"I already told you, the Su family's matters have nothing to do with me anymore."
"I naturally have no other ideas."
Yu Zhou rolled his eyes at his brother-in-law. Did he expect him to go back on his word on something like this?
He did covet some of the Su family's businesses, especially some factories in the food industry. But would those factories truly fall into his hands?
Words spoken were like water spilled, and since Yu Zhou felt he didn't have the ability to take over the Su family's assets, he naturally wouldn't get involved anymore.
"No, no, no! If you can't swallow it, it doesn't mean I can't!"
"The Lin family will swallow half of the Su family's assets. Then, based on that half, I'll give you another half."
"Of course, you'll have to pay for this. If you don't have the money for now, you can put it with me, and buy it back at the original price when you have the funds!"
"You are the wronged party in this matter. If you don't take anything, how can others take anything?"
"What do you think I'm saying, Mr. Song? Mr. Qin?"
Lin Haichao looked at his brother-in-law with amusement. If Yu Zhou truly didn't take anything, then this cake would inevitably be divided by those Jiangbei families.
Of course, once Yu Zhou received some amount, the Lin family, Qin Siyue, and the Song family would have a reason to start dividing the cake.
These few families had contributed the most and were present at the scene, so they naturally deserved the largest share.
Even if Lin Haichao were to acquire half, Qin Siyue and the Song family could at least get thirty percent.
The remaining twenty percent would flow into the market.
If Yu Zhou didn't want anything, wouldn't Song Qing and Qin Siyue be helping for free? This was not Lin Haichao's style!
"Alright, I'll listen to you!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Zhou finally understood. He had never been exposed to how these families divided the spoils before, so he naturally didn't know how they operated.
However, since his brother-in-law had said so, and they weren't directly taking over the Su family's assets as before, he supposed it was fine.
Regardless, if it wasn't for Qin Siyue and Song Qing this time, he wouldn't have been able to handle this matter so smoothly.
Lin Haichao alone was imposing, but he was from the capital.
While the Su family might have compromised at that time, making them leave Jiangbei wouldn't have been easy.
The saying "a dragon cannot suppress a local snake" might not always be entirely true, but it sometimes held water.
"Then I thank you in advance, Old Yu!"
Song Qing chuckled. She had initially helped out of goodwill but hadn't expected Yu Zhou to actually be able to drive the Su family out of Jiangbei at such a crucial moment.
Now, in this situation, a large portion of the cake would naturally fall into her lap. This help was not in vain.
"After we get back, don't mention some of these matters here. I'm afraid Mom and Dad, and your wife, might not be able to handle it!"
"Focus on developing [Three Horses] well from now on! Your current strategy and positioning can already foresee an unimaginable level of growth for Three Horses!"
Lin Haichao continued to discuss matters concerning Yu Zhou's factories in the car.
While orders from Runhua Group could help Yu Zhou grow rapidly, they weren't a panacea.
To fully develop Three Horses into a well-known company throughout the province, or even the country, it still needed to open up more retail channels.
Of course, in his opinion, Yu Zhou had already laid a solid foundation for the company. The complete breakthrough of 'Tiger Head Melon Seeds' was only a matter of time.
Previously, Lin Haichao hadn't expected his brother-in-law to possess such terrifying strategic vision and business acumen.
It even made him want to introduce some of his family members to Yu Zhou for cooperation.
Unfortunately, Yu Zhou wouldn't agree for now.
Relying entirely on the Lin family was not the best choice, and it might end up making him a pawn for the Lin family.
He could unreservedly ask his brother-in-law for help and to handle difficult matters.
But he couldn't ask the Lin family for help without any reservations.
Lin Haichao understood this principle too, so although he was tempted, he didn't bring it up directly.
Upon returning home, Yu Zhou shared the good news of resolving the matter with his family, which naturally led to another round of cheers.
In the following period, other than the Su family beginning to auction off their assets and then disappearing from the scene, nothing else significant happened in Jiangbei.
With the help of prime-time advertisements and sponsorships, the [Three Horses] company and 'Tiger Head Melon Seeds' gradually became a household brand throughout Zhongnan Province.
A period of explosive growth kept Yu Zhou extremely busy.
He was expanding factory facilities and continuously hiring staff.
Just half a year later, the [Three Horses] company had over two thousand employees under its wing.
This number was something Yu Zhou himself hadn't anticipated before.
He had expected the company to experience rapid, almost explosive, growth after its establishment.
But he hadn't imagined that this so-called explosive growth would be so terrifying.
In just half a year, it had grown from a small factory that had just started hiring to a large factory comparable to the peak of the Second Textile Factory.
"This valuation? Are you kidding me?"
Half a year later, Yu Zhou already possessed a considerable leadership presence.
He sat in his office in the newly built building, looking at the report with some astonishment.
The [Three Horses] company was about to undertake a major move.
And this move, according to Yu Zhou's prediction, would require introducing new capital.
Previously, he was unwilling to sell shares or seek financing because he wanted to maintain control.
But after half a year of development, the entire Three Horses company had entered a fast lane, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a major factory in Jiangbei City.
Naturally, no one could threaten his position as the boss who had developed [Three Horses] to this extent.
However, even so, after he had ordered a valuation of the entire company,
The report from his assistant, Tang Long, still startled Yu Zhou.
Good heavens, if it was this valuable, why not just cash out now and then participate in the reform of the electronics factory, entering the electronics industry many years earlier?
"Mr. Yu, this valuation is considered conservative, especially considering our newly developed product that is about to be included."
"Even if it hasn't been launched yet, once this new product rolls off the line, it's bound to cause a frenzy!"
"So, a valuation of forty million is really not much!"
Tang Long spoke truthfully, but Yu Zhou still felt a headache listening to him.
Forty million? That was forty million.
Even with his shareholding, he would only get twenty million.
But with that twenty million, wouldn't it be more appealing to open an electronics factory and enter the industry earlier?
