Siheyuan: Pioneer in anti-corruption, fighting against evil!

"When have I ever been afraid of these things?" Xu Damao would not admit it, but he added: "She knows I went to drink, don't worry.

After saying that, Xu Damao said again: "Okay, you guys continue, I have to go back, I have something to do!" He did not stay for too long. No one else knew about looking for He Yuzhu, so he hurriedly pushed the cart back to the backyard.

He and Liang Ladi still lived in the backyard. As soon as he entered the door, several children gathered around him and called him "Grandpa".

"Ouch..." A little guy rushed over and Xu Damao quickly bent down to catch him.

Liang Ladi stood up and walked over: "Why does it smell so strongly of alcohol?"

"Zhu Zi invited me to drink a cup, not much..." Xu Damao smiled and said, "I have already asked.

"We'll talk about it later..." Liang Ladi was not in a hurry. She told the children to take a nap and drove them into the house. Then she asked, "What did he say?"

"He said that we can buy more, and the more the better. Housing prices in Beijing are rising very fast, and if we buy now, we will definitely make a fortune in the future.

"Xu Damao said: "Besides, we can't sell our house, and the money may not be enough.

Liang Ladi frowned when she heard this.

"I don't need too much money. I still have the mortgage problem..." Xu Damao explained, "As for steel trading, I can try it a few times, but not for a long time. I have to be cautious in business.

"He said that the value of our bungalows will be inestimable in 20 years.

"Zhu's view is very practical. If this house can be sold for a good price in the future, it will leave a rich inheritance for our children and we don't need to run a business anymore.

It’s enough for me to follow the second uncle and do it a few more times.

Liang Ladi nodded slightly and said, “If it’s really valuable, that would be great.

But now everyone lives in high-rise buildings, so who would want a bungalow?"

"Don't you understand?" Xu Damao laughed proudly, "Just because there are many houses being demolished doesn't mean there will be fewer left.

"Urban expansion has extended to the suburbs, but we are definitely in the city center!"

"Besides, there are fewer and fewer siheyuans, and scarcity makes things valuable.

Liang Ladi suddenly realized, "That's right, how about we discuss it with them tonight?"

“Well, you have to tell the kids too.

"Xu Damao nodded and said, "Let each of them buy one. These houses are all large, with three or four bedrooms!"

“The whole family can live here, and there is a kitchen and bathroom, which will make life more convenient.

Liang Ladi smiled and said, "Good idea!"

“Tell them in the evening and see their reaction then.

“No matter what they think, some people definitely want to stay.

We are still young, so there is no need for them to stay here. We can just let them buy a house.

"It's all a loan anyway, so it's better to buy it early than late, right?"

At night, the children went home from get off work one after another, and the population of the Xu family suddenly increased, with three generations living under the same roof.

Xu Damao's parents have not moved here yet because there are too many people here and it is not suitable to live together.

Da Mao, Er Mao and San Mao are all married and have children. The fourth child Xiu'er is not married yet, and the youngest Wu Mao, nicknamed Xiao Mao, is also not married.

The whole family gathered together and it was very lively, which made the neighbor Liu Haizhong envious.

After dinner was ready, Liang Ladi said, “Today your dad went to Uncle He to discuss the house.

The children were attracted by their mother's topic, and Da Mao immediately said, "Mom, buy one for my brother!"

"Don't interrupt!" Liang Ladi glared at him and continued, "That house is really nice, with many rooms, you can buy one each.

"Mom, we can't afford it, right?" Ermao asked.

“You don’t need to pay the full amount, you can take out a loan, like a mortgage.

"Liang Ladi explained, "Houses in Beijing are getting more and more expensive. Our house will not be demolished and must be preserved, so we can only buy it with a loan.

“It just so happens that there is a residential complex in the east of the city, close to here, we can buy it together.

“Your grandparents are old, you should move out, bring them here, and send your children to kindergarten.

The five children in the family looked at each other.

At this time, Xu Damao said: "Xiu'er is a girl. If you don't want to buy it, I will give you my grandfather's house, and then you can find a live-in son-in-law.

After hearing this, Xiuer said, “If I can get a loan, I want to buy it too. I don’t want to be separated from my brothers.

But what about mortgages?"

After the operation, Xu Damao explained the concept of housing loan, and everyone understood that it is borrowing money from the bank and repaying it on a monthly basis. Although the interest rate is high, considering that Beijing's housing prices will definitely rise in the future, if you don't buy now, you may not be able to afford it in the future.

This is He Yuzhu's opinion, and Xu Damao and Liang Ladi believe it without a doubt.

Later, Xu Damao added: "The bungalow here is not for sale for the time being. Uncle He said that it will definitely appreciate in value in the future. It can be regarded as the wealth we leave for you.

“When the prices go up, you can sell these houses and each of you can get a nice share of the proceeds.

"Dad, don't mention this.

"Sanmao interrupted him.

"It's only a matter of time, but we are still young!" Xu Damao said with a smile: "You have plenty of time to wait.

In the Xu family, the atmosphere is harmonious. Xu Damao is treated like a protagonist. He owns many properties, his children are filial, and his family is large. His life is even more comfortable than He Yuzhu's.

Of course, he is not as rich as He Yuzhu.

However, he does not need too much money to meet his living needs.

After the Xu family finished their discussion, everyone started to eat. A dinner party with many people is always lively.

...

A few days later, He Wenxuan suddenly returned with Jiang Yafei and their two sons. Their second child was a boy named He Changhai.

He Wenxuan's shoulder straps also changed. He has been promoted to school level, which surprised He Yuzhu.

"Wenxuan, why did you come back suddenly? Without even calling me?" He Yuzhu asked.

"Aren't there taxis now?" He Wenxuan replied, "We didn't call, I came back to study.

He Yuzhu was stunned for a moment. Study?

Learning means progress, so he couldn't help but ask, "Is your promotion too fast?"

“The experience over there in the Gulf has opened our eyes to a new paradigm of modern warfare.

He Wenxuan explained: “After graduation, I have been focusing on research in this area, and combined with my previous thesis on speedboats, I attracted the attention of my superiors.

“After a few visits, I had a lot of new ideas.

“Thanks to your inspiration!”

He Yuzhu didn't expect He Wenxuan to improve so quickly, he nodded and said: "Very good, study hard.

"Don't worry, Yafei is here to study, and she is currently pursuing a career in political work.

"Yes, Not Bad.

"He Yuzhu agreed, "By the way, when you come back to study, will you live at home?"

“No, but we can come back on the weekend, and I’ll trouble you and mom to take care of the two children.

"He Wenxuan said.

"Okay, let's leave the child at home for now!" He Yuzhu agreed, "But Changbang should be in elementary school now, right?"

"Does he go to school here, or over there?"

“Let him come with us. You and mom are both very busy, and Yafei has a more regular work schedule, so she can pick up and drop off the child.

“He Wenxuan understood that leaving the children in Sijiu City would bring them trouble, so it would be better for them to live together.

Besides, the child is still young, so it is best for him to be with his parents.

He Yuzhu nodded and said, “That’s fine, after all, it’s better for children to be with their parents.

"Okay, you guys take a rest first, I'll go make you some food.

"He is very happy that his son has made great progress, but he also realizes that the higher the level, the more things to do, so it is a good idea to teach the child more now.

He himself is not willing to take care of children, especially grandchildren, as he is reluctant to discipline them strictly.

As for Wen Li, there is no need to mention her. She is even less suitable for disciplining children.

They didn't take much care of He Wencheng and He Qing's children. Even though they lived under the same roof, it was actually He Qing who usually took care of the children alone.

Anyway, He Qing doesn't need to cook or clean, so it's better for her to educate the child herself unless she goes to film.

He Wenxuan and Jiang Yafei took advantage of the holiday to arrive in Sijiu City early. Before the classes started, they enjoyed a few days of leisure time at home.

When He Wencheng returned home in the evening, he found that his eldest brother and his family had already returned, and he was very happy.

The two brothers had a lot of common topics, and they both discussed in depth the issues of modern warfare around the Gulf incident.

In this regard, they did find common interests! For example, the armored vehicle studied by He Wencheng, once adopted, the system on it can be continuously updated. He mainly confirmed the advantages of wheeled armor.

Today, the country’s finances are tight and it is not possible to carry out large-scale equipment, so it can only adopt the strategy of gradually accumulating technology.

After the end of the Cold War, the Gulf War opened people's eyes, and the two brothers expressed their views on various advanced weapons and tactics.

Sometimes there would be arguments and He Yuzhu's opinion would be sought.

He Yuzhu gave a concise and succinct explanation. Although his views were general, they hit the nail on the head, involving satellite positioning, precision navigation and interception technology.

After all, offense requires means, and interception is equally important. The key lies in accuracy.

Next is the topic of ground forces. No matter how powerful the air strikes are, ground forces will ultimately be needed to intervene, so the importance of vehicles is highlighted.

(He Wenjia was dissatisfied. How could her elder brother not care about her when he came back? So she interrupted them in a coquettish way, which brought their discussion to a regretful halt.

）

At this time, He Yuzhu said, "Wenjia is also at the age to consider marriage. Do you have a suitable partner to introduce to her?"

He Wenjia said coquettishly: "Dad, I don't want to get married so early.

"

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "You, it's because you haven't met the person you like yet. If you do meet someone, you will definitely not want me and your mother anymore.

"

"Impossible!" He Wenjia said firmly.

He Wenxuan suggested: “Wenjia should not marry a soldier.

"

He Wencheng went on to say, “It’s not appropriate for me to do this either.

"

He Yuzhu saw this and realized that he had to find a partner for his daughter himself.

But this is not something you can get just by asking for it.

There are indeed few outstanding young people around, and He Yuzhu has made many mistakes in this regard.

……

Faced with competition, Master He Food began to focus on its advertising strategy.

Thanks to the good cooperative relationship with TV stations, advertising has always been the exclusive platform of Chef He’s Food.

However, the TV station is also developing, and the new director is a man with ideas who plans to auction advertising time.

He Yuzhu learned the news in advance. Since they had a contract and good cooperation before, he notified him in advance to be prepared.

He Yuzhu was not surprised by this. After all, he had already benefited a lot from it, and advertising expenses have always been the bulk of the company.

He used to achieve the greatest publicity effect with the least cost, and his publicity has been at the forefront of the industry for many years.

Master He’s food is deeply rooted in people’s hearts, with sales channels spread all over the country, making it the first choice for similar food.

Of course, there are some followers, such as products like chili sauce, which do not have high technical content but have a wide range of flavors.

The ingredient label only says chili pepper, the origin is unknown, and naturally the taste varies.

However, some people pursue cheapness for such heavy-flavored products and are willing to buy them even if there are fewer peanuts or they are not fragrant enough.

Price is sometimes the deciding factor, but over time, this will become less of an issue.

The current prices of Chef He’s foods may seem a bit high, but due to proper cost control and increased sales, costs are also decreasing.

Therefore, prices can remain stable.

He Yuzhu arranged for Lou Xiao'e to come to Sijiu City to meet with the publicity department to discuss future advertising strategies.

After He Yuzhu described the situation in detail, he asked, "What do you think?"

Lou Xiaoe responded: “It is crucial to seize prime time, we need to maintain exposure.

He Yuzhu understood that prime time was not easy to come by, and he was not short of those tens of millions, but there was no need to make a fuss about it.

Moreover, being too conspicuous may bring trouble. In the past, people's understanding of wealth was limited, but once the winning bidder emerged, the situation was different.

Therefore, He Yuzhu has no intention of competing for the bid.

“For us who make food, there is no need to compete for prime time.

I think TV series time slots are more suitable.

" he added.

He Yuzhu turned to Zhou Junsheng, the head of the Propaganda Department, for advice.

Zhou Junsheng is 42 years old this year, in the prime of his life. He once worked in the UK and returned to China to settle down at the age of 40.

Two years ago, he applied for the position of Publicity Director of Baiwei Group when Lou Xiao'e was recruiting.

Zhou Junsheng agreed and said: "The chairman is right, I agree with your point of view.

“Although there are news slots after prime time, TV dramas are more appealing to housewives.

“They are the group that does the most housework, and food is closely tied to their lives,” he explained.

The Sichuan hotpot chain does not need large-scale publicity. It has been developed for many years, has accumulated a good reputation, and has few competitors.

“Master Ho’s food is our only focus of publicity. The brand is deeply rooted in people’s hearts and there are a lot of advertisements, especially the previous ten-year series.

The survey results show that consumers have great trust in Chef He’s food, so we don’t need to publicize it too much.

After listening to Zhou Junsheng's words, Lou Xiao'e nodded in agreement: "It seems that you have considered it more comprehensively than I did.

He Yuzhu smiled and said, “You have been in Hong Kong Island for too long, and you don’t see some things deeply enough.

Chef Ho’s food has long been popular among the people, but to continue to grow, it needs to stay in the public eye.
