Chapter 424 Is it so troublesome to buy clothes for a woman?
It was still the 70s, and money was still very valuable.
Lei Luo, the chief of the four chief Chinese detectives, spent more than ten years on corruption, bribery, robbery and extortion, but only managed to accumulate a fortune of 500 million.
It only took Su Mingzhe two years to easily crush Lei Luo and surpass him in net worth with just a small gaming company.
After deducting payments from customers, Su Mingzhe now has nearly 2 billion in assets, not to mention the Overlord Game Company, which is making a fortune and has a growing influence.
Naturally, countless conglomerates and tycoons would envy Su Mingzhe's super money-making ability.
However, because Su Mingzhe pushed the price too low and their own research and development costs were too high, after they spent hundreds of thousands of dollars and before the product could even go into production, they had to declare failure.
Many large companies, seeing that their own research and development is losing money, are considering investing in Overlord Game Company.
However, Su Mingzhe is not short of money, so he naturally would not accept the investment.
Some people also want to play dirty tricks.
Su Mingzhe stayed in the company around the clock, and even at the factory, he hired people from the Number Gang to watch over it 24 hours a day.
No matter whether it is an open or covert attack, it cannot hurt Su Mingzhe in the slightest.
It was seen that Overlord Game Company had grown and began to dominate the game console market.
Some financial groups decided to use a trick to "cut off the source of the firewood" for Su Mingzhe, hoping to control the sales channels of game consoles and gain the right to speak.
In fact, for these consortiums, this way of operation is the correct way of "cooperation".
At present, Su Mingzhe focuses all his energy on research and development, and makes particularly great concessions in terms of channels.
As long as those consortiums control the channels, they can earn considerable profits, so there is no need for them to engage in research and development.
It can even be said that the money Su Mingzhe earns is not as much as those channel dealers.
However, Su Mingzhe doesn't care about these. His current goal is to build his own brand.
As long as the Overlord Game brand is deeply rooted in people's hearts and Su Mingzhe has his company form a real monopoly, any bargaining power will be up to Su Mingzhe himself.
Pujiang, Su Mingzhe's home.
Chen Jianghe is practicing martial arts.
Chen Jianghe, now fourteen years old, has, after hard training day and night, reached a height of 1.7 meters. He has strong muscles and bones, bright eyes, slightly dark skin, and has the demeanor of a martial arts master in his movements, sitting and lying down.
After finishing a round of Baguazhang, Chen Jianghe slowly stopped and waited until his breath calmed down. He saw Su Mingzhe lying on the rocking chair, snoring. He couldn't help but complain to himself:
"Brother, I was boxing just now, did you see it?"
"Hmm? I saw it. I saw it."
Su Mingzhe opened his eyes, his eyes were dazed, and after a while, he said, "You have achieved some success. If you encounter wolves, tigers and leopards, you can barely survive. But you still have to be careful and don't be arrogant..."
Chen Jianghe felt a little discouraged as he listened to his elder brother's nonchalant comments.
For two or three months in a row, my elder brother's evaluation of me has not changed at all.
This is too perfunctory.
Speaking of which, Chen Jianghe is still a teenager. Now that he has achieved academic success, he naturally becomes arrogant.
"Brother, how about we compete again?"
"Let's have a competition?"
Su Mingzhe was stunned, his eyes suddenly flashing with brilliance: "You? Compete with me?"
"Give me two arms, I can definitely beat you!"
Chen Jianghe is not a fool. He knows how big the gap is between him and Su Mingzhe, so he put forward what he thinks is a relatively high level of request.
Su Mingzhe blinked and asked:
"Hit me? Or knock me down?"
"Of course I did... I hit you, brother."
Chen Jianghe was speechless: "Brother, your Qigong is so strong that even a tiger can't bite you, how can I defeat you?"
"Okay, then I'll play with you."
Su Mingzhe was also idle and had nothing to do. He had just returned when he met Chen Jianghe who challenged him.
As the old saying goes:
Beating the kids on a rainy day is just a waste of time.
Chen Jianghe took a stick and drew a circle in a formal manner, requiring the two to stand in the circle to compete.
Su Mingzhe walked in with his hands behind his back.
"Let's start. If I step out of the circle, or start fighting, or if I'm hit by your fist or kicked by your foot, I lose."
"Brother, you said this!"
Chen Jianghe didn't expect his elder brother to be so "arrogant". Stimulated by the desire to win, he rushed into the circle excitedly.
Less than two minutes.
Chen Jianghe, who had been kicked five or six times on the buttocks, ran out of the circle with a bitter face and complained:
"No more fighting, no more fighting, big brother, you don't even give me any leniency. Now all my self-confidence has been destroyed by you."
"I'm afraid you don't know how high the heaven is and how deep the earth is. It's better for you to be beaten by me now than to be beaten by outsiders later."
Su Mingzhe taught Chen Jianghe a lesson, turned around and left home, heading towards his uncle Chaocheng's house.
He just absorbed some of his avatar's memories and found out that his uncle Chaocheng had said some time ago that he wanted to introduce him to a blind date.
Isn't this nonsense?
He is tall and handsome, and can fight tigers in the mountains and capture dragons in the sea.
Do you still need a blind date?
When Su Mingzhe came to Su Chao to start a family, only the aunt was at home.
"Auntie, my uncle is not at home?"
In his memory, although this super-successful uncle had not yet reached retirement age, he transferred his worker status to his younger son two years ago in order to find a wife for his younger son, and he himself was unemployed at home with nothing to do.
"Your uncle has gone to work as a helper in the willow weaving factory. Xiao Zhe, what's wrong with you?"
The aunt explained and was about to get a stool for Su Mingzhe and pour tea. Su Mingzhe quickly stopped the aunt who was about to work and explained:
"Aunt, I'm here to talk to uncle. A few days ago I heard that the college entrance examination has been resumed, so I thought about signing up for the college entrance examination first and putting off the blind date. If I really get into college, I'll be gone for four years, so I don't want to delay the girl any longer."
"What am I talking about?"
After hearing this, the aunt clapped her hands and said with a smile:
"Don't leave yet, kid. I've found your blind date. She's the daughter of my former colleague. Her mother has been dead for more than three years. I thought of her a few days ago and went to see her. She's really pretty. The matchmakers who came to her house to propose marriages broke down the doorstep. Her stepmother didn't want to see her family without a laborer, so she didn't marry her off. If you really want to go to college for four years, the girl is still young and can wait for you."
"Not too old? Then how old is she?"
Su Mingzhe listened to the aunt's words, and it was not because she said that the girl was pretty that he asked more questions, but he was just curious about the girl's age.
"That girl is fourteen years old, four years younger than you, but she's very tall, almost 1.7 meters tall."
The aunt tried her best to recommend the girl to Su Mingzhe, but Su Mingzhe rolled his eyes.
Only fourteen years old, isn’t that too young?
No wonder they say it’s okay to wait another four years.
However, a height of 1.7 meters...
Su Mingzhe sighed, thinking that since the aunt had told the other party about the blind date.
You should still respect the other person, meet him/her and explain clearly that you want to go to college.
The aunt also noticed Su Mingzhe's intention and couldn't help but laugh.
As Su Mingzhe's biological aunt, she would never harm Su Mingzhe.
In order to find a blind date for Su Mingzhe, the aunt even wore out a pair of shoes before she found such a girl with both good looks and height.
The most valuable thing is that I know the girl's family background, so it can't be considered a blind marriage.
Su Mingzhe and the aunt agreed to meet the girl in the next few days.
After returning home, Su Mingzhe left his incarnation behind and returned to Hong Kong in person.
I’m about to meet my blind date, so if I’m not attracted to him/her, then forget it.
If he likes someone, Su Mingzhe will always give the other person a token of love or something.
After returning to Hong Kong, Su Mingzhe first withdrew cash from the company's finance department before preparing to go out shopping.
The company's driver team leader saw Su Mingzhe coming to the garage to drive, and hurried over to ask with concern:
"Boss, the streets are in chaos right now, with gangs fighting for territory and horses everywhere. Do you want me to arrange a few people to follow you?"
"Then make arrangements."
Su Mingzhe was also stunned for a moment before he remembered.
With the departure of the four chief detectives and the four major families, a brief power vacuum appeared in Hong Kong's underground forces.
Subsequently, hundreds of gangs fought for territory, and every year tens of thousands of gangsters were killed.
Su Mingzhe is naturally not afraid of any club showing off their horses.
However, if you really encounter a club showing off their horses, you will have to expose your own abilities.
When the driver team leader saw that Su Mingzhe agreed to arrange a bodyguard, he quickly contacted the company's security department.
Five minutes later, under the protection of four cars in front and behind and twenty people, Su Mingzhe sat in a Rolls-Royce and left the company.
This was also the first time that Su Mingzhe went out shopping in this world.
When the car arrived at Jordan Road, Su Mingzhe pulled the car over.
He wanted to get out of the car and go to a store to choose a gift, so the bodyguards didn't need to follow him in.
"Boss, how about we just follow you?"
The team leader of the security team said nervously, "Boss, there are a lot of pickpockets on the streets here. If you are dressed like this, you will look like a well-off person. You will definitely be targeted by them."
"No need, you just watch here. I don't have any money on me, just a checkbook. If they really target me, they are blind."
Su Mingzhe joked, got out of the car, and walked towards a gold shop.
When giving a girl a token of love, gold and silver jewelry has always been the first choice.
Su Mingzhe picked for a while, selected a few, and then paid for them.
After going out, Su Mingzhe went into another clothing store.
There is no girl who doesn't like beautiful clothes.
The weather is quite cold now, and most of the clothing stores in Hong Kong sell autumn and winter styles.
As soon as Su Mingzhe entered, a long-legged saleswoman came out and greeted him crisply:
"Hello, boss. Welcome."
"Well, I'm buying clothes for my girlfriend, and she's about... um, pretty, how tall are you?"
Su Mingzhe suddenly remembered that he had never met his girlfriend.
The long-legged beauty was stunned, thinking that the handsome guy in front of her was teasing her, and she replied shyly:
"Boss, I'm 5.74 feet tall."
Su Mingzhe frowned and asked, "How about converting it into centimeters or metric centimeters?"
The long-legged beauty then realized that Su Mingzhe seemed to be really planning to buy clothes for his girlfriend. She felt a little sorry, because she had just thought that her sparrow was going to fly onto the tree and turn into a phoenix.
However, her good professional qualities helped her to quickly come to her senses and she replied, "175 cm."
"Then my girlfriend is slightly shorter than you."
Su Mingzhe stretched out his hand and gestured about five centimeters.
"So, boss, what kind of clothes do you want to buy for your girlfriend? A skirt, a top, or pants?"
The long-legged beauty explained delicately:
"If it's a top, I need to know your girlfriend's measurements. If it's pants, how long is your girlfriend's legs?"
Su Mingzhe was dumbfounded by the question from this beautiful woman and stood there in a daze for a moment.
Is it so difficult to buy clothes for women?
