Siheyuan: I am different He Yuzhu

"By the way, Dad, how is your business?" He Yuzhu changed the subject and became concerned about his father-in-law Lou Bingcheng's career.

When Lou Bingcheng heard He Yuzhu ask about his business, he became even more excited, his face showed an excitement that could not be concealed, and he talked nonstop: "Xiao He, I am really grateful for your suggestion to let me go south to Hong Kong to do business. This kind of life is much more meaningful than my previous idle and muddle-headed life in the old city. Now my business is mainly divided into two parts, one is to sell various goods produced in Rabbit Country to Hong Kong, and the other is my own industry in Hong Kong. The current business conditions of those factories are very good. Just by reselling domestic goods, in less than a year, I have paid back all the foreign exchange I borrowed when I went south to Hong Kong."

At this point, Lou Bingcheng paused, and then said: "By the way, there is one more thing I want to tell you. Last year, I also bought shares in Hong Kong's Hang Seng Bank." When mentioning Hang Seng Bank, Lou Bingcheng's eyebrows rose unconsciously, looking particularly proud.

"Hang Seng Bank? Dad, what does Hang Seng Bank do?" He Yuzhu looked at Lou Bingcheng curiously with a confused look on his face and couldn't help asking.

Lou Bingcheng slapped his forehead, a look of regret appeared on his face, and he said with a slightly self-blaming tone: "It's all my fault that I didn't explain it to you clearly. During the Qing Dynasty, the banks opened by merchants in Shanxi Province were called money houses, but in Lingnan Province, they called them silver houses. Therefore, those who immigrated from Lingnan Province to Hong Kong, when doing business such as buying and selling gold, foreign exchange and currency exchange there, still called them silver houses according to their habits in Lingnan Province, instead of calling them banks like Westerners. However, since February this year, Hang Seng Silver House has been renamed Hang Seng Bank, and your father, I am the second largest shareholder of Hang Seng Bank!" After saying this, Lou Bingcheng looked at He Yuzhu with pride.

As a later generation, He Yuzhu did not know much about Hong Kong Hang Seng Bank, but he often heard in the news that the Hong Kong stock market index was called Hang Seng Index. As for whether this Hang Seng Index was related to Hang Seng Bank, in which his father-in-law Lou Bingcheng invested, he did not know. However, when he saw Lou Bingcheng's excited look, the smart He Yuzhu immediately realized that this was a great opportunity to please his father-in-law. So, he quickly flattered: "Dad, I didn't expect you to be so awesome, I really admire you! When Da Wa and the other children grow up, with a grandfather as awesome as you, they will definitely become top third-generation rich people, and this is all your credit!"

He Yuzhu's words made Lou Bingcheng very happy, with a proud and satisfied smile on his face. Although Lou Bingcheng's face was full of pride and satisfaction, he said modestly: "Big kids, they are still young now, and it will take more than ten years for them to grow up. I have to continue to work hard and accumulate more family property for them. If it is true as Brother Guan said, the big kids want to conquer the world, my current family property will not be enough." After saying this, Lou Bingcheng looked at He Yuzhu with a serious face.

When He Yuzhu heard this, he couldn't help laughing: "Dad, you still remember this incident? I didn't expect you still believe in this kind of metaphysics of fortune-telling!" He felt that Lou Bingcheng's idea was a bit ridiculous, but it was not easy to refute it directly.

After listening to He Yuzhu's words, Lou Bingcheng replied seriously, "It's better to believe this than not. If the fate of Da Wa and the others is not as your master said, then they can live a life of ease and comfort with the family property I have accumulated for them. But if they really are as your master said, I, as their grandfather, have to help them a little more. So no matter what happens, it won't hurt if I make more money for them."

He Yuzhu looked at Lou Bingcheng's serious expression, and couldn't help but feel touched. He knew that Lou Bingcheng did this for the future of his children, hoping that they could live a better life. Although Lou Bingcheng's behavior might be a bit superstitious, his starting point was good and no one could blame him. So, He Yuzhu smiled and nodded to show his understanding, "Then Dad, you have to work hard! Da Wa and the others are counting on you, and I will help them with my work."

"You are now the deputy director of the Red Star Steel Plant, a deputy-department-level cadre. Just be content with being a cadre in the country. Leave the money-making matter to me! I have set a small goal for myself, and strive to make 5 million within five years." Lou Bingcheng said confidently.

When He Yuzhu heard Lou Bingcheng mention the small goal of 100 million, he couldn't help but look at his father-in-law Lou Bingcheng in surprise. Seeing He Yuzhu's stunned look, Lou Bingcheng couldn't help but feel even more proud.

After listening to his father-in-law Lou Bingcheng's words, He Yuzhu secretly admired him. He knew that his father-in-law Lou Bingcheng had always been a capable and intelligent person, and that was why he suggested that his father-in-law Lou Bingcheng go south to Hong Kong and start a second business. He did not expect that in less than two years, his father-in-law Lou Bingcheng had already made a name for himself in Hong Kong. Thinking of this, He Yuzhu could not help but feel surprised and admired.

He Yuzhu looked at his father-in-law with a lot of emotion in his heart. He thought of every detail of his marriage with his wife Lou Xiaoe, and his father-in-law's dedication and support to the family. Now, his father-in-law has achieved such great success in his career, which makes him feel very proud.

"Dad, you can never make enough money, you should take care of your health and don't be too tired." He Yuzhu said with concern. He knew that his father-in-law had always worked hard, but health was the most important thing.

He Yuzhu's words warmed Lou Bingcheng's heart. With red eyes, he said, "Dad, I'm in good health. It's just that your mother-in-law hasn't seen Xiao'e and the kids for almost two years. She keeps talking about Xiao'e and the kids. It's all because I'm too busy with business. I can't leave for too long. Otherwise, I would have taken your mother-in-law back to Sijiu City to see Xiao'e and the kids."

He Yuzhu felt bad when he heard his father-in-law's words. He knew very well how much his father-in-law and mother-in-law missed their family, especially Lou Xiao'e and the children. He quickly comforted them, "Dad, it's okay, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. We met in Baiyun City today. Next year, I will try to lead the team to participate in the Export Commodities Trading Conference. By that time, Siwa and the others should be almost two years old. I will try to bring Xiao'e and the children to Baiyun City. When the time comes, you can bring mom to Baiyun City as well. It's the same if our family reunites in Baiyun City. It's also a good opportunity for you to meet the three new grandchildren. This year, it's because Siwa and the others are less than one year old, and it takes too long to get here by train. I was afraid that the children would suffer, so I didn't bring Xiao'e and her children here."

"Then it's settled. I hope we can reunite in Baiyun City next year and enjoy the joy of family together." Lou Bingcheng said with a smile. He believed that as long as the family united and worked together, the future would be better and better. Suddenly Lou Bingcheng thought of something and asked hurriedly, "By the way, Xiao He, you came to Lingnan Province to participate in the Export Commodities Trading Conference. Can Xiao'e take care of six children by herself?"

"Dad, before I went south, I specially brought my cousin Cai Quanwu's wife to my house and asked her to help Xiao'e take care of the children while I was on a business trip south." He Yuzhu explained with a smile.

Lou Bingcheng thought about Cai Quanwu's wife, and then he nodded and said with relief: "I have met your aunt, she is a diligent and virtuous woman. I feel relieved to have her help take care of Xiao'e. Xiao He, it's almost noon, let's have a meal next time!"

"Let's go, Dad." He Yuzhu agreed readily.

So Lou Bingcheng took He Yuzhu out of the hotel room and came to the restaurant downstairs, intending to have lunch there.
