Chapter 158: with translation of chapter title

Li Xin held a chicken wing in one hand and a wine bottle in the other, drinking with Jian Guo; Jianjun held a bottle of cola and sipped it intermittently.

Line: Qiuti returned, and Huobao also joined the drinking contest; the several brothers from the security company, like Jianjun, all drank cola.

After eating and drinking their fill, everyone went their separate ways; only Jianjun stayed behind.

Li Xin took out another bottle of red wine, poured a glass for Jianjun, and pushed it toward him.

Give it a try, I can handle it; lately I've been having a bit every night.

Jianjun picked up the glass and drained it in one gulp, wiped the corner of his mouth, and licked his lips.

He said, 'It's okay, nothing beats cola; I'm just not used to these things.'

After Jianjun finished speaking, he made Line: Qiuti laugh out loud, jokingly saying, 'Jianjun, from now on when I'm at home, I'll prepare more cola for you; whenever you come, you can drink it.'

Li Xin told Line: Qiuti, 'I'll leave this matter to you to handle; I still have something to discuss with Jianjun, go upstairs to sleep.'

After Line: Qiuti left, Li Xin said to Jianjun, 'Take those two bags back to Xi Gong; I've also prepared two bags, have Chen Chao send them to Wanwan Ma's home.'

Jianjun thought for a moment, then said, 'Boss, I'll go this time; I heard there are many old brothers over there, I'll go take a look.'

Li Xin took a sip of red wine and casually said, 'That's fine; you go, and also straighten out the security company over there; if anyone else comes later, arrange for them to go to Thailand and Korea.'

'There are people everywhere; only then can we move forward more steadily. Tell Chen Chao about these matters; you're not suited for this kind of work.'

Jianjun nodded in acknowledgment: 'No doubt, letting me handle these trivial tasks, I really can't do them.'

As the gang brawl ended, each side was settling accounts; this time Li Xin didn't go to join the fun—it was Jiang Tian Sheng who went with Bo Shu.

Some were happy, some were sad; the clubs that got meat were grinning ear to ear, while those that suffered loss swallowed their bitterness alone. It's said that Victory Union's You Bo smashed his favorite purple clay teapot.

……

Time flowed, days and months shuttled like a shuttle.

The film Heroic Bloodshed premiered, bringing great fame to Red Trust Media.

Finally gaining a foothold in the film industry, Li Xin waved his hand and issued bonuses and red envelopes.

He also received an extra call from Song Zihao, who thanked Li Xin profusely. Brother Hao's relationship with his brother Song Zijie had eased.

This film company is really good, the profits are truly substantial; refurbishing a car shell costs almost as much as a new car!

Making this money feels great!

At the end of 1982, Red Trust Group acquired the Central Federation Building for 660 million, renaming it Red Trust Building.

After this was done, the black money in Li Xin's space, through several companies doing round‑trip accounting, mostly went into Red Trust Group, leaving over 100 million in reserve.

By this point, Red Trust Group had preliminarily taken shape.

At year‑end, each subsidiary was settling accounts; bonuses were paid where due, shares issued where due, and everything proceeded in an orderly manner.

Xi Gong.

Li Xin was bored at home, following Wei Jixiang to inspect the factory; the equipment had been fully installed, and technicians were debugging the machines.

Li Xin asked the person beside him, Hua She, 'What is the main ingredient in Brain Gold? I still don't know!'

'Big Brother, after repeated experiments, the experts selected melatonin as the main ingredient; only this can achieve the effect you mentioned.'

'After Li Zhengren repeatedly sampled it, he said six flavors are quite good and should sell well in Japan.'

Hua She reported to Li Xin, and after finishing, still chuckling, he said, 'Li Zhengren also asked whether we could add a bit of honey to the raw materials, saying it would improve the taste.'

Li Xin raised his middle finger and cursed, 'Does this idiot not know how to cut costs? It's fine if they can drink it; I'm also thinking of them in Japan—what if aging becomes severe later?'

'I'm doing this to solve their problems early; this bastard doesn't appreciate good intentions, wasting my concern for Japan.'

The few people around Li Xin fell silent! Let him be happy as he wishes!

Seeing Wei Jixiang full of vigor, Li Xin patted his shoulder and said, 'Work hard, earn more money for me in the future, and you won't be short of cash.'

Wei Jixiang immediately said gratefully, 'Xin Ge, this is already great; now I earn more in a month than I used to in a year, I'm content.'

Li Tongdao said, 'Hmm, that's good; from now on this place will be your responsibility—you must pay attention to hygiene; other things don't matter, but hygiene must be observed.'

'Our product must enter Japan through proper channels; we just hope to avoid any food‑hygiene issues being discovered.'

Returning home, he made an international long‑distance call to Song Zihao to see how preparations were going there.

'Brother Hao, do you know about Song Zijie's matter?'

Song Zihao laughed heartily on the phone and replied happily, 'Xin Ge, thank you! I already know about Zijie's promotion.'

'That Heroic Bloodshed film turned out well; my relationship with Zijie has improved a lot—I'm really grateful for this.'

Li Xin laughed and asked, 'You really have no blood relation with Di Long, do you? You two look too alike!'

'Don't joke; I only have one brother, Zijie. That Mr. Di Long has excellent acting skills—please tell him thank you for me, and if I get a chance to return to Gangdao, I'll buy him a drink.'

Song Zihao is now in really good spirits; his relationship with his brother has improved greatly, and his brother also understands some of his difficulties—this means more to him than any amount of money.

'As for Japan, the groundwork is mostly done; once the product is ready, we can roll it out on a large scale—the Yamaguchi-gumi is our agent.'

'Kusakari Kazuo also asked me to pass along a message: whenever you have time to come to Japan, he will personally receive you; he very much wants to meet and chat with you.'

Li Xin thought it over; after the New Year he really needs to make a trip over there, as there are still many things for him to handle.

'Like this: after the New Year I'll go over; it just so happens I also have some things to do.'

After hanging up, Li Xin fell into deep thought; the matters in Japan require considerable planning, not something that can be finished in a couple of days.

This time he also needs to bring many people over to provide support and protection for that side, and the talent on hand is truly limited.

After thinking for a while, he picked up the phone and called Yaoyang from his hometown; given his ability, he should be able to handle this well and put his mind at ease.

After the call connected, Li Xin asked, 'Yaoyang, how much longer will your side take to finish?'

Yaoyang immediately replied, 'The VCD has been fully developed; other components are easy, but the crystal and the probe are a major problem.'

'This requires purchasing in Japan; do I need to go there myself?'

Looks like it still has to be Yaoyang!

It's so thoughtful—without waiting for him to speak, his worries have already been resolved.

Li Tongdao said, 'Bring back all the materials, have the lawyer handle the patent; bring back the exterior design as well—apply for a patent on anything that can be patented.'

The factory construction will be handed over to the people you bring along; their homes are in Gangdao, so there won't be major problems, you don't need to stay at your hometown.

After the New Year, you need to go with me to the small life; the matters there will be handled by others, I'm not at ease.

Li Xin's idea is very simple; the market in his hometown really isn't that big now! If someone can imitate it, then let them play with it at home,

Just don't go out; if you dare to go out, then sorry, Xi Gong Pizza Hut welcomes you!

Yaoyang hearing Big Brother say that, the corners of his mouth slightly rose, revealing a faint smile.

Big Brother still trusts him the most; for any important matter, it will be handed to him to handle, and he also has the ability to handle things well for Big Brother.

Li Xin hung up the phone, looking at the brain gold packaging with a smile full of joy.

Your foster father sends the little boy; I, this foster grandfather, will give you some brain gold!

No need to thank!
