Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

Last time, Yu Li saw in the newspaper that the fertilizer produced by Hu Steel Plant had been praised!

Chapter 436 Yu Li, who takes the initiative, has trouble sleeping.

Li Aiguo did a really good job.

His solution not only utilizes waste materials but also significantly reduces the cost of waste disposal.

They also talked about turning waste into treasure and using it to make money.

Hu Gang's success represents a transformation in the entire industry.

This matter was repeatedly brought up for discussion and commendation at meetings held by higher authorities.

As the mastermind behind it all, Yang Jianguo was also publicly praised and encouraged on several occasions.

As the one who actually carried out the work, Li Aiguo naturally received the honors and rewards he deserved.

He was in the limelight during this period, and we will be conducting an exclusive interview with him in a while.

It will be broadcast on CCTV, and even if the screen time is short, just three to five seconds is enough to brag about for a lifetime.

Yu Li was envious, and even more envious of them for having such a good brother-in-law.

If it weren't for Yang Jianguo, Li Aimin and Li Aiguo would probably have fared much better.

But to have the life we ​​have now is absolutely impossible.

Let's just talk about the permits for going to Da Mao's place and the channels for sourcing goods from Shenzhen. Li Aimin couldn't handle that.

Therefore, who you associate with is very important.

Li Aimin and Li Aiguo chose the right people to follow, and they gained both fame and fortune.

Old Li from the supply and marketing cooperative has become a well-known figure, and he's incredibly successful.

"That's because Aimin worked hard. His business was tough; he even had a gun pointed at his head once."

When Yingzi returned after tidying up the house, she overheard several people praising her younger brother and couldn't help but chime in.

"Huh?" Yu Li covered her mouth in surprise and said, "Really?"

"How could I joke about this? He only looks at his success, but he risked his life for it."

Yingzi smiled bitterly. She only found out about this later; Aimin hadn't dared to tell her at first.

They said they would prevent him from going there again.

It was dangerous, but not as terrible as I thought.

After all, Li Aimin had two aces by his side.

Ma Kun and the master chef weren't just there for nothing.

Fortunately, he no longer needs to worry about it, as there are dedicated people handling the business there.

Unless it involves large aircraft, like the attack helicopters that were transported back before.

He went there in person because the situation was different; he needed to personally handle things at the checkpoint to feel at ease.

Secondly, it's also to build a good relationship with the other side.

When the goods were delivered, Li Aimin saw a floor covered with large toys.

We're not saying we'll move them all back; just a dozen or so of each kind will be enough.

Money!

Earn some, spend some, and put the rest in the bank.

At first, I was so excited looking at the numbers on my bankbook that I couldn't sleep.

Later, the numbers didn't react much when they jumped again.

numb!

He told me that Aimin is now mainly in charge of business in mainland China, and has also opened a company in Shenzhen to do international trade.

When dealing with foreigners, Yu Li followed up with a question: "Then he must be really short of staff, right?"

Yang Jianguo understood; she wanted to do business with Aimin!

"The problem is a shortage of people. The bigger the business, the more people are needed, mainly professional talent."

Yu Li pursed her lips, picked up the tea on the table to moisten her throat, and said casually, "Jianguo, do you think there's anything I can do?"

Yan Jiecheng felt a little embarrassed by such blunt words.

Why did you just ask me directly? You should wait until someone asks you before you answer!

This is the difference between the two: Yu Li seizes opportunities and acts proactively, putting aside her pride for the moment.

Having been a restaurant owner herself, her ideas were quite different from his.

Yan Jiecheng is no good; he still holds outdated ideas.

When your boss asks you a question, you should be humble and just do what they tell you.

If it's given to you, it's yours; if it's not, it means you're not good enough.

His idea is not wrong if it's put in the factory.

But if you put yourself in the free market outside, you'd definitely starve to death.

On the contrary, someone like Yu Li, as long as she's not too unlucky, is sure to make something of herself.

“Yes, I remember you can do accounts, right?” Yang Jianguo nodded, picking up where she left off.

"Yes, I can. I used to be in charge of accounts, and I managed them myself when I was running a restaurant."

Yu Li nodded repeatedly, showing no sign of drunkenness.

As soon as she picked up the conversation, she sobered up.

This is the opportunity she's been begging for. Now that it's right in front of her, why isn't she seizing it?

"That's a good idea. Aimin just needs a reliable accountant."

Yang Jianguo glanced at his wife, and Yingzi nodded and said, "That's right. Aimin said earlier that there was no one she could trust to manage the money."

The business has been expanded too much.

It's the Mao family again, it's the capital, it's Shanghai, and now it's opened a new one in Shenzhen.

Li Aimin has fewer and fewer people he can rely on, and even fewer people he can trust.

He couldn't find suitable people domestically, and those he trusted couldn't keep up with his pace, so he had to hire from outside.

But he wasn't comfortable with the foreigner!

They were all cunning and mischievous, with shifty eyes and they didn't look like good people at all.

They started by talking about modernization and the Eagle Family Model.

I'm setting up a factory in mainland China, and you insist on talking to me about the "Eagle Family Model"—isn't that just talking past each other and utter nonsense?

Li Aimin was clear-headed; he couldn't explain those grand principles to foreigners.

But he understood one thing: wherever you do business, you have to follow the local rules.

Don't you understand the saying "When in Rome, do as the Romans do"?

I'm raising fish in the South China Sea, but you insist I raise them the way you do in the Neon Sea.

It would be a miracle if it survived.

When Aimin told Yang Jianguo these stories, Yang praised him highly.

With this mindset and awareness, it would be hard for them not to succeed!

“Jianguo, if Aimin is willing, I want to follow him.”

Yu Li took the initiative to suggest that she wanted to work for Li Aimin.

If you want something, just say it boldly. Why be so hesitant?

You're the one asking someone for a favor, yet they expect you to turn around and invite them back.

What's the point?

"I need to ask Aimin's opinion first."

Yang Jianguo didn't make the decision on his own, and Li Aimin's business has now grown significantly.

They also have their own ideas and methods of managing subordinates, knowing who to use and how to use them.

He had to meet them in person and understand them before making any decisions.

Yang Jianguo will not take on too much responsibility or make all the decisions.

"Of course, of course. When Aimin comes back, you can mention it to him."

Yu Li nodded in agreement, just wanting a chance.

She doesn't think she's any worse than anyone else, especially if she's in charge of the accounts.

I can't speak for other things, but Yu Li definitely keeps a close eye on his money.

If there's anything she doesn't know how to do, she'll learn it.

She's still young, only in her early forties, a time when she's most capable.

Yu Li has the will and the confidence.

“Okay, since you’re interested, I’ll definitely mention it to Aimin when he gets back.”

Yang Jianguo readily agreed to the request.

I'd like to suggest that the two of them meet and talk it out themselves.

Whether it's feasible or not, the two of them should discuss it themselves.

Having put his mind at ease, the alcohol took over again, and Yan Jiecheng helped Yu Li to the central courtyard to rest.

The lively atmosphere at Old Yan's house in the front yard was still going strong.

After tidying up her husband, Aunt Liu took off her clothes and was about to get into bed.

Then, Aunt Yan's shouting from the house across the street suddenly grew louder, but before she could finish her sentence, it was drowned out again.

I lay down on the kang (heated brick bed) and turned off the light.

Aunt Liu chuckled and said, "I'm afraid neither of us will be able to sleep well tonight."

Chapter 437 Devising a Plan, A Moment of Greed

Aunt Liu's bad luck didn't happen.

Old Yan's family was getting old, and they turned off the lights before midnight.

As for the elderly couple, who is in a stronger position?

Only the two of them know the answer to that.

The next day, Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li left before dawn.

There's a custom of not spending the first day of the Lunar New Year at someone else's house. I drank too much yesterday, so it's best to leave early this morning after sobering up.

When Yingzi went to call for someone, she noticed that the door was ajar.

"They've both left." Yingzi turned and went back into the house, glancing at the stove without any sign of worry.

It's Chinese New Year, so we can make a living off the leftovers.

After breakfast, having nothing to do on the first day of the Lunar New Year, I just lay at home reading.

Yang Jianguo took out the unfinished drawings and continued to ponder them.

But before noon, Aunt Liu came to our door.

She came to invite Yang Jianguo to her home to help Da Liu think about the electronics factory.

“You’re good at these things. Your Uncle Liu is just a worker, but he’s good at doing the work.”

Pointing to her head, Aunt Liu joked, "You're far from being able to use your brain."
