Chapter 118
Seeing that Lin Hao agreed to her request, Gu Jia felt relieved:
"I don't need your help, I can do it myself. If it doesn't work, I can sell the house!"
"It seems like you are taking advantage of me!" Lin Hao interrupted Gu Jia directly.
Lin Hao was very dissatisfied and felt that Gu Jia treated him as an outsider, so he said:
"Gu Jia, I think you are sick. Let me give you an injection to cure your illness!"
A month goes by in a blink of an eye.
That day, Lin Haozheng brought Zhong Xiaoqin to a coffee shop, which was located opposite the residential area where she and Chen Yu used to live.
"Why did you bring me here?" Zhong Xiaoqin asked puzzledly.
She had lived here for so many years and recognized at a glance that this was the residential area where Chen Yu worked. She didn't understand why Lin Hao brought her here, after all, she had been divorced from Chen Yu for several months.
"Look!" Lin Hao picked up a glass of coffee comfortably and pointed his chin in the direction of the community.
Zhong Xiaoqin looked in the direction Lin Hao pointed and was immediately attracted by a figure.
I saw a beautiful and elegant woman helping Chen Yu move things downstairs from home. From the intimacy between the two, I knew that they had a special relationship.
Zhong Xiaoqin looked for a while and then looked away. Her expression was inexplicably fluctuating. She quickly picked up the coffee and took a sip.
"Hey!" Zhong Xiaoqin let out a long sigh, looked up at Lin Hao and asked, "What do you mean by bringing me here?"
Zhong Xiaoqin looked very serious, not at all as cheerful and lively as usual, nor as cute as usual. Instead, she looked a little sentimental.
Lin Hao also looked at Zhong Xiaoqin and said:
"Chen Yu is about to leave this city. He has been transferred back to his hometown TV station to work. That woman is his lover. They are planning to get married next month. Aren't you going to say hello?"
"Haha! You're not afraid that I still have feelings for you!" He said as he stood up, looking eager to try.
“You’re really going!”
Seeing Lin Hao's nervous look, Zhong Xiaoqin laughed and sat back in her seat.
"You really do care about me!" After saying that, she leaned close to Lin Hao's ear and said, "I might be pregnant!"
"Poof!" The coffee he had just drunk was sprayed out. He didn't care about the strange looks from the people around him. He looked at Zhong Xiaoqin in surprise and asked quickly, "When did it happen?"
"I found out with a pregnancy test this morning, but I haven't had time to see a doctor yet~!"
"What are you waiting for? Come with me to the hospital for a check-up. You should have told me this morning!" Upon learning that he was pregnant again, Lin Hao happily took Zhong Xiaoqin to the hospital.
Zhong Xiaoqin pursed her lips and said aggrievedly:
"I haven't even had time to say anything yet, and you've dragged me here!"
Originally, Lin Hao wanted Zhong Xiaoqin to come here and take a look so that she could completely give up. After all, a marriage that has lasted for several years cannot be completely resolved just by a divorce certificate.
He had read the original plot and knew that Chen Yu was not a bad person, so he didn't intend to torture him to death.
So Lin Hao made a plan. He used his connections to temporarily transfer Chen Yu back to the TV station in his hometown, and then had someone guide him to fall in love with that woman. Then Chen Yu would return to Shanghai.
As a result, when the plan was about to be completed, I found out that Zhong Xiaoqin was pregnant, so there was no need to make any further arrangements and we could only wait for things to happen naturally.
Now Chen Yu and others are no longer in Lin Hao’s consideration, and soon Lin Hao brings Zhong Xiaoqin to the hospital.
After examination and confirmation, it was found that Zhong Xiaoqin was 50 days pregnant. Zhong Xiaoqin jumped for joy when she knew it. Lin Hao quickly held down the overly excited Zhong Xiaoqin, for fear of hurting the baby.
Afterwards, Lin Hao brought Zhong Xiaoqin back to Grand Hyatt Residence, only to find that Zhao Jingyu had already returned from Hong Kong.
Lin Hao couldn't take care of Zhao Jingyu for the time being, and told all the girls the news of Zhong Xiaoqin's pregnancy. For a time, Zhong Xiaoqin became the object of everyone's envy.
Especially since Wang Manni had not made any movement, she became even more worried, and Zhao Jingyu also looked at Lin Hao eagerly.
Afterwards, Lin Hao consulted a gynecologist and hired a professional nurse to ensure that the baby in Zhong Xiaoqin's belly was born safely.
After a busy period, Zhong Xiaoqin was finally settled.
Lin Hao and Zhao Jingyu hadn't seen each other for more than a month, so he naturally spent time alone with her at night.
Afterwards (I won’t write about the process because you won’t be able to see it even if I did), late at night, the bedroom was quiet. After taking a shower, Zhao Jingyu stood by the window and admired the beautiful river view.
Lin Hao came out of the bathroom and walked to the window. He hugged Zhao Jingyu in his arms and asked:
"How's Liang Zhenxian doing?"
Zhao Jingyu leaned her head on Lin Hao's chest, smiled slightly and said:
"Leung Chun-yin is completely ruined. Ever since I lured him into a gambling addiction, he has squandered his last assets. He also owes a lot of money to loan sharks and the gangs in Mi Lijian. There is basically no hope for him to turn things around in this life."
After knowing that Liang Zhenxian was no longer a threat, Lin Hao asked again:
"So how is the business in Hong Kong going? Can I still take over and continue running it?"
"I already have Liang Zhenxian's former business partners and personal connections, so I can continue to run my previous business, but I still plan to move the headquarters to Shanghai," said Zhao Jingyu.
As she spoke, Zhao Jingyu's little hands moved around Lin Hao's body like an ant climbing a tree.
"Actually, there is no need to move here. It will be easier to do business if the head office stays in Hong Kong!" Lin Hao slapped away the little hand that was doing evil to him.
"This way I can be closer to you!" Then he slowly moved closer to Lin Hao: "I want a child too!"
"I am very happy today, just as you wish!"
The next day.
Lin Hao came to the jewelry company and found the company's CEO Yang Li.
Yang Li placed the silver ingots and silver bars on the table and said:
"Director Lin, according to your request, we made this silver ingot. Each ingot weighs 50 grams and costs 180 yuan. Do you think it's okay?"
Lin Hao picked up the silver ingot and examined it. The ingot was the size of a thumb, with a Chinese character "Fu" in the middle, surrounded by a circle of cloud patterns, and "one ounce of pure silver" printed on the bottom. It looked very beautiful overall.
Lin Hao put down the ingots and picked up the silver bar. It looked like a smart phone, but it was shrunk many times and weighed 500 grams each.
After seeing these two silver products, Lin Hao was very satisfied: "Not bad, prepare 50 10-gram ingots and 500 10-gram silver bars for me, which are worth 1.98 million. Add 200 million ingots to make up 2 million in silver."
Yang Li was a little surprised when she heard this. She didn't understand why Lin Hao prepared so much silver. However, it had nothing to do with her. She just had to do whatever the boss told her to do. As a subordinate, there was no need to delve into the reasons.
"Okay, Mr. Lin, do you have any time requirements?"
Lin Hao thought about the schedule and decided it wasn't that urgent, so he said:
"I won't set a hard time limit, just finish it within half a year!"
"No problem, more than enough time!"
In fact, the purchase of silver was part of the plan that had been made previously. Originally, Lin Hao was planning to leave after a while, so he asked Yang Li to make some gold ingots in case of emergency.
You know, the "Identity Card" compiled by Lin Hao when he traveled through time can use the wealth of other worlds for allocation when there is a need to match wealth, which can reduce the consumption of destiny points.
When Lin Hao first traveled to this world, he made a lot of money in the casino.
If I could travel to modern society in the future, it would be good because the money in this world would be enough for me.
However, some time ago, Lin Hao thought that if he traveled to the ancient world, the currency of modern society would not be usable, so he came up with the idea of using precious metals as a reserve of wealth.
At the beginning, I thought of using gold, but considering that gold is too valuable in modern society, the ratio of gold to silver is about 1:110, while in ancient times it was about 1:10. Using gold as a reserve would be a big loss.
When you travel back to ancient society in the future, you can exchange silver for gold as a reserve, which will increase its value by more than ten times.
So Lin Hao asked Yang Li from the jewelry company to prepare silver ingots and silver bars for him.
Who knew that I would learn the news yesterday that Zhong Xiaoqin was pregnant. She had just gotten pregnant with my child, so I definitely couldn't leave at this time, so I could only postpone my return.
Lin Hao estimated that he would have to wait in this world for a long time, so he hurried home to accompany them.
Since he didn't know whether the world would continue to function after he was gone, Lin Hao secretly gave each of his women a guarantee.
After returning home, Lin Hao saw Gu Jia's sad face and knew that things at the tea factory were not going well, so he jokingly said:
"What's wrong? Your face is wrinkled like a bitter melon."
Gu Jia rolled her eyes at Lin Hao, sighed and said:
"It's still the tea factory's problem. It's too difficult to make a new brand of tea. People don't recognize our tea at all!"
Influenced by the TV series, Lin Hao had always overestimated Gu Jia's ability until she was framed by the wife and was at a loss after seeing the current situation of the tea factory.
At that time, Lin Hao knew that Gu Jia had been a full-time housewife for too long. She lacked experience in handling specific affairs and had lost her sensitivity to the market.
However, she has a good foundation and only needs to adapt for a period of time to return to her true nature as a strong woman. Therefore, the failure during this period can be regarded as a training for her.
He held Gu Jia in his arms and comforted her softly:
"This is not the Gu Jia I know. The Gu Jia I know is a strong woman who is intelligent, beautiful, generous, tenacious, and decisive!"
Hearing this, Gu Jia smiled unconsciously. Which woman doesn't like to hear compliments? Gu Jia is no exception:
"It's not as good as you say!"
Seeing that Gu Jia had recovered, Lin Hao asked:
"Tell me the details of the situation and where you are stuck. I will help you figure it out!"
Gu Jia's face straightened when she heard this, and she said seriously:
"I first looked in hotels, supermarkets, shopping malls, etc., but there was no news at all!"
"I later tried using an influencer, but the effect wasn't very good. It won't be effective unless you make a long-term and sustained investment!"
Lin Hao pondered for a moment and thought about the tea brands in the real world. He said that he couldn't learn from the traditional brands, but there were many things worth learning from new brands like Xiaoguan Tea.
So he said to Gu Jia: "I think there are two ways to go!"
“The first step is to find a professional team to take photos and edit videos of the entire tea production process, make a promotional video, and then find e-commerce partners and influencers to promote the product. It’s impossible for the brand to become a big hit, but it can solve the practical difficulties of the village.”
Secondly, we will ask top designers to design a set of packaging, and then turn the pure handmade workshop production into an advantage. Since the output of the tea garden is limited anyway, we will go the luxury customization route, invest in advertising in mainstream media, and then invite celebrities with good character to endorse our products.
Gu Jia's eyes widened when she heard this, and she asked in disbelief:
"The first route is understandable, but do you know how much money the second route will cost?"
Although Gu Jia is very interested in the second route, she knows that this path is not suitable for her.
"Then do you think I'm short of money?" Lin Hao said indifferently.
"Is that human language?" Gu Jia was speechless and turned away, not wanting to pay any attention to Lin Hao.
Lin Hao grabbed Gu Jia's shoulders, turned her body to face him, and said:
"Don't worry, I'm still here!"
"In fact, I think we can take the second path. I will continue to invest in the tea factory and make our Kongshan tea into high-end fine tea. How do you think?"
Gu Jia did not agree immediately. After all, she had always tried to get along with Lin Hao on an equal footing, mainly because she had many considerations, such as the problem of her son Xu Ziyan, whether Lin Hao could tolerate him, the child's future property issues and so on.
Therefore, she wanted to be like Zhao Jingyu, who was dependent on Lin Hao but was equal to Lin Hao financially, so that she would have the confidence to be with Lin Hao.
However, the thought of turning Kongshan tea into fine tea made her eager to try it. After thinking for a long time, Gu Jia said:
"You're right. The second path will bring greater returns. We can treat it as a big business. So you can invest, but I also want to invest. I want to invest with you because this is our common business."
In the end, Gu Jia insisted on selling her house and car. Since the housing prices happened to rise at that time, Gu Jia got a total of 2500 million yuan in funds. Together with the 2500 million yuan invested by Lin Hao, the two of them jointly invested 5000 million yuan in the tea factory.
Naturally, Gu Jia also moved into the 18th floor of Grand Hyatt Residence.
From then on, Lin Hao lived a happy life every day.
Gu Jia regrouped and followed Lin Hao's second plan, hiring designers to design the packaging, having the entire village hand-pick the tea, having mainstream media invest in advertising, and inviting celebrities to endorse the product.
Under the guidance of Lin Hao, advertisements were placed in several popular TV series and web series. Over a period of half a year, Kongshan Tea was gradually built into a new high-end tea brand.
With so much investment, the effect was of course very good. The tea was sold out directly. Afterwards, Gu Jia and Lin Hao discussed and decided to contract other parts of the village to continue planting tea trees and prepare to expand the scale of production.
