Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 261 Xu and Liu break up
In Yan Bugui's view, the source of goods was a trivial matter. Within a few days, Wang Qing established contact with Shijia Village, and Yan Jiekuang was relieved.

Yang Ruiping came a few days later. In addition to looking after the children, he also looked after Tiantian's children. Yang Ruiping's eyes were sharp. He looked at the puppies and asked Yan Jiekuang, "Is this a puppy?"

Yan Jiekuang nodded and said, "How could Tiantian's child not be a dog? But this is a wolfdog. His mother should be a wolf."

A little wolf dog came over and licked Yang Ruiping's hand. Yang Ruiping was also in a childish mood and teased the little wolf dog. Yang Ruiping said, "I'll take this one away and keep it."

Yan Jiekuang looked at his mother, whose words were not to be questioned, and nodded. The little wolf-dog seemed to understand, and it wagged its tail and circled around Yang Ruiping. Yang Ruiping smiled and picked the dog up, never letting go.

Yang Ruiping said: "Your father did something big these two days."

Yan Jiekuang looked at his mother curiously and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Your father cooperated with the police station to crack down on a gang that had been stealing for years. They were caught right in front of the store. Your father also received a banner, which is hung on the wall of the store." Yang Ruiping said proudly.

Yan Jiekuang knew immediately that his feeling was correct. The man staring at the store must be the spy of the theft gang. Yan Jiekuang sighed and said, "Why is society getting more and more chaotic now?"

Yang Ruiping agreed with Yan Jiekuang's words and said, "It's all because of the lack of jobs. It's really hard to find a job now. Apart from taking over the work and a small amount of street distribution, there is no work at all."

Yan Jiekuang suddenly thought of Yan Yongqing at this time, and asked, "What is your eldest grandson doing?"

Yang Ruiping said calmly: "He was quite noisy at first and insisted on doing business on his own. Later, when he saw that his classmates and friends didn't even have jobs, he felt at ease to work on the street, and he went to work and came home regularly every day."

Yan Jiekuang nodded and said, "In our family, apart from Yan Yongqing, my younger sister is the one who is quite troublesome. If they are fine, our family will be quite stable."

Yang Ruiping suddenly turned his head, looked at Yan Jiekuang, and said, "Jie Di graduated, and the state assigned her a job. Don't give her any stupid advice or make trouble, or I won't forgive you."

Yan Jiekuang looked at Yang Ruiping in surprise. How did his mother know that he was planning to take advantage of Yan Jiedi? But he still nodded and said, "Don't worry, Mom. Am I that kind of person? I'm very honest."

Yang Ruiping rolled his eyes at him and said, "You are the only one in the family who is so troublesome, and I don't even know you. Okay, go ahead, I'm going to see my grandchildren."

Yan Jiekuang had nothing to do, so he picked up today's newspaper and started reading. After a while, Yan Jiekuang looked at a piece of news with a strange expression on his face.

The main content of the news was that the country was preparing to limit steel production, and the steel mills in the old city would be the first to be affected. The requirements were that production should not exceed a certain amount. When Yan Jiekuang saw this, the first thing he thought of was the steel mill. If production decreased, profits would also decrease. He didn't know if the steel mill could survive.

Yan Jiekuang thought of Liu Haizhong and Xu Damao again, and Yan Jiekuang sincerely wished them good luck.

In fact, what Yan Jiekuang didn't know was that Xu Damao was now in a state of panic. He had previously signed a contract with a customer in the south for 20 tons of wire rod, and the money had already been given to Xu Damao, but Liu Haizhong contacted Director Lan, who told him that it was impossible to give it to him because the country had already controlled production and it was impossible to approve it for them.

At this moment, Liu Haizhong and Xu Damao were dumbfounded, because the contract clearly stated that whoever breached the contract would have to pay ten times the compensation. At this moment, Xu Damao and Liu Haizhong were dumbfounded.

Finally, there was no other way. As the delivery date was approaching, the two men tried to use their connections and looked for other steel mills to see if they could buy wire rods. Unfortunately, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse. All steel mills were notified that all production had to be reported and allocated by the state.

The other party of the contract found Xu Damao the day before the delivery date. In fact, he already knew about the policy changes and knew that it would be impossible for him to get steel in Sijiu City, so he had no choice but to ask Xu Damao and Liu Haizhong to pay compensation.

After the two sides had a complete showdown, Xu Damao and Liu Haizhong begged the contract party desperately. The southern client also knew that the two men could not come up with so much money, and in the end, considering their previous cooperation, he only asked for five times the compensation.

Xu Damao and Liu Haizhong not only lost their previous earnings and capital, but also had nearly 20,000 yuan in debt each. They went their separate ways and each took care of their own affairs. Their relationship deteriorated even more than before the cooperation, and now they basically ignored each other. No one in the courtyard knew about this, and they knew it was embarrassing, so they didn't tell anyone. However, there was no shortage of smart people in the courtyard. Seeing the people who had become plain-dressed, several old guys guessed that it was Jia Zhang, Yi Zhonghai, and Yan Jiekuang's father Yan Bugui.

Time came to the winter of 1982. Yan Jiekuang, who was leisurely every day, sat in his study with a book in his hand, his mind wandering. He was thinking, people in later generations always heard about the 1982 Lafite. Do you think it would be better to buy some now and keep it and wait for it to appreciate in value?

After a while, Dapang, Xiaopang and Shi Li came. They found Yan Jiekuang and wanted to make a nest for their puppies. Yes, the remaining five puppies were occupied by these three children, and Tiantian didn't care about them. Since they came back, Tiantian never left the backyard or went to the front yard. He just lay in the nest all day long.

Yan Jiekuang stood up and took his three children to the studio. The materials and tools were ready in the studio. Yan Jiekuang worked while entertaining the children.

In a short while, Yan Jiekuang had completed five beautiful puppy kennels. He also took the time to make a small slide for the dogs.

Yan Jiekuang and the children moved the dog kennel and slide to the warehouse on the left, which had fire walls on both sides, which was very warm in winter.

Yan Jiekuang was busy with his work with the children when Aunt Wang came from the front yard and said that an old man was looking for him, and he came in a car.

Yan Jiekuang didn't know who it was, so he went to the front yard in confusion. When he got there, he saw that it was Minister Liu. He hadn't been in contact with him for several years. He quickly and enthusiastically invited Minister Liu Zheng to the central hall. Behind him followed Liu Zheng's secretary, whom Yan Jiekuang didn't recognize.

Aunt Wang brought tea and snacks in a short while. Liu Zheng was not polite. After taking a few sips of tea, he asked Yan Jiekuang where he was working recently.

Yan Jiekuang briefly introduced his living situation and also said that he opened a restaurant and his business was good, etc.

Liu Zheng nodded and said, "You are on the right track to open a restaurant. Your cooking skills are impeccable."

Yan Jiekuang smiled and said, "How come you have time to come to my place?"

Liu Zheng said, "I don't come to you for no reason. I have something to ask for. You know something about the steel mill, right? I've read your report on the street before."

"I know a little bit about it. Isn't it being integrated now? Are there any problems?" Yan Jiekuang said.

Liu Zheng said: "Integration is only one aspect. Now that we have reform and opening up, we also want to try to find out whether we can go the joint venture route. Aviation Catering Company is a good example. The joint venture has taken a new path, so we also want to see if other companies can take a new path."

Yan Jiekuang agreed with Liu Zheng's words, but still asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Liu Zheng said, "I'd like to ask you to go to Hong Kong Island. We still want to win over the Lou Group. After all, this factory was originally owned by them."

Yan Jiekuang suddenly realized and asked, "I still remember the incident at the textile factory last time. Are you sure this time?"

Liu Zheng said firmly: "Don't worry, someone was interfering last time. We are confident this time, but we still need you to help us."

Yan Jiekuang said: "No problem, it is my duty to contribute to the country, not to mention that I can also go to Hong Kong Island."

Liu Zheng laughed and said, "You are still the same as always. Okay, I won't bother you anymore. Just wait for my notification."

Liu Zheng said goodbye, and Yan Jiekuang returned to his study to think carefully about this trip to Hong Kong Island.
