Siheyuan starts to eat the old man

Chapter 443 The Finale
When we arrived at Xu Damao's hotel, Xu Damao had been waiting at the door for a long time. Xu Damao was now wearing a straight suit and a red tie around his neck. He looked like he was trying to make as many buns as possible.

Wearing suits has not become popular these days. Only a small number of coastal cities or foreign-related units will wear suits. It was after 83 that suits became popular on a large scale.

Many people in the courtyard who came to eat saw suits for the first time. They were very surprised to see the tie around Xu Damao's neck. Some people came up and asked Xu Damao why he wore a sling around his neck.

This treat brought Xu Damao a lot of limelight. He kept smiling all the time. He didn't know whether the wine glass in his hand was filled with water or wine. Anyway, he never stopped. He kept looking for people to clink glasses and brag about it. He talked about how his restaurant made money, which attracted people in the courtyard to cast envious looks at him.

Xu Damao's entrepreneurship was no less than dropping an atomic bomb into calm water. After knowing the monthly income of Xu Damao's restaurant, everyone's desire for money was aroused.

Among them, Yu Li was the fastest. When everyone was still thinking about starting a business, Yu Li had already started taking action.

She first asked for a month's leave from the factory. During this month, she completed all the store opening procedures and opened the store directly without anyone in the courtyard knowing.

Yu Li's restaurant is not looking for a chef. There are too many smart people in Sijiu City. From the opening of the first restaurant to now, in just half a year, many restaurants have opened on the market, and basically all the chefs can be found. Was invited over.

The chef profession is a skilled job, but those with skills will be well-served in factories. People who have jobs look down on self-employed people, and naturally they will not be willing to work for others in private companies. Therefore, despite the fact that there are many people in the [-] cities, But there are not many good cooks available.

Therefore, Yu Li followed Li Pingan's suggestion and opened the restaurant directly as a hot pot restaurant. The name was the first hot pot restaurant in Sijiu City. All the beef, mutton and hot pot base ingredients required in the restaurant were provided by Li Pingan. , the business is very good, and it is crowded every day.

I want to ask why Li Ping'an didn't occupy the name of this first hot pot restaurant?The main reason is that you don't like this small business, and you have an astronomical sum of 2000 million US dollars in your hands to open a small hot pot restaurant?It’s smaller, the layout is smaller.

Although he had no interest in opening a store, Li Ping'an still discussed the plan to open a store with Ding Qiunan. For no other reason than the reform and opening up, he had not resigned yet and asked his wife to open a big hotel to cover his extravagant behavior.

Ding Qiunan is very resistant to being self-employed. He has no choice but to look down on self-employed people. This is a common problem among people in this era. In the eyes of ordinary people, self-employed people are not on the stage. Only those who do not have a serious job will become self-employed.

After Li Ping'an's persuasion, Ding Qiunan reluctantly agreed. However, Ding Qiunan still had a bottom line. She was only willing to accept being the boss in name, but she would not be involved in the business. She was still in class at school. If there was anything she needed to sign, Notify her of the matter.

With Ding Qiunan's consent, Li Ping'an naturally started to operate. He first directly bought several returned courtyards with three entrances to the street. The current houses are not expensive, a three-entry courtyard only costs 7000 yuan. The person selling the house still feels that he has been taken advantage of.

The ancestral property has just begun to be returned, and few people have bought the house yet. If the house is sold to the Housing Authority, not counting the area, it will cost 200 yuan for a house and a three-bedroom courtyard.

Li Ping'an bought three houses that used to be his work office in a row, and then he closed the deal. The family's savings plus the US dollars he got back from his childhood in the past two years can add up to almost enough to buy three houses. If he continues Buying a house can easily lead to suspicion.

After buying the house, Li Ping'an went directly to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to register three restaurants in Ding Qiunan's name, and then invited the construction team to come in for decoration. After everything was almost ready, Li Ping'an began to think about opening the business.

The chef was originally going to hire Sha Zhu, but who knew that Sha Zhu was stimulated by Xu Damao and was also planning to start a business and open a restaurant. This was a bit embarrassing. Where would he find a chef in the meantime?You can't put the three newly renovated restaurants there, right?

There was no other way, so Li Ping'an started to mobilize his connections and rehired a dozen retired chefs from various factories with high salaries. Although these people had reached the age to retire, they were in good health and would have no problem working in the chef industry for another three to five years. .

After the chef was settled, Li Ping'an pulled out Yi Zhonghai, who was retiring at home, and customized a suit for Yi Zhonghai. From then on, the eighth-level fitter at the steel rolling mill transformed into the general manager of three large hotels.

When Li Ping'an opens a restaurant, the ingredients must be complete. There is no shortage of oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and various seasonings. There is everything you need to fly in the sky and swim in the water. In addition, the chefs are all masters with good skills. All the young and beautiful people who pass by Li Ping'an The waiters with modern training quickly gained a reputation in Sijiu City, surpassing many old restaurants and becoming the most high-end hotel in Sijiu City.For foreigners and overseas compatriots who have come to China, the group of people who have become rich in the past two years, whenever they want to treat guests to dinner, Li Ping'an's three restaurants have become the first choice.

With these three hotels, Li Ping'an no longer has to think about keeping a low profile. In the year when private ownership of cars was allowed, he directly purchased an imported Mercedes-Benz as his own car.

Smuggling cars were rampant in the past few years. Li Ping'an bought more than 200 cars for zero yuan and also sold them during that time. With so many cars running on the street, Li Ping'an would have been itching to see them. If he hadn't been buying supplies, I work in the bureau and my identity does not allow me to do so. It is estimated that this car has already been driven.

The situations of the people in the courtyard were also different. Xu Damao did not hook up with Li Huaide again like in his previous life, but he still couldn't resist the profits from smuggling and embarked on the road of smuggling the year before last.

Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui, two people in the courtyard, had no brains. When they saw others making money, they wanted to do it themselves. First they opened a restaurant, and then they saw Xu Damao making money through smuggling. The two old men started smuggling with Xu Damao.

After doing a few jobs smoothly and making a lot of money, the two of them, who had tasted the benefits, invested all their worth in the smuggling business. At its peak, they even drove cars.

As the saying goes, there is no one who doesn’t get his shoes wet when he often walks by the river. Not even a year after his good days, he was targeted by the police. During a transaction, he was arrested on the spot by the police. He didn’t do anything. There is too much smuggling these days. The goods are confiscated and people are released after paying fines.

Well, something happened and all the money they earned over the years was fined. The previous few years for these three people were in vain. Even their own small restaurant was cashed out. Let's start all over again.

Life in the Jia family was miserable. Banggen couldn't stand the loneliness when he went to the countryside. Seeing that there was no hope of returning to the city, he married a rural wife. After returning to the city with his wife and children, this wife did not have much to deal with Qin Huairu and Jia Zhang. , the family lived in a small house in a courtyard, living a life of chaos.

House prices have grown rapidly in the past two years. A house can be sold for several thousand yuan. Most of the money Qin Huairu saved was subsidized to Banggen when Banggen went to the countryside. There was no hope of buying a house. , can only hope that the steel rolling mill can allocate a house to his family.

But judging from the current situation, there is a high probability that Bangge will have no chance in this life.

These main characters in the courtyard are currently living a good life as Silly Zhu. They have to be skilled in their crafts. They took a long vacation at the steel rolling mill. They and Xu Yanxia run a large restaurant, and their daily business is very busy. good.

Li Ping'an always wanted to quit when the Materials Bureau was restructured, but he did not resign from the unit until the reorganization was completed, and now he has become a cadre in the ministry.

The main reason why I still stay in the company is that I have no motivation to start a business and have lost my goal in life.

Li Ping'an ate all the big rises and falls of the yen, and all the hundreds of millions of dollars he made from the yen were invested in Microsoft, Apple, and a series of future global technology companies.

In his hands, he still holds dozens of properties in Forty-Nine City, a large amount of antique gold, and tens of millions in cash. In terms of family, he has two children and a harmonious husband and wife. He can live peacefully in this life. There is no need to imitate others and start a business overseas.

Li Ping'an once secretly visited the young model in the club that he had been obsessed with when he was young, but he didn't know whether it was because he was older or for some reason. Looking at the young girl dressed up in beautiful clothes, Li Ping'an felt bored.

As time continued to move forward, Yi Zhonghai also died in the hospital just as he was about to enter the new century. Yi Zhonghai's death seemed to have started, followed closely by Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui, two old men who also passed away one after another.

The death of the three elders in the courtyard also represents the end of the story of the courtyard.
