"No matter how good it is outside, you have to go home after all."

At Cao Shujie's house in the north end of Caojiazhuang, looking at the brother and sister who had packed their luggage and were about to leave, Cao Shujie told them.

Cao Yirui didn't listen at all.

It had only been half a year since he went to college and was freed from the control of his parents. It was when he looked around that he felt that everywhere he went was new, and the key was that no one was caring about him. This was the life he wanted.

But Cao Xuemeng is different.

Although the experience was still short, she came back and had a long talk with her father, Cao Shujie, and her thoughts had changed unknowingly.

Inadvertently, Cao Xuemeng also realized that her father had not been easy in these years.

After graduating from university, she stayed in the capital directly and did not follow her father's wishes to come back and work in Xuemeng Food Factory. To a certain extent, Cao Xuemeng was also rebellious at that time and did not want to follow her father's arrangement and embark on that path early.

road.

Even now Cao Xuemeng still has the idea of ​​letting herself go.

But Cao Shujie came over and said in a low voice but with no way to refute: "Mengmeng, I allow you to start a business outside for another two years, whether it is a loss or a profit, unless the scale of your company can catch up with Xuemeng Food Factory in the future.

Otherwise, you come back, work in the company according to my arrangement, get familiar with the work, and then continue to develop the Xuemeng Food Factory when you are suitable."

"Dad, you asked me to take care of the factory, so why are you going?"

"Besides, you said before that you would hand over the factory to my sister." Cao Xuemeng reminded her father not to take what he said as fart.

"Ha ha!"

Cao Shujie didn't care at all. He was thick-skinned: "I was just talking casually. Besides, your sister is only two years old now. When she reaches your age, I will be over seventy years old. I won't be able to keep my head clear by then."

Even so, what can she understand?"

At this point, Cao Shujie suddenly said: "Mengmeng, if you don't want to come to Xuemeng Food Factory, then in 10 years, when I retire, I will disband Xuemeng Food Factory, and your mother and I will find a quiet place."

A place where we can spend the rest of our lives.”

Cao Xuemeng thought her father was joking, but seeing the serious expression on her father's face, Cao Xuemeng suddenly felt panicked: "Is my dad serious? Or are you joking?"

If it were true, that would be the end of it.

Instilled by Cao Shujie's words over the years, Cao Xuemeng had the idea of ​​inheriting the Xuemeng Food Factory since she was a child. Moreover, the factory was named after her.

What will happen if we are disbanded?

"Don't you still have my brother?" Cao Xuemeng asked his father.

Cao Shujie looked at his son, who looked like he was on stimulants because he was about to return to the capital. His IQ was indeed not low, and he could see things accurately, but his heart was not strong enough and he was often more likely to be swayed and judged at critical moments.

Being too smart and not having the ability to control this intelligence is a taboo. He shook his head: "His two moves were in vain."

"..."

Cao Xuemeng thought to herself: "I believe you are a ghost."

Cao Xuemeng always felt that her father was coaxing her.

But it was getting late today, so Cao Xuemeng said goodbye to her grandparents, grandma and grandpa. Finally, she looked at her mother, Cheng Xiaolin, and the mother and daughter hugged each other goodbye.

At this time, Cheng Xiaolin was just like her mother and mother-in-law when they watched them leave home and prepare to go to the capital. She looked at her daughter with blurred eyes, but she didn't cry at all.

It's just that Cheng Xiaolin's mood was agitated and extremely complicated.

But Cheng Xiaolin didn't say anything to persuade her to stay, which was meaningless.

Wu Shangying drove and took Cao Xuemeng and Cao Yirui away.

Guan Shuangxia was sitting in the passenger seat. She would switch driving with Wu Shangying later. The distance was not short, so the two of them drove alternately and did not feel tired.

This trip went back relatively early. Cao Xuemeng went back to be busy with the opening of the Three Musketeers Design Studio.

Cao Yirui couldn't stay at home. He always felt that his mother wanted to talk to him about finding a daughter-in-law during college.

Cao Yirui admitted that his mother was indeed very tolerant of him in this regard, and repeatedly said that she could help him take care of the children. However, Cao Yirui felt that if he found a partner to marry at such a young age, less than 20 years old, wouldn't he be left to his family for the rest of his life?

Trapped?

"No, no, I still want to see the beauty of the world." Cao Yirui felt that it would be too much of a disadvantage.

…

Without looking at the car that had already driven away, Cao Shujie carried his daughter home with his wife, parents, and parents-in-law, and told his parents-in-law to stay in Caojiazhuang for a few more days.

The old couple Cheng Rengui and Li Xiaojuan have nothing else to do now. In addition, the children's theme park and orchard in Caojiazhuang are closed, so there is no need to go out and set up stalls at this time.

Because of this, they are very free now. The son-in-law asked them to stay for a few days. The two of them discussed it and could spend some time with their granddaughter.

The older they get, the more they want to see their children.

When returning home, Cao Shujie passed by the kennel and saw Xiao Hei lying motionless on the ground. Cao Shujie inexplicably thought of the deceased Da Ha, Er Ha and Da Hei. He felt that Xiao Hei was locked in the kennel and was quite lonely.

of.

He was brought back from the four dogs when he was 11 years old. Among the four dogs, Erha, the shortest one, has been with him for 13 years. The longest one, of course, is Xiao Hei, who is still alive today.

But Xiao Hei has now reached the end of his life, and every dog ​​hair on his body seems to reveal the decay of life. In his eyes, there is only nostalgia for Cao Shujie, his owner.

Cao Shujie also looked at its cloudy eyes, a little lost. When Cheng Xiaolin passed by, she called him: "Shujie, it's cold outside, hurry in."

"How about you give Nuannuan to me, and I'll take her to the house to warm up for a while." Cheng Xiaolin said.

Cao Shujie subconsciously wanted to chat with Xiao Hei for a while. He handed his daughter over and watched his wife bring Nuan Nuan into the house. Cao Shujie opened the door of the kennel and let Xiao Hei out.

He couldn't even remember how long it had been since Xiao Hei went out to exercise with him like before.

Now it is difficult for Xiao Hei to go out and take a few steps. The frail steps can clearly feel Xiao Hei's unwillingness.

Xiao Hei's current age is almost equivalent to the period of time when humans live past 100 years old, the twilight years.

This is because Cao Shujie has given it a lot of good food over the years, and he used to take it out for exercise.

Cao Shujie now really wants to take Xiao Hei for a run, but there is nothing he can do.

His trembling limbs could not support his dozens of kilograms of weight. As he slowly came out of the kennel, it was difficult to see his majestic appearance before.

He finally moved out of the kennel, but after taking a few steps, Xiao Hei couldn't hold on any longer and fell to the ground.

Cao Shujie couldn't help but feel a little sad. He took a handful of matza and sat down next to Xiao Hei. He reached out and stroked Xiao Hei's dog's back. Cao Shujie was like an old man, talking about every detail of these years.

In Cao Shujie's eyes, this life has been a new life for him since he returned to Caojiazhuang in March 2011. However, Cao Shujie has been very busy in the past 10 years and he has not really taken a break.

On the contrary, in the next ten years, Cao Shujie gave up everything as much as possible, delegating power to several companies and letting his generals take the helm.

After a long time, it is inevitable that there will be some unhappiness, but in Cao Shujie's view, as long as they don't go too far, it doesn't hurt.

But human nature is despicable, and there are always people who test Cao Shujie's bottom line again and again. In this situation, Cao Shujie will not show mercy at all even if he is ruthless.

Kill a group of people with thunderbolts, kill the chickens and scare the monkeys, and the others will cease to exist.

Unlike other companies, Xuemeng Food Factory, Flour Mill, and Steel Ball Factory are all Cao Shujie's personal properties. Cao Shujie owns 70% of the shares in Caojiazhuang's tourism company, and the remaining 30% of the shares are owned by Cao Shujie.

20% belongs to Caojiazhuang Village Committee’s investment in the shares, and the last 10% is owned by the people of Caojiazhuang in the name of the collective.

On the other hand, Yaxu Electronics Factory went public eight years ago and received a large amount of financing on the same day.

In the past eight years, Yaxu Electronics Factory has concentrated on researching technology, enriched its foundation, and developed its own industry steadily.

It is this down-to-earth attitude that has allowed Yaxu Electronics Factory to make huge profits.

As for the stock of Yaxu Electronics Factory, it has experienced ups and downs with the market over the years. However, when the market index reached a high point and fell again, the stock price of Yaxu Electronics Factory continued to rise, leading the industry as a pioneer, and its arrogant attitude made people

Sideways glance.

In fact, the scale of Yaxu Electronics Factory has indeed been expanding in recent years.

They have opened many branches across the country, and also opened a branch in Xinjiang to specialize in wind power.

Cao Shujie has been holding shares in Yaxu Electronics Factory for many years. Although the sales restriction period has long passed, he has not sold any shares.

Even when Yaxu shares fell sharply with the market, Cao Shujie spent a large amount of cash to publicly increase his holdings of Yaxu shares.

It was also this incident that once caused Cao Shujie to be nicknamed Big A's "most reliable major shareholder" by stock friends instead of the Pandas.

It seems that it is also because Cao Shujie has not reduced his holdings of Yaxu shares over the years, but allowed Yaxu Electronics Factory to rejuvenate in the later period when it really completed the infrastructure construction of charging piles across the country and began to exert its operating efficiency. In the end, its

The stock price has hit new highs again and again.

Cao Shujie also relies on his possession of more than 40% of the shares of Yaxu Electronics Factory. The value of these shares alone exceeds 60 billion yuan, which is far more than a hundred times the original investment.

As for how much Cao Shujie is worth now, no one can really tell. The most important thing is that the Xuemeng Food Factory under his name is not a listed company.

Several other companies are also not listed companies. The operating conditions and financial information of these companies are not disclosed to the public at all, especially in the years since the beginning of the epidemic, the outside world has never heard rumors about how much profit Xuemeng Food Factory makes in a year.

.

Including the past 8 years, everyone is just guessing.

But everyone knows that the employee benefits and treatment of Xuemeng Food Factory have never fallen behind.

Some people also say that Cao Shujie's net worth has already reached more than 100 billion, even if they don't know what the previous number is?

Some people jokingly call him the most real billionaire, but Cao Shujie himself has never admitted it directly.

"Xiao Hei, after so many years, you have been with me in the end. Tell me, what do you want to eat? I will get it for you right now." Cao Shujie said.
