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

"Second uncle, there is good news, there is good news!"

Xu Damao spoke loudly as soon as he entered the Liu family.

Liu Haizhong hasn't left the house for a long time since he was last discharged from the hospital.

Firstly, he is still undergoing rehabilitation treatment. Although the symptoms of the stroke have been cured, there is still a risk of recurrence.

It is necessary to take drugs to soften blood vessels for a long time to prevent cerebral hemorrhage.

Moreover, it is not advisable to do too much exercise during this period, so Liu Haizhong has been recuperating during this period, and the effect is very good. He is now no different from a normal person.

When Liu Haizhong saw Xu Damao coming, he still felt a little sorry for him.

After all, it was their own family who took the initiative to kick the person out.

Now that people have opportunities to make money, they still come to me.

Liu Haizhong was suddenly a little touched.

"Da Mao is here, old lady, please pour some tea and let him sit down."

Liu Haizhong hurriedly asked the second aunt to bring a stool, and personally pushed the plate of fruit in front of Xu Damao.

"Da Mao, eat some fruit. Try the oranges I just bought."

Xu Damao took the stool handed to him by the second aunt, sat down, and said to Liu Haizhong.

"Second Uncle, I have to thank you for what happened last time. Otherwise, I might have to go out and hide like Guangfu Guangtian."

Xu Damao pretended to be still frightened by what happened last time. Only in this way would Liu Haizhong not suspect that he was the one who reported it.

After hearing this, Liu Haizhong's expression became noticeably uglier, but he immediately changed the subject.

"Da Mao, what did you say just now about getting rich? What's going on?"

Xu Damao asked Liu Haizhong to change the subject, and he immediately followed Liu Haizhong's words.

"Second Uncle, do you know who I met some time ago?"

Xu Damao said mysteriously.

Liu Haizhong rolled his eyes at him and started cursing.

"You run around all the time, how am I supposed to know who you bumped into!"

Xu Damao pursed his lips.

"I met Li Huaide, the one from the steel mill. He now has his own trading company and is doing big business."

"Li...Huide? Director Li?"

Liu Haizhong hated Li Huaide so much. If it weren't for him, he would have been stripped of his position as the leader of the patrol team.

"That bastard, hasn't he been arrested yet? Why wasn't he arrested during last year's nationwide crackdown? Smash the sand pot!"

There was a hint of resentment in Liu Haizhong's words, just like a young wife who had been wronged.

Last year, that is, in 1983, a severe crackdown was carried out across the country, which eliminated all unhealthy tendencies in the country in one go.

Whistling at a girl is a hooliganism and can be punished by being shot.

Anyone who plays both sides is guilty of hooliganism and will be shot immediately.

As for others, such as stealing a box of matches, they will be sentenced to three years.

The national security situation has improved greatly.

Liu Haizhong and his colleagues were lucky. If this had happened last year, they would have had to eat peanuts.

"Uncle, don't say that. It's not shameful to make money. Look at you two. You bought a big color TV and a washing machine with money."

Xu Damao retorted to Liu Haizhong, and Liu Haizhong rarely did not retort because he felt that Xu Damao was right.

"Da Mao, tell me, what is a good business? You are right, it is profitable, not shabby."

Xu Damao said cheerfully.

"Second uncle, you know that the country has resumed international trade, and people's lives have improved. This time we got a batch of refrigerators."

"Refrigerator, I know this, it's a good thing, I don't know how much it costs, I saw one in a department store, it costs thousands of dollars."

Liu Haizhong still had some knowledge and knew about new things like refrigerators.

Xu Damao took a sip of tea and said mysteriously.

"The goods I bought don't cost that much. The mall price is over a thousand. Our goods only cost two-thirds of the mall price."

Liu Haizhong silently calculated the price in his mind and only needed two-thirds of the price, which was more than 800 yuan.

Although it is still a bit expensive, it is still several hundred yuan cheaper than the ones that cost more than a thousand yuan in the mall.

If we can get a refrigerator like this, there will be no problem in selling it.

"No, what I just said was the selling price. If it was the purchase price, then it should be cheaper."

"Da Mao, if we want to buy the goods, what's the lowest price you can give us?"

Liu Haizhong whispered to Xu Damao that as long as the profit was right, he could make a lot of money by selling a few units himself.

Seeing that Liu Haizhong had taken the bait, Xu Damao also became interested. If he could persuade Liu Haizhong to get a batch of goods, even though he didn't have much money, he could still afford to buy a few machines.

It's not a big problem to make a thousand dollars at a time.

"Second uncle, the purchase price must be even cheaper. It depends on how much money you can spend and how much you buy. The more you buy, the cheaper it will be."

Xu Damao made a bottom line so that Liu Haizhong could buy as many refrigerators as possible.

Because You Fengxia told him that she would give him a commission of 30 yuan for every refrigerator sold.

The commission for one refrigerator is 30 yuan, so 10 refrigerators would be 300 yuan.

If Liu Haizhong could sell fifty or even a hundred units, he would get several thousand in commission alone.

"Tell me the truth, how much does one refrigerator cost if there are 30 of them?"

Liu Haizhong didn't want to hear any nonsense, he just wanted to know what the lowest price was.

"If I have 30 refrigerators, I think 850 yuan per refrigerator will be no problem. Then I can find a market and sell them for 1,000 yuan each. The profit of each refrigerator is 150 yuan."

Xu Damao calculated as he spoke, while Liu Haizhong was also calculating silently in his mind.

After all this investment, I earned nearly 5,000 yuan.

This is much more than selling steel bars, working from dawn to dusk and only making a hundred yuan at a time.

However, human nature is greedy. Making only a hundred yuan from a refrigerator is still not enough for Liu Haizhong.

Isn't it said that the more you buy, the lower the price?

Xu Damao also saw what Liu Haizhong was thinking, so he spoke again.

"Actually, Uncle Er, if you think about it this way, you've already bought thirty units, and you've already spent more than twenty thousand. You might as well spend another ten thousand and order fifty units. The price will be lower, and you'll make more money, right?"

"If you order 50 units, the price of each unit can be reduced by 20 yuan, only 830 yuan per unit."

"That's a full 1,500 yuan profit. It's like picking it up for free."

Hearing this, Liu Haizhong's eyes were clearly shining.

Isn’t that right? Isn’t this fifteen hundred yuan like picking it up for free?

"Then...then order 100 units."

Liu Haizhong's voice was obviously trembling. The cost of one hundred refrigerators alone would be around 70,000 or 80,000 yuan.

This was the early 1980s, when there were only a few people with an annual income of 10,000 yuan.

If I tell anyone that I have to spend 80,000 yuan to buy something, I will feel like I am crazy.

Xu Damao didn't say anything, not because he didn't want to speak, but because he didn't dare to speak.

The price of one hundred refrigerators is not something he can decide.

"Second Master, to be honest with you, I am not even qualified to tell you the price of these 100 units. If you are really sincere, I will take you to see Boss You and let her negotiate with you in person."

Xu Damao no longer wants to invest. For one hundred units, the commission alone is two thousand yuan. What's the point of investing any more?

Liu Haizhong was in a dilemma at this time. How could he go out in this condition? The conditions did not allow it!

But he couldn't hand this matter over directly to Xu Damao, as this guy was full of bad intentions. But if he ended up with nothing, it would be a huge loss.

'or………'

Liu Haizhong said to the second aunt beside him at this time.

"Old woman, go and call back the second and third sons."

Second Aunt also knew that this was an opportunity to make a fortune, so she didn't dare to neglect it. She nodded and went out.

It was not until the evening that Liu Guangtian, Liu Guangfu and their wives hurried back to the courtyard.

"Dad, why are you calling us back so urgently? Is there something important?"

Liu Guangtian said a little impatiently.

Liu Haizhong glared at him and cursed.

"If the business wasn't so big this time and I'm not able to move around easily, I wouldn't have asked you to come back..."

Liu Haizhong started cursing, and the two brothers just listened without saying anything back.

What's there to be afraid of when you get scolded? When I was a kid, I could just beat myself with a stick.

After a long while, the second aunt finally spoke up.

"Alright, alright, old man, business is more important, let's talk about business first!"

Xu Damao also nodded, indicating that he should talk about business first.

"Okay, I called you back this time because it's important. Your brother Damao found a big deal, so I called you back. This is a good opportunity to make a fortune."

Liu Haizhong spoke in a low voice, as if afraid that the neighbors outside would hear it.

Next, Liu Haizhong and Xu Damao talked to each other and explained the whole story.

After hearing this, the two brothers' faces flushed with excitement.

This is a big business with thousands or tens of thousands of profits, how can we miss it?

But soon the two brothers became discouraged again.

There are 100 units. Even if I sell them to them for 800 yuan each, the cost would be 80,000 yuan. Where can I get the money for 80,000 yuan?

"Dad, it's at least 80,000 yuan. There's no such money at home. My brother and I don't have the money to pay."

After hearing this, Liu Haizhong felt a little discouraged.

I was so happy just now that I completely ignored the fact that the capital was at least 80,000 yuan.

Thinking of the capital of 80,000 yuan and the profit of at least 20,000 yuan, the Liu family and Xu Damao were worried.

Time passed minute by minute, and it was already dinner time, but they still had no way to get the huge sum of 80,000 yuan.

"By the way, if we don't have enough money, we can find someone to cooperate with. If we all pool our money together, won't that be enough?"

Liu Guangtian suddenly slammed the table and said.

Liu Haizhong and the others were shocked.

Yup!

We don’t have enough money, so we’re looking for other people to join us and we can chip in as much as we can.

"But...who should I look for?"

Everyone fell silent again.

"Why don't we get Uncle San and Yi Zhonghai to come over here."

Xu Damao proposed two candidates and asked everyone to choose from them.

"I think it's okay. Let's not talk about Yi Zhonghai. Even the Third Uncle must have a lot of money. As long as he can join, there will be no problem."

Liu Haizhong also slapped the table and said.

I was really afraid that they would break the table.

After hearing this, the others nodded in agreement. Apart from He Yuzhu's family, these two were the richest families in the courtyard.

"It's Guangtian Guangfu, you should go and invite the two masters over immediately. Old woman, you should take the two daughters-in-law and cook some dishes immediately. We have a big deal to discuss."

The two brothers nodded and ran out quickly.

Soon, Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui were invited to the Liu family as guests.

Yi Zhonghai's hair has all turned white and he looks much older.

There was no life in his eyes, some were just deathly grey.

He was getting older and older, and what he worried about most was that after he died, there would be no one to kowtow to him and hold his spirit tablet.

Although Auntie Yi and Li Zhenzhen also lived in Nanluoguxiang, and Yi Zhonghai visited them from time to time, Auntie Yi simply refused to see him.

Li Zhenzhen, on the other hand, was quite polite to him. She poured him some tea and asked him to sit down and have a rest.

Compared with Yi Zhonghai, Yan Bugui is much more proud.

Several of his children have also started working and some have even started their own families. Especially his eldest son's wife, who is now with Zhuzi and earns hundreds of yuan a month. They are really rich.

"Lao Liu, why did you invite Lao Yi and me to dinner for no reason? I won't be polite then!"

The garlic that Yan Bugui gave him was considered a gift. Even though he was rich, his uncle was still a stingy person.

Yi Zhonghai took out a bottle of wine as a gift.

But Yi Zhonghai didn't say anything. He was a little taciturn now.

"What else could it be? It must be about making a fortune. Sit down first, we can eat and talk at the same time. Old lady, serve the food quickly!"

Liu Haizhong greeted them cheerfully and asked them to sit down and eat.

Everyone was not polite and after they sat down, Second Aunt and the others started serving the dishes.

A group of people were eating while listening to the Liu family and Xu Damao talking about their great ambitions.
