Arrogance and domineering, starting in the 1990s

"You just wait! I, Wu Ran..."

"Alright, alright, stop yelling. I'll take you to Jinbihuihuang to wash up."

Seeing the other person's knowing look, Wu's second half of the sentence got stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say it no matter what.

Is the other party going to tutor him in a "foreign language"?

But...the other person just pushed me into the basin of water!

But the other person is his older brother!

He even mocked himself for being the White-browed Eagle King...

But learning a foreign language is really tempting.

Especially Fangfang, Ruxue, Chunlan, Xiuhe...

After struggling for a long time, Wu Ran finally gritted her teeth and decided to forgive the other party.

After all, even if bones are broken, they are still connected by tendons; they are brothers!

"Okay, bro, I'll go change..."

"Just kidding, that place costs 4,300 a night, enough to buy seven or eight washing machines."

"Wu Shu! I'll fight you to the death!!!"

...

"Brother Shu! Twenty thousand a day, that's faster than stealing! You're just going to quit like that?"

"This is money, Brother Shu!" Tian Le asked incredulously, picking his ear.

"Why are you jumping so high? Trying to hit my knee?" Wu Shu said casually without looking up as he continued scribbling on the paper.

"And it's not just 20,000. Recently, crayfish have become popular not only in the north of the city, but also in the south and west of the city."

"We earn at least 50,000 a day now. If we have more people working on the duck side, adding another 30,000 or 40,000 wouldn't be a problem."

"Then why did we stop?" Tian Le pressed his hand on the paper Wu Shu was writing on, asking anxiously.

Wu Shu straightened up, leaned back in his chair, and touched his broken eyebrow.

He tried to keep his tone calm as he said, "That old man Wang Zheng, even if he worked himself to death, could only produce five thousand catties of lobsters a month."

"This month, we've already exposed all his secrets."

"Even if everyone in the market mobilized to catch lobsters, the monthly output would only be 10,000 jin."

"Ten dollars to peel a lobster is a good way to make money in the early stages, but using sex as a gimmick is just a temporary side hustle."

"What's the most important thing in doing business?"

Seeing Wu Shu explaining all this to him in such a serious manner, Tian Le shifted slightly in his chair, feeling a little awkward.

After thinking carefully for a moment, he cautiously asked, "Is it profitable?"

Although the other party's answer wasn't what he wanted, he didn't take action this time.

Because the other person thought before they said that.

"No, it's unpredictability."

"If you can see the upper limit of a business, then that business has reached its end."

Wu Ran, who had been listening nearby, nodded thoughtfully.

Although he didn't understand it very well, he grasped the general meaning.

"But Brother Shu, we earn money every day we work, what's wrong with that?"

"A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, Brother Shu!"

Wu Ran nodded again, and even Zhang Jun, who was more supportive of Tian Le this time, nodded slightly as well.

Only Ding Meng remained seemingly lost in thought.

What Tian Le said wasn't entirely wrong, but Wu Shu's knowledge was far broader than theirs.

Now that he has his first pot of gold, he can quickly multiply his wealth.

In this era, crayfish won't become a large-scale industry.

Unless he engages in integrated rice-water farming, which involves large-scale fertilization.

But there are no mountains here, and he's living in an era where money can be picked up everywhere.

Going into aquaculture requires high investment and has slow development.

He also didn't want a business that depended on the weather.

Then it can earn its first pot of gold.

"Here's 450,000. Give 150,000 to Fatty Gao, and then have Dai Kun come over."

"Keep 20,000 each for personal expenses, and deposit the rest directly into the food company's account."

Wu Shu stopped explaining to them what the constraints of the times meant, simply divided the money into several portions, and then took out another stack.

He muttered to himself, "If they don't call me 'big brother,' they'll deduct five hundred. If it happens twice, that'll be a thousand."

"Slamming down the account book, showing no respect for his elder brother, deduct five hundred."

"If they don't offer tea or water when you come in, deduct another 500."

"Your handwriting is ugly, please correct me..."

Wu Ran was stunned. This...this can't be my salary, can it?

He pressed down on Wu Shu's hand as he pulled out money, his eyes filled with tears, and said, "Brother, once a brother, always a brother!"

"Stop deducting, or we'll have to pay out of pocket..."

Wu Shu was immediately surprised. So you can back down, huh?

He thought the other party would immediately jump up and down, shouting that this was unfair and that was unreasonable, and then start crying, making a scene, and hanging themselves on branches.

I never expected that the person with the thick eyebrows and big eyes was so cunning.

Feeling bored, Wu Shu stopped playing around with the other person and simply threw 10,000 yuan at him.

Then, with a menacing expression, he warned, "If I see you learning a foreign language in this magnificent place, I'll break your legs!"

"Especially, you are not allowed to learn from Sasha, Anya, Lina, Polya, Alinka, or Mida."

Upon hearing this, Wu Ran's initially excited expression immediately wilted.

These are supposedly the best at "teaching".

And he genuinely loves learning...

"By the way, is Mom about to be discharged from the hospital?"

Wu Ran was counting the money in his hand.

"The doctor said I'm almost fully recovered, but it's best to stay longer for observation."

As he spoke, he wrapped the money in a rectangular piece of paper and stuffed it into the inside pocket of his pants.

"Brother Shu, those female workers?" Zhang Jun asked softly.

"I'm still peeling and washing shrimp these days. Once I'm done, they'll be able to use them."

"Hamster, go and do a few more things for me."

"..."

...

Song Qing's hair had turned quite a bit gray from worry lately; his son had hoarded a huge amount of grain coupons...

Although, thanks to his "keen" sense of smell at the barbecue restaurant, before the policy "notification,"

They made their move, but because there were too many of them...

He had no choice but to sell at a low price, but those who bought it were much more "astute" than him.

They are only willing to buy back these items at one-fifth of the original price, or even lower, since there is an abundance of resources now and they don't need them to buy anything.

Song Jianguo was so angry that he didn't want to sell it anymore!

But as the things in my hands gradually turned into waste paper, they had no value even for collection.

He had no choice but to sell it at a painful price, and after all the trouble, he not only lost the villa, but also...

They even lost their savings, and their fortune shrank to one-tenth of what it used to be...

Although Song Qing possesses superb culinary skills, he has only ever earned a fixed salary over the years.

I only make a maximum of 500 yuan a month, and I still have to support my good-for-nothing son from time to time.

So I'm currently asking people to help him find a job.

Just then, Wu Shu came to talk to him, and he hesitated several times before speaking.

Wu Shu had a keen eye and had already noticed the other person's dilemma, but he simply didn't ask.

Is money that easy to get? Is he really that generous?

Although the money earned from crayfish is now ten times the initial investment.

But I've "bought out" the rights.

It's not just the recipe, it's also the people.

Song Qing also found out what was going on, and immediately stated that he had retired but would continue to oversee the recipe and preparation.
