1986: Old Stories in Northeast China

"You said you can make so much money by dealing with materials, why are you still so serious about running these enterprises? Is it because of a sense of honor?"

Hou Jingfu asked curiously.

Hearing his question, Director Cui was also very curious.

Because they thought Chen Tiezhu made so much money playing with stones, which was more than the annual output value of the machinery factory, why would he run an enterprise?

"What sense of honor? I don't have that thing." Chen Tiezhu laughed.

"I'm running a business, but the main purpose is to make a steady income. There are still great risks in playing with stones."

"That is to say, we can make a rough judgment through the skin of the material, thinking that there should be material inside. But the quality of the material can only be guessed."

"And even if some windowed materials can be roughly seen, there is still a lot of gambling. I don't know what direction the inside is, and I don't know if there will be cracks and strands, so it's not that easy to fix."

"So that thing can only be played with, and the serious thing is that our companies can continue to make profits. My future goal is to live a stable life without worrying about spending money."

"So you work hard and run our business well. I can see the money every year. Then I can take my eldest daughter to travel around the mountains and rivers... By the way, I have to develop the film. I took a lot of pictures."

After saying that, Chen Tiezhu walked out happily.

This is also an important project today, but after hearing the good news from the machinery factory, I forgot about it.

Director Cui and Hou Jingfu were a little helpless, but Chen Tiezhu's words were not bad, he had such confidence.

When they came to the photo studio, they would have to wait for a day to get the photos. Chen Tiezhu also used his money ability to make it easier, and the photos could be developed after noon.

He stepped on the accelerator and came directly to Niu Er's hot pot restaurant.

"Brother Tiezhu, you are back."

Seeing him coming, he was also overjoyed.

"It's pretty good, why are there grilled skewers?" Chen Tiezhu asked curiously.

"This is also in response to the requirements of our customers. Many customers have said that it would be nice if we could also have some grilled skewers when eating shabu-shabu mutton." Niu Er said with a smile.

"Not bad, this brain is really active. How is the recent business?" Chen Tiezhu said and walked into the store.

"Hello, Brother Tiezhu."

After seeing him, Wang Fang hurried over.

"Haha, it seems that the injury on the arm has healed, and he is getting along well with Xiao Wang." Chen Tiezhu asked happily.

"Yeah, we are getting along well." Wang Fang said shyly.

"Both sides have met their parents." Niu Er added.

"This guy, Wang Lifeng, is quite quick to act." Chen Tiezhu muttered.

"Don't worry about me, I will go back to the machinery factory for lunch. I just came out to develop photos and came to see you. It's good, everything is on the right track, and I will make money steadily in the future."

"Brother Tiezhu, since you are here, why are you still going to the machinery factory? Where's Doudou? Pick him up at noon, I will roast a leg of lamb for Doudou, this thing is more delicious than lamb skewers." Niu Er said hurriedly.

"Don't tell me you've eaten here. Tell me when you get to the kindergarten. Do whatever you want. Eat with the other kids at noon in the kindergarten." Chen Tiezhu said.

"Bring me two fresh lamb legs later and roast them at home. I just got back. How's Zhou Qiang's feed business going?"

"Brother Tiezhu, that guy is busier than me now." Niu Er said with a smile.

"He built a four-wheeled vehicle and hired two horse-drawn carriages from his village. He delivers feed every day. In his area, this guy is very successful."

"He also called a few brothers over. If they don't want to do other work, they can help him sell feed. Now, it's hard for us to get together for a meal."

"Before, I really didn't think so. I just thought that since we have some money, we can just get together for a quick meal. In fact, it's not the case. Now the business is getting bigger and bigger, and it's getting busier and busier."

"That's normal. You make a lot of money every month. When will you open a branch? Do you have to start planning?" Chen Tiezhu asked with a smile.

"You know what, I really have such an idea, but I didn't think about going to the provincial capital or the city." Niu Er said seriously.

"Let's just say that in our county, my little fame can still be of some use. I'm just worried about nothing. If I go to other places, I'll be bullied easily, which is very frustrating."

Chen TieZhu rolled his eyes, "Why worry about that? It's nothing."

"Brother Tiezhu, it's a problem." Niu Er said with a wry smile.

"Let's not talk about other things. They come here every now and then to make trouble. It's hard to run our business. Our territory is small. I can make a phone call and Captain Li can bring people to deal with it."

"When we get to the city and the provincial capital, this matter is not so easy to deal with. Those who know that I am doing business seriously, and those who don't know think I am going to grab territory."

"Tsk tsk, it seems that the second brother is burdened by his reputation." Chen Tiezhu said happily.

"Brother Tiezhu, let's stop joking." Niu Er said helplessly.

Brother Tiezhu is good in every way, but this thing that likes to joke and tease people is not so easy to deal with.

"It's nothing. We are not unrelated people. No matter where we open a store, we just need to say hello in advance." Chen Tiezhu said indifferently.

"Just remember one thing, we don't cause trouble, nor are we afraid of it. So these are not a big deal. You can decide for yourself when the time comes. I'll help you contact them later."

"You used to feel very glorious, but now you regret it a little bit, right? It's okay. In another ten years, you will be proud of your current decision, right?"

"Hehe, then thank Brother Tiezhu first. Now I am actually looking forward to making money safely and steadily." Niu Er said with a smile.

Chen Tiezhu said this, so there must be no problem.

After doing business, he realized how bad it was for someone to come and make trouble. And they had done such things before.

Who is really willing to pay protection fees?

The key is that even if you pay, it may not be able to protect you.

But what Chen Tiezhu said is not bad. Now he does regret the days he lived in the past.

On the surface, it seems to be showing off, and everyone calls him the second brother. But what is the reality? Only you know the vicissitudes inside.

"Hey? Brother Tiezhu, why are you here?"

While they were chatting, Zhou Qiang led a few people in from outside. He was accompanied by He Weimin.
