BHBF Chapter 26.1

Boss, He’s Becoming a Father [Arc 1] Chapter 26.1: The Prodigal Son (50)

Shao Dabao was reprimanded again, but this time he did not forget it as he did before.

 

Perhaps because of his strong desire to make money, Shao Dabao did not refute, but asked: “Where should I sell? What should I sell? How to sell?”

 

Shao Yu casually picked up the bag of pastries in his cargo box.

 

“What do you think they used it for when they bought it?” Shao Yu asked.

 

“Hosting guests?” Shao Dabao said hesitantly.

 

“In the south of the city, will this be used to entertain guests?”

 

Shao Dabao shook his head and said, “Shouldn’t I go to the south of the city?”

 

Shao Yu did not answer directly, but asked again: “Apart from entertaining guests, is there anything else?”

 

Shao Dabao couldn’t think of anything for a while.

 

Shao Yu said: “This is food. It tastes delicious and smells sweet. Which kind of person will it be more attractive to?”

 

When Shao Dabao heard this, he really looked thoughtful.

 

Shao Yu didn’t push him, so he took this opportunity and said to the other two children: “Doing business is actually about being a good person. If you are a good person, business will not be bad.”

 

“When you meet different people, you should do different business and say different things. Dabao used to talk about Fengyue with friends outside, but will he say this to us?” Shao Yu said with a smile.

 

Shao Dabao immediately blushed and said: “What Fengyue, It’s just normal communication, socializing between scholars.”

 

Shao Yu chuckled and said, “Don’t explain, everyone knows who you are. Do you think your eldest brother wants to socialize outside?”

 

Amao is also a scholar now, but he goes home on time every day and does not go out at night like Shao Dabao used to do.

 

Although Shao Dabao felt embarrassed, he understood what Shao Yu meant in an instant and said: “Only children love snacks.”

 

Shao Yu asked again: “Can children afford it?”

 

“Who can afford it?” As soon as Shao Dabao asked, he felt that he was mentally retarded and said, “Children can’t afford it, but adults can.”

 

As if he had opened up his mind, Shao Dabao’s mind became clearer and he continued: “There are mostly poor people in the south of the city. If they want to buy a whole pack for their children, they will definitely be reluctant, but if you only buy a piece of Greedy Glutton, maybe they can bite the bullet.”

 

“A pack of pastries originally sells for fifteen cents, but there are twenty pastries in it. I can sell one for one cent…”

 

Shao Yu’s eyes narrowed when he heard the words, and said, “Do you think it’s very smart to do this?”

 

Shao Dabao said: “Poor people are greedy for cheap. If the unit price is higher, it is difficult for them to detect the actual price increase. This way my costs are lower.”

 

“Poor people have their own philosophy of life. You may seem to be making money, but in fact you are ruining your brand.” Shao Yu said.

 

“I will never go to a place like this again.” Although Shao Dabao said this, he felt in his heart that poor people are fools and might be fooled by him several times.

 

Shao Yu did not refute directly, but said to the other two children: “Like him, setting a high price in one go is too greedy. This means that he does not intend to do business again. The same is true for being a human being. He does not expect too much from others. But sooner or later, others will stay away.”

 

“I used to ask for everything from him, but later I found that not only was there no return, but it would only add endless burdens to me. He wants my money today, my shop tomorrow, and harms my daughter.”

 

“So I also figured it out. Just be a father and son on the surface. There is no need to pay special attention to him, and there is no need to worry about his life or death. After all, if he continues like this, he doesn’t know when he will be put in a sack. I also don’t know. It’s easy and clean even if I don’t see him marrying a wife.” Shao Yu said.

 

If it had been in the past, Shao Dabao probably wouldn’t have taken it seriously, but now that he has tasted the cold treatment by Shao Yu, he can be considered that the rift between father and son was found.

 

He never cherished what he had, but what he lost felt particularly precious. After seeing the importance Shao Yu paid to Xiaocao and Amao, Shao Dabao regretted it even more.

 

“I…I just won’t do it anymore.” Shao Dabao said dejectedly.

 

“You still think about it very much in your heart.” Shao Yu said.

 

Human beings all have greed, and Shao Dabao’s greed is always particularly heavy. Shao Yu naturally understands how difficult it is to make a person with a bad nature good.

 

“Forget it, I’m too lazy to care about you.” Shao Yu said and was about to get up. He didn’t want Shao Dabao to feel that his guidance was casual.

 

Shao Dabao immediately said: “I won’t do this anymore, really.”

 

Shao Yu ignored him.

 

Shao Dabao hurriedly asked his sister for help.

 

Shao Xiaocao pretended not to see.

 

Amao who was on the side thought for a while, then asked Shao Yu: “Dad, you said that doing business is like being a person, and selling things is like socializing with people, so what should we do?”

 

Shao Yu did not answer immediately, but glanced at Shao Dabao.

 

Amao helped like this, but Shao Dabao didn’t show any gratitude at all.

 

“You think about others all the time. Even if you get hurt, you don’t hold grudges. You are not helping him, you are hurting both of you.” Shao Yu said.

 

After Amao was seen through by Shao Yu, he immediately lowered his head in shame.

 

Shao Dabao immediately said: “I remember, I remember Amao’s kindness.”

 

“Remember the kindness? It’s a real joke that you can remember.” Shao Yu said.

 

Shao Dabao immediately said: “I promise…”

 

“Then have you ever called him big brother?” Shao Yu asked.

 

Shao Dabao was taken aback.

 

Amao raised his head with a look of anticipation in his eyes.
