation. It is not a bad thing.

He gave Huang Jiaying a few words of advice, asking her, as his daughter-in-law, to keep an eye on Comrade Lao Cao and not let him drink too much. Then he left it at that, hung up the phone, and continued to draw the architectural diagram on paper.

Whether a CPU is powerful or not depends on its architecture.

Whether a building is awesome or not depends on its structure.

Whether a company or a group is awesome or not depends on its foundation and structure.

Well, the scientific research department cannot be saved. Not only that, in addition to Hongkong, it would be better to set up R&D centers in the capital, Shanghai, and even Hangzhou and Shenzhen.

To be honest, you won’t know until you get in touch with it. Once you get in touch with it, you will find that the technology chain of the electrical industry is actually very long, and it requires a lot of core technologies!
Boiling water and cooking may seem simple, but in fact there are many technical barriers involved that are not easy to overcome. In the past, Aijia Electric Appliances spent all its resources, but at best it could only make a pot.

The simplest thing is, can we do some research and development on the temperature probe?
After all, this thing has a wide range of uses. Once mature technology is available, kettles and rice cookers will be used. So will water heaters, air conditioners, and refrigerators?
And...should I use a soymilk maker?
You always have to make sure what temperature the water in the pot is boiling at!

Well, the research and development of this thing can be regarded as important as the soy milk maker!

In short, the experience of the previous life is there. As long as you want to engage in an industry that is somewhat related to technology, don't hesitate to invest money in research and development! The future development of this country and this market will never let you down for every penny you invest in scientific research and technological development!

…………

Within three days, Comrade Lao Cao visited three relatives.

The first day was Mr. Huang, the second day was Mr. Xie, and the last day was his old boss, Mr. Song.

It is said that they all enjoyed the drink very much.

The old man was impartial. He went and drank. To some extent, he was helping his son. Cao Yukun was very good at showing off and taking advantage of the situation. He happened to have the most powerful situation in his hands. As a result, in just a few months, he had become the number one tycoon in Fuping County. His momentum and pomp made several old fathers-in-law breathless.

Cao Yukun himself didn't care, because he was sure that as long as he could get himself up, he would be able to suppress them for the rest of their lives, and they would never have a chance to turn over. But now it seems that Comrade Cao still feels that he has gone a bit too far, so he humbled himself and took the initiative to visit them to build relationships.

So Cao Yukun thought about it himself...that's fine.

Anyway, several old fathers-in-law have been appeased. Maybe they are still a little dissatisfied and unwilling in their hearts, but no matter whether it is pressure or inducement, they now have a deep connection of interests with him, and they are all hoping to follow him to take a step forward, so... no one dares not to give face to Comrade Lao Cao.

Maybe he would even dare to brazenly link up three relatives, and tell others that it was Comrade Cao who was so awesome!
But afterwards, Cao Yukun still called and chatted with his father for a few words.

Comrade Lao Cao said: "They are all good families, and they are all good girls. They are all very nice when I go there. Being a human being is not just about money. You can't be without money, but you can't just rely on money. You should respect those who should be respected, and give them the limelight. You can't have everything for yourself. You can't have both the inside and the outside!"

He usually doesn't talk much, but suddenly he said so much that Cao Yukun fell silent all of a sudden.

Even if the memory was traced back to the time of the original owner, the old man rarely gave people long lectures. When Cao Yukun traveled through time, even though he had done something as serious as beating the director, the old man neither beat him nor scolded him, nor did he educate him. He just silently did what he was supposed to do as a father.

But perhaps it was precisely because of this that Cao Yukun was willing to listen and take in what the old man said every time.

So after a long pause, he replied, "Yeah, I understand, Dad."

Not tough at all.
