Siheyuan: It’s so nice to be Lao Liu

The leader looked at Yan Jiefang and asked calmly, "Jiefang, what kind of wine did you bring? Why does it smell so good?"

As he spoke, he swallowed unconsciously, wishing he could taste it first.

Yan Jiefang glanced at Aunt Hong out of the corner of his eye. He couldn't tell Aunt Hong in front of her that it was Tiger Whip Wine, so he smiled and said, "Leader, this is brewed by me, with some medicinal herbs in it. How about I drink some with you at noon today?"

"No need to wait until noon, you can cook two dishes now and we can eat and chat. Anyway, I just had a bowl of porridge and I'm not full."

Although this jar of tiger whip wine was the one rewarded by the system, he had the winemaking skills and had successfully brewed it. So it didn't matter if he said he brewed it himself.

The big boss knew that Yan Jiefang must have something to tell him since he came so early in the morning, and he also wanted to taste the wine he brought as soon as possible, so he suggested that he cook now.

Yan Jiefang did not refuse and agreed: "Okay, I will fry two now, and I will need your help later."

Aunt Hong looked at the two of them and said nothing. She knew her husband had his own reasons for doing this, and she didn't intend to dissuade him. Yan Jiefang also knew where his kitchen was. After Aunt Hong said something to the two of them, she went back to her own business.

Soon, Yan Jiefang fried two side dishes and brought them to the table.

The two men sat down, and Yan Jiefang poured two glasses of tiger whip wine and placed them on the table.

Seeing that Aunt Hong had left and only he and the leader were left in the room, he didn't need to beat around the bush and picked up his wine glass and said, "Leader, this is the wine I brewed myself and soaked in tiger penis. Please have a taste."

Having said that, without waiting for the big boss's reply, he raised his glass and took a sip.

The aroma of wine filled the taste buds, making Yan Jiefang, who had tasted this wine, feel intoxicated.

Seeing this, the big boss did not hesitate to raise his glass and took a sip.

Indeed, after drinking tiger penis wine, a warm current spreads from the stomach to the whole body, making the whole body feel warm.

The big boss smacked his lips in aftertaste, looked at Yan Jiefang and said, "Jiefang, what do you want from me that I asked you to bring out such good wine?"

Yan Jiefang did not hide anything and said frankly: "Leader, I came here today to talk to you about Lou Zhenhua."

"Hmm? What's the matter with Lou Zhenhua?" the big boss asked curiously.

It was unknown whether the senior leader really didn't know or was just pretending not to know, and Yan Jiefang didn't pursue the matter. He believed that as long as he showed enough sincerity, the senior leader and the leaders above him would definitely agree, so he smiled and replied: "Lou Zhenhua wants to donate all his properties to the country. At the same time, he wants to continue to help the country and wants to go to Hong Kong to bring back foreign materials and advanced equipment."

Yan Jiefang knew that he didn't need to explain in detail, he just needed to explain his plan.

Sure enough, after hearing what Yan Jiefang said, the leader fell into deep thought.

After waiting for about a minute, the big boss raised his head and said seriously, "Lou Zhenhua is willing to donate all his assets. This shows that you have realized that the current domestic situation is quite serious and that the wind direction towards capitalists has gradually become strict. It is better to donate it."

Then he said with a hint of regret: "To be honest, since a few years ago, the higher-ups have been thinking about whether they can send people to Hong Kong to transport advanced equipment and food to China, but they were killed not long after. Many batches were taken, and the result was the same."

"Hong Kong is in such chaos that if we send someone there, we won't be able to do anything. We won't know what's going on. If Lou Zhenhua goes there, the result won't be optimistic."

Yan Jiefang had never thought that the higher-ups had actually sent people to Hong Kong, but then he thought, could the people sent by the higher-ups be officials?

So he couldn't help but ask, "Leader, aren't the people sent there officials? Will they just spend money to buy equipment there?"

The senior leader, who was still feeling regretful, was also stunned when he heard Yan Jiefang's words. Although he didn't know whether they would directly find someone to buy equipment after they arrived, it was indeed as Yan Jiefang had guessed, they were indeed some officials.

As if he had thought of something, he asked, "They are indeed officials. Do you mean that they are too ostentatious and exposed?"

Yan Jiefang curled his lips and said unhappily, "These officials don't know how to adapt at all. What's the difference between them going to Hong Kong and bumpkins going to the city? And they don't know how to adapt. If the local hooligans come to cause trouble, how do you think these officials will react? There is no doubt that they will fight against those hooligans."

As Yan Jiefang spoke, the big boss nodded. The information reported by his subordinates was almost the same as what Yan Jiefang said.

Seeing the leader nodding, Yan Jiefang knew that what he said was correct, so he continued boldly: "The hooligans over there are all protected by gangs. If you piss them off, they will keep an eye on you every day. If you go there, let's not talk about whether you can find a way to buy equipment. Even if you are lucky enough to buy the equipment and offend the local tyrants, how will you transport the equipment back?"

After talking about the shortcomings of those who went to Hong Kong, Yan Jiefang changed the subject and said, "It would be different if Lou Zhenhua went there. He has old friends there. Although he is not doing well, at least he has connections. He can help settle down there and not be targeted like the people you sent over here."

"Lou Zhenhua is a businessman. He can do his old job in the early stage and build up his business. It's not too much to set up a machinery factory, right? Now that he has his own factory, he wants to expand it. No one will say anything if he buys a few advanced equipment, right? We secretly transport the equipment back here, and then report it there. If it was stolen in the middle of the journey, it's reasonable to buy a few more to use, right?"

"Let's talk about daily necessities. If we set up a few markets there, no one can check the quantity of materials coming in and out. If we send some back halfway, it won't attract anyone's attention. Anyway, it's all Lou Zhenhua's own money, and no one will specifically supervise these."

"I just wonder, how could such a simple thing fail?"

Yan Jiefang asked one question after another. Seeing how easily he said it, the big leader's mouth twitched, as if things were really as easy as he said.

But it is not that easy to implement in practice. Let’s not talk about other things. Just take the last step. Without Yan Jiefang’s help, it would be quite difficult to transport the goods back from Hong Kong.

However, under Yan Jiefang's deception, the top leader has begun to doubt whether the officials he sent out were too incompetent and failed to find the loopholes in Yan Jiefang's words.
