Courtyard House: My Wife is Xu Huizhen

Page 781

He Yuzhu grinned mischievously and replied with an air of entitlement, "Hehe, baby, let's take a bath together!"

Before he finished speaking, he pushed open the bathroom door without hesitation and strode in, carrying Liao Lieying, who was blushing and at a loss.

Huang Zhirou, who witnessed this scene from the side, was completely stunned. So much so that the showerhead she was holding slipped from her grasp due to shock and fell heavily to the ground with a thud.

Liao Lieying gazed shyly at Huang Zhirou, who was as beautiful and delicate as a flower. Her heart pounded wildly, and her cheeks flushed crimson, making her incredibly embarrassed.

Huang Zhirou was the same way. She lowered her head slightly, not daring to look Liao Lieying in the eye, but she would occasionally steal glances at her from the corner of her eye. When their eyes met by chance, they would quickly look away as if they had been electrocuted, and then couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Seeing this, He Yuzhu, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but burst into laughter and said:

"Look at the two of you! Now that we've been completely honest with each other, we're all family now!"

However, Liao Lieying and Huang Zhirou did not think so. The two of them tacitly swung their two fair and pink fists at the same time, gently punching He Yuzhu's body, while scolding him for talking nonsense.

After this little bit of playful fighting, the three of them went into the bathroom together to take a shower.

He Yuzhu stood casually in the middle, with two beautiful women flanking him on either side.

At this moment, He Yuzhu felt as if he were in a dream, and the scene he had longed for had actually come true.

The two women were too shy; after taking a shower, they lay quietly on the bed with their backs to him, not daring to move at all.

However, this made it easier for He Yuzhu to do his thing. A wicked smile appeared on his lips, and his restless hands, like nimble snakes, moved left and right, gently caressing the two women's bodies, as if kneading soft dough.

Faced with He Yuzhu's intimate gestures, the two women blushed deeply, but showed no sign of rejection; instead, they tacitly approved of his actions.

While fully enjoying the wonderful feeling of having women on both sides, He Yuzhu muttered to himself:

"I've never really given you anything decent before, you shouldn't be angry with me, right?"

In fact, He Yuzhu was quite considerate to the two women in his daily life, and would often buy them some exquisite jewelry or other small and cute gifts that had just been launched on the market.

The most expensive gift he ever gave was registering a luxury villa directly in Huang Zhirou's name.

Of course, the magnificent villa that stood atop Victoria Peak eventually returned to its rightful owner, Liao Lieying, and became her private property.

Why are you suddenly bringing this up?

Liao Lieying blinked her beautiful, captivating eyes, her face full of doubt as she asked. He Yuzhu smiled slightly and answered slowly:

"Our company is now gradually getting on the right track and developing quite well. So, I've come up with an idea: I'm planning to have you register a new company tomorrow. This company will serve as a source of private funds for the two of you and other related personnel."

In fact, He Yuzhu had already planned that most of his businesses would be left to his children with Huizhen.

But at this moment, he also needs to start planning for the future of his other children, and at the same time, prepare some extra pocket money for his beloved women.

Upon hearing this, Liao Lieying suddenly turned around, staring intently at He Yuzhu, and eagerly pressed for an answer:

"What exactly are you trying to do?"

Huang Zhirou, who was standing nearby, quickly turned around and hugged He Yuzhu tightly, saying coquettishly, "Don't you want us anymore?"

Faced with their questions and concerns, He Yuzhu quickly patted Huang Zhirou's back gently, comforting her:

“Silly girl, don’t overthink it! How could I possibly abandon you? I mentioned before that I would give you an industrial building, but after thinking about it carefully, it didn’t seem quite right. It would be better to help you find some suitable businesses to manage.”

If everyone could be allocated an industrial building, it wouldn't be entirely unbearable. However, the problem lies in the fact that the locations of these buildings would vary in quality, and each person's management capabilities would also differ.

As time goes by, gaps will inevitably emerge between them. As a result, various conflicts will inevitably erupt.

At this moment, He Yuzhu spoke up:

"You should know in your hearts that besides the two of you, there are quite a few other women."

Upon hearing this, one of them couldn't help but chide:

"Boss, when it comes to being a womanizer, who can compare to you!"

He Yuzhu chuckled after hearing this, but did not respond. Instead, he continued:

"That's why I intend to make this soon-to-be-registered company a company jointly owned by all of you."

He then explained to the two women in detail. It turned out that the company would belong to all the women connected to He Yuzhu, including the two women in front of him, the Du sisters, and Elena, among others.

Although most of these women were not short of money, He Yuzhu still hoped to treat everyone fairly.

After all, Huang Zhirou is the one with the most ordinary family background and relatively tight budget among them, and the Peach Sisters who may join in the future also come from ordinary families.

Seeing that the two were listening attentively, He Yuzhu paused and then asked:

"So now, what kind of business do you think this company should engage in?"

He Yuzhu said with piercing eyes:

“We could consider developing some complementary products! For example, we could purchase a batch of injection molding machines so we could produce radio casings ourselves; or we could simply acquire a cardboard box factory to manufacture packaging boxes, and so on.”

He spoke while gesturing, appearing confident and composed.

However, since the factory does not yet have sufficient factory space available, these supporting products can only be obtained through direct external procurement for the time being.

But that's okay. As our business grows and our scale expands, we will have the opportunity to gradually improve our own supporting product line.

Hearing this, Huang Zhirou nodded slightly in agreement:

"Alright, I'll start arranging the relevant matters first thing tomorrow morning."

At this point, He Yuzhu added, "By the way, we need to come up with 50 yuan in cash first for initial operating funds and to purchase necessary equipment."

Huang Zhirou blinked, then asked:

"So, are we still buying just one set of equipment, like before?"

He Yuzhu answered without hesitation: "That's right. Right now, we just need to set up the basic framework first, and then we can arrange for the mechanical workshop to start production later."

It is worth noting that, under He Yuzhu's careful guidance and instruction, the factory now has quite a few intermediate-level workers, and even two senior lathe operators have emerged.

If this trend continues, most common equipment will be able to be manufactured domestically.

Of course, if these self-made devices are sold to external parties, there may be legal issues such as patents. However, if they are only produced and used internally to meet the needs of the factory, other manufacturers probably wouldn't bother to come to the factory for a strict inspection.

Therefore, all kinds of procurement activities will choose only the first option to implement.

Once the decision is made to start production, most of the products will be manufactured and processed by the company itself.

He Yuzhu would only personally step in and use the magical abilities of his space to produce the goods when he was truly unable to produce them on his own.

The next morning, sunlight poured into the room through the window.

The clock had already struck nine o'clock when He Yuzhu finally managed to break free from the warm embrace of the two beautiful women.

He stretched, then slowly got up and began to tidy his clothes, wash up, and do his hair.

After everything was settled, he leisurely drove his car toward the dock.

Fortunately, despite departing late, we arrived at the pier just in time for the agreed-upon boat departure time with Fok Ying-tung.

He Yuzhu's knowledge of the city of Haojiang was limited to its reputation as a famous gambling city.

In contrast, Fok Ying-tung knew the area very well, and he talked incessantly to Ho Yu-chu about the history of Macau and little-known anecdotes.

The conversation quickly turned to the key issue of the trip – the gambling license.

According to Fok Ying-tung, this coveted license is currently in the hands of veteran gambling tycoon Fu Lao-rong.

The upcoming auction, barring any unforeseen circumstances, will become the stage for a fierce competition between Fu Laorong and another prominent figure, He Hongshen.

A sense of doubt arose in He Yuzhu's mind. Logically speaking, gambling, such a profitable industry, should attract many merchants.

Surprisingly, none of the four most prestigious trading companies participated in this auction.

Filled with curiosity, He Yuzhu posed this question to Huo Yingdong beside him. Huo Yingdong smiled slightly and said:

"This matter is really complicated! Although there are opportunities to bid for gambling licenses every year, there are many risks and shady dealings hidden behind it that are unknown to outsiders."

Simply put, anyone who rashly jumps into the bidding process often ends up failing miserably.

Chapter 555: Recognize the Origin

At the dock, the sea breeze, carrying a salty smell, surged in, tugging at He Yuzhu's clothes and stirring up his emotions.

He Yuzhu stood on the shore, his posture upright but unable to hide the turmoil in his heart. His gaze was fixed on the shimmering surface of the Haojiang River. The water should have been dazzling under the sunlight, but at this moment, it seemed to hide countless elusive whirlpools in his eyes.

"How could this be?" he muttered to himself, his voice instantly swallowed by the sea breeze, his heart filled with doubts surging like the tide, one wave after another.

"Is there some shady dealing going on here?"

His brows furrowed tightly, as if he wanted to twist away all the confusion in his heart, and then he turned to Huo Yingdong beside him urgently, his eyes full of desire to find the truth.

Huo Yingdong's expression was solemn, and he deliberately lowered his voice, as if the surrounding air itself had become heavy because of his words:

"The key issue is that the authorities in Macau had absolutely no goodwill towards foreign firms."

You should know that Haojiang is a place where all sorts of people mingle, like a complex labyrinth of the underworld.

The smoke of war had just cleared when remnants of the Kuomintang army, forces that were like stray dogs after their defeat, and Da Tianpeng and his gang of notorious figures in the martial arts world all fled here like a tide.

Carrying a large number of weapons, they fled to Haojiang seeking refuge.

The Macau government lived in constant fear, their nerves on edge, terrified that these forces of unknown origin and with their own ulterior motives would disrupt the already fragile situation. After all, the situation here was as complex as a tangled mess, and the slightest misstep could plunge them into an abyss of no return.

At this point, Fok Ying-tung straightened his back slightly, a barely perceptible yet proud smile flashing across his face, his eyes full of insight and confidence:

"What you may not know is that in the Macau area, there are only two highly profitable businesses. One is the gold trade. Business tycoons such as Luo Bao, He Xian, He Tian, ​​Zhong Ziguang, and Liang Chang have, through years of operation, deeply entrenched themselves in the gold trading market and firmly control the intricacies and resources. It is extremely difficult for outsiders to get involved."

Secondly, there's the casino business. For a long time, the Gao Kening and Fu Laorong families have dominated the casinos in Macau with their deep-rooted resources and tough methods, with annual revenue steadily around two to three million.
