Brilliant Years 1991

Chapter 242 Thank you, Mrs. Cao!

Send him to prison and pay compensation, there's nothing much to say.

There is nothing much to say about the matter. In the underworld, there are all kinds of people, but in the final analysis, it is all about the weaknesses of human nature. What is certain is that I dare but you don't.

As long as you dare, you have no weaknesses and he can't eat you.

Cao Yukun is definitely a celebrity in Hong Kong now. The key thing is that his face is so memorable. Among the seven or eight million people in Hong Kong, not many have seen him in person. But countless people can remember his face as long as they have read the newspaper reports at the time, especially the reports on the most influential "stepping on three boats" incident.

He is so handsome that he has no friends!

The police inspector was very polite after receiving him. He said that cases like this require detention for 24 hours, but can be released on bail on the spot. Cao Yukun immediately said that he would not grant bail, and then watched his brother-in-law Guo Chaofan being taken in.

Then the police inspector said that it would be better to bring some money with him. If he didn't like the food inside, he could ask someone to buy it for him. He could also buy cigarettes if he wanted to smoke. Although they were a bit more expensive, it was better than not being able to eat or smoke.

Cao Yukun also stated on the spot that he would not give any money.

However, he took out his business card on the spot and handed one to the police inspector in charge, indicating that if anything happened, he could be notified as soon as possible - this place is not like the mainland, where people have just become rich, and people and wealth have just begun to flow on a large scale, so business cards are real business cards, which are used to make friends from all over the world. But it is not like this in Hongkong. In Hongkong, everyone knows that the business cards of the big guys are not given casually. Once given, it often means that they are optimistic about you, or that he is willing to make friends with you. You can choose not to contact them with this business card, but as long as it is given to you, once you encounter any difficulties and can't get through, you can call for help. The big guys generally recognize this.

The police inspector was flattered and took the business card with both hands.

He also repeatedly assured that he would never let the second young master of the Guo family suffer any loss.

But, of course...the second young master of the Guo family, the king of Hongkong Ship, went to jail for beating someone, which still attracted a lot of attention in Hongkong. The incident was reported in many newspapers the next morning.

However, the focus of everyone’s reports was almost without exception - Cao Sheng personally sent Guo Chaofan to surrender!

As for the brother-in-law and brother-in-law, everyone knows that these two people are the brother-in-law and brother-in-law, but the problem is that the previous reports about Cao Yukun having three girlfriends were superficial and no one followed up on the reports. Everyone only knew that a wealthy family like the Guo family did not say anything about the fact that their eldest princess was involved in a love quadrangle.

And there has been no news of a wedding, not even an engagement ceremony.

No one knows how far the relationship between the two has developed.

Until this time, it wasn't a lot of negative news anyway. No matter how powerful you, Mr. Cao, are, we are not saying bad things about you. There is no problem with normal reporting. So we took this as an excuse to pay attention to it.

In the evening of the next day, Cao Yukun and Guo Chaoqiong rushed to the police station together to pick up Guo Chaofan.

At this time, the reporters and paparazzi who had only heard the news the day before and failed to take photos on the spot had already been waiting there in advance. The flashes never stopped from the moment the two got out of the car, and there were even reporters from TV stations carrying video equipment to take pictures. Until the two walked out of the police station with Guo Chaofan, who looked exhausted, the reporters became even more crazy. Cao Yukun's driver and bodyguards tried their best, but they couldn't squeeze out the hundreds of reporters.

There was no other way, Cao Yukun had to give a brief interview - after coming to Hong Kong for half a year, he had made a lot of money, dated a lot of girls, and gained a lot of fame, but this was the first time for him to give an interview in public.

"Well, it was a fight! What kind of young people are they if they don't have some courage? After the fight, he should go to jail and pay compensation. Is this a shameful thing? As long as he is willing to take responsibility for the decision he made, in my heart, he is my good brother!"

"Me? Of course I don't encourage young people to fight! But I also always hate teaching young people to behave themselves. What are fists for? Of course we should be civilized and reasonable, but some people won't listen to reason. What should we do? Beat him! Beat him so hard that his mother won't recognize him!"

"Also, since you are so concerned about Afan's beating, please, reporters, pay attention to school bullying, that's more worthy of reporting! Also, there are many small gangs that specifically provoke children from wealthy families, incite them to take action, and then blackmail them. Please, you must know about this, report it! Draw public attention! Children from wealthy families also want to study well, and they are not born to be blackmailed by these hooligans and scum!"

Slam Fang Qiu.

Guo Chaoqiong was standing behind him, holding Guo Chaofan's hand. For a moment, she watched Cao Yukun being interviewed there and listened to his words, which must have sounded surprisingly frank to the media reporters in Hongkong. For a moment, she couldn't help but look back at her brother, and seeing that he looked tired, she felt distressed and happy at the same time. She couldn't help but touch his head like she did when he was a child, with a face full of pampering and happiness.

Well, if you make a mistake and have the courage to admit it and go to jail, that is a kind of courage.

After being taught a lesson by his brother-in-law, he has made great progress!
When they finally got into the car, she couldn't help but say, "Dad was so happy to hear that you were willing to go to jail. He said that your brother-in-law was right. It's not a big deal to be afraid of doing something wrong. It's a good thing to be brave enough to take responsibility."

"So, next time you encounter something like this, don't be so impulsive. You've been fooled! Your brother-in-law said that it's a kind of courage not to get angry with such a person and to be able to endure the humiliation for a moment!"

"Also, your brother-in-law also said that even if he was offended, a son of a wealthy family would not sit in the hall. A truly smart person would not wave his fist casually... What does that mean, husband..."

“The Lord does not raise an army in anger.”

"Yes, don't swing your fist just because you're angry. Instead, you should pull your fist back first, clench it, find the right moment, and hit him hard!... Hey, husband, is this really appropriate to say to Afan? He's only nineteen years old!"

"I'm only nineteen!"

"Oh, yes, hahahaha..."

"And I didn't ask you to tell him. I said it in private, but you insisted on saying it!"

"Hahahaha, oh, alright, alright. I want him to be braver, but I'm afraid he's just a coward, so I always want to teach him a lesson with your words!"

Guo Chaofan finally couldn't help laughing, but with a bit of shyness, he saw his elder sister raised her hand to touch his face again, and even felt a bit shy again, "I know everything, elder sister!"

Pansy Kwok also laughed, "Okay, okay, I won't talk about you anymore!"

Then, go home.

Surprisingly, my usually strict father didn't say a word of blame, and even praised me, "You are a real man who dares to act and take responsibility! You did a good job this time. I don't think you are embarrassing me by going to jail."

This made Guo Chaofan look extremely happy afterwards.

The food in prison was not tasty, and the feeling in prison was not pleasant either. Even though someone was taking care of him and he actually did not suffer any injustice, once he returned home, he still chopped down three bowls of rice, looking as if he had finally relaxed - which made Guo's mother feel very distressed.

After having dinner together, Cao Yukun wanted to go home.

Guo Chaofan's incident was not a big deal, but he had to deal with it, which delayed Cao Yukun's original plan. There were many things waiting for him to do when he came back. He had to run in the new board of directors and gradually develop a completely self-centered operation mode. He also had to understand, observe and control the newly acquired electronics factory. So, it took up a lot of time for picking up girls. According to the original plan, he should have accompanied the old lady tonight, but now he obviously couldn't leave.

When you go to the Guo family's house for dinner in the evening, you can't just leave Pansy Kwok after dinner and then go to Repulse Bay, right?

That's unacceptable!
What was even more suspenseful was that right after dinner, before Cao Yukun could say goodbye, the damn Lin Liangjun actually called and urged Cao Yukun to go to a banquet with him, saying that there would be new girls coming in tonight, all of them were Bai E and Er Mao, and they were guaranteed to be all there. He had selected four, all of them were top girls, all eighteen years old, and two would be chosen for each person, on a first-come, first-served basis - damn, she was so pissed off that even though she had deliberately moved away to answer his call, she still didn't know if the Guo family had heard it.

It's so embarrassing.

I almost wanted to strangle him to death.

Of course, he was mainly apologizing. The last time Cao Yukun hit him in the right spot, the old man immediately understood that he could never beat Cao Yukun, so he was even more scared. But for Cao Yukun, the price of that beating was not small.

The old man acted in a fawning manner, saying that he did not need to buy back the shares that Cao Yukun had someone else buy. Cao Yukun had no way of forcing him, as forcing him would only make him show his weakness, so he had no choice but to swallow his anger.

The four million shares of Wing Lung Bank represent a shareholding ratio of approximately 1.25%, and Cao Yukun had asked others for help. It would be difficult to ask them to put in money, so he basically received the shares at a price slightly higher than their purchase price. In this way, more than million Hong Kong dollars of funds were occupied!
To be honest, now is not the same as before. At that time, Cao Yukun had just arrived in Hongkong, had just made a fortune, and had a lot of cash in his hands. Apart from buying houses, he didn't know where to invest. But now, he is and has to a certain extent integrated into the big market of Hongkong. His entanglements with HSBC, Wing Lung Bank, Jin Zhijian, Guo Hongying, and Xu Youjia are becoming more and more serious. In addition, he has gradually found the direction he wants to invest, so things are starting to become more and more numerous and complicated, and the way to spend money has been completely opened up, so that his current cash flow is becoming increasingly tight.

But the shares of a broken Wing Lung Bank have taken up more than 50 million Hong Kong dollars!

And they don’t even dare to sell it secretly!

In order to maintain this attitude and intimidate Lin Liangjun, you must continue to hold on to the stock!

Lin Liangjun himself is not that scary, and Wing Lung Bank poses no threat to Cao Yukun, but the problem is... no matter what, Bentley is the daughter of this old man Lin Liangjun!
We caught them both in one fell swoop, so we have to continue to maintain the deterrent effect!

The more I hated this old guy, the more I hated him - ah, two big white geese. If I didn't kill him, my 50 million Hong Kong dollars would feel even more unfair.

Kill him!

I'll discuss it with Pansy Kwok on the way back. Anyway, it seemed that Mrs. Cao was aroused by me last night. She was very beastly and greedy. She peed three times and was completely paralyzed. I'm sure she won't dare to provoke me today - maybe if I tell her directly, she will give me leave.

Oh well, well, let’s go and have Old Lin’s meal!
However, the father-in-law refused to let him go. When Cao Yukun came back from answering the phone, he said directly, "Ah Kun, if you have nothing else to do, come up and drink tea and smoke with me!"

I had no choice but to agree.

I can't tell my father-in-law that I'm in a hurry to go have sex with another cheap father-in-law.

As soon as he saw the father and son were going upstairs to talk, Pansy Kwok immediately followed them, saying, "Then I'll make you some tea!" - He loved listening to his father and his man discussing things together! He felt that every time he listened to their chat, he could benefit a lot and gain a lot.

In fact, when chatting with any of them alone, Pansy Kwok has absolute advantages, but it doesn't work. When she comes to chat, it always feels like her level is not good enough. If her level is not good enough, she cannot inspire the other person's truly superb insights.

I have to listen to them talk, because they can talk about things that broaden my horizons and expand my horizons.

Before going upstairs, she reached out and pulled Guo Chaofan up as well.

Maybe he learned a lesson, or maybe Guo Chaofan was suddenly enlightened by someone, anyway, this time he followed his father and brother-in-law upstairs obediently, and when his father and brother-in-law sat down to smoke cigars, he took the initiative to help his sister get and boil water, and then sat aside obediently and listened to their conversation.

In fact, there is nothing new. Guo Hongying said that he also wants to go to the mainland to take a look and start a project.

After asking about the details of the cooperation that Cao Yukun and Xu Youjia discussed yesterday, he pondered for a long time and said, "In fact, in the field of real estate, our family has also tried, but we are not as good as your uncle Xu, so we have never put in a lot of effort! So, Hongyun has a small company. It was your uncle Xu who suggested it, and I bought it with money. It specializes in property operation and management, mainly operating some short-term and long-term rental apartments. It also has two hotels in its hands. Together, it is a plate of about 100 million. I will also take it out and put it in the new company, and we will work together. What do you think?"

Cao Yukun immediately felt overwhelmed.

To be honest...it doesn't matter who he cooperates with, and it would be even better if the elders value him, but in the final analysis, what he needs most is the real estate team and framework that Xu Youjia has brought out!
A wealthy family is still a wealthy family after all. For example, Xu Youjia and Guo Hongying are both old families that have been operating for decades. Their foundation is so strong that they can easily overwhelm others with just a little bit of money. If a company with 100 million or 200 million yuan comes in, the company will certainly be larger in scale and its scope of operation will also be expanded, but will you follow? If you don’t continue to invest money, you will lose your absolute control of the company!

But thinking about it again, well, it is completely consistent with what I sent Hu Zihong to do in the Magic City before - if you want to throw things in, can I do it too?

However, after slowly taking two puffs of the cigar, Cao Yukun finally chose to go back hard, "No! Uncle, the most important thing is to do things first, go over there and drive in the stakes and lay a good foundation. At this stage, I personally think that it is better to do things in a concise way rather than in a large amount, because you can't chew too much!"

After a pause, facing Guo Hongying's surprised look, he continued calmly: "Whether it's property operation or hotel management, I want to try it, but human energy is limited. I still think that I should take the step of going to the mainland to engage in real estate development first, and then do other things after it goes smoothly."

"what do you think?"

Guo Hongying pondered for a moment, then nodded slowly. She didn't seem unhappy, but said, "Okay! Your idea makes sense. Just do it first, and we'll talk about it later."

Fortunately, my father-in-law finally gave up.

Regardless of whether he has thought about it or not, he is actually worried about the issue of control over the company. In short, it is better to retreat when facing difficulties. Otherwise, he would rather lose some face or even give up on this matter in the end. Cao Yukun will never allow himself to have no absolute control over what he wants to do.

Whether it is beverages, drinking water, electrical appliances, rice cookers, VCDs, or even real estate in the future, Cao Yukun will either do it or not. If he does it, he must have complete control over the matter in his own hands.

Of course, the favor owed to Su Jianshan doesn’t count.

It was just a simple investment, and Cao Yukun had no intention of really getting involved.

But what I talked about with Mr. Xu Youjia yesterday, including what we are talking about now, was different. Xu Youjia clearly expressed that he was willing to give up control, so Cao Yukun would treat it as his own business.

Then, no one can interfere anymore!
Neither can my father-in-law!

In other words, once I put in this money, I would lose absolute control. If there were any disagreements in the future, who would I listen to? My shareholding in this new company with the Xu family and the Guo family would basically be a three-way tie. By that time, we might even fall out.

It would be better to be tougher now!
The old father-in-law was a smart man. Once he understood Cao Yukun's intention, he never mentioned the matter again and quickly turned to talking about the recent political and business news in Hongkong.

After chatting for forty or fifty minutes, smoking a cigar and drinking enough tea, Cao Yukun took Guo Chaoqiong with him, got up to say goodbye and got into the car.

When they got in the car and drove out of Guo's house, Cao Yukun hugged his wife and started whispering in her ear.

What someone insisted on treating us, what white goose girl...

Pansy Kwok didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

However, she knew very well that this was her man - when he was serious, he was so domineering that people would bow down and obey him, and dare not disobey him in the slightest; when he was not serious, he would rub you so hard that you would want to die in his arms and melt into him; when he was chatting seriously, he would make you feel like you had met a lifelong mentor; when he was not chatting seriously, he would make people laugh and cry, but they could not help but want to pamper him and indulge him...

Who would tell his wife that there are two new beautiful girls here, I’m going to have some sex, so I won’t be with you tonight…

"Don't the second and third wives need to accompany you? They're pregnant! And, husband, you're picking up so many girls out there, why don't you accompany them? Why do you have to go to that kind of place?"

"Tsk, that bastard Old Lin owes me a favor! I'm going to get it back! You don't know him, he doesn't spend money except on drinking and other things! There's no oil to be squeezed out!"

Guo Chaoqiong was again at a loss for words, and couldn't help but touch Cao Yukun's face lovingly, "Okay, okay, go and have a taste! But you have to wear a condom, don't get yourself dirty, it will be troublesome if you get infected!"

"I know. Thank you, Mrs. Cao!"
