Despite having studied in Tianjin for four years in his previous life, Su Wu's familiarity with the city was only so-so.
To find a suitable place, we still need to rely on Erpi, the local bigwig.
The Fu Rui Restaurant was already nicely decorated, so there was no need to renovate it; it was ready to use right away.
Erpi proudly led Su Wu on an inspection of his restaurant, his face beaming with smugness.
"How about it, bro? This place is pretty good, isn't it?"
"Not bad, it seems my brother Erpi is going to make a name for himself in Tianjin."
Su Wu looked around jokingly, feeling that his future meals at university were settled.
It wasn't lunchtime yet, and after watching the show, the two men and a few of their underlings sat down on the first floor and chatted.
Su Wu pondered for a moment and said, "Erpi, you know Tianjin better than I do. Help me find a place, preferably one with a basement, and it should be quite spacious..."
"This isn't difficult, but are you planning to sell or rent it? And what do you want to do with it?" Erpi asked, somewhat puzzled.
“If the price is right, I’m willing to buy it. I studied computer science, and I’m planning to set up a studio to do programming,” Su Wu explained casually.
These days, anything related to computers falls into the category of high technology.
Erpi had no idea about these things, so he could only silently agree.
Changing the subject, he smirked and said, "You don't know, our Coca-Cola is quite popular in Tianjin now."
"Our current production capacity is simply not enough to meet demand. 100,000 bottles a day means a profit of over 100,000 yuan."
"Look how much money we've made this year! Thanks to you, I've really made something of myself. A lot of people have been asking me about us these days."
He spoke proudly of what had happened these past few days, and Su Wu listened with deep emotion.
Earning tens of thousands of yuan a day is definitely something to brag about in this day and age.
However, compared to his cheap father, a mine owner, he's far inferior.
Those mine owners, whether they own coal mines, gold mines, or iron mines, are the ones who truly make a fortune every day.
At their peak, these bosses could easily make millions a day.
However, the development prospects of Coca-Cola are definitely not comparable to those of mine owners.
If it can be successfully promoted nationwide and sales increase, the future profits will be immeasurable.
However, he also sensed that Erpi seemed to have something else in mind, and that he wasn't simply showing off.
Sure enough, Erpi lit a cigarette and said, "Recently, quite a few bosses have wanted to buy our beverage factory. I get contacted every day. It's so annoying."
Su Wu laughed and said, "It seems they have a good eye. Do you have any thoughts about selling it?"
"Sell my ass! They want to buy our beverage patent, not the factory." Erpi rolled his eyes.
"Oh, so you want to sell it?" Su Wu asked with a playful look in his eyes.
"Hmph, although I haven't had much schooling, I know what 'fundamentals' mean. How could I possibly sell them? But I'm worried..."
Erpi's words were pointed, clearly a reminder to Su Wu.
Su Wu nodded and said seriously, "Make the confidentiality agreement more rigorous. Once you acquire a few more factories, you can separate the extraction workshop."
"Yes, I've hired a professional lawyer. Anyone who dares to leak a single word will be jailed for life!" Erpi gritted his teeth.
Just as the two were having a pleasant conversation, a group of people suddenly walked in.
"Oh, Mr. Wang is here. What a coincidence."
"Hey, Mr. Liu, are you planning to come over for dinner?"
Upon hearing this, Erpi smiled and got up to greet him.
Su Wu looked in the direction of the sound and froze on the spot.
He stared at the group in disbelief, thinking to himself, "What a small world!"
He never imagined the world could be so small.
He actually spotted Su Jianren looking smug in the crowd.
Similarly, Su Jianren was also looking at him with a face full of astonishment, and there was even an undisguised excitement in his eyes.
"Su Wu! I've finally found you! I knew you'd be hiding in Tianjin!"
After a moment of stunned silence, Su Jianren shouted excitedly, his voice bordering on mania.
"Damn it, keep a close eye on him, don't let him get away."
He pointed at Su Wu and shouted at his followers behind him, acting like a bandit.
Erpi, who was greeting people enthusiastically, immediately changed his expression upon seeing this.
"What are you doing? Who dares to touch my brother?"
As soon as he spoke, the shop's underlings swarmed around him, each with an unfriendly expression.
At this moment, General Manager Liu, who had been all smiles, looked completely bewildered. He exclaimed, "What's going on? Everyone, don't be impulsive!"
Erpi stood beside Su Wu with a grim expression, pointing at Su Jianren and shouting.
"Liu Bin, what do you mean? You actually brought people here to cause trouble for my brother?"
Liu Bin looked back at Su Jianren with a puzzled expression, then cautiously glanced at a young man beside him.
"Young master, what's wrong with your friend...?"
The man had an arrogant look on his face and sneered, "He came to Tianjin looking for someone, and it seems he has found them."
Liu Bin nodded slightly and looked at Erpi.
He smiled and said, "Mr. Wang, this is Liu Xia, the son of our Chairman Liu. The one who spoke just now was his classmate from studying abroad. I think there might be some misunderstanding..."
Upon hearing this, Erpi looked at Su Wu with a questioning expression.
Su Wu sighed helplessly, "That person is my half-brother Su Jianren. What a small world!"
Erpi frowned upon hearing Su Wu mention his past.
No matter what, this is Su Wu's family matter, and he really shouldn't interfere.
Su Wu slowly stood up and said calmly, "Brother, did you come here specifically to see me?"
Su Jianren looked disdainful upon hearing this.
"Nonsense, you've changed your phone number, haven't you? Do you know you've gotten into trouble and are trying to hide?"
"Where could a college student like you hide? I still found you, wasting half a month of my time."
"You'd better come back with me now and don't look for me. Dad's very angry, and the consequences will be severe..."
Su Wu never expected that this guy would actually come all the way to Tianjin specifically to look for someone.
What frustrated him even more was that this guy had incredibly good luck; how could he have run into this?
As for why they wanted to see him, it's obvious even to someone with a brain: it's about the millions of dollars he has.
At this moment, a young man named Liu Xia patted Su Jianren on the shoulder.
"Jianren, is this your good-for-nothing brother who swindled you out of millions?"
"It's this kid, who tried to run away from home with me. Humph, he can run away but he can't hide."
Su Jianren snorted coldly, his face full of arrogance.
Liu Xia nodded and looked at Erpi.
"Mr. Wang, I came here to discuss some business with you, but I didn't expect to run into my friend's younger brother. This is a family matter..."
Upon hearing this, Erpi waved his hand to interrupt, "Su Wu is my brother. Whatever my brother says, I will do. I advise you not to get involved."
Liu Xia's expression turned somewhat unpleasant upon hearing this. Just as he was about to say something more, Su Wu spoke up.
"It's lunchtime, let's eat and chat. Su Jianren, when you're out in the world, I advise you to keep a low profile and not be so loud!"
