Siheyuan: Struggle Begins in the 1950s

The next day, Xu Damao took Cui Dake to exchange money and flew to live a happy life.

The two men rushed to the stock exchange with the money.

Xu Damao brought a lot of money this time. Except for a part of the funds they set up in the country, they basically brought the rest with them.

It’s more than 800 million Chinese yuan.

Cui Dake doesn’t know much about stocks, so he lets Xu Damao make the decision.

Xu Damao is a man who is decisive on major issues.

He picked a few stocks based on his feelings, and then invested all his money in them.

Maybe this time Xu Damao and his friends are destined to get rich.

In the next few days, many of the stocks that Xu Damao bought rose sharply.

Cui Dake was a little worried at first.

But when he saw the stocks he bought go up in value, he finally felt relieved.

Especially when those colorful banknotes were placed in front of him, Cui Dake almost worshipped Xu Damao.

"Brother! You are my real brother, Brother Damao! From now on, I will be your half-brother!"

Xu Damao waved his hand and said proudly:

"It's easy, just basic operations."

Seeing that he had earned so much money from stock trading, Xu Damao now had some mysterious confidence.

Could it be that I am the legendary stock god?

Xu Damao, who had become somewhat inflated, simply continued to dominate the stock market.

Unfortunately, this guy is extremely lucky and his stocks have been soaring for several days in a row.

In less than a week, the money he brought doubled.

Half a month later, under Cui Dake's repeated urging, Xu Damao took him to Kabukichi-cho to experience the local special art performances.

Cui Dake can be said to be a representative of grassroots background.

He never even married a decent wife in his life.

The best women I could meet in the past were those from the Eight Great Hutongs.

Before, we mostly looked for those with half-open doors.

I suddenly came to such a professional place and felt a little embarrassed for a moment.

"Wow! This... this is so white! And that one! That one is so big!"

Cui Dake walked along without blinking an eye.

He looked left and right, and felt that he could not see enough.

At this moment, he wished he had a few more eyes.

Xu Damao, who was standing by, said with a look of understanding as a man:

"That's nothing. I tell you this is just an appetizer. I'll take you to another place tomorrow. That's where the rich enjoy themselves."

Listening to Xu Damao's description, Cui Dake's breathing became more and more rapid, and he couldn't wait to experience it right away.

For several days in a row, Xu Damao took Cui Dake to various red-light districts for a spin.

After playing so hard that his legs became weak, Xu Damao took Cui Dake to Haizhenhui to eat something to replenish his energy.

"Brother Damao, I didn't dare to order anything too expensive the last time I came to Haizhenhui. Just this table of tuna sashimi costs more than 200,000 yuan."

Listening to Xu Damao's introduction, Cui Dake couldn't help but be amazed.

Xu Damao was talking about the Chinese currency, not the worthless Japanese currency.

Even though the two of them had earned a lot in the past few days, they were still reluctant to spend more than 200,000 yuan on a meal.

"I'm telling you, brother Damao, when I make enough money in the future I plan to settle down here. I think this place is much better than China."

Cui Dake seemed to be enjoying himself so much that he didn't want to leave.

For example, if you want to take your girlfriend abroad in China, you have to do it secretly, for fear of being caught by the work security.

"You are so unambitious. When we save enough money, we can go to the United States and experience riding a big horse. Then we can bring glory to our country."

When they talked about this, both of them showed obscene smiles.

Just as the two were chatting about everything.

Xu Damao glanced at the store entrance and suddenly saw a familiar figure.

He couldn't help rubbing his eyes, then stood up and looked again carefully.

Then he waved his hand at the man in surprise and shouted:

"Wang Jianjun?!"

Hearing someone calling him, Wang Jianjun subconsciously looked back.

Then I saw a man with a donkey face.

Xu Damao?

Wang Jianjun was a little surprised.

He didn't expect to meet Xu Damao here.

Isn’t this guy doing rebar business in the country?

How come the little days are gone?

Although he was a little confused, Wang Jianjun still politely stepped forward and greeted him.

Although he knew that Xu Damao was not a good person, they were neighbors after all and they had known each other for decades. He would not pretend not to know him just because of his character.

"It's Damao. I didn't expect to see you here. Aren't you doing rebar business in Sijiu City? Why are you here?"

Wang Jianjun's impression of Xu Damao still remains on the time a few years ago when he and Liu Haizhong partnered in the rebar business.

"I'm done with the rebar business now. I'm here to discuss the electrical appliance business and have a meal with friends. But why did you come here?"

Xu Damao just made up an excuse. The Ponzi scheme he set up was to deceive people by saying that he wholesaled electrical appliances from Xiao Rizi and sold them back home. This statement was reasonable.

Wang Jianjun smiled and said:

"I just came to the store to take care of some things and check the accounts."

Xu Damao was still a little confused when he heard Wang Jianjun say that. When he finally realized what was going on, he widened his eyes and asked in disbelief:

"You said...Are you saying that you own this store?"

"Yes, my wife came here to invest and open this store a few years ago. I occasionally come here to take care of the business when I am free."

Wang Jianjun said, calling the waiter next to him:

"This is a friend of mine. His table will be free of charge later. I will also give them a bottle of sake."

The waiter obviously knew Wang Jianjun.

After hearing his instructions, I nodded very respectfully to show that I understood.

"Da Mao, I'm so sorry. I have work to do and don't have time to treat you this time. You and your friends can just order whatever you want to eat. It's my treat today."

After Wang Jianjun finished speaking, he exchanged a few polite words with Xu Damao and then found an excuse to leave.

Although he had known Xu Damao for many years, he was not prepared to make close friends with him. Besides, as a big boss with many things to deal with, he naturally would not accompany him to reminisce about the past.

Xu Damao was confused throughout the whole conversation with Wang Jianjun and then watched him leave.

It was not until Cui Dake called him that he woke up from his dream.

"Oh my goodness, Brother Damao! Your friend is so rich! He actually opened this Haizhenhui?"

Cui Dake didn’t know how many times he had been shocked.

But after living here for so long and going through so many things, all of these combined were not as shocking to him as meeting Wang Jianjun just now.
