Chapter 1070 A fire in winter
At this time, Shanghai had entered the annual winter season. After the banquet, Suning took Betty to Delin Apartment. This was the first time he came back to check and live there after the renovation was completed.

Betty didn't expect that Suning's mansion in Shanghai was actually the top floor of Delin Apartment. Looking at this luxurious, low-key and meaningful top-level mansion, Betty, a native of Shanghai, completely fell into Suning's hands.

Betty took Su Ning's arm and widened her eyes in shock. The luxury here was beyond her imagination. "Brother, I didn't expect your mansion to be so amazing?"

Squeezing Betty's shoulders, Su Ning explained with a smug look on his face, "I put a lot of thought into acquiring this Delin Apartment. I even sold all my stocks to raise funds. Six months later, my stock value grew to 800 yuan."

"That's such a shame! If you had sold at the highest point, your profits would have multiplied several times."

Suning knows that the most dangerous thing about stock trading is greed. Those who lose a lot of money don't know when to quit. "Actually, I don't feel any regret. After all, the goal of stock trading is never to make the last profit."

Then Betty looked at the man who was so close to her and asked, "Brother, can you show me around here?"

"Okay! Actually, the most worthwhile thing to see is the big bed in the master bedroom. Let's go to the master bedroom and experience it now, okay?"

"what……"

Then Suning directly picked up the bright and charming Betty, not caring about Betty's panic and screams, and strode directly towards the master bedroom with the beautiful woman in his arms.

After Betty was placed on the big bed by Suning in a domineering manner, she was also stunned by the so-called big bed in Suning's master bedroom. It seemed that there was no problem lying on five or six people at a time.

The woman, who had completely given up resistance at this point, finally resigned herself to her fate and made a request, "Brother, can you please let me take a shower first? We first flew back to Shanghai, and then went to the Jinjiang Hotel for a banquet. I'm really exhausted."

"Then let's go together. I happened to have a surprise prepared in the bathroom."

"what……"

Then Suning pulled Betty into the bathroom of the mansion to see the "surprise". Looking at the strange facilities inside the bathroom, Betty's mind was immediately filled with "debauchery".

It felt like the equipment in the bathroom was specifically designed to satisfy Suning's personal enjoyment, and it echoed the oversized bed in the master bedroom, once again refreshing Betty's perception of "extravagance".

Of course, Betty was very clear and understood in her mind that she was the first woman to enjoy these big beds and facilities, but she definitely could not be the only or the last woman.

Looking at the strange things in the huge bathroom, Betty couldn't help but blush and her heart beat fast. "Brother, where did you get all these things? They may not even be available in Hong Kong."

These things naturally came from his own spatial world, and they were absolutely unique in this world. "I had these things specially custom-made for me. Not only do they not exist in Hong Kong, but even in big cities like New York and Paris."

"Humph! You're so mean! You think about these things every day."

"Everyone has their own preferences. Some people love fame, some people love money, but my hobby is..."

"Brother, if I get old and lose my looks someday, will you kick me out?"

"Betty, that's because you don't understand me yet. Although I'm a womanizer, I'm definitely not an irresponsible man. No matter what, I'll be responsible for the rest of your life."

"Brother, thank you."

"Hey, thanking you with your mouth alone won't do."

"..."

That night, Suning and Betty naturally had a great time. After all, Suning not only brought Betty material enjoyment, but also achieved things in matters between men and women that exceeded Betty's imagination.

Now Betty doesn't have many choices in her life, and her most precious youth has been wasted on the wrong path, so the appearance of Suning once again brings new hope to Betty's bleak life.

After the wind and rain stopped, Betty hugged the man beside her and asked puzzledly, "Brother, how did you know my information?"

Su Ning explained without hiding anything, "It's a coincidence! When I was investigating another person, I happened to know a little about you."

"Who?"

"Abao."

As expected, hearing this name made Betty panic. "What? Po? Why are you investigating him?"

"I secretly invested a sum of money in him, so I investigated his details in advance. I just didn't expect to meet you in Hong Kong."

After learning about the special relationship between Suning and Abao, Betty immediately explained nervously, "Brother, Abao and I are already in the past. We broke up seven or eight years ago."

"I know! Everyone has a past. What I need is your future."

"Brother, I will never let you down."

Suning actually doesn't care whether Betty can keep her promise to him. You know, sometimes women are just for Suning to kill time.

Life is long! I really need something interesting and fun to spice things up, otherwise, Suning believes he would have gone completely crazy long ago.

……

Another thing that Suning did when it returned to Shanghai this time was the listing of Zisu Clothing. After all, the Zisu Clothing flagship stores in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen have been renovated, and it is time to set off a big fire in the cold winter.

On Christmas Day in 1987, Zisu Clothing opened its four flagship stores in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen simultaneously. The flagship store on Nanjing Road in Shanghai invited Fei Xiang to perform at the store entrance, causing a severe traffic jam on Nanjing Road for nearly an hour. Had Suning not reported this to the Shanghai Municipal Public Security Bureau in advance and deployed a large number of AI robots as temporary security, a serious stampede might have occurred.

The opening ceremony of Zisu Clothing was naturally unprecedentedly grand, so the effect achieved was immediate. Many mainstream media at home and abroad reported it extensively. After all, Shanghai Nanjing Road has always been a key point that can shake the Chinese fashion circle.

The fire started by Suning in the winter of 1987 shocked the whole of Shanghai and was rapidly spreading and influencing the whole country. Fei Xiang then rushed to the Zisu clothing flagship stores in other cities, so this fire made Zisu clothing completely popular across the country.

Director He of Xinyi Pharmaceuticals had come to show his support, but he was stunned by the grandeur of the Zisu Clothing. "Mr. Su, you're really generous this time! Just having Fei Xiang perform in front of the flagship store must have cost a lot of money, right?"

At this time, Suning smiled and explained, "It's okay! It's only one million."

As expected, Director He's eyes widened in shock. This would be impossible for a state-owned enterprise like Xinyi Pharmaceutical. "Oh my God! One million RMB isn't a lot?"

"Director He, this one million is directly proportional to the results achieved. It is definitely a high-return expenditure that is well worth the money."

"That's right! Maybe this is the advantage of your private enterprise. After all, you can make the final decision on such a large sum of money by yourself."

Then Su Ning pointed at the crowd in front of him and asked, "How about it? Director He, do you want to buy some clothes for your sister-in-law and nephews and nieces?"

"Haha, that's for sure! I see that your Shisu clothing styles are all the latest."

"Don't worry, Director He! We at Zisu Clothing have our own design team, and they are definitely the best in the world today."

"I see! But why are the logos for men's and women's clothing different?"

"Perilla is also known as Suzi, which is the seed shape of Perilla, and is generally pure green, so it was used as the logo for men's clothing. As for fresh Perilla leaves, they are mainly purple, which is just right as a unique logo for women's clothing. In order to enhance the cultural connotation of Perilla clothing, we use traditional Chinese characters and have registered our own brand around the world."

"Great! But you, Zisu Clothing, don't have your own clothing factory. You outsource everything to other large state-owned knitting factories. Aren't you worried about counterfeit goods?"

"Haha, although we at Zisu Clothing don't have our own clothing factory, we do have a factory that specializes in producing logos and certificates of conformity. Take the "logo" of Zisu Clothing, for example. The materials used are all specially configured by our technical department. It is absolutely unique in the world. Moreover, each piece of clothing has its own unique code and production date. You can even check the process numbers of the workers who handled it on the computer. We at Zisu Clothing are absolutely serious about anti-counterfeiting."

"Oh my God! Mr. Su, I can sense that you have high expectations this time."

"Of course! I'm going for a world-famous brand with a long history. Besides, the fabrics of these Shiso clothes are exclusively developed by us. Trying to imitate them would be a farce."

At this moment, Director He was stunned, but also revealed a meaningful expression, "Boss Su, it seems that you are planning to further develop the clothing industry?"

"Not necessarily! After all, all business activities must follow national policies. Currently, there are only a few industries that have been liberalized by the policy. So, after the Zisu Clothing business is on track, I also plan to open a high-end restaurant on Huanghe Road. Then we will have our own home."

"Alright! If you need anything when you open the store, just let me know. Our Xinyi Pharmaceutical Factory still has quite a bit of influence in Shanghai."

"That's great! I'm thinking of buying a building right on Huanghe Road, preferably one in a good location. I wonder if Director He has any connections who could help me contact them one day. As for the price, that's easy to negotiate."

"Boss Su, I feel like you really like buying houses?"

"I can't help it! I came to Shanghai from Shandong to make a living. The most annoying thing is being harassed by the landlord every day. I might as well spend a little more money to buy it and save myself the trouble."

"Okay! I'll help you with this little matter and give you a reply within three days at the latest."

"Thank you so much, Director He. When our own restaurant opens, I will definitely have a drink with you."

"Haha, you're just brothers, why are you being so polite? But if there's any good news in the stock market in the future, don't forget about our Xinyi Pharmaceutical Factory!"

"Don't worry! We absolutely cannot do without the support of your Xinyi Pharmaceutical Factory. However, if you and Secretary Ge have some spare money, I can also help you operate on the stock market. As for the handling fees, they will be waived completely."

"Great! I was just about to mention this to you. I didn't expect you to be so kind, Brother Su."

"Director He, but we have to make an agreement! You and Secretary Ge just play along, and don't spread the word. After all, the stock market is very risky, and if something goes wrong, it will be a big problem."

"Brother Su, don't worry! We know what we're doing. We won't even bring Chief Engineer Liu this time. That guy is no match for us."

Of course, Suning also heard about Chief Engineer Liu's move after returning to Shanghai, but Suning, who had long seen through the ups and downs of the world, didn't feel anything. Even if he were in their position, he would first think of cutting the loss in time.

But Chief Engineer Liu himself felt a little embarrassed. He had been avoiding Suning since the day Suning returned to Shanghai, which made Suning unable to understand why such a scheming boss could be so thin-skinned.

"Director He, I don't think Chief Engineer Liu's initial considerations were wrong. Even if I were in your position, I would have thought first of cutting my losses. Could you please tell Chief Engineer Liu to not feel any psychological burden? Also, could you please give these ten membership cards to Secretary Ge and Chief Engineer Liu? With these membership cards, you can get a 30% discount on clothing at Zisu Clothing."

"Really?" Director He, who took the membership card, was also excited. He could naturally understand how much favor and face Suning had given him.

"Haha, Director He, just let my sister-in-law and the others buy clothes. Each membership card has a base deposit of one thousand yuan."

There is a computer installed in every Zisu Clothing flagship store. Although the shell is a common model in the late 1980s, the internal core has been replaced with the most advanced parts of this era. It is easy to check member information and identify authenticity.

Of course, it was not only Xinyi Pharmaceutical that received the free membership card. Then, under the introduction of Director He and Secretary Ge of Xinyi Pharmaceutical, Suning also got to know leaders from other industries and gave them anonymous membership cards of Zisu Clothing. As a result, those who were jealous of Suning and Zisu Clothing could only stare blankly.
