Chapter 99 Two Movie Tickets

Qiu Yaohe spoke eloquently.

He practically didn't give anyone else a chance to speak.

Two small goals was no small amount of money.

Currently, pagers might really have a market in the mainland, but this kind of business with no future was extremely risky.

Before long, they would be eliminated by mobile phones, just like the so-called "Little Smart" phones.

Su Yehao could pick a better project than getting pager distribution rights even with his eyes closed. Afraid of being tricked by Qiu Yaohe, he immediately looked at his father.

Su's father's face showed two parts of a smile, three parts of concentration, and five parts of vigilance.

Very good.

His habitual fake smile.

Su Yehao had seen this expression before, when his third aunt asked to help her younger brother pay off his gambling debts before she left.

This meant he hadn't fallen into the pit yet.

The father and son made eye contact, and Su Yehao saw a hint of helplessness. He immediately understood something and interrupted Qiu Yaohe, saying:

"Brother Qiu, I'm learning how to do business, so excuse me for asking, but you're taking so many goods... aren't you afraid you won't be able to sell them? You promised to exchange performance for distribution rights, and you have to pay compensation if you don't complete the task, so isn't it possible that you'll be stuck with them?"

"???"

Qiu Yaohe was stunned for a moment, then said from the bottom of his heart, "There are billions of people in the north, and I have the three largest and wealthiest regions in my hands. How could I not be able to sell them?"

"Ahem... why do you think you can definitely sell them?" Su Yehao asked again.

First, he glanced at Su's father.

Then, Qiu Yaohe looked deeply at Su Yehao, with an expression that was almost like looking at an idiot. He reluctantly explained again, "Because there are a lot of people. The products I distribute are good and cheap. As long as I negotiate cooperation with the sales terminals, how could they not buy them?"

Su Yehao keenly realized that he was being looked down upon and said speechlessly,

"Mobile phones are becoming more and more popular now. For example, the Nokia I use allows me to make and receive calls directly without having to look for a phone booth everywhere. Won't there be no place for pagers in the future?"

Qiu Yaohe immediately became smug, smiled meaningfully, lowered his voice, and said:

"I never planned to do it for the long term anyway. I'll run away after making money for a few years, and I can get some of my money back by transferring the distribution rights. Little brother, you're a full man who doesn't know what it's like to be hungry. If people have money to buy mobile phones, who wouldn't want to buy them? But the thing is, many people can't afford them."

"..."

Su Yehao was very impressed.

He even felt like he was making a little sense.

If he didn't know in advance how fast the mainland economy would rise in the next few years, he might really fall into the trap.

Pager users in Casino have been decreasing in recent years, and mobile phones are starting to become popular.

Qiu Yaohe was optimistic about pagers because they were cheap and could be produced locally, making them much cheaper than imported products, which was actually quite insightful.

It was just a pity that he misjudged the situation, and the profits would be difficult to guarantee.

A few years later, everyone would probably see that pagers have no market, and who would take over the distribution rights?

It was not wise to take on tasks with promised sales, especially for electronic products.

Once the factory starts operating at full capacity, working overtime in shifts to produce in order to get him to eat the orders, the unsold inventory alone could be enough to bankrupt him.

Su Yehao deeply understood the efficiency of mainland factories and didn't dare to underestimate it at all.

At that time, it was very likely that the upstream manufacturers and downstream retailers would make money, while he, the general distributor, would be stuck in the middle, suffering all the hardships.

...

Finding a reason, Su's father called Su Yehao outside the office.

He had a headache.

Pinching the space between his eyebrows, Su's father said:

"The son of your Uncle Qiu is too stubborn. I originally wanted you to learn from his experience, but now it seems that you must not learn from him. I don't understand his business, and I don't dare to invest in it. Just looking at him, you can tell he's unreliable, a bookworm since he was a child. I'll find a reason to leave first, and you help me get rid of him. Think of any way, drinking and singing are fine, just don't let him think I have money. Just say that I'm going to the mainland to acquire land and need to borrow money from the bank."

Su Yehao raised his eyebrows and said, "I'll get rid of him? Can't you just refuse directly?"

"Sigh... Your Uncle Qiu only has one son, but he has four daughters. One found a minor celebrity and just got pregnant at the end of last year. After the examination, they found out it was another daughter. I should at least give him some face. Don't worry, I'll have my secretary send you money. I won't use you for nothing."

Su's father sighed, "Lao Qiu spoiled him too much. People are researching new drugs, and tens of billions of dollars may not be enough to succeed, but this kid just lost 300 million, and your Uncle Qiu is actually going to give him another 300 million. How much capital can withstand such tossing..."

There was harm in comparisons, and Su's father was very gratified.

Although Su Yehao wasn't anything special, at least he couldn't compare to Qiu Yaohe in terms of wasting money, and he hadn't lost more than 300 million.

It was hard to say whether training and cultivating business acumen was a good thing or a bad thing.

———————————————————

After waiting for a moment.

Su Yehao entered the office alone, smiling and saying, "My dad has to go to a meeting. Let's talk about the investment next time. He told me to take good care of you."

Qiu Yaohe was straightforward and immediately said unhappily, "Uncle Hai doesn't like my project?"

"..."

Su Yehao really wanted to nod directly. Taking care of both sides' feelings, he said against his will,

"I can't say he doesn't like it. You should know what my dad is like. He's old, what does he know about high technology? Besides taking on projects and building houses, he doesn't understand anything else. People are playing stocks and doing financing, but my family's company still hasn't gone public. We're going to acquire land in the mainland next, which will cost a lot of money."

"That's true. Uncle Hai is indeed too careful and does business very cautiously. That's why he's missed many opportunities."

After speaking frankly, Qiu Yaohe sighed and continued, "Forget it, I have almost enough money on hand anyway. At worst, I won't take the Northeast region. It's not bad to be able to take the East China and South China markets."

Su Yehao sighed inwardly. This guy was really ambitious. He hadn't even eaten what was on his plate yet, but he was already staring at what was in the pot.

Family friends were none of his business.

He didn't plan to rashly get involved either. Personal relationships were a double-edged sword, and it was easy to be thankless.

Su Yehao took the initiative to suggest going somewhere to sit down, purely out of curiosity about the Nan Gong family's Liren Royal Court Club.

Su Yehao still remembered what Chu Jun, a major shareholder of Yinhai, said last night.

On second thought.

He was also afraid that a hostess would suddenly say, "Your father can drink more than you."

Wouldn't that be terrible?

Even if he was ordered to have fun, it was best to go somewhere far away. After all, his family situation was special, and Su Yehao wasn't the only one who knew how to have fun.

Unfortunately, Qiu Yaohe wasn't interested and left with his folder.

The secretary brought 50,000 in cash. He wouldn't take it for nothing. Su Yehao found a kraft paper bag, packed it, and took it away.

Another profit.

It was only 2:40 in the afternoon, and he didn't plan to go back to school.

At first, he planned to find Yin Liuli. After a brief consideration, he called Nong Qingying and made an excuse to ask her out for afternoon tea.

When Su Yehao arrived at the golf course.

Nong Qingying had specially dressed up, wearing a white shirt, casual pants, and light makeup with red lips.

He hadn't seen her so refined the previous few times they met. They said women primp for their admirers. Su Yehao couldn't figure out for a while if it meant something.

They were inside Villa No. 6.

Nong Qingying washed the cups and brewed a pot of black tea. She had bought a lot of snacks and wasn't afraid of not having anything to eat.

Seeing Su Yehao cautiously approaching, the girl immediately became vigilant and said with a smile:

"Don't misunderstand. We're friends at most. The last time we watched a movie was too boring, so I was just teasing you."

Hearing these words, Su Yehao's thoughts ran wild.

It was broad daylight.

The atmosphere was wrong, and the feeling was wrong. Something was really missing.

Calming his thoughts, he honestly drank tea and chatted. Suddenly, he felt sleepy and even took a nap on the sofa.

In the evening.

He accompanied Nong Qingying to the beach. The beach hadn't been cleaned, and it was full of sand and broken shells.

Seeing that there was really no chance, he originally wanted to find Yin Liuli for bubble tea.

Unable to resist Nong Qingying's retention, he simply accompanied her to dinner. They found a barbecue restaurant in the city, and after eating, they went to see a movie.

She suggested watching a movie.

She also bought two movie tickets, choosing to sit in the corner of the back row.

It was a terrible movie.

It was more than two hours long, and not many people were watching it.

Su Yehao... barely understood.

He couldn't guess what it meant.

He wondered if this girl had a split personality?

Playing hard to get? Was she hesitating?

Or did she like to find excitement? Was it better outside than at home?

Soon.

Su Yehao stopped guessing.

Under the dim light, Nong Qingying coughed lightly, reminding him not to watch the movie and to focus on the important things.

Okay.

A certain girl seemed to be addicted to being teased.
