"Boss, you're amazing!"

Xu Zekai, the factory manager who originally thought that increasing the inventory by 5,000 units was too risky, now admires the young boss immensely after seeing the booming sales.

How did the boss know this product would sell so well?

It seems he's not just a singer; he's also quite the businessman.

If the boss hadn't asked for an additional 5,000 units, the previous 3,000 units really wouldn't have been enough to sell.

Besides the factory manager, everyone else in the factory, including ordinary workers on the production line, admired the boss's vision.

The workshop is busy with production now, and workers' wages have also risen accordingly. Ordinary workers can earn five or six hundred yuan a month, including overtime pay.

This is already half as much as the national average wage.

Employees are more motivated to work hard when they are paid.

Even in Guangzhou, many migrant workers know that this electronics factory is profitable and pays high wages, and there are long queues of people applying for jobs.

In comparison, Mr. Cao only made a small profit.

Thanks to the hard work of the sales department, orders from major cities such as Beijing, Hangzhou, and Nanjing have been pouring in.

The number ranges from as few as 500 units to as many as over 1,000 units. Some smaller cities even contacted us after hearing about VCD products.

But Mr. Cao said that the products couldn't be produced and that he could only ship half of the orders first.

The order queue was even backed up to three.

"At this rate, with the combined effect of trade shows and advertising, let's see if we can sell 100,000 units next year?"

Mr. Cao sat in his office, looking at the reports, his face crinkling with laughter.

Currently, the first batch of 3,000 units has been completely sold out, and more than 2,000 of the additional 5,000 units have also been sold.

In just over half a month, the company's sales exceeded 15 million, and it made a profit of more than 7 million.

However, this is just the beginning. When VCDs become widespread, video recorders are gradually phased out, and the advertising effect begins to show, that's when you'll really make money.

Cao Jian's goal is to earn a small fortune next year!

This wasn't the 21st century, but the early 1990s. A small goal could definitely become a large enterprise.

At the end of August, Cao Jian was arranging the trade fair when he suddenly received a call from Wang Fei.

"Honey, how's work going?"

"almost."

Upon receiving Wang Fei's call, Cao Jian realized it was time for him to return to Hong Kong.

However, he still asked, "How's it going in Hong Kong? What's the situation with the murder of that man surnamed Huang?"

"I've asked around, and the storm has passed."

"Then I'll be back soon."

Cao Jian felt a little relieved. After hanging up Wang Fei's call, he called Mei Yanfang.

"Sister Mei, how's the film and television company doing?"

"It's all settled. We can start filming as soon as you get back."

Over the phone, Mei Yanfang knew that Cao Jian had gone out to lay low and might be having a good time, so she laughed and said, "The Huang matter is over now, and besides, I'll protect you. Come back soon."

"Then I'll go back the day after tomorrow."

Cao Jian confirmed his return date to Hong Kong and finally left the electronics factory.

I've been busy making money lately and only managed to see Yang Yuying twice. Now that I'm going back to Hong Kong, of course I have to spend some time with this girl.

Since Yang Yuying appeared on the Spring Festival Gala this year, her popularity has soared. Among female singers in China, she may only be inferior to the national team and A Mao, among others.

Although she hasn't released "Dreamy Water Town" yet, all of her albums have sold over three million copies so far.

My schedule is packed with commercial performances and events on various TV stations.

Of course, she has also made a lot of money and is already quite wealthy.

Although some people coveted Yang Yuying's beauty, Li Qiang, the boss of the new era, gave no one a chance.

Li Qiang knew very well that Yang Yuying was Cao Jian's girlfriend.

Although Cao Jian has left, he is still the company's cash cow.

This guy not only helped make Yang Yuying famous, but also Mao Ning.

If someone leaves their girlfriend here and I can't take good care of her, I'll definitely be unable to explain myself. If Cao Jian gets angry and makes Yang Yuying leave New Era, then the loss will be huge.

It is said that Mr. Cao's business is very large, a star enterprise, and he also has a very good relationship with the local city leaders.

Therefore, Boss Cao's girlfriend must be taken good care of.

On the night before leaving Guangzhou, Cao Jian treated Mao Ning, Yang Yuying, and others to dinner.

"Mao Ning, has anyone been bothering Xiao Yang lately?" "Yes, but the boss has blocked them all."

At the doorway, Cao Jian and Mao Ning were smoking and talking about Yang Yuying.

"Oh"

Cao Jian frowned and took a deep drag on his cigarette.

Li Qiang, with his background in the Cultural Bureau, can handle some minor figures; what if he does in the future?
Although I have a good relationship with the local government of Guangzhou, I don't have enough power.

In case someone even more powerful tries to take advantage of Yang Yuying in the future, she needs to be able to stop them.

What kind of strength is it for a man?
money!
With money comes connections.

Money paves the way; this is an age-old truth.

Cao Jian secretly vowed to make more money as soon as possible, and then said to Mao Ning, "I'm leaving things in Yangcheng to you. If anything happens, call me immediately."

Mao Ning patted his chest and assured him, "Brother Jian, don't worry, I'll keep an eye on your wife for you, everything will be fine."

After dinner, in bed.

After their intimate moment, Cao Jian asked Yang Yuying if she had been harassed.

“Honey, I suddenly realize that being famous is not good at all. Sometimes when I participate in commercial performances, some people deliberately get me drunk. I know what they want to do.”

Although Yang Yuying has earned a lot of money, she gets a little irritated when the topic comes up: "I really want to sing for another two years, then I'll stop singing, we'll get married, and then I'll have children for you, okay?"

"Okay."

Cao Jian plans to turn this woman into a true superstar, but she wants to have a child, which is a great idea.

As for marriage
Can't you have children if you're not married?

But whether she chooses not to sing is up to her.

However, he still asked, "What if someone harasses you in the next two years?"

"I will try to participate in as few commercial performances as possible in the future, and the company doesn't dare to do anything to me now."

Yang Yuying leaned against her boyfriend's chest: "Darling, don't worry, I've made up my mind about you for the rest of my life, and no matter what, I will only love you!"

Cao Jian really wanted to record those words; they might come in handy if a chaotic scene were to break out in the future.

You said you would only love me no matter what, including if I had other girlfriends.
Two days later, Cao Jian left Guangzhou and returned to Hong Kong.

This time when I came back, I also brought several VCD sales staff with me.

This machine might be unaffordable for ordinary people in mainland China, but it is definitely affordable for people in Hong Kong.

He sent the sales staff to promote the product, and upon returning to Hong Kong, the first thing he did was visit the company.

Since Cao Jian acquired YES! magazine, along with Men's Magazine, his publishing house has become the largest magazine publisher in Hong Kong.

Two magazines, each published twice a month, are released at different times to ensure the novelty of the content and to boost sales.

Each issue sells over 120,000 copies, and sometimes even more than 150,000 copies.

In which issue of Zhu Yin did she captivate many men with just that wink? The book sold 160,000 copies.

With these sales volumes, the magazine's profits are sufficient to sustain the publishing house's operations.

The advertising revenue then became Mr. Cao's profit.

In just this area, Cao Jian earned more than 15 million yuan in these three months.

Besides the magazine, the milk tea shop has grown to 100 locations in Hong Kong, covering the entire city and becoming the largest milk tea chain.

"Maybe Starbucks won't even be needed anymore in the future."

Cao Jian smiled faintly.

Although I'm almost at the goal of increasing my net worth, I still need to keep working hard.

To become a wealthy family, you need to work even harder.

Only by reaching the elite level can one possibly have multiple affairs without causing a major upheaval.

After leaving the company, seeing that it was still early, he went to find Mei Yanfang to learn about the film company and the "Fong Sai-yuk" project.

"Ah Jian, you've finally come back after your carefree trip? Did you pick up any Taiwanese girls in Taiwan?"

Upon meeting, Mei Yanfang looked at Cao Jian with a half-smile.

"You really are my best friend, you know me so well."

Cao Jian first gave Mei Yanfang a hug and said with a smile, "Sister Mei, you've worked hard these past few days. Congratulations on the box office success of 'Justice, My Foot!' How's my film investment going?"

"Let's not talk about the movie yet."

Mei Yanfang, however, was not about to let this guy off the hook: "Tell me the truth, how many Taiwanese girls have you been with?"
