Tao Liangchen
Chapter 600 Clearance pdQ
Sitting in his old man's bulletproof Cadillac, he arrived near the Ruins of St. Paul's.
Yin Liuli, who hadn't been very active lately, had come to wait for him by the roadside. Unexpectedly, she saw Su Yehao's father was also there. She quickly put on a smile, greeted him, and called him "Uncle."
Su's father had long been aware of Yin Liuli's existence.
After all, they were father and son. Since he, as the father, hadn't set a good example, he was too ashamed to criticize his son. He nodded lazily, grunted "Mm," and stayed in the car without moving, heading back to Dragon Villa first.
As they walked toward the small building, Yin Liuli felt a little uneasy. She finally couldn't help but indirectly ask, "Ah Hao, your father seemed to be in a bad mood just now?"
Su Yehao smiled and explained, "Don't mind him. I provoked him on the way, so he's probably depressed. It definitely has nothing to do with you."
"Provoked him? How?"
Seeing Yin Liuli's interest, Su Yehao briefly recounted the issue of the Sihai International Group's shares to her.
Then, with a smile in his tone, he said:
"Although everyone says they hope their son becomes a dragon, I've been earning more money than my old man lately. He doesn't say it, but he must feel awkward inside. He's probably feeling a bit defeated. Not only that, but my mom holds more shares in Sihai International than him, so he's probably lost some confidence. He can't maintain his position as the head of the family."
Yin Liuli thought for a moment and said helplessly:
"As people get older, they become more sensitive, which is why people often say they become like old children. Your family is already super nice to you, so you should be even nicer to them usually."
"Don't worry, my old man is a big shot. He'll be fine after a night's sleep. He's still young. My grandpa is more like an old child. I don't really want the shares of Sihai International. I don't have the extra energy to manage them. Compared to my side, my mom's attitude probably has a bigger impact on him. He's always hoping to get back together, but my mom clearly doesn't think so. She's keeping the accounts too clear, obviously drawing a line."
Su Yehao recalled that he hadn't had many chances to spend time with his old man lately. He was now considering finding a reason to have a family meal and see if there was an opportunity to help his father.
The so-called family, of course, didn't include the second wife, to avoid his mother getting jealous and making things even more difficult.
Su Yehao had always suspected that the fact that he didn't have any younger siblings was related to his father's guilt. He might have had a vasectomy long ago, completely cutting off the concubines' chances of gaining status through their children.
Considering his mother's strong personality, plus the fact that the Earl Medical Group mainly runs hospitals, there might be some truth to it.
However, these were just Su Yehao's own wild guesses. The old stories were long gone, and there was no need to bring them up again.
In any case, with the wealth he currently controls under his name, he no longer needs to be as calculating and scheming as other big families...
He accompanied Yin Liuli to the KOKO restaurant's private room for dinner.
Wellington steak with Portuguese port wine, plus chocolate dessert, made for a decent meal to save Yin Liuli from having to cook at home.
During the meal, Su Yehao received a call from Zhuang Wei's assistant.
She told him that they had reached a cooperation agreement with China Unicom, and they would be selling their inventory of more than 200,000 Qualcomm pdQ phones to them at a price equivalent to $300 per unit.
This meant that once the deal was completed, Su Yehao would be able to cash out more than $60 million.
Previously, the market retail price of Qualcomm pdQ had reached more than $600 in the European and American markets. Looking at the scale of the inventory, one could understand how dismal the sales were.
With the acquisition of Qualcomm's mobile phone production business, Su Yehao had also taken over this batch of inventory while holding his nose.
Since he was selling it off to China Unicom and asking them to help clear the inventory, there would inevitably be price cuts and promotions, which was equivalent to selling at a loss.
Including tariffs, profits, and so on, China Unicom would likely sell it to the public for around 4,000 RMB, which, compared to Motorola and Nokia, which were generally priced between 2,000 and 3,000 RMB, had no advantage except for the gimmick of built-in mobile internet.
Therefore, Su Yehao did not choose to find a way to retail this batch of inventory machines himself.
Instead, he took a different approach, using his connections in Pengcheng to get in touch with China Unicom, which could be considered a preliminary acquaintance, making it easier to continue cooperation in the future and promote the Black Diamond mobile phone that was being prepared.
At this moment.
Su Yehao hung up the phone and sighed:
"Now I have to make and receive an average of twenty calls a day. It's getting harder and harder to have a quiet meal. Sometimes I worry about unexpected situations in the business in the United States, and I don't even dare to put my phone on silent at night."
Seemingly complaining, he was actually making excuses for not seeing Yin Liuli more often.
Yin Liuli's personality was particularly gentle. After listening, she didn't think much and comforted him with a smile:
"It's actually quite good to have a full life every day. I'm often idle now. Last week, I went to a welfare home under Fochuan and saw your company's billboards on the roadside. I spent a few days with the children, bought them clothes and stationery, and finally donated 300,000 RMB."
"You have nothing to do... is it because the charitable funds are not enough? It seems that the total budget for the first half of the year is 10 million Hong Kong dollars, which is a bit small, mainly because I have a lot of projects that burn money here. I'll give you another 10 or 20 million Hong Kong dollars in the second half of the year, and increase it year by year."
He usually spends a lot of money lavishly, such as the yacht he tendered and ordered when he went to Italy last time.
In Su Yehao's view, spending some money on charity is very meaningful.
However, charity is always a bottomless pit. If you directly donate one billion for pure charity, the effect may be worse than using the same amount of money to create a batch of jobs. This has the opportunity to form a virtuous circle, rather than a one-shot help.
For example, Sihai International's cement plants, tile factories, cultural tourism cities, etc. in the mainland currently provide jobs for thousands of people. Even if the purpose is to make money, it indirectly helps many families.
With the promotion of the real estate marketization in the north, migrant workers have begun to work in the city, and some people who were laid off in the past two years have also been re-employed, and the unemployment rate has improved.
The charity business of the family charity trust fund has been transferred to Yin Liuli. After listening, she shook her head and said:
"I'm not asking you for money. Although those welfare homes are not very well-off, the government also provides basic living security. Next time, I want to go to more impoverished welfare homes, further inland."
"You make your own decisions, but be sure to bring more people, and don't take safety lightly. It's best to contact the relevant departments first and find some locals to help coordinate."
Su Yehao smiled, changed the subject and said:
"You can pick some places with good scenery and relax by the way. When I find a chance next time, I will go with you."
"I know, I've always been very curious about the scenery of the Loess Plateau, why don't we go there?" Yin Liuli suggested.
"No problem, whatever you like..."
