Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

"They transferred me away. They said I went to a big factory in the south with great benefits." Huaihua said with envy.

Everyone else is making money, but she's still in school.

However, Mom also said...

The family is not short of money now, so let her study hard and have a bright future like Zhiyuan and Zhiyi.

She didn't know what kind of future she would have, but she had taken the college entrance exam and was just waiting for the admission notice.

"Really? Which school did you apply to?" Zhiyi was happy for her.

Huaihua smiled and said, "Beijing University."

"Wow, locust flower is amazing!" Zhiyi hugged her and kept praising her, while the two big and strong brothers next to them couldn't sit still.

“Sister Zhiyi, I got first place in my class this time. I’m going to university in Beijing too,” Dazhuang said, pointing to himself.

Zhiyi laughed and said, "Okay, you're the best."

Xiao Zhuang pouted and said, "What's the use of studying well? I want to do business in the future and make a lot of money like Uncle Jiecheng."

slap~

His brother slapped him on the head, and Da Zhuang said with disdain, "You? You can't even do well in school, and you want to make a lot of money?"

Xiao Zhuang rubbed the back of his head and said indignantly, "Why can't I make a lot of money if I don't study well?"

"Uncle Jiecheng and Banggeng only finished junior high school, right?" Seeing his brother raise his hand again, Xiaozhuang ran behind Zhiyuan in a flash.

“Brother Yuan, do you think I’m right? Does making a lot of money have anything to do with studying?” Xiao Zhuang tried to find a supporter.

But Zhiyuan didn't care about any of these things.

He is concerned with knowledge and technological breakthroughs.

As for economic issues and future directions, I have some understanding but not in-depth knowledge.

He won't comment on things he doesn't understand.

In this respect, he is just like his father; he would never speak nonsense or make things up without thinking.

"Money, money, money, all you know is money. Can't you be a little more ambitious?"

"What's wrong with making money? As long as it's earned through labor, I should earn it. If you don't have money, what will you eat and drink? Hehehe..."

"You're still arguing with me? Come here."

"If you can't win, you can't win."

Seeing that the two were still arguing, Zhiyi stopped and shouted, "Alright, stop fooling around. How old are you? Aren't you being childish?"

The two of them obediently lowered their heads and remained silent.

Zhiyi then pulled Huaihua along, chatting and laughing, too lazy to lecture her!

Just do what you think is right and work hard to achieve it, regardless of what others say.

If someone disagrees with you, you'll easily waver.

That only shows that your insistence wasn't strong enough, and that the matter wasn't as important as you thought.

So be it!

Anyway, life has just begun, so making a few mistakes is no big deal.

"If you make a mistake, start over. Who are you trying to impress by looking dejected?"

Inside the research institute, Yang Jianguo looked at these dejected and defeated generals and felt a surge of anger.

Yes, the research went in the wrong direction, wasting a lot of time and resources.

But who can know from the very beginning that they are right?!

Have all these years of smooth sailing made them all confused?

They think they're capable and that there's nothing they can't do.

No matter what the difficulty, you can overcome it by stepping up. Who gave you the courage?

what? !

After giving the members of the research institute a severe dressing-down, Yang Jianguo immediately announced a three-day holiday.

"Get out of here and go home, all of you, and get rid of your impetuous and arrogant bad habits."

"When we come back, we'll start all over again."

After Yang Jianguo finished speaking, he turned and left. The crowd looked at each other, all feeling somewhat ashamed.

They've had it too easy these past few years, and they've really gotten carried away.

"Alright, stop looking, go back and rest!" Xiang Shaodong clapped his hands, signaling everyone to pack up and leave.

He quickened his pace and caught up with Yang Jianguo: "Jianguo, this is my fault. I set a bad example."

This matter can be considered minor, but it can also be serious.

Mindset has a huge impact on a person.

A good mindset leads to twice the results with half the effort, while a bad mindset leads to half the results with twice the effort.

If you maintain a calm mindset, you should start the verification process from the beginning when you discover problems along the way.

In this way, problems can be detected in advance, preventing the waste of the following months.

But it was this arrogance of "it can't possibly go wrong, who do we think we are?" that caused subsequent investments to be wasted.

"Alright, go back and rest. I have to go to a meeting."

Although Yang Jianguo didn't say anything, Xiang Shaodong knew that he was somewhat disappointed in him.

This time, he will probably be implicated quite a bit.

The meeting lasted until after nine o'clock, and Yang Jianguo rode his bicycle home, exhausted.

As expected, some people seized upon this mistake and wrote extensively about it at the meeting earlier.

The way they looked at him made it seem like they wanted to nail him to a rack of shame.

Yang Jianguo stated the facts and made a profound self-criticism, admitting that he, as the leader, had failed to do a good job of supervision.

In the end, the leaders brushed the matter aside with a nonchalant attitude.

But he knew best in his heart that a thousand-mile dike can be destroyed by an ant hole, and this was only the beginning.

Next, someone needs to get involved in the department.

Because of this mistake, Yang Jianguo not only couldn't stop it, but also had to show a welcoming attitude.

And actively cooperate with the other party's work.

After all, you have to admit your mistakes and stand up straight when you get punished.

"When will this bullshit ever end?" With a sigh, Yang Jianguo composed himself and pushed his cart into the courtyard.

"Can't you be more patient? I told you to settle down and do things properly, but you have to keep messing around with this business!"

"Yes, I can! I can do it!" Old Yan shouted loudly from inside his house.

Judging from the voice, he must be talking to Yan Jiecheng.

What's wrong with this buying and selling?

Everything was fine before, what happened?

Yan Jiecheng, sitting on the bench with his head drooping, had a fluctuating expression.

He wanted to throw the chair and leave, but he succumbed to reality.

He messed up his business, so even if he wanted to refute it, he couldn't come up with a coherent argument.

Alright, I'll tell you then!

As long as I can get money to solve my immediate problem, I'll accept anything, no matter what.

"Dad, what about the money?" Yan Jiecheng waited patiently for his father to speak.

Old Man Yan raised a smug look in his eyes and said with a serious expression, "I have the money, but I can't give it to you. You have to borrow it."

Rub~

Yan Jiecheng was furious and almost jumped up.

But in the end, he managed to suppress it again, saying, "Fine, I'll lend it to you. Tell me how you're allowed to lend it!"

Damn it, I'll get through this.

None of you should come begging me.

Chapter 343 The Gap, Removing Restrictions

Old Man Yan calculated the interest with his son, and he did it with perfect clarity.

Although he hadn't dealt with these things himself, everyone had heard rumors: "Don't say your father won't help you. Outside, the interest rate is five percent, but your father will give you a three percent rate, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Jiecheng replied, "Sure, anything is fine."

Now we're at their mercy, like fish on a chopping board. What can't we do?

As long as he can get through this difficult time and continue his business, I'll do anything.

Besides, aren't we making money?!

At Qin Huairu's house, Banggeng was also asking her mother for money.

Like Yan Jiecheng, he naturally wanted to continue the business in the restaurant.

Why did the two of them need to borrow money?

Actually, it's all because of those recent rumors.

Now that restrictions are being lifted in the deep south, people are stockpiling grain everywhere.

With food in short supply, food coupons also became scarce.

The supply of food coupons in the market and the black market became intermittent, not as smooth as before.

Moreover, the price has also increased significantly.

Not only grain coupons, but also supply coupons for various meats and vegetables have increased in price.

The cost of collecting tickets alone has increased by 40% compared to before.

This number is quite frightening.

Nowadays, none of the small restaurants that open outside are businesses that collect tickets and conduct business.

If you charge for everything, why would I come here to get ripped off? Wouldn't the government-run canteen be better?

So you'll have to figure out how to get this ticket yourself.

If you get your hands on it, selling it at a high price is no big deal, as long as people are willing to eat it.

Buying and selling is simply a matter of supply and demand based on mutual consent.

The profit margin here is really high!

Take the most ordinary dish as an example: a plate of Mapo Tofu costs 33 cents in a government canteen.

In these small restaurants and food stalls, it costs 45 cents.

just now……

Can you believe that a plate of Mapo Tofu will cost you 62 cents, or even 70 or 80 cents?

Half a roast chicken used to cost only eight or nine cents, but now it costs one dollar and eight or nine cents.

The more expensive the dish used to be, the higher its price and the greater the profit margin today.

Even so, the supply is still insufficient to meet the demand; there's no stock available!

These days, whichever store has the goods makes money, while those without can only watch helplessly.

Among these people who were "helpless," Yan Jiecheng and Bang Geng were among them.

The two of them have made some money in the three years they've run the restaurant.
