Courtyard House: My Wife is Xu Huizhen

Page 734

Then, she gracefully rolled over and nestled against He Yuzhu's broad chest like a gentle kitten, before gently kissing her way down his chest...

And just like that, a whole hour passed without us even realizing it.

Lou Xiao'e finally straightened up, looking somewhat tired, and slowly got out of bed. Then, with a slight bend in her back, she hurriedly rushed into the bathroom.

She picked up her toothbrush, squeezed on some toothpaste, and began brushing her teeth carefully and attentively.

Once, twice, three times... until she was sure there was no more bad taste in her mouth, Lou Xiao'e finally put down her toothbrush with satisfaction and walked out of the bathroom.

By this time, He Yuzhu had also finished getting ready. Seeing Lou Xiao'e come out, he quickly reached out and grabbed her, asking with concern:

“I suddenly realized that my sister-in-law and the others had disappeared, and you had also been missing for so long, so I was really worried. Later, I had no choice but to ask around for help, and I never expected that it would be a high-ranking leader who found me in the end.”

Lou Xiao'e nodded slightly and continued, "You probably know what happened next, Brother Zhu. That's how I got assigned to work here."

He Yuzhu patiently inquired about the specific details, and after understanding them clearly, the two slowly walked out of the lively courtyard and stepped back into the solemn office building.

It turns out that a room was specially prepared for He Yuzhu to use as an office.

The apartment has three rooms. The spacious and bright one in the center is He Yuzhu's private office; the one on the left belongs to Lou Xiao'e; and the smaller one on the right has been set up as a comfortable lounge.

He Yuzhu carefully inspected every corner with great interest, a very satisfied smile appearing on his face.

At this moment, Lou Xiao'e stepped forward and reported softly:

"Brother Zhu, the director of this production base is named Xiang Jianhui. I heard that he has specially prepared a banquet tonight to treat you well."

"Hmm, not bad. By the way, what about the materials I asked you to prepare before?" He Yuzhu suddenly remembered this important matter and asked.

Lou Xiao'e quickly replied, "Don't worry, Brother Zhu, all those documents will be loaded onto the ship and transported along with the goods."

He Yuzhu nodded after hearing this, then turned his gaze to Lou Xiao'e, a slight smile playing on his lips, and asked with a hint of anticipation, "Xiao'e, have you ever thought about going to Hong Kong with me?"

"Huh? I..." Lou Xiao'e was clearly surprised that He Yuzhu would make such an invitation.

“It’s you! If you’d like, I can definitely take you to Hong Kong for a visit,” He Yuzhu emphasized again.

Lou Xiao'e pondered for a moment, then looked up at He Yuzhu and said slowly, "Brother Zhu, actually I would really like to go there for a visit, but I have never considered living there long-term."

"Oh? Why is that?" He Yuzhu asked, his face full of doubt.

Lou Xiao'e said softly:

"Actually, there's no particular reason. You see, my sister-in-law and the others are over there, so I'll go with you when you get there."

Lou Xiao'e pondered to herself. She had originally thought that once she went to Hong Kong, she would have to live with Xu Huizhen and the others day and night, a situation that made her feel somewhat awkward and strange. In comparison, staying here was much more comfortable and at ease.

Time flies like an arrow, and before we knew it, it was evening.

The afterglow of the setting sun spilled onto the earth, as if draping everything in a golden veil.

Just then, He Yuzhu was invited into an elegantly decorated restaurant. As soon as he entered, he saw the high-ranking leader smiling and waving at him.

The senior leader warmly introduced He Yuzhu to each of the leaders at the production base.

Besides the director named Xiang Jianhui, there were several deputy directors and factory directors from various factories.

These people came together to jointly oversee the daily operations of the entire production base.

After everyone was seated, the conversation naturally turned to the construction of the production base. Everyone spoke freely and expressed their opinions.

It is understood that the infrastructure construction of these factories is currently mainly undertaken by the mainland side, while He Yuzhu is responsible for providing the crucial equipment and raw materials.

According to the plan, He Yuzhu's ships will come regularly 2 to 3 times a month to continuously transport the necessary equipment and raw materials, and take away the finished products for sale in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia.

However, it is worth mentioning that some of the products produced by the factory are also supplied to the domestic market, but this is beyond the scope of what He Yuzhu needs to worry about.

After in-depth communication and discussion, both parties not only reaffirmed their respective positions and responsibilities, but also successfully agreed on the details of subsequent cooperation.

However, during this time, He Yuzhu was met with a fierce attack of drinking. Faced with one glass of wine after another, he could hardly resist and had no choice but to use his unique skill - the art of pretending to be drunk.

Upon seeing this, the staff at the scene quickly helped the unconscious He Yuzhu up and took him directly to the courtyard where Lou Xiao'e lived.

Time flies, and two days have passed in the blink of an eye.

During this time, all the cargo scheduled to be loaded onto the ship had been properly secured. Lou Xiao'e personally escorted He Yuzhu to the dock. As she watched the ship about to set sail, she suddenly seemed to have made up her mind, and quietly leaned close to He Yuzhu's ear, whispering in a voice only the two of them could hear:

"When you come again, I...I will give my body to you completely."

After saying that, Lou Xiao'e's pretty face instantly flushed with a shy blush.

Upon hearing this, He Yuzhu was slightly taken aback at first, then nodded solemnly in response:

"Okay, I will definitely come to see you again in a few days."

Upon seeing He Yuzhu's affirmative answer, Lou Xiao'e seemed unable to suppress her shyness any longer. Her delicate body trembled, and she turned around and ran back like a startled deer.

As the ship slowly sailed out of Yangcheng Bay, it was headed to Indonesia according to its planned voyage.

At that moment, He Yuzhu decisively disembarked from the large ship and boarded a smaller boat. He then drove the small boat at high speed and eventually returned to Hong Kong Island successfully.

After arriving at his destination, He Yuzhu rested briefly before immediately starting to organize the relevant materials.

He devoted himself to a comprehensive and meticulous study of the design drawings for the vacuum tube radio.

Through in-depth research, he discovered that the radio products currently popular in the domestic market are still dominated by vacuum tubes, while the more advanced transistor radios have not yet been widely used.

Although the components used may differ, the design concepts and circuit designs actually share commonalities.

By drawing inspiration from these existing circuits, replacing the vacuum tubes with transistors, and making slight adjustments, a mature product design solution can be created.

Along with the samples, they also included all the electron tube samples and complete production technology data.

Only after venturing into this field did He Yuzhu suddenly realize:

It turns out that transistors cannot completely replace vacuum tubes. In fact, vacuum tubes possess some unique functional characteristics.

Especially in the field of audio, vacuum tubes produce a superior sound quality compared to transistors.

For this reason, the other party considered everything very thoroughly and transferred all of their electron tube production technology to He Yuzhu without reservation.

In the heart of the bustling capital city, there stands a renowned factory—the Beijing Electron Tube Factory.

This factory is the largest in Asia dedicated to the production and manufacturing of electron tubes.

Back when the factory officially started production, the total investment was a staggering 100 million RMB!

It employs tens of thousands of people and produces 1200 million vacuum tubes annually.

Amazingly, it successfully recouped all its initial investment just one year after production began.

Now, He Yuzhu has successfully obtained a complete set of technical data. After careful consideration, he finally decided to produce a batch of vacuum tubes.

After all, the market demand for high-quality vacuum tubes should not be underestimated.

With his advanced technology and rich experience, He Yuzhu is confident that he will be able to stand out in this highly competitive market and get a share of the pie.

After all, they can produce speakers, and there are no professional audio equipment manufacturing factories in Hong Kong.

We first copied some vacuum tubes in space, but before we can officially start production, we have to wait for the next trip to get the vacuum tube production equipment.

After He Yuzhu returned, he called Huang Zhirou over.

After glancing at the report, he was quite surprised and asked, "Why are watch sales so good now?"

In just a few days, the display showed that 5000 watches had been sold.

Initially, customers were buying goods as a form of distribution, and they couldn't buy this much every day.

The continuous outward wholesale is quite fast.

"The bulk of the goods are sourced from your friend's trading company."

He Yuzhu had only looked at the total amount before, and was only looking at the list now.

The trading company that took the most goods was Du Guanghe's, followed by Huo Yingdong and Liao's trading companies, and the Li family also took a lot of goods.

He Yuzhu nodded and said, "Contact them, I'll treat them to afternoon tea."

In the afternoon, Du Guanghe was naturally not invited to his usual teahouse.

The only people who could drink tea were Huo Yingdong and his father-in-law, Liao Baoshan.

The three of them ate snacks and drank tea, first talking about watches, and then about other business matters.

Huo Yingdong suddenly brought up the sea sand business, saying, "There are many construction sites starting up recently, which has led to a rise in the price of sea sand. I want to go to the mainland to discuss buying sea sand."

Liao Baoshan was surprised: "What? You want to go to the mainland?"

Huo Yingdong nodded slightly in agreement and said:

“A few days ago, I first embarked on a journey to England to experience the exotic customs of a foreign land, and then rushed to Thailand without stopping. There, after careful selection, I finally bought a sand dredging vessel named ‘Manhattan’.”

In fact, Huo Yingdong had mentioned this matter to He Yuzhu before, hoping that He Yuzhu could personally make the trip to buy the boat.

After all, he highly valued He Yuzhu's exceptional skills and felt that if He Yuzhu accompanied him, he would definitely be a capable bodyguard.

Unfortunately, due to scheduling conflicts, He Yuzhu was unable to make the trip, so he sent Du Guanghe to take his place.

This "Manhattan" dredging vessel is a real behemoth!

It is 280 feet long and has a load capacity of up to 2890 tons.

What's even more amazing is that it can quickly dredge and extract up to 2000 tons of silt from the vast ocean in just 20 minutes.
