Soul of the Siheyuan: Zhuzi, I can still give birth

Liu Haizhong also poured himself a glass, then sighed and said.

"Da Mao, maybe you don't know yet, but I am finished as the second uncle!"

Liu Haizhong's words scared Xu Damao and he asked hurriedly.

"Second uncle, you...are you terminally ill?"

The second uncle almost spit out his wine. Damn it, how come I have a terminal illness?

Liu Haizhong rolled his eyes at Xu Damao before speaking.

"I'm not sick. What I mean is, Damao, do you have any business that can make money?"

Xu Damao suddenly realized.

So you wanted to discuss business with me. But what kind of business can you, a retired fat man, discuss with me?

"Uncle, don't you have a pension? Why don't you just enjoy your old age? Why do you have to make such a fuss?"

Xu Damao envied the lives of Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai. They did nothing every day but received a pension every month. It was really like lying low.

Liu Haizhong picked up the wine glass, drank the wine in it in one gulp, sighed and said.

"You don't know yet, my pension was cut off by the Lou family. They said I led people to raid their house. They wanted to arrest me and put me in jail, but seeing that I was old, they just cut off my pension."

"Da Mao, Uncle Er is so old now and he has no pension. If he doesn't try to make some money, how will he live in the future?"

Xu Damao was so happy that his heart burst into blossom. This old man finally got his retribution.

But he pretended to comfort her.

"This Lou family is too vindictive. It's been so many years, but they still haven't let it go. Fortunately, I left the steel mill a long time ago, otherwise I would not be able to escape the calculations of this woman!"

Xu Damao felt like he had survived a calamity. He must have lost his mind that year to have provoked the Lou family.

But Liu Haizhong deserves his current fate, but... he suddenly asked me to help him with a business deal, so I can cooperate with him on this.

I heard that among Liu Haizhong's many apprentices, some are doing very well, and another one is the director of a steel plant.

That factory is now producing construction materials, and steel bars in particular, which are in short supply.

"Now that things have happened, don't dwell on it anymore. Haven't you taught many apprentices and sponsored several college students? One of them even became a factory manager!"

Liu Haizhong nodded, but what does this have to do with his business!

"I'm an apprentice and now I'm the director of a steel bar factory. But he's a state-owned enterprise. Can he be of any help to us?"

Xu Damao looked at him as if he were a fool.

"Uncle, why are you so stupid? There are high-rise buildings everywhere now, and construction materials are in short supply."

"So what if it's a state-owned enterprise? He's the head of a factory. You won't let him approve something for you secretly. You are his master, and he can be the factory director only because you sponsored him back then. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to be the factory director."

After Xu Damao's PUA, Liu Haizhong's mind immediately became active.

"Yeah, isn't it stupid to leave such a good resource unused?"

"Besides, it's not like I don't pay for the steel bars when I buy them myself. I just resell them and make a profit from the difference."

"I don't steal or rob, so why should I be afraid of wool?"

After Liu Haizhong comforted himself, he felt in a good mood.

"Da Mao, if I get some steel bars, do you have a market for them? As long as you have a good market, I will immediately go to find my apprentice who is the factory manager."

Liu Haizhong said to Xu Damao happily, and his face was full of expectation.

Xu Damao patted his chest and made the promise.

"Don't worry, Uncle Er. As long as you can get some steel bars, I won't have any trouble selling them. I can eat as many as you want."

Liu Haizhong was also happy, because the God of Wealth had come and no one could stop him.

So he patted his chest.

"Don't worry, Damao. My disciple is very filial to me. As long as I say a word, he will never refuse. In the future, this money will definitely come in an endless supply."

After saying that, he picked up the bottle and filled Xu Damao's glass with wine.

Xu Damao didn't drink the glass of wine, but spoke to Liu Haizhong.

"Second Uncle, let's be frank. The business world is like a battlefield. If you want to make it in this business, you have to make some things clear in advance. Regarding our share of the profits...!"

"Split?"

Liu Haizhong didn't understand what this meant. How could he make any difference with the steel bars that he got from his apprentice?

Xu Damao could see Liu Haizhong's expression clearly.

"You old man, you want to play dumb again. If you want to have the whole thing to yourself, then don't do anything!"

He cursed Liu Haizhong again in his heart and looked unhappy.

Liu Haizhong saw Xu Damao's expression and knew that he was unhappy.

Now I still need this bastard to help me make connections. Once we get familiar with each other, I will kick this insidious guy out and then go it alone.

After making up his mind, Liu Haizhong said to Xu Damao with a smile.

"Da Mao, look at what you are saying. Based on our relationship, there is no distinction between you and me, but...!"

Liu Haizhong paused, looked at Xu Damao, and saw his expression.

Both of them are thousand-year-old foxes, who would set up Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio here?

"How about this, you got the steel bars, and I'm just a middleman. How about this, you take 70% and I take 30%, and I'll just earn some hard work fees. How about that, Uncle?"

Xu Damao was also quite sensible and didn't ask for too much, only 30%.

Liu Haizhong originally wanted a 90% split, but since Xu Damao had already opened the offer, it was not easy for him to bargain anymore. He would kick Xu Damao out in the end anyway, so he just let him show off a little.

"Okay, Damao, just do whatever you say. I originally said it would be 50-50, but I didn't expect you would only want 30%."

The two smiled at each other, then raised their glasses and clinked them together. What a harmonious scene.

However, both of them cursed each other's ancestors in their hearts.

But despite all the criticism, cooperation is still necessary.

The next day, Liu Haizhong went to find his apprentice who was the factory director.

Xu Damao waited at home for most of the day, and he was really anxious.

If we can really get a stable supply of steel bars, it is estimated that this business can make a net profit of at least 300 yuan per month.

Even if I take 30%, it would still be nearly 100 yuan a month, and it is a stable income.

So Xu Damao was eagerly waiting for the second uncle's triumphant return. He even went out to buy some wine and food and set up a celebratory banquet, waiting for Liu Haizhong to come back.

She looked back every few steps, looking at the entrance to the backyard, just like a young wife waiting for her husband who was away on a business trip.

When Qin Jingru came home from get off work, she saw Xu Damao, who walked to the door and looked outside from time to time. He had prepared a table of dishes, so she asked in a low voice.

"Da Mao, we suddenly prepared a table of wine and food, do you want to treat us?"

Xu Damao pulled Qin Jingru and said.

"Wife, we are going to be rich soon. If this business succeeds, we can earn at least a hundred yuan more every month."

Qin Jingru's eyes lit up after hearing this. With a few hundred more dollars a month, she could buy a lot of beautiful clothes and shoes.

"Really? Are you waiting for your partner? This amount of food is not enough. I'll go out and buy some more!"

Qin Jingru said this and went out. Just as she arrived at the gate of the courtyard, she ran into Liu Haizhong who came back excitedly.

"Hey... Qin Jingru, why are you going out now? It's almost time for dinner."

Liu Haizhong saw Qin Jingru rushing out and greeted her kindly.

Qin Jingru heard the second uncle greeting her and responded.

"Uncle, Damao is hosting a banquet again and wants to treat us all to a meal. I'll go buy some more dishes!"

Having said that, Qin Jingru ran out of the courtyard.

When Liu Haizhong heard that Xu Damao had prepared wine and food for him, he hurried into the courtyard and quickly came to the backyard.

When I entered, I saw Xu Damao looking out the door of his house, probably waiting for me.

Seeing Liu Haizhong coming back, Xu Damao hurried out to greet him.

"Oh, Second Uncle! You've come back, please come in, please come in!"

Xu Damao pulled Liu Haizhong and said with a flattering look on his face.

Liu Haizhong did not refuse.

If I can get this done, I'll give you, Xu Damao, a meal. That's not too much, right?

When I entered the house, I saw a table full of food. A rough count showed that there were more than eight dishes.

"Uncle, please take a seat and tell me how things are going."

Xu Damao couldn't wait to invite Liu Haizhong to sit down and asked him how things were going.

Liu Haizhong did not answer, but sat down, opened the bottle, poured himself a glass of wine and took a sip.

Then he picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of food, put it into his mouth, and chewed it carefully.

"The food is a little cold, Damao, go get your uncle some scrambled eggs. He loves that."

Liu Haizhong said to Xu Damao while drinking.

This guy was so pretentious that Xu Damao almost gave him a big slap in the face.

But there was no other way. Liu Haizhong held half the wealth and fortune here in his hands, so he had to endure it.

There was no choice, Xu Damao had to get up and go into the kitchen to make scrambled eggs for Liu Haizhong.

Xu Damao actually knows a little about cooking. After he married Lou Xiao'e in his previous life, he has always been the one cooking.

Lou Xiao'e is a rich lady, how could she cook?

So the scrambled eggs are also fried beautifully.

Looking at the golden scrambled eggs, especially when sprinkled with chopped green onions, the aroma is simply intoxicating.

"Da Mao, you are really good. With your skill in making fried eggs, you can be a chef in Sha Zhu's restaurant. I heard from my apprentice that Sha Zhu has been in four big restaurants."

Liu Haizhong mentioned He Yuzhu at an inappropriate time, which made Xu Damao, who always compared everything with He Yuzhu, immediately unhappy.

He Yuzhu owned four large restaurants, located in the east, west, south and north of the old city. He was extremely famous at the time.

Moreover, Xu Damao also heard that He Yuzhu went to the old city and asked the government to allocate a piece of land, saying that he wanted to build a furniture factory.

We have just had enough food for a few days, who has money to buy furniture? Don’t we just ask an old carpenter to make it at home?

In response, Xu Damao also mocked He Yuzhu and wished his furniture factory "prosperity".

"Uncle, don't mention Shazhu in my house. It's disgusting!"

Xu Damao said to Liu Haizhong with dissatisfaction.

I have been fighting with Sha Zhu all my life. I thought I was better than Sha Zhu in every way, but I was crushed by Sha Zhu everywhere.

Now he wants to make a big move and step on Shazhu under his feet.

Now his hope lies with Liu Haizhong.

As long as there is a stable supply of goods, with his eloquence and ability, he feels that he can control the steel bar trading in the entire city.

By then, who can imagine how much money you can make? You will have to count the money quickly!

That's why he was so concerned about whether Liu Haizhong's apprentice had reached an agreement.

At this time, Qin Jingru came back carrying several lunch boxes.

When she entered the house, she saw Liu Haizhong at home. Only then did she realize that the person who was doing business with her husband was Liu Haizhong.

Liu Haizhong ignored Qin Jingru and spoke slowly to Xu Damao.

"Da Mao, our chance to make a fortune has come. My apprentice said everything is fine, except...!"

Liu Haizhong's pause gave Xu Damao a bad feeling.

Sure enough, Liu Haizhong’s subsequent words made Xu Damao a little unhappy.

"My apprentice said that he also wants to get a share, and he wants 20%."

"Here's what I've decided. You and I will each take out 10% of the profits and give it to my apprentice. That way, there won't be any problems with the supply of goods. What do you think?"

Liu Haizhong also asked Xu Damao.

Xu Damao was naturally unhappy.

Damn it.

I own 30%, and now I am still short of 10%, leaving only 20%.

Liu Haizhong originally had 70% of the profits. Even if you take away 10% of the profits now, you still have 60% of the profits.

But what could Xu Damao say? Although it was a collaboration between two families, the Liu family actually held the dominant position.

The Xu family has no say at all.

"Second Master is the boss. I have no objection. I am just being fed by Second Master!"

In this way, the two people's building materials business was officially started.

To this end, the two went to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to apply for a business license and opened a building materials company.

However, the cooperation between the two families lasted less than half a year before the Liu family kicked Xu Damao out.

Because Liu Haizhong's second and third sons came back with their wives, saying that they wanted to help Liu Haizhong manage the business together.
