Xu Damao's Thirty-Six Stratagems in Siheyuan

After two days of comforting Fang Xiaoru, Xu Damao contacted Qi Huan and Xu Jun in Los Angeles. Qi Huan welcomed the Kyoto Institute of Chemical Technology to lead a team to visit H&X Specialty Materials Company in Los Angeles, but not to lead a team to visit the University of California.

After National Day, Fang Xiaoru flew to Los Angeles with the college inspection team.

The relevant exchanges were quite fruitful.

Qi Huan had a very pleasant conversation with the team from the University of Chemical Technology. Finally, after half a month of negotiation, Qi Huan half sold and half gave to the University of Chemical Technology a patent for a high-strength PP material with high toughness and corrosion resistance after two different catalysis processes, for RMB 3.5 million.

Qi Huan has many patents for polymer composite materials. Haida Company, which invested in Fangshan, Kyoto, mainly produces GFRP (reinforced glass fiber, commonly known as fiberglass. Fishing rods in the past were mainly made of fiberglass.)

Giving Kyoto Institute of Chemical Technology new PP materials does not conflict with Haida Company, and he has also made contributions to the country. Sooner or later, Haida Company's products will be developed domestically. As for how long it will take, it depends on Haida Company. Anyway, the technology has already reached China, and China is also the beneficiary.

With sufficient funds, Qi Huan's next research topic will still focus on CF (high-strength carbon fiber materials.

"Shuying, your dad told you not to go to the casino so often and to focus on your studies. And you two, Hanhan, Dandan, especially Hanhan, you are my elder sister, please keep an eye on Shuying for me. You should all return to Kyoto for the New Year."

The three girls readily agreed. As for Fang Shuying, how could she listen to Kyoto's remote control? She was now going there to plunder the floating wealth of the capitalist country as a starting point for winning glory for the country. Fight the local tyrants, regardless of the floating wealth.

Zeng Zixuan in Hong Kong was puzzled. H&X International Trading Company registered in the Virgin Islands transferred US$500,000 from Los Angeles every month. There was a lot of money in the account now, and several buildings were bought under the command of Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e.

Fang Xiaoru had not heard Xu Damao talk about this. Otherwise, Fang Xiaoru would really worry that her daughter Fang Shuying would be treated badly in the United States.

Is Xu Damao worried? No. He knows exactly how well Fang Shuying has practiced the Five Elements Qi Refining Technique and the Spirit Refining Technique. Although it is only a little bit behind his own, it is only a little bit behind. If Fang Shuying is really determined, taking someone's life anytime and anywhere is as easy as drinking water, without any sound, and at most a gulp.

If you scrape some, you will really contribute to the country. All this money will be returned to China in the future. It is reasonable not to make money when you have the chance.

Xu Damao still found time to go to Chen Zhiyong's screening room.

"Xiaoyong, how is it? If you don't like it, try doing something else."

"No need, Uncle Mao, my father-in-law is watching over my stall now. It's fine."

"Ah? Where is it?"

"In the back of the fire room. They also sell melon seeds, peanuts, and snack fruits."

Xu Damao really didn't expect that Li Dongsheng would also come to the video room to help, so he hurried to the stove room.

"Brother Dongsheng, ah, long time no see, long time no see, I just heard Xiaoyong say that you are here to watch the stall."

"Da Mao, you're here. I was talking to Xiao Yong a few days ago. This is all thanks to you."

"Stop saying that."

After drinking tea and chatting, Xu Damao learned that Dongsheng's wife Lin was now taking care of Li Yuanchao's children, and Chen Zhiyong gave the two houses in Baishui Village to Li Yuanchao, and the old house in Courtyard 95 was now given to Chen Zhiyong by the Li family. Li Dongsheng had no place to live after retirement, and even though he didn't have a hand, it was still no problem for him to light the stove and make tea. So he came to the video room.

The video hall is doing really good business.

Xu Damao did not deliberately change Chen Zhiyong's life plan. Although the video hall could not make a lot of money, it would still be prosperous for another five or six years. Besides, Li Weihong had a good job now, as a cadre in the system. A harmonious family was more important than anything else. If there were other paths in the future, it would not be too late to change. Chen Zhiyong had so many sisters and brothers, so there would be plenty of opportunities to change in the future.

Today was really fruitful. Li Dongsheng told Xu Damao a lot about No. 95 Courtyard. He also learned that He Yuzhu, out of sympathy, asked the third aunt Yang Ruihua to work in the kitchen of Jingpai Sichuan Restaurant, paying her 95 yuan a month. No. Courtyard is now terribly deserted, and it is completely different from the past. There are only two old people left in Liu Haizhong's family, and none of his three sons come to visit.

The grandson and granddaughter of the Jia family are now like beggars. Jia Geng also wants He Yuzhu to arrange for them to learn cooking in the back kitchen. Yu Li is the first to disagree. Once a pile of shit sticks to you, you can't get rid of it.

Xu Damao actually heard about Qin Huairu. Qin Huairu had retired from the food factory and was now working as a cleaner in the street office guesthouse. There was a temporary worker in the guesthouse who pulled a cart early in the morning. Jia Geng was originally asked to do this job. Unexpectedly, Jia Geng scolded Qin Huairu. Qin Huairu turned around and left in anger.

Xu Damao hadn't seen Qin Huairu for many years. When he heard the news about her, he was still upset.

Should I help or not? After all, we haven't seen each other for many years, and meeting each other might break the peace we once had.

The next day, after careful consideration, Xu Damao went to the Hongxing Street Guesthouse.

Xu Damao used his mental power to detect that Qin Huairu was making the bed and cleaning the room on the second floor.

"Hey, I'm going to go look for Qin Huairu. Is she there?"

"Yes, she seems to be cleaning the second floor. You can go up and find her."

"Qin Huairu."

Qin Huairu was changing the bed sheets when she looked up and saw a young and handsome face standing at the door of the guest room. She was startled. He was still so young and the years had left no trace on his face.

"Da Mao, is that you? Your child is still so young? Look at me, I'm already an old woman. Are you here to see me? Qin Huairu stopped what she was doing."

"Yes, I heard Brother Dongsheng talking about you yesterday, and I know you are still working here. I came to see you by the way. It's been almost 20 years since I last saw you. Are you okay?"

"How can I say good? I can only say it's OK. What about you? How are you now? I really don't know how you are now."

"I'm the same as always, I just resigned from the steel mill and now I'm an idler. But Lou Xiao'e came back a few years ago and is also in Kyoto now. Generally speaking, I'm doing well. How about you? Are Xiaodang and the children all right?"

"Xiaodang, you are a mother of two children now. Both of you work in the gear factory in Chaoyang District. Huaihua, oh, the daughter born to Jianhua and I is also married. Her husband works in the Grain Bureau. My son took my shift in the last batch a few years ago. He and his father both work in the food factory. Overall, it's not too bad. Damao, I'm lucky to have your help back then, otherwise I would have been tortured to death in the Jia family."

"Huairu, I didn't help much. Maybe it was God's will. Are your parents okay in the countryside?"

"Hi, my dad passed away in 79, and my mom is not in good health now. Rural areas are just like that, not much has changed, but now I am working on my own, and the conditions are much better. At least I won't starve. Before my dad died, he asked about you. He seemed to feel that you were his brother-in-law."

"Huai Ru, don't say that. You and I are a family now. I came here today, firstly to see you, and secondly, if, in the event that you need my help in the future, you can come to me. I live in Dongsishi Street now. Of course, there is one exception, that is, I will not participate in helping with Banggeng's affairs."

"Da Mao, even his own mother doesn't want to get involved in Bang Geng's affairs, so how could she possibly ask you for help? Damao, I'm very happy that you came to see me today. My family is doing okay for now. Although my son is not married yet, we have three people in our family, three jobs, and my pension, so we live a fairly well-off life. But I can't compare to you."

"That's all I am. Fine, I don't have anything else to do, so I'll go back."

Xu Damao explained the cause and effect of what happened to Qin Huairu, and heaved a long sigh of relief after leaving the guesthouse.

Qin Huairu saw Xu Damao leaving from the second-floor window, and her heart was still calm. After all, she felt that the memories between her and Xu Damao were still preserved, which were more precious than anything else.
