"Hahahaha, brother, you think too highly of me!"

In Shanghai, the April sun was shining brightly. Cao Yukun specially selected a high-end restaurant to treat his nominal brother-in-law Song Yuhuai to dinner.

After all, we are meeting in a different place, and Shanghai can barely be considered as our home ground, so we have the obligation to entertain them.

However, before coming here, Cao Yukun could never have imagined that the attitude of his brother-in-law, who had always been upright, towards him would change so drastically all of a sudden.

Not only did he apologize when they met, he also kept praising me.

Cao Yukun was praised so much that he felt a little embarrassed, which was unusual for him.

"Even if I was playing the stock market, I just got lucky and made the right bet. How could it be as magical as you say? I'm not a business genius! I can't run the beverage factory. How would I know how to make and sell beverages?"

"So by the end of May, I will pay off all my loans and give you the 192 million. By then, return the IOU to me and the factory will be yours!"

"Don't worry, Yukun. The factory is doomed to fail in my hands. It's obviously a good factory. I invested so much money in it and spent more than three years of my energy. But in the end, I managed it half to death. Only in your hands can it be revived! Just... just put in as much energy as your little fingernail and manage it. You can definitely lead the factory out of the mud! I believe in you!"

"Don't! I don't believe in myself!"

Honestly speaking, from the previous few dealings, Cao Yukun knew that his brother-in-law, whose employment term expires this summer, was actually an honest and down-to-earth man. It was also not difficult to infer from his careful management of every detail of the factory that he was a person who was very serious about his work, even a little too serious.

If he hadn't put so much thought into it, carefully paying attention to details and managing it seriously, to be honest, with the factory's current sales situation, it would be difficult to even make the profit of 70,000 yuan last year.

He seems a bit bookish.

Dealing with this kind of person is not tiring, because basically you don't have to worry about being cheated by him. Whether he admires you, disdains you, or even hates you, he will show it on his face and has no bad intentions.

However... being entangled by him is not pleasant!

When we first met, it was quite nice to hear him praise himself so earnestly. However, once the topic turned to things like stock trading and running a beverage factory, his seriousness became a bit unbearable - he actually kept talking about it for half the meal!

Speaking of stock trading, Cao Yukun dared to say that he had some knowledge of the market trends in at least the last one or two months, but he did not dare to teach him casually, for fear that he would get addicted after getting in. In the next market, once the relevant policies that he expected were released, there would surely be a big rise, but it would definitely not rise forever!
Thirty years later, we are still fighting to defend 3,000 points!

So now the index is less than 600 points, and before 1500 points, you must run away.

It is easy for him to get in, but if he runs too late and falls into the pit, who can he blame?
As for getting drinks - forget it!

First of all, I don’t know how to do that. Secondly… I’m about to get tens of millions of dollars. I can just buy a house and wait for it to appreciate in value. Why do I have to work so hard in a beverage factory?
Do you really think that just by being one of the so-called Four Young Masters of Shanghai and trading stocks for a few days, you can really become the so-called "business genius" in Song Yuhuai's words?

Cao Yukun knew that he was not.

"Okay, okay, I will definitely consider it seriously and carefully..."

Cao Yukun was really at a loss for words after being pestered by him over and over again. He then paid for the meal and shook hands with him to say goodbye.

…………

It was three o'clock in the afternoon, when the Ah Hong Tea House was least crowded. Suddenly, the door was pushed open. Hu Zihong looked up subconsciously, but she immediately became alert. She subconsciously stood up and wanted to speak, but she opened her mouth and closed it again. The person who came in didn't even look at her. He opened the door and said, "Come in!"

A strange-looking iron box was brought in by his bodyguards.

Another television-like object was brought in.

Go straight to the counter.

He finally looked at me straight in the eye, but with a domineering look on his face, "Put away all these things on your counter! Hurry up!" - It was so infuriating!
I just checked his ID card, and he was gone for several days without a trace. I heard that he went to the Dali Palace every day and that he was having a hot affair with the beautiful female boss of the Dali Palace. But when he came back, he didn't say a word to anyone, and just ordered people to do this and that!
The shop is mine! I can put whatever I want on the counter!
Mad!
"Alan, clean up the counter!"

She turned around, sat sideways, chewed broad beans, and didn't even look at Cao Yukun.

Alan, a waiter in the store, hurried over to help clean up, and soon everything was cleaned up, leaving only a lucky cat. Cao Yukun was busy asking people to find an extension cord, and he even prepared electrical wires and extension strips, and brought the electricity directly to the counter. Then, he quickly assembled the things he had people bring, plugged them in, and soon the TV-like thing lit up.

Until this time, his two bodyguards who helped to move things went out, and he turned his head and looked at himself, "I asked, and now a set of magnetic card system is quite expensive. The key is that you don't need a whole set. That whole set of equipment has many card readers, and you only need one. Why not do it yourself!"

"Look! I wrote a program for you, and I bought you a magnetic card reader and a card. I worked on it for more than a day, and after lunch I swiped all the cards for you. Now you can use it without worry! A programmer with ten years of experience guarantees that this system will never crash! There will be absolutely no bugs!"

She looked at him pretentiously, "What is this?"

"Microcomputer, this is the host, this is the display, this is the magnetic card reader, these are your VIP cards! They are all made for you for 1200 yuan each, buy them if you want, forget it if you don't, top up and get free! So the balance on the card is yuan, I'll tell you how to operate it later!"

"What are you...making this for? For me?"

"Yeah, here you go!"

He smiled, "I said it before. If old customers want discounts, I will say I have a way. I will definitely fulfill my promise! Then just give them a gift! This method works! Especially now, it is probably more effective. It is better than rounding off here and there, and people will feel that they are getting a bargain! Old customers are not short of money, so it is not a problem for you to sell dozens of tickets in your store! Over time, everyone will accept it. I have built-in accounting software for you. It may be a little difficult to learn, but once you learn it, you will definitely like it!"

Hu Zihong didn't care about whether to keep accounts or not, or whether to use a computer or not. She just stared at Cao Yukun and bit her lips gently.

So the two looked at each other.

"I don't want it!" she said with her neck stiff.

Cao Yukun was stunned for a moment, then nodded slowly, "Okay! Move out immediately!"

After he finished speaking, he turned around and was about to open the door to invite Li Xuegen and the others in. However, before he could even take a step away, Hu Zihong hugged him from behind, "Why are you so cruel! If I said I don't want you, then you just move out!"

When she hugged him, several shop assistants who were idle and watching the fun, especially the girls, blushed and turned their heads away quickly - Oh my God, she hugged him while we were still in the store!
Cao Yukun slowly broke free from her arms and turned around.

She looked up timidly, and suddenly showed weakness, which was rare for her. "I'm sorry!"
