Siheyuan: A Cook in the 60s

"No, I want him to do something. I don't really want him to make money. He can do whatever he wants."

"I understand. Let him get busy." Cao Wei nodded: "It's not that simple. Your sister E has many ways."

"What method?" Sha Zhu turned to look at Lou Xiao'e.

Lou Xiao'e took a sip of wine and rolled her eyes: "You are just wicked."

“No, how is it immoral…” Sha Zhu didn’t understand.

"Ask someone to do the shopping. For example, if you want good ingredients, like shark fins, ask your father to buy them. Don't buy all of them, just buy samples. After he comes back, find an excuse and ask him to find something else. Your wife should be better at making trouble for others."

"Isn't this just making things difficult for you?"

Sha Zhu suddenly realized that when he was at the steel mill, there were many ways to make trouble for others, not just the one Lou Xiaoe mentioned. He knew at least seven or eight ways. There was nothing he could do. His days at the steel mill were boring. They talked about this and that. Even if he didn't want to know, he would know.

"This is not appropriate. He will find out sooner or later. It's better to let him set up a small stall." Qin Huairu stopped him. The more he talked, the more outrageous it became. It was not right to make things difficult for your own father even if he didn't like him.

"Will he? Just make some simple things like this."

"If he has money, he'll probably be willing to do so."

"Okay, I'll figure it out myself." Sha Zhu rubbed his temple with a headache: "Hey, Lao Cao, what are you doing on Thursday?"

"What else can I do? Do you know what's going on at headquarters?"

"You know something? Was someone rigged while playing cards?"

This situation is not uncommon these days. Many people have made a lot of money in the hot market. At the same time, a group of people have emerged to target these wealthy people and set up traps for them. There are endless things like honey traps and traps to make you addicted to gambling.

The fundamental reason, to put it politely, is the mismatch between wealth and knowledge.

To put it bluntly, that means you are drifting.

Shazhu was fine, after all, there was Cao Wei in the courtyard, and Qi Su was in charge. He had some bad habits, but they were not a big deal. When he was feeling proud, he would think of Cao Wei. Qi Su would solve his minor problems on weekdays, and he lived a comfortable life. But other people in Samadhi Tower did not live like this. After ordinary people became rich, they would always go through a process of expansion.

Take Cao Wei for example. In his previous life, after he earned his first million, he indeed acted too arrogantly for a while. But his ending was not good either, as he lost all his money.

This phenomenon is difficult to understand unless you experience it yourself.

It is because of this mentality that the person who sets up the trap cannot be easily caught.

In fact, this psychological process is simple.

When people who get rich overnight are in trouble, most of the time they think, I am already so rich, it doesn’t matter if I take a little for fun, it’s just a little fun, no big deal. But once they are in trouble, they are trapped. They always have various ways to make people addicted, and once they are addicted, they are doomed. Are there people who stick to their original intentions? Yes, but very few. That is the standard of saints, not ordinary people.

Ordinary people have to be beaten with a big stick. Cao Wei can't control those who set up the trap, but it can control its own people.

"Well, we have to let them know the dangers here. After all, many of them are old brothers I brought here at the beginning. We can't let them fall into this."

"That's the truth."

The meeting will be held on Thursday.

This is a rare moment in Samadhi Tower.

Meetings are seldom held in Samadhi Building. It has been nearly ten years since its establishment, and the number of large meetings can be counted on one hand. For general matters, the upper level will just hold a meeting and then pass the matter down.

Everyone was a little curious about this meeting.

Some people say that it is to improve treatment.

Some people also said it was because of what happened last time.

There are different opinions.

Early in the morning, Jing Yu found Cao Wei.

Cao Wei was somewhat surprised: "I say, you are in a high position now, how come you still have time to come and mess with me?"

Jing Yu said helplessly, "Do you really not know or are you pretending not to know? Your family has been involved in a lot of things all over the country over the years. Isn't that enough? You haven't held a meeting in thousands of years, and now you have one. I have to come and see it. What's going on? What's going on this time? Where do you plan to invest?"

In the 90s, the economy was the priority, and because of this, there was a wave of land selling in the country.

Note that the land sale at this time does not refer to real estate development, but the sale of industrial land. How hot is it exactly? Let's put it this way, in just a few years, a land the size of Singapore was sold. Each place used its own methods, and in the end, it was almost half-sold and half-given away.

Some people may ask, what’s the point?

What else can this achieve?

Naturally, the goal is to see how many jobs an industrial park can bring to the local area and how much economic development it can drive.

Therefore, companies that have the ability to take over industrial land will be very popular.

Cao Wei's Samadhi Tower is one of them. In recent years, his work style has been very popular. He has no other style, no big talk, no financial talk, etc. He is down-to-earth. The debt owed in 85 was also paid off within a few years. His reputation is extremely high.

Therefore, Jing Yu naturally had to come over to see what kind of trouble Samadhi Tower was going to make.

You know, every time something happens in Samadhi Tower, it is a big deal. It is not a big problem to boost the economy of a county.

"Today's talk has nothing to do with investment. It's mainly about what happened last time."

"Last time?"

"Yeah, it was a trap set by someone."

Jing Yu paused for a moment, frowned, and sighed: "After all, it's because we didn't do our job well enough."

Cao Wei shook his head: "This has nothing to do with you. We are just a piece of fat meat. It's actually too late for this to happen now. I thought that when I was on TV, someone should have been targeting us."

Jing Yu knew that Cao Wei was telling the truth. Who wouldn't want to take a bite of the fat? It's just that some fat is well protected while some is exposed.

And protecting them is their responsibility.

"What? You still want to stay here?" Cao Wei raised his eyebrows.

"So you are chasing me away." Jing Yu laughed.

"It's fine if you want to stay, but you're such a busy person."

"It's okay, I just want to hear what you have to say. I can learn from you. It's rare to see your Samadhi Tower during a conference."

"Tsk. Fine, stay if you want."

There are more and more people.

The hall of Samadhi Building was later slightly expanded, but it still seemed unable to accommodate so many people.
