I've always known that the Zhao family had two daughters.

However, Su Yehao didn't remember what Zhao Yimeng's younger sister looked like, and he hadn't seen her in over half a year.

The so-called "spend 500 million Hong Kong dollars to give away a younger sister" was obviously just a joke. After confirming that he really wanted to buy the land, Zhao Yimeng hung up the phone and quickly began preparing the contract, clearly not wanting to give Su Yehao a cooling-off period to reconsider.

Just over two hundred million Hong Kong dollars. Buying land definitely wouldn't be a loss, so Su Yehao didn't hesitate and made his decision.

If investing in internet businesses was a high-risk, high-reward venture, then investing in real estate was undoubtedly a stable option.

Securities-based assets combined with real estate; after the latter appreciates in value, it's easy to use it as collateral for loans to continue investing in securities.

As long as the two are balanced, it's possible to win both ways and make steady progress.

Su Yehao wasn't sure whether the giants that rose to prominence in his previous life would still succeed with his intervention, but the appreciation of real estate was almost a certainty.

According to the logic of the butterfly effect, perhaps a trivial matter could eventually have a far-reaching impact.

For example, Apple's Steve Jobs might, due to some accident, inadvertently lead Apple down a different path, starting to develop the software industry, or even directly changing careers to sell game consoles; similar accidents were all possible.

With a solid family background and constantly increasing personal assets, it was both reasonable and appropriate for Su Yehao to focus on the stable real estate sector in order to mitigate risks.

In addition, he had spent so many years working on construction sites in his previous life that he developed a mysterious obsession with real estate over time.

He would instinctively pay extra attention whenever he heard about low-priced real estate and land.

Courtyard houses in Si Jiucheng (Beijing), over a hundred apartments in Pengcheng (Shenzhen), office building land in Hu Shi (Shanghai), a top-floor luxury house on the hillside with excellent feng shui, a villa in Da Lang Wan, and now a piece of residential land on Taipa Island in Casino was about to be added. Su Yehao never thought he had too much, only regretting that he didn't have enough money to buy the entire Lujiazui area.

Although he no longer lacked money, the joy of making money had never faded, but instead grew stronger...

He drove to the top-floor apartment with excellent feng shui.

When Su Yehao entered, Nong Qingying had just woken up, hadn't had time to put on makeup, and was wearing a black silk nightgown.

He leaned against the bathroom doorframe and smiled, "I haven't seen you in half a month. Did you miss me?"

"Miss you for what? Just because I miss you, you'll immediately appear in front of me? This little grandma is looking for a wealthy husband. When I meet a handsome, rich guy, I'll dump you and run away immediately!"

Nong Qingying finished washing her face as she spoke and glared at Su Yehao.

She was undoubtedly speaking in anger.

Su Yehao, knowing he was in the wrong, regretted bringing it up and immediately changed the subject, saying, "By the way, have you checked Yahoo's stock price? It closed above sixty-five US dollars last night in the US stock market."

Mentioning this, Nong Qingying's interest was piqued in an instant, her eyes shining as she asked, "Really? Doesn't that mean I've made another few million?"

"I called the broker on the way here. It's indeed over sixty-five dollars. In the internet industry, it's a case of the big fish eating the small fish. The larger the giant, the easier it is to seize the market. Yahoo's stock price is about to break four billion US dollars. The future is limitless."

Walking behind her, Su Yehao added, "Since you're so happy, how about going back to sleep?"

"Sleep your head! Do you think this is a hotel? You can come whenever you want?"

Pretending not to hear this, Su Yehao had already raised his arm and put it around her slender waist...

——————————————

He arrived at the top-floor apartment around eight o'clock.

By the time Nong Qingying brushed her teeth and washed her face again, it was already eleven o'clock in the morning. Her stomach was growling with hunger, and while complaining about Su Yehao, she suggested going for Thai food.

On the way out, they passed by the shops she had rented out, which were the same ones that had previously housed the Pilates club.

The sign had been changed.

Su Yehao asked and found out that she had finally successfully sublet it, recouping 350,000 Hong Kong dollars, which was considered making use of waste and recovering a small fortune.

Having known each other for over half a year, their relationship was relatively stable. Even after not seeing each other for ten days or half a month, they were still familiar when they met.

He drove the Ferrari convertible that he had given Nong Qingying for Christmas all the way to Yau Tsim Mong.

Not long after.

In a private room at a Thai restaurant, the table was filled with tom yum soup, curry shrimp, curry chicken, Thai fried rice noodles, and more.

Having spent the morning together, they finally had the mood to chat leisurely.

Nong Qingying remembered something and told Su Yehao:

"Souhu, which you asked me to contact last time, its founder has come back to me. He called me last night, saying he's willing to sell it to you for six million RMB. He sounded drunk, so I don't know if he was serious. I didn't rush to contact you, in case I messed up your plans."

Pretending not to notice the subtle implications in her words, Su Yehao said with an unchanged expression:

"If he had agreed last time, I would have been very happy and taken it without hesitation. But now... I could still buy it, but the portal website my own team is developing should be ready to launch soon, so I don't feel the need to spend the money."

Nong Qingying's mind was mainly on the food. While enjoying the grilled prawns, she mumbled, "So are you buying it or not? After hearing you say so much, it sounds like you haven't said anything."

"Let me think about it. I'm still hesitating. I don't know enough about Souhu. I only saw people using it at the R&D center in Pengcheng. I'll do some research later and give you an answer."

The reason for Su Yehao's hesitation was simply whether it was necessary to get on someone else's bandwagon.

In terms of technology, he had the advantage. In terms of user resources and capital, he still had the advantage.

If he chose to acquire Souhu's predecessor, "Souhu," it would certainly serve to stifle a competitor, but without Souhu, there might be "Soumao" (Search Cat), "Souzhu" (Search Pig), and so on in the future.

The market was there, and someone would always take a share of it.

As for the idea of ​​financing, it was nipped in the bud by Su Yehao as soon as it arose.

By the time his portal website was launched, the two would be competitors. There was no reason to personally nurture a strong enemy, even if that enemy might be quite valuable.

Nong Qingying, not taking it to heart, nodded and continued to fill her stomach. She had expended a lot of energy earlier, so she could let loose and eat more at this meal, looking content.

Su Yehao suddenly said:

"I want to focus on my business and see if I can succeed on my own. Otherwise, why don't you finance Souhu? Portal websites should be popular for a decade or so, and the development prospects are definitely there. I don't want to personally support a competitor, but I have no problem with you taking this money to earn. "

"So kind?"

"When have I ever tricked you?"

Hearing this.

Nong Qingying immediately nodded: "That's right, there's no reason to trick me, but since it's a competitor, I'll just invest in you, right? Do you want me to be in Cao Ying but my heart is in Han, and help you bring it down?"

"... Either I succeed, and I can subsidize you, or you succeed, so you won't miss out on the opportunity to make money, or both succeed, and we make a fortune together. We have a lot of chips. There's no need to bet on one. Diversifying our investments gives us a better chance of winning."

Su Yehao didn't really mind accepting her investment early on. After all, she was practically family. If they did business together, their relationship might become even closer.

Advising Nong Qingying to invest in Souhu was really just a spur-of-the-moment idea, for the fun of it.

Nong Qingying listened, seeming to understand, and said, "Investing in it is no problem, but I don't have any money. Six million RMB. Unless I sell my shares, I can't get it out in a short time."

"I'll help you raise it. You don't need six million. Who will manage it if you acquire it? It's best to get financing and try to get the founder to work for you."

Su Yehao never lacked investment opportunities. He was eating the meat himself and didn't mind letting others have some soup.

They finalized the matter in a few words. After the meal, they went to tAt Network Company together to learn about the latest developments...
