A Siheyuan Home Brings Good Fortune

Chapter 218 Liu Haizhong got rich
Everyone in the He family packed up and went out to see He Daqing and Zheng Yaoxian. Although these two old men only liked their children to visit them now, they still had to go.

When He Daqing came over, he would cook and they would just wait to eat. He Yuzhu is getting busier and busier now and rarely stays at home. Although people from a family of chefs may not necessarily be good at cooking, they are very picky eaters.

Don’t try to imitate Cai Wenqing’s cooking skills. If you do, you’ll probably become autistic. Who would want to have the meal they worked hard to prepare despised and criticized as worthless? No one would not become autistic.

Cai Wenqing never cooked again after being disliked once. She would go out to eat when He Yuzhu was not at home, and now she has gotten used to it.

It’s not that He Yuzhu turned him into a giant baby, it’s mainly because the children dislike him so much. Even a good-tempered person who is disliked every day would develop a fear of the kitchen, right?

"Grandpa Zheng, Grandpa, we are here"

As soon as they entered the courtyard, He Qian and He Yu started shouting and yelling. The quiet courtyard suddenly became chaotic. The two bosses all ran out and looked at the two women with a smile. As for He Yukai and the others, they were automatically ignored.

"Hey, two old men, didn't you see us? After all, we are living people, so please give us some face, okay?"

"This is your yard, your territory. Come and sit down! You want us to greet you? You want to make trouble, little brat?"

Zheng Yaoxian didn't even look at He Yukai, his eyes were only on He Qian and He Yu.

"Dad, the kids want to eat the meal you cooked today. I brought all the dishes here just in case you don't have enough."

"understood"

He Daqing also looked at the two women without raising his head. He Yukai touched his nose awkwardly and thought, if you don’t like them, then don’t like them!
He Daqing took the three boys to cook, while the two girls and Cai Wenqing accompanied Zheng Yaoxian. He had no market here at all.

"Old man, from now on, our three boys will be handed over to you. My spy shop is getting bigger and bigger, and they need to inherit it after they graduate from college. Please teach them."

"What are you going to have me teach them?"

"Please teach them everything you think you can! They can avoid taking detours in the future. I know how capable you are. Please."

"Okay, Sister Qian's descendants are my descendants, I will take it to heart"

"Well, thank you Uncle Zheng."

"Dad, Yu Shui called and said everything is ready. You can leave this month."

"Are you leaving now?"

"Yes, we're going there to scout ahead. The kids will go there after they graduate. They need help there too. Yu Shui can't leave, and she wants to see you too. Get ready! You can set off after I've made arrangements here."

"understood"

He Yukai had no choice but to arrange He Daqing here. He stared at Yi Zhonghai's house every day and was really afraid that Yi Zhonghai would be beaten to death by He Daqing one day. It was not worth it.

There was no need to pay such a huge price for Yi Zhonghai's miserable life, so He Yukai had no choice but to send He Daqing to keep Zheng Yaoxian company.

Liu Haizhong's home
"Dad, I heard that rebar is very valuable. Didn't you sponsor a college student before? Now you are the factory manager! If you can get rebar, you can make a lot of money."

"Oh? When did that thing become so valuable? Isn't it still a unified purchase and sale?"

"Hey, it's not like that anymore. Construction has started in many places now. Building houses and buildings doesn't require rebar. Dad, please contact that factory manager Lan and see if you can get the stuff.

We can make a lot of money once we sell it, and we don't need to give it for free. We pay for it, and of course the money for the first batch will be paid by the second batch.

This is a once-in-a-century opportunity, we must seize it, and now we must start saving for your eldest grandson."

Seeing that Liu Haizhong was still hesitating, Liu Guangtian winked at Qin Jingru. Qin Jingru immediately recalled that when she heard that she could make a lot of money, she couldn't hold back.

Cai Wenqing and Lou Xiao'e had so many clothes that she envied them to death, but she knew her family situation and couldn't afford them.

But now there is such an opportunity, and I also have connections that others don’t have. Why not seize the opportunity? What are you waiting for?
"Mom, please talk to our dad. It's not like he won't give money. He won't make things difficult for Director Lan. If our family makes money, we can renovate the house and save up a fortune for your grandson. Then we can buy a bigger house. If you miss this opportunity, you'll never get it again."

"Lao Liu, what you said makes sense. Why don't you give it a try? If it works, the family will be prosperous! Look at the He family now. They run a restaurant and are doing very well. Although our family won't starve, it's good to earn some extra money for backup."

"Well, okay, I'll find some time to look for him and see if I can get the stuff from him. You still have to keep it a secret and don't give him a bad influence or cause him any trouble."

"Got it, Dad! He's our cash cow now, why should we gossip about making money?"

"It's good that you understand this principle. I'm afraid that you are young and don't know the importance of this. So you can contact the seller first and see how much it costs. I can also explain it to you all at once when I get there.

I plan to save this favor for my eldest grandson to use when he grows up and finds a job. Since you are ready to take it now, it’s up to you! Remember, the more you use a favor, the thinner it becomes. If you use it now, it will be gone in the future.”

Liu Haizhong actually didn't want to look for his college student apprentice. After all, he had just provided financial support to him back then. Unexpectedly, this apprentice worked hard and was admitted.

This is the advantage of being educated. Now he is the factory director and holds great power.

He knew that he would be able to accomplish it if he used it in the past, and the child would remember his favor. But it might not work this time. The more favors you owe, the more you owe them. But if you are asking for favors from others, naturally the more you use them, the thinner they will be, and they might not be useful at the critical moment.

"Okay, don't worry. As long as we make money, we won't have to ask others for help in the future. With money, there's nothing good for our son, your eldest grandson, to do? Does he have to work in a factory?

Haven't you noticed? There are more and more street vendors now, and I haven't seen the street offices managing them. This means there will be more choices in the future. If you can start your own business, wouldn't it be good to be your own boss? "

"Okay, just remember it. Now go and do the math! See how much is needed so I can go talk to them. It would be rash to go to them without any preparation. After all, he is the factory director now. Even though he is the director of a branch factory, he is still a big boss."

"Okay, then I'll go?"

"Go!"

Liu Haizhong knew that since his son said this, he must have inquired about or found a buyer, otherwise he would not ask so easily. This was what his years of experience told him, and he knew that these children all had their own little tricks in their minds.

He has already thought about what to do with the money after making it. He will give part to his two sons, and let them work hard while the bulk of the money remains in his hands. In case of any problems, he can fill in the gaps in time.

Having been a workshop director for so many years, he still had some brains. His biggest hope now was his eldest grandson. Son? He was completely disappointed.

He had no vision and no ability, as he said when He Yukai first came out. At that time, they disliked him and were annoying. Now that the He family has made a lot of money, they are starting to think of ways. If he had listened to him and followed He Yukai at that time, he would have gone to Hong Kong Island to study like Xu Damao.

He Yukai knew that he was going to do something big, otherwise, with his personality, he would not have allowed Liang Lati and Xu Damao to go to Hong Kong Island to study.

I'm already over 40, what's the point of learning? There's no one to help me!
If there are useful people, do they still need people in their forties to learn from them?

It's a pity that such a good opportunity was missed. Now He Yukai must look down on people who have no education and no ability. If they want something, they will rush to go. Look at Xiaodang of the Jia family. Even if an incompetent person goes to a good place, he will be driven back. Isn't he coming back in disgrace?

When Qin Huairu was scolding Xiaodang at home, he happened to be in the toilet and heard it. He didn't want to get into trouble so he didn't tell anyone. In his eyes, the people of the Jia family were crazy and he would not provoke them if he could avoid it.

Liu Guangtian came back not long after. Seeing that ten tons were needed, Liu Haizhong opened his eyes wide and looked at Liu Guangtian in disbelief. Is this true? Such a large amount?

"Guangtian, do you know the other party's identity? We can't do it without knowing the truth about such a large amount. If we get into trouble, it will be troublesome. The child is still young, so let's live our lives peacefully!

Don't dream about getting rich. You should know how much ten tons is. If a dead person wants it, you can't do it. Who knows what they will do with so much stuff?"

For private use? How high a house do you need to be to require ten tons of rebar? Are you kidding me?
"Then I'll go and ask around?"

"Go quickly. It's best to go to the scene and take a look. Don't just follow what others say. Make sure first. Otherwise, I won't do it. We can do anything in our family, but we can't do anything illegal. You're living a good life, are you crazy?"

"Okay dad!"

After hearing what Liu Haizhong said, Liu Guangtian was also scared. If something happened, it would not be worth it. Although their family was not top-notch, they had enough food and drink, so there was no need to take risks.

He plans to go and check it out tomorrow. It is said that the commune is using it. He will know if it is true by asking the commune. If it is not true, he really cannot participate casually.

The next day, Liu Guangtian went to Hongqi Commune to see the site. He saw that Hongqi Commune had fenced off a large piece of land, saying that they were going to build a factory, which belonged to their commune and was said to be a cannery.

Since it was impossible to get so much rebar through normal channels, he sent a message to his relatives at the steel rolling mill to inquire whether he could get a batch from the steel rolling mill. Liu Guangtian overheard this news by accident, so he took the initiative to tell his co-workers that he could get it.

After the commune verified the facts, he also wrote a note. This was in case Liu Haizhong or Director Lan needed it and would take it out. It was also an explanation of the whereabouts of the Luo Xiangang, which could reassure others.

Hongqi Commune produced peaches, and Zhiqiang from the village gave them an idea, asking them to open a canning factory to prevent the peaches from rotting.

After the educated youth returned, they got an order from the glass factory specifically for them. As long as the factory was built, they could get glass bottles, which they could package and sell, thus generating income for the commune. Based on the current situation, the commune leaders thought that this could be done, so they started looking for rebar.

Liu Haizhong took the note that Liu Guangtian brought back and saw that there was no problem, and he was immediately relieved. As long as it was for public use, it was fine. He went to find Director Lan and told him about the situation. The factory happened to have a batch of rebar produced but had no orders, so he was happy that he could consume some of it here.

It could improve the factory's efficiency and also allow him to repay a favor, so there was no need to refuse such a big thing and he agreed immediately. Things went smoothly, and as soon as 100,000 tons of threaded steel were sold and the factory's debts were settled, they made 10,000 yuan based on the agreed price difference.

After tasting the sweetness, Liu Guangtian didn't want to go to work anymore. It was Liu Haizhong who disagreed with him going this time, but his heart was no longer in the factory. He was asking around for places that needed rebar.

During his breaks, he went to various factories to inquire and actually found a way. A brick factory needed five tons of rebar. With the completion of each business order, the Liu family was considered to have some wealth.

The conditions at home began to improve, and those electrical appliances that people usually didn't dare to look at were moved into the house. The Liu family's money-making business was eventually known to people in the compound, and they all wanted to know how they made the money.

As time goes by, as long as you have money, you can buy things from the commission store. Although tickets are still used, there are many products that no longer require tickets.

Money began to become important, and one had to inquire about ways to make money as soon as possible. However, the Liu family was very tight-lipped, and no useful information could be obtained.

He Yukai smiled after knowing this. Old Liu was reselling rebar! Apart from this, which was known to you by IQ, he really didn't know that there were other ways for the Liu family to make so much money in a short period of time.

The electrical appliances the Liu family bought cost several thousand dollars. Yan Bugui bought a 9-inch monitor, and Lao Liu directly bought a 19-inch monitor. Wow, it looks really luxurious to put them in their home.

This is a doable thing. Construction has slowly begun. Rebar is being used more and more. As long as it generates revenue for the factory, no one at the higher-ups will say anything even if they know about it. As long as Director Lan hands over the proceeds from the rebar to the finance department, there will be no problem.

The higher-ups don't have the energy to investigate these things now. As time goes by, their intentions have become very clear. After the second half of the year, things will be completely relaxed. By then, it will suddenly become a big construction site with construction everywhere. The trend towards marketization has become a reality.

The old chief was about to go to the south, and his application for a business license had already been submitted. His temporary supervisor told him that the first business license would definitely be his, and the second one for his private restaurant would also be his.

He applied for five licenses. As long as the business licenses were approved, the other branches would be opened one after another. The anti-electric spies in Beijing would be completely deployed, and the problem of diffusion would be left to Lou Xiao'e.

He won't have to worry about this anymore, as the pace will get faster. He just wants to get everything on track as soon as possible and start his leisurely retirement life.

Seeing that Liu Haizhong was making money, Yan Bugui could no longer sit still, but it was too difficult to do anything, so he called a meeting of the whole family to discuss this issue.

Their family must keep up with the pace of the times. The He family has already gone so far, and Liu Haizhong's family has also caught up. Their family cannot fall behind. When Liu Haizhong's big TV moved in, his small black and white TV was no longer attractive.

It is said that Liu Haizhong's TV is all in color, so Yan Bugui is not bad either, right? Now that the children are married, they should live a good life.

"This year, we called you two here, Jie Cheng and Jie Fang, to discuss what our family should do next. Now that Second Uncle's family has become wealthy, and the He family is even more so, our family also has to consider how to become wealthy. What do you think? Tell us."

"Dad, the higher-ups haven't completely relaxed the rules yet. The He family is affiliated with a steel mill. Liu Haizhong's family has connections, but our family has nothing."

"Who said we don't have it? Doesn't your wife's family have connections to a textile factory? I was thinking, how about we open a small restaurant affiliated with the textile factory?
Look at other families trying to find a solution. If we let you go, then these families in this compound will definitely leave our family far behind."

"Dad, my sister-in-law's family has this connection, but my family doesn't. Besides, I don't know if the affiliation is reliable or not. I don't know if the Liu family's is reliable. I just don't know if we can get a ride on it."

"Jiefang, I advise you to give up this unrealistic idea. If you make money, are you willing to share a piece with others? You are from the old family, why don't you ask and see if you can be affiliated with them?

If possible, let's try it in the armor store in Nanluoguxiang first. What if it works? Anyway, the investment is not much, so we can still give it a try."

"Okay, Dad, I'll go back to my parents' house and ask. We don't know the policy here, so let's find out first!"

"Okay, it's settled."

Jia family
"Alas, what about Xiaodang's job? If it doesn't work out, just find a husband and marry her off. Huairu, it's not a solution to keep dragging it on like this."

"I know, let's see first!"

Qin Huairu must have known in her heart that this was not a solution. She had already entrusted the matters of her husband's family to the matchmaker, but the matchmaker was obviously not willing to do so.

Their family's reputation had been ruined a long time ago, especially when she was on the patrol team and was too arrogant. Many people also spread rumors about her work style issues, and now the consequences have come.

He was aware of what everyone was talking about, but now that her children were implicated, she felt sad.

This was what the matchmaker said after she gave her five dollars. She could only look for a family far away and forget about living nearby. Also, rumors had already spread during the time Xiaodang had been at home.

He failed to be a good teacher and everyone is suspecting that he was fired. Think about it, can people feel positive about someone who was fired from a public institution?

But the problem is that there is no way to stay at home. I can't get my work done, and where else can I go if I don't stay at home?
