The freedom of work that Yu Mingyuan gave Su Tianyu, as well as the love he showed in his private life, were far beyond that of a normal boss, which made Su Tianyu a little unsure.
If this job relationship had nothing to do with the Su family, then Su Tianyu would definitely be able to wait patiently for Yu Mingyuan to reveal his true colors and make demands on him, but the situation is different now. Su Tianyu himself is just a bachelor. Although he has the ability, he has nowhere to show it in this company. He has too little value to use. Yu Mingyuan must be so good to him because of the Su family.
Su Tianyu must not be stupid enough to take the value of the Su family and eat and drink with Yu Mingyuan all day long. If he does so, he will owe a big favor and it will be difficult to repay it in the future.
In desperation, Su Tianyu thought of a countermeasure, which is to lie down completely.
If you don't take special care of me, then I will just pull the pole to climb up!
For five consecutive days, Su Tianyu was not only late for work and left early, but also absent from work frequently. He was also rarely in the company during the day. His phone was either turned off or no one answered it, so even Yu Mingyuan couldn't find him.
This really worked. Yu Mingyuan thought that Su Tianyu didn't want to work anymore and wanted to resign, so he sent him a text message, asking him to come to the company to discuss things the next day.
...
The next morning, Su Tianyu arrived at the company according to normal working hours and bared his teeth into Yu Mingyuan's office: "Brother Yuan."
"Haha, it's hard to see you." Yu Mingyuan glanced at him: "Come, sit down."
"Hey." Su Tianyu sat on the chair carelessly.
"What have you been busy with these days? Why don't I see you?" Yu Mingyuan asked softly while sitting at his desk.
"There's nothing to do in the company. I happened to have a few comrades back in Longcheng, and we had a party these days." Su Tianyu made up an excuse.
"Xiao Su, the company has just been established..." Yu Mingyuan still wanted to talk to Gou Liuzi in a very vague manner.
"Brother Yuan, I have been thinking about it these days. I am the only idle person in the whole company. I am really uncomfortable staying here. It just so happens that several of my comrades-in-arms came back and wanted to do something, so... otherwise, I will resign?" Su Tianyu said with embarrassment.
The two looked at each other, and Yu Mingyuan suddenly grinned: "Haha, are you playing tricks on me?"
"Brother Yuan, who is playing tricks on whom between us?!" Su Tianyu asked back.
Yu Mingyuan paused, pointed at Su Tianyu and said, "Hey, I wanted to talk to you after the company was stable, but you... are too impatient."
"It's not that I'm impatient, it's that you made me too insecure." Su Tianyu smiled and replied, "I thought you wanted to sleep with me."
"Hahaha!" Yu Mingyuan smiled and said, "You can't put down my gun with your physique."
"What's the reason? You have to tell me, so that I can serve you better!" Su Tianyu asked.
Yu Mingyuan picked up the teacup, pondered for a while and said: "Actually, I let you be the assistant to the general manager because I really saw your ability..."
"Come on, stop laying the groundwork. I just drink tea and sleep every day here, what ability can I show?" Su Tianyu waved his hand: "Let's talk about work directly."
Yu Mingyuan looked at Su Tianyu, suddenly opened the drawer of his desk, and took out two boxes of cigarettes from it: "Do you know it?"
"Yes, it's Dajiu cigarettes, an old brand in the old District 9." Su Tianyu asked back in confusion: "What's wrong?"
"Do you know how much this cigarette sells for a box in Longcheng?" Yu Mingyuan asked.
"It seems to be 11 yuan a box."
"Then do you know how much it sells in the Hua District?" Yu Mingyuan asked again.
"How can I know this? I haven't been to the Hua District since I can remember." Su Tianyu shook his head.
"It sells for 3.5 yuan in the Hua District."
"...!" Su Tianyu heard this and did not respond immediately.
Yu Mingyuan held the cigarette box and said softly: "For a pack of cigarettes that costs more than 50 yuan, the import tariff plus consumption tax and fixed tax will cost about 50% of the purchase price. In addition, after several layers of transportation, wholesale and retail, the cost of the cigarettes will be nearly three times higher than in China."
Su Tianyu listened quietly.
"The people of Longcheng are mostly Chinese, and many of our living habits cannot be changed, especially cigarettes and alcohol. We prefer the taste of our hometown." Yu Mingyuan continued patiently: "You also know that overseas cigarettes are mostly mixed, and we are used to smoking flue-cured tobacco. The same is true for alcohol. Here, foreign wine, red wine, and wine are the main ones, which are different from our taste."
Su Tianyu had already guessed what Yu Mingyuan was going to say next, and immediately asked: "The taste is different, just produce it yourself."
Yu Mingyuan looked at Su Tianyu, his eyes lit up: "You are really smart."
"Haha, don't praise me all the time." Su Tianyu said softly: "The land scale of Longcheng is not small. It should be no problem to produce it yourself and be self-sufficient, right?"
"Self-sufficiency is no problem, but taxation is a problem." Yu Mingyuan hit the point in one sentence: "Whether it is before the era or now, the import tax on tobacco and alcohol is very large, and our taste is very oriental, so the tax revenue generated by this kind of trade every year is far beyond your imagination. Let's not talk about now, look at the era before the era, which tobacco tax revenue was not trillions? It can be balanced with military expenditures! If you are self-sufficient, then the import tax on such products will not be available to Longcheng and District 1. Do you understand what I mean?"
Su Tianyu understood it at once: "I understand."
"Longcheng has its own tobacco company, but it is limited to official operations. This big cake is not accessible to us at our scale. But they are also doing a bad job, and their products are not good, so their competitiveness is very poor. At present, Longcheng's tobacco and alcohol are still mainly imported." Yu Mingyuan looked at Su Tianyu excitedly and whispered: "I have channels to purchase goods. Your Su family's dirty gangs are all over Zhanan, which can serve as footwork and sales. If you are willing, the goods come from the sea and disperse when they land. What kind of future do you think that will be?"
Su Tianyu blinked his eyes: "My second uncle is unlikely to be able to do this...!"
"Don't rush to judge." Yu Mingyuan looked down at his watch: "Well, you and I go out and meet a few people, and you will understand."
"Okay." Su Tianyu nodded.
...
About half an hour later, in a quiet teahouse in Zhannan District.
Yu Mingyuan sat in the main seat and waited for a while, then smiled and said to Su Tianyu: "You have an acquaintance, who will be here soon."
Su Tianyu was stunned for a moment, and immediately guessed who it was.
Sure enough, less than ten minutes later, the door of the box opened, and a familiar figure walked in.
