Siheyuan: Fatty’s Counterattack

Chen Mengqi returned home with a soda, looked at the empty house and sighed.

It seemed like I was eating alone again at noon.

Everyone in the family is busy. Her father opened a restaurant specializing in Huaiyang cuisine in Bamiancaoer in 1981.

This location is from the west entrance of Jinyu Hutong to the west entrance of Dengshikou. It is said that as early as the Ming Dynasty, next to the well in the middle of this street, there was an eight-sided stone trough for drinking water for large animals, hence the name.

In later generations, Bamiancaoer was located in the middle of Wangfujing Street. The entire street was not long, about five or six hundred meters long. It was a very small place name.

Although this place is small, it is currently home to many well-known businesses and buildings. Chen Mengqi's "Qili Pavilion" is on this street.

Qi is his daughter and Li is his wife. The name of the store shows how much Fatty values ​​his family.

Speaking of Huaiyang cuisine, the "Qili Pavilion" opened by Fatty is somewhat related to the famous "Yuhuatai Restaurant".

Yuhuatai was first opened in Bamiancaoer and moved to Xidan North Street in the 60s.

The memories of the old people are still there. Fatty opened a Huaiyang restaurant here, which can be said to get twice the result with half the effort.

The fact that he was able to capture this realm was thanks to Fatty's initiative.

In the TV series, of course Lou Xiao'e invested in the place where Sha Zhu opened a restaurant! Could the place the great spiritual guide found be good?

But do you still remember how much Lou Xiaoe invested in that place? three million!

Although that was already the price in 1988, it was still three million! It’s not even worth three million if Fatty is sold...

With no choice, he had to search in many ways. Later, with the help of Director Wang, he got the store he has today.

In order to open this store, Fatty also spent all his money.

In addition to the four gold bars in Stardew Valley, there are also all the savings accumulated over the years.

Thanks to the rise in international gold prices, the price of one gram of gold has risen to 229 yuan, 6 cents.

The gold bars given to Fatty by the Lou family were all "big yellow croakers", which were twelve gold bars each. This weight is almost the same as the 1 ounce of gold we talk about today.

The weight converted to later generations is 312.5 grams.

The "little yellow croaker" refers to one or two small gold bars. This was the kind Xu Damao gave to Li Huaide. If converted to the weight of later generations, it would be 31.25 grams.

In the era when Lou Bancheng was saving his fortune, "big yellow croaker" was hard currency, and it was also of standard specifications that could no longer be standard. Wealthy families usually have the habit of hoarding "big yellow croaker".

The fat man relied on these four gold bars and scraped here and there to save enough 35 yuan to open the "Qili Pavilion".

When he first started raising money, Fatty originally wanted to recruit Xu Damao into the team.

Xu Damao's life is a little uncomfortable now.

Because he was too harsh in the past and offended too many people, he was constantly retaliated against.

No, the Fifth Workers' Club didn't let him show movies, and actually asked him to go to the door to check people's tickets!

He, Xu Damao, was one of the best in the capital for his film showing skills! No skipping, continuous filming, no accidents in [-] shows, and now he is actually asked to check the tickets?

Xu Damao's life was quite miserable these days, and he couldn't hold his head up in front of Qin Jingru.

How do you say this? Qin Jingru now has a staff! He suddenly became a national cadre, the first in this courtyard.

Only then did Xu Damao realize that he, including Liu Haizhong, the team leader, the deputy director... people like them who climbed up by tricking people, that's bullshit!

In anger, Xu Damao was laid off. I quit and plan to go to sea.

Later, everyone knew that we had a total of three major waves of "entering the sea", corresponding to 3, 1984, and 1987.

This wave has swept through the streets and alleys of the capital. Elders in their seventies and eighties, as well as children who have just entered elementary school, are all discussing starting a business, becoming a taxi driver, becoming a self-employed person, or becoming a household worth ten thousand yuan!

However, this first wave of investment also has a characteristic, that is, the gray economy is too strong.

There are so many people like Xu Damao and Liu Haizhong who rely on their connections to sell scarce goods and make a fortune, but they cannot escape the end of being liquidated and reorganized.

"Big rich people" like them will only be considered lower-middle-level working-class people in future generations. To be honest, they really can't catch the eyes of fat people.

Xu Damao is a rich guy, and there are two "big yellow croakers" hidden under his bed. Not only Qin Jingru knows about this, but the fat man also knows about it.

In addition to what he had done over the years, Xu Damao still had [-] to [-] yuan in his hands.

If he invested all this money and became the second largest shareholder of Qili Pavilion, wouldn't it be better than him smuggling rebar with Liu Haizhong and smuggling imported color TV sets with You Fengxia?

In Xu Damao's ending, he let the two "male and female thieves" Li Huaide and You Fengxia lose all their money, defrauded their families, and finally ended up begging for food all the way back to the courtyard from Changping...

But the fat man had a chat with Xu Damao, and found out that he was not interested in the catering industry. He wanted to engage in industry, mainly to set up a factory;

The fat man then remembered that in the TV series Xu Damao looked down on the restaurant Lou Xiao'e invested in Sha Zhu. He was more ambitious and wanted to set up a factory.

Wang Duoyu has a right saying: "Money is a bastard, we must respect our dreams!"

It's a pity that his dream never came true, and he was so angry that he couldn't bear to see people like Silu Zhu and Yan Jiecheng living better than him.

As a result, he became impatient and focused on making quick money and taking shortcuts, and finally ended up in a desperate situation.

As a result, Fatty thought about it and gave up the idea of ​​recruiting Xu Damao to join the gang.

The road is paved by people, and doing business is not about brotherhood, it is better for everyone to rely on their own abilities.

Speaking of which, the fat man could have raised the money by force. It is to drain Chen Yan of the funds on hand.

Chen Yan also tried every means to persuade him to take away all the money, but the fat man refused to say anything: "Second sister, this money cannot be touched! In addition to maintaining the normal operation of your service team, this money must also take care of our gang. Brother, if anyone has any illness or calamity, he has to get out from here."

Seeing this, Chen Yan could only go home and ask for help. Chen Gangqiang and Zhou Haiqin spent all their savings. After Chen Rong heard about it, she also discussed with Cao Zhengyang, and they gave all their savings to the fat man without a word.

It would be great if I could suddenly make another fortune of 10 or 20 at this time.

Just when Fatty was getting angry, Master Zhou suddenly called him and asked him to have a drink.

Now there are two telephones installed in the yard, one belongs to Xu Damao's family and the other belongs to Fatty's family.
