Siheyuan: My wife is Xu Huizhen

Chapter 634

Originally, Ho Ying-tung was looking forward to getting a share of the casino business, but in the end not only did his plan to make a profit fail, he was also ruthlessly squeezed out of the board of directors.

The cooperative friendship that the two had established due to common interests burst like a bubble and disappeared without a trace under such fierce conflict of interests.

All that remains is the tense and awkward relationship between the two, and a turbulent past in the business world.

Because of this, when He Yuzhu was first faced with the invitation to invest in the casino business, he weighed the pros and cons and chose to give up without hesitation.

In his business empire, he has already laid out other more reliable and profitable ways to make money.

These methods rely on his keen insight into the market and accurate judgment. After careful calculation, the profits they bring far exceed the profits that can be obtained from running a casino.

You know, back in the special period of the 1960s and 1970s, the profit level of casinos was indeed relatively limited.

At that time, the social economy was in a stage of gradual recovery, and a lot of work needed to be done. People's consumption capacity was also limited by their low income levels and they were short of money.

In such an environment, even if the casino operated smoothly and could earn more than 100,000 yuan a day, it was already considered a pretty good business in the business world at that time, and attracted a lot of attention.

However, the casino business is like dancing on a tightrope, constrained by many complex factors such as policy supervision and social opinion.

Once the policy direction changes or public opinion criticizes the gambling trend, casinos may face operational difficulties, their development ceiling will be stuck, and the room for expansion will be very limited.

In contrast, the radio sales business that He Yuzhu is engaged in is like a rising star that is accumulating energy and waiting to explode, with huge potential and higher profit margins.

As the wheel of time rolls forward and the dawn of scientific and technological development begins to emerge, people's demand for information dissemination is growing like a long-awaited rain after a long drought.

As an important information receiving tool in that era, radio could continuously deliver external news, entertainment programs, etc. to thousands of households, filling the gaps in people's spiritual world.

Its market prospects are like a fertile land waiting to be cultivated, vast and full of unlimited business opportunities.

Huo Yingdong agreed deeply. His expression was solemn, and he nodded heavily, saying, "To be honest, I had no intention of getting involved in this business. It was all due to circumstances, and I had no choice. If it weren't for my long-standing friendship with Mr. He, and my misjudgment of the future situation, how could I have easily stepped into this murky water and brought so much trouble upon myself?"

My thoughts couldn't help but drift back to the past, when He Yuzhu was able to generously lend them 100 million in cash to help them bid for the gambling license, but behind it was actually full of helplessness.

At that time, Huo Yingdong had already handed over all his previous funds to the Governor-General's Office, and his financial situation was already tight.

But at this moment, He Hongshen suddenly proposed that Aocheng Entertainment Company would open for subscription. This news was like a bolt from the blue, causing Huo Yingdong to feel a surge of pressure.

He Hongshen made it clear that the total subscribed amount this time was as high as 300 million Hong Kong dollars, which meant that he had to squeeze out another huge amount of cash to invest in it.

In that era of volatile economic conditions and frequent market fluctuations, 300 million Hong Kong dollars was an astronomical figure, and every penny was related to the survival of the company.

For any shrewd businessman like Huo Yingdong who has been up and down in the business world, this is undoubtedly a difficult choice. Every trade-off is accompanied by huge risks and cannot be taken lightly. The slightest mistake may lead to a complete loss.

However, He Yuzhu had completely different considerations and was unwilling to make additional investments in Aocheng Entertainment Company.

The business world is like a battlefield. After years of experience in the business world, he has a very deep understanding of investment risks.

With an investment of 100 million yuan in cash, it is difficult to predict the future returns in this project full of variables.

If you are not careful, you may lose everything.

After careful consideration, He Yuzhu decided to give Huo Yingdong some honest advice.

His expression was solemn, and he spoke earnestly, "Old Huo, we've been in this business world for so many years, we should know when to stop. Investing this one million into Aocheng Entertainment is like throwing money into a bottomless black hole, full of unknowns and variables. Why should we take such a big risk? In my opinion, it would be better to turn our attention to other, more promising businesses. With the connections we've accumulated and the sharp eyes we've cultivated over the years, how can we not find business opportunities with huge potential? Besides, we can think of the money we invested previously as a loan to Aocheng Entertainment. This is good for both parties, leaving a way out. If there are other opportunities for cooperation in the future, we won't have to worry about any unpleasantness because of this matter. Don't you agree?"

After hearing He Yuzhu's suggestion, Huo Yingdong narrowed his eyes slightly and stroked his chin thoughtfully.

After a moment, he nodded slowly and solemnly promised to take the matter into consideration and repeatedly weigh the pros and cons.

After discussing everything, the two shook hands and said goodbye, then turned away.

At that time, the setting sun was as red as blood, and the afterglow fell on them. The two of them walked farther and farther away, and their figures were constantly lengthened in the dim light.

They are like two silent historians, quietly telling the unknown yet magnificent stories of this turbulent business era.

The night falls quietly like ink, gradually hiding the hustle and bustle of the day.

The night in Hong Kong is like a shining pearl, exuding its own unique charm.

In the streets and alleys, neon lights flicker in an irregular manner, and the red, green and blue lights are intertwined together, like a gorgeous painting, making the city look like a dream.

The road is bustling with traffic, the lights of the cars converge into flowing rivers of light, the roar of engines and the honking of horns blend into the hustle and bustle of the night.

He Yuzhu and his family went to visit Huo Yingdong's home in the bustling night.

At this time, the gambling card issue had just begun to unveil its mysterious veil, and everything was still in a state of chaos and uncertainty.

For He Yuzhu, after carefully weighing the pros and cons, he has made a decision in his heart that he will never get stuck in this muddy water again.

The planning of the casino is like a fog, with no clear outline yet, and the future development path is full of unpredictable variables.

In a business field full of unknowns and risks, every step you take is like stepping into a minefield, and if you are not careful, you may fall into an irretrievable situation.

Instead of sinking deeper and deeper into this gambling-like adventure, it is better to make a decisive move, withdraw in time, return to a peaceful and quiet life, protect your beloved family wholeheartedly, and manage and protect your existing business empire with care.

The next day, He Yuzhu set the earliest alarm and jumped out of bed before dawn.

After washing up, he adjusted his clothes in front of the mirror and looked at himself in the mirror, his eyes full of determination.

After a simple breakfast, he drove to the company.

There were few vehicles on the streets in the early morning. The sunlight shone through the thin clouds and gently fell on the glass curtain wall of the company building, reflecting colorful light.

It seemed as if the raindrops foreshadowed the beauty of a new day, injecting new hope and endless motivation into his heart.

After arriving at the company, He Yuzhu was fully aware of the importance of comprehensively sorting out the business to the company's development, so he immediately threw himself into work.

He shuttled between various departments, his steps hurried but steady.

Wherever he went, he would first carefully review the relevant reports, check the data line by line, and not miss any details that might affect the company's operations.

Then, I had in-depth face-to-face exchanges with department heads, listening carefully to the difficulties they encountered at work, their insights into the business, and their future plans.

In the sales department, he had a heated discussion with the sales manager on the strategy for expanding market share.

In the Finance Department, he and the Finance Director analyzed the key aspects of cost control.

In the R&D department, he learned in detail about the R&D progress and technical bottlenecks of new products.

He Yuzhu spent the whole day busy and didn't even have time to have a proper lunch.

It was not until the evening, when the afterglow of the setting sun shone through the window, illuminating the room with an orange-yellow hue, that he finally completed the work of sorting out the company's various businesses.

At this time, he stood in front of the window and looked at the horizon. The sun was setting in the west, and large clusters of clouds were dyed orange-red, as if they were on fire, decorating the sky like a magnificent painting.

He Yuzhu raised his wrist to check his watch. The hour hand had quietly pointed to the appointed time. He knew that it was time to rush to Tuen Mun.

He methodically stacked the documents on his desk and put them into his briefcase, then stood up and strode out of the company building.

In the parking lot, he skillfully unlocked his car, the engine roared, and sped away towards Tuen Mun.

The Tuen Mun area is like a piece of pure land on the edge of a bustling city. It is completely different from the hustle and bustle of the urban area and is filled with a strong atmosphere of life everywhere.

The streets are winding, and the houses on both sides are lined up in an orderly manner.

It was dinner time, and many families had fires burning in their kitchens. Wisps of smoke rose from the chimneys and drifted slowly in the air.

It seems to weave a warm picture of urban life, telling the warmth and warmth of ordinary days.

He Yuzhu found an empty space on the street to park his car, walked up the stairs, and soon reached the third floor.

Standing at the door of the Peach Sisters' house, he took out the familiar key from his pocket, gently inserted it into the keyhole, turned it lightly, and with a "click", the door slowly opened.

When I stepped into the living room, the house was quiet and silent, with no one in sight. Only the old-fashioned wall clock was making a slow "tick-tick" sound.

Like a loyal historian, he silently records the passing of every minute and every second.

However, he could hear bursts of noise coming from the kitchen, the sounds of pots and pans colliding together, as if someone was busy preparing dinner.

He Yuzhu walked towards the kitchen lightly, tiptoeing like a cat.

He took every step carefully, for fear of disturbing the people in the kitchen.

When he reached the kitchen door, he turned slightly sideways and put his eyes close to the crack in the door.

I saw a slender figure busy in front of the stove. The fire reflected the figure, outlining her graceful outline.

The pot was steaming, and the man would pick up the spatula from time to time to stir-fry, his movements skillful and smooth.

But since he could only see the backs, he squinted hard and tried to distinguish, but still could not be sure whether it was Ruan Mi or Ruan Tao who was cooking.

However, in He Yuzhu's heart, the two sisters each have their own style, and no matter which one, they all have unique charm, enough to make his heart beat.

The scenes of his daily interactions with the two sisters flashed through his mind, and the corners of his mouth inadvertently rose slightly, revealing a sly smile.

Then, he no longer hesitated, straightened his body, walked over confidently, stretched out his arms, and firmly hugged the figure's slender waist from behind.

When He Yuzhu suddenly hugged her without any warning, Ruan Mi was so shocked that her whole body froze and the spatula in her hand almost fell to the ground.

The dish she was stir-frying jumped restlessly in the pan, and the splashing oil almost splashed onto her hands.

At this panicked moment, He Yuzhu's gentle "dear" came into her ears. Ruan Mi seemed to be under a spell. Her tense body relaxed instantly, as if all her bones had been pulled out, and she leaned softly and weakly into He Yuzhu's arms.

She snorted softly, "You big bad guy, you walk without making any sound, are you trying to scare me to death?"

As she spoke, Ruan Mi turned her pretty face to the side, her beautiful eyes like clear autumn water, staring at He Yuzhu, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and she glanced at him with a smile.

There was a mixture of love and anger in his eyes, like a spring breeze, gently blowing through He Yuzhu's heart.

He Yuzhu's heart trembled when he saw this.

An irresistible impulse suddenly surged in my heart.

The surrounding noise disappeared in an instant.

The only thing left in his eyes was Ruan Mi's tempting cherry-like mouth.

His Adam's apple rolled, as if he was swallowing some tension and desire.

Then he leaned forward without hesitation.

He moved in a hurry, as if if he slowed down a step, the beauty before him would disappear like smoke.

Yet he was also quite cautious, as if there was a rare treasure in front of him, and he was afraid that his reckless actions would damage it.

Finally, his lips covered Ruan Mi's lips accurately.

At that moment, time seemed to stand still.

The whole world seemed to be left with only the intertwined breathing and rapid heartbeats.

Ruan Mi was completely defenseless.

The hot breath suddenly approached, causing her to let out a moan.

Just like a defenseless, frightened little bird, its fragile body trembled slightly and was full of panic.

She turned around suddenly.

The fingers, so thin that they seemed to be easily broken, subconsciously pushed twice.

Each blow was as light as a feather.

In front of He Yuzhu's body that seemed to be made of steel and as strong as a mountain, this act of resistance was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, and could not shake him at all.
