Siheyuan: He Yuzhu since 1958

Time soon arrived at the end of July. At this time, the Lou family villa in Gangcheng was very lively. That's right! Not only He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e were there, but also Lou Zhenhua and his wife, He Bing and his family, and He Yushui's family. Of course, He Yuzhu's master and his wife were also there.

He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e stood on the balcony, watching the children downstairs having a barbecue on the lawn. Lou Xiao'e unconsciously snuggled into He Yuzhu's arms and said with a smile: "This is the life I want."

He Yuzhu said: "In a few years, we will retire. By then, let He Bing and his family get married early and have a bunch of children for us to play with."

"Puchi!" Lou Xiao'e couldn't help laughing when she heard what He Yuzhu said, and said, "How can you be like this?! Your grandchildren are not your toys."

He Yuzhu said: "You don't understand now. You will understand later."

Lou Xiaoe said: "I want to wait for He Bing to graduate from university and have him come to Hong Kong City University to study for a master's degree. Then I want him to join the company to learn. After a few years, I will hand over the company to him."

He Yuzhu said, "There's no rush. We're still young anyway. Let's wait a few years before we talk about it! Right now, these four guys haven't made up their minds yet. It's hard to say what will happen to them in the future."

"What are you two talking about?!" Lou Bingnan and Lou Bingyi appeared behind He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e. He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e came to their senses and shouted in unison: "Big brother! Second brother!"

Lou Bingyi said, "Zhu Zi, the Bao family wants to acquire my shipping company. I am still hesitant. Dad asked me to hear your opinion."

He Yuzhu asked: "Second brother, how many ships does your shipping company have now?!"

Lou Bingyi replied: "There are not many ships, about 30 in total, large and small. However, there are two large ocean-going cargo ships that were just launched this year."

He Yuzhu then asked: "How much profit does your shipping company make now?!"

Lou Bingyi replied: "The annual profit is only 30 to 40 million. To be honest, it's not as good as the instant noodle business that Xiao'e and I do together."

He Yuzhu said: "If I were you, I would split the shipping company into two. All the old ships would be sold to the Bao family. Only a few new ships would be kept."

Lou Bingnan asked in confusion: "Zhu Zi, if you want to sell it, just sell it together. Why do you want to keep it?!"

He Yuzhu asked, "Who does your company rely on to ship goods to Southeast Asia? If you sell all the ships, will you have to find someone else to ship goods in the future? How will you control the cost then? Besides, the Lou family has a good relationship with the mainland now. What if the mainland needs the Lou family's help one day? Is it more convenient for you to find someone else or do it yourself?!"

Lou Bingnan replied: "Of course it is convenient because I have talent."

He Yuzhu continued, "The country is now on the fast track of economic development. It can be said that there is gold and opportunities everywhere. But opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. In addition, the country is in great need of ships, especially for the military. The ships are old and the technology is backward. We can find a domestic shipyard to maintain and repair the ships. As for how to negotiate, you two don't need me to teach you, right?!"

Lou Bingnan laughed and said, "Zhu Zi, luckily you are our brother-in-law. If you were someone from the other family, our Lou family would have a hard time in the future. We might have to give up our business in Hong Kong and return to the mainland to develop."

He Yuzhu said: "I heard from the senior leader that the chief designer has decided to take back the port city. It is impossible to rent the port city to the foreigners anymore."

Lou Bingyi said, "If this news gets out, Gangcheng's stock price will definitely plummet, and the property market may even collapse." Then Lou Bingyi reacted and said, "No wonder your company's funds have not moved. So you are waiting for an opportunity to buy the bottom of Gangcheng's property market?!"

He Yuzhu smiled and replied, "Second brother, you are very quick-witted! That's right! Xiao'e and I are planning this. I didn't get the bonus in the 1970s. But I will definitely not miss the bonus this time."

Lou Bingnan said, "My father used to be known as Lou Bancheng. It seems that this title will be inherited by you, the son-in-law."

He Yuzhu said hurriedly, "You can't say that. Back then, my father was known as Loubancheng because almost half of the people depended on the Lou family for a living. Compared to my father now, I am nothing. It's not even worth mentioning."

Lou Xiaoe asked: "Brother, has your company's crisis been resolved?!"

Lou Bingnan said: "Since you injected capital, the pressure on my side has been much less. In the past few months, the debts owed have been repaid one after another. The company's crisis has been resolved."

Lou Xiao'e said, "Brother, don't rush to pay back the money. Leave it with you as a reserve fund."

Lou Bingnan was stunned. He had never expected Lou Xiaoe to say that. Lou Bingnan unconsciously looked at He Yuzhu beside him. He Yuzhu said, "Brother, if you are worried, just consider it as our investment. You give us some stocks and then give us dividends at the end of the year."

Lou Bingnan agreed without thinking, "Okay! I can't even ask for such a good thing. Here, Xiao'e! I'll give you 15% of the shares."

He Yuzhu thought about it and said, "Brother, if you give us 15% of the shares, wouldn't that be a big loss for you?!"

Lou Bingnan said: "The extra is my dowry for Xiao'e!"

He Yuzhu and Lou Bingyi both gave Lou Bingnan a thumbs up. Lou Xiaoe said, "Brother, since you gave it to me, I'll take it. But I'll only participate in the dividends, and I won't care about other things."

Lou Bingyi smiled and said, "Xiao'e, you invest in my brother's company. You can't be partial to one and ignore the other, right?! How about I split up the shipping company and we start a new shipping company together?!"

Lou Xiao'e looked at He Yuzhu and asked, "Zhuzi, what do you think?!"

He Yuzhu replied, "We have already agreed on this. You are in charge of external affairs, and I am in charge of internal affairs. You have the final say on minor matters. We will discuss major matters together. For trivial matters like spending money, don't ask me. Just make the decision yourself."

Lou Bingnan and Lou Bingyi were stunned when they heard what He Yuzhu said. Lou Bingyi couldn't help but say, "Zhuzi, we are family and we know each other well. If outsiders heard what you just said, they would think you are a gigolo?!"

"Puchi!" Lou Xiao'e couldn't help laughing, and she laughed glamorously. She covered her stomach and said, "I am dying of laughter! Zhuzi, did you hear that?! Be good in the future! Otherwise, be careful that I won't give you pocket money!"

He Yuzhu said: "Since we got married, it seems that you have never given me pocket money."

Lou Xiao'e said, "That's because you don't need the money, right? Besides, I know you have quite a bit of private money. You don't need these little things. I'll give your pocket money to He Bing and the others."

"Mom! The barbecue is almost done! Come down and eat!" At this moment, He Yong's voice rang out. Lou Xiao'e replied, "Coming!"

At the same time, Lou Zhenhua was eating the skewers brought by He Bing and the others, and said to Tan Lingya with a smile: "It has been a long time since the house has been so lively."

Tan Lingya said: "I think it's because we're getting old. I didn't feel lonely before, but now I'm afraid of loneliness. But fortunately, He Bing and his four children are quite filial."

Lou Zhenhua took a sip of wine and said, "I think Xiao'e is still young. Otherwise, let them try hard and have another child. Then we can both have a taste of raising a grandchild?!"
