Siheyuan starts from a better life

Chapter 664, advice

Xu Damao was also very discerning and knew that it would not be easy for his father-in-law to invite Jiang Yan to dinner this time, so he found an excuse to busy He Yuzhu and went to the kitchen. When he saw that everyone had left, they were the only two people left in the living room. Lou Ban Cheng then said: "Xiao Jiang! How about we go to my study to chat for a while? It's quiet there."

"As guests please, host. Since Uncle Lou is so elegant, I should accompany him."

After the servant brought the tea, he withdrew, leaving only two people in Nuo Da's study sitting quietly.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Jiang Yan didn't rush to speak. He simply picked up the tea cup and took a sip, letting the aroma of tea fill his entire mouth before praising, "Good tea, Mingqian Longjing, this thing is a rare thing." , Uncle must have spent a lot of trouble buying and replacing this thing."

"I didn't expect that Xiao Jiang, you are also a person who knows tea. If you like it, I will give you two taels when you leave. My son-in-law is not as knowledgeable as you. Any good tea in his mouth is almost like high broken pieces. Big Once the teapot is brewed, it will be enough, but giving it to him is a waste of resources."

Seeing that he was interested in joking, Jiang Yan smiled and said, "Uncle Lou is inviting me over this time. Isn't it just as simple as tea and dinner?"

Lou Bancheng shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Xiao Jiang, you are all a showman. Don't you know what I mean by asking you to come here? It's just the two of us now. You kid, don't pretend to be confused like me."

Jiang Yan deliberately pretended to be stupid and said, "Uncle Lou, where did you start talking about this? My nephew is not pretending to be confused."

Lou Bancheng didn't believe even a single punctuation mark in this little fox's words. Now he discovered that, despite his young age, this kid had as much guts in his stomach as he did.

Since he still cares about the favor between the two families, Jiang Yan doesn't mind giving the old man a few words. Even if it's not for his own sake, he still has to think about Xu Damao and his wife. Is it really possible to wait until later and let them flee in a hurry? .

"Xiao Jiang, you are making uncle and I very passive by doing this. Although the Red Star Factory is a public-private partnership, steel is the foundation of national construction. I am already living with trepidation, and now I am doing it again. Come out to cooperate with your research institute. Your research institute is a confidential organization. What you do to me, a director of a private company, is very difficult."

No wonder the old man could endure it until now. Seeing that the old man had a helpless look on his face, he did not speak harshly to him. On the contrary, he was polite when he came today.

Looking at the miserable expression on the old man's face, it was probably because he had a good relationship with the big boss, and with Lou Xiao'e's relationship, otherwise the old man would have pointed at his nose and yelled.

He smiled and said to Lou Bancheng: "Uncle, I wonder if you feel that your life has been satisfactory in the past few years?"

This skill of pretending to be stupid and stunned would not be able to be so natural without the skill of 20 or 30 years. I really don't know if this kid is born to be a liar, or if he is an old fox who has become a spirit.

"Aren't you asking questions knowingly? This bad old man like me is in a retired state now, and I don't dare to interfere in the affairs of the factory. When I have nothing to do, I just chat with those old friends, drink tea, and wait for death. Days, now that you have done this, I will be even more afraid to go to the factory in the future."

"Since life is so unsatisfactory, why doesn't uncle want to go to other places for development? Do you really want to let the property passed down from your ancestors end in your hands?"

Lou Bancheng saw some sincerity in Jiang Yan's eyes, so he stopped pretending. He sighed and said, "Where can I go now?" "To be honest with you, at the beginning, When I was here, I really thought about dropping everything and running away, but after all, this is my roots, and I am already old, and there is only a girl like Xiao'e here, so I just thought of guarding it for her. This last piece of family property will at least allow her to have enough food and clothing for the rest of her life, which means I have fulfilled my responsibility as a father."

Jiang Yana didn't believe Lou Bancheng's words at all. Now this Lou Tan family was Lou Bancheng's former concubine. He saw that there wasn't much going on, so he asked his real wife to take a few children. Xiangjiang and Yingjiang were taken away, leaving only them.

"Besides, our family has saved up such a steel mill through generations of hard work. Now it is a public-private partnership. It is simply a dream to withdraw from it. If you just let it go, how can you let me be willing to do it? If that's the case, If so, then this ancestor’s inheritance will really be ruined in my hands.”

Jiang Yan asked with a smile: "In my uncle's opinion, how confident are you that you can hold on to this steel plant?"

"Well, that's what you say, but if I really let it go completely, I would feel a little unwilling after all."

"Uncle, it's hard to let go of his good fortune. If it were up to me, I would definitely take this opportunity to give up all my shares in exchange for an opportunity to use my skills and create new heights. I know that if you had been living in the imperial capital, there would be no other possibility except to sit back and have nothing to do. How old are you now, and are you willing to play chess and walk around with nothing to do every day? Then you won't be the yellow belts you used to be."

Hearing what Jiang Yan said, he said with some confusion: "You mean to exchange those shares for a chance to get out of prison? But if I don't even have start-up capital, how can I make a comeback?"

"Besides, there isn't gold everywhere. In the current environment, it's not easy to make money anywhere."

Jiang Yan shook his head with a smile and said, "That's not necessarily true. Uncle, you should know that this is the case in all dynasties. Great governance comes after great chaos. Things are broken and need to be repaired. Houses are broken and need to be rebuilt. On the contrary, I think now is the best time for development. As long as you break free from the shackles that bind your hands and feet, with my uncle's many years of business experience, isn't it just around the corner to soar to the sky? Why bother holding on to the roots of this imperial city and suffering."
Now Lou Bancheng no longer treats Jiang Yan as a young man, nor does he treat ordinary old people who are immersed in shopping malls.

Although he also felt that his back hurt when he stood talking, at least the truth in his words and the meaning he wanted to express could withstand scrutiny.

Father Lou asked seriously: "Xiao Jiang, to be honest, I have considered what you just said before, but I haven't figured it out yet. Can you tell me in detail? Even if there is a lot of room for development in the outside world, But not everyone can get out of it. I also have some friends who are in Xiangjiang now, but according to their letters, the security there is chaotic and the environment is not very good. They have suffered greatly from it. Doing business there is not an easy task."

It seems that Lou Bancheng is still a bit old. Does this person who is afraid of wolves and tigers still look like a capitalist?

Jiang Yan smiled and said, "Uncle, are you planning to go somewhere and engage in industry? I'm afraid it will be difficult to find a suitable entry point."

Seeing this young man talking about his wisdom in front of him, Lou Bancheng couldn't help but feel heartbroken. If he was his son-in-law, there would be no need to worry that the Lou family would have no heirs and the family business would not prosper.

Although he jumped with regret in his heart, he still asked in his mouth: "Xiao Jiang can see clearly. It is because of this that I am in a dilemma. According to my friends, various forces there are intertwined, and the big forces almost control With all the industries that can make money, and the low-level officials below, it’s not that easy for me, a mainlander, to start a business.”

Jiang Yan said calmly: "Uncle, how would you feel if I asked you to cooperate with the country?"
