Brilliant Years 1991

Chapter 88 My daughter is stupid! She is obedient!

After hanging up the phone, Cao Yukun walked to the window and looked out, only to see a Cadillac already at the door and the security guard had already come out - Xie Zhaofang was not approaching the beverage factory at all, he had clearly already arrived!
Cao Yukun thought about it, picked up the phone, dialed the number at the gate, and asked them to let the car in.

A few minutes later, Xie Zhaofang came over and knocked on the office door. He waited for Cao Yukun to agree before he pushed the door open and came in, appearing particularly polite. "Hey, Akun, haha! I'm here to apologize to you!"

Cao Yukun smiled and waved his hands. Although he felt a little amused, he still restrained himself and did not deliberately observe other people's expressions. "I don't deserve it! Xiaoyu is older than me. If you consider me your elder brother, how should Xiaoyu address me? That would be a mess!... Sit down!"

Xie Zhaofang laughed loudly upon hearing this and said, "That's right!"

Office director Tao Mingqi then knocked on the door and came in, and Cao Yukun asked him to pour tea.

After he had been busy for a while and said goodbye, Xie Zhaofang continued with a smile, "Xiaoyu is such a good and honest child!... In fact, we talked about you later, and Xiaoyu was very grateful to you! Haha, girls are so shy, and she is too honest, so she was embarrassed to take the initiative to go to you to thank you!"

"She actually thanked me!"

"Oh? Really? That's great, that's great! My daughter is better than me!... Ah Kun, I'm going to tell you something that only an uncle can say. Girls are shy, and they are too embarrassed to say what they want to say!... My daughter is great, she actually took the initiative to thank you, that's great!... Don't you agree?"

Cao Yukun looked at him in surprise.

He had a hearty smile on his face, as if he was just praising his daughter for being sensible.

Honestly speaking, the phone call just now had already somewhat damaged Xie Zhaofang's image of a tough guy in his mind. Now, it felt even more...

There was no real grudge between them. In fact, Cao Yukun really liked Xie Xiaoyu. It turned out that Ma Zhong Chitu was both respectful and afraid of a tough guy like Xie Zhaofang. At this time, he was so humble, so Cao Yukun was willing to give him face, "Uncle Xie, have some tea!"

After hearing the name "Uncle Xie", Xie Zhaofang immediately became really happy. He took out a piece of paper from his trouser pocket and handed it to Cao Yukun, "I bought a pager for this girl. You are both young people, so you should keep in touch more often! Haha!"

Cao Yukun took it, took a look at it, and silently put it in his trouser pocket, "Okay, I'll remember Uncle Xie!"

Now he suddenly understood why Xie Zhaofang, who was famous for his toughness, was able to build up his business and make it so big - when it was time to bow his head, he really bowed his head!
However, I was still a little confused. "Actually, there was nothing wrong between Xiaoyu and me! I was also young and naive at that time. I didn't say a few words to Xiaoyu at that time!"

He chuckled, "I know! I know! There's still time now!"

Ok……

What you mean is that as long as you haven’t gotten married yet, there’s still time, right?

Cao Yukun didn't believe that he hadn't heard the rumors about him and the Song family in the county...

"Ah Kun, I didn't know this before, but I just heard last night that you've become a big shot in the Magic City! Incredible! From now on, the younger generation in our county will depend on you! My son is shit, I raise him like a dog, and I even complain that he sheds hair! But he is my own child after all, I can't just deny him, right? It's against the law to beat him to death! Alas!"

"And Song Hongxing's son, damn, it's not that I look down on him, I can think of a way better than him with my toes! He is just a pure nerd! But it seems that Old Song has no other choice. He has spent so much money, probably wanting to teach him little by little, but in the end, can this thing be taught? It can't be taught! This thing is purely innate! Look... Such a big and good factory, I sold it to you, didn't I?"

Cao Yukun looked at him with amusement, "Uncle Xie...what do you want to say?"

Xie Zhaofang laughed twice, his face gradually became serious, and he said: "Actually, I know that I offended you when I called you last time. So I came to apologize. You should be generous and don't bother with your uncle Xie! Your uncle Xie is old and can't take care of things for a few more years. In the future, if there is anything happening in our county, you have to take care of my two ignorant sons of a bitch!"

Cao Yukun found it funny, but before he could reply, Xie Zhaofang continued, "I don't know how much Old Song paid to sell this factory to you. He must have asked you for money. He definitely wouldn't give it to you for free!"

"I know him too well. He is stingy to death! But I am not like that, Uncle Xie! My silk factory has been doing pretty well in recent years, right? The annual turnover is about 150 million, and the net profit is about million. What do you think? If you like it, I will give it to you! I won't charge you a penny!"

Damn it...

"Uncle Xie, this is a joke!"

"No kidding! Even if I'm kidding, I won't joke like this! Xiaoyu is already 22 this year. If she doesn't get married, she will become an old maid! But it just so happens that she is three years older than you, so she is a rich man! How about it? I have seen the two daughters of the Song family a few years ago. I don't know what they have become recently, but I am still confident that my daughter, even if she is not better than the two girls of the Song family, at least she is no worse than them!"

"..."

"More importantly, my daughter is stupid! She is obedient!"

"..."

Cao Yukun rubbed his nose and said, "Xu Hualei is not very willing to take your goods? Silk or cotton?"

Xie Zhaofang laughed loudly, slapped his thigh suddenly, then came closer and said, "That's no big deal. As long as you two get married, the silk factory will belong to you. Do you need me to teach you how to run this business?" This time it was Cao Yukun's turn to laugh.

After thinking for a while, he answered seriously, "Uncle Xie, I dare not promise you now, because I really have never touched foreign trade and don't understand this. However, I plan to invite Lao Xu to have a meal at noon, and I will ask for you, okay?"

Xie Zhaofang clapped his hands fiercely, "It's so easy! Talking to you is so easy!"

As he was talking, he was about to stand up, but then sat down again. "You guys eat your lunch, and tonight, how about we have a couple of drinks? Let's make up for the past grudges. How can we make up for the past grudges without wine?"

Cao Yukun laughed out loud, "Okay! I'll have a couple of drinks with you tonight!"

"It's done!"

He immediately stood up and walked to the door. He turned back and pointed at the trouser pocket of Cao Yukun who had come to him. "Hit her pager! Hit her! It doesn't matter if she goes to that crappy class or not. We can't let it interfere with our relationship!"

Cao Yukun couldn't help but laugh again.

…………

At around eleven o'clock, Cao Yukun rushed to the county guesthouse, asked the front desk, and asked them to help make a phone call to call Xu Hualei down and invite him to find a place to eat outside.

In front of Cao Yukun, Xu Hualei didn't dare to put on airs. She left her secretary and driver at the guesthouse and got into Cao Yukun's big van.

This person is engaged in foreign trade, but in the early spring of this year, he also bought some subscription certificates at a price of four or five hundred yuan, so he can be considered to be doing stocks on the side - these days, especially in Shanghai, many people are like this, they do whatever they can, and they do it as long as they can, so it is common for them to do several businesses at the same time.

And because Jin Zhiqiang has always been particularly respectful to Cao Yukun, and because of his reputation as one of the "Four Young Masters of Shanghai", people on the periphery like Xu Hualei are actually not very clear about the true relationship between Jin Zhiqiang and Cao Yukun, and are not very clear about Cao Yukun's background, so they generally treat him with special respect.

With this premise, it is convenient to find out things.

Xu Hualei is indeed planning to export a batch of silk this year. He is currently in contact with both domestic and foreign parties. There is no big problem on the outside buyer's side. Domestic silk has always been the best. Foreigners actually love it very much and it is easy to sell. Now he is just selecting factories in the Jiangnan area as suppliers.

He had already inspected Xie Zhaofang's silk factory, and the products were definitely qualified, but there were too many factories and products for him to choose from, so he had not decided yet.

That was just a favor, so Cao Yukun simply mentioned that he had some friendship with Xie Zhaofang, and he immediately made the decision at the table, "Then I'll give him three or four million for the first batch of goods, and let him try it first! If they think the goods are good, I'll send another batch in the second half of the year, and then I'll give him more!"

So that night, Cao Yukun passed this message to Xie Zhaofang.

Xie Zhaofang slapped his thigh and said, "Great!"

He then said, "Although the factory is not yours yet, I, your uncle Xie, cannot deny your efforts. So, for the first batch of goods, no matter how much you make, I will have the finance department combine the accounts, and all the money you make will be yours. I, your uncle Xie, will not keep a penny! For the goods that leave in the future, no matter how much you make, we will each take half. How about that?"

Honestly, if you do this, you'd be a bit like an intermediary who specializes in facilitating business.

But Cao Yukun doesn't mind this. He is just a fool if he doesn't want to give money!

So he took the initiative to pick up the wine glass, "I'll take half of the first payment! I won't be in charge of the things in the future! You can't take money for things I can't control! Come on, Uncle Xie, if you agree, let's drink!"

Xie Zhaofang laughed loudly, raised his wine glass, clinked it with Cao Yukun's, and drank it all in one gulp.

As a result, I drank a lot more.

Cao Yukun could drink a fair amount of alcohol and didn't get drunk, but he was not willing to drive on that mountain road with alcohol in his body, and he also declined the suggestion of Xie Zhaofang's driver to take him home first. After the show, he watched Xie Zhaofang's car leave, thought about it, and simply drove the car into the guesthouse, checked in a room at the front desk, and planned to sleep it off and go back tomorrow.

As a result, he took the key and went upstairs. When he was looking for the room, a door suddenly opened and it was Director Zhao Xiaolan who came out. Cao Yukun was stunned for a moment, and Zhao Xiaolan was also stunned when she saw that it was him.

Cao Yukun came to his senses and turned away without even saying hello.

Zhao Xiaolan was stunned for a moment, but she came to her senses immediately. She couldn't help but feel embarrassed and angry, and wanted to laugh, "Come back here!"
