Brilliant Years 1991

Chapter 208 The Scumbag's Bottom Line

After all, I went to Xu's house.

There is no way. You can make money working alone, but it is almost impossible to keep the money working alone. No matter where you go, you need some basic relationships and connections to support you in order to gain a firm foothold.

Cao Yukun's roots in Hongkong are in Jin Zhijian's big brother, but Guo Hongying's Guo family has become an important part of his network of connections, and the Xu family is obviously qualified to be another link - of course, the relationship with Jin Zhijian must be maintained well, but it does not mean that Hongkong can be defeated by relying solely on Jin Zhijian. What's more, with Cao Yukun's personality, he will definitely pay his respects to the boss, but he does not want to bear the protection of others for a long time.

Although I didn’t know much about Jin Zhijian’s later development in my previous life, one thing is certain: his peak period should have been around the 2000s.

In other words, it was centered around the business tycoons of the old Shanghai in the 1930s and 1940s. Perhaps if we go back further, we can trace it back to the Jiangsu and Zhejiang business groups in the late Qing Dynasty. With them as the core, after the 1940s and 1950s, merchants from Fujian, Guangdong and Southeast Asia joined as successors. Their heyday lasted until the early 2,000s.

Two thousand years later, with the rise of mainland industry and capital, all these forces pale in comparison.

As for himself, Cao Yukun felt that it would not take two thousand years, but probably another three or four years for his power to be strong enough to be on par with Jin Zhijian - although the eldest brother is the eldest brother, and he still has to be respected, but the development and growth of his own power and the rapid expansion of his own network of contacts will undoubtedly make your status in the eldest brother's eyes become more and more different.

Ten years later, it will be another matter who will take care of whom.

Although he paid his respects to the boss, deep down in his heart, Cao Yukun really didn't look down on those people who were currently in charge of the red sky - it was not because he was arrogant, nor was he conceited. The history of the first thirty years and the last thirty years fully demonstrated that they really rose to power purely by relying on the wave of fortune from the 1950s to the 1990s. When it comes to their own vision, realm, courage, and pattern, to be honest, except for a few few, few of them have the spirit of a great power.

The older people who have a sense of great power are those who experienced the Republic of China era. Unfortunately, they have gradually died out in recent years.

In short, you have to go, meet, and establish good relationships.

As soon as she heard that Cao Yukun was going to the Xu family, Miss Guo Chaoqiong reacted strongly.

But still have to go.

Ignore her.

Perhaps it was because of the blind date her father had suddenly arranged last time that she had become more and more aggressive recently, and had been urging them to make their relationship public, which had made Cao Yukun a little impatient.

He had no intention of infringing upon Pansy Kwok's bottom line for the time being, nor was he very interested in the obedient girl of the Xu family. He was not at all willing to draw the wrath of the two major families, the Guo family and the Xu family, because of the issue of picking up one more girl. But that was what he had intended to do anyway, and when Miss Guo tightened the ropes so much, it seemed as if she was forcing Cao Yukun not to touch Xu Huiya - this violated the bottom line of a scumbag!
I can be nice to you, I can respect your ideas, and I can not flirt with some girl for you, but that is and only because I am willing to respect it and because I love you!

Don't act like I'm afraid of you!

"Do you really want to go?"

"Nonsense! Of course I have to go. Xu Huiya is so beautiful. Maybe we can go today and make an appointment tomorrow. We can find a hotel and book a room. It just so happens that you two are sisters. Now you two really become sisters. Isn't that good?"

"Oh, A-Kun, do you always try to piss me off like this? My dear, I know Uncle Xu invited you, so of course you can't refuse. I'm just saying..."

Whatever you say!
If you want to have a cold war, then have a cold war. If you want to break up, then break up.

Half a year ago, it would have been impossible for Cao Yukun to have such a thought, but he soon discovered that girls should be pampered when they should be pampered, but they should never be pampered too much.

Many times, the best way is to just ignore them and be yourself.

I am a playboy, I am a scumbag!
If you care too much about what they think, to be frank, Huang Jiaying is probably still a virgin, and Guo Chaoqiong must still be full of friendships - go to hell! I can date whoever I want, if you are not happy, just go away!

However...to be honest, going to Xu's house for dinner is really boring.

Xu Youjia is just in his early fifties, but he has gained a lot of weight due to middle-age. His wife said that he has high blood pressure and diabetes. In short, he looks a little weak, and he does not have the heroic qualities of wealthy tycoons like Jin Zhijian and Guo Hongying. He is just a amiable rich man.

It's just that he is a very nice person and treats people warmly, especially towards Cao Yukun, he seems to be trying to win him over, so his attitude is even more amiable - not to mention, Cao Yukun had just cleared out the inventory of rice cookers that had accumulated in Yuan Aijia Electric for more than a year, which really surprised him!
But he is the only one in the Xu family.

Xu Quanheng, the third generation of the rich, had nothing to recommend him. Xu Huiya was pretty, but she was obviously a good girl. She was said to be good at studying, but she knew almost nothing about business, relationships, and dealing with things. To be honest, the term "silly and sweet" in later generations was quite appropriate for her. For a girl like this, Cao Yukun was even absolutely sure that three hours would be enough to take her to bed.

And in fact…it might not even take three hours.

Because with Cao Yukun's experience, after just a few exchanges of eye contact, he clearly knew that this Miss Xu was most likely in love with him, and was very obsessed with him!
It’s just… a headache.

As I said, having sex with her has serious side effects.

First of all, Cao Yukun knew that he was on the eve of gaining a firm foothold in Hongkong, so he really didn't want to cause trouble, at least he didn't want to do something stupid like offending both the Guo and Xu families at the same time.

Secondly, in Cao Yukun's heart, Xu Huiya is no match for Guo Chaoqiong.

Guo Chaoqiong is really fun in bed, and Cao Yukun never gets tired of her. He has been playing with her for two or three months and still hasn't had enough. What's more, as they get along for a long time, Cao Yukun gradually feels that it makes sense that Guo Chaoqiong is favored by Guo Hongying and cultivated by him, respected and feared by his two younger brothers, and favored by Xu Youjia, who wants Xu Quanheng to marry her and take charge of the Xu family in the future.

This girl is smart, calm, rational, and has a sense of the overall situation. She does not have the arrogance and stupidity that is common among the second and third generation rich people in Hong Kong. She is very down-to-earth.

To be honest, after knowing each other and having sex for two or three months, Cao Yukun thought that a girl like her would probably only fail once with him, and that he had won her over - it had something to do with her face, and also something to do with his knowledge that was thirty years ahead of her, which seemed to have stunned her all at once.

After reaching a certain level in picking up girls, to be honest, mere appearance is no longer that important to Cao Yukun - oh, if her appearance could be as good as a new Bentley, that would be fine, he would be moved, but even if it was a new Bentley, Cao Yukun had been moved eight or ten times, but still did not make a move.

For women, novelty is good, but if you do it too much, time will be tight.

He has no pressure in raising Xie Xiaoyu, a beautiful but stupid girl, in Fuping, and two vases, Old Auntie and Zhou Aimin, in Hongkong. But if he has to choose again, he still prefers someone like Pansy Kwok, who can share some common language with him in terms of business, economics, and structure.

It’s okay to be naive.

Of course, you still need to deal with it.

"Oh, Milan Kundera, I know him, he writes pornographic stories!"

"Marx? The one who wrote Das Kapital? Oh, Marquez, One Hundred Years of Solitude, right? He's not good enough. He's a weirdo, and his books don't contain dirty jokes. I don't like them!"

"I like to read "Pretty Friend". What did you translate it into? "Handsome Friend"? I don't know. I haven't visited literary bookstores here, but I've seen that book. It's good! Especially the part in the middle where the hero has an affair with a noble lady in the church, right in front of God. Tsk tsk... very pornographic..."

In fact, Cao Yukun was just talking nonsense.

He was not a literature lover in his previous life. He just read a few books in school, but did not understand them very well. He just remembered that there were many dirty jokes in Western classics, so he just talked about them casually at this time.

Because Xu Huiya is actually a literature lover.

Then he might as well take the opportunity to ruin his own good image - I'm just a little hooligan, even when I read classics, I only read those dirty jokes!
In the back garden of the Xu family villa, Cao Yukun was walking and talking nonsense. Miss Xu's face turned red because of his weird comments, and she almost didn't dare to look up.

Drink tea, smoke cigars, chat, walk with Miss Xu, and then eat and drink.

Before leaving, Xu Youjia specially gave Cao Yukun a new pipe and a complete set of pipe smoking tools.

After finishing the meal at Xu's house, they leisurely returned to Miss Guo's small house. Cao Yukun told Guo Chaoqiong what he had said to Xu Huiya. Guo Chaoqiong laughed out loud, "Husband, how could you do this! Huiya is actually a very good and pure girl! Oh, you are so mean. Once our relationship is made public, how can I meet her? I am really impressed by you!" "What's the big deal? I just like to read pornographic novels! What literary value? Forget it!"

"Hahahaha!"

"It's like a man and a woman falling in love. Love is necessary, and it is the foundation of intimacy between each other. Just like writing, it is the basis for telling a good story, but in the final analysis, you still have to tell a story! When a man and a woman fall in love, in the final analysis, they just want to have sex! There is nothing to be shy about!"

Pansy Kwok burst into laughter once again.

This was indeed the man she had known.

The way he looks at problems, does things and speaks is always to the point. He never avoids anything and even seems vulgar from time to time. But when you think about what he said afterwards, you will find that it is so insightful!
If not, how could I fall in love with him?

Oh, by the way, he is definitely not someone who can only talk nonsense. He speaks incisively and does things in a sharp and awesome way that Hong Kong has never seen in recent years. He solved the sales problem that dragged down the overall downturn of Aijia Electric Appliances and forced the original owner of Aijia Electric Appliances to take risks to try to get out of the predicament so easily!

It could not be sold at Hong Kong Dollars because it was less than 150 yuan. The selling price to the company was actually only 688 or yuan. However, he sold the goods that had been in stock for more than a year to private individuals at a price of Hong Kong Dollars per unit. When he took them to Shanghai, they were sold directly for yuan, and they were almost snatched up!

The more obscene this kind of man is, the more he talks nonsense, and the more indecent he is all day long, the more people will love him to the point of madness!

…………

"Okay! This is the one!"

On the morning of November 3rd, Cao Yukun spent about two hours looking at three villas. Finally, he found one with a good location, good decoration and a particularly suitable price, so he made the decision.

Looking back at Zhou Aimin, her eyes were already full of stars. How could she possibly object?

Mid-levels luxury house!
It covers an area of ​​860 square meters, with three floors above ground and a construction area of ​​538 square meters. There is also a wine cellar of about 200 square meters in the basement, cigar room, billiard room, etc., which are not included in the area. The selling price is 6800 million Hong Kong dollars!
Take it!

The superficial reason, of course, was that her period was late. Yesterday, Zhou Aimin secretly went for a check-up and it was confirmed that she was pregnant - it was around the middle of last month.

But the fundamental reason is that a large amount of money has been deposited in Yiren Kangyin.

According to Cao Yukun's original plan, he wanted to buy a luxury house for Zhou Aimin at this time.

The Hongkong market continues to sell well, the Lijiaopo market has been successfully developed, and now even the Malaysian market has been opened up by General Ah Hao, and he is starting to be able to ship one thousand tons of goods there at a time.

So, by the end of October, Yiren Kangyin's account had accumulated a whopping HK$114 million in cash without anyone noticing.

What are you keeping it for? To spend!

The international situation has been a bit tense recently. Although the achievement of the 1992 Consensus has made everyone feel more at ease on the surface, in reality, the wealthy people in Hong Kong are generally willing to interpret it as the mainland's willingness to make such a major concession and acquiesce to Taiwan's governance status quo, which is probably just a shot of anesthetic for the other side in preparation for the subsequent fight. Therefore, they believe that the future of Hong Kong is expected to continue to be unstable.

In addition, with the launch of "Big Times" in October, the TV series was a big hit and Zhou Aimin became more famous, but the Hongkong stock market suddenly plummeted. As a result, the argument that Hongkong was in trouble became popular again.

The prices of properties owned by ordinary people are still relatively stable, but the market for luxury homes has plummeted again!

HK$6800 million to buy a luxury house in Mid-Levels covering more than one acre of land!

Gee...

A beautiful woman hidden in a golden house!
"Hubby, you're so good to me!"

Regardless of the presence of bodyguards, drivers, and real estate agents, Zhou Aimin couldn't hold back her tears again. She threw herself into Cao Yukun's arms, hugged him, and soon burst into tears.

She herself said that she did feel insecure since childhood. After she grew up, she had two relationships and was actually very scared every time. She knew that she was very beautiful and thought it was normal and right for her boyfriend to treat her well, but she inexplicably felt that the other party seemed to dump her at any time - in short, she was not confident.

So in the past, even though she was together with Cao Yukun and had sex with him, she was only happy and relaxed during the initial period. Later, when she gradually found that Cao Yukun was spending less and less time with her, she began to become emotionally unstable again - she could not help feeling sad and inferior.

To meet her mother, pay her mortgage, give her a huge amount of pocket money, allow her to have children for me, until now, okay, it’s almost the ultimate goal, a luxury house in Mid-Levels.

Then, it seemed as if her whole body relaxed all of a sudden.

She cried and wiped her tears, but couldn't help laughing. "I never dared to think that I could live in a luxury house in the middle of the mountain in this life! Husband, I love you!"

Doesn’t she know that Cao Yukun has another woman outside?

know.

known long time ago.

But even if you are treated as a canary, being able to live here means you are basically the top canary!
What's more, she was already pregnant with Cao Yukun's child, so she had hope.

If you don't believe me, look back and see how long has the beautiful Rosamund Kwan been with Liu Luanxiong? He has given her a lot of jewelry, branded bags, and even cars. It is estimated that the total is at least several million, maybe tens of millions. But do you think Liu will buy her a house? Will he buy her a luxury house? Will he buy her a villa in Mid-Levels?

Not to mention, would Liu allow Rosamund Kwan to give birth to a child for him?

Since Li Jiaxin debuted, she should be considered to be on the rise. Of course, according to rumors, Rosamund Kwan is still following Liu, coveting Liu's money, but even if Li Jiaxin is known as a gold digger of a higher level, you see she has been following Liu for more than a year, what has she gotten? Did she get a luxury house in Mid-Levels?

impossible!

Liu has his own tricks when it comes to playing with women. He is always generous with gifts, but he will never give anything that exceeds the standard - come on, it's just picking up a girl and having sex, it's just playing a trick, so giving her some shiny, seemingly expensive luxury goods will be enough, is it necessary to spend so much money?

And, in fact, Liu has no money.

All his money is in the stock market!
"Okay, stop crying. From now on, you are the mistress of this house! Why are you crying? Be cheerful! Come on, smile for your husband!"

The beautiful girl, who was known for her purity and loveliness, actually burst into laughter.

This smile seems unusually brilliant.

Well, this reminds Cao Yukun of a meme he saw on a certain audio platform in later life - this is the goddess that your grandfather and your father like, and you like her too, isn't that normal?

It’s such a pity that I’m pregnant again…

If I count on my fingers, by next year, within a few months, I will have four children - no, that’s not it, four at once!

Ugh……
