Chapter 444
Eleven o'clock in the afternoon.
Exit of Z City International Airport.
"Huang Xu, welcome home!"
"Thank you! Thank you Brother Rui and sister-in-law for coming to pick me up."
As soon as he walked to the exit of the station, Huang Xu saw Zhang Rui coming to pick him up at the door, and his girlfriend An Ying beside him.
I greeted the two of them with a smile, and after a brief chat, the three of them drove back to the city.
In less than an hour, the three of them were sitting at a night market stall near the hotel.
“Wuhu~~, it’s so cool!”
“Summer really has to be about beer and barbecue!”
After licking two skewers of mutton skewers and drinking a large glass of beer, Huang Xu couldn't help but sigh as he blew the cool night breeze.
Looking at Huang Xu's exaggerated reaction, Zhang Rui also laughed and joked.
“Isn’t it just mutton skewers? Is it such an exaggeration?”
“How long has it been since you’ve eaten?”
“It’s been a long time since you’ve eaten! ”
"The main reason is that there is no place selling kebabs in Seoul."
Faced with Zhang Rui's teasing, Huang Xu responded, then picked up two skewers of mutton and brought them to his mouth again .
While chewing the meat skewers, he complained to Zhang Rui.
“And not only mutton skewers, there are not many other delicacies. By the way, you have also been to Seoul.”
“Tell me, at night over there, Is there anything delicious? ”
"Um~~, it's not bad. The pig's trotters, chicken feet, seafood, scallion pancakes, etc. over there taste pretty good."
Listening to Huang Xu's complaints, Zhang Rui first said Stunned, he then defended Seoul.
A few months ago, when he traveled around Seoul with Huang Xu, he tasted a lot of delicious food.
Not only did I gain a lot of knowledge, but I also tasted some exotic flavors.
Just waiting for him to finish, he heard Huang Xu continue to complain.
"Yes, those things taste good, but tell me, besides those, are there any others?"
"Also, does the night market over there have as many varieties as here?" "
After saying that, Huang Xu pointed behind him. Although it was already twelve o'clock, the night market was still brightly lit and crowded.
Zhang Rui took a look, recalled the scene he saw in Seoul, and nodded helplessly.
“It is true that there are not many kinds over there.”
Then he poured a glass of beer, touched it with Huang Xu, drank it in one gulp, and then complained to Huang Xu.
“People like you who like to eat and drink have indeed suffered a little in the past.”
“Otherwise, why would I think about setting up a franchise chain company?”
Huang Xu responded with a smile, using the topic of food, and then chatted with Zhang Rui and his girlfriend An Ying for a while about college life.
After drinking for three rounds and reminiscing about old times, Zhang Rui could no longer hold back and asked Huang Xu.
"Huang Xu, what on earth are you thinking?"
"What?"
Huang Xu, who was eating and drinking and intoxicated in the comfortable atmosphere of the night market, heard Zhang Rui's question first Startled.
After a few seconds of reaction, I finally understood what he wanted to ask.
“Oh~, Brother Rui, are you talking about opening a milk tea shop?”
"Milk tea shop?"
"Are you going to open a milk tea shop in Korea?"
Before Zhang Rui could say anything else, An Ying looked at the two of them curiously.
As Zhang Rui's girlfriend, he still has a certain understanding of his boyfriend's work.
I know that his company in Huang Xu determines the taste of materials and the supply chain.
Huang Xu, on the other hand, opened a chain franchise in South Korea.
So when I heard the two said that they wanted to open a milk tea shop, I was quite curious.
Huang Xu looked at the curious An Ying, but he didn't mean to hide it, and said to her with a smile.
"Yes, we are going to open a milk tea shop in South Korea."
"How about it, sister-in-law, what do you think of the market prospects of this proposal?"
"I"
"I don't understand this, you should discuss it among yourselves!"
Hearing Huang Xu's question, An Ying was also startled, and even looked shy because of , blushing.
It is precisely because she knows something about Zhang Rui's work that she also knows a little about the scale of Huang Xu's current industry.
Can a newly graduated accountant like her be able to intervene in an investment involving hundreds of millions?
So after finishing speaking, he lowered his head and prepared to "play dead".
But after seeing her like this, Huang Xu still had no intention of letting her go, and then asked her.
“It’s okay, sister-in-law, tell me, we just want to listen to more external opinions.”
“Our target customers this time are highly overlapped with you, sister-in-law. Maybe you can also Can you come up with new ideas for us?”
“And don’t be afraid if you make a mistake, it’s just chatting.”
"Let's talk, don't let me interfere with your thoughts."
Seeing that Huang Xu was not going to let her go, An Ying also glanced at Zhang Rui with a bitter face, wanting to let her boyfriend Give me a few words of help.
However, Zhang Rui, who had high hopes from An Ying, spoke to her as if he did not understand her plea for help.
"It's okay, just tell me what you think."
"It's okay if you say it wrong."
"."
Listening to what her boyfriend said, if she wasn't outside now and Huang Xu was there, An Ying wanted to show Zhang Rui the consequences of not helping her.
But even if she couldn't get started, she still gave Zhang Rui a warning look.
Then he turned to look at Huang Xu, considered his words, and then said to Huang Xu.
“What I said may not be correct, it’s just my personal opinion. Just listen to it.”
After adding a layer of non-buff to herself, she officially started.
"I personally feel that you should have good prospects for opening a milk tea shop there."
"Although I have never been to South Korea, I think it should be similar to China, at most better than us. It’s just a little developed here.”
“As for the development speed of milk tea shops here, I don’t think I need to say more.”
“Since there is a market here, then. Going to South Korea should be the same!”
"."
"Okay, thank you sister-in-law for your analysis."
After listening patiently to An Ying's "nonsense", Huang Xu did not show any displeasure. He smiled and expressed his thanks.
No way, who told him not to have high hopes for An Ying?
Ignoring Zhang Rui's "look at it" expression, he and An Ying had a glass of beer and ended the topic.
Then he looked at Zhang Rui next to him and continued.
"Okay, Brother Rui, let's get to the point now."
"What is your question now? I will tell you everything I know today."
"Okay, then I'll ask." Zhang Rui was not polite to Huang Xu, and then asked him about his doubts in the past few days.
“I don’t object to you opening a milk tea chain store, but why do you want to give the company to Goo Hara?”
"Yes, she is your girlfriend. It is indeed inappropriate for me to advise you like this, but you also have to think about it for yourself."
"After this kind of chain franchise company grows in scale, the profit will not be A little bit? "
After using Jiu Jin to throw all his doubts to Huang Xu, Zhang Rui sat there, waiting for his answer quietly.
In fact, he also knew that as Huang Xu's employee, he should not question Huang Xu's decision.
Especially this matter is related to Huang Xu and his girlfriend.
He, an outsider, should not get involved in this kind of thing between lovers.
But as Huang Xu’s roommate, he was also the classmate with whom he had the best relationship after several years in college.
He still couldn't help but want to say a few words to Huang Xu.
And An Ying, who had lowered her head just now, looked up at the two of them in shock after listening to her boyfriend's words.
Although Zhang Rui never told her how much money Huang Xu and his company had.
But during her casual conversation, she still had a general impression.
For example, Huang Xu's company has more than 400 stores, and his assets must be over 100 million now.
Huang Xu achieved this value through two franchise chain stores.
So now this milk tea shop, even if it doesn’t make as much money as the previous two, should probably cost over ten million.
Moreover, it was actually a gift from Huang Xu to his girlfriend.
Why is he so willing?
Looking at Huang Xu's indifferent expression, An Ying was as confused as Zhang Rui at this time.
Huang Xu looked at the expressions of the two people and shook his head helplessly. After drinking the beer in the glass, he explained to the two people.
“Things are not as simple as you think.”
“Brother Rui, as I told you before, the company is now a bit too big and has attracted the attention of many people. .”
“You can’t open a company in our name now.”
“I know, I know all this.”
“It is indeed difficult to open a company in a foreign country like South Korea. It will be easy to be noticed by the locals.”
“So you are planning to open a company in the name of Goo Hara, and I have no objection.”
Zhang Rui repeated his words first. point of view, and then repeated his point of view.
"I don't even object to you giving Goo Hara some shares."
"It's just that you gave all the company to Goo Hara, which is really a bit..."
"After all, you two Not married yet?"
"I understand, Brother Rui, you are doing it for my own good."
"But don't worry, listen to my thoughts first."
Seeing the constipated expression on Zhang Rui's face, Huang Xu smiled and comforted him, and then explained to Zhang Rui.
“I was quite busy the past few days, so I may not have made it clear to you.”
“My current idea is actually very simple, which is to give the company in South Korea to Goo Ha La, it’s a guarantee I gave her.”< br>
“But this does not mean that I will not open a milk tea chain company.”
“Compared to the market in South Korea, China’s market size and development potential are comparable to those in South Korea. A lot.”
"Huaxia Market?"
Hearing Huang Xu talk about Huaxia Market, Zhang Rui was stunned for a moment, then showed an expression of surprise and suddenly patted his thigh.
“Yes, why did I forget about the Chinese market?”
“I was only thinking about South Korea and forgot that our roots are in China, and whether it is scale or potential, it is not South Korea can compare.”
“If there is a Chinese market, you really don’t have to pay too much attention to South Korea.”
"And there are many other benefits of using Goo Hara's name over there."
Seeing that Zhang Rui finally understood what he was thinking, Huang Xu quickly added.
“For example, if we have various new products, we can conduct experiments in South Korea and accumulate rich products.”
“Then we can also conduct trial and error, so that when we When the Huaxia company opens, it will reduce a lot of mistakes. "
"And by then, if the company in Hora develops better, we can also use the reputation there to directly enter Huaxia as an imported product. .”
"."
"That's right!"
After Huang Xu's calculation, Zhang Rui was no longer so opposed to the incident just now.
Since Huang Xu doesn't care, and it will be of certain benefit to their future development, then why is he holding on to it?
So in the following conversation, the two of them were no longer talking about Goo Hara, but started chatting about some preparations needed for the next step.
After briefly reporting to Huang Xu, after the preparations he had made for the milk tea shop in the past few days, it was already one o'clock in the morning.
At this time, the three of them were also preparing to end today's dinner.
Just after settling the bill and the three of them were preparing to leave, Huang Xu suddenly remembered another thing.
“Brother Rui, have you told your sister-in-law about that?”
“Uh~~, not yet!”
Zhang Rui was also a little embarrassed after hearing Huang Xu's words.
Huang Xu told himself about this matter a few days ago, but he hasn't told his girlfriend yet.
Fortunately, Huang Xu just mentioned it. After hearing that Zhang Rui hadn't said anything, he didn't say anything. Then he separated from the two of them and walked back to the hotel.
On the other side, after Huang Xu left, An Ying also looked at her boyfriend with some curiosity.
"Zhang Rui, what exactly is Huang Xu talking about?"
"Why are you still related to me?"
"Well~~, I haven't figured out how to tell you yet."
Looking at his curious girlfriend, Zhang Rui said Shi was also a little hesitant.
He hasn't talked to his girlfriend. In fact, the main reason is that he hasn't thought about it well and has some concerns.
Now he owes Huang Xu a lot, so when he heard Huang Xu say a few days ago that he asked his girlfriend to follow him to help him, he felt a little embarrassed.
After all, as he continues, his debt to Huang Xu will only increase.
However, no matter how struggling he is, now that his girlfriend knows it, he can no longer hide it.
So he went on to tell his girlfriend briefly.
It’s just that after listening to Zhang Rui’s story, An Ying’s focus was not on the next work.
But looked at Zhang Rui curiously and asked.
"What exactly does Huang Xu's family do?"
"Why have they just graduated and already opened so many companies and become big bosses?"
"He The family is just an ordinary family.”
“I remember he said that his father just works at home, nothing special.”
Drinking a lot of wine makes his brain’s reaction speed slower. Zhang Rui, unable to hear the meaning of An Ying's words, simply introduced Huang Xu's family situation.
So after An Ying listened to Zhang Rui's words, she went through a series of cross-examinations.
“Since he comes from an ordinary family, why has he achieved so much now?”
“And you are just working for him?”
"I"
