Siheyuan: Starting to work in the street office

Even in later generations, although his reputation was not as good as before, and there were not many authentic things about the old city except the houses, his commercial value was unquestionable.

Ask about the houses and shops in the hotel. Lou Xiaoe'e's father is Lou Bancheng. He doesn't have high requirements for Zhongshan. Zhongban Street is enough. For the shops in Nanluoguxiang, if half of the street belongs to him, he will be satisfied. His requirements are not high...

That's not right. Why should I be so busy? After working in Pengcheng, I have to work again when I return to Sijiucheng?

When I go back I still have to take care of the clothing store or buy a house. Is my life destined to be a hard work?

Forget it, don’t think too much about it. There is still Hou Saner in Sijiu City. If it doesn’t work out, just give it all to him. If it doesn’t work, give him a raise.

Now that I'm out, I might as well walk around for a few days and visit the beach.

The sea seen from Zhongshan is original and undecorated. The tourism industry is not as developed as it is in later times, and no one cleans up the beach. Apart from the sea, there is really nothing to see.

It was also because Zhongshan went to the wrong place. At that time, Qindao already had many bathing beaches, many tourists, and a good environment. It was just that Zhongshan was not familiar with the place and did not find the right place.

And the timing is not right. It's already autumn, which may be a good season for eating seafood, but it's not a good time for traveling.

Of course, even if there is nothing else, just looking at the endless sea will make people feel relaxed and happy, especially for people like Zhongshan who are seeing the sea for the first time.

Needless to say, the journey back to Pengcheng was so painful sitting on a hard seat. Even here, I was still the envy of many people with standing tickets.

Even with Zhongshan's physical condition, after making such a round trip and getting off the bus in Pengcheng, he felt as if all the bones in his body were about to fall apart.

After returning to Julu Group and talking to Li Huaide, Zhong Yuemin and others about the situation at the Qindao Textile Machinery Factory, Zhong Shan decided not to stay here any longer.

Originally, he was planning to look around nearby and look at houses himself, but now he's thinking ahead and will just wait until his business gets on track and then ask Li Huaide and others to help him buy one or two houses.

When the children want to come for a stroll in the future, it will be enough for them to have a place to stay.

"Old Li, I have to go back too. I haven't found a store in Sijiu City yet. I'll leave this place to you and Yuemin."

Zhong Shan was naturally relieved about Li Huaide.

Even if I'm worried, I still have Zhong Yuemin. With the two of them here, they won't have the chance to pit me.

Zhongshan, who usually comes and goes, doesn't care.

Although the daily operation of this factory now depends on Li Huaide, its current foundation lies in Lou Xiao'e's identity as a Hong Kong businessman and Zhong Yuemin's relationship here.

Especially after the factory opened, Zhong Yuemin's relationship was crucial.

So although Li Huaide is the factory director on the surface and Zhong Yuemin does not have a clear position, the two have the same shares and voice, and they check and balance each other, so nothing bad will happen.

Moreover, Zhong Yuemin is not the kind of person who fights for power and profit, and he is smart. Nothing will go wrong if the two of them are together, so Zhong Shan is naturally relieved.

After a period of debugging, the garment factory had already started production before Zhongshan returned to Sijiucheng, and most of the workers were recruited from nearby.

The clothing patterns were all made by the Lou family in Hong Kong Island.

Zhongshan has two plans. One is to slowly build up his own brand. His own store will sell these clothes, which will be positioned in the mid-range. This is a slow process and he cannot be impatient but must take it slow.

The other one is the main way to make money now, which is to make it according to the popular format, do whatever you want, as long as you can make money, even OEM is possible, there are many factories doing OEM here, and they are also selling it privately, everyone does it.

Zhong Shan mentioned this to Li Huaide, and judging from Li Huaide's look, he was also planning to do so.

You have to know that in the past few years before this, Li Huaide had been reselling some things around here to make a profit. Clothes were also in this range. He had sold quite a few of them and was very familiar with this market.

After everything was arranged, Pengcheng no longer needed Zhongshan, so he didn't wait for the people from Qindao Textile Machinery Factory to come and went back to Sijiu City first.

The ticket back to Sijiucheng was better than the one to Qindao, it was a hard sleeper. Although I didn't buy the ticket here, I was not in a hurry and could wait slowly. I went to the station several times and finally bought a hard sleeper ticket.

Although the hard sleeper car is not as good as the soft sleeper car we came here, the space is not big and it has three floors, but no matter how you compare it, it is much better than the hard seat car. At least you don’t have to worry about losing your seat after going to the toilet.

Since he was going back alone, Zhongshan spent most of the journey lying on the berth and did not go out to chat.

There was no conversation along the way. When Zhong Shan got off the bus at the station and saw the familiar scene, he couldn't help but sigh.

"It's still better to be at home. I won't go out anymore."

Zhong Shan called a taxi. It seemed that he was going to buy a car. He bought two cars when he was in Pengcheng. When Zhong Shan came back, the Audi 100 ordered by Li Huaide had arrived. Zhong Shan got in the car and tried two laps under Li Huaide's distressed gaze. Of course, it was not Zhong Shan who felt distressed, but the car.

The Cherokee ordered by Zhong Yuemin hasn't arrived yet, but it should be here soon.

After returning to Sijiu City, Zhong Shan also had the idea. However, although there are many private cars in Sijiu City now, Zhong Shan didn't see anyone buying one. If he bought one directly, it would be too conspicuous.

Although public security is much better now than in previous years, and it has been quiet for a while after the crackdown, it cannot be said to be completely safe.

Although the neighbors now know that I run a restaurant and have some money, it is not yet to the point where anyone would pay attention to me.

If you bring back a car, everyone who knows you or not will know you, it will be too eye-catching.

Besides, there is no place to park the car. I feel uneasy if I park it at the door. If I don’t want to move out, I’ll just get used to living in the yard.

After thinking about it, I decided to forget it. There is no harm in keeping it a secret for now. When I have more private cars, I can buy one myself, and it will not be so conspicuous.

If there is really no other choice, get a motorcycle to ride. Hou Saner bought one, and Zhong Shan also rode it and felt it was pretty good. At least he didn't have to pedal it himself, which saved a lot of effort.

After returning to the courtyard, I washed up thoroughly.

Lou Xiao'e was in the yard. After seeing Zhong Shan coming back, she went to Zhong Shan's house.

Zhong Shan talked to Lou Xiao'e again. Lou Xiao'e's personality is similar to Zhong Shan's and she is not as career-oriented.

In fact, I am not that interested in these things. The reason why I followed Zhongshan to open a clothing factory was because I had nothing to do after returning home, and I couldn't just sit back and eat up all the money I had.

Moreover, she didn't have to worry too much about the garment factory and could just wait to collect the money.
