Chapter 201: Young Man's Success
Mrs. Qin started to advise, "Son, if it really doesn't work, then let's not chase after it. Although your company isn't as big as his now, who can guarantee what the future holds?"
Qin Hao nodded, "Mm, I understand, Mom. I can handle this matter."
Mrs. Qin didn't say anything else and returned to her room.
Qin Hao looked at his silent father, knowing he was blaming himself.
He spoke up, "Dad, I will work hard. I'll go with you to Grandma's house at the end of the year. By then, no one will look down on us."
Mr. Qin's face broke into a smile, "Mm, good. I, Qin Youguo, have a great son."
"Dad, don't think too much. Go to sleep early."
...
October 5th
In the morning, after breakfast, Mrs. Qin said to him, "Xiao Hao, if you're free today, take Xiao Ying for a stroll around Jiangshan."
Qin Hao nodded, "Mm, got it Mom."
He had plans to go out anyway.
He and Li Moying went downstairs, and Qin Hao said to her, "I'll stop by the office first, then I'll take you around Jiangshan."
"Mm-hmm," Li Moying nodded.
Qin Hao drove to the office; most people were off, so there weren't many there today.
Kang Youyi was at the company, and Qin Hao went straight to him.
"Hao, what brought you here? Aren't you resting?" Kang Youyi was somewhat surprised.
Qin Hao asked, "Youyi, are you familiar with the distilleries? Do you know how many distilleries we have in Jiangshan?"
Kang Youyi replied, "Distilleries? Dayuan Group's distillery is the biggest; I'm not sure about the others. Hao, why are you asking about this?"
Qin Hao said, "Have someone investigate; I plan to acquire a distillery."
Kang Youyi looked stunned, "Acquire a distillery? Hao, you're not planning to compete with Dayuan Group, are you?"
Qin Hao responded, "Does Dayuan Group really think I, Qin Hao, am a pushover? I want them to know the consequences of offending me."
"Hao, we still have to acquire a few more duck farms, and the roasted duck shops need to expand. We don't have that much capital," Kang Youyi said softly.
Qin Hao reassured, "Don't worry about the funds, I have it. If the company needs more, you can also let me know."
Kang Youyi replied, "Hao, the funds we have should be enough. Growing step by step, we can also keep up with the management; taking too big a step could lead to trouble."
...
Qin Hao broke out in a cold sweat. "You're the vice president of the company, try to watch your language from now on."
Kang Youyi chuckled, "Rough words, solid logic. Hao, I'd feel bad taking that one percent incentive stock option if you keep injecting more capital into the company."
He owned one percent of the shares, which made him a shareholder of the company.
If the major shareholder was putting in more money, he, as a shareholder, would have to contribute according to his one percent share, or his shares would be diluted.
This was also one of the methods many big companies used to push out small shareholders.
Of course, if a small shareholder was very wealthy, then it would be a lost cause since they held fewer shares, their monetary contribution was also less.
Qin Hao responded, "Youyi, don't say that. I actually think I've given you too few shares."
Youyi responded, "Not at all, Hao. With our company valued at several hundred million, my net worth has jumped by millions. I couldn't have even dreamt of being a millionaire before."
Qin Hao replied, "I heard from Yu Jie that you haven't taken a salary yet. From now on, I'm having her give you fifty thousand a month for living expenses. This won't include dividends; just use it as you like. Also, a car, I've had Yu Jie arrange one for you."
"Thank you, Hao. I was just about to talk to you about this, as I've been feeling a bit tight on funds," Kang Youyi said, somewhat embarrassed.
Qin Hao instructed, "Remember to check out the thing I told you about. I've got to go, I have other business."
"Mm, okay, Hao. Oh, and I wanted to discuss something else with you," Kang Youyi added.
Qin Hao stopped and turned around. "What is it?"
Kang Youyi suggested, "I think we should launch some new products, just having roasted duck is too one-dimensional."
Qin Hao was momentarily startled, but a reminder from the fatty made him remember that he still had duck wings, duck necks, duck heads, and the skills of duck farm production.
However, he had previously thought of adopting the De Juxiang model.
Opening a restaurant selling roasted duck, along with some other dishes!
But now, the development of Jiangshan Roasted Duck had clearly surpassed his original trajectory.
Just selling roasted duck alone had already reached a monthly profit of ten million, which was terrifying.
He wasn't a rigid thinker, sometimes plans couldn't keep up with changes.
Even if he opened a roasted duck restaurant now, the profits might not necessarily surpass those of the present.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Regarding the matter of new products, let me think about it, and I will give you an answer in a few days."
Kang Youyi said, "Hao, should we also set up an R&D department? Innovation is the key to sustained development, after all. If a company's products can't keep up with trends, they will be eliminated."
Qin Hao looked at him somewhat surprised, "Oh, fatty, I now find that you've become much stronger than before."
Kang Youyi chuckled, "In order not to hold back your pace, I keep up with my studies every day."
"Hmm, keep it up, otherwise one day I might really replace you. I've got some other matters to attend to right now, so I'll head off first."
...
After leaving the company, Qin Hao took Li Moying out to have fun.
Joy Valley and two other historical sites.
In Kun City, the capital of Shuinan Province.
Du Wanrou had accompanied her father to several business banquets these past few days. She didn't want to go originally, but Du Hongfeng insisted on bringing her along.
Since Du Hongfeng only had this one daughter, the company would definitely be left to her in the future, and he wanted to cultivate her properly.
That morning, Du Hongfeng was working in the office at the headquarters in Kun City.
His email received a message from a stranger.
He opened it and immediately froze.
There were several photos of a man and a woman standing close together, looking at the ground.
He felt the man looked somewhat familiar.
Upon closer inspection, he frowned: Qin Hao?
Below the pictures was a line of text: Mr. Du, your daughter is already with Qin Hao, but Qin Hao as a person is not all that great. Yesterday, he took a beautiful woman to Ying County and they were very intimate.
My daughter is with Qin Hao?
His pupils contracted at this sentence.
Then he got up and left the office, driving straight back to his home in Kun City.
In the living room, Feng Yun and Du Wanrou were sitting together chatting.
Seeing Du Hongfeng return with a gloomy face, the mother and daughter curiously looked at him.
"What's wrong?" Feng Yun asked.
Without a word, Du Hongfeng looked at Du Wanrou and asked, "Are you together with that Qin Hao?"
Du Wanrou was taken aback. How did her father know?
Could it have been her aunt?
But she had told her aunt not to tell her parents yet.
Seeing his daughter's reaction, Du Hongfeng had already gotten his answer, and his expression was very embarrassed: "You know very well what kind of person he is. Why are you still with him?"

Knowing it wasn't the time to be silent, Du Wanrou spoke, "Dad, you might have misunderstood him. He is actually quite decent. My aunt has met him too, and she is now working at his branch office in Jianghai City."
"How could Xiangyi be working at his company?" Feng Yun said in surprise.
Turning to speak, Du Hongfeng said, "You know his background. Just a few days ago, in broad daylight, he broke both legs of the son of the Dayuan Group's chairman Ma Bing. He's arrogant from young success; such a person will not end well in the future. Do you think you'll have a future with him?"
