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

Wen Li was not happy: "This watch is still usable, why should I change it?"

“Although it has commemorative significance, the style is indeed a bit old-fashioned and does not match your clothes.

"He Yuzhu insisted on changing it," We can keep it as a souvenir.

Wen Li thought about it and finally nodded: "Then let's go and take a look.

“The group walked straight into the watch shop.

With Lou Xiao'e's introduction, they learned that this was a Rolex, a brand they had also heard of in the mainland and which was very famous before liberation.

The group was all well-dressed and the shop assistants treated them warmly.

Everyone dispersed and made their own choices.

He Yuzhu said: "Comrade, please take a look at this pair of watches.

“As soon as the clerk heard his accent, he knew he was from the mainland.

However, this did not attract much attention because they were wearing international brands, and although these clothes were eye-catching in the mainland, people were not familiar with the brands and values.

But in Hong Kong Island, especially in specialty stores in shopping malls, such clothing undoubtedly indicates wealth.

Jiang Defu and An Jie will not buy that watch because they can't afford it.

Their shopping lists are relatively small, after all, they still have to rely on wages to make ends meet.

In addition, He Yuzhu would occasionally give away some items, but the quantity was limited, after all, he had to consider Jiang Defu's self-esteem.

Xu Huizhen and Cai Quanwu also have the ability to buy it, but they feel it is unnecessary as they still have a loan to repay!

Although the hotel is profitable, it also has a lot of loans.

Xu Huizhen takes the issue of debt-ridden operations very seriously and has not yet reached the standards of a qualified businessman.

The clerk took out a pair of couple watches. He Yuzhu picked them up and looked at them, then showed them to his wife. "I think they are good. What do you think?"

“Yeah, it’s really good.

Should we buy a pair for Wenxuan and his wife as well?" Wen Li thought of her son and daughter-in-law.

He Yuzhu shook his head and said, “It’s not appropriate. They are in the army, and it’s not appropriate for them to wear such expensive watches.

“That’s right. After all, our identities are different. Even if your family is rich, you can’t be too special.

“Wen Li understood.

The clerk immediately recommended: “Sir, Madam, we have more low-key styles.

“Targeting the large number of shoppers from the mainland, the store staff tried to sell them products.

"Oh? Show it to me.

"He Yuzhu added: "It has to be waterproof."

"Puchi~" Wen Li suddenly laughed out loud, "They are both in the navy, would you not buy a waterproof watch?"

"Yes, how can the navy not wear waterproof watches?" He Yuzhu said confidently, "Wencheng needs one, as for Wenjia... let's talk about it when she goes to college.

“Well, it’s really not appropriate for high school students to wear such an expensive watch.

"Wen Li nodded in agreement. Although He Yuzhu loved Wen Jia, he still had to be strict when necessary.

The two chose for a long time and finally bought two pairs of couple watches.

The pair they own is more luxurious, while the ones given to He Wenxuan and Jiang Yafei are relatively simple, but the price is still attractive.

He Wencheng is single, so naturally one watch is enough for him. Considering that he is doing scientific research, he needs a watch with multiple time zone functions, but He Wenjia does not.

......

After returning to the capital, Jiang Defu and An Jie move into the He family again, and the two families will spend the Spring Festival together again.

He Yuzhu took Jiang Defu to visit his food factory. Jiang Defu was very surprised when he walked into the factory area: "Is this a factory?"

“Yes, this is the food factory I run, and the environment and hygiene are of vital importance.

"He Yuzhu pointed to the green belts and explained: "These green areas are beautiful and beneficial to the workers. They can make them subconsciously maintain hygienic habits.

"Let's go and take a look at the workshop!" He Yuzhu led Jiang Defu into the workshop, but they did not use the employee-only passage, which was for changing clothes and disinfection.

Although the workshop is not a dust-free area, the hygiene measures are very good. The workers all wear uniform white protective clothing and masks, and the indoor temperature is constant.

Onlookers can observe the internal situation from the outside through the glass windows. From a high position, they can see the raw materials in the equipment.

Jiang Defu praised: "Brother, your workshop is really good!"

“When it comes to hygiene and the environment, well… you’re a responsible person.

“Haha~” He Yuzhu laughed and said, “Brother, the most important thing in the food industry is hygiene. Once consumers find any problems, my brand will be finished.

"Besides, this is food that is eaten, so the production and packaging process must be strictly controlled, and the taste is even secondary.

“Of course, the recipe I developed myself won’t taste bad, but the sales of hot pot base and dipping sauce are not good now, and the main sales are instant noodles.

"Come on, let's go take a look!"

I took Jiang Defu to the instant noodle production workshop again. This one was larger and there was more than one.

The noodles are the same, but the seasonings are different, and every link is strictly controlled by quality inspectors.

"By the way, how is Weimin doing recently?" Jiang Defu did not see Jiang Weimin after he arrived.

“I asked him to go out for research, and now Weimin has become my capable assistant.

"He Yuzhu then introduced Jiang Weimin's situation to Jiang Defu. When Jiang Defu asked about it before, he refused to say more. Now Jiang Defu couldn't help asking, after all, Jiang Weimin was his son.

Jiang Weimin performed well, and He Yuzhu gradually handed over many matters to him, but this was a gradual process. Taking into account his low level of education, his experience in the countryside, and his personality factors, he had a lot of areas that needed improvement.

However, Jiang Weimin's advantages are also obvious. He is very obedient, and being obedient means that things are easy to solve.

He Yuzhu slowly assigned tasks to him, allowing him to gradually adapt and become familiar with the work.

Although these things are not big things, they are trivial and complicated and can gradually improve his abilities.

"Weimin is currently investigating water quality issues in Qiandao Lake. Originally, I was supposed to go with him, but the filming of a previous TV series delayed our trip.

"He Yuzhu quickly explained where Jiang Weimin was going.

Jiang Defu frowned and asked, "Can he handle such an important matter?"

"Why not?" He Yuzhu smiled, "For water quality issues, he would have to communicate with the local authorities, pay them to do the testing, and also take samples and send them to Hong Kong Island for secondary testing.

“If the water quality meets the standards, the next step is for me to negotiate with the local government. I will invest in building the plant, and he will be responsible for infrastructure and water source protection.

When Jiang Weimin came back, he seemed very happy to see Jiang Defu and An Jie, and he had something to discuss with them.

"Dad, Mom, I plan to settle down in Beijing and buy a courtyard house like Uncle He's.

"Jiang Weimin discussed with his parents in the guest room.

Jiang Defu asked: "How much money do you still need?"

“No need, I have saved all the salary Uncle He gave me, and I have already arranged a house.

"Jiang Weimin replied with a smile, "Aunt Lou also bought an apartment in the same alley. Next time you come to Beijing, you can stay at our house directly.

"Wow, this house is not cheap, right?" Jiang Defu took a breath, "How much is your salary?"

“Several thousand a month, and I also borrowed some from Uncle He, which will be deducted from my salary when the time comes.

Jiang Weimin explained.

"So much? No...how can you get so much salary?" Jiang Defu got angry when he heard it.

Jiang Weimin smiled and said, "Dad, times have changed. We are a ** enterprise. Do you know how much the director of a food factory earns a month?"

"How much?" Jiang Defu asked immediately.

"More than 10,000 yuan!" The number Jiang Weimin said surprised Jiang Defu and An Jie.

"So many?" Anjie exclaimed.

“But he has a huge responsibility.

"Jiang Weimin continued," Uncle He attaches great importance to the food factory. From the entry of raw materials into the factory to processing and then to packaging, every link cannot go wrong.

The factory director, Zhao Quan, was a technician from a former state-owned food factory and he was very familiar with the production process.

"He is mainly responsible for production, and there is a deputy factory manager who manages other aspects, which can reduce his pressure.

The salary offered by He Yuzhu was very high, but Jiang Weimin himself also earned a lot.

Common prosperity is not just empty talk, the minimum wage for workers is now several hundred yuan.

The salaries of management are generally higher. He Yuzhu does this to motivate their enthusiasm. After all, he cannot manage everything himself, and the management is part of his command system.

Jiang Weimin explained the salary and benefits in detail, and also aimed to attract outstanding talents.

After all, in that era when college students were still assigned by the state, if He Yuzhu wanted to attract talent, he had to offer attractive high salaries, a high price that no one could refuse.

For example, for water quality testing, even if He Yuzhu purchased the equipment, no one knew how to operate and apply it.

Once a beverage factory is established, water quality testing becomes crucial and cannot be neglected.

Of course, if you are producing distilled water, this problem can be solved to some extent.

Jiang Weimin's explanations were now clear and organized. Jiang Defu and An Jie were both satisfied. He Yuzhu was indeed a good teacher.

...

He Wenxuan and Jiang Yafei brought He Changbang back, but He Wencheng returned home two days later. Now he looks more like a researcher.

After He Wenxuan returned home, he found He Yuzhu at dinner time. The father and son came to the yard. He Yuzhu was smoking a cigarette, and He Wenxuan asked his question: "Dad, although our navy is backward, how can we achieve a counterattack in the case of insufficient funds and limited technology?" This question surprised He Yuzhu.

"You ask me this?" He Yuzhu asked in surprise.

"I know you have a unique vision, so it would be nice if you could just give me some inspiration.

"He Wenxuan smiled and said, "The modern navy has become dependent on **. It is no longer the era of big ships and big guns. Aircraft carriers have become the overlords of the sea. The actual combat capability of an aircraft carrier formation is terrifying."

"Our warships cannot get close to the enemy at all. This is just a precaution. We can only visit their fleet. Seeing those advanced warships makes me drool with envy.

He Yuzhu understood that what he knew might cause trouble, but he couldn't ignore his son's problem.

He pondered for a moment and said, "I'm not familiar with this, but I have an idea. We can't build large warships, but we can build small ones!"

"Small one?" He Wenxuan was puzzled. Could it be that even large destroyers were not enough? Did they have to build frigates?

“Yes, a small one.

"He Yuzhu continued: "I took a speedboat when I visited Hong Kong Island. The speed of speeding across the sea was simply too fast.

"I was thinking, could we build a speedboat that could carry missiles, which would be invisible on radar, fire missiles when it came into range, and then quickly evacuate.

"Even if it is discovered, it will be difficult to intercept due to its extremely fast speed. What do you think?" He Wenxuan suddenly realized that this idea was indeed feasible.

In the absence of funds and technology, if such a speedboat can be successful, it will produce unexpected results. The key lies in its low cost, which is especially advantageous when fighting against aircraft carriers.

"Dad, you're awesome!" He Wenxuan said excitedly, "This idea is totally feasible.

“Don’t be too optimistic. The specific implementation still needs further discussion. You should take a vacation now and spend more time with your family. This is not something that can be accomplished overnight.

"He Yuzhu reminded.

“I understand, Dad.

If I encounter something I don’t understand in the future, I will ask you directly.

“He Wenxuan’s trust in He Yuzhu is like omnipotence.

He Yuzhu shook his head and said, “You still need to do more research on your own, especially since you are studying conducting. Funding and technology are not areas you should consider too much.

"Our priority now is to develop the economy, and we will naturally become richer and stronger in the future, and we can also gradually accumulate technology.

It may not be possible to catch up in big strides, but by accumulating little by little, you will catch up one day.

You know, our advantage lies in concentration of strength. The future development of the navy will also rely on a strong command team. What will be needed then is commanders, not funds and technology.

He Wenxuan looked at his father, surprised but also felt that what he said made sense, "Dad, you are right.

"Okay, go in!" He Yuzhu waved his hand and continued smoking, asking He Wenxuan to accompany Wenli. After all, it was a rare occasion for their family to go home. Although the eldest grandson was helping in the house, the son was always the treasure in his mother's heart.

In the following days, people from the Jiang family arrived one after another. They had a large family, many of them got married and had children, and the courtyard was very lively.

However, He Yuzhu did not forget his original intention. On the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, he came to Chen Xueru's house with gifts.

"Oh, what brings you here?" Chen Xueru looked surprised.

"I'm not the kind of person who seeks trouble!" He Yuzhu said with a smile, "I came to you to discuss something.

"Hey, Zhuzi is here?" He Yuzhu just walked in and found Fan Jinyou was at home! The child was not there, probably out playing, He Yuzhu thought it was fine, Hou Kui always felt awkward listening to it, and some things were not easy to say in front of the child.

"At home?" He Yuzhu confirmed.

After sitting down, Chen Xueru poured a cup of tea and asked, "What do you want to see me for?"

"You have never been to my hotel once since it opened.

“If I wanted to manage the hotel myself, I wouldn’t be working with you.

"He Yuzhu said with a smile.

Chen Xueru also smiled, "Indeed, then what brought you here today?"

"This time, I'm here to act as a matchmaker!" He Yuzhu said bluntly, "Should we consider bringing up the marriage between Hou Kui and Xu Jingli?"

"..." Chen Xueru was stunned. She didn't expect that He Yuzhu came for this.
