Chapter 225: Liu and Yan's families fall into the trap (I)
Things at the tavern came to an end. He Yukai went to the countryside every day, picking up bargains when he could and buying some land. He lived a pretty carefree life. The children would graduate next year, and then he would be even more relaxed as the foundation would have been laid.
The matter of the merchant group is still under discussion and the specific date has not been determined. He went to Xiaorizi this time to do something big. The space has been cleared, and he will set up a bank in the future. He has set his sights on Xiaorizi's bank for precious metal reserves.
Xiao Ri had robbed so many things in the past, which was considered as a deposit for him in advance. He already knew the location of the largest bank, so it would be easy to deal with him when the time comes.
When he was wandering around the countryside, Li Huaide and Liu Haizhong got in touch. Li Hua heard from somewhere that Liu Haizhong was making a lot of money, and he met Liu Haizhong by chance. The two of them felt like they had met each other too late, and they went to high-end places together.
"Lao Liu, what do you think of my proposal? This time I brought a TV, which is a valuable item. You have one at home too. Do you know how much it costs?
I can give it to you at half price, and I don’t care how much you sell it for. If you can sell it at a sky-high price, it’s all your ability.”
Liu Haizhong has been in the officialdom for a while, and he has developed his cunningness through practice. It is something he has acquired naturally after suffering many losses.
He was ecstatic in his heart, but his expression did not change at all, but the hand holding the wine was trembling slightly. Li Huaide was a man of high character, so he could naturally see that Liu Haizhong was moved.
Liu Haizhong was able to keep his composure, but Liu Guangtian, who was accompanying him, had long been unable to hold back, but was held tightly by Liu Haizhong. Otherwise, no matter how much he stood up and said, he knew what kind of person Li Huaide was, and how many people had fallen under the feet of this smiling tiger in those years.
Although he was tempted, after all, he could no longer get rebar, and he still wanted to continue making money, so this was a good opportunity.
After things became easier, his children could no longer concentrate and he quit his job. If he couldn't find a new source of income, he would end up eating up all his savings.
But he really had no idea what Li Huaide said. He couldn't understand why Li Huaide didn't buy such a good Si'er himself.
He would not believe that Li Huaide was a kind person. Would such a person share the profits? No one would believe it. If it was He Yukai who said this, he would definitely agree immediately.
But there are huge profits here, and he doesn't want to miss this opportunity.
"Director Li, how about I consider it? After all, the amount involved is quite large, and it is not something we can decide here."
"Haha, Lao Liu, please think about this carefully when you go back. I am only willing to give you the discount after seeing you as my old acquaintance.
After all, I have other things to do and cannot stay in Beijing for a long time. Otherwise, I will sell this batch of TVs myself. I have shown you the procedures, so we have to hurry up."
"Of course, of course. Thank you Director Li for your kindness. I will reply to you as soon as I get my ID."
"Old Li, this old man doesn't seem easy to fool. Can this thing work?"
You Fengxia looked at Liu Haizhong and his son who were leaving, and then looked at Li Huaide and asked, these TVs must be sold as soon as possible, the longer they are in their hands, the greater the risk.
"Haha, don't worry! This old guy is just an idiot. He's already tempted, isn't he? Just wait and see, he'll contact us in two or three days."
"His son's eyes kept on me, and I didn't like it"
"Haha, don't worry! They will be in trouble soon. Don't worry about them for now. They will be punished when the time comes. The most serious disease in the world is poverty. They will be sick soon, haha."
"cluck"
Liu Haizhong's home
"Dad, why don't you agree? We can make at least 100,000 yuan after we get those TVs. Even if it's 100 yuan less than what we bought, we can still make a lot, right?
Why not take up such a good opportunity? What if they find someone else?
Now the He family's business is getting bigger and bigger, and the Yan family has also opened a restaurant. If we don't develop, we will have no place to stand in this compound. We can't compete with the Jia family, right?"
"Why are you panicking? The most taboo in doing business is to be impatient. Is Li Huaide a good man? Definitely not. Don't I understand this after all these years?
Li Huaide is a ruthless person. If you give him a chance, he will come at you like a mad dog and will not give up until he has squeezed you dry.
If there is anything wrong with this, we will have no hope of turning things around. If there is a problem with this batch of TVs, we can forget about turning things around."
"So what should we do? Are we going to let such a good opportunity slip away just because of your risky guess?"
"That's what I was thinking! You are already over 30 years old, when will you be able to be more stable? You just said that the Yan family also made money?"
"Yes, I opened a hot pot restaurant, but I heard from Yan Jiecheng that business has been getting worse and worse recently. He can't make much money anymore and he is worried too."
"What do you think? How about we bring the Yan family in to join us in the shepherding business?"
"No, we have the money to eat it all, why should we take the Yan family with us? And since the He family is so rich, why don't we take the He family with us, but the Yan family?
Yan Bugui seems to be taking advantage of us, can we take advantage of him?"
"Why not let the He family join? If the He family joins, they will take over everything. As long as they feel that this thing can be done, with their financial resources, they will definitely not be a partner.
The He family doesn't look down on such a business. It's no secret how big their business is now. Do you think they look down on such a business?
The Yan family is different. They have financial resources, but not much. They are the type to take advantage of others. As long as there is profit to be made, I believe Yan Bugui will not refuse.
The final problem is that if we can get the Yan family to join us, our risks will be much less. Even if there are problems, the risks will be borne by both families, so we will not be left without hope of making a comeback.
It doesn't matter if we make less money! As long as there is no problem this time, Li Huaide will definitely look for us again when the next batch comes."
"Didn't he mean this batch of uncles?"
"Stupid, if this is the only batch, why is he in such a hurry? He must be short of money and needs to gather funds. He can't even hear such obvious words."
"Yes, it must be that they don't have enough funds. Who can we talk to the Yan family about this?"
"Go buy some meat and a bottle of good wine. I'll treat Yan Bugui to a meal. I'd better listen to Yan Bugui's opinion. This old guy is stingy, but he is cautious in everything. We should listen to his opinion.
If he feels that this matter is not credible, let's not do it. Yan Bugui has never missed it over the years. Even when Yi Zhonghai and I were competing, he always slipped away to the back.
Now think about it, he is the one who gets the benefits every time. We and Yi Zhonghai are fighting each other, but Yan Bugui is the fisherman who benefits."
"Okay, then I'll go?"
"Go! When you come back, ask your wife to come out and sit down. I'll go and call Yan Bugui in a while. He should be back by now. Don't let this matter get out. Remember that!"
"Understood, Dad!"
Liu Haizhong always felt that there was something wrong here, but he couldn't figure out what the problem was. He wanted to hear Yan Bugui's opinion. After all, he was literate and had much broader knowledge.
The official seal on the procedure is real and the same size as the official seal of the steel rolling mill. The document is a red-headed document, so it should be correct. But what is wrong?
He felt something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what it was. He felt that it was not as simple as his IQ.
Liu Haizhong had such an idea, of course, based on his understanding of Li Huaide. That guy had always been a man who ate chickens without spitting out bones. He had a secret that he had never told. Before Yi Zhonghai became the captain of the patrol team, he went to Li Huaide. He heard all the conversations there. From that time on, he had a certain precaution against Li Huaide, but he was reluctant to give up the huge benefits of television.
Yan Bugui has always been quite wise, and he feels that using the Yanbiao hexagram can help him fill in the gaps.
"Old Liu, you said you would treat me to a meal? What's the matter? You have been so powerful recently. I didn't expect that I could have a meal with you, Boss Liu. It's not easy."
"Hey, Lao Liu, what you said is a bit unkind. What's wrong? Isn't it normal for me to treat you to a meal? We have been together for such a long time. What's wrong with me treating you to a meal less often?"
"Haha, I was just joking and you took it seriously? Otherwise, why do I say it's you, Old Liu? You have the best life in our compound. Look at this refrigerator and this big TV. Oh, you even have a washing machine? This is the first time in our compound."
Yan Bugui couldn't figure out Liu Haizhong's thoughts. Now there were only two of the three, and only he and Liu Haizhong were still active on the historical stage of the Siheyuan.
Yi Zhonghai goes out early and comes back late, and no one knows what he is busy with. Although they live in the same compound, they haven't played chess together for a long time.
His family opened a hotpot restaurant. He was busy with it before, but now the business is getting worse day by day. He is worried.
He made a lot of money some time ago, and now he is a little uncomfortable with his lower income.
Liu Haizhong has been idle for some time and he doesn't know whether the rebar business is still going on. If it is, he would like to invest in it to increase his financial resources.
Now that the environment is so good, the He family has opened several restaurants, and their business is getting better and better. But looking at my own business, it's not the same.
He could never understand why other people's businesses were getting bigger and bigger, but his business was getting smaller and smaller?
He never figured out what the problem was. The family held several joint meetings and discussed the issue, but still couldn't find the cause.
"Old Yan, I have a big business here. Do you want to join in? You can definitely make a lot of money."
Liu Haizhong waited for a long time, and Yan Bugui was just bragging there, saying that he now made tens of thousands of yuan a minute and had no time to chat with old man Yan. If the old man didn't agree, he would do it himself.
"Oh? What business? Are you planning to bring me into your threaded steel pipe business?"
Yan Bugui looked at Liu Haizhong in doubt. When he heard it before, Liu Haizhong did not agree. Now he actually planned to take him along. Why did he seem so unreliable at this time?
They have been dealing with each other for quite some time. It can be said that they have lived in the same compound for most of their lives. How could they not know each other?
Yan Bugui always felt that this was a dream. Liu Haizhong actually planned to take him to get rich together. Looking at this old friend carefully, it was not easy!
"I have a way to get a batch of televisions. These are color TVs. Just think about how much profit there is. If I can handle it alone, I won't take you with me. Think about it carefully."
"Where did you get this connection? Is it reliable? Lao Liu, this is no small matter. If things go wrong, you might have to go to jail. As far as I know, even the department store may not be able to allocate our production capacity to this."
"I came from outside. I checked and the documents are complete. Don't you understand, Old Liu? I will not do anything illegal.
Do you remember Director Li from our factory? He was a very important person. I never offended him when I was in the factory, and he even helped me a lot.
Now that he's rich, he's here to repay me. Don't worry! It's not a big problem."
Liu Haizhong now tells lies without thinking, he just speaks nonsense casually, just want to get Yan Bugui on board to share the risk, even if something goes wrong, his loss will not be too big.
A loss of half would not be a big deal. He had made a lot of money during this period, and the electrical appliances in his home cost more than 10,000 yuan.
Thinking of the "ten thousand yuan households" in the newspapers and on the radio, Liu Haizhong smiled disdainfully, "Ten thousand yuan households"? He had already achieved enlightenment, and he would not be as ostentatious as those people.
What is a 10,000 yuan household? His financial resources are even 100,000 yuan households. After such a long period of development, he sold rebar to the communes around the capital, and he was also a celebrity in the surrounding communes.
Which of the commune leaders didn't want to invite him to dinner? So what if he was an official? They would speak well of him for a little rebar. Now he understood that at this time, only those who controlled resources and money were the boss.
Times have changed. It is no longer the case that being an official is prestigious. No wonder He Yukai resigned from his position as deputy factory director and opened a restaurant instead. It can be said that He Yukai has always been ahead of them.
He has decided to follow in He Yukai's footsteps. He, Zheng He, has been a worker all his life and also a high-ranking official. When the commune leaders invited him to dinner and said good things about him, he found that he could still show off his power even after retirement.
Now, as long as the commune leaders’ business is successful and they have money, even higher-level leaders will invite them to dinner.
"Director Li? Li Huaide?"
"Yes, and Director Li? He has a lot of connections, you should know this, right? After all, you are a retired teacher from Red Star Primary School, you must know Director Li's name, right?"
"That can't be possible. After all, he is the superior of the superior. I know a little about his affairs. Our principal was able to become the principal thanks to Li Huaide. I know that."
"Just tell me straight, are you going to do it or not? If not, I'll find someone else to partner with me."
"Don't be anxious. I have to go back and discuss such a big matter. The children have grown up, and we have to give them an explanation. Even if it means doing something wrong, we have to let them meet Li Huaide.
I want to look at the documents myself, otherwise you should find someone else. I want to make money, but I don't want to lose my reputation in my later years. It's okay to be cautious.
After all, it came from outside, and now it is called "smuggling", which is absolutely not allowed."
"Of course. Give me a reply after you have discussed it. I will arrange for someone to talk to me later. When we confirm it is true, we can make it a deal!"
"Okay! By the way, how much does it cost?"
“Almost one family costs less than 20,000 yuan.”
"so many?"
"How about I ask you to cooperate with me? I can't get it by myself!"
"Okay, I get it. I thought you were really going to help me get rich. It turns out you couldn't have done it without our investment. If you had said so earlier, everything would have been fine!
I was wondering how Lao Liu changed his personality, but it seems I was overthinking it!"
"Haha, we're the same. We went out to buy meat in broad daylight. I'll treat you to mutton as an apology. It's not that I didn't take you with me in the previous rebar, but some people were involved and they didn't want others to know."
"Haha, that's a good feeling!"
I don't believe you at all. Of course he won't refuse meat. It's such a good thing, it would be a waste not to eat it!
