Uncle Lai in the Red Chamber

Chapter 129
As soon as May passed, the rain in Beijing never stopped.

Leaving the withered lotus to listen to the sound of rain is something only a literary youth like Daiyu would like.

Lai Shangrong had to get up early in the morning to go to the office. The sound insulation effect in this era was not good. The sound of rain hitting the leaves on the eaves made it difficult for him to sleep. In addition, the road in the backyard was muddy and Sister You was harassing him from time to time, so he simply moved to the backyard. main room.

After getting through this period of time, it is imperative to harden the road in the backyard and renovate the house.

He has plenty of money now, and since he produces cement at home, he doesn't have to spend money. It shouldn't cost much money to renovate his own yard and roads at home.

After making a plan for renovation, he went to Dongkuayuan to tell the old man to increase cement production.

Firing cement is not complicated, at least much simpler than glass. Lai Shangrong arranged for Jiang Maocai and Wu Qinian to help guide the work, and the cement was successfully developed in mid-May.

Later, in order to help the workers become familiar with the operating procedures, they started production slowly. Since the firing furnaces were made for research and development, the output was limited, and the main purpose was to train skilled workers.

"Shang Rong! If you are not in charge of the Xifu Courtyard project now, why not sell this cement to Xifu first? Then we will do some publicity. This will open up the market in the future, right?"

Lai Da has been working as a steward at Uncle Tian Guo's family for more than half a year, and has indeed learned some business knowledge, which makes him want to build a model house.

However, Lai Shangrong is a complete hedonist and has no shortage of money. He is still not happy to spend money outside his own house when it is not needed.

Moreover, since the boardroom is in another courtyard, people outside cannot see it at all, so the effect is not great.

"With the little output we have, let's focus on our own household first!"

"When can't we do it at home? If you don't make money, you won't make it in vain!"

Lai Shangrong said perfunctorily: "It's impossible to convince them to build houses with cement. It's still too early to pave the road. Let's talk about it later!"

"Now that the workers have almost mastered their skills, do you want to build a bigger factory?"

"Okay! The construction of the glass factory has been put on the agenda. If we really want to promote it, where the cement is used is the real sign. What materials are used there is not a matter of a word from my son?"

Lai Da said in surprise: "Hey! That's right! Why didn't I think of that! I'll go find Mr. Wu and Mr. Jiang tomorrow and ask them to give me some advice."

Lai Shangrong actually applied for the allocation of shares in the glass factory in mid-May. Although there was a priority policy, there was still endless disputes, which lasted until the end of the month before the various parties in the game finally compromised.

Since there is a game, there will be compromise. In addition to finalizing the equity list, in order to stabilize the courtiers who did not get the shares, the second glass factory's shareholding work was also put on the agenda. This decision, Lai Shangrong had no right to comment on and could only comply with.

The first factory was hit by heavy rain for days before it even started construction. The share quotas for the second factory had been finalized, and it was a certainty that the two factories would be built at the same time.

But in this way, the shares of the first factory are not so rare. I don’t know what Jia Mu and Shi Nai talked about. He actually regretted it and wanted to withdraw his shares from the first factory and join the second factory normally, so as to avoid Hunan. Shares in cloud dowry.

In the end, Lai Shangrong used some small tricks to cut off the shares of Shi Ding No. [-] Factory again and again, and with Jia Mu's hard and soft tactics, he finally gave in.

This is human nature, if he hadn't let Shi Nai feel superior from Shi Ding's allotment ratio, I am afraid that the help at the beginning would have become a bad thing in his eyes.

Sister Feng courtyard.

Jia Rong followed Ping'er and walked into the main hall with his back bent.

"Auntie, please!"

While bowing, he took out a stack of banknotes from his arms and said with a smile: "Auntie, I am withdrawing my shares now. If I want to invest in shares in the future, I won't be able to get such a high interest rate!"

It takes time to recover the capital. Although Wang Xifeng found Jia Rong in mid-May, it took more than half a month to recover the capital.

Sister Feng sat motionless on the official hat chair, motioned to Ping'er to take the banknote, and then spat: "Bah! My aunt thought you were short of money, so she lent it to you. You really thought I was trying to do this for you. Interest?" Jia Rong slapped herself twice, licked her face and said with a smile: "My nephew made a mistake, and my aunt scolded me!"

Sister Feng glanced at the big pendulum clock in the main hall and said impatiently: "Since the money has been sent, you can go back!"

Jia Rong took a step forward and whispered: "Auntie is so eager to withdraw her shares. Could it be that there is some news about the old lady and my wife?"

Sister Feng winked at Ping'er, and Ping'er hurriedly said: "Grandma and Uncle Xiao Rong will talk first, and I will go outside to see if the windows of the wing and the flower hall are closed!"

Sister Feng pretended to be angry and said: "You little prodigal is getting more and more out of control. Go and have a look quickly, don't get wet in the house!"

He turned to look at Jia Rong and sneered: "I heard that you found your second uncle Lian's house outside for him?"

Jia Rong hurriedly cried out: "My aunt is wronged! My second uncle asked my nephew to help build a house. My nephew only thought that he wanted to buy a house, but he didn't know that he wanted to move out by himself!"

Sister Feng laughed and said, "Don't fool me with these words. He is closer to your father than real brothers. He doesn't even distinguish between you and me as aunt. Don't you know?"

Jia Rong hurriedly explained: "Those are all matters of the elders. How dare my nephew say more!"

"Go away! Don't think I don't know who you are!"

"Hey!" Jia Rong hurriedly backed out with an aggrieved look.

He held up the umbrella and left the small courtyard. The grievance on his face immediately disappeared and turned into a smirk.

He didn't know anything about Wang Xifeng's character. She suddenly withdrew the loan capital, which was inconsistent with her usual behavior. It made Jia Rong wonder whether the news was exposed and was known to Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang.

However, judging from his behavior just now, it seemed that he was overly worried. It was just because she found out about helping Jia Lian find a foreign residence and made her angry.

Then he sneered and said to himself, Zhengchou had no excuse to withdraw her shares, but she came for it herself.

Times have changed, and at this time last year, the family still had income from the Ministry of Industry, so he was just doing some small work to make some pocket money.

It is said that father and son go into battle. Although the family is still rich, Jia Zhen is also worried about future income. Why not simply let her father become a shareholder and make this industry bigger and stronger?

First, as a member of the Ning Mansion, his expenses will rise as the family becomes rich.

Secondly, if Jia Zhen is offered such a way to make money, when he is happy, his uninitiated aunts will inevitably be willing to get involved.

Even with Jia Zhen's temperament, it is not impossible for her stepmother Youshi to be happy. Although Youshi's appearance is not as good as Qin's, Qin's name is now her father's forbidden love.

Besides, that familiar and charming energy also has some interesting features, coupled with the blessing of taboo...

Thinking of this, she couldn't help curling her lips. Could it be that he only wants what he likes and forbids me to covet his?

What's more, he is no different from a widower now, and can only rely on Jia Zhen's charity...

It's just a pity that Second Aunt Lian is too strong-willed. She has tried many times in the past two years and is not sure at all. Otherwise, Second Uncle Lian would not care about others and would just take advantage of it.

But as long as Jia Lian remains frozen like this, can Aunt Feng still be able to bear it?

I am never afraid of thieves, I am afraid that thieves will miss me and I will always find an opportunity.

Thinking of Sister Feng's greasy, white and unloved body, Jia Rong secretly made up her mind to hold Jia Lian back no matter what.

Ah!
Wait for at least a year and a half.
