Brilliant Years 1991

Chapter 210: All Trials Work
3:30 pm, in front of the entrance of Hongkong Chinese University.

A Mercedes-Benz S-Class sedan was parked on the side of the road not far from the school gate. The driver, Afeng, and the bodyguard, Xue Chengliang, stood on each side, at the front and back of the car respectively. Although they looked relaxed, they were still slightly alert.

The back window of the car was open, and Cao Yukun was leaning in the large and comfortable seat, smoking and daydreaming.

The weather in early November in the capital city that Cao Yukun is most familiar with is definitely late autumn, and even feels like early winter. In ten days, the heating will be turned on and the first cold wave will come. However, in Hongkong, the daytime temperature is still over 20 degrees Celsius, and the coldest at night is 15 or 16 degrees. It can be said that this is the time of the year when the climate makes people feel most comfortable.

After coming to Hong Kong for business for four or five months, Cao Yukun has actually been troubled by the climate in Hongkong, which makes him feel very uncomfortable. Therefore, most of the time when he is doing activities here, he doesn't like to go outdoors.

By this time he was beginning to feel comfortable.

Of course, it is also very important to gain a firm foothold and become familiar with the city.

No matter where you do business, it is not easy to gain recognition from the banking system.

But in the morning, Lin Liangjun took the initiative to go to Joyoung Electric Appliances to build relationships and expressed his desire for long-term cooperation in the future. At noon, he had lunch with HSBC's Asia President Eldon. He also sincerely expressed that everyone at HSBC appreciated his business capabilities over the past period of time and hoped for long-term cooperation in the future.

This almost means that he has opened the financial door to Hongkong!

In today's Hongkong, there is certainly no agriculture, and industry is almost non-existent. To put it bluntly, it is finance, aviation, tourism, shopping, and shipping that support the entire economy.

Finance is at the core.

In fact, because of the rapid rise of the continent behind it, Hongkong's international financial status will become increasingly important in the next thirty years. To gain a foothold here, it is very important to have your own sphere of influence and way of making money, the trust and endorsement of financial industry leaders, and a considerable network of personal connections.

Of course, establishing your own business and having your own way of making money are the most important things.

Then, he paid his respects to the boss, mixed with the big boss Jin Zhijian, and successfully made friends with the Guo family, the Xu family and other wealthy families in Hongkong. Until now, big bosses like HSBC and small banks like Wing Lung Bank have expressed their recognition of his management ability without hesitation... It's almost there, it's almost there...

It feels like all I need is one more battle to establish my authority and make my name known, and then I’ll be able to gain a foothold.

Once you have a firm foothold, you will become a mountain of your own.

No matter how small the hill is, it must exist. There is absolutely no difference between having it and not having it.

Well, the battle to establish prestige...

The cell phone suddenly rang.

Cao Yukun picked up the phone and answered it. The voice on the other end was very familiar, neither hurried nor slow, with a cool and soft voice, "Yukun, are you busy?"

Cao Yukun smiled, "I have to answer your call even if I'm busy!"

Song Yuhua seemed to laugh softly when she heard this, and was silent for a moment. She seemed to feel that what Cao Yukun said was a bit ambiguous no matter what she accepted, so she simply spoke directly, "The First Department Store is urging me to deliver the goods again. What should I do? There is only enough left in the warehouse for one and a half days. Will they stop? What should I do next?"

"Just for fun! It should be within the next two days, and we will send you another 25000 units. The production capacity has been adjusted, but it will not be increased overnight. The union in Hongkong is quite powerful, and they can't just ask for overtime. Workers are already being recruited, probably... I will try to increase it to units per month by the end of the month. However, the Magic City is almost there, and they have digested units. In the future, the purchase will be limited to to units per day, which is enough. If you don't limit the purchase, the purchasing power over there has actually been used up."

"Ah."

Song Yuhua just nodded softly and said nothing else.

It was obvious that she felt that she was not even worthy of carrying Cao Yukun's shoes based on this kind of judgment.

However, in fact, what she didn't know was that although Cao Yukun put in a full-scale show, asking Li Qingxia to shoot commercials and getting the No. 688 Department Store and so on, his initial expectations were not that good - in his opinion, selling it for was indeed expensive, too expensive, and things like rice cookers would never be out of stock. Japanese products had already been sold in domestic shopping malls, so it was just an advertisement and a gimmick to promote it.

Shanghai now has a population of millions and is the richest place in the country. As long as the right approach is taken, tens of thousands of rice cookers can be sold slowly.

Who could have expected that Hongkong’s high-end products would sell like hot cakes all of a sudden!

But still know when to stop.

The rice cooker is not a necessity, especially since its price is so high that it costs half a year's salary. This means that its market is limited even in Shanghai.

We will continue to supply large quantities of goods in Shanghai. Once the sales can no longer be sustained, it is not a wise move to let the myth fall apart - let alone there is no stock. Even if there is stock, we should move to another place and take the next shot!

The capital city!
The capital will do another wave, followed by Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Tianjin, Shenyang, Jinguancheng...

With the example of Shanghai here, Cao Yukun judged that it would not be a problem to sell another million units within a year if the product was only sold in major cities across the country - however, the production capacity could not support it.

Even if you work three shifts a day, how high can your annual production capacity be?

Moreover, the costs of materials, electricity, manpower, etc. on Hongkong's side are still too high.

So in fact, it is time to go to Shenzhen, Yangcheng and other places to investigate, acquire a piece of land, and build a large domestic production base for Joyoung Electric - this is the focus of the next two years!

In fact, beverage factories already have to consider adding production lines.

When my eldest brother-in-law Song Yuhuai built the factory, he designed it to produce 12000 tons per month. At that time, it seemed bold and arrogant enough. But in fact, in just a few months, the production capacity of the beverage factory has been increased to nearly tons per month - Hongkong, Lijiaopo and Malaysia can already sell so much!
To go further and continue to squeeze production capacity, to be honest, it is not completely impossible. We can work three shifts and hire more workers. But frankly speaking, the best we can do is to cap it at 30,000 tons per month, which is the absolute limit.

It will be enough within a year. After a year, especially after 1994, Cao Yukun personally believes that the domestic residents' income should have increased more than the current level, and the heyday of the beverage market is about to begin. It is impossible to enter the market with only this production capacity.

Just look at what Coca-Cola and Pepsi are busy with and you will know - they are currently running around the country to conduct inspections and discuss cooperation and joint ventures with large and small state-owned beverage companies across the country!
Cao Yukun knew very well that they just wanted to merge and take over the existing production capacity, and at the same time idle and seal up the domestic beverage brands - but this also indirectly reflected that the internal analysts of these international giants have also realized that the domestic beverage consumption market is about to reach a time of great development.

So, alas...the beverage factory in the capital actually has to be settled as soon as possible.

If you take out one year next year, you can calmly carry out construction and start to develop the market step by step. Otherwise, when the market doors are opened, you will fall behind others if you do these things.

Well, not only the capital, the capital can radiate to Northeast China and North China, and the factory in Fuping can radiate to East China. Therefore, South China actually needs a larger factory. In addition to radiating South China, it can also take over Hongkong, Lijiaopo and Malaysia, as well as markets in Indonesia and other places that may be developed in the future.

In addition, the southwest, northwest, and central south also need factories.

The pure production cost of beverages is not high, the problem is that the transportation cost is too high - it's all water, which is heavy and bulky, and the unit price cannot be high!

Setting up your own production bases in advance across the country and adopting the strategy of nearby transportation and sales can greatly reduce costs and increase profits. In case you need to face off against the two major colas, you will have a larger cost moat by then - so many things have to be considered in advance!

Ugh……

Huang Jiaying would definitely not be able to hold on, but the good thing is that she makes the final decisions on major issues, so she doesn't need to think about these things. She just needs to do some detailed work according to her own wishes.

This kind of combination is actually a way that saves everyone a lot of effort.

Ok……

"Otherwise, you can deal with the goods you have in your hands later and don't worry about the retail over there. There is only a small amount left, so you can sell it however you want. Come to Hongkong."

"Ah? Am I going to Hongkong? What to do?"

"You are my assistant! Just do whatever I ask you to do!"

Cao Yukun's words were sharp, domineering, and a bit unreasonable.

But Song Yuhua just said "Oh" and then said: "Okay."

So cute!

I'm afraid she will be timid and disobedient.

Cao Yukun slowed down his tone and said quickly, "I'll go get the documents and deal with the follow-up matters over there, then you can come over!"

She paused for two seconds, then said obediently, "Okay!"

…………

"Akun, have you been waiting for a long time?"

I had just put down my cell phone for a few minutes when suddenly a pretty face appeared outside the car window.

Cao Yukun smiled, reached out and grabbed the girl's chin, leaned over and kissed her on the lips, "Get in the car!" Her face turned red all of a sudden, and she subconsciously glanced at the front and back of the car, glared at Cao Yukun shyly, turned around and ran to the other side of the car and got in.

As soon as she got on the car, Afeng at the front of the car and Xue Chengliang at the back of the car subconsciously took a few steps away.

Who knows what will happen in the car?
The key point is that the boss doesn’t even care about the car windows, he can hear it!

However, just as they walked out, the boss was already calling people from the car, "Ah Feng, Lao Xue, let's go!"

So they hurried back, got on the driver's and co-driver's seats respectively, rolled up the car windows, and drove slowly out, heading straight for the Hongkong cruise terminal - Cao Yukun rented another boat today, planning to take Fang Lijing out to play. Well, of course, it was mainly to play with her.

This girl is very nice.

He knew very well that Cao Yukun was extremely unfaithful and was in love with Zhou Aimin, but after some hesitation, he still threw himself at her without hesitation when an opportunity arose.

Cao Yukun decided not to hesitate any longer.

The main thing is that even Zhou Aimin is pregnant this time, so we can’t touch her.

He already had three women with Hong Kong, which was very satisfying and more than enough for him. However, within a month or so, the old lady and Zhou Aimin were impatient and won the bid one after another. Now it was all over. It was impossible for him to satisfy his hunger with only Guo Chaoqiong.

Fang Lijing is lively and bright, with a great appearance and figure. Although Cao Yukun saw some fierce and unruly sides in her when they first met, she has always been well-behaved, obedient and smart in front of him since they got along. Moreover...his eldest brother-in-law Ah Hao always seemed to know about it and had no objection.

Eat her!
"Wow, are you going out to sea? What a big boat. Did you buy it?"

Obviously not.

Although Cao Yukun has become rich and his horizons have gradually opened up, some things in his bones are still deeply rooted in his mind - for example, if he wants to play with women, he can find more, no problem, but he can't throw them away after playing with them. You can play with them, but if you want to play, you have to support them for life. For example, if you have money, of course you can spend it, but no matter how expensive a house is, it will appreciate in the future, so you can buy it, even buy more, but cars and cruise ships are really pure play things, so don't spend money if you can avoid wasting money!
Although...houses are much more expensive than cars and cruise ships!

"No! We rented it! But we rented it for two days. We can sleep in the sea for two nights without any worries. How about that?"

A 120-foot boat, equipped with a professional captain, safety officer, and chef, with a large and comfortable bedroom, is perfect for two days of fun...

Fang Lijing was a very smart girl. When she heard that they would only play for two days, she immediately understood what Cao Yukun meant, and her face turned red again.

But she didn't object.

Shyly but full of curiosity, he followed her onto the boat.

Hongkong is close to the sea, and wealthy people always like to have their own large cruise ships. When the weather is good, they take fine wine, cigars, and beautiful women to enjoy a relaxing and pleasant vacation on the sea. Therefore, these things are often reflected in the film and television dramas and even novels produced by Hongkong. The people of Hongkong are no strangers to this.

But for a girl from an ordinary family like Fang Lijing, it must be the first time for her to go out to sea on such a large cruise ship - the rental of this thing costs at least tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars a day. A 120-foot one like the one rented by Cao Yukun is not small, and is actually enough for more than a dozen people. The daily rental is 18,000 Hong Kong dollars, plus the staff salaries, expensive food that needs to be prepared in advance, etc. The expenses for a day out would be tens to hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars. Ordinary people really can't afford it.

But Cao Yukun obviously didn't care.

He boarded the boat with his women and bodyguards, and snapped his fingers at the driver Afeng. Of course, he knew how to tell his wife at home when he got back. In fact, Cao Yukun did not disappear inexplicably and make it impossible for anyone to find him. Whenever he wanted to go out to play, he would directly inform his wives and girlfriends in Hongkong.

Just tell them I'm going to be away for two days to pick up some girls.

Lai Ching-ha laughed and hit him, Chow Ai-min acted like a spoiled child, and Kwok Chiu-king laughed out loud.

No matter whether they took it seriously or not, Cao Yukun was speaking very seriously and everything he said was true.

We soon entered the high seas. The boat stopped and we went down for a swim. By the time we came out to light a cigar and drink some tea, the chef had already prepared the ingredients, so we had dinner and drank some wine.

I don’t know if it was because she was not good at drinking or because she was shy, but one glass of wine made Fang Lijing’s face red.

Neither bodyguards nor service personnel would stay on the main deck. There was enough space and time. The sea at night was calm and without wind. There was only endless darkness and the sound of gentle waves.

Right on the deck, a shot came.

She was shy and timid, but she still followed Cao Yukun's wishes and let him do what he wanted. She gave up her virginity so easily - well, the feeling of opening a new seal was still very wonderful.

Every girl’s first time is wonderful in its own way.

After finishing the work, they rested on the deck for a while and chatted. Cao Yukun asked her if she wanted to go to Yiren Kangyin or Joyoung Electric Appliances to be his administrative secretary after the internship after the New Year. She agreed without thinking.

It was almost ten o'clock and the sea breeze was getting stronger, so Cao Yukun carried her back to the bedroom and had sex with her again. This time she didn't even cry out in pain, but she was a little swollen after the incident.

But it doesn’t matter, Cao Yukun was even careful enough to prepare the medicine.

Apply it below to reduce swelling and relieve pain.

The food above is a long-term contraceptive.

Well, Cao Yukun didn’t care in the past. Although he looked like a 19-year-old and had a body of a 19-year-old, deep down, he was thinking that he was already in his thirties. He did think that since the girl was his, as long as she was willing, he would let her give birth to a child!
As a man, it is a blessing to have many children and spread out branches!

But now he is different and doesn't think so.

In just a few months, Xie Xiaoyu, Zhao Xiaolan, Li Qingxia and Zhou Aimin all became pregnant one after another. He suddenly realized a fact that he had never cared about before - damn, once the pregnancy occurs, the baby cannot be used, and it will be at least a year!

Especially Xie Xiaoyu. After she became pregnant, after getting over the initial surprise of having her first child, Cao Yukun was more upset than happy. Before Fang Lijing, there were already eight girls that Cao Yukun had gotten his hands on and slept with. But if we really had to name Cao Yukun's favorites, it would be Guo Chaoqiong on Hongkong's side and Xie Xiaoyu on Fuping's side.

They are the most fun.

In fact, in terms of appearance alone, Xie Xiaoyu would probably be ranked first among all the women Cao Yukun has had so far - if the old aunt was ten years younger, she would probably be able to suppress Xie Xiaoyu, but she is 38 years old after all, and cannot compare with the natural beauty of Xie Xiaoyu, a girl in her early twenties.

Fang Lijing is slightly inferior to Xie Xiaoyu, although her figure is actually more curvaceous than hers.

Yu Feihong's charm has not yet reached its peak. It is estimated that when she is around 30 years old, she may be able to surpass the fading beauty Xie Xiaoyu, but at least she is not able to do so now.

Zhou Aimin can’t do it, Zhao Xiaolan can’t do it, and Hu Zihong can’t do it either!

A girl like this, who had just started, got pregnant. She will be sealed for at least a year...

I regret it just thinking about it!
Although Cao Yukun did this deliberately, mainly to appease his father-in-law Xie Zhaofang and to have a child in the county as soon as possible to reassure his parents, he still regretted it.

"Ah Kun, will you be good to me forever?"

"Ha...Shouldn't you ask this question beforehand? Why are you asking it now?"

Fang Lijing also smiled when she heard that. She turned around and half-lay on Cao Yukun. Although she was shy, she subconsciously acted like a spoiled child. "Originally, there was no need to ask, but I know you are a playboy! Girls always get old. What if you don't like me anymore when I'm old?"

"What should we do? How about... breaking up now?"

"Pfft... don't even think about it! You just... want to break up now, you're so mean!"

"Look, you asked this question, and I don't know how to answer it! How can I know what you will look like when you are forty? I am so lustful and I like to fuck pretty girls. I don't like ugly ones! What if you are not pretty anymore and I can't get hard when I see you? What's the point of saying you like me? No matter how pretty you are, if I can't get hard, what's the point of love?"

"Pfft...husband, do you have to be so realistic?"

"You're asking about a lifetime! Long-term topics, that's definitely the most realistic. It's easy for me to make you happy with a few nice words, but I won't be able to do it when the time comes. Why bother?"

"But at least say a few words to cheer me up now, I will be very happy now!"

"Is that so... Oh, that won't work. I can't tell a lie. If I want to play, I'll play for real! In that case, how can I say I love you forever? In my opinion, we are both young and it's good enough to be together sweetly. We don't need anyone to give extra assurances to the other person. Wait a few years..."

He leaned forward, kissed the little beauty on the mouth, and once again used his almost always effective elixir, "Give me a baby, and I will support you for the rest of your lives, how about that?"

"Wouldn't such a guarantee be more reliable than a few sweet words?"

She was indeed caught...

His eyes suddenly lit up.

Or it could be said that at this point in his life, Cao Yukun's appearance, temperament, conversation, ability, and wealth were all attractive to girls. The only thing about him that girls would worry about was that he was a bit lustful, and he never concealed his lust.

However, for a perfect playboy like him, almost any girl who gets together with him and is taken to bed by him will subconsciously think of one thing: children should be his lifeblood!

It is also the lifeblood of girls themselves!

A promise to give him a child can make almost any girl settle down instantly.

To be honest, no matter how prodigal a person is, how can he not like his own flesh and blood?
"Really?"

"real."

"Akun, I love you! I don't want to leave you in this life!"

"Well, then don't leave!"
