Chapter 129 Overweight Cat

Having eaten and drunk their fill, they enjoyed sweet double-skin milk as an after-dinner treat.

The four people ate eight dishes and two soups, leaving quite a bit on the table, already full.

Especially the stir-fried water snake, only the father and son touched their chopsticks, while the little girl and Jiang Yu didn't dare to eat it, although the taste was actually very good.

Su's father took larger and larger strides, a little worried at heart, so he asked Su Yehao, "Son, what do you think the future holds for Casino, 1997 in a few years?"

Su Yehao took a spoonful of double-skin milk and looked up at his father, understanding what he wanted to ask.

He answered decisively:

"If more tourists come to Casino, 1997 and there's some other support, it will definitely get better and better. I'm working with Jiang Yu's dad and my friends to engage in the tourism business. I just acquired two travel agencies, and recently there have been a lot of people traveling to Hong Kong. Getting land on Taipa Island will definitely be promising, but people's confidence in investing in real estate was shattered this year. It might fall further next year. Those international hot money won't give up easily, so it's best to wait a little longer."

Suddenly thinking of something, Su's father asked in a low voice:

"Are you still in touch with Zheng Yongwen? I met him a few times a few years ago. At that time, he was just an employee of a financial company. I didn't expect him to turn around and actually make a name for himself."

Su Yehao couldn't figure out whether his old man was secretly inquiring about information, but since it concerned his own interests, he said frankly:

"I haven't contacted him in the past two weeks, but I've talked to Mr. Zheng before. I know that the reason he climbed up was to be able to compete with those international hot money guys, to find a sense of existence and realize his life values. The last few times he made a move, those financial tycoons didn't get any advantage, and they won't give up easily. If he didn't think that the short sellers would make a comeback, why would he give up the opportunity to make money and choose to become a chief financial advisor?"

Hearing this, Su's father had a better understanding. He nodded and said:

"Okay, I'll wait and see how the situation changes. Coincidentally, more than six hundred million of the company's wealth management products will mature at the beginning of next month. Find me some American funds to recommend as soon as possible. I'll have someone analyze them at that time, and if I can buy some, I will."

He clearly belonged to the category of putting eggs in different baskets.

Investing in the mainland was putting eggs in different baskets, and trying to acquire some dollar assets was also for the purpose of putting eggs in different baskets.

Exchange rate fluctuations don't have much impact on ordinary people's small savings, but for a wealthy family like the Su family, the profits and losses involved are calculated in the "hundreds of millions."

For example, some of the wealthy people in Southeast Asian countries lost as much as 60% to 70% of their wealth some time ago due to currency depreciation. It seemed like they still had the same amount of money, but their international purchasing power had shrunk dramatically.

The Si Hai International Building in Central, at his feet, had depreciated by four or five hundred million Hong Kong dollars this year, which was enough to make Su's father feel distressed. He didn't want to be dragged down by the financial crisis again.

In addition, seeing that his son could indeed make money, he was also quite envious of the recent rate of return. This was the direct reason for Su's father's change of heart.

Helping to find funds was just a small matter.

Su Yehao readily agreed, thinking about continuing to ask Jiang Shiye and Huang Daxian for help, trying to get his father on board.

As long as he tasted the sweetness of making quick money from the Internet industry, it wouldn't be easy to get off the bus again. These days, looking at the whole world, it's hard to find a business that can compare with investing in the Internet, even some industries that are written into the "Criminal Law" aren't as good.

Actually.

At this moment, Su Yehao had already begun to consider acquiring a fund company, tailoring a product for his father, and tricking him into buying it.

Giving the management rights to others would ultimately make Su Yehao uneasy. The profit difference of hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars was worth his extra thought, and he seriously considered how to operate...

In the blink of an eye, it was the weekend again.

The tAt1.0 beta version had been online for four days, and the usage barely exceeded three thousand, plus the hundreds of users in Casino, 1997. The data was truly tear-inducing.

According to rough statistics, the entire number of Hong Kong netizens was only about 400,000. The vast majority of these people were still office workers who didn't like to use computers for leisure and entertainment, purely treating them as office supplies.

The chat room and one-on-one chat market in Hong Kong were mainly occupied by AoL and iCQ. Adults had already developed small social circles in these two social software programs, and they wouldn't change easily. Moreover, tAt had just been launched and hadn't yet become a force to be reckoned with.

With fewer people using tAt, users couldn't find friends on it, so naturally they wouldn't be interested in the substitute tAt.

The real killer feature, namely personal space, had not yet been launched. Su Yehao regarded this as a trump card sufficient to turn the tables.

Considering the user base in Hong Kong, at most three or four million people, Su Yehao didn't have much obsession with completely occupying the Hong Kong market. He focused on the mainland.

There was no AoL or iCQ in the north, which was a fertile land for free development, very suitable for savage growth.

Therefore, Su Yehao was already Buddhist about tAt's current performance. He had to be patient and continue to wait. The only requirement was to continue to improve the functions, optimize the user experience, and create a simplified Chinese version as soon as possible...

Weekend vacation.

The travel plan to go far away on a private jet was cancelled due to Nangong Tian's mother coming to Hong Kong.

Su Yehao was a little afraid of meeting her mother, feeling like a son-in-law meeting his mother-in-law, so he took the opportunity to take Jiang Yu back to Casino, 1997 and continue to enjoy a short separation with Yin Liuli.

Saturday night, accompany Yin Liuli out to walk the cat, strolling along the beach.

The two of them had been stuck together in the small apartment all afternoon, and now they were walking weakly, with faltering steps.

The golden chinchilla Koko's weight soared all the way, and now it was round like a ball, weighing a full 8.5 kilograms. Holding it in his arms, it was heavy. Su Yehao wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked doubtfully, "Are you sure this fat cat is willing to walk by itself when you go out? Every time you put it down, it just squats and doesn't move. The leash is like a decoration."

"I take it out every day. It wasn't so lazy before. Maybe it's because you fed it canned food at home, and it's full," Yin Liuli said with a smile.

Jeans with a white shirt, a simple outfit, looked fashionable and charming on her.

Su Yehao put the fat cat Koko on the ground. As expected, it didn't want to walk by itself. It was already sleepy, its thick tail swaying gently.

Yin Liuli squatted down, rubbed its head, and said, "It's time to buy it a stroller. Holding it is like holding a bag of rice. I wanted to take it running to lose weight, but I didn't expect it to have a bigger appetite after each run. If it doesn't get enough to eat, it will make a fuss with me, constantly yelling in the cage. The store has vegetarian cat food, but Koko doesn't like it."

"Eating vegetarian food doesn't necessarily make you thin. Look at hippos, pandas, elephants, rhinos. It still depends on the physical fitness. This guy obviously gains weight even from drinking water. It's been fat since it was a kid. Every time I see it, it's a few circles rounder."

Su Yehao sat on a bench to rest and suggested:

"Take me to a movie tonight? Or find a place to take a bath and get a massage. I drove the speedboat back myself this time. I'll take you out to sea for a drive tomorrow morning. Although I haven't gotten my speedboat license yet, as long as the coach sits next to me, I can try driving it myself."

Yin Liuli said with a smile:

"Okay, let's go get a massage. My shoulders are so sore. Interesting movies won't be released until Christmas. Do you like Santa Claus?"

"Are you talking about that white-bearded old man who comes uninvited, breaks into houses illegally in the middle of the night, and trespasses on private property? Why would I like him?"

"The store has Christmas activities. Suitable Santa Clauses need to be found in advance, who are both fat and kind-looking."

Holidays.

Especially holidays that girls find romantic, Su Yehao gets a headache whenever he encounters them.

Since he didn't know how to arrange it, Su Yehao didn't dare to continue the conversation and changed the topic to talk about the store's business.

It was still the same, with a monthly profit of tens of thousands of dollars, which was relatively stable...
