Chapter 476
The next afternoon, Incheon International Airport.
"Xiao Xu, is this the airport in South Korea?"
"It feels no different from the airport we departed from, doesn't it?"
“I even feel that it is not as advanced as ours.”
Huang Wensheng, who came to South Korea for the first time, looked very disappointed when he looked at the environment of the airport and the pedestrians coming and going.
Before he came to South Korea, he had great expectations and longing for South Korea.
But now that he saw that except for signs in Korean and people communicating in Korean, the environment was basically the same as in China, he couldn't help but feel disappointed.
Huang Xu, who was next to him, listened to his father's sigh and the disappointed expression on his face, and explained with a smile.
"Dad, South Korea is developed because it developed relatively early, so we feel that it is more advanced."
"But after so many years of development, China has caught up with them and is no worse than them."
"It is even said that as long as the country maintains this development speed, it is not impossible for us to surpass them in a few years."
"Is that so?"
Listening to Huang Xu's explanation, a confused expression appeared on Huang Wensheng's face.
In the past ten years, most of his understanding of the outside world and foreign countries came from television and radio.
As for South Korea, as one of the developed countries in Asia, in his mind, it should be very developed and advanced.
Especially after Huang Wenfu came to South Korea to work, he added a layer of filter to South Korea through Huang Wenfu's mouth.
There is no way, everyone who goes abroad to work will say bad things after returning home?
Aren’t they all reporting good news but not bad news?
Huang Xu looked at his father's expression, didn't say anything, and took him directly to pick up their checked luggage.
My father's situation is actually very common among people who go abroad for the first time, or who have never been abroad before.
To put it bluntly, we have a very strong filter on foreign environments and societies.
And the person with this kind of filter is not just my father, but a microcosm of an era.
Nowadays, a large number of people in China have a very serious filter on foreign countries due to the propaganda and preparation of various media.
These things require them to really go abroad, or wait until the era of self-media arrives and see the real situation abroad before they can be disenchanted.
So in the face of his father's doubts, Huang Xu didn't explain too much. Instead, he took his father to pick up their luggage, then pushed the car towards the exit of the station.
"Dad, this is"
"There is"
Walking and explaining along the way, the two of them soon arrived at the international flight exit.
At this time, Huang Wenfu was already waiting for the two of them at the exit.
"Brother, welcome to Korea!"
. . . . . . .
Ten minutes later, after a brief chill, the three of them drove together towards Seoul.
At this time, after Huang Wensheng looked at the farmland outside the car window for a while and the low villages in the distance, the disappointment on his face became more obvious.
"Xiao Xu, this is really what you said."
“There seems to be nothing special about Korea!”
"Dad, I told you, don't have any expectations when you come to South Korea. This is just a small country in East Asia."
"It's just that he developed earlier and publicized it better."
“Actually, our domestic development is really no worse than here.”
Seeing the disappointment on his father's face, Huang Xu patiently explained to him.
Listening to Huang Xu's explanation, Huang Wenfu, who was driving in front, couldn't help but interrupt.
"Brother, Xiaoxu is right. This is actually the case abroad."
"In the past, foreign development was indeed better than domestic development, and we were in a leading position everywhere. But in recent years, our country's development speed has been very fast."
"In many aspects, China is no worse than these developed countries."
"You don't know how shocked I am every time I see the development there."
"So we have developed so well?"
Listening to the words of his brother and son, Huang Wensheng's world view suffered a huge impact.
He was born in China, grew up in China, and lives in China.
But I have been living in the countryside in the hinterland of the Central Plains. Although I feel that life is better now, everyone has money, and many families have built new houses.
However, these changes are all carried out subtly. Compared with the high-rise buildings in movies and TV series, there is still a huge gap.
That's why he feels that Huang Xu's development is still lagging behind that of developed countries abroad, and there is a huge gap.
However, everything he saw today showed that his perception was wrong.
Abroad, it seems to be the same thing, and there is not much difference between it and domestic.
This made him a little confused.
On the one hand, it is the worldview that has been developed over several years, ten years, or even decades, and on the other hand, it is what I have seen with my own eyes.
Just as he was looking at the scenery outside the car window and lost in thought, Huang Xu and Huang Wenfu had no intention of disturbing him.
Both of them actually went through a similar disenchantment stage and felt the same way.
After the two people fell into tacit silence, time passed slowly.
But it didn't stay quiet forever. After being silent for more than a minute, Huang Xu suddenly remembered the situation of the catering company, and then asked Huang Wenfu.
"Uncle, how many of our directly-operated stores have been transferred out now?"
"What?"
"Have you finally remembered about the company?"
Upon hearing Huang Xu's question, Huang Wenfu immediately started mocking mode.
Ever since he and Huang Xu agreed to transfer the store and reduce the assets in South Korea half a month ago, Huang Xu had once again become the hands-off shopkeeper, leaving everything to himself.
Of course, if it was just like this, he wouldn't have such great resentment.
After all, this was the division of labor between the two of them before.
Only this time, Huang Xu left everything to himself and ignored it completely, which made him a little angry.
You must know that it is the transfer of more than thirty stores.
There are too many tedious tasks that he needs to deal with, including transfer price evaluation, contract negotiation, and selecting suitable successors.
In addition to this, there are also layoffs of company personnel and tax declarations, which also give him a lot of headaches.
As the big boss of the company, Huang Xu ignored these things, which inevitably made him feel a little resentful.
It would be the same even if Huang Xu was his nephew.
Huang Xu smiled sheepishly after listening to his uncle's complaints, and then continued.
"Isn't this my uncle, are you here?"
"With you here, what do I have to worry about?"
"You~~ know how to say nice things."
Huang Wenfu shook his head helplessly, his words full of doting on Huang Xu.
At the same time, Huang Xu trusted him, and he felt very happy.
As a middle-aged man who has been working hard in society for 20 years, he can be said to have a very clear understanding of the warmth and warmth of people in society.
How many good friends or even relatives have started a company or restaurant together, but they all end up having some unpleasant troubles.
And Huang Xu felt very happy that he still trusted himself so much when the company was so large and involved so much money.
So after sighing, he started to tell.
"Currently, 13 of the 20 pickled fish companies have reached an agreement and are going through the procedures and procedures."
"The remaining seven are currently communicating with interested customers."
“As for those Malatang restaurants, that’s not the case now”
"This is going a bit fast!"
Huang Xu couldn't help but sigh when he listened to his uncle's progress report.
In more than half a month, more than a dozen stores were transferred. This speed is abnormally fast.
Huang Wenfu listened to Huang Xu's sigh and explained modestly. "The main reason is that our business is good and popular."
"And the person introduced by your friend is very confident in this business, so it goes so smoothly."
"Really?"
"Then I have to thank Brother Zhong Guo properly when I get back!"
Huang Xu felt a little surprised when he heard the news.
When Kim Jong Kook said earlier that there were many artists who wanted to join this business, he didn't take it seriously.
After all, most Korean artists are stingy or stingy in real life.
If you want to transfer a store like theirs that has been built and is in very good business condition, it is not a small sum of money.
It will take at least several billion won.
The massive investment made by these artists was somewhat beyond Huang Xu's imagination.
Huang Wenfu didn't know what surprised Huang Xu, but he just expressed his agreement with Huang Xu's statement.
"You can really thank him properly."
"I heard from the customers who made the deal that he helped you promote it in the circle."
"Okay, uncle, I'll go find him after I've been busy for the past few days."
Although it felt a bit unexpected, Huang Xu still kept it in mind.
In preparation for these few days, I will first take my father around South Korea, and when I am done, I will go to Kim Jong Kook to express my gratitude.
When Huang Wenfu heard what Huang Xu said, he nodded slightly to express his agreement.
But then, he raised his head and glanced at the rearview mirror, and then hesitantly asked Huang Xu in Korean.
"Xiao Xu, what are you planning to do when you bring your dad here this time?"
"Take him out to see the world, travel, and enjoy happiness?"
"Or do you want to take him to meet your girlfriend?"
"Yes, both."
Huang Xu heard his uncle Huang Wenfu suddenly ask him in Korean, and he quickly answered in Korean.
Then the two started communicating in Korean.
"My dad has been living in the countryside all his life. Now that I have money, I want to take him out to see the world."
"Of course, the most important thing is to take him to see his daughter-in-law."
"He really should come out for a walk."
When Huang Wenfu saw Huang Xu being so filial, he nodded with satisfaction and expressed his affirmation.
But then, Huang Wenfu asked Huang Xu.
"Then are you going to ask Goo Hara and Sunny to meet your dad?"
"Have you thought about how to explain it?"
"No, Sunny won't come forward, only Hara herself."
"Holla herself?"
Listening to Huang Xu's words, Huang Wenfu was also stunned.
Although he was a little dissatisfied with Huang Xu having two girlfriends at the same time.
But I am quite satisfied with the two candidates for niece-in-law, Sunny and Goo Hara.
Now that Huang Xu only asked one person to show up, wouldn't it be a little bad?
Then he asked with concern.
"What about sunny? What should she do?"
"Have you decided how to explain it to her?"
"Don't worry, this matter has been discussed."
"That's okay, as long as you have discussed it, don't get angry because of this."
Hearing Huang Xu say that everything had been discussed, Huang Wenfu was still a little worried, but he didn't say anything.
Although he is Huang Xu's uncle, really speaking, he is just an "outsider".
It’s hard to say too much about his love life.
While the two were communicating in Korean, Huang Wensheng, who was meditating next to him, had already woken up from his meditation.
Huang Xu frowned and listened to the two communicating in a language he didn't understand, looking a little curious.
After finally waiting for a pause in the conversation between the two, he immediately said to them.
"What are you communicating about?"
"How to communicate in a foreign language?"
"Are you discussing something without telling me?"
"Ah, no, I was just chatting with my uncle about the company."
Huang Xu looked at his curious father and quickly explained.
And Huang Wenfu also nodded slightly, which was considered as a testimony for Huang Xu.
When Huang Wensheng saw this, he did not continue to delve into the matter of the two communicating in foreign languages, but asked curiously.
"By the way, you two have opened a company here. How is the situation now?"
"Why did I just hear you two saying that you wanted to transfer the store? What happened?"
"Is there something wrong with the business?"
"Something went wrong."
Seeing his father's concerned look, Huang Xu suddenly had the idea of teasing his father, and then responded in a low tone.
When Huang Wenfu, who was driving in front, heard what Huang Xu said, he just smiled and had no intention of exposing it.
The final consequence was that Huang Wensheng became anxious immediately after hearing Huang Xu's words.
"Xiaoxu, what's wrong with your business?"
"Is it difficult to deal with?"
"To what extent has it developed now?"
"Since the company is so difficult, then you still have time to bring me here. Shouldn't you deal with the matter quickly and think of a solution?"
"Besides, you."
"Dad, don't worry! Things are not what you think."
Listening to his father's questioning and his anxious look, Huang Xu quickly held his father down and began to explain.
“The problem with our company is not that business is not good, it’s that it’s a little too good, so it’s more difficult.”
"Now my uncle and I have a company in our name"
"You damn kid, why are you scaring me when you have nothing to do?"
After listening to Huang Xu's explanation, Huang Wensheng felt relieved.
Then he hit Huang Xu on the shoulder several times in a row to vent his anger.
Just now, he was really shocked by Huang Xu's words, but fortunately it was just a false alarm in the end.
But after this commotion, the disappointment he felt when his filter was shattered just now has almost disappeared.
At this time, the vehicles had entered the urban area of Seoul and it was gradually becoming more prosperous.
Huang Xu then pointed out the window and began to introduce the scenery and buildings on both sides of the road.
Twenty minutes later, following Huang Xu's introduction, a group of three people arrived at the underground garage of Longshan Apartment.
Then the three of them pushed six or seven suitcases, as well as several large boxes, slowly to the twelfth floor.
Huang Xu opened the door of the apartment while introducing the situation of the apartment.
But when he opened the door and saw the sound of wiping hair inside, he froze there.
"You~~, why are you here?"
