Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Wealth and honor without returning home are like wearing brocade at night.

This is a deep-seated obsession ingrained in the Chinese people.

Liu Haizhong is no exception.

Although he didn't leave home, now that he had money, he really wanted to show it off.

Unfortunately, the environment is different now than before. Even a large-scale meeting in the courtyard house is no longer possible, denying him the opportunity to show off.

This is the most annoying thing about bangs.

Liu Haizhong really wanted to show off, so even though he knew that Yi Zhonghai and his companion were there to take advantage of him, he still let them sit down.

"You've come at the perfect time. Take a look at my family's New Year's Eve dinner. These two rascals are quite filial; they've prepared a lot of delicious food for me."

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui were both extremely displeased.

They are already worried about their retirement, and Liu Haizhong's actions are just adding to their troubles.
Neither of them dared to storm off, and they tacitly pretended not to understand.

Yi Zhonghai is the most narrow-minded; it takes him a long time to suppress his displeasure.

Yan Bugui was much quicker, turning around and laughing: "Your family is well-off, you're rich, of course you can get good stuff."

Liu Haizhong had no idea of ​​the displeasure these two were feeling. After hearing Yan Bugui's words, he also laughed: "It's just so-so."

"I've been in business for a long time; if your business takes off, it'll definitely be just as good."

He was just being polite, saying that he liked making money, and if he said the same thing to Yan Bugui and Yan Bugui, they would be happy.

Normally, Yan Bugui and his companion would be happy, since everyone likes to be praised for their ability to make money.

But this is a courtyard house; the skill to get something for nothing isn't about making money.

Yan Bugui kept talking about shrewdness, and he would say every day that you won't get poor from eating or wearing clothes, but you will get poor if you don't shrewdly plan.

To put it bluntly, it's about getting something for free.

He was still willing to pay a little price.

Yi Zhonghai has absolutely no intention of making any sacrifices. If he wants someone to support him in his old age, he must find someone who raised him as a son.

After finding the person, he didn't even think about paying; instead, he wanted to find a sucker to pay for him.

He only wants to talk; he's not willing to put in any effort.

Yi Zhonghai was provoked twice, both times by the bangs that he looked down on.

He could no longer contain his anger: "No matter how much money you make, if you're not filial, you're still a beast."

Liu Haizhong was immediately displeased: "Old Yi, it's the New Year, what have I done to offend you? You come to my house and start cursing, what do you want to do?"

Fearing that the two would start arguing and delay their meal, Yan Bugui quickly tried to mediate.

"Old Liu, don't be angry. Old Yi is talking about Sha Zhu. Sha Zhu is making so much money now, but he won't even come back for the New Year."

He was just angry that Sha Zhu was unfilial.

"Old Yi, don't you think so?"

Yi Zhonghai did not deny this. His words just now were directed at the Liu family, but even more so at He Yuzhu.

He needs the Liu family children to be unfilial. If the Liu brothers actually became filial, he would have trouble sleeping.

Seeing Yan Bugui constantly giving him meaningful glances, Yi Zhonghai was also worried that Liu Haizhong might become alert, so he went along with Yan Bugui's words and said, "I was just talking about Sha Zhu."

He's a big boss now, and he's turned his back on people.

His ancestral home is still in our yard, and he never even comes back to visit.

Liu Haizhong is simple-minded; seeing that Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui both said so, he believed them.

He also harbored resentment towards He Yuzhu and joined in gossiping about him.

"Who says otherwise? Old He is the same. He's so rich, but he never treats us old friends to a nice meal."

He wasn't like this before. Back when the People's Republic was first established, Old He was so generous.

Yi Zhonghai's face darkened again. He realized he couldn't talk to anyone.

Everyone stabbed him in the chest.

Yan Bugui was quick-witted and didn't want to talk about that, so he changed the subject.

"Old Liu, tell me, how much money did you make this year?"

Liu Haizhong smiled mysteriously: "I didn't make much." Yan Bugui pointed at him and said: "You're still keeping it a secret from me? Fine, if you don't tell me, I won't ask."

I heard that your business is all run by your family members, and Xu Damao doesn't care at all.

"So, are you still going to split the profits with him?"

Liu Haizhong's spirits dampened considerably: "The company belongs to both of us. He'll definitely get a share of the profits."

Yi Zhonghai said with a mocking tone, "Are you stupid? Why would you share the money you worked so hard to earn with Xu Damao?"

He does nothing and just takes money from you. Isn't that making you work for him?

Liu Haizhong said helplessly, "That's how the contract was signed when the company was established. What am I supposed to do?"

Yi Zhonghai is just good at talking; when it comes to actually coming up with a solution, he really can't.

Yan Bugui was shrewd and often pondered this matter.

His previous idea was how to get Liu Haizhong and Xu Damao to agree to give him some shares.

After many attempts, Liu Haizhong and Xu Damao still refused.

He was not one to give up easily. After thinking about it for a while, Yan Bugui came up with a great idea.

"Old Liu, I have an idea. Would you like to hear it?"

"Go on," Liu Haizhong asked.

Yan Bugui held up three fingers: "I'll give you an idea. You should split the business with Xu Damao, and you have to give me 30% of the shares."

When the topic of doing business came up, Liu Haizhong was no longer stupid: "Then you'd better not say anything. I don't even know if your plan will work, yet you want to take 30% of my shares."

"Do you think I'm a fool?"

Yan Bugui nodded subconsciously, but quickly realized what he meant and shook his head.

"Selling braised meat lately has made my back and neck ache."

Fortunately, he reacted quickly and didn't let Liu Haizhong notice.

"If my method doesn't work, I don't want any shares at all."

Liu Haizhong then asked, "What exactly is your method?"

Yan Bugui said smugly, "You can register a new company instead of the current one."

In this way, the money you earn in the future will belong to another company.

Since Xu Damao doesn't own any shares in that company, he has no reason to take a cut of your money.

You say it is not. "

Liu Haizhong's eyes lit up: "Old Yan, you're so cunning! How come I didn't think of that?"

Yan Bugui's expression turned sour for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal.

"How about it? Will my idea work? If you re-register the company, you must give me a portion of the shares."

Just as Liu Haizhong was about to agree, Liu Guangtian stepped forward and said, "This method won't work."

Yan Bugui became anxious: "Why can't it be done?"

Liu Haizhong also wanted to know; to be honest, he had really been tempted just now.

Liu Guangtian gave Liu Haizhong a wink before saying, "Dad, the bosses who buy our steel have a very good relationship with Xu Damao."

If you do this, what if Xu Damao finds out and stops them from buying our steel?
Also, Xu Damao has a very good relationship with the leaders of the rebar plant.

He even gave gifts to those people before the Lunar New Year. He had a good relationship with those people.

What if those people try to trip us up when we're hauling goods?

Liu Guangfu chimed in, "Second Brother is right. Even though we have Director Lan's notes, if we don't treat those people well, they can still cause us trouble."

You forgot? A while ago, the warehouse clerk at the factory was causing trouble for us with the rebar, almost delaying Manager Niu's project schedule.

It was only after Xu Damao intervened that the goods were shipped out of the factory on time.

Liu Haizhong calmed down immediately. He wasn't exactly a novice in the business world.

He knew that his two sons were right.

"Forget it. Old Yan, don't mention it." (End of Chapter)
