Golden Color Xiangjiang: A Young Man's Dream in a Siheyuan

When Yan Bugui heard this, he instantly panicked. He couldn't just watch this work station slip away from him.

You should know that the steel mill is basically saturated with workers now, and it will not recruit outside workers at least in the next few years. However, the steel mill is the factory with the best treatment nearby.

Therefore, even if you have 800 yuan in your hand, you may not be able to buy a work position in a steel rolling mill, so Yan Bugui was naturally unwilling to give up.

As for why Yan Bugui did not consider Zhao's work position, he had actually thought about it. However, Zhao's family now has two children, the eldest of whom is ten years old. At least in six years, he could take over the steel rolling mill.

Therefore, it is highly likely that the Zhao family will not sell their workstations. And now that the Zhao family has Zhou Jin's support, even if they sell their workstations, the price will probably not be too low.

If the price is too high, then this workstation will not be cost-effective.

But Sha Zhu is different. He has a job and Yu Shui is still studying. With her current grades, the probability of her getting into high school and then into college is relatively high.

In this way, when Yu Shui graduates, the state will directly assign her a job.

Even if He Yushui really failed the exam and didn't get into high school or technical secondary school, with Zhou Jin around, it wouldn't be easy to find a job for He Yushui.

Therefore, this work position is of no use to Sha Zhu, and Sha Zhu is a person who easily gets influenced. If he can find a suitable middleman to help speak for him, he might be able to get this work position.

Thinking of this, Yan Bugui began to regret again. If he had been able to seize the opportunity when Zhou Jin took the initiative to show his goodwill, Jie Chengdu might have been able to go to work in the steel mill without spending any money.

It’s a pity that there is no medicine for regret in the world. Once adults make a decision, they must be responsible for it to the end.

Therefore, there is only one opportunity before Yan Bugui, which is to take over the work position in Sha Zhu's hand.

"Zhu Zi, it's not that I don't have good intentions. Everyone in the hospital knows my family's situation. I only earn a salary of more than 20 yuan a month, and I have to support a family of six. There really isn't much money at home."

"Uncle, since you don't have money, then don't follow others and buy a workstation. Just wait for the street office to allocate one. That doesn't cost money."

After Sha Zhu finished speaking, he pretended to leave again, but Yan Bugui blocked him at the door.

When Sha Zhu saw this, he just laughed.

"Uncle, are you trying to force a sale? Not to mention that you are no match for me. Even if you can beat me, you should think about what your other two colleagues are doing now."

"Zhu Zi, how dare I force you to buy or sell? You always want to leave at the slightest provocation, and we haven't even settled things yet. Please sit down for a while, and I'll go back to the house to see how much money we have left.

You must wait for me, and you must not leave."

After Yan Bugui finished speaking, he returned to the bedroom. Of course, he didn't really go home to count the money. As a person who is good at calculating, he knew exactly how much money there was in the house.

The reason why he said this was just to give himself a way out. After all, the price he gave just now was indeed a bit outrageous.

Sha Zhu had no real intention of leaving. He also wanted to give Yan Bugui a sense of oppression so that he would have more advantage in negotiating the price.

Sha Zhu waited for about three or four minutes, and Yan Bugui came out from the inner room.

"Zhu Zi, I just went back to my house and carefully counted my family's savings. I don't have 800 yuan, but my family really needs this work station. Can you give Uncle San a little less for the sake of our relationship as neighbors?"

"Uncle, since eight hundred dollars is not enough, how much can you take out at most?"

"Seven hundred and fifty yuan, but I have to save some money to buy food. I have to make it to next month's salary, and I need to save some money for emergencies.

So, I can take out a maximum of 700 yuan, what do you think? "

Sha Zhu pretended to think for a long time before he spoke.

"Uncle, to be honest, your 700 yuan is indeed a bit low. After all, Brother Dongxu and I have such a good relationship and he is willing to pay 750 yuan.

However, you are the only one in charge of the courtyard now, so you should give me some respect. I can accept the price of 700 yuan, but you have to agree to one condition first."

Hearing that Sha Zhu agreed, Yan Bugui was overjoyed and immediately asked.

"Zhu Zi, tell me what the conditions are. As long as I can do it, I will definitely make it clear to you."

"It's like this. I met Banggeng's class teacher a few days ago. Her name is Ran Qiuye. As long as you get her to agree to marry me, I'll give you this workstation for 700 yuan."

Yan Bugui looked at Sha Zhu and recalled the appearance of Ran Qiuye in his mind. Whether in family background, talent, or appearance, Sha Zhu was not worthy of Teacher Ran in any way.

Moreover, this idiot Zhu didn't even ask me to introduce him to Teacher Ran, but directly agreed to get married. I guess he is crazy.

"Zhu Zi, to be honest, you are forcing me. Teacher Ran and I are just colleagues, and she has just been here for a short time. We are not familiar with each other. How can I ask her to agree to marry you directly? This is simply a fantasy.

If I want to introduce you to Teacher Ran, I can do it, but as for marriage, I can't guarantee it."

"Since you can't do it, forget it. If you want a workstation, then take 800 yuan, not a cent less."

So Sha Zhu prepared to use the same trick again. He stood up and pretended to leave.

But this time Yan Bugui did not come over to pull him, but walked to Sha Zhu and helped him open the door.

"Zhu Zi, I really can't do this. I can't afford your work station either. I'd better go look for Aunt Zhao later." Yan Bugui said helplessly.

When Sha Zhu heard this, he was stunned.

According to his assumption, shouldn't Yan Bugui immediately rush over to grab his trouser legs and beg him? Why is he now saying that he wants to buy a workstation from someone else? Does he really not want that workstation anymore?

Sha Zhu suddenly thought of the Zhao family. The Zhao family also had a workstation, but because they always kept a low profile in the courtyard and rarely attracted the attention of others, Sha Zhu often habitually ignored them.

At this moment, the situation reversed instantly, the offense and defense changed, and Yan Bugui seemed to have grasped Sha Zhu's weakness.

Although Yan Bugui could judge that the Zhao family’s work station would most likely not be sold, Sha Zhu could not be sure.

He was caught in a dilemma. He didn't want to give up the opportunity to buy a workstation, but he was embarrassed to compromise easily.

After all, he had just spoken harsh words, wouldn't it be too embarrassing to give in now?

However, Sha Zhu was a thick-skinned man after all. He quickly adjusted his mentality, forced himself to stop, put on a smile, and turned to look at Yan Bugui.

"Uncle, I was a little impulsive just now. Let's sit down and talk it over."

Yan Bugui was naturally happy to see Sha Zhu surrender. He quickly closed the door and poured Sha Zhu a glass of water.

The two of them then had another verbal battle, and in the end, the old fox Yan Bugui gained the upper hand.

The two finally reached a cooperation. Yan Bugui was responsible for introducing Teacher Ran to Sha Zhu, and also needed to help Sha Zhu make arrangements for Teacher Ran to meet him three times.

After doing all these things, Sha Zhu sold the work station to Yan Bugui for 700 yuan.

The two also wrote down the terms in duplicate, and then both signed and sealed them, making the agreement effective.

Sha Zhu failed to gain the greatest benefit, so he just took the box of pastries away. After all, it was not cheap, so there was no need to make it cheaper than Yan Bu.

In fact, the cooperation reached between Sha Zhu and Yan Bugui was not a loss for either of them.

First, let's talk about Yan Bugui. We have just analyzed how popular the regular working positions in the steel rolling mill are. It was a position that paid at least 800 yuan, but he got it for 700 yuan, which saved him a full 100 yuan.

This is enough living expenses for one person for twenty months, and that additional condition is not a problem at all for Yan Bugui.

He and Ran Qiuye are colleagues, and he has seniority, so it is not difficult for him to ask Ran Qiuye for help.

Therefore, this deal was a huge profit for Yan Bugui, after all, the initiative in the final negotiations was in his hands.

Sha Zhu didn't suffer much of a loss either. After all, there were only a few families in the courtyard who could afford the work station in Sha Zhu's hands, including Zhou Jin, Liu Haizhong's family, and Yan Bugui.

Zhou Jin definitely doesn't need to buy Sha Zhu's work station. If he really needs it, he can just tell Li Huaide directly. Even if he finds Director Yang, there will be no problem.

Liu Haizhong's family is now headed by Liu Guangqi, who has just started working and has not yet been promoted to a permanent position. Naturally, he would not spend such a large sum of money to buy a workstation for Liu Guangtian.

Even if you really want to buy it, you have to at least wait until Liu Guangqi is converted to a regular employee. Otherwise, if you really encounter something that requires money in the meantime, it will be troublesome if you don’t have money.

As for Jia Dongxu mentioned by Sha Zhu, he was just saying that to scare Yan Bugui. The Jia family is lucky enough to have enough money to live on.

If Jia Zhang hadn't gone in yet, I could have really paid eight hundred yuan to buy this workstation.

It’s a pity that Qin Huairu and Jia Dongxu were suppressed too badly by Jia Zhang. After Jia Zhang went to jail, no one was in charge of these two people. They started to let themselves go all of a sudden. In less than half a year, they spent all the pension money that Jia Zhang had saved for half her life.

The only thing left was to sell Jia Zhang's gold ring and sewing machine.

Therefore, the only person in the courtyard who could buy Sha Zhu's workstation was Yan Bugui.

Of course, Shazhu could also sell his workstation, but buying and selling workstations is illegal. It’s just that most of the time, everyone has no choice but to sell their workstations, and the people above them just turn a blind eye.

Therefore, Sha Zhu would feel most at ease selling the work station to Yan Bugui. Moreover, he wanted to get to know Ran Qiuye, but didn't want Qin Huairu to know, so Yan Bugui was his only choice.

Besides, Sha Zhu didn't give the pastries he bought to Yan Bugui, which meant that Sha Zhu didn't pay anything, and he sold his useless workstation, and at the same time got the opportunity to meet and date Ran Qiuye.

No matter how you calculate it, Shazhu doesn't lose anything, so this transaction between him and Yan Bugui can be called a win-win situation.
