Chapter 159 The Reason for Betraying My Brother
In the temple courtyard, several tall ginkgo trees stand quietly, the sun shines through the mottled branches and leaves, casting tiny shadows. The ginkgo leaves on the branches have been dyed golden by the autumn, and a slightly stronger autumn breeze blows by, and the ginkgo leaves flutter down.
The stone paths of the temple and the corners of the courtyard are all covered with ginkgo leaves. Monks in plain robes shuttle through this golden world. Their figures are intertwined with the fallen ginkgo leaves, forming a quiet and peaceful picture.
Such a scene attracted Qiao Junxian, and he kept taking pictures.
"Let's go worship the Buddha." Yue Ning, a businessman, wants to worship the Buddha whenever he sees him, hoping for good fortune.
"We have a rule in our family that we will not defeat the Japanese gods and Buddhas." Qiao Junxian whispered to her.
Yue Ning knew that Japanese shrines were not allowed to be worshipped, but who knew what was enshrined there? But weren't the objects enshrined in temples all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas?
“This is a temple.”
Qiao Junxian pulled Yue Ning aside and whispered, "In the later stages of the war, when supplies were scarce, the Japanese government asked temples to donate their bells to be used as artillery. Most temples donated their bells at the time, including the bell of Todaiji Temple in Nara, one of the three largest bells in Japan. The artillery made from these bells was used on battlefields in China and Southeast Asia. After the war, the bells were recast, and much of the copper used was collected from shell casings and scrap artillery on the Korean battlefield. The bells were made into weapons of aggression, and the weapons of aggression were made back into bells. Every strike is the wail of the wronged souls in the flames of war."
Yue Ning thought he had read a lot of history, but this part was still incomplete.
Qiao Junxian said: "In order to let us know history, my grandfather and my great uncle asked an expert in the history of World War II to compile a family textbook for us."
"No more."
"Go back to Gangcheng to worship, Bodhisattva and Buddha will know about it." said Qiao Junxian.
"Um."
Yue Ning originally thought that the temple was quite artistic, but after Qiao Junxian's explanation, he completely lost interest in it. He quickly walked around and said that he wanted to go back because he was tired as he had been out early in the morning.
Back at the hotel, the two walked past Qiao Junshen and Cui Huiyi's door. Yue Ning knocked on the door slyly and said in English, "Room service."
Like a kid who had done something bad secretly, she ran to her door, took out her key and was about to open it when she saw Cui Huiyi open the door and stick her head out.
"Sister. Is it ready?" Yue Ning asked.
"Come here, both of you, and let's discuss what to do next?" Cui Huiyi said.
"ah?"
Yue Ning and Qiao Junxian went to their brother and sister's room together. Yue Ning saw that there were still some dishes on the table that had not been cleared away: "Brother and sister, you are too lazy to even come out of the door?"
Cui Huiyi felt guilty: "What's going on in your little girl's mind all day? I watched your live broadcast at noon and discovered a huge business opportunity. I've been calling Gangcheng to arrange things..."
When Qiao Junshen heard the doorbell, he stood up and opened the door. The waiter brought a fruit plate and drinks.
Yue Ning knew her sister was making excuses, so she followed her sister's words and said, "I was wrong. You are a career woman. How could you possibly be obsessed with your brother's beauty?"
Qiao Junshen came over and gave Yue Ning a slap on the face, and gave her a glass of juice: "Don't talk nonsense."
Yue Ning drank juice and continued to listen to Cui Huiyi's strategy. Good wine needs no bush. It is only suitable for small businesses, just like the pig's trotter noodle shop next to Baohua Building. The old neighbors all know that it is delicious and has good business. If you want to expand your business, marketing is very important. Strike while the iron is hot to enter the target market and grab market share. In the Internet war in the previous life, how powerful were the platform subsidies to grab customers? My sister's direction is correct.
As Qiao Junxian listened, he wondered why it was him again?
He asked, "Brother, can you ask your cousin to tell PN that as long as they can hype up Ning Ning, I will shoot a commercial for PN?"
"Let's do it!" Yue Ning said before Qiao Junshen could speak, "We are also engaged in home appliances. The market will not be optimistic about home appliance brands in Hong Kong at the beginning. You can either invite celebrities to shoot commercials for you, but celebrities' main job is acting. No matter how good their image is, it will not completely fit the image of your product. What I am creating now is the image of a lively and lovely sister with excellent craftsmanship. What about you? Anyway, you have been the most ideal son in the hearts of housewives since you were a child. Now this child has grown up and become a warm and lovely young man. The consumer group of your rice cooker and your electric fan is this group of housewives. What you need to create is a brand that is close to the people and warm. When we get married, you have to show your husbandliness."
"What is the feeling of being married?" Cui Huiyi asked.
"It's the feeling of an ideal husband in a woman's heart. He is steady, has enough sense of security, can bring warmth to people, and is approachable enough. Plus, you are excellent yourself. Just for this good impression, many people will pay for him." Yue Ning said to Qiao Junxian.
Ningning has said this, Junxian must be willing. Qiao Junshen didn't want to waste the words he had been thinking about, so he said it all at once: "Junxian! Ningning knows marketing, what about your family? Grandma is in the food business, and mom is in the department store business. They have told you how to do marketing, but these are just their experiences. You are the agent of that German brand yourself, so you also have some experience, after all, that brand is just a small family brand. PN is a large Japanese conglomerate, you can take this opportunity to talk more with the marketing people in PN and learn how large companies do marketing."
When Qiao Junxian heard this, he remained silent. Qiao Junshen, who had originally thought that he would definitely agree, suddenly became uncertain.
Qiao Junshen sat down next to him and hooked his arm around him: "Junxian, let's go to the yard. Brother will have a good chat with you."
When the two brothers arrived at the yard, Qiao Junshen said to his brother, "I promised you, Sister Huiyi, that I will definitely ask you for help."
Qiao Junxian shook his head: "Are you really shooting a commercial?"
"The horse that arrives at the port next month will be yours." Qiao Junshen said gritting his teeth.
There are only a few import licenses issued by Hong Kong every year, and you either have to be rich to get one or you have to draw lots to get one. His brother waited for more than a year before he got the one. The horse was selected by his brother in the UK. Isn't this a big investment?
"When the time comes, let Ningning go with you to receive the award." Qiao Junshen further seduced his brother.
Qiao Junxian looked at his brother and said, "I'm not interested in horse racing. You can just take Ningning and me to watch it. I don't understand why you insist on asking me to take pictures."
Qiao Junxian is very curious now.
The naughty brother is so old now, but he is still the same as when he was little, insisting on getting to the bottom of things. Qiao Junshen said, "Your sister Huiyi said that she will be very busy and wants to sleep in a separate room from me. I didn't agree, so I suggested to her that she let PN deal with the Japanese TV stations, and you shoot commercials for PN."
"Brother! You..." Qiao Junxian really didn't expect that his brother was such a person. He lowered his head and smiled: "Sleep in separate rooms if you want, you are really something."
Qiao Junshen was laughed at by his brother, and he became angry and said, "You are inexperienced and don't understand."
"elder brother……"
"Go and take a picture! Do you hear me?" Qiao Junshen displayed his brotherly authority.
The problem is that for this kind of thing, this majesty is really... Qiao Junxian nodded: "I understand."
The two brothers went in, Cui Huiyi looked at them, and Qiao Junshen said, "Junxian agreed."
Cui Huiyi immediately turned around and rushed to the phone to call Cai Zhiyuan. She spoke at an astonishing speed: "Cai Zhiyuan, hurry up! Strike while the iron is hot, talk to PN right away and tell them that Qiao Junxian agreed."
Cai Zhiyuan laughed loudly on the phone: "Cui Huiyi, are you guys bullying my stupid cousin?"
"What are you talking about? Among the three of us, one is his biological brother, I am his sister who has taken care of him for several years, and the other is his future wife. How could we possibly bully him?"
When Qiao Junxian heard Cui Huiyi say this, he immediately snatched the phone: "Cousin, they all bullied me."
"Add me in as well. I'm going to talk to the PN people myself. I'll have to watch the entire news tonight." Cai Zhiyuan said.
Everyone in the room bullied him, and another person bullied him along the telephone line.
Qiao Junxian: "Wait!"
"What?" Cai Zhiyuan asked.
"Tell the people at PN that I can shoot an ad for them. I've tried out a new model these days, but I haven't developed the film yet. I don't know if the image quality is really that good, and I don't know if it will always be that stable. I hope the product I promote will be worthy of the people who are willing to buy it after seeing my ad. I have a request. I want to visit their factory and see their production line."
Japanese companies have developed rapidly in recent years, and PN is a Japanese home appliance giant.
When Qiao Junxian was studying in the United States, he heard his professor highly praise Japan's manufacturing industry. When he took them to visit a car factory in Detroit, the professor said that compared with Japan's car industry, the US auto industry had high costs and low efficiency.
He has always wanted to visit the factories of large Japanese companies. Even though he is just starting out and cannot possibly achieve the same management style as others, at least he can broaden his horizons.
Cai Zhiyuan said: "I will go and talk."
Qiao Junxian hung up the phone, and Qiao Junshen slapped him on the shoulder: "You had thought about this when you heard Ningning say that just now, right? Are you deliberately refusing to agree?"
Qiao Junxian looked at his brother: "Brother wants to sell me, so I must want to know why brother wants to sell me, right? But I didn't expect that brother would actually... Never mind, is this human nature?"
"You little brat! You cheated your brother!"
Their riddle aroused Yue Ning's curiosity. She quickly hugged Qiao Junxian's arm and asked, "Why did my brother sell you out?"
Qiao Junxian looked at Cui Huiyi. Cui Huiyi realized that Qiao Junshen, the bastard, had told her brother something. Then she was really embarrassed.
Seeing that Cui Huiyi was about to explode, Qiao Junshen anxiously winked at Qiao Junxian.
Yue Ning was innocent and unaware of what was happening. She pulled Qiao Junxian aside and asked, "Why is that?"
"That's what you call the feeling of being a husband. My brother thinks he is my sister's boyfriend, so of course he has to give my sister a feeling of safety and reliability." Qiao Junxian raised his eyebrows and said.
Qiao Junshen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it’s okay!
