Chapter 484 The more you lack something, the more you show off
Since he and Mrs. Baoer couldn't agree on equity and branding, Xu Erlong could only pause for a while to give everyone room to think calmly.
After all, it is normal for business negotiations to last two or three years, and they need to test each other to come up with an outcome that everyone can accept.
Seeing Wen Laowu coming from his hometown, Xu Erlong asked privately how his matter was resolved.
"Well, it's all settled, and I got the divorce certificate from Li Shuhua." Wen Laowu said weakly.
This trip back to my hometown is really tiring.
"You didn't tell anyone what your situation was like in the capital, right?" Xu Erlong asked worriedly.
"I definitely didn't say that," Wen Laowu said.
"You used to like to brag and show off."
Wen Laowu stared: "Can this be the same? Have you never heard that the more you lack something, the more you like to show off? In the past, you had no money and were poor, so you would brag and show off."
Now, he has seen everything and eaten everything. It can be said that he is living better than 95% of the Chinese people. What else does he need to show off to those people in the countryside?
This is like a rich man. Will he show off to some children that he has countless toy cars?
Showing off like this won't improve your class, it will only make you look classless.
"Okay, now that you've got it done, you don't have to worry about anything later." Xu Erlong said that he was going to pack his things and prepare to return to the county town.
He still had to go back and watch Xu Dongsheng's public sentencing meeting.
"Erlong, do you think I'm going to marry Mrs. Baoer like this?" Wen Laowu asked him.
"This marriage is your own business, and we will not interfere." Xu Erlong emphasized: "However, I suggest that you should learn a foreign language. It is necessary to understand some basic foreign languages, right?"
Wen Laowu nodded heavily. This must mean knowing some basic foreign languages.
Even if you don't want to marry Mrs. Paul, but just do things with Mrs. Paul, it is necessary to know some basic foreign languages.
Next time someone points their nose at you and scolds you, you can turn on the national curse and continue to scold you.

Xu Erlong packed up his things and hurried back to the county town.
Zhang Jinfang has recovered from her injuries and has gone through the discharge procedures.
"Mom, aren't you told to stay in the hospital? You won't be discharged until you are completely recovered?" Xu Erlong asked Zhang Jinfang.
Zhang Jinfang smiled and said, "I'm almost feeling better now, right? Besides, living in this hospital is not as comfortable as at home. It's the same as going home and recovering slowly."
Xu Erlong did not object again.
Since Zhang Jinfang likes to go home to recuperate, she should go home to recuperate. At the worst, she should go to the hospital for more frequent check-ups, or take her mother to the city for further check-ups.
After arranging Zhang Jinfang's affairs, Xu Erlong checked the operating conditions of several points.
The seven Calabash Brothers who were running business outside all received good news. They all found suitable store locations in those big cities.
Xu Erlong's request to them was to buy whatever they could.
Therefore, twelve stores have been purchased now.
These shops are all located in big cities, some charge a few thousand, and some charge more than 10,000.
In the 1980s, such a price was really high.
But these days, the shops are also truly prosperous shops on the street.
They are all located in extremely prosperous locations, with a large flow of people coming and going.
Moreover, everyone still wants to support three generations in one shop, so the asking price is naturally high.
"Buy." Xu Erlong said simply.
As long as the location is right, it's still very suitable to spend a few thousand yuan or more than 10,000 yuan to buy a store.
Xu Erlong took the train again and visited these places. He was still very satisfied with the location of the shops and made a decision to buy these shops on the spot.
Well, he can be regarded as someone who has several stores across the country.
After Xu Erlong took care of these shops, he returned to the county town and went to find someone from a photo studio to take pictures of the leather shoe shop.
From now on, other stores will be decorated according to this standard and become chain stores across the country.
In the leather shoe store, Huang Xiaogang and Jin Ya were quarreling for some reason. Jin Ya even wanted to hit Huang Xiaogang with his leather shoes, and Huang Xiaogang walked around the leather shoe rack.
Fortunately, there are no customers in the leather shoe store right now, otherwise, this would look ridiculous.
"Second brother." Huang Xiaogang saw Xu Erlong coming and immediately ran to his side.
Jin Ya also stopped his hand and called out: "Second brother."
"What's the fuss about? This place of work is treated as home? What's the point of making a fuss?" Xu Erlong's face darkened slightly, and his tone was a bit harsh.
"Second brother, let me tell you..." Huang Xiaogang was about to file a complaint.
"Huang Xiaogang, shut up, I will tell my second brother myself." Jin Ya glared at him.
Huang Xiaogang hummed and said: "Then tell your second brother yourself, I don't think you have the face to say it."
It sounds like something happened.
Xu Erlong looked at Jin Teeth.
"Second brother." Jin Ya lowered his head, not knowing where to start.
Xu Erlong handed him a cigarette.
I've been busy all day long, so I don't have much contact with gold teeth these days.
"Let's go, let's have dinner together at noon? Speaking of which, it's been a long time since we had a drink," Xu Erlong said.
Jin Ya said: "Okay, second brother, I also have something to say to you alone."
After saying that, he turned around and glared at Huang Xiaogang, obviously not wanting him to follow him.
At noon, Xu Erlong and Jin Ya were sitting in Niu Yishou's restaurant, eating lunch.
Twice-cooked pork, hot kidney strips, spicy and sour potato shreds, and hoof flower soup.
Xu Erlong ordered these dishes, which were all the ones Jin Ya liked to eat in the past.
"Second brother, don't order this hoof flower soup." Jin Ya said.
"What? His Hoof Flower Soup is a signature dish, why should I have a portion?" Xu Erlong said.
Jin Ya had a grimace on his face: "Second brother, don't eat it. If you eat too much of this pig's trotters, your wife will have to be forked off."
There is a saying here that because there are several prongs on the pig's trotters, everyone says that if you use such prongs, the target will be separated.
Therefore, Gold Teeth is worried about this.
Xu Erlong also thought of this.
He was too busy and had little time to go to the leather shoe store. He was not very clear about the current situation of Jin Teeth.
"Why were you fighting with Xiaogang just now?" Xu Erlong asked.
"Second brother, that's just a joke." Jin Ya said: "How could I really fight with him? He is just a child. Sometimes he talks uncontrollably. I just scare him."
Xu Erlong nodded: "My kid hasn't made any big mistakes, so don't get the reputation of bullying kids."
"I know, second brother."
Xu Erlong asked him again: "How are you and your partner doing now?"
Gold Teeth said nothing.
Looking at the crotchless look on Jin Ya's face, Xu Erlong's heart skipped a beat, this guy, please don't cause anything to happen, right?
