Tao Liangchen
Chapter 90 Cat and Dog Show
Drowsy, he went downstairs. Originally planning to drive, he had to switch to a taxi instead.
Yin Liuli greeted him with a bright smile, having changed into a dark blue floral dress.
A Chanel lambskin bag adorned her waist, and a fisherman's hat sat atop her head. She looked fashionable, beautiful, and full of energy.
When the taxi arrived, the driver couldn't help but praise how well-matched they were.
Yin Liuli's Cantonese was terrible. Su Yehao didn't mind chatting with the driver for a few words while sitting listlessly in the back seat.
The sun was warm and comforting, and he just wanted to get a proper nap.
Perhaps due to a lack of funding, the cat and dog exhibition was held at the Desheng Gymnasium, next to Desheng Park.
The newly built sports venue had both outdoor and indoor sections.
The cat and dog exhibition, jointly organized by several pet companies in Hong Kong, was held in the indoor stadium, and many cars were parked on the street.
He bought an iced coffee first, the taste was so-so.
Only when he reached the entrance of the exhibition hall did he realize that he had to queue up to buy tickets to enter. A ticket cost fifty dollars, and the line was quite long.
The money didn't matter, the key was the need to queue.
There was no shade around, and it was a bit scorching.
For a so-called beauty, a good foundation is one aspect, but maintenance is also essential.
Take Yin Liuli, for example. She did yoga for half an hour every day, without fail, and she would exercise in the morning or evening, only eating until she was seventy or eighty percent full.
She took care of her skin before bed, applying body lotion everywhere, and would never go out in the hot sun unless absolutely necessary.
That's why her skin was fair and tender, and her figure was amazing.
Seeing her hiding next to him, Su Yehao simply told Yin Liuli to wait for him in the shade of a tree.
More than ten minutes later.
His shower was wasted, and he was sweating again.
Just as Su Yehao was buying tickets, he ran into his English teacher, Linda Yun.
"No wonder you're interested in this kind of exhibition. Did you make plans with a friend? Who is it, Jiang Yu? Nangong?"
"...It's another friend. I'm planning to start a business recently, opening a cat café. I need to buy a few cats."
"A cat café?"
"Yes, customers can look at the cats, and it's okay to pet them. I think there should be a market for it."
During their conversation.
Linda Yun followed Su Yehao's line of sight and saw Yin Liuli standing more than ten meters away.
She said cheerfully, "No wonder you're so absent-minded. Such a beautiful girl. Go on your date, I'll go inside. Don't worry, since you bought tickets for us, I'll keep it a secret from Jiang Yu next time I see her!"
"Um... if you see me later, just pretend you didn't, and I'll treat you to coffee!"
Su Yehao reminded her in a low voice.
He would be nineteen after his birthday at the end of July, and he didn't know why he was so nervous.
It was nothing more than exaggerating his age by three years in front of Yin Liuli during lunch.
In fact, his mental age was already very old, he was practically an old geezer.
Linda Yun didn't take the previous "love letter" seriously at all, and agreed generously. She waved her hand and went inside, as good-tempered as ever.
Su Yehao then took Yin Liuli to have their tickets checked and entered the venue, taking the initiative to explain:
"I ran into a friend just now and chatted for a few words. The weather is really hot, let's hurry up and buy the cats and go home."
Yin Liuli could still see Linda Yun. She glanced at her and smiled, "Yeah, she's very pretty."
"Yes, she has a good temper too. Many of my friends like her. She's a teacher at the school, teaching English."
Su Yehao gave a simple introduction, pretending to be calm.
His steady performance successfully prevented Yin Liuli from thinking too much. Her attention was quickly drawn to the kittens and puppies, and she happily started teasing a little teddy bear.
An exhibition organized by a group of cat and dog dealers.
As long as the price was right, even the breeding cats used for the exhibition could be sold.
After discussing it with Yin Liuli, they were worried that the kittens would be too fragile, so they directly selected cats that were at least four or five months old.
Good appearance and good bloodlines meant that the price would naturally increase.
They bought one Persian cat and one Garfield cat each, as well as two Ragdolls and one Munchkin cat.
That was almost enough.
But Yin Liuli really liked a chubby golden shaded cat that had a chance to win a championship. She couldn't take her eyes off it after seeing it, she was completely smitten.
Su Yehao simply bought it for thirty-five thousand dollars. It was said to be a breeding male imported from Russia, only six months old and weighing more than eight pounds.
Including various cat supplies, they spent more than two hours browsing, spending a total of one hundred and forty thousand dollars, far exceeding Su Yehao's expectations. He couldn't help but wonder how many cups of coffee he would have to sell to earn it back.
With cats, the main thing is to look at their appearance and bloodline. Since they chose the most beautiful ones, the price was of course not cheap.
One male and one female Ragdoll cat alone were worth sixty-eight thousand dollars.
Fortunately, these little guys all looked good, which would please customers, and maybe they would be able to retain repeat customers.
Having seen a lot of the world, Su Yehao no longer cared about this small expense. He still didn't want to waste money, but it was okay to buy things...
During the visit, Linda Yun ran into Su Yehao several times, but she really didn't greet him specifically, she just nodded and smiled.
The shop hadn't been completely renovated yet, so the cats they just bought were temporarily boarded at a pet shop.
The biased Yin Liuli only took away the fat golden shaded breeding male and would keep it in her apartment for the time being. She would play with the chubby cat to pass the time when she was bored.
After leaving the cat and dog exhibition.
The two discussed finding a few more female cats to breed with the breeding male, in an effort to earn back the money they spent on buying cats. This was also profit.
The opening of the small building was one step closer.
...
The next day, Sunday.
He met up with Baoya Jun, Nangong Tian, and others, and set off from the pier early in the morning to the newly opened racetrack in Hong Kong.
They took He Shaofan's yacht.
A twenty-three-meter-long Italian Riva yacht, with the words "He's Group" written on the hull.
Although it was several times smaller than the "Sihai International," it wasn't cheap and was also faster. This brand was known as the Rolls-Royce of yachts, with exquisite craftsmanship and a long history.
On the way, faced with He Shaofan's provocation to go out to sea and race, Su Yehao was speechless and could only say that life was really different.
Thinking back to before he left the house this morning.
For some reason, Su Yehao always felt that his father was acting strangely.
He seemed a little melancholy, and in that melancholy, there was a hint of embarrassment.
He also specifically reminded him not to learn bad habits, to be low-key and conduct himself with integrity... and not to be obsessed with beauty.
This once made Su Yehao couldn't help but wonder if he had run into other acquaintances again yesterday afternoon when he accompanied Yin Liuli to buy cats, and they had secretly told his father.
There were still people gathered in front of the Sihai International headquarters, calls were still coming in one after another, and the first batch of letters had already been delivered to the company.
Thinking that he might be busy next week, Su Yehao simply stopped thinking about it and took advantage of the opportunity to go out to sea and enjoy a short trip with his friends.
Nangong Tian had arranged everything in advance and prepared a modified GTR.
Not drifting, but just enjoying the feeling of acceleration on short stretches was already very enjoyable...
At the same time.
In the Casino, 1997 Sihai International Hotel.
A middle-aged man surnamed Chu was pacing back and forth with a straight face, frowning as he pondered a problem.
He was a major shareholder of Yinhai Software Company. The WPS office software, in which he had invested a lot of money for research and development, had abysmal sales, and the company's situation was already very dangerous.
For the past half month, they had been in talks with venture capital firms in Hong Kong, but no one was willing to pay attention to them.
In the field of office software, fighting with the rising star Microsoft was tantamount to courting death.
Powerlessly sitting down in a chair, the middle-aged man asked his secretary, "Has Sihai International replied yet?"
"...Not yet, Mr. Chu. I've been there, and there are many people who want to get investment from them."
"Alas, there's no other way. I'll go there myself tomorrow. Ask around and find out where Mr. Su likes to go."
The secretary knew that the boss was worried and replied seriously:
"I've already asked the hotel staff, and they all told me that it's easiest to find him at the Liren Huangting Club..."
