Siheyuan: He Yuzhu since 1958

Although Lou Zhenhua believed that He Yuzhu was living a good life, he did not believe that he was living a better life than his boss. Tan Lingya asked: "Xiao'e, has He Yuzhu never been married in all these years?!"

Lou Xiao'e asked: "Mom, do you still remember Zhang Ling?!"

Tan Lingya replied, "I remember! How could I not remember?!" Then she asked, "What's the matter?!"

Lou Xiao'e replied: "Sister Zhang Ling's real name is Huang Ying. She was He Yuzhu's daughter-in-law. But she died a few years ago."

Lou Zhenhua muttered to himself, "I never thought that after leaving Sijiu City, I would still have a connection with He Yuzhu's family. It seems that this is God's will!"

Tan Lingya asked: "Do they have any children?!"

"Yes! Four!" Then Lou Xiao'e told her parents what she knew. After listening to Lou Xiao'e's narration, Tan Lingya sighed. Lou Zhenhua was not as sentimental as the women. Instead, he noticed something strange and asked, "Xiao'e, you said that He Yuzhu has many houses in Sijiu City, but he still lives in the same place. Have you asked him why?!"

Lou Xiao'e snorted and said, "He's so mean! He said that unless you marry him, he will never tell you the reason."

Lou Zhenhua said: "It seems that this He Yuzhu is quite interesting!"

Lou Xiao'e continued, "Dad! This time when I returned to Sijiu City, I gained a lot. When I left, they have returned the properties that were not disposed of to us. As for the shares from the public-private partnership, except for the steel mill, which has not yet been redeemed, the rest have been compensated to us."

"Oh?!" Lou Zhenhua's eyes lit up instantly and he asked, "The houses are really returned?!"

Lou Xiao'e replied: "The small western-style building we used to live in, the Lou family's ancestral home, and a few scattered courtyard houses were all taken back. Some courtyard houses were distributed back then and turned into large compound houses. Later, He Yuzhu reminded me that during the earthquake, many houses collapsed. Many courtyard houses were abandoned. I exchanged the abandoned courtyard houses with those that were not taken back."

Lou Bingnan said, "Xiao'e, why would you want to exchange a good house for a dilapidated one?!"

Lou Zhenhua looked at Lou Bingnan, then at Lou Xiaoe, and said, "Xiaoe, tell your brother what you think!"

Lou Xiaoe said: "Brother, we have been in Hong Kong for so many years. Don't you understand? What is the most valuable thing in Hong Kong?!"

Lou Bingnan blurted out without thinking, "Land!" Then Lou Bingnan came back to his senses and said, "Little sister, do you think that the land in the mainland will be as valuable as Hong Kong City in the future?!"

Lou Xiao'e said: "The price of land in China cannot be as high as that in Hong Kong. But don't forget that the city is the best place. It is impossible not to develop. Development is inseparable from land. These may not seem valuable now, but who can predict what will happen in the future?!"

"Good! Xiao'e said it well!" Lou Zhenhua took the lead in applauding and said, "Xiao'e is still far-sighted! It's not that I look down on you brothers. All of you put together are not as good as Xiao'e." Then he looked at Lou Xiao'e and continued, "Xiao'e, come back and rest for a few days. When you have dealt with the affairs of your company, you can accompany me and your mother back to Sijiu City to have a look."

"Hey!" Lou Xiao'e agreed with a smile and said, "Dad, Mom! I'll go back to my room first."

"Go!" After Lou Zhenhua saw Lou Xiao'e off, he looked at Lou Bingnan and asked, "Bingnan, where do you think the company should go in the future?!"

Lou Bingnan said, "Dad, I have been studying the changes in the mainland for some time. In recent years, our Lou family has focused on mechanical processing and electrical manufacturing. Although we can earn considerable skills every year, after deducting miscellaneous expenses, we can only barely maintain it. I originally planned to gradually adjust the company's industrial structure starting next year. I plan to give up the mechanical processing industry and move part of the electrical manufacturing plant to the mainland to test the waters first. Then I will make other plans."

Lou Zhenhua thought for a few minutes and asked, "What is Bingyi doing now?!"

Lou Bingnan said: "Bingyi is still running his ocean-going company. But I heard that Xiao'e had a cooperative project with Bingyi before she went to the mainland, but I don't know the details."

"Second Young Master!" At this moment, the butler's voice reached the ears of Lou Zhenhua and others, and then they saw Lou Bingyi walking in from outside.

"Dad! Mom! Big brother!" After Lou Bingyi came in, he greeted everyone present and asked, "I heard Xiao'e is back, where is she?!"

Tan Lingya replied: "She is resting in the room?!" Then she asked: "What do you want to see her for?!"

Lou Bingyi replied: "Nothing! I just haven't seen her for such a long time, and I don't know how she is, so I came to see her."

Lou Zhenhua asked: "Bingyi, I heard that Xiao'e has a cooperative project with you?!"

"Yes!" Lou Bingyi answered and asked, "What's the matter?!"

Lou Bingnan explained: "My father just asked me what I was busy with recently. I just said it to him casually."

Lou Bingyi said, "Before Xiao'e went to the mainland, she bought several instant noodle production lines from the Japanese. I thought that making food would not be a loss, so I became a partner with her. Dad, you don't know. Although instant noodles are cheap, you can still make a lot of money if you increase the volume. Now our instant noodles have not only opened up the Southeast Asian market, but also the European and American markets."

Lou Zhenhua and Lou Bingnan looked at each other. Lou Bingnan was immediately embarrassed. Lou Bingyi said, "Brother, Dad used to say that we are not as good as Xiao'e, but I didn't believe it. But now I completely believe it. If you want to make money, follow Xiao'e, and you will never suffer any loss."

"Second brother!" Lou Xiao'e, who was resting in the room, heard Lou Bingyi's voice coming from downstairs. She immediately got up from the bed, walked out of the room, and shouted while standing by the guardrail.

"Xiao'e!" Lou Bingyi waved at Lou Xiao'e. Lou Xiao'e immediately ran down from upstairs and asked, "Second brother, when did you come?!"

Lou Bingyi replied, "I just arrived." He then said, "The instant noodles we produce are in short supply. Should we assemble the remaining production lines immediately?!"

Lou Xiao'e thought for a few minutes and said, "Leave me one production line and don't install it yet." Then she looked at Lou Bingnan and asked, "Brother, with your factory's capabilities, how long will it take to copy an instant noodle production line?!"

Lou Bingnan said: "We have to see how long it will take to know."

Lou Xiao'e said, "Brother, I will ask my second brother to send a production line to the factory tomorrow. Please find a way to make a few copies for me as soon as possible. If possible, when you make the copies, change the appearance without reducing the production capacity."

Lou Bingyi asked: "Little sister, why do you want to change the appearance for no reason?!"

Lou Xiao'e said: "I plan to send these production lines to the mainland and open an instant noodle factory there. This time I went back to the mainland and I had a deep impression. Now the mainland lacks everything except people. It can be said that there is gold everywhere. But there are some tricks to picking up this gold. I will tell you in detail when I find time later."

After all, it was the father who loved his daughter. Lou Zhenhua urged, "Okay! There is no end to making money. You two go back today. Come over for dinner tomorrow night. Then you can talk to Xiao'e."

"Oh!" Lou Bingnan and Lou Bingyi responded reluctantly, said goodbye to their parents and Lou Xiaoe, and left.
