A century-old wealthy family that rose from Shanghai

Chapter 111 Very Angry

With the introduction of Fang Jiaobo, Chen Guangliang came to the office building of "Business Daily" and met Hong Yanbin and Huang Chunsun.

Hong Yanbin didn't have the private attitude he had. Instead, he said enthusiastically, "Boss Chen, I heard you're also interested in the Commercial Daily. Would you like to invest in it?"

He had also privately inquired about Chen Guangliang. Although the information he obtained was scant, it was still quite astonishing. Starting out as a rickshaw puller, in just a year and a half, he had become the owner of a mid-sized rickshaw dealership, a real estate company, and a fortune of over 100,000 yuan.

A self-made man, rising from the bottom of society, his experience alone made him seem extraordinary. Even Mr. Du said that this young man was extraordinary, able to fool someone like Gu Zhuxuan.

Although I don’t understand what it means, the young man who can be recognized by Mr. Du is definitely not simple.

Upon hearing this, Chen Guangliang immediately said, "I just hope to learn from Mr. Hong and Mr. Huang. Buying shares is not a good idea. Besides, I don't care much about the reputation of the Commercial Daily, but you two gentlemen care most about the reputation. Clearly, we have different views."

Making the name so obvious will drive away some customers.

This is undoubtedly not a good thing in an era when there are fewer 'newspaper' customers.

Therefore, even if Chen Guangliang takes over this time, he will name it "Oriental Daily", "Asia Daily" or "Modern Daily".

Hong Yanbin suddenly said, "Boss Chen is waiting to take over from us?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the room suddenly took a turn for the worse. Everyone could see that there was unhappiness in Hong Yanbin's words.

Chen Guangliang said calmly, "A gentleman is open and honest, while a villain is always worried. Could it be that Boss Hong has lost confidence now?"

The first sentence directly states that I have that intention.

The latter sentence is just a provocation - if you admit that you have confidence, then why say more!
"Haha!" Hong Yanbin immediately laughed out loud. "Boss Chen is really interesting. How could we not have confidence? Brother Huang is a veteran in the newspaper industry (former advertising director), and now we've invited Mr. Zhang Jinglu, the former editor of the Commercial Daily, as editor-in-chief. Step by step, how is he not more experienced than you, Boss Chen?"

Everyone watched the two people arguing with each other, but they felt relieved because the two were more like in a "fair fight" or "discussion".

Chen Guangliang immediately said, "Compared to the original Commercial Daily, you've lost a lot of economic talent. So why didn't the original Commercial Daily survive? What new tricks do you have?"

This sentence immediately touched Hong Yanbin's sore spot, because after they took over the "Business Daily", they felt the lack of economic talents and decided to reduce the format.

"Boss Chen is indeed very good at seeing things, but to tell you the truth, our original intention in launching the Commercial Daily was to preserve its reputation, so we naturally have no intention of surpassing the original Commercial Daily."

Chen Guangliang thought that the reason you maintained the sign was probably unrealistic.

Newspapers are not like other businesses. As long as you keep them open, you have to pay a lot of people's salaries because you can't lay them off. Furthermore, newspapers must rely on sales to increase advertising revenue. Newspapers themselves are loss-making; only advertising can generate profits.

So if you don’t have sales, where will the advertising revenue come from? This becomes a vicious cycle.

Not wanting to provoke them any further, Chen Guangliang changed his tone and said, "So that's how it is. Boss Hong and Boss Huang are also people of temperament!"

At first, Chen Guangliang's actions could be interpreted as a complaint that someone had "interfered" and caused the loss of the equipment and resources of the Commercial Daily.

Now that Hong Yanbin has taken the initiative to admit the problem, let's negotiate peace.

Hong Yanbin nodded, and then invited Chen Guangliang and Fang Jiaobo to inspect the office building together. Chen Guangliang also took the opportunity to learn from them.

The result was that they became friends after fighting. After the inspection, everyone made an appointment to have dinner together in the evening.

At night, Chen Guangliang was slightly drunk and was sitting in a rickshaw heading home.

Although the Yangtze River Taxi is now under preparation and Chen Guangliang can also use a car, it is July now, and sitting in a rickshaw is more leisurely and elegant.

There are more and more neon lights in Shanghai. Sometimes Chen Guangliang wonders, if there had been no Japanese invasion, what would China have become?

But such thoughts were quickly dismissed. After all, he grew up under the red flag, and he was not allowed to have any rebellious thoughts.

So as time went on, Chen Guangliang even paid attention to many state affairs, but watched from the sidelines. After all, history is history, and we just have to follow the process.

So, he might as well earn more money so he could later buy some "value-preserving assets," such as land and property in Hong Kong. Even if the Japanese took Hong Kong, he could still reclaim it after their defeat. Alternatively, he could deposit some assets in American banks or invest directly in the US to spread the risk.

In short, he knows history and can always find a way to deal with it.

When Chen Guangliang returned home, he found his cousin Yang Xiuying there and asked her matter-of-factly, "Why don't you go to bed? What are you doing here?"

He has always had authority over these younger brothers and sisters.

But Yang Xiuying stood up on her own and said, "I know you drank outside, so I came to help my aunt, but she fell asleep!"

After saying that, he busied himself pouring tea.

What is going on? Chen Guangliang knows the whole story.

In the past, when he didn't go home, Yang Hui and Chen Guangcong would basically wait until eleven or twelve o'clock. But today, they both went to sleep, leaving Yang Xiuying to wait.

Chen Guangliang did not say anything. After all, he thought he could sit still, drinking tea and looking at his cousin Yang Xiuying.

After more than a year of growth, she had grown a bit taller, but was still about 158cm tall. She looked a bit more delicate, but still had a bit of the roughness of a country girl. She was wearing a student skirt, and she had already grown up, with a considerable bulge in the front, which made Chen Guangliang's eyes linger for a few seconds, but he quickly looked away.

Only then did he remember: Didn't Xiangzi molest Miss Tiger when he was drunk? Although he usually looked down on his cousin, if he was thinking with his lower body after drinking, wouldn't that let the girl succeed?

"Go back to sleep quickly"

Yang Xiuying immediately retorted, "No, I'll go get you some bath water!"

Quite stubborn!
He's quite courageous, but is there someone behind this?
Good man, no matter how much defense we take, this 'house thief' is hard to guard against!
I'm afraid both families know about what happened tonight, and they are still cooperating.

Just outside the yard, Chen Guangliang took a shower in his shorts and felt a little more awake.

I walked into the bedroom and found Yang Xiuying was still there.

"Xiuying, what did you two discuss? Didn't I tell you to study hard? Why are you daydreaming all day long?"

Yang Xiuying bared her fangs, sat down on Chen Guangliang's bed, and said, "Cousin, my parents said that they originally wanted to marry me off to you once you became proficient in pulling a cart. But they didn't expect you to become so rich all of a sudden."

She was also angry with her parents. Why couldn't they tell her half a year in advance?

Chen Guangliang laughed and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Your parents are good to me, but I have always treated you as my sister since I was a child. Don't let your imagination run wild. Your current task is to study hard and improve your horizons and abilities. Let me tell you this: all feudal first wives, as long as the man has ability, are very miserable. For example, the famous commander-in-chief of the Northern Expedition. His current first wife was thrown back to her hometown and may not see her son's mother more than a few times in her life. You are my beloved cousin, study hard and strive to get rid of the feudal women's thinking!"

Heart-to-heart talk, step by step disintegrate Yang Xiuying's thoughts!

Even if Chen Guangliang doesn't care about appearance, he will never have any feelings for a woman with feudal ideas.

When Yang Xiuying heard this, her thoughts wavered a little, but she said, "But I really like my cousin, what should I do? My parents told me that as long as I have sex with you, even if it's just sex later, it's fine!"

Oh my god, it turned out that these relatives were behind this, and his mother was also an accomplice.

Chen Guangliang said seriously, "You're degrading yourself. Study hard and don't let your parents think about anything else. If your parents ask, just say I told you!"

As long as he reveals his cards, Yang Qingshan and his wife won’t dare to say anything!
Yang Xiuying didn't give up and asked directly: "Then I will study hard, can I follow you in the future?"

Why is this girl so stubborn?

Chen Guangliang had no choice but to say, "We'll talk about it later. Anyway, I don't like girls who haven't been to school!"

He didn't have the feudal mindset that men and women must have a "common language" in their relationships. If it were simply for "sex" and "carrying on the family line," then with his wealth and status, marrying eight or ten wouldn't be a problem.

Yang Xiuying, knowing that her cousin looked down on her, immediately said stubbornly, "Just study. I don't believe in myself!"

"Let's go, let's go back and talk to your parents. If you get involved in this kind of thing again, don't blame me, your nephew, for cutting off their living expenses."

“You scared them.”

Yang Xiuying said this and walked out of the room. She didn't feel lost, but rather seemed to have aroused some desire.

Chen Guangliang could only shake his head. His cousin had some masculine bearing, unlike the weak traditional woman.

If you can cultivate them into talents, they will be a help in the future!
It's no wonder that Chen Guangliang himself is unlikely to get married and have children in the short term, so he has high hopes for his younger brothers and sisters.

Of course, my younger brother Chen Guangcong is the most valued. After he graduates from elementary school, he can be arranged to do some internship work; after he graduates from junior high school, he can be arranged to do some things; as for his future studies, he can still be supported.

As for my cousins, they are also being trained so that they can join the Chen family business in the future.

The next morning, Chen Guangliang asked Yang Qingshan and his family to have breakfast together.

The couple lowered their heads, feeling a little embarrassed to look at Chen Guangliang. They had no idea that their nephew could sit still so long and even refused to eat the food that was delivered to their doorstep.

While eating breakfast, Chen Guangliang said bluntly, "The three of them are now tasked with studying. Only by studying can they earn the support and training of their elder brother, me. If they don't succeed, don't blame me for being ruthless. I only recognize those who are useful to me."

Yang Qingshan immediately said, "Yes, that's right!"

My second aunt lowered her head and said, "I'm also worried that this girl will become stupid after studying and do something like that."

Chen Guangliang immediately said, "After all, running away with someone is a rare occurrence. This society is full of traditional women facing miserable situations. Anyway, I have the final say on this matter. Let Xiuying study hard. With my supervision, she won't make that kind of mistake!"

In fact, he is not worried about these things. Even if his younger brothers and sisters really accept "progressive ideas", he will at most handle the relationship between everyone well and will not interfere with the fate of others.

After all, he couldn't stop someone from contributing to the country.

"Yes, yes, then you should pay more attention to her!"

At the dinner table, Chen Guangliang became the "dictatorial" head of the family, and no one dared to look up or speak.

Even Yang Hui, the mother, looked like a child who had made a mistake. She could see that her son was very angry, so she didn't dare to respond.
