Siheyuan: Pioneer in anti-corruption, fighting against evil!

Not long after they arrived home, He Wencheng drove back.

Wen Li quickly asked, "Wen Cheng, are you interested in her?"

"I like her. She's so beautiful, how could I not be moved?" He Wencheng said, "I'm just not sure if her personalities are compatible. We need to get to know each other better.

"You are a man. If there is a conflict, you must learn to be humble and give in!" Wen Li instilled this truth into her son.

However, He Yuzhu retorted: "Don't take this seriously. Blindly giving in will only foster dependence, which may become a hidden danger in the future.

"What do you mean?" Wen Li was puzzled.

He Yuzhu explained: "When you first get along with someone, it is a critical period to understand each other's personality. If you always give in, what if they stop giving in in the future, won't that be a problem?"

"Did I ever give in to you when we first met?"

"I think should not be?"

"You have to give criticism when you have to, right?"

"..." He Wencheng listened attentively. The three siblings had always been curious about how their parents got together, so why was it brought up with criticism now?

Such harsh words took him by surprise.

"..." Wen Li was speechless for a moment.

"See, I was right!" He Yuzhu said with a smile, "Kid, when two people meet for the first time, they should show their true selves, so that they can know whether they are suitable for each other.

“If you both wear masks and live together after marriage, the masks will eventually fall off.

It will be too late to regret by then.

"If they hate each other, the end result may be divorce.

"I understand.

" He Wencheng nodded and assured, "I will take care of it.

...

On Sunday, He Wencheng drove to pick up He Qing, and the two went to Beihai Park together.

They walked into the park, strolled to enjoy the scenery, and then rented a boat for a row.

Soon they stopped rowing and let the boat drift.

"Wipe your sweat.

"He Qing handed over a handkerchief, and He Wen took it and gently wiped the sweat from his forehead.

“Luckily I exercise regularly, otherwise rowing would be much harder.

"He Wencheng said: "By the way, I heard something about my parents.

"Oh?" He Qing became interested. "How did they get together in the first place?"

"This is what happened..." He Wencheng began to narrate.

After listening, He Qing agreed: "Your father is right, the two of you should be honest with each other and show your true selves.

"But why did he use the word criticism?"

“Not sure, they don’t seem to want to talk about it.

"He Wencheng spread his hands, "But this at least means there is some progress. I have already told my elder brother and sister the news.

“Pfft…” He Qing laughed, “You two siblings have such a good relationship, and you both seem to be very interested.

"Of course I'm interested!" He Wencheng's eyes lit up, "Ever since I can remember, my dad has been especially good to my mom, unlike other people.

“I hardly ever saw my mother cook, except when my father prepared a banquet, then she would cook for us.

“And it tastes really good, my mom said my dad taught her.

“On the surface, my mother has the highest status in the family, but the actual decision-making is always made by my father, and my mother just follows.

"Do you think their relationship is strange?"

He Qing thought about it and said, "It's really a bit strange!"

(

“When I was a kid, we lived in a compound with three courtyards, housing more than a dozen families.

"He Wencheng recalled: "Everyone knows the situation of every family, only our family is different.

"The shantytown should be very lively, right?" Being from the south, He Qing was not very familiar with the hutong life in Beijing.

“It was very lively, with children coming in and out like a swarm of bees.

"He Wencheng smiled and said, "But having too many people also has its troubles. For example, going to the toilet in the morning is like fighting a war.

“There is only one running water and you have to queue up for everything.

"It sounds really lively!" He Qing found it novel.

“It’s definitely lively, but if you live there for a long time, you’ll have a different perspective.

In the morning, whoever gets up first will rush out, and the public toilet is so small. Do you know how many people there are in the alley? "He Wencheng shook his head.

"Does your family still live in the courtyard house?" He Qing asked, "Is the situation still the same now?"

“No, our family bought a yard and my father remodeled it. Now we have toilets and bathrooms in the front and back, and we can even take a bath at home.

"He Wencheng explained, "This is also the reason why I choose to commute. It is convenient to drive, and the facilities at home are complete and very comfortable.

"I actually enjoy this kind of life, just like I didn't want to get tanned, so I gave up applying to a military academy and chose a national defense university instead.

“Oh, what you said is really…” He Qing thought for a moment, then said with a smile, “You deserve a beating. You two are really good at studying. You can go to any school you want.

“That’s true. It was mainly influenced by my grandfather. He used to be a teacher at a normal school and taught all his life. We lived with my grandparents most of the time.

"He Wencheng continued," But my grandparents have passed away, but I still have a grandfather, and he doesn't live in Beijing now.

"Oh? Why aren't you here?" He Qing asked curiously.

He Wencheng did not hide anything and briefly introduced He Daqing's situation. He Qing was surprised when she heard it. She did not expect such a story.

"Are you surprised?" He Wencheng said with a smile, "My father was very angry at first, but he started to take care of my aunt the next day. Even after she got married, she would often come home to visit us.

“She has two children and they are the closest people to our family now.

He Qing said enviously: "I really envy the relationship between your family members!"

“If you have the opportunity, you can also become a part of us.

"He Wencheng made a bold suggestion.

He Qing's face flushed slightly, and she turned her head away without saying anything.

He Wencheng chuckled, picked up the oar and continued rowing.

……

"Mr. He, I have long heard of your name.

"A man with a strange accent came to visit. He was wearing a neat suit and a bow tie, looking serious and polite. He bowed deeply when they met, which surprised He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu quickly realized that this was a Japanese! "Who are you?" he asked.

“I am Zhichun Yamashita, and I am visiting you this time in the hope of discussing some cooperation matters.

"Yamashita Zhichun directly stated his purpose.

He Yuzhu frowned slightly, he knew that the other party would not just be in it for trade, he probably wanted to acquire the company.

"Come in!" He opened the door and led him straight into the living room, which was a reception room converted from the front wing.

After the two sat down, He Yuzhu boiled water to make tea, and Yamashita Zhichun looked at him quietly.

When the tea was ready, He Yuzhu poured him a cup. He took it with both hands, one hand supporting the bottom of the cup and the other hand protecting the cup, and sipped it slowly.

"Good tea!" Yamashita Zhichun finished a cup before commenting.

"I think you may have guessed that your purpose is acquisition, right?" He Yuzhu did not talk about tea anymore. He had already fulfilled his courtesy and now it was time to get down to business.

“Indeed, the Master He brand is very well-known in China and we believe it has high investment value.

However, my visit this time is not for acquisition, but to become a partner.

Yamashita Shiharu explained.

He Yuzhu understood that something like this would happen sooner or later, but these guys had a very sharp sense of smell and came to him so quickly.

“I’m sorry, but I don’t lack funds, so I can’t accept the investment invitation.

“He Yuzhu refused directly.

Yamashita Zhichun smiled and said, “Mr. He, with all due respect, you don’t look like a successful businessman.

“Accepting our investment, expanding rapidly, and occupying a larger market share is your most sensible choice at this moment.

He continued, “There are a lot of business strategies involved and we can help.

He Yuzhu smiled and responded: "Haha, if that's all, then there's no need to say more.

“Because I know that after accepting the investment, my control may be diluted, after all, there are other shareholders in the company.

"He then analyzed, "When the time comes, I will be responsible to the shareholders and increase profits, right?"

Yamashita Zhichun was speechless for a moment, and the other party obviously understood the reason.

"Mr. He, would you like to reconsider and listen to our offer?" Yamashita Zhichun did not give up easily, "This is a very high offer.

“I will not sell my shares at any price.

He Yuzhu said firmly, “Your offer may be attractive, but it doesn’t mean much to me.

“First of all, I am not short of money, and the improvement of our country’s consumption level is limited. Even if we expand production, our consumption capacity is limited.

“He listed the reasons.

“Secondly, I have no competitors. Although there are many food factories, the uniqueness of my products is unmatched. Similar products are scarce, and the taste is incomparable.

“Finally, I don’t have to chase profits due to shareholder pressure, I guarantee product quality and reasonable prices.

Yamashita Zhichun seemed a little confused. Was he really just a chef? They had investigated He Yuzhu, but they didn't expect him to understand business operations so well, especially his awareness of capital defense and his own advantages.

“Mr. He, we can discuss further, such as technical issues.

"Yamashita Zhichun lost his previous calm, "We have advanced food technology.

"Haha," He Yuzhu laughed, "You should have investigated me. Master He's food was developed by me, and you should be familiar with the formula.

“Have you made any breakthroughs in food safety and preservation?”

Yamashita Zhichun felt that he had been completely seen through: “I understand, but I hope you can reconsider it.

Business competition is not just about quality.

(He Yuzhu was not surprised. He said, "It seems you haven't seen my subsequent advertising yet!"

Yamashita Zhichun was stunned. They had indeed seen some advertisements. The early instant noodles advertisements were well done, but the subsequent ones were not studied in depth. The main focus was on the product formula, but this was very difficult because the formula had been patented and had international patent protection.

He Yuzhu has completed all the necessary steps. After all, he has heard many lessons from domestic brands in his previous life, and he will never repeat the same mistakes.

"Okay, stop beating around the bush, just use whatever tricks you have, and see if I'm afraid of you.

"He Yuzhu stood up and said, "Please go back!"

"Goodbye!" Yamashita Zhichun stood up and bowed slightly. On the surface, it seemed polite, but he was not here for etiquette.

After seeing the other party off, He Yuzhu closed the door and began to think.

He Yuzhu was not surprised by those people targeting Master He.

In later generations, many domestic brands were acquired by foreign capital. Of course, as we continued to develop, we also began to go global and in turn acquired foreign companies.

In this process, many excellent domestic brands have declined or even disappeared, which is indeed regrettable.

He Yuzhu knows that his abilities are limited, and for a long time, I have used this as an excuse to avoid taking on more responsibilities.

But now it’s different. The problem has come to him, but He Yuzhu, who was well prepared, didn’t take it to heart.

The other party was helpless at the moment. After all, the information age was not yet mature, and television and newspapers were still controlled by the government.

They can't find a way to spread rumors right away, and it will take time to ruin their reputation.

In the future, should we take some actions to save some domestic brands?

He Yuzhu was a little hesitant!

……

"Who's here?" Wen Li asked.

He Yuzhu briefly described the situation, and Wen Li was a little angry after listening: "How can these Japanese be so arrogant?"

“Capital is like this. Even if they are not there, other capital will intervene in the future, and the essence will be the same.

"He Yuzhu said calmly, "Don't mind it. In the current era of underdeveloped information, it is difficult for them to succeed in spreading rumors.

“The Master He brand has long been deeply rooted in people’s hearts, and as time goes by, there will be more and more competitors.

But as long as we stay true to ourselves, no challenge is too great to fear.

“Okay, just keep it in mind.

"Wen Li said, "There is a limit to what I can do to help you."

"Do not worry.

"He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Now Master He's food is gradually occupying the market and gaining popularity. In the long run, their first choice will be Master He."

“As long as we maintain the quality and taste of our products, their trust will last.

“Of course, the key is to increase advertising efforts, which is crucial.

I plan to build a strong publicity team.

“With enough advertising, rumors will be exposed.

The content of recent advertisements has changed to introduce the food formula, ingredients used and the composition and safety of preservatives.

Therefore, He Yuzhu learned that the other party had not paid attention to the latest advertisement and made the final threat.

Ordinary people are not well-informed about this information, and due to lack of understanding, they are easily frightened by rumors.

Therefore, He Yuzhu decided to inform ** directly and provide scientific education.

Ensure food safety, especially popular instant noodles and newly launched tea drinks.

Tea drinks are quite popular. Children naturally like them, and some adults also like the taste.

However, with wages generally low, beverage prices appear slightly higher and purchases are relatively low.

However, in the southern cities that opened earliest, sales were good and the product was warmly welcomed as soon as it was launched.

The output of Qiandao Lake Beverage Factory has stabilized and can meet market demand. There is no need to expand production at the moment, and the new factory is still under construction.

Jiang Weimin can take a temporary leave. After all, he also needs to improve his relationship with Xu Jingping, and the two will be getting married soon.
