Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

They felt uneasy as long as He Yuzhu was doing well. Especially if He Yuzhu was doing well but didn't include them, they felt even more uncomfortable.

No matter how uncomfortable they felt, that was that. They couldn't even see He Yuzhu, so they could only suppress their discomfort.

As for going to the restaurant, whether they could see He Yuzhu or not, they didn't dare to cause trouble.

Their so-called justice is just something they do in the courtyard house.

Once they stepped out of the courtyard house, they knew it wouldn't work.

Qin Huairu was sad at home for a while, but then she stopped being sad.

If I stay upset any longer, I won't be able to do business today.

With only a few days left until the Lunar New Year, people have more money in their pockets, so more people are buying meat, and their business is much better than usual.

Ma Hua told He Yuzhu the news as soon as he got to work.

He Yuzhu wasn't surprised at all, nor did he take it seriously. He was very busy right now and had no energy to pay attention to the courtyard house.

With the Chinese New Year approaching, construction work has mostly stopped. He Yuzhu arranged for Miao Jianye and some security guards to keep an eye on the site.

"Jianye, I'll be troubling you during this time. The food I brought back for you is in the car."

Give some to the security guards, and the rest can be your food.

These items were specially taken out of the space by He Yuzhu.

There will be at least half a month between now and the start of construction at the site.

There were a lot of materials, equipment, and electrical cables on the construction site.

With no one around for so long, these things might not even survive in the end.

He Yuzhu hired several local thugs as security guards, intending to use them to feed their ill-gotten gains.

Once these local bullies are dealt with, there shouldn't be any major problems.

Miao Jianye was aware of all this and made a guarantee to He Yuzhu.

"Brother Zhu, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of these things."

My wife and I have agreed that I will rest at the construction site during the Chinese New Year holiday.

He Yuzhu had meant the same thing: "That's good. Please eat as much of this as you like. I'll bring you more when you're done."

Miao Jianye instructed people to move the things downstairs and also to prepare food.

"Brother Zhu, there's something I'd like to ask you."

"You said."

"If construction starts next year, can I go back to my hometown and find some people to come over?"

As you know, we're all from rural areas, and they also want to come out and work.

He Yuzhu was already looking to hire people, so he naturally wouldn't refuse: "No problem. We were going to hire people anyway after the factory was built."

By the way, the construction work at the site should be done by Xu Damao.

When you meet Xu Damao, tell him that you can let someone work for him first.

"Once the factory is built and the equipment is purchased, your fellow villagers can either work there or continue working for Xu Damao."

Miao Jianye thanked He Yuzhu with great gratitude.

He Yuzhu said not to worry about it.

He built the factory here for two purposes. One was to open the factory, which was a short-term goal.

What is Dongzhimen? It's the city center of Beijing.

Once the area develops further, it will no longer be suitable for building factories.

He Yuzhu's real goal was this piece of land. He wanted to secure it while development was still in the background.

Once his business develops, whether he builds commercial buildings or residential communities on this land, the profits will be considerable.

The latter objective was He Yuzhu's true objective.

He plans to gradually acquire some land over the next few years.

After arranging things at the construction site, He Yuzhu took some time to visit the home of a high-ranking leader.

The higher-ups helped him a lot to buy this land.

The senior leader was quite pleased to see He Yuzhu: "Zhuzi, it's been a long time since you've come to visit me."

He Yuzhu quickly apologized, "I'm so sorry. I've been too busy lately."

The high-ranking leader smiled and said, "It's nothing, I was just saying. I heard you set up a laboratory, what's it for?"

He Yuzhu didn't hide anything and told the senior leader about his thoughts.

The top leader, who works in industry, is very knowledgeable about these things: "I've heard about electric bicycles. But they're not selling very well in Shanghai."

Are you sure? "

He Yuzhu said, "The main reason why electric bicycles are not selling well is the problem of battery life."

I have already developed a lot of technology and will soon be able to solve the battery life problem.

Once the range issue is resolved, electric vehicles will no longer have these problems.

The top leader smiled and shook his head: "You've forgotten one thing. Electricity is indeed cheaper than oil, but our country doesn't have enough electricity. With more electric vehicles, charging will also be a problem."

He Yuzhu had naturally considered this issue.

In that era, many power projects were not built for later generations, and power outages occurred frequently.

But no matter how insufficient the power supply is, it will not affect the city.

In big cities, electric vehicles have a certain market.

Moreover, besides the domestic market, there's also the international market; that's where the real big market is.

The market may not be as big as it was later, but it's big enough.

Moreover, He Yuzhu doesn't make money entirely from electric vehicles.

Battery technology has many applications, including transportation, communications, power, and even military fields.

The patents that He Yuzhu holds are the most profitable assets.

He Yuzhu trusted the top leader a lot, so he shared his thoughts.

The senior leader looked at He Yuzhu in surprise: "You even know about patents. It seems I underestimated you before."

But your skills are really that amazing.

He Yuzhu said confidently, "Of course, without this advanced technology, I wouldn't dare to step into this industry."

I have already developed the initial prototypes of the four core components of an electric vehicle.

It's about ten years ahead of current technology.

The top leader had a sudden inspiration: "Is your technology really that advanced? Could we let domestic companies use it?"

He Yuzhu said, "Of course we can use it. We need to discuss the specifics."

I have a plan to build a battery factory. Whether it will be a sole proprietorship or a joint venture, I haven't decided yet.

The top leader said directly, "I don't think sole proprietorship is appropriate."

Our country has two large battery factories, Shenyang and Shanghai.

They have experience, factory facilities and equipment, and skilled workers.

Working with them will save you a lot of trouble.

He Yuzhu gently shook his head: "I know everything you're saying. To be honest, I'm also envious of those workers."

However, there is a problem: the bureaucratic atmosphere within the company is too strong, which seriously hinders the factory's development.

Moreover, in a joint venture, who would take the lion's share?

The top leader couldn't answer that question. As a leader of a ministry, he knew the leaders of state-owned enterprises very well.

It's easy to solve leadership issues, but shareholding issues are much more difficult.

"Alright, let's not talk about this for now. You have to cook me a good meal to satisfy my craving."

"I haven't had your cooking in so long."

He Yuzhu said, "You can go to my restaurant. I usually spend most of my time in the lab next door."

"If you come, I'll definitely put down what I'm doing and cook for you."

The leader's wife walked in: "Zhu Zi, you don't know, he was sick a few days ago. He couldn't go out."

He Yuzhu quickly asked what happened.

Logically speaking, since He Yuzhu cooked several dishes for the high-ranking leader using the spiritual spring water, the leader's health should not be a major problem.

The senior leader laughed and said, "Don't listen to her. I just caught a chill after working overtime for several days in a row." (End of Chapter)
