Old Xu led the two to the self-built house. When they arrived in the courtyard, they saw Han Fei leisurely drinking tea, with Xiao Wu and Xiao Qi clinging to him at his feet.
"Grandpa, don't move, I'm taking a picture of you!"
"Grandpa, hold Xiaoqi in your arms and let Fifth Brother take pictures for us!"
"Okay, we'll take the photos after the guests leave."
"Guests?" The two adorable children turned to look at the doorway and indeed saw strangers.
Xiao Qi was a little shy and hid behind Han Fei. Xiao Wu took Xiao Qi's hand and said confidently, "Grandpa, I'm taking my little sister back to the house to play. You two are busy."
Han Fei raised an eyebrow. Don't let Xiao Wu's usual toughness fool you; he's quite reliable when it matters.
After the two children returned to the house, Han Fei gestured for the boss and his wife to sit down.
He brewed two cups of tea, pushed them in front of the two men, and said with certainty, "This should be the busiest time for the steamed bun shop. Why are you two here instead of doing business in the shop? Has the shop been forced to close?"
The boss sighed, "Old Master Han, you're incredibly insightful. You knew this would happen, didn't you?"
"I guessed it would be like this, but I didn't expect it to happen so quickly. Tell me, before this, have there been any special customers in the store?"
"A special guest?" the boss wondered.
The proprietress said with a bitter face, "Sir, aren't all the customers in our shop your old customers?"
The shop owner suddenly slapped his forehead: "I remember now! A foreigner came into the shop!"
The proprietress asked in confusion, "A foreigner?"
"You went to the restroom then, and I was the one who served you. I even communicated with him in English. It finally came in handy that I learned English back in school!"
"And you still have the nerve to show off!" the proprietress snapped. "The shop's been shut down!"
The shop owner lowered his head, but kept excitedly babbling on: "That foreigner said he came because he'd heard there was a really good breakfast cart here, but he went and was very disappointed. He'd almost given up hope when an old man who'd finished exercising in the park told him that the breakfast cart at the park entrance was a fake, and the real delicious steamed buns were at the baozi shop. That old man was the former sprinter who bought all 200 of our steamed buns and twisted rolls on the first day. He's a very enthusiastic guy; he's the one who brought him to the shop. And let me tell you, the old man's English is fluent, even better than mine!"
Han Fei narrowed his eyes: Here they come, the fake young master's overseas partner!
A while ago, he was harassed by the park manager. He said he was going out for a walk to digest his food, but actually he was following the park manager off work. He ended up following him to a villa and saw a fish on the doorplate. The family's surname was Yu.
Later, when his eldest grandson came back, he used drawing software on the computer to draw. He saw that the fish on the screen were roughly the same as the fish in front of the villa.
Only after asking did I learn that the reason for drawing the fish was that the eldest grandson saw a fish-shaped birthmark on the teacher he rented a place with. Since the teacher's birthday was coming up, he wanted to design a pendant and have it custom-made as a gift for the teacher.
In the book, the real young master returns because of a birthmark similar to his father's and grandfather's. Later, DNA testing confirms his identity. By this time, the fake young master has become successful and no longer cares about the meager resources of the Yu family. In reality, he can't compete with the already accomplished real young master, so he leaves voluntarily.
The fake young master did not give up using the Yu family's connections, because most of the Yu family's relatives were in politics or the military, and his business development would not be possible without their protection.
After graduating, the fake young master spent some time in a daze. At his workplace, he met an overseas investor who came to expand the Chinese market. At that time, he had two secret recipes, one for dumplings and one for steamed buns. It seemed that he obtained them through improper means, which led to the other party's family being ruined.
He used two secret recipes to partner with overseas investors, found a factory in China to produce frozen dumplings and frozen buns, and exported them overseas.
Frozen dumplings and steamed buns are household names in China and seem like ordinary things, but they have become rare items overseas and the business is booming!
After making his first fortune, he used the money to buy a factory and create his frozen food brand, subsequently launching many new products. The origins of these recipes were all questionable, yet he managed to get his business listed on the stock exchange.
The reason the book records his story in detail is that he will deal with Xiao Laoliu in the future, and in the end... he will be completely swallowed up by Xiao Laoliu, this financial tycoon, leaving not even a bone fragment!
When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. In addition, he obtained the secret recipe through dishonest means, causing many families to be ruined and many people to die. He had many irreconcilable enemies. Without money to hire bodyguards, he was murdered not long after. His body was dumped in the wilderness and torn apart by wild dogs.
"Do you know who that foreigner met after meeting you?"
The boss frowned and recalled: "He seemed to want to go for a walk. The old man who was a former sprinter volunteered to be his tour guide, saying he would take him for a walk in the park and then take him to see the lotus flowers. He said that three days here was not enough. He talked a lot. Oh right, he mentioned that there is a lantern festival in a couple of days, and he wanted to take him to see the monkey lanterns!"
"There will be a lantern festival tonight," Old Xu said.
Han Fei narrowed his eyes: "Let's go to the lantern festival tonight. Maybe if we run into that foreigner, we'll find the answer."
"What about us?" The boss and his wife looked at Han Fei pitifully.
Han Fei thought for a moment and said, "You guys go back to the shop and wait. I think someone will be contacting you to cooperate soon."
"cooperate?"
"I'm looking for you to resell the property."
"Oh? That won't do! Old man, we signed a contract with you. If we resell the property, we'll have to pay ten times the amount in compensation! Ten times 100,000 is a million!"
Han Fei smiled enigmatically: "If the other party is willing to offer more than a million, will you sell?"
The boss was taken aback, his face shifting like a palette of colors, and he swallowed hard: "Old man, I dare not!"
If I hadn't met this old man today, I wouldn't have known how prophetic he was; perhaps he really would have dared to do it!
Now that his steamed bun shop has been shut down, he has paid 100,000 of his 120,000 savings, leaving him with only 20,000. It will be difficult for him to make a comeback. He is desperate and has nowhere to turn. If someone offers him an olive branch, he will definitely grab it like a lifeline.
He will sell if the other party can offer 1.1 million.
He gave the old man one million as compensation, and one hundred thousand was his principal. He didn't expect to make a profit; he would sell as long as he didn't lose his principal.
"Sell it." Han Fei took a sip of tea, his eyes deep and unfathomable.
The shopkeeper clutched his chest: "Old man, you're being sarcastic, aren't you? I really don't dare sell it."
"Sell it, ask for more money, and we'll split the profits later."
"ah?"
"What I mean is, as long as he's willing to pay, we're willing to take the money! But whether the prescription is genuine or not is hard to say!"
The boss realized what was going on and his eyes lit up: "Does the old man mean to give him a fake formula and rip him off?"
