Siheyuan: Pretend to be a Pig and Eat the Tiger

Prejudice in people's hearts is a mountain that is not easily overcome. Xu Damao has never really looked down on the profession of cook.

He believed that cooks were servants and that He Yuzhu was incapable of offering any advice—this was Xu Damao's conviction!

"Foolish! How could you take He Yuzhu, who became the first person to open a private restaurant, lightly? Da Mao, if you still look at Zhuzi with the same perspective you had twenty years ago, you'll never beat him in this lifetime. Think about it!"

Xu Fugui really didn't want to say anything more. Didn't He Yuzhu's ability speak for itself? The first restaurant, huh?

Why did only Zhu Zi emerge victorious from among the many hidden talents in Beijing? It wasn't just the support of powerful figures; the biggest factor was likely his vision. Otherwise, why didn't he seize the opportunity among so many second-generation rich kids in the capital?

Xu Damao was stunned. They all grew up in the same compound, so who didn't know who? Wasn't He's Restaurant just a matter of luck?

At this time, He Yuzhu was unaware of the discussion between Xu Damao and his son. It was already very late when he got home, so he was unaware that the news about He's Restaurant had spread and caused controversy.
He was thinking about houses. It's been 78 years already. In another two years, real estate transactions will gradually become more normalized, and then it will be too late to find bargains. How could he let go of such a good opportunity?
Real estate occupies a large part of his plan. If he misses such a great opportunity to get a bargain, wouldn't he have lived in vain?
Soon the old man will begin planning, reform and opening up will become the mainstream, development will become an eternal topic, and with economic development, real estate prices in Beijing will rise to a daunting level.

How did Superman manage to rise to that level? Wasn't it all thanks to his real estate empire? In this life, the so-called Superman Li must conquer the Ho family; this is his initial plan.

Once he completes some of his plans, he will have enough strength to go toe-to-toe with Li Ka-shing. This is a pre-established plan, and there will be no hesitation whatsoever!
Han Chunming has now become He Yuzhu's personal real estate agent, going door-to-door asking about buying houses, and the results are quite remarkable.
Of course, these are still in the planning stage. Later, local governments will use land to boost GDP, and that will be when the real estate market begins.
"Brother Mao, the family has given us orders. We must find a way to shut down He's Restaurant, and we have to do it within half a month!"

At this moment, four young people were gathered together in a large compound in Beijing, discussing the He's Restaurant. They had grown up in the same compound and had a good relationship since childhood, so they spoke without any reservations!
"He's Restaurant? Sorry, I won't participate!"

Mao, expressionless, said, "Are you kidding me? What does your family's talk have to do with Grandpa? I want to do business with them too!"

"I have something to do, buddy, I'll be going now, sorry!"

Yang Huajian was even more direct. They were no longer childhood friends; their words and actions represented the family's inclinations, so they dared not interfere!
"Brother Dong, this..."

"What? You want to leave too?"

Dong Yong's face was quite grim. Two of the four people left at once, which meant that Mao's and Yang Huajian's elders had made their decision.
"No, no, I'll stand by Brother Dong through thick and thin. My family has taken care of things!"

Chen Yongsai immediately shook his head. Since his elders and Dong Yong were on the same page, he naturally had to follow Dong Yong. However, with Mao Ditu and Yang Huajian not participating, their strength was greatly reduced!
"That's more like it. Let's go find a place to discuss how to deal with the unorthodox He's Restaurant!"

Dong Yong stared intently at the map and the place where Yang Huajian had disappeared. From this day forward, they would go their separate ways, becoming either friends or enemies.
The adult world has lost the simple friendships of childhood; it's now just about pure self-interest. At this level, it's all about naked self-interest, nothing more!
"Yang Huajian, your company hasn't released any information yet, right? Why are you replying so quickly..."

"Hehe, my cousin said that what happens at He's Restaurant is what happens to my family. In other words, I have no choice, you understand!"

Yang Huajian is not the eldest grandson of the family, but his cousin is the rightful head of the Yang family. No matter what, he has to support him!
"I see. I heard your cousin went to the Ministry of Commerce. That's..." "Hehe, my cousin went to Dongzhaitang right after graduation. It was arranged by our elders!"

Yang Huajian chuckled. The elders always seem to be ahead of them. If his cousin hadn't gone to the countryside, he might have been caught in the crossfire!
"I see!"

Mao Tushi let out a sigh of relief. His older brother had gone to the army. It seemed that many people went to the countryside or the army to avoid special periods and prevent their younger generations from going astray!

"I can't say anymore, I have to go back to find my cousin. The Dong family and the Chen family are preparing to target the He family restaurant. I need to see what my cousin is planning!"

Yang Huajian chuckled. His cousin told him to keep an eye on He's Restaurant, as he would need his cousin's support in the future, and that important matters needed to be reported!
At this moment, He Yuzhu was unaware that someone had already set their sights on He's Restaurant. He was staring blankly at the two-story building in front of him!

"Master, what do you think of this house? The owner wants to sell it to the US; he only wants two thousand. What do you think..."

Han Chunming looked at He Yuzhu expectantly. As long as he completed the task, he would be able to get a discount. He wondered if it would meet his master's expectations!
"Hmm, not bad. Do you have the house deed and land deed? All the paperwork needs to be complete. We also need to go to the local street office to complete the paperwork. There's no room for negotiation on that!"

Upon hearing about going to the United States, He Yuzhu instinctively frowned. If there were any problems with the procedures, it would affect not only the house but also the business.

The biggest taboo when opening a restaurant is changing locations; otherwise, there would be no need to go to such lengths to buy a place, as renting is not that difficult!

"Master, you can rest assured that I'll handle things properly. All the paperwork will be in order, and I've already spoken to the neighborhood committee. I can take the shop as soon as I pay!"

Han Chunming had already thought of this. The IOU and debt settlement document were already written. Once the transaction was completed, he could go directly to handle the formalities and finish everything in one go!

At that time, housing transaction policies had not yet been implemented, so direct transactions were not allowed; the only way to transfer ownership was through methods such as debt settlement.

"Alright, then there's no problem. Let's go!"

With all the necessary permits and a good location, He Yuzhu was naturally willing. Although it was only two floors, opening a branch wouldn't be a problem!
"Master, this is the landlord. He's asking for two thousand yuan, cash!"

Han Chunming led He Yuzhu to a large courtyard, introduced him, and then stepped aside.
"Sir, the house is fine, but I only have 1,500 in cash. If you're willing, we can make the deal; otherwise, you'll have to find someone else. I won't take up any more of your time!"

The buyer makes an offer, the seller counters. Although He Yuzhu is rich, he is not stupid. He can't just ask for as much money as you want!
"Sir, two thousand is the lowest price. It's a bit unreasonable for you to bargain any further."

The landlord looked very unhappy. (End of Chapter)
