Chapter 1588 Lianli Happy Boat

"So fast?" Jiang Xueying said in shock, "I didn't expect that Brother Gao is such a master at playing the pig and eating the tiger!"

"Tell me quickly, what's the process?!" Mr. Zhao poked his head out from the study without caring about his image.

"He walked with me for two hours without saying a word. He walked 10,000 steps and I walked 18,000. My legs were so sore that I couldn't walk anymore, so I mustered up the courage to ask him what he wanted to do." Xiao Yun'er was still in a daze, muttering:

"He said, yes."

"Oh my god..." Master Zhao and Jiang Xueying were both stunned. Isn't this too direct?

"I was so scared at that time..." Xiao Yuner said in a crying voice, "It was such a cold day."

"Is this a question of whether it's cold or not?!" Jiang Xueying didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and then asked Xiao Yun'er anxiously, "Then what? Did he force himself on you?"

"No..." Xiao Yun'er shook her head and said, "Then he kept silent."

"That's him organizing his words. You know this guy, he's very frugal with words." Zhao Hao quickly explained on behalf of Brother Gao: "But once he opens his mouth, his words hit the mark, shocking everyone."

Xiao Yuner nodded in agreement and continued, "After a while, he suddenly said, I have liked you for a long time, can you be my... husband and wife?"

"Ah?" Jiang Xueying was also confused. What kind of magic trick was this? "And you agreed?"

"I wanted to refuse, but he was too scary. His eyebrows were erect and his beard was curled up. His eyes were as big as copper bells. The scar on his face was shining. I was afraid that he would kill me if I didn't agree..." Xiao Yun'er sobbed, "Then he set the wedding date on his own, and I didn't dare to say no."

"Hey, you are just scaring yourself. Brother Gao is such a kind person." Jiang Xueying smiled bitterly and said, "Don't be fooled by his fierce look. In fact, he is as pure as a child. How can a child have any bad intentions?"

"Well, I understand now." Xiao Yun'er nodded slightly.

"How do you know?" Jiang Xueying asked curiously.

"After he sent me back, he started running laps in the front yard with a big vat on his head..." Xiao Yuner almost couldn't hold back her laughter, "After running three laps, he started laughing... He laughed so hard that my hair stood on end, so I hurried in."

"Does what you promised still count?" Jiang Xueying asked anxiously.

As if Gao Wu's problem was contagious, Xiao Yun'er lowered her head and grunted for a long time before she said weakly:

"I dare not regret it..."

~~

As soon as the Lantern Festival was over, Zhao Hao's family was going to Beijing. It was the time for the spring exam, which was held once every three years, and Teacher Zhao had to go to give students pre-exam tutoring as usual.

Besides, grandpa and grandpa wanted grandchildren, and father-in-law wanted a daughter. Zhang Xiaojing was also past the dangerous period of pregnancy, so this time the whole family went out, no one was left out.

Lian Jiang Xueying also took time out of her busy schedule to go to Beijing to pay a visit to her father-in-law to prevent the old man from estrangement between her and Shixiang.

Before leaving, Zhao Hao gave Brother Gao a long vacation, asking him to strike while the iron is hot and complete the three matchmaking and six hiring procedures as soon as possible so that he could get rid of his identity as the old director as soon as possible.

As for Zhao Hao's safety, Gao Wu didn't have to worry too much. The guard team that was formed by the men of Caijia Lane has now expanded to a strong guard organization with six departments and nearly 5,000 personnel. It is well-organized, well-equipped, not afraid of sacrifice, loyal and reliable. It will all work without anyone.

On the 22nd day of the first lunar month, a large family of more than 200 women boarded the 800-ton luxury cruise ship "Encyclopedia" built by Lianli Company at the Pudong Wharf.

"Baike" is the courtesy name of Mr. Zhao, which was given to him by Zhao Gongming when he was 20 years old.

After the Chinese men have their coming-of-age ceremony at the age of 20, it is not convenient to call them by their given names. Therefore, teachers give them another name related to the meaning of their original name, called a courtesy name, to show their virtues. When others address them respectfully, they must call them by the courtesy name that shows their virtues, which is called a "biao zi".

Young Master Zhao had no teacher, so the task of giving him a name fell on his father's shoulders.

Hao represents the vast primordial energy and the flourishing of all things.

Therefore, Mr. Zhao first wanted to give him the name "Da Zhuang"... Zhao Hao almost died suddenly.

Master Zhao was ready to split the character "Hao" into two parts and give him the character "Yuetian", but Master Zhao once again firmly rejected it, saying that "Yuetian" was worse than "Ritian" and was too suicidal.

Zhao Shouzheng had no choice but to rack his brains and come up with another courtesy name, "Wanke". Wanke means everything is flourishing and science is everlasting.

Zhao Hao was helpless, luckily it wasn't Greentown, Greenland, or Country Garden...

He was tired and didn't want to waste any more words, so he said that ten thousand was too big, so he should just divide it by one hundred and call it "encyclopedia".

So he got a nickname called Encyclopedia... Encyclopedia is a general term for all knowledge in astronomy, geography, biology, medicine, architecture, etc. It fits his identity as the head of science.

However, given Mr. Zhao’s current status, almost no one calls him by his courtesy name. In the south, he is called “Gongzi”, while in Beijing he is called “Little Cabinet Minister”.

Lianli Company saw that it couldn't be wasted, wouldn't it be a waste of the father-in-law's hard work? So they named the luxurious ship they had spent a huge amount of money to customize from Longjiang Baochuan Factory "Encyclopedia".

The purpose of customizing the encyclopedia account is to facilitate their travel between the capital, Jiangnan, and Luzon.

According to Mr. Zhao's idea, he could just take Sister Huaixiu's Pingjiang when going out to sea. He was used to sleeping on the bed on that boat. If he felt it was too crowded, he could take the Liu Daxia, which was very spacious. There was no need to waste the money.

But he has no say in this matter, because the shareholders of Lianli Company are much richer than him.

Li Mingyue holds 25% of Xishan Group's shares.

Jiang Xueying owns 10% of Jiangnan Group and 36% of Wuji. Wuji owns 30% of Jiangnan Bank and 20% of Jiangnan Sugar...

Although the other three cannot compare with these two world-famous billionaires, they are also genuine wealthy women.

Zhang Xiaojing and Ma Xianglan each own 1% of Jiangnan Group's shares, which was Zhao Hao's personal shareholding outside of Singularity Company, and was divided equally between them after marriage.

In addition, Sister Ma also owns 5% of Jiangnan Media Group.

In addition to Zhang Xiaojing receiving 5% of the shares of Jiangnan Publishing Group, Zhao Hao also transferred 5% of the shares of Shanxi Company to her.

Nine years ago, that bunch of old guys followed Zhao Hao's example and set up a Shanxi company to trade coal in Shanxi. For this purpose, they gave half of the shares to the then emerging Mr. Zhao and asked him to be a senior consultant.

But Lao Xier was very stingy. He would try to dig out water from a hole. In the first few years, he said he was losing money and couldn't distribute dividends. Later, the two sides started to have conflicts, and there was no dividend at all.

In short, Zhao Hao didn't get a penny of bonus, and they even gave him a meal of honeycomb coal for free. Although he didn't correct the Tai line for them, Mr. Zhao still felt that he had lost a lot when he thought about it.

After getting married, he wrote to Yang Sihe, the chairman of the Shanxi company, informing him that he wanted to transfer the 5% of the shares to his wife. He also provided Zhang Xiaojing's seal and asked him to handle it on his behalf...

At that time, Gao Gong had a natural hand, and everyone thought he could kill Zhang Juzheng in a minute. So Yang Sihe made excuses, saying that according to the charter, the change of equity required the consent of all shareholders... In short, he didn't want to have anything to do with Mr. Zhang.

Who would have thought that Gao Gong would fall from power soon? Zhang Xianggong became the chief minister of the cabinet in a blink of an eye, and he was very close to the Imperial Household Department and the Queen Mother...

Yang Sihe immediately changed his attitude 540 degrees, personally transferred the account to Zhang Xiaojing, and sent a deposit certificate of 500,000 taels of silver, saying that it was the dividend accumulated over the past few years. However, the young cabinet minister was always forgetful and never gave them a seal, so they could not open an account, but the money was kept by the company.

Not only did I not lose a cent, but I was also given an annual interest rate of 2%, and the interest is compounded there.

As for Qiaoqiao, Zhao Hao transferred all his shares in Weijixian and Xiaocangshan Management Group to her.

~~

According to the rules of that era, the family should not be divided so early. But Mr. Zhao's situation was special. He had five wives, and all five of them were principal wives.

The economic base determines the superstructure. Since she is a lady, she must have enough money in her hands so as not to be controlled by others and be inferior to others.

Zhao Hao had no right to dispose of the dowries brought by Jiang Xueying and Li Mingyue, so he could only use his own property to arm the other three. Fortunately, Mingyue and Xueying looked down on them... Oh no, they were upright and would not seek company. Otherwise, all of Mr. Zhao's property except for Qidian Investment would probably be lost.

So, they say, 'It feels good for a while, but you will shed tears later'!

Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in this world, and Mr. Zhao can only suffer the consequences of his own actions, and he has created the Lianli Company, which can be said to be the "richest in the world".

With the financial resources of Lianli Company, it would be no problem to build a few more large ships, one for each family. But now the group is focusing on building ships, and the ladies have to be more aware of this, so they only built this 2,600-ton Baike ship.

Also, because only one ship was being built, the ladies naturally demanded perfection from material selection to decoration.

Because the Baike is a passenger ship, it does not use a Western-style hull, but adopts the same treasure ship style as the Liu Daxia. This is safer and more comfortable, with more living space for the crew, and Longjiang Treasure Ship Factory is the best at building this.

The whole body of the ship is made of precious teak purchased from Southeast Asia. Not only is the bottom of the ship equipped with a copper shell, but all the hardware such as nails and bolts on the ship are also made of brass instead of cast iron. This can prevent rust, but in fact it is mainly because rich women think that the former looks strange and shiny.

The railings, handrails, door frames and stairs on the ship are also meticulously carved and equipped with gilded brass ornaments. With the wine-red hull and white sails, it looks like a magnificent floating palace.

The cabin was even more luxurious, with luxurious Persian carpets on the floor. All the furnishings were extremely exquisite. Even each suite was equipped with a large round bathtub and a very elastic 10-foot-long bed.

"Rich ladies really know how to enjoy themselves..."

Mr. Zhao lay comfortably in the bathtub, soaking in a kidney-tonifying and aphrodisiac bath of polygonatum, white chrysanthemum and black wolfberry. Sister Ma played the piano for him, Li Mingyue gave him a massage, he drank the Zhibao Baibian wine poured by Xueying, and ate the deer antler glue porridge carefully prepared by Qiaoqiao.

Xiao Jing was pregnant, so she just talked but did nothing. She sat aside and told jokes while driving... She had been at sea for more than three years and had heard and seen a lot of jokes, which aroused Mr. Zhao's blood.

At first, Zhao Hao felt that he enjoyed it, but gradually he felt something was wrong. He suddenly realized that he seemed to be one of the rich women's enjoyments... belonging to the category of multiple sex toys.

“Help…”

A pair of claws, some as white as snow and frost, some as soft as boneless, stretched out towards him. The screams of Master Zhao echoed through the frosted carved glass windows on the stern deck.
