Siheyuan works as a nanny for Shazhu

Chapter 343: Inviting people to join the gang

Xu Damao hurriedly got up and opened the wine. Today he brought Fenjiu, which was also several yuan a bottle. He shouted, "Second Aunt, I'm sorry to bother you today."

"Just call me Aunt Zhao. I'm no longer the Second Aunt. Damao is the same. He even brings wine and food to my house for dinner. He's really a very nice person."

"Second Auntie is joking. I am a junior, so what's wrong with bringing some wine and food to the elders' house for a meal? In my heart, only Second Uncle can be called a leader in this courtyard. Those other uncles are hard to describe."

"Hurry up and cook a few more dishes. Damao, come, let's drink."

"Hey, Uncle Er, let me offer you a glass. Let's drink slowly."

"Well, drink slowly, eat some food first, and tell me about what's happening in the south."

Xu Damao drank three drinks with Liu Haizhong first, and then took a bite of the food. He then told Liu Haizhong some things he had heard from Li Huaide. Although the economic development had just begun, some businessmen from the port city had already come to invest. As the capital, Yangcheng was a large construction site with dust everywhere.

Now the government still transfers people to develop the area, but when there are a lot of people, you can make a fortune by doing anything, including food, clothing, housing and transportation. I heard that some locals only have two small shabby houses at home, which can rent out for thousands of yuan a year, which is much better than those of us who work.

Liu Haizhong's eyes lit up when he heard this. He worked hard every day and could only make about this amount in a year. Others could make the same amount by renting out their houses. He grabbed Xu Damao and said, "Damo, what do you think of Second Uncle? If you really find a way to make a fortune, don't forget Second Uncle."

"Hey, Second Uncle, I just heard about it. I'm just doing some minor things outside. How can that be worthy of your Second Uncle's attention? Let's drink."

"Da Mao, don't fool Second Uncle. Although Second Uncle is old, he can still see. There have been many people coming and going in your house in the past few months. Look at your clothes, drinks and food now. They are so bad. Remember Second Uncle if you have a way."

"Hey, look at what you said. I'll go ask around. I just sell some radios and the like outside. I don't have any capital, and I can't make much. Uncle Er will definitely not be interested in such a small job."

The two of them had drunk almost a bottle of wine by now, and there were three or four dishes on the table. Liu Haizhong was already drunk, and he pulled Xu Damao and said, "Da Mao, tell me the bottom line of the profit. I also want to make a little money with you."

"Look at what you said. A radio costs 70 yuan to buy and can be sold for 100 yuan. Now the department stores outside charge 120 yuan plus the invoice. As long as there is stock, there is no worry about selling it. People don't have watches, TVs and other electrical appliances. I don't have much capital either. I made this amount of money by reselling it several times."

Xu Damao stretched out a finger and shook it. Liu Haizhong was shocked and asked, "1000 yuan. How long have you been doing this to earn this much?"

"Second uncle, you don't know this, right? I have some rich people over there who have bought a lot of goods. They have made tens of thousands today. That is, since the beginning of spring this year, the weather is cold and people don't want to move. The goods over there are all from the south. The roads are not easy to travel in winter, but if there are goods, you can make more."

Liu Haizhong counted on his fingers and realized that if he sold three units, he would have a month's salary and some left over. However, he still had to come up with the capital, so he asked in a low voice, "Da Mao, how much have you invested now?"

"Not much. I've only saved one or two thousand dollars over the years. You know, I spend a lot, so I don't have much money. I can only take a little bit of the goods and sell them before I can get more. Now I can't get much even if I invest all the money I earn."

Liu Haizhong also calculated that he could only get about 400 units, but sales were also a problem, so he asked, "Do so many people want this thing? It will take a long time to buy hundreds of units."

"Second uncle, how long have you not been out? Nowadays, every household buys some electrical appliances. Just for a wedding, everyone would buy some to keep at home. And some people want them in large quantities. If you buy ten at a time, the price will definitely be lower, but the money will come back faster, and they have ways to take them out."

"You mean, take it somewhere else and sell it?"

"That should be it. Otherwise, why would they need so many? There are people who specialize in this. They sell ten machines at a time. According to our price, they can make hundreds of dollars for each trip. Do you think it's worthwhile?"

"Well, you are right. You still need capital to do business, otherwise you will just watch your money slip away. Damao, take a look at how Second Uncle treats you. Can you bring him in to participate in the business?"

"Second Master, if you treat me badly, I can give you some wine as a gift. Don't worry. If you are willing, I will take you away once. But at least you have to pay this amount. Otherwise, I will give you a few of them."

Xu Damao stretched out two shaky fingers. Liu Haizhong was almost done, but he still remembered to make money. He nodded and said, "Don't worry, Second Uncle still has some money. It's settled. Come on, Damao, have a drink."

"Come on, Uncle Er, drink. We won't leave until we are drunk."

Liu Haizhong saw that Xu Damao was already dying. The two of them had drunk more than a bottle of wine. After finishing this glass of wine, they didn't get any more. He said to Xu Damao, "Damo, eat something, otherwise you will feel uncomfortable at night."

"Drink, and don't go home until you are drunk. Come on, Second Uncle, drink." Xu Damao held up an empty cup, and he could hardly open his eyes.

Liu Haizhong winked at his wife, brought some boiled water over, poured half a cup for Xu Damao, and then it was time for him to drink. He clinked glasses with Xu Damao, who drank it in one gulp and then lay down on the table.

Liu Haizhong shook his head. This Xu Damao was still the kind of person in the factory who would fall down every time he drank. He said, "I drank a little too much tonight. Go and ask his wife to come over and help carry him back home."

Aunt Zhao went out to call Xu Damao's wife. Liu Haizhong sat at the table, thinking about what he said. There was no need to rush and he would go and see tomorrow. Everyone had seen the changes in Xu Damao recently. He must have found a way to make money, otherwise his salary alone would not be enough for his expenses.

Jiang Feng was sitting in the room and watched the whole process, but Xu Damao drank too much and didn't listen at the end. The next day, Liu Haizhong found Xu Damao, and then the routine in the play happened again. Liu Haizhong also started to wear a suit and tie.

Then when the two were discussing how to become bigger and stronger and create brilliance together, Xu Damao said, "Second Uncle, your body is not like mine. I have no problem running around all day, but if you really want to invest a lot, you need someone to follow you. This is not something I can decide alone."

Liu Haizhong was silent for a while, then said, "I understand." He started to think in his heart, Xu Damao was right, his body couldn't run around like Xu Damao. He must find someone to look after so much money this time. He couldn't help but think of his two sons.

I discussed it with my wife at home. Actually, I still keep in touch with my sons. I asked my wife to visit them. Although I did not attend the weddings of my two sons, I still gave them red envelopes. At least I did my best. They both found their jobs by themselves, so they have to fight together as father and son.

However, Liu Haizhong couldn't let go of his pride and go look for his son. Besides, he was the boss now, so naturally he had to act like a boss. After explaining something to Zhao Xiaohua, Aunt Zhao went out.

When they arrived at Liu Guangfu's house, Aunt Zhao pushed the door open with ease. It seemed that she had been here many times. Her daughter-in-law was at home. Aunt Zhao looked at her and asked, "Where is Guangfu? I have something to ask him."

Guangfu's wife said, "He said he would go to Guangtian to take a look, but he didn't say when he would be back. Why don't you go to Guangtian to take a look?"

Aunt Zhao nodded, turned around and walked out. Guangfu's wife was still wondering why this time was different. She was always very polite before, but this time her attitude seemed a bit arrogant. However, she didn't take it to heart. She would find out when Guangfu came back and asked.

Aunt Zhao walked towards Liu Guangtian's house. The two brothers lived not far away, just three yards apart. When they entered the house, the two were drinking tea and chatting. When they saw Aunt Zhao coming, they both stood up and called out "Mom". Guangfu then asked, "Mom, why are you here at this time? What's the matter?"

Aunt Zhao said, "I came to see you. I have something to tell you."

The two brothers now had their own opinions. They asked Aunt Zhao to sit down and poured a glass of water. Aunt Zhao drank a sip of water before speaking: "I came to see how you are today. I have something to tell you. Your father is doing business with Xu Damao now, and they are short of manpower. I came to ask what you think."

"What kind of business? Can it make money?" Liu Guangfu asked. Liu Guangtian also looked unconvinced as to what kind of business that man could do.

Aunt Zhao looked at her two sons proudly and whispered, "I can't tell you what I did. If you want to know, go back and ask your dad. But I've done it two or three times and earned close to this amount."

After saying that, he stretched out two fingers and Liu Guangfu asked in surprise: "2?"

Aunt Zhao was very proud. She glanced at Liu Guangfu and said, "How can your father think highly of such a small thing? Is it worth asking someone to help?"

"2000?"

Aunt Zhao nodded and looked at the expressions of the two brothers. She was extremely proud. Ever since her husband was criticized, she couldn't raise her head in front of the two children. Even after she got married, she was always very cautious for fear of offending the two families.

The old man must be capable, otherwise why didn't Xu Damao find someone else to come to my house specifically? Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu were confused, wondering what they could do to earn so much, but they were also excited. For those who work in the factory, how could they not be excited when they see those people outside dressed in formal attire?

But he had no connections, nor much capital, and he didn't dare to quit his job to do business. Hearing what Zhao Xiaohua said, it would be a lie to say they weren't moved. However, since he hadn't been back for so many years, Liu Guangfu said, "Mom, we have to go to work too. I have to go back and discuss it. I can't just give up my job."

"Yeah, that's true. You should discuss this with your wife. I also think that we must find our own children for this matter. How can we trust outsiders? In fact, it's okay to just do this small one. Your father disagrees and discusses with Damao to do something bigger. Otherwise, why would we need to find someone to help us?"
