Siheyuan: Pretend to be a Pig and Eat the Tiger

Vladimir was baffled. "Why don't you share your memories so we can all laugh together? Why are you laughing all by yourself? Don't people from China understand sharing?"

However, Chen Xueru is a guest, so I can't keep pressing her for details, can I? If you won't tell me, I'll at least change the subject, okay?
"Mr. Vladimir, do you think this change is good or bad?"

He Yuzhu followed closely behind. Chen Xueru was no good person; if this continued, he would burst out laughing!
"Of course it's good. The decision made by the capital of China is correct. We are also trying our best, but of course, our progress is much slower than yours. Mr. He, you are already a successful businessman, while we are still wasting our lives, living a life of idleness and waiting to die..."

Vlamikl yearns for an era of commercial freedom, and his own father is also working towards that goal. Only with commercial freedom can the family transform itself as quickly as possible, becoming as detached from the world as the two families of the Bald Eagle.
"Hehe, you guys are keeping up with the pace too. What do you think of Zhen'er's suggestion? Mr. Vladimir, there's a severe shortage of light industrial products here, and China happens to be able to provide a full range of products. How about we cooperate, make a fortune together?"

Seeing that the meal was almost over and the reminiscing was finished, He Yuzhu knew that if he didn't get to the main topic soon, the whole dinner would have been for nothing!

“Absolutely no problem. I have already established a foreign trade company under the Ministry of Foreign Trade. However, this company is experimental and will be subject to supervision by the Ministry of Foreign Trade in many situations. Therefore, it does not have complete say. Mr. He, is there a problem?”

When it came to serious matters, Flamikil also became serious. He Yuzhu was no longer the cook he used to be; his status and position were completely different. If he wanted to make money, he had to take this seriously.
The family has already discussed it. The foreign trade company business is feasible, and we can even take the form of equity investment. However, Vlamikl must be the main figure, and there is no room for discussion.
Therefore, He Yuzhu's attitude is very important if this matter is to be accomplished. As the second son of the family, cooperation with He Yuzhu is crucial for increasing the family's influence and fighting for the right of succession with the eldest son. It cannot be lost!

"What do you mean by not having much say? Mr. Vladimir, I am a businessman and I will not do business with your government!"

He Yuzhu inwardly curled his lip. "Damn it, you don't have much say? Your dad's a senior executive at the foreign trade company, a company affiliated with the Ministry of Foreign Trade, and you think you don't have much say? That's ridiculous."
Vladimir, you're overthinking things by trying to play these tricks on a Chinese person. Don't you know that Chinese people are the masters of intrigue and scheming?

"No, no, Mr. He, we're old friends. To tell you the truth, the person in charge of this foreign trade company is my brother, not me. I'm just your contact person. Do you understand what I mean now?"

Flamkiel hadn't expected He Yuzhu to refuse; this wouldn't do, as the family attached great importance to this collaboration.

If the meeting ends badly, one's status in the family will plummet. Polar bears and China have many similarities.

For example, once a member of a large family loses value to the family, he will definitely be marginalized. If he fails this time, he can only continue to work in the foreign trade department and live a nine-to-five life. This is not what he wants. What he really wants is the decadent life of those Western playboys.

“Mr. Flamikil, tell your father that I, He Yuzhu, will only cooperate with you. Of course, if we can't reach an agreement, I will continue to look for new partners.”
Mr. Flamikil, you should know that my products have no shortage of sellers. As long as the word gets out, some families here will want to cooperate. It's not that I have to be with your family.
I'm only giving you this opportunity to cooperate because we're old friends. After all, we Chinese people still trust our old friends, understand?

He Yuzhu smiled meaningfully, picked up his wine glass and made a toasting gesture, then put it down, grabbed his clothes, and left. Chen Xueru and Chen Zhen smiled apologetically and followed closely behind. The three of them moved in one smooth motion, without any hesitation!
"Elena, aren't the people from China the most fond of keeping things a secret? When did you become so straightforward? Is this true?"

Flamigil was bewildered by He Yuzhu's actions. He shrugged and turned to ask Elena, who had been silent.

“Oh, Mr. Flamikil, I think you’re mistaken. Today’s He Yuzhu is not the same He Yuzhu as before;
Mr. He Yuzhu owns eighteen He Family Restaurants in Beijing, and they are now spreading in an exaggerated way.

As far as I know, He's Restaurant has completed its expansion plan in several provincial capitals around Beijing. I believe that in less than five years, He's Restaurant will be able to open all over China.
China has a population of 1 billion. Just think about how huge that market is. Therefore, Mr. He's strength is extraordinary, even beyond your imagination.
This is the allure of China's reform and opening up: if you want to take a dominant position, Mr. He certainly won't agree; if you want to cooperate, put away your petty thoughts, otherwise, it'll all fall apart!

Elena watched He Yuzhu's retreating figure thoughtfully. This legendary man was indeed extraordinary. She had noticed his difference back then, and now he was even more charming.
Chen Xueru is an old friend, and she naturally knows this woman's pride. He Yuzhu can turn a strong woman like Chen Xueru into a gentle woman, which shows his ability.

Flamigil is just a good-for-nothing who relies on his family. How could he possibly want to take the lead in his cooperation with Mr. He and even exploit this amazing Mr. He?

It seems that seeing the current situation, Elena has made up her mind to divorce him. The family crisis has passed, and this man is blindly arrogant and does not deserve her at all.

Rather than continuing to wallow in this idiot's ways, I'd rather just get a divorce and choose freedom!

“But He Yuzhu came to Polar Bear to find a partner. Is there anyone more suitable to partner with here than me? Elena, there isn’t one!”

Vlamikl still couldn't believe it. How dare He Yuzhu leave? The Ministry of Foreign Trade was under his father's control. Without him, who would dare to cooperate with him?
"Vlamikl, as far as I know, there are quite a few families in our polar bear clan that are stronger than yours, at least six. Including our family, do you still think you are He Yuzhu's only choice? Heh!"

Elena curled her lip. Did you really think your family could control everything? These families chose to cooperate with He Yuzhu in order to open the door to cooperation in China. How many times would your father dare to directly stop them?
Thinking this, Elena didn't want to stay any longer. The person she wanted to see had already left, so what was the point of staying? To look at this idiot?

"Vlamik, if you want to cooperate, be more proactive. Don't try to monopolize the company's rights and interests, otherwise, it won't work out!" (End of Chapter)
