“Sir, can I help you with anything?” The shop assistant greeted warmly.

  “I would want to get a puppy. Can you show me around?”


  “Sure. Sir, please come with me. What type of breed are you looking for? Big, medium or small size dog? Do you prefer long or short hair, or do you have any breed in mind? Are you looking for a male or a female dog?” The shop assistant asked while bringing Feng Yu around.

  “Woof, woof, woof…….”


  Feng Yu looked around and saw a Caucasian Sheepdog in a cage. Not far away, there was an American Pitbull in another cage.

  Damn! That dog is for dogfighting. Who would keep that dog as pets?

  “Mr. Feng, you prefer big-size dogs? Do you have children at home? If yes, then I will not suggest you keeping this dog. We don’t have puppies for this breed, and they are not easy to train at this age.” The shop assistant saw Feng Yu looking at that Pitbull.

  “It’s fine. Do you all have any smart and gentle big-size breeds?”


  “If you are looking for a smart dog, I would recommend Scotch Collie. They are brilliant and have long fur. They are suitable for the winter climate. If you prefer bigger dogs, Golden Retriever is a good choice. They are easily trained and can perform simple tricks. We have puppies of these two breeds. I can also recommend our dog trainer to train your dog.”


  A few puppies crawling around in a big cage. Some of them were trying to climb up the sides of the cage. However, dogs were not good at climbing. One of the most hardworking puppies caught Feng Yu’s attention.

  “How much is this puppy?”


  “80 USD. These puppies are all vaccinated. We can also help you to prepare the paperwork.”


  This puppy cost 80 USD? The living standards in the US is very high. The minimum standard of living in the US was not very high, but pet shops were not meant for those people living in poverty. That’s why their prices were much higher than in China.

  “Give me a set of food, dog bowl, kennel, leash, toys, etc. Is that enough?” Feng Yu took out a few 100-dollar bills and pass it to the shop assistant.

  “Yes, it’s enough. I recommend this kennel. You can place it in your backyard. I will prepare the dog food, toys and the rest for you. I guarantee your dog will love it. Oh, you should also think of a name for your dog. We need his name for the paperwork.”


  Feng Yu immediately replied: “Tu Hao (Rich man). His name will be Tu Hao.”


  Tu Hao’s gold. What an auspicious name!

  “Too How? You sure?” The shop assistant asked. Who would name a pet as “Too How”?

  “Sure. This is a Chinese name. Chinese is very complicated. It’s fine if you don’t understand.” Feng Yu replied with both his hands behind his back.

  “Ok. Sir, can you give me your address and contact details? The documents will be sent to your house within 3 days. You can keep this temporary permit now.”


  Feng Yu sat in his car and was carrying Tu Hao in his arms. “Tu Hao, Tu Hao, you will be my companion in the future.”


  Little Tu Hao replied with some whining and kept licking Feng Yu’s hand.

  ……


  “Mr. Feng, you got a puppy?” Sister Zhao saw the little puppy and immediately fell in love with him.

  “Yes. I just bought it. I always feel that something is lacking at home.”


  “What is its name?”


  “Tu Hao.”


  “Tu Hao?” Sister Zhao was stunned. She does not understand why Mr. Feng would give this puppy this name.

  Feng Yu felt speechless when he saw the weird look on Sister Zhao’s face. Even the Chinese also don’t understand my humor? He felt like he had said a funny joke, but no one appreciates it.

  “That’s right. Tu Hao. It is only a name. Don’t overthink. Old Tian, Old Tian, come and help me put this kennel together.” Feng Yu shouted.

  When Old Tian was putting together the kennel, Feng Yu received Ralph’s call, telling him that he could not cope with it anymore. He had received more than 30 calls from PC manufacturers, looking for Feng Yu.

  If Feng Yu still ignore them, this matter will be brought up to the board of directors, and it will not be good for Feng Yu.

  Feng Yu replied lazily. “Ok. I know. I will go back tomorrow. I will settle this tomorrow. Oh, have you got the information I asked for?”


  In Feng Yu’s previous life, Seattle was home to some of the top internet companies in the world. There were lots of big companies which were registered here and many talents around.

  Feng Yu wanted to hire some of these talents or look for any potential companies to invest. If he could invest in Ali Baba like Softbank, it would be like striking the top price of a lottery!

  Feng Yu have not intended to make any significant investments during his time in the US. He will be investing in the stock market and getting some tech shares.

  Feng Yu’s Wind and Rain Consulting was now following Feng Yu’s instruction to invest all their money into the US tech shares. These shares were rising every day. This was an indication of the start of the US bull run.

  Wind and Rain Consulting’s ability to make money for their customers had spread. More and more people were willing to let Wind and Rain Consulting handle their money.

  Wind and Rain Consulting was also able to attract more customers with more funds. They only need to reveal how much they made for their clients.

  The public saw that Wind and Rain Consulting was making more and more profits, and everyone wish to open a trading account with them. Now, Wind and Rain Consulting had become Hong Kong’s top stock brokerage. They had even overshadowed Fu Rongqi’s consulting firm.

  If Wind and Rain Consulting invested all their funds into a stock, the price of this stock would be affected. This was Feng Yu’s aim. He wanted Wind and Rain Consulting to be famous and make more people hand over their money to them for investment. This way, he would be able to raise a large amount of fund to prepare for 1997!

  This was Feng Yu’s backup.

  Feng Yu does not have much liquid assets current, but if he needs cash, he could take out large amounts from his companies. He could even use the shares of his companies as a mortgage to get loans.

  “Boss, I have a list of registered companies with me. I got it through a friend. But is this list handy?”


  “You don’t need to think about that. Leave the list on my desk. I will read it tomorrow.”


  After hanging up, the kennel was set up and placed in the backyard. Feng Yu put little Tu Hao into the Kennel and placed some food and water into the bowls beside.

  “Tu Hao…… quickly grow up and become a big Tu Hao.”
