Mixed in 1980

Chapter 256: The Business War is Coming to an End

Xu Jinqiu stewed a pot of soothing and brain-nourishing soup and served a bowl to Chen Fan: "Haven't you always liked being the boss behind the scenes? Why did you suddenly end up like that?"

“It always feels incomplete if I don’t take part in the harvesting moment.”

Chen Fan took the soup, took a sip, and his eyes lit up slightly: "Teacher Xu, your cooking skills have improved recently. This soup is authentic and has the quality of Guangzhou people."

Xu Jinqiu raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "I'll cook something else for you tomorrow. The company's affairs are almost done. Our family has already eaten the lion's share. Don't forget the original intention."

From knowing each other in 1980 to 1985!
Four years have passed, and Xu Jinqiu has never forgotten that Chen Fan has mentioned more than once that enjoying life is the primary priority, and making money is only to serve life, and one should not put the cart before the horse.

This has always been the case.

Both Chen Fan and Xu Jinqiu are willing to put down their work and stay with each other.

Chen Fan, on the other hand, has been a little persistent recently.

He was obsessed with being the winner and wanted to have all the cake and his temper became worse and he often lost his temper outside.

It cannot be said that Chen Fan was wrong, but I just didn't want him to be so tired. Once he walked out the door, he would be like a firecracker, wanting to explode at everyone he saw.

If you keep going like this, you'll really become a fighter!

Especially in the case of the acquisition of China Power, the shareholders behind it were too complicated, and the negotiations were round after round, but each negotiation ended in a bad mood.

There were many incidents of banging tables, smashing chairs, and pointing at noses and cursing.

After hearing what Xu Jinqiu said, Chen Fan felt that it was true. He was indeed a little crazy recently. Every time he went out for negotiations, everyone he saw looked like fat meat and he wanted to take a bite of it.

This mentality is actually wrong.

The victory in this business war was achieved by relying on the mainland to get a seat at the table and share the cake, but this dominance is only temporary, not forever.

If you keep this mentality, you will end up in trouble!
Pride brings harm, while humility brings benefit. You cannot always be cocky. I am used to being the boss behind the scenes, so there is no need for me to charge into battle, which would make me seem too narrow-minded.

When it comes to harvesting, what matters is the result, not how much you participated.

After thinking for a while, Chen Fan decided to return to Beijing. Since the acquisition case was handed over to HSBC, he would just let Zhou Wenya and Yu Jing keep an eye on it and he would not get involved.

"It's time to go back!"

Miss Zhao was very happy about Chen Fan's decision.

There is nothing good about life in Hong Kong. The whole family is being watched by the media. Whenever we go out we will be photographed. Not only financial news, but also gossip magazines.

Miss Zhao and Teacher Xu have been in the newspapers a lot recently.

Coupled with the security issues, it is inevitable that she will be targeted by people with ulterior motives. She has to bring a group of bodyguards with her when she goes out. Miss Zhao is fed up with this kind of life.

If it wasn't for accompanying Chen Fan, she wouldn't want to come.

The plane landed in Beijing. Miss Zhao breathed deeply and opened her arms to embrace freedom.

Back home, it’s almost the end of the year!

After being cooped up in Hong Kong for too long, Miss Zhao was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins. She left Chen Fan aside and took Wu Lanying with her to the market every day.

"Sister-in-law, take me with you!"

Within two days, Chen Yi became obsessed with her and either took her with him or held Miss Zhao's thighs and refused to let go no matter what.

Miss Zhao had no choice but to call a bodyguard and take Chen Yi on a tour. They continued to have fun until the end of the year and visited all the big markets in Beijing and its suburbs.

I bought a lot of weird, useful and useless things.

"My dear, are you going out today?"

On the morning of New Year's Eve, Chen Fan slowly opened his eyes, looked at the lazy beauty in his arms, and pinched her nose deliberately to wake her up.

Miss Zhao opened her eyes dazedly: "Hate it, let me sleep a little longer."

"We need to put up spring couplets on New Year's Eve morning, so hurry up and get up."

Hearing this, Miss Zhao got up reluctantly. Her house had three courtyards and two cross courtyards in the east and west, so there were quite a few couplets to post.

In addition to couplets, there are also lanterns!
She bought them all from the market, in large quantities and with more varieties. She herself said that she wanted to make the whole yard bright.

Well...there's also the compound next door.

After pasting the couplets and hanging the lanterns, Miss Zhao was exhausted, but very satisfied: "I will have a New Year's Eve lantern festival tonight, guess riddles and earn red envelopes."

Miss Zhao was prepared for this.

There are riddles and red envelopes hung on each lantern. After the reunion dinner, all four families are called over to have fun with the children.

If the children can’t guess it, the adults can help.

"The Lantern Festival has become the New Year's Eve Lantern Festival. Miss Zhao is also talented!"

Chen Fan was just sighing when he was stopped by Chen Yi, who asked him to help guess lantern riddles. The little girl was very concerned about the New Year's money, which was her pocket money for the coming year.

After the Chinese New Year, I will be ten years old! Chen Yi is no longer a little fool who can't save her pocket money. Last year, she successfully hid her New Year's money, which made Guan Yuemei so angry that she didn't give her pocket money for a year.

The little girl is very tough!

If you don’t want to give it to me, then don’t give it to me. I have too much New Year’s money to

Occasionally, she can act like a spoiled brat to her brother, sister, and sister-in-law, and get a lot of money. Now her savings are more than those of many ordinary families.

But no one knew where she hid the money.

It seemed as if the little girl had awakened her talent for hiding money since last year. Guan Yuemei searched for a long time but couldn't find it, so she was so angry that she beat the little girl up.

For this reason, Guan Yuemei even kept a watchful eye on him!

He deliberately took the money from his daughter's pocket while she was sleeping at night, and when she went to get the money, he took the opportunity to wipe out all of them. In the end, he only took down a temporary stronghold.

Only fifty yuan was found!

The mother and daughter had been fighting for the New Year's money to such an extent that Chen Fan even advised: "It's not much money, just let her keep it."

"You say it's easy? If you develop the habit of spending lavishly, how will you find a husband in the future?"

"As long as I'm here, she can spend lavishly all her life!"

After saying that, Chen Fan was beaten!

Guan Yuemei was angry for more than that: "Your sister took the money and bought people's hearts everywhere in school. She is almost becoming a campus bully."

Chen Fan was disappointed. It was indeed true.

However, Chen Yi is not a bad person by nature and she will not bully others at school. Instead, the real school bully is bullied badly by her, so Chen Fan does not care.

On the morning of the second day of the Chinese New Year, Chen Fan and his family went to his uncle's house first.

Guan Yueshan made a lot of money in the Magic City. After returning to the capital, he directly bought a three-story courtyard house in Dongmianhua Hutong, Nanluoguxiang.

They lived here before going to Shanghai.

Now that I have moved back, even though I haven’t seen my neighbors for many years, I still remember them all and we got to know each other again in no time. Life is very comfortable.

Especially my grandma and grandpa, they feel so comfortable living in the hutong again.

There is a particularly famous place in Dongmianhua Hutong, commonly known as: Central Academy of Drama. Gong Li, Chen Hao, Tang Wei, Tang Yan, and Tong Liya all came out of here.

When passing by here, Xu Jinqiu teased: "If your family lived here before, you would probably have to squat in front of the entrance of the Central Academy of Drama every day."

"That's impossible!" Chen Fan said confidently.

"Stop pretending!"

Xu Jinqiu glared at the man with contempt. This guy is lustful. The Central Academy of Drama is also a place where beautiful girls gather. With his personality, how could he go far away instead of near?

"Teacher Xu, you don't understand the entertainment industry!"

Chen Fan had been a frequent harem lover in his previous life. What he wants in this life is a stable marriage, and he would never look for someone in the entertainment industry.

How many marriages in the entertainment industry are stable?

Not to say there is no possibility, but the probability is low!
To put it bluntly, if Chen Fan wants to sleep with a female celebrity, he doesn't have to put in any effort. He just needs to attend a few more business cocktail parties and he can be the groom every day.

While we were chatting, we had already arrived at my uncle's house.

Guan Xiaoyu came out first, and when she saw Chen Fan, she hung on his back: "Chen Fan, if the red envelope is not big enough, don't even think about letting me down."

Chen Fan teased, "You know it's your sister-in-law who manages the money in our family."

Guan Xiaoyu snorted: "Then I don't care, the red envelopes given by the sisters-in-law are given by the sisters-in-law, you must give me a big red envelope separately."

"Come down quickly, you are so old."

Luo Meijuan came over and slapped her daughter: "Xiaofan, don't spoil her. She's in college, but she's still like a child."

"Aunt, it's okay. When she gets married in two years, she wants me to carry her on her back. I don't dare to do that. I might even get beaten up by my future brother-in-law."

Chen Fan put his cousin down and went to pay New Year's greetings to his elders, and received a few red envelopes.

They are all very thick!
My uncle Guan Yueshan is making a lot of money nowadays. He holds the agency rights of "Hi Le" TV sets in Beijing. It's a seller's market now, so as long as there is stock, there will be no worries about selling it.

He is Chen Fan's uncle, so Lao Gu gives him special face. In addition to the normal market share, he will approve more. He has made a lot of money in recent months.

After having lunch at his uncle's house, Chen Fan went back and visited his three father-in-law's houses in the afternoon.

In the next few days, I accompanied my three daughters-in-law to visit relatives. Although the days seemed busy, they were also leisurely and stress-free.

By the time the Lantern Festival was over, the acquisition of Xiangjiang was nearing completion.

Mr. Shen called personally and asked Chen Fan to come over. In addition to the acquisition, there was another most important matter that required Chen Fan to go over and sign the contract!
PS: The second update is here~ Oh my god, I was so angry about my child doing homework that I took three quick-acting heart-saving pills. I really took them! When a naughty child gets stubborn, he can really kill an adult.
