Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

There was a reason why Liu Haizhong followed Xu Damao.

Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu went out and saw Xu Damao get into He Yuzhu's car. The two drove off.

Suspecting a conspiracy, the two secretly inquired with Liu Lan.

Liu Lan just can't keep her mouth shut about certain things.

The news that He Yuzhu was going to open a factory and have Xu Damao work there was leaked.

Of course, this isn't exactly a secret; if it were, Liu Lan wouldn't know.

The only difference is how long they can keep it a secret from the courtyard house.

When the two returned, they also learned that He Yuzhu had brought Xu Damao back.

When they got home, they told Liu Haizhong about their guess.

Liu Haizhong wasn't stupid; he knew that doing construction work was much more profitable than reselling those steel bars.

He came out specifically to find Xu Damao.

Once inside Xu Damao's house, Liu Haizhong asked, "Damao, I heard you took over Shazhu's project."

Xu Damao was taken aback, not expecting Liu Haizhong to know. He had assumed Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui had found out first.

"Who did you listen to?"

Liu Haizhong said, "Guangtian and Guangfu found out from outside."

Xu Damao said "Oh" and then said, "Actually, I didn't answer the call. It was a friend of mine. I just helped to make the connection."

I'm all alone now, I have no qualifications, and I don't have any connections. Even if you gave it to me, I couldn't do it.

Liu Haizhong thought about it and realized that it made sense. He himself didn't have the ability to do such a big job, so why should Xu Damao have the ability?

"Is that how it is? Which of your friends does this job?"

"It's Lao Gao, the one who came to us last September to buy steel bars."

Didn't you say he had no tact and that you didn't want to talk to him?

Liu Haizhong pursed his lips: "You mean him? How did you end up working with him?"

He doesn't know how to respect his elders.

Xu Damao was too lazy to listen to this. That time when he did business with Lao Gao, Liu Haizhong seemed to have some kind of illness; he found fault with everything and insisted on putting on airs like an elder.

Why should business owners outside treat you like a servant when they're paying for your products?

If you were someone of high status, that would be one thing. But you happen to have no status at all.

Later, Xu Damao used his connections to get some materials for Lao Gao, which helped maintain the relationship.

Xu Damao was doing business behind Liu Haizhong's back; those who didn't get along with Liu Haizhong were his business partners.

"Uncle Liu, you must not have any contact with Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui."

When you're out doing business, everyone is equal. Who's going to give you that "respect for elders" nonsense?

There are plenty of rebar sellers out there, why would they claim an ancestor for themselves?

If you keep doing this, your business will definitely not last long.

Liu Haizhong looked a little embarrassed. Actually, he regretted it after that day.

But that's not his fault. The night before, Yi Zhonghai had explained the theory of respecting and caring for the elderly to him.

He used it unconsciously.

“You’re right. I don’t have any contact with either of them anymore.”

The fact that Xu Damao wasn't in the courtyard on New Year's Eve doesn't mean he was unaware of what was happening there.

Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui went to Liu Haizhong's house and had a good drink. I heard that Yan Bugui was so drunk that he couldn't even walk.

As everyone knows, when Yan Bugui attends a banquet, the first thing he does is eat meat, then vegetables and rice, and finally, he drinks alcohol.

There's only one reason why Yan Bugui would drink: there's too much food, and he drinks more in order to eat more.

Xu Damao didn't dismantle it, and said to Liu Haizhong, "Don't worry, I've already negotiated with Lao Gao. He wants all the steel bars you have."

"This business belongs to both of us, so I'll definitely take it seriously."

Liu Haizhong didn't come here for the money from the steel bars. He had no shortage of buyers for the steel bars he had, and he could sell them even without Lao Gao's help.

His real purpose was to get involved in the project.

You can't make much money just by selling a steel bar.

There's a huge supply of steel bars on the market now, and many factories have added production lines. This has driven down steel bar prices, resulting in lower profit margins.

The Liu family urgently needs a new way to make money.

Given the abilities of the Liu family father and son, they couldn't find such a way.

That's why they set their sights on Xu Damao.

“Da Mao, this job belongs to Sha Zhu. You’re on good terms with him. Could you talk to him and ask him to give this job to us?”

Xu Damao chuckled: "You keep calling him 'Silly Zhu,' do you think he'll give it to you?"

“I can change how I address him. Besides, this is how we address each other in private. If you don’t say anything and I don’t say anything, how would he know?” Liu Haizhong argued.

Xu Damao continued to smile without saying a word.

Who can be fooled by such self-deception?

He Yuzhu didn't say anything because he was too lazy to argue with Yi Zhonghai and the others.

Not saying anything doesn't mean they don't know.

Ever since He Yuzhu became successful, everyone in the courtyard has started to change how they address him.

Only Yi Zhonghai and a few others were not prepared to change their tune. Seeing that He Yuzhu was not living in the courtyard, they made a big show of it in the courtyard.

They were taught a lesson by the MCA, but they still haven't learned their lesson.

Liu Haizhong gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, starting today, I will change how I address him and will never call him by his nickname again."

Talk to him and ask him to let us take over the project.

Xu Damao shook his head: "Don't even think about it. Even if we had it, we couldn't do it."

Do you have the necessary construction qualifications? Do you have the manpower? Do you have the machinery and equipment, and are you skilled in construction?

Liu Haizhong said with great distress, "Are you stupid? If we can't do it, plenty of others can. We take it for a million, then subcontract it to someone else for 900,000, and we make a net profit of 100,000."

"You've been to quite a few construction sites, how could you forget about subcontracting?"

Xu Damao glanced at Liu Haizhong in surprise, surprised that he knew about the subcontracting.

He still shook his head.

He Yuzhu isn't stupid; why should he let them subcontract the work?

Xu Damao had considered the idea of ​​subcontracting before, but He Yuzhu disagreed, so he partnered with Lao Gao.

If it weren't for this reason, he wouldn't be partnering with Lao Gao; he would be subcontracting the work to Lao Gao.

"Stop dreaming. He Yuzhu has hired several people specifically to oversee the quality of the project."

Your method simply won't work.

He Yuzhu originally wanted to find a supervisor, but after inquiring, he learned that there was no supervisory system in China at that time.

Without a supervisor, He Yuzhu specifically hired several top technical experts from the construction company to take charge of the matter.

Liu Haizhong looked somewhat skeptical: "You're not lying to me, are you?"

Xu Damao said, "Why would I lie to you? Don't forget, you and He Yuzhu don't get along."

If you really get involved, he'll definitely find an excuse to make things difficult for you. You'd better not get involved.

Liu Haizhong was no match for Xu Damao. After being fooled by Xu Damao for a few words, he went back.

The whole family was waiting for him. When he came in, they quickly asked, "Well, did Xu Damao agree?"

Liu Haizhong shook his head helplessly: "It won't work. Xu Damao said it's stupid... no, it's He Yuzhu. He said He Yuzhu won't agree."

Oh, and I'm reminding you guys, from now on, whether in private or in public, you absolutely cannot call him "Silly Zhu" anymore.

“Why? I’m used to calling him that.” Auntie Er was the first to disagree.

Liu Haizhong snorted: "That's because he didn't slap you hard enough."

Let him slap you a few times, and you'll behave.

Do you know how stupid you are...? He Yuzhu is making money, so why is he ignoring you?

It's because you guys call him by his nickname behind his back.

Look at Wu Tiezhu's family and Miao Jianye's family, see how they address He Yuzhu.

His two daughters-in-law work for He Yuzhu, where they earn high salaries and enjoy good benefits.
