A Siheyuan Home Brings Good Fortune

Chapter 227: The Yan and Liu families fall into the trap (Part )

Yan Jiecheng thought a lot and felt that his opportunity had come. The He family was making a fortune and he could help them, but they could not replicate the He family's business because of money.

He knew that Liu Haizhong's family business made a lot of money, but he also knew that he could not replicate it. Although his father taught many students, no one came to see him. He didn't know what those students were doing, and even if he knew, they couldn't do anything because they were not familiar with him.

Although Liu Haizhong is a power-hungry person, Yan Jiecheng believes that funding Director Lan to go to Saxue is the wisest thing he can do in his life. Don't you think he has already received the reward?
Look at his father again. Although he has been scheming all his life, he has only calculated small advantages. Only the calculations made by passionate people can bring big advantages.

“Don’t get excited yet. The problem is whether there is any problem with this batch of televisions. None of us knows. If there is no problem with where they came from, then of course it is a good thing. But if there is a problem with where they came from, the children are at great risk. I believe that if you take them off, you will have to go in and operate the sewing machines!
Can we just see the huge profits and ignore the risks? That's why I came to discuss it with you. At that time, I am still prepared to meet this legendary Director Li in person.

We don’t have to make money and we can still make ends meet, but we must never do anything illegal!
Our family is an honest one. If there is nothing wrong with Li Huaide, of course we should make money from him, but if there is something wrong with this person.

Then our family will be doomed, this is no joke, Jie Cheng, you must not be careless and must not be blinded by the immediate benefits.

So whether or not to do this business still needs to be decided. I called you here today to ask for your opinions.

Since you all want to do it, let's move on to the next step. Liu Haizhong said that Li Huaide has the documents. I have to see the documents in person before I can feel at ease!"

After all, Yan Bugui has experienced a lot of things, and he doesn't believe that such a good thing will be given to you. The key is that others think that Li Huaide has so many connections in Beijing, why did he give such a good business to them.

He knew very well that Liu Haizhong was in the same group with He Yukai. Although they were neutral, they were not Li Huaide's men after all. There was no reason for him to let them do the business that was sure to make money.

When things are abnormal, there must be something wrong, so he thinks it is better to be careful.

"Dad, this isn't necessary, is it? We all know Li Huaide's relationships. If he gets upset because of reading the documents, will it have a negative impact on the business?"

Yan Jiecheng has been completely blinded by interests. Seeing that Yan Bugui is still fueling the flames, he becomes a little dissatisfied. Doesn't he understand that such a good opportunity must be missed and will never come back?
Is his father really old? If he agrees to it right away, it will be bad if they delay too long and something unexpected happens.

"What do you know? Do you think Li Huaide and Liu Haizhong have a good relationship? Why give such a good thing to Liu Haizhong? Besides, good things never come late. If they are unhappy because I want to see their documents, then it's better not to do such business!
My grandson is growing up. What will happen to him if something happens to us? At least my daughter can have enough food to eat now. This matter has been settled. Before I confirm it, you are not allowed to contact the Liu family, especially you, Jie Cheng. If I know that you have contacted them privately, I would rather not do this. You can do it yourself!"

"I know, Dad. I'll listen to you!"

Yan Jiecheng didn't dare to offend Yan Bugui. If Yan Bugui didn't participate, he and Yan Jiefang didn't have that much money. Without capital, they couldn't join the partnership.

He didn't want to give up this opportunity. As long as he succeeded, he could buy an apartment and live in it instead of staying in that one room in the courtyard.

Yan Bugui was relieved when he saw Yan Jiecheng agreed. He was really afraid that this young man would make the decision on his own, and then he would not be able to bring up the formalities again.

"Old man, is this insurable?"

"Hey, is there any insurance in the world?"

"Why didn't Liu Haizhong bring the He family along? Liu Haizhong was the CCP's man who served He Yukai all those years, and the He family wasn't short of money, so wouldn't that be a better choice?"

"Haha, this is where Liu Haizhong is smart. Is Li Huaide's relationship with He Yukai better than his relationship with Liu Haizhong?"

"Of course it's He Yukai. Is there any need to say more? Their status is equal."

Although she was illiterate, she had lived with Yan Bugui for her entire life, so he certainly understood this truth.

"That's right. Liu Haizhong knows that He Yukai has a better relationship with Li Huaide, and He Yukai is not short of money. Isn't he afraid that He Yukai will abandon him and do business with Li Huaide alone?"

"Yes, the He family is not short of money or connections. Li Huaide is better off cooperating with He Yukai than Liu Haizhong. Old man, now that you put it that way, it makes sense."

Yang Ruihua is also a smart person, and she immediately understood the interests involved.

The next day, Yan Bugui replied to Liu Haizhong that he agreed to cooperate, but he still had to meet Li Huaide to review the formalities.

Yan Bugui's idea was exactly what Liu Haizhong wanted. He didn't want to be cheated. Yan Bugui was smart and would definitely find out if there was any problem, so he could stop the loss in time.

"Okay, I'll make an appointment and let you know when the time comes!"

After Liu Haizhong returned home, he asked Liu Guangtian to go and ask Li Huaide when he would be free. It would be safest to complete the transaction as soon as possible.

After receiving the notice, Li Huaide decided to meet at the private restaurant, which was the quietest place. The waiters would leave after serving the dishes, making it the best place to discuss business.

"How's it going? Are you hooked?"

“Can they really come up with that much money?”

"Haha, of course, I've inquired about it. Liu Haizhong, that idiot, took advantage of others to resell rebar and caught up with this wave of favorable conditions, making a lot of money.

The key is that he became a little arrogant after making money. He was famous throughout Nanluoguxiang and sold a lot of electrical appliances. Now he can't get rebar, so he is anxious to find new sources of income. He will not give up.

Once you have tasted the feeling of making money, you will definitely feel uncomfortable if you suddenly have no income. We are just the right place to fill in for Liu Haizhong when he loses his source of income. No problem.

As for how they sell the TVs after they get them, that is not our concern. If anything goes wrong, it has nothing to do with us, and the delivery person doesn't know us.

I have already asked someone to buy tickets for today's trip south. When the time comes, they won't have any evidence and won't be able to do anything to us."

"But we are in the capital after all. Can you guarantee that no one has seen us?"

"Leave in a few days. I will make arrangements by then. You have to hide for a few days. At least you have to get the money!"

"Row!"

That’s right, this batch of televisions that Li Huaide had were smuggled in, and the documentation was also fake. It would be fine if they weren’t discovered, but if they were discovered, they would be in big trouble.

Ho's Private Kitchen

"Zhu Zi, I saw that Li Huaide coming again"

"Just come if you want to. Have you made a reservation?"

“The Peony Box is the one they reserved.”

"Okay, let's just cook and don't ask who the guests are. The food will be ready in half an hour."

"Ok"

Lou Xiao'e's curiosity has been aroused, but seeing He Yuzhu's reaction, he didn't care at all. Lou Xiao'e couldn't help but want to see who Li Huaide was inviting to dinner again.

Just as she was about to leave the kitchen, she saw Liu Haizhong, Liu Guangtian, Yan Bugui, and Yan Jiecheng walking towards the backyard. She immediately followed them and saw Keane walking into the Peony Box through the archway in the backyard!
She was surprised to find that it was Li Huaide who personally welcomed her in. She felt it was abnormal. When did Li Huaide become so polite to Liu Haizhong? They both came from the steel mill, so they naturally knew the relationship between them. Now that Li Huaide has lost his position and Liu Haizhong and his friends have retired, there is nothing else that can make Li Huaide so polite except money.

Thinking of this, Lou Xiao'e followed them quietly, determined to find out what shameful things these people were doing.

"I didn't expect there was such a great place in Beijing. I didn't know about it after living in Beijing for so many years."

"Haha, Lao Liu, you know the boss here."

"Oh? Director Li, may I ask?"

"He Yukai from your compound is the boss here, and you didn't know that? This He Yukai is quite good at hiding his identity!"

"what?"

Several people stood up in shock. They knew that He Yukai opened four restaurants, but they didn't expect that such a large private kitchen was also owned by He Yukai. When they first saw He's private kitchen, they were still surprised, but they didn't think of He Yukai at all.

It seems that the restaurant is very profitable. This courtyard is not smaller than theirs. I didn’t expect that the quiet He Yukai actually hid it so deeply.

Liu Haizhong thought about how he had made some money and then sold his products at a discount, and wanted to show off in front of He Yukai. Now he felt embarrassed. Fortunately, He Yukai was not there that day, otherwise he would have really been a clown.

Yan Bugui was also worried. He even suspected that it was not just this private restaurant of He Yukai that they didn't know about, but there were other aspects of He Yukai that were hidden.

As the first group of people who resigned to start their own business, they knew nothing about He Yukai's background. At least Xu Damao and his wife went out early and came back late, so there was something fishy going on.

They knew about what the Nan Yi couple did in the hotel, but they had no idea what the Xu Damao couple were busy with.

Yan Jiecheng and Liu Guangtian were the most unconvinced. Why did they keep refreshing their cognition? Now that the business was over, they also wanted to do big things and make big money.

Li Huaide saw the reactions of several people and smiled slightly. He chose the meeting place here in order to take advantage of He Yukai and several others, so that they would have a great interest in money, which would be conducive to the conclusion of the business.

Although they exchanged pleasantries, all of them talked about their past experiences, and tried to build relationships, and would talk after dinner, they were not in a hurry. Whoever couldn't hold back now would be at a disadvantage.

After having a good meal and a few drinks, let’s get down to business!

"Look, this is the approval and procedures from above."

Li Huaide was very confident. If he didn't know it was fake, even he could hide it, let alone these people. How many of these people had seen the red-headed documents and the seals of their superiors? It wasn't that she looked down on these people. These people couldn't see anything that could withstand the inspection of an old cadre like him.

Yan Bugui looked at the approval and the seal carefully and confirmed that they were indeed authentic.

"Director Li, please provide us with a copy of this document. If we encounter any problems during sales, we can show it to them in time. This will be a safer option."

"Haha, no problem. I'll make three copies of the document. I'll leave one for you, one for the customs, and one for me. That's just right!"

"Hahaha, great! Did you get the contract?"

"Here it is. The seal has been revised. You can pay half of the deposit first, and then pay the other half after you get the money."

Li Huaide seemed to be very sincere, which eliminated Yan Bugui's last doubt. There were procedures, half of the deposit, and the other half would be paid after seeing the goods. The other party was very sincere. If he made any more demands, he would be ungrateful and the deal would not be done.

"I could have sold it myself, but I still have to manage the business in Hong Kong Island, so I can't stay in Beijing for a long time. After all, you guys were not my favorites back then. Such a good opportunity must be left to people I know. If Zhenghong hadn't met Lao Liu, this business would never have come to you!"

"That's right! Thank you Director Li for your support. I wish us a happy cooperation!"

"Haha, it's a pleasure working with you, let's make money together"

They were both very satisfied with each other and reached a cooperation intention. Lou Xiao'e listened to their conversation in detail. Although the courtyard house had been renovated, the sound insulation was really not very good and no good sound insulation materials were available.

After listening to their conversation, Lou Xiao'e left quickly. If he was caught eavesdropping, it would not only be embarrassing, but the reputation of the private restaurant would be ruined.

"Moth, where have you been?"

"I..."

"You're not going to eavesdrop, are you? This is against Big Brother's taboo!"

"I'm just curious! But I also heard something important, and I still have to tell my brother. Let's talk about it when we get home tonight!"

There were many people around here and Lou Xiao'e didn't want to tell others what she had heard. It would be bad if someone heard it.

Lou Xiao'e remembered that He Yukai said that Li Huaide was able to escape harm only by betraying his father-in-law and making meritorious contributions. Of course, these were just their speculations and there was no evidence. The consequences were unpredictable, so she should let He Yukai make the decision!

"Okay, I won't allow you to do that again!"

He Yuzhu looked at Lou Xiaoe helplessly. His elder brother was right. Women were really curious and good at gossiping.

After returning home in the evening, Lou Xiao'e repeated what she had heard, even not missing the smile and compliments. After she finished speaking, she looked at He Yukai.

He Yukai didn't expect that Li Huaide was still in contact with Liu Haizhong and others. He couldn't make up his mind about this matter.

Smuggling televisions is not a big deal, but selling them is a big deal, and you might end up in jail.

Even if he told the two families that this was a scam and the materials were fake, they might not believe it. But he couldn't bear to see the two old men go into the classroom, so he decided to spend the money to avoid disaster!
It is better to let someone else handle this matter, and not involve the two families. Strictly speaking, they would also be victims, and this can be considered as a lesson. Pies won't fall from the sky, and wouldn't it be better to live a down-to-earth life without learning a lesson?

When the time comes, give Director Liao a call and ask them to handle it. It would not be good if the two companies put the product up for sale and end up getting shot!

After this incident, the two families should be able to put their feet on the ground, right? It's funny that even Yan Bugui, a shrewd man, didn't find such an obvious flaw, which shows that Li Huaide is still very experienced.

"Don't worry about it. Let them do whatever they want. They are the ones who suffer. We just need to live our own lives. Don't tell anyone about this. Just pretend you don't know."

"Your eldest brother is right. In the future, stay as far away from such things as possible and don't get involved. Their affairs have nothing to do with us. We are all doing legitimate business. Just mind your own business."

"I understand, brother and sister-in-law!"

Lou Xiao'e was just curious, he didn't intend to do anything. His relationship with the two families was still okay. Although he seemed to be arrogant after making money recently, so what?
Living a good life is better than anything else. You won’t give us a share of the money you make, so it’s enough to just save face.

He Yukai weighed the pros and cons. If he told Director Liao quietly, then it would be fine. But if he ignored it, it would be a catastrophic blow to the two families. If Yi Zhonghai and the Jia family were too happy to watch the fun, the two families...
