Chapter 739: The Living King of Hell at Home

~8 min read 1,555 words

When He Yuzhu hauled all these production lines and equipment back to his own chip factory, the engineers were ecstatic.

In this lifetime, the domestic computer level compared to the world, the gap is not that large.

Thanks to He Yuzhu starting to lay out the computer field in the fifties, plus Man Yatou's intelligence and talent, the country did not fall behind in the eighties.

However, in terms of commercial application and iteration, it is a bit slower than the United States and the "little days" (Japan). After all, the average level of domestic technology is just there.

Now it is good; once this batch of equipment arrived, the short board of computer storage was basically filled.

Tian Dan stood in the middle of the factory floor, looking at the rows of production lines, her mouth unable to close: "Zhuzi, only now do I understand why you called me over. If it were anyone else, they would definitely be scared out of their wits."

He Yuzhu smiled and said: "Sister, you must keep a close eye on these technical personnel; don't let them leak any information. Also, the labels on the machines, find someone to get rid of them..."

Tian Dan patted her chest to guarantee: "Don't you worry, with me here, this place is a secret base."

The Global Trading Company has been open for a year and has developed very quickly.

Yi Xiaotian is mainly responsible for the production and sales of fishing rods and fishing gear. He cooperates particularly well with Ivan; Ivan has already returned to his country several times, taking away over a hundred thousand worth of goods each time.

Ivan has become the company's best salesperson, and more than half of the Global Trading Company's fishing gear was sold by him.

The remaining half is wholesaled at Xiushui Street.

It can be said that the Global Trading Company's fishing rods have been shipped to all parts of the world.

On He Zheng's side, he mainly does two types of business: selling liquor and down jackets.

The "old hairy ones" (Russians) are quite appreciative of these two items.

Having experienced the previous setbacks, Chen Xueru no longer considers Xueru Clothing as her only factory; she has increased investment in her own sole-proprietorship clothing factory.

The factory He Daqing is responsible for mainly produces down jackets, all used for export to the "old hairy ones."

After expanding duck farming, they can produce over a hundred thousand down jackets every year, and this alone brings the company hundreds of thousands in profits.

However, what makes He Zheng the most money is still liquor exports. The Soviet people love to drink too much; it really fits that saying—the "old hairy ones" will even drink industrial alcohol.

At first, He Zheng's white liquor was all purchased from Liu Sanman. Later, the quantity was not enough, and Liu Sanman's liquor belonged to the mid-range, so the profit was not that high.

He Zheng personally ran to Shandong and found several low-end white liquor manufacturers to do the processing.

With He Yuzhu's guidance, He Zheng learned to manage his own brand. No matter who he gets the liquor from, the final label is his own brand—"He Mansion Aged Brew."

Bang Geng looks quite idle on his end, but he belongs to the type who doesn't open for business for a year, but once he does, he eats for three. Selling a set of repaired furniture and shipping it to Hong Kong can earn him hundreds of thousands.

The company scale is getting larger and larger, with over a hundred employees. They pay high wages, so many university graduates have also joined one after another.

He Zheng's side has also started to have "orioles and swallows" (young women) around him.

Secretary Lin Hong is a beautiful girl, one meter seven tall, with an oval face and delicate features; she is very likable.

A while ago, the He Family had too many things going on, and Chen Xueru's side was even on the verge of bankruptcy.

Although He Zheng and Tianzhen were engaged, they kept delaying the wedding, and quite a bit of gossip spread in the courtyard.

Yang Ruihua went everywhere saying that He Zheng doesn't care about Tianzhen, "eating what's in the bowl while looking at what's in the pot."

Qin Huairu couldn't sit still after hearing this gossip.

This day, she stopped He Yuzhu as he was returning home.

He Yuzhu asked with a smile: "In-law, is something the matter?"

Qin Huairu said unpleasantly: "Don't call me in-law, I see the marriage between our two families hasn't even started yet!"

"What kind of talk is that? We're already engaged, how can you say it hasn't started?"

"Yang Ruihua is now spreading news all over the street that He Zheng is having an affair with his female secretary!"

"Where did this news come from?" He Yuzhu frowned.

"There is a family surnamed Gu next door who also works at the Global Trading Company. They say He Zheng has someone named Lin Hong who is clingy with him every day."

"Sister Qin, don't you worry. If he dares to betray Tianzhen, I'll break his dog legs! We'll hold their wedding during the Spring Festival."

Seeing He Yuzhu so straightforward, Qin Huairu felt happy: "That would be great, I'll go prepare things right now."

He Yuzhu laughed: "Xueru has a clothing factory over there, you don't need to prepare anything, our family will handle it."

"How can that be? We are marrying off our daughter, we have to send gifts too."

"That's up to you." He Yuzhu said as he walked.

Qin Huairu suddenly called him back: "Your family has so many people, is the East Cross Courtyard not big enough to live in? How about buying a house, my family can also contribute some money."

He Yuzhu shook his head: "I'll lend them a place to live first, and they can buy one when they have money. I won't let Tianzhen suffer any grievances."

Only then did Qin Huairu truly become happy.

As soon as He Yuzhu got home, he saw Chen Xueru frowning at a report.

"Xueru, what happened to the company?"

Chen Xueru sighed: "The higher-level departments and the neighborhood office come to borrow money or apportion expenses whenever they are short. Counting it up for this year, most of the profits have been siphoned off; let alone dividends, there isn't even money for advertising."

After listening, He Yuzhu sighed: "Comrade Xueru, I always feel that last time the public side didn't let you go bankrupt, but instead trapped you. If you had really gone bankrupt back then, your other company would have been up and running by now, and the money lost would have been earned back. Now it's good, you can't get a single cent of the company's profits, and sooner or later, you'll be eaten up."

Chen Xueru was helpless: "Then what can be done?"

He Yuzhu smiled: "If you ask me, you should hand this company over to Xiaomei. And don't let my father be the Factory Director anymore, he is too old. You should put your main energy into our own clothing factory. This kind of Public-Private Partnership company is inherently hard to manage. You have to make spring clothes in winter and autumn clothes in summer. But look at you, no money, new products can't be launched, this year is basically wasted."

Chen Xueru sighed: "It is indeed hard to handle."

He Yuzhu didn't tell her that in later generations, he had seen too many such companies; they were either hollowed out by private individuals or went bankrupt due to poor management—too many to count.

Work was over.

Lin Hong lingered and wouldn't leave.

He Zheng glanced at her: "Xiao Lin, work is over, why aren't you going home?"

Lin Hong gathered her courage: "He Zheng, will you accompany me to see a movie? Everyone says there is a movie called 'Blood is Always Hot', it's so good, especially the speech by the Factory Director, it was so moving that everyone shed tears. I really want to see it."

He Zheng smiled: "If you want to see it, why not find your boyfriend to accompany you? What's the point of asking me? I'm a man who is already engaged."

Lin Hong bit her lip: "I heard that Tianzhen doesn't care about you at all."

He Zheng's face darkened: "Xiao Lin, don't spread such talk again, and don't have any improper thoughts. I am a man who is already engaged; if I don't marry Tianzhen, my father could beat me to death directly."

Lin Hong did not believe it: "Is your dad really that formidable?"

He Zheng laughed and deliberately lowered his voice: "Do you know how many people my dad has killed?"

A chill ran down Lin Hong's back: "Your dad... has even killed people?"

"My mom secretly told me that my dad killed at least eight hundred, if not a thousand, little devils... and also some bad members of the Bald Party."

Lin Hong's face turned pale; she grabbed her bag and ran outside.

He Zheng watched her retreating figure as she ran away, unable to help but giggle, and muttered to himself: "Having a dad like this is actually pretty good; he can ward off evil."
