Brilliant Years 1991

Chapter 243 Cao Sheng's Number One Henchman

"Hey, our hero is back! Welcome, welcome!"

On Monday morning, even Cao Yukun went to the elevator entrance to greet him in person, so much so that as soon as the elevator door opened, Fang Zhihao in the elevator was stunned for a moment.

And then, Cao Yukun even gave him a big warm hug.

After everyone entered the company, Cao Yukun suggested that everyone applaud to welcome the return of General Manager Fang Zhihaohao, who had successfully helped the company expand the Malaysian market.

There was no doubt that warm applause quickly broke out in the company.

It definitely gave enough face to Mr. Hao who returned with honor.

Although it is basically copying Cao Yukun's successful plan in Hongkong, it must be said that from August and September until now, that is, for three or four months, President Hao personally led the team to develop the markets of Lijiaopo and Malaysia. Up to now, the two markets combined can contribute more than 14000 tons of sales to the company each month, which is enough to compete with the Hongkong market created by Cao Yukun.

Although there are many factors such as longer transportation distance, higher freight, lower market price than Hong Kong, more concessions to local dealers, etc., which result in the sales volume over there not being as profitable as Hong Kong's, there is still a net profit of approximately 5000 million Hong Kong dollars every month!

Very cool!
The beverage sales of Yiren Kangyin are definitely Cao Yukun's biggest cash cow to date. In the whole month of November, it contributed a staggering profit of more than 1.2 million Hong Kong dollars to Cao Yukun, supporting his series of investments and ambitions. Among them, the rapidly growing Malaysian market is almost the most eye-catching achievement.

To be honest, if Mr. Hao could be more restrained in Malaysia, or in other words, not be so greedy so early, or even wait until the business really takes off before starting to cut back a little, Cao Yukun would be ready to continue to use him when he comes back this time - he does have the ability.

But... well, there was a celebration banquet in the evening and all the colleagues in the company went to continue to give enough face and honor to President Hao. When they were drunk, Cao Yukun sat quietly in the booth smoking and watching President Hao's unruly and proud arrogance when he was at the peak of his life.

The next morning, when he arrived, I called him into the office.

Ah Hao, you have done an outstanding job since you joined the company. I really like your courage in doing things. However, you have been away for several months. Ah Jing has told me many times that your family members are dissatisfied. So, I will arrange for someone else to look after the markets in Lijiaopo and Malaysia, and you don't have to go there anymore.

Give me a raise, an annual salary of 600,000, and come back to continue being your vice president. I still need you to help me with some of the company's daily affairs, so that I can feel at ease!
Ah Hao had a grim look on his face, and repeatedly expressed that he still hoped to continue to develop the Malaysian market. Next, he had even made plans to develop the Thai and Indonesian markets. Cao Yukun took the plan, flipped through it, and expressed his extreme appreciation. It was a great job, and very thoughtful!

But don't go. I'll leave this plan for your next person to refer to. If it is successful and the market is well developed in the future, you will also have a share of the credit!
Just stay and take care of the chores for me!
The markets in Lijiaopo and Malaysia were opened up by you with your hard work. I know you are reluctant to let go of them. I have given you rewards before, but they are not enough. Around New Year's Day, there will be a big year-end bonus for you!
Ah Hao was always annoyed. He said again in a very firm tone that the Lijiaopo market was an almost absolute Chinese market, so he would feel more at ease handing it over to someone else. However, the situation in Malaysia was complicated, and he was very worried about hastily changing someone to take over. He hoped to be given some more time, preferably half a year, so that he could thoroughly develop the market. Secondly, no matter who you want to replace with, Mr. Cao, I can guide him and then hand it over to him.

Cao Yukun leaned his hands behind his back, leaning on the desk, and looked at Ah Hao, who was lying on the sofa with an uneasy look on his face, with a smile on his face. Finally, he decided to give up this gentle approach.

He turned around, took out his checkbook, and quickly filled out the checks.

After filling it out, he tore it off, walked to the sofa area, sat down next to Mr. Hao, put his arm around his shoulders, and showed him the check. "Here, three million, as a reward for your contribution! It's okay to give it to you in advance! You know, Ajing is my woman, and you are my brother-in-law. I am always willing to spend money on my own people!"

Ah Hao was a little dazed, but when he came to his senses, he seemed extremely excited.

Three million Hong Kong dollars! Even if the economy is prosperous, this amount of money is enough for many people to earn for most of their lives. A high-paid white-collar worker would only earn 80,000 or 100,000 Hong Kong dollars a year, and ordinary people would earn even less.

Of course, Mr. Hao was moved.

But then Cao Yukun's words made him feel as if he was falling into an ice cave. "I am happy to give this money. I am happy to give it. Haha! However, for some of the money I am not happy to give, you can take some time to go to Malaysia, take it out, and give it to the company over there. Let them find another reason to record it in the account, and then fill it back. What do you say?"

After two or three seconds, when Mr. Hao came to his senses, cold sweat broke out.

Turning around, Cao Sheng had a smile on his face and didn't seem to have any intention of blaming me.

He even asked again, "Is three million enough? If not, just ask, and I'll add more! We are all family, and I still say that you are my brother-in-law, so how could I possibly treat you unfairly?"

Ah Hao opened his mouth again and again.

Judging from his expression, he seemed to be planning to defend himself and explain himself.

However, looking at Cao Yukun's face, he hesitated for a few seconds, and suddenly slid down from the sofa, and knelt there with a plop, "Mr. Cao... I, I, I..."

"Oh, get up! Get up! Millions of dollars are nothing! Get up! Stop being so worthless! Get up, you idiot! Get up!"

Mr. Ah Hao was pulled up trembling with fear by Cao Yukun and pressed back onto the sofa, his face pale.

"Don't be afraid! I've told you! How could I treat you unfairly? Take this three million, you deserve it! If you need money in the future, just come to me and ask for it. Don't mention that you have opened up such a large market for the company. Even if it's just because you are Ajing's brother, I will never let you go back empty-handed! Do you understand?"

"If you're hanging out with me, you're still afraid of having no money to spend? Are you kidding me?"

"But you also have to understand that I own a company, and I can't set a bad precedent for the company, right? I will let Sister Hua handle this matter in person in Malaysia!"

"Do you understand? It's a stain, you have to clean it up! You can't leave stains in your life, understand?"

Ah Hao always shed tears like rain, and nodded his head frequently while crying.

"Alright, alright, stop crying! You're mine, I'll protect you for the rest of my life! Don't worry, I've already told Sister Hua, I'll definitely help you erase all traces!"

Ah Hao finally started to cry, "Mr. Cao, I, I... I didn't dare to do it at first, but then I don't know why, I suddenly became obsessed with it, and I... I... Then I got used to it, I..."

"Oh, it's okay! We are one family, who can be free from mistakes? If you make a mistake, just correct it, and you can still be good brothers after that! As for money, everyone likes it, and there is nothing wrong in liking money, but a gentleman should earn money in a proper way! You got the money in the wrong way! You should have asked me directly!"

"If you ask me for it, I would give it to you. But you just cut it yourself. You're taking me for a fool! You think I can't check the accounts? You think I can't notice that the expenses there are a little too high? Stupid! Stupid, Ahao! You've been following me for half a year. When I came to Hongkong, the first person I met was you! You're my number one henchman! Fuck!"

Ah Hao started to cry again, "Mr. Cao, I... wuwuwu..."

"Don't cry, what are you crying for? I've told you, the three million belongs to you, no matter how much you embezzled, you have to pay it back to me and put it back into the company's account, and then you don't have to go anywhere, you have to stay in Hongkong and help me with lawsuits, go to the police station, buy villas, take care of the daily affairs of the company, occasionally appear on TV and make speeches for me... and you're still crying, is that okay?" "Yes! Yes! I will do my best in the future, I will never dare to do it again!"

"Don't dare to give up! A dog will never change its nature! Remember this and don't touch money again! Don't ask about anything related to money in the company. If you need money, come to me for help. Do you understand?"

"I understand! I understand!"

"Fuck your sister! Here, wipe your tears! Walk out of this office clean and with a smile on your face! Don't let others laugh at you!"

…………

This is just a small episode.

He solved Ah Hao's problem quickly and neatly. The next day, he and Sister Hua flew to Malaysia. They were accompanied by two people recently selected by Cao Yukun.

They will replace Mr. Ahao's previous position and manage the Leekath and Malaysia markets for the company respectively.

In short, perhaps in other companies, this would be a big deal, and if it got out of hand, it might even be reported to the Audit Office and the police. But with Cao Yukun, at Yiren Kangyin, Cao Yukun solved the matter calmly with a check and a scolding.

Except for a very limited number of people involved, the vast majority of ordinary employees in the company, or even from beginning to end, would not know that such a thing had happened.

Ah Hao has basically managed to save his face!

To be honest, he has always been regarded by Cao Yukun as his first henchman after he came to Hongkong!

What's more, Fang Lijing is young and beautiful, well-behaved and sensible, and Cao Yukun likes her very much.

But solving Mr. Hao's problem was really not a big deal for Cao Yukun in his daily life - he had been very busy recently, extremely busy.

Mainly because of the two new companies.

One is the electronics factory that was previously purchased by using 4 million new shares issued by Joyoung Electric. Once Cao Yukun took over the company, which was actually a company that had been losing money for many years, it was obviously impossible for him to let it continue to operate as before - if it continued to operate as before, it would continue to lose money!

So, just like when he took over the original Aijia Electric Appliances, once he had dealt with all the formalities and procedures, he quickly took his people back to the workshop.

To put it bluntly, this is a circuit board factory.

There is a certain amount of technological content, and it is not low.

However, in today's Hongkong, the overall technology industry has no supporting facilities at all, and the upstream and downstream of the production chain are almost gone. Labor is expensive and sales are limited, so of course it will lose money.

Examine it, understand it, delve into it, and figure it out.

Then, when the time is right, all its production capacity will be moved to the mainland!

This was the development plan that Cao Yukun had already planned since he took over Joyoung Electric Appliances - in the future, Hongkong, like Joyoung Electric Appliances and circuit board factories, will have even less room for survival!
But as long as it moves to the mainland, it will immediately become a high-tech enterprise!

Then there is the second one, which is the real estate company that Mr. Xu Youjia took the initiative to express his desire to cooperate with.

It’s called Shengda Real Estate Co., Ltd.

Whether it is the acquisition of 28% of Shengda Real Estate shares held by Taiyuan Group controlled by Xu Youjia, or Cao Yukun's subsequent investment of another million Hong Kong dollars, all are follow-up matters.

Cao Yukun first had to understand the company's basic configuration and basic situation.

This alone is a lot of work.

But he never does anything that he is not sure of, and he will never be willing to invest money in a new company that he does not know anything about, so he is not willing to save on any of the preliminary preparation work.

I had to work hard, read the information carefully, and take inventory and think carefully.

And even in such a busy situation... Hey, it's so overwhelming, I can't stand it, Miss Xu Huiya is like crazy, calling me almost every day, even if I am repeatedly rejected, she still refuses to give up!
Call every day, call every day!
One of her, and one of Bentley's best friends, Fang Lijun...

In between, Yu Feihong would often call from the capital, saying that she missed her husband so much that she lost weight and had a high fever that day...

Ugh……

Hongkong was also very busy here!

During the day, he was busy with work and making money, and he couldn't be careless. He couldn't even spare time to go shopping and eat with his girlfriends. At night, Cao Yukun was sensible and usually tried to stay with his three wives in turn. However, on the day he stayed with two pregnant women, he was afraid that he could not hold out at night and put his hands on the pregnant women, but he still felt unsatisfied. So he would take time during the day to ask his girlfriends out to have fun.

The two new Bentleys are his favorites.

Even foreign horses can't compare to them - foreign horses are just trying something new, they can't compare with Lin Qingkui and Lin Qingwei!
Just like that, day by day, it was already mid-December before we knew it.

Finally, Song Yuhua took the small team out for a full half month, and as luck would have it, they returned to Hongkong just on the Double Twelve Day.
