Rebirth of Siheyuan starts in the 1980s

After greeting He Yuzhu in the kitchen and the apprentices transferred from Hongguang Machinery Factory, Cao Zhiqiang didn't look any further and left quickly.

After all, this is He Yuzhu's territory. If he stays there for too long, he will feel uncomfortable.

The main reason Cao Zhiqiang came to the kitchen this time was to see how these apprentices were studying, but this needed to be done in private, and it was inappropriate for them to do so while they were working.

However, when Cao Zhiqiang came out of the kitchen, he found He Yuzhu also walking out.

"Uncle He, aren't you watching from the kitchen?" Cao Zhiqiang asked.

"It's okay." He Yuzhu said with a smile, "It doesn't take much time to do the takeout. It will be over soon. Besides, my apprentice Ma Hua is watching, so there is no problem if I don't need to be there."

Cao Zhiqiang nodded.

Although the takeaway is open, it is actually just a disguised extension of the business hours to give people who can't wait in line outside something to look forward to.

In fact, if it were to be three o'clock in the afternoon, no one would come to eat. After all, everyone would have a meal.

In the final analysis, opening a takeout outlet is a compromise made out of necessity because there are too many people coming to eat, there are too many people queuing up, and the business hours are strictly arranged.

But this is actually not a long-term solution.

Because as time goes by, everyone will stop queuing up after they know what is going on here.

At that time, those who really come back often will still come, but those who are very price-sensitive will probably only come once in a while.

After all, in essence, Shiweitian is not a cheap restaurant, but a high-priced restaurant similar to the exhibition hall restaurant. Recently, it is only because of Cao Zhiqiang's first-hand marketing strategy that the restaurant has been crowded.

After this storm has passed and people's interest has passed, they will eventually return to normal.

But by that time, Shiweitian's reputation had already been established, and really wealthy people would still come to Shiweitian to eat.

This is called screening customers.

"Qiangzi, let me tell you something." He Yuzhu walked over with a smile.

Cao Zhiqiang nodded, knowing that there must be something wrong with He Yuzhu coming out.

Soon, they came to a private room. The waiter had cleaned it in advance and it was very clean. However, they could still smell the smell of mutton. It was estimated that mutton had been eaten in this private room before.

There is nothing we can do about it. This is a hotel renovated from a courtyard house. The private rooms are the east and west wing rooms. In addition, the patio is covered with a roof, so poor ventilation is standard.

In fact, Cao Zhiqiang has long discovered that the old courtyard houses in the capital, regardless of whether they are large courtyard houses or pure courtyard houses, are not very livable. Anyway, they do not meet Cao Zhiqiang's livable environment.

That kind of building is still suitable.

Of course, if conditions permit, Cao Zhiqiang plans to build his own house and several real villas.

Speaking of which, Shazhu's workplace, the Red Star Rolling Mill outside Dongzhimen, seems to have been annexed by Shougang at the end of this year.

A few years after the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill was annexed, a large hotel was first built at the original location, and later real estate was built at the original factory address, a circle of villas was built, and the East Lake Villa District was built.

Later, it was said in the capital that the East Lake Villa, where dignitaries and dignitaries traveled everywhere, came from this.

The location of my Hongguang Machinery Factory is no worse than that of the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill, and the area is not small.

It's just that the Hongxing Steel Rolling Plant is in the east of the city, and my Hongguang Machinery Factory is in the north of the city. I have quite a lot of power, and it seems that I can take the lead.

Although it may seem that there is not much money to be made in real estate now, the house itself is a store of value.

Moreover, the cost of building a house is now low, and you can decide on the land for your own factory.

You have to say that the technical cost of building a building during this period was a bit high, but the technical aspects of building a group of single-family villas were not a problem and the cost was very low, but the agglomeration effect in the later period was very strong.

Not bad, not bad, I can do something about real estate if I have some time.

Even if the real estate market hasn't caught on yet and we can't sell out, it would be a good idea to turn it into an office building first and improve the living environment for our employees, especially our own.

After all, the cost of building a house is now low, and there are not so many approval conditions.

Anyway, after the completion, as long as the houses are owned by oneself, in more than ten years, the housing prices of these single-family villas will not skyrocket.

Isn’t this better than those priceless courtyard houses?

Oops, I accidentally discovered another way to make a fortune.

It's great to travel back in time. There are countless opportunities to make money everywhere.

"Qiangzi, Qiangzi, do you hear me?"

"Ah?" Cao Zhiqiang was stunned and quickly recovered, "Uncle, what did you just say?"

"Hey!" He Yuzhu said happily, "Are you really distracted?"

"Oh, I'm sorry, uncle." Cao Zhiqiang pretended to sigh, "I have a lot to do now. I have to worry about the machinery factory, the publishing house and the audio-visual company. After that, I still have to review my homework and prepare for the college entrance examination. I'm busy!"

"That's true." He Yuzhu nodded, "You are indeed very busy now, and I usually can't find your people.

By the way, I heard a few days ago that you took that thing, the college entrance examination preparatory test, and you did very well in the test, is it true?"

"It's not bad." Cao Zhiqiang nodded, "I just made do, and I ranked 26th in the city."

"Hey, you are so successful." He Yuzhu said in surprise, "Twenty-sixth in the city? How can you be admitted to university if you are so inappropriate?"

"That's not it." Cao Zhiqiang said modestly, "It's just a preliminary exam, not the real college entrance examination, and it doesn't count."

"Fool me, do you think I don't know anything?" He Yuzhu smiled, "Who doesn't know that the preparatory examination is similar to the college entrance examination. If you can get into the top 100 in the preparatory examination, it is certain to go to university."

Speaking of this, He Yuzhu sighed: "Oh, I really didn't expect that there will be another college student in our courtyard. He is awesome, awesome."

"Haha." Cao Zhiqiang smiled and said, "Uncle, you asked me to come over. Let's talk about the business."

"Okay, okay, let's get down to business." He Yuzhu nodded, "Well, Qiangzi, I didn't want to tell you about this at first, but my wife, your Aunt Qin, kept urging me, so I, I'll be patient.

Let’s talk to you face to face.”

"Oh." Cao Zhiqiang nodded, "What is it about? Is it about salary? Or is it about shares?"

"No." He Yuzhu shook his head, "Yes, it's about Sophora japonica."

"Sophora japonica?" Cao Zhiqiang was stunned, "What's wrong with Sophora japonica? Is something wrong?"

"Well, that's not the case." He Yuzhu rubbed his hands and then looked at Cao Zhiqiang.

Cao Zhiqiang frowned: "Uncle, just tell me what you have to say. I'm very busy and I'll have something to do later."

"Okay, okay, I'll keep the story short." He Yuzhu said quickly.

Then, He Yuzhu took a deep breath and made up his mind: "Hey, let me tell you straight, Qiangzi, what do you think of our Sophora japonica?"

"Huh?" Cao Zhiqiang, who was thinking about how to find opportunities to build villas and communities in the future, and even use this as a starting point to develop real estate, was stunned, "What about it?"

"It's just our Sophora japonica." He Yuzhu asked, "Do you think she is beautiful?"

"This..." Cao Zhiqiang blinked, "Beautiful, really beautiful."

"That's right." He Yuzhu said immediately, "Our Sophora japonica doesn't dare to say anything else. If you want to say that she is beautiful, she will fill the whole courtyard. No, there is no one in the alley who can be better than her."

Cao Zhiqiang also came to his senses at this time: "So Uncle He, you don't want to set a red line between me and Sophora japonica, do you?"

"Smart!" He Yuzhu chuckled, "That's right, you are unmarried, Huaihua is unmarried, and you are both about the same age, I think you are quite suitable.

Although Huaihua is a few years older than you, as the saying goes, if a female is a junior, she will have a gold nugget.

It’s better for women to be older, they can hurt people.

You see, our Sophora japonica is beautiful, capable, and very good at serving others.

If you marry Sophora japonica, you are guaranteed to enjoy happiness.

Also, I heard someone say that Sophora japonica can give birth to fat boys at first sight. If you marry him, you can have three or five sons at will."

"Uncle, we have family planning now." Cao Zhiqiang said, "Urban household registration only allows one child."

"Yes, family planning." He Yuzhu nodded, "But if it's such a big deal, isn't it just a fine? Isn't it still a problem for you?"

Upon hearing this, Cao Zhiqiang couldn't help but nodded.

Indeed, in the final analysis, family planning restricts only the poor.

For people with money and power, there are too many ways to circumvent family planning.

Let’s not talk about anything else, let’s just talk about normal fines. With the current policy in Peking, if you have to have a second child and both parties have urban household registration, it will only cost 800 yuan. A third child is more expensive and costs two.

Fifteen hundred yuan, but this is nothing to Cao Zhiqiang.

Seeing Cao Zhiqiang nodding, He Yuzhu's eyes lit up, thinking he agreed.

"Hey, so you agree to have sex with our Sophora japonica?"

"No, no, no." Cao Zhiqiang was startled and quickly shook his head in rejection, "Absolutely not, I don't have that idea. Uncle He, please don't misunderstand me."

"Why?" He Yuzhu asked, "Although you have a problem with Banggan, it has nothing to do with Sophora japonica. Sophora japonica is a very good child, beautiful, capable, easy to give birth to, and she also knows how to love others.

By the way, I heard that you had thoughts about him before, how great it is now, we will introduce Sophora japonica to you, and you can have a relationship with her openly."

"No, uncle." Cao Zhiqiang frowned, "I, I, um... let me tell the truth. Uncle, actually I have a partner."

"Ah, you have a partner?" He Yuzhu was stunned, "When did it happen, why didn't I know?"

Cao Zhiqiang laughed: "You are so busy all day, why do you care about such things? Besides, I have a partner not long ago. She also took the college entrance examination this year and is preparing to go to university. For various reasons, she has not announced it to the public."

"Really or not?" He Yuzhu frowned.

"Of course it's true." Cao Zhiqiang said, "Can I still lie to you? If you don't believe me, ask my sister. She knows that I have a partner. She is very familiar with my partner."

"very familiar?"

"Yes, very familiar."

Cao Zhiqiang said: "Actually, my partner's birthplace is where my eldest sister used to work, and they are both neighbors. My partner's mother used to be colleagues with my eldest sister.

And last time, didn't I go to my sister's place with the intention of getting my sister back?

That's when I met my partner, and for various reasons, we got better.

Right now, my partner is taking the exam in his hometown and will probably be able to come to Beijing tomorrow.

By the way, I'll let you guys meet me then, and you'll know if I lied to you."

"That's it." He Yuzhu sighed slightly disappointedly, "So, you really don't like Sophora japonica?"

"It's not that I don't like her," Cao Zhiqiang said, "It's just that Huaihua and I are not suitable, so we better not hold them back."

"Yes." He Yuzhu nodded, "In the past, I definitely couldn't agree. After all, you were nothing at that time.

Later, when you made progress, I didn’t say anything else. I didn’t agree or disagree.

But who would have thought that your changes would be so big, we dare not even think about it.

Now you are the president and director, you have great power, you are also a famous poet, and you are not short of money.

Well now, you have even passed the college entrance examination preliminaries and are about to go to college and become a college student.

To be honest, you are running a little fast now, and our Sophora japonica is no longer worthy of you."

Cao Zhiqiang said quickly: "Uncle, please don't say that. It's not that Huaihua is not worthy, it's that we are really inappropriate. In fact, I have always regarded Huaihua as my sister, and I really have no other ideas.

Besides, I'm usually so busy and don't have time to spend time with my son and daughter. If Huaihua were to be with me, it would definitely be very uncomfortable."

"Hmph." He Yuzhu curled his lips, "That sounds nice, but why did you find a female student in Southwest China to date?"

Cao Zhiqiang blinked: "That was an accident."

"Hey, unexpected." He Yuzhu was happy, then lowered his voice and blinked, "Tell me the truth, did you look at someone's beauty and couldn't hold it back for a while, which ruined their health and had to take responsibility afterwards?"

Cao Zhiqiang curled his lips: "Uncle, no, don't talk nonsense."

"That's it!" He Yuzhu smiled slightly, "They are all men, I understand, especially someone like you, hum."

"Uncle." Cao Zhiqiang smiled bitterly, "Can we stop joking? This matter is big or small, but we don't dare to talk nonsense."

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone." He Yuzhu chuckled.

Immediately afterwards, He Yuzhu sighed again: "Actually, I have not been optimistic about the matter between you and Huaihua for a long time.

I was not optimistic about it before, and I am not optimistic about it now. This has nothing to do with whether you have money or not, whether you are promising or not.

That's right, I just feel that you and Sophora japonica are not the same people and can't go together.

So before, I turned a blind eye to what happened between you and Huaihua and let you go.

But now, isn’t it true that my daughter-in-law is obsessed with bringing you and Sophora japonica together?

In fact, I also understand that my wife saw that you were promising, so she wanted Sophora japonica to be with you, so that she could be popular and drink spicy food.

But when it comes to things like men and women, a slap in the face won’t make a difference, they have to look at each other, right?”

"Yes, yes, uncle, you are so right." Cao Zhiqiang said quickly, "Huaihua and I only have a brother-sister relationship, and there is absolutely no relationship between a man and a woman."

"Okay, I understand." He Yuzhu nodded, "Anyway, I asked the question and you answered it for me. I can go back and deal with my wife.

Of course, don't worry, even if things don't work out between you and Huaihua, it won't delay our friendship.

We still have our own opinions. Although you can’t be my son-in-law, we can still be partners, don’t you think so?”

"That's right!" Cao Zhiqiang slapped his thigh, "One code is the same, it's better for us to continue to be partners. If we really become relatives, it will be difficult.

To put it bluntly, if I really become your son-in-law, I'm afraid I won't dare to cooperate with you, and we will have no choice but to part ways."

"Why?" He Yuzhu asked.

Cao Zhiqiang sighed: "Uncle He, you are a smart man, but you still can't understand this? These days, it is most taboo for relatives to work together in business.

If relatives form a partnership, due to the relative's reputation, if there is a problem, they can't criticize the company. In terms of management, it will definitely be a mess.

It’s better for us to be in this situation. We can explain everything clearly, one code is the same, what should be done, how much should be paid, how good it is.”

"That's right!" He Yuzhu slapped his thigh, "You're so right! Just like me and my wife, we can't reason with each other. All the money we make must be turned over. I can't even hide it in a small treasury. Who can reason with me?

"

"That's right." Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile, "Do you still remember what I told you before? If you don't have long-term worries, you will have immediate worries.

Now that Aunt Qin is still here, you still have the ability and ability, and her children are still filial to you. But what if one day Aunt Qin walks in on you, or if one day you get old and can’t move anymore, and you have no ability or ability?

Now, can you guarantee that those children can support you in your old age?"

He Yuzhu suddenly darkened his face, thought for a while and nodded: "I promise, they can do it!"

Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly: "Okay, even if you believe them, there is no harm in hiding something, right? If they are really filial, wouldn't it be better to give them the money you hid and give them a surprise?

"

"It sounds nice when you say that." He Yuzhu smiled.

Cao Zhiqiang looked around and said again: "Uncle He, people's hearts are unpredictable. If you are good today, it may not be good tomorrow. Anyway, I think you should be more careful and hide more of your private money. What you want is a future person."

Just in case.

You have lived for more than half your life, and you should understand some things.

Nothing is reliable except money.

People will change, but money will not.

As long as you have money in your hand, the money is yours.

When you get old in the future, if people don't care about you, at least you will still have money and can afford someone to take care of you.

But if you get old and have no money, then those children will have their own families.

Haha, when the time comes, think about it for yourself, will they take care of you first for the sake of you as the stepfather, regardless of their own family affairs?"

Upon hearing this, He Yuzhu's face darkened again, but this time, he miraculously did not refute Cao Zhiqiang's words.

Seeing him like this, Cao Zhiqiang narrowed his eyes: "Uncle, my words may not sound good, but my words of advice are hard on the ears.

Now you have also seen that by cooperating with me, I have not treated you wrong, but on the contrary, I have made you earn much more than before.

I may not say those beautiful words, but I will not squeeze you or suck your blood.

On the contrary, I will bring out your potential and turn your abilities into money.

When you have money, you will have the confidence to be the head of the family.

This saying goes well.

A big man should not be without power for a day, and a young man should not be without money for a day.

So, Uncle He, instead of worrying about my personal problems here, you should worry more about your own affairs.

If nothing else, at least your private money must be hidden well, and Aunt Qin and the others must not know about it!"
